What Spark has going for it is its ecosystem. Things like Delta and Iceberg are being written for Spark first. Look at PyIceberg for example
You said it was a small team for Proton Drive. I also feel they are prioritizing more products instead of investing in improving their current offering
For Docker, you could start here in this HN thread [1], for NixOS and flakes there is a video series and git [2] I used at the begining which I liked.
I wanted something a bit more 'complete', so if you will you can read through my nix repo [3].
I have built Portry and Go applications (that I'll push to nixpkgs at some point) and GCP images for VMs, so if you need a reference for that just ask :)

I use beancount and load the blue ARS-USD exchange rate and record all my transactions in the currency it actually happened. I am a bit flexible as to avoid lifestyle creep and ARS appreciation (like this month)
Either you like authoritarian governments or you have it in for this website (or both?)
I'm from Argentina, and I didn't want either of the final options, but I knew that choosing the continuity of the current govt would bring us closer and closer to what's happening in Venezuela
Except importers, people can't buy the official dollar. Most people can't buy the 200 dollars a month that the central bank allows, with a tax of 75% over the official value. Then you have the markets dollars, the MEP and CCL, which are more expensive (~100% more than the official).
All of these types of exchange are setup to make the process painful as possible because they want to stop draining the federal reserves.
With USDT et al you can buy it much much easier, out of reach of the AFIP if done correctly, and you are safe against the high inflation (78% for 2022 so far). This crypto dollars are normally cheaper than the MEP&CCL and more expensive than the others.
I'm on my phone, sorry for the typos.
