I need to quench my thirst for knowledge and learn something new just for the sake of it.

I've already learned:

  • Equations and pivot tables in Excel

  • Vector graphics in Inkscape

  • Music mixing in rekordbox

  • Personal VPN on a raspberry pi 4 with OpenVPN

  • LAMP stack web hosting

  • Streaming & video capture with OBS

  • Manual & automatic backups with FreeFileSync

Things I'm open to:

  • FOSS (even beta) or free-as-in-beer software

  • A high or low learning curve

  • Tools for niche fields that I'd otherwise have no reason to learn

True, but I personally don't see the point in adding a bunch of new packages to a system to make it work the way another system does when the migration process is minimal.

Using podman compose, I've migrated multiple docker compose to rootless with basically no required refactoring until I made it a quadlet so it would always just run.

Yeah I also switched all my docker containers to podman as well. I wasn't making any point for using either above the other

I know, but I AM making a point to use podman over docker because it's rootless by default and requires less work/admin overhead to implement and maintain.

It's all well and good that docker can run rootless with a good amount of tweaking and configuration, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze IMO. I pulled the pin on that once I realized podman was the much better option.

I've never understood why Docker doesn't work like that by default.

[–] Lemmert@reddthat.com 1 points 7 hours ago

Docker was initially only rootful. So I'm assuming for compatibility's sake they kept the default that way?
