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

Finally a use for the Mirai. God knows it wasn’t much of a vehicle.

His secret Canadian family…

…his even more secret attic family.

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.

Ceph. I have some Raspberry Pi’s that I’m going to set up a cluster with. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I half expect the performance to be relatively terrible, but maybe it won’t and I can try to build something on top of the cluster in a sort of hyper converged setup.

It’s completely overkill for a small home lab but that’s what makes it fun.

The autism of tank nerds never ceases to astound me.

Damn that’s fucking cold. I love it.

Metal Arms: A Glitch in the System

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.

Yeah this is the answer. I was about to list off some movies but realized I actually watched and finished those. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish anything after Endgame besides the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

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

😂😂😂

The lemon drank was pretty good honestly!

It’s pretty true. I have some Army meals in my photo library.

Edit: Found some more

Just use Debian. Why use the inferior downstream distros when you can go right to the OG? You are already halfway there.

Debian doesn’t have a corporate sponsor so there is no risk of getting spammed or giving someone your personal information.

My recommendation for that price range is to buy a used business-class laptop. Emphasis on the business-class. These are the Dell Latitudes and the HP ProBooks. Try to find something less-than five years old (businesses tend to phase out older laptops in the three or four year mark). Buy from a reputable re-seller that offers support in case you get a lemon.

It won’t be the fastest or sexiest laptop out there. But it will be long lasting and reliable.

Build something that you want. Find that niche that isn’t well served by existing projects and fill the void. Either by making something entirely new or adding a feature to something already out there.

I can’t lie… I love it.

Maybe something I should look into again.

Yes! I’ve used that before.

I spun up a trial version of Windows Server and tried to get it working. It seemed to want a Domain environment and I didn’t want to go down that road. There probably is a way to do it without setting up a Domain but I didn’t feel like messing with it at the time.
