I recently got an old vista machine from my parents who upgraded. I thought about turning it into a cheap NAS box. I started looking around and I found that you can get Dell Perc 5is on Ebay for like $10 - $15. is there some kind of reason I shouldn't get this card and use it for raid 5? there has to be some kind of catch with this card for it to be so cheap. There are several listed on eBay for around $10 - $15, so it doesn't seem to be just one guy offloading dead cards.

I was doing a bit of research after I heard the news to see what other things google and amazon had both bought and what happened to them after, and I stumbled upon this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Google I was really interested to see all the different companies google bought, and how most of them got "combined" into google services. As much as I like google, Its interesting to wonder if had google bought twitch, if they would have shut it down and combined it with youtube live.

My personal suggestion, again only a suggestion, but I think it would be cool for him to unbox the product on camera and give his first impressions, then cut to his usual product review after he does his in depth look at the product. That way its a bit of a "best of both worlds" kind of deal. I just miss that whole open the product and talk about the foam commentary from Linus, haha

LinusTech, Can you PLEASE do some more unboxings, I'm really starting to miss them. I get that you're doing a lot of new content and trying out some new things, but I originally watched you for unboxings, and I miss the experience quite a bit. I also don't want to be that guy (lol) but I feel like you're slightly loosing track of your roots. I mean I really do get the whole situation you're in, branching off and starting your own media company and all that jazz. You need to make income somewhere and I get that, and I can only imagine how difficult it is to start a company in an area as unique as technology videos, but a lot of your videos lately have felt like product ads and don't seem the have the enthusiasm you used to have when opening up a product. I mean I can sit and give you my opinions all day, but the direction you go is ultimately up to you. I just wanted to voice my opinion after your WAN show comment that you haven't done an unboxing and nobody seems to care, I have personally noticed and do care.

I'd love to, but I live in the US, and up until last week I didn't know using signatures for authentication on credit cards wasn't the norm, because it is here. I think its going to be a fair amount of years until we get contactless debit cards here in the states

Hey Linus, I'd be interested in you doing some coverage of the Coin credit card replacement. I'm extremely interested in the product, but I'm not really sure about buying one because I have some quality and security concerns about it. I was wondering if you'd be willing to pick one up and use it for like 30 days and give us feedback on your experience with it. I think digital wallets are the future of transactions, and this could be the first step into that transition for many people

Audio is out of sync on the Youtube video. It was also out of sync on the live show

haha that is the exact opposite of what I want to do. 1 internet connection with 2 networks. Thanks for trying to find something though. The effort was not lost on me

The problem with that is you can't put a switch between a modem and a router. That would be the best setup, but unfortunately its just not able to be done. The modem sends out one external ip, and a switch basically just adds spots for computers to connect to. What would happen is the 2 routers would be fighting over who got the 1 ip. When you put a switch after a router, the switch says there are extra things here, so we need 4,8,16 etc more ip's. The modem only gives one out

Its not though. I can't even access the web configurer on the PFsense box. I know it can be done because I had to do it for my final in my network class, but I can't for the life of me remember how it was done. I mean its the same as having 2 networks on one router, except all traffic from the second network is being managed by a second router. 2 DHCPs, 2 internal networks, 1 external ip. I just need to know what to set the second router to in order to do this. From what I remember in class you don't even need to touch the first router to make this work

Well I mean I want to do it just to try it out. No harm in experimenting. I found this on toms hardware, so I think it mostly understand what it's saying. "I run 2 routers at my house. Internet > modem > Asus router > Asus router The first router has a cable going from eth. 1 (you can pick any one of the 4) going into router 2's WAN port. So now router 2 is looking for internet from router 1. Make sure router 2 has a static IP coming from router 1. So if router 1 is 192.168.1.1. Set router 2s WAN ip to 192.168.1.2 Router 2's internal ip is 192.168.2.1 (notice the different subnet). Anything connected to router 2 will have an ip of 192.168.2.x while anything connected to Router 1 is 192.168.1.1." So basically when I set up PFsense on the box then I set the wan ip of the box to be 192.168.1.2 Then set the lan ip to be in a different subnet?

I want to have 2 seperate networks controlled by 2 seperate routers. Theres only one modem in the house. lets say 5 devices will connect to the first router and 3 will connect to the second. They all need internet access, but the internal network of the first 5 needs to be seperate from the internal network connecting the 3 on the second. They need to always be connected to their network, and always have internet connection.

I've searched google until my wits end but I just can't seem to figure out how to do this. I know it's possible, so I figured someone here can explain it to me better. So here's my situation. I'm in a home with 1 router that connects all the computers to a single network. simple enough. I wanted to try my hand at building a linux box router using pfsense, and it was well worth it. So now I have 2 routers. The situation I want to set up is to have the main router control one network, and have this second router be in control of a second network that is separate from the first. now since I'm a university student living at home I can't get rid of the first router to just have the one, but I do have access to the first one's configuration. I took a networking course so I know a little bit about subnetting and DHCP, but only what network admin 101 will teach you lol. So how do I go about doing this? I want the pfsense router to control a separate network that I can set up a home group on, but not allow the 2 networks to communicate with eachother. Sorry for the novel, and thanks in advance. P.S. Diagram of what I'm talking about Modem ----> Router 1 ----> Router 2 ----> Network 2 I I Network 1

Another request. Can you please do a tech quickie about the different types of backups and what is best for what situation. I even still have trouble with the difference between differential and incremental backups, let alone explaining it to someone else. Mention things like raid, offsite backup and the different types there are for each, like full system as well as "Apple Time Machine" style differential backups.
