Docker might be eating your batteries?

Might? I catch the Docker deamon regularly to eat through a full core while no container is actually up. Also every now and then I have to manually delete all the dangling docker images because the filesystem runs out of nodes because Docker doesn't clean up after itself (although this could be on purpose, I don't know, or I'm doing something wrong...)

EDIT: I guess this has nothing to do with docker0, but still, docker is feasting on my battery every now and then.

docker0 is just a regular Linux bridge and there's absolutely nothing special about it.

I've always assumed that powertop was mis-reporting power usage for those decidedly non-physical interfaces.

Therefore, the author's reported decrease in power usage surprises me. Can anyone reproduce/explain this?

Is it anything to do with this issue, where Docker is waking the cpu from sleep too often?

etcd by way of minikube eats your batteries for sure

Serverless is not go green(environmentally). Saves only green in your pocket.

Hmmm, so running an operating system on your operating system consumes 20% more resources. Who would have guessed? :)
