#VirtualBox 7.0.18 is out now with more fixes to prevent UBSAN warnings and a fix for an issue with incorrectly displayed time stamps within mounted shared folder for #Linux Guest Additions, as well as a fix an issue that caused a host system crash when the VM used a bridged or host-only network adapter.

Wow, drag & dropping files between Nautilus and #GNOMEBoxes just works?! This is so cool 🤯
Makes it quite convenient to use #virtualization on #Linux for the one or two times per year where you might need to test something on Windows with some esoteric file.
It looks like Parallels will be yanking the ability to auto-start virtual machines upon startup on Macs in the next major version.
Why?
"According to the statistics from the users who participate in the Parallels Customer Experience program, some product features are used very seldom or not at all. We have decided to either stop supporting them or completely remove them from Parallels Desktop and focus on frequently used features and further enhancements."
Now that #Vmware is dead, what is your «plan B» for on prem #virtualization ?
At work, I don’t think we can’t afford a migration to #proxmox : storage support is a mess and Ceph is probably a no-go.
On prem #hyperv is slowly going down the hill as Microsoft is pushing everyone to Azure.
Before the licencing change we had to pay about 14K€/year for support.
Now we would have to pay ~180K€/year.
There is a reason why I've narrowed down my search to either Intel 10th or 11th Gen Core processors, AMD Ryzen, Intel Atom or Xeon D processors for upgrades to my current homelab virtualization servers is due to the lack of official support for P/E-cores. I don't have time to futz around with bodges to maybe get things to work.
And, as a former IT person, I wouldn't want to risk that in any kind of testing or production environment.
