It’s amusing to me that the only times I’ve ever seen a FreeBSD graphical login screen has been @… screenshots. 30 years as a user and sysadmin and it has never been a thing I have thought to set up.

I need to stop even doing the no-brainer tickets for the day. I almost chewed out a client for not knowing how to make her screenshots mail-worthy and then being confused by a 28MB message being rejected.
I was a good boy. I spent 10 minutes rephrasing myself to be inoffensive. I think.

What's that work thing that I keep forgetting about until I run into it while doing something else and realize that I really need to fix that?
Why don't you know?

Although I must admit, I much prefer crystal-clear problems (URL NO CONNECT) with clean fixes over the sort I spend most of my time on, where I can only see the problem through the lens of other people's perception of slow vs. fast across something like a 10k-mile connection. With all the concomitant obscurants, both technical and cultural.

Had a major customer infra migration today, went perfectly fine until it didn't, right when boss/network guy was boarding a plane.
He spent most of his DC-Miami trip texting w/me getting me to look at everything except his firewalls. He even made me go digging into a Win22 IIS and on-host firewall config, which is an absolute fucking nightmare.
Guess where the problem was...
