If you have 16GB of ram you can already run the smaller models. And these have become quite competent with recent releases.

Unless GH has another database oopsie.

And it is still living in weather forecasting models used by many weather institutes.

Totally accepting it is my system being slow. It is a openwrt router after all.

Also taking f2fs for a spin.

As far as I have experienced (I didn’t measure this): don’t use that partition for container layers. It might just be my system, but f2fs has slowed my container engine down a bit.

Took me a solid second to get it as well.

My k3 pro is a personal bluetooth jammer. If it is on bluetooth nobody in the room is able to do anything else if it connects with bluetooth. I already updated the firmware.

It is still a great wired keyboard.

Trowing in my 2 cents. I am currently an AWS cloud “engineer”. I put it in quotes because the market is wild. In one place you actually design a landing zone for the company to use. In others you are a glorified support plus ops, but still get paid decently because the title is in demand and you passed a few multiple choice quizes from Amazon.

My current workplace has 99% in python. But this can also vary between companies.

Of course, this varies per region. I am in the Netherlands and our department has perpetually 3 job offers open.

You are correct. I just have a coworker that has ingrained the philosophy in me to always look for a way to put it in configuration, and not in a script that you have to maintain.

I don’t always agree with that. And I find your solution as valid as mine. It is always a matter of taste and trust. In this case in the script, or the fsdriver. That’s why I always quote the “easier” when comparing solutions to Linux problems.

But you can still get a bunch of good ones on the second hand markets. Also, NUCs are still a thing. Intel deemed the formfactor mature enough too pull out themselves and leave it too the partners to develop further.

I am no expert. But I think there is an ‘easier’ way too manage this with an overlay filesystem.

Have an immutable base with all permissions set. When a session is started have it be done in an in-memory overlay. On logout drop the overlay.

This might be easier if you don’t want to rely on cronjobs. But as I have no experience myself setting this up… ‘easier’ should be taken with a grain of salt. I just took inspiration from docker.

If we talk about solutions: python has plenty. Which might be overwhelming to the user.

I use Direnv to manage my python projects. I just have to add layout pyenv 3.12.0 on top and it will create the virtual environment for me. And it will set my shell up to use that virtual environment as I enter that directory. And reset back to default when I leave the directory.

But you could use pipenv, poetry, pdm, conda, mamba for your environment management. Pip and python do not care.

Also pipx for cli tools. It creates isolated environments for every tool you install. And upgrading is one command away pipx reinstall-all --python (your pyenv).

You forgot the third option: A Mac ;)

I did some shallow digging, and my guess is the virtual machine that is started for each.

I see that the podman vm is a whole ass fedora image, at least back in 2021 when this article was written.

Rancher seems to use alpine if I understand the configuration correctly

Finch also uses fedora… I think. Their config is seemingly simple to the point it looks deceptive.

That is awesome. I prefer podman, despite what my list might suggest.

I work somewhere that doesn’t have licensing with Docker Inc. And I work on a Mac. With Docker desktop out of the picture, I got some experience with the alternatives. I know this post is about the native implementation and not the VM one, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents:

Alternatives run by me: Podman, Rancher Desktop, Finch

Results:

• Podman uses a lot more energy on idle than Finch and Rancher. On AVG 4 more Wats on an M1. (Normal idle is about 5W, so 9 almost doubles it cutting greatly in my battery life)
• Podman and Finch are not compatible with some tools that expect a full docker sock. In my case the AWS CDK and SAM CLI have issues. (Which is fun as Finch is also made by AWS)
• Finch does not offer a sock at all
• Finch requires you to recreate the full VM when updated.
• If you really want to have a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop, use Rancher Desktop. Rancher lacks in UI and the extension feature. But I never had issues with the sock, as I can run it with containerd.
• Finch has no UI
• Podman’s VM has clock drift if you put your machine in sleep. Only solution I found is to reboot the podman VM.
• Podman allows you to log in the VM with a command. I haven’t found a way on the others.
