Show HN: Kern – container and resource runtime in a 1.5 MB binary, no daemon

Kern is a root-less, daemon-less container runtime delivered as a single 1.5 MB static binary that creates fully kernel-enforced OCI containers in about 3.5 ms. It supports Linux, ARM boards, Windows via WSL2, and macOS through a Linux VM, offering per-call isolation, resource profiles, and a built-in CLI for building, running, and managing containers without external dependencies.
