Hey with all the questions on Apple m1, I thought to ask how you’re installing docker (or alternatives!?) on silicon native (no Rosetta)

Brew, docker desktop, rancher, or how?

Interested in docker for laravel and Django on m1

What are you using for appointment booking and payments?

As a service provider, one to one or one to many virtual meetings and hopefully ability to just get paid easily integrated or easily added on? Paypal least preferred. Looking for credit and bank options APAC location.

I saw in the most recent ‘those making $500/month’ that some sold digital products (templates/courses, etc.), for those of us not in the US,

1. What platform do use and why? I’ve seen appsumo, gumroad and what appeared to be self host/build in that post and related links off of it.

2. How are you getting paid ( through the platform/ through Stripe)

3. Can you move your content from your current platform or did the terms mean you cannot?

4. Any other advice?

Am I gonna make real money if the digital products are good (market will tell yes yes!) or is this something that only works with loyal followers or those with great creds?

Hello

Where’s the best place to get free templates for commercial non commercial use, with animations and cool themes?

I bought a Mac and come from a Ubuntu / Debian or win background. What / how do I install Dev tools, git, python, nose, npm etc using best practice and without building from source?

Home brew or macports?

Vscode work ok on the m1?

It’s an m1 chip so wanting to go native as far as possible, and don’t have to load esoteric sdk, java etc as I think I can skip or shell into my Ubuntu.

Your best practices to ensure a malware and safe dev environment also useful!

Thank you

I’m an architect and if you see my previous submissions it’s clear I’m looking for change to start my own thing and make more money (honesty policy)

I’ve many years in architecture and tech in private and public sector and looking at starting something or getting out of bureaucracy of Gov (current).

contracting is ok if I make the green and stop the daily noise of other nonsense floating into my work queue.

So how do I start a boutique, can I do this between cities, internationally / remotely? Is there market for EA, solution architecture, cloud, transformation via remote? Do you have an idea how to start? I was thinking if reaching to local recruiters to ask about Part time contracts, small gigs or sub contracting. I can reach out to my network locally.

I want to play / dev and need a cloud instance vm or similar to host a single node non HA k8s. My local machine hdd died and not looking to replace that. Where can I host minikube or micro or something and have it relatively useful for non prod toying around?

$10 or less, services deployed are public internet accessible, good disk space, image repo included if possible

Ta!

Flex jobs.com seems to have many architect roles posted. Are they legit, anyone know? What’s an option to find architect jobs that are remote and actually an option for someone outside of the US or EU? Work from home is key.

Following the Ask HN on becoming a consultant I wonder if anyone has templates to link to or share? Contracts, proposal and Statement of Work are top of mind unless there are others as well?
