Maaaaan, nostalgia is a hell of a drug! I know I don’t need the exact model of 486SX/25 Packard Bell desktop I had as a kid….but my heart says otherwise!

Hey all, I'm going to bail on the live show tonight. I"ve come down with a head cold and I'm feeling, frankly, like garbage. I apologize for the short notice!

Is the UniFi EFG Worth the Premium Price?
Is the UniFi EFG Worth the Premium Price? YouTube video by 2GuysTek

Is the UniFi Enterprise Fortress Gateway really worth over 2Γ— the cost of the UDM Pro Max? I put both gateways into the same production network and ran real throughput testing and uncovered some interesting results! youtu.be/BvZWUHGZqMk

Maybe it’s time for a little cable management, don’t you think?

Setting Up MicroCloud at Home is Easier Than You Think!
Setting Up MicroCloud at Home is Easier Than You Think! YouTube video by 2GuysTek

I built a full private cloud in my homelab using #Canonical #MicroCloud. LXD + MicroCeph + MicroOVN in one stack. Honest review: setup, scaling, UI, and deploying instances. If you want an easier alternative to OpenStack/K8s, this is worth a look. youtu.be/Pna4QINqo_Y #homelab #ubuntu #privatecloud

Am I a TRAITOR to pfSense?! The Switch to UniFi UDM Pro Max! YouTube video by 2GuysTek

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

No live show tonight! 😭

Due to a schedule conflict this afternoon, the live show won't be happening. But! I will still be doing the after-show starting at ~6:30 in Discord! Sorry for the short notice, we'll be back next week for sure!

I had hoped for more spontaneous cooperation between groups to take down the big robots. So far this just feels like Tarkov with robots.

Building the β€˜Good VMware’: The new Scale Computing with Jeff Ready
Building the β€˜Good VMware’: The new Scale Computing with Jeff Ready YouTube video by 2GuysTek

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.

New Chapter in Choice: Dell PowerStore Coming to Nutanix | Dell Discover how Dell PowerStore integrates with Nutanix Cloud Platform to deliver unmatched flexibility, performance, and scalability. Learn about this game-changing collaboration today!

Dell announced PowerStore support in Nutanix. I expected this would happen as Nutanix opens up more 3-tier storage providers (Pure Storage being the first*). That said, Dell wasn't who I had on my bingo card next for support, but either way - this is great news!

It's Saturday! What #homelab projects are you working on? Me? I'm trying to get HPE Morpheus actually figured out...It's...challenging.

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!

Tell me about! I’m thinking about taking a release break until all of this blows over.

It's been nearly a year since my video on VergeIO's virtualization platform, #VergeOS. A lot has changed in a year, and I've been curious to see how things have been going for Verge, what's new in their platform, and where the #homelab version of VergeOS is! youtu.be/0zWnI5GCjEc
