Deploying Containers on NixOS: A Guide (bkiran.com)
Managing infrastructure on your own machine can be cumbersome and scary. Much of the rhetoric out there would have you believe that it’s not possible or very dangerous to run and manage your own server. There have been some great advances with tools like containers(Docker and Podman) and NixOS that makes this easier than ever.

Flox, a better alternative to Dev Containers (medium.com)
On paper, Dev Containers are great to define and share development environments easily. Actually using them is not that great: lack of reproducibility, integrating host files in containers, difference in implementations between various tools…

Ask HN: Kernel Containers (security like VMs, perf like LXC) (ycombinator.com)
Frustrated by our own performance challenges with Kata Containers, we have developed a new hypervisor from scratch that can run each Docker container in isolation (i.e., no shared host kernel), and with native performance (i.e., no virtualization runtime overhead or cold starts).

Picking Glibc Versions at Runtime (blogsystem5.substack.com)
In a recent work discussion, I came across an argument that didn’t sound quite right. The claim was that we needed to set up containers in our developer machines in order to run tests against a modern glibc. The justifications were that using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load a different glibc didn’t work and statically linking glibc wasn’t possible either.
