You don't need a management daemon running though, and get a complete virtualized kernel that can be customized if needed.

I'm pretty sure ~/sdk is only used if you install Go versions using `go install golang.org/dl/<version>`

Looks like nginx vhosts or load balancing got screwed up? DNS is still all pointing to the normal CF hosts.

Oh yeah, man, FoxPro... for a year or so in 2008 I was responsible for a FoxPro database of music venues and artists for an agency. Felt really interesing to maintain a system that's older than me.

When we modernized all desktops in the office, I set up Win2k in Qemu on each of them, which loaded the FoxPro thing from a shared network mount. I'm just realizing 19-year-old me never checked if FoxPro supported simultaneous access. It surely did, at least I hope so :-)

edit: However, 19-year-old me was smart enough NOT to touch that Solaris or whatever-it-was server hosting the FoxPro thing.

I registered with RIPE this year, requested an IPv4 /24 in July, and got it immediately. I guess RIPE's last blocks depleted in November?

Market prices on the other hand have exploded this year, $50 per address isn't uncommon anymore.

I build them using Buildah, then mkfs.ext4, mount, cp, umount. It's a little bit annoying that I'm still using root at least for the mount part.

OpenWrt's build system has a method of building rootfs ext4 and squashfs images without any root, it's somewhere in that large Makefile mess.

(sorry, reposting this as I first replied to the wrong parent)

Ignite looked intruiging when I checked it out recently - but I need to import rootfs tarballs directly, without going through any registries. Any helpful pointers are appreciated :)

No support for PCI devices at the moment, but I believe it's planned for some point in the future.

I think performance is just a top priority as security, I remember how in their first whitepaper they already talked about how they batch up packets and stuff like that. Also the whole approach of kernelspace instead of userspace is just for performance.

Actually, I think in the beginning there was even a "marketing chart" with throughput numbers in addition to the chart with lines-of-code numbers?

Edit: performance being a top priority also makes sense strategically: if you want people to use secure software en-masse, then the experience needs to be stellar in UX and performance as well.

I was in the same boat regarding polluting my development environment - nowadays Steam's Wine/Proton stuff is completely containerized and just works ("Steam Runtime").

Yep, Waldorf Frommer, and District Court Koeln, fond memories :)

Ah I did not know that, thanks! - My dozen or so cases have always had a court order attached. Worrying that there are ISPs that hand out data without one...

They do need a court order, see my other comment
