Why did they call it Lambda / Functions instead of noserverinos?

I’m not sure if this joke is funny, but I like it.

Impressive, @SystemCrafters has videos for a ton of the technologies I strongly recommend and they seem well produced: Guix, Emacs, org-mode, etc.

I'm glad someone's out there doing that! These are great!

Then check out these two great #LWNnet articles:

Podman learned the lessons of Docker and is now superior, all while being compatible enough to be a drop-in replacement.

Mark my words: Docker is dying, and Podman will replace it.
