Open Source Fueled The Oscar-Winning ‘Flow’

I’ve always been a big fan of open source software because it’s free (as in freedom) and has plenty of potential to grow in ways that proprietary software could never.

Syncing Files with Docker-Compose Watch

When using Docker to create portable and easy reproducible development environments, we need to found a way to make changes to our codebase, immediately effective inside containers, without the need to re-build them each time. A possible solution consists into mounting host directories directly inside containers; this, however, requires breaking containers isolation and portability, since they become dependant on the host directory structure. To solve this problem, we can use docker-compose watch.

Exploring the Hybrid Debian GNU/kFreeBSD Distribution

While Linux distributions, such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora, have grown to dominate the open-source ecosystem, BSD-based systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD have remained the preferred choice for those seeking security, performance, and licensing flexibility.
