I made this! It's a plugin for Proxmox that integrates MooseFS and MooseFS Pro seamlessly into Proxmox, allowing you to run VMs that live entirely on Moose.

It's VERY rough, but I'm so excited to have made something cool.

Here's my intro! 🙋🏼

I'm Benjamin, or "Wings" as my friends sometimes call me. I work on Estuary.tech by day, various other open source stuff by night. I plan to post about philosophy, code 💻, geeky stuff, homelabbing 🧪 (LOTS of homelabbing) and general humour. Oh, and the occasional shitpost. Hello!

we’re trying to bring social media back closer to how the web itself works. make social accounts more like websites or blogs. you can’t control if someone goes and puts up a blog, but you can remove them from your RSS feed. labels necessary because interaction model of modern social is more complex
