7MS #622: Migrating from vCenter to Proxmox - Part 1
Sadly, the Broadcom acquisition of VMWare has hit 7MinSec hard – we love running ESXi on our NUCs, but ESXi free is no longer available. To add insult to injury, our vCenter lab at OVHcloud HQ got a huge price gouge (due to license cost increase; not OVH's fault). Now we're exploring Proxmox as an alternative hypervisor, so we're using today's episode to kick off a series about the joys and pains of this migration process.

Today we're talking about tips to deal with stress and anxiety: It sounds basic, but take breaks – and take them in a different place (don't just stay in the office and do more screen/doom-scrolling) I've never gotten to a place in my workload where I go "Ahhh, all caught up!" so I should stop striving to hit that invisible goal. Chiropractic and back massages have done wonders for the tightness in my neck and shoulders For me, video games where you punch and kick things relieves stress as well (including a specific game that's definitely not for kids!)

Today we talk about some things that have helped us out in recent pentests: When using Farmer to create "trap" files that coerce authentication, I've found way better results using Windows Search Connectors (.searchConnector-ms) files This matrix of "can I relay this to that" has been super helpful, especially early in engagements
