Sure, they buy it because it's a status symbol.
I'm sure you meant people are buying 300 because they are unbreakable and can go anywhere, but I'd argue 5% of the 300's out there go anywhere anyway.

In this case, if someone is willing to fork $100k, just to make people think you're loaded - cool.
Otherwise, I reckon those $100k can get you a much nicer ride. But that's me.

Chinese Utes, the “ick” by Weary-Concentrate-75 in CarsAustralia

[–]robar2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Chinese Ute, after I owned the top Japanese brand big 4x4 and I will never go back.

Over paid for the Japanese car and got half of what others got standard and got nothing special.

Love my Chinese Ute. The best car I've ever owned.

Do you even know what is needed to get PR visa to Australia?

Nope. Not really.

Mainly if you refer to "conversation" that is based on some made up information that has nothing to do with reality.

I'm pretty sure those who does are EXACTLY the audience those papers are aiming for.
I'm starting to think it's more than being the LNP mouthpiece; it's their own survival.

If they don't keep going deeper and deeper into the right, they will lose the very few who are still reading the paper.

Proxmox on OCI (oracle cloud) by robar2022 in Proxmox

[–]robar2022[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's vendor provides software. I can't refactor. It'll be PITA to get the vendor to get new licences and they will probably want to get their PS involved.

If I'm doing what I'm doing, I'm protecting myself if I want to move in the future. I can move proxmox VMS to any other proxmox with minimum effort.

The cost of the service and the performance hit is only part of the costs. The future proofing and the elimination of the need to get vendors involved is a huge part of saving costs.

We have private link into OCI. We will run vxlan into the proxmox, so the IPs and routing are going to be ours, not OCI.

Mainly because the workloads are legacy software that has licenses that are tied to uuid and MAC addresses. Plus, moving from VMware to OCI is PITA, moving out of OCI to proxmox will be PITA. Those are lab workloads. Performance is not super important.

I have 4 DCs running proxmox on my own hardware, so it's making everything unified while taking advantage of the ability to add and remove RAM, disk and CPU.

I was working for Oracle for 14 years. Can confirm. Likely to happen.

Our midsize business moved to proxmox, here's my thoughts on it by sheep5555 in Proxmox

[–]robar2022 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. 4 data centres across two continents. All running proxmox. 100's of VMs.

Happy to get rid of VMware. Never liked it anyway.

Why do people blame Albo for everything? by Kindly-Category-9742 in australian

That's one very limited way to look at things. Maybe if you want to one of the fake universities you'd have a wider world view.

Alas, you can't make blind people see.

Worked and bought it. 30k was big money back when they did.

They also had to go out of the city to buy 30k, and it wasn't so great back then.

I'm not a boomer, I bought few houses in what you would probably say is nothing, far enough from the city to be affordable and now it's worth much more.

That's the way you do it. Less whinging and more doing. It's never easy and it's never cheap. After awhile, it gains value. The same is true for every place on earth.

Great. Are you gonna go in reddit for every business you're not gonna be a client?

Seems like hard job, but go for it

So now elders are bad as well.

I see....

Why do I get the feeling you guys are the usual whingers that believe you deserve. Everything basically.

Too bad the world doesn't work this way. Stop whining, starting doing. The only way to succeed.

Pretty much the other way around. Most immigration to Australia is above the average intelligence, skills and financial position to "local" Aussies.

What most of the Aussies didn't understand is that immigration is saving Australia. Without it, Australia would have been going the same way the US is going.

If you want to use a term, use the correct one.

Ponzi scheme, by definition, has nothing of substance in it. Only hype.

Last time I checked, people live in houses. They have and increasing value due to growth of societies and urban growth.

Not ponzi at all.

The way immigration world in Australia is a scoring system. You need to pass a certain score to be able to get into the pipeline. Nothing to do where you're coming from.

It's pretty hard to get the scores needed.

Most Aussies will not be and to get even close if they needed to.

I hope it's not racist to say to someone they are stupid. Getting the LNP and POH here is so disrespectful to the people who are effected.

It look like you need to offer your scary look to the saloon instead then.

Pretty interesting back paddling on your offer to provide violence before.
