  • Some industries are saying they are completely unviable around 40-60%. See the recent Gamers Nexus video about the computer hardware industry.

    Some companies can survive 10-30% by cutting margins and passing to the consumer, but there are entire classes of product where demand will just evaporate if you raise prices 20-30%, especially budget and value products.

    It’s impossible to reshore manufacturing to stop this too. Every single economist is saying that there is a 0% chance that the way Trump has weaponized tariffs will cause any meaningful production in the US. The only outcome from this is empty shelves and stagflation.



  • Yeah, it’s a distro of kubernetes.

    Most apps run best as a container, but for appliances and legacy apps they have Openshift virtualization which runs VMs in the cluster by running KVM inside of docker.

    The open source tech there is called Kubevirt. All VMs are 1st class citizens in the kubernetes API, so it is actually easier to run than VMware/Proxmox if you already have a Kubernetes cluster and you’re not doing complex stuff with qcow images or VM migrations.

    I use both containers and VMs a lot with Kubernetes at work.















  • Build scripts are often written in bash, yes, but I would say that you should find a utility program, or write your own utility in python, if you’re breaking out sed. It’s very hard to read code like this, no matter the team size.

    There’s probably only 100-300 usages of sed in the entire nixpkgs repo, with over 100,000 packages.

    I definitely agree Linux is easier to maintain and build code on than Windows, but yeah abusing sed is not really an ideal use case 😅
