You know what, next device I can (host)name will be the Muse. :D

Indeed ;⁠)

I use concepts of games I like. Right now Alan Wake and Pacific Drive are the two of them.

• Main Laptop: Typewriter
• Steam deck: Poet
• NAS: The Lake
• Main Pc, that has become more a render station since I mostly work on a laptop and game on a steam deck: Lighthouse
• Hue Hub: Light switch
• Phone: Flashlight

But when I started to be more interested in networking and installed openwrt on my router, I was more infatuated by Pacific Drive:

• Router: Outer Containment Wall
• WiFi 5/2.4 Dual: ARDAnet
• WiFi for iot: RemnantNet
• GuestNet: OEZone
• VPN: BreacherNet
• Switch: SparkTower

DOGE for thee, but not for me.

And Lisa Simpson didn’t even run last time!

But you can still get a bunch of good ones on the second hand markets. Also, NUCs are still a thing. Intel deemed the formfactor mature enough too pull out themselves and leave it too the partners to develop further.

And maybe microplastics have the opposite effect. But this is just speculation, and afaik no sources support this.

Edit: I dunno why I got downvoted. Maybe I should be more specific that my claim, “maybe microplastics have the opposite effect”, has no support. I didn’t mean OP’s claim was unsupported.

I see we got a lizard person here

That is awesome. I prefer podman, despite what my list might suggest.

I work somewhere that doesn’t have licensing with Docker Inc. And I work on a Mac. With Docker desktop out of the picture, I got some experience with the alternatives. I know this post is about the native implementation and not the VM one, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents:

Alternatives run by me: Podman, Rancher Desktop, Finch

Results:

• Podman uses a lot more energy on idle than Finch and Rancher. On AVG 4 more Wats on an M1. (Normal idle is about 5W, so 9 almost doubles it cutting greatly in my battery life)
• Podman and Finch are not compatible with some tools that expect a full docker sock. In my case the AWS CDK and SAM CLI have issues. (Which is fun as Finch is also made by AWS)
• Finch does not offer a sock at all
• Finch requires you to recreate the full VM when updated.
• If you really want to have a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop, use Rancher Desktop. Rancher lacks in UI and the extension feature. But I never had issues with the sock, as I can run it with containerd.
• Finch has no UI
• Podman’s VM has clock drift if you put your machine in sleep. Only solution I found is to reboot the podman VM.
• Podman allows you to log in the VM with a command. I haven’t found a way on the others.
