The basic premise of helping to stop horizontal attacks is wonderful. Last year we reviewed this as an option. In a test, it implemented well enough, but the PW was not truly encrypted. This can be better explained here:

Nebraska - I have 100/20 for $80 + $50 for unlimited downloads, I average 1.8 TB, the extra .8 would cost me $80 if I paid for it per 100 Gig

Lucky enough to have 1Gig Fiber for $39 in Arlington Tx

I spun up MC for home based on advice gained here. Based on the results, we now use it at work. It has been solid in both environments. My personal one sits in Vulr on a Linux VM @$5/mo and has about 80 devices on it currently.
It just works.

saw a report on the cold weather you're having up there. it doesn't look very pleasant, hope you're all doing ok.

In Ohio it's just another winter day for us. Texas and other southern states are just not prepared for this sort of weather, because it really doesn't make sense for them when this sort of thing happens so infrequently.

@siringo How's your summer going?

It's not THAT infrequent, that's the thing. Every apartment building uses that excuse, but this is like the fifth time we've had an event that causes buildings to get destroyed by not being built correctly. That's every two to three years!

WHile this cold snap was severe, it's not THAT severe. It's only the fourth worst in 150 years, very far from a record. It's bad, but not unexpected. And with climate change, that weather will be more dynamic and severe is expected. So this is absolutely anything but a surprise.

This week in TX reminds me of a normal February growing up. You shoveled out, and went to school. Of course, back then we had to walk up hill in both directions.

When we hit temps like this, my body reminds me why it has been so happy at these more southern latitudes.

Unlike many in this area, we have been lucky. No power issues and plenty of food.

@Danp, got me started

That's kind of a watered down solution don't you think?

Many moons ago (when most screens were still monochrome) I wrote an ERP for a manufacturing company. It was built from the ground up to meet their needs. It was extended to include barcode scanning and some other enhancements that were not considered initially. Long story short, this solution is still in use today decades later. Did it take a lot longer to work it from the ground up? Hell ya. If a framework like Dynamics existed, it would have saved a lot of Dev time. We would have been quicker to market using a framework. Would it have been better? More reliable? I'll vote for more troublesome using a generic platform like Dynamics.
Given how long it has been used with only minor enhancements, their TCO is awesome. Is it the right answer for everyone? Obviously not. However, it should always be part of the conversation.

It works quite well - especially for the cost.
For our company's onsite ones, I even have a cheap POE add-on card, so I can restart the Pi if it fully hangs up (rare). Obviously this does not work for your use case.

A joke or not, once "Disneyfied" it will lose some luster.

Interesting that BackBlaze is now integrated with Vultr. No egress fees. This may prove useful

@Dashrender
Facts don't matter nearly as much today. It is more about the loudest voice.

When you drill into some of the solutions out there, some are just black boxes that give you a result. However, what was missed? In these cases, you don't get an audit trail on anything other than what was identified.

I have this on my whiteboard:
"That's the way we have always done it is NEVER the right answer"

When I first peeked at Proxmox, it must have been about 7 years ago. It was not ready for primetime. I just started dipping my toes back in that pool in a homelab

Bitwarden for home, and Dashlane at work currently

So, will these be give-a-ways at the next MangoCon? It is not an all-inclusive device, as it will require a carrier board of some type. For somethings this may be ideal.

Learning GCP management. Starting on Terraform tomorrow

@gjacobse It is not compatible. There was another project out there that was ARM compatible. I think it fizzled or was bought by Google several years ago now. Sigh

I used Starwind for several years. It was solid and effective for the Hyper-V clusters it was implemented on
