Your PFSense box may have been assigned a DHCP ip address which is different from 192.168.1.1

I'd use nmap and check for which addresses in your subnet are active to find the box.

Try "nmap -sP 192.168.1.1/24" and you should see the ip of the pfsense box.

Your going to university, price will be a definite issue.

I currently work 30-50 hours a week at a full time job on top of school and it more than pays the bills.

I'll have plenty to spend at college considering my only costs will be cost of living.

I hope you realize how loud server rackmount hardware is before sticking it in the place you sleep

I know how loud it is, I run an old Cisco ASA 5520 in my room currently.

The air540 is way smaller than that.  And server cabinets are expensive as shit.  I'd stick with using your 540 to be honest, no point in having a cabinet. 

Price isn't really an issue for me right now.

If I can keep the cost of moving my pc into a rackmount case and purchasing a cabinet under say $600, I'd be fine with it.

Was also considering - http://www.tripplite.com/server-rack-enclosure-cabinet-extra-depth-12u~SR12UB/

a rack server cabinet in your dorm room??

how huge is your dorm room?

why do you need 18U

Well, I like to keep a lot of my media local and I'm planning on running my own internal network at school and just using an ethernet in the wall with a DNSMASQ for internet.

I don't /need/ 18U, but I want something that'll accommodate maybe a 2-4u media server a 1-2u router and a 1-2u switch.

why the fuck do you have a rack cabinet in your dorm?  If you have a regular cabinet and plan on using that as your server cabinet don't that is a terrible idea.

Well, I was looking at something like this - http://www.tripplite.com/server-rack-enclosure-cabinet-extra-depth-18u~SR18UB/

They don't take up that much space, and it'll be worth it if it eliminates the footprint of my Air 540.

Hey all!

So coming this fall, I'll (hopefully) be headed off to university, hopefully somewhere in California, and I'd like to bring a version of my current gaming rig with me to my dorm, wherever I end up.

​I'm planning on picking up an Acer Predator X34 closer to June so the price can fall a tiny bit before I pick it up, but I was wondering more about how I plan on renovating my current rig.

I'm currently in a Corsair Air 540 with these parts:

Album: http://imgur.com/a/xG2Wf

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170X Gaming7

RAM: 16GB of 2400MHZ DDR4 RAM

Storage: 2x Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB (for media), 1x 1TB Samsung 850 Evo (SATA), 1x 250GB Samsung 850 Evo (SATA), 1x 500GB Samsung 850 Evo (M.2).

GPUs: 2x Nvidia GTX 980Ti (Reference Style Cards)

PSU: Corsair HX 850i

CPU: Intel Core i7 6700k Skylake

Cooler: Corsair H100i AIO Liquid Cooler

Fans: 2x Noctua 120mm LTT editions (1 extra still in package), 3x Noctua 140mm LTT editions

Case: Corsair Air 540

My plan is to move into a 4U Rackmount case, as I plan on having an 18U cabinet or something like that in my dorm room.

I've been browsing around a few sites (I'm in London, so restricted to UK shipping options) and found a few potential cases, but I want to make sure there's ample airflow without having to crank up some tiny high RPM fans that are going to make the room super noisy.

I've got the fans I'd like to use with the case, though I realize with a 4U case is at most like 170mm tall, so squeezing in 140mm fans might be tough, but here are a few cases I've found.

Case #1

Case #1

So What I'm wondering is if anyone else here has done a rackmount build before with the goal of it being somewhat quiet and not thermally dying. I'm going to have a few other rackmount servers in the 18u rack probably, so it may be a challenge, but if I put it at the bottom of the rack, the other servers and switches shouldn't cause it too much trouble. If the noise is an inevitable issue, I'll probably get a rack cabinet with sound proofing and try some unique configuration to keep the PC cool, but it's going to be an interesting project.

Does anyone have any advice or any cases they'd recommend to use for a build like this?

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Here's my lowly home network.

Just set up my SuperHub2 in Modem Mode for the first time, using it with a DNSMask to my LAN so I can use Deep Packet Inspection.

Fu**ing love Ubiquity Networks products.

Wireless clients not shown because it'd be annoying to add them all.

Because I'm on my phone ☺

but.... You used your computer to run the speedtest, right?.....

Guys, I just found an old but gold image.

Feel free to make some memes with it pls.

Well, I'm at 54 million now and I think that's where my journey will end.

My massive server cluster configuration broke somehow and I just don't have the time to go through all 8 of them, fix the issue, and fix my image

Good luck to the rest of you!~

That's why you don't import the entire database. You search it and only fetch the relevant data.

That should be very fast.

Lol, you can't search a db when it's in a .dmp format without importing the whole thing or parsing a search on a 7+ gig file while it's stored in your memory.

True, but you did just dl some files off the deep web from a hacking group's server, no?

 

I wonder if I could on my Rpi model b.  Would take ages though.  

 

Also, I did post the legit email checker from trustify above.  So, if you wanna check emails that were used without getting spam be my guest.

You couldn't. 

It took me 3.5 hours to import just the email dump which has like 4 columns and 37 million rows.

One of the other dumps has like 45 columns and is 12.9GB uncompressed on it's own.

That'd take almost 3 days to import on a FX8350, 32GB Ram, WD Red Pro server, let alone a rpi.

Yeah I've been getting emails since we covered this on the wan show. Unless there's a credit card it's basically meaningless data because there's no email verification..

Well, there is a row in the DB that says whether a user's email has been verified in the dumps I've seen.

I'll snap a pic when I'm home.

Yup, remember, even Raid 1 doesn't mean you're "backing up" your data. In raid 1, if you get a virus and you don't have logical backups on your freeNAS, that virus will be on both clones of the data. The whole purpose of having 'backup disks' in a raid is for hardware failure.

If all you need is speed, and you're okay with a little downtime to restore data when a drive fails, raid 0 and a home NAS is your golden ticket.

my 64gb one only works as 200mb no matter how many times I tried to format it

That's probably because it's been partitioned and you keep formatting the 200mb partition.

Formatting a partition doesn't make it bigger, you have to clean the partition table and initialize a new partition that takes up all available space.

Oi, pretty cool setup, me likey!

Thanks, It took a bit of convincing that it was worth it.

For a bit of more detail:

One of the 4TB drives is being used as torrent space, so active torrents go there.

I copy the completed torrent files over to one of the other 4TB drives which is mirrored to another 4TB drive, that's where my organized plex media files are stored.

The last 4TB is just for local backups. I keep a few days/weeks of backups locally, and they push to cloud backup from the server so you can backup locally, don't have to leave ur laptop/desktop running for like 12 hours, then the server does all the uploading after it gets a local copy.

A bit too pricey for me...

Huge fan, bummed I can't go.

Eh, I caved and bought a bunch.

Got 3 of the microUSB male ends and 5 of the female ends that connect to my cables.

I'm sure there's something wrong here, their website has inconsistencies all over it. If you tab over to the 'business internet' page, you get a bunch of confusing wording and such there too.

I think the major draw to chrome for me is the amazing set of tools for web developers and designers. Once MS brings that to edge, I'd happily jump ship if they show a performance increase.

Startegy? Game knowledge? Dota LoL and SC2 are way more than just motoric skill, you are not a good player because you got the motoric skills, but because of your decision making and game reading. I'm not saying NS2 being bad or what, but I strongly disagree that Dota being low skill cap. Why not you say CoD instead? I don't see why a game that is being refreshed each year is able to get big enough to become Esports.

Ignore him, dude.

He's an obvious troll.

Probably because for the majority of that time it was a Wizet game, before Nexon absorbed them and turned it into literal hell.

It became a Nexon game in 2005, it was originally developed in 2003 in tandem with both wizet and nexon.

The game had Nexon's hand in it way before it 'turned into literal hell'.

I'd say it got ruined around the 2011-2012 era.

Also, please don't use 'literal' if you mean 'figurative'.

Thanks

And even if he means 5 MB/s, that is too slow. I also get 47 Mbit, and that results in 5.8 MB/s.

5 MB/s is still within reason fora  47 Mbit connection. You don't expect to get the exact speed you see in a speedtest when downloading stuff.
