• 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).

• Ask HN: Where can I find a primer on how computers boot?

  The following is a pretty decent historical page about the pre-(U)EFI MBR (Master Boot Record) boot process: https://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/STDMBR.htm Note that EFI/UEFI -- occurred much later in time than MBR... Related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record You might also wish to check out some emulators, most notably Bochs (https://bochs.sourceforge.io/) and QEMU (https://www.qemu.org/)... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Can anyone recommend some good free tools for programming, debugging, and virtualization on Ubuntu?

  With both of those you can make some really nice DOS programs. Which you can then run in bochs (not virtualized, but an emulator. Close enough :) ). Source: about 1 year ago

• Should I disable any modules for security reasons?

  Are you sure that module isn't just called bochs? It is a DRM driver for a graphics device provided by the Bochs emulator. Source: over 2 years ago

• is vmware 16 workstation player real? (vmware.com)

  There are other projects out there that can do that kind of emulation though. You might look into QEMU and Bochs. Https://bochs.sourceforge.io/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Where can I start with os development?

  However, most of these are rather old since they mention floppy drives and the legacy BIOS. If your machine is very recent, it's possible the code won't even work. Ou can still use Bochs, qemu, or VirtualBox to run it, if you insist. Source: over 2 years ago
