The ongoing saga of the 'Ugly Duckling'—who resists transforming into a swan—unfolds with relentless twists and turns. Today, in the latest episode of this techno-drama, the new samba machine threw a curveball. It wasn't just Kerberos being its usual tricky self; AD, LDAP, and their partner-in-crime Kerberos all decided to join the fray. My day, a marathon of almost eight hours, was punctuated only by the occasional yerba mate break. This task, initially appearing straightforward, reveals its complexity with each passing day. Will success grace our efforts, or will this challenge continue to grow?
Moreover, to establish a dialogue between the old and new machines, I had to employ the age-old tactic of switching SELinux to standby. What new challenges await us tomorrow? Can I, the protagonist of this tale, navigate through this labyrinth of technical conundrums? Time and history will be the judges of that.
In these moments of mounting anxiety, where I berate myself for not being an omniscient entity like ChatGPT, I'm reminded of the bigger picture. My Aunt, battling through chemotherapy, puts everything into perspective. Whether a machine functions correctly or not pales in comparison to life's truly significant matters. Tomorrow, I'm back in the office, with a renewed focus. I need to see Glasgow, to remember what truly matters in the grand scheme of things.
