Meh. Dropped my name in the hat. My primary concern is whether the wage is viable to relocate on, and be comfortable. I've got a stable programming job right now that probably pays 10 times better that what LMG could do. Without knowing figures, there's no way to know for sure. Just getting up and moving across the world isn't something I'm willing to do unless there's more info.

Agreed, yes. Node + Docker / Kubernetes is really nice to play with.

I guess with the right server environment it's do-able. My background is in Enterprise Java but I've mixed things up in recent years with Node too.

Why Node.js? Seriously? I'm not certain that it's particularly futureproof. Node.js is often used for projects that have to be cobbled together to get something out of the door fast. Agile, yes, but not maintainable imo.

The best antivirus is common sense. If you don't think you're going to do anything stupid, you're probably okay without it.

Apologies, I think I got the wrong version of php there. Try these. If those don't work, take a look at DigitalOcean's guides for a resource https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04#step-3-install-php sudo apt-get remove php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt sudo service apache2 restart

Double check you have installed these packages from aptitude: sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt Edit: when you've done that, restart apache2: sudo service apache2 restart

Which distro of Linux are you using, and what web server? Apache or nginx?

6700K doesn't do ECC memory.

Chose it for the TDP. I pay for my own electric.

I plan to stick another one in at another time for both of the builds. The Xeon MBO only supports 64GB actually, so 4x16 would make more sense (2x16 for now). Thanks for pointing that out

Okay, I'm have a bit of a dilemma. I'm wanting to get a new system this year, which is fine. Problem is I can't decide. I've basically got two options I'm thinking about right now. Scenario A: On the side of my usual Java Development job, I do a fair amount of heavy lifting when it comes to building Linux kernels and whatnot. It would be nice to have a stable and silent powerhouse to run these tasks on. So I've come up with this workstation build for that. Scenario B: I also attend a fair few LAN parties each year, whilst visiting my younger brother down in London as well. We both are into similar games, so it would be nice to have a portable rig that I could fit in a suitcase or backpack. And so for this use case, I have this tiny monster. Question is, what would you pick? I know, it's a little vague... but yeah. My main concern is thermals on the Node 202, however with a blower cooler on the GPU it might be okay. Definitely no room for overclocking, but I'd like to at least keep the parts Z170 if I decide to throw them in a bigger case later on. If I could get some input on the specs too, that'd be much appreciated. Thanks

Suggestion based on my experience trying to make games in LWJGL: Use libgdx. Saves you all this nasty work.

Just joined the forums tonight (yay). Stumbled upon this thread and decided to revive a little script I wrote a year ago. This will convert any Quake 3 or MoH formatted map into a Call of Duty 3/4/5 compatible file. The purpose? Play Quake 3 maps in CoD Zombies on PC Source Also, it's under 50 lines now instead of the 100 target. Considering the original project spanned multiple files before, with many lines - I consider this a success ;D
