great! how does this compare to orbstack? brew install orbstack orb # you're now running in an ubuntu VM
Orb stack is great but it requires a paid license

What is your use case where not having an ECC is critical? Assuming something related to complex calculations that cannot fail and takes a lot of time to process?
If you care about your data, you want ECC. If a bitflip happens in memory, zfs will for example, not catch the error and happily write out the corrupted file.
What is the probability of this happening on a home (not a datacenter) under normal conditions of temperature, radiation, etc?

#83Would you mind educating me about use cases for having one or even multiple MacOS VMs on an apple silicon machine please?
Test environments for macOS configuration, compliance workflows, application installer build processes, matrix testing across macOS versions, etc. I work for an MDM provider and constantly have 2-3 machines with 2 VMs each running.

#84Can you use to launch an Intel VM on Apple Silicone and visa versa? I’m interested in doing this so I can compile C++ applications for different architectures on MacOS. Do you know of any other “easy” methods?
I don't believe the built in virtualization framework supports emulation, but you can do this with QEMU. An easy way to get started is with UTM: https://mac.getutm.app
I tried UTM - didn't like it, inconsistent, shows a black screen and you don't know what's going on. Use qemu instead.

I have an M4 Mac Mini running the following in a VM: - OpenWRT (previously OPNSense & once Mikrotik RouterOS) using 2x 2.5Gbps Ethernet NICs via USB-C - OpenMediaVault (Exposing a 4-bay DAS via USB-C, 2x3TB Drives in Btrfs RAID-1) - HassOS (Home Assistant OS) On the host, I'm running OLlama and a reverse proxy through Docker. The whole thing uses 7 watts of power at any given time - I've seen max peaks of 12w when ru…
Out of curiosity, why not containers for OMV and Haas? QoS? And I’m dying to know what you are using openwrt for. I’m looking at setting up a Mini as well, and have been using Colima/LIMA to run containers on Rosetta/Mac vz locally and it seems to work well enough.
I assume you mean something other than OMV, ran in a container? Reason I put it in a VM was that I wanted to use a Linux compatible file system. I’m using BTRFS with raid, I’m sure I could have ran APFS in raid instead!
For haas, it was partly QoS, partly because I had historically ran all of my things separately. I might look at bringing that to the container level.
I’m using OpenWRT as my main router! One port to my LAN switch, one to the modem.
