  • i3 is configured to use the program dmenu by default. A common replacement for that is rofi. I use wofi on sway. Rofi has more features, wofi is pretty simple but you can customize with css.

    Sway will read the i3 config you already have if you put it in the sway config folder. Then just download dmenu if you want that same behavior. Some things like mod+enter is binded to i3-sensible-terminal, so if you don’t have i3 installed on the box it won’t find a terminal to open. The fix is to change the binding to your preferred terminal emulator.

    All in all the transition is pretty painless.


  • We did it at a wildlife rehab center I worked at. If we bought local we would clean out the local bug supply in a couple days. Which happened a couple times when we couldn’t get them online or a package got lost.

    Not that I think that’s what this is. The packaging could be better, but also you order a box of crickets you get a box of crickets…















  • Just to offer the other perspective. I started with podman years ago. I knew very little about containers and I would say it made the learbing curve a lot steeper. Most guides and README’s use docker and when things didnt work I had to figure out if it was networking, selinux, rootless, not having the docker daemon, etc… without understanding fully what those things were because I didn’t know docker. But when I started running stuff on kubernetes, it was really easy. Pods in podman are isomorphic to kubernetes pods. I think the pain was worth it, but it was definitely not easy at the time. Documentation, guides, and networking have improved since then, so it may not be as big of a deal now


  • Quadlets with podman have completely replaced compose files for me. I use the kuberentes configs. Then I run a tailscale container in the pod and BAM, all of my computers can access that service without have to expose any ports.

    Then I have an ansible playbook to log in to the host and start a detached tmux session so my user systemd services keep running. Its all rootless, and just so dang easy.
