Scott Forestall was forced out over the Apple Maps Launch Fiasco and right after he departed we got iOS 8 APFS, Mac OS Sierra and all the issues that came with that.
They forced out all the engineers who cared about quality for brown nosing political shits who care more about pronouns and ideology like "agile" than they do good products.

Johnny Ive's departure was spun as a good thing, but the truth is, he probably couldn't stand the way the company was behaving anymore.

Apple's former airport engineers got sick of how the company was operating and formed Ubiquiti

Apple's former laptop hardware engineers formed the company Framework

Tim Cook isn't all that talented and he is running on the fumes of a CEO dead for 10 years now and the generic garbage that a chinese firm, Quanta Comptuer, produces for Apple.

Disclaimer: I in no way encourage the violation of Apple's sofware licences.
My instructions are hardware agnostic and therefore cannot be interpreted as an attempt to do so.

You will need: 
1. an intel or universal mac os Tiger installer, personally, I found great success with the 10.4.7 and 10.4.10 installers for various 2007 models.
2. efi32-srvr.rom, I'm not providing links, google it.
3. ESXi installed and unlocked with ESXi-Unlocker

Clover Wizard and Mactracker are great tools for figuring this stuff out in terms of what hardware and what OS versions are compatible,
most Tiger install disks apart from a few shipped with checks to see what model mac you're running and only install on "compatible" machines.

I've tried the following configuration on ESXi up to 6.5.0 Update 2 (Build 10719125)
Beware the Adaptec, you can trick their support software into working
with older cards by torturing your whitebox with various old vibs...

But you will NEVER get Maxview Storage Manager to work! NEVER!
Be grateful for ARCCONF, it's all you're getting, Adaptec sucks.

I personally have a ASR-51245, running the latest BIOS available, 18948.
The 5805, 5405, 6405, 6805, etc... should all in theory work with this combo, but if you have a 6 series card, you will have working maxview anyway.
So the trick here is using just the right versions of the drivers, cim providers and arcconf to get this to work, bear with me.

This is a script for setting up a small, debian based device that applies IP Blocklists to your internet connection.

This device is intended to operate transparently and quietly, entirely on your local network. it is NOT designed to be exposed to the internet. it works best plugged straight into your FIREWALLED, NATTED modem.

Plug eth0 into your router/modem/cablebox/pidgeon, eth1-3 can go to your clients. This device should require little to no config once set up. P2P style blocklists that are gzipped are downloaded, merged with any cached or local blocklists, and then swapped out with the existing lists once a day. I used Debian Wheezy (7.1) for this, it works EXTREMELY WELL.
