I feel dirty 🪟 😂

I needed some Windows for a (German) tax related application, so just ran it in BHYVE. (Bit slow on the ThinkPad T480, but got the job done!)

On Thursday, @gyptazy provided a talk about #BoxyBSD at the "Virtualization Gathering" at @credativde.

@gyptazy provided some more information about the BoxyBSD project, but also about the history and infrastructure including the switches of #FreeBSD #Jails, #bhyve and #Proxmox (#kvm). Afterwards, additional information about the #Sylve project were shared and why this is so important and interesting and could make BoxyBSD return to bhyve based #virtualization.

The Ubuntu VM boots!

I have been trying to do that since 6AM this morning. It is twenty minutes before 4PM. Lots of side quests kept me from the main objective, but we got there.

A potentially-awesome #bhyve surprise is in the works.
