Any Internet Networking geniuses out there? I have an issue.
My Internet spikes periodically every 30-45 seconds. This causes my ping to rise from my usual 30ms-50ms, to 150ms - 2000ms. Streaming Youtube videos and downloading files aren't a problem at all. However, gaming is impossible.
I have a NETGEAR N450 modem/router thing. There are about 7 devices connected to the router. 3 are through Ethernet and 4 are wireless. "Anon, too many devices take up bandwidth and can cause spikes." Fair enough, which is why I decided to play a game of League of Legends and Overwatch right before I post this (5am EST). Everyone is asleep, all laptops are shut off, and the only devices connected are 3 smartphones (they aren't turned off, but it shouldn't factor into why I'm spiking) and my Desktop. I have a file of packets I recorded using Wireshark while playing Overwatch, but I have no idea what I'm reading. Sometimes, when I use the Windows 7 diagnostics tool for my Local Area Connection, it tells me that my network is properly configured, but my DNS server isn't responding. This also happens after I switch from an automatic DNS to Google's public DNS.
I do have access to my router settings, so if I have to block every devices from accessing the Internet to see if they are the issue, I will do so at a later date. In the meantime, lets assume other devices aren't the issue.
A temporary fix I've found is a power cycle reset of my desktop and router. However, this only lasts for about 1 hour tops and I can't make this a habit as it will annoy everyone else in the household.
If there is anymore information I have to provide, feel free to ask. Thank you for your time.

I had that, looked for ages with all sorts of complicated methods like you, turned out i had some stupid messenger program open in the background which was raping my ping

Check what software is running in the background. You say it takes about 1h for the symptopms to come back but that is after a power reset. If you cant find the culprit it could be the router that is overloading. Have you tried to factory reset it?
>>
is this 2.4GHz wifi or 5GHz?
if the first, there might be a bluetooth device causing issues as they share the same frequency band
for either band, check to see if there are any other wireless networks on the same channel or on a nearby channel and possibly change channel
if there are NO other wireless networks then skip this bit:
don't know which country you're in but generally there are only 3 non-overlapping channels on the 2.4GHz band to choose from: 1, 6 and 11
these channels are also only 20MHz apart so set your wireless router's channel width to 20MHz or you'll end up fighting against someone else's router's signals
-- end of skipable bit --
if you're using WPA2 make sure you're using AES and not TKIP or AES+TKIP as that's known to slow throughput in some cases
also a far away connected device (only managing 1Mbps) generally drags down the throughput of all connected devices
if you have the option, maybe you can set your wireless router's QoS algorithm to CoDel
have you tried a firmware update? or open source firmware like OpenWRT or DDWRT
blah blah google etc.

So I have had this summer a really great time with one of my friends. We slept together had lot of fun kissed etc. Thing is I tried to make a relationship work and she told me that she wasn't ready. I'll greentext it.
>talk to her about us and shit
>I also suffer from depression so I was unsure about this but wanted to try
>basically this bitch told me she was not ready but I was her first choice
>time passes and I have problems with my depression
>end up getting gelous and probably talked to her too much
>basically she randomly decides to distance herself from me
>I find out to a party she invited me to that she was with another guy
>get really fucking angry and I end up doing stupid shit
>she gets mad because of this and fucking randomly kisses this guy on front of me
>then gives me the bitch look after they finish kissing
>I get really sad and angry
>after 2 months looks like she wants to remain friends
So basically wtf do I do? I already know I have fucked up the question is do I act normal towards her or do I ignor her? She is into the group of my best friends so it's nkt like I can avoid her. Also things is she is really a great person and I know we can still have lot of fun but every time I think about the bitch move she did I get really pissed of and can't talk to her.

Ignore her, distance yourself from the friend circle, the true friends will understand and work around the awkwardness with her to still hang out.
>end up getting gelous and probably talked to her too much
>basically she randomly decides to distance herself from me
that wasn't random btw, it was because you reached out too much
learn the lesson and move on
>she gets mad because of this and fucking randomly kisses this guy on front of me
>then gives me the bitch look after they finish kissing
she's the fucking worst, you don't want her anyway man
gl, sorry
you didn't really get cucked cuz you guys weren't exclusive though fwiw

Kill her and her friend in their sleep.

They are my best friends I meet them almost everyday. I don't want to distance them from me just because a girl acted like the bitch she is.

Here's the dealio /adv/.
I befriended a girl on tinder and we just talked as casual friends on/off for several months. A couple months back I was having girl problems and she was having guy problems and we confided in each other. Things fell through and she and I started flirting with each other more and gleefully went on a date with each other.
So we went on a date and made out in my car, things got heated and that's when the date went downhill.
She played hard to get over communication with me the following week until finally she decided she wanted to talk to me and on up. Pic related.
We reassured each other we could develop our friendship more so I made the boneheaded move on asking her to a movie today. Well, she flaked citing she needed to be there for her friend tonight.
Anyway, I understand she's been burned plenty of times with guys and it's really hard for her to trust someone. What can I do to win her trust? What's the likelihood of her ever wanting to see me again?

Wait two days. Ask her out again. If she says no, wait for her to ask you (as in don't worry about her anymore).

>Anyway, I understand she's been burned plenty of times with guys and it's really hard for her to trust someone. What can I do to win her trust?
Honestly, there is literally no such thing as this nonsense. She think she's being nice by letting you down like this, but you're going to be a lot more hurt when she meets some new guy she likes and is sucking his dick after a week.

>>17742298

So in other words, she might just be playing me and didn't actually have a good time on our date?

Repost of >>17740745 because it closed before I managed to stop back by.
>>17740831
My whole life I got sold on the "you're nothing without college" meme, and, in an ironic twist of fate, wound up being unable to do it for 2 years shortly after graduating high school, and with my ego tied to it, have just fucked myself over esteem-wise.
I was diagnosed with depression (though not entirely related to my lack of finishing college) and met with a lot of opposing information as to the effectiveness of antidepressants, so I have as of now not gotten any.
I'm 20, almost 21, and have an intense aversion to doing things I consciously want to do. I've been wanting to git gud at drawing and programming (which I was going to college for) for three years now, and still get uncomfortable/find a reason to stop whenever I force myself to start.
I thought it was just typical laziness, but I have a job and work overtime pretty routinely with no complaints, but I'm also aware the job is getting me nowhere.
Now I'm furious withmyself because I keep p ushing off not starting things I like because I feel too old, even though not doing it only worsens the problem. I know 20 isn't exactly ancient, but I don't know of anyone good at "x" that started so late, either.
How do I get over this mental block?

This statement is what is killing you and it is incredibly false. Many of the Greats did not start off as child prodigies or even get into their career into later. It helps to be on a track to a certain goal, but by no means is it the only way to get to the life you want.

Is that true? Perhaps I just didn't know of enough people.

Brother, I started college at the age of 21. In my country and in my specific school, students graduated with a high-school and trade diploma at the age of 20. If they took both "0th year education" focusing on a foreign language and finished their "+1 year" and specialized in their trade, they started college at the age of 22 or 23 mostly.
Most of those people went on to work abroad, some even in the US. They're as good as someone who finished in a completely different education system that pushes out 22 year old young proffessionals. And I'm talking about electr.engineers and programmers here, I studied that boring shit unfortunately.
It's not about age, it's about your knowledge and skill.

I'm a single grill, but not interested in romance. I'm just want friends with similar interests and my interests tend to align with guys more than grills.
But guys often take my desire for friendship as a desire for a romantic relationship. I want to make it clear that I'm not interested right from the getgo without having to be a fucking autist and tell everyone when I first meet them. And it takes a stern repetitive paragraph's worth of words to get through to them that I don't want a romantic relationship. Which I hate doing because I'm not a confrontational person.
I don't want to them to think I giving them mixed signals or leading them on just because I'm being friendly. I just want it to be clear that friendship is all is want. I just want friends I can hang out, hike, and play vidya with. That's all. I just want friends.
And no, I'm not hot or even good-looking. I'm fat with facial hair for days. You'd think that'd be enough to dispel any interest, but apparently fucking not.

You can really affect how others interpret you and your action. You can ignore a neckbeard and tell him to fuck off, he still might interpret it as playing hard to get.
All you need to do is say that you're not interested in relationships if somebody asks you directly.

just say you're in a relationship. anyone asks for details, tell them to fuck off cos it's none of their business.

A friend of mine has been raped on 8 seperate occasions over the past six months and now suffers PTSD. Everytime we're in an intimate sexual situation she freezes up and has a panic attack, then breaks down into tears. Anyone have experience on how to help her through this?

Sounds like she needs therapy.

>>17741829
Hallucinogens are good for overcoming psychological trauma. Always go the natural route and give her some mescaline, magic mushrooms or ahuasca. She doesnt have to do alot to "trip" either. She can just take small amounts every day referred to a "micro dosing". I wish her good luck and will be sending her healing energy.

>>17741829
She was raped 8 times in 6 months? Is she the most unlucky girl in the world, or is she just fucking other people and has no interest in you sexually? I'll let you be the judge.

GUIDELINES:
Before you post a question, check here to see if it's already been answered.
Keep questions short for more answers.
If you're not going to like honest answers, don't ask your question.
And please no derailing arguments.
FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>Is my body part big/small enough?
>Am I short/tall enough?
>Would you date a virgin?
><random insecurity>
Some do, some don't. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.
>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practising and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever.
>I like someone. What do I do?
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.
>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online.
>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. You're overthinking it.
>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't know.
>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing.
>Someone has made it super clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No.
>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>.
>Brandon, that guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships and fart guy
Fuck off

Alright I'll repost my greentext from its own thread.
>meet girl
>hit it off
>she has a boyfriend
>keep hitting it off and seeing each other almost every other day
>one night, drink absinthe and get plastered
>we fuck
>tell close friends about situation
>they tell me I shouldn't date her because she cheated once and might cheat again
>keep fucking every time we meet (I'm bad)
>she tells me she's tired of her bf and can't connect on the same level as with me
>continue meeting up and fucking on the reg
>last week
>tells me "we can't keep doing this"
>apparently when I was extremely drunk I told her I wouldn't want to date
>no more sex
We're pretty dependent right now even without sex. My mind says we've been immoral and I shouldn't reward our behavior with a relationship, but I really do love her as a person.
>>
>>17741435
The question I'd be asking is why didn't she leave her boyfriend?
>>
>>17741435
You're both assholes for cheating.
Your friends are right, she cheated once she will cheat on you too. But you're honestly just as fucking despicable for allowing her to cheat so you're trash too I guess.
You're right, you deserve nothing for being the absolute fucking scum of the earth.

Femanon here (sry no tits), I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
Basically, my ex boyfriend posted nude pics of me on a revenge porn website after we broke up. I sent him these pics with confidence he would delete them afterward. I know very stupid but I was in love and I trusted him.
When anyone Googles my name, these naked pics are on the first page of my Google results.
I will be graduating college next month with a degree in Accounting, I will have about 3.6 GPA and am graduating from a very reputable state university.
I am scared to death every potential employer I submit my resume to will Google my name and see these nasty results. I'm considering legally changing my name, but I know employers also do background checks which provide all previous legal names.
I guess I'm wondering if anyone can offer any advice on this? Is anyone else in the same boat? I do plan on taking legal action against my ex, but I can't afford an attorney right now, so it will have to wait until I've been working for a few months ... I'm beyond embarrassed and the whole situation has ruined me. I guess I have no where to turn to and I feel very alone :(

My dad just got off of a Skype call with me and I've never felt so conflicted.
He was crying and pleading with me not to change my last name when I get married. He said he doesn't want to lose his little girl.
I also don't want to offend my fiancé by keeping my last name and the having to go through the process with our possible future children.
This is really bothering me and I really need some help.

You gotta tell your dad to fuck off. I know of like 3 women that have been divorced because of the last name bullshit and it killed the man on the inside and made them resent her. Is it a "stupid" tradition? Maybe. But it's kind of a big deal to us guys. Your dad sounds weird as fuck. He has to let his daughter go. This is like the only tradition I think is actually worth adhering to in modern society. Change your damn last name. You will still be his daughter if you do. But he's gotta realize that your husband is going to be the #1 man in your life.

You can keep your last name and just have your kids take on your husbands last name. That way, it's kind of a win-win.

Walked past my local pub tonight after my wageslave shift. It's being redone as something for the hipsters/yuppies/students. And I could genuinely feel a weight on my chest at just how far and quickly the gentrification is happening. I didn't even drink at that place.
I still bet the fault will be laid on foreigners, the brown and polish ones.
Not the cool ones mind, the french, spanish, italian, etc, you know the ones that seem to be importing hipsters that are making the rents higher. Cos poor white people think other rich white people have their best interests at heart.
