Computers

I've made my living over the past 30+ years in the computer industry and have picked up a few things along the way. I currently support the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance and all of its capabilities. Prior to this I supported the Oracle Solaris Cluster product and it's predecessors (HA/PDB).

My personal desktop is currently a Debian sid install running KDE. I use this for working remotely and do a fair amount of virtualization using Oracle VirtualBox. I have found it is able to handle all releases of Solaris which is important to my job functions.

My desktop hardware is a custom build using an Asus ROG STRIX X570-I paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU and 64GB of RAM installed to a NVME Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB. I find this rig is capable of running most any virtualized environment that I need.

I also use a MacBook on occasion so this section will include tidbits from Linux, MacOS, Solaris, and VirtualBox.
