On the cheesegrater(2019 MacPro) it’s a little convoluted. During covid times it was my single box lab since it had so much memory (768TB). So I was running nested ESXI hosts and then VMs under that. I also have a M1 MacBook Pro that I had parallels run ARM VMs (mostly MacOS, Windows, and a couple of Debian installs I think).

I have been looking at VMWare alternatives at work so for the hypervisors I’ve been playing around.

I do this stuff for a living but I also do it home for fun and profit. Ok not so much profit. Ok no profit but definitely for the fun. And because I love large electric bills.

Ok I’ll have to try this. The weird thing is my little test proxmox server is a 2013 trashcan. So this would be like a hackintosh running on Mac hardware. Would that technically be a hackintosh? I’m not really sure. According to the Apple license you can virtualize MacOS if it’s running on Mac hardware. I’m not sure if that requires MacOS as the hypervisor. Regardless this is not something I knew about. Very cool. Thanks for the info.

Well I do but I have a machine with 3/4 of a terabyte of memory on it.

Work scraps are great sometimes.

How are you running the MacOS VMs. The machine I have is a cheese grater so that makes it easier.

Oh you said gas…. Sorry I misunderstood for a second.

Anytime there is an unknown like this and you put yourself in danger, regardless of how small it might be perceived, to help another human being, you did a very brave thing. That dude is awesome.

It sorta makes up that he works for fox… 🤪. I keed I keed. Seriously though… dude is a hero.

That’s like 3mph for 17 hours. Jesus…. That’s a lot of wheaties… by my back of the napkin calculations that’s burning like 4200 calories a day.

Was in the same boat. Never really went anywhere since 2019 and figured it was ok to start doing professional related travel. Went to a conf in Vegas late August and came down with it the day I got back. Fuck traveling from now on.

Yep. Very domain specific knowledge but couldn’t pour piss outta a boot with the instructions on the heel.

Yeah I think this an mSATA port.

Edit: on second glance I think the right part of the connector has too many pins.

Fuck… guess I’m old too. Not sure when that happened.
