Just wanted to mention, I do this for work apps, including Autodesk products (and a bunch of niche industry apps).

I have a base VM for Windows (really for a few different versions of windows, some applications are horrifically outdated but still needed), which has nothing installed but the bare necessities. None of the junk from the microsoft store, just a working set of drivers, including GPU for pass through. I block local network access for everything but access to a specific directory on my NAS (mounted proxmox-side so Windows doesnt see it as a network endpoint, just as a mounted drive).

I clone that image for each application I want to run independently.

Its been my method for a good few years now, aside from my work laptop its the only bit of windows I have. It also keeps a nice separation of my work stuff from my personal stuf.

I then boot the VM for whatever application I need, and off we go!

Highly recommended if you've got the setup to support it. And you don't have to go anywhere near the extent I do, I mention it just to share how far you can take an approach like this.

Hope it helps!

Those caps are a lot to fun! Can I ask who makes them/where you found them?

Completely fair, I was thinking of the little 15W desk lamp stuff, but the bigger/brighter incandescents could rival my desktop for sure!

Similar cost, more flexibility, quite a bit more power - usff PCs. Tiny / mini / micro, used. Less wattage than an incandescent light bulb, and some can compete with a pi 5 in idle power consumption.

I've got an elitedesk 800 (i5-7500t) clocking in at about 6W at idle. Take a look and see if it will work for you.

Yup!

But capitalism is a dogshit, self-destructive and nonsensical system. At best, well made regulation can hold the worst of it at bay.

In reality though... Well, we can just look around to see why a bandaid isnt a fix.

Yeah I'll go ahead and blame my eyes (need to get my fucking reading glasses) for missing a whole word there.

Either way - yeah, sexual attraction has fuck all to do with the birthrate.

I would take that further and say have one parent have enough money from one job so either parent can stay home.

That looks like some high quality speed paste right there!

Because they are trying to make it about db0 being a tankies instance which is.... Ridiculous from the start.

A certain well known troll and a few overzealous .world users/mods/mega posters believe it to be true (aka, really want it to be true) and will do stupid things like this to make it seem true.

Idiots are idiots, I'd just report and move on.

No worries, it read to me like you were explaining the bit without seeing the joke

Ahh, the wonders of text-only communication!
