Bloody hell, a good review of Super Nintendo in the Times. "The upside of MacDonald’s standing is that you won’t find anyone, I don’t think, with a better insight into the nuts and bolts of these games... Here is a book bursting with love." www.thetimes.com/article/cc15...

And available now for everyone is this extended (11000+ word) look at Resident Evil Village, covering everything from weapon feel to character assassinations of varying types and the pointlessness of decorative corpses: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2026/01/26/r...

EU just stripped Hungary of its veto leverage over €210bn in frozen Russian assets The shift from 6-month renewals to an indefinite freeze backs a €165bn loan for Ukraine - repayable only when Russia pays war damages euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/12/e...

Norwegian Institute of International Affairs and Corisk did the math Europe's politicians haven't. Arm Ukraine to win: €522-838 billion. Let Russia win and rearm Europe: €1.2-1.6 trillion—double the cost. Plus 6-11 million additional refugees.

That’s it, the biggest names in IT Ops and Sec are leaving what’s left of Twitter, and so do I. You know where to find us.

After just a few decades, http-only communication is deprecated in SCCM. May the NAA eventually rest in peace. ⁦@EricaZelic⁩ ☺️ Update 2403 for Microsoft Configuration Manager current branch is now available. - Microsoft Community Hub...

#Hugops für die Stadtwerke #Waldkirch. Erst Internet, dann Strom. Hoffe ihr trotzdem noch einen schönen Sonntag 👍

I can't believe https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2930276/system-center-2012-r2-data-protection-manager-install-fails-and-genera is still an issue with #SCDPM 2019. I really like the product, I really hate the installation procedure and program.

Worst #WorldCup ever. Doping, lies and cover-ups. https://1.ftb.al/zNTc/gaE1InT30N

Verifying myself: I am madmirko on Keybase.io. AKJNfyfXb67Y8BCYkrV3KebfdGu5Qrz2ORHv / https://keybase.io/madmirko/sigs/AKJNfyfXb67Y8BCYkrV3KebfdGu5Qrz2ORHv

Is there an equivalent to #RDP /remoteguard for #hyper-v vmconnect with enhanced session mode?

Wondering if your upgraded #scdpm 2016 installation uses RCT with your upgraded #WindowsServer 2016 host? Look for the RCT prefix.

Really liking ReFS w #scdpm 2016 Modern Storage. Fast. Efficient. Sane.

Ahh... the smell of a newly released server SKU, with freshly generated base vhdxs. #WindowsServer2016

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2930276 is still an issue in #sysctr #dpm 2016 TP5. Problem is 1.5 years old, now.

Company I work for to be bought by one 100x larger. Seems my SME days may be numbered.

Is Win 10 servicing in #ConfigMgr 1511 working for you? If not, vote there: https://connect.microsoft.com/ConfigurationManagervnext/Feedback/Details/2134832

Helped a customer migrating off SCCM2k7 and FEP2k10 today. This must be what unearthing Egyptian artifacts must feel like.

Just in case your shiny Surface has trouble with your AP: https://madmirko.wordpress.com/2015/11/14/surface-pro/ or http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfpro4-surfnetwork/wifi-slow-on-new-surface-pro-4/80a08768-b9d9-46f7-a545-c6d95d6245e8?page=1&auth=1 . Not fixed...

Just rid myself of the final 2012 Hyper-V cluster (in favour of 2012R2, of course). #Server2016, ready when you are.

#SMBDirect falling back to TCP/IP after reboot? Check https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3052127,#SMBDirectissue is not Infiniband-only. #SOFS #Hyper-V

Is it me, or has the fix for https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3025091 been pulled? "No public hotfix available" #kb3025091 #StorageSpaces

When a user's eyes glazed over due to #SOFS tech details, I've shown them this: https://madmirko.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/reboot.gif#SOFS#SMBDirect #R730 #MD3060e

validate-storagepool v2 (https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Storage-Spaces-Physical-7ca9f304) leaves default MSDSM policy at RR after testing, regardless of prior setting. #SOFS

There should be a check whether a NIC has a VLAN set before it is allowed to be added to an existing #LBFO team. Because I'm dumb.

And today's storage controller crash reminds us why we always have 1 more than strictly needed. #Redundancy#Redundancy#Redundancy

A (MS support) bird just told me that #DPM 2k12 UR6 will enable optimized protection for deduped, clustered volumes. That will save €€€!

Seems optimized backup for dedup-enabled volume on clustered file servers will be enabled in DPM2k12R2 UR6. Fingers crossed.

Get rid of replaced team nic: get-netlbfoteam | Get-NetLbfoTeamMember | ?{$_.failurereason -eq "NicNotPresent"} | remove-netlbfoteammember

Who loves #winserv dedup? Right, me: Capacity : 10 TB UsedSpace : 4.3 TB UnoptimizedSize : 31.35 TB SavingsRate : 86 %

Use PowerShell to live migrate VMs between standalone hosts, with the right amount of parallelism. #HyperV http://wp.me/p1ca7T-2e

Protecting a dedup-enabled volume of a clustered 2012R2 FS with DPM 2012R2 the "optimized" way not possible, but WSB can? #DoesNotCompute

Sneaky storage system thought to fail a disk tonight, but it didn't anticipate Disk-Change-Man! *tadaa*

New to #ITOps? Remember the ABC: "Assume nothing, Believe nothing, Check everything". (And don't use Broadcom, kthxbye).
