Words evolve, and sometimes, they gain new meanings. “Bare metal” is not a scientific terms, and so it can be bent depending on the context.

You can either accept that or not, it doesn’t change the fact that that’s what it now can mean.

It’s just what it means in this specific context.

They’re not running directly on the host, with directly meaning directly.

If you go by definition, I agree with you, but the definition is not always the thing to go off of.

Have you read my comment? It’s about where the packages and services are installed.

In this case, they’re installed in the container, not on the host

Not in this context. Bare metal means all packages and services installed and running directly on the host, not through docker/lxc/vms

it’s satire

Yeah, but people don’t like change, and I’d expect low level engineers to like it even less.

And looking at Linux, that shit still supports ancient hardware, being able to actually get rid of old code (that now has to be maintained alongside the new code) is gonna be a PITA.

I’m just guessing, but what about backwards compatibility? Or cross-system compatibility?

For example, something like a syscall that’s existed for 20 years. Changing it would break old apps.

Of course you could just keep the now “old” syscall and add new methods that replicate it’s behavior, but haven’t you then introduced bloat? More ways to do the same thing, meaning (eventually) more bugs, more fragmentation, memory usage, etc.

They literally say “it doesn’t matter” if you leave it open, but that you might come across issues if you don’t

Do workers simply will iron ore into existence

In terms of costs, yeah, that’s exactly what they do. Someone’s getting money for it, be it the land owner, the workers, the company providing the tech for it. Doesn’t matter, there’s always a person at the end of the cost pipeline.

workers pockets X owner’s profit

In terms of inflation, this just doesn’t help. Workers spend almost everything they get (living paycheck to paycheck), rich people do still spend the money (which means the money ends up in someone elses pocket) and yes, they will spend more than the average worker, but they also invest a big chunk, usually locking up the money, and at least temporarily taking it out of circulation.

Which reduces inflation, that’s the point of high interest rates :)

If I might add, what do you think costs are?

Do you think there’s a box you put cash into and it gives you iron ore back?

Nope, there’s a miner who gets paid to get it out of the ground. The miner uses a pickaxe which costs something, sure, but who do you think made the pickaxe? It was a worker somewhere who got paid to manufacture it.

Money doesn’t disappear, it goes into someone’s pocket eventually, either through wages or through corporate income.

If costs are going up it means that someone somewhere is getting richer, meaning he has more money to spend, meaning things get more expensive.

That’s just straight up not true. Companies like profits, so they’ll keep raising prices as long as people keep paying them. If people don’t have money to spend on shit, they won’t, and thus the prices will have to go down or at worst stagnate.

But sure, keep thinking you understand the issue better than people who have studied everything about the issue and are actually paid for their knowledge.

It’s not.

Yeah let’s carve out a subset and let everyone suffer.

Short term pain for long term gain and stability.

You’re completely missing the point.

We’re talking about the inflation going on now, not whatever decades you’re talking about.

Yeah because ever increasing wages and thus money in circulation fixes inflation.

Workers don’t win if inflation stays high.

It’s not like there’s a shortage of text editors on MacOS either though

Well, looking at how popular VSCode is, looks like people don’t mind the web browser thing

If you want to learn zfs a bit better though, you can just stick with Proxmox. It supports it, you just don’t get the nice UI that TrueNAS provides, meaning you’ve got to configure everything manually, through config files and the terminal.

Just fyi - running TrueNAS with zfs as a VM under Proxmox is a recipe for disaster, as me how I know.

Zfs needs direct drive access, with VMs, the hypervisor virtualizes the adapter which is then passed through, which can mess things up.

What you’d need to do is buy a sata/sas card and pass the whole card through, then you can use a vm.
