Seems pretty boring when you get so much resource to work with.

Hi /g/
I want to buy an SSD during this sale season, preferably between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I just want to put my OS and some other programs in it.
It's my first time dealing with this solid state shit, is there any /g/-approved brand? Are Samsung SSDs a meme like all Samsung products?
Lurk more, faggot.
>2016
>no SSD
Get the fuck out pleb
>>57631618
Samsung EVO are great, and Kingston as well, just make sure to read the reviews on some of the Kingstons because I believe they switched nand's on a few models and performance went to shit so as long as you stay away from those you'll be fine.

Where would you look to find old servers/technology that the owners are trying to get rid of?
I've been using an old POS desktop for a personal server and i'm looking for upgrade.
pic unrelated
shameless bump for old tech
Behind company buildings
>>57631735
what kind of places would you recommend? i'm assuming that wouldn't be a very frequent thing in most cases
'm considering calling up local ISP's, the mom-and-pops kind, seeing if they have any junk they're trying to get rid of. waste of time or nah?
Is there a clear winner among these?
Protonmail
>>57631622
Too expensive
>>57631598

I tried Red Hat, Suse, and Mandrake on the desktop. If something didn't work, I had nowhere to turn to understand and fix the problem. Not so with Gentoo. Why do you think it is that so many users of other distros are coming here to get their questions answered? This is not a raw coincidence. It is because so many people here have the answers, and a good percentage of them have the answers because they have learned from the experience of working hands-on with source-code, patches, kernel config, drive-layout, and the numerous text-files in /etc.

new OP sucks
please help. can someone test the latest GOG version of Terraria and see if it works for them. I'm getting a "Terraria file not found" error, despite the file being there. Could it be a dependency issue? How do I find out which dependencies a non-free videogame has?
>cloud dot mail dot ru dot public/CJTo/oHHWZ7PZF
If it does, can you state which distribution you're using if that matters?
>he hasn't installed gentoo on his phone

Virtualbox or Dualboot.
Forced to use windows but would like to run Mint/Ubuntu/Elementary
Dualboot for native performance. Virtualbox for the lulz.
>>57631299
qemu
>>57631299
If you want a normie distro install deepin.
And about dualboot or VM.... if you need to use resource heavy things dualboot.
Are those gaming seats worth it or are they just a meme?
I'm spending almost all my waking hours at the computer, never had a chair that I could call comfy. Should I give those a try?
>>57631235
Just a meme. Get a decent high back chair
>>57631235
>gaming seats
They really will slap "gamer" onto the front of any old shit, won't they?
>>57631254
Yes

palemoon? It works great on my old laptop
I installed pic related and tried to uninstll it becuse it was using over 40% of cpu, when i turn on the pc its is still running and i need to manual end the task, how do i fully uninstll it?
>>57631215
backup
format
reinstall
>>57631215
If you ticked the "Immunize after restart" then you have to reinstall it, leave that unticked & then uninstall it.
Also I don't think that Spybot is using your CPU since it doesn't run as a service once you "immunize" your PC.
Next time just Google it you fucking cuck, also read the fucking sticky.
>>57631243
It uses 30-50% on my a10 7850k

Op here; oh it was just that?
Thanks.
What are the most basic programming skills needed to land a job?
Would you need a meme qualification from community college or open university? Would employers be satisfied if you uploaded a bunch of your work to github proving you understand a language? What are the most marketable skills and what sort of level would you have to get to?
>>57631155
Work experience
Proper degree
Good portfolio
>>57631168
I don't have any work experience and there is not chance of me going to university.
I was thinking there might be a demand for low-tier web developers or something.
>>57631155
To land a job you need experience and to know what the hell you're doing.
Is everyone on /g/ a genius?
I come here occasionally for my basic normie tech questions, and every fucking thread seems absurdly complex, and basically I don't understand any of it.
Am I just really stupid or are you all really smart?
We have vast knowledge over limited amounts of topics.
