Appologies if I am unclear. > why are you trying to create FUD about how Alpine Linux is unmaintainable, unsustainable, and insecure? I never tried to make that claim. What I am trying to say is that if YOU built YOUR software against Al

A filtering proxy takes many more CPU cycles than this solution. This is a lot more efficient.

Alpine Linux supporting selinux is only relevant in this discussion if you run Alpine as the container host. To the Alpine containers it is of no consequence. OpenBSD has more than a great track record on security, maintainability, communit

Grsecurity is a patch on Linux. The kernel. As far as I know this does nothing for a container unless your container host runs Alpine.

A huge community and installable packages does not mean you need to use all those packages. The smallest container I've built is about 90MB, using Ubuntu. That is pretty lightweight. Of course, the container doesn't actually do an

But that is perfectly fine! That only means that you cannot have an automated install procedure that the company can rely on. There is really nothing wrong with a little manual labour at this stage. Do not spend weeks and weeks on automatin

Well, no. But IMHO, iron is only do-able if you have enough of it. This I learned the hard way at my previous contract, where we only had a handful of servers and all of them production. When you want to automate your complete infra, includ

That's where iLO comes in. iLO is horrible, but you can ssh to it and set all manner of stuff. When we didn't have PXE, we had a script that told iLO to boot from CD, and that the CD was located at http://something&#x2F

I'm surprised everyone is still installing to disk. In 2008/2009, we had a POC where we ran the OS from memory after booting over PXE. * boot a live image into memory * point LXD/RKT/Docker to /containers

Anyone know how this impacts the e-mail functionality of Seamonkey? (I've actually started using Seamonkey again on a whim. The last couple of weeks. Somehow, browsing feels more snappy with Seamonkey than with Firefox.)

Because the comment has nothing to do with the parent. The fact that uBlock uses ABP lists is completely irrelevant. People choose uBlock because it uses compute resources more efficiently. Regardless of the list.

The point is, however, that a phone is not a luxury item. This article[1], in Dutch, explains that in order to get anywhere a phone is a necessity. Maps, GPS and communication. And not just texts (SMS), but photos and WhatsApp-groups to org
