The ongoing Docker drama left me wanting to control my Docker image hosting, so I went digging into the API traffic of 'docker pull'.

Turns out it's easy to use your own domain as the hostname for Docker images, all without having to self-host your own full registry: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/docker-image-registry-facade/

I argue we (#curl) should NOT pay docker. Not give in to extortion. This might mean that someone else soon suddenly will register our name and can serve whatever image they want there. 5 *billion* pulls indicate there's a user or two that might fall victim for this.

That's on docker, not us.

All these years later, I just can’t get comfortable with a computer platform where you can write code for it, but the vendor gets to say whether or not people can run your code.

I thought that was wrong the day it was announced and still do.

The money says I’m in a minority. I’m comfortable with that.

The Web remains the only platform without a proprietor. Treasure it.

I did something cool but untraditional knowing in the back of my mind that App Review might reject it.

And they did making my effort wasted and ensuring I don't try drawing outside the lines for a long time.

Nothing discourages thinking different like Apple App Review.

Wow, look at that, a JEP draft to finalize virtual threads for JDK21

Airing next week. Post your questions for him here!

I love that everyone has taken off their racism masks post-Trump.
The Wall Street Journal asks if SVB would still be around if the board was 12 white men instead of “diverse” ?

Not racist, just asking questions. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Exciting! Mastodon may soon see support for incoming rich text.

Which means that more formatting options will be seen in Mastodon.

> Apple had the resources needed to build a world-beating browser for many moons. The choice to ship a slower, less secure, less capable engine was precisely that: a choice.

This is by far the most astounding tech demo I’ve seen in a long time. Provides a totally different, amazing POV on how we should think about language/compiler/debugger/runtime/editor as an integrated whole.
