EarthDesk vs Inclavare Containers

EarthDesk turns a computer desktop into an updating view of Earth from space, with near-real-time clouds, sun and moon depictions, and city lighting. It offers 12 map projections, including Mercator, Azimuthal, Equirectangular, and a globe with optional starfield. Maps can be centered using latitude and longitude, relative to the sun or moon, or on one of 10,000 locations; a data subscription adds other centering choices. On multiple displays, it can show a different map on each screen or span one map across them. Standard cloud imagery is global, 2-megapixel, and refreshed every six hours. The data subscription adds geo-located, parallax-corrected imagery from 23 satellites at 32-megapixel detail, refreshed every three hours, plus earthquake, tropical storm, and International Space Station information. The maker offers a free Mac or Windows trial before purchase. A single-user license starts at 24.99 USD once and covers two Mac or Windows computers. An upgrade costs 12.99 USD once and requires a previous license key; the data subscription costs $14.99 a year. Minimums are macOS 10.14, Windows 7, or tvOS 13.2.

Inclavare Containers is a free, open-source Linux container runtime for launching protected containers in hardware-assisted Trusted Execution Environments. It creates hardware-enforced isolation between a tenant workload and privileged cloud-provider software. Its Enclave Attestation Architecture provides remote attestation that sensitive workloads run on trusted TEE hardware. The rune component is described as compliant with the OCI Runtime specification, while documented integrations include dockerd, containerd, and pouchd. Deployment can use Occlum LibOS or WebAssembly Micro Runtime, and Rats-TLS provides an attested secured channel between heterogeneous TEEs. shim-rune handles enclave signing and management between containerd and rune; epm manages cache pools for enclave startup. The project is cloud-platform agnostic and can run on public-cloud Kubernetes platforms. It supports Kubernetes CRI, uses the OCI image format, and documents Linux hosts including Ubuntu 18.04 and Alibaba Linux 2. Installation is described through source builds or RPM/DEB repositories.
