Reminds me of https://github.com/poettering/diskomator

The HP z2 mini g1a supports a BMC module that is a full redfish implementation, so it can do virtualmedia and UEFI configuration read/write.

I was pretty disappointed to discover DGX spark has no BMC. I was able to hook it up to pikvm by connecting leads to the power switch wires. It honestly works really well and I can provision it with MAAS

Shout-out to pikvm for their redfish support with the pikvm switch

Great writeup there are quite a few here that are new to me

  Spark:
  OS: Windows/Ubuntu
  Mbw: 300GB/s
  Cuda cores: 6000
  GPU accelerated containers: yes


  M5 max:
  OS: macOS
  Mbw: 600GB/s
  Cuda cores: 0
  GPU accelerated containers: no

microceph is pretty nice and straightforward for throwaway s3 endpoints

How is changing the architecture of a platform that only you make hardware for doing the impossible?

They could change the architecture again tonight, and start releasing new machines with it. The users will adopt because there is literally no other choice.

Every machine they release will be fastest and most capable on the platform, because there is no other option

You are confusing macos guests on KVM (Linux) and macos guests on ESXi which is a real enterprise product, and officially enables you to run as many macos vms as your hardware supports.

An artificial limit on the number vms you are allowed to launch doesn't make it solid

VMware vSphere is not a product intended to be used by consumers. It's intended to be run by enterprises at scale. ESXi is running the vms not macOS.

Being unexpectedly unemployed also starts a virtual timer of sorts not on your terms. Regardless of how you feel about the event, the longer it persists is universally seen as a negative signal to those that would hire you for your next role. It gets exponentially worse as time goes on making it even harder to find a job, because of the increased time you don't have a job.

Imagine buying a mac studio with 500+ GB of memory and being limited to 2 vms.

The VM limit only applies to the number of macOS VMs launched from macOS itself.

My 2018 mac mini officially supports VMware ESXi to be installed directly on the hardware and virtualize any number of macOS machines

Funny enough I can even launch more than 2 macOS vms on my framework chromebook with qemu + KVM from the integrated Linux terminal.

Things like this remind me how much I love open source software. Choice is amazing shout out to all the contributors!

Yes that is the package. It's just like the canonical ui for lxd, but it also supports the incus enhancements like OCI containers.

Very handy to generate yaml config for machines and viewing their console / terminal.

I'm feeling like it is hard to find a simple GUI to just review a system and manage a bunch of containers and VMs.

Incus does all three through the same web ui

* OCI compatible "app" containers - with support for registries like docker.io and ghcr.io

* LXC "system" containers

* virtual machines with qemu + kvm

That's why I love Incus. It offers all three so you don't have to choose. OCI app containers, LXC containers and KVM.

Just like KIND runs containerd inside docker, you can also run dockerd inside containerd backed pods.

Start a privileged pod with the dind image, copy or mount your compose.yaml inside and you should be able to docker compose up and down, all without mounting a socket (that won't exist anyway on containerd CRI nodes)

To go even further, kubevirt runs on kind, launch a VM with your compose file passed in via cloud-init.

This looks like OVA, firmware can be bundled inside along with additional disks, networking config, machine type and so on.

So essentially a virtual appliance package

The bigger the company the less impressive "senior" is. There are probably three levels of staff above it and then distinguished super fellow territory.

I loved playing this but could never figure out how to beat it

Kubevirt has some examples passing a vpgu into kvm

In Shared NVSwitch Multitenancy Mode - are there any considerations for leveraging infiniband devices inside each vm at full performance?

cuda gpu only

Wouldn't this be more like

Proxmox Datacenter Manager = VMware vcenter

Proxmox VE = VMware ESXi

Apple intelligence: trained by Nvidia GPUs on Linux.

Do the examples in the repo run inference on Mac?

They check all the boxes for server / NAS

I was pretty disappointed to find out that none of the ms-01 ms-a1 or ms-a2 have a ATX power button header. This means you need to solder wires to the tiny tactile switch and connect those to something like a pi-kvm to get true power control/status and ipmi/redfish

Just seems like something simple they could have easily included if they wanted to really target the homelab space

My microcenter has nvidia OEM flavor in stock. There are also flavors from all the other OEMs that differ slightly on cooling but mainly on chassis design.

Get a DGX spark.

Ships with aarch64 Ubuntu 24.04.

Tons of cores and RAM.

Very quiet and small

UEFI bootloader - I installed Ubuntu 25.10 and ESXi arm edition just by booting the ISO

usb-c power input (kinda cool)

Insane connectx 200GbE RoCE networking

10GbE Ethernet

Oh and an nvidia gpu with cuda and access to 128GB of unified memory

It would be perfect if it had some kind of BMC or IPMI/redfish and an exposed PCIE slot. But this thing is an awesome arm64 workstation no doubt.

May try to install to a USB drive and hang another gpu off the nvme port just to see what happens

I can't remember where I heard it, but somebody said all Linux distributions are essentially you inheriting someone(s) mess in a way.

(Excerpt from the 64k Demo "Universal Sequence" from the amazing demo group "Conspiracy")

First time I have seen this. Incredible music and intense gfx all packaged under 64k? Impressive as hell.
