Learning to manage an operating system in full, and having a healthy amount of paranoia, is a good first step.

You’ll set yourself up for success if you check the dependencies of anything you run, regardless of it being containerised. Use something like Snyk to scan containers and repositories for known exploits and see if anything stands out. Then

Very cool. I started using my IT and data management skills on film sets to provide data security around the footage. It’s been a breath of fresh air to use advanced concepts in a field that’s very hands on and a big team effort. A lot of c

You don’t learn in production. We’re talking about running production workloads here, not a localised lab. You can learn just fine locally with or without docker and other tooling that “eases” deployment of software. But when it comes to pr

Thanks for sharing and clarifying those details :) And yes, jails are way better, but here we are.

You couldn't be further from the truth, though. What you're saying here is: someone new to this simply uses Docker and everything just works and is fine. The support is heavily reduced (for you, not the user) and so everything is

From another commentator: "Lenovo T480s works great with FreeBSD." It was a Lenovo T480s :)

> FreeBSD doesn't afford you any more or less control over how the system works than Linux. And yet, I'm constantly patching and working around lib issues on Linux (on the desktop), but never with FreeBSD. That's the point

I think that’s true yeah.

Sigh. Yes. It’s the boring choice and therefore the better choice a lot of the time. Not all of the time, but most of the time. Impatience and lost skills is why it’s not a mainstream player.

Why does it have to? Why does everything have to supper everything? Why can’t a project have a focus on servers and that’s its “thing”? Also it’s OSS — contribute that support if you’re so passionate about it.

Linux is OK. It’s a mess compared to BSD, but it’s OK. It’s the lazy man’s solution. It’s mainly for people who only want to “docker compose up” and walk away. The art of the OS has been lost. People think the OS is something to be abstract

I’ve been using it in VMs just fine. Used it on my desktop just fine for a year. Used it on laptops just fine. You might have just hit a bad hardware setup that’s outside the scope of support. It happens.

For years and years to come. You’ll never need to update that box, frankly.

Lovely stuff. The industry would be so much better off if the family of BSDs had more attention and use. I run some EVE Online services for friends. They have manual install steps for those of use not using containers. Took me half a day to

I feel like you may never have used it. Would that be true?

I once upgraded a FreeBSD system from 8 to 12 with a single command. I don’t recall having to reboot — might have needed to. Can you give that shot for me on Linux? Could you spin up a Ubuntu 14 VM and do a full system update to 24.04 witho
