No one's going away from VMs any time soon (if ever). More than half of the workloads we see being migrated are Windows. Many more are odd/ancient RHEL versions running some very specific software where the manufacturer won&#x27

I work at Red Hat and a customer moving 40k servers off VMware is a fairly regular occurrence. It'd be one of the larger migrations but certainly not unusual. We can usually do about 500-1000 guests per day once the migration is full

The factory workers at the same company had respectable jobs and also gold-plated salaries. They were unionized but the only time I remember the union taking collective action was when the company was threated by a take-over by (what we&#x

My dad had a private office, and his secretary had one too. Both offices looked out over a lake, and were large rooms. My dad had an informal sofa area by the window, and the secretary's office was slightly less grand but still had p

> A [person] that just extracts capital by capturing real state and collecting rent is a great example, this person is a large net loss for the country. Even to their home country.

The book is far more interesting than the drama. In fact I'd go so far to say that the drama has really nothing much to do with the book besides the title and some superficial characters.

$DISPLAY is definitely different for each X11 screen, ie. :0.0 for the first screen, :0.1 for the second and so on. (:1, :2 is used for more instances of the X11 server). I can't recall any application able to use multiple X11 scree

Who is it that implements the rights around ownership? Who is it that will (possibly literally) go to war to defend this right? Maybe he should pay a bit of tax on this right since he expects others to defend it.

UK companies are forced to list beneficial owners, in order to cut through these kinds of shenanigans. It did take decades to get this change implemented because capital was deeply opposed to it. For some reason, I'm sure it's n

In theory the client could validate a specific server with a pinned certificate, although TLS implementations can make this difficult to do in practice. TLS also lets you use client certificates to authenticate the client to the server, wh

NBD (over TLS) would be even better because it loads on demand. You could ship large full-featured OS images and only the parts/features you used would be loaded. One day when I'm retired I plan to add this to OVMF.

That's not how anything works. Even if he says he's going to take responsibility, when the customer call comes in at midnight you're going to be the one fixing his problems.

Don't C++ designated initializers require you to initialize in struct order? That makes them kind of annoying to use.

Confidential computing is a whole thing with a key in each processor and a chain of trust and a way to remotely attest that your software is running in a secure enclave. All the vendors do it differently (sadly) but it's very much a s

AMD (and Intel and everyone else) processors already have an HSM inside for confidential computing so use that? I would hope the HSM isn't as badly implemented as this update mechanism, but then again ...

I was thinking to cynically ask a Googler I know to raise an internal ticket. The new page could be just: 1. Stop asking pesky questions. 2. Add Gemini buttons into everything. 3. If problems, see 1.

It's clear that those who voted recently for the President are getting what they wanted. Voting made a radical difference, even if the outcome isn't one I like. Whatever "studies" you read are obvious nonsense.

US law is something US citizens get to decide. If they think it's "batshit", they should vote accordingly. In this case sanctions seem a pretty good alternative to going to war.

ocamldep will set up the dependencies correctly. For examples, have a look at the multiple Makefile.am files in libguestfs, guestfs-tools & virt-v2v projects. All run as non-root so they don't change anything about "the syst

"US company must obey US law" doesn't make for a very interesting headline.

Make works fine with OCaml. There's a handful of rules you copy and paste around which is not ideal, but that's much easier to deal with than dune.

But this is about building radios, which is easier (probably?) now. You can drag and drop an FM radio in pure software (well, with a USB dongle). Or if you insist on hardware, use free tools and cheap PCB services to prototype your radi

Why do you think people who lucked into vast riches by being in the right place at the right time would be especially smarter than anyone else?
