As it's now Sept, the month agreed [reluctantly] by dad earlier this year for the penguinisation of his win10 pooter, i'm trying to steel myself for The Big Day [or week?]. All along, one of the several complications of this project has been the need for dad to keep using some of his fav legacy windoze pgms. Try as i might, i could not find Linux substitutes for them, nor use them via Wine, nor find online equivalents. Thus i plan, once the penguinisation itself is done, as part of all the subsequent tweaking & finessing, to create a win10 VM, in which will be his "special" pgms .. all offline ofc.

However, in the past week i stumbled across a possibility i'd not considered, & about which i know almost nothing. #Containerisation, one type of which is something called #Docker, which i've heard of vaguely for years but never investigated as i assumed it was a higher level thing for Devs & Sys Admins, not a clueless plonker, apparently in recent years gained an ability to run windoze in linux, not only linux in linux & linux in windoze, as in its earlier years.

So now i'm scrabbling to try & research/learn about this, re if it is viable, & might be a better alternative to the VM i'd intended. One thing i've just read is

https://ops4devs.info/container-technologies/docker-windows-on-linux-running-windows-containers-seamlessly/

OMZ what garbage! I found it nearly incomprehensible, all sizzle & no sausage, chock a block full of management-consultant buzzwords, but entirely lacking in ANY guidance about HOW to bloody well DO it. Also, it was discombobulating how often it jumped between windoze & linux as its host systems... tis supposed to be about windoze dockers on linux, so wtf does it keep referring to docker on windoze? Is it nothing but AI slop?

#introduction

Hey there, I’m 0hlov3! 🎮👨‍💻 Just your friendly neighborhood gaming and tech nerd, trying to make life as comfy as my setup allows. I split my days between EndeavourOS and macOS, while nerding out over cool tech and sharing my random hobbies.

Yes, I’ve written intros before—because apparently, I have a knack for switching Fediverse instances like people change phone cases. 😅 This time, though, I promise: last move, cross my heart (unless I find a shinier domain... but let’s not go there).

Why am I here? Just chasing good vibes, tech chatter, and interesting conversations. Hope you’re all doing amazing! 🚀

Let’s connect and share some cool stuff! 😎

In order to reap the benefits of #containerisation for security-relevant technology, the team of #DAASI_International is looking into containerising #Shibboleth. You can read more about why this is important and what the potential benefits are in our latest blog post: https://daasi.de/en/2023/05/25/benefits-containerisation/

@neil #Linux on those and the world's your oyster! Slap on your #containerisation of choice too.

J'ai la chance de co-animer " #jenkins AMA: infra, plateformes, #containerisation, #mobile et #embarqué" (BOF (Bird of a Feather))." au Devoxx France avec Hervé Le Meur lors du Meet & Greet.
