What is the verdict on Palemoon? Is it good? Is it "meh" or a real pile of crap?

It uses less RAM than FF. It's not bad, but there's no reason not to use FF or FF Nightly.

Tixati is what you really want. Lightweight, DHT, reliable, and has every option you could want.
You do back up your data don't you anon?
Tell me how. I personally keep all my files encrypted in a 300gb Microsoft OneDrive and clone the folder nightly.
Everything else is replaceable except music collection which is on Google Music and just copied to an external drive once in awhile.

I use the sbackup utility (different from simple-backup) and I like it. I don't think it's being developed anymore and it's imperfect, but it gets the job done.

All my data is on a Raid 5. In XOR I trust.

Anything i want to keep goes to external drive(s).

Nice. I am more inclined towards AMD these days
Does it mean no more proprietary drivers for looniks? Guess, Intel gets more competition from now on.
Something I found in an abandoned communications building in Northern Greenland (Thule). I believe it sat in the frozen elements (albeit sheltered indoors) since the early 2000s. I added some key stickers to convert in from Danish to English and a USB cable but it serves me well.

WD's Black line seems like fucking highway robbery in Canadaland (and probably elsewhere) for anything over 2 TB. Who the fuck in their right mind would pay $290 for a 4 TB Black when you could have a Seagate 4 TB for $170 or a WD Blue for $185, or a Blue SSHD or Red for $200?
>>58803599
>implying the seagate wouldn't shatter, explode, catch on fire, take money from your credit card, fuck your wife, and explode again in the time that it takes to boot up your computer
WD is expensive for a reason, i would rather pay 100 more and not half to fucking RMA it every month than pay less for a seashit slapped together drive that barely even spins up
>>58803636
Feel free to take a shit on Seagate if you like, but this part still stands:

Toxic snobbery
Boring articles about patches to software
"In crowd" that downvotes and upvotes based on username
Such a rancid echo chamber. Every single poster was a hosed up low tier programmer or networking rat.
It was the Hacker News of its time from 1998-2004. Then everyone with a clue migrated to Digg, leaving only sanctimonious turbo-autists suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect (much like HN's comment section today).
So what is the site that all the l33t hackers use these days?

There were e-readers that were able to do 10 FPS and do color videos 6 years ago. WHAT THE FUCK WE'RE STILL ON THIS BLACK AND WHITE SHIT ON TINY SCREENS. I'LL DISH OUT $500 FOR PIC RELATED
I'm sick of using my goddamn tablet to read shit. It's far more pleasant to look at static text on e-ink than an LCD no matter what. Why is it so hard to put a 10" color e-ink display with modern specs in 2017? Fuck you hipsters and your childish love of paper. I can't buy wikipedia in book form you fucking imbeciles.
>>58803448
>4096 colors
No thanks.
ACeP might be usable at 32k colors but that isn't expected on the market for another year or so.
>>58803503
we lived through 65k colors on our old phones less than 10 years ago. Shouldn't be an issue.

Is there something I can do on the software level to make front and back output the same 2.0 stereo signal without surround stuff?
>>58803235
I got this, but I have no idea what I'm looking at.
>>58803235
Yeah just create a dummy sink with pactl then send it to both sound cards at the same time.
This kind of stuff is why pulse audio created

Any solutions on windows?
What is the best antennae orientation for these two here?
The router is at the top floor of the house, the wifi adapter is in the basement.
How should the antennas on each be oriented?
V or W shape. Signal spreads like an umbrella, only one antenna is used at a time per device (the strongest one), so having the side ones slightly turned covers more.
Wi-Fi adapter is best a pci-e adapter with magnetic antenna stands and placing the antenna high as possible.
>>58803208
90 degrees to each other, or if the routers has beamforming, it dont mater
>>58803317
Oh, I think they do. Good to know.
Do you ever write like 15 or 20 lines of substantial code and later realize you could have done the same thing in 3 or 4? Or am I just a brainlet.

You get better with practice
you are now aware that literally every program can be rewritten as one line of Perl

It has less to do with coding I think and more to do with logic, I've been programming for years.
Programming is a terrible profession. For one, you are not respected at any normal company. You're known as 'IT' or 'tech' and everyone gossips about how disgusting everyone is in the department. Every day, some Alpha who probably does nothing at his job except get his secretary to suck his dick in his corner office cucks you into doing random bitch work, and then yells at you when it's not done by the deadline despite it being impossible to complete the work requested. Not only that, the code rarely works, your co-workers are smelly Indians brought in by Tata Consultancy and connive to replace your job at all times for half the salary, and the work never, ever ends. You pollute your body with sugar and toxins, deprive it of sleep, and let it rot while you sit the majority of the day, neglecting any healthy exercise, social interaction or life goal attainment. It's like a Postal worker, but coupled with feelings of patheticness, lonliness, helplessness, rage and total hopelessness.
Women, when they hear you are a programmer, instantly remove you from the potential pool of mates as they know your earning potential is maxed early and your career over at 35. They are also instantly disgusted by you. It is far better to tell a woman you are on welfare than to out yourself as a computer programmer. It's also highly embarrassing for a woman to date or be married to a programmer, as virtually everyone knows they are the grown up version of the hopeless virgin in high school. One who never really grew up and became normal and fit into society, but rather found an environment where he could escape the reality of his situation and be invisible, able to hide the toxic shame and utter humiliation that is the programmer.
After Dentists, programmers have the highest rates of mental disorders, especially depression and suicide.
Programmers, why haven't you taken the cyanide pill?

How is this acceptable? Did a fucking intern code iTunes? This shit is unbelievable. There's no reason copying songs to a device should be this god damn hard.
