I remember doing this because I thought it would teach me to be proficient with Linux. After hours of spamming compilers and watching things build, I gave up. I realise now what I was trying to learn was how to use a Unix system, ie shell c

Docker is open source though... How is this different to Red Hat and Podman?
453.
by mindwok 5y ago
The issue with this is that it's no longer covered by Red Hat's support and lifecycle, which is why most people pay for RHEL anyway.

Mainly I use it for starting services in some kind of order with compose files, but other than that I believe you're correct, it only does anything at startup. It doesn't restart containers that become unhealthy it seems.

Yeah fair enough, if you're in a situation where you have several unprivileged users sharing a VM or something than it makes sense. I haven't come across that yet personally.

Yeah, I do agree about the pods. IMO pods are a better primitive than a single container, so its cool Podman supports them.

The socket doesn't give you the benefits of a long-running daemon though, namely: Healthchecks and automatic restarts, and the ability to run containers beyond rebooting. Podman can do those things but it leverages systemd timers and u

I kinda feel bad for Docker. The prevailing wisdom seems to be that you shouldn't be using Docker anymore, use Podman. Often the reasons for this is that Podman is daemonless, supports rootless containers, etc. But I feel this is mispl

I think in 50 years if Microsoft is still around, it’ll probably be because of .NET. For a company I have very little time for, .NET is an exceptionally awesome tool and ecosystem.

I’ll offer my own anecdote, which was 1 on 1s with a manager who was really just soliciting feedback about the team, how I was going, what I thought we could do better. Now I don’t have them due to a new job, I miss them dearly.

Expect performance issues when running RabbitMQ with persistence? What kind of issues? Also the comment about Redis not being persistent, Redis has lots of persistence options that allow you to choose trade offs between durability and perfo

This matches my experience. Last time I changed jobs, the questions I asked were all thinly veiled scenarios to draw out whether as a developer I’d have the agency to do things without micromanagement. My now team lead saw through this pret

My only problem with LWN is that it’s so good, I get upset there’s nothing even close to the quality of it for the other hobbies/interests in my life.

The biggest pain with this is when you want to highlight some other text to paste over. For example I use the keyboard method for copying urls and pasting into my address bar, otherwise when you select all on the address bar you copy that i

I feel like these marketplaces could maybe justify 30% on the purchase of an app up front, where there are clear benefits to the exposure and platform offered by them. But ongoing revenue is really attributable to the app itself and feels

What’s the alternative to a timestamp representation?

Sounds like what you're really angry at here is a case of micro-services taken to the extreme.

I really don't understand the use case of NFTs for in game assets. How is using a block chain to trade assets an improvement over the in game marketplaces we already have for games like TF2, DotA2, etc?

I tried PDM earlier this year and there's a few things worth noting: - PEP582 which it is based on is still in draft, and some tools (VS Code) won't fully support it until it's accepted. - If you want to develop or test using

How's it been going? Any advice for people who are also terrible artists who will need to hire?

Exposing a setuid program that prints the file would be more dangerous though. The result is the same (you can read /etc/passwd) except now you have a vector for gaining root access through an exploit to this setuid program.

Containers may not be a security boundary yet, but they do promise a level of security and even though the kernel and various runtimes may not be there yet, one day they will be. Every time there's a container escape or privilege escal

Do you have any specific examples of Kubernetes interfering with this contract? I've not heard of this kind of behaviour before.

It has been a while since I used vanilla Ubuntu, so I apologise if some of my answers are outdated. Last I remember the Grub menu was still there. But yes for point 2 my view on Snaps was largely based on third party comments about the safe

I've used them both pretty extensively as well as Red Hat based distros. For me there's a few minor, but important enough to make me stay on pop, differences: 1. It uses systemd-boot as the boot loader. I like not having a grub me

Ubuntu isn't perfect, but as someone who has used Linux as a daily desktop driver for the last 3 years or so, I think it's the best we've got (including downstream derivatives like Pop and Mint). Its release cadence seems to

I've used Gitlab constantly for many years, and they stand out to me as a company that delivers new features at an astounding pace and with a relatively high level of polish. I really don't know how they do it. Congrats to the Git

Most only use it because they're already paying for Office 365 and it costs no extra.
