Comment on 85% Cocoa by Jayms

85% cocoa is an underrated caffeine kick. Unlike most people, I don’t hate the taste, and as stated in previous posts, this may be due to the fact that I mostly eat a raw diet with no soda or dairy. Not only is the cacao bean very healthy for humans, it will make me wired with a huge caffeine peak! It does seem to have an addictive effect because if i I buy a 100g block from supermarket, it will be in the back of my mind until I eat it, lol. Caffeine rush for the rest of the day, lucid dreams then a tipsy morning with lack of sleep (if i don’t eat it before midday). Keep it on the downlow, Green & Blacks Organic 85% AUD$4

Oh, yes, of course you can do that in Linux. Even in 2006 when you wrote this article, but now it’s even more easy with Ubuntu 11.

Wow I wonder if this is worth using as the quickest way to get an LXC container?

For a container, we usually want an entire functioning system, minimal as possible, but not for example any kernel or modules or grub or udev, but do want at least a partly populated /dev.

And of course in the case of LXC, containers that aren’t full systems but just specific apps or services are also part of the defined design goal. Perhaps this osc trick is very close to whats needed for those kinds of containers at least.

For full system LXC containers, currently I use
zypper -R $CR ar -f http://host/…/repo/oss/ oss
zypper -R $CR in -lt pattern base

Preceded and followed by several manual tweaks.
(Which I wrote up at http://en.opensuse.org/LXC)

It works but it’s a drag where several things must be done manually and remembered and gotten just right every time, manually… OpenVZ web site has template filesystem tars already hand crafted but that’s cheating, not solving the problem, merely making someone else (vs. a tool) do the work.

Great ideas. Thanks for the post. I also tend towards going slim. Some of those EDC forum posters really overdo it IMHO, but then there are the others with awesome ideas.

I am extremely interested in hearing about your research into ultra-slim wallets.

My EDC:
Keyring (Car key, house key, Yubikey, screwdriver)
Wallet (Drivers license, Debit Card, Credit Card, work badge)
Phone (currently iPhone4)

PS.
