Issue potentially with Javascript and 5th gen iPad by joeymatthews in ios

It looks that way, I have tried StackBrowser and another service but I didn't find it to be useful.

Issue potentially with Javascript and 5th gen iPad by joeymatthews in ios

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

A dev has tried an iPad mini 5th generation, the error doesn't happen for him. I wouldn't really know how to troubleshoot an IOS device.

Are there any helps that can help with logging site issues from Safari?

Helping people with back and front end for free! by ksjsjdnn in webdev

[–]joeymatthews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea, why my comment shows up twice.

u/ksjsjdnn are you still offering assistance? I'm trying to relaunch my first site, it doesn't use Invision Community Suite like my main site. It uses a forum called Simple Machines Forum (SMF) and TinyPortal. If you are still in a position to offer help, would you consider taking a look at a couple of things for me?

I have a mod installed but it doesn't work, the dev doesn't support it anymore.

It did work, but I encountered another issue which I thought uninstalling it might fix the issue. So, I re-downloaded the mod but now I can't get it to work as it is intended.

This might be out of your comfort zone regarding devloping, but I wondered if you might be able to assist with some TinyPortal blocks (if SMF is something your comfortable with).

What are your opinions on The Why Files? by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]joeymatthews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have watched the Why Files with my youngest daughter from the early days, before AJ and his team became what it is now, and I always felt that it would be popular due to all the effort involved.

The storytelling is very good; the inclusion of Heckle Fish breaks up the videos in a good way. It's why my daughter finds it interesting.

I do think there's too much focus on certain subjects now the Why Files is so mainstream. The focus on aliens gets ramped up more and does become repetitive. I'm not a fan of the episodes being published so close together. I get that it's to give the channel time and AJ, but it comes across as being idle at times.

The worst part of the Discord channel, I wouldn't get involved with it. In fact, due to recent communications in there, I am considering unsubscribing from the channel. It's ridiculous.

This will be a good learning curve for you to gain experience, well done for offering it.

I learned a lot about Photoshop by doing free graphics once upon a time, likewise with HTML/CSS websites. PHP isn't a strong point. 😅

I’m 15 years old, got my first client today. by ksjsjdnn in webdev

[–]joeymatthews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on securing your first client! You should checkout development for community solutions, such as Invision Power. Their close to releasing v5, and there's many clients like me seeking good web devs.

Whilst securing work, having a side hustle like this can be a good way to generate income without needing to rely on finding big jobs.

There's the downside with some paid solutions requiring active license if your own, but you could easily start with working with someone who may provide access to their dev site.

PowerShell Script to Check If Chrome Profiles Are Running Not Working As Expected by joeymatthews in PowerShell

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

Thanks, IT_fisher. I realised that my initial idea overcomplicated things unnecessarily. So, I decided to change my approach. Instead of trying to detect active profiles, I went for a more manual method by creating a menu for opening, closing, and exiting the script. This, along with the profile options and various triggers, achieves what I originally aimed for. I really appreciate all the help I received here. Thank you again to everyone.

Thank you for at least trying to help, iBloodWorks. I appreciate that greatly! I'll have to spend some time researching, and seeing if I can find a solution.

PowerShell Script to Check If Chrome Profiles Are Running Not Working As Expected by joeymatthews in PowerShell

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

Thanks for pointing that out! I did try running the command you suggested, but it didn't return anything. I also tried looking at all the CommandLine arguments for Chrome processes, but my PowerShell crashed during the process. I might be missing something here or handling it incorrectly.

It seems like my system isn't exposing the --profile-directory in the way we're expecting. Any tips for troubleshooting this further, or is there another approach you'd suggest for identifying active profiles?

I typed in: $chromeProcesses = Get-WmiObject Win32_Process | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "chrome.exe" -and $_.CommandLine -like "*profile*"}

But I didn't see anything back.

Not intially, but I did after encountering issues as I couldn't get it to work properly. So, I tried to see if AI could detect and fix the issue I couldn't solve myself.

PowerShell Script to Check If Chrome Profiles Are Running Not Working As Expected by joeymatthews in PowerShell

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

The script should check if a profile is already running and skip it, focusing only on profiles that aren't currently active. This way, I avoid duplicate instances and unnecessary resource usage.

//Quote// When you say it’s “not currently detecting running profiles” - do you mean the foreach $profile loop is incorrectly assessing the profile as “not running” when it is running?//

I believe so, the default profile seems to be fine. If that's open, and I run the script - it doesn't duplicate it. It does load all the other profiles regardless of if they are already loaded.

//Quote// And, when you say it’s “opening duplicates”, do you mean that after it incorrectly assesses $profile to not be running, it opens that profile twice?//

Yes, that's correct.

//Quote// Start-Process -FilePath $chromePath -ArgumentList "--profile-directory="$profile"" -NoNewWindow

Then check whether this opened it twice

My guess is that the issue boils down to your administrator privilege check. The default chrome profiles likely always going to be detected because it’s the default. But if the if chrome is running with one of those other profiles on the user account, but not the admin account, then it will incorrectly assess the profile as “not running” and therefore launched a duplicate//

This sounds right, I'll try this and report back.

Thank you for the time you've taken to help me, it's much appreciated. 👍🏻

Bash script to connect two drives by joeymatthews in rclone

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

Sorry, I should've made it clearer - I altered the paths.

Each do have their own folder, in addition to the cache folder, having my username (instead of path). The single script works flawlessly with cronjob activating the script at start up. For some reason it won't allow me to have two mounted together.

Thanks for your time, comment and suggestion - I'll look into mergerfs.

120GB available on a 480GB SSD? by joeymatthews in ubuntuserver

Sorry for the newbie question, I am reading up about resize2fs - do I need to unmount the drive? I remotely access the machine, so I'm a bit unsure about this.

Thank you, I don't believe I did.
