God yesterday was awful. I actually did some work, got bored of that and then went on youtube and discovered this.

I KNOW, RIGHT?
I'm actually ahead of schedule, all tasks on time, industry chugging along.
Disgusting.

We'll probably get them back when @ben_lubar wakes up. At least...I hope so.

@loopback0 THAT is the thing you picked up on? Mutated cat trains driving along to music that seems to be coming from a tortured SNES, that's just ok, is it?

Thanks, DiscourseBB:
I'm pretty sure that's because @ben_lubar "disabled" notifications by commenting out the line of code that populates that list in an attempt to fix the recent performance issues.

If you're not getting old, we've got ghosts in here... (Not saying that we don't, mind you...)

Status: Got an automated email from my local library this morning, telling me that my library card is about to expire. Since I am about to move 800 miles (1300 km) from the only city in which the card is useful, I'm not too worried about this. However, since I am still claiming this as my permanent residence, I renewed anyway, to show my intent to return here.

@thegoryone wait, other people can spawn items in your inventory and then you get banned?

@thegoryone There's a reason I only do closed friend-only sessions; still hasn't stopped my UK Marshall turning into the Belgian one. Also hasn't stopped the $4m bonus I was promised from being denied by a lying asshole in Customer Support.

Status: Installing VS2015 U2 seems to have broken it to the point where it won't launch. Running a repair install, and also installing C++ into VS15. I'll use that if I have to. It's going slower than it has previously, but that's expected from C++.

Status: starting to think that the railways just didn't pay the phone bill for the subscriptions their "free WiFi" service uses. Ar first it worked, then it got painfully slow, now:
Sure looks like my "flat rate" plan that gives me 2GB of bandwidth for free then downgrades me to EDGE speeds. They might've skipped the "pay the bill" part I usually do though.
-
So VS15 didn't let me install it while the repair was going, but I canceled that and restarted this install. It didn't install the C# stuff this time, so now I'm adding that back on. Apparently that's slower than doing the install from scratch. In any case, we're talking about a several orders of magnitude difference when compared to the typical VS install.

@Magus 5 minutes, eh?

In totes, we wound up about 4.5 hours involved in switching out a firewall. After pre-staging the new firewall to be a drop in replacement for the old one (with a few minor cuts to some outdated inbound PAT rules).
The core of the problem turned out to be:
- We have a dedicated Internet access for our SIP trunk, no other traffic should use this link
- So we didn't set up a default route for that link (as worked on the previous firewall), and set a Policy Based Route to update the default gateway for voice traffic that does need to go that way
- The ASA worked 100% swimmingly for server-initiated outbound traffic that hit that PBR rule (we really have the rule to catch all traffic from those servers, because they're dedicated to Skype and there shouldn't be other user / service traffic from them aside from the usual Windows Updates which is throttled to the maintenance window)
- The ASA was successfully NATing inbound traffic through via the 1:1 NAT rules we have in place
- The ASA was silently dropping the reply traffic for aforementioned inbound NAT traffic because the outbound leg didn't have a matching route in the (master) routing table so obviously we wanted the ASA to put the packet on its head, light the packet on fire, and run in a circle screaming "OMG SECURITY BREACHEZ"
And it took an hour for Mujbar1 (with the Cisco TAC) to identify the problem and suggest a fix. To which his initial suggestion was "add a route to the client's IP out the default gateway of the Skype circuit". Though we did figure out that adding a (very high metric) default route for that circuit also worked. And then we get to firewall all non-Skype traffic off of that link now, since there's suddenly a gateway in the default routing table.
Because using a virtual routing table is just not possible for equipment as cheap as an ASA. Just ask MikroTik, where they restrict the policy based routing virtual routing table to all devices that cost $20 and up (aka their entire lineup).

@izzion Don't they also charge extra per phone on Call Manager if you want call transfers as well as , you know, calls?
Note: hearsay, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Status: Wanted to watch a video somebody posted. Discovered that apparently Ghostery recently started blocking all of YouTube, because "beacons." I hate beacons and other such crap as much as anybody, but blocking all of YouTube, no. That got whitelisted quickly.
Ironically, once I whitelisted YouTube and saw the title of the video, I decided it wasn't worth watching.

Unless this is m as in thousand from the same idiots who use the mm notation when talking about 1 million instead of k and m respectively.
