That’s a bit ridiculous, no one is forcing you to interact with his work. I find his articles to be informative source on the practical aspects of LLMs. And clearly other people agree. This is a very meaningless resentment to harbor.
Who are comparable providers in your opinion? Hetzner has KYC and needs ID for you to use their services, I’d rather go with a service that didn’t. Any recommendations?
Quickemu gives me the ability to instantly spin up a full blown VM without fiddling with QEMU configurations, just by telling it what OS I want.
This might be less useful for those who are quite familiar with QEMU, but it’s great for someone like me who isn’t. So this saves me a whole lot more than 2 minutes. And that’s generally what I want from a wrapper: improved UX.
I find NNN and Ranger a lot more ergonomic as a UX, but MC’s virtual file system is so good, the ability browse folders seamlessly whether local, remote, zip, tar, jar in the same interface etc is really useful.
I guess we’re accustomed to thinking that absence of a file is not “exception-worthy” because it is expected under normal circumstances. But the cases you raised make sense.
This is literally all I can think about these days. I’m getting paranoid and I want to start my OS from a clean slate and use sandboxing for every project. I spend so much time auditing random scripts and libraries because I run them on my laptop.
But sandboxing options aren’t that great right now. Docker doesn’t cut it because it isn’t a security sandbox, and full blown VMs with vagrant have too much friction and needs lots of resources.
I think this is something where Firecracker (Amazon’s lightweight VM) can really shine. But it needs a better a DevEx to act as a disposable/reusable environment that’s easy to start up, easy to specify dependencies. Maybe something uniting firecracker and nix would be the sweet spot for both isolation and reproducibility.
I’m rambling but it feels like this should be a solved problem, maybe it is and I don’t know where to look.
I’m confused, why would a kernel need to be signed if you don’t actually care about secureboot? If you have a signed GRUB, then UEFI with SB will run it, after which you can use GRUB to launch any kernel, signed or not, right?
