timost··on Docker 2.0 went from $11M to $135M in 2 years
On debian and Ubuntu there is the podman-docker [1] package which is really convenient. It allows you to use docker commands with podman as the underlying engine.

timost··on Three Nord Stream gas pipelines damaged in one day
I'm curious about the impact of such leaks in terms of CO2 equivalent emissions Another article mentions 117 million cubic meters of natural gaz in Nord stream 2[0].

timost··on 1 week of Stable Diffusion
Right consistency would be an issue. Thank you for replying.

One use case I have in mind is manga drawing. I wonder if anybody has tested manga related generation.
timost··on Grafana 9.1.0
Provisionning of the new alerting system is now supported.
timost··on Podman 4.2.0
Using DOCKER_HOST and the podman-docker package (Debian and Ubuntu) also makes it really easy to use docker-compose which is more mature and feature-complete than podman-compose.
timost··on Logging in Python like a pro
I agree, structlog is such a quality of life improvement.

It can be tricky to forward all logs through it [0] but it's definitely worth it.

The URL for the blog post hasn't changes but they added the banner with the update.

timost··on Lessons learned from running Apache Airflow at scale
Very interesting ! Thank you for the details.

You mean you used prefect to fetch nodes "system parameters/config" ?

Interesting use case, I use prefect for data pipelines, never thought about that kind of use case.

I think you mean prefect orion/v2[0]. I'm curious too.

timost··on Podman Desktop Companion GUI – Parity on All Major Operating Systems
Npb. It's also listed on the upcomming release page apparently

timost··on Podman Desktop Companion GUI – Parity on All Major Operating Systems
What got me at first are the limitations around rootless containers, which I wasn't accustomed to. Rootfull docker makes many things (networking, volumes etc.) Fairly easy.

I've found this troubleshooting page quite helpful: https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/troubleshooti...

I'm following this issue:

Docker supports wsl2 but I have constant performance issues with it (memory leak, high CPU usage).
timost··on Podman Desktop Companion GUI – Parity on All Major Operating Systems
A few elements to inform the decision:

- Both docker and podman support rootless containers.

- Rootless podman setup is easier to achieve from experience and it integrates well enough with systemd.

- Docker requires a daemon to run at all times whereas podman doesn't.

- A lot of interesting things are going on with podman ("native" gitlab-runner executor in the works, wsl2 support, among other things)

timost··on Just say no to :latest
Maintaining docker containers up to date can quickly become time consumming compared to good old distribution packages. I use both and I'm still trying to find a good combination of tools to reproduce the "package" and unattended upgrades UX where things are safely kept up to date automatically.
timost··on Attrs – the Python library everyone needs (2016)
Last time I checked. Constrained types do not work with mypy out of the box.

timost··on Pre-commit: framework for managing/maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks
One obvious but often forgotten side effect of using pre-commit is that you need to be within a valid git repository with git installed.
timost··on I ended up liking GNOME with the loss of one hand
You can use super + space [1] to switch between langages but that won't be as fast as tour current setup with five different languages [1] https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-layo...
timost··on Show HN: My proposal for a new keyboard layout
I use linux UK international layout. Like AZERTY, it's an ISO based layout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_and_American_keyboards...

It's not available on windows though, so I had to hack a lenovo thinkpad external keyboard to make it compatible with QMK to be able to work properly at my current job.
