Ignoring the multiuser issue, could not some javascript be injected that displays "crash" instructions (or even just closes the tab) in the event the server becomes unresponsive? I'm not a web dev, but this sounds feasible.

It does though, assuming that machina is doing virtualization for zircon. Or am I confused? If I'm understanding correctly, this would work the same way that the GNU/Linux termina VM is booted when using crostini currently.

This! Open source helps protect users' freedoms. However, I am sympathetic when you're talking about software that needs to be run server side. Because in that case, you almost always have to deploy and manage the infrastructure y

That's fair. What I really want to know is how systemd-nspawn compares to LXC. Reading further, I see that LXD uses liblxc for container management. This comment about LXD using lxc command naming also was helpful: https://n

Does anybody know of a recent (given how quickly this space moves) comparison of LXD vs systemd-nspawn? I assume that the latter has less features given the primary reason for its existence is to test systemd, but I'd love to know more

I've often gone out of my way to encourage people who want to message me to use hangouts in order to have a better chatting experience (versus SMS). And since I have Google Fi, the hangouts integration was perfect such that people who

If you're using notmuch and Gmail, I'd recommend taking a look at gmailieer - https://github.com/gauteh/gmailieer . It uses the Gmail API to fetch mail into a local maildir and keeps the tags synced bidirectio

I worked at Digium from 2008-2011. Digium employed some really great programmers and I obtained a solid starting foundation for my career as a developer hacking on Asterisk in C. Definitely enjoyed my time there. Going back to around that t

How so? The loss of rewards is the same reason I don't use Simple, even though from the outside looking in it appears to be one of the best modern banks.

Visual Studio Code's performance is impressive versus Atom. However, there's always room for improvement and I really hope with the Github acquisition that this next generation Atom project is incorporated: https://gith

Firefox seems to be doing pretty well with their incremental rewrite into rust. I do wonder how long it will take to complete the transition versus doing a complete rewrite instead.

Lots of comments here about being upset over the trend of headphone jack removal in both camps. I know advertising is... just that, but I'm still disappointed in Google's ad for the first Pixel phone (started at 43s): https:&#x2F

My understanding is that using SQLite is completely fine in a multithreaded architecture, but you have to ensure that the simultaneous database operations match the correct threading mode: https://sqlite.org/threadsafe.html

Similarly, there's tmate which sets up a shared tmux session and proxies the SSH connection so it works through NAT without issue. If you don't trust the connection going through tmate.io you can set up your own server.

I can't keep up with the number of stripped down operating systems designed to do little else than run containers (most of the time OCI compliant containers only). At least in this case Intel and Hyper are working together.

First of all, cool project. Looks very nice. And kudos to nba.com for making their data so easily accessible via JSON (and perhaps other methods, didn't look too closely). Personally, I have little interest in sports in general. And I
