can you link to the post that claims the protocol is not open? I'm interested in looking into that
anyway, source for the magic wormhole can be found here: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole which also links to both the Mailbox code and the Transit Relay code.
While others already pointed out the similarity to persistent LiveUSB, I would argue that this also feels a bit like Android desktop modes, like Samsung Dex.
Thank you very much.
Yes, it is.
But I am not exactly sure that this is what OP had in mind.
What you cc'd is a Lemmy community for Newpipe.
Still, nice to see that the latest update makes it work for you.
BTW good presentation on FOSDEM👍
Ah yes, sorry. The video is from Youtube, but post points to a link that also adds one of privacy frontends. However Youtube has been very uncooperative with these kinds of things in the last year or so.
Here is a direct link: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4TmHSsIU1ns
I also added it to the post description.
yes, valid point, thank you for the correction
As jet points out, QEMU for actual hardware virtualisation.
There is one relevant thing, which is not exactly in the same category, but does somewhat similar thing:
containers
most popular example being Docker
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Containerization_(computing)
containers don't emulate whole hardware stack like virtual machines do, they just run the guest OS on top of host OS.
so because they don't put resources towards emulating hardware, they are much more resource efficient.
so if your problem is "I'm running Fedora but I want to run something that for some reason runs just on Ubuntu", then you could use containers for that.
containers are mostly used in headless environments (as in servers, no GUI), so running and displaying desktop Linux inside them is a bit tricky, but it can be done.
Lemmy is not like Reddit, you can edit the title even after the post was made.
Also, the latest release of Linux Mint is Xia:

ah yes, that, wormhole.app, that is closed source. (but if I am reading this correctly, some early iteration of it is open source. https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole )
Magic wormhole is a different thing.
