A more extensive look at the code, it requires the host root user to set `kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1` after which Vagga can perform privileged operations as a "root" user inside a user namespace.

I don't understand this point: - Fully userspace containers, no need for elevated privileges The most basic Linux container is constructed with chroot and namespaces, both of which require root privileges (or at least CAP_SYS_CH

I see a trend of people maintaining a GitHub repo called `dotfiles` for their public configurations, myself included for zsh/tmux/vim/git. I haven't found a satisfactory way to sync secrets between machines other than vi

With regards to the copy protection aspect, it was a pretty common practice back in the day (perhaps even still is). In the Macintosh Classic's ROM, there were debug sequences that not only would display pictures of the development tea

NetBooting from the internet AND over HTTP? Sign me up! Sarcasm aside, at the very least it would have been nice to see it use iPXE's `imgtrust` and `imgverify` functionality, which I could then audit and load on to a boot medium for n

For me, wanting to buy is not about an investment. I want somewhere secure and stable to live. The "dead money" aspect of rent versus a mortgage is just a bonus. It must seem alien to most in the west the sheer lack of protection

I would say it is an inclusive term, and in my experience, used frequently as such by people of all genders. There is a lot that can be done in tech to progress towards gender inclusivity, however publicly calling out use of words which his

What is bothering me is that supposedly a private organisation (FACT) was able to approach another private organisation (Equifax) with a name and acquire further details including a home address, without warrant or personal authorisation. C

This makes sense from a trademark perspective, you either protect it or lose it. However I think, particularly for a project that supposedly highly values open source, to go straight to lawyers is a very poor show on Docker Inc's part.

While it is good to see Adobe listening to customers, but I can't help the niggling feeling this is closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

I recently switched my personal box to FreeBSD. I honestly find it significantly easier to manage than Linux, and have greater trust in its reliability merely from its simplicity. The single biggest thing which stood out for me was PF (from

I've had this idea before, nice to see it implemented. The reason I've never pursued it as I'm not quite sure what the actual user experience or benefit over traditional 2FA systems is.

I agree. I could see this being, for lack of a better phrase, a gateway drug for some to the full power of the *NIX userland.

by jamescun 11y ago
Maybe I'm just old hat, but all the examples given I immediately thought of their *NIX equivalent. This doesn't appear to do anything above and beyond what our current tooling gives us (except perhaps 30 years less development).

SoftEther is an amazing piece of software. As mentioned I was a little dubious of it back when it was closed source and touted so many features. After going open source I trialled it on a small network (~40 users) and it was rock solid. My

I used to cycle past Telehouse Docklands (in East London, part of LINX IXP) as part of my daily commute. I was always struck by the lack of physical security; all that was visible was a typical warehouse fence and a couple of cameras. Howev

Every office hours session we had with Garry we came away buzzing, the man has an amazing ability to inject raw enthusiasm when you are questioning yourself the most. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors!

The Verge, TechCrunch and their website, and I still have no idea what their product is. They have an impressive team, that has been put across. Other than that, just buzz words.

My faith in Fastly was shaken after earlier this year, we experienced connections intermittently failed (HTTP 5xx) to any service behind Fastly (ours and third party) in our Amsterdam datacentre. We contacted their support but told us repea

I'm not an American, but I believe they are referring to the racist meme that associates fried chicken to Americans of non-white ethnicities. This differs from the UK where fried chicken is more associated with the lower classes than a

Back in the late 90s I had a Toshiba Satellite Pro 420 with the green nipple mouse. It was by far better than any touchpad that came along until very recently. (If anybody knows the actual term other than "nipple mouse" please let

It isn't explained in the README; but why is this approach better than a tried, tested and secure LDAP setup with SSH Keys? I understand LDAP can be quite obtuse to configure (particularly after OpenLDAP dropped config files), but once

Is the poor performance of Weave really surprising? Userland networking will always be lesser performing than that of native kernel networking (the show is somewhat better with technologies such netmap/PF_RING/DPDK). Weave itself
