Hmmm... woke up this morning and asked Siri to turn on a couple of lights when I went downstairs & nothing happened (accessories unresponsive).

Turned them on via their switches like a cave man.

Tried to log into my Homebridge VM but the login page wasn't coming up, so tried to log into Proxmox but its login page wasn't coming up either.  Also unable to ping the proxmox IP or SSH into it.

Went to the basement & was able to log into the NUC with a keyboard & monitor attached but not able to ping out of the box.  Type in "reboot" & the screen clears but nothing seems to be happening (patience before caffeine is low).

(This is when the cat meows at me reminding me that I haven't fed him yet)

Yank the power & the machine boots back up to the login prompt.

Everything seems to be back up & working.  Hopefully this is just a fluke, not sure what kind of logging Proxmox comes with, but something I'll dive into after work & when I'm more awake.

Never had a hang or crash under ESXi.
