[09:33] schestowitzOf course one can always use the terminal app directly on the phone. It gives full access to the system via devel-su, just as via SSH.

[09:34] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.dedoimedo.com | Docker Desktop - Friendly frontend for container management [09:34] schestowitz[09:34] schestowitzI like intuitive software solutions. Y'know, products that are so easy to use you don't really need a manual, and if you do have to consult the documentation, then you will definitely find the answers you're looking for. In my experience, Docker stuff definitely qualifies in this domain.
[09:34] schestowitzRecently, I came across a new Docker thing - Docker Desktop.

Well, sounds quite interesting, so let's see what gives.

[09:44] schestowitz[09:44] schestowitzHP has started accepting pre-orders for the HP Dev One, a new laptop primarily aimed at development work. It appears to be a slightly-customized version of the HP EliteBook 845 G8, with an 8-core/16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U processor, a 14-inch LED screen (without touch), a glass touchpad, a 1TB NVMe SSD for storage, 16GB RAM, and a 720p camera. That amount of RAM might be too little for some [09:44] schestowitz development work, but System76 confirmed that the SSD, Wi-Fi card, and RAM can be easily replaced or upgraded.

Joachim Breitner resigned in the same week that Jonathan Carter sent a big bundle of libel to WIPO. A new blog appeared last week about Chris Lamb's proximity to the Albanian problems. Only a few days after that blog and we see fifteen more people resigned on Monday, 7 [10:06] schestowitz June.
