I keep forgetting how powerful phones are: here's a demo of using external peripherals and developing applications on the device itself!

@Eggfreckles very weird. Glad it worked out!
@Eggfreckles that's unexpectedly great news!
@Eggfreckles bizarre, that sucks.
@Eggfreckles 😕Secure Boot in the BIOS?

JS projects can accumulate a ton of dependencies, but TIL that npm can explain why you have them. `npm explain foo` or `npm why foo` shows the dependency path to foo.
Super handy when you weren't expecting to depend on something.
@Eggfreckles what went wrong?
I learned this because one of our QA servers was hit by a ransomware attack (not a huge issue, it's QA after all). We thought we were protected via ufw/firewall, but we were wrong. Here's a video breakdown: https://f001.backblazeb2.com/file/ams-screencasts/docker_iptables.mp4
Docker TIL: Docker's iptables chains win over ufw 😅If you're relying on ufw or anything similar to route traffic differently than Docker you're going to lose that race every time.
Instead apply your rules to DOCKER-USER directly: https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/
@Eggfreckles The future :)
