  • iirc Windows Defender does a decent job. However, if you are a JavaScript developer, try to add node_modules to the exceptions, unless you don't care much about the performance hit.

    I personally have stopped running antivirus on Windows a couple years ago. Since I run most, if not all, untrusted software in VMs, I didn't see the point of wasting performance. On the host, I only run Firefox and Steam/Epic games.

    I then moved to Linux and I have 2 GPUs; one for the host and one for VMs with games. But that's probably a different story.

  • Many will be triggered
  • I tried using Debian 12 instead of Arch. I ended up installing my apps with the Nix package manager. Debian provides Firefox ESR and an old version of NeoVim. I didn't want to add more repositories to apt, as I have had some bad experiences in the past with conflicts in backports packages.

  • Biggest Lie
  • Java has multiplayer as well, and not all servers allow cracked Minecraft. There are "online" servers (that require you to buy the game) and "offline" servers (that allow everyone).

  • Snap bad
  • I don't agree that it made any sense to do that. If they wanted to containerize apps, there has been an open source solution to that for years; Flatpak.

    ain't nobody got time for that

    As an app maintainer, that wants to support Ubuntu, why would I prefer to deploy a snap server, instead of publishing deb files, or creating a Flatpak?

  • Docker Raises Prices Up to 80 Percent | ServeTheHome
  • I am trying to understand.

    Docker, which uses OCI containers that are supported by Docker, Podman, Containerd, systemd-nspawn, etc, is lock-in.

    But Nix Shells, which require Nix, are not lock-in.

    Also, how are you going to run Nix shells in VLANs? They run on the host's network namespace.

  • Docker Raises Prices Up to 80 Percent | ServeTheHome
  • Docker is not only about dependency management. It also offers service "composing", via docker compose, and network isolation for each service.

    Although I personally love Nix, and I run NixOS on some of my servers, I do not believe it can replace Docker/Podman. Unless you go the NixOS Containers route.
