FreeBSD has supported jails since the early 2000s!
They’re baked into the kernel and far more mature than most container runtimes.

As more and more modern #Linux distributions drop native support for X in favor of Wayland, may we #neverforget the giants on whose shoulders we stand.
For some reason, the algorithm in its wisdom, saw fit to show me this old video today. The algorithm is never wrong. So here you go.

Check out this awesome donation from our supporter Evgeny! This is an #𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘬𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘬𝘢 𝘉𝘒 (Электроника БК) 0010 computer from a parallel-dimension where the #PDP-11 was sold as a general-purpose home #computer in #Russia. But actually, it's real! We're working to preserve more foreign tech at Bloop, so get in touch if you have anything!

Did you know that the 'NT' in Windows NT stood for "Nine Ten"?
The intended core platform for the OS was the then-expected Intel i910 RISC processor, which was to be the rebranded moniker for the i860 that can be found in the wild. *
It never came to be due to the i860s terrible handling of context switching -- a capability that a CPU for a multitasking, multiuser workstation OS must be able to do _very_efficiently_. The i860 wasn't.

*** EDIT: Several have pointed to sources indicating differently that NT stood for N10, which was the codename for the i860, so -- N10, N-Ten > NT.
