## notes
### Docker
this project uses Dockerfiles to allow for *mostly-reproducible* builds.
podman is used to substitute docker because docker is commercial and bloated.
**neither docker nor podman is required for executing the binaries.**
binaries are isolated and extracted from the resulting containers.
those binaries can be transferred across platforms, like any other APE.
in the future, it would be nice to use something
like what Void Linux does for its packages,
which would entirely sidestep the clunkiness
of Dockerfiles and working with containers.
this project does *not* strive for reproducible builds in the way
[that nix does.](https://nixos.org/guides/how-nix-works.html)
