@ben_lubar said in The Official Status Thread:
@tsaukpaetra if you have a bunch of sparse files, that might be increasing the size of your compressed copy due to them not being sparse anymore when they get copied.
Oh, trust me, they're not sparse.
No, at most, up to 2kb sections of the .pak files may be filled with zeroes due to poor chunk alignment, but that only really happens in a few of them due to holding many small files that don't fit contiguously (the level load order is apparently more important than packing efficiency).
Besides, the second result clearly indicates sparse files aren't the problem.

No, I gained 10.5GB from somewhere, courtesy Windows.

Better than me yesterday. In the early evening the C: drive had a bit over 50 GB free. Fastforward to the end of the evening, right as I was preparing for bed. Windows pops up notification saying a harddrive was running out of space. C: was down to 3.2 GB free. I even tried uninstalling a program I wasn't using anymore and I ended up with less free space after (2.5 GB). Although as Windows had updates pending, that may be responsible, although why would Windows Update suddenly decide to need 50 GB?
-
@atazhaia I had similar a while back. I could watch my disk space dwindling in front of my eyes.
In my case, it was an automatic application update that didn't let me know it had failed and instead added a few lines to a log file and immediately tried again. Over and over for days until I found a 50GB log file that was still growing.

That sounds like just its memory requirement…

Status Don't feel so good (bootstrap routine only succeeded partially, plus headache and minor gastrointestinal pain). Still at work--as a teacher, being gone is more work than showing up. Especially when I'm running labs today. Thankfully I only have 3 classes and it's a long weekend.

Who's the fucking genius who decided converting a lounge area in an open office environment into a conference room with video conferencing was a good idea? I think I need to talk to my boss and turn into a permanent work-from-home person. Yes, this "conference room" is about 20ft away from me.Group standups are bad enough in open office layouts - but a fucking conference room?!?!

@izzion said in The Official Status Thread:
@heterodox
Uh, shouldn't that be translated as: "PASS"Not really. If they can get into the enclave another way (say, compromising the application then escalating privileges), they could find that the servers are configured in a hideously insecure way or something. But they don't have the time and we don't have the money for them to develop a zero-day or whack at it for months. So we have to figure out how to implant them far enough in that they can do an assessment but not in such an unrealistic way that we have a totally invalid scenario.
Basically, we want them to be in a position to find something if there's something to find. Better them than someone else.

@hungrier Do you have this in your web.xml?

@heterodox More specifically, I have to know if something is empty because it just started existing, or because it was empty already when loaded. In Typescript.

We have one of these horrendous team meetings that last like two hours and everyone is pretending they aren't bored shitless most of the time.
Near the end there was like 20 minutes left and as I am a bit of a madman like our lord and saviour Trump. I did the unthinkable.
I suggested three things:
- use typescript because you writing horrible JavaScript code./
- use webpack because updating front end assets using you method is horrific and is unreliable at updating the front end.
- maybe look into Raven db for processing some of your data that is document based.
I got 2 and a half out of three (they are SQL Mental) which ain't bad.
Didn't have a huge amount of push back from the senior dev team because I think the recognise when it comes to front end I know my shit.
Next @Polygeekery is to make:
!important
A thing of the past for the company.

@lucas1 Also I wanna thank some of you.
While you didn't intend it. The shredding and arguing on here has made me so much better at arguing my case for things I wanna see implemented.
As I try to think though every argument before it happens.
Good stuff in the end.

@hardwaregeek The Director of ICT would have just rambled for 20 minutes. I like the guy (I regularly eat lunch with him).
But he does go on about stats for far too long. I care about JS / CSS / and front end stuff, so for once people cared and was positive about me making it easier and more reliable. But I sold it as saving time on deployment.

I mean, clearly not since the file is indeed there but msbuild is complaining about it.
Imma try the registry hack that enables that and return and report.

I can't, really. 90% of that path is auto-generated, and moving jobs around to make the job name shorter (basically, the only reasonable thing available to modify) is going to be highly annoying.
-
@tsaukpaetra Can't you just add
\\?\
to the beginning of the path?

@pie_flavor you need the machine name and then the path.

@lucas1 Not with that particular evil magic sequence.

@pie_flavor said in The Official Status Thread:

I'm wondering if you can shorten the name of the job. IIRC, Jenkins lets you give jobs a display name as well as a name, letting you call it
hyp_night_mc
on the disk while still showingHypatia Nightly Multijob - MasterServer and ChatServer
in the UI, a saving of 42 characters in filename length right there.
