> they will have an extremely hard time winning any election ever again

Heard that one before. We'll get a reprieve of 4-8 years and the vote will go to the fascists again. Take that to the bank.

A girl can dream.

Or there won't be another election. They keep telling us there won't be another election. Why aren't we more alarmed by that? Why are we assuming they are lying about that?

And if you never do reach completion, you can just garbage collect that chunk. AKA "Cheney on the MTA": https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/214448.214454

If your API includes inline assembly, then it's trivial. Go's internals would need it to swap stacks like it does. But I doubt any of that is exposed at the language level.

> or be 800 pixels tall because it was built only out of decorative combining characters

Also known as Zalgo. But it seems most renderers nowadays overlay multiple combining marks over each other rather than stack them, which makes it look far less eldritch than it used to.

I build containers for multiple platforms using orbstack, and that requires the containerd backend. So yes, it's in there somewhere.

Huh. Are you actually talking to containerd directly or are you just doing something via the docker frontend that requires containerd to function?

Presumably it's talking to the docker daemon which itself farms some piece out to containerd? I'm really not sure how the integration works.

OrbStack is a very compelling alternative on macOS. The GUI launches instantly due to being a Swift app and not Electron. Container filesystems are visible in Finder. You can spin up full-blown VMs with it (only Linux ones though). Storage is managed dynamically, so you don't have to reserve or resize the virtual disk. Free for personal use, with zero nags or upsells.

Does anyone know if the company is still active. Haven't seen any updates for a while now. I like the product a lot, but products like this need security updates at the very least.

Last release was November 2025 which isn't that terribly long ago. https://docs.orbstack.dev/release-notes. They do look to have stopped blogging on orbstack.dev for more than a year now. They have a discord channel, but I'm not up for dealing with discord to check on it.

I can attest, Orbstack has been a gamechanger. Happily paying for the pro license.

How are you deploying? I’m on dokploy so I’m not sure of compatibility

I use good old `docker compose`. It's 100% compatible, since it uses the same moby engine underneath. I've also run k3d on it, so I'm pretty sure it'll handle anything you throw at it.

Orb is definitely the winner. It’s fast. It does the job well. Never had an issue with it in two years.

Amazon better watch their step or they might get fined a single-digit percentage of the profits they made off this scheme. That'll show 'em.

For the first half of the 90's I pronounced Linux as "LINE-nucks". Then while he still had a thick accent, Linus told us all how he pronounced it "LEE-nooks".

> Since all packages are treated the same on Linux

This is no longer the case in "immutable" distros such as Bluefin/Aurora, which uses ostree for the "base" distro, while most other user packages are installed with homebrew. Nix and Guix solve it in a very different way. Then there's flatpak and snap.

A lot of poor *BSD advocacy likes to deride Linux for its diversity one moment, then switch to treating it as a monolith when it's convenient. It's a minority of the users for sure, but they naturally make an outsized share of the noise.

That was both depressing and uplifting at the same time. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
