i have to have a car because otherwise i cant drive around the country solving mysteries while being doggedly pursued by federal marshals for a crime i did not commit (9/11)
a while back i started only being able to access websites on a certain server via http. like, just happened out of the loving blue. it's not a super crucial service, so no one higher up has really put any resources into figuring out what the hell is going on, but I keep coming back to the issue to try and sort it out.


valid CA cert with a private key is bound to 443, and doing a port check shows that its status is "established" but still no secure connection to applications hosted there.

e: to confirm, i can hit the IIS splash screen over http, but not https.

is there a real reason this is using IIS?

there’s an esri web adapter on the server that uses IIS. is that uncommon? thought you had to use that tool for certificate binding as well.

this isn’t really my area of practice but I’m trying to understand it nonetheless.

I’ll peek at this, thanks. had vendor support on the line friday and he noted that for some reason the identity server on the machine in question can’t be reached because the certificate/private key isn’t accessible during log in requests.

luckily he gave me a write up to just pass onto my boss, as I’m sure I can’t convey everything adequately. sounds like there’s something fundamentally hosed up on the server.

hey how can you tell in windows if programs are running out of memory, or more correctly, losing performance due to lack of memory?

page faults delta?

I've wondered about that too. In the old days I could tell because my old rear end hard drive would start grinding like hell when i ran out of ram and it had to start using virtual memory, but now that I have an SSD I have no idea when this happens aside from (presumably) framerate drops

i was remembering that not even that long ago I would leave my computer rendering all night for a single frame and now i get pissed off if they’re not done in 2 minutes and along with that has been unabashed use of resources and what used to feel like a lot of ram 32gb i’m now wondering if it’s not

usage gets up around 29gb and stays there. i can’t help but feel that it’s use more if I had it

suppose there’s only one thing to do - buy more ramb

you can use task manager to view processes and memory usage

right click the task bar, click task manager, then more details, then look at the processes tab

oh yes, but that doesn’t really tell me if a program “wants” to use more memory

i used to think a page fault was when i program forced the operating system to use the page file and that’s a sign of running out of memory, but idk anymore


suppose i could always turn off the pagefile

page fault means that the data wasn’t in memory (or cache) when it was looked for, meaning that it’s gotta go be found

cache to memory is slow
memory to disk is really slow
better with ssd, but still really slow

hard page fault is the bad one where it has to go to a page file, a normal page fault is just something that happens and is more an indicator that memory is actively being used in the process

application performance is the overall indicator, so if you have some way of tracking that (like sql perf counters for avg query time etc) its best to get a baseline of what your expected performance is and if something is bogging down. hard page faults are the one that will really grind everything to a halt, so if you're seeing those you need more memory (either to the OS as a whole or possibly to a specific process if its capping its physical ram usage or something like that), but everything is more complicated with the massive layers of caching that have been introduced both by the OS and often in the application framework (.net, java, whatever) which will attempt to cache as much of the filesystem that is likely to be touched as possible. sometimes this amounts to jack-poo poo in increased performance, other times it makes a massive difference and even basic memory pressure causing those caches to evaporate will slow things down. Its 100% dependent on the specific application you are working with, there are few hard and fast rules here because the program could be doing almost anything under the hood

ya know tho whats pissing me off? i have 32gb ddr4 ram. a 24 thread 3-4ghz processoir and m2 ssd



and right clicking on a icon in explorer in windows still takes a second


its like windows dumps everything after each time. I think its related to some of the things have loaded like winrar etc, but drat, cant windows just hold a few things in memory?

buy something from 8bitdo. i tried a knockoff controller for $25 and it was garbage that didn't work with mac, pc or a pi, then i paid $40 for an 8bitdo snes style controller and it has worked perfectly with everything.

just get an xbox one controller. windows understands it natively, the new ones do bluethooth so you don't even need a receiver, and they're better than 360 controllers because they have a real d-pad.

Supposedly the steam controller is pretty good, but I haven't tried it because I also use a 360 controller.

ive been using autoruns for a long time friend

it solves some problems but not very well and not very clearly. there are some things I still want in my context menu.

the problem is that even if it was bad its not a complex task. it still shouldnt require so much time. especially if I do it and then do it again. windows is clearly flushing caches or not keeping poo poo in cache that it could

simply put.. steve ballmer smells
