#engineering

81 posts50 participants5 posts today

Timeline for the solo #engineering project that’s occupied much of my days for hundreds of them now:

- I think this would be cool, though I have no idea how to pull it off. Gonna write some rough prototype code and do some drawings.

- This is way more complicated than I thought. More code, more drawings.

- This might never actually work, but I’m in too deep to give up quite yet. Just work on this one #python module today. Unit test. Rage. Frustration.

- It could work, possibly. How about this other module today. More tests. Drawings during moments of inspiration. Lots of #git rm as better ideas take over.

- The damn thing might really work. Have to pull these 10 modules together somehow to work with those other 10 modules. And now refactor these other 5 modules and pull them in, too.

(Quite a few months go by.)

- Holy shit, look at this thing. I fucking did this.

- (Prints code out, stack of paper three inches thick. Not kidding.)

- How will I ever get all the docs done? Gonna just describe this one module and then the next one…

🌇 Blog Post Forthcoming for GPUs 🌇

ok, it's morning nap time starting 5min ago... but I'm decently pleased that this morning I've wrangled the (yes, linux) kernel into behaving more decently (a little like FreeBSD's sanity) when allocating similarly ID'd PCIe devices to VMs for GPU passthrough.

Short version:
- many GPUs of same PCI ID type in host
- want certain VMs to get certain GPUs
- want main host to get one GPU for compute (server, no display)

FreeBSD:
- the above requires two loader.conf lines and one rc.conf line

Linux:
- oh lordy, how many modprobe and modules-load.d files, and grub entries, and kmod blacklists, rebuild initramfs, and rebuild grub menu, and don't forget to purge the entire nouveau driver from the kernel so it doens't try to backstab nvidia and steal your first born...
