I finally built a ship capable of getting to Aquilo but even then I'm considering redesigning it a bit and scaling up even more. At first I didn't realize how important overall width was compared to weight.
If we're talking Two Towers I want to save the f-bomb for when Aragorn tosses Gimli at Helms Deep. Gimli just roars "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!" as he flies through the air.
My wife has one of these. I'll round the corner to find her curled up in a big mound of blankets with our cat and dog, face illuminated by the e-reader floating in front of her face.
This sounds really cool. I already suffered a surprise brownout on Vulcanus (which came at an inopportune time) and I've been meaning to set up something before it happens again.
I learned how to build an alarm for the first time on Gleba so that I get a notification when my primary nutrient belt drops below a certain threshold. Now a terrifying klaxon warns me that Gleba is about to enter a catastrophic death spiral so I have time to fix it.
If you're not planning to use COSMIC once it releases you might consider switching distros in the long run to something else. Maybe Kubuntu?
Otherwise it seems like the big effort to deliver COSMIC should be a one-time thing and I assume Pop will resume a more normal release schedule once that move is done, so you shouldn't have to wait so long the next time around.
Mostly infrastructure as code with folks installing software natively on their windows host (terraform, ansible, powershell modules, but we also do some NPM stuff too). I'm trying to get people used to running a container instead of installing things on their host so I don't have to chase people down when they run commands using the wrong version or something.
I've been really trying to push for more usage of dev containers at my org. I deal with so much hassle helping people install dependencies and deal with bizarre environment issues. And then doing it all over again every time there is turnover or someone gets a new laptop. We're an Ops team though so it's a real struggle to add the additional complexity of running and troubleshooting containers on top of mostly new dev concepts anyway.
To deploy a docker container to a Windows host you first need to install a Linux virtual machine (via WSL which is using Hyper-V under the hood).
It's basically the same process for FreeBSD (minus the optimizations), right?
Containers still need to match the host OS/architecture they are just sandboxed and layer in their own dependencies separate from the host.
But yeah you can't run them directly. Same for Windows except I guess there are actual windows docker containers that don't require WSL but if people actually use those it'd be news to me.
Every other game storefront has been like "But Valve doesn't even do anything! We'll cut them out and then we'll make so much more money!" And then they force you over to their own garbage storefront that has none of the features of Steam, has a smaller selection of games and demands equal space in your system tray at all times.
It's kind of wild how much Microsoft failed to capitalize on PC gaming over the last 20 years. Arguably PC Gaming has thrived in spite of them, not because of them.
Valve was smart to understand how Microsoft could threaten their business model but it barely mattered considering how many rakes Microsoft stepped on over the years. Don't even get me started on Games For Windows Live.
I learned to write scripts on Windows Powershell and got spoiled by everything being an object so when I started writing bash scripts I think 90% of the work is trying to parse the raw text output of commands with things like awk or sed.

How narrow is narrow for your builds?
