When you need advanced features, it’s not cheap. Still, I’m glad it’s a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Also, Family Sharing is supported.

The official WireGuard UI for Apple platforms is essentially unmaintained. I just discovered Passepartout, a modern VPN client for Apple platforms with support for OpenVPN and WireGuard.

The best thing is: there’s Split DNS in the current beta! Now I can send requests for my local domain through the tunnel and use another DNS server for everything else. I really don’t want to lose mobile connectivity just because my landline is down.

Running Podman  in production for years now, and I don't miss the Docker daemon one bit.

I just published a deep dive on managing OCI containers the Unix way: daemonless, rootless, and natively integrated with systemd via Quadlets.

I cover:
- Real secrets management
- Auto-updates via systemd timers
- The Docker compatibility layer

This is the guide I wish I had when making the switch.

Podman in Production: Quadlets, Secrets, Auto-Updates, and Docker Compatibility

An opinionated production-ops guide to Podman on Linux servers - why I prefer it over Docker, how Quadlets replace Compose files, and practical patterns from real deployments including secrets mana...

@kaiserkiwi Ich habe diese Nachricht bekommen. Das Bild sieht auch nach KI aus.

@aaronk6 Music Assistant is the one Add-On I don't update when I have no time to test everything.

Too many times I had to debug it when my child had bedtime and no music played out of the sudden.

@peter At first glance, it doesn’t.
