mostly since people want me to file a bug w/ qemu about their ahci emulation, but qemu requires a version, and I don't know what version this hypervisor is using

does it reproduce on the packaged qemu?

not sure how easy that is to work out

but the only way I can tell is the guest addition thing

and I'm not 100% on that

i don't have any sytems where I can test that

we've tried to build the qemu guest bits on illumos (for other reasons)... not had success so far

ah, I haven't ever looked

or at the fw-cfg thing

it probably just needs a few weeks of dedicated work to patch and get build

i guess if it's something that should hold up RTI or not

looks like topicbox fixed their DNS so that {mx0,mx1}.topicbox.com once again point to a functioning SMTP server..

jbk: not my department, but I wouldn't if it's a hosted qemu

best you could do is tell the host and let them do it

btw, the 2025b timezone data was released, which Canadians in British Columbia will need to have installed before the now-cancelled DST switch in November

So jealous of them.

You shouldn't be. A rational BC government would have cancelled it before March.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that point.

I like having more light in the evening.

(longer light, however you want to say it.)

That's not the time authority's problem, but your workplace's problem for kicking out too late.

But that's not a convo the West is ready for.

My understanding is that in Xinjiang the time zone is so far perma-DST'd that working hours have shifted later to compensate.
