I dont know that religion but i respect it and since its something with food ( what i love... ) I Welcome it even more

It's not really a religious holiday as much as an American holiday.

Spoiler

which of course, now is celebrated by those that wiped out the indigenous peoples that they shared their table with... but that's the rest of the story (RIP Paul Harvey)

Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: pCloud

« Last post by wraith808 on November 22, 2018, 11:46 AM »

pCloud is having a sale on lifetime storage.  They say 75%, but I think that's in comparison to the monthly cost.  It's really about 30% off normal lifetime costs.

$122.5 for 500GB or $245 for 2TB.  Comes with a similar amount of download traffic.  I've been happy with it.

I wonder if it's a new(ish) policy to just drop off the package and leave.

I get notifications on my phone from UPS, USPS, and Amazon, whenever a package is delivered. Amazon even sends me a photo of the package sitting in my hallway.

TL;DR - Check out windows update blocker.  It really does work.  The only annoyance I've found is that if you block with an update pending, it will keep warning you about that update.  I just click delay every day on that particular machine.  But Windows really never updates.

Something legible would be nice. How about black? Or if you must change the color, how about a nice, dark, forest green?

-Deozaan (November 16, 2018, 11:12 AM)

Or just black.  Use Italics, Bold, and Underline for emphasis

-wraith808 (November 16, 2018, 01:43 PM)

That's what I said.

Bold, italics, and underline added for emphasis.

Dokan is the library that they use to mount your keybase drive to a drive letter.  The secret phrase should have been given to you when you created your password.  It's something so that you can verify that you don't just have the password when you attach.  I believe you can also authenticate by some other machine- It's been a while since I've done it.  You can also generate one by opening a command prompt and typing

Code: Text [Select]

1. keybase paperkey

Living Room / Re: Is there a way to easily carry earphones for my mobile?

« Last post by wraith808 on November 13, 2018, 08:08 PM »

Duct tape your mobile to your head so you don't need earphones.

-Deozaan (November 13, 2018, 07:10 PM)

I think it would make more sense to duct tape the earphones in your ear.  That way you don't have to worry about carrying them.

Hm, though LogFusion looks like a fine log viewer, I'm afraid it doesn't handle the json-like format that is currently output by ProcessWatcher. We'll have to wait for mouser to choose another format before LogFusion is useful in this context.

-Ath (November 12, 2018, 02:01 PM)

Haven't tried it with JSON, but as what's there is only json-like, was waiting until he decided what that format might be in order to test.  Just showing as a suggestion for what I use for log files in general.

Another GUI tool/task would be for filtering/searching the log-data, and that could even be the same tool, AFAICS.

This is what I use for that on my logs: https://www.logfusion.ca/

I think making those options would be a good thing, i.e. where to store, how often to take snapshots, and max size of file.  Also, I think that using a standard type log for this would make it useful, i.e. csv or tab-separated so that the data could be processed easily.  I like where it's  going though.

With Keybase, I see lots about chat and teams, not a way to upload HTML files to have an accessible page.  Am I missing something?

-Steven Avery (November 08, 2018, 01:31 AM)

https://keybase.io/docs/kbfs

This link explains the basic concepts pretty well, and don't get scared off simply because it shows some command-line stuff. The process is very doable with simple drag and drop in your explorer.

After you install the Keybase app, you will get what appears to be a "network drive" on your computer. Just store the HTML pages on that drive and you will be able to access them from anywhere on the internet. Use the public folder for things that anybody can see. Use the private folder for things that only you can see.

-Deozaan (November 08, 2018, 01:52 AM)

It's a lot easier than many make it out to be, and I find it very useful.

« Last post by wraith808 on November 06, 2018, 08:22 AM »

BitCoin is notoriously inefficient to "mine" and this is by design.

-Shades (November 06, 2018, 07:46 AM)

And this is understood.  But if the cost to mine in terms of planetary resources puts more strain on the rest of the planet, doesn't that have to be considered?  Especially if it's by design?
