This gives a lot of people the possibility to begin using a platform with components that they already know and love -- and it gives the ability to target any arch or os with one "artifact". multiarch builds goes away here.
@squillace A key achievement of this spec is that a Wasm component in an OCI registry is conceptually still a component, rather than a wrapper that modifies the semantics of a component.
Among other things, this means that artifacts in OCI registries can continue to participate in component composition.

How The Modi Govt Is Trying To Silence Critics In The Diaspora By Banning Them From India
The Modi government has cancelled more than 100 Overseas Citizen of India cards over nine years and blacklisted—meaning banned from entering the country—an unknown number of Indian-origin people. Indian embassies and consulates are increasingly tasked with monitoring and stopping those who criticise or even tweet against Modi, government policies and Hindutva.
Watching CI building the multiplatform #Docker/#OCI images you need is worse than paint dry. Because paint is at least more predictable, so are those images building build if there isn't a networking glitch mid build 🤦 .
A client asked me if it was a good idea to move to GCP, told him that regardless of the costs, he'll have a better chance of getting the Pope on the phone than meaningful support from Google.
The cloud equivalent of buying a used car. You're pretty much on your own. Plus very few professionals in our region are getting certified on it.
Derisking, either available vendor support or available local IT people especialized on those cloud vendors.
We can compromise on lock-in effects, but not with an unstable provider that seems to kill services and do massive layoffs without much regard towards customers affected by such actions.
Azure and AWS aren't perfect, but they are somewhat predictable.
So what is everyone using for their #oci image building needs? Having a bit of a fight with #docker#buildx today while trying make building multi arch images, without pushing them to the registry right away. This is so I can load it up later for testing and CVE scanning them before pushing them to the registry. With docker build that is easy, docker buildx build not so much :(.
@mkutz1492 also even if that argument was valid - which it isn't - #Oracle#OCI would not allow registering as "individual" but require existing contracts as business customer - like #DTAG does - to even signup for the #OracleCloud...
@knasher I have not, I have thought about it carefully and I'd like to get on one of these leases of laptops that allows me to try it without any compromises.
I'm a ThinkPad-kind of guy. I do LOVE deeply Thinkpads. My current beast of a laptop is strangely a Honor (Huawei) MagicBook Pro 16 (MBP knock off) and despite the lack of fame of the brand it's deeply surprising me every time with its 4600U processor.
Never before in my life have I run seamlessly multiple VMs on my laptop without caring about battery life. Which is one of the other things this laptop keeps surprising me with.
I still prefer ThinkPad due to their keyboards and EXCELLENT Linux compatibility.
@maikelthedev Ouch, if I were in a situation that I had to have access to it, I would probably end up writing a snail mail to reach out to them. Sorry, not sure what else could be done, Oracle set it up like this.
Jesus-efffing-Christ so adding on top of their pathetic interface to change address and/or add a phone to get a SALES call, I ended up using the live chat, who requested to call me on the phone, who called me to just act as gatekeeper of "why do you need a paid account..." before passing me over to a cloud engineer (not sure why I need that just to change from free to paid) like...da...fuck, I'm putting money on your pocket, does it matter why? It's none of your business, just make it a paid account.
What a waste of my time.
EDIT: To make matters worse, the nosy sales agent, just sends me back to the live-chat to talk with the cloud engineer but instead of passing me with them, he just closes the chat. I've been here 20-minutes you idiot. Now I need to start from scratch again.
@maikelthedev Yes, believe me, I have been there in the past with OCI. I was ready and willing to give them 5 figures a year for a couple of specific resources, but they were "constrained", and not just by region. Apparently, I still needed "approval" to use them. A massively sales-centered organization that makes it hard to give them money for services. It's much less per year now. 🙄
Does anyone here work for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
Your console SUCKS lemons.
Spanish numbers have 9 figures, always had, not 10. How on Earth do you want me to request a sales call if you're asking for 10 figures? Do you actually want to sell your products? #oci#oracle#oraclecloud#oci#oracle#oraclecloud
@maikelthedev trying to sign up for Oracle Cloud to run a fediserver was easily the most miserable experience of its kind. Impenetrable forms, signup processes, eventually total failure and the most “we don’t care” response from their “customer” “care” 🚮
