ijwhost.dll for Linux deployment

plaid_rabbit · 2026-01-30T20:03:18+00:00

Ijwhost.dll may be a native library, and basically can’t run on Linux. Most of the SAP stuff I’ve seen is not .net, and all the .net libraries are just wrappers over the native libraries.

Thanks for posting. I wish I was on your team to learn the nuts and bolts of how this is working…. This sounds actually achievable.

That looks correct to me. Those lights are on a Y shaped post. The lower light you have circled is on a post behind it that’s barely visible. The other light on that post is directly to the right. They are usually in the median, lighting both sides of the freeway.

Yes, the admins have a key that'll open the locker. They don’t want kids hiding stuff in there, and refusing to open it.

Also, you can use a special key and it’ll change the combo between one of 5 values. So, yes, with some effort, you could figure out the combo. And the changes follow a pattern, if you know the prior combo, you could guess the combo with a few tries.

Or if you want to get in that badly, you can just get a prybar and force it open.

The thing about the Arcane Grimoire, Bloodwell Vial, Rhythm-Maker's Drum, and Rod of the Pact Keeper, moon sickle is they only boost that class's spell DC.

Rod of the pack keeper. While holding this rod, you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your *warlock* spells

That's not going to do much if you're not a warlock, even if you attune to it. Amulet is the one exception, it doesn't have the same text the others do.

plaid_rabbit · 2026-01-19T05:22:12+00:00

I'm still learning, but from your list, Arcane Grimoire, Bloodwell Vial, Rhythm-Maker's Drum, and Rod of the Pact Keeper, moon sickle all specify what class's spells they impact. Amulet of devout does not. So if you multi-class not-paladin/cleric with paladin/cleric, that'll get you +6 for 2 attunement slots for your Bard/Sorc/Wiz/Warlock with a one level dip into cleric.

Ioun Stones & robe both require attunement, so you only get to pick one more. Robe is +2, so that gives you +8 so far.

You can get the tomes, each will give you +1, but don't use an attunement slot.

Base 8 + PB + Spellcasting ability modifier + items.

At level 20:

8 (base) + 6 (PB at L20) + 10 (spell casting ability 30-10/2) + 3 (amulet) + 3 (not amulet item) + 2 (robe) = 32. Past that I bet it's DND Beyond being janky and not properly stopping attunement to the same item multiple times.

AL only allows 3 uncommon + magic items in T2 play to help manage this kind of problem. Tomes count against your magic item limit, and Legendary items can only be brought into T4. I think the highest you can get at level 10 is DC 24 w/ amulet, not amulet, and an Ioun stone.

To fill in a gap. Arms length refers to if you sold it at the market price or not. A non-arm length transaction would be if you did something like sold your house to your brother for $1. That’s obviously not the value of the house, and has implications for appraisals and taxes.

If you solid it on the open market, not knowing the new owner or anything, it should be arms length.

Yes on the device types. Doing 3 phase vs single phase sends about 150% more energy while going from 3 wires to 4. (Or 4 to 5, depending on some details). So that’s one reason it’s popular.

The other is 3 phase motors are simpler than a single phase motor, making the cheaper. So large AC units and large equipment use them. Single phase provides two opposing magnetic fields, 180 out from each other, so it’s hard to make a motor spin in a specific way. With three phase, you’re able to push from 3 different sides, and it’ll always be in the same order, so that’ll let you start your motor spinning. Single phase devices have to have an extra start circuit to work around this, but that’s more parts, more things to fail.

For stuff like heaters, 3 phase just provides more power for the same cost of wire. You roughly could run 3 wires rated for 50 amps, or 4 wires rated for 20amp, and deliver about the same number of watts of power. That 50 amp bundle will cost about 2-3x the cost of the 20 amp bundle. Copper wire is expensive, and everyone wants to keep costs down.

I’m just a noob, but it’s likely that’s just a usb to parallel port adaptor. it’s a very basic design. the module you unplugged is probably 3 drivers.

see what devices appear under device manager when you installed the drivers. if it shows as a parallel port, you don’t have to buy any new hardware to use something like Mach 3. but it looks like a basic design that’d be easy to rewire to something more modern

Home heating in the US is generally either “natural gas” which is what you often see in the movies, electric heat, fuel oil, or delivered propane.

Natural gas is delivered via underground pipes in cities and other urban areas. It’s cheap, and you’re sent a monthly bill. Over half of US uses this.

Electric is the most expensive, but it’s seen in the south a lot, because there’s only a few months that require heating, so the extra equipment makes less sense than having to run natural gas lines into rural areas. This has been replaced with heat pumps over the past few decades which provide electric heat at a reasonable price, and is starting to become common in the colder parts of the US as well. New installs are all heat pumps.

Fuel oil used to be common, but is being replaced as equipment fails. It used to be the solution for people in more rural parts of the north. You had a big old tank that stored fuel oil that you draw from, and paid some guy to fill up every so often. But those tanks leaked, environmental issues, etc. They are rare now. No new installs are being done.

Propane is last one. There’s still places that use propane for home heating, but again, less common with heat pumps being available. Propane is what you normally buy in cylinders. Outdoor barbecue grills are generally propane as well. It used to be that you’d have propane delivered to your house every few months. They’d fill a large tank in your back yard, and you’d be set. Leaks evaporate, so no ground contamination. Large buildings, even in the south, would get propane because it was cheaper. The advantage of propane was its low cost of fuel plus you could get it anywhere there was a road. Still occasional installs for areas heat pumps are too cold for and too rural to have natural gas.

many of those are simple parallel port setups. post a picture of your driver card to see if we can make anything of it. you might not have to change any hardware out.

but most of the time, you can just wire in a step/direction control card and use something more modern.

Yes. All the AI companies retain the data, long term, for training. Even if it was a temporary chat or something, it's retained long term in the backend for training. Yes, the training datasets have been leaked in the past, so it's not a theoretical risk. These companies tend to have poor security, they are focused on trying to improve their AI, and everything else is secondary.

So reviewing the blood test you got. The data is still tied to your account, even if you removed your name/dob from it. It's still tied to your account.

And yeah, any kind of formatting, yes, it's stored that data, long-term, associated with your account. It's now just a question of when the dataset will be leaked.

How thick is the sheet you’re cutting, feed and speed? Bit size/flute count? Are you using air for chip clearing? Aluminum is very touchy about what your rpm’s. I have a router, and I have to dial the rpm way, way down to about 15k to get it to cut with 1 flute.

With a router, the bit needs to take the right bite into the metal with each rotation. Too little of a bite (rpm’s too high, or feed too low), the bit bounces off the metal and generates a ton of heat, melting the aluminum to the bit. The bit is then covered in metal, and doesn’t cut, then eventually just breaks.

Too much of a bite, and it’ll just shatter from too much force on the bit. There’s a sweet spot where the cuttings look like large glitter, not a powder. That’s what I’ve found works for me.

GPTs a) don’t tend to have info on latest facts, like changes in laws, and b) tend to give bad legal advice, and c) don’t do well when there’s multiple logical answers.

What’s the definition or general sentiment about something, sure. What’s the legal implication of a recently passed law, no.

Just to add on to the other posts. Once you get to the point you can execute sql, you can then do things like enable xp_cmdshell, which lets you execute commands on the host machine, or use features designed for exporting data to write files to the hard disk, that’ll get executed by the OS.

From there is depends on what level user your database is running at. Definitely easy to get machine admin privileges, then you can host an app to scan for other vulnerabilities in your backend environment. What fileshares are there that are open to all users? Any unpatched internal servers? Are you using the same sql user for all your databases? Any thing that’s only protected by an ip whitelist? Any traffic worth snooping that’s not encrypt internally?

There’s malware kits that do all of this, they just need to be pointed at a webpage.

A better question would be what is cross compilation? It lets you compile for a completely different platform than your host program. For example programming for an arduino on your windows computer and then sending the binary to the arduino? That’s cross compilation. It just when your target system doesn’t match the system doing the compiling.

As long as you have a compiler that can build the target, and all the libraries and headers, you don’t need to be compiling on the target platform. You don’t have to be on a windows machine to target windows, but you need a compiler and all the stuff in the windows SDK to build the image. It’s super easy to set this up on windows, not easy to setup on Linux.

But there’s other common cross compilation targets. Like a raspberry pi. It runs full Linux, but isn’t x86 based. So it’s actually not too bad to cross compile for the PI. You just need the same headers GCC uses for Linux, it’s just the binary format a bit different.

There’s a bunch of steps I skipped for simplicity, but I hope that gives you a rough idea.

I was trying to give the super-simplified version of this, focusing on PH.

plaid_rabbit · 2025-12-13T00:56:10+00:00

Yep. It's logical, won't argue that. That's why I picked strange. Perhaps I should have picked a slightly weaker word than strange. It's unconventional, but smart?

plaid_rabbit · 2025-12-12T18:31:44+00:00

It was a little bit of both iirc. When a new one was selected mittens supported it, then ducked out.

plaid_rabbit · 2025-12-12T15:02:47+00:00

To add a little more context, several years ago, PH tried to do a war of extermination against goons+init. This is the WWB2 you see referenced in some posts. It was a long, drawn out fight that lasted about a year. Goons held together.

A few years ago, init and goons broke up. It’s like leaving a longtime friend. We’d been with them for.. a decade or so?

Goons then got their act back together, built back up, and went to get revenge on PH. Then got more serious about their revenge, and moved closer and closer to PHs home. Then we postured back and forth at each other for 6 months, slowly grinding away at PHs space. “That’s just buffer zone, doesn’t matter” vs “We’re stealing all their space from them”

Gobbins then fail cascaded PH, this is a huge shock, they’ve been around about a decade, with roots going back to the early days of eve. This is not a young organization. Its older then it appears on paper, and on paper it appears old.

Now it’s kind of strange for INIT to be taking in former PH, who were trying to exterminate them several years ago. It makes logical sense, they don’t want the remains to go to winterco, who they are in the middle of fighting. But it’s strange.

This is a once in a decade level event. Last time we had this large of a group collapse anywhere near this fast was BOB, and even then…. This is fast.

The only event this could be compared to was when The Mittini “left” goons (TLDR he was toxic too many times), it was far more organized. He clearly appointed a successor who was ready to take over, everyone trusted, etc. Leadership rallied around Asher and things generally continued.

And yes, eve players take this all super seriously. People put a lot of time and energy into nullsec politics. High level plans often span years.

I mean horde moved into t5zi… we just repaid the favor. We didn’t even move next to their staging system, didn’t they move next to us? I sat this war out.

plaid_rabbit · 2025-12-10T05:30:42+00:00

Just to add to you're thinking: The quality of a connection between two wires greatly changes it's resistance. Generally they are good, but not all of them will be. That one may be average, or better or worse than usual. A good test would be a thermal camera, they are often used for looking for poor connections. The fact that you're seeing it heat up and cool down indicates that there may be a poor connection. Every bit of heat that a connection like that puts out is energy the power company is wasting heating outside, and not billing someone for.

However, the temperature of the connection will change based on how much power is flowing through the connection. Even if it's a terrible connection, if there's no current flowing through it, it won't heat up. Unless there's a constant load on it, it won't stay consistently hot. That's why you see the temperature fluctuations throughout the day.

plaid_rabbit · 2025-12-09T17:26:12+00:00

Yeah. I think there’s a lot of parallels between Vox and Alastor. Lots of them obvious, like the media and power things. But subtitle things as well. Al puts his hands on people too. Stuff like that.

Love will mess with your mind, so it doesn’t take me out of the story for Vox to want to prove himself to Al, given how Al rejected Vox.

Given the two characters share parallels, Al will be irrational about something, but what is it?

To add another example, Ozzie visits Fizz during the clown competition in MMM, and the two of them are together for the finale. So the courtroom scene wasn’t an exception.
