When you make a potentially system breaking change and forgot to make a snapshot of the VM beforehand…

I always felt that high-res Surprised Pikachu kinda ruins it. It’s funnier when it’s all fuzzy and jpg-y.

It was kinda bad.

It’s a lot better now, but getting to military web sites, especially OWA, has always been a pain in the ass on personal computers. I tried this out trying to avoid using my main computer for work stuff and it just didn’t work that well.

I don’t think anyone was really using it that much which is probably why it isn’t maintained.

Truly the horseshoe crab of websites. Why change when you’re already perfect?

In Proxmox they have VirGL-GPU and Virtio-GPU. They allow VMs to pass work to the GPU without being dedicated to one VM. I don’t think gaming was the intended use case and don’t know what kind of performance you would get. My uninformed guess is that it would not be great.

I’ve been a chaotic neutral more times than I would like to admit.

I got a carbonization machine. I’ve been drinking way more water these days. I always thought I liked soda because of the sugar. Actually I liked the fizziness. It gets fizzier than anything else I’ve ever drank.

I would have to be a mutual agreement between communities. Moderation in such a setup would be tricky (can mods take actions on users or posts that technically don’t reside in their community?)

The ability for communities across different instances behave like one. We don’t need ten different communities doing the exact same thing.

We don’t need to be as big as Facebook but three or four times more users would probably be ideal.

I bet manpower costs are significant as well. How many people are needed to run this thing? You probably need engineers with an esoteric set of skills to put it back together and manage it which would not be cheap.

Edit: I looked it up, it is running SUSE Enterprise Linux, so maybe management isn’t as specialized as I expected.

They have a pretty good catalog of pre-built Docker containers. You don’t have to use their version of things but there is a lot of software that I was previously unaware of that I learned of through them.

Never used that tool so I can’t really say :(

I think there are two options personally.

1. The Windows 11 LTSC version just leaked on Chinese forums. I wouldn’t use that ISO but would wait for the official release. Seems like the “best” version of Windows.

2. Use Chris Titus’ WinUtil on a normal install: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil. He has put a lot of effort into this tool and it works great.

If you want to go full try-hard you can do it yourself. Buy NTLite and go to town on stripping stuff out. You’ll probably break something but it is fun to play with.

For some reason my DNS tends to break the most. I have to reinstall my Pi-hole semi-regularly.

NixOS plus Docker is my preferred setup for hosting applications. Sometime it is a pain to get running but once it does it tends to run. If a container doesn’t work, restart it. If the OS doesn’t work, roll it back.

Does it increase your attack surface? Yes. With proper precautions is this level of risk negligible? Also yes.

You will be opening a port to the outside world. Anyone can try to use it. But if you are using key authentication it will be fine.

Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) by Praxis is really bizarre and amazing.

I’ve been an actual janitor and a sysadmin… they’re not dissimilar. You clean up other people’s shit for a living.

Those aren’t real classified documents. They aren’t marked correctly.

I’ve been with Porkbun for over a year now. No complaints.

My GPU is quite literally 15 or 16 years old (I pulled it out of an old server that was being trashed). If you aren’t going to do heavy graphical work and just want to spruce up your desktop performance then really anything is probably fine.

I think both these options require downloading additional libraries on your Proxmox host to work.
