@scottalanmiller Great, but can you explain the syntax of the command?
trim anything accept characters 11, 12, or 40-176. The acceptable character ranges.

I know @Oksana is here, maybe she can give some input.
That's just a marketing account most people block.
I've been out drinking with Oksana.
@CCWTech Even if you can do a live migration, you would rarely want to. That means that any change to one system has to be synced to the other and there is no way to replicate the RAM between the systems. They can't both be running at the same time. So the old one has to run until everything is done, then you have downtime as you cut over. You can't do anything seamless between disparate platforms.
The problem with having systems running is that you need storage monitoring that hooks into the storage subsystem and intercepts all storage calls including cache and replicates those changes as it happens. Rarely something you'd want during a migration. It CAN add many, many hours to the process.
Of course, if going to ESXi, one assumes uptime or reliability aren't priorities. So maybe a long, slow process is okay.
@gjacobse I just got back from working in Belize!
Working with Postfix and got some hidden characters that were killing my file. So hard to find. But here is how you do it. In this example it is for the vmail_mailbox file, but this applies to just anything.
tr -cd '\11\12\40-\176' < vmail_mailbox > vmail_mailbox_clean

USGS reporting earthquake centered near New York City rattles much of Northeast.
Possible felt by 42mil people
So that, it's crazy. It's also amazing how much such a tiny quake impacts NYC. We get those weekly and no one notices.

Ok and Restart the computer.
This removes a warning that does not mean what it claims to mean. It is a bad warning that end users should normally not see as it is false and confusing.
Meta is full down here, except for WhatsApp. But Google is chugging along just fine. One has datacenters in the region, the other I assume does not.

@scottalanmiller They aren't down here in the states as far as I can tell.
Downdetector shows everything in the US down. I just heard that AT&T is under attack. It's the US backbone having issues, apparently.
This is the 2nd time in the past few weeks that AT&T has had major issues of some kind in the US. First the cellular service issues, and now their backbone.
Shows how dependent Facebook / Meta is on that one ISP.

Nice, going to use it for photography?

Why is HAProxy on the host? I would always put it on its own VM and keep the host isolated as the host. If you put HAProxy on it, it's now functioning as one of the worker VMs, but also the host. While this works fine, in theory, it's extra complicated and violates fundamentals design principals for virtualization. The host, in theory, is expected to be completely limited to host functions. But also handling one random workload.

Youtube is working here, but Downdetector is showing every major service down.
Here in Nicaragua the Meta services are down. Don't know if it is regional or global.
@CCWTech said in Broadcom Acquired VMware: Does KVM Have a Chance?:
@Oksana You couldn't pay me enough to use VMware. KVM is the industry standard and has been for years. And VMware with the recent announcement to kill their free offerings is now just a sinking ship.
And it isn't like when it was free, it was worth it. It was laughable what a bad product it was for free. Paying for it is totally insane.

@Oksana Does KVM have a chance? It's the only game in town. VMware is such a backwater of out of date, out of touch, "why would anyone use this" tech. If you use KVM, then you use VMware, it's like going from living in a beach front mansion to a caveman's cave where they are still pooping in a dark corner in the back.
VMware has been dead tech for years. It's so antiquated like they think it is the 2005 era.
XCP-ng is picking up a ton of customers as well, since there is a support model behind it.
Yeah, two great (and free) solutions on the market, and VMware that is costly and requires so much overhead to manage and maintain. It's such a disaster.
Broadcom just cancelled the free version of ESXi as well, so any small customer shops are just going to migrate, they have too.
Yeah, it REALLY makes Vmware so much less relevant, in a space where it struggled so hard to show value before!
