status i knocked water onto my keyboard. Almost works except right shift produces a capitial a and alt-tab causes an os shutdown.
In the name of science, I would do it to the expensive m2 laptop work gave me but then I would have to go back to windows vms. I would have more time for shit posting waiting for local builds though.

Brace yourself.

@Tsaukpaetra my naive interpretation of those words would indicate a circle, filled in with a pattern of two sets of lines, one at 45 degrees from vertical, the other at 315 degrees, overlaid to form a cross hatch pattern to fill said circle.

Buy meat.
Hash it.
Form a circle with the hash.
Bake it at 360 degrees.
Enjoy your meal!

Status: YouTube just embiggened the thumbnails. Now there’s like 2.5 thumbnails visible on the whole screen.
Someone here complained about that some time ago, but it was still normal sized for me an hour ago.
They also put an inline section for shorts, which I quite like because it keeps them from being peppered throughout my subscription page, in between things I may actually want to watch
-
@DogsB said in The Official Status Thread:
Also youtube has forced shorts into the subscribed area. I actually had to learn how to use ublock to block it.
They had them in there for a while, but now they're in their own section that I can just scroll past, instead of land mines strewn around the actual videos

@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:
open it in a new tab (so it doesn't autoplay) and edit the URL to play it as a normal, non-short video.
I made myself a userscript to do that

Hash it.Instructions unclear. The meat now looks like this:

@BernieTheBernie A hash algorithm with only a single defined output is very good at obscuring the input, but I would suggest has other issues. Though it would run very fast.

What a stupid control
Isn't it ported straight from the legacy MFC classes? Very ugly.
It doesn't take long to think that it's an accident that anything in any UI works at all.
ListBox has a little thought put into it, at least insofar as letting you subclass and draw stuff differently. It could be smarter about its item management. But then comes something like DGV that should've been sealed for how much of a fight alter any of its behavior is. It just doesn't expose enough to replace the scrollbar controls with native scrollbars and get the same behavior. I'm so close but so far away every time I try.
-
@BernieTheBernie said in The Official Status Thread:

That's a very hot oven.
-
@HardwareGeek it might be 360 degrees F though?
-
@Arantor Or 360 K, which might kill most of the bacteria in the hash, eventually. It is slightly above the "safe" internal cooking temperature for meat.

I know it from asian countries, where water tanks are installed on top of the house, and the sun heats it up. But you are in the US, do you also need big local water tanks there in order to cope with shortages?

If the emperor is naked, can we at least get one that’s not as fat and unpleasant to look at?

No, we don't have a separate tank. Despite the ongoing drought.

Minimum 400, without disks.

Better to spend the money on a decent gacha game. At least that will only result in your spending eventually being power crept away, instead of your spending destroying important data at the most inopportune time.

@Applied-Mediocrity Yesterday's mystery continues.
I was looking to just buy a grid control. One of the sites had some articles about speeding up loading data in the meantime (besides the scrolling problems, there is a huge lag displaying the window). Everybody says turns off autosizing. There are four default autosizers - column (width, can include headers), row (height, can include headers), columnheaderheight, rowheaderwidth.
Well, this site says turning the WM_REDRAW message off and on around setting the datasource works.
Narrator: It doesn't.
Now, you'd think row would be the most expensive, having to loop over every row (and every column). Wrong. Turns out, the one you'd expect to be the least expensive, rowheaderwidth, is actually what balloons 100 records from half a second to 30 seconds.
I still might buy this one grid control. $300 license includes the source. I'm sure I've wasted $300 on dumber stuff.

Depends on the size, i.e., the number of disks you can plug into it. And each disk also usually costs separately unless you're going to the very consumer-grade tier stuff. Last time I acquired a couple, they were well over a thousand each, but they were big boys capable of holding 12 disks. (I didn't have any rack space, so I couldn't go larger.) That particular model appears to be a bit cheaper now.
A 2-bay Synology won't cost you too much. (Internally, it's Linux running Samba. No idea what customisations there are.)
-

Yeah, technically you could get away with a raspberry Pi and a flash drive, at the risk of, you know, losing everything at the whim of the Pixies.

I have one of those. Don't remember what I paid tho. It's performed very nicely. (I also have my printer shared from it)

I tried to attach USB storage to my router, officially it supports that.
And it.
But usually not beyond a reboot. Linux andsync

£200ish for a 4-bay QNAP. More for a 4-bay Synology. Plus disks.
I've got a 4-bay Netgear that's worked faultlessly for 8 years but they don't seem to make them any more.

The network admins had us on a /24 (or whichever gives about 250 ipv4 addresses). And we (not realizing it) tried to do setup on about 250 hardware boxes being prepared to ship out. Over the course of about an hour. Yeah... That didn't work very well.
It was supposed to auto upgrade when it ran dry... That failed.
Thankfully the network goons are responsive and upped us to a /16.
