Well that was so much easier.

No more windows pretending to be Linux. No more docker desktop.
No more issues with windows path to Linux paths and refusing to mount
Nfs mounts to synology usable in docker

All in shell, no gui, and it was still faster with just vi

Goodbye windows.
Desktop next :)

When you spend all day figuringout terraforming azure, then phew finished for the day.

Time to sort out the proxmox, vm, docker containers you started yesterday and need to get nginx working at a minimum.

And I lost 2 containers as I never backed them up, they were done after my p2v.
*groan*

Another day fighting Terraform and #Azure FunctionApps in vnetintegration mode.

Whe U set WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE=1 (which is a good thing) then its read only, ok great.

I deployed a test to Trigger to that FA. Can you undeploy it, no. AzureVSCode cant, the portal cant.

Today I learned that you can overset jam. Blackberries and apples have high pectin and quickly becomes ready. It can be reheated and add water etc, but all that sterilisation again.

So I have very stiff tasty jam.

Been bramble picking, absolute bumber crop this year and no one seems to be picking in my area.

Jam jars and pectin on the way.

Couldn't do worse than Starmer.
Pinky as treasurer would be less of a butcher of the working class and disabled than Reeves.
Hell, animaniacs for foreign minister would be better than Lammy.

The legacy of the tories wreaked havoc through Send provision, local gvmnt hasn't recovered and this Labour travesty of a gvmnt are not doing anywhere near enough.

15yrs ago, my kid got a diagnosis, entry to surestart (without which he never could have gone mainstream), sen meetings were attended by council reps at schools. Yrs later a convo with local gvmnt rep said I'm down 3 staff & each of us now manages 7k kids so can barely do paperwork, can't attend mtg

What a dummy. I've been under the illusion that azure run books were being killed off.
So wrong. They just changed a bunch of things for the better with powershell and runas.

Mananaged Id for the win in my book.

I'd did allow for exception. It can be allowed in envs where there is a genuine active, good, dev team that is patching regularly.

3 years ago I blocked all PCF components in my tenant. After much research, discussion /w prod team.

All the evidence I needed was to add a bunch of PCF gallery items into snyk.

Not one passed. Many High vulns. Most not touched for 6 months or longer.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social
So the changes to pip, leave those on it alone, but not new claimants.

It's bad enough that you're doing nothing to increase jobs, good jobs, enabling ai to cut jobs, reduce house prices, rent, food.

It would be wonderful, but it's been proven again and again, it's cheaper to fly abroad and back to alternate airport than take the train.

Nationalise and subsidise the railways.

Having it front and centre in every app as well is annoying too. I don't want help with my documents or my emails, they are technical, nuanced and CP screws them up every time.

I got no choice at work, but at home it's getting closer to taking out the trash.

I have googled this and tried searching for solutions and reinstalled checked drivers. But can't figure this one out.

Do you know why with 3 monitors 2+lappy, it will only look at laptop screen, but snipping occurs on main display, sometimes it shows the laptop display on main, other times it does & disappears on click and sometimes not at all but will actually snip from the other screen though I draw on the main.

I have some code on it but my new stuff is privately hosted on my own git server.

Not everything is open source.

So what is the process for triggering a leadership election? pretty sure members don't approve of this. They did it to Corbyn, time to do the same, and get socialists in place not tories in red.

#Azure peeps.
So CoPilot and ChatGPT have both gaslit me, and say

For VNetIntegration & SNAT that for a single target IP/Port combo that there is a max of 64 concurrent connections per IP in the outbound subnet

Not in any doc I can find.
It makes sense some limit else why have a NAT GW

Anyone?
