I hadnt seen that yet - yeah agree, big mistake. I'm thinking that the concerpt of OS virtualisation is declining as well, so be interesting to see what they do to keep it alive. (Keeping it alive via home admins would have been a smart move - for little cost I would have thought.)

I'm running some old stuff at home. I'm a fan of ESXi, since everything I play with is headless - and ESXi gives me that web interface. Its pretty reliable - I've been running stuff this year for 20+ years...

I've never played with Proxmox (never needed to as I always found a way to get ESXi installed) - but maybe I should...
