    I wouldn't be surprised. Apple could've sold their work to Ferrari to recoup some of the investment, and Ferrari made off with all the EV research they'd been missing for years. Sounds like a win-win for both companies if that was the case.

    All I'm saying is the BMW i3 (2014-2019) design is making a comeback, and I couldn't be happier. It looks like a Nissan leaf and an i3 had a baby with Apple.

    I think classic "Car guys" will hate it, but it's a "forward looking" car for the next generation who have nostalgia for the early 2000/2010's. Ferrari still sells cars for those with nostalgia for the 80's, but this one will be gen alpha's nostalgia bait. It was built for millennials and gen Z - those with money as the previous generation passes the torch. I think most of the hate, understandably, comes from the previous generation of car enthusiasts. Ferrari is banking on the future, regardless of how controversial it might be right now.

    If you're willing to DIY it, MrCool DIY have been rock solid for me. Standard warning for DIY-ing electrical work, but the HVAC install part is pretty hard to mess up with those.

    Ford will always be Ford, so I expect some weird issues, but heavy tinkering is worth it for the right $/kWH price ;)

    I'll be posting plenty of "I broke everything and patched it back up - here's how to not do what I did" :)

    I was pure ESXi for a long time, but VMware's enshittification pushed me to Proxmox, then Xen because I prefer its management style (and I like to make my life difficult for some reason). XCP-ng hosts are controlled by a totally independent "orchestra" VM, and ironically, I run that on Proxmox to prevent everything being broken when I break the XCP-ng cluster.

    For one host, Proxmox is better and has more community support. ESXi is similar to Proxmox in terms of interacting with the host. XCP-ng, while you can interact with the host, you're really intended to control it through Xen Orchestra. I use it since you can have any number of hosts within the orchestra appliance and they all are controlled through the same management plane.

    Funnily enough I was thinking of going the other direction - XCP-ng under Proxmox. My "Home Server" is running Proxmox, but my "Host things for other people servers" are running in an XCP-ng cluster. Have you had any issues with nested virtualization?

    I for one can't wait to add more kWH of LiFePo4 batteries to my home storage.

    Got invited to Tildes tangentially through a server hosting project but realized this space might be outside the standard tech echo-chambers (techo-chambers?). Am I the only XCP-ng/Xen user in a sea of Proxmox/KVM? Any odd homelab setups to share?
