Minimus makes its hardened container images free — the thread asks who pays later (images.minimus.io)
Minimus publishes hundreds of distroless images with per-image vulnerability-reduction percentages — nginx at 100%, python at 98% — now free with no SLA or guaranteed patch timing, while paid tiers get fixes first.
The thread, with the co-founder present, circles one worry: free tiers vanish once they're load-bearing. Engineers also press on the unanswered basics — no Dockerfiles, unclear licensing, and a supply-chain trust gap against open-source Wolfi.
