FreeBSD Bhyve Virtualization
Other than that, I use bhyve on my laptop daily since around 2015-2016. It was somewhat painful at first. I had to bake a CD key into Windows ISO for headless install but now VNC support exists and it's easy to output any graphical installer via VNC.
bhyve doesn't offer API and has not the most user-friendly interface (vm-bhyve[1] for the rescue!) but overall, I couldn't be happier with its - typical for FreeBSD - _set-and-forget_ stability.

What Access Point (L2 VLAN support) could I use to connect/extend a network
I am using FreeBSD in the workstation, I have both intel and realtek, and the main network uses the LAN interface, but I need the VLAN 20 to assign IPs from that range to some VMs (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Virtual-Switches)

how to create a gif/gre tunnel to access a DHCP server in a VLAN from a wifi only host
I want to assign IPs from VLAN 20 172.16.1.0/24 to VMs (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Virtual-Switches) running on a host where main IP 192.168.1.10 is on the LAN network (no VLAN 20) this is the setup:

I use Jails to run applications like Postgres, Redis, Python api in an isolated environment. Jails is native FreeBSD, but isolated.

Anyone have gpu passthrough working with FreeBSD as the host OS?
Of what is properly supported, works beautifully and I have to say vm-bhyve is a joy to use. Everything is very cohesive and solid as a whole; I recommend it for servers but for GPU passthrough, only if you like a challenge.

Linux+KVM moving to FreeBSD+Bhyve
I recommend to look into some third-party tooling to manage VMs. I prefer vm-bhyve, https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve

Using i5 Fanless mini-pc as router and plex transcoding server
I was thinking opnsense + https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve to run a debian instance, which can then run everything in docker containers. It's inception but better utilization of all the services.

FreeBSD Jails for Fun and Profit
Perhaps it would! But the userbase is definitely what finally got me into FreeBSD. The fact that hobbyists were contributing such excellent cli tools as `iocage` [0] and `vm-bhyve` [1] really is what got me over my fears.

New Docker Desktop: Run WASM Applications Alongside Linux Containers in Docker
> docker desktop is pretty dead now that it's got restrictive licensing etc...
It would probably be nice to hear more about why you think this is! I've certainly heard of some having to move away from Docker Desktop.
However, at the scale where you need a license (250 employees or 10 million $ in annual revenue) it's not quite as big of an issue, especially at their current pricing per seat: https://www.docker.com/pricing/
> stick to standard open source tools like Colima etc...
Sticking to open source is a great idea!
I think mentioning that Colima runs on macOS and Linux only at the moment is also a good idea: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima
A large market share of the Docker Desktop installs are Windows in particular (since it's "the one way" how most install Docker nowadays, as opposed to not really needing a GUI or the supporting tools on Linux).
In another comment I mentioned Podman Desktop as a mostly viable alternative: https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop
Then there's also Rancher Desktop as well: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop
Regardless, it's nice to see reputable orgs behind the open source projects as well, which gives a bit more credence to their chances of surviving for the years to come.

Finch: An open-source client for container development
Great, then can you speak to whether rancher-desktop supports the "--platform" argument to "run" the same way that finch does?
I wouldn't mind answering it myself, but it looks like rancher-desktop is an electron something or other: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/blob/v1.6... and even downloading the 500MB release zip shows that there's `Rancher Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/resources/darwin/lima/bin/limactl` hidden in it, but I'm a distrustful sort and I don't want to crawl through unlimited lines of typescript to find out what this is going to do to my system
Maybe it's just that I'm not the right audience for this, since I am the polar opposite of "some gui fanciness," as I came up through the docker-machine universe, and now colima, and thus have a lot more comfort debugging CLI tooling when something inevitably goes toes up
