Piece of shit software - Crappy software/apps/programs that make you MATI

[Kosher Dill]

Just wait, once Intel and AMD start integrating the Microsoft designed security core into their processors, they plan to control not only how you use Windows, but all the software that you run on Windows.

Windows can already do that without any special hardware. At any time they could send out a Windows update that makes it refuse to run any binaries that aren't signed by a certain key or on a certain whitelist.

In fact, Windows 10 S is precisely that. Microsoft Store apps only.

I'm surprised I haven't seen a rant about Oracle. There's literally not enough bad I can say about them that hasn't been said a thousand times before. I warned the C-suite about it. I was brought in to integrate Netsuite anyway. It was 18 months that broke me. Have you ever had someone else's fuck up mean you have to spend weeks working overtime just to fix it? Like >100,000 of them. This happened multiple times. Even with a God damn year in a half, "go live" was an absolute clusterfuck. The integration team we paid out the nose for was useless. Except for when their credentials were required. Except even then they were usually out of office. I understand why everything was remote through WebEx. I would have murdered their personnel with my bare hands by the end of it.

I'm kinda curious, why does pip, especially with venv, not work in your case? I've made simple chroot jails for personal things that require exotic dependencies, maybe that's an alternative in some cases.

I was trying to install renovate to automate updating ansible plays when new versions of software are released that I need to manually install. Some of the dependencies failed to install on a centos 8 stock VM. I don't understand why it didn't work either.

Yeah, but there are ways around this, including messing with the key store, since all the areas where a key can be stored can be accessed one way or another (such as tapping the TPM bus). With the key store actually inside the processor, that is no longer true, because there is nothing to be tapped. It is literally part of the processor's silicon. You can see that here, as an example:

The entire security subsystem it literally an area etched on the processor silicon itself.

Just drill it, it worked on the Xbox 360 chip.

Unfortunately, that would not work in this instance. In the XBox 360 hack they were just destroying two bridge wires to enable to write function, it has nothing to do with the actual silicon die of the processor, and nothing to do with the actual keys stored in a secure area of the processor core.

So? This only means anything for the people who would be willing to change operating systems to get around this in the first place, and that's not many. The Microsoft coup could absolutely happen today using no technology that didn't exist in 2002, and people would mostly just sit there and take it.

Basically every "Enterprise" software package or consultancy service is a straight up scam.

The problem is when you get to a certain size you need to either pay for one of the big scam services or pay to build your own infrastructure. Guess what the bosses go for almost every fucking time? Netsuite is insanity. I can't even link you to a singular DB schema, because it's really a schema of schemas. I won't go back. I will shovel shit before I touch Netsuite again.

Unpopular opinion but I like it better than slack. People act more normal on it in my experience.

There's something about slack that makes everyone who uses it try to act like they're being clever internet memer ree rees. Like fuckers who think its necessary to use 5 different emotes in their message to tell me that the CI job is still passing.

I remember Slack being pretty good about 6 years ago, at least compared to Skype.
Weirdly I find that Zoom is now the least-worst chat software, since it's just a bare-bones MSN-era chat bolted on to their video conferencing software.

Idk. I feel like matrix is pretty good since you don't have to use the bloated electron client if you don't want too. Downside is some of the alternative apps don't support video but then again I don't think most people use video anyway.

No, it just looks like a fuckup that affects forum use in certain browsers. I post on other perfectly innocent forums, some using xenforo. It seems okay if you just want to post a few words, but quoting posts or posting images makes things go weird, starting with making the post box spool down like you're bashing the return key.

It affects Samsungs browser and Brave. No two BATs a month for Josh, for now. Duckduckgo seems fine though.

I had the same issue with either an s9 or s10 on android 10 on Brave after a system update. Used to go all fucky after two words or so and jump around and not show what I typed. Can't remember what resolved it.


You guys missed some really good posts from me *cries*

Docker
Oracle VirtualBox
and Windows

Together they form the Devil's Triangle of fuckery in this latest adventure of mine.

I am a poor (in money and luck) unfortunate soul who has a need to virtualize Windows 10, on top of Windows 10 Home Edition. That almost immediately pushes me into needing to use Oracle VirtualBox for several reasons:

1.Microsoft decided that the Home Edition user doesn't need full Hyper-V capabilities (more on this later).
2. VMWare Workstation has told free users who have needs as basic as snapshots and rollback, to eat shit and die.
3. I already know VBox as I run linux boxes out of it.

So this all should be easy enough right? Just download a legit ISO from Microsoft and crank it off like any other machine right? Well, I wouldn't be posting here if it was.

You see, I use(d) Docker because some software demanded it. Because of Windows 10 Home Edition disabling actual Hyper-V, I had to install the abomination unto mankind called Windows Subsystem for Linux 2. That software could be a rant of its own accord.

So why is Docker a problem, or more accurately, why is having docker being capable of running concurrently with VBox Win 10 impossible on the Win 10 HE? Because of shit going on between VBox and Windows.

You see, Windows has implemented a bunch of gimped "not quite Hyper-V" subsystems to windows, part of this comes with WSL2. Part of it starts up with windows, for no God-Damned reason, and you have to edit the boot configuration data to prevent it from starting. Each of these particular subsystems will prolapse the asshole of a VirtualBox Windows 10 Virtualization on Windows 10 Home Edition.

Why does Oracle's VirtualBox hopelessly try to run Hyper-V like virtualization over those gimped components instead of its own fairly competent emulation engine? Who knows. But there is no way to force it in the program, and there is no troubleshooting support for any problem like this in the manual or on their actual official website.

To cut a very long story about searching for the problem short, here are a couple of web pages which should help if you too are a lost soul like I was/am:

Now where does that leave me with docker? Well, I can't use it directly from the host, I may be able to run it out of a linux virtual machine, but stacking VMs like that crushes my soul.

I could never get good performance out of virtualbox either & you're right, vmware can suck dick. Gnome boxes is arguably worse. For VM's I suggest giving qemu with virt-manager a try since that's what I'm literally using right now to do all my college assignments in,

Truly a great example of why we should have never taught sand to think in the first place.
