The author has a very valid point about recipe websites. If you don't have a couple hundred words of prose and some multimedia, even if it's complete nonsense, it may as well not exist according to search engines. It's not just ad sales, though. It's also search rankings and even organic traffic.

I put some family recipes on my personal (mostly tech) blog under another category in my sidebar. Taking a verbatim couple words that should be reasonably unique from a recipe there doesn't show up in searches for it. I took a quick look at my traffic analytics and apart from myself, it gets an imperceptible (perhaps 1 or 2) unique visitors each week out of the average 500-ish. I'd imagine a few things are at play:

- most folks find my site looking for tech things, not recipes

- most websites have a "single theme" - I just don't want to follow that because it's mine and I have other interests :)

- I do not at all care how many people copy my recipe for grilled bread or whatnot.

- I also don't run pictures because I don't want to.

What I do care about is that I like the look of _my_ recipes when _I_ need them, much like the recipe sites that existed 10 or more years ago.

If there's any call to action here, please put some of your own recipes or hobby activities or game things or anything else on your site. You're an interesting whole human being and it's okay to be that (even if our search engine overlords don't reward that).


It's good as a bluetooth presentation remote, sharing QR codes or NFC contact info at conferences, and jiggling your mouse so your VPN connection doesn't die when your laptop locks up. It was handy around the house over the holidays too (https://some-natalie.dev/blog/flipper-at-home/).

It's a decent multitool. :-)


That's 100% fair. Good thing it's not too difficult to assign VFIO w/i QEMU for virtual machines despite the manufacturer shenanigans. :)

The Arch wiki has a great guide here - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVM...

It does get a little tricky if your GPUs are identical, but I've done this for years and maintain a guide for doing this (as well as the ACS-override patched kernel RPMs) for Fedora.

- Code + RPMs - https://github.com/some-natalie/fedora-acs-override

As far as concerns around stability with ACS override, I tend to only enable the override for the specific GPU (or other hardware) that I'm passing through and haven't encountered any stability problems or memory leaks that'd interrupt desktop or light server usage. I also used to run this for a bunch of white-box GPU hardware for a customer at a former job and it worked well for exploratory AI/ML workloads before investing in the big Nvidia DGX boxes. YMMV, of course!


Is there a reason an emulator like qemu couldn't just pass along spirv like wasm does with webgpu? Would that be way slower?


A better way [for me, anyways] is getting GRID drivers running. However, this only works with the 9xx cards up to the 2080.

It's not difficult but it misses the point. SIOV supports 1k's of VF's because that's what you need if you want a sandboxed app-per-VM security model. When statically compiled VM's are just as performant as containers but more secure.


Why is this a requirement? I thought Linux takes over after it loads.

I work at a neat intersection of tech, people, and highly regulated industries. I get to write about the things I build and talks I have done, as well as some fun projects. It’s an outlet for getting better at writing and provides a longer record of competence than fizzbuzz interview questions.
