Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"
-
Too bad when the DHCP server is down with the proxmox host
-
That could mean 2 things ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-
I tried doing it the debian way and (I believe) followed the instructions of one of the debian manuals.
Problem: Most assume (like you) that the DHCP server is always on and able to give out adresses. But sometimes life is in the way (and in my case: offline for maintenance) and it doesnt work with the DHCP option. -
Usually the DHCP server is the same as the router, so if the router is offline, you can't access it anyway. Right?
Or are you saying you'd plug in directly with a patch cable?
Could you explain more about your network setup?
-
There was absolutely no reason to bring up that you were coding longer than I was alive
So since you've clearly forgotten, let's go back in time.
- I said Windows should be rewritten from scratch because it has a poor foundation.
- You said you should never rewrite large software!
- I tell you that I've been a developer for decades, and that's not really true, it's just the authors opinion, and is entirely predicated on a mistaken supposition.
- You get defensive and slap your age down on the table like it's a big ol' dick as if you could never be wrong because you're 60 years old.
- I said that I didn't say that I was older than you. In fact I didn't mention age at all. I said that the likelyhood of me having been a professional developer for longer than you have been alive is high and you took that to mean as me saying "haha, I'm older so I'm right!"
- You misrepresented something your own source said, as something I said, and said it was wrong--which is fucking hilarious to me.
- You continue to take everything as a personal attack against you.
- Now all of a sudden unless you work for Microsoft you don't have the ability to have a professional opinion about the subject matter--you posting Spolsky's word as the word of God despite him having worked for Microsoft for like 4 years over 2 decades ago. lol
I specifically referenced Gnu tools, window managers, etc. What is wrong with you?
This is exactly what you wrote;
I use Linux. There are frequent bugs that require me to type in a command manually to work around.
I mean Jesus Christ my guy.
-
My router is just that: A gateway
This follows a HW firewall (I intend to replace)
Behind that is- My proxmox host with a bunch of VMs (including the DHCP/DNS server)
- A raspberry PI (which I reformatted and had the trouble with getting a static IP)
- Bunch of other stuff like servers, NAS and stuff.
-
You are wrong. Ran is past tense of run.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/run-into
run into something
present participle: running | past tense: ran | past participle: run
If you run into problems, you begin to experience them:
example: We ran into bad weather/debt/trouble.
If you're going to try to correct people, please make sure you're actually right first.
It's ran. Because I'm talking about past events.
-
Absolutely, I don't disagree with your statement at all. I work heavily in systems administration and recently transitioned to networking. I deal with Linux systems, servers, vm's, Azure daily, and for stability nothing beats Linux. I just tend to agree with the statement above commenting on how you always see these Windows articles, yet almost none actually affect you in the end.
-
I do like the diversity. You learn a few patterns and you can do them all. In the end basically the same but more flexible.
-
I will remember it for next time I need to set a static IP in Linux. Comment is saved and hopefully I can reference it.
I appreciate the effort you took to help me and anyone that is still looking for help
-
No worries. Hopefully you have things sorted.
-
I don’t mean to say that you’re completely wrong in your reasoning, but grammatically speaking, we use have + verb in past participle which we call present perfect no matter what verb is used.
In this case, you’re talking about something you’ve experienced, so the correct way would be “I’ve run” (as the past participle of run is run).
If you’d like to take a detailed look at it, here you have: Present Perfect - British Council and Using "have ran" or "have run".
Btw, It's completely normal to make mistakes! We're all human, and part of being human is learning and growing from our errors.

What a hot mess Windows has become. It's over, Microsoft. Give it up. Your precious hacks on top of hacks on top of half-ass fixes on top of even more hacks of half-ass fixes has finally become unfixable.
It's time to move on.
-
I said Windows should be rewritten from scratch because it has a poor foundation.
Having never written Windows kernel code, you are in no position to judge the foundation.
I tell you that I've been a developer for decades
No, you said you have been writing code longer before I was born.
I have been writing code since before you were born. Does that make my opinion more valid?
You misrepresented something your own source said,
The source I lonked clearly explains in detail why code is misread. You handwaved it away with the premise that code might not be misread. With that attitude, memory safety isn't needed either. Write perfect code and you don't need to use structured programs. "Don't do what everyone does because it is extremely hard." isn't a valid argument.
This is exactly what you wrote;
" It would be insane to claim that all of Linux (I'm also referring to all the gnu tools, window managers etc) should be thrown out and start fresh. "
I added that in the second sentence because I realized you are a child who has never used Linux without it being part of a distro. The first Linux I ran was compiled without being part of any distro. It was for a PRI Gateway when I was working for Vint Cerf on his side project.
-
It’s either “I ran into…” or “I have run into…”, it’s never “I have ran into…”
So yeah, the one correcting you was right.
-
And yet again: install Linux. I've been a happy lojix desktop user forever 2 decades now. Linux was ready for normal users 10 years ago, it was more than ready 5 years ago, and it is definitely beyond ready today

Normies don't tend to perform OS installs from slipstreamed update media.

Are you suggesting the build a new OS from the ground up? It'd certainly be interesting
