Absolutely not.

It’s a trap.

There’s a WIP VirtIO driver in a PR but it’s not done yet. VMware’s own VMSVGA is open source if I remember correctly. I wonder if they’ll adapt it to KVM and if they do, whether that’ll be usable in KVM without VMware.

If we get VirtIO 3D acceleration in Windows guests from this, I’d be really happy.

While not entirely wrong, I’d take anything out of free market fundamentalists mouths like the ones at Mises with a gain of salt.

You could use a systemd unit file:

[Unit]
Description=docker_compose_systemd-sonarr
After=docker.service 
Requires=docker.service

[Service]
TimeoutStartSec=0

WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/sonarr

ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker compose kill --remove-orphans
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker compose down --remove-orphans
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker compose rm -f -s -v
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker compose pull
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker compose up

Restart=always
RestartSec=30

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You’d place your compose file in the working dir /var/lib/sonarr. Depending on what tag you’ve set for the image in the compose file, it would be autoupdated, or stay fixed. E.g. lscr.io/linuxserver/sonarr:latest would get autoupdated whereas lscr.io/linuxserver/sonarr:4.0.10 would keep the container at version 4.0.10. If you want to update from 4.0.10, you’d have to change it in the compose file.

And there are breaking changes in this Jellyfin release.

Sounds a bit like the drug dealer’s business model.

I think federated non-profit video platforms won’t work on large scale without P2P.

The distance and the budget call for 75-85". I have had good luck with an entry level Sony. I bought an X85K 85" two years ago. It’s one step above the cheapest model. The cheapest model was an IPS panel which had a bit shittier performance. I don’t recall in what regard. X85K is a Samsung panel. It’s a standard no-nonsense LED side backlight which is very robust over time. The original unit was a lemon. It developed a line across the screen. I got it replaced under warranty. The second unit has been flawless so far. Software-wise, it’s a bog-standard Android TV/Google TV. Doesn’t require Internet connection to setup. With that said I use a CCwGTV with it and I don’t hear a peep from the TV OS about anything. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the price at the time. I bought it straight from Sony, they ship from GTA. It was available from other retailers too. I think this model might still be current actually. I still see it on Sony’s web along with another one - X85J.

Prior to that I had an entry level Samsung 75". It was fine too. Didn’t require Internet. The panel was a similar affair, slightly worse in terms of blacks and uniformity but I’m sure that wasn’t due to its Samsungness but was simply a cheaper panel than what Sony uses.

Cool window manager.

I’m hooking mine up on games as soon as they can hold a mouse and a keyboard, airgap the PC.

Do you mean via QEMU without hardware acceleration?

This is correct. There’s no containerization like LXC/Docker.

Termux doesn’t run arbitrary software. There’s a pretty large set that does but plenty doesn’t. A VM would resolve that.

There’s zero MS in the stack on anything with SYNC4 and newer. Your salesperson is wrong. Even development is largely done on Ubuntu. SYNC 4 has two front ends, one’s Qt which has some Panasonic outsourcing baggage, the newer one is web based. The latter is what’s in the Mach-e. Since about 2017 all of this has moved in house. Ford hired the whole BlackBerry mobile R&D org in late 2016 - people, offices and everything. It’s had an honest-to-god software org since then.

Your Flex probably had the older SYNC iteration that was MS developed. BTW I’m not sure if it was Windows based or whether it was QNX with MS devs creating the software stack on top of it.

SYNC 4 is QNX, the next gen units like the one in the new Lincoln Nautilis is QNX + Android with some Linux on other ECUs. MS is firmly gone from Ford vehicles.

Neither is SteamOS.

Valve is doing this? Not Android since 2008?

Heck we know people don’t give a shit what’s under the covers since at least the switch between Windows 98 and 2000/XP, the latter being a very different OS. It could have been BSD or Linux and people wouldn’t have bat an eye if the start menu looked the same and Word, Corel Draw, Photoshop and AutoCAD worked.
