[0.00 --> 3.96] I think we have something like 70 people signed up for the East Coast meetup so far.
[5.18 --> 6.14] 69, baby.
[6.64 --> 6.98] Nice.
[7.72 --> 11.62] You know it's going to go up from there, too, because it always kind of goes up a few ticks in the last day.
[12.16 --> 15.98] Now, the question that I have, is this barbecue place going to have enough meat?
[16.62 --> 19.74] Well, I've been emailing them back and forth, and it's a little bit complicated.
[19.96 --> 23.68] We don't want to have to charge everybody tickets and admission and that kind of thing.
[24.08 --> 28.98] But, you know, a barbecue restaurant, they make a certain amount of food in the morning, well, the night before.
[28.98 --> 31.24] And once it's gone, it's gone.
[31.58 --> 35.88] So there are a couple of things that we can do to help kind of mitigate that.
[36.28 --> 37.82] You can preorder on the website.
[38.24 --> 46.18] So, you know, when you turn up to the spot, you can walk into the restaurant and they'll sort of carve your food while you wait in there without waiting in the normal line.
[46.98 --> 56.30] The other thing that we were thinking about doing, but we're not sure of the logistics and how it would work, is giving them numbers beforehand so that we can actually make sure there's enough meat for everybody.
[56.48 --> 58.88] Well, the way that would work is if people sign up on the meetup page.
[59.60 --> 59.70] Yeah.
[59.76 --> 65.40] So it is critical if you are coming, please make sure you sign up on the meetup page so we have a really accurate idea of numbers.
[65.56 --> 68.84] And equally, if you aren't able to make it, please unsubscribe.
[69.22 --> 70.94] Please say, no, you're not coming anymore.
[71.00 --> 71.96] That's really important, too.
[72.62 --> 74.34] I love that we're running into this problem.
[75.30 --> 77.26] And this is just a great problem to have.
[77.36 --> 80.38] We are thrilled to have this problem and we want it to be an even bigger problem.
[80.52 --> 88.86] So if you can come hang out with us on April 9th in Raleigh, North Carolina, we have all the details at meetup.com slash Jupiter Broadcasting.
[88.86 --> 91.88] and don't worry, we're going to bring some snacks too.
[92.82 --> 94.48] And they're not going to be meat snacks.
[94.62 --> 97.20] If you're not a meat eater, there will be something for you.
[97.66 --> 99.00] Yeah, well, I think we're bringing Brent with us,
[99.04 --> 100.56] so we've at least got to take care of him, right?
[101.18 --> 103.52] Right, he'll be our vegan advocate, you know.
[103.66 --> 105.42] He always stands up for the non-meat eaters
[105.42 --> 107.44] because he's about the only one in our crowd.
[109.26 --> 112.26] So I was browsing the old Hacker News the other day
[112.26 --> 114.94] and I came across a Docker.com blog post
[114.94 --> 119.36] about a speed boost achievement for Docker Desktop in 4.6.
[119.82 --> 121.40] This is a fascinating story, Alex.
[121.90 --> 122.82] Yeah, I think so too.
[122.98 --> 124.76] And the performance of Docker Desktop,
[124.98 --> 128.68] particularly on the M1 Silicon, Apple Silicon Macs,
[128.68 --> 134.58] has been bad enough that I have literally stopped using Docker on my Mac
[134.58 --> 137.74] and I just SSH into a server and use it there
[137.74 --> 139.20] and do all my builds on a remote server.
[140.26 --> 140.34] Yeah.
[141.18 --> 141.56] Oof.
[141.78 --> 143.94] Okay, so, you know, we're going to talk today
[143.94 --> 146.02] about how I'm looking at ditching containers,
[146.02 --> 149.32] so we thought we should probably have a little bit of container good news.
[150.18 --> 153.20] And this is a neat little happenstance.
[153.20 --> 156.90] There was a discovery by the Asahi Linux team,
[157.00 --> 160.64] Hector Martin, who's trying to port Linux to the M1,
[161.46 --> 165.94] discovered that Apple's NVMe drivers are really, really great
[165.94 --> 169.90] except for a particular function called the fsync.
[169.90 --> 173.34] And depending on how this is called and when it's called,
[173.80 --> 177.20] it's horribly slow on macOS.
[178.06 --> 181.14] So Hector discovered that, talked about it publicly.
[181.82 --> 184.84] They've submitted code upstream to Linux kernel to solve it on Linux,
[185.06 --> 187.26] but it isn't necessarily solved on the Mac.
[187.96 --> 190.22] And so a Docker user noticed this.
[190.22 --> 192.20] We'll have a link to the GitHub issue and said,
[192.28 --> 194.66] hey, by the way, this might help performance.
[194.66 --> 199.02] I've done some testing here, and I've noticed that if you use the same fix
[199.02 --> 201.82] that Hector Martin found and you apply it,
[202.22 --> 204.86] you're going to get this kind of expected performance increase.
[205.16 --> 207.66] And, you know, just one of these great examples of community helping,
[208.50 --> 210.22] you know, really improving a product like this.
[210.48 --> 212.52] The Docker team took a look at the suggestion and said,
[212.58 --> 214.74] yeah, you're right, let's implement it.
[214.82 --> 218.62] And now they're saying some operations are like 98% faster.
[219.66 --> 220.90] Well, they were pretty slow beforehand.
[221.16 --> 222.04] So, I mean.
[222.80 --> 223.86] They had room to go.
[223.86 --> 226.84] They had plenty of headspace to improve that.
[227.00 --> 227.10] Yeah.
[227.54 --> 227.80] Yeah.
[228.02 --> 228.76] It's interesting.
[228.94 --> 232.24] And, you know, as we record, the Asahi Linux team just released,
