• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quadlet: Running Podman containers under systemd⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quadlet is such a nice tool. I never liked docker as a process supervisor because it was way inferior to systemd, which is why I was leaning towards podman anyway. Quadlet finally provides a sensible declarative configuration alternative to docker-compose, which integrates so well with systemd. Combined with Ansible, Quadlet is a nice alternative to NixOS. Can’t wait for the latest version with .pod files to land in Alma’s repos.

  For those interested in an example, slrpnk.net also uses quadlet for its deployment, see here.

  Here you go!

  How Standards Proliferate (See: A/C chargers, character encodings, instant messaging, etc.) Situation: There are 14 competing standards. Cueball: 14?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use cases. Ponytail: Yeah! Soon: Situation: There are 15 competing standards.

  ^This. Nostalgia often fools people.

  Interestingly, the fall of Soviet communism is perceived (significantly) more positively in most Eastern European countries [1].

  While I do not deny the influence of economic inequality and capitalism or the other factors mentioned in the article, my experience with Russians shows that nationalist/imperialist beliefs and the desire to be a superpower carry more weight when it comes to regretting the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

  I guess one could argue if signing up to see the source code makes it open source or not. But besides that Unreal Engine is a great example that open source software is not necessarily free software (as defined by FSF).

  Full source code is also available at https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine but they require you to link a Epic Games account with a Github account and agree to their EULA to access it. See this and this document for the full procedure.
