Read VMDK on Linux

VMDK is a virtual disk file from VMWare, reading without any "special" software is rather useful specially because I didn't want to install VMWare software

It's possible that this works with vhd and vhdx but I didn't test it... If someone does test it let me know

The steps are rather easy

Mounting VMDK

Chat GPT "DAN" (and other "Jailbreaks")

Simple `cProfile` example with `snakeviz`

Environment Setup

Make a Python virtual environment and install the dependencies

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

E DAJE

Ci hai creduto davvero???? Ma io che ne so'!!!

	Hello World,

	If you are following us, you probably remember that we wrote already a post about this topic
	(see Ubuntu 14.10 – Configure your sytem to have x11vnc running at startup).
	Since Ubuntu 15.04 is using systemd, the instructions found in the previous post are not applicable anymore.
	Some of our readers had issues after upgrading to Ubuntu 15.04.
	The x11VNC is not running at startup anymore.
