From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cool blogs. Thanks for the write ups, especially on your self host setup. I still only understand half of the tools and packages but a solid book mark source none the less.
Out of curiosity, why the open source focus but still the preference for Docker over podman? I'm not criticising actively/passively. I'm curious when I see the mix of tools and priorities, then some anomaly like this. To me it means you are coming from a different angle and background than myself. Your use of tools I don't fully grasp makes that angle a curiosity.
Why hasn't the open source community fully conquered the self hosting chain to issue certificates and our own domains on some obscure branch or legal loophole that prevents someone else from interfering? Surely there is some obscure place that one could setup a chain of trust to issue all the needed credentials and DNS. Who cares if the commercial world plays along, just ship the certificate authority with all open source distros and let everyone else figure it out or not. I really don't care if the Windows/Apple/Google world can find or interact with me. I might even spin that as a feature. We should have federated DNS and Certificate authorities right? What about something like crypto where these fundamental aspects of domain hosting are a distributed part of hosting and participating in the scheme. That's been on my mind for awhile, but your blog post surfaced the idea here... sry
Stop trying to inject blockchains into everything, fuck.
Lol way to get triggered by a single word in a well written, comprehensive response and have a tantrum.
