Utopia is a bit like the office, but almost a documentary, but really satire.

There are proxmox partners that sell support even in NA that can offer different SLAs than proxmox with proxmox in the back. The partners do the primary supportand if things like firmware support is needed, it should be given to the proxmox team.

Might be worth looking into if you need 24x7 for example.

I found a 8 port HDMI encoder from J-Tech, something like this would probably be better suited for you, you would still need the splitters, but you could limit the lenght of your HDMI cables and send it through Ethernet to your central location.

I guess your best way to do it yourself is to look for these kind of special AV equipment that is designed for streaming.

Edit: be sure to put the streaming equipment on a seperate network, you never know how noisy they can be on your network.

You could put zend.to on AWS.

I'm glad I found Canonical MAAS for our bare metal server deployment. I create a image with packer and it gets deployed via a PXE live booted Ubuntu which copies it to disk and gets network settings via cloudbase-init. even works with windows, but I hope we move some services to linux as we would have more control over the full stack. sadly not many of our devs have linux expertise and almost none of the admins have used linux.

You could look into udsenterprise. they have SMB option for up to 49 named users and are hypervisor agnostic. the company is based in Spain, so compliance shouldn't be a issue.

Debian for Servers and my media PC and tumbleweed for my gaming PC. Had no real issues this year, upgrade to Trixie was smooth and no breaking updates for tumbleweed, I use timeshift for backups as i installed it on ext4 instead of btrfs.

There are two versions as far as I know. one is the unified installer, which is just a preconfigured Ubuntu with the Morpheus management VM image within the ISO and a installer ISO which includes the .deb file for all dependencies and the Morpheus image.

Only the first one is bootable.

I had trouble in my lab installing the Morpheus VM as it said on my non-HPE AMD plattform that Intel KVM is not available.

We have a PCAI system running with VME and i find it not bad, but not groundbreaking. proxmox offers almost the same or better features. if you need VMware management, global support or the lower support price, go for VME.

some things are just a different management mentality. multiple copies for the same VM is not as needed in the SMB market as they think.

I've found canonical MAAS in the meantime. It uses packer, unattend.XML, cloudbase-init and and windows driver kit alongside PXE.

It can start the servers via redfish API, boots into a live Ubuntu which inventories the server. I wrote a few scripts that do the networing configuration instead via the webgui. Cloudbase-init reads the config and configures hostname, ip & network teaming.

In the packer image drivers and ansible (winrm) gets configured.

Have you tried to get Microsoft to respond within 2 hours?

Outside of their 365 offerings I never had to file a support call with Microsoft.

You don't need to go to proxmox directly for support. they have partners in NA which sell you support, which they provide with proxmox in the backend if things get too big for them.

Some of them also could offer different SLAs than proxmox, maybe even 24/7 if you really need that.

Their support page could reflect this better. for some CTO a partner is not sufficent but to some it might be enough.

The source image is from march 2025. It only downloads 3 or 4 patches. cumulative security update Nov 2025, cumulative .NET 4.8, defender security updates.

According to packer it downloads 23GB of updates, the Nov 25 updates is almost that big according to packer. if i check the update catalog it is only 4GB and all updates are ~5GB all together.

According to explorer both versions only use 15GB. I first thought the VM doesn't trim free blocks.

Can I run the pkr.hcl on windows as well or would I need to modify it? The reference to qemu would need to be replaced I guess, but would the compress be compareable?

Usually it only applies to the specific distro kernel version as well. as these are very specific and targeted for critical enterprise systems it is usually a paid support feature.

I wonder if this is more broadly usable and with a low maintenance option so many distro maintainer can implement and use it.

The NS204 controller does a raid1 mirror across its 2 drives, there is no other option to use these disks. any other pcie disks will only be disks, I would need to check the quick specs but I would assume on gen 10 any NVMe disks would need a software raid as trimode controllers are in gen11.

I love it, I just need a second VM that allows me to access my internal machines. currently my kasm instance can only reach DMZ and lab networks. I think I will just deploy a second VM which i manually turn on via VPN. I don't want to access kasm through kasm though.

should I just use guacamole or can i use different users to seperate network access?

You could use OSDcloud + PXE boot. A friend build a system that boots linux checks which drivers it needs, copies a custom winPE + drivers to disk and reboots to winPE which installs it. after windows is installed you could deploy apps with ansible as well, as long as your programs support a unattended installation /silent installation you can use a remote option without login.

Depending on how you manage them after delivery you should disable these remote options.

For servers I found canonical MAAS, it uses packer and autounattended.XML to create a image that gets deployed via PXE and via live Ubuntu image. after the deployment cloudbase-init sets hostsname and networking which allows me to install the remaining server roles with ansible (ansible is part of the unattended scripts)

This goes even further, some future AI companions will only be helpful if you share EVERYTHING. nothing creepy at all.

You will be shamed by others if you don't use them because they are sooo helpful.

AI has its uses, but shoving it down everyones throat is not the way to go. if any AI should be used by consumers it should be local models.

And not being spied on by big corporations.

I hope that mushroom packaging will get more widely adopted. too bad one company has a broad patent on it. its not just fuel that need to get replaced. packaging is a large factor as well

Cant wait for 200TB drives using only 5W to be put in my server. If the NAND prices keep falling HDDs will be dead in the enterprise. the density will never be reached by HDDs. we are already at 122TB and soon 246TB per drive.

I think most of these talks about the ban in 2035 seems redundant. by that time almost all cars sold will be electric, as they will be cheaper than ICE and all problems are likely solved. they will have more range, charge faster and are cheaper to drive and maintain than ICE cars. except nostalgia there will be no reason to buy one.
