unitexe··on What has Docker become?
Personally, I am not interested in kubernetes, just podman for single-node use case. What the kube YAML does for this use case is provide a way to declare a multi-container application.

The podman documentation pages I have found most helpful for this use case are podman-kube-generate (generate kube YAML from an already running pod), podman-kube-play (run the kube manually) and podman-systemd.unit (run the kube as a service).

Edit: I should also mention that there are pod units (which don't require the use of kube YAML) but I skipped over them because they do not support podmans auto-update feature.

unitexe··on What has Docker become?
This seems to be the way.

Short of weeding through the docs, I found the "Play with Kube using Podman" talk on DevConfs YouTube channel helpful.

unitexe··on Bayleaf · Building a low-profile wireless split keyboard
I keep my Logitech MX close cause the infinite scroll is just too damn good. But the MX kills my hands when using for prolonged periods.

To reduce mouse hand travel I got a roller mouse pro slim about 6 months ago. Not great for fine motor tasks but exceptional for other general uses. Alleviated a lot of pain in my hands and fingers.

I use this with a small slim keychron keyboard and with a kinesis advantage 360.

The roller seems to be getting a bit sticky after 6 months of heavy use and transporting it between work and home. Nonetheless, would get another in a heartbeat.

Perhaps worth a look?

You right. This practice lives on in dubstep and soundsystem music in general.

I have also implemented it 3 times. Local updates from file system or USB and networked updates with the mongoose web page & the REST API. Quirky to configure when supporting all these methods at the same time but smooth and reliable once done.

Never got to implement a full OTA update system. SWUpdate supports suricatta & Siemens WFX for this. I played around with WFX and got OS updates working on my local network but didn't do anything else with it.

Nonetheless, if I wanted to implement my own OTA update solution swupdate & WFX seem like a beautiful combination.

If I may ask, how far did you take it?

+1 for kas I won't build yocto images any other way. Using their kas-container script makes building with their container a breeze.

Other kas features I love: - Patching 3rd party layers with quilt - Configuration fragments - Chaining together configuration fragments

As another example, here is my kas setup for building rootfs images and container images for various different boards:

One has to implement the rollbacks in the bootloader after they have implemented an A/B update pattern.

In u-boot this is done with its boot count limit config and altbootcmd.
