Oracle was responsible for my first complaint, while I was doing my first internship in the US. Because once I used my private laptop with the VirtualBox Extension Pack while connected to the work network. The incredible legal/licensing team got in touch because they identified this use. Since than I avoid Oracle like plague.
What value does vm encryption have? I’d rather encrypt my host and leave my vms unencrypted, given it would be possible to back door virtual box binaries given an unencrypted file system, or keylog keys assuming a remote breach.
Virtualbox VM encryption can be useful if the host hypervisor is compromised and the unauthorized party uploads data on disk that the host can trivially access (as is frequently the case with ransomware).

> Audio recording: Now using Vorbis as the default audio format for WebM containers. Opus is no longer being used. I wonder why.
It cannot possibly be for technical reasons. It's almost certainly something to do with this: https://www.vectis.com/media/vectis-ip-announces-call-for-pa... Which is complete bullsh*t. Looks like Fraunhoffer and Dolby intend to go after any commercial product using Opus, and demand fees. They claim this is only for hardware devices … for now. As to software, they only state they do not intend to go after open source…
Has anyone had luck getting decent GUI performance (macOS host, Linux guest)? I don't need 3D, just sane 2D performance. The last time I tried this, it was so bad that I had to drastically decrease the window size to get reasonable performance. As in, it would basically lock up above a certain window size, and no reasonable amount of waiting would get it to respond. (And yes, I fiddled with all of the obvious knobs f…
