I teach databases some manners and train them to better serve their owners. I tweet my weird ideas here in an effort to avoid blurting them out in meetings.

“The perp took a swing at Turner’s wide stainless steel head, but the detective’s sharp reflexes and overseas training comfortably handled the attack.”

Crushed candy canes are great as a Christmas topping if you can't find any bits of shattered windshield in your neighborhood.

That’s just Larry Chicken’s opinion, man
550pm: Larry Chicken says we're getting up close to a half a foot of snow here in #Parkrose (NE Portland). Officially 5.3 inches so far, but accumulating fast. #orwx #wawx #pdxtst

Three days ago a massive, long-running botnet suddenly stopped tweeting Amazon affiliate links, and I wonder how long it’ll take for its operators to adapt and get the spam flowing again.

Google was too useful to survive, so I’ll blog it here: Perfect Forward Secrecy is not fully supported for bidirectional traffic on @Azure’s route-based site-to-site S2S VPN. You won’t be stopped or even warned if PFS is enabled, but the connection will run in ResponderOnly mode

An Azure route-based S2S VPN that improperly uses PFS can encounter seemingly intermittent outages as IPSec tunnels time out from inactivity. The only on-premises subnets that can be reached are those that regularly initiate traffic to Azure x.com/jefutte/status/6574676…

Replying to @AzureSupport
@AzureSupport IPSec tunnel disconnects after a while without traffic, when PFS is enabled, currently testing without PFS, seems to be ok

To determine whether your Azure VPN connection is currently using PFS, you need to download its security associations which show the actual IKEv2 policies it has negotiated with the on-premises device. Unlike other config info, the QuickModeSAs aren’t shown on the Azure web pages
