I hate that Microsoft doesn't allow a sane update policy.
I want workstations to automatically update, but DO NOT AUTO REBOOT MY SERVERS!
Let me schedule, orchestrate, and monitor my server reboots.
The only reasonable work-around appears to be setting auto updates through GPO, then disabling Windows Update service on the servers.
Home:
- Golang study
A bit.
Twenty-minute walk after work.
Dark. Slight snow flurries.

> Monday morning usually greets the world like the woman in this painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme. The figure of truth emerges from a well holding a scourge with which to shame and punish humankind. The image makes literal reference to a saying by the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC): “Truth lies at the bottom of a well." Some have interpreted the painting as a reference to the Dreyfus affair, while others discuss the it in the context of a quote by Gérôme that "thanks to photography, Truth has finally left her well.”

> A minced oath is a euphemistic expression formed by misspelling, mispronouncing, or replacing a part of a profane, blasphemous, or taboo term to reduce the original term's objectionable characteristics. Some examples include "gosh" (for God), "heck" (for hell), and "fudge" (for fuck).
