COVID-19 Update
Blog post may slow down a bit as support work ramps up a bit. I will keep this site running as long as I still have a job and can pay my bills. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay isolated. We can do this.
This site is an update to my old site. Some highlights:
This site:
1) Runs on a VM! (More redundant storage)
2) Updated to the latest n greatest WordPress.
3) Easy dynamic content.
Old Site is completely gone as of recently. A recent power outage caused the router hosting the site to stop mounting the USB it resided on. I haven’t yet been able or bothered (haha) to recover it.
1) Runs on a Router.
2) Old firmware, but reliable (well it’s still running, the site contents USB failed).
3) Static Content, self coded.
This new site is under construction as of Jan 8, 2018.

Careful Cloning ESXi Hosts
I’ll keep this post short. I was doing some ESXi host deployments in my home lab, and I noticed that when I would install on a 120GB SSD, the install would go smoothly, but I wasn’t able to use any of the storage as a Datastore. However, if I took a fresh install copy of …
