News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Make your software experts use their software skills to host a mirror.
When will people pay their engineers to do actual engineering, instead of as a proxy for SaaS spending? Please, dear God, just hire one guy to run a mirror. Then, every time Docker et al turn the screws, we don't have to have these threads.
That's... depressing.
You can host OCI images anywhere. Unfortunately, this breaks all of the tutorials people use to develop software.
Crazy idea: stop using Docker.
Who knew that cramming 6 GB of Debian dependencies over the wire to run a Python script was a terrible idea? Who could have seen this coming? Maybe people wouldn't think bandwidth grows on trees if literally everyone in Silicon Valley hadn't developed software that way for the last 15 years.

But idk maybe Docker shouldn't have pulled a bait-and-switch, which is also classical known as a "dick move".
