Status: Windows 10 Anniversary Update on my home desktop. I forgot how long "this will take a while" actually took, as I'm at nearly an hour since telling it to restart and install.

You know that when Windows is counting file size total, files with multiple hard links got multiple-counted?
Btw, it's also the standard behaviour in *.nix systems because that's how hardlink works (even though they points to the same bytes, they're seperate files).

Hard links are . Why use hard links and mount folders inside themselves? Are you trying to blow up your software?

Well, it makes you be able to have 1TB data on 500GB harddisk. Are you happy with that?

If you mount a folder inside itself, your filesystem can store infinite data!

For this reason Windows only support hardlink creation for files but not directories.

Status Just took one of those dumb online quizzes, you know the ones that ask one question per page as an excuse to serve you 63531 ads per page. This quiz was supposed to guess where I lived based on my answers. Its guess was only off by two states. The ads, on the other hand, knew exactly where I was, including political ads for my congressional district.

Well of course each giggitybyte consists of 9 bits. 8 bits for data, and a ninth for cloaking.

I think I remember that XP used to do that sometimes, but no desktop OS from Microsoft any more recently than that.

almost done with phase one of "Accalia gets a full offsite backup<supTM"
previously i havent bothered keeping a full backup of everything offsite, just the absolutely irreplaceable stuff because of expense.
I just got crashplan (because it looks sharp, has a decent webinterface, and clients for windows and linux (something that a lot of other options lacked) and am now in the process of backing up 14TB of data from my local NAS to crashplan.
current backup set is 4TB and is my
/home
directory on the NAS. that is 98% complete.next backup set i'm bringing online is the
/backups
share all my other PCs drop their backups to. that's another 4TB.then i will backup
/plex
at 6TB/downloads
can remain un backed up offsite because anything still in there is not something i plan on keeping forever and, in fact have probably forgotten is even there.so yay! instead of only having about 2 gig of irreplaceable data backed up properly i'll have basically my entire network backed up properly!

I got my first Win10 BSOD yesterday morning. Critical Structure Corruption, whatever that means, complete with a QR code with more information one could presumably scan with one's phone and send to somebody who would then ignore it. First time I've ever seen that.
Other status: I forgot my phone when I went to work yesterday, so I had no way to scan the code, and no access to TDWTF all day. :(

I get one about one in 5 times I wake from sleep. Not sure if it's a sign my graphics card is on the way out, or just shitty drivers that don't work in 10.
I solved it by setting the power options to hibernate instead of sleeping. With an SSD, there's not much difference in waiting time

@accalia i use daily to use crashplan. It constantly stopped working. That was a bit over a year ago. I've got backblaze now and it just works for me.

Status: Played two games yesterday.
Lots of Xenoverse 2, and a bit of Dragon Nest.
Dragon Nest is running a nice Halloween event that makes Saint's Haven look awesome. More importantly, they let you create a character and rush to 80 by watching cutscenes and fighting really easy enemies! So I have an Inquisitor again.
Now that that's out of the way, XENOVERSE!
It's awesome. Every battle is more frantic, and it just feels better. The maps are considerably better looking, and the animations are smoother - the world is more complicated, and there's just generally more to do. I didn't manage to bring over the items I liked best (I didn't have them equipped), but I brought over some good ones.
Last night I went to bed after getting slaughtered by Metal Cooler. I will try again today, and I WILL WIN.

Status Happy birthday to me!

well it's working well for me right now. backs up reliably, emails me daily when it hasn't had my server connect in more than 24 hours, test restores are flawless so far. if it ever fails any of my standard monthly tests i'll look at alternatives again.

Status: It's Friday, the weekend before Halloween, ripe for the weird stuff to happen.
Case in point, we just had someone stop by our office to give us a card letting us know of an open house for a mortuary.
The building where they are located used to be a restaurant for a client of ours that closed that location not too long ago.

@blakeyrat and I came to the conclusion that it's just Skyrim minus Steam Workshop support plus fart clouds and full screen blur.

Hmmm. Was this supposed to be automatic? Mine still says it's the old version.
Edit: scratch that. The library page says it's the old one but the jump menu says it's the special edition. Seems it has to install 12 gigs before it's ready, though.
-
You only get it for free you have all the DLC though.
EDIT: should learn to read the rest.
-
@lucas1 I had all that but I didn't realise it was a different game with a separate Steam page.
It's installed now but apparently it's much more demanding on the PC and your achievements don't carry over so not sure how much it'll get played!
-
@coldandtired It isn't save game compatible (I had 1 mod installed which is the HD textures and it won't copy my save game over).
-
@coldandtired said in The Official Status Thread:

But it has one thing in its favour: it's a 64-bit build, making it more able to use the whole resources of modern machines.
-
@dkf CPU resources were never really a problem. I was running Ultra on a Core 2 Duo E6750 machine with 4gb of ram, and it never got past 1 gb in resource usage.
