I was a VMware admin. I drank the freakin koolaid. Got the certs. I was planning on a career as an architect. Did ok.

Then Broadcom. Fukers.

My boss said screw em, we go Proxmox. So now I live and breathe Proxmox.
PVE is a heap of janky hax, so you gotta get expert real fast.
PBS is cutting edge software that breaks twice a week, so ya gotta get expert real fast.
And now I'm an expert. Especially at PBS. DR. Site-to-site. I can do that shit.

Now that I have this new skillset, where can I use it?
Who's using Proxmox?

Thank you so much. I was headed there. Doc caught me 2 years ago, gave me the big warning. Cut back the booze, dropped 50 pounds, started eating fiber. Now I'm just a stress case, but a darn healthy one.
I'm not scrambling to get a different job. I'm well paid, and good luck finding someone to do my job, so the boss takes some crap back from me. Plus, I don't think we can do more layoffs and stay in biz. But the ceo does make bold architecture decisions.

Lemmy is awesome. I act like a jerk and meet people regardless.
Well met, friend.
