Hi Poindexter,

 On Monday April 24 2023, Poindexter Fortran said to Avon:

That was such a great write up. It tells the story of how well virtulation
can help everyone. My homelab server is a Xeon(R) CPU E31240 @ 3.30GHz, with
32gb of ram. It's still on ESXi, with one vm having hardware passthrough.

The server has a total of 7 vm's running, 24/7.
