Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- OpenRC is a dependency-based init system for Unix-like systems

are there any good reasons for me to avoid systemd
A (rare) good critique to systemd can be found here. Written by the developer behind s6, which happens to be scheduled to replace OpenRC on Alpine Linux. For completeness-sake, some of the main reasons why Alpine doesn't prefer systemd do not apply on most other distros.

A discussion about the Ultimate Linux Desktop
It got mass-adopted while being imperfect, so that's to be expected. Thankfully its inception and the criticism that followed have paved the way for the likes of dinit and s6.

Which do you use systemd or openrc? Why do you use what you use?

init software: What's the difference?
Of the two I have experience with, runit is simpler and thus easier to get the hang of than s6-rc/s6. Though the s6 (not s6-rc) docs at the author's site contain a lot of info (including apologetics and rationales) that applies almost equally well to runit
-
What do you guys think about this?
systemd: Yes; it's awaiting its "PipeWire". Thankfully, the likes of s6 and dinit are very promising. Though I can actually appreciate that systemd is addressed. As ultimately it helps in raising awareness that will benefit whatever software will replace it eventually.

The (GNU/)Linux rabbit hole has been a negative influence on my mental state
Arguably this is less troublesome to solve compared to the other concerns. As we're inevitably waiting for the system supervision suite that will be to systemd what PipeWire has been to PulseAudio. I'm very optimistic about this as both s6 and Dinit are shaping up lovely.

Trouble with s6 services
Using the s6-service add command I added a service called "libvertd" when I ment to put "libvirtd". Now when I run s6-db-reload it spits out a error message saying "undefined service name libvertd". But I cant remove it using s6-service remove libvertd because that just spits out a generic help message and doesn't change anything. I also couldn't find documentation on https://skarnet.org/software/s6/ or https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/ as the command just *doesn't* exist on those pages. (also no man or info page).

The worst thing about Jenkins is that it works
> We are uding docker-in-docker at the moment
You can also run a "less privileged" container with all the features of Docker by using rootless buildkit in Kubernetes. Here are some examples:
https://github.com/moby/buildkit/tree/master/examples/kubern...

It's also possible to run dedicated buildkitd workers and connect to them remotely.

Show HN: Dockerfile Explorer
- BuildOp evaluates its input as additional LLB operations to add to the graph to allow for dynamic build graphs (also unused in the Dockerfile frontend)
With the Dockerfile Explorer, we run the Dockerfile frontend[1] that BuildKit uses inside of WASM to parse and produce the LLB output locally in your browser. We then embed the Monaco Editor so that you can change your Dockerfile to see how it impacts the LLB output that BuildKit will use to build your Docker image.
You can see a quick video and read more details on how it all works here: https://depot.dev/blog/dockerfile-explorer.
We'd love any feedback or ideas folks would like around this type of tool!

Jenkins Agents On Kubernetes
Now since Kubernetes works off of containerd I'll be taking a different approach on handling container builds by using nerdctl and the buildkit that comes bundled with it. I'll do this on the amd64 control plane node since it's beefier than my Raspberry Pi workers for handling builds and build related services. Go ahead and download and unpack the latest nerdctl release as of writing (make sure to check the release page in case there's a new one):

Frequent Docker BuildKit cache misses with w/ multi-stage and docker-container
There's a 2-year-old moby/buildkit GitHub issue about frequent build cache misses when using the BuildKit docker-container driver and multi-stage builds. Anyone else in this sub run into this problem and/or have reasonable workarounds? It seems like something that should come up pretty often.

A Panic in BuildKit: an Open Source Journey
A couple months ago I encountered a bug in buildkit - when enabling OpenTelemetry tracing, we got occasional panics. With a bit of investigation, we found the cause, fixed and tested in our fork and internal deployments, and pushed to upstream.

Is it possible to copy files from a manifest in Dockerfile?
I do some search in the internet and there seems to be no good solution, so I just create a feature request: https://github.com/moby/buildkit/issues/3859

Cicada - CI/CD platform written with Rust
Yeah, only Linux containers at the moment, BuildKit is the way we are constructing pipelines and doing caching. Split on if we will support non-linux hosts, but definitely want to find a good solution to not doing Docker-in-Docker.
