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.

Check out these guys: https://www.linuxserver.io/

https://hub.docker.com/u/linuxserver

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 :(

 

KVMs are unreasonably expensive and my work was about to throw this one in the dumpster. I just need to order some console cables first but I'm really pleased.

 

Berkeley has this really cool program called BOINC that you can download and donate your computer's resources to processing scientific data. There are a bunch of projects to pick, from working on climate change, to cancer, to the Large Hadron Collider.

The good folks at linuxserver.io even have a ready to go Docker container for easy setup: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/boinc

Another possibility is running the Archive Team's Warrior, which downloads data from at risk web sites and uploads them to the Internet Archive: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior

Does anyone else have examples of projects like this? My dream is for the Fediverse to have this sort of feature eventually.
