M4 Macs can't virtualise older macOS
(eclecticlight.co)
If you’ve already got a new M4 Mac and tried to run a macOS virtual machine on it, then you might have been disappointed. It seems that M4 chips can’t virtualise any version of macOS before 13.4 Ventura. So before you trade in or pass on your M1, M2 or M3 Mac, if you need access to older VMs, you might like to check whether this affects you.

VMware Workstation Shifting from Proprietary Code to Using Upstream KVM
(phoronix.com)
This isn't an off-schedule April Fools' Joke or anything like that but an exciting sign of the times: VMware Workstation will be shifting off its proprietary base and onto leveraging the upstream Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) for virtualization needs moving forward.

Ask HN: Kernel Containers (security like VMs, perf like LXC)
(ycombinator.com)
Frustrated by our own performance challenges with Kata Containers, we have developed a new hypervisor from scratch that can run each Docker container in isolation (i.e., no shared host kernel), and with native performance (i.e., no virtualization runtime overhead or cold starts).

The Aurga Viewer Wireless KVM
(taoofmac.com)
As much as I love virtualizing machines in my homelab and putting the hardware as far away from my desk as possible, the truth of the matter is that there always comes a time when you need “physical” access to the host to deal with boot issues, change BIOS configurations and other types of housekeeping–and regular remote access just won’t cut it in those times.

Windows Server 2008 IA64 Guest on HP Integrity VM (HP-UX)
(virtuallyfun.com)
This is a guide on how to install Windows Server 2008 guest on HP Integrity VM. Yes, Itanium and HP-UX involved. Unlike installing HP-UX or OpenVMS guests, this is not widely documented (or at all) and a rather obscure process. I suppose Windows on HP-UX was never popular in first place and only maybe saw some use in the enterprise.
