@b NPR Music turned me on to modern bluegrass. I was randomly listening one day and they had Sarah Jarosz on.

@sheogorath I'd expect any DirectPlay and Xbox-type/Xinput controllers to work, really.

@sheogorath My Logitech F310 also worked immediately, likewise my iBuffalo SNES-like controller.

Beware that the F310's d-pad isn't very durable.

I've wanted to do basically this for almost fifteen years now but the hardware and software available to me was just never there. #feelsgoodman

This is a practice run; I've been thinking about doing this in anger on my new work PC. Base OS being Xubuntu 20.04, running one or two Win10 VMs for different tasks as-needed, and potentially MacOS in another VM. One of the Win10 VMs would be for making up new Windows install images, best handled with Hyper-V VMs because the workflow is actually really good.

Here's some nerd shit right here:

Booted to Linux, using virsh/qemu/kvm to run a slightly customized (XML was edited to make it pretend to be a particular CPU) Win10 virtual machine that's able to run Hyper-V, so I'm running a VM inside a VM (yo dawg). Performance is actually acceptable.

Upgrading from OpenBSD 6.7 to 6.8 was surprisingly easy. All I had to do was pkg_add something to let me retrieve the ramdisk and its signature file over http, verify same, and reboot into the downloaded rd to upgrade. 10/10 would do again.

I'm using it as my SSH jump host in a kvm virtual machine.

@dredmorbius I really need to get around to switching all of my accounts to use my ProtonMail email address for recovery. At least it's easy to move emails and contacts over semi-automatically.
