Vates demoed on kubecon an ARM workstation running XCP-ng, a xen-based virtualization platform.

It’s still early days, but I’m hoping it can reach homelabs, the big question being hardware enablement, which is difficult on ARM baseboards due to lack of standardization.

Disclaimer: I work with Vates, and prepared some component to compile under ARM to prepare the demo.

There’s time until March for the maintainers of the 3 niche architectures to organize and make rust available for them. Doesn’t sound that abrupt to me

While it performs well nd has fancy new features, it’s still lacking one that I use every day: find words on the already-printed text: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/189

It looks like it’s going to take months until it’s available

I know, yes. But I’m talking about virtualization, not containerizarion

Personally, I want to properly isolate the services with virtualization. The main reason is I expose some of the services online, and I don’t t want to only rely on keeping all software up-to-date at all times. This allows me to limit the damage if one of the services is compromised.

I wouldn’t use MacOS as the virtualization platform, and instead use something else, like BSD, Linux, or xen-based for my servers

Did Synology just hire some brain dead Broadcom executive?

Well, Citrix’s CEO was Broadcom’ software boss

And also hasa place at the US treasury, he’s DOGE-affiliated as well: https://www.crn.com/news/cloud/2025/citrix-parent-ceo-krause-on-doge-role-we-re-applying-public-company-standards-to-the-federal-government
