Configuring Docker for buildx
Turns out the Yocto recipes were building docker version 18.09.3, but I need something greater that 19.03.0. I was just about to rework the recipes to update them, but it turns our that the good folks upstream had already done this for me (thanks Bruce for this patch).

What Fingerprint Reader?
I have been struggling with a rather odd problem on my laptop since updating to Fedora 30. Everything had been going fine for a number of weeks, but all of a sudden anything that required a login was taking a /very/ long time. This included the initial login and sudo, which was extremely annoying!

Docker buildx from scratch
I was recently at DockerCon 2019 in San Francisco on the Arm booth presenting the beta build extensions (buildx) that enable the docker cli to build multi-architecture container images and automatically hide them behind a fat manifest.
