I think we're mixing terms on green/yellow. When I said green I meant the lime/lemon/citrus original flavor of Gatorade.

When mixed with vodka it creates an almost recognizability "margarita" flavor which works (at least for me)

Uh yeah, that's the whole idea. I can always just bring it offline and mount the root as a separate disk to a different VM to investigate.

This is really cool. I appreciate you sharing it. I'm currently building out my homelab to try out various softwares and scenarios, and one of the things I'm worried about is malicious software sneaking in, and compromising my LAN.

In the case that something does, this essentiallyy provides a tripwire which leaves all the evidence intact while stopping the bleed (unless it has a VM escape, but that's another story).

In any case, this is very useful and I'm really glad you made it. Thanks!

I think their point is, yes, of course you can use another engine, because, at its core, an engine spins a drive train. That's all it does. However, to replace one engine with another, you may need to change every hose, mount, sensor, and customize the computer, because what it shipped with assumes you're using... What it shipped with.

Yeah the hay being in there makes it a pretty good bet you found an old icebox!

Before the days of man-made refrigeration, they kept blocks of ice in insulated chambers like this, and gradually chipped away at it over the summer months to keep their food cool and fresh.

Awesome find!

I've been fully daily driving Linux for about 15 years now, and for me it's almost all Arch now.

I started out distro-hopping between Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Slack, etc, but once I found Arch (and spent two weeks getting it installed, booted, and customized exactly to my liking) I was finally at home.

I know the meme. I'm not here to claim superiority, or diminish the value of other perfectly good distros. I love Debian, I love Void, Ubuntu can die in a fire, etc.

What I love about Arch is the lack of bloat. You get precisely what you ask for, no more, no less. You can legitimately run htop and recognize literally every program, and know if something's wrong immediately.

Every one of my Arch boxes is a perfect little snowflake, suited to exactly the task(s) I built it for. And if there was anything I had to learn or configure along the way? That's just the journey, man.

I have been eyeballing NixOS though...
