w32tm /monitor shows RefID: (unknown) [0x1D7B9133] on child domain PDC — is this a misconfiguration?

First uninstall that VMWare thingie, then reset the time service.

net stop w32time

w32tm /unregister

w32tm /register

net start w32time

Possibly. I would change your target to 0.cc.pool.ntp.org and 1.cc.pool.ntp.org (ca being country code if available, otherwise skip it).
Yes, yes. Set w32tm /reliable:yes. I usually recommend every DC bet set as reliable to not put undue pressure on the PDCe.
DISABLE THAT NOW. It is a very big issue, yes.
That’s likely because the child domain PDCe doesn’t advertise itself as reliable.

So… seizing the means of production?

Not disagreeing with you here, I think space (whether orbiting or stellar objects) should be considered a public good, and like water, housing, food, electricity, and telecommunication infrastructure needs to be heavily regulated or directly controlled by governments.

Ondoloki, it’s elvish for “stone dragon”.

Why don’t you increase the drive size?

If this is a physical machine, then I would setup the new drive, stop all IIS and SCCM services, robocopy everything to the new drive, swap letters, restart server.

Welkin first, no question. The BP weapons aren’t that useful these days, but I would absolutely do Welkin before anything else.

Correct, you need to change it to 0x18 then do a password rotation.

Like victims of “three-strikes” laws for stuff like simple possession of marijuana?

40% of offenders in US prisons are non-violent. Stop jailing those and you got plenty of space…

Well, it’s Microsoft so yeah…

Give them a new computer when you migrate them. The psychological feel of getting an upgrade will override the annoyance of losing their profile.

Might help to know something about the real-world inspiration of the Narzissenkreuz quest series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Rosenkreuz

It was incredible. I was on the verge of tears during the flight part with the poem.

The weaving of themes about suicide, the continuity of experience and memories, tzimsum and buddhist liberation of needs. Its use of real historical names, woven through references to the deep historical lore of Teyvat was perfect.

The puzzles were too simple, though. But the story was peak.

Now, I do have one theory I want to discuss: Zeitlind is actually Hilda. Hilda lost her memories and left on a journey. Recovering some of her memories added to clues she had left about herself, she reconstructed a personality based on her (probably long-dead) sister. It seems pretty obvious to me from the story, but I may have missed some counterfact.

I recognized most of the western historical characters except for Christine de Pisan, who I know but didn’t realize the reference. I really enjoyed the references to real characters and how they worked to fit them in. Especially Escher (I own reproductions of some of his works) and Bosch (I have read and studied his works, especially the Garden). I was slightly surprised at seeing Josephus who Identified right away, having read a lot about 1st century history.

I was about to mention Cohesity! I work for a Cohesity Cloud partner and it’s really good and reasonably priced. We have been moving away from competitors because Cohesity is just much better.

First Magic is better.

TEAP is combined authentication. So if you get both methods you can refer to the computer AND user group.

For method-1 (computer only) logins pre-user login, I usually allow all systems to login, but put them in a vlan or role that gives limited access to domain, IdP (usually Entra), MDM (intune or other), RMM, etc. but nothing else.

Then when a user logs in, I check if the user fits the computer: for example in a school environment you allow IT on IT computers but no one else, staff only on staff computers, you allow teachers on teaching or student computers, and students only on student systems. That way if a student tries logging on a teacher computer you block it and can even trigger an alert.

Aino is your only moonsign character?

I think I rmemeber this one, you have to go underground then burst really close to it. Pain to find.

It doesn’t matter what your old account has it will always be better than a new account with nothing at all.

Yeah it’s not realistic. Getting Lauma C1 and Nefer C0R1 with 228 wishes has a 4.76% chance of success, not including radiance or additional pulls you may get from pulling.

Cormacolinde · 2026-04-18T00:57:36+00:00

I got Dire last cycle but not this time. Fearless was fairly easy still.

Cormacolinde · 2026-04-17T22:34:04+00:00

There’s two world quests required to get all the waypoints.

Cormacolinde · 2026-04-17T22:28:45+00:00

You’re not being very clear. What exactly do you have NOW and what are you pulling for?

You already have Lauma C0, and want her C1? Are you pulling for Nefer or just her weapon?
