Been happily and very successfully using the official binpkgs, it works really well, sometimes there's a slight delay for the binary versions of the source packages to appear in the repositories, but that's about it. I guess it's kind of running Arch, but with portage <3! And the occasional compilation because your use flags didn't really match the binaries

this is correct, there's even a precompiled kernel (dist-kernel), it works great! and when packages doesn't match your system settings, portage will pull the source and compile them. it's great!

I think some older instance types are still on xen, later types run kvm (code named nitro.. perhaps?). I can’t remember the exact type but last year we ran into some weird issues related to some kernel regression that only affected some instances in our fleet, turns out they where all the same type and apparently ran on xen according to aws support

If you’re using AWS there’s ImageBuilder, it’s by no means a drop-in replacement for packer and a closer look hints at just being ansible behind the scenes. You could probably achieve the same results with pure ansible and some cloud provider modules if needed. Ansible was bought by Redhat though, so still IBM, the licence is unchanged though

Leons daughter Vera talked a bit about her father, his relationship to Kubrick, art and family in “Sommar i P1”, a Swedish national radio show where people in “public interest” talk about whatever for an hour or so. It’s pretty interesting and provide some insights, but unfortunately it’s only in Swedish

I really hope the crazy prize increase of vmware products will end the use of esxi and the rest of the vsphere suite, it is one of the worst applications and apis i have ever had the displeasure of working with!

Second this, it’s simple, made with bash, git and gpg. Been using it for years myself, I’ve also used it as a shared password store at different workplaces with ease.
