Such container
- afandian 11y agoThis is a subject I really want to know about. But the presentation of this this page is (no better word for it) obnoxious. I wonder why the author did it. Annoyingly the 'reader' feature of Safari doesn't work on this page.
- Gigablah 11y agoThe author didn't even have the decency to make it Comic Sans. Edit: guess this is an iOS issue...
- sp332 11y agoThe font stack is "Comic Sans MS",cursive,sans-serif so if you don't have Comic Sans, your browser picks a font described as "cursive" and then falls back to the default sans font.
- ch 11y agoIt seems on mobile Safari it presents in a nearly unreadable script font (well readable but with much effort). On the desktop however it shifts to Comic Sans, which is perfectly fine for reading!
- weavie 11y agohttps://www.instapaper.com/text?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdoger.io%2F https://www.instapaper.com/text?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdoger.io%2F should work
- ohitsdom 11y agoI'm embarrassed to admit it, but I really can't see past Comic Sans to read the actual content.
- wfn 11y agoSome websites seem to use Comic Sans in particular so that folks just looking for form would go away: http://www.libressl.org/ http://www.libressl.org/ (OpenBSD's OpenSSL fork) ;) edit oh no, it seems LibreSSL changed the font! :( But I quite remember it being different (or perhaps it was another website related to the OpenBSD foundation)
- icebraining 11y agoThey use it in their papers: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/libtls-fsec-2015/mgp00001.html http://www.openbsd.org/papers/libtls-fsec-2015/mgp00001.html
- ohitsdom 11y agoInteresting. At least their logo is still Comic Sans :) http://www.libressl.org/images/libressl.jpg http://www.libressl.org/images/libressl.jpg
- andreasvc 11y agoMy advice: simply remove Comic Sans from your computer.
- sp332 11y agoSafari and Firefox have "reader mode" buttons built-in. Chrome has one too, but you have to enable it. For the desktop version, add --enable-dom-distiller on the command line. For the mobile version, chrome://flags/#enable-reader-mode-toolbar-icon

- littlewing 11y agoComic Sans is an awesome font. People act like it is an attack on their eyes, but harder to read fonts make information easier to retain: http://www.futurity.org/hard-to-read-fonts-easier-to-retain/ http://www.futurity.org/hard-to-read-fonts-easier-to-retain/ A quote from that: "Those who read about the aliens in an easy-to-read font (16-point Arial pure black) answered correctly 72.8 percent of the time, compared to 86.5 percent of those who reviewed the material in hard-to-read fonts (12-point Comic Sans MS or Bondoni MT in a lighter shade)."
- toxican 11y agoIt's not hard to read though. It's just overused, misused, and only serves to annoy typograpy nerds
- afandian 11y agoNot just comic sans. It's that dog, the image, the meme too. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the author said "what can I do that will irritate people the most". I'm partially complaining because it irritated me (out of selfishness), but mostly saying "why would you do that?" (out of curiosity).
- valarauca1 11y ago>why would you do that? Why not? Just because the personality of the author disagrees with your sensibilities you have to appose them to the point other people have to read a comment concerning your self irritation to the authors style of presentation. If you feel content shouldn't be on this website you can downvote it. Edit1: Don't flag on-topic subjects (sorry mods)
- reitanqild 11y agoCareful with the flags. By all means flag off-topic stuff but don't flag on-topic stuff of the site because you don't like it.
- afandian 11y agoI thought it had been done intentionally to make a point. Maybe I'm wrong and the author just likes dogs and comic sans. I thought it was an interesting avenue for discussion. Why do you associate my asking questions with wanting to censor things? I don't. I'm perfectly happy with this page being on the web and this discussion existing. I just thought it would be interesting to find out why it is the way it is.
- temo4ka 11y agoI actually keep a Chrome Snippet for such cases. var getFont = function(url) { var link = document.createElement('link'); link.rel='stylesheet'; link.type='text/css'; link.href = url; document.head.appendChild(link); } getFont('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans|Roboto') var sheet = (function() { var style = document.createElement('style'); document.head.appendChild(style); return style.sheet; })(); sheet.insertRule('body { font: 400 16px/24px Roboto,sans-serif!important; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; }', 0);
- creamyhorror 11y agoI hate to admit that I mindlessly upvote doge-related submissions and comments. Very shaem
- sjclemmy 11y agoAs I'm an old man, and have no idea what the kids are up to, I thank the internet that knowyourmeme.com exists.
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoAs I'm a young man who seldom browses 4chan, I'm thankful I hang around communities of people who do, to fill me on all the dank memes. It's more of a subculture than a generational zeitgeist. By the time you see it among your Facebook friends, much less HN, it's far removed.
- yoodenvranx 11y agoI would have almost upvoted this submission, but as it is often the case, the title on HN is complete meaningless garbage. A much better title would be "Such container - an attempt to document the ins and outs of containers on Linux.". This way I would instantly know what the article is about... I wish there would be some way to add a tldr to the title. This is really the one thing I hate about HN nowadays. Usually at least a third of the submissiond have completely meaningless titled. For example currently there are "Jitterdämmerung" and "A letter from Transnistria" on the front page. How am I supposed to know what those are about without clicking on them? (Sorry for the rant...)
- r0naa 11y agoPerhaps the mods have been asleep lately? Glad that I am not the only who has noticed how clickbait-ish, or nondescript, some titles are.

- mkj 11y agoInteresting stuff on his main blog too. http://www.pocketnix.org http://www.pocketnix.org Also "As may be apparent by the theme of this site and its currently broken CSS for articles , I am an avid console user, most of my machines don't have X11 installed" might explain the site presentation.
- hackeraccount 11y agoD+ for the presentation but the content gets an A. It really is a nice overview of the options without being overly prescriptive about what option to pick.
- reitanqild 11y agoDisagree. Reminds me of the old, cute (and still useful) internet (geocities, web rings etc).
- wingerlang 11y agoDoge is just a currently popular meme thing though. Although I stay away from stuff like this, I am pretty sure it is already 'over'.
- jbb555 11y agoI like this, I thought containers were just some stupid fad of the day. But this explains what they are and makes me thinks ahhhh! Of couse they will still be overused and so on :)
- dijit 11y agoGuys, you know you can change the font right? in chrome, right click on page->inspect element-> uncheck font-family. this is pretty good, I've always thought that docker is solving an education problem but fixing the education part is a better thing that 'just use docker' since not understanding a system can be very problematic in future.
- benihana 11y agoThis would have been so much more enjoyable if the text hadn't been comic sans and some stupid meme that my grandmother still says to me wasn't shoehorned in.
- lucaspottersky 11y agooh man, just open up your console and change the body{ font-family: ... } CSS :P
- deleted 11y ago[deleted]
- bboreham 11y agoKind of odd that "What is a container?" comes near the bottom of the page. But 100 bonus points for never mentioning Docker.
- zobby 11y agois that a rip? not so ;) http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/6/9460983/microsoft-event-windows-10-ninja-cat-doge-stickers http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/6/9460983/microsoft-event-wi...
- dvdcxn 11y agoDoge jokes? Is it 2013 again?
- peterwwillis 11y agoCan there please be a 100% doge version of this page :( I was really hoping for an ironic doge treatment of typical startupy tools and their unnecessary websites

- davexunit 11y agoFeels nice being on a computer that doesn't have Comic Sans. I just see the default sans-serif font for my system. Fonts aside, this is a nice resource. A number of good articles that I read to understand how containers work are collected here. I'll have to ask the author to include GNU Guix in the implementations list once our next release is out the door.
