I have updated the style suite addon without reading anything first and it turns out the developer has changed how custom postbit settings are saved in the database so everyone just lost their theme lol oops. Only postbits were affected, any other profile customizations remain intact. I don't think anyone wants to go digging for whatever images they used so I will restore the postbit themes from a backup later, I still have all the images and shit.

I am not too good at this whole web admin thing.

My dude just fucking around in prod. Truly a fearless man. On Friday no less lmao

>I am not too good at this whole web admin thing.
I literally worked with less competent people with senior title.
 
The guy literally fucked around in prod for an actual fucking client, changed configs without creating back ups of any kind, didn't communicate the downtime to end users, so we got shitton of tickets. It was Samba configs and fstab iirc.
He though nothing of it and since he was a "Senior", not even a slap on the hand for that shit. Oh and now we have to manually mount one of the shares after every reboot, because for whatever reason it won't mount automatically. Most likely fucked up kerberos config as well.

Same guy also suggested running script he got from the internet on prod without understanding what the script did. Good thing other guy took a look at it, because he'd overwrite our configs and would be pain in the ass to fix it.

We're currently running some ancient Nagios checks written by guy who's not working here anymore, some alerts we get are actually false positives 80% of the time, but current "monitoring expert", have no idea how to fix it and will not create new checks.

We had self proclaimed powershell expert in one of the previous jobs, but when I took over maintenance of one of the bigger scripts, he couldn't tell me literally anything useful, not for the lack of trying either.

We started new project and one of the guys who supposed to lead knowledge transfer can't answer a single question. "Ask <The Other Guy>" is his go to.

I have more, actually, but I'll leave those for some other time

What a nerd
 
The addon is fixed and you can make postbit themes again.
previously configured themes are still missing because I havent had a chance to restore them yet.

    Oh yeah it works there now, I didn't use awave because it doesn't really have any useful formats for what I'm trying to do right now (though at this point I might as well get to work and Frankenstein an XS/XF version of this library)

    Wasn't in my plans but might as well

    I did try to convert the version from archive.org to something more usable like GIGA (played by g-player or by exs24) but that went horribly wrong
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    G-player under logic (at least 2.0) is buggy as all hell

  • A (Guest) anon:
    If it works for you, I guess it's fine. It really did not look to me like there was anything wrong with the ISO, after the track mode change.

  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Oh no the iso is fine, thanks for that

  • A (Guest) anon:
    If the archive.org version is the one I think it is, it's exactly the same as the rutracker one.

  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Guess it was just a very sloppy conversion job to get it to fit on an AKAI CD
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    And it looks like it's also the same as the magesy one, too.

    it's half the size

    Seems to have less programs too

  • A (Guest) anon:
    I don't know, I have three or four versions I got from different places.
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    The archive.org one should be a little over 200mb
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    You are right that the archive.org one was smaller. It also was an ISO, and not a bin+cue.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Yup.
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Yeah forgot to mention it was an iso
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Anyway, the AKAI stuff itself does not look particularly wrong. If anything, I guess something went wrong when ripping it; but it's really strange that it would result in a cue file with the wrong track type.

    What's Mode 2 used for anyway? Never gave it a single thought
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    with that said I haven't burned a CD in well over a decade
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    I think the last time I did it was to burn a copy of SSBB to a DL DVD for some reason
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    I'm not sure. I think it's something to do with CD-XA.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Essentially, mixing CD-ROM and CD-DA tracks in a single CD.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Not sure what mode 2 would have to do with skipping the first 8 bytes, however.
