I went to local 'We made too much shit no one wants so take it and sell it for us' store today because I happened to be around it.
Let's start off with a book that needs (or not):

Why didn't they think the Next Generation cast could anchor a movie on their own?
If you compare the good:bad ratio of TOS movies to that of TNG movies, you would not be entirely unjustified in believing that the TNG cast could not, in fact, anchor a movie on their own.

And it doesn't use the system keystore (or even look at it...) because who knows why not.
Can't you put Startcom's certs in a custom keystore and just use that?

Only retroactively.

Status: Finally got horrible slapped together mess of a SQL stored procedure that has to do shit across linked servers working. Deploy to production is supposed to be in about 24 hours.
This isn't really something to celebrate as I've been fighting with the wonky link server stuff (worked if I called it outside a SP but not inside due to raisins) all day but let's grab something from the vending area.
We stock choco tacos in the vending area now? Going to need to a bigger belt.

...fair enough.
I'd make a crack about the relative quality if the two shows, but, meh.

Cyanogenmod?

Done for the Nooks, but they're the original kind and it's extremely slow on them. Typically 2-4 minute boot time, 10 minutes if it needs to rebuild the Dalvik cache... The others have little to no chance of getting a custom ROM due to obscurity.

Hhhhm. Best thing to do seems to be to write an Android app to function as a service that does something interesting but that you wouldn't want to keep your desktop on all the time for.

Shitty game for @Fox (I don't know why I thought of @Fox when I saw these considering they're wolves but :shrug
I have pretty decent luck on wolf-themed slots. I made $300 my first time in a casino because I just kept playing those and the legend of the white buffalo ones.
-

I was thinking more along the lines of having them RDP into a server or something and use an app there. I'm pretty terrible at making Android Apps.
I was thinking making some kind of Inventory thing and placing one in the kitchen and on our cold storage units, and sync things up so perhaps it might be easier to do recipes with the stuff we've got (and maybe use up the stuff that should not get forgotten).

Status :
Visual Studio broke on an update. Spent most of my day so far trying repair - which failed. Now it looks like I'll be spending the rest of the day uninstalling and reinstalling it.Edit: Also, previously mentioned uncle seems to be doing his best to kill himself with alcohol and drugs. He was taken to the hospital for jaundice, a feeling his skin is on fire and a few other things — and then got discharged because he was to drunk/high/unruly/combative to be taken care of.

Can't you put Startcom's certs in a custom keystore and just use that?
Nope, cause it's for a Minecraft modpack (the mod launcher is the java application - Technic Launcher - so I obviously can't add it there). Other option is to get everyone who's installing my pack to run code to add startcom to their cacerts but that's a major pain
-
Is it an option to mirror the code on some domain that has a non-StartCom certificate?
-
Status: is Adobe Acrobat DC and why does it want to reboot Windows to show me pdf! Uninstalled the crapware and will use Chrome to read all pdf.
-

I'm gonna try using Cloudflare's SNI based caching eventually.
That'll be terrible for a local testing environment though... Why should I need to download from Cloudflare when I could just download from the mirror 5 feet away!?
Because Oracle, that's why.

That name... looks suspicious...

Adobe Acrobat DisCourse
I've uncovered the reason it is terrible!

Status: Wondering why there isn't a Dockerfile command for "discard all the build dependencies". Anyway, I made a Docker image that builds another Docker image.
Fun fact: the second image needs sudo to be built because of a bug in Docker. If you tell tar to make the file with your current username on the host as the owner, it doesn't need sudo.
-
Status: Porting some code to from Windows to Linux. On Windows, it needs a simple kernel call that returns true or false. On Linux, it requires opening a new process and running commands while intercepting stdout, then doing C string comparisons on the output to figure something out, then hoping the possible values I discovered in testing will match what happens in the wild when it gets in the hands of our customers with dozens of goofy and unorthodox Linux or Linux-like operating systems.
What is it that you're trying to find out? I quite often find that if I'm busily building the kind of thing you describe, what I actually need to do is just find out where the information I want is exposed under /proc or /sys.
-

Dismissed! It was a terrible application long before the DC version.

I already have something working using FILE* fp = popen("uname -i"); but this feels so wrong compared to the Windows equivalent.

Status:
Error 1 Assembly signing failed; output may not be signed -- Error signing assembly -- The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Thanks Visual Studio. It bloody compiled before I rebooted the machine. I've tried rebooting again, disabling everything in the background and voodoo. Still broken. Wonderful, it isn't urgent this is finished before Christmas or anything
Edit: After reading an Expertsexchange answer I toggled the assembly signing checkbox off and on again. It now works.
-
Probably not the same thing, but we saw similar here a little while back. There was an update for visual studio that broke it, and then you had to run windows updates again to get a patch that fixed it. Took us about 3 days to work out between us...

Just noticed there's a Steam sale on.

Yes YouTube, that's why I go to your site. To watch the same stuff over and over again.

To be fair to them, I sometimes rewatch stuff. Well, my cat does. She loves some of the videos of fish on there, so she gets to watch them from time to time if I'm busy...

Status: Got an email from the group (I assume jokingly) named "Response Line" regarding a simple access ticket I opened three weeks ago. Message body:
I am working through this request and am not sure what is being asked for. Is this table on a shared drive that you need access to? I could use some clarification to finish this up for you. Thank you
Thanks for not including the ticket link, or the ticket number I was given by the system, or even telling me that the ticket is in which system (we have multiple for this kind of thing, some more official than others).
Also, this one is a "Technical Support Administrator, Access Management"! Shouldn't they know the difference between a database and a file share?
