Much earlier (date not recorded) - (version not recorded)
- I had used this a little bit in the past. I did not take notes.

Before this, I used VMWare
Usage and troubleshooting ∞
TODO - Proxy support ∞
TODO - Perhaps it was added at some point; re-check
there isn't any
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11567
Proxies which require a username and passport are not supported; so basically proxies aren't supported at all.
TODO - Booting a virtual machine with a real life USB stick ∞
https://www.thepcinsider.com/how-to-boot-usb-drive-virtualbox-windows/
I get an error:
Failed to open the disk image file (path) Could not find the file for the medium '(path)' (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) Result Code: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)
.. the file is fucking there.
Maybe the best bet is to use Ventoy and it's Linux vDisk Boot Plugin. Then I can still have a bootable USB stick and access that via booting from another Linux, running VirtualBox and opening that .vmdk; but it's so dumb.
TODO - Accessing a raw partition ∞
Just to note this; I don't need the feature.

I tried it again, and it doesn't work. I'm giving up without troubleshooting.
I got it all up and running perfectly, in seamless mode too, and multiple monitor support is working great.
I seem to have mostly-fixed audio stuttering issues.
A guest edition CD cannot be used if the automount options are wrong.
The freezing issue appears to be unsolved. Maybe it has to do with some system/CPU settings.
alt+tab is an unsolved annoyance.
VLC audio sync is still an issue under some circumstances. I'll keep an eye on this problem.
I'm still troubleshooting intermittent audio issues. I can reproduce one, but boy is it being a pain in the ass to untangle.
I finally resolved the shutdown kernel panic issue.
Found a workaround to two of the annoying sound issues.
Fixed the YouTube problem. Probably.
Maybe actually found a workaround to a still-unfixed YouTube issue.
YouTube play problems appear to be solved by using the keyboard instead of the mouse.
This stupid audio hiccup is really pissing me off.
