The issue I've most seen is that it never gets rewritten because the business side sees it as sufficient and just uses it. The techy/IT/programming folks never even hear about it until it breaks. Most of these things are shee

That's a great way to go, but unfortunately the reality is often the folks go off and write stuff in the non-supported way. The business gets dependent on it, and then years later -- because IT is there to support the company overall -

Often those SMEs are data folks, and if they are allowed to develop in $TOOL_DU_JOUR, and that app becomes business critical, the IT folks will be stuck supporting it. And if that thing doesn't become well supported, or it isn't e

Look at using pf on OpenBSD. Specifically, look at the probability and set delay options: https://man.openbsd.org/pf.conf Couple this with inserting pf as a transparent firewall and you can make a good hop become all sorts

Using the registry is a pretty simple API call to say place X here, read X if it exists, etc. If you need to start manipulating configuration files, then you need to deal with all the complexities of that. The registry is great for exactly

Likely because the app can't deal with the size of the data it's getting back when it tries to get its entries.

Thanks, that's good to know. This is a basic, older Generac GP5500 and I couldn't figure out how to get the carb apart, it really seemed pressed together. Maybe that generator already had it's replaced, as the replacement I g

Sounds like you just need a better mechanical connection. There are silicone-filled waterproof wire nuts available. Maybe if you clean the wires and secure them with those all will be good?

I acquired a generator from a family member, and unknown to me when I needed it to power the house the thing wouldn't run unless the choke was held closed with a wire tie. You can imagine how well that ran... So, that sounds like a car

I don't know this area, so I don't know how good it is there, but these are pretty nice if you're cycling. I imagine if one's in a (motorized) wheelchair it's a fair option as well. But it sure seems like there shou

I've had the same experience. I once noticed that a section of local highway had been restriped so instead of it being just white dashes it had white dashes followed immediately by a brief black dash. This is a fairly light colored con

Thanks, this is a good idea. I'll give that a look.

Ours are doing that this year... White oak and burr oak. And this helped us learn our new dog likes the taste of acorns. <sigh> Which means acorn-y poop and us having to constantly try to stop him from eating everything on the ground.

This isn't a Windows problem. This is an app problem, and in this post's case, Quicken. Quicken is looking to where Windows keeps fonts and, on every startup, accessing all of them. Windows doesn't tell the app to do this, th

There are legal agreements backing the separation of company data from other parties. This is what's important to big corps.

Overall I agree, and usually the right answer will filter to the top, but not always. Here's some of the main groupthink pet peeve ones off the top of my head: - Gorilla Tape for tubeless. Reality is that it's porous and absorbent

I frequent that subreddit as well, but one needs to be very careful to navigate the cargo-cult very very wrong "solutions". Some of these sound right on their face, and thus get parroted, but don't really work out.

IMO the Wheelpro [1] book is far better for actually building a wheel. Brandt's book is great, but it's more an engineering textbook explaining why the (generally) strongest wheel is three-cross with butted (swaged) spokes and how

Last time I purchased a car, I told the salesperson that if there's any dealer logos or whatnot on it, I will not accept delivery. There was a license plate frame, it was very quickly removed.

I believe it was Message Analyzer, and what was super cool was its ability to correlate ETW stuff. So you could literally see the interplay between... say... a webserver log, an OS level NIC driver log, and a network capture. I still don&#x

It's the header parsing and post-capture filtering and analysis that is the heavy lifting, though. Just like lots of things, you can collect all the data you want... But getting an actionable result is the trick. Wireshark does that.

Something else, compared to road riding, is that most mountain biking is very safe. Typically you are riding fairly slow on dirt surfaces that you can stop on. Basic falls (falling over) are common, but increasingly rare as you get more exp

I get that, but that's like 3-5 hour days most of the day of the week. I ride a lot myself, but those numbers would start interfering with normal life stuff for me.
