Yeah I could run them as regular systemd daemons themselves, but I would lose the easy isolation between different services and main OS. Feels easier to limit what the services have access to in the host OS by running them in containers.

I do run the containers as systemd user services however, so everything starts-up at boot, etc

What is your opinion on podman rootless containers? In my mind running rootless containers as differe OS users for each application I'm hosting was an easy way of improving security and making sure each of those services could only mess with their own resources. Are there any known issues with that? Do you have experience with Podman? Would love to hear your thoughts

Practical Engineering on youtube has some good videos on the electrical grid. This one in particular is a good explanation on what they had to go through to get power back on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOSnQM1Zu4w

For what is worth, my partner and I just had a good laugh playing this with four hands and pushing it over 25. Really fun fidget, thanks for sharing!

Fun! I've been implenting my own to toy around and learn some rust, and has been a very enjoyable journey, specially the debugging part, running test roms, and trying to get all the "bugs" implemented correctly
