More infrastructure upgrades:



NUC8i5, quad core + HT, 64GB RAM, 1TB NVME storage. I chose the NUC8 rather than the NUC10 because the NUC8 i5 is faster then then NUC10 i5 and the i7 models are expensive. It runs ESXi 7.0.

This will replace a steadily growing zoo of small appliances: piHole, smart home, Ubiquity controller and other related internal stuff. Virtualization gives me more flexibility to experiment and upgrade safely.

I may eventually virtualize my pfSense router and internet facing WWW/FTP sites which currently run from dedicated appliances.
