Honestly I cannot think of any right now because I am so fed up with corporate proprietary crap.

I have to admit I like the concept of rootless containers very much.

Thank you for the recommendation. I am checking it out now.

I would consider myself a very beginning docker user so I’ve a long way to go but I can see, given that I am a beginner, it might make sense to pivot now to Podman.

I currently use Libby without a SIM card.

Definitely! All it requires are having a Google Account.

What about Void are you liking?

Check out The Odin Project. It is a free full stack developer course. I’m going to give it a try myself.

Ah thank you. I clearly had no idea. 😹

Lemmies? 🤷

In Lemmy, subreddits are known as communities. You join a community by its name, for example !mycommunity@example. Do a search for that community, click on the search result, and you’ll be given an option to subscribe. Note that the search might come up as 0 results even though you got the community name right. It’s just taking longer to find the community.

I have a Dell OptiPlex 7050 micro with 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. All it’s doing is running OpenBSD as my firewall and router. But it is doing some complex routing and traffic shaping and queueing. It’s also a VPN termination point for the WireGuard tunnel between my cloud VPS and home network. My cloud VPS is, in this case, a reverse proxy.

I get the appeal of the single board computer but it never held much interest for me. That could possibly be because my manual dexterity isn’t that good and I found the assembly side of the SBC to be daunting. I’ve been more interested in using the tiny form factor Dell Wyse and Lenovo micro machines.

Shout out to fellow Arch person!

I can relate! The best antidepressant for me is immersion in my hobby of open source software and computing. I also enjoy learning for its pure sake.

What’s really funny is cheese whiz on a steak sounds nasty. But biting into one is like a small piece of heaven.

I like them both for different reasons and depending in what I’m in the mood for.

I totally forgot about Detroit-style. It’s good too!

Your experience is the exception rather than the rule. It’s been shown that rags to riches is a myth perpetrated by capitalism. At one time I had your level of success. It was all taken from me when I became disabled. As a Canadian, you have the distinct advantage of at least some social welfare assistance whereas your neighbor to the south has virtually none.

I wish I could remember the place my Chicagoan friend took me to but it was great. In my area on the east coast we have a chain called Pizzeria Uno which has a reasonable facsimile of Chicago deep dish. But nothing beats Chi-town’s sourdough deep dish pizza!
