  • At work we have a contractual design deliverable that was due yesterday, I still can’t get anybody to tell me what I’m supposed to be designing/building. I’ve got the contract, but its so vague that it’s more unhelpful than it is helpful and there’s apparently been 9 months of conversations with the customer, none of which have included engineering, nor has anything from them been written down. So we’re designing something just based on rumors.

    So we’re in crunch mode, but also we don’t know what we’re trying to accomplish… 😩














  • IMO, yes. Docker (or at least OCI containers) aren’t going anywhere. Though one big warning to start with, as a sysadmin, you’re going to be absolutely aghast at the security practices that most docker tutorials suggest. Just know that it’s really not that hard to do things right (for the most part[1]).

    I personally suggest using rootless podman with docker-compose via the podman-system-service.

    Podman re-implements the docker cli using the system namespacing (etc.) features directly instead of through a daemon that runs as root. (You can run the docker daemon rootless, but it clearly wasn’t designed for it and it just creates way more headaches.) The Podman System Service re-implements the docker daemon’s UDS API which allows real Docker Compose to run without the docker-daemon.


    1. If anyone can tell me how to set SELinux labels such that both a container and a samba server can have access, I could fix my last remaining major headache. ↩︎






  • Yeah I had the exact same thought - “huh, transparent case and charging led” - but I hear they’re going to come out with an update to adjust the intensity of it, so that may help that.

    Oh, nice. I’m also wondering if I can’t paint part of the light pipe so it doesn’t shine outward (as much?). Or print some sort of replacement with opaque sides. We’ll see if I ever decide I’m bothered enough by it to actually do that.

    I also upgraded from OG 512 - personally love the OLED so far. Screen is really nice, battery life will be great to have on my business trips, and the clickiness of the Steam and … buttons is a definite improvement. Do you need any of these things? No… but they are really nice things.

    Yep, totally agreed. Though, I finally started one of my 4 HDR games (Death Stranding) and if I knew it was going to make this much difference, I might have been clamoring for it sooner. Though, I don’t know if DS is hamming it up/designed more for HDR at the expense of the quality without it.


  • I upgraded to an OLED from an OG 512. I definitely don’t think it was a “must have” upgrade, but I was never really bothered by the LCD.

    The only thing I have approaching a complaint, which is more of a “huh I didn’t actually think about that”, is that on the LE the charging LED shows through the transparent case from the front. I think I can probably come up with some way to fix that (or at least make it much dimmer from the front).
