I'm considering switching my personal servers (on Digital Ocean) from Ubuntu to Debian. I essentially just need something running Docker for most of my projects. Debian seems to require upgrading less often. Any opinions?

The niche of short, environment-specific scripts, and the consequences for programming language design choices: https://brrt-to-the-future.blogspot.com/2021/03/why-bother-with-scripting.html

I find it odd that people recommend Docker for sandboxing agentic coding tools. Isn't it easier to just create a separate user account on the machine? It's an established security boundary, and viewing output is easy (just make the user's home directory world readable).
