That should possibly be something that is added directly to the licenses, you can take my product free of charge, but if you want changes you have to pay me at this rate. Put contact details and an expiry date on the deal so people can&#x27

But its a fun thing to do, and that's a good enough reason to do it. After all is that not exactly how Linux came into being anyway.

I use kind with podman running rootless, it only works on systems with cgroup2 enabled. But it's very cool. Conventional k8s with docker has a number of security gotchas that stem from it effectivly running the containers as root. Wit

yep each transputer had 4 serial links, which could be connected in matrixes, and allow data to be moved across the array directly. They used a language called OCCAM, and there was an OS called TAOS that allowed you to run various transpute

Do you know if docker and minikube work inside wsl2? I loaned my only windows machine to a colleague and won't get it back for a week or two, otherwise I would check it out myself.

Does it have an rc.local equiv that you can script those service starts into. Something like the docker entry-point would also work.

I must admit while this cool, what I really want is a standard dirtcheap 8 to 10 inch Android tablet with a hackable OS and a row of gpio pins on it like the raspberry pi. $50 will get you a lot of power and convience today as these things
