It's just a front-end abstraction for different c ontainer backends, so no. I don't think they have some distinct features that deal in any functionality for the container ecosystem or anything.

Logs?

Authentication is simply identifying a user.

Authorization is securing access to assets.

You can find a lot of reading about this if the distinction is confusing.

That's really up to the software again. If you're not technically inclined enough to run through the code, that's fine, but you have to trust that other people are.

Go and search GitHub issues or this project by name for what you're concerned about.

Authentication is also not security, btw. It's just access. If you can be more specific about your concerns in your post, you may get more direct answers.

Tunnels are not authentication.

Are you asking how to have each service challenge for authentication? That's up to the software.

Firefox CODE has DNS overrides. How would being in a container change this?

Yes to the acronyms.

I've not heard of any "gas venting" for these small batteries, but maybe I'm not up to speed on that.

As far as active cooling fans, that would only be while on battery, not a constant thing. In the case of just preventing line faults from flipping the current on and off, only a battery will prevent that and stop damage to a PSU.

Eh. If people aren't aware of it, now they are.

Firefox has its own DNS settings. Doesn't pay attention to the host settings.

So I'll just speak very generally, and assume you mean power conditioner, because generally a PCU does the VRU stuff, but not always the reverse.

So let's say you plug a VRU into a faulty socket: the regulator will only power up the passthrough port when it has the input source stabilized to meet whatever it's conditions are, and then it provides power - cool. What happens when that faulty wiring starts flipping on and off super fast, or has a drain for more than 5 seconds that doesn't meet the line input conditions? Dead output.

Now let's say we plug in a UPS which has all of the above features, but the wiring goes to fault - UPS beeps and provides power from the battery. No loss in power, and the server isn't going down and rebooting many times throughout the day.

Anecdotally (meaning I've seen this hundreds of times live, but never seen a study), a UPS can take a LOT more punishment from power SURGES like lightning strikes, which I would be concerned about if the wiring is also faulty. There may be no proper grounding or surge protection in the building he's describing if the power is this bad.

UPS does this already. It's safer with a battery for a number of reasons if faulty wiring is a concern.

Are you sure the Firefox settings aren't overriding your DNS?
