it’s important to realize bread and candy are the same thing.

Baked goods are also carbohydrate delivery vehicles. As far as your body is concerned they all raise blood glucose the same (candy, bread).

Yeah, that is fair.

In addition to what other people have said, don’t sleep on Intel gpus, they’re great and they have great Linux compatibility. Even as vgpus for VMs.

Get more RAM than you think you need, I know it’s expensive, get more than you need.

I do everything through virtual machines, so I have a Linux gaming virtual machine that gets the GPU passed through to it directly, and I have a Windows gaming virtual machine that gets the same GPU passed through to it. Both work fine, some things work better on one than the other. Anti-cheat is annoying especially in a VM. There’s a ways to get around it, but if you can’t or you don’t want to, you can dual boot the machine directly into Windows. To make that easy simply have a full nvme drive just for Windows or Linux gaming if you want, and then boot directly into it when you need to go bare metal.

That covers all my gaming use cases, so Linux gaming VM most of the time, Windows gaming VM sometimes, and bare metal windows on occasion.

The benefit to using VMs, you can snapshot them easily, you can roll things back, you can limit the damage of bad games or mods you don’t trust, you can have multiple things running on your computer at the same time. If you’re running a game that doesn’t need all of your CPU all of your RAM, they can be doing productive work as VMs, or when your not gaming the GPU can be doing stuff like jellyfin transcoding.

In my production systems, and in my home systems, and in my gaming computers, I turn swap off. There’s no good reason to wear out disc writes. In production systems, I’d rather have something fail hard, then get slower and slower and slower falling behind.

Quite frankly, there’s no good reason to have swap on anymore, memory is huge. Most programs don’t need as much as they use. You can set memory pressure in systemd, telling programs to reduce their usage, and giving them individual hard cutoffs, so something like Prometheus can’t take down your whole system just because it’s got a memory leak.

4. I do this shit for money I ain’t going to do it for free. I’m not about to be the 24/7 unpaid on call for my families pagerduty rota. Paid cloud services for me

I’ve done this a few ways:

Optical thunderbolt to thunderbolt dock… so the dock would be next to your tv and you plugin to the dock with whatever. This works amazingly well.

Game streaming over Ethernet - moonlight/sunshine do a great job, on a high quality network it’s not noticable. Only downside is they don’t forward microphone, so you end up doing some gymnastics to get microphone input.

In a gas town type scenario, where a agent is orchestrating a tree of other agents, there maybe many concurrent shells and commands at the same time. Does your output tracking have the ability to show individual sessions / streams coherently?

Ability to track environment variables in this? I can see the utility in debugging. Something like a full closure for the environment of each command (file system snapshot id, environment variables, command, output)

it’s interesting, i see the value for being able to inspect the history and outputs of agents running on dev vms - the web ui is a nice touch for that

What LLM and model and effort generated this code? I see the AI has been working for a week on this.

No mention of total space limitations for the sqlite database overall (rather then per output)

oh yeah, it does that!

Get a ai agent, run it on your server as a un privileged user and ask it to do a security audit for you, delete the account after. If you want to get fancy make a new VM and give it root and ask it to probe your production host.

Everyone’s advice here is great, but you need to test your config and systems for gaps.

Works a treat for me!

But 100% is a big ask. There are always things to improve or fix

You know it’s the brain chemicals, you can actually change those chemicals through diet and lifestyle changes. Slow meaningful benefits can be had. Reduce sugars, sunlight, sleep, relax.

If you want a real adventure, try out Qubes.

Run your own Lemmy instance or Mastodon instance. You can say whatever you want, it’s absolute freedom of speech. People don’t have to listen to you, and many people may defederate, but that’s their choice

We do! Sky lights, fiber optic sky light extenders, etc. humans are always trying to light up their artificial caves with sunlight.

Building architecture used to have amazing creative designs to capture this free lighting.

However, cheap efficient indoor lighting removed this as a driving force, so newer buildings don’t have the same design constraints

As somebody who only drinks black, I can confirm, there are no problems anywhere ordering it. Just tell them black coffee, or iced Americano, or an espresso shot, or whatever. And if they make mistake and you show it to them they’ll fix it. There is literally no conspiracy here

Yeah, that’s just meeting other people. No two people have exactly the same beliefs on everything

huh! i stand corrected. i’ve never seen them, but yeah they exist! interesting.
