  • Mostly out of curiosity, what exactly makes Biden an evil in your mind? If it’s the middle east what, exactly do you want him to do? The President doesn’t possess the power to unilaterally declare war, all be can really do us shout at Israel to stop and strongly encourage Congress to do… Well anything at all.

    What would make Biden a real evil, at least in my mind is if we had a functional legislative branch and he was vetoing every piece of aid they passed to those countries, or if he was overreaching with his executive orders to do things that blatantly belong to another branch of our government. Guess what Trump would do.

    The only time the President really has much power is if they have a Congress that’s aligned with their goals, and in the current cycle everything Biden has tried to do has been shot down by one of the other two braches. I suspect though, that if Congress passed an aid package to Ukraine or Palestine, Biden would not obstruct.

    If it’s because Bernie got shafted by the DNC and now we have Biden, I personally think given how our government works, Bernie can do way more good in the Senate than he could ever do as a president, and we need to load Congress up with as many people who idealistically align with him or at least, don’t conflict and are willing to actually run our government.


  • Yeah, a lot of the in the Americas it’s not the fact that we’d rather be in a car it’s that our public transit options are just so non-competitive with driving by design that it makes no sense to ever use them from a time perspective if you can afford not to.

    If you live somewhere like the Bay area where you’ve got the BART or Chicago with the L, you can 100% use public transit as your daily driver because it’s actually faster then driving in most cases and you can read or do work while doing so… sadly this is not the case in most places. Takes me 15 minutes to drive into downtown, if I took the bus it would take me 2 and a half hours.


  • Kubernetes uses cri-o nowadays. If you’re using kubernetes with the intent of exposing your docker sockets to your workloads, that’s just asking for all sorts of fun, hard to debug trouble. It’s best to not tie yourself to your k8s clusters underlying implementation, you just get a lot more portability since most cloud providers won’t even let you do that if you’re managed.

    If you want something more akin to how kubernetes does it, there’s always nerdctl on top of the containerd interface. However nerdctl isn’t really intended to be used as anything other than a debug tool for the containerd maintainers.

    Not to mention podman can just launch kubernetes workloads locally a.la. docker compose now.
