  • These other responses are annoying. This looks really cool, and I hope that it works well for you and your friends! We definitely need good discord alternatives ASAP, and more options are better imo.

    One cool feature would be some sort of official support for interop/bridging to other services. That might help to boost adoption and would make the “why not just contribute to Y” people be quiet.











  • Do you have any sources for the 10x memory thing? I’ve seen people who have made memory usage claims, but I haven’t seen benchmarks demonstrating this.

    EDIT: glibc-based images wouldn’t be using service managers either. PID 1 is your application.

    EDIT: In response to this:

    There’s a reason a huge portion of docker images are alpine-based.

    After months of research, my company pushed thousands and thousands of containers away from alpine for operational and performance reasons. You can get small images using glibc-based distros. Just look at chainguard if you want an example. We saved money (many many dollars a month) and had fewer tickets once we finished banning alpine containers. I haven’t seen a compelling reason to switch back, and I just don’t see much to recommend Alpine outside of embedded systems where disk space is actually a problem. I’m not going to tell you that you’re wrong for using it, but my experience has basically been a series of events telling me to avoid it. Also, I fucking hate the person that decided it wasn’t going to do search domains properly or DNS over TCP.
