  • IMO, yes. Docker (or at least OCI containers) aren’t going anywhere. Though one big warning to start with, as a sysadmin, you’re going to be absolutely aghast at the security practices that most docker tutorials suggest. Just know that it’s really not that hard to do things right (for the most part[1]).

    I personally suggest using rootless podman with docker-compose via the podman-system-service.

    Podman re-implements the docker cli using the system namespacing (etc.) features directly instead of through a daemon that runs as root. (You can run the docker daemon rootless, but it clearly wasn’t designed for it and it just creates way more headaches.) The Podman System Service re-implements the docker daemon’s UDS API which allows real Docker Compose to run without the docker-daemon.


    1. If anyone can tell me how to set SELinux labels such that both a container and a samba server can have access, I could fix my last remaining major headache. ↩︎

    Technically neither of these are donations, but:

    I subscribe to Firefox VPN, and don’t actually even use it, just because I want to support them in a way where money could possibly towards FF dev and not just the Mozilla foundation (which can’t fun Mozilla corp work AFAIK).

    I also have a supporter subscription at https://neocities.org because I support his ideals. Plus I get dirt cheap, easy to use static hosting out of the deal.

    Edit: Oh, I guess humble bundle purchases might count, I do at least slide the sliders to make sure the charities get most of the money.

    Edit 2: Oh and the Calyx Institute, that’s actually a proper donation to a registered nonprofit. With my $400/year donation I get a 4G hotspot with actually unlimited data. (They also have a $500/year for an unlimited 5G hotspot, I just haven’t felt the need to upgrade since they started offering that.) I also use CalyxOS, so it’s nice to feel like I’m supporting that.





  • That’s not really possible with docker TBH, and I say that as a diehard Podman advocate. Docker, the tooling that you install with your package manager, is open source. Sure they have windows and mac desktop stuff that isn’t open, but it’s not like you’re self-hosting with that, right?

    Plus there’s always Podman to switch to, which can be a (mostly) drop-in replacement, if you want something with a more trustworthy provenience.

    OP is asking about userChrome.css, which applies to the style of the browser window itself, not webpage contents. Websites can’t view the markup for the browser window itself (which, fun fact is (mostly?) just HTML too), otherwise this would all be moot and they could just look at your list of tabs or your username in the menus.


  • Yep, I did exactly that. I passed a class because the prof graded on a curve, but if he hadn’t no one would have passed, so I learned nothing. I went and talked to the prof that was teaching it the next semester, just before classes started, and he said it was fine fine to sit in as long as I didn’t come on any of the test days.

    I suggest you go in person to ask, it might be something they’re not supposed to do, so if you ask in some way that leaves a paper trail, they might have to say no just to cover their ass.
