Linux out of all those three is very specific in that it can be configured to be perfectly secure and, at the same time, if you explicitly ask it to shoot you in the foot, it will. Generally the out-of-the-box experience of Ubuntu and Fedor

Yup, both have their uses. If you use a clipboard manager or have the clipboard synchronized between devices/remote desktops/VMs, the primary selection comes in handy for stuff you don't exactly want saved to disk, crossing

Virtualization.framework was introduced in Big Sur. It builds on top of Hypervisor.framework and is essentially Apple's QEMU (in some ways quite literally, it implements QEMU's pvpanic protocol for example). Before QEMU and other

All boils down to the kind of DPI you're trying to work around, but generally the most common encrypted or otherwise difficult to process protocols strike me as the most preferable. RTP isn't a bad choice, especially the WebRTC fl

That's an interesting protocol choice, especially given the purpose. SMTP is probably the most filtered protocol on residential networks, SMB being a runner-up.

That really depends on the context. Open your browser's Developer Tools and you'll see logical sizes everywhere. Android, which in my opinion has the best scaling model, and where the PPI wildly varies from device to device, nearl

These days, as most take 1x scaling factor for 96 PPI (or 72 if you're Apple), yes, but at the very beginning, there was no such reference. 100x100 without the density could have meant 10x10 or 100x100 inches. Some software, most notab

Really cool! Will definitely take a closer look in my spare time. >I just let userspace do i/o ports [...] and do memory mapped i/o by letting it mmap anything (more or less). The kernel manages timers/timekeeping and inte

Erlang! Indeed a crazy idea (in a good way!), and while I'm not normally a big fan of unikernels, now you've got me seriously intrigued :) I've been dabbling in Erlang and OS development myself, my biggest inspirations being

Print was always density-independent. This didn't translate into high-density displays, however. The web, at least how I remember it, for the longest time was "best viewed in Internet Explorer at 800x600", and later 1024x768,

This is indeed similar in the effects, but completely different in the cause to the phenomenon referenced in the article (device pixel ratio vs pixel aspect ratio). What you're referring to stems from an assumption made a long time ago

>Before HD, almost all video was non-square pixels Correct. This came from the ITU-R BT.601 standard, one of the first digital video standards authors of which chose to define digital video as a sampled analog signal. Analog video never

I see, you're providing a complementary perspective. I appreciate that, and indeed, Docker isn't always evil. My intention was to bring attention to the abuse of it and compare it to virtualization of unikernels, which to me appea

by m132 10mo ago
To be honest, I've read your response 3 times and I still don't see where we disagree, assuming that we do. I've mostly focused on the worst Docker horrors I've seen in production, extrapolating that to the future of co

I think it's fine if you do it for yourself. It's a bit of a poor man's Linux-turned-microkernel solution. In fact, I work like this too, and this extends to my Apple Silicon Mac. The separation does have big security advanta

Yes. There are AppContainers. Those have existed for a while and are mostly targeted at developers intending to secure their legacy applications. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/a

I can understand the public cloud argument; if the cloud provider insists on you delivering an entire operating system to run your workloads, a unikernel indeed slashes the amount of layers you have to care about. Suppose you control the en

Projects like this and Docker make me seriously wonder where software engineering is going. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to criticize Docker or Toro in parcicular. It's the increasing dependency on such approaches that bo

Yes! In an era where most development-oriented software is downloaded with wget/git clone/[package manager] install, this whole process feels like a slap in the face. And don't get me wrong, this is still a huge upgrade over

Hey, could you please post a link to the thread you're referring to? I'm guessing it had to do with the io-pkt to io-sock transition, but I couldn't find any information about that. I've also noticed that all of the mess

Out of curiosity, do you mean Linux on bare metal, or Linux on top of QVM? The latter is actually a common setup, used by Mercedes-Benz and Hangsheng if I'm not mistaken.

QT is supported too, and actually upstream! https://hackaday.com/2017/05/03/your-next-desktop-qnx/ Granted, this is not the full Plasma shell, but you can run a lot of KDE software on it just fine.
