#Docker alike container management on #FreeBSD? Let's have a look at #Kleene - which works very similar to Docker and makes the shift for Linux users even easier to #Jails without having deeper knowledge but by benefiting of all the features on Jails.

The task forces are part of a broader program known as “287(g),” for the section of the #Immigration & Nationality Act that enables it. Congress created the program in 1996 as part of a crackdown on illegal immigration.
Currently the program operates only in #jails. >130 agencies have allowed #ICE to train some officers to enforce immigration laws against people in their jails who have already been arrested for a local #crime….
#Trump routinely lies that foreign countries are #emptying their #jails & sending #criminals to live in #communities in the #US.
No, that’s HIS job!
BastilleBSD can now create jails with static MAC addresses, and finally got rid of that pfctl call when NAT wasn't use 
But that's not all, https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille/releases/tag/0.12.20250111
My main webserver is running FreeBSD and I've been running my services (nginx, postgresql, exim, etc) in individual jails. Each one with a ZFS dataset for it's data.
So far, I've been using traditional jails, but now, I did successfully implement VNET jails, to give each Jail it's own ip address and make them communicate via a private network, that I've been securing with pf firewall. Very smooth experience
Christmas project for this year: Updating my server and jails to FreeBSD 14.2

Several #Florida #jails and #prisons refuse to evacuate ahead of #HurricaneMilton
Despite being in evacuation zones, correctional facilities will keep thousands of residents on site

"During #HurricaneKatrina in 2005, hundreds of incarcerated people were left in the Orleans parish prison for four days during the deadly storm. Those incarcerated were left locked in their cells amid rising flood waters and without food or water.
"Other Florida jails and prisons have also said they will not evacuate during Milton. Correctional facilities in the counties of Sarasota, Hernando, Pasco, Charlotte and Lee will also remain in place during the storm, according to 10 Tampa Bay, a local outlet.
"Family members of those incarcerated are worried about their loved ones’ safety.
"Julie Reimer, a Florida resident, told 10 Tampa Bay that she had relatives in both the Charlotte correctional institution and Hardee correctional institution.
"Reimer, who is being identified by her maiden name due to fears of retaliation, said she was told by officials in both jails that they would not be evacuating. 'They said their buildings are able to sustain a storm like this,' Reimer said to 10 Tampa Bay. 'They seem to think this storm is not serious.'
"Reimer told 10 Tampa Bay: 'When my son was sentenced, he was not given a death sentence,' she said."

You think everyone who's in jail deserves to be there? Think again!

@libreleah @ariadne the closest to it is like the way Microsoft basically implemented 2 independent systems with completely vietualized and abstracted access in the #XboxOne which is AFAIK still unhacked.

But their intention in terms of #security is inherently anti-user and would only be acceptable in #CriticalInfrastructure like #Avionics where you'll have to prevent malicious users from ramming a plane into the ground!
As for mass-adopted systems, I'd say that #Android (aka. #toybox + #musl / #Linux + ART) with it's #Java-#VM is the best compromise after hardened Linux-distros, BSDs with #bhyve & #jails and "#KISS-principled" #OpenBSD which all buy security at the expense of control, modablility and portability.
From #Taser Face to the #Goon Squad: the Year in #Police #Crime
#Mississippi jails more of its population than any other state and nearly twice the average for the US as a whole. It’s incarcerate rate of 1,031 per 100,000 people (including #prisons, #jails, #immigration detention, and juvenile justice facilities) becomes even more glaring when compared to that of the founding countries of NATO.

@FediGarden @tim why are workers so ignorant that they rather prefere their children to have less than social wellfare instead of helping them get a loan for school? The #workers reasons was: it is embarassing to appear poor. Students didn't have an union and I am glad. #unions are #jails like #factories instead of paying union rats why not establish 25 USD global minimum #wage insead of unionized #slavery but #capitalist #swine and #commies don't like to give power to everyone.
The #US #legal system is not at all about #justice, but about justifying our #carceral #PrisonIndustrialComplex which imprisons people at a much higher rate than any other country—about as many as #China—while, obscenely, inhumanely, and unjustly, creating massive #profits for both "#PrivatePrison" #corporations and contractors for #government-run #jails and #prisons.
Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.
LA jails just posted another death, which means now that there were THREE deaths in LASD jail custody yesterday!!
Now up to 22 deaths this year.
