Yeah that checks out.
VMware's business model under Broadcom is "legally and ethically flawed,"...
The report also laments Broadcom's "highly litigious approach to partners and customers,"...
A good reason why you should use opensource software as much as possible for these kind of functionalities.

Outstanding! Nguyen Hoang Thach of STARLabs SG used a single integer overflow to exploit #VMware ESXi - a first in #Pwn2Own history. He earns $150,000 and 15 Master of Pwn points. #P2OBerlin

Wow. Broadcom just eliminated support for VMware perpetual licenses. Apparently you can't install future patches or they might audit you.

Broadcom says it may audit VMware users.
Actually I need a solution that runs on Linux too as I’ll be moving this machine off Win11 at some point :/
Edit: #PCem is on Linux but on this laptop I may struggle to run a P166 
#VMware is apparently available on #Linux and others have said that it’s more stable, but I don’t know what the driver situation is like; every VM vendor has abandoned 9x support 
— my #Win95 VM uses the #VirtualBox 6.0 drivers as those were the last to support 9x
#ProxLB - an opensource & advanced VM loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters. Including affinity & anti-affinity rules, maintenance mode (evacuating nodes) and more. I just published my slides about it.

What do you miss in #Proxmox or #XCPng?
My customers often told me, that when migrating from #VMware based setups, they would miss something like #DRS. As a result I published #ProxLB as a load balancer. Now, I do the same for #DPM and also some other things. What do you miss or what stops you or your business from switching to Proxmox or XCPng?

ProxLB 1.0.7 (an opensource DRS alike solution for #Proxmox clusters) is just around the corner!
1.0.7 will be the last version before I'm going to publish the new refactored code base in a modern and object oriented way. Version 1.1.0 squashes some more bugs that were postponed on the current code base and makes the overall future handling much easier (including new features).
