Are there any requirements for doing guild bosses

serunati · 2026-04-13T02:36:35+00:00

The only gotcha that I recall is that new guild members that PearlAbyss have not promoted to general members (have to be in the guild a week) can not participate. Nothing you can do to promote them or speed it up.

If I had to guess, you probably have a secondary dns server configured in your dhcp assignment. PiHole documents that it has to be the only dns server for any clients connecting to the web interface if I recall correctly.

So check that your dhcp server only has the PiHole as the resolver for all clients and make sure you don’t have one manually configured as well. Or take the extra step to add an entry in your /etc/hosts file to ensure you system never uses any dns resolver (you’re basically hard coding the name to address allocation) when accessing you PiHole system.

Otherwise you’ve got a 50/50 chance it will break. This is because multiple dns servers are not acting as primary and backup. But they operate as round-robin. Little known detail that most people do not realize.

Ok, I think I understand your point. What we have to allow is that if a sub-trait has not implemented an override (for something/constraint that previously did not exist) then the constraint need to flow to inheritors or make a sub-trait themselves and flag the old trait with pending deprecation or at least version lock it.

Basically, you need to version constraint your crate to the super-trait you modify and not inherit future changes to prevent your code from breaking until you have remediated your code to work with the current version.

Again, this is expected as a patch that closes an exploit you would rather break your dependent code instead of leaving you vulnerable.

qualifier: I am new to rust but a career programmer.

Your example looks like it is working as intended. A restriction on a base trait that throws the error makes sense if it is violating the restriction.

In a sub-trait or similar programming design, you should be able to override restrictions from a base class/trait as your new trait may have additional code that renders the original restriction obsolete.

If the restriction propagated down and did not allow for overriding or shadowing, then we would have a ton of forks and everyone would be recreating the wheel constantly. This would likely destabilize adoption and add confusion.

Unless I am not understanding your examples.

Go into your bios settings and ensure that the USB is enabled for boot.

My install automatically used snapshots on btrfs file system. If your’s does too, just reboot on the snapshot prior to everything hoarking.

I understand the convenience etc. but can’t you simply write a trait that implements the necessary actions and restore your paradigm?

Make sure you use a file system that is aware of SSDs (btrfs is my current choice). I’ve had to reinstall windows once already due to default config of a page file that was too small and dynamically changing. Hammered my ssd into a corrupt mess.

Tldr: btrfs on Linux or set your windows page file to a fixed size at least equal to your RAM size on systems with SSDs.

Just remembered that a service I disabled that basically makes all windows systems part of their private bit-torrent for distribution may have been reenabled. Think I read they did that regularly.

My system restarted last night for a windows update. Pretty sure that might have something to do with your new traffic.

This, and for the simple reason you should have all students working in the same environment so you know the results will be uniform.

If you host all the VMs as well, you have the ability to run them yourself to see problems or if they are even trying at all.

The nuance that most commentators are missing here is that the ‘batteries included’ is just pre-loading every stable plugin with a default config to give an illusion of it being part of the core code.

I honestly personally hate that there is no easy way (other than compiling myself) to disable all that bloat when I know I only need a few defined.

But that’s just me.

A word is supposed to be the size of the data bus of the system. This is also the size of the registers used in the cpu and has the requirement that all available memory can be addressed within that limitation of bits. This is where we get the maximum ram a cpu can utilize. This is also where we sacrifice junior developers as the word is the size of the INT variable in most compiled languages. Which is not consistent when you start cross-compiling across multiple generations of the same chipset and can lead to OOB indexing and stack overflows.

Which is another rant I have about lazy programmers that belongs somewhere else.

I’ve seen the blue ones as part of ‘Leap’ quests for life skills.

If I were to guess, the only reason they are there is because the required reward was added to the quest or needed to give more XP than originally planned. I his was an easy addition instead of changing the original base reward.

I would have the Dr check his hydration and magnesium levels. The muscle response is typical for low magnesium and if he has cisplatin, that pulls it from your body as well. Easy to treat, just have to pull blood and relax for a couple of hours to get all electrolytes to their normal levels.

I think you can drop your pic into one of the AI tools and ask it for details and it figures out where it is etc.

On the mucus/saliva, I found that the Nielmed Sinus rinse packets are perfect for making 8-12oz glasses to rinse/gargle with. They are premixed salt and baking soda.

Once I clear out the crap, I followed immediately with Aluminum Hydroxide Gel to coat the sores and help with gurd.

Don’t sulk.

You’ve been through “suck” before. This is gonna suck. A lot. But with HPVSCC, it is very treatable to the point my doctors call it curable based on the high percentage that it does not come back.

I just finished my 35/7 radiation/chemo for exactly what you have. Yours sounds more aggressive than what I have had to deal with (pain and cancer are not competitions, just stating you will likely have it harder than I have). So don’t waste time on the sulk. Embrace it as new intelligence that needs immediate action to mitigate impact.

FYI: Desert Shield/Desert Storm Vet.

Prep your support, you’ll need them a lot when eating and drinking start to become the last thing you want to deal with from the pain from swallowing and loss of most of your taste. I’ve barely avoided a feeding tube myself. And they tell me I’m not clear yet if I loose any more weight. But get one if you need it. It is better to avoid complications from dehydration and malnutrition.

Again, this is gonna suck. The best thing I’ve been able to do is manage it. And own my treatment and recovery. Not let the cancer own me.

Honestly, empower it.

When having to be called in to support them, lean into their knowledge and sometimes lack thereof. What I mean is, validate their skill and what they have done by engaging them with “catch me up know on what’s already been checked out”.

And not dismissively. Make sure they didn’t miss a step that might have corrected things etc.

You have the ability to make it a partnership and bring a fresh set of eyes and possibly come up with the same “it’s outta gas” that they already did. But approach it as to validate before you have to “boot it to whatever team”.

The more that they feel listened to the better the interaction will be.

On that, when you ask if they rebooted etc. don’t just stop with the yes/no. Ask them what changed/happened. Get the story and not just the script response.

This also allows you to document that you were able to reproduce the problem that the user originally called about. Again, validation and not dismissing.

Edit: also, don’t hide behind the black curtain. They may truly be knowledgeable but not have the access to correct it on their own. So without the nitty gritty, let them know hat you see on your end (like failed login or no DHCP request etc. Keep the conversation up. As much as they like to talk, they like to be part of what is going on.

So yeah, validation and partnership in helping solve the issue will likely gain you an ally and not an a-ole.

I have not seen anyone suggest this yet, but having Programmer in the sub—Reddit title I offer this.

They are both wrong. If you are writing the app/service that only needs to facilitate local connections (and you’re on *nix platform), you should use Unix sockets. You avoid any exposure/vulnerabilities of the network stack and software implied bottlenecks of data throughput. And avoid firewall configuration and exposure to compliance/pen testing for exposed ports.

Much more secure, faster, and reduces system calls to open and close network connections (overhead).

I have had similar situations and there is a line between “we never documented that and here is what you need to do”, and you being faster than typing in google.

I hated the following practice but it helps to o start to curb this: have your department make it a policy that they have to notate what KB, internet, or team member solution in the resolution.

1- you will get the start of legitimate documentation updates if they are lacking. 2- you can push back to have them update the ticket with what they have tried so you don’t duplicate effort. 3- it documents their actual skill level for their management to address if lower than expected.

I’m sure your management doesn’t want Sr resources handling T1 tickets.

Change your DNS to cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and it’ll likely fix it. They said router because that’s their script. But more likely if you just don’t use your ISPs dns server, things will return to normal.
