  • Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint Eye Age Verification Amid California Law Backlash

    Jump

  • What age do service accounts get? I have "user accounts" that exist purely to run services and are not intended for login. Several of these are owned by the team and not an individual. Who provides the age verification for those?

  • Israel orders more than 500,000 people to evacuate Beirut’s southern suburbs [Update] Israeli military begins strikes on Beirut suburbs

    Jump

  • This makes sense now. Israel initiates hostilities with Iran to draw the US in and reduce the retaliatory power available to hezbollah that was Iran. Now they have an open door for some land grabbing.

    Goddamn warhawks.

  • How to Automate QEMU/KVM VM Deployments?

    Jump

  • It has been 7 or 8 years since I touched it, but yes. I extended some intern-built VMware automation to ovirt so we could validate KVM images and reduce VMware costs for internal dev and because that was the platform the manager decided on. We initially only dedicated 6U or 8U to it.

    In general, I'd say it worked just fine and the python sdk was approachable. It wouldn't be my first choice knowing it's Oracle Virtualization now, but that's a moral stance instead of technical.

    As for maintaining it long term, I can't really say. I left that team to go play in the clouds with terraform and kubernetes. But I also haven't heard anything negative from that team since (and I'm still friends with one of the system engineers who is responsible for it). And there was a much needed fundamental rewrite of the bits I original extended that continued with ovirt that went smoothly.

  • How to Automate QEMU/KVM VM Deployments?

    Jump

  • It sounds like you want to create a vm template image.

    Some options:

    Both virsh and virt-manager have tools for managing libvirt xml files that you can turn into a template to use for launching additional images.

    Proxmox and ovirt both have template concepts and APIs you can interact with for automation.

    If you're looking to create a golden image or just automate configuration, virt-clone, ansible, puppet, packer, and even pxe boot are good options depending on the methods you prefer.

    There are so many well-established ways to approach this problem domain. Just don't get decision paralysis. There isn't a best either.

  • backups

    Jump

  • Bold of you to assume people/companies test backups more than once.

    Case in point: I once got instructed to "enable EBS snapshots" for customer deployments to meet a new backup requirement. Disaster recovery was a completely different feature we only kind of got to a couple years later and afaik, remains manual to this day.

  • Yep, the slidey shoe has teflon on the bottom. You find all sorts of new stabilizing muscles being on the ice with one of those on and trying to move around. You'd be thrown out quickly if you got near curling ice with skates. Hockey/Arena ice is fucking awful to curl on even with some serious prep. No where near flat and full of skate gouges that catch the rock/broom/sliding foot.

    Curling ice is also "pebbled" (intentionally sprinkled with water) and then "nipped" (peaks of the pebble shaved off) to further reduce friction for the rock. Sweeping affects the pebble in several ways affecting the "curl" of the rock (make it straighter or curve more) and the "weight" of the rock (make it go farther).

  • Billionaire Trump Donor Closing U.S. Plant and Moving Work to China

  • Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson plans to offshore the East Lake, Ohio, plant of Conn Selmer, the largest U.S. manufacturer of brass and orchestra instruments.

    “We can’t have American producers closing American factories and offshoring. We need to protect American jobs and protect American manufacturing,” Paulson said just last year.

  • Update cant find qemu

    Jump

  • As another commenter pointed out, the current issue is due to the docker-desktop package being maintained outside the normal channels (AUR) and not getting updated when one of its dependencies moves forward (qemu). CachyOS seems to be letting you install from AUR as part of your normal pacman process and it's going to lead non-experts into situations like this. I separate my installs from AUR and system packages for this reason (among others).

    Your choice is:

    • just wait for the person who maintains the docker-desktop package to update it
    • remove the docker-desktop package and update normally
    • potentially break things by temporarily ignoring the docker-desktop package so you can update normally.

    Honestly, I'd personally advocate for tossing docker entirely and migrating to podman which has its own podman-desktop GUI. Since it is maintained by red hat, you'll always have the latest and greatest without weird issues.

    Beyond that, I'd say uninstall this package and install docker without the desktop GUI according to the guide.

  • ⚠️ NOTE: Docker Desktop is not supported, you will run into issues if you use it

    That's from the winboat GitHub page.

    Not entirely sure what you're trying to do though.

  • I Went to the March for Billionaires

  • The event topped out, by my count, at 18 pro-billionaire attendees, who hoisted signs with slogans such as Tip Your Landlord and Property Rights Are Human Rights.

    More words in that sentence than there were attendees.

  • Frontier AI agents violate ethical constraints 30–50% of time, pressured by Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

    Jump

  • Well, that explains why corporate is so intent on them. They're creating the perfect little KPI-driven stooge.

    Heck, now I'd like to see a study on KPIs (as a concept) as a reality distortion lens. It would seem like they have inadvertantly created a way to calculate a reality alignment index for a given KPI. Is it reasonable to conclude that using KPIs to measure performance is, in itself, unethical behavior?

    To go a bit further: Is there a correlation between the number of KPIs and the likelihood of creating scenarios in which the only desirable outcome lies outside reality? That is, how many KPIs does it take to get sufficient competition between priorities that it effectively requires hallucinating a solution to achieve a sufficiently aligned result?
