About zeroecco

I do infra stuff, husband, father. PDX native.

It's like attacking a tin shed with a chainsaw... from within the shed.

    I did use an LLM to workshop my comms; I tend to go on and on so I put my my comments through a LLM to clean up my replies. the opinions and the project are mine, but the polish is…

    True and decent read. Holos is a generic runner underneath, and I'm not trying to compete on the curated-OS-image front; the assumption is you bring a cloud image and cloud-init do…

    Docker does have both docker run and docker compose... Holos is compose-only right now. A holos run on top of the same VM machinery isn't a huge lift; mostly it's deciding what the…

    Your path makes a ton of sense too! You get typed languages, state management, and the Incus team's work on the QEMU layer. The tradeoff I wasn't willing to make is the daemon + st…

    Show HN: Holos – QEMU/KVM with a compose-style YAML, GPUs and health checks

    I got tired of libvirt XML and Vagrant's Ruby/reload dance for single-host VM stacks, so I built a compose-style runtime directly on QEMU/KVM. What's there: GPU passthrough as a fi…

    Why is it cheaper to live in China then the USA? Because China has a huge import/export deficit and artificial devaluation of currency. It does not play part to the global economy …
