> huge uid didn't work in podman (like 1000000 I think)

You're running into the `/etc/sub[ug]id` defaults. The old default was to start your normal user at 100000 + 64k additional sub-IDs per user, but that changed recently when people at megacorps with hundreds of thousands of employees defined in LDAP and similar ran into ID conflict. Sub-IDs now start at 2^19 on RHEL10 for this reason.
