Go ahead, toss that old gaming card in your server — you know you want to. Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has sent many scrambling for alternatives. Two of the biggest beneficiaries of Broadcom's price hikes, at least on the free and open source side of things, have been the Proxmox VE and XCP-ng hypervisors. At the same time, interest in enterprise AI has taken off in earnest. With so many making the switch to these FOSS-friendly virtualization platforms, we figured at least some of you might be interested in passing a GPU or two through to your VMs to experiment with local AI workloads.

Disabling logging in NGINX can be useful for various reasons, such as reducing disk usage, improving performance, or simply because you don’t need the logs for a particular application. This guide will walk you through the steps to disable access and error logging in NGINX on a Linux system.

The Linux kernel "FORCE_NR_CPUS" Kconfig option has been around a few years to force the number of CPU cores the kernel expects in order to allow for better compiler optimizations. When building a kernel targeted for a specific device/platform with a given number of CPU cores, the compiler can optimize CPU mask routines and shrink the size of the resulting kernel image rather than having to accommodate up to a dynamic upper-limit for the number of CPU cores to be found at boot time. Linus Torvalds himself has turned to demoting this CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS option further to avoid confusion.

While Linux is the platform of choice for serious computer tinkerers and professionals, you don't have to be a geek, hacker, or even a nerd to use the premier open-source computing platform.
