I know. PhD —> YES

That name goes hard!

Oh yeah. No one appreciates blue sky research. We don’t know where the question will take us, which is why governments fund the research. They can take on the 0.1% chance something useful is created 20 years later.

And here it is.

Small VMs, like everything else.

Cool. Podman Desktop should be easier after this. Presumably, it’s still a Linux VM driven by something written by Apple instead of qemu.

No macOS containers though. Being able to spin up macOS containers would have been nice for builds and isolating things like pkgsrc.

Trump’s ear getting scratched after getting tackled by the Secret Service was my first thought when I saw the photo.

I don’t think a bullet got close.

As a Fedora user, I would go with Fedora. 😄

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is good, but I find Yast to be kind of overkill. I’m sure it’s great when people figure it out, but there are too many options before then.

Fedora is much simpler, which is weird to say.

Specifically Catholic. It’s a great example of appropriation.

Bush 100% knew the Saudis were behind it, so not sarcasm.

The US wanted a base in the Middle East that wasn’t SA, and Iraq was an easy target. They didn’t care about destabilization. That was a perk. It was all about force projection from a central base.

That’s Bro country.

Dallas, which checks out.

Wow. What did Seinfeld do to you?

NIN is the blue ring. 😆

100% agree. Climate change too, but national security if nothing else.

The plan Putin and Xi have is probably to get the US mired in conflicts with Mexico and Canada, which would leave Europe isolated and more willing to deal with Russia. Russia has a lot of energy reserves, and they want to use them as leverage against Europe. Control of Ukraine energy reserves should be a top priority for Russia.

The US is sending lots of oil/ng over to Europe to make cutting off Russian oil feasible. Without US oil, Europe is going to have a hard time functioning, and they would have to start talking with the Russians.

Why WSL? Because I’d be setting up a Linux VM anyway.

Microsoft software and NinjaRMM screen sharing. Ninja and MS SQL management tools are the biggest blockers since the web versions of M365 are adequate.

Not necessarily. Rsync deltas are very efficient, and not everything supports deltas.

It may very well be the correct tool for the job.

Anyway, problem fit wasn’t part of the question.

I’m probably going to invest in some hardware to get powerful enough VMs.

I have a company issued laptop and work for a Microsoft partner.

It would be nice if they’d give me an AVD session or twelve.
