@TimeBandit Windows was a bit slow on the uptake. Film at 11.
Windows not having important features bundled in is hardly a surprise considering what happens to Microsoft when they do. Remember Windows N?

@TimeBandit No, that was Tuesday. This is just work stuff.

They still bundle a browser (and now 2) that you can't remove

@dcon That link takes you to a page explaining the nature of the update, and information on how to join the insider program. They decided putting it here was a better idea than spamming toasts.
Yeah, I saw it as well but I actually figured it was a pretty good place to put it.

Status: Well that's great. We happen to be on a specific build of Windows 10 that has a "special" bug with however this third-party developer is opening listen sockets.
Only happens on machines with build 14393.693 (which, all of the developer machines have).
The apparent interim solution (despite it apparently having nothing to do with it) is to disable Automatic Proxy Configuration in Internet Explorer Options (because,
).
Because supposedly no others have this issue.

You can remove IE11, so it's still 1 browser you can't (officially) remove.

No, I can sneaker-net it from another machine! Which got it from another machine. Which.... Oh fuck.

The best thing would be to download Chrome with IE11, then remove IE.
Nobody needs Edge

Personally I carry the current version of this around on my keychain USB µSD reader:
I download it on a Debian box. Never have to touch IE/Edge.

Status: Spent 15 minutes in a meeting today trying to convince management of one of our clients that blocking Facebook is not a solution to a hiring and management issue. They are trying to apply a technology fix to an HR issue.
But whatever. We will put it in. We will administer it. We will take their money and their employees will just dick off on their phones instead while their managers don't manage them.

As long as X is not "thedailywtf.com"
That's why there are IP exclusion lists.

I think that's my number one most hated response to questions I get from my manager about "can we block X". "Well, that's mostly an HR issue, but we can put in a technical block if you want..."I was even hoping we could ditch all this shit. They had been running Sonicwall (I fucking hate Sonicwall), but it started dying. So I went over there last night and swapped in a Cisco unit I had on hand. This morning they contacted me to make sure all the exclusions they had in place were back in place so that employees could do what they needed to do. (Translation: These things break all sorts of innocuous shit. Especially so when your employees work in drug testing and need access to stuff about drugs and medical stuff, etc.)
I told them that things were wide open and asked if we could have a meeting today to discuss options. I tried very hard to talk them out of locking everything down so tight. No such luck. Whatever. I will only work so hard to not take their money.

Status: just realized that the restaurant I'd been wanting to go to for dinner, which is right next to the theater, is all the way across town from the theater that we bought tickets for... still wanted to go to dinner there (and wife did too, because I made the mistake of mentioning it to her)... realized that I bought the tickets through my account on the theater's website, and they are refundable... got the original tickets refunded, got new tickets for the theater right next to the restaurant, and I was able to move the showtime from 9:00 to 7:00 because my wife's schedule changed so that we can make it to the earlier showing, which means I might actually get to sleep at a decent hour tonight. And we should even still have plenty of time to eat. Go me.

Status: Attempting to whet my toes in Docker. I apparently managed to start the Docker service itself.
But....
Creating containers isn't working for some reason. I think the interface I'm using is using bad assumptions (such as there being a
latest

I was about to correct you and say IE11 didn't come preinstalled, but then I checked and it did.
Not sure what to think now.

And they tie Windows, Edge, Cortana and Bing all together. Not just by default, you literally can't separate them anymore.
Doesn't sound like they're very scared of lawsuits.

Linux, though I believe everything is sorted out now, apparently something went wrong in the setup thing and the "latest" tag didn't exist and bollocks from then on.
Next task: Restore a Windows sytem (using System Restore) into a bhyve VM over 100Mb connection (because fucking wires borken). It's funny, because the system image is 1.2 Tb and will take the greater part of three days assuming all goes well...
The damn thing keeps freezing up and dead-locking the whole process, pegging a whole core at 107% (somehow...).
I'm pretty sure it's the virtual network adapter, so I'm going to try switching to virtio and seeing if Windows PE can load the driver...

Thanks DPD. Glad that reschedule request was "successful".

Status Just had fun with a Node server which lives behind an nginx reverse proxy. Had to setup everything again due to a hardware upgrade. So, setup nginx, setup SSL, setup the database and finally the Node application.
Which just sat there silently, doing nothing (yielding only a "Bad Gateway" by nginx). Nearly tore my hair out, reconfiguring things, manipulating configs, restarting... until I remembered that, while the Node server in development was running on port 3000, production would be on a different port. Like, 80? The one nginx was already running on?
I love stuff which silently fails...

Why not copy the files into an HD in the source machine and move the HD to the target, then restore locally?

Because apparently FreeNAS doesn't mount "normal" drives anymore. At least, I couldn't get it to do so.
