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.

Always better to use DuckDuckGo, Startpage or even Bing. Google searches have been horrible for awhile. It’s a good idea to use multiple at times, when you have time, compare the results side by side on a laptop or desktop, it can be staggering.

If you are not a religious environmentalist, your use of plastic is not a sin.

Clearly they are no longer just a neutral platform. They are now a publisher that makes editorial decisions.

Everyone libeled or defamed on YouTube can now sue Google instead of some random content creator. Google has extremely deep pockets. Lawyers are going to cash in.

There's little need to listen to politicians or care what they say.

So illness only happens to people because you have political disagreements.

Nothing will ever be good enough for zealots.

Hmm. Maybe it's just a virus and not some sort of sorcery from teh evil orange enemy then. Should we skip the ritual denunciation of people who are not like us? We can still wear the ritual masks and engage in the ritual washing.

Is France a blue state or a red state?

Political finger-pointing. Trying to exploit tragedy for political gain. Isn't that always the plan?

It's not a competition.

Compare Europe versus US: https://www.statista.com/chart...

Someone is always "doing better" until they're doing worse.

The French should never have elected Trump president of France.

Either that or it's just a super-contagious virus and humans can only be pushed to isolate from each other for so long until we don't always succeed at it any more. And cold weather forces us indoors and leads to spreading the virus. And lack of Vitamin-D from less sun exposure makes us more vulnerable.

But I'm pretty sure Trump is President of France.

Understand that the only fact in the article is that Google pays Apple to be the default search on iPhone. You probably already knew that.

The problem is Google's control of the ad business leads to a situation where no one can have a comparable offering for search and for video content creators. Everyone else gets cents for every dollar Google gets.

The solution is to force the Google monopoly to either divest the advertising business or to offer everyone else the same access to sell and implement advertising on Google platforms as Google has. On exactly the same terms.

They can do their own thing or be a monopoly, but not both.

(And no, the extremely tired arguments about the technical definition of a monopoly do not matter at all. You're not convincing anyone. You're just making noise.)

Ungrateful ignorant Britons! Why can't they learn to love edicts imposed by distant rulers?
