I was never a coffee fan, was recently in Australia for two weeks. Love the Aussie coffee, still looking for a comparable coffee experience here in US.

If you're in a GCCH cloud, be aware of this very important gotcha before your CMMC auditors come in and start running scripts:

The Linux comic humorously shows and explains how the Linux command "top" works. It displays running processes sorted by CPU usage. The penguins represent these processes, with the larger ones indicating higher resource consumption.

Why can't I just keep a Microsoft 365 Developer subscription. I would like to keep this for my homelab. Why does Microsoft make it so difficult to keep a 365 developer subscription.

Looks like after 2 years they are finally shutting down my developer subscription.

Server 2025 Evaluation Rearm Count Deploy from Template (VMware) | Paul Arquette

Setting up Server 2025 as a template in your homelab without killing the 1 rearm Microsoft provided you with the VMware customization process.

2006 is calling, in the way we used to sysprep and shutdown systems.

Looks like Server 2025, will only let you re-arm once, so you have 180 days x 2, plus the 10 day grace period. You basically get 1 year with the OS.
