Happy winter solstice! I used to like Christmas but current version of geopolitics and christo fascists really nerfed the joy of Christmas. Maybe they'll release a patch fix by next year

Oh man, I love flying over the Pacific Ocean (during the day). There's just so much nothing but water. It's kind of astounding.

Try a cruise with at least one sea day

Seconding this. If you're into it, it's pretty awe-inspiring to see open water all the way to the horizon, 360°.

I feel like Christmas is so secularized and commercialized that it doesn't have a lot to do with Christianity anymore.

I'm not saying this as a bad thing; I'm not and have never been religious but I still love Christmas.

Color me confused, but what do containers add to FreeBSD beyond jails? Jails have their own IP addresses and root filesystem, plus they use the host OS's version of libc and OpenSSL/LibreSSL and all the other core utils. Is it the convenience utilities for building and running container images?

I was joking. There is no container. (We don't use jails either.)

But alas, FreeBSD does support OCI container images! It supports Podman and has an OCI-compliant runtime:

https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/oci-containers-on-freebsd...

However, I still can't pinpoint what the value proposition is compared to using jails. Is there anybody around here able and willing to shed some light? I know I didn't use Cunningham's Law to start the conversation like a clever netizen but maybe, just this once, a good faith response to a good faith question is possible.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Being a non-Christian and it being Christmas time, I am sharing one verse from the New Testament that is, in my opinion, useful - or at the very least, insightful - to anyone, regardless of religion. Luke 16:10: He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.

Truth. You can evaluate a lot about someone from the details they give attention to, and what they ignore. It's not a hard and fast rule, but helpful in determining who you can trust with work, important things in your life (including your self), etc.
