That’s one thing - installing and trying out Podman compose takes less time than remembering where to get Docker compose from.

I always at least try it first, because it’s not expensive to try.

Haha. Yes. This meme would be more fair to call “podman compose” out as “we have Docker compose at home”.

I’m not a fan of the compose pattern anyway. So it doesn’t usually bother me.

Interesting.

I used to do it the way you’re recommending (before I had podman compose), but I got tired of installing docker compose, and haven’t suffered enough for just using Podman compose, lately.

I do think more things are more likely to work the way you’re saying. Compose doesn’t seem to be standardized yet? And the original dev was probably using Docker compose - for any randomly selected project.

But when I can get away with podman compose, I do, as I recall it being much easier to setup.

Podman is the RedHat implementation of the Open Container Initiative (OCI).

A Dockerfile and a Containerfile are both OCI. Docker and Podman can generally both use either.

Contrasted with Docker, Podman has better security defaults, and installers and licenses that are both actually open source. (Parts of Docker are open source. Parts are not.)

Docker used to lead with additional features beyond OCI such as Docker Compose, but Podman Compose has been a thing for a while, now.

The more mature a product is, the more likely it works perfectly with any OCI compliant tool.

For rookie work, I feel like there’s still fair odds the developer only uses Docker and may rely on some anti-pattern that requires setting “bad security=ok” settings before their project will work in Podman.

Your mileage may vary.

I’ve had the opposite experience. Good to share our data points, though.

Docker desktop is not. (open source)

Which can be a pretty big deal.

This works out to: The product is unencumbered, but the only reliable installer is encumbered as fuck.

That’s a “no thanks”, from me.

I don’t need the sword of “Docker fucking with my colleague’s ability to collaborate” hanging over each of my projects.

I’m not mad at folks using Docker for backwards compatibility. I just don’t need to make the problem worse.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe - out of Quark’s replicator!

Wild. I will keep that in mind if I ever have a drink with either of them at a politcal fund-raising party.

That guy is clearly an expert.

History suggests you would want a very competent head of security, because some rich nepo babies wouldn’t like what you were doing.

What an incendiary thing to say!

Can someone tell me what Jack Black said? I bet it was provocative!

Edit: Oh - Was Jack blacklisted for associating with Kyle?

Well, I guess those boys finally fell from the political good graces they so carefully maintained for so long.

Still, if Jack said anything rude about anyone powerful, I would like to hear it so that I can consider it in my future judgments.

“You know what, forget it. I’ll walk.”

The first episode of the 70s BSG had me hooked. Humanity all alone in the universe facing extinction.

And…in the second (third?) epsiode they put their feet up in a space pub full of thriving sentient aliens.

The tone whiplash was strong.

Like the bab5 scene where Londo sings the Hokey Pokey and gets irate because it’s a totally mid-tier song that 'everybody" knows.

“…and then they put their left hand out! They’ve undone their previous progress! It makes no sense!”

It’s a great rant. Now I need a Babylon 5 rewatch. Thanks!

Yes. Enterprise was canceled just as it found it’s stride.

and I challenge you to watch it again and defend its virtues.

“Barf” is a half dog played by John Candy. I rest my case, your honor.

My kid watches it continuously, and they and I find it hilarious.

And yes, people do roll their eyes at my Monty Python quotes.

Now I need a “Spaceballs: The Money” duffel bag!

I figure the engine swap business has got to be booming right now.

Was it pre-spyware? I’ll pay extra for pre-spyware vehicles. I work in IT, so I value my privacy.
