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.

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.

I’m also a UBI layperson, but this is my understanding:

Basic incomes don’t need to match or exceed the cost of living to provide some of their purported benefits. One of those benefits is replacing difficult to administer welfare services (of which there are some discussions in this thread). In that way the $2700 per person per year can be more efficiently allocated (towards an ideal national gross prosperity) by the individual.

This might solve issues like the infamous “welfare cliff” that have arisen from difficulties in administration.

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”.

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 do that too. There are plenty of subthreads going arguing straw-use is an accessibility issue, but in my case, I just want them for specific drinks – mostly cocktails.

The head on a Ramos Gin Fizz practically requires a straw to enjoy. Especially as someone with a mustache.

Strongly recommend hay straws (like, made of “straw”).

They’re better than paper in that they don’t sog up. They’re inconsistent in size but that has never bothered me. A little flimsy, but I stir iced drinks with them all the time.
