No bud, you are burned out. You give too much shit about what is ultimately someone else's business and company. If you don't stop doing that, you will be burned out no matter where you go and what you do.

#332Earlier quoted context omitted.
I love lxc/lxd. Its really a shame that there is little to no interest by the lxd team in supporting the oci container format.
I assume you're referring to the OCI image format (not the runtime spec). This is because the OCI image format doesn't quite meet what they want for LXD -- in particular the whole layering design that OCI uses (which was inherited from Docker) is simply wrong for them. In fact there is a strong argument that the layering design doesn't even match what OCI really wants (it effectively embeds an optimisation for "docke…
Yeah I am aware of the oci-template. I was mostly thinking of discussions like this[1] where Stéphane says there are no plans to support anything like that in LXD.
I find the distinction between "system containers" and "application containers" to be a bit arbitrary from a technical perspective. What does it matter what I'm running as PID 1? I find both system containers and application containers to be useful.
It seems like LXD would see larger adoption if it were easy to run docker container images directly (built into the LXD tooling).

#333I'm a recovering security guy. When I listen to security people rant, I can see their points and it's a bit of fun, I like a good rant. But I get the impression that they're continuously discovering new and exciting ways that individual facets of individual pieces of software (and the processes around them) suck. All without ever accepting that the entirety of the software ecosystem sucks (and that they're rarely mov…
> and that they're rarely moving the needle on that front This is key. They're not the ones pushing to replace C/C++, even though you'd think that would logically follow. In that way, infosec is the DEA of IT.
I'm supplying a +1 for this comment because it's hilarious to think of our industry as useless as the DEA.

#334The lesson is so simple and it's all over the place: in the late term economic cycle, economical interest doesnt align with the ones of the individual.
Economy have to growth, create artificial scarcity, complexity, jobs, etc, and after a while this gets so easy to spot that starts to annoy, normally from this phase you end up in a global war in fact, so at least wont last! XD

#335>I'm mad that I sat on a call representing my company's (not cloud native) cloud offering listening to Cisco tell us that the only way to get logs from god damned IRONPORT in the cloud was to use syslog! OVER THE INTERNET. FOR SECURITY LOGS. Why is this an issue? This is how syslog works on literally every device ever, you set a destination and it streams it over UDP with optional authentication/encryption. If you wa…
Syslog is a plain text protocol. Sending that over the internet kinda defeats the purpose of security logging. The problem isn’t with syslog (although like the post says, syslog is still a problem for security). The problem is syslog over the internet.
