a chroot is different, but it’s an easy way to get an idea of what docker is:

it also contains all the libraries and binaries that reference each other, such that if you call commands they use the structure of the chroot

this is far more relevant to a basic understanding of what docker does than explaining kernel namespaces. once you have the knowledge of “shipping around applications including dependencies”, then you can delve into isolation and other kinds of virtualisation

and unfortunately for them a large number of the backup applications consist entirely of “attach a string to it”

i think the .id.au domain licensing rules are a pretty reasonable middle-ground:

https://www.auda.org.au/au-domain-names/the-different-au-domain-names/id-au-domain-names/

The id.au domain name you choose must match or be an acronym or abbreviation of your first name or family name, or your nickname

you have to provide ID to register any .au, so you’re verified as a person, and though they don’t pre-check your nickname, AFAIK if there’s a complaint you do have to prove that you’re “known by” that name

domain names do that for people with well known domain names, and verification processes do that for people without

okay, but pretty much anyone in software knows what CVE means, and anyone outside of software doesn’t need to know what CVE means… it’s almost as common in the professional context as CPU

absolutely true… we’re completely captured by the US that’s for sure

australia has pretty big uranium reserves; we just don’t really mine it because we are pretty anti-nuclear… our uranium is mined (10% of global supply) as a byproduct of other mining. if there were a deal made, we’d probably step up

also jam in there protections for AI training so they don’t have to deal with those pesky rent-seeking “authors”

this has been done in a few countries but running a government mastodon instance and giving departments and official accounts profiles… i kinda love that, but wish mastodon supported domains like bsky does

id love to have like education@gov.au, treasury@gov.au, etc but afaik the way mastodon works is you need to devote an entire domain to it, so they’d have to be like treasury@social.gov.au, which is kinda verbose :(

what about restricting use by governments?

people should make choices, governments should be sovereign in as many ways as possible imo… twitter has proven that it’s not an unbiased utility

or perhaps the “primary source of truth” must be elsewhere and may be shared to twitter, but governments must do whatever they can to ensure that citizens primary method of interaction is through sovereign sources - which may mean limited posting to twitter/meta etc, or it may mean marketing

wow yeah i hadn’t considered that

fucking ew

isn’t it only the difference above what you’re taxed in your country and what the US would tax?

and since the US tax rate is one of the lowest in the world, it almost never applies

i think it’s covered by the foreign tax credit

i thought it was just that if the country you’re in taxed you less than what the US would, then you have to pay the difference to the IRS?

… and there’s no way in hell the US taxes less than sweden (and for anyone that hasn’t had an ice pick lobotomy that’s a good thing)

*edit: foreign tax credit

well then even funnier if it were australia - literally as far away as possible - now that we’ve been tariffed too!
