Just some guy hoping to reduce risk, avoid liability, and not take things too seriously while we do it. I mostly talk or read about Security Engineering and Homebrewing. Tha Ghàidhlig glè beagan agam ach tha mi ag ionnsachadh.
At best my own thoughts, totes not employers. (he/him/e/esan)
@clamhan Sona Là nan Athraichean!
@gunchleoc @clamhan Aye, here's hoping.
@clamhan @gunchleoc Considering who _usually_ stands to profit from AI, I don't think you're being reactionary at all. Hell, AI is so prevalent in my field that avoiding it is a competitive disadvantage. And I still side-eye the hell out of the tech...while using it things are mundane as job descriptions.
If done with the right intentions, with care, and for the right reasons I think it could be a godssend. A way to increase literacy and opportunity.
On my own learning journey, _you people_ are my Gàidhlig community. Y'all are great, but it only goes so far. I struggle, hard, with hearing the sounds and translating them into words. Subs would do wonders for someone like me.
Washington State Park created this playlist for those people:
@mactunag Super fair. Avoiding Oracle is always a good choice. I'm surprised at how little they've forked with the product since acquiring Sun. But...... Oracle.
VMware is a fantastic hypervisor, but the licensing is garbage. Personally I use ProxMox, but the learning curve is pretty steep.
@mactunag I almost never use the "default directory" for VirtualBox, so the clone failure is likely something deeper. Like maybe you have a dangling snapshot or the vhd has gotten corrupted.
IIRC, PopOS is a Debian spin just like Ubuntu. If so then Boxes should be available. It's a virtualization tool, like VBox, but is based on libvirt which is what KVM is based on. It's a little more reliable for constant workloads.
@wannabemystiker The airlock was mostly just because I wanted to cover it, but don't have a solid lid for that jar. In retrospect, I probably could have just thrown a towel over it.
Right now it's basically just tea, flower petals and water. Tomorrow night I'll be adding sugar, yeast, and orange peel.
@TTFKA_Tay0 This is kind of a fascinating concept. Have you done any wild yeast collection?
I've seen instructions on harvesting wild yeast from juniper berries and whatnot. I haven't yet but the idea is intoxicating.
@mactunag There was some vocabulary that I missed. But shockingly I followed along well enough to get it!
Is this a VM that you just turn on when you need it or is it running all the time? I'll be working in the garden a lot this weekend (gotta raise and level a flagstone walking path). My brain will be free for noodling.
