#bhyve — Public Fediverse posts

Why in the world do companies continue to rely on the #Windows platform? 😠

At our place, the solution to work at home is "#Citrix Workspace" (which internally already got the nickname "shitrix" for the various/random issues it causes every few weeks). There's no version for #FreeBSD, and I didn't succeed running the #Linux version on FreeBSD yet (different story), so I grabbed a copy of "Windows Server 2022" from our MSDN subscription and installed it in a #bhyve VM. Of course, to use it, you also need a browser...

Two days ago, this machine installed some Windows updates again. Yesterday, I found my #Chromium broken (shows window, exits silently). Updating it to the latest version didn't help. Trying to run #IE11 (still linked as default browser on the server version) froze the whole machine, requiring a force-kill of the VM.

This morning, I found that #Edge works now (yay, I can access the workplace again), which it didn't few months ago for .... "reasons" 🤯
