Not really, with Linux it's the same as it would be in BSD if they wanted to avoid conflicts with GPL. You put that code in an optional module and have the user compile it. I am un…

>You can add an escrow system or even use a reputation-based approach as a way to manage fraud, but the idea is that it is optional. If all you want is to buy some cheap and fast c…

I can't see how that is the point, I honestly don't understand what cryptocurrency provides there at all. I've seen nothing about it that suggests it has some kind of novel solutio…

That has not been my experience. The issues are with licenses other than BSD but that's the same in Linux; Linux can also use BSD code, a lot of Linux code is actually dual license…

Docker wasn't dead 5 or 6 years ago when I heard about this. In my experience some things are easier to implement in Linux and some are easier to implement in BSD. I don't particul…

Sorry, then I must be remembering some other issue. The effort to port docker to BSD seems to have disappeared. >And yes, having to use root is a major issue. Looks fixable though.…

FWIW I think the goal has been to put security in some other layer that's more appropriate. You can add those type of APIs to Wayland but you'd have to also implement a security me…

Side note: I suppose you could chroot to /.

Any mechanism that allows you to listen to hotkeys at will is about as insecure as running a program as root that snoops keys; either way you're vulnerable to keyloggers. The X imp…

This comment isn't really correct all, it's not possible to do that with the architecture of X. The best you can get is XSecurity and its related extensions, anything more than tha…

Open source doesn't really work like that, there is no top-down decision maker setting priorities for what should be done in any given distribution. Usually what happens is you wai…

I don't see why. BSD and GPL are equally compatible, it doesn't matter which way you go. I can see why they wouldn't want a GPL component to be mandatory but it can be made an opti…

Not anymore, unprivileged user namespaces make it so you don't have to do that. That's how podman's "rootless containers" are able to work.

In my experience, both Linux developers and BSD developers don't seem to care too much about porting things to the other's operating system. If you want to do things the Linux way …

I haven't tested runj but just from looking at it, it seems it is not fully compatible with everything that runc does because the OCI itself specifies a lot of Linux-specific funct…

I'm using them for several things but the most straightforward one is probably that namespacing can be gradually added to services, you most likely see benefits from this already i…

You can just compare the APIs, namespaces are like the individual components of a jail. You can use them to build something like a jail, or something different that has a different…

And all the other ones: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/namespaces.7.html BSD jails are similar but not quite the same thing.
