That's the real issue. It's probably paging more, as the tooling has increased in size (because it takes a physical slave-driver with a whip to stop developers from incrementally bloating code each release).
Yeah, guess it's time to bend over to Apple again... (It's a Mid-2012 13" MacBookPro with 4G and a 2.5GHz Core i5)

They flew him in so fast, they didn't even consider none of his strange Indian plugs will work here
Be careful; I've seen Indians resort to hotwiring mains sockets to work around that sort of thing. Fortunately, the idiot who tried it in front of me used the earth connection instead of neutral, tripped the ELCB for the entire floor of the building, and had a lot people telling him exactly why he should never do that again.

@tsaukpaetra Looks like the manifest file may be messed up. Like disk corruption messed up. Pretty sure a screwed manifest will prevent the exe from running...

Fun fact: there's not even supposed to be a manifest there. It's supposed to look like this:
(well, without ManagementStudio, that's put there from Visual Studio obs).
NFC why it decided the above was insufficient...
Edit: And deleting the manifest caused it to also delete SqlLocalDB.exe ? Imma gonna reset the box I think...

As I said, disk corruption. I'd do some pretty low-level scans on that sucker...

Nah, this is inside a virtualization overlay software, it's probably just being funky for some reason. The disk itself is fine.

Status: When the random contractors started the project that we've now inherited, they used a codebase they had written before, but decided to try out CosmosDB. They were excited about it. So now we have very database-specific code sprawling through our business logic, and are paying like 10x what we could be if we'd gone with boring ol' sql.
All I want is to isolate the database-specific code. I don't care about the rest. But of course there isn't any "business value" to your code not being awful.

Because it's an NVMe SSD, I don't have to worry about disk corruption, right?

@tsaukpaetra port 80 is probably the second-most blocked port, after 25.

@tsaukpaetra He made the distinction between inbound and outbound; you might be misinterpreting. It sounds like he's trying to connect from home to a VPN running on port 80 elsewhere. Though it could be interpreted either way.
(The port scanning comment is extra confusing and lends some credence the other way. Clearly communication skills are poor with this one.)

No, he's clearly talking about running VPN into his house over port 80, did it wrong (or likely not at all) and "broke the internet".
Also, looks like he's in a peen measuring contest for some reason...

@tsaukpaetra DNS is port 53 UDP.
If you really want to send traffic your ISP won't mess with, send it over port 443. No ISP blocks 443 outgoing, and even my old MilwaukeePC connection allowed it incoming.

You don't have to tell me that. Actually, I once (accidentally) forwarded my router's DNS server out for the internet, and Cox politely told me I could be hacked. How nice of them!

@tsaukpaetra There is not a single part of the conversation that is not
Edit: I honestly think he's trolling you. "1 Gbps is $67 therefore 10 Gbps would be $10 more." "If I put two 10G switches on a dedicated 10G line, I'll get 20G." Maybe you've made your incredulity too obvious and now he's just seeing what he can get away with. Probably a case of Poe or no, though. (That rhymes.)

I would like to bend over to Apple again, as my laptop is in dire need of replacement. Mid-2011 13" MBA with 4 GB and 1.8 Ghz i7. And my work laptop is too large for comfortable portability. I can move it from location to location, but not fun to work with on the move. (15" HP)

@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

That is correct. Though not by that much these days; what with AES-NI and such, encryption's overhead is becoming close to negligible.

Status: Tired as all hell. I think I've picked up some minor head cold dealie which is also making my throat hurt a bit and throwing my voice off (as these tend to do to me). Did a shot of Dayquil before heading into the office. Hoping that helps, otherwise today's gonna be really unpleasant.
Urrrrrrgh. Whatever this is made last night really unfun. Kept waking myself up because my sinuses would simultaneously block up and feel like they started to drain into the back of my throat, which would cause a reflexive snort/snore/throatclear, which isn't helping it not be sore.
Probably also doesn't help that the temperature dipped a bit again, so the heat is on and made the room stuffy and dry as hell.

What messed-up compression algorithm are you using that needs a variable amount of memory?

Windows sees that there's a Documents item there, but I guess it raw-checks it and misses that it's a junction? So it tries to create a Documents folder, but can't because there's already a Documents item there, so it creates a Documents (1) folder? Which will never actually get written to by anything?

Ended quite nicely, got a 4.6GB file from a 13GB folder.
To see how well Windows' default disk compression did, I decided to mount a fresh VHD and copy it into the image. Something went wrong, I made it 15GB (just to be safe) and instead Windows seems to have broken. Anything that doesn't need disk access to continue functioning (e.g. Task manager) is fine. Everything else is stuck waiting on IO I guess, because there's no disk activity yet things like Chrome are stuck saying "waiting for cache".
Apparently the Ctrl-Alt-Del handler is a separate program (putting money in it being a Universal AppX), because even hitting the panic combo fails to do anything. Goddammit Windows, how could you break that? Whatever.

Status: What the bloody fuck???!?!
Something is lying to me here...
Edit: Hrm... Reformatted, did not enable compression, copied over the folder, then enabled compression (this time it needed Admin privs?) and now:
This almost deserves investigation, but since it didn't save me nearly the same amount of space I probably won't and just say "Yeah, we'll distributed the standalone package as a 7z file".
-
@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.
