QEMU and HVF
# Summary
A few notes I took to see if I could use MacOS as Hypevirsor in a similar fashion to Linux
I wanted to see how few addons were needed instead of using Parallels, Virtual Box, VM Fsion etc.
The idea is to use QEMU, Hypervisor Framework (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hypervisor) and some custom host networking.
# Installations
brew install qemu (For controlling Hypervisor Framework)
brew install cdrtools (For making cloud init iso's)
http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/download.xhtml (For customer tap based networking)

How is git commit sha1 formed

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

$ git show
commit d6cd1e2bd19e03a81132a23b2025920577f84e37
Author: jnthn <jnthn@jnthn.net>
Date:   Sun Apr 15 16:35:03 2012 +0200

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.
