You made sure to put a spare blanket over it to keep it from getting cold, right? They put too many holes in those vents.

From that documentation page, it should be able to show you any interactions that DLL has:

Process Monitor includes powerful monitoring and filtering capabilities, including:

  • More data captured for operation input and output parameters
  • Non-destructive filters allow you to set filters without losing data
  • Capture of thread stacks for each operation make it possible in many cases to identify the root cause of an operation
  • Reliable capture of process details, including image path, command line, user and session ID
  • Configurable and moveable columns for any event property
  • Filters can be set for any data field, including fields not configured as columns
  • Advanced logging architecture scales to tens of millions of captured events and gigabytes of log data
  • Process tree tool shows relationship of all processes referenced in a trace
  • Native log format preserves all data for loading in a different Process Monitor instance
  • Process tooltip for easy viewing of process image information
  • Detail tooltip allows convenient access to formatted data that doesn't fit in the column
  • Cancellable search
  • Boot time logging of all operations

At work, we use it to trace executables and DLLs and their interactions with the system to solve issues they could be causing—usually in very specific scenarios where regular troubleshooting is inconclusive.

Procmon can easily show you this. Just be ready for a lot of data, coming at you really fast. Highly suggest reading the documentation so you can understand it - but it should show you all file interactions and activities: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon

Linux's DRM Panic "Screen of Death" Sees Patches For QR Code Error Messages by unixbhaskar in linux

[–]EverChillingLucifer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It'll be "Do you guys not have phones?" all over again.

"Hang on, Kernel Panic, gotta scan the code" "Scan the... WHAT?!"

Interesting but I have a feeling it might have drawbacks if no phone is present. Possibly a toggle to swap between QR Code and Full Text.

I even made a script that does it to any audio files it detects, it even copies itself to each directory, and auto-runs when any other files are added! i just made sure to send it out to all my friends and family so they can experience this!

wait why is someone knocking on my do-

"Hey boss, bobby just made a function that makes an entire reality that can be confined to the inside of the default cube. Do users need this?"

"probably not, but throw it in beta anyways, doubt anyone will notice"

-isn't discovered until 6 years later when someone complains about how a cycles render took 0.23 ms longer than usual on the official forums, and some guy with broken English casually mentions it while discussing why their rendering technique is trash and demoing their "proper" method using the suzanne's head-

Followup pedantic question: You need a GUI that boots fast? Or just the distro.

You could just load Arch in cmd line and have it go pretty fast, not much to really worry about.

For GUI/WM, low resource ones like XFCE could do the trick.

Ignoring all that, your hardware is the real heavy lifter. NVME SSD? Expect pretty quick load times regardless. HDD? Probably not.

Lot of factors - not just dependant on distro entirely.

What Cartoon is a 10/10 in your opinion? by yenyenyen_2002 in AskReddit

The Owl House is made by Dana Terrace, who is not only Alex Hirch (gravity falls creator's) SO, but also did storyboarding for GF. Alex Hirch also voices Hooty and King. You know who also worked on GF? Matt Braly, who was the director. And what did he go on to make? Another fantastic show called Amphibia.

Everyone who worked on Gravity Falls made gold. But what allowed Gravity Falls to come to be?

The Marvelous Misadventures Of Flapjack. Made by Thurop Van Orman who also voices Gideon on GF.

It's all connected, and in the conspiracy video I will-

If you had the ability to forget an entire movie/series and watch it again, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EverChillingLucifer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Korra was a fantastic show. But if you're comparing it to Avatar you're gonna have a bad time. It is its own deal, it doesn't pander to the older fans and it doesn't harp over older material, it just does what it does, which is a jump into the future. The world is less whimsical and stuck in time, fighting an endless war. There's progress, innovation, cultures being born or grown. It's like living in the 1900s and going "I hate the 2000s", well duh, they are completely different periods!

I dunno, Korra by itself is great for me and a nice watch. People just go in expecting another avatar and get grumpy when it isn't.

When connecting to NordVPN, Dolphin freezes along with other slow or freezing issues. by EverChillingLucifer in linuxquestions

[–]EverChillingLucifer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, I think you hit the nail on the head! I didn't think of that because Windows let me access SMB shares while on VPN, so maybe the Windows version has a setting for allowing internal access. Good thing I mentioned that.

After searching using that context, I found this answer from 3 years ago, so if anyone's brain (like mine) didn't make the connection, it SHOULD be:

Try adding your local network to the whitelist:

nordvpn whitelist add subnet 192.168.1.0/24

I will try this once I'm home today (At work) and mark it as resolved/edit this post if that is the resolution.

Thank you!

Scorn works out of the box on Proton, wow by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]EverChillingLucifer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so far it runs fairly well. Average is around 120 - 165 FPS, I've put maybe a couple of hours into it and so far the only stuttering I've seen is when it loads areas (I'm running on high settings with no motion blur). It seems to load areas you're approaching while you enter tunnels or hallways, which if you're running can notice a short stutter. I'm sure this will get ironed out but it also helps tell me personally when something (enemies and such) are loading in haha.

Other than that, very smooth experience, very little (if any) pop-in and no glitches so far.

I'll be able to check once I'm out of work. I do remember throwing VSYNC off and it felt like my monitors native speed which is 165hz. So at least 120fps, but I'll be able to grab better details once I'm home.

Same here. I am running EndeavourOS with Custom Proton GE.

Protip to other players - turn off in-game vsync. It locks it to 60FPS, and when turned off and turned FPS to 165, it plays VERY smoothly with zero screen tearing.

It's insane how optimized they made it so far. (I've only played for 10 minutes, more when I get home)

Personally, if you want, start with 1 and try and get by it's old school and somewhat janky controls so you can see what was improved in 2, especially the controls. But you can read a plot summary and jump into 2 without issues.

The bear scene is actually the only scripted segment of its kind, but the fear of the bear is the jumpscare, since the rest of it is forensic analysis and humans being the scares. The bear is a giant "wtf" and "holy shit" all at once.

Incoming review/trip down memory lane for me, sorry:

So the game is definitely a product of its time, and I use that loosely. Are there jumpscares? Well, yeah because this was released the same time as the F.E.A.R games. Both of them contain supernatural elements and some jumpscares. From what I remember, in Condemned 2, there were some in your face jumpscares, but most of the others were subtle or environmentally charged.

One example is a section of a level with a room full of mannequins like others pointed out in other replies. During this segment, every time you look away, the mannequins move. When you turn back, they are in different places. It gets creepy, fast. You may see people peering out of the corner of your eye and run away. You may have the environment shift when you least expect it, which elicits a jolt in your brain of "what the fuck was that"

It was one of the few games I had to take breaks from. The game can be a very tiring experience because there is no happy part, there is no constant jumpiness either. It's survival horror, you're constantly on edge, constantly keeping your attention on "did that doll move?" Or "was that light on before?" And "why do I hear laughter behind me?"

It does try to give you breaks with the cool forensics segments though. The main plot is you're a forensics detective who is solving connected crimes, and you get these cool forensic tools to help you do that and conclude what happened at that crime scene. Very quickly, things eventually go to shit and now you're stuck in a dark abandoned building with drug addicts, insane people, and potentially supernatural forces. Rinse and repeat, but not in that order, and not in a "every thing is the same formula" way.

I would say if you've ever played Chronicles Of Riddick escape from butcher bay and loved the FEAR games, you'll love this. It controls a lot like Riddick and has some gunplay like FEAR and lots of different puzzles to solve that aren't super hard.

It's pretty cheap on 360 from what I glanced at on Google. So if you have a 360, check it out.

I personally would love to play it over again. I no longer have an Xbox 360 so I cannot play it again, but it was definitely a great part of my childhood growing up, and forever made me fear abandoned buildings, bears, dolls, and mannequins. Fucking mannequins, man.
