I see lot’s of negative reactions on FortiClient, as it is very closed source, many intermittent issues, and is a product that tries to be a jack of all trades (over a couple of versions, in addition of being a proprietary VPN client, they started doing vulnerability scanning, interfering with anti-virus products, they blocked saving of passwords and allowing password managers to paste them, and I could go on).
Sometimes you have to use it in order to access a FortiGate based VPN server, so the best is to defer starting it until as late as possible.
Here are some links to get that configured correctly:

[WayBack] Ryan James Spencer on Twitter:
“I wrote a quick Dockerfile so people who purchase Bite Size Networking from @b0rk can quickly have access to the tools. You can slim the image down to do debugging on docker networks once you get comfortable with which tools are most useful to you.”
He is planning to do more, so maybe a few of [WayBack] wizard zines get encapsulated into dockerfiles as well.

PS: [WayBack] Dockerfile | Docker Documentation
| # N.B. The only tool missing here that is mentioned in the document is `zenmap` | |
| # purely because this image is intended to be run via a CLI and `zenmap` is a GUI | |
| # to `nmap` i.e. one can play around with the tools by running: | |
| # | |
| # $ docker build –name bite_size_networking:latest . | |
| # $ docker run –rm -d –name bsn_test bite_size_networking:latest | |
| # $ docker exec -it bsn_test bash | |
| # | |
| # Alternatively, one can change the `ENTRYPOINT` to `["bash"]` and run: | |
| # | |
| # $ docker run -it –name bsn_test bite_size_networking:latest | |
| # | |
| # then later (after exiting the shell): | |
| # | |
| # $ docker start bsn_test | |
| # $ docker attach bsn_test | |
| # | |
| # One can also run this image on a docker network to capture packets and so | |
| # forth for debugging purposes. Once you've found the tooling that best suits | |
| # your needs, it may make sense to make a slimmed down version of this | |
| # Dockerfile and, if wireguard isn't needed, base this image off | |
| # `debian:stable` instead. | |
| # | |
| # Lastly, you can purchase Bite Size Networking or Julia's other fantastic | |
| # zines over at https://wizardzines.com/ | |
| # We use `unstable` here since we install `wireguard` below | |

There have been many more ESXi versions, that some of the time you want for regression, and some of the time because they are better.
Some of the times (like right now) you do also do NOT want a version, like the current ESXi 7.0 update 2 which got retracted on March 13th, but is still available on the free vSphere 7 evaluation.
I started to notice yesterday that a few folks in the community were running into the following error after upgrading their ESXi hosts to latest 7.0 Update 2 release: Failed to load crypto64.efi Fa…
UPDATE (03/13/2021) – It looks like VMware has just pulled the ESXi online/offline depot and has updated KB 83063 to NOT recommend customers upgrade to ESXi 7.0 Update 2. A new patch is actively being developed and customers should hold off upgrading until that is made available.
UPDATE (03/10/2021) – VMware has just published KB 83063 which includes official guidance relating to the issue mentioned in this blog post.

Warning! – Mar 13 2021 Update – Don’t upgrade to 7.0 Update 2 yet.
If you try to upgrade now anyway, you may experience one of these two errors:1) Using vLCM (Lifecycle Manager)
to update your ESXi host, you see this error:
Loading /boot.cfg Failed to load crypto64.efi Fatal error: 15 (Not found)2) Using ESXCLI
to update your ESXi host, you see this error:

There are many sites outside of VMware where you can get these versions, which you can validate by verifying their checksums.
Luckily, VMware has pages with checksums of the Offline Bundle files, so I have listed them below.

VMware ESXi 7 registration fails on Chrome
The “free-esxi#” pages are the only place where you can register for and view your ESXi licenses, as they are not part of my.vmware.com/group/vmware/my-licenses (that would make it easy, but that’s not how VMware is a corporate).
It really is the only place, and the documentation is buried deep in the KB pages: [Archive.is] Downloading and licensing vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi 6.x & 7.x) (2107518).
If you get “content not avaiable” while registering for ESXi 7 [Wayback] maintenance.vmware.com/info4.html?source=dwnp&p=free-esxi7 by clicking on the “Register” button on [Wayback] my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi7 …
The dreaded register button.
Content Not Available
Dear user, the web content you have requested is not available.
… then remember that VMware has been as corporate as banks for years, which means that their web-sites only work properly in a limited set of browsers. Chrome is not one of them any more, but Firefox seems to for for me.
I am not alone bumping into this, many have and the site has been working/failing for years, for instance back in 2019: [Wayback] Is there still a free version of ESXI that is not … – VMware Technology Network VMTN

I could not find a syntax for “current changeset”, but since cm log accepts the output of cm status as changeset identifier:
for /F "tokens=*" %l in ('call cm status --nochanges') do (call cm log %l --itemformat )
Or in batch file form:
for /F "tokens=*" %%l in ('call cm status --nochanges') do (call cm log %%l --itemformat )
Two important parts of the trick that ensure each command only outputs what is needed:
--itemformat specification for cm log indicates that no details about files should be logged.Without it, cm log will list both the changeset information and information about each item in the changeset.--nochanges for cm status: it only shows the status line, and no other changes.Without it, cm status will emit one line per changed file.–jeroen

It took me a file to figure out another cause for “F2063 Could not compile used unit“, this was for a 3rd party library that had parts of the units as source files, but other parts as DCU files.
The offending unit only had DCU files, and those were in the path.
It finally occurred to me that I had a project having a DCU for the wrong Delphi version in the path.
That version check is easy to do: the 4th byte of a unit contains the CompilerVersion value with which the DCU file was compiled, and should be used with:
The first entry is for CompilerVersion value 31 (for hexadecimal value $1F) which corresponds with Delphi 10.2 Tokyo.
The last last is for CompilerVersion value 32 (for hexadecimal value $20) which corresponds with Delphi 10.3 Rio.
All versions are in Delphi version info table: C# Builder, Delphi 8 through 10.3 Rio and Appbuilder.
