After years of running #pfsense, I finally did the unthinkable… I switched. In this video, I walk you through my entire thought process. From defining my network requirements, to comparing the #Netgate 8200 and the #Ubiquiti #UniFi UDM Pro Max, and finally making the move. youtu.be/qG-Borg0wAY

When Acumera announced it was acquiring Scale Computing, it was big news, especially in the wake of #Broadcom’s acquisition of #VMware and the ensuing changes they made. I reached out to Jeff Ready, President and CMO, to get the scoop on the new company.

Interesting issue today: Ubuntu's security/patching servers are offline, which means you can't install #Ubuntu if you have an active network connection on the VM/system since it tries to download updates as part of the install.
The answer: Disconnect the NIC, and your install completes from the CD!

One year ago, I ditched VMware and went all-in on a 45Drives Proxinator VM16 running Proxmox. It runs everything now—my business, homelab, media.
One year later: How did it hold up? What do I think of it now?

What brands, products, or technologies are you really into right now? Hardware, software, tools, services — if it’s caught your attention, I want to know about it.
I’m building a list and want to make sure it reflects what you care about.
