  1. Wrote a silly script to showcase how to use unshare + chroot/pivot_root in order to manually enter a / without needing privileges:

    gist.github.com/mid-kid/9293f4

    I rarely see anyone mention how this can be done without needing to reach for or systemd-nspawn, and I think it's important to see how you can leverage the primitives that drive container technology.

    The script can be simplified, but not without sacrificing correctness. I hope the comments help.

  2. Any #BSD 'heads out there with lots of #Linux experience?

    What is your take on #chroot #jails versus #Docker #containers / #pods ?

    Talk to me like the last time I ran #FreeBSD in production was twenty years ago.
