Rootless (podman) containers. What are the security advantages versus launched-as-root-but-container-runs-as-nonroot ? Is it just the reduced surface area of the podman binary doing the launching, before dropping privileges? Is there something more?

Rootless (podman) containers. What's the performance hit (if any) for networking versus non-rootless containers?

@ttyS1 that’s a very good point. (And I think their rules exclude most blogs as primary sources, too!)

@kev I referenced a blog post of yours in one of mine, but I haven't got WebMentions (or equivalent) set up right now so I'm manually tooting to let you know instead. https://jmtd.net/log/blog_after_death/

@neil @vbabka @brunogirin the market price varies wildly. I’ve paid ~£30 at one time and ~£60 at another (but never £100)

@neil that’s a good deal. I very recently paid £200 for a thinkpad yoga 260, which is similar ish but hard limited to 8G

@Edent it would be really interesting to get them standardised somewhere, perhaps CommonMark. I’ve used several markdown engines over the years and none agreed on the finer points for footnotes (if they supported them at all)

Refreshing to see an integrated vendor acknowledge 3rd party apps for their devices, and not throw down lots of "do not install this" caveats everywhere https://remarkable.guide/faqs.html#can-i-downgrade-to-a-different-os-version

Recommend me some #3dprinting blogs or feeds!

@GustavinoBevilacqua sounds like an excellent candidate for a “help wanted”-style first pull request!

@mhoye $dayjob-1 scheduled incident retrospectives over lunch (not catered). If it was intentional it’d a bit Evil Genius, but I suspect it wasn’t.

@sldrant @neil @dragon @Linux_in_a_Bit the cursor at 30Hz is also a wart for me, but I wonder if I could get used to it. For my work it wouldn’t matter for anything else either

Do the pimaroni e-ink displays support writing to them without doing a full refresh? I can’t see that this is possible from their MicroPython layer on top but perhaps that’s not a hardware limitation

@MaryPot I don’t see how the all caps bit in any way contradicts what I wrote, but if you’re happy to unpack I’m happy to read

@freddy @mhoye I find it hard even on 10” eink devices. It’s telling that sometimes you must submit single column, double spaced, large font size for reviewers

@mhoye to the last question: utterly captured by market interests :(
