@npub1qw7…q0ue Not in prod, have a test environment with 3 hypervisors and it's been pretty good. I don't have the spare kit to do Proxmox so will tear it all down and rebuild. Some concepts in XCP-NG are not intuitive. The Orchestra method is very similar to VMWare in that it's just another VM on the hypervisor.

My car is repairable. No frame damage. Huge hit in a small area which I thought would have buckled the unibody. The shockwave broke the interior trunk liner. It will however be a while due to large number of parts and the ongoing CDK outage. Had the wheel and transfer case been dinged it would have pushed it over the underwriter's number. As it happens it did not even lose alignment. So lucky.

British Airtours 5390 had a window blowout because of improper fasteners being used, it almost caused the commander to be pulled out the window.
