Do you, or anyone, happen to know, if WSL2 (=HyperV), or any other Hypervisor on Windows supports GVT-g (well), so that (wsl2) linux applications running on-guest can benefit from hardware assisted rendering?

I wasn't aware Intel still made "Desktop-AddIn cards", or that the Non-Mobile versions are in any relevant way different to the mobile versions. In any case, the page I linked above does not seem to draw a distinction. So I a

With Linux 4.16+ and an Intel Card of age Broadwell or newer (~2015+) you can use this howto: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_GVT-g . Adapt from Arch Linux if you have something else.

"for certain Intel systems" makes it sound rare. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_GVT-g says, anything Broadwell and up should work, so any device from 2015+ should work for creating vGPUs, and thus

You are misunderstanding what grease-monkey can do, and what I'm proposing. e.g. try loading news.ycombinator.com?myColorVar=44ff55 , it will load normally, as usual. Of course, this variable means nothing to the HN backend, but this i

Write a Grease-monkey (or equivalent) script, that reads your query variable, applies the value to the top bar, and then add that parameter to all links on the page. Optional: Then write a bookmarklet, that displays a color-picker, and relo

How about the memory usage? Can you (easily) nest 3mux like tmux with (auto-)grouped sessions to produce a (max) 9x9 "grid" of windows to organize your remote hosts, and their windows into an easily accessible structure. (I use th

I wish, there was an english version, because this looks very interesting. One curious thing I gleaned from the schema is that the scsi-bus can also be used to tunnel ethernet and remote file-systems, and not only block devices.

It was my impression, that OP was using the term "shit jobs" to denote jobs with low pay, but high effort, manual, dangerous, etc. "Plumbing" is therefore not a "shit job". It's well paid compared to most
