I guess #RISCV64 based VMs would be really pretty cool on #BoxyBSD. I think this would be really valuable but I’m struggling on possible implementations.

A: Using my 4x #RV64 #VisionFive2 boards - each board has 8GB. This could lead into a temporary and time limited, dedicated usage of 7-30d.

B: It could be shared across with 7 users by #jails on #FreeBSD. Requires better support in FreeBSD.

C: QEMU emulated instances running on amd64

I’d really like to see rv64 being pushed and it was excactly the reason to get those boards to get more experience on that platform. However, just sharing some ideas - it does not mean that they will be available in the near future (but would be cool if so).

#snac 2.48 (2.49-dev) compile for #RISCV64 #Debian & #Ubuntu. Thanks to @grunfink@comam.es for today's release!

This should help all the people that are running on #RV64 hardware (like the #VisionFive2, #MilkV, #LicheePi4A, ...) and also want to run #snac2 as a #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse like me.

I can just fully approve @DesRoin@geekdom.social! The #VisionFive2 #RISCV64 (#RISCV #RV64 #RISC) board is absolutely awesome!

This is how one of the cases looks like for the #VisionFive2 #RISCV board.

Happy serving on #OpenBSD & #Ubuntu. Hopefully soon again back on #FreeBSD. #rv64 #risc #risc64 #riscv64

Are you into #RISCV64? #Ubuntu #Linux provides a really good hardware support for the #StarFive #VisionFive2 board including up-to-date packages and security updates in a long term view.

Just created some #RISCV based #Container images of #Debian #Ubuntu & #Fedora. This might become helpful when integrating #RV64 in your build & test pipelines.
