@paul_ipv6 @mvilain @stefano Given that the main computer-related income I’ve received since #y2K has been a shareware check for a Mac INIT I wrote in the 80’s, and a few free lunches from a friend whose Windows machine I removed a few viruses from, the likelihood of my employment requiring using Docker is fairly slim. It is possible that I may want to learn it anyway, if some side project (not that these days I really have any non-side projects) seems to need it.

I just finished an amazing call.
The person I was talking to was trying to explain to me that Docker is an entire operating system, so he doesn’t want Linux or any of the BSDs, but Docker. I explained that, in order to run Docker, you need a kernel."No, you don't. Docker does everything on its own. If you think that, then you don’t really understand operating systems."
I told the guy that I couldn’t help him, since I'm not experienced enough with operating systems. He was a bit disappointed, but we said goodbye on friendly terms.
I'm used to recognizing when I'm too ignorant for the person I'm talking to, and I'm happy to step aside.
Oof, cubed 🥴

@stefano The Dunning-Kruger is strong in this one. I asked a candidate what the difference is between a VM and Docker container. Interview ended shortly after that question.

@stefano it's worse: he needs linux on freebsd to run docker

@stefano If they are looking for an expert on docker, they are rejecting everyone who knows something about docker.

It's so infruriating the other way too. I was being interviewed by a "very smart boy" about algorithms for a job. He asked how to multiply very large numbers, then kept overtalking me when I was trying to explain how to do it with an FFT.
"No, that's for signal domain transformation"
"No, I asked about multiplying numbers"
In the end he did me a favor, because I would rather defenstrate him than work with him. I did email him this after our interview:

@stefano my blood pressure just skyrocketed while reading your toot. Wow… just wow… but bullet dodged I guess?

Gotta have the right pants for all the Dockers.

@maysonic @paul_ipv6 @stefano I spent 9 months working for a startup as their build engineer/AWS admin. They developed an application that made local storage available to containers without using network or the file sharing mechanism before kubernetes existed. I knew nothing about Docker and it's ecosystem prior to the job and learned a lot. Things have evolved in the 7+ years since then but containers haven't changed all that much.
If I knew then what I know now, I'd have worked harder to push my boss to accept more automation but he only wanted to implement what he knew and understood. Even with the stuff I wrote, the 2 developers I "trained" on my stuff still had deer-in-the-headlights stares through the class I gave the day I left. I also left all the dirty dishes in the sink rather than rinsing and putting in the dishwasher while I made my last cup of tea in the microwave. I shoulda taken a picture.

@release_candidate @mvilain @stefano
Sure, cgroups and namespaces are implementation details on Linux. But probably(*) the specification of a container doesn't require that those specific technologies are used. Docker/podman on a macintosh runs in a VM, and if I recall correctly, docker on NetBSD works similarly.(*) I didn't look it up

@stefano Sorry for the stress, hope the rest of 2026 only brings you cookies

Dear 2026, I believe I've already built up enough stress to last me until the end of the decade. Could you kindly tone it down and refrain from adding any more?
Thanks!Signed:

L’UE alle prese con i costi dell’energia. Ma petrolio e gas naturale (importati) contano ancora il 60 per cento del mix energetico

Domani i capi di stato e di governo dell'UE chiederanno a Bruxelles misure "mirate" a breve termine per contenere i prezzi, trainati in alto dal conflitto in Medio Oriente. L'Italia e altri

It's less that I want less art, and more that I want less Whedon/Fillion/Confederate apologism. I have more thoughts than I can probably effectively convey 500 characters at a time, because I don't even necessarily disagree with the themes (the government _is_ out to get you, but also holy shit we can deconstruct it better than this)
I love firefly, but especially in the context of modern everything, ugh, someone else please give me space cowboys.

@Craigp The overall curve of the sail doesn't require any special operation other than bending it with your fingers.
These ships are just a few centimeters, so a tennis ball is too big anyways. Generally you roll the sail up against a pen to curve it, though this might destroy some of the 3D bulges.
I'm talking about creating individual bulges in the lattice of sheets. If you fold it into a zig-zag and let dry around a small rod, unfortunately half of the bulges from that will go in wrong dir.
-
@androidarts How about folding it a few times, wetting it, and then pressing it against a tennis ball? While still folded, of course.

@datarama @liw I forgot to mention no car! I do have three cats, but they don't cost nearly as much as kids.
It will not surprise you that I am on the spectrum too. My late wife was probably borderline.
It was really freeing to me when I wised up and asked the financial advisor. (And was glad I already had one, courtesy of my credit union.) Heartily recommended if available. Fed him my current assets and amounts of the several pensions I had pending, highballed a guess of how much I'd want to spend per month, he plugged the numbers into a program that made reasonable assumptions about inflation and computed I'd be OK until at least age 90. Likely much longer now.
That leaves the problem of boredom/feeling useful--I enjoy my work and that I am helping people who deserve it. (I work at a university.) But I've developed enough other interests that I ought to be OK, and tested it some years back when I got burned out and took several years off working.
In any case I hope you find a comfortabler solution.
