    This also means that Apps running only in 32-bit mode will not be available in the iOS 11 App Store.  

    even though the 64-bit architecture is designed to have backwards compatibility without much problem?

    if apple is saying thats it's not possible to run 32-bit programs on 64-bit hardware, the bullshit meter would explode

    wait one sec

    (gets out bullshit meter)

    WE INTERRUPT THIS POST TO BRING YOU A BULLETIN NEWS STORY, a young couples house exploded at 11am, police say the cause was a bullshit meter that coulden't handle the amount of bulshit something was giving out, currently police don't know what thing caused it to explode but know that it was bullshit of the highest level.

    next up: these puppies have fun at the local dog park with their adopted owner..

     but if the question is whether to setup 2 debian based systems to host 2 simple servers or just one,

    debian doesn't take much resources but it could be improved by removing the extra stuff that it has and only have the essentials (no GUI, CLI is the best for a linux server as it doesn't need much resources)

    if the server has the power to run two debian's then it's cheaper to virtualise

    but if it can't, then two systems may be required to do your workloads

     

    it's better to virtualise in many people's cases as it's free and doesn't require two physical systems

    my server runs multiple virtual OS's

    it's an 8 core system (yes it's overpowered but i use it for work and stuff by virtualizing OS's to see if a implementation would work or screw up our network) and it runs

    windows server 2016 (host OS) has 8 cores 16 threads 16gb ram (with no virtual OS's running)

    arch linux (main linux system and main work server os for non-windows stuff) 2 cores 4 GB RAM (runs with everything below except windows server 2016)

    ubuntu server (sub linux system, used for testing new software for our ubuntu server servers, some are ubuntu) 2 cores 4 GB ram

    windows server 2016 (virtual os, used on our work servers that handle things like windows users) 4 cores 8GB RAM (when run, all other virtual systems are turned off)

     

    all of the virtual systems don't have threads because i'm lazy and can't be bothered enabling them

    I appreciate the help, I might look into those, my main goal was to see how the one built into Geforce Experience worked and if it worked well, i've done recordings with it with very little to no problems, but as i'm not an avid streamer and fairly new to it I thought i'd try it since it's a stock feature.

    it's not that great, third-party software does it better

    Running an OS takes resources, so you should try to run as few as possible.

    Would you agree?

    not necessarily

    yes it takes resources but it depends on how much

    arch linux (a popular DIY bare bones linux distro) requires a minimum of 128mb of RAM, but thats just the base os, want to run a web server, oh there goes 512mb, want to run a GUI there goes 256mb

    it depends on what the os is doing and how much resources it needs to complete it's task/s

     

    to run as few as possible is also recommended but many virtualisation servers run many virtual OS's and don't have the luxury of running as few as possible and may need to run multiple at once. an example of this is azure, they host many OS's on one system as possible, once it can't handle anymore, another server is setup to handle more.

     

    our main server hosts about 8 OS's (not including the host) and each system has at least 2 cores and at most 6 cores

    it depends on what you do with it, so running as few as possible may not fit many organizations or people's needs

    would I need to reinstall geforce experience as well or no?

    yes, if you want to stream games, just use OBS (free) or xsplit (paid)

    https://obsproject.com/

    https://www.xsplit.com/

    they work find and xsplit has hardware acceleration support (will take advantage of your GPU and use it to process frames)

    but OSB has plugins that provide extra functionality

    look at their pros and cons and decide which one would work for your setup

    Theoretically you should use a single VM where possible, since the OS will try to optimize CPU time and it is best to do that at as high a level as possible.

    more efficient kernels are better at this but, some OS's designed for this (unRAID) don't handle the virtual OS's data and allows it restricted access to the hardware

    in RAM's case, the host OS sets lets say 2gb for this example; of RAM, it "partitions" the selection (i know it's not the right term, i don't care) and send info the to virtual OS saying the system has 2gb RAM when in reality it may have more

    the CPU is more complicated to explain but simply the host says the system only has these two cores available

    virtualisation software works like this, but they have to deal with other programs and the host OS takes care of the resource allocation, if the host OS is the software, this allows the OS to more efficiently allocate the resources

    but some software (Hyper-V is the only example i know of) can talk to the OS because it's got the same code, the OS allows the software to allocate the resources itself allowing it to do itself instead of the OS doing it, allowing for more efficient resource allocation

    Often times you cannot access your own public IP in general.

    yea, ISP's are dicks generally. they do this stuff to force us prosumers to upgrade to a more expansive plan that removes these restrictions...

    if you live in australia the best ISP i know is optus, they don't do this sh*t and allow users to port-forward and use their public IP for whatever they want..

    the only one i know of in the us that doesn't have these restrictions is google fiber, i don't live in the us but changing plans or using multiple plans is prob going to be more common their with ISP's being like this

    i understand if you can't change due to it being to expensive or you having a contract with your current one

    but always read the fine print as by law, they have to state what restrictions comes with your plan and what they allow and don't allow with your conection

    Starting at $4999

    PEOPLE, REMEMBER THE WORD "STARTING" AT THE START OF THE SENTENCE

    prob will be a quad core i5 with 8gb (non-ECC) ram and 256 SSD

    lets see if other people have made better systems...

    (google's hackintoshes)

    YEP! and only for $1000 USD!

    25% of the cost is the actual machine, the rest (75%) is the logo and name of the system

    soo, 25% of $5000, $1250, the rest $3750

    1250 + 3750 = 5000

    my logic is impeccable!

    when it drops down to the .76 ghz i see the CPU voltage drops to .77 volts could the power supply be causing an issue?

    system would of died because their wasn't enough power, the CPU needs a minimum amount of power to function

    i think for skylake it's 1.5-1.6 volts

    ok so under task manager it says 4.01 but in nzxt CAM it shows the core clock as 800mhz still and when i go in game im getting the same 20-30 fps i was getting before 

    hmm.....

    try a different compatible CPU and see if you get the same results (if you can, i know some people don't have spare parts laying around)

    Welp. After reading all of that..... I give up.. 

    how do you think i feel? thats everyday with me and @leadeater, him telling me something, and me going:

    me: i know that, i dumb it down for the people who want a simple and straight answer....

    leadeater: but you get some info wrong...

    me: again, simple and straight, some info may have to be wrong to allow a person to understand it better

    leadeater: again, some of the info is wrong

    me: f**k this... (walks out of room)
