I thought it would be a good idea to promote a LiberaPay page to build some patronage to my free/open projects, but in Brazil LiberaPay can only handle PayPal and it integrates poorly, it doesn't accept Reais!

@prologic@twtxt.net I looked up BurmillaOS and this is definitely one for my thread about unique Linux distributions. Very interesting.

Everything in BurmillaOS is a Docker container. We accomplish this by launching two instances of Docker. One is what we call System Docker and is the first process on the system.
