I mean, of course? Especially, why would I put ssh keys and similar in the container?

This still doesn't mean that one can install just any package, but it does make it much more difficult for it to do much harm. Breaking out of a container is not as trivial as it once was. That said, it is not a perfect solution, so I'd be happy to hear of better ones. Any suggestions?

Given what a dumpster fire npm ecosystem is security wise, it's best to run the whole build chain in a container anyway, at least for frontend apps. This way you also don't care about the chosen package manager or node.js version - you can just set it as you wish in the Dockerfile. It does take more disk space though, but to me it's a nice compromise.

Genuinly curious: do people in US report tips on their tax forms? (forgive my ignorance - tips are much less common around where I live)

Not a fan of Zoom myself, just - it seems to be used quite a lot around me. For me Jitsi is king for video conferencing.

Sorry about Jira. :)

There seem to be quite a few Europes around. The one I live in uses mostly Zoom, with some Teams, Skype, Slack and even Jitsi thrown in the mix.

Yeah, Teams is the worst of them in every dimension.

Lync is getting killed? Nice! Can we please take care of Teams next?

OSS actually sometimes does that - here is what we do, and hey, someone else is doing something similar.

True. It is just evidence that sometimes modern medicine doesn't have any superiority over quack medicines either.

Is there something like Oculus but... Well, in control of the user? Or at least less FB-y?

Me too. Had to go back to Windows at $JOB recently and find the experience... unpleasant, to put it mildly. I guess once you get used to a certain way it's difficult to change it. Hoping to get rid of Windows again soon. Can't imagine using W11, from what I've seen.

Heh, MS Teams... I wonder if the UX team is the same as for SharePoint. They both suck in a similar way - fortunatelly I can mostly avoid them both.

Or maybe they don't want to waste their time for users who can't even be bothered to type a few keys?

GUI is a great concept, but at some point, for more advanced operations, terminal simply makes more sense.

I am still hoping someone picks up development of uMatrix. NoScript is great, but just too tiresome to use on the modern web, while uMatrix has this genius UI where you can pick the allowed parts of the page easily and save the rules for later if needed. Highly recommend it, though it is sadly no longer supported. For now it works. :-/
