Nominated

gollark: If you just stick them on the same SSID it *might* work.
gollark: Somehow enabling iLO (HP's remote management thing) in the "shared network port" mode has resulted in my server completely failing to connect to my network at all (apart from the iLO thing) and - somehow - my computer changing its IP to an unrelated one I don't have configured anywhere and failing to connect to anything.
gollark: I'd hope that mostly they're not configured that way.
gollark: I don't think a GPU would help.
gollark: I think most containers don't come with init systems in them.
