@allquixotic Yeah, he does seem to ;p
He also seems pretty used to humans and chill ;p
 
@CanadianLuke youtube.com/watch?v=GgSsJa17P2M - This seem to possible be similar to what I wanted. Quite well explained as well.
 
That's a good one
So, I'm thinking of building a Proxmox cluster at home, just for the hell of it... Anyone have experience doing that?
 
1:06 AM
@JourneymanGeek young pets especially (this one is young) have a VERY high chance of being claimed at shelters in a fairly short time in my community. there's a high demand for cats and dogs especially.
I'm not -terribly- worried about the prospect of him being put down.
almost no one goes to dog breeders and "buys" pets anymore, most people just go to a shelter looking to claim a healthy young pet that needs a home
 
1:25 AM
Thats awesome
Its kind of the opposite here, but that's cause the rules about dogs in public housing were quite strict.
Ash is adopted, but not from a shelter. ;p
(He was temporarly left with us by his former owner after she got into a fight with her husband. She then adopted another 2 dogs from the SPCA >_>)
 
2:11 AM
Hey @JourneymanGeek you still have them synergy keys >
?
 
@HackToHell: yeah
 
Can I have one ?
Bleh downloaded Windows 8.1 32 bit update :(
 
There you go
@HackToHell Let me know once you've yonked it
 
Where should I use it :(
I thought you could enter it in the website and download
AH it's a promo code
 
Create an account, 'order' it, and use it on the payment page, IIRC
 
2:16 AM
DOne !
 
(It'll show me the email address you used to register, but I pinky swear I won't use it for evil. Even if dogs don't have pinkies)
 
@JourneymanGeek My parents cat lost half of his 'thumb' pad and they don't know how.
Probably got into a fight.
 
'd:18373876
Bleh keyboard why u so small
Okay this synergy is awesome !!!
 
2:42 AM
I have a bit of an issue with the shift key ;p
Unrelatedly
banggood.com/… damn, the prices on these dropped.
 
3:03 AM
Ooh so the wireless card sits on the mini PCI-E interface
 
3:35 AM
Yeah, it does
 
4:30 AM
Damn I detest intentionally stupid people: superuser.com/questions/831505/…
 
Bob
4:52 AM
wtf
ok, desktop is screwed, looks like
 
wtf the volume of my laptop is high only if I have Dolby Digital Plus thingy switched on ._.
 
Yeah the "Plus" means louder :)
 
Isn't Dolby's software like Beats ?
 
kinda sorta.
In general though, digital equalisation should be a last resort
 
Bob
see, this is why I don't like restarting
fuck fuck fuckity fuck
OS partition has FS errors
@Psycogeek Looks like PrimoCache might not have been a good idea -_-
 
5:11 AM
@Bob it is not a good idea :-) unless you have a UPS, memory tests out 100% , and you have some crazy "unbuffered" stuff going on that the normal winders file cache doesn't handle
 
@Bob That's scary :O
 
Bob
@Psycogeek I do have a UPS.
I was using the SSD cache only, no memory cache.
...fuck
 
@Bob oh ssd cache. I no like, because to do them properly you have to still write to both, my ssd is only tiny bit faster than raid , and the total overall improvement as tested by intel even is ~25% or less based on standard HDs. But I was still interested in the testing of it.
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Yea, I'm not using RAID 0.
It depends on your HDD speed and contention.
Considerable benefit on my laptop. Not so much on my tesktop.
 
So in terms of "what it was doing" what do you think occurred to corrupt?
 
Bob
5:16 AM
@Psycogeek I'm not sure. Possibly a failure to flush the cache on shutdown.
Still trying to get the system back up.
My last image was... a few weeks ago. Not as bad as it could have been, but I really don't want to go that route.
 
figures, all these flushes here are taking BUKU time on shutdowns. Anyone who thought they would decrease that time after seeing how long it is, might apply fast shutdown methods (of course not saying you have them applied)
 
Bob
Nah, completely normal shutdown.
In any case, this kind of cache flush should be implemented as a driver that refuses to shut down without finishing the flush.
 
primo added lots of time, and today without primo on, I can feel the raid card delaying for a flush
Much of software will sometimes just have a "delay here for a while" before finish , you can see that on installs and other things. some detached to the action Wait time, that hopefully is long enough. We can find those people in the Bad Programming chat room :-)
with a really fast system, and monitoring what was going on, this type of program is still "waiting" for nothing :-)
 
Bob
ok, safe mode fails on fltsrv.sys
 
is acronis filter?
 
Bob
5:26 AM
@Psycogeek Possibly.
I do have Acronis installed. But I haven't done anything with it in the last restart.
 
it is not standard OS item in win7
 
Bob
...even better
 
Alright how do I fix this crap?
 
Bob
but it's loaded in safe mode for whatever reason
 
because safe mode isn't safe. they allowed various manufactures to put in highly critical items in the safe mode, and basically ruind it
 
5:29 AM
Wtf
 
Bob
hmmmm
 
I sent emails and there's endless thread stretching down. This makes email too big.
 
is there mayby someway to boot into command line mode and run windows? step by step mode?
 
Bob
apparently a Windows critical update was installed earlier this morning
...lemme try removing that
I had automatic updates turned off...
 
@Boris_yo that sucks, infinite loop e-mail :-)
@Bob and did you disable the task scheduler for it too :-)
 
Bob
5:32 AM
@Psycogeek oh, update checker still runs (and I want it to), I just don't want automatic installation
 
and disable the service :-) , then have a switch to turn it all back on, when everything fails miserably to try and check it manually. Such is the horrors of actual control. and never having a life left after .
Microsoft 160 psycogeek 1 , team Microsoft wins :-)
but their mascot is a rhesus monkey , experimental lab animal
@Boris_yo so how did you manage to create this masterpiece? and did you show it to google?
 
5:54 AM
hmmm , program works fine, I don't need any extra features, do I download the updated version, or stick with the one I have used faithfully for years ? youtube.com/watch?v=LOR5GA4gDfM
 
Bob
6:20 AM
Ok. Nuclear option: full image restore
Hope it's recent enough
scratch that, hope the restore works -_-
 
acronis saves itself from itself
 
Bob
lol
 
Bob
Ok. Backing up.
 
@Psycogeek

http://superuser.com/questions/833097/how-to-prevent-gmail-previous-conversation-quotations
 
Bob
6:26 AM
Looks like I'm on my laptop for tonight.
@Boris_yo Wrong site. If you're using the web interface, it goes on webapps.se
...slhck beat me to it
 
@Boris_yo see that's what you get for using ONLINE bs :-) they don't want you here anymore.
now you have to deal with the facebook and twitter crowd , may god be with you :-)
 
Bob
backing up
I'm assuming 100 MB/s, if Acronis can go that fast, so 300 GB should take about an hour.
But it doesn't go that fast, so... probably 3-4 hours.
if I'm lucky
> Time left: 7 minutes
LIES
 
if its not sector by sector , then it is only used space
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Yea, which should be about 300 GB.
sector-by-sector would be 500 GB
 
That is one reason why my "system" disk only holds the incorrigible system and programs, and games and other data are over there ----> 2 minute returns from backups.
 
Bob
6:34 AM
@Psycogeek That was my original plan.
 
7 minutes to create the backup , using the boot from the CD version of acronis (outside of system.
 
Bob
Big data files still go on other partitions.
My user profile is the only big thing on the system partition.
But that has separate backups.
I don't take system images often.
Most of the system partition space is taken by crap like Adobe -_-
5 GB for a PDF reader, really?
I have half the CC suite installed on there, so that's probably a good 40+ GB
 
its not like a movie file is going to corrupt itself (like the system can), so more simple file backup routines work for that.
 
Bob
I'll probably migrate my user profile off as soon as I get some time.
 
@Bob wow, and just when I thought they were overdoing it with DVD sized
 
Bob
6:36 AM
@Psycogeek Ballpark estimate. I can't confirm right now for obvious reasons.
> Time left: 11 minutes
...
 
well when you have to write non-destructive overlaying matte routines and memory management in HTML languages :-) it is bound to be a little bigger in size
 
Bob
Ok, I think my last image was end of August
Not too bad... lose two months :\
First thing I'm gonna do after restore (and confirming it boots) is install Windows updates and see if that breaks it again
 
and in 2 months its no so much what has changed, but what one has learned since, so re-installing a 78Gig PDF reader becomes much easier :-)
speaking of PDF, what is the popular low ads, small sized PDF read only thing being used this week?
 
@Psycogeek sumatra
or pdf.js
 
ahh
 
Bob
6:42 AM
And to think this all happened today because I wanted to fix the PDF printer to do my tax return -_-
 
when backing up with Ghost , I would sit there (waiting) watching the files being backed up and thinking , WTF is that. Go back in delete some stuff and try again minus the 1/2g of stuff. which sometimes proved to be a stupid thing to do BEFORE the backup.
 
@Psycogeek: If you want something simple sumatra
I tend to prefer pdfxchange viewer for something with more features.
Also, sumatra uses plain text config
so you might like it. Very hackable.
 
6:59 AM
@JourneymanGeek see now I want to know what is different? like the top 3 things , when only reading a pdf?
 
@Psycogeek: sumatra opens files. It shows it to you
Basically it just stays out of your way
pdfxchange is like pre-suckitude foxit
It shows you PDFs, but you can annotate too
 
ok thanks.
 
Bob
backup finished
restore starting
prays
huh, the image I'm restoring was sector-by-sector
 
that's how it always restores?
back before the 2014 type version, the method it restored would do a full defrag (just because of piling in files) , but the 2014 aligns everything as it was :-(
Even when i specifically DEselect sector by sector backup,
 
Bob
I don't know. I've always taken sector-by-sector for important images
 
7:12 AM
which would include deleted data
i should figure out how to do it the old way, because free defrags are "better"
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Yes. But for a system image I figured it was safer.
 
7:34 AM
yea, one wonders if using "file" method that the crazy junction and hard link stuff. That is why they only flat recover the whole thing now? Even when not selecting sector by sector in the backup..My Web Searches with posts from 2011 have different information , and are therefore are obsolete, making fact finding hard.
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Dunno. They do have a few bugs; this might be one of them.
 
But i do know , if you deselect sector by sector backup method using the 2014 CD , and restore that, everything is recovered (except delted sectors.
 
Bob
In theory the 'smart' backup and recovery should be able to analyse the NTFS structure and restore links properly
Whether it does so in practice? I don't know.
I should test that sometime. In a VM.
 
yea so it should say things like
1) File ONLY
2) File and crazy shit needed for file
3) sector by sector
On both backup and restore, that i could understand :-)
I cant find it in the document acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ATIH2014/… , like real professionals, they just "handle that for you" , leaving the praying up to you :-)
 
8:06 AM
Now if i was going to Avoid windows mail, and windows live mail this time, and have successfully used thunderbird Mozilla e-mail before, is there a e-mail client program that would be small simple and still handle 6 e-mail accounts ?
 
eh
I still use thunderbird ;)
 
@JourneymanGeek great, and even the newer versions not much wild changes?
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Thunderbird is considered essentially complete by Mozilla
IIRC there's a feature freeze. They only release bug and security patches now.
 
cant get better than that :-) do it right once
 
Bob
8:20 AM
Oh, not quite. But close.
> On July 6, 2012, Mozilla announced the company was dropping the priority of Thunderbird development because the continuous effort to extend Thunderbird's feature set was mostly fruitless. The new development model is based on Mozilla offering only "Extended Support Releases", which deliver security and maintenance updates, while allowing the community to take over the development of new features.
> We’re simply not going to pour resources into trying to “innovate” on Thunderbird. Users will still be getting an email client that answers to nobody but them. Users will still benefit from stability, performance and security updates from Mozilla. And their mail will continue to land in their inbox, just as it always has.
 
dang no longer catering to a feature set that only 1person in 1000 people demanded , What will i do :-)
 
Bob
> Starting Windows
:)
 
Does the mean it doesn't have facebook and twitter links , and jump to porn pages , and install thing that "fix your pc" :-)
 
Bob
@Psycogeek There is the "Chat" option, but I don't use that so I can't say how well it works.
And I'm logged in :D
Ok, now what do I do with the missing two months...
 
@Bob have set your e-mail to "stay on server" for 60 days this time , or backup in 30 next time
 
Bob
8:26 AM
@Psycogeek My email is on the server permanently.
And I have daily user profile backups, which should include email.
So that part's covered.
 
and pushing one button will re-download your 760gig of steam games right :-)
(that being 3 games :-)
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Those are on the other partition :)
 
so what did you lose in 2 months then? 56,000 entries of registry cruft ?
update of 2 programs
and that picture your mum sent ya
 
Bob
No idea what was actually lost. Still performing triage (i.e. stopping the current auto backup run before it wrecks my profile backup -_-)
 
8:47 AM
and speaking of thunderbird, apparently I need to pick up a letter, and the email was sent 2 weeks ago
oops
 
Bob
...TrueImage wut r u doin
it doesn't recognise the backups after August natively...
@JourneymanGeek How long do they hold it?
 
No idea ;p
I'll go check tommorrow
(School's like 10 minutes from my place)
 
@Bob must be a time displacement rift caused by unrealized protoplasmic universal phenomina , or it was in that file or registry you just replaced.
 
Bob
lol
@Psycogeek Yea, I have a backup copy of the broken system, though. I'll try replacing the Acronis ProgramData directory if this set of Windows updates succeeds.
I still have the actual backup image files. Worst case, I can do a manual restore.
 
program note, store that stuff IN the file next time
 
Bob
8:55 AM
@Psycogeek Well, they need to store some metadata elsewhere to be able to find the files.
But I'm disappointed that they didn't see fit to include a catalog of that backup at least in the folder the backup lives in.
 
scan the designated backup folder, find all necessary information pertaining in it.
not strewn about the os , in the usual manner
 
9:45 AM
WTF the get-bitstransfer commandlet doesn't show me the progress :|
 
Bob
10:00 AM
@Psycogeek Windows seems to be starting post-updates, so it looks like there's no update/Acronis clash
I'm back to suspecting the caching.
 
you went back 2 months and it still is doing File System errors? and have you since done the chkdsk /f thing on each partition?
I have a batch file that runs that check on every disk from A-Z :-) i use rarely , by being on one button it is easy to do the more thorough but still simple checks
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Not FS errors. I just installed updates again to see if that caused the issue.
Oh, it just restarted
please work
 
What is going wrong then now?
 
Bob
Nothing!
 
and 2 months ago you did not have the cache on it right?
 
Bob
10:06 AM
Nup.
Not going to add that for now.
I can trust Intel's cache. These others? ... not as much
 
Blah. I got here much too early
 
Bob
Huh?
 
via the primo cache forum, i would never use the ssd part of it, to many people said the same bug thing existed.
 
I have one of those military fitness classes today
My bus was early and I ended up much much earlier than I should ve
Borrrrrrrrrrred
 
cell phone with movie on it
do they let your dog train too
 
10:12 AM
Eh, I take a bus here.
(No pets allowed on public transport)
 
oh service animal , just tell them Ash is a Cadaver dog, and then mention that he is getting the scent right now, and tell them they should go to the doctor Quick :-)
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Hm? Link please? :(
 
@Bob no specific link, just an hour of reading about it there
different people related it differently , and some Me2 others, but it very well could be they have similar issues
I already made a loose warning about it when i was talking about using the primo myself for ram caches.
 
Bob
10:35 AM
@Psycogeek I was aware of the dangers from power loss (that's what the UPS is for, and it actually survived a real power loss event without issues). I wasn't expecting a safe shutdown to cause this, though.
 
Probably one reason why the forum site is so bleak. it not working. add to that every expert in the world says the Ram cache stuff (not ssd) has zero value because MSes own file cache works.
I actually want to run across one of those so called experts and show them that there is ONE :-) application for it where MSes cache just fills and is not reused.
The unbuffered , intended to bypass the cache writes.
I had asked these experts before, WHY is it that the ms cache was not working. Of course it had to be that my system is screwed up because "it never happens in anything they have ever worked with" or that the programming was really bad.
So i asked again, like: isn't it true that there are some things that will fully bypass the MS cache. and of course the expert says, yes it Must be that way. Umm NO!!
Bad information, the fact that they Spammed (fancy cache and superspeed) means even if it has value in specific situations , the whole idea will be tossed. no users , no money, no testing by thousands.
But If the same thing was put Into the OS itself :-) and only had value in the tiniest of circumstances well then Apple and MS have done it exactally right, and THEN turning it off would be a terrible misteak.
Same thing happened when i had a discussion,( that was really kept civil) with experts about paging and virtual memory. they are 100% correct, undeniable facts , but refuse to see how the alternate universe could have implemented the same thing way better :-)
 
11:07 AM
@Psycogeek Online bs? I don't bs anyone.
 
You cant tell a person who has kept 500 icons slopped all over their desktop , that windows 8 way of metro menu stuff is bad. it IS a lot better than what they did before :-)
 
What am I doing wrong?
 
But not everyone had desktops slathered with icons , and even then some of them organized the heck out of them (fences for example)
 
Bob
User file recovery: 2 mins left (estimated)
after this and a reboot, I'll be mostly recovered
no idea what I might be missing, so I guess it's just wait-and-see
 
@Boris_yo where do i start ? you have macro on, good for 3in-12in max . you turned off flash, when potentially you could block some of it or diffuse it . you have a 1/15the shutter , so any movement would blur. you have a 2.8 iris opening so your depth of field is low , you have auto white balance on, which could depending on the lighting mess up the color, and your histogram shows sort of ok.
 
11:16 AM
@Psycogeek Nice but IRIS is not inside this camera.
 
and , you have anti shake on, which Depending on the camera can reduce the total amount of the sensor used . in digital stabilization. if it is real optical stabilization (where the lens moves) then it does not reduce the total sensor used.
@Boris_yo well then there is your problem, get a camera with an iris :-0
Easiest thing to fix most all of that, is Lock your ISO low, digital cameras don't really have film speed, but the "speed" setting for digital cameras effects the processing layer of the sencor, to "gain" the information the sencor receives
The higher the ISO is the more grainy the data will be as the cpu in the camera "boosts" the nasty light collection of the sensor
A low ISO will also mean you need Lots and Lots of light, so be it auto ISO reacting to the proper light, or manuel setting, and the user having to add light, the results is the same, getting more light to the sensor
A low F-stop iris setting thing means the iris is wide open. good for portraits, and blurring backgrounds, and taking pictures at night. a higher number showing for the iris say 16 , is the iris very small.
Always remember the "Brownie" or better the "pin hole" camera. tiny iris make everything stay in focus. Like the pinhole camera didn't even have a lens .
And again as you close up the iris reducing the total light hitting the sencor, you have to have lots of light again.
Shutter speeds , well there is no shutter, so again why the heck do they put all that film stuff into digital things, very few cameras will actually shutter the light.
 
11:42 AM
Abd my BITS transfer magically disappears :/
 
in fact a large amount of your problem is the modern digital camera is all lies held over from film :-) if they had tossed out all the film jargon , people would know what is going on.
 
Screw it, good old wget FTW
 
Its like DB in digital wave processing, there are no DBs in digital waves, what is wrong with these people :-) and they said i was stuck in the dark ages.
 
11:58 AM
Hmm, we have a . Only three questions which use it and no description for it.
Time for a burn it post on meta ?
 
there certainly are no combo-tags for those 3 , and they do refer specifically to effects of gravity on computer parts :-)
 
ow.
I was temped to do that, but wanted to check first.
Nice to see things happen rapidly though.
That looks Daria or Simpson-ish.
 
@Hennes South Park
 
I think I saw an episode of that.
Or actually. more like 2-3 5 minute parts.
 
12:07 PM
I would say "If a tag is only used three times, you can probably just remove it without raising any flags" But I'm afraid someone will rip my balls off if I do
 
oh. Mail!
LOI with a thick book for "70-680 Configuring window 7"
 
@Psycogeek This one is in mirrorless and DSLR cameras.
 
I hope I guessed right and the companies will keep using win7 for ages (just as they did with XP).
 
@OliverSalzburg people sometimes do that after you post meta posts and do it right too :p
 
@Boris_yo i must have OIS not DIS, in all my cameras, just because of terrible results with the way digital image stabilization was done, back when the sensors were barely enough resolution to begin with. it is possible that with a 12and14megapixel kind of camera and a fully properly done engine for it, it would be fine.
with the lens moving around itself , it can fix the jerky human movements changing the light on the sensor to begin with , before it light collects. because of that it might just be the only way to reduce smearing, improve on HDR (double pass) and low speed capture.

Q: Is there a way to simulate multi PCs using VMWare?

Al0NEI want to test a desktop application and I need to test it on 1000 terminals, is there a way to use VMWare and make him use one operating system and simulate like it is many separates ones and running the same application?

o0
 
@Psycogeek Shutter speed started measuring in hours, seconds and today in milliseconds. Back then photographers operated shutter counting seconds from opening it to close it after getting enough light.
@JourneymanGeek Isn't it what VMware does?
 
@Boris_yo: One copy? sure. A few copies? Yeah. ONE THOUSAND COPIES?
no, no no,
 
@Boris_yo yea hold that camera still while you move a light blocking plate away that sits between the film and lens 1940's? ahh same thing holds true today, the more still you hold the camera, or use a tripod, the more pictures are going to turn out.
 
@JourneymanGeek Not for end-user maybe but yes for corporations.
 
12:24 PM
@Psycogeek Try operating shutter for 1/100s of a second. I doubt Peter Parker could do that.
 
If you're running 1000 Vms you're better off with some flavour of containers.
 
I wonder if the OP want to test with 1000 desktops for performance or want a 1000 different test configurations.
Also, temped to mention that vmware is not a program but a firm.
 
@Hennes or wants to say "my software works on thousands of computers" so it must be your fault. perfect test of software, to put it on 1000 clones :-) if only we were clones using it.
 
@Psycogeek I have dimmer to operate light level of lamp on ceiling. I think I had it on maximum when I felt it being warm. 4 hours with cuch level resulted in light out. Tried replacing lamp but still nothing but I also hear like there's spark inside the dimmer. Will have to dismanle it to see if anything melted?
 
@Boris_yo what style of dimmer? 1960's resistive? 1980s SCR 1990's triac , or 2012 mosfet ? Uhh yea check the wiring anyways maybe a screw is loose.
now you make me put in disclaimer, turn power off at main circuit breaker and test with voltmeter before touching. Or just man-up when you get zapped , instead of having a heart attack.
 
12:45 PM
Or ask a small child to look at it and check if he gets zapped.
;-)
 
Electronic dimmer with circle... Bought it 3 years ago.
I don't have voltmeter but this: http://www.dx.com/p/pen-style-non-contact-ac-voltage-detector-90v-1000v-2-aaa-23031#.VFDiW_mL-So
 
@Boris_yo great tool, uhh if you know it will still light up , being from dx and all .
 
@Psycogeek Once in a while new gadget in fitness claiming big results in short time:

can it even do that?
 
No idea
But the /online flag worries me
 
oh, from what little i know about it "online" means to an OS that is active, as opposed to a image that is being created on the side before deployment.
 
Ah then wtf is it doing o0
 
well if i could see :-) what your doing. did you do a quick check with the resource monitor? which sort of knows what everything in the puter is doing. except the NSA stuff :-)
