Today I've played around with Bhyve and vm-bhyve for the first time and I like it very much.
I've used QEMU/KVM for everything until now, but I'm thinkering with switching completely to Bhyve.
The first VM is already up and will be the base for the Dark Blue Raven website.

🐢💤 Breaking news: #OpenBSD can now pretend to be a real OS by running on Apple's #Hypervisor, thanks to a few lines of code wizardry. Who knew virtual invisibility on #macOS was the final frontier for OpenBSD? 🌌🤷♂️

I spent last week rebuilding my entire setup — migrating from #Unraid to #Proxmox.
New storage layout, new VMs, new containers, new automations.
It’s amazing how a clean slate can simplify everything and spark new ideas.
Still tweaking, still optimizing, but honestly? Feels good to be back in the #hypervisor world.
Any of you doing winter homelab overhauls right now?
A question for SPARC experts – did anyone use virtualization/hypervisors on SPARC v9/Sun4u machines, i.e. before the availability of Sun4v processors? If so, is there any sample code for a (ideally bare-metal "type 1") hypervisor available?
The only reference I found is a paper by Leon SPARC (v8) users who conclude that SPARC v8 should be classically (Popek/Goldberg) virtualizable using a trap- and emulate approach.
Wouldn't it be cool if we built a little bootable #hypervisor that could run #Android in a protected VM for grandma, making her old computer safe, fast, and simple, and then, because it's built on that same secure fabric, you could just add more computers to the network for instant backup, shared resources, and more fun?
The last new #Linux #kernel for 2025 was just released and there are some really cool changes all around. One of the new additions is detection for FreeBSD's #bhyve #hypervisor. Wicked cool!
From the article:
"In what might be a sign of the quiet continued spread of FreeBSD, the kernel can now detect and handle that it is running under FreeBSD's built-in bhyve hypervisor. Coincidentally, FreeBSD 15.0 just appeared as well, and in this release bhyve supports over 255 virtual processors [PDF] in a VM. Now Linux can handle that configuration."
The juicy details are here:

If you are wanting to try out #QubesOS, i'd recommend checking out the FAQ, forum and especially the HCL to give you some idea of whether or not or how well your particular hardware may work with it.

DJ Ware has recently released a video for those who may have heard of #Qubes but never really looked into it as well as those who haven't and may have some interest in something more secure than what other #linux distros offer.

Что такое виртуальная машина и чем она отличается от виртуальных систем
В комментариях к одной из моих первых статей на Хабре мне было предложено написать статью про виртуальные машины. Долго думал об этом, было много дел не располагающих к писательству, и вот собрался наконец. Начну с остренького. В ИТ есть только одна настоящая система виртуальных машин. Это zVM. Всё остальное претендующее на это название на самом деле является системами виртуальных ... систем. Давайте разбираться с котлетами и мухами.
#ProxmoxVE 8 to 9 Upgrade #Guide
This #tutorial walks through the in-place upgrade from #Proxmox8 to #Proxmox9, documenting each step along the way. Our goal was to ensure a smooth transition while preserving all existing #virtualmachines, #containers, and configurations. This guide covers verifying system health, updating repositories, performing the upgrade, and confirming the installation afterward, all from the #Proxmox Shell.
