How to Structure C Projects: These Best Practices Worked for Me
I recently worked on two different C projects, and I wanted to structure them in a way that would make them easy to maintain and understand. I also wanted to make sure that the projects were easy to build and test. In this post, I will share my experience and the best practices I found for structuring C projects.
I'm on the KubeFM Podcast Talking About "Linux Containers From Scratch"
KubeFM recently invited me to talk about my project "barco: Linux Containers From Scratch in C". In this episode, I talk about why Linux containers don't exist, how to use cgroups and namespaces to isolate a process, how to secure the container with seccomp and capabilities, and how to make the right syscall from C to build your own container engine. Thank you, KubeFM, for having me!

OIDC is the recommended way to authenticate with GitHub Enterprise Server when setting up GitHub Actions. Since the setup can be tricky, I've created a Terraform configuration that makes it easier to get started.
