  • I think this is very interesting. I’ve been investigating the solutions and found that a lot of other platforms like scale hci, virtuozzo, and oracle VM are all based on the oVirt/Openstack platforms but have been customized.

    Openshift and Suse Harvester both have a very similar Kubernetes first approach which I think is interesting. Harvester seems to rely on KubeVirt to deploy “legacy workloads” (probably windows).

    The reason I mention openshift though is because I’ve been paying attention to Wendell, level1techs, and the level1 forums and Wendell keeps hinting that Redhat/IBM openshift + intel is being used as a VDI platform featuring Intel flexGPUs for a secret customer (I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a government facility like the national laboratory near Knoxville). I’m just trying to envision how that deployment looks.


  • Hot Take: There are only a handful of original super hero stories. Everything else is essentially Buffy the Vampire slayer.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love Buffy. It really set the modern standard for the modern TV and Movie super hero. The few SuperHero movies we get that aren’t a Buffy derivative tend to be more dark Alan Moore-esque derived stories. Alan Moore sees Heros as flawed, twisted, sad, and relatable. Buffy does this too but it’s wit and humor gives it a candy coated shell.

    “Dawn’s been kidnapped… Must be Tuesday”

    It also feels like they took the formula and put it on its head, instead of monster of the week we now get hero of the week. Audiences tend to come back for sequels when you have a strong cast of protags. But now you have too many protags and the monsters are all samey. This is how you eventually end up with DC character themed Isekai.

    Thanks for listening to my semi coherent rant.
