So this message just came in:

Dustin, we heard you work/volunteer for StarWind. This means you can never mention them again.

Um go fuck yourself, if I did do that I would expect to be paid.

wtf said that?

Two guesses, name rhymes with "gave head" but starts with the letter D.

Obsolesce

Wait, you aren't allowed to mention StarWind anymore at ? Because you work there? Which - like you said - isn't true?

Apparently now I work for StarWind which @KOOLER I want all of that back pay you owe me! (obviously I'm kidding) I wish I worked for StarWind probably a great place to work for. . .

Which of course is complete bullshit as I have never worked for or volunteered for StarWind

@StorageNinja I can totally agree with you that powershell ain't pretty compared to say Xen Orchestra. But you have to agree that in terms of functionality everything is "there" with Hyper-V.

Nothing is restricted behind a pay-per-feature license etc. as like with ESXi or even Citrix XenServer.

Quite a few things require Windows Server Datacenter licensing... not necessarily all Hyper-V functionality like VM Shielding , but also things that pair with it such as S2D, storage replica, etc.

Not part of Hyper-V, though. That's like saying that Veeam or VSAN aren't licensed with ESXi. They aren't, but that's not what people complain about.

@StorageNinja and I were discussing the functionality differences between Hyper-V and other hypervisors. His big complaint at the time is the lack of an HTML5 command center for Hyper-V where ESXi, Xen Server (through XOA) and KVM all have this.

It's certainly a shortcoming of the ecosystem.

Even with the shortcoming it does have Project Honolulu which is an HTML5 management platform. Which I can only assume would not meet the requirements of a complete hypervisor environment based on what StorageNinja has went on a tyrant about on

Tried something 2 months ago and I don't regret it: Bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 w/ 4GB RAM / 64GB flash for 160 EUR.

I had a lot smartphones in the past, so-called flagships from Sony, Samsung and HTC. I really liked Sony and HTC, but the Xiaomi is actually the best phone I owned until today, by far. Alu unibody, decent FHD display, features a fast mid-range octacore, fingerprint reader, and what not. The cam isn't the best, but to be honest, every smartphone cam sucks compared to my DSLR Given the price, it wins against any EUR 600+ flagship, IMHO.

Oh, I didn't mention the battery, which lasts for up to 3-5 days, depending on usage. Approx. 4 days for me with everything turned on: Bluetooth, WiFi, 4G, GPS, 2 hours of BT earphone playback per day. And the usual Google Maps, Netflix, Youtube, Browsing, ML, etc.
