Name on forehead.

You forgot profit sharing and bonuses for the C-suite only, then it’s carved up and the pension plan is raped to death.

I want to stay with my wife-beating husband, but could you tell him to take the thrashings down a notch?

You couldn’t pay me to use anything Oracle provided. Back when I did IT consulting, if a customer started using anything from Oracle, I would drop them. It was never worth the trouble to deal with their backstabbing, finger-pointing and incompetence.

On a post-it note stuck to the monitor.

I’d have thought they’d be selling solar-powered flashlights.

I was getting at an old Stephen Colbert interview meme from TDS which was asking a questions and giving the answer he wanted to see in the second part of the question.

“Who was the greatest president and why was it Ronald Reagan?”

And why is it Oracle?

I like this new file format.

Displayport is pretty versatile. You can get an active DP hub and split DP into more independent screens if your GPU will support the total resolution.

Ceph is also quite tightly integrated on Proxmox for smaller deployments.

Except “AIDS” was the only version of Vista there ever was.

Been tinkering with c-boot systems, using the u-core container template to build OCI images automatically for a base server build.

Of course I realize that. But Debian is perfectly fine as a base for proxmox because of its stability, and if you aren’t doing silly things like installing docker on the host, its not going to be an issue.

Unlike VMWare, paying for support from Proxmox will likely get you answers. Hell, they fix problems for unsubscribed users in a pretty timely manner.

I fought with VMware for years to get bugs fixed or even acknowledged, it eventually drove me out of the space because they were pretty much the only solution for inhouse virtualization and they did. not. give. a. fuck. about SMB.

I’d take a community/supported hypervisor long before a VMware ever again. I’ve never felt frustrated trying to get something FOSS fixed like I have with companies like VMware and Microsoft.

Running on Debian is pretty close to immutable, as long as you don’t do anything silly with the underlying OS besides run Vanilla proxmox. Reinstalling Proxmox and restore /etc/pve is as hard as it gets, and if you get really fancy you can install the PBS client right on the nodes and back them up fully to the same place you backup the guests.

I’ve used Proxmox for years now (used to mod the reddit /r/proxmox sub along with Jim Salter) and I would be comfortable running it in enterprise in anger. As a former VCP, I appreciate the transparency of Proxmox, and like you say, it’s really just an amalgamation of standard services with a nice front end and a bunch of automation in the background that you can tear into if you need to.

And Proxmox Backup Server is everything I ever wanted in a backup system for it, I’d put it head to head with Veeam and other VMWare solutions.

PBS is an excellent backup solution. I wouldn’t let the lack of Veeam support on Proxmox hold you back.

Virtualbox is painfully non-performant compared to anything KVM based.

I never see this, maybe because I’m using the Alexandrite UI?
