They're still accessible by inspect and hash (maybe start with "docker history".) You may find it easier to use that to get enough info to build your own images from scratch, so you have control of what's going in (since

As I understand it (from friends who were SREs in the 2010s) the really clever bit was that projects basically had a budget for "how much SRE attention your deployment needed" - so there was payoff for getting more deployment de

Yeah, I've seen boston-area college students successfully grow szechuan peppers on a south facing (outdoor but sheltered) balcony - with exactly as much neglect as you'd expect from undergrads in a shared apartment. "Absurdly

For a trivial example, the code just calls curl_easy_init, a bunch of curl_easy_setopt, curl_easy_perform to do the work, and curl_easy_cleanup. (It leaves comments like "CURLOPT_WRITEDATA set to a objectpointer" in a comment blo
