  • Secondly, I’d attempt to write a bash script to walk a directory tree, cat out files, pipe it through grep and get every instance where VirtualBox is mentioned in a file. Trying the name of proccess, or of the executable too.

    Move to the top of the tree you want to search and do something like this:

    find . -type f -exec grep -iH “virtualboxexecutable” {} ;

    That will give you what you want without the need for a script. -type f makes the find command only search files, and -exec has it run the grep command on any files it returns with -iH giving you case insensitive results showing you the file it’s found in. Substitute ‘virtualboxexecutable’ with whatever the process name is that is being run. If you want to ignore binary files, the add in "| grep -iv “binary file matches” to the command. That will strip out any results where it has searched a binary file.




  • For how much money they rake in these updates should be far more robust if anything.

    They don’t even seem to test. There has been a known issue connecting two Switches to the same game instance, and they have just kept moving the ticket along in Jira, extending out or asking each update if the issue still exist, and someone replies yes, on and on ad infinitum. They obviously aren’t testing on anything other than a pristine godzillabit speed network, otherwise they would have found this issue a long time ago. And I have been playing long enough to remember when exactly that issue was introduced in an update. They make enough money on this franchise that bugs like this should be unacceptable, but hey we have armadillos… And those fucking phantoms. Yeah…









  • I will link to a buffer from harbor freight, and I don’t usually recommend tools from there if they are important or you require a certain quality, but this 6" buffer seems to be holding up well over the years. With this cheap buffer from h.f. I rescued a ton of dvd’s for netflix. I would get them and they would be so scratched my player would have issues. So I would take the dvd out to the shop and give it a once over with the buffer. You have to pay attention to the direction the buffer is spinning and only polish/buff from the center out on the disc, only use a fine polishing compound at the start, and never let the dvd sit in one spot on the buffer or it will do some real damage to it. But I was very successful getting a lot of dvd’s repaired back to a working state with this method. It takes time, and you have be patient, but you can buff them out pretty nicely. Might save the library some money.
