That’s incredible. Excellent work!

I did it for a while and last everything. Go for it if your have adequate backups.

Depends on if those companies invest in renewables or not. Optimistically, they will need to pivot in the next 60 years or so. I expect that the military need for oil won’t go anywhere anytime soon, but there is regulation coming into play to limit automotive oil reliance. Maybe not in the US, but elsewhere.

Yes.

Warhammer 40k has a huge sci-fi universe. Lore has been building since the 80s with hundreds of books. I enjoy them, but I’m not particularly well read.

Jacinda was the one.

Who’s that one prime minister from NZ?

Definitely the best thought out plan I’ve seen yet. Solid.

It’s really difficult to move away from a backup software you just switched to and paid > 100k to license for the next 3 years from a leadership standpoint haha. PBS, zfs snapshots and send, Ceph duplication. It all does more or less the same thing.

Nope, certainly seems to be a broad issue. Surprised that Disney would switch. I suppose the savings is there though.

I have experience with Azure IaaS, but am certainly no expert. Managed like 5 VMs max. Great with PowerShell. Wrote a script for all of our on prem servers backed up to blob storage to recover to Azure in case of natural disaster. Fun project.

This is probably where my shop will end up. Sticking with it and dealing with the higher price.

Like 30 servers and 150ish VMs. Not a huge deployment.

I use KVM personally and have experience with hyperv too. I’m not really averse to anything.

I think the penny dropped when layoffs were announced and channel partners were cut off.

I’m kind of in the same boat. Mid sized with enough cash to deal with the new status quo.

Broadcom acquired VMware and has a reputation for making good value products into poor value product in the industry. They seem to be doing just that.

I feel like Broadcom is aiming for cloud-like pricing for on prem services with none of the other benefits inherent to an Azure or AWS deployment. Not exactly the way to hold onto clients.

I’m familiar with proxmox and the broader KVM ecosystem. I’m also a huge fan of Veeam, who have said they’re exploring support for proxmox. Shouldn’t be too difficult to implement, given they have a RHEL backup product already.

Exciting stuff.

No Reddit. Only Lemmy.

OP did post to unpopular opinion and is surprised that his opinion is unpopular.
