When a Stranger Syscalls: Quirks of jail(2)
runj is an OCI runtime for FreeBSD jails. Until recently, it relied on the jail(8) command to actually set up and manage the jail in the FreeBSD kernel. It had been a to-do item on my list for a long ...

(6) This idea that democrats should abandon trans people and immigrants and climate change (in 2025!) is just unconscionably dumb.
Declaring “I’m focused on prescription drug prices” sounds like pandering because it IS pandering. Everyone can tell.

Great explainer as to why the Shoah is so specifically associated with Jews, even as millions of others were targeted and murdered.
Antisemitism isn't the belief that Jews are evil. It's the belief that evil is Jewish - every evil in your midst goes back to the Jews and evil must be rooted out.

Yes. Unfortunately a lot of people ask that question not in good faith.
The answer is that the Nazis killed a lot of people but specifically targeted Jews and Roma for immediate and organized murder. Lots of Slavs were murdered but in a much more haphazard way.

The FreeBSD extensions got merged into the OCI Runtime Spec today! This is another step on the way to bringing the container ecosystem to FreeBSD. runj will add support for this soon (most of the work is already done): github.com/opencontaine...
Add FreeBSD as a platform by dfr · Pull Request #1286 · opencontainers/runtime-spec

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?
You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Jewish law & Bible scholarship don't think the word in the 10 Commandments for "steal" is about, like, shoplifting.
Look at eg Genesis 40:15, Exodus 21:16 , Deuteronomy 24:7--
the commandment is not to steal people. Don't kidnap.
Though you shouldn't need the Bible to teach you that. #AbolishICE

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.
The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

To anyone disabled, pregnant, prone to eating disorders, blood sugar issues, on meds that require food etc: Yom Kippur rules are very clear. You must NOT fast if it will hurt your health. Don’t believe me? Believe Chabad, even they say so. Judaism doesn’t want you to endanger your health.
What is the procedure for one who must eat on Yom Kippur?
Just as a healthy person fulfills a mitzvah by fasting; an ill person does a mitzvah by eating.
