• Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04

  Which is what docker/podman/containerd use. If you want full system emulation look into LXC/LXD. Source: 11 months ago

• Opinions on linux? I wanna hear yalls opinion on it, because you can do some cool shit with it, heres my own rice for a basic idea of what random shit you can do w/ it

  LXD is a manager for Linux Containers (LXC), which lets me spin up a kind-of lightweight VM for any distro, instantly. I use it to run proprietary software isolated from the rest of my system (such as Steam); disposable environments for trying stuff out, and running software that doesn't jive well with Nixos.

• Error: Failed to connect to local LXD: Get "http://unix.socket/1.0": dial unix /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket: connect: no such file or directory

  Check this thread on linuxcontainers LXD forum. Half way down Simos points to the eventual solution:. Source: about 1 year ago

• Virtualisating my server

  I found this website https://linuxcontainers.org/ and I am going to test that out for server just to see how it works. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any good (and up to date) book about LXC/LXC

  Up to now the best documentation I have come across is the official one at linuxcontainers.org. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best virtualization solution with Ubuntu 22.04

  If you want an all around easy to use tool that can manager containers (create on the fly, delete when unnecessary, etc.) look into vagrant. There are also options like xen and virtualbox but they are not so lightweight. All of them are in ubuntu repositories. Source: 11 months ago

• Modular building blocks: The case of Amazon

  On the other hand, EC2 was built in isolation by a team of two, Chris Pinkham and Chris Brown, working remotely from South Africa. The idea behind building EC2 was to allow developers to build and run their application on Amazon’s servers, regardless of what type of application it was. The plan was to build EC2 on top of an open source tool called Xen which made it possible to run several applications on one... - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• Announcing Rust 1.68.0

  There was of course a generation where Xen was the way to make kernel-level containers, but those kernels still had to communicate with a form of ABI. I barely used Xen so I can't say how many of the same concerns apply, but in any case, userland containers won out over kernel containers in the end, and I'm glad for it. Source: about 1 year ago

• XSAs released on 2022-11-01

  Qubes OS uses the Xen hypervisor as part of its architecture. When the Xen Project publicly discloses a vulnerability in the Xen hypervisor, they issue a notice called a Xen security advisory (XSA). Vulnerabilities in the Xen hypervisor sometimes have security implications for Qubes OS. When they do, we issue a notice called a Qubes security bulletin (QSB). (QSBs are also issued for non-Xen vulnerabilities.)... Source: over 1 year ago

• A Dad Took Photos of His Naked Toddler for the Doctor. Google Flagged Him as a Criminal.

  It depends greatly on the implementation you use and the rest of the tooling you use. Using QEMU+KVM directly & raw is very different from using libvirt-backed (which abstracts over various other backends like Xen [virt-manager])(https://virt-manager.org/) (which is a lot closer to the VirtualBox experience) to make the whole experience easier and simpler).
