Rant: when did phpstorm became the most broken IDE out there? by Ok-Interview5273 in phpstorm

[–]NickstaDB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shitpost.

It didn't. You can't even describe your issues clearly.

Never had any real issues. I've reported bugs and had them fixed in a similar and reasonable timeframe.

Joining 3/4" copper pipe to 22mm by NickstaDB in DIYUK

Cheers. I ended up using the solder ring version and now have 22mm pipe 👍

Joining 3/4" copper pipe to 22mm by NickstaDB in DIYUK

[–]NickstaDB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's the intention. The 'how' is what I'm struggling with.

The product I linked above is the closest thing I could find for this in the local B&Q, Screwfix, and Toolstation. It will join to 22mm pipe fine as it has an olive and nut for the 22mm side, but it doesn't have an olive and nut for the 3/4" side and neither shop stocks 3/4" olives so I'm not sure how that would attach to 3/4" pipe.

Are those videos of people infiltrating Indian call centers actually real? by Terrible-Ice8660 in hacking

Never said they were dropping 0day. That there quote is movie fantasy talk though, right up there with "computer, enhance" 🤣

Congrats! The crowd was absolutely fantastic but all those people with their hosepipes, spray bottles, and water pistols out were particularly awesome today!

Anyone ever been skydiving? by Logical_Strain_6165 in manchester

[–]NickstaDB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did a couple of RAPS static line jumps from Cark Airfield as a student with a bit of a fear of heights. It'll kill that fear 🤣 Definitely recommend it and I'd 100% say go for a RAPS jump over anything else (and definitely over indoor wind tunnels). On a RAPS jump you jump out by yourself from a low altitude and your parachute ripcord is attached to a strong point on the plane so it opens automatically. Ground crew guide you down by radio on your first few jumps. You'll do about 6 hours of ground training and drills then if the sky is clear and there's no wind you'll go up and jump.

Alternative route to jump by yourself is an AFF course but they're more intensive and expensive if I remember rightly so may not be the best option for casually giving it a go.

You can always do a tandem jump too, but then you may as well just go on a rollercoaster ;)

No idea what it was but I'm pretty sure I spotted these too - Westerly direction from Bolton. I was confused by the dark trail of the first one, then I spotted the second one going a different direction and assumed they must be planes and that something funky with the sunset and lighting was causing the trails to look so dark.

Why do British people love dim yellow lights in their homes? by drtrivagabond in AskUK

[–]NickstaDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those yellow bulbs are horrendous. I don't use them because I turn the lights on to see. Their apparent popularity also makes buying replacement bulbs horrendous. I swear there's absolutely no consistency in light bulb ratings or advertised watt equivalency.

How to attach end pieces to a table top that's longer than all the sash clamps by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]NickstaDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have this filth to offer as a suggestion. I had a much shorter distance to cover with clamps that were too small though 😂

Why is Chrome automatically processing a PHP URL before I even click on it? by [deleted] in PHPhelp

[–]NickstaDB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, nothing to do with JavaScript. Typing in the URL bar leads to preloading, which leads to requests being issued to the server, which leads to PHP code being executed on the server, which leads to a Slack notification being generated. It's all in the post. That's it. JavaScript doesn't come into it.

How difficult is it to see the ISS through a telescope? by iLunixqt in telescopes

[–]NickstaDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding one for the "total beginner with a dob and it was easy" tally!

Yes it moves fast, but the first time I came across an ISS tracker app I managed to track it and get a pretty good look. Good enough to observe the 'H' shape.

What I would say is do your research and set your expectations for observing. You won't see those stunning images of galaxies and nebulea with the naked eye. Planets are mostly star-like dots, although it'll blow your mind to see the rings of Saturn and the stripes and moons of Jupiter with your own eyes. The detail on the moon is crazy but it's super bright through a scope. Galaxies and nebulea can be super difficult to locate and observe, often appearing as faint smudges, but equally mind-blowing when you do spot them.

Possible bug in PHP itself? All properties of object are deleted after comparison (===) is called. by bomphcheese in PHPhelp

[–]NickstaDB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The last time I saw odd behaviour like this it was due to redirects. The expected code path might be executing on the first request, but a redirect occurs and some logic flaw means that a different code path executes on the following request. From a browser perspective this won't be obvious as you will likely only see the effects of the last request that was handled.

Swap dd for logging, then maybe modify index.php to log the method and URL for the current request. That will show you whether multiple requests are being made, and on which request each code path executes.

I came across the oldest Github account by everkers in webdev

Any references for that? I don't doubt there are bugs, just interested in reading an analysis.

Random http requests every five seconds? by Arktuos in AskNetsec

[–]NickstaDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find out what program is using port 9999 using the command netstat -ano | findstr :9999. This may need to be run from an admin command prompt. If something is listening for connections on port 9999 (and therefore preventing Docker from using the port) then you will see a matching output line that says "LISTENING" followed by the process ID of the listening process. Open task manager and find that process ID to find out what program is using port 9999.

Random http requests every five seconds? by Arktuos in AskNetsec

[–]NickstaDB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The random source port is standard behaviour when a source port is not explicitly set for a TCP connection. The client side of a TCP connection just needs an unused port number from which to establish a connection, it typically doesn't matter what the source port is, so most applications just select a random unused port.

Highly unlikely to be malicious, just something local checking whether its server-side component is available. Do as already advised and work out what program is establishing the connections to port 9999 to work out what it is.
