How Java became so widespread?
Oracle pushing it down everyone's throats alongside their SQL products (which is actually useful)
Imagine a world where Oracle didn't do this, only gave us the sql dbms, and instead we had everything running in C.
The world would be great.

1. it runs on many platforms with little changes (almost zero changes if you dont do any UI stuff)
2. it is verbose to the point of almost being self documenting
3 it doesnt require any understanding of the computer architecture to use. you can use it to simply turn your business knowledge into a program.
4. because of point 3 it means you can hire people with less experience/skill to do the job. think of it like how companies had all those horrible VB programs developed by some middle manager...

Java had been widespread long before Oracle took over
What does /g/ think of btrfs? Does anybody use it? Is it better than ext4?
I don't use it.
I don't think it's good.
I don't think it's good that you keep creating those threads, also.
/g/ is split about, just like pretty much everything else.
I do, for my Raid 1.
It has its strengths. I feel better using ext4 on my boot drive, though.
been use it for /home for a few years already.
reason is, i need the file compression and saving more disk space on my notebook.
never have problem starting with kernel 4.2
earlier kernel do have bugs but luckily, reboot solve the problem.

/g/ halp, I have one main concern about encryption. How likely is it possible to encounter problems like software/hardware bugs causing encrypted data to become corrupted.
I guess I'm more worried about losing access to the data than data security.
>Should I just leave it unencrypted, or can I trust that it won't get corrupted?
And advice is appreciated.
OP here
>pic related
>>53730758
Sounds like a standard responsibility clause to me...
>>53730736
It's highly unlikely that the encryption software would cause your files to bear corrupted. Though I believe it could happen if you're using some shady encryption software. However, you can't exactly tell when your HDD or SSD could fail, so it's a good idea to make frequent backups, just as they said.
So recently my university decided to fuck up our net usage by introducing cyberroam which gives us only a specific amount of data per day and restricts access to porn, torrents, gambling websites etc general shiz. Now I can bypass this porn/gambling sites shiz with PHIPHON ez BUT there's a problem.

Who DNSSEC[1][2] here? Why do you use it? What do you use it for? Have you considered TLSA (DANE[3]), SSHFP[4], OPENPGPKEY[5] RRs yet? Discuss.
There's also an interesting new IETF draft, SMTP STS[6]. Would be interesting to secure your MTA more.

No one? Come on, leave the consumer threads for a moment.
DNSSEC has some some serious design weaknesses, but DANE is okay as a means of additionally constraining public key sets (I do not trust it fully due to the .gov owned roots).
I've deployed elliptic curve DNSSEC using djbdns tinydns/axfrdns. My patches are here: hhttps://github.com/qrmn/tinydnssec

Which DANE does not necessarily rely on. PKIX path validation is optional.

That's pretty cool, mate. How does djbdns compare to BIND or...

I want to buy a used SSD because I'm poor but I really want an SSD. I've never had an SSD before. Is there anything I need to look out for when buying one used?
>mfw he fell for the SDD meme
>>53730573
What is your budget? That really determines what you get. What country/area do you live in? U.S.A usually has the best prices.
>used SSD
A SSD only has a limited number to write cycles. If it's a used SSD then there are risks that they already installed something large like an OS on it before.
Should I upgrade to Android M on my LG G4?
Where's the scam?
No. Battery is so shit on M that i rolled back to 5.1
>>53730879
did you do a reset after upgrading?
>>53731157
Yes but it made no difference. I had android m for a month btw.
What's the cheapest laptop I can get that will fulfill all my needs as someone looking to get into coding?
>>53730471
Raspberry pi + 10Ah battery
Not sure but chrome book with ubuntu would be ok I guess
>>53730480
This, but I don't know if this qualifies as laptop.
Buy an x60 / x60s. Less than 100 euros and it has a wonderful keyboard. Also, comfy as fuck.
What is the best Linux to recommend to any females I happen to know?
Are there any femanons here that can give advice on what distro you chose and why?
Thankyou for the help
The same as for everyone else you fucking moron. It'd not like they have an extra hand so need a specifically built kernel module to support three-handed keyboards that only one obscure distro supports. God damn.

So lately, whenever I'm playing youtube videos with ublock origin enabled (both in firefox and chromium) the video just stops at random and stops loading unless I scroll forward and then back. It doesn't happen when I disable ublock.
Has youtube added some new anti-adblock measure or something?
youtube has gotten glitchier for me too, I have the same symptom as you but I'm not sure if the problem is ublock origin or youtube center.
I have the same problem too and it also freezes the browser (I use AdBlock Plus); I have to minimize and maximize the window in order to defuckit, because the scroll doesn't work when it freezes. I thought it was from Flash even though it only happens on YouTube.
>>53730360
youtube use a html5 player now, unless your browser is shit

Go to the control panel turn on Adaptive Power Managment.
Reinstall GPU driver and make sure you use driver sweeper.
At idle I get a 36-38 temp on my 970. It's a decent card it's not the end all be all for Maxwell GPUs.
I'm tossing this shit as soon as I can for whoever get's better frames at 4k when I can.

The neckbeards who just sit at home playing games disgust me.
People think that these people are the ones who become succesful programmers but most succesful programmers look normal, have a healthy social life, girlfriend/wife and children.
>>53731037
So it's common?
>>53731131
I think it's more a symptom than a cause.
If you're functioning there is a bigger chance you'll have a wife and children.
