Coming from a decade of vmware esxi and then a few years certified Nutanix, I was almost instantly at home clustering proxmox then added ceph across my hosts and went ‘wtf did I sell Nutanix for’. I was already running FreeNAS later truenas by then so I was already converted to hosting on Linux but seriously I was impressed.
Business case: With what you save on licensing for Nutanix or vsan, you can place all nvme ssd and run ceph.
Unlike the other commenter, I’ve never seen it and it looks good and easy enough! Thank you for sharing.
Not sure where you’re from, but I’m from Australia and so my experience in the 8 times I’ve been in Japan and 6 times in Taiwan, you don’t need a car. A car can be pleasure. You can use a car, but to move millions of people a day, really good public transport is needed. Being able to walk to a interconnected grid of transport, that can link buses, trains and underground rail allows for better night life, better work balance with being able to study or watch entertainment in transit, and everything is open and accessible. Getting back to Australia with hundreds of in-build multi storey mixed commercial residential complexes but primarily cars to travel makes no sense. We have a housing crisis but no infrastructure to support the density needed where the people work and live. But a culture who remembers 30 years ago when the population density was lower, labour was more common at warehouses not as much knowledge work and were more disperse over space, everyone had backyards with hills hoists, and two car garage and a shed. Those days are gone but nobody wants the infrastructure noise or density, but it’s too late. We have all that but without transport options.
Our trains are so bad that they need to be on 15 minute at rush hour intervals because schedules are hard and they’d crash otherwise. Japan has them coming every 2-3 minutes. Imagine going to the station not knowing the time table because at most it’s 3 minutes to wait after work for the next one, if it’s too packed, wait 2 more.
Your mileage my vary where you are, but in 10 years I can’t see this population growth and density growth being solved with cars.
I’ll bite, I miss the sysadmin and msp communities. I didn’t post much ever and won’t ever, but I learned a lot there over years. I’m not getting that here, and it’s pretty much why I was on reddit.
As a sysadmin, I handle windows, cloud, Linux, networks, BSD, and more daily. But the “Linux desktop is best” crew are more cult than community & my personal desktop is Linux, which I like, but it’s not the answer for my parents, my partner or most of my friends or clients.
I gloss over American politics since I’m not American.
I don’t hate cars. But I’m an advocate for walkable cities. I love cars in fact. I would quit my job if I could earn enough just restoring cars slowly all day.
But I’m still here. So that’s also a statement.
Yep. I am absolutely fascinated by it. Totally agree with you, you couldn’t be more right. I’m a heavy AI user and I love seeing those 2 minute papers about what clever people are doing with it, like creating a swarm of AIs to create a game using giving AIs roles and responsibilities and reporting hierarchy, code review, and more. On the other side I literally made copyright infringing material by accident.
While public ones might get some safe guards to help prevent people from doing bad things easily and intentionally, there’s plenty of unrestricted ones coming in, scraping the internet, training and offering a moral free AI. The arms wars have begun on all kinds of fronts. I can’t predict where we will be in 5 years from now.
Id be betting pessimistically though
I seriously wonder how some of you read comics as kids, and if that explains who you are as adults.
Standardised is a funny word, a car manufacturer doesn’t standardise. Laws and 3rd parties like ANCAP do.
When they need to do it to sell it with certain safety requirements, they will.
However, even if those happen, and car makers today start building them with that, it’ll take a decade or longer before you’ll start seeing them in majority on the road. So even if you lobby for it, expect time since I’d say less than half of all people buy new cars, so it’s not until the second hand market sees it will it be commonplace.
Right now the second hand market is starting to see things like collision avoidance systems and they will often flash brake lights when emergency braking on behalf of the driver.
