@JourneymanGeek We have these style cables - cdlnz.com/network-cables/pl200/plc620

@MichaelFrank get the sort with boots

Q: Is it possible to gain access to a password-protected WinRAR file without brute-forcing it?

My reasoning: password-protected WinRar zip files are locally-stored. Therefore, the password - or some key to cracking them - must be locally-stored, too. It strikes me that it'd be much easier to find where that password or key is stored on the machine rather than brute-forcing it - a solution ...

Journeyman Geek

meh question, good answer

Also for the second time in as many minutes...

That's ... not how it works ;p

Michael Frank

I guess the OP figures getting into the archive is the same as getting into a club with a whitelist. Get the list, get into the club. In reality it could be closer to something like The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

Journeyman Geek

OP also dosen't get that you don't need a plain text password, only a hash

Q: Remove Un-needed Windows Components

When installing Visual Studio, Windows installed a bunch of components along with everything that was already there. Now I uninstalled Visual Studio, but don't know which components I can safely uninstall. How can I determine which I can and can't remove. I'm doing this from Control Panel > Unins...

windows-8.1 components

Alright.. Can I remove .net framework that's a "developer pack"

Journeyman Geek

yanno

I'm half certain linking your own question here gets it closevoted

David

;-;

Journeyman Geek

Oh, my closevotes are super closevotes

David

I cry

Journeyman Geek

1:32 AM

It is unclear though

David

-.-

Journeyman Geek

there's typically a bunch of runtimes with are called visual studio runtimes, and removing them breaks things

Ben N

Yeah, the Visual C++ Runtimes are needed for basically everything

If you remove a developer pack (or a multi-targeting pack), you'll lose the ability to compile for that platform

Journeyman Geek

tbh, that needs to be in your question

With a screenshot maybe of the add remove screen with an example of those packs visible

Ben N

Yep, there are a lot of things in that list usually, and currently I'm not sure which you're referring to

Journeyman Geek

1:39 AM

Don't assume we're psysic. That's a 1 megarep privilege ;)

David

I'm wasted. I could barely post that information

Psycogeek

just how many things do you have in programs and features uninstall?
for the most part you can uninstall every item in there, then re-install only nessisary things like Re-distributals needed to run programs when they complain about it. any program that then crashes or fails to operate with things gone, you just find out the dependencies for it and reinstall

There were ways back some to keep stuff like that from happening again.
Trace the installs, with an unistaller program, they will more thourougly uninstall progams and parts and pieces.

David

That's maybe 1/3 of them

@Psycogeek

Psycogeek

Have cloned your system partition, prior to an install:
If you keep a nice tight OS partition, and put your "Data" instead on other disks or partitions, then a "image file" of that system can be made easily and of a managable size.
So you can have images like , Clean Install , Pre - installing some game , preinstalling programs that put a LOT of junk in the registry.

David

So I should uninstall all of those?

Michael Frank

1:51 AM

That's like ~500mb... how small is your HDD?!

Psycogeek

@David that is Par for an unmanaged system, and is unlikely to hurt anything. Yes it could be cleaned up, Yes you will probably have to re-install a FEW of the re-distributals

David

Okay so for now tho, I should clear them

Psycogeek

I said you Could clear all of them, meaning you will still be able to boot :-) so yes you could begin to manage them.
But
Back with the backup stuff, If you (even this late) make a Clone , or Clone Image of it, you could reek havoc without thinking, and always bring it back.

David

Windows wouldn't let me brick it from control panel uninstall... would it?

Michael Frank

@David Find out and let us know ;)

David

1:59 AM

Okay -_-

Psycogeek

Managing them, would be to uninstall specific sets , after discovering what they are used for, then possibly re-instaling one reditributable instead of 6 versions.
Some programs install and properly use ONLY the one version, because todays MS system that prevents "dll hell" Each program could use a versioned distributable.

So some programs will use the one installed by other programs, and some other program will in-so-much as crash or error when the special one they wanted is not there.

Michael Frank

Gah.... Even more people are asking me to tell them the exact time the meeting room phone failed to register with the gateway. It's a phone in a meeting room... There's not someone in there watching it 24/7.

I don't care if 10mins of data takes an hour to download, fix my bloody phone.

Psycogeek

2:22 AM

@David yea you could get a fear of bricking, from uninstalling the wrong things, like MS updates to the OS, they don't always Uninstall correctally. very low likely that you couldn't get all the way into the OS , after removing sub-system parts and pieces

Journeyman Geek

@David TIL stackoverflow.com/questions/4787406/…

MOST of those look like things you don't need to touch

David

Welp.

I just uninstalled all of 'em

Psycogeek

then your all set , need any more help? i can show you how to remove all your hard drives next :-) Inside joke

David

Yea i got a question

how can i download more ram ;)

Journeyman Geek

@David if anything breaks shrug

You can probably reinstall them

David

2:40 AM

@JourneymanGeek any idea why SQL server 2008 wouldn't uninstall?

Journeyman Geek

!!hv

boo

Probably cause you uninstalled all the runtimes.

David

jmalais

2:53 AM

Hey guys, can anyone help me understand port forwarding, static ip, etc...

I am trying to set up my WD My Cloud with Plex Media Server and allow remote access.

I forwarded my port as per the directions: support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200931138 - but am not sure how to set up the static IP for the My Cloud device properly (see: support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/…)

Bob

@JourneymanGeek ugh.

Journeyman Geek

@jmalais what part of that don't you get?

and actually typically your ip dosen't really change that often on your typical consumer setup

jmalais

I guess the first part I am not understanding is does static IP vs DHCP mean that the local ip won't change only?

Journeyman Geek

@jmalais this is a static IP in your lan.

jmalais

@journeymangeek I see, well than the static IP is probably an unnecessary step. That being the case

Journeyman Geek

3:02 AM

but once again typically, even without an IP address reservation on your router, and a static IP, unless something went wrong, this part of your setup would be trivial

I'd be more concerned about the stuff past your router

jmalais

Where am I going wrong? The port is forwarded, but outside computers can't access it. I disabled DMZ or some setting like that for the Cloud device, wouldn't this allow access to my device from remote?

Journeyman Geek

since your ISP probably uses a dynamic IP or worse, CGN

ah!

What port?

jmalais

the port is 32400, the default for plex media server

Journeyman Geek

DMZ = send all the data not explicitly forwarded to a specific system.

ah, that port is unlikely to be blocked.

jmalais

so DMZ essentially means that any data sent to ANY port goes to that device? so therefore that is not what i need

correct?

Journeyman Geek

3:04 AM

are you sure your IP address uis actually routable?

Michael Frank

@jmalais What does the Plex settings say about being reachable from outside?

Journeyman Geek

@jmalais if you don't know what it is, you don't typically need it.

jmalais

support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200484543-Connecting-a-Server

this is the help article i need to follow...my modem has limited settings than most I assume so it isn't easy to navigate what i need

Michael Frank

What are you running Plex on?

jmalais

So there is an option to enable a WAN ip address for the device, but that would require me to disable the firewall entirely for that device. What alternatives do I have if that is an option?

@MichaelFrank MyCloud EX2

Michael Frank

3:08 AM

Okay, and what is the modem model?

jmalais

2wire 3600hgv - setuprouter.com/router/2wire/3600hgv/manual-1318.pdf

Michael Frank

Try this: portforward.com/2wire/3600hgv

Assuming you give your MyCloud a static IP, eg 192.168.1.100

Step 4 has an option to pick a service, Plex is listed there.

jmalais

I have done this, forwarded my port.

Michael Frank

Punch 32400 into the ShieldsUp! box at grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2

jmalais

I have not chosen a static IP yet, because I don't understand how to make the My Cloud static and not my PC which, when I download that utility is giving me the option for

Michael Frank

3:17 AM

The static IP is only local

Bob

If your ISP uses CGN then no amount of local port forwarding will help.

jmalais

32400
Stealth Unknown Protocol for this port
Unknown Application for this port

are my results

how would i know? my isp is att-uverse

Michael Frank

Looks like they do use CGN

Oliver Salzburg

@Bob Maybe they Base64 encoded it for transit

@Rahul2001 We do

Rahul2001

@OliverSalzburg But... isn't it like literally just overpriced cloud storage?

Oliver Salzburg

@Rahul2001 Oh no, it allows you to use the full suite of Adobe software

And you can dynamically assign the licences you have to different users in your organization. And the price is very reasonable IMHO

Rahul2001

@OliverSalzburg That's gotta be the first time that someone has called adobe pricing reasonable.

Oliver Salzburg

@Rahul2001 Their fixed licenses they had before CC were very expensive. Especially for small companies or individuals

In comparison, the new license model is very nice

Rahul2001

1:10 PM

in "comparison" :P

Bob

hm

premiere appears to have lost the youtube preset

and the h.264 encoder

wat

Burgi

@Rahul2001 my company does

Bob

well that's a pile of shit

Burgi

in the UK its a 10k fine per machine per copy of software

Oliver Salzburg

CC is 50 bucks/month IIRC. If you're using the software professional, that's probably nothing compared to the money you're making using the software

Burgi

1:13 PM

the plus side is that i get to use my work license at home as long as my work copy is not on at the same time

Oliver Salzburg

And it's more affordable than having to pay 1000 for a license for a fixed version

@Burgi Yeah, that's a huge benefit for me as well

And one of the very common issues in the past was with freelancers. Your company would be using CS6, the freelancer only had CS4 or CS5

Now you just lend them a license and you're good to go

Burgi

as a professional software developer its only ethical that i pay for software that i use because i expect to be paid for the software i create

Journeyman Geek

>_>

@Burgi though its a difference from paying once for a product licence in perpetuity to paying for a licence per month

Burgi

true

Journeyman Geek

Over not paying at all arrrrrrr

Rahul2001

1:18 PM

@Burgi I create free software. Also, that ^

Bob

@JourneymanGeek in perpetuity with an old version :\

Rahul2001

Burgi

@Rahul2001 the principle still stands

Rahul2001

@Bob Only because they don't offer lifetime licenses for the new version

Burgi

the cost of software for students is stupidly high

Journeyman Geek

1:20 PM

@Bob which is often good enough

Oliver Salzburg

For me it's actually a lot easier and faster to just buy a software than to figure out where to get a "free copy" :P

Burgi

or you can only pay for the months that you use it

Journeyman Geek

though my workplace before last stuck to an older version cause they didn't have a new version of a mission critical plugin

@OliverSalzburg its trivial, but I typically just go for an alternative if I don't want to pay for it

I'm happier with paint.net for what I need to do than PS for example
