whatever happened to last thread?
>>
I have to use windows for playing my PC games, but I would like to move from Windows to Linux for everything else.
Any tips for this? I was thinking of making a partition on my main drive for Ubuntu and dual boot with win10.
How much space does that partition need, just the specified space for the installation or more?

Who here uses a 10Gig network in your home? Why did you build it? Has it been a worthwhile upgrade?
I built one a year ago so that my kid's and wife's computer could access the server at the same time without overloading it. Now I've stripped down my main PC, and all my storage is on the server, all my main driver has is an SSD. I run steam off the network, etc. I don't get the full 10Gig speeds, but it's like accessing a local hard disk. I don't get any latency playing off steam, and load times are only a fraction of a second longer.

I'm still on gbe, the cost to upgrade everything is not really worth it.
Maybe when more shit starts to come with 10gbe nics as standard i'll change.

>>61872899
sure if you can afford 10g switches, the nics and the cables. other than that plain old LACP would have done enough while being cost efficient for home usage

So quantum computing is based on the phenomena that two particles that are entangled will have the same properties even when they are separated by a huge amount of distance, right? Question: how do you entangle particles?

Any oldfag here who was 20 in the 90s and can tell us how hard it is to keep up with the exponential growth of technology?

40 here, what do you mean by "keep up with"?
It's expected that you should progress beyond entry level code monkey/helpdesk jobs into management positions after a while in the trenches
You should of course be careful to avoid this "change is just a fad" mentality that permeates /g/, or you end up like the unemployed "IT jack of all trades" guy who railed against the cloud and smartphones and apps throughout the '00s
But respecting the fact that change happens doesn't require that you act like a hysterical 20 year old with ADHD when you're middle aged

I asked a guy on the Discord Server that I made about making a 64-bit build of it. Now to wait and see if one can be made by him or not.

The same thing happened to me with Krita. If you rotate the canvas, move some layers, then switch some tools, the whole thing crashes.

Inkscape spits out backups on crash in either your home directory or the location of the file you're editing. I haven't yet lost any amount of work due to crashes as opposed to proprietary software.
