    There is little performance overhead from running a VM. However there’s a substantial administrative overhead for keeping a virtualization system running just for home assistant.

    If this a hobby to you, sure, you do you. Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted. But it’s way less effort to just run everything you need in a container stack - especially if are you already running containers for other things.















  • Let’s start with what we’re not doing. We’re not handing out money to private investors in the old “socializing losses privatizing profits” bullshit we’ve been doing since the nineties.

    So, if there’s a compelling national security reason to keep the company alive, we, the state buy it. Then we, the state, run it. We run it in a way that benefits our interests as owners and customers.

    Maybe a few years down the line we can find a way to sell it (or our share in it) in a way that satisfies our national security requirements and makes us a load of money. This is not unheard of, see the acquisition and subsequent sale of ABN AMRO by the kingdom of the Netherlands.

    Maybe split it up, write off some parts, sell some others, keep others.

    Or we strip maybe it’s IP, and license it out to contractors to get the shit we need.

    We can do whatever. We own it.
