12:35 AM
@Bob r/woooosh
I was just joking
@Bob the thing is, it's not a program, it's an installer... and i thing unarc.dll is a decompressor or something like that
sorry for not listing the whole information stuff.. :<
 
@HomamGamer totally why writing out a question on the main site is encouraged
 
@Ramhound well.... the installer is requesting that dll, so what should i do rather than install\register it , i've seen a lot of youtube tutorials that registers the dll and it works
 
@HomamGamer if an installer is broken, talk to support
 
yeaaaaaaah, i don't think i can do that
 
If it's pirated we don't deal with that
 
12:44 AM
it's kind of ripped\ cracked game so + the installer is ripped from a codex cracking team and highly compressed, so.....
+ the installer compressing team is kinda local and indie af, so there's no contact info whatsoever
ik
 
Legality aside we donno what they did
 
but it's a genuine question, i'm not asking for or about pirated stuff, i'm just asking about how to install such dll
 
why can't you purchase the game legitimately?
 
But if it was legit you wouldn't beat your head against fixing it either
And the fix could range from just having the dll in the same place to go finding a tool to inject the dll into the right places in the installer
If you could do the latter... Well you wouldn't be asking us.
 
1:40 AM
So the issue is your AV
or your virtual memory
or your using a character in your user profile name that is causing the problem
or your user profile has a space in it
 
Bob
@HomamGamer The simple answer is you don't.
There's no such thing as "installing a dll" (generically)
very very specific types can be "installed" (COM servers are registered, as are .NET GAC libraries)
Generic DLLs are just bundles of code (or other resources). They're not installed. At all.
 
anyone got a CD pen?
 
Bob
It's just as meaningless as asking "how do you install a txt file" or "how do you install a word docx"
 
how do you install a pen?
 
Hi I have my car taken apart and I'm trying to install the brakes, where do I put the brake line?
 
1:50 AM
In the car, obviously.
 
hi i'm a person, how do i install the common sense?
 
What's a cd pen?
 
hi i install kali linux now my windows is gone help?
 
a pen that you write CD's with
 
lol. Lets tone down a little on the sarcasm plz....
ohhh
@Burgi I just use a sharpie.
 
1:52 AM
Or, if you're cheap and want offbrand... skerple.
 
@JourneymanGeek the nib is too large for the little pits
 
or any felt tip waterproof/"permanent" marker
@Burgi naw, you just need a green one.
 
@Burgi lol I get you
 
ANyway, lol
I've been where @HomamGamer gamer has been lol
the bad ol days of the early naughties.
 
i think this pen is more off brand than that
 
1:53 AM
And Sim Lim Square was a PROPER Hive of scum and villany.
 
Where a young lad with a tenner could get whatever his heart desired in a very very very dodgy fashion.
And occationally get accidentally shuttered into a shop during police raids.
 
good times ;)
I miss the place being so dodgy, and lively. Even without me buying pirated disks any more.
So I think "we don't deal with that sorta thing" seems appropriate lol
 
 
1:57 AM
yesterday, by bertieb
Chrome and WinRAR, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-<unhandled exception at 0xc00000fd, execution aborted>
@bertieb 0xc00000fd is a stack overflow.
 
#itsajoke
 
No, that's a website.
 
@bwDraco that was the joke...
 
:P
That doesn't make it any less funny.
 
i should point out that the CD i just burned was for legitimate backup purposes
 
1:59 AM
@MichaelFrank Clearly sir, you are a dad, and have many years of tormenting your spawn with terribad jokes.
 
Bob
 
lol @ "terribad"
 
Bob
SSLLabs == Hogwarts? :D
 
nn
 
@Burgi my philosophy towards piracy in general is "If you're going to crack it, you're going to be willing to beat it into working"
 
2:00 AM
Yes, definitely a Dad. My current favourite is "Hi Thirsty/Hungry, I'm Dad"
It drives my daughter up the wall.
 
@Bob Self-signed certificate?
 
Bob
@bwDraco one of the microsoft update domains lol
so it's not a normal root
 
2:10 AM
lol
(HP 45W AC adapter supplied with my ENVY x360)
 
What's that in the rest of the world degrees?
 
Oh rip.
I didn't even realise A+ was possible.
 
(blog.fierydragonlord.com; currently used for Firefox Sync and does not actually contain a blog, but one was previously hosted there)
 
Bob
oof, that lerna drama
 
2:21 AM
@bwDraco Is FFVX Royal Pack worth it?
 
I'd say it is, but read the pack description. The Windows and Royal Editions ship with the Royal Pack installed.
AIUI it adds a bunch of enhancements, including stuff like Armiger Unleashed.

Cool.
I already have the base game on PS4, but I see that the Royal Pack is cheap at the moment and wondered if it was worth picking up for whenever I end up starting the game up again.
 
It also enables you to freely sail in the Royal Vessel with several associated quests, and bunch of gear like special weapons and accessories that were originally pre-order bonuses or separate paid DLC.
Okay, now I remember.
It includes a completely overhauled final dungeon and several new quests that take place within it.
(you'd need to start a new game or use Chapter Select on a postgame save to access it)

Q: What DLC am I missing in the Royal Edition Pack and the Royal Edition Game?

Memor-XSo I got Final Fantasy XV on launch and since then been waiting for all the DLC to come out. About a month or so ago Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition came out and it seems that on PlayStation there are no longer any entries for Final Fantasy XV, only for the Royal Edition. Rhe Royal Edition says i...

 
Huh... That stack is blocked here at work.
 
@HomamGamer if the installer throws a dll error, chances are that you need some version of MS C++ redistributeable or something. Check with the dll name on the interwebz
Oh wait no unarc.dll
Dunno what that is
 
2:36 AM
@rahuldottech do keep up lol
 
It's probably windows smartscreen messing with you
@JourneymanGeek just got outta bed, lol. Still going through chat history
Also
 
ooh, that makes sense actually
 
I return to India today
 
Nah, it's cool. I gotta give exams, and I'll be living alone, which means I can concentrate on studies without any family drama or distractions
really looking forward to the peace
 
(sorry if a large GIF briefly appeared here)
 
If you need a suspension ;p
 
I would not post a 50+ MB GIF here.
@JourneymanGeek Mod hat?
 
naw @rahuldottech ;p
@bwDraco oh, I mean, if he needs help concentrating lol
 
2:41 AM
Whoops :)
 
Posting big gifs would annoy @DavidPostill more than me.
Unless I'm at work
 
@bwDraco Your A and download buttons seem to be having a party.
 
lol
Long story short, an openSUSE guest machine under Virtualbox will panic if it is suspended for too long.

Dog
I just bought myself a year's supply of drugs!
 
Dog
#ResponsibleUse
 
dude, you mean a year's supply of food, shelter and other useful things.
Also. WE HAD THE TALK ABOUT DRUGS. TOO MANY TIMES.
 
Dog
3:12 AM
Nah, ironically that would cost more
 
also will keep you alive.
 
Dog
Food, shelter, I have a reliable source of
Other useful things, I can do without, until I sort out my shit
Except internet. Internet is required. I have 3 whole internets.
 
Sort out your shit. Save it. Put it in a FD. IDK.
 
Dog
What's a FD? Fucked Duck?
 
fixed deposit? lowish interest, low risk, and you can't really spend it until it matures.
 
Dog
3:13 AM
Oh
 
Term Deposit?
 
Dog
We don't really have that here... at least nothing that's err... higher than inflation
 
or something.
 
Dog
Or the interest I'm paying on my debts
 
3:14 AM
pay off the debts then?
 
Dog
Best we have is like 1.5% PA
@JourneymanGeek If I had money to pay off my debts, I wouldn't have debts.
 
If you didn't have debts you'd not have to pay interest
 
Dog
If I didn't have debts I wouldn't be alive today
 
erm. If you had been more prudent, you might be alive and debt free. Just saying.
 
Dog
If I didn't have serious mental issues I might actually be able to be more prudent
 
3:19 AM
Worth sorting out too yes.
 
Dog
Yeah maybe in 50-100 years time we'll have the require level of neuroscience knowledge and technology to do that. Until then, YOLO!
Or we'll all be uploaded into the matrix by then, but either way, problem solved.

nullpointerSaaS(Souls as a Service) Dea is actually an Agile Soulware Developer. However unlike the developers we're familiar with, he has complete control of all aspects of the ecosystem. The raptures are basically his way of deprecating+recalling older products, and the next wave of life on Earth is the ...

@bwDraco Nice, I'm glad someone got the reference :)

7:37 AM
@JourneymanGeek I thought you wouldn't do that anymore ;p
Regardless. I think I've learned to focus and concentrate better :)
 
8:13 AM
my mac is broke :(
 
@Burgi sorry
did you backup everything?
 
fixed it
the battery had failed and the time wouldn't update

Dog
9:48 AM
Interesting. Sitting here and just doing what the computer tells me to do seems to be more profitable than looking at charts and making my own decisions or listening to other people.
I guess that since most trading these days is computerised HFT, a computer is better at guessing what other computers will do than humans cats
 
@Dog did you see my ping yesterday?
 
Dog
@Burgi No...
I didn't see much of anything yesterday
Ironically, the computer thinks its own success rate is -11000%
@bertieb Ermm
They run over the 3 network, which is why they're suspiciously cheap. 3G coverage is as good as any, but don't expect decent 4G coverage - they're catching up, but are still a distant last behind the "Big 3".
If you don't need good speeds or indoor coverage, they're fine. If you do need good indoor coverage... don't touch them with a bargepole. If you do need good speeds, they're... middling.
@rahuldottech I don't
@Bob Is that a good or bad thing? :-o
Oh Vodafone Hutchison.. ewwww
@Burgi They did. I'm currently lugging £13k of debt.
 
dude, thats not good
 
Dog
Meh
£15k if you include the £3k I lost on gambling in the last two weeks
 
Bob
@Dog a weird thing. I'm uncertain how to feel.
 
9:59 AM
@Dog i assume you think that your bitcoining is going to solve all your problems?
 
Bob
instinctive reaction is it's bad (TPG was supposed to be the 4th carrier with cheap data)
also with this that means the TPG wired network is no longer Australian owned
 
Dog
@Burgi Clearly.
@Bob Meh, Vodafone is the only UK network that's UK owned, and they're absysmal.
Literally worst in just about everything (except coverage, due to their network share with a foreign run operator doing all the work).
Ironically Vodafone in Spain is far better, as is Vodafone DE
 
Bob
@Dog not that locally owned is necessarily good, but it is a bit insulated from overseas issues
 
@Dog virgin mobile is the worst
 
Bob
virgin was an optus subsidiary here, dead as of last year
 
Dog
10:04 AM
@Bob Oh.
 
Bob
@Dog it could also be good, on the off chance they actually try to be competitive
and don't stuff up the entire network like when Vodafone and 3 merged 6 years ago
 
Dog
Well, two thirds of ours are EU owned, and the other one is Hong Kong-nese (Hutchison). Not sure what the Brexit business is gonna do to them, but I've not heard anything either way
 
Bob
(see Vodafail)
 
Dog
Oh I've seen Vodafail... tbh you hear the same stories about every network over here (British people just love to complain)... However they are objectively worse here, by a long shot
(As in everything mentioned in that Vodafail video you showed me has been said about every operator here)
 
Bob
10:16 AM
@Dog it was mostly just dropouts tbh
which happens to every network but voda was particularly bad
middle of cbd and all
 
Dog
10:48 AM
@Bob Meh, even our "best" rated network had awkward dropouts until Beacon project came along
Technical issues....
It's as if people who design the firmware/software for these radio controllers are software engineers and not rocket engineers
 
@Bob I am curious to how it will affect things here
 
Dog
I did manage to get my first "Network busy" trying to make a voice call in about ten years last week, in the middle of town on Vodafone, despite their panic-doubled-capacity for festival season
(On VoLTE no less)
 
@Dog Cool cheers that's good to know- I don't need much speed or data really; I'm paying £11/mo for 1GB which seems pricey and which rarely down't quite cover what I need so another fiver for an add-on
If they're good enough I'll probably change
 
Dog
@bertieb Do you mostly make phone calls or use data? And do you usually do it at home or on a commute or outside?
(Or abroad?)
 
@Dog I don't use all that much data, just when I'm not indoors or forget to toggle wifi back on
Voice calls probably less than 2 hours a week
I haven't been abroad in quite a while
And that's unlikely to change for at least a year or two
 
Dog
10:57 AM
Probably fine tbh. Though if you're just looking for cheap, GiffGaff is pretty cheap too
 
Aye, seen a fair few ads for them "the UK's #1 small network" so might take a gander
Cheers!
 
Dog
@bertieb They're run on O2, the UK's biggest network, actually
 
Aye
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek the TPG thing you have going on?
 
Dog
Although if you're in the west side of Scotland, the network's operated by Vodafone so I'd be er... a little hesitant
 
11:00 AM
I think I meant operator rather than network
 
Dog
That said, Vodafone pay the Chinese to run the network for them in Glasgow so the bits that aren't actually Vodafone work fine.
 
(I don't pay much attention to ads :P)
Ah okay
Might just stick with 3/iD
Will see that Three say when I ring them up to say "I'm leaving you for your cheaper MVNO"
 
Dog
@bertieb They'll beg you to stay and offer you a 50% discount or some shit
Which frankly, is the best way to get the best deal on any operator
 
I'd be happy with that if I can keep my "leave any time" contract
I suspect they'll say "ah, but 12 months"
Which would probably be grand considering how long I've been with them
I just don't like lock-in
 
11:14 AM
@Dog Hong Kong-ian?
 
Dog
@rahuldottech Yes. A Hong Kong shipping company runs our UK mobile network
Well, not so much runs, as owns, through several layers of subsidiaries.
 
@Dog no, I meant s/Hong Kong-nese/Hong Kong-ian/
But okay
Fun fact:
Carriers in India are about six thousand times better
Contracts are unheard of
Data is dirt cheap
Network coverage is now amazing
 
Dog
Carriers in Estonia are better too
 
they use pigeons
 
Dog
Our bureaucratic system just makes it hard for technology companies to install their technology. Too many NIMBYs
 
11:18 AM
@Bob yes
 
Dog
I mean phone companies have pretty damn good ways of hiding phone masts these days, but have issues getting landlords to allow them to do it
 
Ours just stick them atop buildings that are already ugly ;p
 
Dog
People who own the ugly buildings here kick them out. Even if they've been there for 20+ years already
Here's a nice hidden one ^^
 
There's one on the 'standard' point block next to me
well hidden by the fact its a blocky block
 
Dog
Those chimneys? Fake. That drainpipe that leads to nowhere? Cabling duct for the antenna.
Zoom in close enough you can just about see the cables coming out of the top of the drainpipe, going into that chimney cblock that has an odd number of screws holding it together for a supposed 200+ year old masonry blockk
I wanna buy one of these so I can get decent closeups of phone masts, but it's not available till 8th September
Unfortunately I'll either be bankrupt, or killed by this shoddy stack of monitors I've stuck together in an attempt to un-bankrupt myself by then.
 
11:26 AM
is this the bitcoin plan or are you going to get a job?
 
Its the bitcoin "plan"
 
Dog
@Burgi I'm not allowed to get a job, or I lose my benefits and, without which I'm not entitled to homeless housing
@JourneymanGeek Hey I made over $200 in 10 minutes, twice. I just happened to lose twice that much every time I manage
 
that sounds like they have you trapped
 
@Dog a plan involved planning.
 
Dog
@Burgi No shit
Google "Trapped in benefits system" and you'll see I'm not the first person cat in this predicament
On that note they're doing a charity fundraising do to raise money to feed the homeless cats downstairs
@JourneymanGeek Hey I planned to open this browser window
Also I haz more data, knowledge, patience, self discipline, and drugs to keep me sane now, so this plan might just work
I mean, I've managed to not lose another £3000 this week, so that's progress, right?
 
11:32 AM
no...
 
Dog
Heck I've even made 180% profits... of $8, because I'm limiting myself to small amounts until I figure out what I'm doing
 
technically this is a job...
 
12:03 PM
@Dog my kind of doggie
 
12:15 PM
Hrmm.... frowny face flashed Lineage 15.1 and now it seems to be taking a while on the splash page.

A: What are my rights if I am being paid too much?

Kilisi it shows my contract hours as 32 hours a week rather than 40, so 4 x 8-hours days. It shows my wage as £26000 You're not doing anything wrong, it's in the contract, so you're not being paid too much. Congratulate yourself and work well.

@Burgi I like how their username is "Lucky"

Bonjour, mes amis et amies.
 
En Français dans le texte
Hello everyone :)
 
"Good morning, my friends and... friends?"
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy male and female :p
 
Some of that Brazilian French, you say
 
But yeah, French is weird
 
1:56 PM
HA!
 
what about gender neutral words?
 
@Burgi Neu ... neutral?
Sorry, that ain't French
 
English is weird.
 
xD
 
In Brazilian Spanish I say "Soy brasileño y estoy feliz". In English I'm happy forever. (Or Brazilian temporarily?)
 
1:57 PM
we should tax you guys for speaking it or something
 
@Burgi mmh?
 
In Spanish I can get the flu and be healed in a few days. In English it becomes a part of who I am.
The difference between "to be" and... exception: concept not found.
 
2:10 PM
@ThatBrazilianGuy I have the flu / I got the flu works too
Unless I'm missing someone (wait, what?) something
Hands, y u do dis
 
Hands "don't look at us, we only do what the brain tells us"
Brain: "Hey, look! A squirrel!"
 
Brain: "That's not true and you know it. Now slap each other until you've learned your lesson!"
Me: "Ow, why are... my hands... clapping?"
 
2:27 PM
So we have new hires in our team. They got new PCs (and by "new PCs" I mean the same old PCs went to IT to be formatted and reinstalled).
The ticket said "Install Fedora 28 + Win 10 on these 2 PCs".
Each had a label on it, written "Install Fedora 28 & Win 10"
It took them three days and multiple calls for them to deliver it.
We just plugged them and booted. One has Win 10 and no Fedora. The other has Win 7 and no fedora.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡︵ ┻━┻
 
3:17 PM
lol
have you thought about becoming the helpdesk manager?
 
Then there would be other walls hindering work from being completed.
Some are political, some are managerial / lack of process and standardization, some are personal stagnation and laziness...
 
 
Whoo! Just landed in Delhi!
 
We just found out we'll have to request 35 domains from the network team.

Had a slightly squeaky and weird voice tho
@ThatBrazilianGuy nah
 
male with a boobjob?
 
Nah. Anime girl.
"Welcome to Anime Airlines, we're arriving at Delhi"
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy lots of unnecessary jiggling and giggling?
@rahuldottech you mean she had a pulse?
 
3:51 PM
@Burgi excuse me. I have standards. Hmph. ಠ_ಠ
 
Bob
4:07 PM
Ok. Can anyone suggest a bandwidth monitor (SNMP or NetFlow)?
Home use, network accessible (vs desktop client) preferred
...preferably not solarwinds lol
 
@Burgi @rahuldottech should've checked for suspicious hair colors
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy brown with golden streaks. Curly. Short. HOT
 
4:26 PM
> We are not in a relationship, we just hang out and bang and get food on occasion lol
//cough
 
> jiggling and giggling
@Burgi I see what you did there...
@XKCD Brazilian trivia: in Brazil, a relationship between cousins isn't nearly as taboo as in the US.
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy from what I've read on Reddit, sexual relationships b/w cousins are not uncommon in the US.
Just not talked about because of said taboo
 
@rahuldottech from what I've read on Reddit, every male is a badass and dates a pornstar
It's on the internet, so it's both true and unexaggerated!

@Bob LOL!!!!!!! I love this.
 
When using the "activate a product" on steam, I accidentally pasted a KeepassX password. But i shouldn't be able to. It had expired. How can Steam "remember" the already expired Ctr+C?
When trying to paste it on a text file, there is nothing to paste (since it has expired). But I am able to paste it on "Activate a product".
Is this a bug? Is it a security concern? Is such a question valid for this SE site?
 
Bob
Linux?
Probably just shitty clipboard handling.
 
yes, ubuntu
 
6:24 PM
@Fermiparadox steam isn't remembering anything. Probably a KeepassX bug. Or an Ubuntu one.
Ugh I'm so terribly exhausted goodnight folks
 
Good night

I wonder what their response will be.
Well. Looks like we're getting our own DNS server and NS authority.
I might not have used the correct term.
This is me right now:
What better way than to learn in production?
Anyway we'll get <myteam>.<myorg>.br, ns.<myteam>.<myorg>.br and therefore anything.<myteam>.<myorg>.br
For anything on the upper level we'll still have to follow proper channels.
Which is a Good Thing (TM)
