I hope this one works better than kitematic! I'm really excited by the implications of docker, but the practicality of using it on windows has proved to be troublesome. It is very difficult to get docker containers running locally (at least using the gui tools) I know that MS believes in it wholesale so am really looking forward to the day when the tools catch up to their promises. So far I've been bashing my head ag…

Kubernetes. Specifically, running kubelet locally is a great way to bring up a "pod" of just the containers you want, configured the way you want. It's actually pretty conveniant, and as dev I have started preferring it as a way of quickly bringing up new things to test on my dev machine. And Kubernetes was designed to scale...you should be able to take your local config file and make it part of the broader client/se…

Thanks for the lead! I'll look this up today.

If I was microsoft, I would overhaul minecraft mods and make it possible to write them in c# (maybe with a bridge or something). Get kids into your stack and fix an existing pain point.

Were I Microsoft, I'd immediately containerize a Minecraft server.

It has been done multiple times, by several people. Just run a search on GitHub :)

Usually you would install java, download the latest server jar and just start it. I was working on a set of scripts to launch multiple containers on the same host and keep track of the ports exposed, but I've only spent a couple of hours on it and jumped to something else https://github.com/pjperez/Multicraft

I've also added a poor man's queue system using Azure Storage :)

Forgive my poor coding; I'm not a developer and only do these things as a hobby.

This is the future of computing, and I mean that without any irony whatsoever. Simulating physical spaces as a metaphor for complex systems is incredibly powerful. I expect to see much more of this in the coming decade, especially once VR starts hitting its stride.

I doubt it. I only want to see relevant information on my UI. How is a 3D spatial representation relevant to the daily tasks of a sysadmin? The relationship between these two information spaces seems tenuous to me.

It's about mapping inputs into a mental picture of what reality is. I am quite good at looking at various diagnostics and reporting available to me and figuring out what is going on. I can look at my New Relic server graphs over time, ps, df, du, free, and others to arrive at a conclusion for what is happening. Someone untrained would not come to the same conclusion as me.

Now, if my network were a castle and bad packets or DDoS attacks looked like Catapults and flaming arrows. It would be very obvious to someone viewing that scene that we are at war and possibly losing. If my walls were huge and the arrows few you would not worry. If my walls were low and small and the arrows many you would realize we are losing. This is an image that can be looked at and understood almost universally, without the need for years of training on what the debug logs in a firewall look like.

https://github.com/docker/dockercraft/issues/3 is a wonderful bug report.

Oh yes! It was so funny to read that one! :D We should start listing hilarious bug reports, I sure we're going to get quite a bunch.

Related, there's a Twitter account that posts weird excerpts from changelogs and patch notes, mostly from games: https://twitter.com/thestrangelog

  "Reduced maximum amount of feathers you can get from hitting dead birds with rocks"
  "Fixed a bug where robots would spawn underneath the piano."
  "Rodent men have no skin"
