This is a long long post because I’m providing a lot of configuration files and explanation. I could have split this into multiple posts, but I felt it made sense to put it all in one entry In my homelab I use virsh to manage QEMU/KVM virtual machines. I might want to spin up a test VM (oh, say Debian 12) to do some playing around and then destroy it again.
One thing I’ve noticed, over the years, is the habit of people blaming technology for the problems rather than taking a look at the processes behind the problem. A personal example A big example, for me, was when I was part of the Unix enterprise authentication team. The technology worked, and it worked well. It was resilient, reliable, fast. We literally turned off the infrastructure in one datacenter and all the clients correctly failed over to the next nearest one.
