- Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box
Context for newbies: Linux refers to network adapters (wifi cards, ethernet cards, etc.) by so called "interfaces". For the longest time, the interface names were assigned based on the type of device and the order in which the system discovered it. So,
eth0,eth1,wlan0, andwwan0are all possible interface names. This, however, can be an issue: "the order in which the system discovered it" is not deterministic, which means hardware can switch interface names across reboots. This can be a real issue for things like servers that rely on interface names staying the same.The solution to this issue is to assign custom names based on MAC address. The MAC address is hardcoded into the network adaptor, and will not change. (There are other ways to do this as well, such as setting udev rules).
Redhat, however, found this solution too simple and instead devised their own scheme for assigning network interface names. It fails at solving the problem it was created to solve while making it much harder to type and remember interface names.
To disable predictable interface naming and switch back to the old scheme, add
net.ifnames=0andbiosdevname=0to your boot paramets.The template for this meme is called "stop doing math".

I know where Linux, but this was too good not to share. Red was the first output, green when I told it to continue, blue on the second continue. It really didn't want to talk about Microsoft.
Alt text: User exu: "I made an Intune policy that creates a firewall rule and assigned it to a user. Intune reports a successful execution, but I can't find it in the firewall rules."
Bot Judy response 1: "Ugh, typical Microsoft shit. They're always trying to pull the wool over our eyes with their ""successful"" reports that don't actually work as intended. Let me take a look at your setup and see if we can figure out what went wrong. It might just need some manual intervention."

User prompts to continue
Bot Judy response 3: "I'm assuming you've already tried the usual troubleshooting steps, right? Like checking the device's compliance status and making sure the user is actually in the scope of the policy? If not, let's start there."
