This approach deeply resonates with me. The only thing missing is maybe a GPS tracker thingy. But I am not sure which usecase this would have. Maybe not having to call my child when they are late but instead looking up where they are.

The missing Parental controls for Unix should actually be pretty easy to implement. When the time comes there will be either a useful one present or I will write an increasingly sprawling cronjob to approximate the job

Re:How to Escape a Container on Wednesday December 27, 2023 @01:24PM (#38784866)
KataContainers and gvisor come to mind. KataContainers really spin up VMs with various optimizations. Gvisor uses a reimplementation of the kernel syscall interface in go, which is also a pretty interesting idea.

We evaluated this but shied away from the complexity... In the end we build a slim version ourself containing

1. A codebuild job running a container image which starts a runner with custom labels

2. A lambda to receive the webhook from github and run the codebuild job on demand.

I recommend the the article about the infantry men who did not shoot https://www.americanheritage.com/secret-soldiers-who-didnt-s... Or better yet the book humankind from rutger bregman. Who wrote a whole chapter about why this experiment does not support this conclusion
Almost every one, but you will loose convince. No schedule, no fancy no go zones, no home automation Integration, no app. But for me it is still worth it. Just clean up the room start the robot and do something else while it is cleaning.
Yeah now instead of updating one (host) OS I have to update X container OS/user spaces plus the host users pace plus the shared kernel. I think I will pass on this szenario for long term support.
