The OP didn’t mention Proxmox in their post. I’ve been speaking generally, not about any specific OS. For example, Nvidia’s enterprise offerings include a license to use their “GRID” vGPU tech (and the enabled feature flag in the driver).

Why? Product segmentation I suppose. Last I looked, the Virtio project’s efforts were still work-in-progress. The Arch wiki article corroborates that today. Inconsistent behavior across brands and product lines.

I’ve also wanted to do this for a while, but there were always a few too many barriers to actually spin up the project. Here’s just a brain dump of things I’ve seen recently.

vGPUs continue to be behind a license. But there is now vgpu_unlock.

L1T just showed off PCIe “fabric” from Liqid that can switch physical devices between machines.

Turning VMs on and off isn’t as slick as either of the above, but that is doable today. You’ll just have to build all the switching automation yourself. That could just be a shell script running QEMU/libvirt commands, at a minimum.

Thanks for asking. Not sure how I toggled that on…

You can put the game into its own time namespace.

Thank you for calling that out. I’m well aware, but appreciate your cautioning.

I’ve seen hallucinations from LLMs at home and at work (where I’ve literally had them transcribe dates like this). They’re still absolutely worth it for their ability to handle unstructured data and the speed of iteration you get – whether they “understand” the task or not.

I know to check my (its) work when it matters, and I can add guard rails and selectively make parts of the process more robust later if need be.

I’d love a browser-embedded LLM that had access to the DOM.

“Highlight all passages that talk about yadda yadda. Remove all other content. Convert the dates to the ISO standard. Put them on a number line chart, labeled by blah.”

That’d be great UX.

I’d ask why they don’t make it optional (I’m not a Brave user) but it seems it was.

Another issue is that Strict mode is used by roughly 0.5% of Brave’s users, with the rest using the default setting, which is the Standard mode.

This low percentage actually makes these users more vulnerable to fingerprinting despite them using the more aggressive blocker, because they constitute a discernible subset of users standing out from the rest.

Given that, I’m inclined to agree with the decision to remove it. Pick your battles and live to fight another day.

Fortunately Gaben has only a minor interest in Volvo 😉.

But actually his son is involved in the games industry, and there’s plenty of other like-minded people at Valve. Hopefully the (far) future of Valve is as bright as its present.

There’s some history there, if you didn’t know. Jellyfin is a fork of Emby.

There are a lot of analogies but they all fail in some way. I think PBS Spacetime does the best in general, with good graphics to back up the words.

My layman’s explanation is probably all stuff you’ve heard before. Massive objects “warp” spacetime and things that get stuck in those “wells” eventually fall to the bottom due to drag (from a variety of sources).

You’ve also probably seen the rubber sheet with a bowling ball in the middle used to represent that warping. To visualize that in 3D, I like to imagine a 3D grid of nodes and edges (like a jungle gym of joints and bars) where the whole thing is flexed inward towards a center point. More warped near the center, less warped further out. That kind of conveys the acceleration from gravity felt by things around that center mass.

Thank you for calling this aspect out. I’m surprised so many people are overlooking it. I protest YouTube for the same reasons, but I’ve got one more to add.

When they merged Google Music into YouTube, the service became worse. I’d often have music streaming throughout the day over my speakers, but that broke after the merge.

Anytime I watched a video on my phone that had Content ID-recognized music in it (even in the background), they would cut the stream to my speakers because I am only allowed one stream with any music in it at all.

This isn’t the behavior when you use the ad supported service. Only the paid.

Not to mention all the proper features of Google Music that didn’t carry forward.

If you’re struggling to think of a use-case, consider the internet-based services that are commonplace now that weren’t created until infrastructure advanced to the point they were possible, if not “obvious” in retrospect.

• multimedia websites
• real-time gaming
• buffered audio – and later video – streaming
• real-time video calling (now even wirelessly, like Star Trek!)
• nearly every office worker suddenly working remotely at the same time

My personal hope is that abundant, bidirectional bandwidth and IPv6 adoption, along with cheap SBC appliances and free software like Nextcloud, will usher in an era where the average Joe can feel comfortable self-hosting their family’s digital content, knowing they can access it from anywhere in the world and that it’s safely backed up at each member’s home server.

From your link:

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

Mozilla stated that a while back.

How do I capitalize Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?

Only the first letter is capitalized (so it’s Firefox, not FireFox.) The preferred abbreviation is “Fx” or “fx”.

#8 in the FAQ

You’re right, it doesn’t. That does give me an idea though.

You could use overlayfs with an opaque upper directory to hide the files littering your $HOME and still access them by bind-mounting them into the appropriate xdg dirs.

Way more effort than it’s worth, of course.

I’m not the best person to ask as I just chat on a few channels in a single server.

There definitely are software projects that run their real-time support through Matrix in the same way others do it through IRC or Discord.

At the same time most servers seem to have a General room (or similar) for off-topic chats.

Peruse the big list of public rooms here. That might give you a sense of it.

Featureset-wise it falls somewhere between IRC and Discord.

Custom bangs are private to the user. It’s not dissimilar to saving a bookmark in your browser, except your bookmarks are hosted by someone else.

It doesn’t have to be about legality either. Maybe you like a service that is being protested by DDG for whatever reason.

But they don’t allow bangs for sites that do illegal things like copyright infringement. Libgen was my example.
