Depending on the issue type, a workflow might be different.
Since for Software projects, the default workflow Story might not be appropriate during the workflow, it makes sense to convert it.
For issue types other than sub-task, the dropdown only has one conversion entry: “convert to sub-task” (a sub-task has only “Convert to Issue”).
In order to convert to other issue types, use the “Move” option. There in the first step, you can change the issue type.

Just so I remember this did not compile in Delphi XE8 a while ago:
[dcc32 Fatal Error] DisableAlignPropertyEditor.dpr(15): E2213 Bad packaged unit format: c:\program files (x86)\embarcadero\studio\16.0\lib\Win32\release\rtl.dcp.System.SysUtils - Expected version: 29.0, Windows Unicode(x86) Found version: 32.0, Windows Ansi(x86)
Possible starting point: “E2213 Bad packaged unit format” “Expected version” “Found version” “Windows Unicode” “Windows Ansi” – Google Search

Cool historic article: [WayBack] The Architecture of Open Source Applications: Sendmail by Eric Allman.
It is Chapter 17 of this book [WayBack]:
The Architecture of
Open Source Applications
Amy Brown and Greg Wilson (eds.)
ISBN 978-1-257-63801-7
I totally missed that book being published in 2014.
Great historic read!

A while ago, Google Drive told me it was out of storage.
I tried re-syncing, and then it suddenly told me a “Drive storage is full” message indicating “You have 3GB in your trash at drive.google.com. Empty your trash or upgrade your storage”.
You can view your trash at drive.google.com/drive/trash
Emptying is more tricky than you’d think:
The trash contained thousands of temporary PDF files: 3.2 GB, even more than Google Drive indicated.
These are not something I want to keep in the trash. Too bad Google Drive never warned me they were kept there.
On a different account that had way more file changes this saved more than 27 GB.
Maybe time to setup [WayBack] Google Drive Sensor | PRTG Network Monitor User Manual
Might be really interesting, as since 2015, [WayBack] PRTG 100 is Now Available For Free.

In [WayBack] How to remember password in FortiClient VPN? – Stack Overflow, the consensus seems to be “it varies, and usually is unreliable”.
Time to write a tool that snifs the Windows GUI and auto-enters the credentials.
That would be much like the Linux expect solution: [WayBack] Continuous run Forticlient VPN using expect. Automatically restart VPN if get disconnected or session closed. · GitHub

A long time I wondered why I saw ESXi systems on my local network have two entries in their /etc/hosts file:
[root@ESXi-X10SRH-CF:~] cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.71.91 ESXi-X10SRH-CF ESXi-X10SRH-CF
Then I bumped into someone who had a different setup:
[root@ESXi-X10SRH-CF:~] cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.23 esxi.dynamic.ziggo.nl esxi
So now I knew that the first entry can have a domain resolving it (it still makes be wonder why ziggo is using a top-level domain to resolve local stuff; but searching for dynamic.ziggo.nl did not get me further on that).
So I installed a quick ESXi machine on that local network, and got the same.
When back home the machine still thought it was esxi.dynamic.ziggo.nl, though clearly I was outside a Ziggo network
I wanted to get rid of it, but that was hard.
Since I forgot to take screenshots beforehand, I can only provide the ones without a search domain bellow.
Reminder to self: visit someone within the Ziggo network, then retry.
Normally you can edit things like these in the default TCP/IP stack. There are two places to change this:
Neither of these allowed me to change it to a situation like this, but luckily the console did.
In the below files, I had to remove the bold parts, then restart the management network (I did keep a text dump, lucky me):
[root@esxi:/etc] grep -inr ziggo . ./vmware/esx.conf:116:/adv/Misc/HostName = "esxi.dynamic.ziggo.nl" ./resolv.conf:2:search dynamic.ziggo.nl ./hosts:5:192.168.71.194 esxi.dynamic.ziggo.nl esxi [root@esxi:/etc] cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.71.3 search dynamic.ziggo.nl [root@esxi:/etc] cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.71.194 esxi.dynamic.ziggo.nl esxi

This LSI 3008 HBA update to TI firmware is still on my wish list, but I could not find it when I bought the board in 2018.
[WayBack] Supermicro Single CPU Board for ESXi Home lab – Upgrading LSI 3008 HBA on the X10SRH-CLN4F | ESX Virtualization:
As you know my lab got an addition this year with Supermicro’s Single CPU board, the X10SRH-CLN4F. In this post we will be upgrading LSI 3008 HBA on the X10SRH-CLN4F.
…
I have learned a new way to patch via UEFI. In fact, it’s same (or easier) than through DOS-based bootable USB. The IT firmware can be reverted back to IR firmware as in the ZIP package there are both versions there. So in case you need a server with hardware RAID, you can use the IR version. I was actually wondering what it means the IT and IR and here is what I have found at LSI (Avago) website:
“IT” firmware maximizes the connectivity and performance aspects of the HBA. “IR” firmware offers RAID functionality via RAID 0, 1, and 10 capabilities.
Via:
I just ran across this today – Supermicro posted new firmware on June 18, 2016 for the Avago/LSI 3008 SAS chip found on the X10SRH-CLN4F.
This version FINALLY pairs up with the driver version contained in the current version of FreeNAS 9.10.xxxx. P12 firmware is currently correct for the V13 driver in FreeNAS 9.10.3008_FW_PH12.00.02.00.zip
The step afterwards is to enable SR-IOV for this LSI 3008 HBA.
These links should help with that:

Reminder to myself to check out of the Tidy First? book by Kent Beck got out yet.
I discovered he was writing it after reading this tweet:
Like Extreme Programming, which I used before I even know about the term, Tidy First is my natural way of approaching code: step by step tidying small spots, so I get a feel on the why and how of the code. For me, tidying consists of very small refactorings. I am anxious to see what it means for Kent.

The Limbo song asks, “How low can you go?” Limbo is a strategy for scaling collaboration on software projects by reducing the size of changes to be merged and increasing the velocity and reach of propagation of changes.
As I got started with Tidy First?, my long-contemplated book on software design, I found myself in a sequence of oh-so-familiar situations. I realized that book writing has a rhythm for me. To help you quell the desire to write a book of your own, here are the steps.
