  • We are an enterprise manufacturing company. We have lots of hosts on process networks not connected to the internet. Seems like the subscription license won’t be compatible, so we plan to seriously look at Proxmox for those in the coming years as we replace hosts.

    For our datacenter, we decided to move everything to Azure. This decision was in the works before the license change, but the acquisition by Broadcom and their track record certainly played a part in the conversation.

    For our site hosts, we are looking into Azure HCI or possibly Hyper-V, especially since these sites don’t have many VM’s and don’t need features offered by VMware.

    If you’re an Azure expert and are looking for a new job, send me a message. We’re hiring.








  • Terny has the correct answer here OP. While I have never used Docker in an enterprise environment (manufacturing applications aren’t known for supporting any technology from the last decade at least), I have used Docker extensively in my home lab. You don’t want to modify the container itself, but the image it was created from. The data doesn’t reside in the container itself anyway, but typically a volume attached to the container (assuming it stores anything in the first place). Your best bet will be to figure out what image the container was created from, and modify the image. From there, you can update the existing containers to use the new image, or move them elsewhere if you like.

    You mentioned these VM’s are in the cloud. Depending on the hyperscaler, it is likely that you could migrate these to a native container service to save on cost since you wouldn’t have to pay for the overhead of a VM.




  • I have been getting my beans from Fellow Drops for about a year or so now. I haven’t had a single bad bag from them, and I am always getting to try new things. Their bags can be a bit more pricey, but so far I would say it is worth the price.

    My two favorite bags I’ve gotten from them so far have been from Onyx. Their stuff is expensive, but damn is it good.


  • Hey, we all start somewhere! I ordered mine from keyhive and made the mistake of ordering the DIY version. I usually like to do things myself, but had a hell of a time soldering the SMD diodes on. I would recommend the partially assembled version. Keyhive also lists the other parts you will need. If you order the partially assembled version, you will only need a microcontroller, switches, and caps for a complete keyboard! Keyhive also lists the microcontrollers you can use. Personally, I love the nice!nano. It ads BLE and the battery lasts for quite a while. You will need to solder the microcontroller, but it’s easy to do assuming you have an iron. Let me know if you have more questions!
