NUCs are nice but most of them have mobile CPUs in which limits their usefulness. Being able to put up with something slightly larger and grabbing a Dell/HP/Lenovo SFF system (OptiPlex Micro, ProDesk Mini, ThinkCentre Tiny) off eBay that is only 8 months old despite being sold for second-user prices, and has a warranty left and a desktop CPU in is a good way to go.

SSDs are so cheap now that I'd probably just stick a couple of low end 512GB disks in RAID1 and boot vSphere off that. Used to mess around with the mirrored SD cards in Dell boxes but the write speeds got painful sometimes.

VMware are discontinuing support for running the hypervisor from only SD cards and USB sticks. You'll need good local disk as well, at which point the SD card adds no value. https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2021/09/esxi-7-boot-media-consideration-vmware-technical-guidance.html Thanks Ants fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Oct 4, 2021 |

Didn't they buy Brocade as well and pretty much do nothing with them RIP the SilkWorm, the finest named FC switch the world ever had. Thanks Ants fucked around with this message at 15:32 on May 24, 2022 |

They break it in the same way Microsoft broke virtualising the Windows client OS in VDI deployments - never sell a suitable license to permit deploying in that way, and launch your own service in Azure.

WSL does some very weird networking which means IPv6 doesn't work out of the box, it's annoying and it would be nice to just have the WSL instance grab another address when it's opened.

Didn't the HTML5 console start off as a fling? Can't have that sort of initiative being freely taken any more I suppose.

I presume there's a point where it makes sense to employ a few XGP-ng experts who can also contribute to the codebase rather than to keep paying out for VMware licensing, do larger companies run the numbers on this and have a point planned for making the change, or do they just consider VMware a sunk cost and keep paying it?

Microsoft 100% do not have the ability to take advantage of this and make a vCenter equivalent that doesn't make you want to pull your hair out, and license it sensibly.

I would move to a competitor every time even if it didn't save any money compared to sticking with the supplier that just hiked their costs, purely out of spite

I've been on the receiving end of companies employed to do an audit as a box-ticking exercise to be able to obtain cyber insurance or bid for certain contracts, and it's a world of difference compared to actual security companies getting an understanding of the business and seeing their role as one of collaboration to improve security posture. The big four consulting firms taking fresh graduates and sending them off with a laptop are awful.

Skimming the documentation suggests that multiple auth sources means configuring them as different realms, and those are presented in a dropdown on the login page.
