For me, it’s all about finding the right balance. I don’t want to have to manually update for every little bug fix version bump. Most software I find that major.minor version tags, if they exist, are a good compromise with daily auto updates unless it’s a really fast releasing software where just a major version makes sense. I usually just track releases on GitHub or wherever the source is hosted and bump as I need. That takes care of probably 90-95% of the containers I run.
Just curious - what do you mean by the docker overhead?
Your points about weather obviously stand as a massive blocker but regarding the road, wouldn’t it make sense to take a more direct route if you were mapping out a route for biking? That path is likely optimized for the speed of an automobile I would assume as that appears to be a highway (as someone who is not familiar with Edmonton or the Canadian highway system).
Of course if those roads aren’t bike friendly, which you may have been referring to, everything goes out the window. Much easier when there are wide paths like you see in other bike friendly cities.
The returns McDonalds ones are like 3-4x the price the last time they had them and on top of that, they taste terrible.
That launch pad damage is going to be a massive setback for them. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is down for a year plus. That was their only New Glenn launchpad so it’s not like they have other options. So we are really down to a SpaceX Starship for Artemis 3 if they can get remotely close to being ready at some point. Yesterday I would have told you that Blue Origin was our only hope at staying close to the new timelines. At this point, I will be shocked if we land on the moon before 2032 at the absolute earliest.
