Just got an email thanking me for being a 5-node/free user, but Portainer isn’t free and I need to stop being a cheap-ass and pay them because blah blah economic times enshittification blah blah blah.
I’ve moved off them a while ago, but figured I’d see if they emailed EVERYONE about this?
A good time to ditch them if you haven’t, I suppose.

Terminals are powerful and flexible, but still slower than a dedicated UI to see states at a glance, issue routine commands, or do text editing.
Terminal absolutists are as insufferable as GUI purists. There is a place and time for both.

That’s what aliases / functions in .bashrc (or whatever shell you use) are for. You don’t need to always write the full code.
EDIT: Looks like .bashrc hurt you guys.
These fools are ridiculous. Ignorance.
Beautifully said. I can’t say I’ve come across too many GUI purists, but I’ve definitely been shamed by terminal absolutists who are fine with turning a 1 second process into a 10 second one. There’s a time and place for both.

Wow, you’re an ass. I bet I could update a dual monitor setup with different resolutions, refresh rates and positions with nvidia-settings faster than you can editing xorg.conf in vim. My point is that people should use the best tool for the job instead of stroking their superiority complex to prove a point.
slackware has been my daily driver since the late 90s. It still boots to CLI by default. I’m more than comfortable in a terminal emulator. I’m also fine with clicking on stuff. I don’t use portainer, but there’s nothing wrong with people who do.
I open up two terminal windows. The first runs watch docker ps and the second is where I make changes.
