| DaemonFC | Containers probably aren't that interesting. | Sep 03 10:12 |
| schestowitz-pi | i did not use them | Sep 03 10:12 |
| schestowitz-pi | alpine is one | Sep 03 10:12 |

| schestowitz-pi | when you have a server with 150 cores | Sep 03 10:13 |
| schestowitz-pi | you can have VMs or containers | Sep 03 10:13 |

| techrights-[sec] | The news black out on the Windows breaches at UMich seem to be causing the | Sep 03 12:17 |

| techrights-[sec] | the result of an intentional strategy. There is no new public information | Sep 03 12:17 |
