I think I can hear John Siracusa cheering from the other side of the pond.

Exactly. A timezone-range would be the preferred method. Countries are too limited and continents to broad as their timezone can range more than 4 hours.

Docker is the monolith of container runtimes. I think it’s a step backwards to have a monolithic application like Docker controlling your container runtime when you’ve gone through…

The team at CoreOS came to a similar conclusion: > Docker has demonstrated that it is on a path to include many facilities beyond basic container management, turning it into a comp…

To answer your first two questions: 1. TLS is the successor to SSL; setup your webserver with a certificate and redirect web traffic from HTTP to HTTPS. 2. UUIDs have some advantag…
