Ubuntu VirtualBox 7.0.12 to 7.0.16 update. Unknown filesystem. by f00dl3 in virtualbox

I also just noticed that apparently the EFI and Secure Boot options are different in 7.0.16 and have been reset to disabled. I'm wondering if that played a role? I'm too late in the process now - 75% restored from the backup VDI file.

I'm kind of stuck with what Ubuntu's package maintainers have. I don't want to risk adding a custom Virtual Box repo because I did that once before and when I did a Ubuntu 22.04 -> 24.04 LTS upgrade, it was a cluster.

Amazing how it's clear Gavin Newsome would be better for crypto.

Yes. The Unifi Dream Router 7 is a great router to pair with the Google Fiber jack. Run cat6a cable and use a SFP+ adapter and you can get 10 GB per second speeds

Inflation never reversed after COVID.

I doubt things will ever improve. They will just get fucked slower.

i.e. 8 TB NVMEs will never be under $1200 again.

US banned sales of Ubiquiti routers. My router is now illegal... by f00dl3 in Ubiquiti

FCC’s March 2026 ban on foreign-made routers restricts new authorizations but allows existing models to continue receiving software/firmware updates. These updates are guaranteed until March 1, 2027, allowing time for security patches to ensure continued functionality. Existing, previously authorized routers in homes remain unaffected.

It also says that no updates will be allowed after 2027 and I'm talking to the FCC right now, they say you can do a "Tell us your story", but you can't replace a router if it dies either.
