zatarc··on Run Docker containers natively in Proxmox 9.1 (OCI images)
I've been running Docker natively on the host since Proxmox 7. The only major problem was an iptables rule that I had to add so that the containers are accessible from outside. Besides that, it runs smoothly.

Intel will settle in Magdeburg. The "AMD" Fab in Dresden belongs to GlobalFoundries (AMD sold its last GlobalFoundries shares in 2012).

zatarc··on AWS doesn't make sense for scientific computing
I'm not in a position to recommend or not a particular provider for gpu-equipped servers, simply because I've never had the need for gpus.

My first thought was related to colocation services. From what I understand, a lot of people avoid on-premise/in-house solutions because they don't want to deal with server rooms, redundant power, redundant networks, etc.

So people go to the cloud and pay horrendous prices there.

Why not take a middle path? Build your own custom server with your perferred hardware and put in a colocation

zatarc··on AWS doesn't make sense for scientific computing
Why does no one consider colocation services anymore?

And why do people only know Hetzner, OVH and Linode as alternatives to the big cloud providers?

There are so many good and inexpensive server hosting providers, some with decades of experience.

Maybe this is part of the training. Paying overpriced fees and stay addicted to the cloud.

I've tried it on Fedora:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-f...

> The latest version of .NET that's available in the default package repositories for Fedora is .NET 5. Installing .NET 6 through the default package repositories is coming soon. For now, you'll need to install .NET 6 in one of the following ways:

> Install the .NET SDK or the .NET Runtime with Snap.

> Install the .NET SDK or the .NET Runtime with a script.

> Install the .NET SDK or the .NET Runtime manually.

Nope, thank you

zatarc··on Pyjion – A Python JIT Compiler
Pyjion requires: CPython 3.10 and .NET 6

.NET 6 Release: 19 hours ago (https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/6...)

... ok.

zatarc··on EU plans to force OEMs to use a common charger for all phones
Germany: hold my beer! 1.78€ or $2.09

But thats not point here. Everyone is talking about the climate change and then we want to charge millions or billions of phones with ~50% extra power?

Good idea!

zatarc··on How to end up with 500k commits in your log
Just use (feature-)branches.

You can commit every single character if you in the mood. At the end, when your new feature is complete, you just squash all commits in this branch to one single commit ("add feature xyz") and merge/rebase it to your main dev branch.

Now it is really easy to identify the actual code behind a new feature.
