Best practices for Docker in production

Great listen for anyone interested in productionizing python code with docker. Itamar brings up some
Don’t trust base images for security, upgrade your packages. Vulnerabilties become published and solved giving the bad guys istructions how to wreck your day and these fixes wont come to your docker application for up to two weeks due to image build tatency.
For job based containers pre-compile your pyc for faster startup.
Alpine linux is probably not what you want for python. Many packages such as postgres ship pre-copiled binaries that work for most linux distributions wich use glibc, but alpine uses musl so the binaries will be incompatable requiring you to need to install a bunch of build dependencies.

Homelabbers have been some of the best co-workers I have ever had. Typically have a get shit done, If there’s a way I will find it kind of mentality. If you are struggling to get a job in tech right now its tough. Starting a homelab on a pc you pull out of the trash is a good way to get some experience that you can talk about in interview questions.
Linked video has some great points!

podman requires qemu-system on
❯ podman machine init
Looking up Podman Machine image at quay.io/podman/machine-os:5.1 to create VM
Extracting compressed file: podman-machine-default-amd64.qcow2: done
Error: exec: "qemu-img": executable file not found in $PATH
The fix to this for me was to install qemu-system before podman machine init.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install qemu-system

Currently Posting is a super early postman like tui (terminal user interface). It looks so good. Darren is really getting into a groove, and textual is getting to a place that is allowing him to really make these beautiful.
I am so impressed with the progress that he has made so early, it looks so close to postman in the freaking terminal, and the ui is so good. He already has think like jump that give you a way to around the ui like easymotion plugins. Theres themes and a command line, oh man its so good. star it.

THIS! is the same reasons that I built thoughts [2]{.hoverlink}. Simon has bee a big inspiration along the way. He defintely changed the format of my posts as I watched him build out his quote posts.
Link blogging is a pleasantly low-pressure way of writing online. Found something interesting? Post a link to it, with a sentence or two about why it’s worth checking out.
Ditto! just make a post.

Kellan brings some interesting thoughts on where the internet is headed in 2024. Interestingly I see myself headed in a similar direction. Feeling like I know just enough to say fuck it and build my own platform for me to me me, from thoughts [2]{.hoverlink} where I link and make thoughts on posts like this, to reader [3]{.hoverlink} which is my rss reader replacement that I wanted in 2013 when it was killedbygoogle [4]
And particular with the collapse of the social spaces many of us grew up with, I feel called back to earlier forms of the Internet, like blogs, and in particular, starting a link blog.
Ai has really had quite the two sided effect since chatgpt launched and set the world ablaze. Suddenly you can get any answer you want as a custom fit blog post for free without effort, thus killing the traffic to any of these sites.

How to Configure DNS over TLS (DoT) Using Unbound DNS in OPNsense
Going beyond the basics of home networking
homenetworkguy.com [1]
Setting up DNS overTLS in opnsense has made my dns just a bit more secure and reliable. I recently had an outage of half the internet within my house. This also hit some of my friends and not some. It did not hit my mobile network. What seems to have happened is a dns issue with my isp not resolving some domains. This setup corrected my issue and I was back online more securely.
Note
I did try to setup the family resolver and found it was blocking some sites I am ok with. I decided to drop back to the vanilla resolver and let other services within opnsense control blocking where I can caontrol the whitelist myself.

GitHub - argoproj/argo-events: Event-driven Automation Framework for Kubernetes
Event-driven Automation Framework for Kubernetes. Contribute to argoproj/argo-events development by creating an account on GitHub.
GitHub · github.com [1]
Argo events is an event driven automation framework for kubernetes that can create kubernetes objects among other things based on events. I’ve been using native kubernetes cronjobs to kick off jobs based on a cron trigger.
For instance I am running reader.waylonwalker.com every hour, to rebuild the site and re-deploy it. It takes about two minutes to fetch every rss feed, so this is a nice application of a job compared to a web server fetching the feeds live. Now my posts may be up to an hour stale but they load fast.
Argo events takes event drien architecture to the next level allowing to be triggered by many more things, and do many more things than creating a cron job. I’m definitely thinking about dropping this in my homelab [2].

Today I am playing around with tailwind, flexing the css muscle and learning
how to build new and different layouts with it.
I created a new post template that mimics a terminal look in css where I could
inject the post title, description, and other frontmatter elements.
I think this is a pretty cool layout, I could make a
carbon.now.sh [1]{.hoverlink} clone or more realistically I could
make it into a template for blog pages and this could become og [2] images.

Ulauncher — Application launcher for Linux 🐧
Download Ulauncher for Linux, discover extensions and videos, and support the project.
ulauncher.io [1]
Just discovered this really cool launcher from the DHH distro omakub. github.com/omakub [2]{.hoverlink}.
Ulauncher comes out of the box looking good, supports extensions, and shortcuts like I have a lot of mac launchers have. I installed it plus a theme and in no time It was looking good and launching applications.
In the past I have leaned in on rofi for task launching, it is good. I just felt it was harder to configure to get right or look good.

This is DHH’s linux startup script. Call it a distro if you want, but he doesn’t. It’s made to take a vanilla ubuntu install and configure everything the way he likes it. There’s a number of great nuggets in here to pick up on.
No need to write bespoke configs for every essential tool just to get started or to be up on all the latest command-line tools. Omakub is an opinionated take on what Linux can be at its best.
Check it out and give it a ⭐ basecamp/omakub [1]{.hoverlink}.
