Interesting. Keepass[0] (password store) compress with GZip by default before encryption.

Remembering best practices for BASH might be hard. I recommend using http://www.shellcheck.net/. I use with vim and syntastic. This article talks more about it: http://jezenthomas.com/shell-script-static-analysis-in-vim/

Also, an alternative to `docker-machine scp` is docker-osx-dev (https://github.com/brikis98/docker-osx-dev). It will rsync a path into the docker-machine host.

I wonder if there are stories about running Selenium tests in production. Something in the lines of semantic monitoring (http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques/semantic-monito...)

If it is slow, use vim --startuptime to check for slow plugins on startup.

Cool! Can you share your NixOS configuration file?

I wonder how would that be like with Avro. It also has JSON encoding: https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#json_encoding

Java 10 is supposed to introduce value types, that will change the way we use nulls, check here: http://blog.joda.org/2014/11/better-nulls-in-java-10.html

That is great!

But when using the command, it does not work with defined bash/zsh aliases. Anyone has any idea how to do that?

Say I have "alias g=git", when I use the command "g diff", the following error happens: .fbPager.sh: line 4: g: command not found

Yes, rkt App Container runtime is based on cgroups and namespaces. Same as runtimes of Docker, lmctfy, systemd-nspawn, lxc or (almost) any other container technology for Linux. The big difference is on specification of images. rkt introduced the App Container specification for its images: https://github.com/appc/spec/blob/master/SPEC.md#image-archi...

Also, saw this comparison of Dropwizard with Spring boot: http://blog.takipi.com/java-bootstrap-dropwizard-vs-spring-b... Interesting to understand the libs and flexibility each one have.

There is also Tmux resurrect that you might take a look: https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect

I am curious about one thing: how System Docker as PID 1 deals with reaping zombie processes?

For Java there is Pitest: http://pitest.org/

Can somebody explain what is the risk with such security issues if you own the containers?

There is also an alternative to GTD, it is Zen to Done (http://zenhabits.net/zen-to-done-ztd-the-ultimate-simple-pro...). It basically tries to be a simplification of GTD. Also the idea is to focus on 10 simple habits to improve productivity.

I've been using duply http://duply.net/ for a while. It is a simple frontend for duplicity http://duplicity.nongnu.org/. I find it very easy to setup. It also provides encrypted backups trough GPG.

Has somebody used it? It seems to be better to install software that is not supported by the distro, instead of dealing with PPAs.

Interesting this approach of building single binary containers.

I think that would be like packr [1] for Java, already discussed here [2]. I wonder if there is something like this for other languages/platforms like python/ruby/node.

I've already saw people suggesting Syncthing (now Ind.ie Pulse) as an alternative to Dropbox and BitTorrent Sync. Does anybody has more experience with it? I mean how mature it is and what are the pros/cons of it?

Would that be simple as running a CoreOS image inside Xen? Does it make sense?

Hey James. Awesome post! Good to have a simple overview of these thing.

What about Humming Board? http://www.solid-run.com/products/hummingboard/

It has ARMv7 and has a reasonable price.

Looks awesome! With this release, what would be the difference between Deis and Flynn?

I wonder if Vagrant will eventually do what Fig[1] does.
