  • Unlike VMWare, paying for support from Proxmox will likely get you answers. Hell, they fix problems for unsubscribed users in a pretty timely manner.

    I fought with VMware for years to get bugs fixed or even acknowledged, it eventually drove me out of the space because they were pretty much the only solution for inhouse virtualization and they did. not. give. a. fuck. about SMB.

    I’d take a community/supported hypervisor long before a VMware ever again. I’ve never felt frustrated trying to get something FOSS fixed like I have with companies like VMware and Microsoft.


  • Running on Debian is pretty close to immutable, as long as you don’t do anything silly with the underlying OS besides run Vanilla proxmox. Reinstalling Proxmox and restore /etc/pve is as hard as it gets, and if you get really fancy you can install the PBS client right on the nodes and back them up fully to the same place you backup the guests.

    I’ve used Proxmox for years now (used to mod the reddit /r/proxmox sub along with Jim Salter) and I would be comfortable running it in enterprise in anger. As a former VCP, I appreciate the transparency of Proxmox, and like you say, it’s really just an amalgamation of standard services with a nice front end and a bunch of automation in the background that you can tear into if you need to.

    And Proxmox Backup Server is everything I ever wanted in a backup system for it, I’d put it head to head with Veeam and other VMWare solutions.

    That was pretty thin on details.

    I’ve had a Fire 8 for a while now that I bought because it was cheap as hell, thinking I could subvert it to the side of good. To an extent I guess I did, but I’d still rather use an old android 4.1 7" that doesn’t have a lock screen I can’t get rid of, so I have one less swipe to read for a few minutes when I wake up in the middle of the night.

    I wish I could make it work like that one, but so far no go. And you can’t get rid of some of the Amazon bullshit, so there’s that. It just feels like its sitting there waiting to fuck me over somehow so I don’t bother.




  • I make the assumption people are using the password managers like they should, which is generating unique, complex passwords, which is kinda the point. Once you hit a certain number of characters on a random password, you might as well not try. And passkeys don’t solve any sort of MFA problem, same as passwords.

    And tell me something, do you realize how cunty you come off when you end a comment with “lol”?


  • Just. Use. A. Fucking. Password. Manager.

    It isn’t hard. People act like getting users to remember one password isn’t how it’s done already anyway. At least TFAing a password manager is way fucking easier than hoping every service they log into with “password123” has it’s own TFA. And since nearly every site uses shit TFA like a text or email message, it’s even better since they can use a Yubikey very easily instead.

    Passkeys are a solution looking for a problem that hasn’t been solved already, and doing it badly.
