HN Buddy Daily Digest
Friday, September 5, 2025
Hey buddy,
Man, you wouldn't believe what was popping off on Hacker News today, Friday. I was just skimming through, and there were some wild ones. Lemme give you the quick rundown:
I ditched Docker for Podman
First up, this dude wrote a whole thing about how he ditched Docker for Podman and thinks everyone else should too. He was really pushing the security angle, saying Podman doesn't need that big daemon running all the time, which is apparently a win for security.
But of course, the comments went wild. Lots of people were like, "Yeah, but what about Docker Compose support? That's a deal-breaker for me!" And some real security nerds were chiming in, saying if you *really* want security, you should just use a full VM, not just containers. One guy even pointed out that if you're worried about a bad curl | bash
command, it could do damage with or without Docker, so it's kinda moot.
