@Tsaukpaetra no, I mean turning things into MKV.
I have no idea. Does it require a ton of fiddling in order to rip bluray disks?
Edit: The answer is no, you can't rip bluray disks with Handbrake.
I have a bluray player in my computer. Guess what it can't play (let alone rip). Fucking patents.
Are you sure in this case the blame is with the patents and not the DRM?

@Rhywden we got them. Well, the rain without the thunder, which is actually preferable.
Maybe I can actually get some sleep tonight. Allergies and a sudden heat spike don’t go well together.Yeah, I feel you. Our school's groundskeepers decided that today was a good day to mow all the grass. *achoo*

Pretty sure. I seem to remember the issue is the codecs. Could be DRM too... Ok, let me amend: Fucking patents and DRM.

Attempt 2: You good. Done.I thoroughly enjoy the fact that the "update assistant" claims my PC is not compatible because it has less than 2 GB of RAM, and thus it's impossible to run Windows.
Edit: Goes without saying that, yes, it is indeed running Windows 10.

I got past that one on attempt 1. It downloaded and got to about 80% installed before it went "OMG I can't do this!!!!"
Oh, and I forgot to mention, the assistant got so freaked out about that that I couldn't close it. Reboot. (didn't want to kill it in case it actually did some weird cleanup on close)

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
status: apparently, shoving over three amps of power into a battery qualifies as "charging slowly"…
But that's 3 amps *at
5V USB bus voltage4.2V*. For fast charge, your phone expects your charger to switch up to 9, 15, or 20 volts, and it can pull an amp or two at one of those.@Zerosquare 3% is the battery's state of charge, but the numbers beneath it represent input to the power management IC from the wall.
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
Wish I could make them completely contiguous from the beginning of the drive until the free space begins (so I can skip all the zeroes)
Is there no
ntfsclone
on Earth-72, which skips free space? orntfsresize
, which also lets you compact volumes? Or the resize functionality in Disk Management? Orrobocopy /copyall /create
followed byrobocopy /copyall

Current prediction is for thunderstorms to start here around 16:00 tomorrow. Going to work by car is not an option ATM because of roadworks. I may end up leaving early.

4.2 V is the exact voltage for a fully-charged standard lithium-polymer cell. Maybe you're right and this is just a coincidence, but it's suspicious.

It works!
Barely, but it works. You have to manually edit the MSBuild scripts for the new compiler, and the editor is full of red squigglies. And it screwed up my namespaces in a way I'm still not completely clear on.

Yeah, that's why I took my car instead of my bicycle today (I'm actually two minutes faster by bike than by car so that's the preferred option).
-
@loopback0 Which is why I gave him two Windows-only options after the two not-Windows only options. Besides, if he's going to be doing raw volume copying, he's probably going to have to step outside Windows anyway since the only Windows tools I know for that are third-party and notorious footguns.

is not available without making a jail and importing zfs capabilities into it, updating the package repo, installing it, and then adjusting the copy commands to do the needful from within a jail instead of on the host OS.

1 Oh look, there's a long-term support line. Where they define long-term as "12 weeks".

LINK : fatal error LNK1102: out of memory
There's 32 GB of virtual memory available,
link
. is your problem?(Edit: And yes, I'm using the x64 linker.)No, this is a vendor-supplied wrapper utility that generates an object file then apparently calls the x32 linker. No prize for guessing who the stupid vendor is. In one folder I ran the link command manually and that worked. Then in the second folder I ran the wrapper utility and the memory error is gone anyway now. Huh. (Edit x3: Ah, the memory error doesn't appear if I don't disable PDB generation -- I -- what? Fuck this.)

status Huh. So I told my boss about a week ago that the 14th is my last day. Today (4th) the company sends an email "pack up your desks - it's time for our random shuffle of desks this friday!" (fine, paraphrased). Guess what? Yup, no desk. And I'm in an area that's going to be demolished so staying put is not an option. Sigh.
Maybe I'm just supposed to take vacation that last week... Hey, that works for me!
