The worst part about quadlets, IMO, is that they don’t use the same key words as podman run does. So turning a working podman container into a quadlet can be challenging.

Dropping the Windows tax means being able to offer computers for cheaper prices, which is attractive to consumers. Several companies are offering Linux these days.

Linux is still not ready for mainstream consumers

Jorge Castro of Universal Blue likes to say that the average person doesn’t install operating systems, and I fully agree with him.

People rock what comes installed on their computer. Anyone who installs an OS them self is not an average user.

I think we’ll see the average user start to choose Linux as more and more manufacturers ditch the Windows tax and ship computers with Linux.

Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it’s magic.

containers should be immutable and not be able to write to their internal filesystem

This doesn’t jive with my understanding. Containers cannot write to the image. The image is immutable. However, a running container can write to its filesystem, but those changes are ephemeral, and will disappear if the container stops.

I sit to pee when I get up in the middle of the night. Don’t have to be able to see.

Comments shouldn’t explain code. Code should explain code by being readable.

Comments are for whys. Why is the code doing the things it’s doing. Why is the code doing this strange thing here. Why does a thing need to be in this order. Why do I need to store this value here.

Stuff like that.

That was one of the things that drove me away from Windows. Coming to my desk in the morning to see my computer on not sleeping because it woke up to apply updates or some other shit pissed me off.

Just one of the many ways that with Windows, my computer didn’t feel like I was in control of it anymore.

With Linux, I’m in complete control and it feels so good. Also knowing that I’m not giving out data just by using my computer is great. And FOSS is just cool.
