Alrighty. The Toad is out of the bag. 👜🐸 Install toad to work with a variety of #AI coding agents with one beautiful terminal interface. Check out the blog post for more information... willmcgugan.github.io/toad-r… I've been told I'm very authentic on camera. You just can't fake that kind of awkwardness.

Go master your Linux, Docker, and networking skills and support Ivan. He’s an absolute legend!
23 Nov 2025
Three years ago, I started building an interactive learning platform to help people master Linux, networking, Docker, and Kubernetes in a visual and hands-on way. Today, iximiuz Labs has: - 60 remote Linux playgrounds - Dozens of interactive tutorials - 100 practical challenges - A growing cohort of great authors ...and most importantly, 34.2 registered students with over 2,000 daily active users 🤯 Developing and operating a platform of such scale has become my full-time job, and honestly, the workload is outgrowing my capacity as a single-person SaaS founder. A proper team is becoming increasingly necessary. If you're one of the students considering switching to the premium tier, now is the best time. On the premium tier, you will get: - Full access to all current and future learning materials published by the iximiuz Labs team - Twice bigger playground VMs with no daily usage time limit - The ability to store the playground state and restore it later on ...and a whole bunch of smaller perks. Why now? With the Black Friday deal, both the subscription and the lifetime plans are no longer a steal but a robbery. But there might be an even bigger reason - even undiscounted, the all-inclusive lifetime premium access is not a sustainable way to run an edu business, so all sales of this plan are going to stop by the end of the year. So, now _is_ the best time: labs.iximiuz.com/premium P.S. Of course, all revenue from the sales is reinvested in the platform's continued development 💪

Main Docker Container Commands (Cheat Sheet) 🔽 Running containers, attaching to them, and executing commands in containers are the key container management operations. Tried my best to explain them visually on a single diagram.
