  • I think there is a misunderstanding, what running locally means.
    You can run a gitlab runner on your local machine, but it needs to pulls it's jobs from git. It also requires gitlab to register your runner, so it can't really work for new contributors to use themselves.

  • Run your CI in a sandbox.
    For example gitlab allows you to run in a docker image.
    Unless the attacker knows a docker CVE or is willing to waste a specter style 0-day on you, the most they can do is waste your cpu cycles.

  • I'm wondering if there's a way [to] combine their computational power.

    Only if your problem can be be split up reasonably, otherwise you will spend more time waiting for data to move.
    Where it can work: video encoding, CI pipelines, data analysis
    Where it won't work: interactive stuff, most single file operations

    I want to get into server hosting [...]

    Then you don't need another reason to do it.

    [If] I can connect them all to one display [or] make them all accessible in one place.

    You can either get a hardware switch or chose a primary computer and connect to the others. For that you can use remote desktop software or be a try hard and use ssh.

  • I tried to open files placed in /tmp in Firefox and gave up after going down the sandbox rabbit hole. I then uninstalled the snap and did some acrobatics to get the apt version, as apt install firefox will actually install the snap by default.

  • It's still a suffering animal, so we should get the most data we can out of every specimen. That should minimize the total amount of mice being used.

    Also only studying some mice can lead to biased results. Iirc in the pace trial participants who dropped out because the intervention worsened their condition where not included in the end result. With rats the researchers could just chose the healthiest ones and just claim they selected randomly.

    Rant:

    The pace trial was a horrible study on a chronic disease that was conducted by the british health system with the goal of denying care.
    The trial also had other systematic flaws like having a laxer definition of healthy at the end of the trial that at the beginning, meaning people who where sick enough to participate would be declared cured at the end even if nothing changed.
    This study is still used to denie people's lived experience and just call them lazy.
    I don't have a personal connection to any of this, but learning about it made me angry enough, that I must share this knowledge.
