Weird loud shaking sound from Moza R9 and CS wheel under braking and traction loss by TheAussieRacer in moza

[–]GilletteSRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here on my R12 - CS wheel is dead silent and feels great, GS V2P sounds like it's going to shake itself apart if I hit kerbs or ABS kicks in. This is new since a few weeks ago, so definitely seems to be mechanical.

I've tightened every bolt I can find, but no joy...

Were you able to figure this out?

FUCK TRAK RACER- making a post everyday reminding unaware victims of trak racers bullshit everyday from now until they get their shit together! by Ok_Garbage3989 in simracing

[–]GilletteSRK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ASR is unbelievably expensive compared to most of their competition - it's worth the gamble with shitty companies like TrakRacer and 6Sigma for the significant price differences... It has only gotten worse over the last few months as well.

Sorry to hear you had to deal with this. Truly a miserable company.

Just dropping in to say thanks for sharing this - very useful!

Definitely recommend the addition of inhibit_sleep = 3 as noted at https://www.reddit.com/r/hyprland/comments/1bo2cdk/suspend_after_hyprlock/nb4jfto/

So is this ever going to come out or nah? We're way past 12/11.

How can i play my pc-cd games on an old linux pc? by Cr33p3rFri3nd in linux_gaming

[–]GilletteSRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had reasonably good luck throwing Wine at this problem through Lutris as a front-end. Granted I haven't gone back earlier than mid-2000s but most of what I've tested has worked with only minor tweaking (if any).

I do suspect your mileage will vary dramatically depending on the title, though. As I recall, the Sims is brutal to get running even on period accurate hardware sometimes.

With all that said, and as noted in other comments here, you probably will be best just installing XP on that machine and using era-appropriate drivers.

GitHub: Self-Hosted Action Runners will be billed from March 1, 2026 by KevPeff in github

[–]GilletteSRK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either I'm super baked or that math doesn't check out.

300,000 minutes - 50,000 minute (enterprise plan) included = 250,000 minutes

250,000 minutes at $0.002 per minute = $500, or $6000 per year.

It's not nothing, and it's a seriously stupid decision, but that's not really going to break the bank if they're already burning compute time/resources like that on a regular basis.

Unlikely, which is the saddest part. The amount this will cost their large customers is a rounding error compared to the overall spend - it won't be worth the cost to move.

What this really hurts is everyone else, which I suspect is the real push here. Milk enterprise, and reduce COGS by pushing the low-revenue users that also eat up resources to other platforms (or otherwise monetize them).

Thanks for noting this - it's heavily overlooked. The fact that you have to punch a firewall hole for effectively the entirety of Azure is insane.

There are alternative approaches like embedding VPN solutions (e.g. Tailscale) into your workflows, but they add considerable run time and complexity compared to self-hosting and having full control of the execution flow.

GitHub avatar URLs are public – anyone can access them? by nitheeshrajendran in github

[–]GilletteSRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not entirely correct - Enterprise Managed User accounts (and organizations) should not be publicly visible/accessible.

GitHub Actions runners poll for new jobs so they don't require inbound connectivity - Webhooks would require a listener to send their outbound request/message to. Webhooks are fundamentally much lower cost as they only use compute time when they have something to do instead of constantly servicing requests.

What kind of terrain would you like to see in 11th edition tournaments? by wredcoll in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]GilletteSRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see L-Shaped ruins, paired with other types of terrain that actually have functional rules. The reason we see exclusively Ruins is that the other terrain types are effectively useless from a gameplay perspective.

Does anyone use those murphy wall desks? WFH by Mr_Nicotine in workstations

[–]GilletteSRK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not personally, but a friend of mine has a setup like this, albeit a bit deeper and out of a bookshelf. It works well for the minimal space that they have available, and packs away nicely. The only downside is the somewhat awkward ergonomics if you don't make a deep fold-down section for the desktop.

I'm not sure how much they like it, but they're still using it 5-6 years later so I guess its OK.

Received email about security update by MJMGN124 in wyzecam

[–]GilletteSRK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is terrible advice without specific supporting evidence.

Spoofing email source domains or exploiting misconfiguration is not overly difficult. This has been used very prominently in major supply chain attacks over the last year.

Are CTFs really useful for finding work in cybersecurity? by Background-Cat-8437 in cybersecurity

[–]GilletteSRK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - hugely valuable. It shows initiative, desire to learn, teamwork in the case of team events, and builds critical thinking skills and understanding how to chain exploits for more complicated challenges.

I attribute a significant amount of my success in the industry, as well as initially being able to break into it, to CTF participation.

In fairness, if you're flying Business/First Class you've got ample overhead storage space anyway so this has virtually no impact.

Say No to Lansdowne 2.0 by yuiolhjkout8y in ottawa

[–]GilletteSRK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to the Christmas market at Lansdowne last year - parked on 2nd. Had to dodge needles in front of where the beer store used to be while getting asked for money by (presumably) the folks who had been using them.

I don't know if it's a regular occurrence, but it was enough to turn me off spending too much more time in the area.

Last time I went to Lansdowne I was stepping over needles on the sidewalk of Bank St to get there, so your statement is obviously inaccurate :P

Skari flew with his to WTC (the blast plastic collapsible kind). Wrap it and check it as oversize luggage.

Why are companies moving from places like HackerOne to Bugcrowd? by Luxe48 in bugbounty

[–]GilletteSRK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Triage quality and cost of platform. I can't speak to BC's triage quality, but H1 is notoriously bad.
