  • After all the work on the homelab lately, I decided it was finally time to put my big boy panties on and drop VMware on the workstation like a sack of rotten potatoes and go QEMU/KVM+VirtManager. Old ESXi habits die hard I suppose? :D

    You're using Arch with a window manager, but VMware is like an insult to that setup, it was about time to start using tools that big boys use.

    Right! I'd been using VMware since I got comfortable enough with linux to start virtualizing some years ago. Even after getting into homelabbing it never dawned on me that I could turn this dang thing into a Hypervisor lol! Boy howdy what a good day it's been haha. Now I can have me a proper isolated daily compute! Buttery smooth!
    I decided to run a recent interaction between me and a couple of linux.org elders through AI for funzies and told it to provide me with an analysis of my behavior. I found it comedic and amusing.

    AlphaObeisance represents the exhausted mentor. He wants people to be better than they are. His "brutal" honesty is a reaction to a world where tech is increasingly a "black box" that users aren't allowed (or don't want) to open. He’s the kind of guy who will spend four hours fixing your broken GRUB bootloader, but he’ll call you an idiot every thirty minutes while he does it."

    That is the most accurate personality analysis I've ever had baha! I just about bust a gut chuckling at this insight given the context of the conversation. I might add that while I might call you an idiot every 30 minutes while spending 4 hours fixing your GRUB bootloader; I'd so so with a wink and a chuckle.

    That moment that something simple stumps you for the better part of a whole day and makes you question your every skill set 0_o. One of them days!

    There are several FOSS AI options out there; but it's seemingly uncommon knowledge; so for those with the hardware, consider starting here.

    Personally I started with and still generally use Mixtral through ollama.

    Code:
