<p>The chargeback <i>is</i> the way of reaching out to the merchant, and quite often the only realistic one. If the merchant disagrees with the chargeback, they can challenge it (which is in turn usually their only opportunity to directly communicate with the merchant).</p>

<p>The browser on the Wii was amazing. I didn't use it all that often, but I was a big Opera fan back in the day, and it was amazing to see how well their engine scaled to all kinds of systems.<p>As far as I remember, there were even some games that supported the Wiimote natively? I don't remember if this was via Flash or Javascript, but there seems to be a library for the latter: <a href="https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/wii-js" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ryanmcgrath/wii-js</a><p>I unfortunately never got to use the Nintendo DS version (the DS being WEP-only was a dealbreaker for me).</p>

<p>The surface of an OS is definitely larger than that of many hypervisors, which is e.g. why browsers often provide their own much narrower sandbox.<p>On the other hand, in other scenarios, people trust the security boundaries of their working as expected all the time, no? This is the basis of e.g. Android app isolation (every app runs under its own Linux UID/GID), and true multi-user Unix systems trusting the OS's security boundaries to hold have decades of history.</p>

<p>If you let your container write setuid binaries to your path, give it admin access to your network, let it access the Docker daemon socket etc., sure, you're going to have a bad time. But how is that different from e.g. giving software running in a VM SSH access to your host or a writable bind mount to the host's root directory?</p>

<p>This explicitly provides a Linux VM, which seems hard to do without providing a Linux VM.<p>The use case is actually the opposite of what you seem to want (i.e. running Linux containers on macOS without a Linux VM); this uses a Linux-based container implementation of macOS to provide a long-lived Linux VM that looks more like a VM itself than a container.</p>

<p>> Just last week there was a post where people were shocked how an AI agent used docker to bypass sudo on a system.<p>This was due to implicitly granting the LLM access to the host docker daemon, which has superuser privileges, not due to a "container breakout". That's arguably a very different scenario, but of course both are worth considering.<p>> So if you want to use containers for anything but easier development, you need to be much more proficient than the average user already.<p>I'd disagree. Containers, at least without granting them additional privileges such as CAP_NET_ADMIN and without write-bind-mounting sensitive host directories into the container, offer a reasonable security boundary compared to the counterfactual, despite their bad reputation.</p>

<p>I'd also love TOFU for TLS, at least on .local TLDs, but for publicly hosted websites, I've come around to the idea that maybe encryption without authentication would not help that much these days.<p>As for who does that authentication: Given all the suggestions in the sibling threads, I really don't think we're in a situation where there's a single entity gatekeeping access by any means.</p>

<p>What "backdoor" would Let's Encrypt even implement? That's not how a CA works.<p>They might be compelled to issue a certificate to an unauthorized (by browser PKI policies, not local law) entity, but that would be very conspicuous due to Certificate Transparency.</p>
