this week reading, and compilation of the news that I come across

I’ve been thinking how to get macOS on Linux

I love running Linux, and have been a fan of Fedora Linux in the year of 2024, at the same time, I missed the goodness from macOS which has been my daily drivers, for work, code, and learning mostly. Just if there is a method that I could actually make use of macOS over Linux environment… https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX ; reading this, observing some mild complications, hence recording this for future experimentation. The only downside from macOS / Apple Ecosystem that I really missed only a few; the ‘Password’ (allows shared password, and TOTP generation, which also facilitate sharing amongst family members); then the Notes application perhaps, on certain cases, and maybe freely shared amongst family members, with more advanced formatting, and come as default FREE option (doesn’t have to pay extra for its feature). All the downside about Apple Ecosystem products is that they are into the native experience, native applications, where the web-based experience like iCloud are poorly done. Shall evaluate again the hassle and complexity whether worth running this dockerised macOS.. Good to know at least there is option here.

Reading someone’s Golang Journey

A casual browsing of learning Go, discover more Gems. I tend to think there a lot to learn when picking up Golang, easily gets into the discovery of its associated ecosystem. Example this one here: https://dev.to/danielhe4rt/this-is-all-what-ive-learned-about-go-in-two-weeks-1bf2 then from the article, I learnt about ScyllaDB

ScyllaDB

I learn about this assignment related to Golang that works with ScyllaDB (https://github.com/basementdevs/throttiling-requests-scylladb-go-test) which I come to realise about ScyllaDB being one of the NoSQL ; and reading the comparison with MongoDB; based on the Numberly use-cases for 5 years in the production https://www.scylladb.com/2023/06/13/when-to-use-scylladb-vs-mongodb-lessons-learned-from-5-years-in-production/ ; anyway more to read from here: https://www.scylladb.com/compare/scylladb-vs-mongodb/

I though that’s interesting to know how to use the database and to learn from others use-cases.

Kubernetes alternatives! (OpenShift, ECS, Rancher, Docker Compose)

I have been thinking how to get started on the Kubernetes, container, and applying those onto the production workload. At times, we really need a real-world use-cases, something that at least serving a solid purpose. This gave me a good read, into comparison of various containerisation, orchestration, and abstraction over the infrastructure. https://last9.io/blog/kubernetes-alternatives
