About gear54rus

An engineer passionate about JS and basic tech freedoms (e.g. right to repair, OSS, net neutrality).

I think the web with all its shortcomings is the best thing to happen to tech industry and I want it to succeed. That does NOT mean it should be used for everything.

    I can understand why that happened at least remotely. If you do all those things they refused 'officially', it might be easier for stupid government idiots to paint it as a dangero…

    Its not only intimidating, its clunky and error-prone. That's the answer to OP's question, this podman thing does not have good UX story.

    exactly you're stealing from the open internet, the best case punishment you should hope for is that these gains are socialized back

    Absolutely not, there are plenty of use-cases for them. https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package comes to mind off the top of my head. Hopefully current hysteria will not result…

    yees, any second now! the leap here is browser extensions appearing to block all mentions of ai across the web and that's a good thing

    I think at least on windows you can powercycle it quickly a few times until it gives up this behavior. Not sure about Chromebooks.

    This thing also helps capture images from stupid crap apps that prohibit screenshots. On my rooted phone with a disable-flag-secure module installed, adb screenshots are still blac…

    I checked your page. Wanted to ask, are you using longhorn with k3s for replicated volumes? How beefy a box do you need for that (CPU/MEM/Disk speed)? I have several VMs in clouds …

    It's simple to use only for toy use cases, that's why nobody uses it. The article everyone in this thread seems to like only goes as far as 'I pushed to git so it must be ok' which…

    Then you learn podman can't even list containers for all users properly and it kind of starts smelling like the whole ip4 vs ip6 debacle: bunch of vocal proponents wanting you to s…

    You simply don't. This quest of saving idiots from themselves is not gaining anyone anything and meanwhile other people get more and more useless restrictions.

    And I'll just fire up a chrome instance which I specifically keep for when my daily driver firefox decides to spazz out and not implement basics in 2026 :'(
