  • A microwave does not use resistive heating and works on a completely different principle and therefore the amount of power available is much less importance.

    Insane troll logic

  • Your dog is probably just dreaming.

    Mine does it and she sometimes starts making small barks in her sleep and twitching her legs while she does so. I assume that she's dreaming about a long fun chase.

    Do keep an eye on it and reach out to a vet if you're concerned, but it sounds pretty normal based on what you've described.

  • You could probably fit something inside the chassis, but why? It doesn't have standard mounting hardware for any ATX form factor, you'll need to source a slim PSU, and at the end of the day, without a ton of effort to make the build work, and additional thought put into the cooling (etc) you're going to destroy a working console for a pretty average result with a lot of trade-offs.

    TL;DR, bad idea. You can do better.

  • It's not quite what you've asked for here, but as a Dev I'd be remiss if I didn't shill for Gentoo.

    It ticks your rolling release box, has fantastic docs, a huge package repository (and the community repo Guru), and by design enables almost infinite configurability and customisation. We also have a binary package repository now for popular architectures, so you can choose to avoid compiling if you don't want to deviate from sane defaults (or only compile in cases where you do!)

    On the hardware side, we have fantastic support for a number of architectures, I recently brought up a SPARC system and have some arch64 and riscv in the past.

    Finally, even if you just decide to check the distro out, the process of installing, configuring, and maintaining a Linux system is outlined in detail within our handbook, and can provide a peek behind the scenes at what some other distros abstract; it's a fantastic learning experience for those interested.

    Finally, we have fantastic support through volunteers in official IRC channels and forums, as well as unofficial hubs like discord.

    Hopefully I've planted a seed and you'll check it out down the line. :)

  • Don't worry too much about it: it's not the 80s and we're not the Soviets.

    Once it's in orbit it doesn't matter and if there's issues during ascent the source will be hardened to prevent catastrophic release.

    Realistically though, just send it up on a falcon 9, the track record on those things is _ astounding_.

  • Contrast that with CLI where if you forgot or don't know any command there is little help or indicator of what's available and what can be done without external help.

    man would like to have words with your strawman.

    Let's do Gentoo HPC (Week One)!

    I've been interested in switching away from $PROPRIETARY_VENDOR's HPC node / cluster management offering for a while, and the opportunity has finally arisen - $VENDOR has decided to massively hike up their prices, so it's time to look at alternatives.

    The top option on my list is Warewulf. Warewulf is a stateless node management tool, where stateless means "we boot any image you want into memory" (compared with competing implementations which do 'magic' to image a node's disk every boot). There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach.

    The thing that attracts me most to Warewulf is that they've come to the conclusion that most HPC "disk images" are basically container images. Rather than using a chroot directory as an image (as do so many competing implementations) Warewulf have leaned wholeheartedly into the concept, and have adopted the OCI

    Make hardened, lightweight container images with Kubler

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.srcfiles.zip/post/3841

    What is Kubler?

    Kubler is a generic, extendable build orchestrator, written in Bash. It can be used to take advantage of Portage's features to build lightweight Docker or Podman images without needing to mess with crossdev, or as a tool to assist with ebuild development.

    Why should you use it?

    • You like lightweight, easy-to-create, containers
    • You want to reduce the attack surface by including only what's required
    • You want to take advantage of USE flags to manage package features
    • You want the awesome package library offered by the Gentoo ebuild repository (and other ebuild repos)
    • You want up-to-date containers
    • You want a containerised environment for building and testing ebuilds

    A real-world example

    I recently needed to integrate a containerised application with a vendor-managed openldap ins

    This instance is currently (2023-07-04) experiencing issues with the pictrs storage backend timing out when attempting to store new images. It's been raised upstream, there may be some brief outages to update containers until this is resolved and this post is updated.

    So you're thinking of using this instance?

    What is this?

    It's yet another Lemmy instance formed by a refugee from the Great Reddit Exodus of 2023.

    It's run by u/Kangie and is done entirely for shits and giggles and to learn more about the fediverse.

    I can' t promise that the instance will stick around forever, but I can say that I'll provide some warning if I decide to take it all down.
