A Nixpkgs bisect leads to the beginning of an exploration into the various components involved in virtio-gpu working, and how they communicate between themselves.

This time, in a stream during which I actually feel awake for once, we make a lot of progress implementing XDG Desktop Portals in Spectrum, and I come up with an out-of-the-box idea to reduce complexity of the host side.

A little bit more progress on implementing XDG Desktop Portals, and finding and (preliminarily) fixing a Cloud Hypervisor bug.

In this stream I showed the work I've been doing on implementing XDG Desktop Portals in Spectrum, and made a bit of progress on it.

I'm working on adding test cases for a kernel bug I've been working on a patch for. (See the patch for details of the bug.) I have no idea how tests work for the kernel, so let's figure it out together!

This is a very low effort streaming setup, on an underpowered computer, so we'll see how well it works.

A demonstration from Puck of work underway to allow the compositor to tell which Spectrum VM a Wayland window belongs to, using the draft security-contexts protocol.

More information in her mailing list post.

I'm trying to implement shared directories for VMs, and I'm starting with writing some tests. The bulk of the program that starts VMs is mostly written in Rust, but testing this feature requires setting up mount namespaces and stuff, so it's easier to write the test in C.

Sorry for the audio quality — I couldn't get the good mic working.

I'll be reading the chat in #spectrum:libera.chat. 😃

This is a demonstration of how VMs currently work in Spectrum, a compartmentalized operating system I'm developing. It shows how VMs are configured, and how they interact with the user and each other.
