You're welcome!
@molly0xfff How much did they cost?
@paco Fair point. I have admittedly zero hands-on Xen experience, which could very well be *the* deciding factor.
As an aside, I think some people have strong opinions about how Proxmox handles HA by-comparison.
@paco SATA or SAS drives? If the latter, that's a pretty resilient and performant local storage solution, and not 'immature' at all. I might be more worried about disaster recovery depending on how that looks.
I also think the point @unixorn makes about distinguising between storage location of virtual system disks versus non-system disks is important.
Next questions would be about what kind of non-system disk data specifically, you think you could be storing more effectively and why. Not to mention thorough benchmarking of current local storage to even coherently compare to non-local options. Otherwise a storage network for the sake of a storage network is just that.
@codinghorror That's Luddite talk.
@paco I agree that refresh rate and frame rate are interchangeable in the context of an LCD or an OLED panel displaying a digital signal, but that convention is the former expressed in hertz. And the concept of 'scaling' is conventionally limited to the context of resolution (i.e., number of pixels)—whereas modern LCD and OLED panels are designed to artificially accomplish 'variable' (not up- nor downscaled) refresh rates.
@codinghorror 100% legitimate call-out, and I was never challenging that point. Merely that 'pick poison or off-grid' is a false dichotomy. Not all technology is metaphorical poison—and 'off-grid' has its own technology needs in almost-2026.
I mean shit, I've spent the last decade trying to settle on Proxmox or bhyve while the now-outdated hardware gathers dust (that it can't even serve everything I currently rely on other people's servers for notwithstanding). Not sure if 'de-clouding' is even a reasonable pursuit anymore.
@codinghorror I guess it turns on whether all 'technology' could be reasonably construed as metaphorically poisonous. But then again human-made fire and the invention of agriculture were once, technically, technological advancements...
@codinghorror Hah, false dichotomy. But I take your point (and wish I could).
