arpa··on Internet uptake has accelerated during the pandemic
I consider myself very well off. My internet is 4G and gets me about 15-20Mbps on a good day. I was considering starlink, but a set up fee of 600€ is a bit too much. Starlink is NOT feasible in developing countries. It's Elons' cash cow now.

This whole physical existence is suffering without end. It is literally the core of any being. Buddhism has a core imperative to either lessen the suffering (by not inflicting more of it), or to eradicate it altogether by means of final death in nirvana (escape from samsara). However, as any novice of buddhism knows, dogs simultaneously both possess buddha-nature and are unaware of it. In that sense, is actually knowing that to be is to suffer better or worse?

And as far as the fetish for anthropocentrism is concerned, it is a western religious thing deeply rooted in psychopatic (as opposed to empathic) abrahamic tradition, which proved to be a superior memeplex here.

(yeah it touches a nerve, doesn't it)

I've been on Linux since 2000s and still maintain the view that real men log in as root on tty1. It's ironman mode, and pure joy of *nix as it was meant to be experienced. You filthy casual. /s

when my history teacher told me that there was a verdict "ten years' shooting", I thought he was kidding. Apparently he was not. It means 10 years in gulag and then a bullet to the head, provided you survive that ordeal. Paroles, hah!

arpa··on Show HN: Windows 2000 on Docker
To be absolutely fair, the first adequate namespaces implementation came out in kernel version 3.8, so that puts us in 2013, when talking capabilities to run %process% in a "container". Admittedly, a few years later than illumos. But then again, illumos was just playing catch-up with *BSD back then, as jails were available since 2000 ;)

By the way, what is your primary motivation for using illumos? genuinely curious.

Did you mean linux? because docker is just an interface foe cgroups, namespaces and chroot.
arpa··on Show HN: Windows 2000 on Docker
cool! I've never considered running qemu in a container. This project is a matroska on actual windows systems, as docker runs/used to run in VM (has WSL changed that?). So VM->Docker->VM. You could probably also run windows-something that supports Docker and run the same image. Oh this gives me baaaaad ideas. Thank you, OP
