My management is dead set on getting off VMware as quickly as possible. I’ve spent a lot of the past year and a half setting up test labs and reporting on these potential replacements:

• oVirt and RHVC
• Nutanix
• scale
• Azure Stack HCI
• VX rail
• Harvester and Rancher
• A variety of qemu wrappers

None of us are very happy about it but it looks like Azure Stack HCI is the winner so far.

Anything with full grain leather and is resoleable. I have some Iron Rangers by Red Wings I’m happy with. I selected them because they were local to me.

I briefly used it. It connects you to all of your neighbors. It’s good for knowing what’s going on in your community.

Interesting. Thanks!

Thanks for your insight. I’ll check them out.

I believe I have been taking good care of these shoes. I keep them on cedar shoe trees. I wash them with saddle soap, conditioner them, and polish them about once a month. I just wear them a lot. The reason I think it’s time to replace the strand is because of a tiny hole. Feeling in behind there is about a dime sized area where the leather is very thin. I am continuing to wear these but I think a hole is inevitable at this point. A cobbler told me he could put a leather patch behind the hole but it wouldn’t likely last much longer even with that.

I believe these shoes have served me well. I’ve worn out the initial leather sole, plus two rubber soles. These have cost me about $85/year which is even cheaper then when I was buying the wallmart garbage shoes. They have looked great the whole time.

I have some suede seats in my car. They need to be cleaned. I see quite a few products on the market but I’m scared to try them.

I run Transmission on a VM that is permanently connected to a VPN. It dumps the completed files on an NFS share. I’m open to trying something different. Transmission seems like the best option.

I had the same experience. It took a whole summer of searching to find a company that would do it.

The first 4 HVAC companies I called told me the same thing. They said I had to have a back up natural gas or resistance based electric heater. They don’t know what they are talking about. My current heat pump can operate down to -30 C. The coldest it ever gets here is -16 C and that’s only for a few hours per year.

His videos and others like it inspired me to keep looking when when all the HVAC companies kept telling me it wasn’t possible.
