Today, I'm grateful for #ZFS. I'm grateful that taking snapshots of #bhyve VMs is so easy.

I attempted an update of a #Debian VM from 12 to 13, but I realized a piece of software I need doesn't support Debian 13 just yet (I suspect it will relatively soon.)

I had thought to power the VM off, take a snapshot of it, and then attempt the update.

It wasn't until after the update completed (successfully) that I realized the issue with the third-party software.

I just powered the VM down and reverted back to the snapshot.

It's as if nothing ever happened.

I know, it's a simple feature. Most other virtualization solutions also provide snapshotting. It's just nice that it's integrated into my host OS.
