quite an odd thing for deadmau5 to put out considering there is nothing reminicent of the standard house/electro house fare we have known from him, instead he has published this more experimental, ambiance style of music, Which I have been listening a lot of and I personally think it's great, quite relaxing

A lower BER means less of a chance of having a RAID require a rebuild due to an un
Hi guys.
Well, life is changing (kinda). I have multiple job opportunities to strive for before me. Here they are:
On my LinkedIn page (which my current employer requires we all have for business relations reasons), another IT firm/thing has sent me a message about being interested in hiring me. While this sounds cool, I've never heard of them. They are a little over an hour away, and I know nothing about any of that (their location, the people there, etc.)
However, they have it on their
here's an awesome website which collected all the free songs, EP's, and Albums that Aleksander Vinter has put out to the public.

enjoy, made my 'Savant' folder nearly 5GB :D
In traditional RAID setups, the data is spread out across all drives in the RAID array. If you were running RAID 5 with six drives, for example you would have five drives worth of storage space, with the missing space being for parity data. If you lose one drive, you haven't yet lost all your data. Throw in a new drive, and rebuild your RAID array (and pray you don't run into an unrecoverable read error or silent corruption, because then you can kiss your data good-bye).
This has obvious advant
Every good system boils down to the network. This is the underlying foundation for your entire setup. If this isn't rock solid and supports everything you need to do, it doesn't matter how fast that rig of yours is, you will still lag as your switch drops packets due to a network flood.
Most people seem to think when they need one, the thirty dollar switch is just a good as the fifty dollar one. Most cases they are correct, when you only have a few connections not
So, many people have asked about the Whale's Place - what hardware, how many PC's, where does it all come from... In this section I will work to describe my various systems builds (or link to my builds already on the forum), upcoming plans, my network layout, etc... I tell you, running CAT6 in coral is a pain in the butt...
To generalize, I have a enterprise grade firewall, three redundant GB switches, high end wireless N and some powerline gear running as the cor
Start by reading this technical post from CloudFlare.
UDP itself has uses, but the 'monlist' command in the Network Time Protocol is entirely useless. It was probably a "feature" some genius programmer thought they'd need but didn't, and it just got left in the code base.
In proper software design, the majority of development strategies will prevent you from having code in your codebase that isn't used. If programmers for the NTP codebase had been developing code properly, this command would n
Is it so much of a problem for people when trying to buy computer parts? My last purchase for a part was approximately a year ago and it's already been good. However, now that I'm nearly complete with my build, only one parts remains: THE GPU
This thing that I have (GT 610) has been the worst thing I ever thought was a good idea. Now here's when the real problem sets in...
Windforce R9 290 for approximately $417 or EVGA 780 Classified for around $550 or $570

There is a quote that I live by that sometimes ca seriously save you in some tough situations:
"Sometimes, we must make necessary evils to come to an ultimate good."
It means that we must sadly make decisions that we don't wanna take sometimes that will actually benefit us in the future. Some countries, as you can see, kinda live by this in some cases. But not how I follow by it.
What do you see in the quote? Do you have anything that you live by?
During my lunch break today, I wrote this MATLAB function:
function [rate] = greedy( balance, periods, profit)
% greedy Takes in a numerical balance, an integer number of periods, and
% the desired profit to be made from the loan holder. Returns the optimal
% APR in decimal form (i.e. 3.94% = .0394)
payment = (profit + balance)/periods;
syms x
fun = 0;
for i = 0:periods-1
fun = fun - payment*(1+x/12)^i;
end
fun = fun + balance*(1+x/12)^periods;
solns= double(solve(fun == 0, x));

Huh.
So, I had this disturbing revelation. I wish there were a better way to share it with others, because it's hard to explain how everything connects for me. I guess I'll try and start at the beginning.
One thing you may or may not know about me is that I don't like this world. Not at all. When I was young, I could see that my dreams could never be real in it. Because of this, I usually went to media like video games and anime because they didn't have the limitations this world does.
As I'
