  • More features for our employee account lifecycle automations. The coding isn’t as much the hard part as keeping track of all the different moving pieces and how it all interacts.

    For example, when using Azure Enterprise App user provisioning to sync data into AD from an HR system, it can only set the Name (separate from DisplayName) property when creating a new user. This limitation isn’t documented anywhere I can find, and it doesn’t even show as an error in the logs when it tries to update an existing one and fails.


    It’s the curse of “one man army”: this shit is too complicated to keep it all in my head at one time, and also too complicated to bring anyone up to speed in a reasonable time frame. So I’ll continue soldiering on with it on my own. Thankfully the end is in sight.

    Don’t do this sort of shit for any boss that isn’t worth it. Mine has no overtime expectations, is very obviously training me to move upward within the team, and each of the last two years I’ve gotten >10% raises.






  • My guy, I’m a grown ass adult that does sysadmin work for a living in a full Windows/Microsoft environment. Just stop. You’re wrong about how Windows works.

    Your meme is simply not how Windows works, unless you intentionally choose to disable the security feature of UAC while leaving Windows Defender on. At that point you’ve accepted the risk that you could do something to break your shit.

    You turned off warnings for all the shit you say Windows sleeps through, but left Windows Defender on which keeps the exe warnings. The only way to get Windows to work the way in this meme is if you configure it in this non-standard way.

    Your willingness to poke around with computers will serve you well, especially in the modern age as people are less willing to do that, but don’t assume you know everything just because you know more than the people around you day to day.

    All of those things require admin rights, which is an explicit acceptance that you are now working with things that could fuck your shit up. Modern Windows, unless you disable UAC, asks you to confirm you’re sure you want to use admin rights before you have the opportunity to break any of the shit you claim it’s chill about.

    Running an exe doesn’t require admin rights, hence the extra warnings. Plus a malicious exe could do all that shit without asking for admin first through a privilege escalation exploit.

    I swear, people find more uninformed shit to complain about with Windows every day.

    If all else fails, you can try using whatever the lastest community supported fork of Universal Android Debloater is. It uses ADB to remove bloatware, which bypasses vendor locks on keeping certain apps installed.

    Obviously no real replacement for custom ROMs, but it’s better than nothing.


  • Flashing your lights or highbeams to pass is seen as quite agressive in the US. It isn’t taught in drivers ed, and the general interpretation I hear most people have of it isn’t “Hey, could you let me pass?” but instead “Hey! Fuckface! Stop driving so goddamn slow and get out of the damn way you shithead!”

    Doesn’t help that in my experience, the only people flashing to pass are aggressively tailgating me when I’m already 10 mph or more over the speed limit.

    Better to just pass on the right if there’s room. And if there isn’t room, fuck off telling someone to get out of your way. Not like they can get over anyway.


  • While identity politics are important, I have always believed that their explosion into mainstream after Occupy Wall Street died was part of an intentional plan of the powers that be to kill the momentum of the potential class war.

    That, along with some of the stories coming out of the camps as things crumbled, match up pretty directly with stuff out of leaked and un-classified three letter agency guides on disrupting grass roots movements.

    Hard to have any kind of momentum against the 1% when you’re busy arguing about microagressions along identity lines. Or ignoring the point of intersectionality entirely to lump poverty level trailerpark white males in with old money white male ceos.

    Wealth is a far more influential force on life outcomes than any identity aspects. Identity more heavily impacts the 99%, so focusing on it takes eyes off the tippy top elite.

    Just like all the recent focus on landlords including hate for small local people renting out one family property rather than focusing on the fucking investment companies buying up entire towns worth of housing.

    Keep your eyes on the fucking prize folks, instead of squabbling over the tablescraps.









  • If it’s legal in your state, I would expect there would be some sort of medical board you could report him to. Either way, this might be a sign that you need to find a new GP, if they are explicitly stating that they are going to refuse treatment over a drug test showing something you have a script for.

    Small question: Did you remind him he had told you it was fine previously and that you had a script for it? It might help to state the question very directly: “I just need to make sure we’re on the same page here. You are refusing moving forward with the next steps of care due to a drug test showing positive for a substance I have a perscription for?”

    You can’t assume they’ll remember this shit or be aware of your other scripts. A new person took over for my retiring GP and somehow got the bright idea to refill me at double my fucking dosage. Supposedly it was recorded that way in my file (despite never being a problem for literal years).
