There are several higher level frameworks that wrap QEMU-KVM and make it easier to use. oVirt, libvirt and proxmox are among my favourites, with the latter being quite polished and with advanced features for HA use.

Probably a little of each. The repository "title" of swituo/openbilibili-go-common, when pushed through google translate, says: "I don't know if these are embarrassing... The troubles of morality are going out and t

"The issues with corporate social media are now well understood by large swathes of the public." Are they? Most of the people I know are still all "gimme my feed, gimme my like buttons", and couldn't care less about

The problem is that nobody except end users wants more secure OS. And end users do not matter.

I'm not sure a five years old child would even understand what or who a Jew is, or where Netherlands is (the ELI5 meme needs to die a fiery death), but otherwise, a very good example.

Even five year olds are taught not to talk to strangers and not to tell them anything. But somehow there seems to be a cognitive dissonance, where people are more than happy to share absolutely everything to anyone, just because it's h

After looking at the games they produce, I conclude that they're not a "gamedev company", they're nothing but dirty whale ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_roller ) hunters.

Let's expand the plans a bit: 1) open a store for online goods 2) take reviews seriously 3) profit, for a while 4) get bought out by amazon or someone else who will then proceed to kill "2" 5) if resisted, be a target of coor

It's more of "honest people leave society, society collapses". The heroism was coincidental, I find it hard to blame anyone for celebrating honesty.

In that case, the perception that current hardware security is good enough needs to change. Or the cloud vendors could start offering compute running on new, more secure hardware - e.g. special VM types marketed accordingly.

Few months back, there was a story here at HN about someone writing just such game to be played over a SSH connection. There were huge problems with the fact that you cannot reliably detect when the user stops pressing a key. IIRC, it was a

Not really. I've seen torrents of popular movies or series which were just a .zip file, which unpacked into an .exe file containing nothing but malware and tons of padding bytes to make the file have approximately correct size for what

You know, I never understood why people consider JSON better than XML. Yes, any particular use of XML can be overengineered (namespaces, I'm looking at you), but as long as you control the format or scheme or however you want to call i

"I need...", "We need..." The world doesn't really care about what you need. It simply doesn't work like that. If you have a need, do something about it and help out.

While you bring up valid concerns about the Matrix team's security hygiene, the point of an open standard is that anyone can (try to) spot flaws in it, and anyone can (try to) create their own implementation. I myself am waiting for a

It's quite common in enterprise to have a RTO of a few hours, and RPO of a few minutes, even for infrastructure with terrabytes of data. Of course, many moneys are paid for being able to do that.

"That BT is running a soon-to-be-defunct operating system for its display isn't particularly worrying." Indeed, what is more worrying is that Microsoft has managed to brainwash people into confusing "unsupported" an

In that case, they have a branding problem, and should rename Google Search to Google Answers.

My favourite way of illustrating the difference between 1st order and 2nd order thinking is actually a quote by Frederik Pohl: "A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam."

Not quite. Agile, when done right, by small-to-medium teams, can be effective. However, whenever a big corporation tries to jump on the agile bandwagon, it turns into nightmare fuel.

Interesting idea. All I've experienced so far was "Agile Enterprise Edition" - cargo-culting all the agile terms, wasting developer time in overly-long standups, yet having a fixed, set-in-stone schedule and delivery plan. Hi

Why not just have it installed on your system, and disallow websites to dictate which fonts to use? Edit to make the comment (hopefully) more valuable: I mean, unless certain choice of fonts is somehow intrinsic to the content or purpose a

I think the GP's point was that the likes of Facebook and Google are giving tracking bad rap, and we're at the point of not trusting anyone trying any tracking for any purpose whatsoever.
