I'm actually considering getting a VPS just for installing H@H on, any idea of a good provider for this?

>>42959897
I wouldn't know, but make sure you don't get any shared VPSs, as they'll get angry with you for having 100% CPU usage for longer periods of time.
Also, I've seen a few VPSs specifically not allowing H@H, so watch out for that.

Also, doesn't it require at least decent specs to be worth anything?

So is /g/ not interested in VPSs?

Only storage? Tapes.

Chained hardware RAID cards

What >>42955225 said isn't far off, but good luck trying to buy half a dozen super tapes.

fizzbuzz doesn't require 27"+ screen size
Bottom one looks better though

34" ultrawide since movies are closer to that format and 4k is dumb since OS scaling is shit. Also games

>>42958193
ultrawide should be curved
it's too flat

But it will

Because cooling

Why do you think mITX is quiet? You need to use 90mm fans (loud), there's little airflow (loud), and you can't use a big HSF (loud)

Aand most people aren't concerned about an extra square foot used by an ATX case and don't move their desktops often

Why would I use Debian over CentOS?

1. Init system

2. It's not, it just annoys BSD users that their init system is far slower. Systemd optimises its code for GNU/Linux

3. Yes.

4. Yes, Ubuntu and Debian have both transferred

5. lol

>>42942811
>1. What exactly is systemd?
system management daemon
>2. Why is it bad?
Practically, it isn't. Philosophically, a bunch of retards are going >muh unigz
>3. Is it open source?
Yes
>4. Will Trisquel, gNewSense, or Debian be implementing it?
Yes, all three of these distros are implementing it.
>5. If it's safe, why does chkrootkit detect a rootkit in it?
no clue, I don't use chkrootkit

Why should it be bad?

Not to mention they have splitters on all cables in the US, probably the world. They can just see the unencrypted traffic at the end of the chain of exit nodes and find you.

Tor is literally useless against someone like the NSA.

Lets just use unencrypted internet then ;^)

>>42950875
This still doesn't make the hidden services insecure since they don't go through exit nodes.

Anyone?

I have SERO at the moment and debating dropping it

I half-assed read your story wondering why someone would give 2 fucks if someone was wrong.

Binary is a numbering system, like octal or base ten.

This dude was right.

Machine code is 'ones and zeroes'. Assembly language is at least human-readable machine code, but may include macros etc.

"In a lengthy editorial in the December 1980 issue of Kilobaud Magazine, chief editor Wayne Green decried the poor state of business software available for the TRS-80 and the state of the microcomputer industry in general. He described in colorful terms how Kilobaud had purchased an $8000 Algorithmics Disk System from Seal Computers in 1977 complete with word processor for their office, and that the machine barely functioned most of the time, being plagued by continuous memory, printer, and disk snafus. Not only was the included word processor nearly impossible to use due to the UI and almost unreadable documentation, but Green complained that there was no guarantee that files saved to the disks would be recoverable. A monitor purchased with the computer was never delivered despite payment in full, and most of the past four years had been spent trying to get the computer to work, during which time Seal Computers had gone out of business."

"Green remarked bitterly that 'It's likely to be a long time before any business would be sane enough to trust their vital data to a personal computer and until then, I'm sticking with my trusty IBM typewriter.'"

Is there like a general quick guide to the history of (consumer?) computing?

Primarilly interested in Apple-][ to Win 2000 in terms of "timeline", but ideally as much coverage as possible.

Basically, I have a lot of misc knowledge of old systems and some of their history, and I want to quickly catch up on the notable parts of the rest of it, so a book, a web-article, or anything cool like that would be nice to learn. Even if it doesn't meet my initial question (quick general guide to a broad subject) and just covers a small segment (say web-browser wars of the 90s) I'd be interested to see.

In short, can someone link me some cool pages/info on old tech stuff?

Won't be here to reply for a little bit since I'm heading out to my parents to get my old laptop back.

I was wondering if you guys could help me.
I have an old laptop with MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 installed.
The laptop has all the drivers it needs (I had a field day trying to find the graphics driver for the graphics chip)
Everything works in windows (well almost)

First problem:
If I launch a game like Quake or Duke Nukem 3D from Windows, the game fails to load and either crashes the computer or sends me back to Windows. Quake always freezes the computer.

Second problem:
The only way to control the volume on the computer is with a key combo.
This works perfectly fine under DOS in games and such, but as soon as I start Windows the volume drops to around 10% and the key combo does nothing.

Windows has the proper drivers for both the sound chip and graphics chip.

Any idea what could be causing these issues?

As soon as
a) I'm either compensated for it or
b) the infrastructure becomes open source and runs on other OS than FagOSX. and even then, it's optimistic. Guess, I'l rather use another modern language like D or Julia.

Why did you even get that much storage to begin with?

I have been wondering, are you capable of using that as a main screen as well? As in, using it in place of the monitor?

>>42935384
The wheel and Oculus freqently get moved around, so the easiest way is to have the cables like this (even though it looks bad).

>>42935404
No. The resolution is so bad and the screen is so close to your eyes you could practically count the pixels.
