I don’t prefer proxmox, but I will say that when you have even a machine with 8 or 16gb RAM, virtualizing a workload on it just makes sense. At that point the cost is 12% resources, and the benefits IMHO farrr outweight that.

The best kanban is the one you already have. It’s like “the best camera is the one you have with you” – Annie Lennox, I think.

For me, that’s gitlab on-prem.

Help/Advices

Sure! ‘advice’ isn’t pluralized with an S. It’s like ‘traffic’; and you don’t say ‘traffics’ as a noun.

Happy to help!

Now go see ReactOS.

We ship a single dependency-free binary that runs on all Linux distributions

It’s like 20 years of security awareness vanished in an instant.

MFW I get downvotes for repeating what used to be considered Enterprise support before the dotcom bust. Sorry to be the voice of the past.

The gist of rfc1178 is

• don’t name them incomprehensible shit
• don’t name them indistinguishable shit
• don’t name them unpronounceable shit
• don’t name them after their ephemeral purpose (less an issue now since it’s one service per cattle member)

I worked at a shop where it was all ussfllb02 (a Linux load balancer in San Fran) and ukloesto12 (an emc array in London) and that’s how they went all over the globe for like 15 DCs.

But then it got hard to keep the numbers straight, and we’d patch boxb10 instead of 01 or something, and the very real issue where humans can’t keep abstract glyphs in their head for too long became a problem.

I’ll do RedTruck and GreenBoat every time.

When I needed them, Crucial bent over backwards for a single sale.

I’ve given them 100% of my business since for any solid-state stuff.

I’m just one internet dood but please include them in your list of candidates. They have several tiers of speed and resilience, and I’d love to see them get more business.

softwares

That noun never gets an s at the end. It’s like ‘mail’ and ‘traffic’.

I’m working with an OS with a 26-year support window.

LTS is 10 years. Support the one that RH/Rocky toss into the next release. Anything less than 8 years requires air-quotes around the ‘L’.

I’m not sure if you noticed this, but Matrix is newer. And, as Barney Stinson will tell you, “Newer is always hotter”.

STD: Shiny Things Disease.

They’ll find something newer soon. And, if it uses some loose install method with performance or security concerns but installs with a negligent curl|sh, they’ll be all over it.

Are you writing your resume? Same answer.

teamspeak but i doubt that it is FOSS

Nope. You may want to consider Mumble.

the ansible playbook

No thanks. I get paid to do that at work, and that’s where that hot garbage will stay.

as mentioned in the other comment, this entire thing is sketchy as hell – from cryptobros to the ghetto install that would get a first-year laughed at, it’s just bad. It’s bad from bad by bad.

Be wary.

They got bought. They started to suck.

Now they’ve been 'sploited, they’re overpriced, and they still schlepp the same bad software.

The first two things I saw:

• docker seems to be required
• the download page seems to require javascript

Too much neu hype. Done.

SSD? Crucial.

They officially supported a non-standard setup I had, and they were totally there for me in a jam. Spinning rust I’ll go other names, but SSD is crucial-first. I don’t even care the cost.

I’m moving to oVirt.

Proxmox was out and oVirt was an excellent fit.

Choose carefully ; don’t just go with the herd.

+1 for check_mk.

It’s got a scriptable config file that begs for automation like mgmtConfig and it does SNMP. For me, that’s it. SNMP->MQTT->SNMP next year.
