@grahamperrin I'm thanking #OpenBSD for there being #vmm even if it's nowhere as featureful as QEMU, otherwise looking forward to seeing even QEMU getting forked...
I take part in the project luchtmeters (air measurers) have an indoor and outdoor PM2.5 sensor at home for the moment. You can see on both the outdoor and the indoor sensor when the neighbour fired up the woodstove.
Please, when the airmass is not moving, don't burn wood in a neighbourhood. You're gassing your neighbours in their own house!
@mischa I'm doing my first babysteps with vmm/vmd here.
When creating a new virtual machine, it dies on my when I let it create a partition table on the virtual disk.
Should I have done something else then the installer suggest by default?
```
Encrypt the root disk with a (p)assphrase or (k)eydisk? [no]
No valid MBR or GPT.
Use (W)hole disk MBR, whole disk (G)PT or (E)dit? [whole]
Setting OpenBSD MBR partition to whole sd0...

What's a good value for Huge Pages in Linux? I just want to enable them for a QEMU virtual machine.
Directions appreciated.

#Synology downgrade process is still valid for moving from #DSM7 7.2.2 back to 7.2.1 in case anyone wants back the option to use #VideoStation with no custom scripts.
Ofc, use this method only as a last resort!
https://www.blackvoid.club/dsm-7-to-dsm-6-downgrade/
You can always run #DSM inside a #virtual machine using #VMM, or even #Docker

Possible future vmm(4)/vmd(8) on arm64 https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20240729122704 #openbsd #vmm #vmd #virtualization #arm64 #macmini
While a lot of things can run via #Docker, back in the day, #DSM was also one of those things.
#Synology no longer supports it other then running it via #VMM package (as #VDSM), but thanks to the efforts of the community, we again have a nice working DockerDSM (#DDSM) solution.
Short article on this topic, soon…

I have been receiving quite a few "too busy" responses regarding a bhyvecon during @EuroBSDCon and will give it this week.
Please reach out if you are interested in presenting or co-presenting!

E. de Matsos and M. Ahvenjärvi, "seL4 Microkernel for virtualization use-cases: Potential directions towards a standard VMM"¹
Virtualization plays an essential role in providing security to computational systems by isolating execution environments. Many software solutions, called hypervisors, have been proposed to provide virtualization capabilities. However, only a few were designed for being deployed at the edge of the network, in devices with fewer computation resources when compared with servers in the Cloud. Among the few lightweight software that can play the hypervisor role, seL4 stands out by providing a small Trusted Computing Base and formally verified components, enhancing its security. Despite today being more than a decade with seL4 microkernel technology, its existing userland and tools are still scarce and not very mature. Over the last few years, the main effort has been put into increasing the maturity of the kernel itself and not the tools and applications that can be hosted on top. Therefore, it currently lacks proper support for a full-featured userland Virtual Machine Monitor, and the existing one is quite fragmented. This article discusses the potential directions to a standard VMM by presenting our view of design principles and feature set needed. This article does not intend to define a standard VMM, we intend to instigate this discussion through the seL4 community.
