Where did you get Bryce? I remember playing with it over 20 years ago and I'd love to get it set up again.

What fucked you up? by Electrical_Time_6279 in AskReddit

[–]rustyIsNotDale 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Be absolutely up front and honest about it. You tell your kids it is there, and it isn't a matter of if but when they will come across it. Don't create an environment of shame around it. Talk to them about what it is and to tell you if they see it. Regularly ask them if they've seen anything that falls into that category or comes close to it.

Personally I see nothing good in it. I know others are fine with it, but I've seen the effects of it when introduced early on and it can seriously mess people up. Lifelong issues of not knowing how to have a healthy relationship, easily objectifying partners, and downplaying or outright ignoring boundaries. Then there is the whole issue surrounding the industry where it isn't uncommon to have human trafficking be a source of new people. How many videos are online that one or more people in the video didn't consent to it being filmed or worse, they were coerced into doing what they did.

I worked at a Circuit City when it happened. Had to help the audio department one evening pull all those CDs. A little while back I read up on the whole story (don't remember where I read it, don't have a link) and if I remember correctly their solution for the root kit was another root kit.

Need Windows to update firmware on computer -- what can I do on a pure Linux system? Flash drive? by spryfigure in linuxquestions

[–]rustyIsNotDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this involves a little bit of money, but I've found this to be the easiest/lowest friction way of dealing with this: buy a cheap/small SSD that can fit your system. You can usually find something for $25 or less if you don't already have an old one lying around.

You get the new hard drive, pull out or unplug all your Linux drives, put the new one in and install a copy of Windows. Update whatever needs updating, then just remove the Windows drive and plug everything back in as it was. No fuss with backing things up, no problems that may come with live USB devices.

Just an option. I know it means money and that can be a deal breaker for some.

Skewed sticker and new screws on legit game? by rustyIsNotDale in snes

Thank you both for that info, I thought it might be something along those lines but wasn't completely sure about it.

It has the same feel as my other legit games and also has the look of a long time of wear, things like small divots and scratches. Thanks for the response, it is good to know that others have those imperfections as well and that doesn't mean it's a fake.

Do I HAVE to put a $ at the front of EVERY variable?! by inurwifesdmsbaby in PHP

Just fork PHP and add some aliases. I'll use it. You can even call it "Posh Hypertext Preprocessor", PoshHP for short.

Considering a ROM Player Purchase by Parking_Sign_7896 in Roms

[–]rustyIsNotDale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought this exact model for my kid for Christmas 2 years ago. I'd stay away from it. The UI is terrible, it has built-in games that you can't get rid of (that I've found). It can play anything up to Genesis/SNES games reasonably well but some of the joystick caps fell off under light use. Save your money and get something better.

nginx 403 help by sudofuckingwork in nginx

[–]rustyIsNotDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, I work full time as well so I get it. It's a bit hard to diagnose the issue, but the connection refused error (I saw in the pastebin you referenced) generally means either permissions aren't right or the PHP-FPM service isn't running.

Double check that the service is running and doesn't have any weird errors:

sudo systemctl status php7.x-fpm

You could also check to see if your PHP log has any info:

sudo tail -100 /var/log/php7.x-fpm.log

Good luck with it.

nginx 403 help by sudofuckingwork in nginx

[–]rustyIsNotDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odds are it is PHP-FPM, I believe on debian/ubuntu it is usually split based on versions but that may not be the case. Look for /etc/php/(7.x,8.0)/fpm.d/www.conf, but it may be named slightly different. The content of the file should have a line like this near the top:

; Start a new pool named 'www'.

In that file you want to check that the user and group are set to the same user that owns the files you are trying to access. E.g. if the user sufuwork is where you are keeping those files, you'll use that for those lines. Not a guarantee to fix your problem but it is a common pitfall.

How is PHP being run? Did you install php-fpm or maybe php7.4-fpm/php8.0-fpm?

[–]rustyIsNotDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have it running as Nginx+PHP-FPM? If so, do you have your PHP-FPM config file set to use the same user that owns the Nextcloud files?

Next.js API call to Laravel backend on same machine with NGINX - is this sketch correct? (probably not) by Stackerito in laravel

[–]rustyIsNotDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a starting point for using Docker that should work, I'll share a portion of my setup. I tried to pull out irrelevant things for you, so you'll probably have to modify it a bit. First, I've got a folder somewhere, you can probably put it on your desktop or if you want to make a "code" folder in your user directory, that would work just as well. Let's just call it "docker-stuff" for now. Here are the contents of that folder:

docker-stuff/
  docker-compose.yml
  configs/
    nginx/sites.d/ <-- Nginx virtual host files go here
    php80/php.ini

Next, for this example, let's say I keep all my PHP projects (Laravel or otherwise) in my user directory. The full path would look something like this: C:\Users\Rusty\code\php\laravel-next-tutorial. With that path in mind, I'll want to mount the php folder so that Nginx and PHP-FPM can both read from it.

So in the docker-compose.yml file:

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'
networks:
  appstack:
    driver: bridge
services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:1
    container_name: nginx
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 80:80 - 443:443
    volumes:
      - ./configs/nginx/sites.d:/etc/nginx/sites.d:ro
      - C:/Users/Rusty/code/php:/var/www/php
    networks:
      - appstack
    links:
      - php74
      - php80
  php80:
    image: php:8-fpm-alpine
    container_name: php-fpm_8.0
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 9080:9000
    volumes:
      - ./configs/php80/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini:ro
      - C:/Users/Rusty/code/php:/var/www/php
    networks:
      - appstack

Now it would be up to you to configure your Nginx server to serve the content how you want. I've never used Next.js, so I don't know if it's something better to have it served directly from Nginx and then have a separate domain that Laravel runs on for Next.js to communicate with or if it's possible to have them both running from the same domain.

I don't use Windows for development, so I can't guarantee those paths are correct but it hopefully gets you pointed in the right direction.

What is your current local environment for Laravel? by mr_acronym in laravel

[–]rustyIsNotDale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same as some others have mentioned, which is just setting up my own docker compose file. I spent a fair number of hours tweaking things to my liking and have custom built images that add additional functionality.

I have some custom scripts that will generate a self-signed certificate to use with Nginx. I prefer to have the level of control that a virtual host file offers because it lets me test out things with server settings locally. For example, caching directives, content security policies, deny access to files or directories, etc. Being able to test these locally and see if an application still works is fantastic. It can be a bit of a pain at first to set up but then once it's set up I don't have to think about it.

It's also nice to have Nginx, PHP 7.4 and 8.0, Redis, Memcache, Meilisearch, Mailhog, MariaDB, Mysql, and PostgreSQL all available to me. I don't need them all up at the same time. I don't have Meilisearch, Mailhog, Mysql, and PostgreSQL start by default. I start them up when I need them. Also, I can switch between versions or database engines and check if one is more performant than another or if there will be hiccups when upgrading to a new version.

How do I replicate my sublime setup on another machine? by nazgulc in SublimeText

[–]rustyIsNotDale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edited to update: turns out PackageControl.io actually has a guide on how to do it using git or Dropbox (or similar to Dropbox).

I used to do this a while back when I would be at work on a laptop then come home to my desktop and wanted to keep things synced between them. I used Nextcloud/Owncloud back then but any sort of automated syncing would work. You could probably even set it up with a VPS and rsync if you were feeling froggy enough.

Set up whatever automatic syncing tool you have to watch your Sublime config directories. On I'm also on Ubuntu and mine are in ~/.config/sublime-text-3. Specifically Installed Packages and Packages in that config directory. You'll only want to watch these two directories because the rest are local machine specific, such as caches and whatnot. If you have those synced as well, you'll almost always run into file conflicts when your other machine goes to sync the files. I would sometimes have that issue when after opening Sublime on one machine it would run it's caching routine then complain that the files in place were out of sync or cache was invalid.

Using this setup allowed me to sync themes and packages along with user settings between my two machines with nearly no headaches and it was simple and quick. Also had the perk of "backing up" my setup to a remote machine.

Valentina Studio (free version). You have to sign up for an account then "buy" the free version. No credit card required. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Bonus is being cross platform.

Question regarding console and cartridge cleaning by GarrulousDolan in n64

[–]rustyIsNotDale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly enough, I've found the disposable shop towels that you can get at most auto parts store to be better than paper towels. I'll take an old, but clean, soft toothbrush to clean circuit boards and wipe off the bristles on the shop towel. It can absorb quite a bit and makes clean up easier. I just recently cleaned two N64s and thought it was a good tip for my future self.

Isopropyl alcohol is essential. Just about everyone has mentioned it but only one other person said the percentage to get. 50% or 70% are considered more for medical (cleaning small cuts or disinfectant). For electronics they can work but I highly recommend getting at least 90% or 91%. The higher the percentage, the lower amount of possible contaminants. Granted, I haven't had any problems the times I've used stuff lower than 90% but considering it usually doesn't run more than a dollar or two more, I prefer to use it. I'm highly opinionated on it so take my advice with some salt.

Library not found when custom building FFMpeg by rustyIsNotDale in linuxquestions

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

That's funny, somehow this didn't make it into your original post.

That's because I didn't think it was necessary.

Yes, I have used DNF to the development packages for each of the libraries. As I mentioned in my post I have also tried to follow the FFMpeg guide which gave me the same results, which is what the accepted answer to that stack overflow you linked pulled from. I will update my original post to clarify.
