A coworker send me this fantastic piece on getting linux to boot off of google drive (and s3). Definitely a fun read!

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

I'm just joking, as stupid and impractical as it is to use the cloud as your boot drive I do always love seeing stupid stuff like this. Neat

If there is anything I know about technology, it's that moving everything to The Cloud is the current trend.

Currently it's shoehorning AI into everything, surely?

But good stuff, always nice to see pointless bad ideas proved possible!

Well, I mean, most corps trying to shoehorn AI into things are using Cloud implementations of the various "AI" solutions.

What, pay for our own datacenter? Nah.

Just import openai and add "the AI" that way. 🤦‍♂️

Now run a VM from Google Cloud on a system booted from Google Cloud.

Hahah, good luck. Proton Drive is really terrible. I can't even upload a single 1GB file through the service.
