I prefer the winter. Can we trade places?

It's 8:30am and already 17 degrees here. Looks like we're in for a high of 28 degrees with a "feels like" of 32. Not as bad as some of the days we've had recently.

I've always been more of a summer person & love all of the activities associated with the season. Swimming, hiking, camping, etc. Now if we could just find a way to rid ourselves of mosquitoes & black flies...

In the winter I tend just to hibernate & wait for warmer weather. Never been into skiing, snowmobileing or tobogganing.

It freezing here and the forecast for the next 7 days looks just as poor :(

Been working from home today, not such much playing with computers as having
to do stuff on them to keep my manager happy :)

Sure I'll box it up and have it shipped over. Hang a tic... :)

Here I don't mind the cold (to a degree) but when it's a few months of it I'm ready for spring to come...

I'm more the warm up from cold kinda guy as opposed to cool down from hot. I
do think depending on where folks sit on that scale does dictate where they
are happy to live (or not).

We'll be done with it in a few months and then we'll send it back your way.. :)

I think it's getting warmer here now, but this morning we got up early
for a drs appointment, and it was freezing cold.

Ah yeah, I always say "playing with computers" but really it's serious business. Well..

I set up this BBS in a pkgsrc zone on omnios, as far as I can tell a zone
is a bit like a virtual machine, but it has access to files on the host
as well and a kind of overlay for the zone specific stuff. So I have a
zone for this bbs and a zone for a wiki i have.

Anyway, a bit of fun I suppose.

I think Solaris/BSD zones are akin to docker on linux?

Now I understand why my relatives moved from Invercargill to Western
Australia many moons ago. Not a NZ expert but I think Invercargill is not too far from where you are. Cold gets old :-)

Not really, more like VMs than docker, any changes you make in the zone
are persisted. It's kind of like a lightweight VM, root is it's own ZFS
data set, but depending on the brand of zone to what is shared.

Is it still the hosts kernel?

Does the zone have its own emulated devices (namely network I guess), or is it sharing the hosts devices (and in the case of networking the hosts IP)?

This site seems to compare the two fairly well.

Yeah, as I thought - while there isnt too much technical info in that link, docker, bsd jails and solaris zones are conceptially the same. The implementation or execution may be slightly different...

They use the hosts kernel to provide a global service (scheduling, networking, access to devices, isoliation/security), etc but provide a "box" to run your app in - with the idea that one box cannot talk to another box (unless you give
it permission to do so).

As you know, I'm a fan of docker, mainly because of portability and speed. I can spin up another "box" pretty quickly (seconds) anywhere there is a docker engine. (EG: I spun up another Hub 3 on the same Pi to test my hpt perl integration, so that I dont break the real Hub while debugging it...)

From that blog post, (although its 2016), Solaris were going to adopt some speed capability that you get with docker. I imagine ZFS will help with that.
