LXC and LXD: a different container story
OCI containers are the most popular type
of Linux container, but they are not the only type, nor were they the
first. LXC (short for "LinuX
Containers") predates Docker by several years, though it was also not the
first. LXC dates back to its first release in 2008; the earliest version of
Docker, which was tagged in 2013, was actually a wrapper around LXC.
The LXC project is still going strong and shows no signs of winding
down; LXC 5.0 was released in July and comes with a promise of support until
2027.
Becoming a Well-Differentiated Leader
Last week we discussed Edwin Friedman’s theory of what makes groups dysfunctional. Friedman laid out his ideas in A Failure of Nerve and based them on the “Bowen family systems theory.” He posited that many modern families, organizations, and even nations have an emotional system characterized by “chronic anxiety” — a high level of tension/nervousness that the […]

Why Remote Works
There are many books about remote work, some of which I’ve even read (e.g. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]). There are also countless blogs and podcasts on the subject, I’ve gone through too many to list. After working remotely for 4 companies over 5 years, interviews with hundreds of others, managing fully remote teams, interviewing hundreds of employees for remote roles, chatting with thousands of remote workers, and voyeuring the activities of many amazing remote teams, I concluded that, to my surprise, I need to write a different take about why, when and how remote work is worth it.

6 Simple and Useful PostgreSQL Features that I wish I knew when I started
I use PostgreSql a lot in my working time. So recently, I spent some time refreshing and deepening my knowledge of PostgreSQL to improve my skills and experience in using it (writing and optimizing queries, creating new objects, etc.). And I found many awesome features and syntax sugar constructions that can tremendously ease your daily routine and eliminate problems that may appear while resolving sophisticated tasks. In this article, I will try to review 6 PostgreSql traits that seem to me the most important and easy-usable in a clear and brief way.
A pair of Rust kernel modules
The idea of being able to write kernel code in the Rust language has a
certain appeal, but it is hard to judge how well that would actually work
in the absence of examples to look at. Those examples, especially for
modules beyond the "hello world" level of complexity, have been somewhat
scarce, but that is beginning to change. At the 2022 Kangrejos gathering
in Oviedo, Spain, two developers presented the modules they have developed
and some lessons that have been learned from this exercise.
