Curious to know what the experiences are for those who are sticking to bare metal. Would like to better understand what keeps such admins from migrating to containers, Docker, Podman, Virtual Machines, etc. What keeps you on bare metal in 2025?

    pff, you call using an operating system bare metal? I run my apps as unikernels on a grid of Elbrus chips I bought off a dockworker in Kamchatka.

    and even that’s overkill. I prefer synthesizing my web apps into VHDL and running them directly on FPGAs.

    until my ASIC shuttle arrives from Taipei, naturally, then I bond them directly onto Ethernet sockets.

    /uj not really but that’d be sick as hell.
