Status: Exhausted. I had about 9 hours of sleep all weekend.
Had to load the truck for a show Friday night. Sifting through 50 bins of stuff to put together 10 that might sell. It's a sadistic game of Tetris where somebody always wants something I couldn't fit or forgot in the garage.
Then I had to be up at 5AM, to leave at 6AM, to be starting setup at 7AM. That show ran from 9AM to 4PM. It was relatively busy, though it didn't result in as much revenue as I'd hoped. Our last "customer" was infuriating...his fat ass bar code scanned every single item in the booth, piled up $200 worth of stuff marked down to $100, and stormed off when I couldn't give him another $25 off. Seriously? Then there was an hour of teardown followed by dinner at Friendlys across the street because it was easier than cooking. Now, because the window for getting time off from my part-time job is super narrow (less than 3 weeks, no-go, more than 4 weeks, requests disappear), I had to go in and work 3 damned hours. Since I was there, I picked up some groceries and then passed out around 11PM.
Then I had to be up at 3AM, to leave at 4AM, to be starting setup at 5AM for another show. That turned out to be a complete waste of time. Turns out it was closer to Amish country than I thought. A toy show, Sunday morning, in Amish country. We had 5 customers walk through the doors. It was seriously just the dealers milling around buying from each other. My friend and I each sold $20 worth of stuff. I would've had more, but 1 of those 5 was an Amazon haggler. You know the type. "I see your item is super mint and right here right now, but Amazon can ship that in a box, or bag, with no padding in 3 days so I want you to give yours away." Fuck you dude. We all started packing up 2 hours early. Then there was the drive home, unloading the truck, and dinner with the parents. I didn't think I'd make it home.

That's exactly what I told him. I don't have any patience for that sort of crap. I'll get my asking price at the next show in 3 weeks no problem.

Everything in O365 and Azure is a half-baked disaster.I can't say I've ever had problems with O365 migrations, either hard cutovers or Exchange hybrids. Inbound or Outbound flow problems? If Inbound, have you run the domain through MX Toolbox or similar to verify DNS settings? If Outbound, have you checked to see if you have any "special" mail flow handlers that are redirecting mail in unexpected directions? Is your generic outbound handler using DNS or set up to smart host through somewhere?

Status: Roughly 2.5 weeks ago I sent my ISP a letter giving them a 3 week deadline to fix their shit or I'll cancel my contract early due to nonfulfillment. Also asked them for a written acknowledgement, obviously.
Until today I haven't heard anything from them, so I just called their hotline. 20 minutes of elevator music later, I ask them what the fuck is up.
ο: Oh yes, your cancellation is noted and goes in effect on August 30th.
: You are sending me advertisement spam every month by snail mail. Are you planning to send me a written notice of this cancellation any time soon?
ο: System tells me that no letter has gone out yet. I'll try to trigger that again.Well, fuck you very much.

Status: Surprised at just how badly Amazon handled the only item that I've ordered from them this year.
I ordered 6 figures from the same assortment, from Amazon directly, at the front of June. Let's back up here. I normally order from another shop, price be damned, because I hate Amazon so much. However, Mattel has been jerking them around and this was supposed to the last wave before they lose the license so it was ripe for "uh oh Spaghetti-O!" shenanigans so I had to have a backup. Slow shop received theirs in the middle of July. Not long after, Amazon's pop in stock. Fine, whatever, I'll see if anybody in my circle needs them or sell them off at a show.
Then Amazon dragged their feet for almost a month. Then split the case into 2 shipments (fortunately split 4-2 because 1-item orders ship in a bag - yes, really). Then shipped them both. But not really! Box of 2 showed up and 1 item is smashed like somebody stepped on it before shoving it into the box. The next day, there's an e-mail from Amazon. This item has been delayed another 2 months, do you still want it?
WTF! It's still "in stock" on Amazon. On whatever world "ships in 1-2 months" means "in stock."

It was on both, I never solved this one. Clients are on the same broadcast domain as the DHCP server now. Ran out of time.

I wanted to do a migration but I just couldn't make the migration tool work in any mode. Connectivity Analyser said everything was full green but all the migration tool would say was 'failed to connect to remote server'. I did try a lot of suggested solutions. One was to disable IPv6 on the SBS server, I can now confirm that doing so buggered that box good and proper.
I think I know what the issue is now (DNS, like you said), I'm relaying all mail to O365 from onsite (so I can back out without having to wait for TTLs). We still have the old autodiscover stuff for onsite in DNS and I've got some suspicious dialing boxes about 'allowing [on-prem-addr] to manage the app'.
Will make DNS changes tomorrow to send everything the proper way, hopefully that will solve issues like that.Edit: there was method to the madness. A third party does our DNS records and I couldn't have had anything done out of business hours. I didn't want to be stuck over the weekend with a defective config!

I have particular beef with this one. When we moved, we had a rhubarb plant, grown from a clipping from the one owned by my great-grandmother. Like an heirloom for millennials. And then they told us we couldn't bring it in because it might have some species of beetle they didn't like. I fucking hate this state.

oof.
Yeah, changing IPs on a domain controller or Exchange server requires immediately restarting the server, so it can re-register in DNS with the services down and then let the services start up. SBS is, of course, both at once, so it usually just straight up :surprised_pikachu:s you when you change its IP while it's operational.

Status: Playing Control (came with my new graphics card).
It's a bit like playing a game set in the Laundry-Universe (albeit with less tentacles). It has some level of dark humor (There's posters hanging around which basically go: "Y'know how The Oldest House sometimes spontaneously re-arranges its internal geometry? If that happens and you take longer to your destination as a result, this does not count as overtime!") and other nice touches (for example, when you first enter the building the director's face is greeting you regularly from oil paintings hanging on the wall. Consequently, shortly after you yourself become the new director, all those oil paintings now show your face.)
It also does not have difficulty levels and the default one seems to be "hard" - it does not have the "automatic health recharging" feature of other shooters while retaining their squishiness. Get caught in the open and you'll kiss the floor.
