    Balatro - The super addictive Poker roguelike

    🚨Be warned!!🚨 If this game ends up scratching an itch for you, it may take over your life for a bit like crack cocaine. It's REALLY addictive and easy to say "just one more run man..." You've been warned. 😉

    Looking for input on what a fun driving game today is?

    +1 for Forza Horizon Need for Speed Heat is pretty good as far as NFS games go these days Dirt 2.0 is still an excellent rally racer (and VR) Project Cars 2 is awesome in its own right - especially when you factor in all of the mods available (and VR)

    ESXi free 8.0 seems to be the last one (now available again) !

    Always run ESXi on supported hardware in production. For home lab have at it. You can still run ESXi as the hypervisor and use Nutanix for the HCI storage layer, this is supported, although I don't know why you would do this vs. vSAN as it is less expensive, simpler, and easily outperforms AOS...

    ESXi free 8.0 seems to be the last one (now available again) !

    By the way, there is a LOT of incorrect information floating around - if you have any questions and want to know the truth from someone who actually works for VMware, I'm happy to help. I can (and do) also take what is being said in the community back to the business so that they can adapt as...

    ESXi free 8.0 seems to be the last one (now available again) !

    VMware SA here. Best bet for home lab is VMUG Advantage, about $180 a year for the full VCF/EUC stack for non-prod use. VCF only has a hard requirement to deploy vSAN for the SDDCM Management domain, workload domains can use external SAN or vSAN. Also, you don't have to deploy SDDCM - you can...

    ESXi free 8.0 seems to be the last one (now available again) !

    VMware SA here - ESXi licenses don't activate online.

    Anyone have experience with Supermicro H12SSL for EPYC CPU's?

    This is super cool to follow. I know you mentioned you switched to Proxmox as you felt like you weren't getting timely ESXi patches, but we release all ESXi patches to everyone regardless of support level. Yes, you have to login to Customer Connect, but anyone can download patches as soon as...

    Best GPU options for 3440x1440?

    Posted this in another thread as well. I run 7680x1440 across 3x 32" 144Hz. monitors. I personally have been on the fence about this for several weeks now, and just pulled the trigger on a 4080FE to replace my 2070S. Yes, I probably spent more than I should have, even though I got it at the...

    New GPU now or wait till year end

    I personally have been on the fence about this for several weeks now, and just pulled the trigger on a 4080FE to replace my 2070S. Yes, I probably spent more than I should have, even though I got it at the "list" price of $1,200. However, given where TSMC is located and the fact that China is...

    +1 for unloading the rack and moving components individually.

    Time for a HW Upgrade, What are real world performance differences?

    Can confirm that vSphere 6.7 will run on it - have three in my lab. I think moving to SSD, etc. only makes sense if you try and get dense on the host(s), where IOPs factor more than throughput. If you're just running a handful of VMs it's probably not worth investing into that box. If you do...

    MS SQL Server in VMware Cluster

    No longer the case. vSAN supports it natively as does FC storage for vmdk. See Vladan's post here: https://4sysops.com/archives/vmware-vsphere-7-clustered-vmdk/ Shared VMDK requirements: A fiber channel array only. The array must support ATS, SCSI-3 PR–type Write Exclusive–All Registrant...

    Alternatives to DFS for Server Duplication

    PeerGFS, formerly known as PeerSync, is a very robust solution that is worth considering. I have used it in the past to accomplish exactly what you are describing here: https://www.peersoftware.com/solutions/data-center-synchronization
