aiui "distrobox" is built to support these setups and experimentation, even more readily, including defaults to support:
> The created container will be tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the HOME directory of the user, external storage, external USB devices and graphical apps (X11/Wayland), and audio.
> Why * Provide a mutable environment on an immutable OS, like ChromeOS, Fedora Silverblue, OpenSUSE Aeon/Kalpa, or SteamOS3 ... * Provide a locally privileged environment for sudoless setups (eg. company-provided laptops, security reasons, etc…) * To mix and match a stable base system (eg. Debian Stable, Ubuntu LTS, RedHat) with a bleeding-edge environment for development or gaming (eg. Arch, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, or Fedora with the latest Mesa) * Leverage a high abundance of curated distro images for docker/podman to manage multiple environments.
> Aims This project aims to bring any distro userland to any other distro supporting podman, docker, or lilipod. It has been written in POSIX shell to be as portable as possible and it does not have problems with dependencies and glibc version’s compatibility.
> It also aims to enter the container as fast as possible, every millisecond adds up if you use the container as your default environment for your terminal:
> Security implications Isolation and sandboxing are not the main aims of the project, on the contrary it aims to tightly integrate the container with the host. The container will have complete access to your home, pen drive, and so on, so do not expect it to be highly sandboxed like a plain docker/podman container or a Flatpak.

It needs to resolve faster if more people vote, based on a running average of voters, or sqrt of viewers present.
I first responded before your edit about ssh and localhost, so: yeah, as briefly mentioned in the article, as of today there's no shortcut even for localhost. I was debating whether I should implement this feature before open sourcing it, but I had to draw the line somewhere (I have TONS of ideas what could be implemented), and since reading local logs isn't the primary focus of nerdlog, I decided to skip it for now.
But yes the bypass for localhost can definitely be implemented.
Yeah, I'm bouncing for now on the localhost requirement. Or, on a related issue of not parsing my .ssh/config, a Match directive, and not wanting it to parse it yet. I grep'ed for an env var to override, but only USER and SSH_AUTH_SOCK are pulled in.
I did go get install ...nerdlog/cmd/nerdlog-tui@latest just fine.
Thanks for hacking in the open, and releasing early.
I'm not seeing any icons (on ios, tried a few browsers). Is the font (or svgs? Not at a computer to check how it's built) being served?
Hi again. I have the same issue in my browser, and locally in nvim.
NerdFonts (and the right terminal emulator) were needed, and enough, there. Playing with AstroNvim, and blocked by use of yakuake.
Hoping that I can hot load something from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads, I'm not sure what from https://fonts.google.com/ has the needed ligatures or symbols.

Excellent descriptive analysis. Wrong, misleading title, perhaps "technically correct," but at best with a "backdoored" meaning.
It points out the need and use for build-manager tools that go a step beyond union file system layers, but track then enforce that e.g. tests cannot pollute build artifacts. Take a causal trace graph of files affecting files, in the build process, make that trace graph explicit, and then build a way to enforce that graph, or report on deviations from previous trace graphs.

Can we update the title with the project name, adminer?
I've gently relied on this tool, it's basically delightful to use. Simple to deploy, doesn't fight the protocol and software stack it can be deployed alongside for securing, using. A shining, straightforward FOSS success.

Congratulations on migrating to a new domain -- hope Vercel serves you well. A little disappointing about the lack of easy redirecting so far.

Well, simple guesses at migration don't help either.

Good luck with the personal blogging infrastructure, hobby horse of many a working developer. Good excuse to play with new systems.

The back button supplied by the OS is perfectly capable of this (at least on Android I have witnessed this)
