Using #RedStarOS Server 3.0 on a #VirtualMachine to SSH into my server and my main computer.

Yes, I know this sounds like a horrible idea, but I live for the danger.

New to FreeBSD? Getting started is easier than you think.

As more people explore FreeBSD beyond servers, we're showing just how simple it is to dive in — even on a MacBook. Whether you're installing from scratch or trying out a virtual machine, FreeBSD offers flexible options to fit your setup.

For a full walkthrough, check out the blog post linked below: https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/three-ways-to-try-freebsd-in-under-five-minutes/

Does any one have link to the source of the original Joe Armstrong’s JAM (Joe’s Abstract Machine) for the original #Erlang before BEAM came about? JAM was a stack machine, BEAM is a register Machine. Just trying to understand how it operated, I understand it did some interesting things with the stack. #stackmachines #abstractmachine #virtualmachine #programminglanguages

I boot FreeDOS in a #virtualmachine with #QEMU

Here's how to use QEMU, and my command line to run FreeDOS.

This also has a QEMU fix for the "double tap" keyboard problem for the Borland IDE, like Borland Turbo C or Turbo Pascal.

"5 reasons I stopped dual-booting Windows and Linux on my PC" rightly. The only feasible place for #windows is **inside** a #VirtualMachine, not the other way around!

I've gotten so used to running my everyday Unix system as a VM on top of various host systems that I notice myself hesitating to install it on bare metal. It feels unsafe. With a VM, I can back up the disk image(es) in various ways (wholesale or incremental snapshots), move it to new hardware, transfer it to a completely different environment and have it up and running in no time. On a bare metal machine, I feel "stuck". Does that make sense to anyone out there? #virtualmachine #vm #kvm #unix

No April Fools' joke - the new #ProxLB release is scheduled for the 1st of April! Stay tuned!

ProxLB is an advanced #loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters that brings in features like #DRS (known from #VMware), #maintenance mode and (anti-)#affinity groups.

hey hey #Linux #FileSystem #ZFS #RAID #XFS entities! I'm looking for extremely opinionated discourses on alternatives to ZFS on Linux for slapping together a #JBOD ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", "Just a Buncha Old Disks", "Jesus! Buncha Old Disks!", etc) array.

I like ZFS but the fact that it's not in tree in-kernel is an issue for me. What I need most is reliability and stability (specifically regarding parity) here; integrity is the need. Read/write don't have to be blazingly fast (not that I'm mad about it).

I also have one #proxmox ZFS array where a raw disk image is stored for a #Qemu #VirtualMachine; in the VM, it's formatted to XFS. That "seems" fine in limited testing thus far (and seems fast?, so it does seem like the defaults got the striping correct) but I kind of hate how I have multiple levels of abstraction here.

I don't think there's been any change on the #BTRFS front re: raid-like array stability (I like and use BTRFS for single disk filesystems but) although I would love for that to be different.

I'm open to #LVM, etc, or whatever might help me stay in tree and up to date. Thank you! Boosts appreciated and welcome.

#homelab update!

Spent all of last night and a good chunk of today combining my compute and storage servers into a single machine! Will I regret this? Maybe. Is it cool as hell? Absolutely!

Using #proxmox as my host OS. Currently setting it up, and I can tell that it’ll be awesome, but it’s definitely got a learning curve. Currently setting up #openmediavault in a #virtualmachine and passing through my hard drives in a RAID. I will report back

Hey, all you #selfhosting #nerds out there! We need you and your #bandwidth. If you have some spare #compute and #network capacity please consider setting up an #ArchiveTeam #Warrior #virtualmachine or #Docker image. There's an official #project to #backup the #US #government's data. If you already have a warrior appliance running, consider setting the active project to #USGovernment

#WebVM : a #Linux virtual machine in the browser (via WebAssembly)

#Linux friends! I'm an #Arch user looking for distro recommendations that work well in virtual machines. My experience is mostly with Arch, but I'm finding VMware doesn't officially support it. Are there any distros that offer a similar experience to Arch but work better in VMs? Or are there other accessible virtualization options I should consider? #Accessibility #VirtualMachine #LinuxDistros #ArchLinux #Vmware #tech #technology #blind @mastoblind @main

Still running into #ArchLinux installation issues. I've gotten almost everything done, but I'me having trouble installing a #bootloader. I want to use systemd-boot. I'm using #vmware workstation. Everything I've read says there should be boot options in the #vm settings where I can set it to either #BIOS or #EUFI, but that's not there, so I added a couple lines to the .vmx file to make it use EUFI. Everything went well until I went to set up systemd-boot. I have no efi directory under /sys/firmware, so I can't do it. Anyone seen anything like this?

To other #techies, I'm creating an #ArchLinux #VirtualMachine on my computer, and I'm not sure how big to make the disk. I'm using #VMWare Workstation Pro. My #computer has 32 Gb #RAM and 1 Tb storage. How big should I make the disk?

The only thing that anchors me to Windows is Visual Studio. No, not Visual Studio Code. Visual Studio 2019 or 2022.

I know VirtualBox, and will try to set up a Win10 VM with VS2022.

Are there any known alternatives that are clearly better than VirtualBox? KVM? I´d like to try at least one other way and see which one I settle on.

Please reply, let me know if you also need to use VS20XX under Linux.

testing #linux #tuxedoOS in my #virtualmachine but it seems it doesn't really like #realtek #audio

boo! @tuxedocomputers

btw, with #linuxmint it just worked fine
