   The best cloud platform out there

   You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.

   👍 Pros:    Great documentation|Website structure visualization|You have control over everything|Flexibility

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve|A lot of dashboards for different things

• Deployments in the Agentic Era

  Today, we are entering the Agentic Era.

• Your Server Just Caught Fire – But Your App’s Still Running: The EC2 Superpower

  Introduction Imagine this: You run a small e-commerce site. It’s Black Friday, traffic is flooding in… and your main server suddenly crashes. Normally, this means lost sales, angry customers, and a long night for your IT team. But with Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), your app keeps running because your servers aren’t tied to a single machine — they live in the AWS cloud, spread across multiple data... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Vet is a safety net for the risky curl | bash pattern

  There are some more obvious things you should do (in order): 1. Have backups. You are running software all the time that can corrupt your files either maliciously or, more likely, accidentally. It doesn't really matter where it comes from, 2. Get into the habit of running things in sandboxes. You don't need anything magical here, a separate (unprivileged) user account is a good enough sandbox for many things. I... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Announcing Styrolite: A New Low Level Container Runtime for Linux

  Ariadne Conill, Founder and Distinguished Engineer at Edera, highlighted the necessity for a new low-level container runtime in a recent blog post. Existing solutions like Bubblewrap and util-linux’s unshare rely heavily on complex command-line interfaces or lack the required programming control, making them error-prone. In contrast, high-level solutions like Kubernetes' Container Runtime Interface (CRI) abstract... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

  Another thing to look at is bubblewrap (https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap), which is what implements the sandboxing in Flatpak. It's handy on it's if you want to run a command from your host in a particular sandbox as kind of a one-off. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• HardenedBSD Feature Comparison with OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD

  > Not requiring the cooperation of developers to opt-in, for starters. True, meaningful in the general case, and completely irrelevant in this particular case, which started with specifically the question of OpenBSD applying the protection in question to its own base system. I actually agree that being able to externally impose a sandbox is super useful, but self-imposed restrictions are perfectly applicable in... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
