@Sosowski I own this nvidia arm device that was once a McDonald's menu screen server. It runs Linux-arm.

@dhh Yes. Well put. You are one of the few people that actually fight for democratizing code and software.

@mayukh_panja Man, get your head out of your ass. Most PhD programs do not pay you. Sometimes you are lucky and get some type of scholarship or stipend, but that is so low you cannot live on it alone.

[Floris Andrei @florisandrei]

@mayukh_panja What a shit-take.

I will be doing a PhD with wife and small kid at home.

No one is paying me to do a PhD and I also don't want their money if it means not also spending time with my wife and kid.

Not everyone is in their 20s.

Kinda. As a prototyping tool it works ok-ish. Working in Computer Vision / SLAM atm, and it can get basic working versions of algos up and running. But end performance is horrible and it cannot fix itself even with proper instructions. Have to always get in there to actually make sure things are all right.

@thdxr I do enjoy refactoring internal dev processes to improve dev ux. It brings allot of joy 👍

@Phantom_TheGame @JennaGrip As someone who grew up on private servers since I had no money, I am now thoroughly enjoying TBC anniversary.

@kunchenguid I would learn the exact same things I learned 15 years ago. Somehow these things are allot more relevant in the world of AI.

Before AI there was allot of discourse about not needing college degrees, that discourse disappeared completely eh?

@plainionist Sigh. Ok. You get this one. Your arguments are so convincing.

@_trish_xD Php teaches you that it is immortal.

First of all, we must talk about what a package is.

A package is something you use to distribute your software - aka how to install it on the target system.

A package will also have dependencies. Package managers in a way create a easy way to trace dependencies of a package as well - SBOMs.

With docker, you sort of start by shipping the whole OS and then adding your own software. Mind you not as a package, but by integrating it directly in the OS by using the OSs traditional package managers.

Docker cannot give you a SBOM. They are just FS layers over other FS layers. I know I am grossly oversimplifying, but this is the main point I am trying to make.

A package considers the whole of its dependencies as well, by simply specifying them - letting the OS through its package managers to install the needed dependencies and their dependencies in turn. In Docker on the other hand, you are the package manager basically - if you don't specify a dependency it is not installed since the dependencies of your software itself are ad-hoc put into the dockerfile.

This is why I think that calling containers packaging is atrocious

@MattEBoardman @tnm Npins is what you are looking for

[Floris Andrei @florisandrei]

@icanvardar Yup.

@mikesulsenti I remember seeing Linus Torvalds himself at DebConf in 2014. He basically said he is a technical person only in regards to the Linux Kernel and he just wants to do his work - in all other regards he considers himself a normal user and he doesn't want his distro to fight him.

@eternaltxts Obsess. Engross yourself in your passion completely. Now is the time to do so.

It will pay dividends in the future. Have fun with it.

[Floris Andrei @florisandrei]

@mistressdivy Yes, but this happens so rarely. In fact, the last time it happened I got married.

Still happily married and she is definitely a challenging gal. Happy and lucky it turned out the way it did.

@LadislavKafka @simonhamp Mongodb was a big issue for us. It is a driver issue mostly.

Also issues with RabbitMq iirc
