Also highly relevant project: Cruller, also uses the pre-rewrite Bun codebase but focuses only on the runtime part for production.

Running systemd inside a container + automatic SELinux integration

Should we start shaming developers who don't use isolation?

I rely on podman for my "devcontainers": https://github.com/evertheylen/probox. If anyone can point me to the weak points in my setup I'd appreciate it!

If you're looking for a language that aims to solve the "two-language problem" like Mojo, but want something more open, more mature and less influenced by VC funding, check out Julia: https://julialang.org/

evertheylen — Mon, 04 May 2026 18:18:39 +0000

This is cool! But AFAIK bun promises to be a one-stop-shop for all your JS/TS dev needs, while Perry is "just" a compiler from Typescript to native executables.

Yes! But I'm assuming it will prevent me from upgrading to Postgres 19 in the future.

From what I can find Postgres 17 [1] introduced incremental backups to pg_basebackup, refined in 18, but nowhere near the full featureset of pgBackRest. Is that what you meant? Having builtin incremental replication to a S3-compatible storage would be great.

Ah, sad to read this. Does anyone know of good alternatives?

Lots of cool new ideas like:

- Async is first‑class

- Optimistic primitives (createOptimistic, createOptimisticStore)

- A more predictable scheduler

- And much more!

New comment by evertheylen in "Don't rent the cloud, own instead"

evertheylen — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 09:25:25 +0000

> Maintaining a data center is much more about solving real-world challenges. The cloud requires expertise in company-specific APIs and billing systems. A data center requires knowledge of Watts, bits, and FLOPs. I know which one I rather think about.

I find this to be applicable on a smaller scale too! I'd rather setup and debug a beefy Linux VPS via SSH than fiddle with various propietary cloud APIs/interfaces. Doesn't go as low-level as Watts, bits and FLOPs but I still consider knowledge about Linux more valuable than knowing which Azure knobs to turn.

evertheylen — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 17:23:18 +0000

Not really, I used it to develop against a "real" postgres database for a node backend app. It worked fine and made it pretty easy to spin up a development/CI environment anywhere you want. Only when inserting large amounts of data you start to notice it is slower than native postgres. I had to stop using it because we required the postgis extension (although there is some movement on that front!).

This is actually how GTFS (a standard format for public transit data) works: https://gtfs.org/documentation/schedule/reference/#stop_time... . Especially sleeper trains can get weird with 30+ hours. But I don't think it's wise to show that to the user

If you're on Linux, I've tried to build an easy yet secure way to isolate your system from your coding projects with containers. See https://github.com/evertheylen/probox

Interesting to see Marko and Solid topping the performance metrics. Ryan Carniato* was a core team member of Marko and started Solid. I wouldn't be surprised if SolidStart can eventually lower its bundle size further.

Great piece of software. For me its killer feature is automatically passing through exposed ports in a container, so you don't have to recreate the container with different -p options. (See https://evertheylen.eu/p/probox-intro/#network)

New comment by evertheylen in "Show HN: Devbox – Containers for better dev environments"

evertheylen — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 05:56:44 +0000

I always like to see new projects using containers. Two questions:

- how is your devbox.json file different from a Dockerfile/Containerfile?

- does your project attempt to provide any isolation security-wise?
