mtron_··on Patrick Stewart has died
What a wonderful thread. Thank you all for the great time I had reading this.

One small quote of his character from TNG that got deeply burned into my brain : "time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and allows us to cherish every moment because they will never come again"

mtron_··on Running MicroVMs in Proxmox VE, the Easy Way
< 300ms boot with HW isolation sounds very nice but the pve-daemon patching approach is risky and might break at every eye-blink.
mtron_··on Jira Is Turing-Complete
Bugzilla. Seriously.

Can be easily extended and unneeded fields can be disabled via template.

We use it since 20 years at a 6000 heads company and it's totally fine.

Only 1 lan port and only usb2 is not great...
mtron_··on European night train map 2024
I recently took the night train from Innsbruck to Hamburg in a brand new sleeper car run by ÖBB and those are a blast.

Searching for more routes I stumbled across this map and a pretty neat database of available European connections https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-list

Hope to see more connections in the coming years.

Will we get over 50% ipv6 adoption by the end of this decade?

mtron_··on A Spark of Insight into Neanderthal Behavior
They used a very cool way to analyze the Bones. Instead of chopping off samples the bones were put in a plasic Box and a tiny static upbild was enough to kick some molecules out of them which they analyzed and identified the species.

mtron_··on OpenBSD 6.5
ok, found it.

Can anyone share some insight why OpenBSD does not provide a more recent MariaDB Version ?
