   @pho4cexa glibc is just this amazing pinnacle of ineptitude when it comes to this problem

   every other language on earth makes it easy to target old versions but with glibc you get to choose between "install an entire separate operating system just for one goddamn library" or "pile your chroot hacks so tall that they appear to be a monument to human hubris and risk incurring the wrath of the gods in a babel-type curse"

   only such an abdication of basic common sense could lead to a situation where "just use docker" is legitimately the easiest way to go

     my weaksauce vps runs debian 12 ("bookworm") which has glibc 2.36

     my beefy dev box runs debian 13 ("trixie") which has glibc 2.37

     that means rust programs i compile on dev don't work when i copy them up to vps

     quick fix: compile it in a docker container:

     docker run --rm \
     --user "$(id -u)":"$(id -g)" \
     -v "$PWD":/x \
     -w /x \
     rust:bookworm \
     cargo build --release
     

     in general i hate docker but it does come in handy for this
