Oh boy I am full of error'd bites today! This one is my fault, but I was a little surprised at exactly what I saw
Um excuse me, error in vroom vroom?? I know we programmers love our car analogies, but this is taking it too far
-
There's more in the Lounge but I wanted to share that today I received an honest to goodness PC LOAD LETTER error.
inb4: no it wasn't from a printer, either.

Bernie thinks about copying his DVD video collection to files, and searches for useful software.
null
is among the most interesting suggestions:
-
@BernieTheBernie itโs so popular, itโs in both first and second place!
-
@BernieTheBernie I've been using CDBurnerXP. Hasn't been updated for a while, but it works...
-
@BernieTheBernie I've had a lot of success with MakeMKV myself. Though I guess I should try null, just to see if it's any better.
-
Handbrake's pretty good at converting video, and I think supports ripping from DVD.
-
Can Winamp rip DVDs? Maybe they were thinking of Nullsoft.
-
-
Since I thus initiated a discussion on Video DVD ripping, just let me tell you my results for a test with a commercial DVD (Arthaus):
- CDBurnerXP: had it already on the machine. It fails with some cryptic error codes (also after update).
- Handbrake.fr (frist
null
option): for Windows 10, downloads some filetype unknown on Windows 7... - Freemake.com (second
null
option): can be installed on Win7. But finds only 3 titles on the DVD, and the main film is missing... - Makemkv.com: worx. Also multiple languages and subtitles are saved.

Is that success?

If it didn't barf error messages on the console, it wouldn't be Linux

@Zerosquare Windows doesn't tell you when you run out of disk space?

I'm sure he'd go on a rant so long, by the end he'd even forget about the not asking for help part.

@topspin honestly the funniest thing was watching Blakeyrat legit lose his shit over trying Vivaldi.
-
For once, I wouldn't blame him. Listening to Four Seasons gives traumatic flashbacks to anyone who's ever had to call a hotline.
Filed under: Your call is important to us. Please hold the line.

@Zerosquare not that Vivaldi

@topspin Video encoding options are
Is there any one person who actually knows what all those settings are for and why they are there?

E: except for being brown and GTK.
-
@topspin it looks like an old version of HandBrake. More recent versions have a big preset list so most people probably don't need to worry about the finer options anyway.
-
@loopback0
although it required me to install some more .NET to get there ...

Most times.
It also doesn't tell you when you've used up all your spare sectors from all the bad ones the drive transparently replaced.
-
@Tsaukpaetra It doesn't even tell you if the disk is entirely read only. It just keeps on buffering more and more in memory. Eventually you'll run out of buffer space and Windows will crash hard, losing quite a lot of your work in the process. A coworker found this out when he had a failed SSD. (Linux just flat out refused to mount the device in read-write mode. More immediately annoying, but less likely to lead to catastrophic loss of work.)

Browsing job ads at Stepstone.de, their page navigation seems to look very ... uhm ... :
So, I am now at page 5. In order to get to page6
, I cannot click on6
, but I have to click on>
. But actually, there'd be enough space for adding some more links.
-
@BernieTheBernie yeah, if they're gonna do that they should use first/prev/5/next/last styling.
-
@PleegWat
But what if someone visits on a phone that's smaller?
-
@izzion in that case, who needs any but the first and last page?
-
@PleegWat As if anyone sensibly looks at the last page of any search...

Perhaps, but first and next would be too sensible.

The error is "will be valid from [starting]". So my guess is you just renewed the certificate, and there's some time drift (or time zone shenanigans) between the server that issued the certificate and the endpoint that is connecting to the certificate, such that the endpoint sees something like "It's June 24 at 13:30 UTC" and the certificate says "I'm valid starting June 24 at 14:30 UTC".
Which probably also means that by the time you see this post the problem will have "fixed itself"

Sometimes problems on commercial websites just astonish me. I had decided I wanted to buy a Brother All-In-One printer. (Because among Multi-Function Printers they seem compatible with Linux.) I got to the point when I was ready to make my purchase, but when checking out the website was very, very slow. I tried several times in both Chromium and Firefox. I got so fed up that I started researching other companies MFPs, and settled on Epson. Still can't make my purchase. I wondered what was going on, and this is it:
So it doesn't look like any problem with me, it's just that the JavaScript is broken. How do companies like this make any money? You would think it would be worth it to them to let customers who have decided to give them their money actually give them their money.
-
@jinpa
Most customers who want to give them money don't run 3 script blockers, 2 DNS filters, and a partridge in a pear tree

@jinpa

Plus, I tried disabling my ad blocker and reloading the page, but it still didn't work.
-
@jinpa I was unable to make the purchase in Chromium, Firefox or Pale Moon. So I tried in Tor.
So I told NoScript not to allow cross-site scripting for the site. I was able to complete my order from Tor.
-
@jinpa Hm. doubleclick.net...
:theres-your-problem.png:
I use the /etc/hosts from https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ to block most of that .
-

It's the best way to do it, anyways. You wouldn't trust a printer manufacturer, would you?
