• A Brief History Of Serverless

  Docker introduced their new container technology at PyCon 2013. At this time, Docker containers were just a wrapper for Linux Containers but this fundamentally changed the landscape of computing (more on this later). - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04

  Which is what docker/podman/containerd use. If you want full system emulation look into LXC/LXD. Source: about 1 year ago

• Opinions on linux? I wanna hear yalls opinion on it, because you can do some cool shit with it, heres my own rice for a basic idea of what random shit you can do w/ it

  LXD is a manager for Linux Containers (LXC), which lets me spin up a kind-of lightweight VM for any distro, instantly.

  Flox is the best thing I know of for articulating binary dependencies (language runtimes, etc.), which is probably the sweet spot for nix anyways at the moment. Flox uses nix for its backend, but has a simple TOML syntax and is properly humble about what it can do -- but killer at it -- as opposed to promising the world. https://flox.dev. - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

• Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder

  Nix and NixOS are in something like the state git was in before GitHub: the fundamental idea is based on more serious computer science than the status quo (SVN, Docker), the plumbing still has some issues but isn’t worse, and the porcelain and docs are just not there for mainstream adoption. I think that might have changed with the release of flox: https://flox.dev, it’s basically seamless (and that’s not... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
