I was inspired by https://jvns.ca/blog/2021/01/23/firecracker--start-a-vm-in-less-than-a-second/ and wanted to try out making a #firecracker #vm from a Dockerfile myself. Got it all up and running. But, as you'd expected from a hobby project, it's lacking a lot of polish. So I took a step back and started thinking if I could maybe opt for using BSD #jails instead? Any tips for how to get started with #jails as a long time Docker user?
"I Do" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter #LisaLoeb. Released on October 14, 1997, as the lead single from her second album, #Firecracker (1997), "I Do" peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Loeb's second-highest charting single after her number-one debut single, "#Stay(IMissedYou)" (1994). In Canada, "I Do" gave Loeb her second number-one hit, after "Stay". This song was her last top-20 single in both countries.

I always appreciate #StevenHeller's insights. This look at some historical elements of #firecracker packaging #design is quite interesting and insightful.

I spent a bit of time looking over the docs of Fly.io.
It caught my attention a few days ago due to a blog post that mentioned their very fast VM start times:
https://fly.io/blog/fly-machines/
Having fast-starting #Firecracker #VM managed by somebody else is catnip for me: it's perfect for safely running https://dropserver.org appspaces.
@b0rk tried to DIY a setup but it's hard to do well: https://jvns.ca/blog/2021/01/23/firecracker--start-a-vm-in-less-than-a-second/
Unfortunately, taken as a whole, I found some issues with the Fly.io offering:

How Codesandbox uses #Firecracker #MicroVMs. Interesting to see Amazon's investments in reinventing the fundamentals spurring innovation.

Very interesting read from the #CodeSandbox blog
How we clone a running #VM in 2 seconds (September 2022)
https://codesandbox.io/blog/how-we-clone-a-running-vm-in-2-seconds
Amongst others, they are using #Firecracker and memory snapshots with Copy-On-Write to achieve this level of #performance
Very interesting and it clearly shows that even very complicated things that require a lot of heavy lifting can be made _blazingly fast_!
There is no excuse for software being slow! Make it #fast!

As I still can't upload even one picture, I used the "draw " function. Hahaha.
So this is the Picasso version of the dog that lives with me.
Mudi x Galgo mix, today with 40mg Diazepam. And still in panic outside, inside confused, insecure.
The pic tries to show a Mudi (black curly hair) with the body of a galgo.

My brain today: Oh, you wanted to just use #firecracker on your #nomad clusters? 🤣 Let me show you this shiny open sourced thing from #cloudflare called #workerd. 😎 You know, so you can write everything with a target of #wasm. Thus adding just an extra layer of containers to your system. 😉
