quite humorous. topkek/10 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/517387-a-group-of-hackers-shows-off-a-ps4-running-tweaked-linux/ Gotta say. Am much excite. @linuxfan66 where might i learn more about the inner-workings of Linux's kernel? ... like, beyond just reading it. Preferably something that will teach me what each thing does.

such a nice song

Some more Steam Games I found that I may enjoy: Knights of Pen & Paper II - Mah DND Timberman - Overwhelmingly Good Reviews for a game about chopping down 16-bit trees Grand Class Melee 2 - Arena & Class based Combat Ace Academy - VN? Gaokao.Love.100Days - Dating Simulator Those last two were chosen because they didn't have the nudity tag or notably ecchi content in their screenshots (AFAICT).

It's k. Just something to point out because it confused me. @helping; understood. Makes sense. I don't know. I take an absolute "that's a bad idea" when it has positives in some situations personally for some reason. I guess I have a narcissistic tendency? The polls are in and my lengthy posts about my life that I'm fairly sure no one cares about says "Yes. Yes you do." @Charger It is hard to entertain and play vidya games (so close to rhyming but not quite there). ... I need to listen to Starbomb's first album again. So, you basically fast forwarded through the first year(s) of the HDD's life. Since that's when most fail.

@MyInnerFred Please use MB for Megabytes and Mb for Megabits. Your post confuses me if you are meaning Megabits. 120-130 Mb/s is bad for an HDD (that's 15-16 MB/s). In regards to keeping data safe, I view price as no object, to a point (that point being reasonably higher prices for drives that are reasonably better). So I guess this is my personal gambit. This is why I get WD Reds. I don't get Pros because "moar speed" isn't necessary and isn't worth the price hike (again, balance). Uses? Not sure what you mean there. Give an example. My post or the article reads like that? This is true. But once your experience adequately doesn't reflect what the thing is telling you is true, you can discount it and go back to dice because, in that case, dice is better (since you've personally seen that the data is wrong). You could do that and the data have been right and you just personally unlucky. But that's unlikely enough to be worth the risk. If I buy WDs and they repeatedly fail on me more than that graph dictates (to the point that it's beyond chance), then I stop using the graph. If it's only within margin of error, then it may as well be no different than dice, which is not a loss. So let's split it up in terms of probability. To illustrate why I do what I do and say what I say. There are 3 possibilities. The graph is skewed positively (i.e. it's right), it's random (i.e. it's irrelevant), or it's skewed negatively (it advocates drives that will fail more than others). Let's just say, since we can't know the probabilities of said possibilities to happen, they are equal thirds of happening. If it's positively skewed, I won, because I found a resource to buy reliable drives. If it's random, I did not lose or win, because it is no different from Dice, and I have no other, better, resource to rely on. If it's negative, I lost, but I will realize this at a point and go back to Dice. So 33% chance to lose and 67% to not lose (all that matters in the end). Compared to dice, which are completely random. So the question: "Why wouldn't I use that data?" - "Because it could be wrong" isn't a valid answer imo. Risking it being wrong is worth the potential good of it being right. That's my point. This is why I consider even information that is possibly skewed to have value. It's situational (if I have something more reliable and already tested to use, I'll use that ofc) though, and in this particular situation, going with the graph is a good decision in my eyes. At least until it's proven otherwise by my own personal testing.

Yes, but in a decade+ time, a 4TB drive will be useless to me as I'll have a 4PB drive. And files will take up a lot more space to fill the drive. Why would I carry around a 4GB HDD when I have a 4GB USB drive and 4TB HDDs in my computer? Unless I'm making a crappy PC to use for some absurd reason, or something bad happens and I need it as a spare, I'm never going to use that drive again. The goal isn't to survive forever. It's to survive until obsolescence (it's not useful anymore to use even though it's working). Which means I move my data to the newer 4PB drive and everything is hunky dory. Because I never lost data. My data was never in danger. That's the goal. @helping True. But that's part of being an intelligent or conscientious consumer. Take the fact they probably bought refurbed drives into account with Seagate's numbers. They are still kinda high, even for that.

Well, that's the problem isn't it? If this data is wrong, it can be just as wrong as dice. If it's right, it can be way more right than dice. That's the gambit. If I choose to follow this data, and it's wrong, I'm fairing just as well as if I used dice. If I choose to follow this data, and it's right, I'm potentially fairing way better than just rolling dice. Because dice doesn't give you the same results every time. Following a graph does. Matters of probability. If there's something to cling to over chance, then you cling to it. Because chance can screw you over just as much as the thing can, but chance won't be as, or as often right, as the thing will if it is indeed right. You say that, but there are drives that live for a decade+.

The honest truth is that while this isn't the best scientifically done test, it's literally the best information source we have for "who's consumer hard drives are the most reliable?" If we were picking because of arbitrary reasons before, then this can just be another arbitrary reason. If it's wrong, it's just as wrong as every other arbitrary reason can be. If it's right, then yay, an arbitrary reason wasn't so arbitrary. And, of arbitrary reasons, this reason is most likely (of those reasons) to not be arbitrary.

Yeah. I'm not sure how they'd do it. Like... Maybe having a bit of code that essentially takes the image found in the link and only displays a smaller resolution of it. But then how does it do that without downloading the full image? Like, I know I've wondered about that before. When an image loads, it looks like it's in a lower resolution and it suddenly or slowly gets better. i.e. goes from pixel art to it's actual resolution. Is it doing that? Just ... preventing it from switching to full resolution til you click it while making it's display dimensions smaller until you do? ... but then it's still downloading the whole thing. Maybe it's a Javascript thing. idk. coding magic. So, I tried cloning my home Windows 10 install to USB via the WinToUSB software. This time, it isn't working. When I try and boot from it, it fails with the Win10 BSOD and the error "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DRIVE". I'm thinking the clone is too big (30GB) to do what it needs to, so I may try it again with a smaller install (gonna have to move a lot of data on my PC to my server temporarily). I'll test Two Worlds II & Valkyria Chronicles with the Black Screen/Monitor Dying issue I'm having on AMD. Then time to drop back to driver 15.7.1

http://imgur.com/gallery/Fd1Bj/ so cool ... what do you mean? You had two copies of everything, one for thumbnail and one for full res? ... but Reddit doesn't store every image. What I would do: Have LTT take the image -> make a thumbnail -> only store the thumbnail on LTT. When you click the thumbnail, it loads the full res from the website. Should be simple and not much storage (imo). A bunch of thumbnail size images can't take that up that much space, even for an entire forum (again imo).

no idea, let's ask: @Cat :^) wat do you mean regarding embedding the whole picture? If I upload a 4K picture, I don't want it expanding the forum to where I can't read anything because several lines of text with no line breaks that used to auto-format into a paragraph is now one very very long line. Clicking the image to show the full resolution is better imo. But yeah, not sure what you mean. What does LTT do vs what you would want it to do, and why? When I click images now, it opens them in some overlay window that lets me look at the image in it's full resolution, but doesn't let me do other things (like scroll down the page) without exitting it. I'd rather they be the latter of what you said (thumbnail that expands when clicked). Is that what you meant). So your mother is a fan of throwing away money...

Haven't noticed any honestly. If it has happened, it mustn't have been significant enough to corrupt a file. >snapshots ? It has a picture previewer. wat do u mean snapshots? You mean like folder hierarchy listings for archiving purposes? Naw. It just lets you look at every file in an entire structure. So say I want to see files in both /data/folder1 && /data/folder2 in the same listing without swapping and without having two windows open. I can select /data and then set it to show files in both folder1 & folder2 and not show folders themselves. Very useful. Ya, you can do that. On cmd line, it will be "tree <directory> /A /F > foo.txt" without "s ofc. That simple.

It is indeed. It hasn't survived on that specific drive that long (4TB drives weren't a thing in 2001 ofc). Went from mom's camera -> mom's laptop (years) -> sat on my desk on mom's HDD from laptop for well over a year -> stored on main PC (first evar gaming PC) (year) -> ??? (corrupted memory) (years) -> stored on spare 2.5" random HDD (year) -> 4TB Network attached HDD Some of these photos might be older. These aren't scans. These are copies from the originals (as close to an original as you can be when moving from one PC to another). Resolution on these pictures from 2003 aren't bad tho. 2800x2100 or something weird. Either the EXIF data is still there, or there's a timestamp on the image itself. Thank you based Bulk Rename Utility's "view all files in a file hierarchY" feature, plus it's "Picture Viewer" window. Edit: >looks at around 100 images >somehow, Bulk Rename Utility is suddenly using 20GB of RAM >JESUS @helping >picture of step-brother when he was 13 >wearing t-shirt that says "I'm a virgin, but this is an old t-shirt." topkek material imo

A really cool thing Google does: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=earthquake%20canada&es_th=1

If it's a consolation, I have some very old files on here (in terms of surviving so many PCs for so long with someone like me in possession of them). >Date Taken: 01/22/2001 12:52:04 AM I was 7 years old. My mom took a ton of pictures. ... i don't know. i just think some file that old on my pc is a cool thing. >Total Pictures I have: ~30,000 ... A ton.

... sorry to disappoint but i did mention earlier how I had lost lots of scanned receipts. this is what i referred to.

I honestly seriously doubt Windows 10 will ever not be available for free upgrades (or free in general). Why? Because Microsoft is no where near hitting their goal of 1 Billion devices with Windows 10 by whatever date they decided. Even at the current rate with it free. If they charge for it, and remove the free upgrade, you can kiss that goal completely goodbye. You'd be surprised how important milestones are for corporations. These are the things that get games released early and broken.

Supermicro A1SAM-2550F - $367 (CAD) Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) SODIMM ECC RAM - $180 (CAD) Silverstone Fully Modular SFX 500W Gold series PSU - $120 (CAD) Cooler Master HAF 915R M-ITX Case - $100 (CAD) Total: $767 (without tax & shipping) The motherboard has an embedded CPU. 4 cores. The RAM is ECC (important for ZFS). This is the hardware I have in my server. If you wish to go cheaper, you don't need a gold series PSU. No one does. I just prefer higher quality and those usually are that. An SFX (Small Form Factor) PSU in an M-ITX case is preferred. Fully modular is nice especially. Pick whatever you trust. The case is just what I went with. Go with whatever you prefer. I like that case a lot. It was nice to me. 16GB RAM is preferred with how much storage you are going to be using. I definitely wouldn't downgrade on it. I would say 4 cores is fine for 3-4 plugins. There's an 8 core version of that motherboard though. ASRock C2750D4I - $510 (CAD) Very large price difference tho. Note: There is an 8 core version of the Supermicro board (A1SAM-2750F), and a 4 core version of the ASRock board (C2550D4I). They just aren't available at NCIX in Canada.

You'd add the directory between tree and /A. @helping One not nice thing about it is that it doesn't list items sorted by name. So here's an example output: +---Now and Then, Here and There | \---Season 01 | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E12.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E03.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E04.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E13.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E05.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E02.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E01.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E06.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E08.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E10.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E09.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E07.mkv | Now and Then, Here and There - S01E11.mkv See the issue? Not a big deal. Just a thang.

So I just found out the Financial PDFs I'd scanned are A-OK on my server. HUZZAH. I would share my foo.txt of my server (the one I just made via tree /A /F), but I feel that's self-incriminating (could be piracy, could be cheating on my taxes, could be wtv as far as u guys no). 7.5MB file (kinda big for a file hierarchy when you think about it). Took like 10-15 minutes to make (this included backups of OS which include Steam games, plex server, old OS transfers, etc). I love this command. Will never forget. Going through the foo.txt to delete things I don't care to archive (the steam games for example). This is a super easy way to list your Skyrim mods if they are named appropriately. >listening to "Tips from the Server room" a Network Administrator pod cast over Network monitoring tools >hear about a free software from Cisco called Network Assistant

Well at least one ISP isn't a dill-weed about internet speed.
