Chrome/Brave would crash the instant they crossed the 3GB barrier.
Meanwhile, over here in 2023, one of my games crashes when it gets to ~60 GB, because it pushes total system usage to 63.whatever GB. I really need to upgrade to 128 GB, but I can't do that without discarding the 64 I already have.
Then it will crash at a total system usage of 127.whatever GB. And you'd have to discard those fresh 128 GB in order to upgrade to 256 GB. Continue ad nauseam.
Probably, because I'd add more DLC until I exceeded the capacity again.
However, right now, it just needs a little more RAM. The last time I played, a few weeks ago, it would get right to the verge of crashing before the memory optimization mod did its thing and the memory usage would drop to 30 GB or so. Then something changed, and now it crashes before the mod can discard the assets it doesn't need.
Apparently the mod updated to the next version of Chrome

The
bestworst part of this fucking timeline is that I've now legitimately used the iPhone equivalent to screenshot-select text on websites that are so broken with JS that I cannot directly select it.

@topspin they have CSS now to explicitly disable text selections. Worst. Timeline. Ever.

Oh, that's where they do that on purpose. But there's a whole bunch of bullshit that manages to do that on accident.
Like medium (or was it some wordpress theme garbage?) pages that display a little "popup" when you select text, to give you the option to
queeftwix the text, but thereby removing the actual selection. Fuckers.

I was so bored at work this morning that I mentioned my availability in scrum.
They gave me a task that took 45 minutes to complete. So now I'm bored again.
I'm stuck at the office until a useless meeting at 2pm.
I guess I'll work on my Tetr
isominoes game some more.

You could replace the key switches with actual dogshit and they still wouldn't be the worst thing about that keyboard.

I'm afraid dogshit doesn't go CLACK-CLACK-CLACKETY-CLACK. I suppose you could, but it'll take away from your wpm, FPS and k/d ratio considerably.

Yes, the worst thing is the bunch of neckbeard suckers who bought into it with both hands and all 10 fingers.

Status Well that sucks. I think I'm going to have to RMA the new motherboard I got. It just boot-loops right after the splash screen. And only recognizes one of the 3 M.2 slots. I've tried with two different sets of RAM and everything.
Plus it turns out the CPU cooler I got was monstrously large. To the point it makes doing anything around it horrible. And the fans are held on with these stupid wire clips that just don't work right.
At least I was able to re-assemble my old machine.
After some extremely unsafe (electrostatically) bodging, it seems that I, as usual, am . I got it to work after reinstalling everything. I figured out the wire clips as well--turns out they mixed small ones (which is what you need) and large ones (which don't fit unless you're doing something weird). When installed correctly, it works as expected.
At first I thought it wasn't reading my m.2 slots...but then I realized I didn't actually have them pushed in far enough. So yeah. Works well enough. no RMA unless something goes horribly wrong when I actually put it all in the case and do it formally tomorrow.
Because today involved
- a spare PSU
- no case
- the power button from another spare case (too small to fit the motherboard, offlined for a different reason),
- and balancing the whole thing precariously in highly unsafe ways.

Thixotropic?
Viscoelastic?
Rheopectic?
Other?

I asked them to ls a directory on one of the vms and send me the output. I was sent three images of the output. The file i was looking for wasn’t there.

Configure the network routers to randomly blackhole TFTP packets for a few hours every day.

Aiui we're the only ones using it, and the firewall is automagiggered to only allow those packets in this lab Subnet. It would only be harming this group (of which I'm merely a visitor filling in for someone)

OK, then "improve security" by setting things to blackhole outside official working hours.

It's a 24hr rotation. Also, I don't personally have access, and intranet attacks to accomplish the same should probably be detected by IDS. In theory.
