I use Unix (MacOS) on a daily basis and I'm pretty familiar with it.
What do you need?

I'm experienced in bash, what do you want?
My going rate is $50/hour, billed up front.

I use Unix (iPhone) on a daily basis and I'm pretty familiar with it. What do you need?

>>57873468
In short, this is a mixture of limitations. One is in how many "address lines" the CPU itself supports (different from the 64/32-bit address space/register size), 32 lines would allow 4GiB of RAM, having a 33rd line connected would allow 8GiB of ram and so on.

The other problem is in how many of those address lines the manufacturer actually bothers to wire up to the memory controller.

In order to simplify the design the manufacturers tend to decide on a current realistic amount of memory and wire up as many address lines as are needed to support that amount of memory.

Routing all those address lines on a PCB is painstaking work as all the track lengths have to be as near identical as possible and so manufacturers will keep the amount of work as small as possible and so supporting 65TiB of RAM is nowhere near the same priority as getting the motherboard out this year.

>>57873468

The motherboard doesn't support anything more than 8.

One of your RAM sticks would be wasted if you did that

pic related is the CPU in my thinkpad

http://ark.intel.com/products/52224/Intel-Core-i5-2410M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-2_90-GHz

it says it supports 16gb

>In order to simplify the design the manufacturers tend to decide on a current realistic amount of memory and wire up as many address lines as are needed to support that amount of memory.
is there a way for me to find out if Lenovo jewed me over and make a motherboard that only supports half the amount of RAM that the CPU supports?

It's pretty high level, and the stuff about firewalls and bash scripting are covered by other books

>>57873500
How high level are we talking?

I already have a basic idea of some of the low level stuff, I'm not really looking for information on that, more just behind the scenes stuff like the kernel and system processes.

Does this book cover stuff like that? Or is it mostly just bash scripting stuff?

Bumping before I buy

>>57873436
Because gentoo didnt work for them

>>57873436

Debian, because its is stable and doens't need to be fiddled with.

Cent for something other than a server seems a bit pointless tho.

>>57873436
Because I want new packages, drivers, and bug fixes.

>bluetooth enabled SD card that would let me stream music to it from my phone
>Why hasn't this been developed yet?
Because the market for people who want to stream music to a SD card is tiny

People either load music onto a SD card if they care that much about quality, hook their phone with music on it up to the stereo, or use bluetooth in the first place

>>57873439
Yeah, I bought a new car and it doesn't have bluetooth or aux but it has two sd ports and a 6 cd changer. Adding bluetooth/aux is super expensive so I want the bluetooth sd card. If they can have wifi sd cards they can have bluetooth ones.

I WANT THIS

Oriley books are trash.
None of them are comprehensive enough to be a reference text, and most of them feel like the author was just recommending flavor of the week library shit that he enjoyed at the time of writing.

i pirated them all and directly donated $50 to charity

>>57873425
You can do that with Humble Bundle. I bought the YogsCast holiday bundle for $30 and chose to give $0 to ILGA.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

"Minimalist" is the name of the appearance, not a comment on the system draw.

You should just hang yourself instead.

They had the 2016 J7 for $90 on black friday. I got 6 and am selling them on ebay for ~$200 a piece around January.

Xperia L is damn slow even with CM so not that

Try `cmd.exe`.

I use 10, it's nice.
All my music is just sample fucking of other people's music, I only really use edison.

Best DAW for Linux-based operating systems?

>>57873367
Wine+any daw

Chatbots have good grammar and most people dont.

>>57872827
I can neither confirm or deny that.
