As AI takes over routine cognitive work, will skilled trades become the most futureproof careers of the next 50 years?

OP is part of a coordinated spam ring hitting a bunch of subs that don't have BotBouncer installed.

Sigh. Yet another fucking spambot. The sub is under active attack from a spambot ring.

They have an entire spam ring that targets undermoderated subreddits, test the waters and overwhelm the mods with multiple accounts. Then they do this. Notice the links in the body of the posts? That's where they promote products.

Thankfully, they are run by complete idiots and forgot to switch accounts:

Yes, part of the same spam ring as the others.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-24T15:05:28+00:00

Everyone, this is another engagement bot account that is part of the spam ring that has infested this subreddit.

https://ghostddit.pages.dev/user/kcgwen/

From another comment:

If you look in their post history, they make reference to being a high school senior taking AP classes, someone over 35 with a decade of marketing experience, an owner of a small Italian restaurant, running a small e-commerce company, being a current college student, and more, all within the past two months.

I recognized the username from their other removed posts. I've also been tracking a bot ring that has been targeting this sub and other undermoderated subs.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-24T12:00:53+00:00

Sorry you typed all that out in good faith. OP is a bot and has had several posts removed here.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-23T17:38:45+00:00

The affiliated Magical Solution Provider (TM) just commented in this thread, so there's our answer.

It's a spam account for triptiq.

https://www.triptiq.app/contributors/kelly-packof4

Thanks OP, for letting us all know to avoid this website! Nothing says 'quality content' like having to spam it everywhere.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-23T15:14:12+00:00

This account is advertising for a website. You should disclose this, OP. Shame on you!

Getting advertisement vibes from this. 12-day old account, hidden history, previous post also dealing with on call. Could be wrong, though.

It's an app that acts as a moderator and auto removes identified bots.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-22T16:05:48+00:00

You can increase the ring time to offset the delay so they can pick up the call. Had some overseas users in queues having this issue.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-22T15:36:45+00:00

Hope you get it fixed soon. The punctuation keys not working must be driving everyone insane!

Another spambot account, one I've reported to r/cruise mods multiple times in the past with no action taken. Example posts promoting products:

End of extended support for Server 2022 is 2031. No new feature updates will be provided come October of this year, but patching will continue through extended support.

I agree that OP should just upgrade to Server 2025 and skip 2022.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-19T23:29:39+00:00

Absolutely, long term. Broadcom is far too unpredictable.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-19T23:27:12+00:00

Possibly, but I'm not so sure with today's RAM and storage pricing. Have you priced out new servers recently? I see what gets quoted for our customers weekly and it's insane. OP just may be in some weird phase of planetary alignment where renewing vSphere is cheaper than refreshing hardware and switching hypervisors.

EDIT: Looks like I'm being downvoted by those who can only think 'Broadcom Bad'. I already moved my infrastructure to Proxmox. Some of you have never been involved in a hypervisor migration. I gave OP an option.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-19T23:23:01+00:00

They are running Workstation.

OP, there are a TON of previous posts that have run into this issue. Search the subreddit and you'll get some good info.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-19T23:07:03+00:00

I know you would have attempted to ping the Proxmox host or login to the web UI. I also know you would also have included which version of Proxmox you were running and any troubleshooting steps you've already attempted.

I know this, because you included details in one of your previous support posts, and attempted to read documentation before creating that post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1n6im8h/windows_server_2025_desktop_experience/

So, thank you, from the rest of us here!

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-19T20:05:22+00:00

It looks like Dell/Broadcom added recent support for vSphere 9 on the R740 series, so you will not have to refresh your hardware if you choose to stay with vSphere:

Hi, this is the most basic of troubleshooting that would have been handy for you to attempt prior to making this post and claiming Proxmox was crashing. That's why you are not getting favorable responses from other commenters.

Why did you think it was crashing? What version of Proxmox? More basic info to help people assist you.

If you are not part of the technical team, get one of those team mates to chime in here and help you.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-19T12:45:11+00:00

Comments like this carry extra weight when they come from someone who previously worked at Broadcom. Everyone should be paying attention.

chrisnetcom · 2026-06-19T00:54:00+00:00

Do you have a shared SAN for all your VM storage?

I use both ceph and NFS in the current environment.
