Since I installed ProxMox on my HP Microserver I’ve been meaning to build an isolated lab network rather than having vulnerable VMs in my main environment. My Microserver has two physical interfaces so my plan was to split one of the ports on my router off onto its own VLAN and bind my lab VMs to […]
I recently bought a HP Microserver Gen8 with the intention of installing Proxmox and expanding my virtual lab environment. In my setup, Proxmox is installed and boots from the internal Micro-SD card reader, with 4 2TB spinning disks (actually 3x2TB & 1X3TB, due to a shipping error in my favour!) to hold the virtual machines.

Abstract Like other modern game consoles, the Nintendo Wii provides users with a powerful networked device capable of performing many of the tasks carried out by a conventional desktop […]
