Which, honestly, is grating. It's great that the Arch wiki is as good as the Gentoo wiki was in 2002, but it would be even better if the Arch wiki actually acknowledged the people doing the work. For GPU passthrough, for example, the i

If those were goalposts, they weren't clear. The miss is that the article in the link doesn't discuss VMs or virtualization at all, so talking about oversubscription/etc seemed like an ad-hoc commentary on the hardware config

Yes, I mean KSM (and its equivalents in other hypervisors). The CPU cycles are a non-issue for the configuration on this mainframe, and it's fair to assume that, since IBM developed the silicon and IBM engineers wrote the hypervisor la

While I agree that this configuration needs more memory, mainframes are primarily used for very high throughput jobs. "Lots of memory to sit idle" isn't really a priority. That aside, samepage sharing has been a thing in virt

VT-d is used for device passthrough. I suspect you're thinking of VT-x. But LPAR have been around forever, and aren't that different conceptually from jails, systemd-nspawn, LXC, and any other of a large number of OS-level virtual

How do you expect to build upon the works of past philosophers if you haven't actually read them? The "replacement" for Nietzsche's books, if that's a goal, must also address WHY Neitzsche's arguments are weak

To verify and prove that you have a new, original thought, you essentially need to address everyone who's every written about it before, and their arguments (or at least intermediaries who have already done that). A lot of philosophica

As someone who spent 8 years inside Red Hat, this is exactly why anecdotal "evidence" is garbage. Complaining that an engineering company is full of mostly white males (in an industry which is full of mostly white mails) is an exa
