Sorry to break it to you, but that’s a bot.

The OP didn’t mention Proxmox in their post. I’ve been speaking generally, not about any specific OS. For example, Nvidia’s enterprise offerings include a license to use their “GRID” vGPU tech (and the enabled feature flag in the driver).

Why? Product segmentation I suppose. Last I looked, the Virtio project’s efforts were still work-in-progress. The Arch wiki article corroborates that today. Inconsistent behavior across brands and product lines.

I’ve also wanted to do this for a while, but there were always a few too many barriers to actually spin up the project. Here’s just a brain dump of things I’ve seen recently.

vGPUs continue to be behind a license. But there is now vgpu_unlock.

L1T just showed off PCIe “fabric” from Liqid that can switch physical devices between machines.

Turning VMs on and off isn’t as slick as either of the above, but that is doable today. You’ll just have to build all the switching automation yourself. That could just be a shell script running QEMU/libvirt commands, at a minimum.

Fortunately Gaben has only a minor interest in Volvo 😉.

But actually his son is involved in the games industry, and there’s plenty of other like-minded people at Valve. Hopefully the (far) future of Valve is as bright as its present.

There’s some history there, if you didn’t know. Jellyfin is a fork of Emby.

From your link:

Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

I’m not the best person to ask as I just chat on a few channels in a single server.

There definitely are software projects that run their real-time support through Matrix in the same way others do it through IRC or Discord.

At the same time most servers seem to have a General room (or similar) for off-topic chats.

Peruse the big list of public rooms here. That might give you a sense of it.

Featureset-wise it falls somewhere between IRC and Discord.

Custom bangs are private to the user. It’s not dissimilar to saving a bookmark in your browser, except your bookmarks are hosted by someone else.

It doesn’t have to be about legality either. Maybe you like a service that is being protested by DDG for whatever reason.

But they don’t allow bangs for sites that do illegal things like copyright infringement. Libgen was my example.

Make an effort to use bangs and I bet you’ll stay under the limit. Edit: bang searches don’t count towards the limit

Knowing I wanted a result from a certain site but using the search engine to get there was a (bad) habit I brought over from Google.

There’s even custom bangs, which is something DDG doesn’t give you: !libgen some book
