It would be a shame to risk interrupting those critical problem reports by doing work on your computer. Hallway jousting time!

Status: Preparing a presentation from material gathered a couple of years ago by someone else, so I can't go back to the actual original data to take snapshots. The snapshots I have to work with come in two varieties: poor resolution, or some confidential labels showing where they should have been hidden before taking the snapshot.
So I'm editing about 20 pictures one by one with Gimp's blur tool to make the 10-or-so labels per picture unreadable. Nice way to end the week.

@jinpa
It's kind of opaque to set up and once running, a lot of the initial symptoms of failed authentication are the same as a STP block on your port or a bad physical network card. And the logging to try to confirm if it's an 802.1x problem is really poorly hidden on the client side, and not generally very detailed on the switch & RADIUS server sides.

You could also write it in as highly abstract a version of Haskell as you can possibly manage. Same net effect; cheap contractors don't know either Math or CS. Or German…

Status: Car was due for its bi-annual inspection. I handed it over while remarking that the air conditioning makes a kind of yowling noise.
Turns out that the condenser is leaking, necessitating a complete replacement to the tune of 1,000€ (labor costs included). Oh well...

Status: With 6th semester nearing an end, I've come to conclusion that naming all lab projects from all courses "LabX" (where X is assignment list number) might've not been the best idea.
With CryptoAppMD being the only exception - the only thing I'm sure what it will be when I click it.

It's alright, at the beginning of the next semester, just remove them from the recents list.

status Just updated my Mac to Mojave. I remembered to immediately go and check for updates since it doesn't bother updating all the way. That was successful! All so I could update Xcode.
Yeah. You guessed it. But now instead of saying "Waiting" in the AppStore, it just has a spinning circle. Ah, progress. Maybe by tomorrow it will actually decide to install...

SMB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RDP file copyYup, I'm wondering if I should spin up an SFTP server just for this. It doesn't seem to like transfers over a couple of gigs.
Edit: Derp, or just use SMB I guess. Go, go, robocopy!
Edit2: Except I can't access the machine's Administrative Share over the VPN. That's unexpected, I wonder what prevents that. I'm auth'd as a Domain Admin.

Status decided to clean out the trap on one of my bathroom sinks. It doesn't drain slowly anymore, which is good. However, ewwwwwww. And I hate trying to reattach the drain stopper lever thingy. Always takes a bunch of tried to get it right.

@Cursorkeys
Hm, without the creds prompt info I would expect a firewall problem. But yeah, I would try explicitly using the FQDN username for the DA (or server admin) account, Windows auth does weird things if your local computer "knows" an account with the same username as the target domain's account (either locally or in the computer's domain if it's different than the target domain).

I think it must be something like that, I don't remember it behaving the same way previously.
Domain\User
is working fine though. I don't need to qualify the domain for the DC, only the clients (for the same user).

Status: Configuring the throttle on packet transmission for my data transfer system. If the throttle period is too low, the system drops packets (an overall slowdown and possibly a failure case) but if it is too high then throughput will suck. Unfortunately, it all depends on the time it takes for a piece of software to handle a message when that receiving piece of software isn't very good at reporting errors (as it hasn't really got anywhere it can report them to, for various reasons).
It looks like it's a throttle period of between 30µs and 40µs…

@izzion FUN FACT: the SMB protocol specification (you know, "get directory contents, get file, send file" but more detailed) is no less than 421 pages long.
