MQTT turns 25 (and has taken over the world)
I remember reading about it on Jessie Frazelle's blog [1] almost ten years back. I don't think I'd discovered HN so it must have been via Hackaday or similar. I fantasized about how amazing it must be to not have to worry about the myriad issues that came with manually maintaining different deployment environments and dependencies. Unfortunately at the time I was stuck in a professional microcosm that ran on Microsoft products and _maybe_ RHEL under severe duress (with a serious aversion to `audit2allow` and liberal application of `setenforce 0` to boot). Things have been considerably smoother since I've been able to use Docker and containerd via k8s on a full-time basis.

https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk... is the one I remember, a bit old but still useful to see how she does it.
Seems super painful and indirected for a nebulous gain to me, but find your joy however you want I guess

Essential Software in Docker Containers
Some of my day-to-day software.
After knowing that saved Chrome passwords and cookies in Linux are not protected against malicious dependencies in our development environment or other apps in our system, I decided to run my core apps in Docker containers, where their data is not accessible without sudo, and a personal understanding of where stuff is being saved.
These docker containers are also an improved version of https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/
Contrary to the project above, docker-workspaces runs Chrome in a sandbox, encrypts keys with the help of an also dockerized gnome-keychain, and works in tandem with pulseaudio, so you can use wired headphones (i still need to add some dependencies for it to work with bluetooth headphones).
