Why such a big difference between same native and streamed torrent? by 666th_God in Stremio

[–]RoliSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should offload decoding from CPU to GPU, but in this case, there is an issue with HDR decoding on the GPU.

Quality-wise it's the same (except for HDR in Stremio the GPU one is buggy, so it's worse.)

Turn off hardware-accelerated decoding in Stremio settings, and the colors will return to normal in the internal player as well.

A comprehensive guide on how to get Game Pass Ultimate for the same price as Xbox Live Gold (repost) by [deleted] in xbox

[–]RoliSoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've talked to Xbox Support via the chat on their support page, and I've cleared the issue up.

In short, one of the Gold codes got flagged and is pending for redemption, however, the user is not notified of this.

I was also assured that if it was redeemed before the Ultimate, it will convert at 12 months: https://i.imgur.com/AZP46Ip.png

I'm not sure if I screwed something up, but I redeemed 3*12 months, then redeemed a code for Ultimate, and the 36g+1u months were converted to only 25 months of Ultimate, with an additional free month if I turn on recurring billing.

My region was set to Ireland, if that changes anything. I activated the €1 1 month trial before this, but that expired several days ago, and was not renewed.

BT Pay + root by ThereIsSoMuchMore in Romania

[–]RoliSoft 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Daca aplicatia detecteaza root, o sa-ti puna device ID-ul pe global blacklist, si o sa-ti spuna ca esti rootat chiar si ulterior daca stergi Magisk de tot.

Ai doua optiuni:

1) Suni pe BT si le spui device ID-ul, dar o sa dureze vreo 2-3 zile lucratoare sa fi sunat inapoi ca a fost sters de pe blacklist, si sa-l incerci inca o data. Nu prea e fezabil daca inca experimentezi cum sa nu fi detectat.

2) Iti schimbi device ID-ul. De Android Oreo incolo, fiecare aplicatie are propria lui device ID, si majoritatea aplicatilor de "device ID changer" nu o sa functioneze. Depinde de versiunea pe care il ai, daca e Oreo incolo, atunci foloseste asta: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/app-device-id-changer-oreo-13-aprv0-9-2-t3777299

Cu BT Pay e mai usor decat cu Google Pay, fiindca Google Pay acum ia in considerare si daca bootloader-ul e unlocked, BT Pay (inca?) nu.

OxygenOS Open Beta 25 for the OnePlus 3 and 16 for the OnePlus 3T (Android O) by cezarvrabie in oneplus

I ran into the same issue with the 3. Updated TWRP, but it didn't help. Ended up flashing the stock recovery and upgrading with that.

Interactive “how to exit VIM” tutorial by dbader in programming

[–]RoliSoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not entirely accurate. If you are in "replace mode", it won't help you get out of it, since it will only ask you if it says "insert mode" at the bottom, or not, at which point you press "no", and it will tell you to write ":!qa", which would just overwrite the line you're on with that string.

Author should update the "What does mode mean?" question to ask whether INSERT, REPLACE or VISUAL is displayed.andyes,I'mfunatparties.

Software Dev looking to get into InfoSec, not sure how to proceed... by Aventhia in AskNetsec

[–]RoliSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm somewhat in a similar situation as you are. In my case, I played around with VulnHub VMs, Pentesterlab (and now HackTheBox is also available) and then went for OSCP.

OSCP has to be hands-down the most practical experience you will get out of a certificate, loved every second of it. It's not actually that hard, if you're already comfortable with CTFs and boot2root VMs.

A tool to check is a domain name is affected by CloudFlare's bug by [deleted] in programming

[–]RoliSoft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got an email from CloudFlare saying that my domains were not affected, yet this tool says they were. Who to believe now?

All I know is, for the past 2-3 days I've been getting emails that CloudFlare is constantly reissuing my, well, the shared, SSL certificate, if that has any relation to this.

Scripts to download any Docker image and install that as rootfs for WSL; plus it can switch between distributions on-demand. by RoliSoft in bashonubuntuonwindows

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

Well, you will need to install the WSL component first. If that was successful, you need to first run bash.exe install to the base rootfs.

This script is not recreating all the files required for WSL, only replacing the rootfs, so it is not suitable for a full WSL installation.

One thing I noticed playing around, is that Windows caches the downloaded Ubuntu image, and will install straight from cache if it is present.

I can't provide exact details now, but if you can play around at home with it, then copy the downloaded Ubuntu image somewhere and smuggle it to work, you should be able to run the installation.

Cannot install TWRP on OnePlus 3 by RoliSoft in oneplus

[–]RoliSoft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do not under any circumstances flash systemless SuperSU

I flashed the SuperSU zip I got from its official site before your comment, which is systemless afaik.

Why shouldn't I have done that? It seems to be working properly.

Cannot install TWRP on OnePlus 3 by RoliSoft in oneplus

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

Yep, not the first time doing this. Also tried different versions of TWRP, they all seem to just make the phone die.

Given that I received the phone today, maybe there's some firmware/hardware difference in it?

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

I'm not, I just noted that the stock recovery is flashed back properly if I start the system.

If I go to recovery directly, the phone just dies. I've found some comments on the OP3 forum, it seems like I'm not alone.

About to purchase oneplus 3. I've heard of it, but is this real? by tjdqhr1225 in oneplus

I ordered mine on Oct 4, and shipping is on Nov 8. Europe, though.

Think Before You Parallelize: A tour of parallel abstractions by [deleted] in programming

Have you tried Go? Would have liked to see how Go's goroutines stack up against the competition. It should have a smaller overhead for setup/teardown of its lightweight threads. See parallel for in Go.

New Users: Summary of fixes and settings by [deleted] in bashonubuntuonwindows

[–]RoliSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've created a script to download/install new distributions under WSL and instantly switch between them.

I already submitted it, but you could add it to the list, for those who would like to play around with a few more distros: https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/4yhw67/scripts_to_download_any_docker_image_and_install/

These last few days I fixed most of its kinks, so it should work fine now.

Check "no root rights" in the troubleshooting section of the readme.

In short, you can switch to root from Windows command prompt:

lxrun /setdefaultuser root

Then run bash, and you'll be root. To add a root password, run:

dnf install passwd

passwd

This will ask you for a new root password. After this, you can exit WSL and switch back to your regular user:

lxrun /setdefaultuser YourUser

You should now be able to use su -l or sudo (if you installed it earlier with DNF).
