  • From NPR’s article:

    “At this time, our movement 1) cannot endorse > Vice President Harris; 2) opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing; and 3) is not recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our country’s broken electoral college system,”

    I’m glad to see they’re not advocating for Trump or a third-party candidate that would help him win the election.


  • Dockerfiles act as instructions for the docker (or compatible) CLI to use for building OCI container images. Images may or may not have layers and can be exported as a tarball for inspection (with tools like dive).

    Nix provides native support for building container images, and the resulting archive must be loaded using docker load. There is another library (nix2container) that aims for better performance and relies on skopeo for copying the built image to a docker-compatible server, local or remote.

    Just wanted to share a some of the information I’ve learned. Cheers!


  • I currently use NixOS and nix-darwin, and I’ve enjoyed the ride so far. I use flakes with direnv for reproducible development environments, and this has been working out well. I’ve also been impressed with using Nix to build OCI containers.

    The learning curve isn’t flat, but the ecosystem is fantastic.
