Ay yo, what's the cheapest way for me to build a linux box to be a home server?

I want to use it to edit videos (in Sony Vegas) from a windows machine, without having a loud ugly hard drive in that windows machine. The linux box will be relegated away from my office while still being inside wireless range.

Is editing video over the network going to be a bitch?

is there any software out there for windows systems that allows me to throttle the bandwidth usage of individual applications, or prioritise one applications traffic over any other?

Hello basement dwellers,
What do you think of https://eos.io/? They're basically trying to run an operating system on possibly millions of node. If this shit can be done, what blocks us from building the Singularity!?

1) What browser do you use?
2) Why would you like to recommend it? And which add-ons?
3) Do you prefer performance or privacy?

In case you contribute to the so-called "largest developer community", you should know that you're financing not only their programming site, but a whole network of sites you may not really like. Here are two examples of their obvious agenda:

Anyone else use this? Thoughts?

Personal/portable music player thread /pmp/

What up /pmp/'s, so we've been having these threads for a while now and I noticed some of you prefer it to be called /dap/ since it's more of a catch-all. Is a vote on this needed or are you guys okay with the name as is?

If you want help:
>Assemble your parts list
https://pcpartpicker.com/
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA)
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?
How to assemble a PC, select components & more (kind of outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - Cheapest quad core you can get (Ryzen 3 soon)
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>i7 7700k - Only for 144hz
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.

First of all I'm posting because I'm quite happy that I could finish this game, this is why I'm sharing it here.

>Extended Tic-Tac-Toe
I found a more complex version of Tic Tac Toe on the internet, which is also pretty easy to doodle, so I decided to make small application.
(is called also ultimate tic-tac-toe, nested tic-tac-toe)

The goal is to win with the big squares. Each big square is a Tic-Tac-Toe game, that can be won with the normal rules. The placement of a sign determines in which subsequent big square the game is played.
see next post for instructions

>The game

The game code is available on my github:
https://github.com/Pella86/ExtendedTris
The application is written with python with only native libraries.
For windows users I bundled it in an application (9.64 Mb):
https://github.com/Pella86/ExtendedTris/blob/master/ExtendedTris.zip

>Questions

1. I have a bug, when I press new game, is like if the Board doesn't get initialized, so the BigCells, instead of having None, they have the previous game settings. How would you reinitialize a tkinter game?

2. I want to implement an A.I., do you have any suggestions? A state search is an option, but might get computationally intensive.
For now I had suggestions to look into the MinMax algorithm, and somebody suggested the Quantum Tic Tac Toe. I think the minmax will be awesome for the small squares, but for the big one game, would be not so useful. Would you mind telling me your strategies? Ill try to translate them to code.

_you lost it_
