1. The Default Bridge This is the default network that new containers will connect to. It’s a software bridge between your docker instance and your host system, providing isolation between the bridge network and other networks, including the host network and other bridge networks on the host. Docker best practices discourage using this network for containers, recommending User-Defined bridges instead, which we will get to in #4. When to use it: Avoid using the Default Bridge, use another network type instead where possible...
Headnotes First, the project link, for those of you who just want to gander at code and commit history Second, this post uses some Mermaid JS graphs, which don’t look great on a dark background, so I recommend switching the site to light mode by clicking the little sun next to “Home” in the navbar. Introduction Last night was one of the worst night’s sleep I’ve had in the past few years....

Submodules aren’t removed using git rm submodule-dir, they need to be removed in a far more thorough and annoying fashion. There are a number of unclear explanations at various sources so I decided to write my own findings. Delete the relevant parts from the .gitmodules file. EG: 1 2 3 [submodule "blog/themes/PaperMod"] path = blog/themes/PaperMod url = https://github.com/adityatelange/hugo-PaperMod.git Stage .gitmodules via git add .gitmodules Remove the relevant parts from .git/config...
Introduction I recently came to the conclusion that I wasn’t posting on my blog nearly as much as I’d like to. My blog runs on WordPress, and I’ve felt for a while that the process of logging in, creating a post, fixing formatting in a WSYWGI editor and eventually posting was too much resistance when I commonly just write notes in plain text.
