Episode 15: Docker Is Dead, Apparently

What we cover

• Silo: A new Go/Postgres media server that speaks the Jellyfin API, and it’s sUUupppper fast.
• Steam Frame: Valve's VR headset gets pricing, and we discuss who is buying one.
• QuickBytes: Portainer 3.0 goes enterprise, JetKVM Mini shocks us with it’s cheap price, Apple drops a foldable, and Immich 3.2 gets a memory lane.

First up, Alex introduces us to Silo, a self-hosted media server built on Go and Postgres that is super fast. Silo arrives with a clean UI, multi-node transcode workers, native apps for every platform, and the real kicker: it speaks the Jellyfin API, so your existing clients work out of the box. We talk about the pros and cons to it’s approach and how it fits into the ecosystem (as well as some controversy over periods).

Next, Valve finally put a price tag on the Steam Frame: $1,059 for 256GB and $1,299 for 1TB. That's cheaper than many expected given the RAMpocalypse, though reviewers note you'll spend more for some necessary accessory kits. Three of the four hosts are on the wait list. The conversation covers the impressive ARM architecture running Proton and FEX translation layers to play Windows games natively, the surprisingly thin standalone game library (Half-Life: Alyx is the headline title, from 2020), and the battery life concern of roughly 1.5 hours in Performance mode. Still, the hosts are betting on Valve's track record of iterating on hardware the way they did with the Steam Deck.

Finally, the QuickBytes round hits four stories. Portainer 3.0 is going enterprise-only and pivoting hard to Kubernetes, leaving Docker fans wondering what comes next. JetKVM Mini brings matchbox-sized KVM-over-IP to the masses for just $33. Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, a $2,000 foldable with a 7.6-inch inner display and Apple Pencil support. And Immich 3.2 delivers the features Stephen's been waiting for: a dedicated memories page, improved search, and better handling of shared assets across platforms.
