The servers I use ZFS on are Debian, so it’s well supported in that way. I’m pretty sure ZFS on Debian uses dkms, so if you want to try it on a data partition, it will work. Still, unless you want to tinker with something new I can’t really

1) you have to have an OS that supports it. 2) even if your OS supports it, you may have difficulty using it for your root volume, so partitioning is probably required. 2a) in your case you may not want to use it on your boot volume which w

What person do you want to remove from the process?

by mbreese 11mo ago
Honestly this is one of my favorite things about ZFS. I know that a disk scan is performed every week/month (whatever schedule). And I also know that it has verified the contents of each block. It is very reassuring in that way.

I don’t buy this. I mean, I’m sympathetic to the issue. It’s easy for things to get jumbled when companies are young. But we’re talking about libraries that are used by your customers. To many, this is the externally visible interface to th

Don’t you still need the HPC cluster with OpenOnDemand? I thought it was a web interface to use HPC resources. But this still runs on a single computer, so you wouldn’t use this to deploy a production cluster. This would be for testing in a

I’m pretty sure they were referring to building macOS or Windows desktop programs, which Docker doesn’t help with.

Thank you for this. So, basically -- it's a method for the MCP Server to display a UI element to the user allowing the user to perform some kind of action. Current, this UI will be an HTML iframe. I think I got confused by their barcha

by mbreese 11mo ago
I don’t get it. I like MCP as an interface in general, but I don’t understand the use-case they present. For those of you here who like this idea, what is the killer use case? To me, this looks less like UI interactions and more like the MC

Especially if you’re talking about a business who takes on these types of bounties routinely. I imagine you’d be able to build up a body of historical knowledge about fixing common issues. You could see how that could be a viable business m

I never saw the initial versions as viable versions for production work. IIRC, neither did the authors. Part of what I think was so good about the plan was that it was a parallel track for so long. They didn’t start the process of sunsettin

No! These are programs that are largely meant to have a run.sh or install.sh script run before the main script. If the venv doesn’t exist, the it is created there and requirements installed. The main point is that I’m trading away some flex

I use venv's to keep library installs out of the global space. My python scripts won't run without those libraries, so running from the project root is pretty much required. I don't use the variables set by activating the ven

I do this all the time for python virtualenvs. Instead of calling ‘#!/usr/bin/env python3’ I will call ‘#!venv/bin/python3’. This way I don’t have to worry about whether the environment was activated or not.

IIRC interpreters can also read their programs from stdin. Try piping a script to bash and see if it works. (Actually, this is how the `curl install.sh | bash` anti pattern works. )

You could really make a business case study (well, a project management case study) out of the Python 2 -> 3 transition. It was a very well executed plan. It started with a clear definition of where they were headed (v3) with some good r

You’re not trying to simulate a brain atom for atom. Individual atoms don’t do much on their own. Even if you did do that, you’d really need to simulate electron flow, which is whole other level. Now, simulating what outputs the bees brain

In the cases I’ve tried building/integrating they are the same thing… I think the only difference is the statefulness of the request. HTTP is stateless, but MCP has state? Is this right? I haven’t seen many use cases for how to use the

Serious question, as I’m starting to go through this process myself - Is it possible for the customer to provide their own bearer tokens (generated however) that the LLM can pass along to the MCP server? This was the closest to a workable s
