@Bob do you know how to autostart on boot a WSL daemon? :S

better yet, to have it controlled by the windows service control manager?

looked at native nginx, but getting the million php modules joomla needs on windows is a pain and chocolatey doesn't even have them

@GDPR you're on 1803 right?

@GDPR autostart on 1803 is not directly supported but background tasks (daemons) are => blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/12/04/… <= so any tasks must be started or controlled on the Windows side

the easy way is to launch it with Task Scheduler

better yet, you can launch supervisord to get some semblence of a Linux-side service manager

@Bob yeah

alternatively you could configure a Windows service (via nssm or similar) to launch a (non-daemon) WSL instance just like any other application

FYI, "When you logoff your Windows session, all Linux instances are terminated because they’re all running within the user’s session … which is now terminated."

@Bob I have Firedaemon Pro - GUI equivalent of nssm

@Bob O_O even if they're running on a service account?

@GDPR ...I suppose that counts as a session? idk

never actually tried myself

I'd suggest supervisor if only because it can better manage errors on the Linux side :P

actually lemme test

3:14 AM

@Bob It's a chicken and the egg problem. Something on the Windows side has to launch WSL and start some process within WSL. If that process is supervisord, so be it, but supervisord itself can't be the start of the flow from boot.

Without explicitly configuring something Windows-side, on boot no WSL processes run

@GDPR Yes, I mean using Task Scheduler to launch supervisor

Then the risk is supervisor crashing which would leave the Linux session dead

@Bob why not an auto-starting windows service?

@GDPR Because I'd think that supervisor would be in a better position to handle e.g. Linux signals (reload?) - but a Windows service should also work!

You'd just want to make sure you run it under the right user account

I'm gonna go try it out now actually, one sec :P

@GDPR also I'd probably go winsw over nssm :P

3:28 AM

@GDPR Any idea how to runas the MS Store as another user? :P

@ThatBrazilianGuy have you ever come across a drupal installation that throws 502 errors for some users yet is returning 200s for others?

10:45 AM

@Burgi it always lasted more than a day or a week

i thought it was a weekend shrug

Ave

usually cities have pride weeks, with the parade on one day and other events on other days, the week is usually in the month

istanbul parade is on 24th, a couple of my friends had the parade on 4th and 18th etc

@Burgi yes, you can't be proud outside of that time frame. Alternatively you can't be eaten by lions outside of that time frame. I still need to figure that one out ...

interesting point

12:09 PM

@Burgi Not really, not with Drupal or any other CMS.

Isn't it a load balancing, DNS or proxy issue?

Like the other time where it totally wasn't, except it was?

A small example of GDPR stupidity:
We store customer's DOB. When they reach 64 we automatically put them on a Priority Services Register (so they get an engineer faster when they have a power cut)
So the customer calls us about their account, and we have to spend 5 minutes explaining what the register is and getting their permission to be on it before we can do anything else on their account.
As you might imagine the poor OAPs get terribly confused about what is happening ... :/

OAPs?

@ThatBrazilianGuy Old Age Pensioners

@DavidPostill Phrase it as "As a senior customer, you are eligible to priority service. In order for us to provide you priority service, we need your permission to record your age on our systems".

Dumb it down a little more and there you go.

@ThatBrazilianGuy Yeah, but we have a mandated script we have to read, which is a little bit longer than that :/

[redact] mandated scripts.

[redact] average call times with a [redact] in the manager's [redact]

8:07 PM

So, we have to explain what the register is, tell them it is free of charge, and then get two consents from them to say on the register. It does take 5 minutes ...

Two consents?

Yes. One for us to hold the data in the register and the other to share it with third parties (the guys who come out and actually make the repairs in their region).

GDPR is the "This site uses cookies" of the 20's. Makes as little sense and is equally ineffective and annoying.

Indeed

Yea, Zemalf!
