Damn, I had like 6 paragraphs, but it didn't save the Submit !!  So here's a short one.

XCP-NG can handle 4,000 VM's. It does have Enterprise scalability.

Watch a YT guy LawrenceSystems that turns out his business does backups for Netflix (was just authorized to say a few months ago). He puts $15,000 to $100,000 + servers together, talks Linux, TrueNAS (within XCP-NP), hacking, home automation and even Mini PC's. I've been watching long videos on XCP-NG and Proxmox for over a year and taken a few notes on Proxmox. XCP-NG is used by numerous companies in the Fortune 100. Used VMWare in the past (was great) but intrigued by how good Proxmox is for the Homelab or small business. XCP-NG is ready for primetime for big business.

It just really, really sucks that Broadcom didn't give people enough time to research to switch before the major up to 10x increase in some cases and getting rid of 52 (last I heard) SKU's.
However, we know that's what they wanted, put a g to people's head since some people can not switch that fast; banks, health care systems...
The CEO will make a lot of money while Broadcom as a company will suffer greatly if they don't change this within two years. 7 to 15 years it will severely impact their employees and the CEO and the people that joined him will be doing great but Broadcom will have lost Billions !!

XCP-NG made a migration tool for VMWare to make it seamless and they also have a way to test that it worked. Have to watch and rewatch and read up on that one though.

XCP-NG also allows Live VM migration while latest Proxmox does not. I'm sure in about 1 to 1.5 years or so they will, mainly because of all the VMWare people leaving.

I heard they make 90% of their money from very, very big companies. They don't even care about smaller companies. So if a few companies of 5k employees jumps ship then they'll be ok because the makup is so high. However, if a lot of them do, well that's another story.  AHols either way. I'm trying not to purchase anything with any Broadcom chips in it if I can help it, anything.

To bad there weren't some PC's compromised in Maricopa County Arizona. If so they should be sent over to that Sheriff Joe Arpaio and be on the chain gang for the whole 5 years. Yes I know it's voluntary (last I heard), but have a special one for some offenders. Or better yet have other states grow a backbone and have chain gangs set up in northern cold states in the US patching pot holes!!

Ok I've been watching Doomsday or Armageddon week on History. They actually said that "Global Warming" maybe due to earth's wobbling and we are close to the 13,000 or 26,000 year shift. We are really close to the farthest tilting angle (move 1 degree every 72 year). Showed the stars and stuff and got me thinking. What about having 2 times a year around 10 or 11pm at night (summer), 8 or 9pm (winter) to turn off as many lights as possible for 1/2 hour so people can see how many stars there really are.? Enough time to drive out enough of most cities since can't turn off all the lights. Maybe different dates in other parts of the country to pick the best dates for there viewing angles (if it matters). I was thinking the other night that once we had almost all cars driving on the road with LED headlamps (it will be many years). On highways we could just have the lights off. They would still have them if you break down, motion detectors or something else. If on a motorcycle maybe just have to push a button on it. Expensive to have all of this so wouldn't happen for a decade or so if they are already planning on updating to energy efficient stuff.

Use Tor and/or I2P. I2P's new website is http://www.i2p2.de/index this is also open source. I used it off and on for a couple years. I haven't for 9 months or so, but did clean install recently and planning on using it again. I just have to find another Firefox proxy instead of SwitchProxy since it interferes with my saved sessions in Tab Mix Plus's (use a lot). In response to GIFC's tools being infected. Use www.VirusTotal.com and scan it with them, they use many Anti-Virus vendors (I think that's what that anonymous user posted) and if Kaspersky and NOD32 don't show any problems then chances are it's safe.
