I found getting started with Podman on Windows is utterly confusing: 1) Podman has two documentation entry points ( https://docs.podman.io and https://podman.io/getting-started/ ) because... ? It is confusing

I agree. I would say that the reason for using docker-slim should be motivated more by security considerations, than trying to reduce the overall image size. If you want to uphold the highest security, you would very regularly (e.g. every c

Just push it to some image registry (e.g. the one that comes with GitLab), and then use it as image on the next job. You can also use tags to enforce that it is the same runner who runs the two jobs, so that pulling the image becomes instan

Knowing many keyboard shortcuts in your IDE (or other tools) is very useful. I advocate to create your own cheat sheets. I've written about it here, also covering PyCharm: https://www.augmentedmind.de/2020/04/

When I had access to surveying equipment (a Trimble R10 with RTK and sub-centimeter(!) accuracy, basically delivering ground truth), I tested the accuracy of Google Maps: in the region where I tested it, the projection of the aerial image w

In my experience (I have over 10k flashcards in Anki and SuperMemo) it takes a lot of time to create the cards (vs. repeating/learning them). But the main reason is because I have to take time to think about and understand the content

I really like Vagrant. However, it is extremely(!) slow, and every command takes 3-30 seconds (including commands that should take 50 ms). You also know about this, and chose not to act on it :( [0]. Would the transition to Go remove this i

I've found Vagrant very useful to test (or develop) GUI-based applications, especially on platforms which Docker cannot run as container, such as macOS. I've also collected further thoughts on when to choose which (and how they ca

How does this differ from Earthly? https://github.com/earthly/earthly Earthly lets you abstract anything you do inside a container into an Earthfile, that runs locally on a dev's machine, but also in any CI, makin

The advice to start really slowly is good. It also makes sense to have a kind of plan, on paper, to commit to, and to remind yourself, holding yourself accountable. Blogging about that is not a bad idea, either. What I did wrong (and someti
