A UPS Battery that lasts forever?
I had a chance to check out a Goldenmate UPS unit that was sent over for testing. This battery is marketed as a 10-year UPS! That is pretty incredible compared to most of the standard UPS units you can buy today that need a battery replacement every 3-4 years. Could this be a forever UPS battery that never needs replacing? Check out the video and see my thoughts on this possibility for the home lab and home office.

Proxmox Memory Hack you need to know! #tech #proxmox #optane #microserver #memoryusage #sysadmin
When it comes to performance, Swap space is generally considered a negative. When you start swapping to disk, performance usually suffers. However, if you running a RAM starved home lab host and maybe you are physically maxed out in the RAM you can install such as with today's SODIMM modules, using ultra-fast storage for swap space can actually be an advantage. I tested Intel Optane storage as swap space for a Proxmox host with only 48 GB of memory and the results were really amazing in terms of performance and the "feel" of the box, even with RAM maxed completely out.
