Of course, I'm still a Windows guy. Although with these "Get Windows 10" campaigns MS is trying really hard to make me a Linux person; I've already got more Linuxes (4) than Windows (2)

ThuGie, you still need to get a power cord there, so do get a regular HDMI cable there as well, doesn't really matter whether you're installing 1 cable or 3, the work and collateral damage is the same.


RE: What we're doing - ThuGie - 01-04-2016

If i recall for some reason there office already has power on the ceiling no clue why.
And i probably do put up a hdmi cable up there just in case.
But just wanna see if it functions nice and clean, as they do plan to switch from 1 system to another.

But there is no rush, they say its a luxury option for them to have it.

You know if you enable bitlocker, your key is uploaded to Microsoft cloud.

You know if you press a key on your keyboard, the keystroke is uploaded to microsoft.
But yeah i read this as well, if i recall its to restore your key in case you lost it..
I would still not recommend something like this, and find that microsoft kinda wants to get there hands in a bit to much information.
Pretty sure if you have files locked and somebody needs access police or anything.
Microsoft will just send the key so they can unlock it..
Some weird stuff going on these days same with some laws.. for company's.

How can you be a Windows person while Linux exists? I find it really hard getting back on a Windows computer, I miss so many things!

I use Windows as a gaming station at home, but at work - FreeBSD. No problems with software not feel. On Windows I use free software (OpenOffice, Gimp etc.).

I find Linux somewhat difficult to use, coming from a Windows background.
First, the console irritates me. Every other moment it picks a different behavior, I never know whether, for example, history browsing using up and down arrows will work or will display garbage characters instead. It just sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. What I miss the most in the console and more or less generally everywhere on Linux is the Ctrl+left / right arrow jumping over words. That's just such a natural way to navigate long commandlines, I can't fathom how Linux guys can live without this.

Then there's software, of course. There's nothing quite like the Visual Studio IDE and its integrated debugger, together with its ecosystem. You need symbols for the windows system DLLs? You get them, just check the "Enable MS debug symbols" and you get all the stacktraces you can ever want. The debugger is fast and easy to use. On Linux the debugger IDE integration has always been super-slow and awkward. In MSVC, I just hover the mouse over a few symbols and I know what I'm looking at, what the values are etc. On Linux, I'd die of exhaustion typing all those commands and watch expressions.

Then there's discoverability. In Windows I can click around in the GUIs and I find all the system settings I ever need. In Linux, I need to learn obscure commandlines to do basic operations, let alone some tinkering.

Just found this: https://github.com/DragonetMC/DragonProxy
I wish something like this was integrated into Cuberite.
I think im going to try it myself with a cuberite server


RE: What we're doing - worktycho - 01-05-2016

xoft, For navigating command lines, zsh might offer what you need, but yes I agree, the *nix ecosystem has a lot of problems with fragmentation. For example the thing about history producing random chars, is due to the fact that there are at least 3-4 separate independent components involved in handling translating the up arrow to older commands. But a well set up termcap and .bashrc (or appropriate file for the shell of your choice) can usually fix any problems. As for IDE, I personally found the fact I can swap out my compiler has lead to significant benefits (Clang). And a lot of the feeling of slowness is probably not knowing the platforms. You're comparing a system you barely know to one you know well, then complaining about discoverability.

But generally *nix is for people who like to pick and mix, and windows for people who want the advantages of integration.


RE: What we're doing - xoft - 01-05-2016

I guess I couldn't be a malware analyst. I tried my luck yesterday and today, with very little success.

The previous owners of my house left a DVR system behind them, and it comes with an SDK - a DLL that allows windows apps to connect to the DVR via network and read info from it, configure it, or even view the video streams. Apparently the DVR unit even does motion detection and issues events when it detects motion. I though it could be useful to have a program running on the RasPi that would record these events. So I decided to crack the network protocol - it seems easy enough, just some JSONs being thrown around. Unfortunately each message is prefixed by 20 bytes and I couldn't figure out what those meant. My next idea was to use a disassembler on the SDK DLL to try to find out. After wading through what feels like millions of assembly lines, I'm none the wiserTongue
