I guess we should be thanking UK tax payers for Star Wars?

“Migration wasn't easy. Beeks runs proprietary software that it had tied to VMware APIs, and that had to be rebuilt to interface with OpenNebula.”
Yes, VMware is sticky… but where there is a will, there is a way.

Probably an unpopular opinion if you live in the Bay Area… but I’m thinking more money should be invested in supporting people who want to relocate. “Build more affordable housing” has been the mantra for years and it’s just not happening.
