Hey guys... What is a RAID array and how do I set one up? Is it something that comes with the hardware? Or is it some way of setting it up with software? Do you need multiple disks?
Why do you want one if you dont know what it is?
>>57947215
For redundancy, I know it can make data safer. I don't know how
So google it. There are many videos and articles that explain it really well
What are you getting for Christmas /g/?

uBlock Origin Edge extension now on MS store.

I know this aint a Python board but I figured you guys should be able to solve this as well.
I am trying to build a code that downloads all PDF files from a given website for me. Searching off google, I found this:
(it's a pastebin url) /ABxnkqA7
It seemed to work for a lot of people, but the only thing I am getting are errors.
Can anyone help with this? I am kinda new to programming..
Just use wget, curl and a bit of regexp.
>>57947081
Thanks a lot, will try.
But it would still be nice to know what's wrong with the code tho.
>>57946887
>but the only thing I am getting are errors.
The errors you have shown are non-existing. Just try again. The errors are seemingly not real, I have not seen any.
>Lifetime PureVPN subscription is $69 right now
Is PureVPN any good, /g/entoomen? That deal seems to be too good to be true, I'm kinda suspicious.
I use it. It's okay..

they are desperate as fuck if they are doing this lol
Thinking about upgrading to an 802.11ac router. I'll need backwards compatibility with g/n for old devices, so it must be dual-band. I don't intend to do any gaming over the wifi.
Is the Netgear AC1750 R6400 a good one? Would it be worth it to get the Nighthawk version (R6700) instead?
https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R6400.aspx
https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R6700.aspx
Oh, also. I know there's the circulated image about which computer parts to buy. Does that include routers yet?
Running a trendnet ac3200 that has plenty of room wired/wireless for the 15 devices in my house.
Might want to rethink those.
https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/582384
They haven't mentioned the R6700 specifically, but it potentially has the same issue.

HST? Didn't see one. I'm making one since I need some /g/ advice.
I have a DL380 G7, 144GB RAM, 2x X5680's.
It's great for running my servers and doing development on, but fairly unusable for home media server. Looking at the market, I today have these options:
>HP MSA60 with 8 3.5'' bays
>400USD + shipping
Comes with all the caddies and whatnot.
>Supermicro Server with 8 3.5'' bays
>350 USD + shipping
Comes wtih all caddies, but also 2x E5606 processors and 24GB RAM.
Any reason I wouldn't go with the supermicro server? I have some large hard drives I'll put in a RAID5 setup. I also conveniently have a spare P800 RAID controller.
>>57946689
>Wasting Energy: The Thread
>>57947129
Also having fun: the thread.
I don't have enough money to afford hardware for a home server, so I've been using old laptops.
They're made not to use too much energy, and when there's a power outage, I don't need an UPS: their batteries will be charged, and last at least half an hour, even if they're crap.
I connected one of my mom's old Vaio's to her TV and installed Arch on it. So she could use it, I installed GNOME, which is quite slow on that laptop. Sometimes it'll have hiccups, as in suddenly everything stops for a split second, then comes back to normal. I still don't understand why. Alas, I'm torrenting TV series she likes through it and she knows how to watch them.
On her old as fuck(512 MB of RAM) Mexican laptop, I also installed Arch. It's quite useless to me given not only it's a very weak Celeron, it also has the performance hiccups. Its hiccups last at least 5 seconds everytime, though.
One thing I can't use them for is network storage: I could only get around 1 MB/s off the Vaio, and didn't even want to try the oldie. I assume the bottleneck is the NIC, since I'm able to download stuff off the net at around 9 MB/s.
I'm going to try my former laptop, which will stay in my room. Even if I can't use it for network storage, I can at least use it for animu.

Now the LG V20 is also bootlooping.
bravo LG.

>>57946514
Unsure if it's different to LG's N5X, as with those it actually boots the image... then crashes
this looks like the image is bad
but I really cannot tell, took me days to understand the problem with my 5x, just a video is not enough for me
LG is shit
My G4 started boot looping. Talked to a pajeet from customer support, sent it in for repair. Got it back no longer boot looping but shutting off on its own at random times. Talked to pajeet again, sent in again. Got back still fucking turning itself off. Told pajeet I wanted my money back, he said to send it in again and he'd raise the issue with execs and get back to me. Haven't sent it in while I look for a new phone, haven't heard shit from execs yet
