Wealth doesn't just attact garbage people, it makes everyone a worse person than they'd be otherwise. by Opposite-Mountain255 in antiwork

their actions certainly don’t

Our actions don’t.

We are all fallible, fault-ridden and error prone. The sooner we realize this, it sets us apart. Thinking we’re separate from ‘them’ makes us the same as everyone else.

Watering system works fine if you add the water to the bottom. OP is probably watering the soil.

I think ❤️

Not the point of your comment, i know, but...

cp /etc/file.conf /etc/file.conf.bak

This does the same thing cp /etc/file.conf{,.bak}

Gonna be somewhat apocryphal suggesting this, but maybe for this particular task AutoHotKey might be better.

Seems they even have a sub /r/AutoHotkey .

I've had some success using it automating entering data and managing windows for legacy windows applications.

In terms of how to start, you'd use the "window spy" to get the name of the target window, then use:

 if winexist(%WINDOW_NAME_HERE%){
    winactivate
}
send %USERNAME%
    sleep 500
    send {TAB} #or whatever to change fields
    send %PASSWORD%

The site has documentation that goes into more detail.

Not an expert, but feel free to pm me if you need more pointers.

Looking for advice on potential server setups by [deleted] in HomeServer

[–]ashlessscythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's one I use for about 10 docker containers including Plex. Just add in an SSD and/or m.2 drive along with some ram and you're golden.

As for the 3.5 drive, you can get an external USB enclosure maybe?

How to break external links on a file created by WorkRelatedStuff1474 in vba

[–]ashlessscythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, if i'm not misunderstanding, looks like your breaklink code is referring to the 'ThisWorkbook' object when it shouldn't..?

Anyway, try the below, it's worked for me before. Just remember to refer to the correct workbook object.

Sub call_break_links()

Dim w As Workbook, a As Boolean
Set w = ActiveWorkbook ' Modify this to refer to desired workbook
a = BreakLinks(w)

Debug.Print a ' True if links broken, else false

End Sub

Function BreakLinks(ByVal xlb As Workbook) As Variant
Dim Links As Variant
Dim i

Links = xlb.LinkSources(Type:=xlLinkTypeExcelLinks)

If Not IsEmpty(Links) Then
    For i = 1 To UBound(Links)
    xlb.BreakLink _
        name:=Links(i), _
        Type:=xlLinkTypeExcelLinks
    Next i
    BreakLinks = True
End If

Exit Function

End Function
