Any engineers/devs here? If yes, please tell me what you're working on. I wanna make some questions on some random products.

@JohnZhau What kind of questions?

Also, song of the day:

Unbesiegt

Title translates to "Undefeated"

The final verse, translated:

> Many have I seen go down, too many to ever understand. But I never regret even one day on this path. Shall they look down on me, I do not care, I shall prevail. And you, my friend, I am your witness, be bleeding, but undefeated.

Words to live by.

Depends on what you dev job is. Just questions about the work and products I guess.

just another "learning about random stuff" thing of mine

@JohnZhau Well, a lot of us are under NDA. That's why I asked what kind of questions you want to ask

@DjVasu Please ask this on the appropriate site (probably Server Fault)

Also, shameless plug:

Q: Why does Wireshark not recognize WCF traffic as TLS encrypted?

In a .NET application, communication between client and service can be implemented using various different bindings, NetTcpBinding being one of them. The class defines an attribute named Security, which, according to this article, defaults to Transport. This further article explains how Transpo...

@MechMK1 That was really weird

Had to look it up on KnowYourMemes

Oh, and the real song of the day is

a Eurovision song created by Artificial Intelligence: Blue Jeans and Bloody Tears

Those memes are already too obscure for you?

@MechMK1 Decompile and recompile? Tools like Reflector and dotPeek have the ability to export assemblies to projects. That's probably the easiest way. Depending on what changes you're making, there's also ILDAMS/ILASM if you don't mind working directly with MSIL. I'm not aware of a way to persistently edit the assembly directly.

@MechMK1 Most memes are too obscure for me

MechMK1

@Xander I wish I could, but the project uses some native WCF stuff that got me to run into errors. Anyways, I just got good at breakpoints and data manipulation :D

@FireQuacker I can't even reference obscure /b/ memes because of KYM

@MechMK1 Ah, yeah. that would be a problem.

Though if the "edit-and-run" feature would work for compiled assemblies, that'd be dope as fuck

Only works if you have the source AFAIK

and my 3yo boy just dropped my thinkpad from the table and killed the hdd

ddrescue to the rescue? not this time, this time was bad... after 1h40m of valiant effort, dd-rescue rescued 4194kb and the bad-sector figures are close to 240gb, on a 1tb drive...

the disk is luks-encrypted, so unless I can recover the luks header (not even remotely dreaming about it), the data is toast. I have backups of most of it, but not everything

Fire Quacker

Oof, that's too bad

Dropping is enough to kill an HDD?

ThoriumBR

never underestimate a 3yo...

I had thinkpads since 2006, and I've seen them rolling downstairs, being sit onto, hit by all sorts of things, I even dropped a lot of orange juice on one, but they all survived

the drop wasn't even that big, around 40cm, and the hdd is filled with bad sectors

I recovered close to 4mb, and there's about 250gn now marked as bad sector

and that 400gb database dump file that I deleted from the external disk to copy something will be missed...
