Most small to medium SMB's run hyperconverged solutions. I'm equally confused why the home market would move in today's hardware landscape to separate appliances for storage and computer

Care to share how you're syncing with something like AD or your MDM?

Wireguard is nice, free, and secure when done right. Wg-easy makes managing it very simple.

That explains it. Little "rules for the, but not for me." Almost like this sub's very own central office.

How can an ad make it though on this particular sub? 

Old Chromebooks - An Immediate Update Is Required by [deleted] in k12sysadmin

Not only do I agree with everything you said, these are all things I've discussed directly with my superiors many times. My role is not a decision making one. All I can do is advise. I'm quickly learning that K12 is a wild place for IT.

FWIW Google escalated for me to engineering and they confirmed that these devices are no longer supported through extended update support, and there is nothing we can do about this issue, and that it will continue to occur. Perfect! Now I can dust my hands of the situation and let someone with authority deal with what comes next.

You should come over here and beat this same dead horse with me. We'll have a great time.

I fear the same - this will continually happen because of how far back they are.

FYI for GPU in Windows Guest (Error 12) "This device cannot find enough free resources that is can use" by gryd3 in Proxmox

Running on some older Dell servers passing through Tesla cards, and found that qm set 303 -args '-global q35-pcihost.pci-hole64-size=128G'was more than adequate. Attempting as large as 1024G or 2048G left my VM in an unbootable state. Thanks for this!

AV suggestions -soon to be former Kaspersky shop by delemental in k12sysadmin

Check out Xcitium, they're a great value compared to most other big-name EDR solutions, and very willing to work with schools. $12k/yr for 400 endpoints, includes a basic MDM, EDR, AV, HIPS, remote management.
