Suboptimal ways to respond to a public security incident
(lemmy.stuart.fun)
This issue is already quite widely publicized and quite frankly "we're handling it and removing this" is a much more harmful response than I would hope to see. Especially as the admins of that instance have not yet upgraded the frontend version to apply the urgent fix.
It's not like this was a confidential bug fix, this is a zero day being actively exploited. Please be more cooperative and open regarding these issues in your own administration if you're hosting an instance. 🙏
OCI uses Dockerfiles and runs Docker images as docker images are just KVM image, which is what OCI runs. Nix is absolute overkill for the orchestration of a web server workload and would be better for managing the container host (whatever you're running kubernetes or docker swarm on).
I don't really know how to put this, but nearly every single web service you encounter and interact with is built using a dockerfile just like how Lemmy is doing. If you're going to disqualify Lemmy as a viable platform based on it having a dockerfile, I got bad news
I thought KVM was virtualisation, as in separate kernels.
And I thought containers shared the hosts kernel. Essentially an "overlay os".
So, a KVM could virtualise different hardware and CPU architectures.
Whereas a container can only use what the host has
