• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Virtual Machines- is there a better way to jump start a VM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d take a look at packer and ansible. Packer can be used to prepare a new base image for your VMs. And ansible can be used to automate the provisioning of a VM once it’s booted.

  You really don’t need an AIO with a 5600X. Just grab a reasonably sized tower cooler and call it a day. There’s less to fail, and less risk of water damage if it fails catastrophically. I’ve found thermalright to be exceptionally good for how well priced they are. Not as quiet as Noctua, but damn near the same cooling performance.

  Another thing to consider is that a 5600X doesn’t have built in graphics. I think you’d need to jump up to AM5/7600X for that.

  A coworker of mine built an LLM powered FUSE filesystem as a very tongue-in-check response to the concept of letting AI do everything. It let the LLM generate responses to listing files in directories and reading contents of the files.

  Honestly, I don’t mind them adding ads. They’ve got a business to support. But, calling them “quests” and treating them as “rewards” for their users is just so tone-deaf and disingenuous. Likewise, if I’ve boosted even a single server, I shouldn’t see this crap anywhere, let alone on the server I’ve boosted.

  In the US, salaried engineers are exempt from overtime pay regulations. He is telling them to work 20 extra hours, with no extra pay.
