whatever happened to last thread?
I have to use windows for playing my PC games, but I would like to move from Windows to Linux for everything else.
Any tips for this? I was thinking of making a partition on my main drive for Ubuntu and dual boot with win10.
How much space does that partition need, just the specified space for the installation or more?
Is BFQ a meme?
holy shit this is retarded

Who here uses a 10Gig network in your home? Why did you build it? Has it been a worthwhile upgrade?
I built one a year ago so that my kid's and wife's computer could access the server at the same time without overloading it. Now I've stripped down my main PC, and all my storage is on the server, all my main driver has is an SSD. I run steam off the network, etc. I don't get the full 10Gig speeds, but it's like accessing a local hard disk. I don't get any latency playing off steam, and load times are only a fraction of a second longer.
so my wifes sons mothers bull can upload premium 4K 60fps BBC videos to BLACKED
>>61872899
I'm still on gbe, the cost to upgrade everything is not really worth it.
Maybe when more shit starts to come with 10gbe nics as standard i'll change.
>>61872899
sure if you can afford 10g switches, the nics and the cables. other than that plain old LACP would have done enough while being cost efficient for home usage
Which language will be used (assuming there is one) that will/does support quantum computing?
>>61872598
qantum computing is a meme
>>61872629
like your life?
>>61872598
So quantum computing is based on the phenomena that two particles that are entangled will have the same properties even when they are separated by a huge amount of distance, right? Question: how do you entangle particles?

Any oldfag here who was 20 in the 90s and can tell us how hard it is to keep up with the exponential growth of technology?
>>61872068
40 here, what do you mean by "keep up with"?
It's expected that you should progress beyond entry level code monkey/helpdesk jobs into management positions after a while in the trenches
You should of course be careful to avoid this "change is just a fad" mentality that permeates /g/, or you end up like the unemployed "IT jack of all trades" guy who railed against the cloud and smartphones and apps throughout the '00s
But respecting the fact that change happens doesn't require that you act like a hysterical 20 year old with ADHD when you're middle aged
>>61872133
This. It's intuitive.
>>61872133
Not OP, but you totally missed the point you stupid twat.

Any news regarding the integration of a newer libvpx into it?
>>61871977
I asked a guy on the Discord Server that I made about making a 64-bit build of it. Now to wait and see if one can be made by him or not.
Since I'm seeing all the hype about Nightly lately I want to switch. Before I do is there anything in about:config that I need to turn off for nightly?

>my cellphone camera makes a mechanical camera sound when i take a picture
what are these called? i mean the retrofitting of "features" from the past for the sake of familiarity
aperture
>>61871343
if you live in japan, the cellphone camera sound cannot be taken off due to the laws permitting to upskirt photos and voyeur stuff
>>61871343
i heard the japanese do/did that to prevent perverts from taking candid shots of panties, etc
Anyone using a Raspberry Pi Zero?
I have one running an emulation station and it is pretty satisfying.More project ideas from other users please?
I'm using mine for a Rubik's cube solving robot.
I've turn mine into a USB dongle
>>61871215
Damn that sounds like a fun project, is it going well?

>>61870923
The same thing happened to me with Krita. If you rotate the canvas, move some layers, then switch some tools, the whole thing crashes.
Inkscape spits out backups on crash in either your home directory or the location of the file you're editing. I haven't yet lost any amount of work due to crashes as opposed to proprietary software.

Is Accelerated C++ good?
What are some good irc channels?
>>61870687
#Firefox, the C#/.NET one, definitely NOT #Python, the Pokemon reverse engineering one. That's about it. The other ones I hang out in are pretty niche.
