Yo @randileeharper . I know it's been a some years, but is there a chance you can help put in some time and effort to undo the mess blocking a lot of trans peeps in your blocklist for back in the day?

It'd be nice to read @wilw and @RikerGoogling on my main.

@Virtual_Nerdity @Tohuw @VMware I'm looking forward to the smoke machine for system cooling: https://t.co/9dytf2xYDM

[Evie Blackwell @virtuallyEvie]

Renewal for the group buy looks like it is going to be little complicated. Anyone want to divide up 4k between friends ? ;)

[Evie Blackwell @virtuallyEvie]

Hey @lamw, are we looking at doing another run of the VMUG Advantage group buy this year?

🚨 [Heads Up] 🚨

Due to "crypto64.efi" issue, VMware has pulled ESXi 7.0 Update 2 online/offline depot

@VMware does NOT recommend upgrading to 7.0 Update 2 until a new patch is released

Follow these KBs for more details: https://t.co/Tlbhz0FL8l & https://t.co/1gcO8pA05E

[Evie Blackwell @virtuallyEvie]

@lamw Just rescued the 7.0U2 host that was stuck from the crypto64.efi error with a USB key to just do the upgrade with the 7.0U2 ESXi iso.

[Evie Blackwell @virtuallyEvie]

@lamw I enjoyed having both the vSphere 7.0U2 upgrade check issues *and* the ESXi upgrade via the VUM Patch/Enhancement stream.

The ironic part was that the latter was self-inflicted because I went out of my way to create it that way since that was the old way I was taught to do it.

[Evie Blackwell @virtuallyEvie]

@AmandaBlev Have a rogue pi zero w with the cloud key software and let the provisioning begin 😜

[Evie Blackwell @virtuallyEvie]

@lamw Looks like it sold out here, or isn't shipping to Canada. Maybe next time! 🇨🇦😜

[Duncan Epping @DuncanYB]

It is possible to disable the creation of vCLS VMs, but keep in mind that DRS will not function when you disable it! In future releases it may also impact HA. This is intended to be used for troubleshooting only. How you can do that is described here: https://t.co/Ne5ZKZ5Sts
