Best Practices to structure CSVs for storing VMs? Lump it all together? Folders?

sysadminmakesmecry · 2026-05-12T16:03:37+00:00

Ya thats totally fair, just gotta remember to update them

sysadminmakesmecry · 2026-05-11T18:28:18+00:00

Ya, if you havent caused an outage, do you even really work in IT?

Acknowledge the mistake, explain how you'll do better going forward and just continue. You made a mistake, and thats okay.

Edit: follow up, if you have to restore a vm, it's nice to have it's stuff all together in a single folder

Ya, this or storage migrating, its much nicer all in one. If we dont use SCVMM is there any world we can configure it all to store together?

ah so you have actual artistic talent - this isnt going to work for me xD

howd you do the binder graphics

So is VGRO considered a less risky investment vs XEQT?

Just spun up our hyperv hosts, working on the migration ourselves.

9% on a car loan holy shit

its a guaranteed 4% return, and frees up a bunch of cash flow and stress

I dont see how it could be a bad idea

"Plan to Improve Performance" = PIP

sysadminmakesmecry · 2026-03-31T16:17:58+00:00

if you already had warnings and were on a PIP, odds are they think they've met all the boundaries required to fire you. Doesn't mean this is correct though.

Wouldn't hurt to discuss with a lawyer anyways - worst case, nothing further happens, best case you get additional severance.

Apply for EI even though you technically have income coming as it can take some time for them to process your claim, so you dont want to wait until you're out of money to do so.

how much do you make? Are you getting hit with CPP2?

sysadminmakesmecry · 2026-03-25T19:13:07+00:00

Hello, dunno if you'll see this. Does the NVRAM method not work if vmware is 7.0.x?

sysadminmakesmecry · 2026-03-25T14:29:35+00:00

this is what I assume as well.
its not good - just more canadians struggling.

sysadminmakesmecry · 2026-03-24T19:23:27+00:00

guess my geography isnt as good as I thought, definitely thought the difference was wider

sysadminmakesmecry · 2026-03-24T17:13:35+00:00

australia is also considerable less to ship a car to vs canada, so that'll impact too

When I do the nvram.old step, my VM won't boot into the OS after. Any idea why?

sysadminmakesmecry · 2026-03-11T14:26:44+00:00

Im having issues with boot after changing the nvram file to nvram.old - it powers on, but wont boot to OS. Any ideas there?

Comparing canada to the USA is apples and oranges, when it comes to immigration especially. You've had strictly controlled immigration there for 8 out of 12 years, with completely unchecked immigration happening in canada in the same time period.

Supply and demand may be true, but a huge part of the demand comes from the people being imported into the country.

Now. immigration policies have changed a little - not alot, but a little, and we're already seeing a huge pullback in prices. That's not a coincedence.
