I have a client running both Solidworks and Fusion 360 in VMWare Workstation with GPU pass-thru enabled, it’s pretty straightforward to setup and the end-users were pleased with it’s performance. If you have USB license keys those usually work as well, just setup the USB device pass-thru.

Why not just run Windows in a VM?

What’s wrong with WordPress?

I have 4 old hard drives that I pulled from an old Drobo that needs to be trashed. I bought a Mediasonic 4-bay RAID enclosure that I thought would be a good upgrade, but knew going into that the drives may not work because the manual for the new enclosure specifically says to use new drives to avoid problems. The exact product is this Mediasonic one.

While this would work isn’t it a bit time consuming compared to:

wipefs --all /dev/sdX

It’s an old school log aggragating service that used to be how most *nix distros collected logs in years past. As I understand it was generally replaced by systemd’s journald service. The only times I encounter it in the wild is on legacy systems that couldn’t or refused to adapt and chances are they’re paying a lot cuz it’ll be a painful support experience. Oh and for some it can be a useful way to sync logs up to monitoring services like Splunk but it’s effectiveness is debatable.

browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false

Awesome, thanks, still weird though.

Why are you @'ing random communities in a comment? I didn’t think that does anything?

I still haven’t heard a convincing argument to not use .local and I see no reason to stop.

Btw I use Arch

Seriously, look at what the pkgbuild is doing on Arch and replicate it by hand on your distro of choice. That’s all a pkgbuild is: a simple bash installation script.

Yes.

Unpopular opinion: flatpaks enable lazy developers to keep old versions of required Python dependencies working longer.
