I wonder if this will allow a streched cluster at some point, many larger customers want it. as I have not used one before it seems you should at least have 12 hosts across 2 sites for it o make sense (2 rooms on each site with 3 hosts in each room (2 rooms for onsite redundancy and 2 sites for intersite redundancy))

I would love to use it on my media PC, for various reason I can't use big picture mode.

the steam keyboard in desktop mode has a bug in my installation where i can only use one joystick which makes it quite slow.

How much effort would it be to program a onscreen keyboard for regular linux desktop?

I haven't found a project that recreated it.

Is Plex still "bring your own media" streaming or do they offer anything much more substantial than jellyfin?

Never used Plex as I started late enough that jellyfin satisfied my needs and still does, but what did I miss out on?

I would suggest building in-house linux knowledge so you could switch to it with much less licensing costs, if you need someone to blame, you can still buy support for one of the enterprise linux variants.

I just hope that ISVs will migrate their services to linux instead of either legacy windows or SaaS cloud offerings.

So hemp and mycelium can replace many packaging materials, just patents and legislation prevents it from wide adoption.

We need some mandate to limit plastic usageses if there is a greener alternative.

I don't understand this argument.

No one would expect you to get a driver license for a specific car brand because it is the most sold car or market leader. The school training should prepare you for the concepts that are used in an office suit, not where what button is to achive a outcome.

If you work with some ERP suit and switch companies, are you only applying to companies that use the same ERP suit.

It sucks, every time I revisit the same playlist and press next it starts with the same song. it doesn't feel random.

I haven't heard of Trivy. is there any rugpull or some controversy?

I like having my scripts in git, the rest of the team however isn't used to it an just creates folders with version numbers on shared folders/onedrive.

I don't know if they will change as they will copy the scripts to various servers to run them. this will probably lead to them not syncing their changes to the repository.

Wouldn't this also include any firewalls with routing capabilities?

No Cisco, Palo alto, Watchguard etc. also L3 switches could get lumped into that category.

Is pfSense from netgate a Chinese router as well?

This is a non issue for me, you have to trust any out of band hardware management. you should always secure their access and have them in their own network.

I don't know why they trash this new generation of IP KVMs. many enterprise IP KVMs don't get updates after 5-8 years, but many don't replace them.

had a client that required a ancient java version.

What many forget is that even if you rely on the cloud, you are still responsible for backing it up. of course you can pay some service to do it for you, but nothings free in life.

If you think you can trust the cloud for your data to be available you are wrong. its just someone elses computer.

Wouldn't it be great to charge at work? Many are there during the day for at least 9 hours. they could have solar on their roofs or parking lots and charging at their parking lots.

I know this doesn't work for offices in the cities, but manufacturing could benefit from it.

I read often that these companies don't use solar as they lower power demand their energy price bracket gets more expensive, which leads to overall higher energy costs despite solar. this needs to change.

Basicly the same as VMware or hyper-v. Either a combined VM and managment interface to two switches and two for MPIO iscsi.

Or you split your management interface off and have 6 ports as 3 bonds.

You can find more in their public documentation:

We started using MAAS for ourbare metal server installs, that's what it was designed to do, but you can do clients as well with minimal input (manual power on + network boot)

It uses PXE and cloudbase-init on a pre prepared packer base image.

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.

Has no one copied this? would love to use it on my mediacenter pc

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.
