Finally convinced a cheap-ass client to upgrade their servers from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS.
Hosting provider misclicked things in Azure and created VMs running 20.04 LTS instead, then transferred everything to them.
When I noticed and asked about it, they said “My bad! We can migrate you to 22.04, but what’s the big deal, 20.04 is still supported through 2030?” “ESM?“ “Err, yeah, you’ll have to get a paid subscription to get updates after 2025.”
IntelliJ IDEA was so eager to show me its New UI that it fumbled, forgot all my recent projects, and switched itself to Dark Mode. This is my unamused face.
Turns out IDEA also forgot/turned off Settings Sync and acted like a brand new install without any customization. All without a peep about resets or errors, until I realized my keyboard shortcuts weren’t working, and found/reactivated Settings Sync.
This silent reset really soured my experience. That’s something I’d expect from Microsoft Teams or other JavaScript SPAs.
I wonder if this new UI screwed up anything related to multi-monitor or high DPI settings…
If you’re going to enforce 90-day password rotation in this day and age, the least you could do is make your Ubuntu AD integration work properly over the VPN so I don’t have to come into the office to reset my password. Sheesh.
The new music in this #DysonSphereProgram update is outstanding. I have zero interest in the newly added combat crap (fortunately, combat is optional), but these tunes are grand.
