Heads up: this is a vibe-coded FIRE tool. It was built in a conversation with Claude (an AI): someone described what they wanted, and Claude wrote the code, the tests and the design log. No financial professional has reviewed it. It is not financial advice. Use it to explore ideas, and check anything important with a real human who does this for a living.…

A guest renders within 2% of the machine it is running on, and costs the same CPU. virtio-nvgpu forwards NVIDIA kernel driver ioctls between a Linux guest and the host at the driver ABI level, bypassing API-level translation entirely. The guest runs NVIDIA's own user-mode drivers, unmodified — the same libraries, the same Vulkan and NVENC, talking to the same card. The target is headless streaming: a compositor inside the VM renders, composites and encodes frames on…
