• I have an interview on Friday that lists VMware as a 'plus' to know, but I don't. Any resources to cram from now until Friday?

  Eh, a week to crash course vSphere with unknown "plus to know"? You can learn ESXi + vCenter(vSphere) in a couple days, but you wont still "know it", just have exposure to it. I would start by pulling up ESXi and vCenter deployment videos and downloading the trials from vmware.com and star there. Source: about 1 year ago

• Upgraded 6.7 to 7.0 and have a small issue with update manager

  I used the Feb 23 Dell vendor ISO from vmware.com and the upgrade went fine as expect. Source: about 1 year ago

• Advice/opinion wanted about vSphere Cloud Foundation vs. existing VMware environment

  Yes, I see it consists of the same products, but they are managed by that SDDC appliance. I just found a "VCF FAQ" at vmware.com, which answers some questions:. Source: about 1 year ago

• For those of you with rack and cabinets, let’s see your cable management! Cable arm for my R720 won’t fit in my cabinet so I’m looking for ideas that won’t snag cables when I pull servers out. Interested to see how everyone does it.

  Oh, you can try ESXi as a VM under Fusion, assuming an Intel-based Mac. Just register at vmware.com and download the beast. If you're curious. (There's also and ARM-based version of ESXi but, eh.) Of course "corporate" ESXi really becomes itself when you run it with all the complementary stuff and manage it using vCenter Server. Source: about 1 year ago

• Can I call myself a gamer now?!

  I used a Virtual Machine from vmware.com which worked. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is $250 a month in disposable income livable for a family of 3?

  You'll be going into a tight budget time, so get a really good system in place. If you don't have that you love already, I recommend YNAB (youneedabudget.com). It's envelope based and is really good for planning ahead for irregular expenses and for "rolling with the punches" if something comes up. It works differently than traditional monthly budget, so take time to use all the resources to learn the system. ... Source: about 1 year ago

• LPT Request: What is your favorite life hack that has saved you money, time, or made your day-to-day activities easier?

  I also said in a comment below, I use YNAB to track my financial life. This strategy only works if you have enough confidence in your finances to know that if I gave you a card with 100k credit limit, you would never spend more on it than what you have in your bank and has been budgeted for. If not, I cannot overstate how important it is to get your budget in order beforehand. There’s zero money saved if you pay... Source: about 1 year ago

• Fund future vacations

  If you aren’t already giving every dollar you make a job, earning more money will only get you so far. Check out YNAB, read all the free content about learning to plan and budget. Source: about 1 year ago

• Tracking savings goals

  Track it by hand or in software. I started out with just a spreadsheet, but since then moved my whole budget to YNAB (youneedabudget.com), where you track all your individual savings goals as well as how your money will be used to cover regular (and irregular) expenses. Now the whole plan is in one place, and covers everything from how much is set aside for gardening supplies for this summer to the big... Source: about 1 year ago

• My grandfather passed away and left me 25k. I have next to no savings and I owe money on a couple credit cards and a car. Almost 40, how do I maximize this?

  Aside from all the other advice, get a subscription to YNAB (youneedabudget.com) and start using it religiously. It will help prevent any backsliding and will put you in a much better financial situation going forward. Source: about 1 year ago
