@zetasyanthis Yeah, they've gotten increasingly extortionist in their licensing practices in the past 10 years

@mawr I mean... I don't even know how they can not support it at this stage. Kinda crazy when the effort in something like Proxmox PVE (Debian based) is... I dunno, 3 lines in a config file?

@mawr It's like if they charged extra for AES-NI or something. I'm just like WTF.
