    I’ve got a virtualized set up to.

    Its pretty unbothered being virtualized so long as the disks are passed through. In my set up, I have the SAS board passed through and its using that.

    My reasoning is that I wanted a lot of disks space, but I couldn’t get that without just a big case in general, so I use the extra space to store GPUs for AI and encoding stuff



  • I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.

    Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

    All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

    My save files are cloud synced for free.

    I as the end user am having a good time.

    I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

    They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).

    Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.


  • I’m personally allergic to doing anything to my distro other than installing games and VSCodium.

    Its why I barely understand the X11 v Wayland discussion. I have no idea how to customize my Linux set up, if a troubleshooting step says “May bork computer if done wrong” I just reinstall the Distro or try another one. It takes like 5-10 minutes to install Linux on most modern computers

    To me this is a feature of Linux. “It works on my distro” means I’m using that distro now!





  • Any recs for good, interesting, and/or accurate Rome movies?

    I avoid them myself on principal but I think “King Arthur” (2004) was interesting in that it showed the Romans incorporating conquered people into the roman ranks and using them appropriately. I also liked the implications of the Legendary King Arthur as a semi rebelious roman auxiliary.

    But other than that its a back sword and fantasy leather jacket mess. However, I won’t complain about Keira Knightly in fantasy war bikinis.

    Plot I remembered being good but I was too much of a nerd to focus on it.




  • Yeah!

    So i am running these three computers in a set up that let’s me manage virtual machines on them from a website with Proxmox.

    I want to play with a tool that let’s me run Docker Containers. Containers being a way to host services like websites and web apps without having to make a Virtual machine for each app.

    This has a lot of advantages but I’m trying to use the High Availability feature when you run these on a cluster of computers.

    My problem is that I know I can use the Built In container software in the already clustered Proxmox computers called LXC Linux Containers. However, I want to use a container software called Kubernetes but I would have to build Virtual machines on my servers and then cluster those virtual machines.

    Its a little confusing because I have three physical computers clustered together and I’m trying to then build three virtual computers on them and cluster those. Its an odd thing to do and that’s the problem.
