My ISP does not give me a static IP. It doesn’t change often, but in the rare case that it has changed I never discover it before I actually need it.

record. I didn’t want to bother with a thirdparty client from something like dyndns (and I didn’t want to pay for anything).
As I use Cloudflare as dns service for all domains I own I could just use their API and solve it with a oneliner, but doing it with Ansible is more readable

May 1st marks the start of Stikk Ut. A local initiative to get people up from their sofa and get outside.
As the last day of april had amazing weather I decided to jump start the whole thing. Last leg for the day was a drive through the Atlantic ocean road and a quick stop at Svevestien and Storseisundet

To change VM Size when your virtual machines are part of an availability set can be a pain in the Azure Portal. Especially if the new size you want is not available on your current cluster and the resources have to be moved as well.
The entire process is a lot easier to do with powershell
...Get-ADUser -SearchBase "ou=users,dc=contoso,dc=com" -Filter * -Properties Name, EmployeeNumber, UserPrincipalName, Manager | where {$_.Manager -eq $null} | ft Name, EmployeeNumber, UserPrincipalName, Manager
Because “Manager” is an extended attribute in Active Directory you can’t use -Filter {Manager -notlike “*“} like you would with basic attributes
