<p>I switched a few years back and use Quadlets instead of compose now. Converting compose files to Quadlets is pretty mechanical once you get the hang of it.<p>Highly recommend Podman overall; there are some quirky edge cases, but for the most part it’s a smooth replacement for Docker.<p>If you don’t want to give up compose entirely, podman-compose exists. I just prefer Quadlets so I haven’t used it much myself.</p>

<p>Anecdotally we started exceeding the towing capacity of our Tacoma. As a result, in 2022 we purchased an F-150. In other words we bought the top selling vehicle because our hauling needs changed.</p>

<p>> but there was no way to bundle them together into one JS file you could include in your HTML and webpack takes a bit to setup<p>Maybe I am misunderstanding but this feels like it is provided via the `--bundle` flag in esbuild [1].<p>> It looks like esbuild doesn’t have websocket auto-reload magic so will need to refresh the web browser to see the recompiled changes.<p>I have also noticed that it does not seem to have the auto-reload part [2]. It does however have a server so that is at least something (e.g., `--servedir=dist`). Though that seems like a very new development.<p>[1] <a href="https://esbuild.github.io/getting-started/#your-first-bundle" rel="nofollow">https://esbuild.github.io/getting-started/#your-first-bundle</a>

<p>I think that is a valid concern. It is something that is being worked on [1] by the community. When those things get reasonably stable I think then it will be time to get those packages accepted by their respective distros.<p>Though as pointed out in SR-116 without ABI stability (which will not appear until Swift 3) packages do not necessarily provide a silver bullet of portability.<p>I for one have been maintaining a PKGBUILD script for Arch Linux that allows for a native package to be created. It's currently not working due to some issues with binutils [2].<p>[1] <a href="https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-116" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-116</a>

<p>Frontline has a great 2-part documentary on the NSA mass-surveillance program called "United States of Secrets" [1]. (It is available on Netflix)<p>One of the striking things I took away from that documentary was the rhetoric used to disuade would-be leakers, whistle-blowers, and media outlets that had learned about "the program". In almost every case they would be brought into the White House and briefed in an effort to convince them to keep their silence. The common refrain that was related by all the different parties was the White House (both administrations) would consistently tell the leakers: If you do this the blood will be on your hands for the next terrorist attack.<p>Sadly this sort of rhetoric really work(ed/s) on people.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/united-states-of-secrets/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/united-states-of-sec...</a></p>

<p>I have tried this script on my own account to see what it looks like when it succeeds and all of that. While it does appear to succeed and not be rate limited. The outcome is that the account will have been disabled as a result running the script. Even if it succeeded and found the password it would be no good to the attacker anymore.<p>> This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons. Visit iForgot to reset your account (<a href="https://iforgot.apple.com" rel="nofollow">https://iforgot.apple.com</a>).<p>I'm no security expert but that must reduce at least some of the vulnerability.<p>Though it seems like this could be weaponized to be a hassle. I only point this out because I have 2-factor auth and have locked my account and cannot seem to find my recovery key. /facepalm</p>
