Why does he even have a 2FA if he has problems operating it?
Because Google is forcing it on everyone?
-
@topspin Speaking of which, I wonder if they actually went ahead with their brain-dead stupid idea of popping up the 2FA prompt on all devices connected to the account, with no way to turn it off other than by disabling 2FA

OK, so despite everything, I tried the Stadia trial.
First WTF: with a Pro account you get a whopping 9 games to play free. Of which there are 3 that you may actually have heard about: Serious Sam, GRID, Destiny 2.
So much choice, it's overwhelming.Whatever. I tried to start a game on Vivaldi. Result: completely black screen where the game should be. Pressing esc or F11 doesn't even quit full screen! This thing somehow hijacked my browser entirely. I had to ctrl-alt-delete to kill it.
OK, fine, Vivaldi is still buggy. I'll use a real browser with hardware acceleration like Edge or Firefox. Result: "Nope, this thing is Chrome only lol".
Of course. Why did I even expect otherwise.

But Microsoft Edge is Chrome?
Chromium.

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
Can someone with C# and regex experience try this:
Differences in engine implementation, and the MS one ends up non-greedy in this case. Which is unusual, but technically possible. Except I don't see how it is failing to match the dash. Unless… are you sure you have the right dash character? Replace
\-
with[-–—]
for paranoia's reasons (that's not just a minus/hyphen, but also en- and em-dashes); no telling what characters are in an arbitrary filename when users have been involved.Digression…
(?:\-\d{2}|)
That's a weird sub-RE anyway. Try replacing it with
(?:[-–—]\d{2})?
which it might handle engine differences better. (I also prefer\d\d
to\d{2}
but YMMV.)I hope (and suspect) that your actual RE isn't:
^(.*)\.[sS](\d{2})[eE](\d{2}(?:\-\d{2}|))\.(.*)$
but rather:
^(.*)\.[sS](\d{2})[eE](\d{2}(?:\-\d{2}|)).(.*)$
That would at least make the transformation you describe legal in a standard RE sense (and it would then apply it if the dash was the “wrong” character). Experience suggests that when you have a significant literal
.
in your input string, use[.]
to match it: it's harder to screw that up.

@Bulb yeah I was gonna say - isn't that entirely not the way that works?
If it's popping a browser window, it's (ok, I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty damn certain) not going to store your password, as that defeats the entire purpose of popping the window. Another case of "levicki doesn't understand how things work"

It will likely violate the "no MFA at the oddest moments" requirement.
Another case of "people don't read".

@JBert If it's an oauth app, the only way it's gonna get deauthorized is if you somehow delete your refresh key (or, I guess, stay offline for so long that it invalidates. Like.. months...)

Lazy fucks...
That's almost half a gigabyte for a fucking save game. And I'm not even done yet. I'd guess about 2/3 there.
I decree that anyone who even considers using text serialization for their next Unity gaem in my new kingdom will be drowned in a burlap sack together with a , a and a .

More Stadia WTFs:
I have to install the mobile app... to change a basic setting?
I went to the mobile app and it's literally just a radio button that lets you pick between "4k" "1080p" or "720p" .How does this happen? Like they must have spent months building the web interface, testing the streaming quality, etc. but when the time came to add this part, that just wasn't in the budget?

@Applied-Mediocrity is this Win 7? How did you get your windows / buttons to look so square?

@levicki Well... you don't package your video driver every time you get a bad d20 roll.

@Applied-Mediocrity Someone is save-spamming I see.

WTF of my day: You gotta love PHP. My Moodle server just keeled over. Why? Well, you see, I'm using PHP-FPM and for some unfathomable reason, those worker processes just became unresponsive.
service status php-fpm
just yields an "everything's fine!", my monitoring service can merely tell me that everything but php-fpm is responding and/var/log/php-fpm.log
doesn't yield anything enlightening.Save for a
WARNING: [pool www] server reached pm.max_children setting (5), consider raising it
Well, turns out that this simple warning is more of a death knell because it means that new connections are queued and at some point, all new connections will wait forever.
Who designed this godforsaken system?

I hope putting THE ENTIRE SAVE DATA in the Windows Registry would get similar treatment. I know one game that does just that. It even puts the achievement tracking counters in there. At least now I know why there's only one save slot.

Oh I see. It might sound dumb but I didn't think of this possibility when writing that post. I was too distracted by Mr. Buttercup Is a Chicken #5.
-
@Gąska I would guess @Mason_Wheeler's account name would be something like "mason_wheeler"
-
@Gąska Is that what that username translates as?
-
@hungrier That's a pretty safe guess.
-
@Mason_Wheeler If you wanted to get really crazy you could shock everyone with "mason.wheeler"
-
@Mason_Wheeler said in WTF Bites:

Pretty much ("Mr." was my addition). What's interesting is that Tokarczuk is a semi-common last name in Poland, and that username looks very much like first name-last name. So my bet is the user's actual last name with letters swapped. The first name looks 100% fake, though.

You mentioned .NET, which means your program is already run as 32-bit by default.
This is 2020, not 2012. The check box works perfectly fine if you target 4.5+. Possibly lower; I just don't have any version between 4.0 and 4.5 installed.

To install OKD, you write some parameters in
install-config.yaml
and run a command. That command deletes the input file and produces some manifests. You can tweak them and then you run another command, which in turn deletes the manifests created by previous step and creates ignition configs that you use to boot the machines.The documentation gives an omnious warning before that step:
The
install-config.yaml
file is consumed during the next step of the installation process. You must back it up now.

I could understand intermediates being temporary and ephemeral. But the base config? Why?!

@Bulb Do you at least the the
install-config.yml
back when you uninstall whatever that is?

That command deletes the input file
Flash installer, is that your reincarnation?

It's not just Flash. Adobe Reader still does this if memory serves...
-
@Bulb Do you at least the the
install-config.yml
back when you uninstall whatever that is?It's not installing anything into the system it's running on, it's installing separate computers. Well, generating configuration files that you provide as a parameter for their first boot. Uninstalling just means scrapping those computers (or reinstalling them with something else), so the “installer” is not involved.
-
@Bulb Is there any reason for it to delete the original config file, other than to take the "consume" metaphor over-literally?
