Add some pontoons and call it a day.

Transcoding video for streaming.

Knocking is usually reads (from the header seeking), brrr is heavy writes.

Counter-argument: If AI code was good, the owners would create official accounts to create contributions to open source, because they would be openly demonstrating how well it does. Instead all we have is Microsoft employees being forced to use and fight with Copilot on GitHub, publicly demonstrating how terrible AI is at writing code unsupervised.

The prompt says “can boot”, not “is usable with”. If it gets to the kernel and then hangs that still counts.

Using LLM for format conversion is like taking a picture of an electronic document, taking the card out of the camera and plugging it into a computer, printing the screenshots, taking those prints to a scanner with OCR, turning the result into an audio recording, and then dictating it too an army of 3 million monkeys with typewriters.

Minimum viable product (MVP) is a term commonly used in project management. Typically it’s approached from the perspective of "let’s first do the work to meet the project requirements, and leave nice-to-have features as a stretch goal (i.e. only do it if the MVP is ahead of schedule). The antithesis of MVP is scope creep, which is what you seem to be suffering from.

The other responses have so far talked about hardware setup, so I’m not going to do that. Instead I’m looking at your software setup: VMs can be comparatively power inefficient compared to containers, specially for always-on services that idle often.

Does registry still have that problem of making it practically impossible to do garbage collection on old images?

Is a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken, or an egg that if fertilized would hatch into a chicken?

CUPS is installed on the majority of desktop systems. One of the listed CVEs indicates that port 631 is by default open to the local network, so if you connect to any shared network (public WiFi, work/school network, even your home network if another compromised device gets connected to it) you’re exposed. Or a browser flaw or other vulnerability could be exploited to forward a packet to that port.

In other words: While access to port 631 is required first, the severity of the vulnerability lies in how damn easy it is to take over a system after that. And the system can be re-compromised any time you print something, making this a persistent vector.

I will never forgive JSON for not allowing commas after the last element in a list.

I don’t have a Fedora workstation in front of me right now, but it memory serves me right there’s a “default applications” or similar menu in Gnome’s settings.

Yeah, you’d have a LoadBalancer service for Traefik which gets assigned a VIP outside the cluster.

virtual IP addresses

Yeah, metallb.

The container is reproducible. Container configuration is in version control. That leaves you with the volumes mounted into the container, which you back up like any other disk.

It’s not that Seagate improved (which it may have), it’s more that WD has noticeably declined. It’s not a race to the bottom (yet), but there’s effectively no competition any more, so they aren’t incentivised to improve quality.

Figure out the uid/gid (numeric) for the user in lxc, then change the data permissions to those.

Since FF 6 and 7 have already been mentioned, I’m going to give a honorable mention to Shining Force.

Use -m and limit the build job’s memory so it doesn’t kill the docker daemon.
