How many docker containers would you deploy on a laptop? Also 128gb is tiny even for an SSD these days .

None, in fact, because I still haven't got in to using docker! But that is one of the factors that pushes it down the list of things to learn.

I've had a number of low-storage laptops, mostly on account of low budget. Ever since taking an 8GB netbook for work (and personal) in the mountains, I've developed space-saving strategies and habits!

I love docker.... I use it at work and I use it at home.

But I don't see much reason to use it on a laptop? It's more of a server thing. I have no docker/podman containers running on my PCs, but I have like 40 of em on my home NAS.

Yeah, I wonder if these people are just being grumpy grognards about something they don't at all understand? Personal computers are not the use case here.

"Grumpy Grognard". Do we have flairs on Lemmy? I can subtitle myself, grumpy grognard.

Fair point that laptops aren't really the use case, though there have been times I've wanted to try things out on my laptop - actually that's a reason I still want to learn podman or docker, because I hope it's a way to try server-y things on my laptop without polluting my system, and being able to cleanly uninstall.

But okay, space on servers. I have a VPS with 20gb storage. And that has to include my backup data that lives there.

FYI on the origin of the term grognard. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/grognard

My experience with it comes from he RPG/wargame realm. It's not necessarily meant to be derogatory.
