Just felt a really strong jolt. My phone was going nuts with the notifications, too. Apparently it was a 5.1 a little north of Santa Cruz.
Let's see if I can actually get to sleep after this.
Report by Kyarra Harris for #MontereyHerald
"Organizers estimated more than 10,000 took part in Saturday afternoon’s #NoKings Day demonstration at Window On the Bay Park in #Monterey.
...
"People lined up on Del Monte Avenue from near Municipal Wharf 2 to about a mile past Camino Aguajito.
…
"' I’m retired #military and so is my husband,’ said Sherry Withrow, from Pacific Grove. 'This president has no guardrails and not a day goes by without his insults. How can people succumb to someone like him, who threatens us?’
…
“'My sign says "Here comes the sun” and it’s a call to keep showing up, the future is together,' said Mary Catherine Malley, from Salinas who came dressed in a sun costume. 'Protest is part of it, but we need to continue work outside of it too, it’s #NotASpectatorSport.’”

🧵 The Blackmagic Atem Software Control does not run on #macOS #Monterey in #VirtualBox.
It does run on the same installation of Monterey on a MacBook Pro 2017.
So the situation is: #DanteController has quit working in #Windows10 in Virtualbox due to Windows updates (sic!). In macOS however, I can't run #Blackmagic #AtemControl. Funnily, #AtemSetup does work.
These are the three programs I need that don't run in #Wine.
I had a #chatGPT about it. It was interesting, yet not entertaining. This thing still can't handle data sparsity. So it can't help with special problems. It keeps telling shit and even contradicts itself. So, when things get hard, #LLM-based #AI doesn't help at all.
So, is there any human intelligence having an idea?
🧵 The entire stupid idea of running #macOS #Monterey in #VirtualBox on #Linux comes from the sad fact that #DanteController by #Audinate keeps crashing in #Windows10 in Virtualbox.
It used to work, but then #Microsoft did some updates to Windows 10 (sic!) and since then it just crashes when it talks to #Dante devices on the network. I dug up an old version of Dante Controller, because I thought it was a problem with the recent version that is targeted to Windows11, but eventually this didn't help.
So, I will see if Dante Controller crashes in Monterey/Virtualbox, too.
The current Blackmagic Switchers app doesn't (yet) run on Monterey, apparently. But it runs in Windows 10.
Oh it's the crazy Linuxer again, nobody in #EventTech would use Linux anyways, blablabla, heard all of it.
But all of this is because software manufacturers don't provide Linux versions for tools that internally use Java or QT, both platform-independent.
Fun fact: Old #QLab (macOS only, no Windows) does work.
🧵 So it turns out sharing files without #GuestExtensions between #macOS in #VirtulBox and #Linux as a host system is drop-dead easy.
You just switch on SMB file sharing in macOS (#Monterey in my case).
#Konqueror or other CIFS/SMB-enabled file tools can than access your virtual Mac effortlessly.
Simply reverse the game… not the host is the server, the guest OS is.
This of course works only in bridged network mode.
Funny that I didn't find this solution on the web.
🧵 So, #GuestExtensions fail to install on #macOS #Monterey and I don't know why. I disabled protection using csrutil but that didn't solve it.
I can set different screen resolutions with vboxmanage, but shared folders don't work, altough I can see my Samba server in the network, I can't see the vboxsrv server.
What to do now?
I need to user certain tools that only run on macOS or Windows, but they quit working in #Windows10 after recent updates (sic!) and I don't want to use #Windows11, not even in #VirtualBox.
And yes, running macOS in VirtualBox on #Linux is conflicting with #Apple's EULA.
