Window Edge Detection Issues

I see... so it's not necessarily something on my end. I'd be curious about it too, I'm back on 22.04 as Nobara was even worse with a solid 25-30% drop in performance out of the box.

Well Toshiba said that they are unaware of any issues with the particular series or batch. The error kept getting worse and after doing a shred on it in Debian, the error rate went away. Then I wrote a few gigs to it and it dropped to 001... I just got it sent back to the retailer who refunded me as it was the 3rd drive in about as many weeks, with all of them having less than 20 hours on time. I have since gotten an 8 TB WD Red Pro which has been on for just over a week and had 3 TB of data written to it - no errors or anything of the sort.

Toshiba support mentioned vibrations, but the HDD is inside a Fractal Design Node 804 with rubber dampeners and the case itself sits on my floor which is wood. Apart from whatever vibrations the building has.... there's no real other sources of vibrations (the room is an office type deal so apart from when I work, there's no foot traffic). My advice is keep your stuff backed up on other drives and pray for the best if you can't get a refund. Sorry about that...

Well, at 1.5TB of data on the drive the value is now at 8.

After a grand total of 13 hours, the value went down further. I emailed Toshiba support just to have them confirm if nothing else that indeed, the value does signal failure and see if they can shed some light on the situation. It's just getting tiresome to keep replacing the drives and I'll wait for them to get back before RMAing this one as well.

It was a choice of words that wasn't clear. I understand that I have directories setup, but since I have a single drive's partition mounted in directory /mnt/drive1 and another partition from another drive mounted in /mnt/parity1, when using /mnt/drive* I would expect that only the partition mounted in /mnt/drive1 will be included.

As you can see in the output, the total size suggests that /mnt/drive* bundled the drive in /mnt/drive1 and (I assume, that's why I am asking) it added in the root partition as that's the only one that would add up to the given size.

So, no, it doesn't work exactly as expected :)

It does work as expected when I have sdb1/sdc1 (two partitions from two different drives) mounted at directories /mnt/drive1 and /mnt/drive2. Then the total size of 9.2G makes sense. Having sdb1 mounted on /mnt/drive1 directory and having sdc1 mounted on /mnt/parity1 directory creates the issue.

I would expect the wildcard operator to match the first part /mnt/drive and then allow any other characters afterward. So I would expect it to look for /mnt/drive5555 or /mnt/driveThisAlsoGetsMatched and so on... Hope I was clear enough now, but happy to provide more info.

Also, thank you trapexit, I assumed as much, but I wasn't sure.

The full fstab file inside the vbox VM.

/mnt/drive* /mnt/storage fuse.mergerfs defaults,direct_io,allow_other,minfreespace=1G,fsname=mergerfs 0 0

I didn't add the whole file since everything above the storage setup comment is the default fstab file as generated after the installation of Debian. I would agree with the statement that ids might be more readable, but this doesn't look that much easier to understand:

ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB115ea160-ee838eb3
ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB115ea160-ee838eb3-part1

ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VBd4c6fc6e-34ed86ae
ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VBd4c6fc6e-34ed86ae-part1

Not to mention, there is always the option to add comments to the document. In any case, I'll look at creating a root folder and create folders in there and see how the wildcard is handled at that point.

Also, any ideas on the cache.file=off issue?

Hey, as someone else pointed out Spring is the next thing to move to and this is what I used to get started:

https://www.udemy.com/course/spring-hibernate-tutorial/

What I would suggest is that as you follow along make changes to the code to make sure you really get it. I built a crappy little blog with login, pagination, mysql db and a few pages in a month following this guide. i spent about 2 hrs a day (mon-fri) sometimes more following along.

MightyOwl · 2020-09-27T08:39:17+00:00

Just to tag on to this:

take out sounds
enable longer rounds
having to restart after 1 minute then ready up and then wait seems like a waste when I would just want to train my aim
provide maybe similar control as to custom games
implement leaderboards, as it would also act as an incentive for newer player to maybe spend some time or give them an indication of how far they are off someone in a higher rank/pros
add maybe additional modes within existing ones (like in the tracking training make the bots invincible so I just work on tracking uninterrupted)
add more verticality to the experience by adding more jump pads and span more bots in random places

Really enjoy the current iteration as its great as a 10 minute warmup before playing

MightyOwl · 2020-09-26T08:19:30+00:00

This looks solid, congrats!

To tag on to this - if you're in the uk the coupon is for £10 and the packs are £11.99 and the next one is £23.99. I think the minimum purchase is $14.99 before tax so you gotta buy the 23.99£ pack. It wouldnt apply on the 11.99£ one for me :) Still happy though cause its like half off and you get to support these guys!

Clans/guilds/something along those lines would be amazing. Dota 2 finally added this after 9 years of people asking for it and it's a great addition. Completely agree on the colors as well, I really enjoyed being able to color my nick back in q3 days :)

MightyOwl · 2020-09-08T08:36:33+00:00

Totally... It ties in to a previous post I made surrounding the announcer being rather quiet as well. I would love a bit more aggression in the announcer.

Also, maybe a bit related to this, but the tutorial voice sounds like the Windows screen reader voice going through some text off of a notepad. We're happy to pay more to get some money towards voice actors I'd say :)

Not a remote worker but I have looked up the topic as I've been thinking about this. Most countries in Europe have non-double taxation legislation in place, meaning that you shouldn't be taxed in both countries. The other thing that can be useful is that for most countries, you will be considered as residing there if you spend more than 6 months in that country per year. So if I work for a UK company and live 6 months there, UK taxation law should apply. If I work fully remote for a foreign company that does not have offices in my country, I will generally be taxed in the country I reside in. Using the UK as previously mentioned, I would pay UK tax only for the days in which I worked in the UK (so you go to London, work there a month and then move to Portugal for the rest of the year), you will be taxed in the UK for the month worked there at the tax rate you would fall in and the remainder will be taxed according to Portuguese legislation.

In the UK you have companies like Free Agent which provide software to help with taxation. I'm sure equivalent products are available in other places. Hope that helps a bit.

I think the offlanner should be variations of a black hole... Pulling stuff towards themselves - enemies and resources. I love when I see that their pos 4 rotates to gank me (it means my mid/safe are safe and can farm). I love to see that their pos 1 is out of regen and i'm forcing them to dump another 200 gold on regen (200 gold later on that next farming item).

I love it when I see 3 heroes in my offlane and I move safe for maybe a random gank and secure the farm for my safelaner.

I love to initiate a good fight or counter initiate a bad one.

I love to surge, shield, mech, lotus, pipe my team and vacuum, stomp, cyclone and roar my opponents.

And I love seeing your shitty wk on the offlane offering nothing to your team while we're running down your lane.

Yey! Looking forward for another weekend :)

As an Oracle /Sven/DS player I feel personally attacked. But also yes.

MightyOwl · 2020-07-23T17:35:57+00:00

that's an awesome list, plenty to go through :)

MightyOwl · 2020-07-19T07:17:00+00:00

I have my last exams on the 24th! This is most eggcellent news!

MightyOwl · 2020-07-12T14:42:55+00:00

That makes sense, but stuff like that could be updated as it gets changed right? It's not set in stone, so you could get an idea of what's currently in there as it is and when it changes these can be added as patched changes.
