I take back all the positive things I said about UniFi the other day :P
How someone managed to pull off something as fucked up as this USG configuration is beyond me
Like, you have a router, but you can't configure it. You need a software to configure it. But you have to be in the same network as device. Sadly, due to the way they fucked things up, you always end up with the router offering a different range over DHCP than the address the controller is set to
Oh and the default username they're trying to set will also break your entire setup

@DavidPostill I'm trying to calibrate a SEDE query in response to that meta question about downvoting, but it's entirely possible that I messed up the SQL, so I need to do some sanity checks. Does it sound reasonable that you comment on about 42% of the posts you downvote?
Please feel free to tell me that I completely butchered the stats
Actually, this same query is guessing that I comment on only about a third of the things I downvote, so something has gone wrong here

@BenN Does the SEDE query return data on stuff that is deleted?
 
Ben N

5:55 PM
It includes counts of downvotes on deleted posts, but it doesn't see comments on those deleted things, which is almost certainly throwing things off
I think I'll abandon trying to guess that and rename the column to ArbitraryMentoringScore or something
 
Mokubai

@BenN If you want a more accurate system then you could implement a query that reaches out to mods and basically says "Did X comment on Answer/Question Y? Here's a paypal donation in $LOCAL_CURRENCY$ for your trouble."
It might be a bit slow, but I'm sure increasing the value of $LOCAL_CURRENCY$ could directly affect execution speed...

TL;DR: Screws for securing HSF backplates may be too long, resulting in insufficient heatsink pressure on the processor and thereby compromised cooling performance.

they using amd's backplate with a 3rd party cooler?

10:43 PM
sounds to me like AMD issue 'you need this setup to mount'
they then provide a slightly different setup with the stock cooler
lazy 3rd party goes 'we can use their back plate' and designs to use it, using the specs AMD issued.... and chaos ensues
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
lol
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
as AMD are perfectly fine to edit their own design and even go outside their own specs
no one else should be using it after all.
Of course this whole theory just came out of my sleep deprived head...
2 more night shifts to go yey
I'm actually feeling shockingly 'ok'

Interesting facts:
1/ The current population of Singapore is 5,754,427 as of Tuesday, February 28, 2017, based on the latest United Nations estimates.
2/ Singapore's pet population is projected to hit 824,600 pets this year - up from 816,115 in 2014, according to statistics from Euromonitor
3/ The number of canine pets increased from an estimated 47,000 in 2006 to 62,000 last year.

I'd argue not really
just source ./.file you changed
 
Bob
Bob
@still_dreaming_1 There's a bunch of hidden metadata (e.g. Unix permissions) attached to it that you'll possibly corrupt if you try modifying it from Explorer.
 
Ben N
Ben N
I think I read somewhere that there's metadata about them that doesn't show up to normal Windows APIs and will get destroyed if you change the files outside Bash
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
depending if it needs sourcing.
ooooooooo
ok that'd be bad xD
 
still_dreaming_1
still_dreaming_1
ok, well what about the other way around? Is it ok to modify the Windows files from that bash?
 
Bob
Bob
@djsmiley2k It's not about modifying files from outside bash. It's about modifying files from outside bash on Windows, aka WSL, aka Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.

@djsmiley2k Funny thing? You can do that with WSL too.
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
it edits the file content.
 
still_dreaming_1

11:50 PM
So I should be able to create files using git from bash that are in the normal windows file system and then interact with those files from both Windows programs and bash programs right?
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
@Bob you just told him not to :/
 
Bob
Bob
@djsmiley2k You're talking network access. You can host a SCP server on WSL and run a SCP client on Windows and it'd work fine too.
@djsmiley2k He's talking the equivalent of loading up a raw ext drive in Notepad and fiddling with it.
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
so why isn't that the default d:
or why aren't the files hidden so you can't screw it up like this
erm, i believe windows 7 (and I guess 10) can mount ext2 and ext3 quite well
 
Bob
Bob
@still_dreaming_1 Yes, as long as it's via the Windows mountpoints and appears in the normal Windows filesystem, it's all fine. Just don't reach into the private WSL directories.
@djsmiley2k They are hidden.
 
djsmiley2k

@Bob ah ok

Rule of thumb, don't touch anything in `%LocalAppData%\lxss` since that's supposed to be private (only accessed via VolFs).
Anything via /mnt/c, /mnt/<driveletter> goes through DrvFs and should work fine from both OSes.
 
Journeyman Geek

@Bob I read an angry rant about comic sans haters ;p
also, its not sans at fault here. All the letters make sense ;p
 
Bob
Bob
@djsmiley2k VolFs is intended to be opaqe from Windows. You treat it as a separate OS. If you happen to make a filesystem driver that can mount VolFs properly, then, sure, you can access it directly. But you don't have one. So it's like trying to access an ext filesystem without the appropriate drivers.
 
djsmiley2k
djsmiley2k
so they released a fs without a driver?
 
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek It's VolFs. As in, VOLFS. That's a L, not an i. That's why sans-serif sucks: I and l look the same...
