Hype for the Future 137D → What to Expect from Virtualization Videos

Introduction When novaTopFlex creates videos involving the presence of virtual machines, expect the display resolution of the display to be recorded using the ffmpeg command to be set to 960x540. The ffmpeg command-line parameters should be set as follows: ffmpeg -f pulse -i default -f x11grab -framerate 60 -draw_mouse 0 -i .mp4 Virtualization Standards More information will be available directly within the video comments at https://www.youtube.com/@novaTopFlex.

Hype for the Future 137A → Virtual Machine Demonstrations

Introduction On the novaTopFlex channel on YouTube, at https://www.youtube.com/@novaTopFlex, numerous virtual machine demonstrations are often more difficult to insert and identify with respect to the associated systems. In an effort to ensure the most appropriate terms for formatting, mkfs.ext4 is the preferred command within virtual machines to format applicable disk images. Virtual Machines Upcoming videos requiring virtual machines will include Alpine and Slackware Linux […]

Currently trying to convert VHD files to Qcow2, because I'm trying to move off of Hyper-V and VirtualBox, and over to KVM.

Using the built-in qemu conversion tool produced a file that wouldn't boot. So I'm trying the Starwind converter now. If that fails, I'll just have to do it the old-fashioned way, and make a new VM to recreate things on. Bleh.

Awww, I must have built this when Andre Braugher died.
This reminds me I need to install whatever version of VMware workstation I used to create the windows 7 environment I can create custom stuff for Sim City4 in.
Chores...

I am told #proxmox is fab & it is ... but does it make sense to run #nixos #virtualmachines on proxmox: one for each task e.g. #ids #Jellyfin #peertube ? Or is it best to put all one's eggs into 1 single #cpu #ram #storage basket in one bare metal server that does it all? Or what of a #minipc #nixos farm instead? Does that spread risk of downtime due to machine breakdown issues or is maintenance too hard? Any experiments or experiences to report ? Thanks. #homelab #PVE #lxe @homelab
