/g/,
what experience do you have with setting up/using a vps? I just set up a free ubuntu server via amazon web services and am attempting to set up an irc server for my friends to chat on.
What are the best vps services? What other cool things can you do with these?
my vps has cocks.
are you really setting up an irc server just for you and your friends?
>>61443599
Yes I am, figured it would be a fun way to learn a little more about irc.

I went AWS → DigitalOcean → Vultr over ~5 years or so?
AWS free instance is nice, but otherwise AWS is terribly overpriced unless you need other Amazon services to integrate with.
DigitalOcean has relatively good services and I didn't have any problems with DO at all.
I eventually moved to Vultr because Vultr allows custom ISOs and has more ram for the same price as DO. Don't trust Vultr's cheapest instances though, because they're always "sold out", but you won't know that until you'll try to spin up one.
Also, both DO and Vultr provide on-site backups that you CAN'T download, those are literally useless, don't pay for those, set up your own backups.
Why don't you use KDE?

Is there any hardware tests I can do to determine which one is busted?
Really don't want to risk buying a useless motherboard if it's the CPU.
>>61443021
PSU is most likely .
Even if the cpu or gpu overheat they shouldn't catastrophically fail together at the same time . Second would be the motherboard . What kind of PSU do you have
>>61443086
I tested the PSU with another computer and it worked and booted fine. I bought it not even a year ago, so I don't it's already bad.
PSU in question - CoolerMaster V550
http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/modular-vs-series/v550s/
I had a processor that would cause the entire computer to BSOD whenever I would watch videos on either browser or VLC. It would play video games and other programs fine though. If the motherboard looks fine and the integrated graphics don't work I would try swapping the cpu.
Poor Hungarian people...
this is the website: https://shop.bkk.hu/bkk/bkkmain
Story:
BKK (Centre for Budapest Transport) ordered a website where peoples are able to buy ticket online and they can skip queue at office.
"White hackers" (simple users who never saw code yet) has found some vulnerabilities in this site. (Plain text password, buying ticket without pay etc.) They reported that to BKK and BKK said this was lawless and our system was safe. "only clever users are able to use smart devices" so they think Hungarian people are moron, nowadays normal people never would find issues in system.

Why would you risk Windows nuking your drive(s) or crashing your only machine?
>>61442819
my windows 7 doesn't even know Linux exists. seperate hard drives and linux controls grub. i can explore windows drive and folders from linux but not vice versa. dual booting from same drive can fuck your shit up, esp if you run windows 10 i hear there's lots of problems with windows 10 being a territorial cunt
Meh. I have Windows 10 and Arch on the same SSD in my laptop. Never had an issue. UEFI made it a lot easier. Windows has it's own boot manager that the systemd boot manager chainloads if I want Windows.

Are flowcharts a meme? I've only recently started to get into programming, but I took an intro course a while back that stressed how important flowcharts are. It seemed like a whole lot of bullshit to me. Opinions?
>>61442760
It's there so women can also learn how to code.
>>61442760
It depends.
If the program is complex, it's worth taking some time to make the damn diagrams before jumping staight to code. Saves time + less headaches.
>>61442760
They're actually good to present ideas or complete tasks to teams of programmers, also keeping yourself on toe that you won't forget functions and have to implement them later on in more complex programs.
For a shitty 4pages code to simplify stupid tasks, flow charts are indeed unnecessary.

my friend just sent me this picture, telling that he bought btc miner and hes gonna mine bitcoins. I dont think he made any research earlier. Did he make a good choice? Is btc mining still profitable? Should he mine other cryptocurrency instead?

Im too poor to afford one of these, also I heard its not profitable since 2016.

Why is /g/ obsessed with Karlie Kloss when there are actually talented coders out there?
>>61442529
Kloss is a model
Cause /g/ would still give her a good dicking even though she is 202 cm.
We like to pretend women can't be good at programming even though programming in reality is a woman's job.

As you can see the other side of the cooler got only 4 screws and I tightened them in order, made sure they are tight... not sure why the cooling is fucked.
Before this it was spewing lava. Now it's lukewarm (i.e.: no contact, barely any? I don't know..)
