Sujet: Re: [DNG] tryng to install virt-manager on Devuan 4 : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'
There's "solving problems" and there's "finding out some tool isn't
suited to the job". I'm a programmer, so "virt isn't letting me do the
things I want to do coz it's a limited wrapper and the things I want to do
are beyond it's limits, so scripting qemu directly is much easier".

There's just lots of things qemu can do that virt doesn't know how to
tell it to do.

As for solving problems, when the world stops sending me new problems
like I got nothing better to do, then I'll love to get back to solving
the fun problems. Right now it's having to move for the second time this
year, in the middle of a country wide rental crisis, where I'm beginning
to suspect the real estate agents are just making things harder to raise
the desperation levels, so they can raise prices. And every third email
I'm getting from them is just proving how incompetent they are. Latest
email is telling me the inspection for a home has been cancelled, I had
already inspected it and turned it down. Pffft

A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants
coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
