   interacting with the container ecosystem makes me viscerally understand everyone who's ever expressed a desire to get up, go into the forest, and never come back

     @whitequark I love the forest so much I moved to western Oregon 40 years ago, but we even have the container ecosystem here now. 😈

     this is not a place of honor
     no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here
     what is here is dangerous and repulsive to us.

     many of these projects are extremely technically impressive & i wouldn't be caught dead running one in a production workload

     the only thing that sparks any amount of joy so far architecturally is gVisor, but i tried running it and all of the pieces seem to fall apart violently on my system in some way i struggle to comprehend

     @whitequark this diagram haunts me in my dreams when I think about some people forwarding big up/downloads over this.

     Big data. Through the userspace. Pinning a CPU core before saturating the link.

     @famfo it might work well (for some definition of), but i would not say that it is _done well_!

     @whitequark from my investigation they've all seemed like insane feats of engineering just to claw back basic properties that a capability-based system would have started with, and then they have their own complex bespoke systems for managing the resulting flexibility
