Dockerfiles act as instructions for the docker (or compatible) CLI to use for building OCI container images. Images may or may not have layers and can be exported as a tarball for inspection (with tools like dive).

Nix provides native support for building container images, and the resulting archive must be loaded using docker load. There is another library (nix2container) that aims for better performance and relies on skopeo for copying the built image to a docker-compatible server, local or remote.

Just wanted to share a some of the information I’ve learned. Cheers!

I currently use NixOS and nix-darwin, and I’ve enjoyed the ride so far. I use flakes with direnv for reproducible development environments, and this has been working out well. I’ve also been impressed with using Nix to build OCI containers.

The learning curve isn’t flat, but the ecosystem is fantastic.

I almost feel bad that I haven’t. I’ve used their documentation for years but never installed the distro. Most recently I’ve been having fun with NixOS.

This is silly in our current voting system. Not voting in this election is equivalent to voting for Trump.

People on the right (e.g. evangelicals) often see voting as their responsibility and will vote for whomever they see as the lesser of two evils. Those of us on the left get too bourgeois about our candidates. Our failure to vote keeps moving the window right!

I’m not dying on this hill. I encourage you to vote and help us gain a little distance from the failed state, however small.

Democracy is always one vote away from death. Sometimes there are just a lot more folks voting for a dangerous candidate.

Don’t forget Trump’s threats. If you don’t vote now, you may not get another chance for a while.

Could say the same thing for Vance’s brain

I haven’t seen a single soul on here support genocide. I do see a lot of people encouraging you to not take the easy way out.

Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.

This is sealioning

Genocide isn’t on the ballet

Are you suggesting that poll numbers changed because some voters see Trump as more progressive than Harris?

Pragmatic isn’t a point on the left-right spectrum.

I’ve always been confused by VISAs that disallow application for permanent residence. This seems like a bad faith gesture on the government’s part. You’re setting folks up for failure because life happens.

What if we allow individuals to apply for residence regardless of VISA type and incentivize abandoning the opportunity by returning a security deposit of sorts?

Glad to see it! I’m tired of MAGA tarnishing terms that have traditionally held a positive connotation.

Civil War against who? Super PACs?

I think most people agree that was a harmful decision though.

I guess this just reinforces the problem with Citizens United. All that free speech is infringing on everyone’s free speech.
