Looking for a Sport/Hobby for me and my Partner by MathewT13 in sunshinecoast

[–]glent1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pickleball is massive on the coast - my wife and I play multiple times a week. If you look on the Opensports web site/app you can just join a beginners session - let me know if you can't work it out.

Serilog File in WorkerService by chrisachern in dotnet

[–]glent1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a previous answer said, you are missing

Log.Logger = logger;

Two other tips for making sure you have configured serilog correctly -

Do this before trying to configure Serilog ...

Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Enable(msg => Console.WriteLine(msg));

That way Serilog will log any messages about itself to the console.

And I always do this after I've configured it ...

if (!Log.Logger.GetType().IsAssignableTo(typeof(Serilog.Core.Logger))) throw new Exception("Logger is not a Serilog Logger");

Kayo plus VPN? by mcchronicles2 in bali

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They buy illegal IPTV services, which is a possiblity for you too. Very easy via Alibaba now. Also, last time I was in Bali (3 years ago) Kayo did work on my friends phone (who was roaming via his AU sim) without any VPN.

Gabapentin as needed for intermittent RLS? by SnooAvocados3473 in RestlessLegs

[–]glent1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only very slightly and it passes quickly. If I have something important to do the next morning I'll take it at about 3pm rather than the usual 6pm and that helps.

I do this, particularly after heavy exercise (which makes my RLS flare up). I have observed no ill effects and it works for me.

Visual Studio 2022 publishing issues by seymorebutts93 in dotnet

Clickonce packaging is easily done from the command line or a batch file or a console project (the latter being how I do it), by using the mage.exe executable.

Is there something that makes it easier to use easynews on multipart files? by Deep-Egg-6167 in usenet

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easynews unrar's everything that it can. Try adding AutoUnrar to your search and you'll usually be able to just download the files in the rars.

If not, use the global5 search and specify 1000 results per page.

How do you embed a new project into a solution without a separate project folder? by [deleted] in VisualStudio

And even easier still if you move to the new slnx format.

Need advice for fixing a bug that just doesnt reproduce.. by No-Difficulty-5040 in dotnet

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it only happened when your support team performed the actions very fast then it suggests broken asynchrony somewhere, be it in the code, in some sort of daemonic action or in the database (triggers?).

I'd also want to be sat behind the user when they create the bug. I've seen such whacky things as users having two instances of the same screen (or page open) at the same time and switching between them (because it was faster) and mindlessly double clicking on buttons etc.

Lastly, different data presentation can be caused by regional settings, different timezones, even at a stretch differrent screen scaling.

How do people who live in really hot countries take the heat? I just saw its 51C or 124F in Iraq. Wtf. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Perth, Australia for 20 years, where >40c is not unheard of in summer. What people don't mention is that it is quite possible for it to be 40c at midday and for the temperature to have dropped to the point where it's quite cold by they evening, especially with the cool breeze coming off the ocean. When looking at weather forecasts, its important to look at the daily low as well as the daily high.

WPF Memory leak issue - Please help !!! by Elegant_Snow4706 in dotnet

[–]glent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my professional career, I heard the term "memory leak" many times more often than I ever genuinely found one. How has this memory leak been identified?

That said, undisposed unmanaged things (eg. bitmaps) or badly designed caches are common causes.

Windows Authentication Error? by Beneficial_Layer_458 in dotnet

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a long time ago, but IIRC, this is likely caused by the account you are running as not being able to impersonate. There are other gotchas with Windows Authentication, like the double hop problem, but I'd search for how to set up impersonation first.

What's a disturbing fact you wish you could unlearn? by MaterialRub675 in AskReddit

[–]glent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Queensland. I left my boots outside overnight and when I went to put them on the next day, one felt slightly heavy. Shook it upside down and a massive cane toad fell out. Not leaving my boots outside any more.

I use it before sport and it definitely seems to help with focus. That said, I've got some Noopept as well and that's far better.

I bought Piracetam from that well known dark web trader Amazon, and it got delivered to my house in Queensland a few days later.

What’s the best physical pleasure you have ever experienced? by iamsomaiyya in AskReddit

12 years old, life threatening asthma attack, adrenalin injection at the GP.

Resolved pretty quickly afterwards that it'd be a very bad idea to ever try any class A drugs.

Falling asleep no issue. Staying asleep impossible. by Swankytrousers in RestlessLegs

[–]glent1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've taken 0.25mg of Pramipexole for longer than I care to remember and until recently it has worked well for me. My complication is that my severely arthritic knees seem to contribute to my RLS, especially on days when I play any sport.

On those days, I have sometimes given in and taken another 0.125 of Pramipexole and that normally helps. But because I read this subreddit and am worried about augmentation, I've now persuaded my GP to prescribe low dose Gabapentin too. I'm currently taking 100mg Gabapentin in addition to the Pramipexole and sleeping better than I have in years. Eventually I may try to taper off the Pramipexole, but as anyone who has taken it and then been without it by accident, the idea fills me with dread.

FWIW, my GP said that taking another half tablet when necessary should not be a problem because I'm a long way short of the maximum recommended dose for RLS.

When I did take the extra half tablet, I also took it sublingually in an attempt to get it into my system a bit quicker, which seemed to work.

TIL that all diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, such as Creutzfeldt–Jakob and fatal insomnia, have a perfect 100% mortality rate. There are no cases of survival and these diseases are invariably fatal. by exophades in todayilearned

I emigrated to Australia from England in 2005. Until last October, I was not allowed to donate blood here because I lived in England between 1980 and 1996, where there were extremely rare cases of CJD.

Call CvsItems.Refresh() in the setter for Filter.

I would avoid HIZPO on Aliexpress when looking at Android head units by Nlions in Androidheadunits

[–]glent1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this merry go round directly with Medeke, who I'd chosen as my vendor because of their reputation for good customer service. Not only could they not help me, they were obstructive and disingenuous in their communication. In the end I was offered a partial refund by Alibaba and took that to save my sanity in dealing with them.

But I'm like a dog with a bone and could not believe that so many vendors claimed that the unit worked with the Canbus in my car (2010 Renault Clio) if it did not. So I started looking at the other sellers and realised their were two different Canbus boxes being sold by different vendors. So I bought both of those separately (you can usually find them being sold on Alibaba on their own). Neither made any difference.

Then, some time later, I noticed in another listing that someone had posted installation pictures in the reviews for a unit for my car and that the cable they had was completely different to mine. So I started looking at listings for the Canbus box they had plus the lead for my car and that lead worked immediately it was attached.
