well... There are PHPVirtualbox, remotebox and hyperbox, that I know of and have used or do use. There may be others now, but I stopped looking when I found some that I liked (why is it that my keys are always in the last place I look? because I stop looking!) .
As I said, they can take some fiddling but are well worth the time/effort.
Add OpenVswitch (NICs for which are supported by Virtualbox VM guests) to the mix for a distributed switch fabric and a VirtualBox based "Vcenter" becomes very doable. Yes, you DO have to roll it yourself, unlike VMware, but...
Just like Vcenter, shared storage is necessary for moving running VMs for host to host.
Other than VMware, Virtualbox has the most pre-rolled "stuff". KVM CAN XEN do all of this stuff, but there is a lot more that has to be done for integration.
All of that said, I've also found that when importing an OVA into Virtualbox, low level details of the guest DO get changed. Nothing huge, but some things DO check for those details and do various unpleasant things when they don't match. I haven't found any I can't change back, if I know what they are.
I have to disagree... I've seen VMware products do a lot of nasty things, even in environments with high end paid support. The answers from VMW TAC were, to say the least, very unsatisfactory (destroy the VM and start over, it does that sometimes).
I use Virtualbox a lot. No, the polish of VMware isn't there, but ya know, there is NOTHING VMware/VSphere does that I can't do with Virtualbox... If I don't mind fiddling around with it for a while. Sometimes I mind. Other times, not so much.
I don't work in healthcare IT, but I DO work in IT and have for nearly 40 years.
There is now and has been an old saying in the field... The work isn't over until the paperwork is done.
How is this different from the medical field? I know, I know... "but people die if..."
The number of doctors IS limited (and "doctoring" person hours available)... By medical associations (practicing doctors themselves) limiting the number of medical school openings. So we get the complaint that they only have so much time to interact with patients.
Wait... We have a "guild" whose member don't have "enough time" to do the whole job. And an artificial shortage of guild practitioners.
Looks like a problem in queuing theory to me... With a nasty ramp up problem.
And people still die if we don't have enough "doctoring hours" to do the job needed.
while the requirements MAY be complex (they often aren't) misrepresentation IS the core issue.
If the "complex requirements" result in a product that is not salable without misrepresentation or terms that require extensive legal review... Perhaps the problem lies there, not with the consumers outrage.
In olden times, before people worked for others... Guess what? There was no paid time off. If you stopped working the fields or in your shop... You got nothing.
The internet has re-created the pre-industrialized world.
and the muck rakers were bringing monopoly after monopoly down, one realized they would not be able to stand against that onslaught. So they made a deal.
They sold a tale of of noble, self sacrificing service for the public good in return for guaranteed return on investment and a legally sanctioned monopoly. To an extent, they even lived up to the story and they were wildly profitable.
I give you The American Telephone &Telegraph Company.
The consortium named in the article aren't offering as much as AT&T did... But the officials are far more corrupt than they were in that long ago time.
I can show you "serial" ports that run at Gig+ speeds on routers. Serial ports aren't the bottleneck.
The "network" interface those connections use is related to PPPoE. Nothing new got invented for data connections on the cellular network. You don't even want to know how data was handled on the AMPS network ( '86 and after ).
See... Those farmers/"makers" processed raw materials into stuff and sold their stuff to people who did things with them and they were called "factors".
Then they were gathered into FACTORIES where they processed those same raw materials.
I often sneer at academics, but the level of academics has declined so far that's no fun anymore.
Obviously you don't work for a living. I've worked IT for over 30 years, for companies, very large and very small. Often IT does suck, especially when ideas are done thoughtlessly, just as this knee jerk initiative from Mozilla is.

IT/automation can only do so much.
Like it or not, it's called accountability.
People with heavy debt and wealth (medical professionals as an example) are the among the first to call on "the system" to hold others to account.
What's happening now, is the system now can and does now hold them accountable... And they don't like it one little bit!
When we ask for justice... It's usually meant for others to be brought to justice, granting relief to us.
It's a knife that cuts both ways though and we always think it's unfair when it cuts our direction.
Maybe it's time to look for something other than "justice", eh?
picky picky picky :)
It's the short sellers!!!!!
Or has medium become one giant "huh uh!!!" Like a warehouse full of two year olds.
I don't see solutions there.
Just hollering "that doesn't/won't work" and a whole bunch of scolding.
Someone could have walked in and robbed you blind.
They didn't, but they could have.
Can I be like Linus when I grow up?

Is as a raw device with something like OpenWRT or other customized firmware

Those command are how USB tethering works
Yes, it pretends to be a modem/serial port. Oh well.
The USB gadget interface is odd at best.
A little etymology.

I expect better of NYT.
Nope. Not until courts recognize email as a legal immutable document
>> Ideally ditching faxes all together would be great, just can't be done yet. To many still use them to send data.
And the legal system, at least in the US, officially recognizes faxes as legal documents
Is how something like Hylafax or regular old fax machine reacts to these "malformed" fax images.
What this sounds like, is that the printer makers got sloppy in the image rendering end of things and this is some kind of buffer overflow.
No... They wouldn't do THAT.
They're the foreman, and there is no shop steward to make 'em knock it off.
You don't have to use the time tracker... and ya don't have to be paid by them either.

Ham handed is the kindest thing I can say about this.
