#2> Audio recording: Now using Vorbis as the default audio format for WebM containers. Opus is no longer being used.
I wonder why.

Ooo, can’t wait to try this out!

That's caught my attention

What do people use who run an M1/M2 based Mac but want to run an x86 VM?
Because you can't do this with Virtualbox.

Searching a GitHub mirror reveals https://github.com/mdaniel/virtualbox-org-svn-vbox-trunk/com...
No idea what bugref:10275 is. It's presumably not https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10275

If you really need to, UTM (which uses qemu for x86).
But if you just want to run x86 Windows software, it's much better to run that under a Windows 11 ARM64 VM.

UTM doesn't have vagrant support yet:

I basically just want to continue using vagrant, ansible, and ubuntu on my M1 -- what's currently the best stack for that? I tried out Parallels, but there don't seem to be any reputable and up-to-date Ubuntu images for it.

I rent x86 VPS and using it remotely. x86 VM on macOS basically is unusable. It's doable with qemu emulation, but it's as slow as molasses.

UTM. It's qemu under the hood and will emulate x86 if you want it to. (Or other architectures, it runs Mac OS 9 under an emulated PowerPC perfectly. Great fun.)
But it's not quick. I would not attempt to run a modern Windows on it, I don't think it would work due to a lack of performance.
