As others have already said, no, direct overhead sun actually doesn’t happen in a sizable chunk of the world. But I’ll add some personal experience:

I’ve lived at northern latitudes my whole life and two things are always weird when I visit equatorial regions: 1) experiencing true “noon” or true overhead sun 2) the incredibly short sunsets. I also always end up getting fucking roasted by sunburn on vacation, not understanding the power of tropical overhead sun’s radiation intensity. Even if I know it intellectually, I never remember it well enough to avoid getting burned because I can be outside at home in the sun for a lot longer.

I am running my entire homelab from podman quadlets (systemd managed podman containers) and it’s honestly very dope. Podman gets a bad rap for being second tier to docker but they legit have a bunch of awesome features for Linux users specifically that make it way nicer. Using systemd for docker status can add some misdirection occasionally, but having the logs from containers directly in journalctl alongside the rest of my system logs is amazing
