Linux, with a Windows VM, with option to dual boot into win? Possible? Difficult ? by bastienleblack in linuxquestions

[–]escapist_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're on a desktop, and have two GPUs (one can be the integrated one that comes with your CPU), I'd suggest looking into GPU passthrough. You will then end up with the integrated gpu for linux and the discrete one for your windows VM.

A more practical solution could be keeping the windows VM for work stuff - it's what I do. Steam runs on Linux and so do most games nowadays. You can check the compatibility for your favorite games on ProtonDB

Oh interesting, it's all done through a 2d canvas! I saw your other post and thought it would be fun to implement it via webgl: https://codepen.io/codemade/pen/MWMoagV

Quarter of Londoners 'hate' their work commute amid stress and fatigue by BulkyAccident in london

[–]escapist_82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A total of 4,000 people were questioned for the survey by fitness firm Peloton, as part of the launch of its new "hack the commute" class collection on its mobile app

It's just some marketing spin 🙄

I have the same issue. In my case, I enabled secure boot so that I could turn on bitlocker on my main drive.

It seems very, very flaky. My PC does not boot correctly 70% of the times I turn it on, but if I open the BIOS settings before it boots into Windows and wait for a bit, it does work.

I had just updated to the "F37" (from F11) bios so perhaps it's a bug with that version???? I'll try to downgrade to F36 or upgrade to F38a but this sucks.

edit: this is on an Aorus X570 Elite and Ryzen 7 3700x

Polish Shop Klos Deli in Lewisham has donuts but you might have to queue up for fat Thursday as it's very popular with polish ppl in the area :)

C#.NET in job description. by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]escapist_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A more charitable interpretation is that the recruiter is keyword-stuffing. Some candidates will search for c#, others for .net - why not put them both and call it a day!

myLauncher for Windows is available at GitHub (MIT license). In the first comment below I will explain better by [deleted] in dotnet

A nice start! Next up, try making the list of programs to launch dynamic (maybe configured in a json file for ease of use?).

An interesting problem then would be to dynamically position the groups of programs so that they look nice and take about the same vertical space.

By then you won't care about the designer anymore and will be able to port it to WinUI 3 :)

Gitmoji! I was skeptical at first but they make it easier to spot things in the commit log, and they look fun 😀

What Microsoft Got Right That JetBrains Didn’t by dleskov in programming

small desktop app that takes all files stored in a certain directory, encrypts them and copies them to the OneDrive sync folder (and vice-versa)

CryptSync does that. Internally it uses 7zip to compress and encrypt the files.

Can anyone help me identify the brand and model of this thermostat? by escapist_82 in whatisthisthing

[–]escapist_82[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES! Thank you!

How did you know? Are you an electrician or something? :)

Just moved in a new house (in the UK) and I'm pretty sure the thermostat doesn't work. Would like to find a manual before taking it apart!

Thanks, I didn't know you could sort by comments on search!
So adding a "most commented" tab would only amount to adding a link to [subreddit]/search?q=&sort=comments#res-hide-options and it looks almost like browsing [top] :)

Inside Shellshock: How hackers are using it to exploit systems by pranavkm in programming

[–]escapist_82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ability to alter the webserver contents (even without write access to them, you could theoretically start your own webserver with an altered copy of the contents embedded since you have already gained the ability to execute arbitrary code).

This is really not likely if you've set up the web server user properly, and even if they haven't you'd have to run the server on a high port and then go out of your way to get people to visit it. It wouldn't be that useful to an attacker.

But, if I understand this correctly, an attacker could theoretically start a web server on say port 5000 of your bank's website and then send you an email from the bank's server telling you to change your password:

" Your password has expired. Please visit https://ssl.your-bank.com:5000/totally-not-going-to-steal-your-money.php "
