BrianKrebsWas just browsing the Internet in a VM with script-blockers turned off for a bit, and half the sites were like "IT PUTS THE DATA IN THE BASKET OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!" with multiple videos, dozens of ads and and 99 pieces of third-party Javascript loading in the background. The amount of advertiser profiling and data sharing that goes on when you visit these noisy sites with a mobile device is even higher and more invasive, which might explain why I do most of my web browsing inside a VM (but with script blockers turned on).
Sorry. VM=Virtual Machine, like Parallels, VMWare or VirtualBox, which let you load another operating system as a guest OS and run it on top of your host OS. The nice thing about a VM is that you can configure it how you like, save a snapshot, and then revert to that snapshot when you're ready to shut down.
Emory@briankrebs if you have not seen @howardnoakley's impressive collection of free software you may not know that he offers several excellent options for #virtualization on #appleSilicon.
we're talking elegant, powerful software that hooks into core frameworks most people ignore entirely (containers, xhyve/bhyve that sort of thing). you gotta check these out imo. i use them for handling malicious code and for agents to use contained desktop environments. #infosec #bestof
I am walking someone through using a #Vimy vm for #openclaw
> The ultimate lightweight utility for running macOS VMs. Just double-click a VM and it opens using its saved settings. Typically uses around 35 MB of memory, plus that allocated to the VM. Settings and its bundle format are written by Viable 1.0.9 and later. It has no interface apart from its Open command.
dope.
