Don’t learn Docker, learn containers. Docker is merely one of the first runtimes, and a rather shit one at that (it’s a bunch of half-baked projects - container signing as one major example).

Learn Kubernetes, k3s is probably a good place to start. Docker-compose is simply a proprietary and poorly designed version of it. If you know Kubernetes, you’ll quickly be able to pick up docker-compose if you ever need to.

You can use buildah bud (part of the Podman ecosystem) to build containerfiles (exactly the same thing as dockerfiles without the trademark). Buildah can also be used without containerfiles (your containerfiles simply becomes a script in the language of your choice - e.g. bash), which is far more versatile. Speaking of Podman, if you want to keep things really simple you can manually create a bunch of containers in a pod and then ask Podman to create a set of systemd units for you. Podman supports nearly all of what docker does (with exception to docker’s bjorked signing) and has identical command line syntax. Podman can also host a docker-compatible socket if you need to use it with something that really wants docker.

I’m personally a big fan of Podman, but I’m also a fan of anything that isn’t Docker: LXD is another popular runtime, and containerd is (IIRC) the runtime underpinning docker. There’s also firecracker or kubevirt, which go full circle and let you manage tiny VMs like containers.

Apparently it breaks group chats, notwithstanding that it’s an Apple problem, Signal exists and doesn’t feature any of this nonsense.

Btw COW isn’t necessarily (and isn’t at least for ZFS) a performance trade-off. Data isn’t really copied, new data is simply written elsewhere on the disk (and the old data is not marked as free space).

Ultimately it actually means “the data behaves as though it was copied,” which can be achieved in many ways. There are many ways to do that without actually copying.

As of 2017 he still contributes and said “it’s fun.” I assume he did.

But even Linus has since admitted that his behavior was unacceptable.

CAD (cardboard aided design) is really powerful. You get to fail fast: figuring out things don’t work before more expensive manufacturing steps (such as laser cutting).

And using inkscape is fine, but even better if you print it out and stick it to cardboard.

It’s 99% the thumb cluster: I wanted an extra button.

Also 99% for fun.

I have retained the original library names in repo. Keebio-parts and ScottoKicad - both on GitHub.

I’m both an AMD (7900XT) and NixOS user. AMD drivers are known for being a bit wonky when they’re brand-new on Linux.

I continue to have a particularly bad experience with anything Flatpak (I chalk that up to its Ubuntu influences, rather than Linux in general), but everything else works perfectly.

If a game doesn’t support Linux I refund it. Haven’t had to refund in a good long while.

Pro-tip for dual booting Linux: make it the primary OS. Humans are inherently resistant to change, so you need to set yourself up for overcoming that.

Putin has been claiming that Ukraine invaded him all along, so now what? “Oh they are invading for realsies.” I’ve been hoping that Ukraine would call him on his bluff.

It’s an entire planet’s war.

I started with a Hakko, $120. It blows my mind how much better a $25 soldering iron (Pinecil V2) is. Both only have 2 buttons, but the Hakko does a terrible job with them. The Hakko also takes significantly longer to heat, which resulted in me running it really hot when I first started out.

Sadly, these big apps already have tons of exemptions.

Not littering.

It was never in harbor to begin with.

Mostly the IT stuff (server builds, networking, etc.) and especially the home stuff. I’m a fiend for information, and it was a pretty digestible format.

I recently switched away from the Legion 5 15ARH05: AMD APU+NVIDIA. The thing with laptops is that you are at the mercy of the system integrator. They are able to integrate the GPU in weird ways and often do. For me the external monitor wouldn’t work without the proprietary NVIDIA drivers installed. The NVIDIA drivers caused all sorts of problems, from backlight woes to failure to resume from standby (which worked fine without the drivers installed).

If you do go with an NVIDIA machine, go with one that is built for Linux. I switched to an all AMD (I really don’t want to deal with NVIDIA bullshit) System76, but I hear their NVIDIA story is pretty good.

Do not buy a Windows+NVIDIA laptop and put Linux on it - unless you get a glowing recommendation for a specific model.

You should install the open source System76 modules for the best experience (not required): https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

Linux actually stands for “Linux is not Unix.” Recursive acronyms were a bit of a geek inside joke at the time.
