@bwDraco Imagine how the people directly involved feel then?

Yeah. So much uncertainty. Brexit or no Brexit? If so, deal or no deal? If deal, what kind of deal?

I've got the strangest issue: I've got a DVD drive that showed up on my Mac when I put in a disk containing drivers and manuals, but when I inserted a Windows 10 OEM disk, it won't even show up in sudo diskutil list.

The install DVD is not physically damaged, for context. It's a brand new drive that I'm hoping isn't DOA.

Okay, never mind, it appears to at least be working on the target system. :-)

Still kinda wonder, though.

@bertieb haha, the "professionals" who cut trees here wear just an old t-shirt and jeans, and climb the tree and start hacking away with a good ol' axe.

9:16 AM

@CaldeiraG I like it :D

@rahuldottech Ah so you live in america.

;)

Wait no, they shoot the tree there right?

tbh their solution to basically everything is guns

Oh, and the solution to guns is "thoughts and prayers"

s/guns/dead children/

Didn't you know their all Palidins, prayers give +5 AC

Careful, we're still on SU.

Yeah I'll say no more

@bertieb Its s nice way to bridge sites

@JourneymanGeek Yup! Those who use it for that won't be using NordVPN, which AIUI is an endpoint/anonymiser type deal?

Journeyman Geek

Other than that they have all your traffic

On Faith

Aye

But if the point is to circumvent low-effort government initiatives - eg 1 year retention in UK, 'meme blocking' in EU etc - does it matter hugely if someone has access to that

I guess potentially

oh i completely agree @bertieb it's just funnys

Yup!

Hyper-V dynamic memory is amazing, a godsend on a laptop with 8 GB of memory.

Yea, but does it make you tea?

;-P

How many VMs are you using on your laptop, out of interest?

Generally only one, but I run a web browser and other stuff at the same time. The system's image is also pretty heavy. It does not help that 1 GB of memory is set aside for the Radeon Vega processor graphics.

The VM needs a bare minimum of 1 GB of memory to function, and 1.5 GB to 2 GB is best.

It's used for learning Docker. I'm trying to replicate the old setup I had under VirtualBox under Hyper-V.

wtf are you running in docker than needs 1Gb memory o_O

The worlds gone mad, MADDDD i tell you.

2:49 PM

Because I kinda need a graphical environment to work with. It's a dev environment for learning.

hmmmm

i'd have my 'dev' tools all on my main system

because, I never stop needing them

the only thing in a VM is the thing that's 'running' the code

I guess it's different if you're learning

Might not want things there all the time

But then I have no idea how Docker on Windows works, so dunno how much of an impact having it on a 'main' install would be

3:14 PM

i guess so.

Not saying put docker on the main install

but docker is just.... wlel, docker, and yaml files

When i say tools, I imagine editors etc.
