@dirkdierickx I'll never forget the cheat code for Shadow of the Beast 2: ten pints
When and where to enter it is a bit hazier.
At a glance:
- Version 6/lts doesn't support docker containers (though it seems a newer version does). I run Vaultwarden and Immich - I like pre-packaged containers.
- I won't spend enough time with the tool to master the its CLI, and the webui seemed limited - eg: it didn't seem to allow me to bridge a VM to my local network (but I could do this with the command line tool)
Maybe in time...
Playing around with Incus app/container/vm management ( https://linuxcontainers.org/ ) - I don't think it solves a problem for me.
I was hoping for something open, with a web front end, that would provide a simple interface for managing docker containers, a couple VMs, and associated network/storage. Amateur + small potatoes (8th gen i5, 10 tb storage, 16 gb ram).
But I think I'll stick with virt-manager for VMs + Portainer.
Too much fun fiddling. I have an "always on" micro PC near my stereo, mostly hosting simple services I want to access from the Internet. I'd had a Pi acting as an AirPlay server. Why couldn't that go on the PC? Well, Ubuntu has no audio devices until a user is logged in...
10000 hours later. Small Ubuntu Server VM running on server, autologs in, running shairport-sync, playing back AirPlay through Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. Victory!
Before Ontario shut down its coal power plants (Nanticoke was the last to go in 2013), we'd get smog days in Toronto.
The last few summers, all the air quality warnings have been from wildfire smoke from far away. Presumably we had these before, but I guess to a lesser extent, and they were outnumbered by smog days?
We've had a few bad air quality days this summer - though we have a warning today, it doesn't seem as bad as previous ones.
