I was gonna ask you to describe what a sys-admin does, but you kinda started already; so you manage the VMs [and I assume containers/production services] both cloud on on the ground??? What does a sys-admin do week to week??

I have a bit of a home network rocking right here @ the 2oFB home - I have honed several skills and always wonder how far away I am from 'sys-admin'.

Reality Check is one of the Sync boards that 'feels right'. I like your use of ANSi and IBM fonts and the tight theming that you have going on; also, not ALL Sync boards have a matrix login - its unique... yer an old OS/2 guy, eh??? I used it in between DOS and *going back to Desqview* - I know, I know; you'd prolly kill me for going BACK to DV!!

Ooops - quoted a bit too much; slyedit don't let me erase! Thanks for sharing yer homelab; I am IN LOVE w/ Proxmox! I also am a fan of Proxmox Backup Server... have you played around with clustering yet? We might have been talking about that @ 2o...
