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.

I open up two terminal windows. The first runs watch docker ps and the second is where I make changes.

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.

Wtf at y'all talking about, it's usually way faster to do these things in terminal. I guarantee I can restart a docker container faster with a terminal then you can with a browser.

Alt+enter brings up a terminal, then I type literally "ssh server" and I'm ssh'd into the box. 'sudo docker restart containername' and the password and I'm done before Firefox even loads for your dumbass and I didn't even have to lift my hands from the keyboard. And for common and repeatable tasks there are these things called aliases and the ability to chain commands. I can condense all of that to a single command. Lmao. GUI plebs are so annoying with their ignorance

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.

You obviously don't know your way around a terminal at all... I guarantee I can do anything faster in terminal than you can in a GUI. Especially for repeatable tasks like restarting a container.
