I missed this a few days ago:

The FreeBSD containers WG has raised a PR for the OCI container runtime spec to cover FreeBSD/jails-specific features.

This is, roughly speaking, the protocol between things like docker (moby) / containerd / podman and the container runtime (shim) such as ocijail / runj. Once this is approved, it paves the way for exposing the FreeBSD-specific features via the command line in tools like Podman, because they're stable and portable across runtimes.

And the reason I most care about this is that Postgres insists on still using SystemV shared memory (even if you're using mmap, it uses SysV shm for synchronisation), which is not enabled by default for jails. ocijail supports enabling it, but it isn't exposed in the podman command line yet.

I'm a bit fascinated by container homes.
They’ve grown in popularity as an affordable & eco-friendly alternative. This one is a more luxurious version with an upper floor made of wood on top of a shipping container. A creative example.

Unbelievable: I have blogged!!

Podfox: World's First Container-Aware Browser – this is the thing I was teasing here a few days ago, a couple little bits of tooling to make #podman dev #containers usable for a CLI addict like myself. The titular piece being, of course, a way to browse right to any port on any rootless container by DNS name in #Firefox! (Well, in any browser, but Firefox is the only browser out there.)

All this work is made possible thanks to your support

Meet Styrolite – an #opensource, low-level container runtime designed to address security & usability issues in Linux containerization.

What sets it apart? A programmatic API that lets developers create & manage containers securely and with precision.

Trump asks people in the US to wait and is ofcourse blaming Biden. I don't think people will believe him. Also the economic downturn is just beginning, in a few days/weeks companies will notice that containers from China are not arriving, more store shelves will be empty, etcetera.

No surprises here and this is just the beginning, the absence of some chinese goods, because chinese containers are not arriving, will become visible in a few days in the stores.

You can thank `bootc`, `/usr/lib/bootc/kargs.d/`, and @fiftydinar for your new ability to include kargs in your native container image.

Just make sure to update with `bootc` instead of `rpm-ostree`.

The mark latest and stable actions seem to work.

Moved some containers over to fedora:42, but stable for now is still at fedora:41 until automated tests have passed.

These tests happen on Tuesday, to allow enough time to enjoy an untroubled weekend.
