How to run docker-compose on Mac OSX 10.14 (Mojave) without Docker Desktop

I run Mac OSX version 10.14 (Mojave) because some audio software I use doesn’t support newer versions. Unfortunately, that version of OSX is now deprecated by Docker Desktop leaving luddites in the dark.

It turns out you can still run a Docker daemon via colima.

All you need to do is:

$ brew install colima docker # install dependencies
$ colima start --runtime docker # start the docker runtime
$ docker ps # check that its running
$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.11.2/docker-compose-darwin-x86_64 \
$   -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose # download appropriate docker-compose binary from github
$ chmod +x  /usr/local/bin/docker-compose # make it executable
$ docker-compose # check that this worked

Now you can use docker-compose on it’s own!

Mark Zuckerberg NFTs

I’m pleased to present my first collection of NFTs: A series of images generated by passing “Mark Zuckerberg NFT” into Dall-E 3.


Mark Zuckerberg NFTs

While I have a general distrust of all crypto-adjacent art, my long fascination with the lizardly face of Mark Zuckerberg led me to inevitably put his name as a prompt into one of the new AI-art generators.

What resutled was equal parts horror and amazement:


Mark Zuckerberg Eating A Bagel
Mark Zuckerberg Laughing
Mark Zuckerberg on a date
Mark Zuckerberg eating a salad
Mark Zuckerberg on the toilet.

When I finally submitted “Mark Zuckerberg NFT” as a prompt, I was amazed at how the algorithm captured both the stylized neon glow of many digital collectibles as well as the disgustingness of Mark Zuckerberg.

I thought this to be true “art”, worthy of a permanent place on the blockchain. Now they can be yours for the low, low price of 0.1 ETH.
