You don't mean "bare metal" right? Are you talking about your typical EC2 instance VMs? Our services are hosted on normal EC2 instances, and we're looking at EC2 .metal for running our secret sauce.

Firecracker uses KVM to implement virtualization to launch containers inside "micro" VMs. As far as I know, Amazon only gives you virtualization extension access on bare metal instances.

Rolling your own firecracker solution would put the control in your hands, but then aren't you limited to .metal EC2 instances (with all the cost increases that come with it)?

ocrmypdf and friends. I've built an archival system based around Tesseract and PostgreSQL. It takes Images/PDFs, either scanned or generated, and rebuilds them as searchable PDFs before being extracted and inserted into Postgres&#

qemu has its own (often unnoticed) config file format `-readconfig fname`. I use it instead of the command line when things are getting out of hand.

> It has the possibly shittiest API ever designed. This was my experience as well. The only time I get near libvirt anymore is to read source; because sometimes it's the best documentation for a qemu feature.

I'm not a reader of 4chan. I just know people that are, and I try to have empathy for other people's situations.

Because the types of people that would believe in Holocaust-denial in 2020, are the same types of people that are fed by conspiracy theories when things are banned.

The way I read it, 4chan is like a concentrated version of what it was like to be a teenager at the edge of society. You stir the pot and feed off the energy that people respond with. If you live in a Christian conservative community, you

If we’re thinking of the same thing (related to ‘coal’) thats looking like it’s a 4chan troll site.

Nobody is designing chips anymore. We're microdosing LSD and getting excited about our opinionated web frameworks. The Bay-Area-innovation knows no bounds. See y'all at Burning Man.

It is great: your code runs right near the data it’s working with. If it’s the pits, you need a better suited development environment. I use emacs and interactively code inside the DB. Python, Lua, JavaScript, PGSQL, whatever.

It's great. I've been using an EPYC 7401P as a primary workstation/build server for < 3 years, things have all been working great. I'm on Debian/testing, and I upgrade once a week or so. I have a bunch of VMs o

We can agree to disagree on engineering choices. I've been working on/with aftermarket ECUs for just under 20 years, and I'm sharing with you what I've seen from being "in the trenches".
