I have two words for you, “compensating controls.”

It’s like goddamn magic.

Virtualization in general? Sure, I can. I’ve tried it a bit with bhyve. But it’s definitely a lot heavier since I’m now running a full Linux os and dedicating resources to it to run docker just to run a python or node app.

Learning the project is in Go though is a sigh of relief. Professionally I’ve moved to Go (from Python) just because it’s so damn easy to build and distribute.

I just wish there was better support for the other *nix’s. While the language support them just fine, docker on the other hand strangles it. =(

For me it’s more like new interesting self hosted project and then find out it’s only distributed as a docker container without any proper packaging. As someone who runs FreeBSD, this is a frustration I’ve run into with quite a number of projects.

My gods. I think this just gave me flashbacks to this week.

I was recently battling node’s import/require shenanigans trying to figure out how to import a typescript module in my basic program. I feel this so hard.

I walked away utterly hating the language and its ecosystem. Utterly defeated, I gave up.
