One of those days where I'm staring at #prettyping output, waiting for pings to drop to figure out a network issue.

Haven't touched #Java since my #ColdFusion days, but now I'm in the release notes for a simple feature addition to #Booklore. Anyone can help out in the #OpenSource world! #OSS

If a #SonicWall TZ470 only supports 2.5gbps on their SFP+ interfaces why does the firmware let them negotiate 10gbps? Dumb.

I don't understand the #Windows11 hate about forcing #Microsoft accounts. Mac's require Apple accounts, iPhones require Apple accounts, most Android devices require Google or Samsung accounts. So why the hate on Windows?

It's super fun being someone who naturally sweats a lot and starting a new prescription, which has the side effect of causing sweating.

UPS now has mapping to show me where my package currently is... in case anyone wants to know what I'll be staring at until that beautiful brown truck shows up at my door.

Decided that when I share #Powershell scripts that people should not be running I'm going to start reprimanding them for it. gist.github.com/davejlong/db...

Took the week off this week to recover from a busy past few months... so naturally I wrote a new @n8n.io community node. This time for #Audiobookshelf github.com/davejlong/n8...

While some people wait outside a store for when it opens to get the latest product to drop, I'm waiting outside the library for when it opens to get the latest zoo pass that I've reserved. #AdventureIsOutThere @walpublib.bsky.social

So far, my biggest complaint about using #Windows365 for the past week for all my work, is the constant captcha verifications because I'm in an #Azure VM.

So it disable local rules for #Windows firewall through #Intune, the settings will still say "Yes, Apply local firewall rules"
July 17, 2025 at 3:18 PM
Why do software vendors default to asking IT to disable the firewall on computers? Upon asking why, they begrudgingly tell you they don't actually know.

Another case of shitty practices to prevent people from unsubscribing from your spam.

If you do this when I try to unsubscribe from your mailing list (which I never signed up for), I will never be your customer.

When documenting your apps webhook settings, please provide what HTTP Method your webhooks use. Today, I'm looking at you #Hudu support.hudu.com/hc/en-us/art...

I just stood up a #MSSQL instance, for converting data, on #Docker on an #Ubuntu server... When did this become that easy?

The most difficult thing about working in #IT is not dealing with users. It's dealing with incompetent technology vendors and not jumping in to fix their issues for them. #MSP

This won't stop being a weird set of commands to be able to type into a #Windows server. #ITOps

We have sso.tax to shame companies charging for SSO. How about a site to shame companies with dumb password restrictions like a 16 character limit? Looking at you TD Synnex.
