That's the "give up on container and process security" approach. It's a fine approach from any given user's standpoint. From an infra/tool provider standpoint, it ignores the intense demand that exists for esta

Yes - this is not really a Docker thing but a Linux kernel thing, although client-side support is of course needed from Docker and any other system that uses cgroups/namespaces. Also, one other thing to know is from the kernel's p

A file based unix socket or procfs node is an operating system implementation-specific concept. It requires a substantial amount of logic to be bundled with the guest OS. Maybe a serial device or something like that would be more appropriat

I use this combination too, and I love it. Sphinx has great hackability and support, while github pages is free and very reliable. Here is a script that I use to publish to github pages, assuming the sphinx config is under "docs":

Of course I would trust someone if someone I trusted trusted them - subject to some obvious limitations. That is the essence of a social network. A cryptographic representation of that network is a profoundly powerful concept. But OpenPGP&#

So many people in this discussion talking about how this isn't a true alternative to PGP while ignoring the fact that gnupg and all other PGP software are a giant usability trainwreck. The PGP web of trust is as good as dead, and denia

zstd is almost always a better choice than lz4 if you have a superscalar, vectorizing CPU. This is certainly the case for any datacenter, desktop, or modern laptop CPU out there (although you need to tune zstd accordingly). Even newer phone

That's the scary, and perhaps most immoral, part about Google. More so than other megacorps, it relies on a shadow workforce of contractors to do core parts of its work. It's quite the caste system, and most Google FTEs are oblivi

A Fire upon the Deep is more flawed and uneven, but correspondingly more ambitious and thought-provoking. To me both are easily among the top 5 sci-fi novels ever written. I wish Vinge would keep writing more about Pham Nuwen's adventu
