Remember when they said 10 would be the last one?
What we can? How? I've been eating ramen and hemorrhaging savings paying for cobra
Went for the first time in probably 5 years the other day. 15 freaking dollars just for me. Ridiculous. I'll just keep going to my local burger place for that price
Sounds like it, I think docker is exactly what you're looking for
Was gonna say, covid if anything made me more focused. I did so many side projects
Glad he supported the guy who said he'd impose tariffs when he had no idea what tariffs were. 3 minutes of googling could have saved this guy 3000 bucks
There's many ways to do this. Saving the disk state is one, I believe that's what the other person suggested - essentially stores the disk as an image which then you use for future vms as your jumping off point. This is also essentially how workstations are deployed at companies. (Essentially being the key word). Cloud providers have different names for this too, in AWS this is called their AMI.
Another option is Ansible, which essentially handles deploying a VM by running your scripts for you. I haven't played too much with this, and I doubt it works with VirtualBox, but it's something you may want to look into, it would definitely uplevel your skills.
Thirdly is dependent on what you actually use your VM for, you haven't given your use cases but this is one of the reasons containerization became such a thing - because when running an app we mostly don't care about the underlying system. It may be worth it to learn about docker.
Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out
Ah CompUSA, that takes me back. God I completely empathize with this. I don't know how many times I thought "I am a service provider, the service you sell, without me those services you sell are worthless. That is literally the value prop" Not everyone needs to be sales
The one positive about all the rollback stuff is that a lot of people are seeing that the corpos never cared about them, and more are coming around to the idea that we're already in the dystopia. I swear that started as a positive when I started typing.
