Is it profitable to host game servers from home for others?
Let's say you have a good Internet connection and all that.
In theory, would it be possible to make at least some profit off running game servers from others on a server box off your home Internet connection?
>>152781
samefag, made a typo, meant:
for others *
Depends where you're expecting to make profits from, and what you consider 'profit'?
I rented a cheapo Linux VPS (like $3/mo) and hosted a 12-slot Gmod server. It was monetized with adsense which easily made up for the server costs. Adding in player donations made it minorly profitable.
Although, if you're using a big ISP, you're more than likely not allowed to run a game server off your home connection.

I basically want to set up game servers and rent them to others. In other words, I want to run a micro hosting company from my home.
could an amazing Anon help me out?
it's my friends birthday in a week, and he's joker mad, so I wanted to print a custom image onto a cake for him but I'm photoshop handicapped. :(
The idea was putting the cake on the table, here's the two pictures, and a huge THANK YOU to the Anon kind enough to oblige me :) :)
(not a lie)
>>152769
Thank you :) :) :)
I don't suppose it's also possible to have the vault boy from fallout looking through one of the mirrors in the back?
I did try but I couldn't get the angle right :(
So I have Mozilla's settings changed so I browse with manual proxy
and I search by using web-based proxy (ninja proxy).
Should this be enough to keep my search results away from my ISP,
or should I add more layers of protection so that there is no way for my results to be seen?
Cmon guys, please.
>Should this be enough to keep my search results away from my ISP,
if you really need to know, no.
>>152762

how can i convert a virtual machine from vmware to a phyical pc? enlighten me /wsr/ !
https://www.google.com/search?q=vmware&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=transfer+virtual+machine+to+physical
>>152712
let me rephrase my request then. any easier way than those?
i install a partition backup program into the vm, run a backup, saving the image file on a usb drive. then restore the backup from the image file onto a actual hard drive (use a program that can be booted from a usb or cd/dvd drive).
hey /wsr/, I built a PC just an hour ago
Everything is going great. Installed Windows for free easily, drivers are all updated with no hassle thanks to usb+other computer, but then there's one thing in my way: I need to connect wirelessly (because reasons) and I am only given the option to go with ethernet
As much as I want to be wired, I cannot due to physical limitations of my surroundings atm. My question is this: how do I switch my way of connecting to the internet from wired to wireless? I might be able to build a computer and know hardware stuff, but I hardly know much about internet connections (I'm only a newbie). Thanks in advance

do you have a pci wifi card/usb wifi adapter? only some motherboards come with wifi out of the box, most notably m-itx boards. if you do not have a pci wifi card or usb adapter, you cant use wifi.
My mobo is pic related. I just checked their site and I guess it doesn't
Time to go back to the store and buy that. Thanks for the info anon-kun
>>152658
not op but is PCI better or worse than the usb ones? I found a usb that came with an extension cable
Is there anything wrong with/not optimal about this build?
>>152649
You planning on overclocking?
If you're not then there is no need for an aftermarket CPU cooler.
Again, if you're not, get the next best non-K CPU.
Also 750W 80 PLUS GOLD seems a little overkill for that card. You can get away with 600W, possibly even a good 500W PSU.
Unless of course you plan on doing SLI in the future, I suppose.
>>152650
Not planning on overclocking, just want to be able to play most games at max settings. I put the CPU heatsink in there just because my current CPU has a heatsink, and I chose 750w just to be safe, but it does seem a bit overkill
>>152654
If you're not overclocking then the heatsink that comes with the CPU will do just fine.
Unless you're one of those people that wants their PC to be dead silent, afaik stock heatsinks are louder than aftermarket, but I have never cared about this so I can't say.
You also might want to throw in at least a 240GB SSD to install your OS on? The bigger the better, but I think 240 is a good minimum these days.
Other than that imo there isn't really anything wrong with your build.
If you're going to stick with the stock heatsink, you also won't need the thermal compound, they come with thermal compound pre-applied.
Requesting a photoshop of a johncena shirt and hat also some lipstick would be great also I wanna spam my friend with it .Because he ate all my nachos.

Thank you so much

Thanks for the added Nacho feature Lol
Hey guys
So yesterday i got a new battery for my Toshiba Satellite L505D - GS6000 to try and fix a problem with it since it turns on (Fan, LED Lights) but won't boot up (like go to desktop/log into a user) it just displays a black screen
It did work earlier today but it overheated and crashed whilst playing a game on Steam and I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it on again
Desperate bump
Well since overheating can cause damage - maybe it caused a crucial component to die.
If the hard drive light is flashing (accessing hard drive) when you turn it on, it would be interesting to hook up an external monitor to see if the laptop display is bad.
If the hard drive is not being accessed, you might have a bad motherboard.
Hard drive might be ok, as you should at least see a BIOS screen, even with no hard drive.
Can you guys give me some suggestions on movies, please?

Does anyone know where I can download the 24 bit/192 kHz versions of the Evangelion soundtracks? I want them for the better mastering, not the fact that it's 192kHz.

>>152615
Not what I was looking for, but thanks for looking!
I've been looking for a simple comic I saw a while back picture of a Chinese dragon. I've tried searching for it a bit, and so far I've come up empty handed. Here's a description of it, one panel at a time:

>it trips over something

Hey guys, I need some serious help. I'm in the process of taking my GED. I've already passed reading, science and social studies. I take the math portion tomorrow. My absolute worst subject. I'm extremely nervous. I just never got math. Any study guide links with the basic order of operations and shit I can write down to take with me in the testing area tomorrow. Or tips on how to logically guess the right answer by singling out obvious wrong answers. Please halppp. I'm almost successful. Pic for attention
>>152568
They let you use a calculator senpai
They also give you all the formulas you need. Just learn which you need to use.
>>152568
>21+ years old
>still hasn't learned math
Are you retarded? Does your mommy still dress you too? Just fucking learn math already, there's no excuse for being bad at basic math except for laziness.
>>152568
>how to logically guess the right answer by singling out obvious wrong answers.
There aren't obvious wrong answers. Each wrong answer is the right answer, but with a single error in its working.
For a greatly-simplified example,
1-3*4+2=
a) -9 (correct)
b) -12 (thought multiplication came last)
c) -6 (just went left-to-right)
d) -17 (thought subtraction came last)
