The current design uses several CPLD for address decoding instead of original parts. An FPGA is planned for the remaining AT controllers, which are now hard to source: - the 2x 8237 DMA controller - the 2x 8259 Interrupt controller - the 82

Kubernetes works great for stateless workloads. For anything stateful, monolithic, or that doesn't require autoscaling, I find LXC more appropriate: - it can be clusterized (LXD/Incus), like K8S but unlike Compose - it exposes som

The Manchester Mark 1 was working but the Ferranti Mark 1 (its cleaned up, commercial design) wasn't finished yet. The SSEM/Baby had evolved into the Mark 1 by 1949.

No. It uses a VM to virtualize a Linux kernel running LXD containers. Those are not virtual machines. https://github.com/orbstack/orbstack/issues/461#issuecomment...

Yes. In fact it's accelerated and supports OpenGL 4.6 while macOS tops at OpenGL 4.1, and really mostly only supports Metal nowadays. With Asahi you can use OpenGL and Vulkan. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024&#

Of course Orbstack is fast, it uses LXD, not actual VMs. In fact, Orbstack on Mac is what made me switch to LXD (Incus) on Linux to replace Docker and virt-manager.

I feel the same and decided my next update would be to Asahi (Fedora or Ubuntu). I switched from Linux to macOS a few years ago, but I never really felt like I was the target user for this environment. It always feels like I have to adapt t

In a cloud environment like OpenStack, virtual machines are a means to provide compute resources, not an end goal like in VMware. Elastic workloads typically scale horizontally, unlike the vertical scaling or static provisioning seen in env

OpenStack isn’t a competitor to VMware but to AWS and GCP. It enables you to create a fully API-driven data center that includes elastic compute, elastic network, and elastic storage resources. The key difference is that, unlike a public cl

I would be interested in knowing how they achieved these improvements. To me the main contributing factors to power efficiency are the architecture, very complex on x86, and the manufacturing process, which has hit a miniaturization wall. A

Answering my own question for anyone else who might be curious: OrbStack is essentially LXD for macOS, so on Linux, LXD indeed provides an identical workflow. In fact, LXD is a bit better. The command line is more powerful, it supports snap

I currently use Vagrant on Linux, but it's slow and resource heavy. With OrbStack, the ability to set up an Ubuntu or Fedora 'VM' in a few seconds, then install even complex SDN workloads inside is incredible. Now I want some

I'm not sure I fully understand the technical differences between an OrbStack VM and a container, as both seem to use a shared kernel. What would be the closest alternative on Linux? LXD? I've grown accustomed to the convenience o

This is becoming less and less the case, unless you use a more DIY-oriented distribution such as Void. Most systemd distributions have a lot of technical merit (I like Fedora Silverblue), but they are increasingly becoming monolithic, so ha
