Magenta Construction

7:50AM - 7:01PM (11 Hours 11 Minutes)

3:05PM

Just received the Amazon package for the rental property in Kempville and I'm just going to open it up and plug it all in so I can start doing its updates and link my account so that I could set it up later on. So I will do that now.

3:46PM

Alright, one of the wireless modules updated to version 3.1.1

4:46PM

I'm just trying to get the main controller to connect, but I'm having some issues. I think I need to connect through it, actually.

5:21PM

Alright, so the device is set up and I'm just letting it do it's upgrade process. It was a bit difficult to get connected, probably because I was connecting through my network. I will have to change the main IP, but it looks like, at least in my online control panel, it's showing up. It's just showing up as offline. That should be okay because it's going through an upgrade process right now, so it's normal for it to go offline, and it takes probably 5-10 minutes for it to come back online. Should be good. I'm going to get back to doing some more Intune work here.

5:26PM

It seems to be online and it seems to be working with the connection now, probably the armada version is just too old, but it seems to be working.

5:35PM

I'm making a Win32 installer now because I found out what the issues were with all these small settings, and it's because we don't have Windows 11 Enterprise, so I have to convert them all to Win32 apps and deploy them. I've already written the scripts, so it's good now. I'm just going to copy all these assets and make them Win32 apps.

5:38PM

Alright, I made the WinToon packages, compiled them, and now I'm going to add them as an app, and add the detect tool.

5:50PM

I need to make a test group, I guess. I was hoping not to do that. I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to do that, but I will be able to test it. This is the best part,... ...to test it. Let's move this to the next group. ... Devices... ... 939, right? British.

5:52PM

Alright, I guess I should remove these settings from this computer, so that I can actually test this properly. Let's restart this bitch, and then I'll get to test it and see if that works. Then, while I wait for the computer to restart, I'll add the other package in as well. Actually, I'll wait for this to restart, because if I do that, it'll get too confused, and it won't know what the fuck it's doing.

6:05PM

All right, the computer is reset, so I will go ahead and create this. Uh-oh. Something happened here. There was an error. And the error went away. RPC call into an app, get log content, returned an error. No error message can be found. Check whether the error was signaled with an error object. Try adding this app again. Are you fucking kidding me? You fucked, like, really? You're gonna make me add it again, manually. Instead of fucking trying again yourself. Fuck, man. Like, absolutely fucking stupid. Kiss me off, man. I'll try to think about the last time I had a good time. Everyone's got somewhere to go. And they're gonna leave me here on my own. And here it goes. I'm just a kid. And life is a nightmare. I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid. Life is having more fun than me. What the hell is wrong with me? Just a kid. And nothing out of this happened to me. What a way I'm born. And I can't afford a sweetie. And I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid. I'm just a kid. Hey? You wouldn't be surprised if they don't want you to have hyphens in the name. You'd wanna have underscores or something. I'm just a kid. And life is a nightmare. I'm just a kid. I know that it's not fair. Nobody cares because I'm alone and the world is. Nobody wants to be alone in the world. I'm just a kid. And life is a nightmare. I'm just a kid. I know that it's not fair. Nobody cares because I'm alone and the world is. Nobody wants to be alone in the world. Nobody cares because I'm alone and the world is. There's nothing more important than me tonight. I'm all alone tonight. Nobody cares tonight. Because I'm just a kid tonight. For sensation. For people. I stumble through the wreckage. Rusted from the rain. There's nothing left to salvage. No one left to blame. Among the broken mirrors, I don't look the same. I'm rusted from the rain. I'm rusted from the rain. Dive sent me till my blood runs down into the drain. My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins. Nothing...

6:07PM

Switching back to the Homara setup. Oh, look at that, it's online again. I'm going to work on this while the syncing takes place on this other computer. And then I will restart the other computer. And yada yada yada, nobody cares. I'm talking to myself.

6:42PM

Alright, my brain's toast. I don't understand what's going on here. I'm doing between Omada. Application was not detected after installation completed successfully. Fuck, Intune sucks. I'm done for today. I can't. I get this script. I test it on the fucking computer. It works. I remove it. I deploy it with Action 1. It fucking works. I deploy it with Intune, and it doesn't fucking work. And no fucking error code, no feedback on the executed process, no nothing. Doesn't tell me sweet fuck all. So, I'm gonna wait to see if on its own, somehow, magically, because this seems to be the way that it fucking works. Somehow, magically, maybe it will fucking... maybe it'll start itself, and maybe it'll work. Tomorrow I'll open up the computer, and the wallpaper will just start to work. I don't fucking know. But I'm getting really fucking tired of playing this fucking cat-and-mouse game. Like, really, really fucking tired.

6:44PM

It downloaded the lock screen and it downloaded the desktop, it didn't set the registry for some reason.

6:51PM

I don't know. I have no fucking idea that both of them would fucking fail. They were there on Monday. So fucking depressing. Wait. I know what it could be. It could have installed into the WoW. Install in 32-bit context on 64, maybe. Okay, folder redirection. Installer sets the folder properties based on, okay, desktop folder. Yaddy yaddy yadda. We're not using a common file folder. But there's registry, too. Registry redirection. Permachine installation context, maybe. The following table compares the location of registry entries for the Permachine per user. That's MSI. By default. I've recently learned that Intune triggers Win32 application installation in 32-bit process context by default, but I've already deployed a couple applications and registry edits as packaged Win32 apps to my Windows 11 fleet. When I check the system, all the applications are installing to the 64 programs file, not the 32-bit one. And the registry keys are being added in my script to this specific path rather than WoW32. So what am I installing it as, then? Run script as 32-bit process on 64-bit client. Okay, so. Let's see this. Minsky local machine software. Wow. 64 or 32, no, I don't know why the fuck you guys would even do that. Microsoft. Where is this registry entry? It is Microsoft Windows current version. Microsoft Windows current version. I don't know. Fuck you, you did. That's why. That's why you put it in the fucking 64-bit context. Or 30. Okay. Why? Why? Why would it have done that? Why would I have done that? And. Why? Why? Okay. Run script as 32-bit process. Oh my God.

7:01PM

Man, my brain is toast. I think I found out. So... Microsoft used to always run it in 32-bit context. And now it seems they're choosing to run this script in 64-bit context because it's saving it in the wrong location. Which is why it's failing. And they didn't tell anybody it changed. Holy fuck, this is annoying.

7:01PM

Yeah, I'm done for today. I'm fucking tired.
