Just got an email thanking me for being a 5-node/free user, but Portainer isn’t free and I need to stop being a cheap-ass and pay them because blah blah economic times enshittification blah blah blah.

I’ve moved off them a while ago, but figured I’d see if they emailed EVERYONE about this?

A good time to ditch them if you haven’t, I suppose.

    Terminals are powerful and flexible, but still slower than a dedicated UI to see states at a glance, issue routine commands, or do text editing.

    Terminal absolutists are as insufferable as GUI purists. There is a place and time for both.

      I open up two terminal windows. The first runs watch docker ps and the second is where I make changes.

      Beautifully said. I can’t say I’ve come across too many GUI purists, but I’ve definitely been shamed by terminal absolutists who are fine with turning a 1 second process into a 10 second one. There’s a time and place for both.

      That’s what aliases / functions in .bashrc (or whatever shell you use) are for. You don’t need to always write the full code.
