Because it takes courage Edition
The pencil charging is really one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. It never loses it's impact of, "wtf were they thinking"

>Con Kolivas, a former Linux kernel developer, compared some Windows kernel code to Linux code and was surprised at the difference in code quality
>The summary of my impression [after reading the Windows code] was that I was... surprised....the [Windows] code, as I saw it, was neat. Real neat. Extremely neat. In fact, I found it painful to read after a while. It was so neatly laid out that I found myself admiring it. It seems to have been built like an aircraft. It has everything that opens and shuts, has code for just about everything I've ever seen considered on a scheduler, and it's all neatly laid out in clean code and even comments. It also appears to have been coded with an awful lot of effort to ensure it's robust and measurable, with checking and tracing elements at every corner. I started to feel a little embarrassed by what we have as our own [Linux] kernel. The more I looked at the [Windows] code, the more it felt like it pretty much did everything the Linux kernel has been trying to do for ages. Not only that, but it's built like an aircraft, whereas ours looks like a garage job with duct tape by comparison....[Windows] looks like an excellent design for a completely different purpose. It's built like a commercial design for commercial purposes that have very different requirements than what most of us use Linux for, but it does appear to have been done so very well.

lel. It also costs 300+ sheckels and is actively funded.

Lincucks blown the fuck out
Can you provide the source code for the Windows kernel so that I can compare it to Linux?
Im moving to a country that has 220v and i want to use this appliance(110v 1800W). Will this converter work with it, if it doesn't what should i use?

No, because you need a step-down voltage transformer rated to at least 3600W. A simple wall adapter won't do.
sup, /g/. I work as the fucking IT boy to some shit-tier small company and I just got this 7520. it has a 32gb ssd and a 1tb hdd. since the customer somehow managed to fuck it all up I had to format it. she's a fucking 60 year old and probably can't even into disk management. I need to install the operating system on the SSD and set the HDD as the default disk for installing applications and user files. How do I do that?
>>58075704
btw the os is 8.1 pro
bumpan'
>>58075704
don't do that you idiot 32gb is not large enough, that shit is meant for the intel speed boost technology crap where the ssd is a giant cache for the hdd

How long do external hard drives and SSDs survive ( not lose data) without power after being used daily for a couple of months?
Are two years too much?
Is my SSD rip?
>>58075535
Probably not but I'd never put valuable data on an SSD for cold storage
>>58075551
Only had my operating system on it and some movies, it's outside the case sitting on a shelf ( not dusty tho)
Is it safe to assume it won't boot?
And how about the external hard drive? It's about 5 years old and has some important data on it, i rarely plug it to a computer, could it also lose data?
There are horror stories about SSDs beginning to lose shit after just a fortnight without power.
I can't confirm that obviously but if I were you, anything critical would be backed up to something else, maybe even "the cloud" if it isn't sensitive.
Do you fight inaccurate technology lingo in real lfie?
Like when someone says "piracy" but they really mean "copyright infringement".
Like when someone says "photoshopped" but they really mean "manipulated".
How do you react?
Just react as you're supposed to. If they say piracy, then act surprised when they're not talking about somalians
>>58075517
Good call. Thanks.
I will do that.

hey m8's, is unity 8 NSA b8? they never removed the Amazon bother from unity 7, and they only disabled the web search results. Ubuntu is a bother.
Didn't read lol
I am looking forward to seeing what Unity 8 + Mir is like though. 18.04 fingers crossed!

Im learning a bit of visual basic in school.
Its fun and i would like to get more into programming.
But is Visual Basic even worth the effort i would put into it if i would decide to get into it deeper or should i just ditch visual basic and start with a more advanced language?
Is visual basic a useless timesink vor good to learn the basics?
Would it be to make a irc-style chatbot for teamspeak3 using visual basic?
>>58075380
>in school
>>58075380
Start with C.
>>58075380
you can do anything in VB its turing complete. But there might be easier ways in other languages that already have libraries or tools for teamspeak. Honestly learning another language isn't that hard now that you know VB, but it is an investment of time depending on how fast/slow you learn.
What speed test are you using?
Bonus points: can't rely on flash

thr only way zen will succeed is if it offers nearly the same or exactly the same performance of skylake but cheap
but I doubt their 8 core cpu will be less than $800.
zen might be a disappointment because it has been hyped up too much
>>58075279
What a dumb chart.
>>58075279
>but I doubt their 8 core cpu will be less than $800.
Dude my FX 8320 was less than 200 bucks 3.5 years ago.
>>58075279
>no less than 800
Oh how intel has jewed you. AMD has always(almost) had very good price for performance
Home Server General
Hardware / OS / Storage / Network / Internet discussion thread.
I'll start things off, I just bought this microsever N36L to replace my soapbox Dlink NAS.
What is a lightweight decent nas os, I was thinking freenas?
It has a slow cpu and 2gb ram, that I might upgrade. I wont be doing plex encoding or anything like that, but torrenting will be nice.
>>58075168
Oh neat, I might ask here about my plan for my home server then:
I want to make a home server that acts both as a router/firewall and little NAS (not heavy duty one, just want to move some hard drives off my desktop).
I was thinking putting my current router into Bridged mode and using the home server to establish and share a PPPoE connection (and handle NAT, DHCP etc).
My current plan is to get a board with a passively cooled Celeron (like an ASRock Q1900-ITX) and put FreeBSD on it. I already have experience with bare FreeBSD, ZFS and pf (my dedicated server uses it) so I think I'd be fine without the web GUIs used in FreeNAS and pfSense.
Is there any pitfall I might fall into or something that I should just outright avoid that you guys are already familiar with?

Hi /g/
Going trough my old stuff, I found two computers. One toshiba satellite l300 and one hp compaq 6715. As you can see they aren't that good. What can I do with them?
>>58075165
Sell and buy something with a proper ROI for you with that money.
Throw them into a river
