@packetfilter @defaultvlan there's a reason companies throw money after #vmware.

I'm just glad to not have any of those reasons...

Super happy that I managed to migrate all of my existing #Virtuabox VMs across to VMware. It's been like 15 years since I last looked at #VMware. My bad. It's awesome. Not $200-for-the-full-version awesome, but free for the Player is good enough for right now.

Installing #OpenSUSE Leap with #Plasma. MAN I love #VMware. It's like I've been living under a rock for years with #Virtualbox.

Me wary of VMware after Broadcom acquisition. Concerned about potential policy shifts. Dell was a disaster. #VMware #BroadcomAcquisition #TechWorries

After many years of using Oracle #Virtualbox (due to being able to use it for commercial purposes for free), I just installed and tried out #VMWare Player 17. Jesus christ is it fast! Booted stock Ubuntu 23.10 in about 11 seconds. Virtualbox was an absolute dog. That's it - I'm converting my virtualbox images over - hope that's possible.

I use VMWare workstation extensively in a professional capacity and prefer it over Oracle Virtualbox. Hyper-V is good only if you want to use a windows OS as a guest and have any hope of quick desktop interaction with no fuss.

This news article disgusts me on a level that makes me say I’m now going to be re-evaluating my primary VM solution for professional work. I don’t think I can approve this sort of disgusting executive behavior by voting with an upgrade that I need to do soon to workstation.

I used the Windows 11 ARM version inside of #VMWare Fusion this weekend and it performed perfectly. I was waiting for the day when I could ditch an Intel Mac just for windows use and that time has come.

1. Yes, some things like dropbox don't install there, but I used RClone to get access to it that way.
2. For things that I want to use back home, NVDA Remote serves me perfectly well.
3. Wireguard didn't install for some reason, but I can run it directly on-Mac which means the VM also uses it.

I got a fun #vmware question: Has anyone heard of Linux VMs not being bootable on a given physical hardware platform without upgrading the VM Hardware/Compatibility level?

Pretty much all documentation I've seen suggests you should only upgrade VM Compatibility to enable new features in the VM. But I've apparently encountered a platform that older VM Compatibility versions aren't fully compatible with.

I'm not naive when it comes to #Linux administration, but I don't do it every day, and much of my experience is from over a decade ago. So I'm always surprised & relieved when I'm able to update my #selfhosted #Mastodon server successfully each time. #VMware Snapshots give me a roll back opportunity allowing me to proceed with confidence. But it still feels good to have it all work the first time and not need them.

Since its nearing Beta, I should talk about my pet project: :blobcattoot:​🎉​ Wyng Backup!

What's so great about it?! :blobcatnerd:​:blobcatthinkingsunglass:​

  • Wyng can make lightning fast backups of logical volumes, disk images, or just plain large files... like multiple-terabyte-sized volumes backed up in just seconds! (Your local storage needs snapshot capability for this to work, but backup storage does not!)
  • An ingenious snapshot rotation scheme is used to keep snapshot local space consumption to a tiny fraction of what they normally require (a big drawback of other snapshot-based backup tools).
  • Deduplication is also supported.
  • Improves Opsec: Works even in net-isolated admin environments, like Qubes 'dom0', and there is no trust bestowed on remote or guest systems. There is no mounting of volumes or disk images; all data is handled as just a set of blocks. All encryption & verification operations happen within the local admin environment. Perfect for keeping backups of VMs/containers with various levels of (un)trusted content.
  • Maintenance functions (like pruning old backups) are also very fast, similar to how Time Machine works.

Try the final alpha here: https://github.com/tasket/wyng-backup/tree/04alpha3 There is also a full release of the prior version which lacks some features and usability improvements in the new alpha.
