Everything is configured through an Ansible inventory file. All the VMs are deployed in the first through Terraform from templates - which I also create in a fully automatic way :-)

This took me a lot of work and time over the last few weeks... #Terraform #Ansible #Proxmox #Virtualiation #IaaC

Ansible rocks!!! I'm now deploying and configuring my *whole* VM infrastructure with a single Ansible playbook. It creates a Windows DC, joins Windows VMs into the domain, installs SQL Server 2025 RC1, and also installs SQL Server and PostgreSQL on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, RHEL 9.6/10.0).

From a NAS perspective, I've fallen today in love with the Minisforum N5 Pro Desktop NAS unit, because I could install Proxmox on it, and also use it as a NAS with a ZFS file system: minisforumpc.eu/products/min...

Planning some additional 10Gbit upgrades in my Home network - mostly for a new NAS. I have already 10Gbit in the server rack itself, but I also need it on my MacBook Air and my Windows/Linux workstation.

@paulbraren.bsky.social I have seen your video www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrnE... about the E200-8D. I have the same server since 2017, and I'm just wondering which power cable you have used to provide power to the SSD? Thanks!
Supermicro SYS-E300-8D and E200-8D SuperServers weighed, measured, 2.5" Micron M510DC SSD installed.

Whereas VMCache improve pointer swizzing's complexity by removing the swizzling, this work points out that page and frame hints are highly effective, and okay if they're wrong.

Linux is pretty good, actually.

Also, big opportunity for companies to start making their official Linux versions of popular software, if they don't have it already.

I have a dual-boot Linux/Windows system, but I‘m really satisfied with the Linux desktop experience. And everything just worked!

Thinking about buying the Miniforum MS-A2 workstation for my Home Lab. This would be a very nice replacement for my Super Micro E200-8D machine - and also a very portable option...

The other option would be the brand-new MS-S1 MAX...

Wow - it seems that Microsoft uses Microsoft Teams data (your spoken words!) for AI:
