Status: NFC what to do now. I can't find any information about how to "complete the rollback" anywhere that doesn't involve some extra crap I don't have....
Got past that but using the server management console thing to directly connect.
Now I'm stuck with a phantom server (apparently):
I have no such thing (which I guess makes the error message sense).
Why is this such a hard thing?!
Status: OMG!!! I did it! Finally!
That last error was because (apparently) you need to be able to resolve the FQDN of the domain itself, and it must point to a domain controller. WTF. That's not been an issue for forever, but meh. Now I log off and hope for the best with an actual client machine (Testing tomorrow!)
Edit: Fuck.
Status: Yay! First check (server side) seems to be working!
Now to assign a computer to try going Direct Access, and see what happens when I go outside...

Well, if you are going to do something like an animal in public, following Weird Al's lead is less likely to get you arrested than, say, Trent Reznor's.

@Adynathos a long time ago I re-mapped the 16-color palette to black plus 5 shades of red, green, and blue, and wrote a program that would load 24-bit .bmp files and displayed them in those 16 colors. They looked something like this:
(click to see it at the proper size...)
...except it actually took a while to draw them. Those are just screenshots of the finished images.

@anotherusername You mean dithering?
Looks like a big CRT screen viewed from close distance.
Would it be possible to randomize the patterns to remove the lines?

Looks like a big CRT screen viewed from close distance.It was more like reproducing the red, green, and blue phosphors on a computer screen than actually dithering.
Would it be possible to randomize the patterns to remove the lines?
I suppose... it's plotting sets of 3 dots in alternating L- and 7-shapes (the two overlapping dots are green), and currently it's following a pattern for which dot is red, green, or blue:
Randomizing them tends to sort of break the illusion, though:
Other patterns tend to be just as noticeable as the lines, although maybe better:

Boss is pissed off that I told our outsourcing customer that I spent the last 2 weeks working on home-grown projects instead of for them.

Translation: I'd like to charge them for the time anyway.

New hypothesis: The MRI didn't show anything because my injury was almost completely healed by then.
Alternate hypothesis: the MRI healed you! Start a foundation immediately, and don't give up until those so-called "scientists" acknowledge the truth.
Also, congrats, be well.
It's a huge magnetic healing bracelet!
Also, the pain is now coming and going, and when it's here it isn't as bad as it used to be. Looks like my original injury is healed (which is what they looked for in the MRI) but I have a strained tendon and one small-ish bone contusion elsewhere (which the MRI did happen to see but wasn't my original area of concern), probably picked up as a secondary injury while I was weak from the first one.

FFS...
At least the computers aren't having so many issues, just the Primary DC can't seem to talk to itself...
You have 14 network interfaces?
No. Just that each time I reboot the main domain controller, it decides it can't find the domain (WTF) and is stuck forever thinking it's just a normal Private network, and the simplest way to fix it is to delete the network adapter, reboot, let it add the network adapter again, reboot again, and pray.
I've had to do this about four times so far.
Ouch.
Yikes
Yeah. I can only conclude that I must be doing something horribly wrong (probably something to do with my DNS config, since I'm not using the Microsoft Blessed DNS Server). But not enough things are broken and not enough time is allocated to fixing it in my house so
Yeah definitely that. The Microsoft DNS server is actually excellent. You should consider switching.

That's a weird way to spell "bluetooth dildo".
Oh, i have one of those too, but it runs off of rechargeable LiPo batteries. i havent retrofitted the rabbit with LiPos yet so it still eats AA batteries like there is no tomorrow.

Rabbit dildo is a subtype of dildo. It's designed to stimulate multliple erogenous areas at once.

Backing up a thumb drive before I use it for Windows installation... hopefully there won't be any problems because of LUKS.
But the transfer speed has gone from a steady 30 MB/s to 5-6 MB/s. What the fuck? At this rate it's going to be an hour before I get to play with my new laptop.

It's definitely USB 3.0.
It's alternating now between 30 MB/s and 6 MB/s so I'm guessing either anti-virus or removable storage encryption (which shouldn't be able to touch raw disk access) is interfering.
