Well, I think he finished off some Apricot Brandy before he took the podium. That must count for something.

By the way, I love what you did with the Bremerton poetry box!

I am retraining to become a Product Manager after over 25 years as a Software Engineer. I worked at major labels (including Sub Pop’s parent label) and independent labels and would love to get back into the music industry. I started my career working on the first music subscription service.

I never officially worked with K, but I became friendly with Sarah, Mariella and Calvin over the years. I did early contract work at Sub Pop in 1999-2002 when Dietrich was webmaster. I don’t remember exactly how we met, but we became Facebook friends and bonded over music and technology.

No worries, always happy to help!

Fugazi’s Cashout, among others, is true now more than ever.

You can also use archive.is.

I started as a software engineer writing Perl in 1997. The ecosystem of modules was great for the time. I built an AIM chat bot with the Eliza Perl module, among other things. Python's ecosystem is lightyears ahead from my beginnings with Perl and Django is a great batteries included framework.

Sorry, that gist is old. Peep this article. razorops.com/blog/top-10-...

If your code is in a private repository, which I imagine it is, you want a private Docker image. Google Container Registry has been very reasonable for me personally, but go with a registry you feel comfortable with.
Top 10 FREE Container Registery Services
Docker Hub offers unlimited public repositories and one private repository in its free plan. It includes 1 GB of storage and 100 GB of data transfer.

Digital Ocean has a private Docker registry you have to pay for. I sent you a list of private Docker registries with free tiers in my other post. I haven't used fly.io either, but I'm sure it has a Docker registry setting similar to the other platform you mentioned in your last post.

Interesting, I've never heard of that before. Looks like there is a setting to choose from an existing Docker registry, they don't provide one. kamal-deploy.org/docs/configu...

Agreed, but you don't have to host your image on DockerHub. Many platforms host your private image once you base your docker image off an existing public image. That's the case with Google App Engine, Google Cloud Run and (I think) AWS Fargate. Zack, what platform(s) are you deploying your app?

If you are referencing the US, there has been a plan in place by the executive branch to usurp power from the legislative and judicial branches called Project 2025 and there are several executive orders and firings (followed by hirings of loyalists) as of late that have brought it to life.
February 23, 2025 at 4:46 AM
What platform is your app running on mainly? Python, Ruby, Node, Go, etc?
February 23, 2025 at 4:41 AM
Quite possibly. For example, I have a few apps running on Google App Engine. My Dockerfile starts with FROM gcr.io/google-appengine/python, followed by a series of RUN (apt-get|curl|bash|pip), ENV and ADD declarations to install dependencies, setup env and add source before WORKDIR, CMD and EXPOSE.
February 23, 2025 at 4:41 AM
I usually use an existing public Docker image and add RUN apt-get / yum / curl / bash directives in Dockerfile to install the dependencies that are needed for the app.
