macOS Tahoe drops ASIF disk images - because apparently we needed ANOTHER file format acronym to remember! But hey, near-native VM speeds might make the learning curve worth it 🚀

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 cannot install #vmware and #virtualbox on #ubuntu 25.04, it's driving me nuts. I need a simple #virtualmachine solution to test some other platforms

yk what i'll just tell you what's wrong

even when i select the "no passthrough please" option, when the systemd output is on screen it ocasionally says something along the lines of "the gpu is already bound to vfio" which leads me to believe that the boot option is not working bc it's not letting the host use what i'm passing through to it. oddly enough i can't use virt-manager when i'm not in passthrough mode

yea i need help pls help me :BlobCat_BigSob: #nixos #nix #vfio #virtualmachine #virtualmachines my current virtualisation config is at github.com/JuxGD/nixconfig/blob/94d149a7d81fbd48735a091a7d0fa470318d79a6/virtualisation.nix

(edit: I FIXED IT it's all good go check the latest version of the file :3 the structure was totally off but it's fine now)

@governa kool, I hope it will also be distributed as #flatpak #package. It would have the same limitations as flatpak version of #gnomeboxes but for the most basic usage of spinning up #virtualmachine without any special network interfaces or other stuff that requires privilaged user intervention.

A quick, easy, GUI Virtual Machine Manager. Though in its early stages, it looks quite promising

The #VMware Reseller program has ended, but the writing was on the wall since 2023 due to #Broadcom acquisition.

Anyone here knows some "replacements" for VMware?
