Humanity's on the edge of nuclear war, yet you've collected an abundance of documents, maps, and data to help you survive the apocalypse. Assuming its far too much information to store in books and that there is a high pissibility of most electronics being fried, how do you go about storing your different files in order to allow the most compatibility with whatever working hardware you find? Think filetypes and storage media

Keep them on magnetic tape drivers and store them in a bunker with a mainframe to read and access them en mass that can be repaired with abundant parts.
Why are there literally no 7" Tablets anymore? It's the perfect format for a tablet desu.
Perfect for reading mangos and watching animus on the go or in bed as your hands will never tire.
Also way better for 'gayming' than 10-inchers as you can actually reach almost anypoint on the display comfortably with both hands.

Fuck no. 9 american centimeters+ or bust.

I do miss my Nexus 7 but the market obviously wanted larger tablets, hence 9 and 12 inch ones everywhere.

What purpose if most of phones are 5.5" - 6"
Post your component list, rate other anons', ask questions in general.
Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price or to improve specs or build quality.

Unless they're listing the exact compinent, always expect to find the cheapest possible option that still fits the desired model name in a prebuilt.
You could get an i7 that's not unlocked, a non-overclocking motherboard, 16 GB of RAM, a basic 1080 and the two drives along with a power supply for $1200. Are you willing to spend 700 extra just for a case and Windows 10?

Daily reminder that there are people on this board RIGHT NOW that aren't using the ONLY major distro doesn't use a buggy, insecure display server by default.
Why haven't you installed Fedora anon? Do you want unauthorized programs to listen to your terminal window's keypresses as you type your root password? Do you like screen tearing? Do you like your display server to be slow and unresponsive?

I could do with a little help Mr Chan.
I've posted here a couple of times over previous weeks unfortunately not recently due to computer issues.
Long story short, I am a lowly /b/tard trying to ram (ram not RAM) all the goodies into my comp with little to fuck all experience.
I now have all the components individually bought and attempted to ram them all in a midi case.
General success, although the system was unstable.
So a full size case was purchased... Along with a new water cooler... as you do, do.
But now I can't get a picture on the screen ;(
Purchased a new GTX950 today thinking it may help.
No help :,(
Any advice on what is causing my lack of screen.
Using old GPU and same TV with components to bodge together my old rig so a 2nd faulty GPU and faulty monitor are ruled out.
Any ideas Mr Chan?
Help me please?
Why RAM slot empty?
>>57822207
Of course it's not empty...
16 GB of Vengeance in there.
I would recommend life decisions (FYI. KYS) but I fell into the same trap before I posted this.
I want to assemble a dedicated home file/media server with some form of disk redundancy. Since I have an old PC, I plan to convert it into a NAS or a simple file server. After reading a bunch of different articles online, I still have a few unanswered questions. Hoping /g/ can clear up some things for me.
As I understand it, there are:
1. hardware RAIDs (using dedicated controller cards and drivers)
2. fakeRAIDs (where you plug your drives directly into the mobo or PCI-E SATA expansion slots and use onboard RAID controller/allocate RAID through BIOS)
3. software RAIDs (also plug drives directly into mobo or any PCI-E expansion slots, but use the operating system to created spanned volumes with the drives)
The commonly touted advantages of hardware RAIDs are the speed, and that the array is seen as a single volume by the OS such that if the motherboard dies you can still transplant the RAID to a PC with different hardware and recover your data (without having to find and buy the same model mobo). But if your RAID controller card dies, you still have to replace that.
fakeRAIDs are said to be bad because the onboard RAID controllers are slower, more prone to failure, you will need to replace your motherboard with the exact same model to recover your RAID if it dies. You cannot monitor the health of disks in the RAID.
Software RAIDs are said to be better than fakeRAIDs and not as good as hardware RAIDs because you can still recover your data apparently if everything apart from the drives failing - can someone explain how this is possible? As I see it, the array is still plugged into the motherboard and relies on the current processor and operating system. If I create a spanned volume through windows with my drives and the rest of my computer dies, will my spanned volume (across several disks) really persist when plugged into a completely new computer? Somehow this sounds wrong.

Aside from just a file server running regular windows, I am also looking into the possibility of assembling a freeNAS machine.
Is the redundant array created through freeNAS considered to be a fakeRAID or a software RAID? Some of the DIY NAS builds I've seen don't bother with a dedicated RAID controller card, so they can't be a hardware RAID. Also, how is freeNAS able to recover your RAID if some or all parts of your NAS and even the drive hosting freeNAS (except for the storage drives themselves) die? Or is it even possible, without again having to buy the exact same motherboard that the drives were originally plugged into?
My old PC I am planning to convert to a file server/NAS is a full tower Antec 900 with a M4A79XTD EVO motherboard (7 SATAII 3Gb/s slots). It already has a spare W7 license though if I go with freeNAS this won't be necessary. I'm planning to install an SSD hosting the operating system or a thumb drive hosting freeNAS, then install 6 WD Reds for storage. Even though the drives will be SATA III (6Gb/s) I'm told using SATA II slots won't matter as in home network limited to 1GbE the theoretical transfer speed limits won't even get close to being reached.
My last question is, if I wanted to increase my storage capacity and install a dedicated SATA or RAID controller card to the PCI-E slot on top, will I be able to merge both the drives plugged directly into my motherboard and the ones plugged into the dedicated card into a single RAID? Something tells me this isn't possible as they will be using two different controllers/drivers, or that even if it is possible it just increases the likelihood the RAID will fail from fault from either the mobo or the card.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hardware RAID once was faster than software RAID, back when CPUs and I/O buses were much slower. The difference is negligible now.
The drive-transplant advantage goes to software RAID, actually. With hardware RAID you generally have to find a controller of the exact same model (and possibly the exact same firmware revision) to be able to rebuild the array in another machine if the controller fails. With software RAID you can rebuild the array on any computer running a similar OS that has enough SATA ports to talk to all the drives. Regardless of what controllers or kinds of controllers those ports come from.
Software RAID is also better in the event of actually needing the RAID's redundancy. Will your hardware RAID card notify you when a drive dies and needs to be replaced? If so, how? Do you have documentation on how to direct it to replace a drive and resilver onto it? These are all much simpler for software RAID.
Software RAID also makes expandability easier. Plug more drives in, using any available SATA ports, and you can add them to the array. (If you use ZFS there are some gotchas, since ZFS can't remove a vdev once you've added it, but Linux mdadm can handle this fine. As does btrfs, but btrfs RAID6 is still broken, you're limited to RAID1)
tldr, no, you don't want hardware RAID.
with 7200rpm harddrives is raid10 needed or would raid1 suffice for torrenting with 1 Gbps (125MB/s) download?
obviously torrenting free as in freedom linux distros
I got banned from a small forum a few years ago and would really like to return. My IP has definitely changed at least a couple times since then but I have no idea if they can still detect me.
I've also received a new modem since then, so should I also have a new MAC address?
>>57821592
They can detect you based on coockies and your browsers finger prints.
>>57821637
I'm using Chrome now, back then I was using Firefox, though.
