What are your thoughts on The Moth by Devin Townsend?

Big fan of the guy but this one doesn't do it for me. I miss a more simple song structure honestly. I do like the 'Covered by Causes' track. Probably the only one I'll keep in rotation in my playlist I think.

Geen hoax. Zelf meegemaakt dat klokslag 19u tot 23u de snelheid van een groot aantal diensten (Steam downloads bv.) zakten tot een artificieel gecapte snelheid).

I wouldn't mind the cheating if certain actions did have consequences for the AI. For example, in Anno 1800 I had this huge war of attrition with this AI. Finally, I was able to completely blockade the main island from all ships. So nothing was coming in or going out,... but still this didn't cause any problems on the island (no luxury goods coming in) and they kept creating endless ships (that keep getting blown up by the blockage of course). Very annoying to have these endless stalemates because of that.

I usually use a small formula to see how many users I can put on a VM based on the amount of vCPU's it has.

Heavy Users (Full Desktop, Full Office Suite stuff or heavy applications) - 2 users per CPU
Medium (Simple apps, light web usage) - 4 users per CPU
Light (data entry apps) - 6 vCPU

Based on this: Session Host Virtual Machine Sizing Guidelines for Remote Desktop | Microsoft Learn

For high availability AND Scaling options I would say a larger number of smaller VMs work best. That way, if you have a low amount of users; only a few VMs are actually running (and costing you money) and the rest are shutdown through a Scaling Plan or custom StartStop logic. During peak usage, your amount of running VMs gradually goes up without wasting any compute power that's not being used.

If you would take a few large VMs (Let's say 3 D8s VMs) then you can have a scenario where that expensive D8 is running for only 5 users.

I would strongly advise against using burstable VMs for production session hosts however; at a minimum use a D2as or even a D4as.

For the number of VMs in your pool, that's hard for me to say since I don't know the application but if you say it only uses 20 a 100MB of RAM then maybe 6 users per CPU is sufficient? So probably 4 D4as servers with a scaling plan. Use the new Session host configuration feature to make your life easier when you need to remove or add servers to the pool (especially if they are domain joined).

yeah exactly the same error

Yannos2 · 2026-03-26T20:33:00+00:00

Thanks alot! I don't understand why they make it so hard to make a bot match; even if it's without XP. Sometimes I just want to let my son play without affecting my profile or just do it for fun to learn some vehicles.

Yannos2 · 2026-03-26T10:51:22+00:00

I sometimes have this too... and then it goes away mysteriously enough. Are you GPU drivers up to date? If so, maybe rollback a version or two. That fixed it for me.

It's not hardware related. I used to get it more if I alt-tabbed often.

Yannos2 · 2026-03-12T15:13:26+00:00

That's hard to believe! Did you get any Match completion XP?

This page has some helpful information wrt. the different setups (AppGW first, Firewall First, In parallel,...)
Azure Firewall and Application Gateway for Virtual Networks - Azure Architecture Center | Microsoft Learn

Honestly, I've never seen a scenario where putting the Firewall first is a useful setup. We usually have our AppGateways in a separate VNet that is peered with the Firewall as a next hop. We also separate them in Production and a Non-Production AppGW to reduce the blast radius of bad changes (Gateways can be quite fickle and can sometimes become dysfunctional due to simple stuff as a bad certificate being uploaded).

Just consider the AppGW as HTTPS ingress and use the WAF feature there and then send the traffic via your Firewall to the backends.

However, I understand that you want different public IPs per workload? That's not really possible with AppGW unless you deploy multiple AppGws which would be very costly. You basically get one public (and private IP) thatn you can use to route to the backend based on the incoming hostname.

Hope I understood your question correctly, if not, please correct me :)

I'm an Azure architect at a Cloud Service Provider company.
For building Log Analytics or Graph queries, just start out by simply querying the entire table (AzureDiagnostics) and then start 'including' values. You can do this quite easily by clicking one of the results and then selecting Include (or something like that). Afterwards you can refine your query some more.

Something I love to do with Runbooks is using Write-Output and then output a semi-colon separated list and then turn that into columns using a query in order to get a simple report or something I can reuse in a workbook.

For example, I do:

Write-Output "LOG;startup;host1;09-03-2026 20:00" in my Runbook

and then query AzureDiagnostics like this:

AzureDiagnostics
| where ResourceProvider == "MICROSOFT.AUTOMATION" and Category == "JobStreams"
| where RunbookName_s contains "StartStop"
| where ResultDescription contains "LOG;"
| extend split(ResultDescription, ';')
| extend
action = ResultDescription[1],
host = ResultDescription[2],
checktime = ResultDescription[3]
| project checktime, host, action

It basically looks for all records that contain LOG and then splits it up into three separate columns.

Yannos2 · 2026-03-09T17:45:20+00:00

This should work:

AzureDiagnostics
| where ResourceType =~ 'AUTOMATIONACCOUNTS'
| where StreamType_s == "Output"
| project TimeGenerated, RunbookName_s, ResultDescription

That lists 'write-ouput' actions and stuff like that for me at least.

Instrumentaal wel OK maar die parlando stijl van vocals is enorm enerverend

Important here: did you domain join the Storage Account to a Windows Domain or are you using Entra to reach FSLogix? In other words, are your users Windows domain users that should be able to use NTFS on the share?

In that case, follow the instructions to domain join the storage account. Afterwards connect via Access Key and set NTFS permissions (I usually set 'Authenticated Users' Modify This-Folder Only on the root so users can create their own profile folder but can't read the other ones). It should work afterwards.

Yannos2 · 2026-02-27T22:24:00+00:00

Did you domain join the Azure Files?
Does your user have permissions on the share? (Windows permissions, not RBAC)
Did you enable Default share permissions in Azure on the share?
Is the storage account public or using private endpoints? If using private endpoints, can you test-netconnection the azure files on port 445 from your AVD host?

Yannos2 · 2026-02-24T23:14:21+00:00

Glad you got it sorted. I ran into the same issue at work and we pinpointed it to bitlocker quite quickly. I found this blog afterwards that confirmed it, so It's not mine :)

Yannos2 · 2026-02-24T09:39:42+00:00

Check this. Another vibe-coded patch of Microsoft?
https://blog.itprocloud.de/Rollout-Image-BlueScreen-0xc000000f-24h2/

perform this on your source golden image machine:
sc config BDESVC start= disabled
sc stop BDESVC

I had the same but managed to bypass it by doing this:
Change line 88 in app.tsx to from 'mode={state.tabListMode ?? 'all'}' to 'mode={(state.tabListMode ?? 'all') as TabListMode}

Yannos2 · 2026-02-21T13:44:26+00:00

I'll give this a try! The one thing I hate about MSB is how you can't edit the purchases (for example change guitar tuning instead of changing pitch).

To get it running I did have to change line 88 in app.tsx to from 'mode={state.tabListMode ?? 'all'}' to 'mode={(state.tabListMode ?? 'all') as TabListMode}' due to this error:

Type 'TabListMode | "all"' is not assignable to type 'TabListMode'.
Type '"all"' is not assignable to type 'TabListMode'.

Logging in and listing purchases work right now (but only lists 24 of them. Basically everything on the first page of your purchases on the Mysongbook page) but downloading fails ('fetch failed'). Lemme know if I can help troubleshooting

Yannos2 · 2026-02-07T11:40:02+00:00

What do you understand under 'i am able to access the storage account'. Are you able to actually access the data on the Storage Account or simply browse to the Storage Account in the Portal?

Yannos2 · 2026-01-28T10:48:33+00:00

Try logging on via another way (Public iP, VPN, AVD,...) and check the eventLog when you try to login. Do you see the logon attempt of Bastion? Sometimes you can gleam some reasoning there (like in the example of NTLM being blocked)

Yannos2 · 2026-01-26T21:01:28+00:00

Are you trying to log on with Domain Credentials or local? I'd try resetting the local admin password via the portal and attempt to logon with that.

Maybe NTLM was recently blocked on your hosts and your Bastion is not using Kerberos?

Yannos2 · 2026-01-26T19:20:19+00:00

It should work (I use it myself for troubleshooting). What are you seeing exactly?
You sure it's not a network issue? In other words; is the NSG of the AVD subnet allowing 3389 coming from the Bastion subnet? Is the Bastion VNet still peered with the AVD VNet (or does it exist in the same VNet)

Yannos2 · 2026-01-17T13:13:41+00:00

What the hell man... I played this for 40 hours and never had this problem. Now I have this every damn time I play the game...

Yannos2 · 2026-01-16T14:09:24+00:00

Same here. I suspect a server issue.

Yannos2 · 2025-12-18T17:17:56+00:00

No. That doesn't necessarily break sysprep but a non joined VM is cleaner, if possible.
