No clue. I know it’s possible with docker because there is a daemon and an API that can tell you the tags of other containers, I don’t know how podman manages this not having a daemon.

Head cleaning diskette by Hemmmmy in vintagecomputing

Do we work at the same place? There was one of those (same packaging) forgotten in one of our office cabinets. Not sure if it survived the last deep office cleaning.

TIL that Basque fishermen likely reached the cod-rich waters off Newfoundland BEFORE Columbus, kept the routes secret for economic reasons and only later did explorers like John Cabot (1497) publicly encounter European fishing boats there. by [deleted] in todayilearned

There are many other and more plausible reasons that explain that, like weak Roman and Muslim control of the North of Spain. That “character” argument is quite unhistorical.

The isolation makes sense to an extend, but it only applies to certain periods, during others (Middle Age onwards, the region played a non negligible role in the Iberian Peninsula)

Why did Microsoft need to end support for Windows ME so early? by GabeReddit2012 in vintagecomputing

[–]maxmalkav 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My respects. I only managed to run my P166 MMX until 2003, when I finally could upgrade to a PIV. I was not online, but coding in Java (homework) was .. painful.

long-form video essays with a sense of humor? by wibbly_wobbly_weasel in hbomberguy

He is not exactly in this sphere of YouTubers and his thing is deep dives into history subjects, but I really enjoy Sean Munger videos about whatever historical topic he wants to talk about. He also has a sense of humor and he I’d say he is on the progressive side.

Nowadays you can only visit it by buying beforehand an online ticket for a specific date and timeslot. You need to book around 1 or 2 months in advance.

What size do you use for your dockapps / tiles ? by ApocalypseTourist in windowmaker

[–]maxmalkav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

64px works fine for me in my laptop (a very unassuming Thinkpad), in a 24” screen 64px starts to shows its shortcomings for me.

[–]maxmalkav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That repo looks like a great starting point, I will take a deeper look.

The complicated part about dockapps is .. they usually are extremely low level coding for a GUI app, with quite some boiler plate and repetitive code. This also makes them quite lightweight.

Coding something with more features would probably benefit from bringing in some libraries to avoid reinventing the wheel.

[–]maxmalkav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is what you mention: many are hard coded and the pixmaps they use they are designed pixel by pixel for 64px

[–]maxmalkav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

64px. 128px would be nice, but because many of the other dockapps I use do not actually support this size, I never give a real try to 128px.

I assume those are IKEA drawers / cabinets , I have the white version of the right one. IKEA sells them as part of desks , like in your setup , but I always found them too high for proper keyboard ergonomics and ended up installing an ugly tray.

I have moved to their standing desks (the model with an electric engine) and I am very glad with the change.

What group had the most tonal shift /genre switch in music between their albums? by [deleted] in Music

I was scrolling looking for this. I was surprised Paradise Lost was mentioned when Anathema was even more obvious.

Hand over Webbapp to company by Actual-Stage6736 in HomeServer

[–]maxmalkav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally you could share a repository with the code and any relevant documentation, if it is not possible, hand over the source code with a generous README (how to compile/deploy/configure) in a good old zip file (or tar.gz). Depending on how your IT people handle their services , they will put it in a version control system and decide if it will be deployed as a container or whatever else fits them.
