    To further explain this: There are 2 types of services being started: - One type is the actual caching containers. They are per service (Steam, Origin, ...) - The other type is a container that takes the incoming requests, and then either forwards them to the caching containers or just forwards towards the internet if no container is found for the service. You need to point your Windows machines to the second type.

    The energy is basically wasted. The energy used by bitcoin could be spent powering equipment that is doing cancer research or finding ET. Could also be used to power manufacturing facilities to make produced items cheaper, making them more affordable to poorer countries.

    Can you ping machines via ip adress? Eg: 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS machine) If yes: Then the issue is probably something DNS related. Go into the settings of your pc and set Google DNS as your preferedd DNS servers If no: Then the issue should be somewhere between the Router and Modem or Modem and ISP network. Perhaps some idiot put a backhoe trough the cable somewhere.

    Unless you have credentials for each and every pc (or an administrative way to acces the machine) I don't think it is possible to do this remotely

    Pretty much anything is possible with some code. You could code this in a couple of hours.

    Looks to be a workstation, how do you even read text on the outer screens?!

    Yeay, you're gonna want a point to point network on that ethernet cable. Pick a subnet adress eg: 192.168.100.0, subnet mask could be as small as a /30 (CIDR notation), and set each machine with an ip: eg: 192.168.100.1 and 192.168.100.2. You should then be able to connect via SMB (if all is set up correctly on the linux box) via the ip adress of the box itself
  8. MrKickkiller
    If you set static ip's in the small subnet that should be just the case. But explain again how you physically want to setup these pc's? Is the tiny box gonna be connected to a switch and then back to the W10 machine, the same way W10 gets its internet? Or are you running a cable between a second ethernet port of W10 to the new machine? In the first scenario, you simply need to set a static ip in the subnet your router 'controls'. Most likely 192.168.0.0/24 (Look up CIDR notation & subnetting). In the second scenario, you would need to make a point to point network between both machines. The link above should do that just fine.

    No need for a router to have a /30 network between 2 pc's. Point to point connections is a thing. And are you sure the rolling release is that helpfull for a roughly server - client style use case? Like, I love Arch, but wouldn't trust any server with it. The rolling release of basic Arch can break many things. Personally for my server I just use Ubuntu server 16.04 or the 16.04 LTS version of normal Ubuntu

    Ah, yea. That should be doable with a manual network config. Lemme get you a basic guide https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/251057/can-i-contect-a-ubuntu-linux-laptop-to-a-windows-10-laptop-via-ethernet-cable This about explains it. You basically wanna create a host to host network, with no router in between. You simply have to set PC A to an ip within your subnet, and PC B to an ip within your subnet. Perhaps it's a good thing if you learn some networking. It could be really usefull later in life (whenever the "Did you try turning it off and on again" isn't working for Grandma Ester's pc ).

    Serving data to a Windows pc is done via Samba-share, and Samba probably has binaries for every flavour of linux.

    Tbh, anything is possible with some sort of linux distribution. I currently have my 'work' laptop on an Antergos (basically easy-Arch) install, but that is not really helpfull for systems that are meant to run very stable for long periods of time. Arch is rolling release instead of the major release schemes from the Ubuntu family.

    How comfortable are you with Linux? On a scale from low comfort to very high comfort: LUbuntu (as it is quite low on resource demands) Ubuntu Server (Touch heavier, but no gui to suck up resources) Debian (Light and no standard gui afaik)

    Although I may be a touch late to reply to this thread I have been in contact with AT support on what accesories come with this version of the headphones. He has mentioned that the gun metal version of the headphones is an Amazon exclusive. You'll have to find a way to make it work. If you're really determined, you could use a re-shipping service. They will take your package from Amazon, and then forward it to you.

    They actually don't as 100% used server capacity is generally bad for user experience. Any more requests to the system and it grinds to a halt. They generally aim for high usage by combining workloads with virtualisation. At one point a machine may be a web server, the next it may host a piece of controller software and some file stuff.

    1. Ubuntu with Gnome, KDE Neon (Ubuntu in the back, KDE in the front) 2. Most if not all Linux'es are fairly light compared to pre-built laptops with 17 thousand pieces of software from the manufacturer 3. Why have it pre-installed? Installing things in linux is easy as eating a cake. Most will even have detailed guides on how to do it. 4. No Linux (except maybe some Arch based distros, but that's a totally different matter) will nag about updates. Especially not if you select the version with an LTS (long term support) kernel.

    A touch older of a guide, but if you swap some components to later generation hardware (or find em cheap on second hand websites), you can do most if not all of what you want

    Can't you just make a firewall rule directing all traffic from the internal ip, via the non-vpn gateway?

    I believe the first Oneplus shipped with CyanogenMod. That was later changed to 1+'s own version of Cyanogen: OxygenOS

    Concept of cases is actually locked in to the actual string comparison No real easy way to redefine it. But as @Red Saum & @djdwosk97 suggested, just uppercase both strings in the comparison. It will be case insensitive
  21. MrKickkiller
    I believe the 2 recessed ones to be 'hot', and the larger middle one to be ground/safety. There is no positive / negative lead on AC cords / equipment. Note: I am not an electrician. Also, don't try stupid things with 120/230 V AC. You will fry yourself
  22. MrKickkiller
    Not directly. Unless your goverment decides to take example from Ajit Pai and his greedy fingers (subjective). Other than that major sites will still work like they used. As far as the smaller sites, you may experience some slow down if the content has to travel over the network infrastructure of an evil ISP.

    Re-read the final sentence in that quote from the community standards.

    You are welcome! It's just that circumventing a company's security policy is about equal to helping them get access to some restricted content (like what many Torrents nowadays do). People have set rules for your and their protection. In many legal documents and terms of service you gotta read in between the lines. LTT just doesn't want this forum to become a festing ground for the latest new stolen and cracked software with 50 different malware trackers in it!

    Talking about piracy in general, broad details, is acceptable however the posting or discussing pirated/hacked/cracked or otherwise nefariously obtained content is not. This includes Windows content, games, hackintosh, etc. Also discussions regarding ways to avoid or block legitimately installed monitoring/tracking software or the like is also not allowed.
