Live sports is what Disney is betting on.

If you can do a password reset and not lose data, it means the data was encrypted with a key that wasn’t your password. This is either a scam or a lie.

Unattended-upgrade does security-only patching once every 4 hours (in rough sync with my local mirror)

Full upgrades are done weekly, accompanied by a reboot

I find that the split between security patching and feature/bug patching maintains a healthy balance knowing when something is likely to break but never being behind on the latest cve.

Semantics aside, I believe the correct answer is “ribbed for death’s pleasure”

What if the booby trap had AI though?

(I’m joking please don’t hurt me)

My wife and I have both been using this setup for over a year and we’ve never looked back

My solution to this problem was to buy a $180 Dell workstation off eBay and install Ubuntu on that as my main workstation. My gaming desktop is now in the basement and runs sunshine. Moonlight over LAN is basically native, and solves the annoying reboot to switch tasks scenario.

If you ran a raw Ubuntu/fedora/whatever, you can use qemu/libvrt to run small virtual machines as required. You start and stop them with virsh, define them with simple xml files, and can easily automate the creation/destruction of them if desired.

Am I allowed to find it funny at an NFL game but in poor taste at a WNBA game?

if you’re automating the creation and deployment of vms, and the downstream operating systems, and not doing some sort of HA/failover meme setup… proxmox makes things way more complicated than raw libvirt/qemu/kvm.

Maybe for the initial setup, but nothing is more repeatable than automation. The more manual steps you have to build your infra, the harder it is to recover/rebuild/update later

Don’t get me wrong, I use libvrt where it makes sense but why would anyone go to proxmox from a full iac setup?

I do 2 at home, and 3 at work, coming from 4 at both and haven’t looked back.

I do this with awesomewm. You define window startup behavior in the main config. Applications can have static behavior to start in certain places or will default to “wherever my cursor currently is”. I suspect i3 has similar functionality

The support isn’t exclusivity for native 32 bit cpus, it’s for 32bit libraries that compatibility applications like wine/proton depend on to run 32bit windows executables

99% of the waiting time in my case is either waiting for file copies or waiting on SAP programs to run.

I wish I had low hanging fruit like that to go after.

I copy the install media locally. Although there is probably a noticable performance hot to running my main VM disk over the network.

They’re trying to, but market adoption has said so far that we’re unwilling to tolerate it.

Building a fully functional SAP system just takes that long in raw install time when your process also includes a sufficiently large system copy, and your hardware isn’t bleeding-edge.

It’s a massive application stack

I wrote and maintain a zero-to-working SAP HANA/S4 installer in pure bash.

It takes a redhat compatible from base install to a working, production-ready SAP system in about 5 hours.

It’s like ~9,000 lines of bash

I’m with you that he doesn’t strictly need a gpu, but if the price is right (free from old gaming PC, cheap from a friend’s old gaming PC, cheap old workstation card, etc) I stand by that he probably wants one. A lot less fussy, a lot more capable, nad nvenc does better quality encoding at lower bitrates (and probably less power too if you take into account time spent encoding at full tilt.)
