Like you probably have 3 or 4 before you even get to the OS kernel.
Jess👾And then you talk about doing hyperscaler shit in containers in the cloud... Like just how much of computing is pure waste from all the virtualization and indirection?
Jess👾"Well, I don't wanna have to talk to people below me in the stack so I'll just make them work off of some abstraction layer." "Well, I don't wanna have any dependencies on the people above me in the stack, so I'm going to throw another abstraction layer on top of them for my stuff to run in"
Jess👾Managing operating systems is hard. So I'm going to make an operating system that runs operating systems that run a container platform that runs a virtualization layer ....
Dave V. ND9JR@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange This, right here, is why no matter how advanced "AI" gets I'm pretty certain that I as a system administrator will still have a job for years to come.
Jess👾And don't even get me started on just how many negotiations and wrappers a simple HTTP GET request to https://example.com gets put inside, more added and then removed for various routing stuff, passed through 200 different pieces of hardware across lord only knows how many data centers.

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange Although Qubes OS, which runs on a hypervisor, is pretty cool if you install it on the right hardware. Literally everything is a VM, and you can run other operating systems on top - as well as containerised Windows apps if you're into masochism.
