I have programmed in Linux for 47 years, one of the worlds best languages. I worked together with linustechtips to invent the programming penguin mascot too.

Looking at that picture, I am surprised why haven't you signed up yet.

but before that, learn a thing or two about Linux. By looking at >learn basic linux programming
I can assure you that by reading about Linux on wikipedia will greatly help you to sort out your misconceptions about Linux, you pajeet.

Yest, it's called a splitter.

i see, but is there not one with some form of switch that means both arent outputting at the same time

No, don't listen to the other anon. It's an audio switch

Personifying a GNU/Linux distro to an animu waifu.

Absolutely...

I left Debian for Fedora because I can get better security and newer packages with roughly the same stability as Debian stretch. I still use Debian on my home server but I'll probably switch that too when I have time.

>>61560641
what do you mean by better security? I thought debian and fedora were roughly equal for that

why not both

>>61560435
Botnets aren't a security addition

If weed was legal, nobody would turn to dealers and organized crime if they could grow it themselves. It's like the roaring 20s over again with prohibition.

Thanks to the anons who replied about RAID/backups.

What's the best option for a networked backup solution? Also, won't 16TBs require at least that much to back up, or will backup programs significantly compress things?

How is this for commenting?

class Vector {
    private:
    //Each vector has, at least, an X and Y value. 
    float x, y, z;
    
    public:
    //Default Constructor
    Vector() {x = 0; y = 0; z = 0;}
    //Standard 3D constructor
    Vector(float xP, float yP, float zP);
    //Standard 2D constructor
    Vector(float xP, float yP);
    
    //Return the vector as a string
    string getVector();
    //Multiply each vector component by the given float value.
    Vector operator*(float multiplier);
};

Anything to improve? What are some fundamental things to know when professionally commenting code?

>>61560365
I'm using rsync for backups. You just mount the destination and do:
rsync -ahAEHX --delete --info=progress2 source destination.

So, /g/ ?

Who is he?

Smart guy, good inventor but he's a figurehead for redditors and peddles technological parlor tricks and longevity supplements to gullible morons. He's a terrible movie director too, the "documentary" he made is fucking awful.

He kind of went quiet after 2012 after he got hired by Google. Though that was also around the time I stopped consuming a lot of singularitarian media so it could just be me.

The consumerism feels reliable and comforting

there are a lot of goods to talk about
smartphones and gpus are 2/10 Soros/Pajeet tier

It's mostly a meme

Yeah I got 20 of them in my raid server, with additional 5 SSD for my OS and as cache. They are really good for their performance/cost, get them if you don't want to skimp out on money

I never heard good things about hybrid drives.

And yet they're making more money (=successful) than literally every other existing entity on the planet.

BTFOs the idea that consumers are rational actors who pick the best product. People are completely susceptible to marketing and will not make an informed choice.

Except Samsung

>how can x be not equal to y AND n.
Let x be 'p'.
'p' is not 'y', nor is it 'n'.
Therefore x is not 'y', nor is it 'n'.

>what if x is n then first test fails and assumingly do while should fail and loop again.
Well, that's what makes a do/while loop different from a regular loop. The first iteration is executed regardless of whether the condition would be satisfied or not, and during that iteration, things might change that would cause the condition to be satisfied where it was not previously.

The loop will keep going so long as x isn't equal to 'y' or 'n'.
Why is that so hard to understand?

>>61560059
>or
are you blind? && is and.
to me it makes more sense to have || instead of && in there.
