@baronvonjace This is a limitation of Virtualbox - on SOME platforms.

We ran into this a LOT when the C.H.I.P was being sold, and there was an effort to making the update mechanism less crap than "download this image and use this writing software to overwrite the NAND" by using a VirtualBox image to create the image and packages wanted, then write via a special program (similar to the way avrdude works.) It just would NOT work on some platforms, and it was flaky at best on Linux.

I am NOT sure if QEMU/KVM is able to overcome it for your use case, but I have had some luck with it.

Virt-Manager is a somewhat ok gui for KVM (Kernel Virtual Machines - not the device that you'd use to attach multiple machines to a single keyboard and display.)
It may even be able to convert your disk image to the qcow format that it uses from the virtualbox format.

( I say "somewhat ok" because I don't care for some things it does myself... so not PERFECT.)

"Official Monero website is hacked to deliver currency-stealing malware"

"The supply-chain attack came to light on Monday when a site user reported that the cryptographic hash for a command-line interface wallet downloaded from the site didn't match the hash listed on the page."

Good reminder to check your hashes! And that doing so not only helps you, but can help other users.

Elric is one of my favorite stories. I can't read the books any more, the writing is so bad, but the *story* had a deep effect on me as a kid.

But on TV? ​ Call me dubious.

I mean, the character literally destroys the world. It's why they exist. It's the point of the series. He's sickly. He's evil AF.

And the tale's a not-at-all-veiled metaphor for Attack of the "Why Am I So Fucked Up?" Puberty Hormones
