@stevelord as much as I love those tools (well not so much tex) they are damned heavyweight on disk!

@csepp @kevin can’t it be both?

I’m thinking about a creative writing project. Can anyone recommmend me a suitable Fediverse/mastodon host to write “in character”?

@fabinou hello Fab 🌊 welcome to the Fediverse

@fanf it doesn’t, no: so the risk surface (for launching as uid 0) is just whatever it does before spawning the (non-uid 0) container subprocess (plus anything that lingers. I see it might spawn a sidecar “conmon” process for example).

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?

Long overdue spring cleaning of my personal mail setup

“Her next role is in The Second Woman at the Young Vic, a gruelling 24-hour performance that consists of a single scene repeated 100 times on a loop, 4pm until 4pm. While Wilson stays in the role of Virginia, successive actors – old, young, professional, amateur – will play her long-term lover Marty as he is breaking up with her.”

Wow

Idle thought. A blade runner 2049 point and click adventure would be lovely.

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/
