1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Hi All,
Got into a conversation with a Work friend about Win 11, I have been told that it won't co-exist with Linux to give a dual boot machine. I am in doubt about this can it be true, if the boot sequence points to a Windows partition or Linux partition the partitions shouldn't be aware there is another... should it be? I don't think so...
|

IIRC Win11 (and Win10, for that matter) overwrites the MBR that Linux relies upon. One way around this is to first install Windows, allowing it to use only part of the disk, and then install Linux in the free area. The Linux boot sequence should allow multi-booting.
Another method is to install Windows later, and then use a Linux LiveCD to fix the Linux boot record.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Ah OK, I didn't think of the Master Boot Record (MBR) the only multi-boot system I have built is based on XP Pro and Ubuntu (v?), haven't really messed with PC Linux much, most of Linux fun has been with Raspberry PI's...

I have an porch / patio that is unenclosed, but fully covered so I'm always in shade.
Herself obtained new furniture for it that is very comfortable.
I'm now addicted to Outside WFH. I am out here from the beginning of the day & all day.
The kids bought me a bug zapper and that is great for night bugs.
I spray some bug killer around the perimeter, but there are still those nasty creepy crawlies & annoying flies at times.
For this, I have recently obtained a fully-functional assault weapon!!
BUG-A-SALT 3.0 - Kill bugs by shooting them with "salt shotgun"[^]
I barely work now, because I'm hunting down bugs and shooting them. It really works.
Mine has an additional laser pointer on it.
I killed a wolf spider yesterday. Blew it away.
I killed a fly while it was flying!! yes, I'm kind of amazing. 
Alert! While I was typing the last sentences, a bug came flying in and I was forced to shoot it. 
This is a modern marvel of engineering. You simply must get one.

It really is nice for many reasons. actually makes a lot less mess than swatting them with something.
I often create nasty bug-guts spots on things from killing bugs with magazines or newspaper.
Also, you don't waste as many magazines killing bugs. 
At first I thought, "there will be salt everywhere" but having the salt granules is a lot less messy actually.
I would even use this thing inside. It's also nice if you have a bug on the ceiling you can't reach.
Killing creepy crawlies can be a real challenge because they are often in locations not easy to reach.
The bug blaster will get them anywhere.

How much costs the ammo?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Great question. I should’ve mentioned you just fill it with generic table salt and go.
No special ammo needed and that makes it even more fantastic.

I have half a dozen wasp nests under my front porch that SWMBO reminded me about (again) this morning. I can get her one of these and she can do it herself!  (should be fun to watch anyway!)

Bugs and crawlies have a right to live, and exist outside the home. So IMHO, they should not be killed when they are in their natural environment.
Live and let live is what I believe in.

Sorry about the outage. A routine deploy went totally nutso due to an out of date config file being left in the bin directory.
The interesting thing, if you call blind panic interesting, is that the error was manifesting as a null ref in a web control. The web control's code was solid. It was literally impossible for it to manifest this error. What was actually happening is that upstream there was a null ref that was being reported as occurring too far downstream in the stack.
Nothing like trying to put out the fire when you're being told the fire is in the wrong place. Especially odd when the "fire" was essentially in something underwater and covered in asbestos.

Good work nonetheless. I remember one time when I responsible for a particular computer system at a customer's site. We kept have weird glitches. At one point I thought it was fixed so I took the afternoon off to golf with some of the customers. Of course, the thing crashed again while we were golfing. Fortunately, the customer rep who I reported to was in the foursome.
So, at least you were on the ball and not out golfing or otherwise messing around.

Can we assume the poor soul responsible for the errant file has been flogged accordingly?

They've been sent to the Documentation Department. The one with the soundproof doors to block the shrieks of the damned.
