How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-Like Container from Scratch

news.ycombinator.com Ivan Velichko 2025-09-23 09:37:52

One of the superpowers of containers is their isolated filesystem view - from inside a container it can look like a full Linux distro, often different from the host. Run docker run nginx , and Nginx lands in its familiar Debian userspace no matter what Linux flavor your host runs. But how is that illusion built? In this post, we'll assemble a tiny but realistic, Docker-like container using only stock Linux tools: unshare , mount , and pivot_root . No runtime magic and (almost) no cut corners. A

EFF to court: The Supreme Court must rein in secondary copyright liability

news.ycombinator.com Betty Gedlu 2025-09-29 19:59:27

If the Supreme Court doesn’t reverse a lower court’s ruling, internet service providers (ISPs) could be forced to terminate people’s internet access based on nothing more than mere accusations of copyright infringement. This would threaten innocent users who rely on broadband for essential aspects of daily life. EFF—along with the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, and Re:Create—filed an amicus brief urging the Court to reverse the decision. The Stakes: Turning

What a difference a changing regulatory environment makes. Roughly nine months after suggesting that a young copy trading platform could only operate because it flew “under the radar” of regulators, Robinhood has announced its own entry into the space with “Robinhood Social,” a new feature that will allow users to follow and manually replicate the trades of prominent investors.

The repercussions of missing an Ampersand in C++ & Rust Copying vs Passing by reference TL;DR There’s a funny typo that causes someone to copy data instead of “referencing” in C++. Rust is nice because it provides defaults that protect you from some of these “dumb” mistakes. In this example, I’ll go over how the “move by default” can prevent us from introducing this subtle behavior.

The DMCA online safe harbor is a notice-and-takedown scheme. Web hosts aren’t liable for copyright-infringing third-party uploads unless and until the copyright owner submits a proper takedown notice to the host, at which point the web host can remain legally protected by expeditiously removing the targeted item. By taking web hosts out of the liability chain, the DMCA nominally keeps any infringement disputes being between the uploader and the copyright owner. To help copyright owners sue anon

On Linux, Control-C and Control-V don't work for copying and pasting in terminals. The Control modifier is used for its original purpose of inserting control codes. Instead, terminal apps require an extra Shift modifier, like Control+Shift+C. But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste on Linux that work across most apps without adding any additional software or configuration? By the end of 2025, this will be the case, and many apps already support them. Here's the scoop!
