Obviously this has some security advantages too I guess. Given partitioning lot's of cross-VM side-channel scenarios are ruled out. I don't think you can e.g. use any Spectre derivative between two guests in Jailhouse (academic guess, I have not read its source code properly).

I don't like hypervisors where guest is like an extended entity of a process (/dev/kvm).

Or like I get that at a data center where you lease resources but actually the best possible scheme running VM's at home is partitioning.

Good example is creating a VM running Windows with optimal perf, which requires tons of knowledge about even things like huge pages and how to control them and stuff like that. All that complexity comes from melding the process be a bit like a partition of resources instead.

So when this came up, I thought that this is exciting exactly for home use:

https://github.com/siemens/jailhouse

I discovered it, if I recall correctly, OpenSource Summit or Plumbers when the band wagon was at LA 2018. Totally made sense for me because it kind of does of the shelf the best defaults for home use.

I wonder what happened to this project, is it in upstream or doing any progress? Not around a machine with my dev stuff to check this so thus not checking myself :-)

@vbabka @ljs lol, o-k-a-y... maybe his book will help me discover the hidden secrets of mm, in order to be able to understand this wisdom :-O

Question #Asahi #Linux.

I bought in June a dock with M.2 slot. but at that point Asahi at least required some extra dance to get booting from external drive.

I might have tried it but gave up or did not get not working, cannot recall anymore :-)

Anyway, is this becoming a feature in Asahi or at least in the roadmap?

I have the heftiest 6/4 core (16/16 GPU/AI) version with 32 Gb waiting for becoming ARM build machine during days and studio for bad music during nights ;-)

Casio. The battery has lasted 1.2 years so far, syncs the timezone automatically when country changes via bluetooth, shows arrived messages and calls, has a step counter and other rudimentary sporty features.

Have been considering while buying sports watch from Suunto like for having navigation when hiking in the woods but this really has delivered incredibly well considering how archaic it is :-)

@vixalientoots I don't think there is a mobile version of Fractal. I just run it on Fedora. It's AFAIK exclusively available for GNOME only...

I doubt that native application based on just plain Gtk widgets and nothing speicla could be *slower* than Swing UI application running inside Oracle JRE... o_O

After trying all available Matrix clients, I find Fractal from GNOME project the one that feels the most solid (most of them were IMHO not that great, so was easy choice):

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal

Element is reasonable but is only single account (I'd need two) and feels just generally heavy and sluggish thanks to Electron user experience that we all love.... .... ....to hate

So... if you use and love GNOME and have to use Matrix, Fractal is the only GUI version that does not suck in my opinion, at least from ones listed in https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/.

Some other time I give iamb a shot (runs inside terminal): https://iamb.chat/

I needed this for my work chat but I also revived my personal account for contact : @jjs:kapsi.fi.

@pinkforest Other than a digital crack, the only existing use case for Meta's platforms is being one of the most powerful hybrid cyber weapons we've seen so far, if not the most powerful cyber weapon.

@pinkforest good for you!

E.g. I mean you can have many opinions about Google but they also do bunch of legit productivity tools, instead of basing all business on pushing digital crack to consumers.

I realized that i have 0 accounts in any services that meta produces after reading about Mark Zuckerberg. At most have had 1 🙂 I think it is the only of the big cloud whose full portfolio is based only on products that are actually bad for you, your productivity and can cause serious addiction.
