What are the benefits of using podman over docker desktop? I've just got my new M1 macbook and are tempting to try docker desktop alternatives..

Hosted k8s is a blessing for development teams. A great benefit is that integrating k8s into tools such as Github or Gitlab pipelines makes it a unified and easy deployment cycle. No more issues regarding different release procedures while someone is out of office.

Compliance and web3 arrived.

A lot of companies didn't even need to go the hadoop route. CSVs, jupyter notebooks and SQL databases are very powerful tools for most companies.

Anyone has information about the details of Smart Block 3.0? The "learn more" URL returns a 404.

It's really sad to see the current state of bitcoin. We can't really justify the current energy consumption while mainly being used as a financial instrument to speculate on.

Nano has been on my eye for a while now. I hope Nano will get the attention it deserves. Sub second feeless money settlement transactions is such a game changer. Nano just works.

Yeah, that's what bitcoin should have been. Too bad it also consumes an insane amount of energy and isn't able to process a lot of transactions per second. Hope that a good cryptocurrency gets more traction and will be the next decentralized "paypal / digital currency".

Insane. Good to know what made my Spotify app crash upon startup though.

Kinda in the phase of buying disks for a $500-ish~ raid 5 NAS setup. The whole recent SMR debacle keeps me a bit careful on buying those disks before extensively checking out all the specs.

Will news like this cause retail price drops anytime soon? Other advice is welcome too :-)

Bought a 3d printer(Creality Ender 3, sub 200USD). Being able to print nice prints takes a lot of time and you'll learn a lot during the process.

After being able to print I tried drawing. Both blender and fusion 360. Blender for organic objects and fusion 360 for practical engineering objects.

It's a really fantastic hobby and you'll be able to produce a lot of physical objects instead of only writing software.

Based on Chinese data. I very much doubt the accuracy of Chinese data.

Hetzner is solid from a perf / price perspective. Mind that the network peering outside Europe is not that great. So could be a very good choice depending on your user base' location.

I always tend to have enough food at home that would last me two weeks easily. I would fill my bathtub in case things start to get more serious. That should be enough drinking water for some time.

> I'm an early adopter of 4k60. If you write code and you're not on 4k, you don't know what you're missing. 4k is great.

4K adds a lot of screen-estate. Having a "normal" 27" 4k screen, I recently worked on a ultra-wide curved screen. It blew me away. I can so much recommend curved screens over regular 4k screens. All you applications can fit next to each other on eye height.

The only thing is that we have the crawl US airlines and support an additional currency(USD). So yes, there is no reason why this shouldn't work for North and South America. Do you think there is a market for this in America?
