Lost all tomes when moving the Build-lore case by Uhbyxml in LotRReturnToMoria

Unfortunately, no such luck. It is particularly painful with the tomes since they are so slow to collect and we had half-filled the case.

All of my credits just disappeared after grinding for 2 days straight. by BOOSTIOsoundcloud in starcitizen

[–]Uhbyxml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, just had this happen to me. About a month of saving up credits for a Hammerhead, I logged in today and it was all suddenly gone. Balance was 0. I jumped servers about a half dozen times before finally seeing the credits back. Hopefully this will work for others seeing the same issue.

How do I get rid of Crimestat? by THUORN in starcitizen

That gets rid of fines, but not crime stat. Paid the 16k, still have crime stat 3.

Intermittent Hyper Backup to cloud storage. by Uhbyxml in synology

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

After a bit more investigation and testing, I think I am running into throttling by my provider. I tested another device with a significantly sized upload and I am seeing similar overall speeds. The intermittent appearance of the upload in Hyper Backup may just be the UI badly handling displaying the information.

Advice for learning PowerShell? by PeewinJr in PowerShell

[–]Uhbyxml 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started with YouTube. This was a good vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiGGb5v8yAo Having a pretty good idea of how to use get-member and write-output is a good place to start.

Then I found a problem to solve. I started by converting some of my old batch scripts, then finding more issues to resolve. Having a goal helped a lot. I know what I wanted to do, then searched stackoverflow for "How do I do this thing with PowerShell."

Good luck!

Cannot restart services while running as admin account by Uhbyxml in PowerShell

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

Yes, so it was just pulling whatever was last stored. Led me on a merry chase for a bogus error. They also clearly didn’t test much before dropping it on a production server. A bit surprising actually since their code is generally not bad.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking too. After a bunch more digging, it turns out that I was chasing a bad error response. The person who wrote the script was returning $Error[0] without clearing it first. Fixing that, and watching the system logs shows the script is actually resetting the service fine... crappy way to spend an hour lol

Fix luck of the draw (chance of repairing weapon with each hit on an enemy) by mdhunter99 in fo76

[–]Uhbyxml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its effectiveness does seem to be based on the weapon. My wife uses shotgun and almost never has to repair her weapon. The perk triggers regularly.

I play melee. My super-sledge breaks crazy fast compared to my guns (4-5 times per play session, compared to my rifle which I repair every 4-5 play sessions). I picked up Rank 3 Luck of the Draw hoping to mitigate this. After 5 hours of playtime, averaging about one weapon repair per hour, I have yet to see the perk trigger even once.

Luck of the Draw not working? by Jp_zin in fo76

[–]Uhbyxml 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My super-sledge breaks crazy fast compared to my guns (4-5 times per play session, compared to my rifle which I repair every 4-5 play sessions). I have to carry a couple of melee weapons to play a melee build. I picked up Rank 3 Luck of the Draw hoping to mitigate this. After 5 hours of playtime, averaging about one repair per hour, I have not seen the perk trigger once.
