@scottalanmiller we were talking on the weekend and my wife said, ' ... unless you move to Nicaragua, or some weird place like that...'.
I said I know a bloke who could put us up if you want to go.

JAJAJA. She set herself up for failure on THAT one!
You should send her my set of "moving to Nicaragua" guides. Show her you are serious.

I just got my 1st coffee... same feelings about the pines. But at least it's been cooler weather. I turned my heat on for a few minutes this morning.

Nice! It's still warm enough to need a jacket in the morning and leave it behind by lunch.

Working with Dell support all day to get a resolution/ tech dispatched to my customer.

Power keeps going off for a few minutes. Not tragic but so annoying.

You only get a very little bit on UPS. Big UPS are expensive here.

Big UPS are expensive everywhere.

Just doing a simple update of VMware is so onerous, I swear I could migrate people to KVM faster than you can run the VMware updates.

All weekend it is doing a VMware migration from 6.5 to 6.7 on two hosts, not a cluster. Should be SO simple.
As this is VMware, it's over 150 hours of engineering time already. VMware support had to be engaged as we hit a bug in VMware's code that they didn't patch and doesn't get hit very often and it took them hours to figure out once they were engaged.
VMware is a train wreck. If we were doing this on ProxMox, this entire process would have been fifteen minutes, for real.
And we have a green zone. There's no attempt to do this online. This is a powered down process, and VMware can't do it.

Ouch - That doesn't offer much confidence.

Nothing about my real world experience with VMware inspires confidence. Nearly every deployment seems to be done based on emotions or confusion (you mean there are other options? but I've seen ads for this? but it is expensive, it must be good?) so the starting point is bad. And every deployment seems to need to bring in specialized outside help because nobody can manage it on their own. Every aspect of it is 100x harder than with every other product out there. People act like it is easy or well known, but how can every IT shop easily support KVM, Xen or HyperV, but we always have to get brought in as VMware specialists because no one can run patches reliably on ESXi?

binged the Matrix movies over the last 3 days. they left the last one wide open for 5th film.
still reckon the original is the best.
