@h0bbel @jfrappier Late reply - agree with what others said. AppControl (formerly Protection) is on-prem. EDR (formerly Response/Response Cloud) is on-prem or hosted. Carbon Black Cloud platform (formerly Defense, ThreatHunter, etc.) is cloud-only. AppD can be either but benefits from cloud access.

@PandHPhoto @kmruddy Try this:

Get-VM | Where {$_.extensiondata.config.hardware.device.deviceinfo.label -like “*nvme*”}

Does that return what you’re looking for? Can probably modify it slightly and use Get-View instead for faster return in a larger environment.

Seeing tons of talk on The Last Dance. Haven’t seen it yet... hope it’s released in a physical media of some sort.

Here’s a photo of my favorite Jordan piece: The dunk from the Free Throw line to beat Wilkins, including the pre-dunk scoring - and certified autograph.

After not responding to Slack for a while, I come back to find the most recent message:

“That’s such a great metaphor for James not being able to get anything done lately; a vCenter task stuck at 0%.”

I’m right there with you, stuck task.

@steveathanas @PandHPhoto @ErikGruetzmach1 @mvwood @arielsanchezmor Now that the link is there... @PandHPhoto and @ErikGruetzmach1, go listen to that podcast. We talked about Twitter the other day and the episode highlights it well. Note: it was released a day after we chatted and made changes to the page.

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

@steveathanas @PandHPhoto @ErikGruetzmach1 Root tweet was from @ITRealityUS (I think) that seems to no longer exist for me - both the tweet and account. It was a link to the podcast for reviewing the Twitter profiles of a few VMUGs and the Leaders. Was a good listen.

@martylichtel Labs are fun! What’re your plans?

I resisted the urge to pick your brain about CA setup the other day...

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

I tried to do something in the homelab today. Before I really got started, I came across a SSL certificate warning.

Thought to myself, “I should set up my CAs real quick,” because I’m an idiot.

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

Spent most of the afternoon/evening playing with the home lab today. Feels good to get things set up.

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

@chipzoller I feel like this a lot. My experience has led to burnout when attempting to ignore the impulses or desire to play games or do the mindless stuff. I don’t know how to reconcile it, but I do know that ignoring the impulse doesn’t work well.

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

I took an afternoon off last week to attend a Veeam User Group. I had been out of the loop and missed most of the hype. First time hearing about most of these features!

I wrote about the experience. #vexpert #itjustworks

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

@steveathanas We’ve had this discussion several times. The points you’re sharing here aren’t new to me. Still, I’m happy to see them written and find that they have the same (if not more of an) impact than the first time I heard them.

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

Excited to have received the #vExpert 2020 award! Congratulations to all new and returning #vExperts.

I spent some time after work writing a quick blurb about what it is, why I'm excited, and how I hope to earn #vExpert 2021.

@jhoughes @steveathanas @MyVMUG If you���re ever in the area, be sure to be vocal about it - would be great to catch up! Also, Steve says nice things about me in public. It all goes down hill once everyone is out of earshot...

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

If you know anything about our relationship, you know how much it pains me to say this: Steve is smart and has a ton of knowledge to share. Worth checking in on this blog.

[Steve Athanas @steveathanas]

I’ve been thinking about an outlet for some of my longer form technology, management, and leadership thoughts. So, I started a blog.

I’d love to know what you think.

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

@steveathanas Excited that you finally pulled the trigger on this. Good stuff.

[mattwallace @mattwallace]

So for #vmware #rif victims, I have a number of jobs opening up

- Enterprise Architect

Most of these are not yet posted but coming soon and happy to chat.

[Scott S. Lowe @scott_lowe]

If you’re a recruiter looking for good tech people, please reply here with a way for people to get in touch with you. I’d like to try to collect opportunities for folks affected by @vmware’s layoffs yesterday. Thanks!

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

@Eave06 Miss you, too, Lady. Let’s get together for our biennial dinner soon.

[James Mueller @JamesMuellerIT]

Catching up on Twitter only to find many impacted by the VMware RIF. If there’s anything I can do, please reach out.

I get stuck in a bad place with rough news. I’d need to hear this so maybe it will help you, too: You are worth it. You are wanted. You are loved. You’ll be ok.
