After rescuing and restoring a lovely Amiga 500, I decided to look for another old computer to restore.

Having a working Amiga 500 that’s able to run most classic games is nice, but having one that’s also able to run some of the newer software is much, much better.

At the end of part 1 we had a clean Amiga 500, both in the inside and the outside, which we couldn’t test because the power supply that came with it was broken.

While I’ve never been much of a collector myself, over the last couple years I’ve acquired a taste for retrocomputing content, avidly consuming the videos produced by people like The 8-Bit Guy, Adrian’s Digital Basement and Jan Beta, among others.

Being able to run AI models locally is one of the coolest tech things 2023 brought to the table.

It’s been almost a year since I transitioned from the Virtualization to the Automotive team at Red Hat with the goal of ensuring RHIVOS ships with a powerful Virtualization stack.

There’s this interesting idea of adding support for running Wasm/WASI payloads in libkrun, which is something we could easily achieve by simply embedding a Wasm runtime, statically built for Linux, into initrd.

Sometimes, while working on macOS, you may find the need to test something quick on Linux, or use some utility that’s only available on this OS.

Are you feeling adventurous today?

As I wrote on my previous post, Enabling HYP mode on the Raspberry Pi 2, the newest machine from the Raspberry Pi Foundation features a Cortex-A7 with Virtualization Extensions, but it isn’t possible to make use of such feature out of the box.
