Why would you install a GUI on a VM designated to run a Docker instance?

You should take a serious look at what actual companies run. It's typically nested VMs running k8s or similar. I run three nodes, with several VMs (each running Docker, or other services that require a VM) that I can migrate between nodes depending on my needs.

For example: One of my nodes needed a fan replaced. I migrated the VM and LXC containers it hosted to another node, then pulled it from the cluster to do the job. The service saw minimal downtime, kids/wife didn't complain at all, and I could test it to make sure it was functioning properly before reinstalling it into the cluster and migrating things back at a more convenient time.

Anything but metric.

You literally said "960,947 grams"

That's ~961kg; 39kg short of one metric ton.

Go outside and touch grass, my dude 😂

I have a copy of Techstream for my Toyotas that will only run on Windows. My laptop is set up to run it inside an XP VM with USB passthrough. Works just fine that way.

I use OneNote quite frequently at work. It's so much more than a "handwriting app"... Hell, I use it often enough that I started using it at home years ago. However, I much prefer FOSS alternatives for my personal and home use, so I use Joplin Notes paired to a backup server I run on my home lab, that way they sync across all my devices just like OneNote does.

Glue is commonly used in vehicle manufacturing to bond panels together. It's typically stronger than welding, and is often used in the vehicle's structural pieces as well.

The problem with the Cyberdumpster is that they used shitty glue.

Linux is like the “I own an old hotrod in my garage and work on it as a hobby” compared to “I drive a cheap commuter car and just want it to work”

Really?

Linux gives you choice, sure, but it doesn’t just randomly break unless you’re doing something exotic.

I see it more as a pre-built kit RC car (like Traxxas or Arrma stuff) that in stock form (like a Debian or Fedora distro) is acceptable for 99% of the things we want to do with it, but also allows you to get under the hood and tweak/upgrade/change the inner workings to your liking with support from the manufacturer. Unlike other prebuilt cars from the toy store that have no real upgrade opportunities and don't want you under the hood, they are as-delivered with no other options...

Anyway...

Also, don’t expect Linux to make things faster, you’re still limited by your hardware. But do expect common tasks to work well.

Very well put.

Especially when you get into the laptop scene and proprietary hardware.

Pro-tip for those who go this route: get a Thinkpad T or P series. Both are highly-supported by Linux, come in Intel and AMD flavors, and even have extra power-management features and utilities no other laptops have.

Hi from a Thinkpad running Debian (Mint), as God intended

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

IDK, I don't expose that shit to the internet.
