I use it solely to give a webui for managing virtual machines on individual servers.

It hooks into libvirt for this, so I can also manage them via virsh et al, but it's a nice tool to set up the essentials of a VM and provide remote access to the VM console.

A `cockpit doctor` style command that extra plugins like cockpit machines can extend.

I've found that Cockpit Machines is really unreliable on Debian and it's nothing really to do with Cockpit - it's things like dbus settings that break Cockpit.

eg, having to add this to make it reliable on my Debian Trixie install:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
  <busconfig>
    <limit name="max_match_rules_per_connection">4096</limit>
  </busconfig>

It would be fantastic if Cockpit could spot known issues like this and warn the user/administrator.

I think it depends what you’re used to. LXC containers I see as more of a lightweight pseudo VM, whereas docker is more about truly ephemeral containers that you don’t maintain, but instead throw away and replace regularly just keeping data.

On macOS, basically all of these are extra permissions that you have to grant to an application - you'll get prompted with a popup when they try to do it.

eg: local network access, access to the documents and desktop folder, screen recording, microphone access, accessibility access (for keylogging), full disk access, all require you to grant permission

Several specific ones:

- Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (joining the hallowed company of Russia and Belarus!)

- leaving the World Health Organisation

- get rid of net-zero climate targets, replacing them with fast-tracked approval for more North Sea oil & gas licenses and fracking

- public enquiry on “Vaccine Harms”

Yes - Reform UK is a far right populist party. They currently have 5 out of 650 MPs and are steadily gaining popularity - similar to the rise of other parties like AfD across Europe.

That was very interesting reading, thanks!

Do Synology actually use the multi-device options of btrfs, or are they using linux softraid + lvm underneath?

I know Synology Hybrid RAID is a clever use of LVM + MD raid, for example.

I reliably come out of this with Inconsolata. It's not a bad font, but I do prefer SF Mono & Monaco - it would be nice if this showed them in the tree if they were installed.

I have an Intel NUC 8i5BEH that does this repeatedly. Pain in the backside. The best way to “fix” it that I found quickly is to unplug the NUC and short the power connector for a few seconds. :/

The Pi5 is quite reasonable, and the Pi 500 by extension, but I just have two things that I wish they’d fix:

I wish the NVMe port was populated. The Pi 5’s desktop performance feels massively better with a cheap NVMe drive compared to a microSD card.

It would also be much better if it worked with full functionality with an actually standard USB-PD power adapter instead of requiring a custom 5V 5A adapter. The whole point of USB-C and USB-PD is reusability. Instead, for the Pi5/500 I have to buy a dedicated USB power adapter rather than using the existing 45W/65W/100W ones I already own.

This situation is a real mess when you being in international rights too - eg F1TV largely doesn’t operate in F1’s biggest markets as the rights to live broadcast are still owned by existing cable/satellite networks.

I’m not convinced either of them would even want to.

AMD used to have fabs - they spun them off a long time ago as GlobalFoundries. They’re no longer competitive with TSMC, Samsung, or even Intel for modern nodes.

The video is fine, the title doesn’t mention m.2 at all :)

Worth noting - this is not a m.2 adapter, you couldn't use it to attach standard drives. This is an adapter for fitting proprietary flash cards with NAND on.
