prompt idea: AU where either Lug is Anode's bodyguard or Lotty is Nautica's. 😍 uh, oh wait, a short story. Um. bickering about risk-taking?

You asked for an AU and after some thinking I realized it was easier to do it in canon

(Anode/Lug, G, 1.8k, warning for non-graphic non-fatal gun violence)

 “I don’t need a bodyguard.”

“We don’t send trainees off-planet without one.” Powershell had on a long-suffering look that Anode was, by now, quite used to seeing from her.

“I can take care of my –”

“Oh, just tell her.”

Anode choked off the rest of her protest as a familiar face stepped into her view. Lug was hiding a smile, and it was all Anode could do not to run to her and kiss her in front of her supervisor.

Powershell continued speaking. “It’s unorthodox, obviously, to allow anyone to be guarded by their conjunx, but with your history of traveling together, I saw no reason to object when Lug put in the application.”

Anode grinned. “This is going to be awesome.”

“Nothing’s changed, Anode, you’re still going to this workshop to learn about –”

“Sentio metallico carbon-dating, I know, I know,” she said. She tore her eyes away from Lug for a moment to nod at Powershell. “I can multitask.”

**

“So how did you become a bodyguard? Is there a tragic backstory?” Anode linked her arm with Lug’s and lowered her voice to a whisper. “Do you have to carry a gun?”

“Yes there’s a tragic backstory, and I’ll tell you all about it right after our first near-death experience together,” Lug said. She lowered her voice in turn. “As for the gun, hopefully you’ll never need to find out.”

Anode used their linked arms to draw her into a kiss. They’d taken a shuttle from Caminus to the nearest active spaceport, and now they were surrounded by a wider variety of people than Anode had seen since she’d started her internship.

“Mmph.” Lug broke away almost immediately. “We’re in public. I’m your bodyguard.”

“I know we were having fun with the bit, there, but what’s the point of spending time together if we can’t do what we want?”

“It’s not a bit, Anode. I’m getting paid to keep you safe.”

“The Camiens are too careful. Remember how we wandered around this segment of space for hundreds of years without anyone playing bodyguard?”

“Yes. We almost died thirty-one times.”

“You can’t have actually kept count.”

“Want to bet on that?”

Anode considered. “No.”

Anode had missed Lug’s vindicated half-smile. She wanted to kiss it. Lug slipped her hand into Anode’s and led Anode toward the passenger shuttle they were taking to the conference. “I’ll relax when we’re alone, okay? But the Camiens are worried that someone’s going to hurt you and” she lowered her voice into the joking persona once again. “I’d be a disgrace to my profession if I let that happen.”

**

Nobody had tried to kill Anode by the time they found their berths on the passenger shuttle, which was honestly a little disappointing. Anode knew that Lug wouldn’t want to hear, that, though, so instead of saying anything she kissed her, letting Lug push her against the wall and putting her hands everywhere she could, reviving her memories of Lug’s frame.

Lug made sure that both of them were strapped into their seats when the shuttle took off and gravity switched from planetary to artificial. Anode didn’t bother to argue, and was rewarded with most of two days all but plastered to Lug’s side, catching up on everything that hadn’t been important enough to waste vidcall minutes on, watching media that Lug had been saving for a time that Anode had a break from the Lighthouse, and making up their own new rules to some of the bizarre Camien board games that Anode had brought holos of.

Anode was insisting that spilling coolant on the holo, shutting it off mid-game, was a valid move, and Lug was laughing at her, when the lights went out.

Anode saw Lug lurch to her feet and Anode followed suit, looking around the room even though she was certain nothing in here had caused the issue.

There was a distant boom. Never a good sound on a spaceship.

A minute after that, the lights turned back on, as if nothing had ever happened.

“Do you think they’ll still pay you if we all die in a spacecraft explosion?” Anode asked after a few seconds of silence.

Lug elbowed her in the side. “Bad joke,” she grumbled, but her shoulders were already relaxing a bit now the immediate crisis seemed to be over.

A voice came over the speaker system. “We apologize for the disruption,” someone said blandly. “There was a mechanical failure in our engine block. Repair crews will be en route and should reach our location shortly. Our arrival at Seneen will be delayed by approximately eight standard hours.”

Too fucking chipper by half for someone who ought to be apologizing, was Anode’s immediate impression. Being eight hours late to the course didn’t phase Anode – that just meant extra time to spend out here with Lug. But the way the lights had gone off first, and then the explosion…something was strange about this.

“Fancy a trip to the engine block?” Anode asked, already turning to go.

“No,” Lug said with surprising vitriol. It was enough protest to make Anode turn to her.

“You didn’t notice how the lights went off before the explosion? That’s what’d happen if you wanted to disable the alarm system by disrupting the electronics and then blow part of the engine up on purpose.”

“Or it could be any of a dozen other things. Either way, we’re here as passengers. It’s not our problem.”

“It’s our problem if someone on the ship is up to something,” Anode said. “Look, you’re my bodyguard, right? If someone did this on purpose, I could be in danger. All of us could. All I’m asking is that we check. You wouldn’t shirk on your bodyguard responsibilities, right?”

“That is so not how any of this works,” Lug said, but she was leaning forward now, shoulders squared toward the door.

“Glad you understand,” Anode said, and when she opened the door, Lug followed her out into the hallway.

The engine block was hidden behind a locked door, for an unusually pathetic definition of the word locked. It took Anode five minutes to build an override, and soon enough she was easing open the door, no alarms to speak of.

The engine room was larger than the equivalents Anode had spent time in over the years – she’d only ever helped out with the engine when it was just her and Lug traveling together. After a few minutes of scanning around, though, she was confident that she could have identified almost everything she was looking at.

It didn’t take that long to notice the problem. There was still smoke coming out of a hole in the piping where Anode suspected a distributor should have been.

It was the kind of thing that could theoretically just happen, if passenger craft like this didn’t have dozens of redundancies to prevent it. However, the frayed remnants of a fuse that had obviously attached to an explosive, lying on the ground next to the busted distributor, told a different story entirely.

“What are you doing here?” It was the same voice from the announcement, now laced with more fear than it had been when announcing the “mechanical failure.”

“Just seeing if we can help,” Anode said, holding her hands up. Beside her, Lug followed suit. “We’ve done a lot of traveling, fixed our share of engines. I see that this one’s pretty busted, though.”

The alien in front of them was about Lug’s height. Their single eye went to the blackened remnants of the fuse on the ground.

And then their eye was on Anode. They’d followed her gaze to the evidence of their crime on the floor. “I just need eight hours,” the organic said. “I can’t work on this prison for another day. Eight hours to squirrel away valuables, just a thing or two from every piece of luggage, and I’ll be set for life. Won’t even hurt anyone – the company insures it. I’m so close to making it.” The organic raised a gun toward them.

Anode didn’t think, she just reacted. She was bigger than Lug and a shot that hit her instead of her conjunx was less likely to hit something important.

The shot went into her hip plating, with enough force to knock her to the ground. She barely got herself up on an elbow in time to hear the second shot go off.

Cold fear seized her spark before she heard the organic’s cry of anguish. “You shot me!” Their voice was shrill now.

“You shot my charge,” Lug said.

Anode managed to turn over and look up at Lug. She was holding a gun out in front of her like she’d been made for it, arms perfectly positioned and still with intent.

The door opened, then, and more attendants burst in. Lug dropped the gun with a clatter and put her hands in the air.

Anode and the organic were put on stretchers next to each other, giving her the opportunity to whisper, “You could have just cut us in on the goods,” before she was carted off to the ship’s medical bay.

**

Lug didn’t leave her side as the crew took her to the medical bay. The one doctor who happened to be on the ship took one look at Anode before his face solidified into pure panic, and Anode managed to convince him and the crewmembers fretting over her that she could fix herself. It wasn’t a bad wound, though she did break two pairs of the medical bay’s shitty tweezers trying to get the bullet out.

Lug didn’t leave, but she didn’t say anything. Eventually, once Anode was as patched up as she was going to get out here, she turned to Lug. “Cheer up. We caught a criminal!”

Like we’re not criminals and a smile were the response Anode was hoping for, but Lug gave her neither. “You don’t get to tell me to cheer up,” Lug said. “I had one job.”

That was the sticking point? “Lug. Don’t be stupid,” she said. “I’m fine. All that matters to me is that you weren’t hurt.”

“You don’t get it,” Lug said. “When you get hurt, it hurts me. Not just because I’m being paid to keep you safe. When you seek out danger, on purpose, for no reason…you’re risking yourself, and you’re accepting that. But I don’t have to. I don’t want to. You’re allowed to be chipper about it, and I’m allowed not to be.”

Anode took a moment to work through all that. She squeezed Lug’s hand once in acknowledgement before speaking. “Okay,” she said. “If it helps, I really am just fine.”

“I know,” Lug said. Her glum expression didn’t recede.

“You’re a great shot,” Anode tried. “You might have a future in bodyguarding.”

Finally, Lug cracked a smile, resting her cheek against Anode’s shoulder as she laughed. “Maybe I do.”

Timer clock with seconds

Timer clock with seconds professional#

Timer clock with seconds windows#

The shot clock was originally introduced in the NBA in 1954 as a way to increase scoring and reduce stalling tactics that were commonly used before its inception. A shot clock is used in conjunction with a game clock but is distinct from the game clock which displays the time remaining in the period of play. In some collegiate and amateur facilities this display might be located on the floor or mounted to a wall behind the end line.

Timer clock with seconds professional#

If the shot clock reaches zero before the team attempts a field goal, the team has committed a shot clock violation, which is penalized with a loss of possession.Īt most professional and collegiate basketball courts the shot clock is displayed to the players and spectators in large red numerals below the game clock on a display mounted atop each backboard. It may be colloquially known as the 24-second clock, particularly in the NBA and other leagues where that is the duration of the shot clock. This clock reveals how much time a team may possess the ball before attempting to score a field goal. The set amount of time for a shot clock in basketball is 24–35 seconds, depending on the league. This article deals chiefly with the shot clock used in basketball. It is analogous with the play clock used in American and Canadian football, and the pitch clock used in baseball. Shot clocks are used in several sports including basketball, water polo, lacrosse, poker, ringette, korfball, tennis, ten-pin bowling, and various cue sports. The possession demonstrates the end-of-half intricacies of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's former 35-second shot clock (red LED) when possession changes and the game clock (white LED note the decimal point) is below 35 seconds.Ī shot clock is a countdown timer used in a variety of games and sports, proving a set amount of time that a team may possess the object of play before attempting to score a goal.

The new microsoft edge browser reviews. Whether you use Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, Windows Virtual Desktop, Citrix XenApp, Citrix XenDesktop, or VMWare Horizon View to satisfy your organization’s Server Based Computing needs, we offer remote desktop management software for organizations of all types and budgets.

What is RdpGuard and How does it Work? RdpGuard is a host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS) that protects your Windows Server from brute-force attacks on various protocols and services (RDP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, MySQL, MS-SQL, IIS Web Login, ASP.NET Web Forms, MS Exchange, RD Web Access, VoIP/SIP, etc). Jan 11, 2018 Long story short - users are going to start using RDP on the conference room PC as opposed to signing into their own Windows account. A dedicated account will always be logged in with only the RDC icon on the desktop; basically everything else will be locked down through group policy. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

In addition, our solutions excel at monitoring RDP performance, connection quality and latency, security, and user session activity – we cover the gap in RDP monitoring and analytics for organizations that have deployed a pure Microsoft Remote Desktop Services environment with no Citrix or VMWare overlays.

> Not sure where to start? Answer a few brief online questions about your remote desktop protocol needs and get going now.

Deployment of our tools is a snap, regardless of your environment. Our solutions work well with on-premises networks or in datacenters serving up dedicated and shared desktops for Managed Service Providers. You can store collected terminal server data in SQL Server Express, on-premises SQL Server, or perhaps most conveniently, in Microsoft Azure SQL.

Finally, you will not find a more affordable set of solutions for Remote Desktop Services monitoring and management in the market. A subscription to our flagship RDS monitoring and reporting tool, the Remote Desktop Commander Suite, can be started for only $9.99 per server per month, with volume discounts available. Other software companies will charge you thousands of dollars to perform assessments of RDP and terminal server performance in your network – we do not.

Read on to learn more about the different editions of our products.

Remote Desktop Commander Suite

The Remote Desktop Commander Suite provides active, real-time and historical capabilities for user session management.

Historically, small and medium sized businesses have had few affordable options if they wish to monitor performance and user activity on their remote desktop servers. Vendors like Citrix and VMWare offer comprehensive remote desktop management software and terminal server monitoring solutions only at their top licensing tiers, placing them out of reach except for the largest organizations. Other third-party vendor solutions are often priced by concurrent user, making them expensive to implement and maintain.

The Remote Desktop Commander Suite is a powerful package for SBC environments. At its heart are two key components:

Rdp Mac To Windows

Remote Desktop Reporter

Remote Desktop Reporter, part of the Remote Desktop Commander Suite, is a comprehensive reporting and monitoring solution that collects and consolidates key metrics from all of the remote desktop servers in your environment, providing you with easy to run and schedule reports showing user activity, time tracking, licensing trends, application usage, and performance.

SPL Tracker (Service Provider Licensing Tracker)

SPL Tracker – part of the Remote Desktop Commander Suite – saves time, money, and headaches for organizations who need to keep an eye on service provider licensing programs.

Here’s how:

Microsoft SPLA Licensing, Citrix Service Provider Licensing, and the VMWare Service Provider Program offer big savings to Managed Service Providers, but at a price. Monthly reporting requirements are onerous, and MSPs that attempt to tackle this chore by hand find that it is time-consuming and error prone.

Wouldn’t you rather leverage a tool that can automate this task for you? And, while doing so, track and eliminate license wastage so you can reduce your monthly costs? If so, Service Provider Licensing Tracker is designed especially for you. Reach out and request a quote to learn more about how it can actually pay for itself in very little time.

Remote Desktop Commander Lite

If the Remote Desktop Commander Suite sounds too robust for your needs or you are still a fan of RDPSoft’s legacy Remote Desktop Admin Toolkit, then Remote Desktop Commander Lite is perfect for your needs.

Remote Desktop Commander Lite assists you with tasks that are active and real-time in nature, such as observing memory use by application or user, logging off and disconnecting users, terminating hung processes, and running parameterized PowerShell queries against session hosts, users, or processes.

Ipod touchcopy mac download. Best of all, Remote Desktop Commander Lite is now completely free – it’s our gift to entire RDS/Citrix community, and we hope it makes their lives easier.

Remote Desktop Commander Premium Management Features

If you don’t need all of the features of the Remote Desktop Commander Suite, but if you need improved shadowing and remote assistance capabilities to support your users, sophisticated real time monitoring of live sessions, and/or a way to delegate management tasks to your support staff without making them server admins, then extend the capabilities of Remote Desktop Commander Lite with our Premium Management Features package.

The Remote Desktop Commander Premium Management Features license only costs $99.99 per admin or help desk user per year, but gives you the power you need to adequately support a Microsoft Remote Desktop Services or Windows Virtual Desktop environment of any size. Microsoft Remote Desktop Services does not have a native mechanism to delegate remote desktop management tasks to support staff, which to date has required giving support staff admin rights. Also, native shadowing support for Windows Server 2012 R2, Server 2016, and Server 2019 has been complicated at best, plagued with issues related to shadowing multiple monitor sessions.

Our Premium Management Features package fixes both of those issues, by providing a complete RDS Management Delegation Wizard to define and extend granular rights to help desk staff across session hosts and connection brokers. It also comes with our new SuperShadow tool, which allows admins, support staff, and managers to monitor and assist multiple sessions at once, with file transfer capabilities through the clipboard, complete multi-monitor support, and so much more.

Remote Desktop Canary

Need to keep a constant watch on your Remote Desktop Services deployment, with the ability to receive instant alerts if new RDP connections cannot be established or if new connections are experiencing slow RDP login times? Want to review screenshots of login sequences to see how long it takes for RemoteApps and login scripts to launch? Want to send login statistics to your existing NMS solutions’ dashboards?

If so, Remote Desktop Canary is the RDS synthetic monitoring solution for you. Program it to perform recurring RDP login monitoring tests into your environment, notifying you and recording screenshots and other statistics for troubleshooting. Pricing starts at only $499.99 a year to monitor a single RDS farm/collection, with volume discounts available.

Other Services

Rdp Marathon Press

In addition to producing Remote Desktop Commander Suite and Remote Desktop Commander Lite, we also provide additional services for our clients.

You can request an RDS Performance Audit of your RDS infrastructure to review and identify any performance bottlenecks in the areas of CPU/memory consumption, network connection quality, and much more.

Rdp Madeira

You can also contract with us to produce custom reports against Remote Desktop Commander’s database.

TL;WR: I also like compile-time type checking, I think Python is more carefully designed than the other scripting languages mentioned, not sure what benefits printf-style formatting confers over Python's extensible formatting protocol.

I can definitely understand a preference for static type analysis. If TypeScript had more robust compilation solutions for multi-environment projects I would use it at the complete exclusion of JS. (As is, VSCode can be nudged into doing almost as good a job analyzing JS statically with a little help from JSDoc, although this is not a perfect substitution for many reasons.) I also generally recommend to my students and other beginning programmers that they start their learning with Java or C#: languages that introduce lower-level memory management concepts with strong typing and have easier out-of-box error handling and reporting through their intermediate virtual machines.

The reason I am a little defensive when it comes to Python—besides the fact that I was highly active in Python communities for several years and have an irrational emotional attachment—is that as an interpreted language I strongly believe it stands in a class of its own. It affords many of the opportunities to mess things up that JS, PHP, and PowerShell (ugh) do, but the language design philosophy protects it from a great number of those issues that crop up so frequently in scripting contexts. PEP 8 and PEP 20 are examples of this philosophy making itself present in the very earliest days of Python's development. With the recent introduction of formal type annotations to Python 3, I hope to see far more robust static analysis tools make themselves present in the Python ecosystem as time goes on.

As far as deprecating printf-style inline formatting goes, I think the __format__ protocol offers substantially more utility, readability, and predictability to string interpolation in Python. I'd be curious to know why you consider avoiding it a mistake.

There are 8 string operators in python that allow you to manipulate strings.

Zduplikowane rekordy SRV kontrolerów domeny

W Windows Server 2016 i nowszych usługa serwera nazw (DNS) wspiera rejestrację rekordów SRV uwzględniając wielkość liter w nazwie hosta (case-sensitive). O czym wiele osób przekonało się wkrótce po wprowadzeniu nowej wersji systemu operacyjnego do środowiska Active Directory.

Kontrolery domeny działające pod kontrolą systemu Windows Server 2016 lub nowszych, których nazwy zawierają jedną lub więcej wielkich liter w nazwie, mogą rejestrować rekordy SRV zawierające tylko małe litery, gdy usługa serwera nazw, z której korzystają jest uruchomiona w systemie Windows Server 2012 R2 lub starszym, a dodatkowo rekordy zawierające mieszane lub wyłącznie wielkie literami, gdy serwer nazw jest uruchomiony na Windows Server 2016 lub nowszym.

Powodowane jest to obsługą rozróżniania wielkości liter w przesłanym w żądaniu rejestracji informacjach RDATA do serwera DNS.

Czy zduplikowane rekordy mogą być szkodliwe?

W większości wypadków nie będzie to miało większego wpływu na dostępność usługi ani wydajność kontrolerów domeny. Niemniej te kontrolery domeny, które zarejestrują lokatory usług podwójnie będą występować dwukrotnie częściej na liście serwerów przy zapytania klientów (więcej o mechniźmie DC Locator). To z kolei może oznaczać nadmierną utylizację serwerów z powielonymi rekordami, nierównomierny rozkład klientów oraz generować opóźnia w obsłudze żądań klientów domeny.

Poniższy zrzut ekranu prezentuje zduplikowane rekordy SRV _kerberos zarejestrowane przez kontroler domeny o nazwie PFE-DC1 (zawiera wielkie litery). 

Kolejny przykład zawiera rekordy SRV _ldap zarejestrowane przez ten sam kontroler domeny. 

Przyznacie, że sprawa wygląda nieciekawie? Co w tej sytuacji zrobić? 

Powyższe zachowanie serwera DNS, na którym rejestrowany lub odświeżany jest rekord jest poprawnym zachowaniem dla Windows Server 2016 i nowszych. Zatem jest to “problem”, a nie problem. Klienci dysponujący wsparciem mogą otworzyć zgłoszenie i otrzymają prywatną poprawkę (private fix).  

Docelowo, w marcowym zbiorczym pakiecie poprawek oraz towarzyszącym mu wydaniu szablonów administracyjnych zasad grup znajdzie się nowe ustawienie, które pozwoli zablokować rejestrację zdublowanych rekordów.

Nowe ustawienie dostępne będzie w następującej ścieżce: 

Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Net Logon\DC Locator DNS Records\Use lowercase DNS host names when registering domain controller SRV records

I będzie stosowane domyślnie (czyli nawet wówczas, gdy nie będzie skonfigurowane (Not configured)). 

Do tego czasu zalecana jest zmiana nazwy kontrolerów domeny, na taką która zawierać będzie tylko małe litery (tak, wspieramy to, choć w niektórych wypadkach należy pamiętać o dodatkowych czynnościach). Przy okazji warto zaznajomić się z dokumentacją, w pierwszej kolejności polecam artykuł Computer Naming, a następnie Naming conventions in Active Directory.

 A co z pozostałościami? Jeśli zgodnie z rekomendacjami stosujecie automatyczne czyszczenie stref z przestarzałych rekordów (scavenging), rekordy zostaną usunięte automatycznie. 

Jeśli nie stosujecie scavenging lub nie chcecie czekać na wyniki jego działania, możecie usunąć pozostałości samodzielnie. W dalszej części opiszę jak skryptowo wylistować oraz usunąć rzeczone zduplikowane rekordy. 

Jak sprawdzić jakie oraz ile rekordów SRV w mojej domenie zarejestrowano dla kontrolerów domeny z nazwami zawierającymi wielkie litery? 

Na potrzeby tego ćwiczenia przygotowałem skrypt PowerShell, który pozwala zidentyfikować rekordy SRV w strefie funkcjonalnej Active Directory (_msdcs). Skrypt można pobrać z mojego repozytorium lub skopiować poniżej.

Powyższy skrypt automatycznie wyświetla wyniki z podziałem na kontenery, w których znajdują się wykryte rekordy z wielkimi literami w nazwie.

Wówczas, sami zdecydujecie o tym, co dalej zrobić z wykrytymi rekordami. 

Uwaga:  Do poprawnego działania Active Directory niezbędne są odpowiednie strefy oraz rekordy DNS. Zalecam dużą dozę ostrożności i proszę nie róbcie niczego pochopnie, aby nie musieć naprawiać lub odzyskiwać środowiska!
