Fun because you like rewriting existing code?

Fun because you already have test suites you don’t have to rewrite?

Fun because you feel morally superior by writing fresh code, even though the old code is running critical applications in production?

Fun because you think your smarter than the engineers that lay the ground work before you?

Fun because you like hunting bugs you created thinking you know better, while calling your rewrite superior.

Its both low quality code and massive energy costs. Its a loose loose situation. If AI disappeared tomorrow, nothing would change, besides tech bros actually have to do a honest days work.

Ensure your other VMs are adequately delayed at initial boot, as that can cause weird things that need DHCP to be available

Otherwise I never had issue running the router as a VM.

Considering they have an active GitHub repo, likely recently. Even more so with the BSD’s incorporating it as a default.

The BSD’s are embracing xlibre, so it is a project that’s being taken seriously and has real technical merits.
