• Barbie Secret Agent game for Mac

  Also, if your sister has an Intel Mac instead of an M1 Mac, I highly suggest VirtualBox and setting up something like Windows XP on that instead of Windows 11-- the steps will be pretty similar, and VirtualBox is free. Source: 5 months ago

• Is virtualbox.org down?

  I am unable to reach any page within the virtualbox.org domain including forums, but I can't find any post online about others having this issue. Is there a known problem at virtualbox.org or should I look locally? I usually get the error 502 - Bad Gateway. Source: 5 months ago

• Multipass: Ubuntu Virtual Machines Made Easy

• Can I use a Mac?

  You can use a Mac, then use Parallels or Virtual Box for any virtual machines you might need(I prefer Parallels). There are Educational versions of Windows amongst other Microsoft products available to you through NJIT. Source: 11 months ago

• Down With the Sickness

  In last weeks blog I talked about what my plan was for release 2.9. My main areas of concern was finishing the migration to make use of the images stored in our Docker registry. The other area I was planning on taking on was to slim down those images in the registry by using Docker-Slim. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• `COPY --chmod` reduced the size of my container image by 35%

  Or you can save your time micromanaging your Dockerfile and just use docker-slim. Source: about 2 years ago

• `COPY –chmod` reduced the size of my container image by 35%

  In my experience docker-slim[0] is the way to go for creating minimal and secure Docker images. I wasted a lot of time in the past trying to ship with Alpine base images and statically compiling complicated software. All the performance, compatibility, package availability headaches this brings is not worth it when docker-slim does a better job of removing OS from your images while letting you use any base image... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
