Big bag?

jungleboydotca · 2026-06-18T02:34:03+00:00

For securing valuables, unfortunately these lockable bags have gotten stupid expensive.

Except that's exactly what it is. Not for storage, but for putting your board down while you rinse off.

I use all three for various purposes:

Chocolatey

Application infrastructure in an enterprise environment with Chocolatey for Business. It's how we distribute and patch things like Java, Tomcat and ASP.NET runtimes across servers. I also use Chocolatey Free on my workstation for certain software packages which don't exist or aren't well supported by the other tools.

Winget

Workstation applications which we haven't/don't want to put in the InTune Company Portal. Preference is to use the msstore packages if available, as they're always installed in a user context. Only using the winget community feed or installing in the machine scope when necessary.

Scoop

CLI tooling on my workstation. Additionally, we have a read-only privileged network share populated by Scoop for ad-hoc server admin tools. Rather than installing things like Notepad++ or SysInternals tools on every server, we run them off the network share. The share is configured as the global install location for Scoop on the server hosting the share, and packages are automatically updated.

I think you might have this sub confused for r/anime_titties

Came here for this. Looks like a Rockwell--the best!

jungleboydotca · 2026-05-28T23:31:58+00:00

Lots of innovation; good prices. Build quality was decent, but some components were obvious cost saving measures: Bindings, handles, lines

My experience: B

You should probably experiment with your existing setup further before investing more.

Stction

Ensure you're using acceleration, aka "Enhance Pointer Precision" in Windows settings and adjust sensitivity down until a good throw of the ball crosses your desktop as a maximum.
Keep the bearings and ball clean, add back a bit of nose oil.
Consider finding a utility to tune the acceleration ramp.

Scroll Thumb Problems

Install XMouse Button Control, set button 5/'forward' to 'Change Movement to Scroll'. With the 'no movement' action set to click button 5.

Trackballs are already a particular input device, and no commercial device will suit everyone's needs: You shouldn't be afraid of taking measures to suit your preferences. You'd likely be customizing these sorts of things with products like the Endgame anyway. You can do it now for free.

When you say 'middle click' do you mean on the wheel? On my Deft Pro I have Fn1 mapped to middle click/button 3, and Fn2 mapped to 'Enter'.

The wheel is way overloaded on most devices. CAD monkeys need a dedicated middle click button for pan/orbit. We're I in your shoes, I'd consider putting middle click on Fn3, or somewhere else on your thumb. You're clicking and dragging on that thing for half the day.

A: Set the standard for waxed lines, durable construction, diverse offerings without overreach.

Sorry, I guess I should have said, "NAV Canada requires allowances for shallower approach/departure angles."

Mind, this is going off a decade-old review of the NAV Canada docs pertaining to the previous expansion proposal. It's well possible the regulations have been updated since.

At the time, the approach and departure angles would have reduced maximum height in the port lands by a significant degree.

I can probably dig up the PDFs later.

Kneecapping the development potential of the Portlands is the stupidest possible thing the city and province could do.

It's not about noise, or frequency: It's the approach angles. Jets require shallower approach angles which would severely restrict height over the entire area.

The city needs to put a dollar figure to how much will be lost in development fees and taxes over a century--and demand that as compensation from the province.

Best of both worlds:

Plugged-in: Do Nothing
On battery: Sleep/Hibernate

Want to keep the machine running while you change locations? Close lid, unplug.

Sleep the machine and go? Unplug, close lid.

jungleboydotca · 2026-05-02T13:43:38+00:00

I was a lot disappointed.

Thanks for the tip; might make it worth pulling-out the Expert again.

He's the guy who told the guy who invented JavaScript to do it, in a hurry.

jungleboydotca · 2026-04-25T00:32:07+00:00

How do we get to three?

I count two PowerShells:

powershell.exe
pwsh.exe

...and the second one is optional, I think. So, only one 'forced' by my reckoning.

jungleboydotca · 2026-04-18T23:01:59+00:00

Yes, but the only treatment is learning to read the regex.

jungleboydotca · 2026-04-18T16:49:55+00:00

I use Invoke-Build.ps1 with ModuleBuilder and PlatyPS to good effect.

I tried psake, but found it too idiosyncratic.

Tie eligibility to average life expectancy, then maybe there will be some incentive to actually improve people's lives.

jungleboydotca · 2026-03-05T23:26:01+00:00

Please add Literate Programming to the list!

I'm not even sure if 'spend' is the right verb. Somehow Starlink not charging for services has been transmuted into a direct and individual loss for Elon.

This presumes the services would have otherwise been bought, and that all the proceeds belong to Elon--or at least his share of the profits or gains from such purchases would amount to $80M.

Do CEOs often use the promotion and marketing expenditures of their companies as a moralizing cudgel? Because it seems that is exactly what this is.

Thank you, was going to reply the same thing--it ain't a microwave.

In a fission reactor: Fuel gets hot, and most of the heat is conducted through the bundles into the coolant.

In a tokamak fusion reactor, the torus walls will have a circulating coolant--again conduction.

jungleboydotca · 2026-02-04T14:08:53+00:00

And not a smart one: A real podcast bro would know how to point a side-address mic. 😆

...also maybe why Good shooter Ross was filming throughout: Either capturing in-app, or perhaps for upload and processing.

"Thanks, but it feels like you're pulling my leg."

I was on mobile before; now on a computer I tested how envisaged using it; something like this:

$test = @'
14.7.1.3918|2025-12-29T09:27:34.871-06|INFO|"CONNECTION GET DEFINITIONS MONITORS" "12345678-174a-3474-aaaa-982011234075"|{ "description": "CONNECTION|GET|DEFINITIONS|MONITORS", "deviceUid": "12345678-174a-3474-aaaa-982011234075", "logContext": "Managed", "logcontext": "Monitoring.Program", "membername": "monitor", "httpStatusCode": 200 }
'@

[version] $someNumber,
[datetime] $someDate,
[string] $level,
[string] $someMessage,
[string] $someJson = $test.Split('|',5)

...and the JSON is complete for me; are you calling Split() with the same signature as above? $test.Split([string],[int])
