So i want to upgrade my r9 280x to a gtx 1070, the 1070 is $540 here in canada. Do you guys think i should buy the 1070 asap (like 2-8 weeks i guess) or should i wait a bit for prices or something?
>>55447135
just get a 970
Prices wont go down anytime soon. Also don't buy into the "wait for the 1060 to come out" or some shit like that.

Is that you?

At work we're using an ADSL2+ internet connection with an old Optus modem. It's still using the very outdated 802.11g protocol.
I've been thinking though, since wireless is 54mbps and our internet is supposed to peak at 20mbps(it's actually 14 on speedtest), would we benefit at all from a newer modem with 300n?
Pic related is our modem

i still use g, it's not that slow everything is fast enough for video streaming and thats all that matters.
N is faster but it requires a 5ghz band for the 300mbps, 5ghz is not good for object penetration, for example if you were to leave your building and stay connected to a 5ghz N router it would most likely drop the 5ghz and go back to G only (2.4ghz).
The new AC spec is even worse since it makes you chose one or the other, If you connect to the 5ghz side of the router you will benefit but only...

I'm not saying its outdated, but would we see any improvements? Speed is pretty good, but this modern has been here almost half as long as I've been alive.
I'm asking more out of curiosity, I still use a 54mbps g usb stick at home because it works fine.
The only thing Arch provides that no other distro does is the AUR. The wiki is quite extensive as well. So far Arch is pretty much the only distro I would use.
>inb4 AUR a shit
No it isn't. It works, read the pkgbuild and don't just keep pressing y-n-n-y in your AUR helper.
However there are people out there who want a very stable working environment. They just want security patches, not new packages.
What are the options? FYI I prefer learning things through Wiki.
>Debian
Debian stable live ISO crashes on my new laptop (2016) every time I boot. Should I install from the minimal?
>*buntu LTS
Been using it. Not a fan of apt, this is why I want to use something other than Debian
>Slackware
>FreeBSD
I like systemd
>Gentoo
Timesink. Although I might try Funtoo/Calculate Linux
>Crux
>Sourcemage
>Void
>OpenSUSE
If only it had a good wiki.
>CentOS
Now I really would LOVE to use this exclusively. How is the Wiki?
Go with Debian testing minimal. If you don't like apt, go with CentOS or OpenSUSE
I'm in the same boat as you, OP.
I'm currently on Arch, just because all other distros suck ass. I like the AUR, but I'd like a more stable system and the ability to configure everything to my liking.
I hate APT too, it's too fucking slow and breaks dependencies all the time unless you're on Debian stable.
>>55447882
Did you use CentOS. I am very fascinated with it but can't seem to find a proper wiki page.

He wasn't even a programmer, he was mainly an investor. He hired people to write OS X you dumbfuck.

Does cable internet installed in modern facilities still have issues with slow speeds during peak times? Currently I have internet with ATT with 50down/ 5 up, but they have bandwidth caps ( 600gb) that i'm hitting consistently. Time Warner Cable just installed internet in my apartment complex that has 300down/20up.
I know lots of people still talk shit about ISPs because they don't understand things like congested WiFi in the area on 2.4 ghz channels, but is this so called "cable speed drop during peak times" a reality, or is this just people who don't...

It's possible that there is a peak load effect.
But studies done on the state-wide schools net where I used to work showed that over 70% the traffic on the backbone was malware. Windows malware, to be specific. Not surprising since most schools had deployed Windows.
Given that 70% of the bandwith was used by malware it's no surprise that a NASA event, for instance, would saturate the backbone.

Hey currently overclocking a 6600k, does anybody know what a safe max vcore would be on a 212 evo? thanks
>>55446872
I thought 1.4 was the limit.
I'm at 1.34 for 4.6
I might be able to go lower, but it's stable and I got tired of rebooting 12 times.
>>55446872
Apparently an Intel doc says 1.52V and 72C is safe. However it is common for people to suggest staying below 1.4V, and on a 212 evo, you'll definitely hit 72 before 1.4V.
And peaking above 72 is alright, but you don't want it to sit at ~80C for hours while you are gaming or rendering projects, so make sure to test in scenarios you actually plan on using the processor with, not just in benchmarking tool/torture tests
It looks like the average vcore for 6600k @4.6 is close to 1.35 and this tends to be near the upper limit for acceptable temps on air cooling. So you might want to just start here to test the temp, then lower the vcore until you get unstable (instead of slowly working your way up from stock).
>>55446973
are you watercooled? mine isn't stable at 1.350v at 4.4ghz
So I have to learn Tomcat for the next week as I can get a raise if I do so. I don't know much about it, to be honest I don't even know what it does.
I've been googling around, but I'd like to try asking here. What should I know? What kind of job would I be doing using Tomcat? I'm currently a Linux SA.
bump
>>55446827
a bad kind of job
>>55446827
its a barebone Java EE container.
do some jsp shit for that is about all that is provided by tomcat.
Why aren't you manchildren using the greatest operation system of all time?
Why do you constantly put up with broken or incompleet features, no professional support and no useful applications?
Windows 10 has everything from seemless integration, productivity with Office 2016, file backup with OneDrive, and the brouser of the future, Microsoft Edge. Not to mention unmatched multimedia and gaming experiences with DirectX12 and Groove Music.
Its time to stop living in the past. Microsoft is your friend, they are giving it to you free. Take them up on there...

I know you are sceptical, butn come now, you mst at least try.
Wow OP, it is really that easy?
I'm gonna upgrade now, posting results asap.

Why don't you use Fedora? It's bleeding edge, it's stable, and it just werks, plus no botnet.
>>55446699
I use Fedora 23 at work, and debian at home. The biggest issue I have found is that the repositories are small, and that they follow U.S. patent laws.

But the NSA and Fedora are BFFs
So does /g/ still like Tox? Last I remember hearing about it was when the mini-scandal happened.
Looks like its been coming along well and I'm trying to start using only privacy focused software but I'm not sure if anyone even uses it.
It's still useless and nobody uses it
>>55446658
What makes it useless? Genuinely curious.
Use it to talk with friends. Not many use it though so it's pretty useless.
Anybody have any shell scripts they made that you wanna show? Post em'

Does anyone else feel safe using Google's and Microsoft's services just because of how "big" they are?

Does it really matter if they give you nice software?
Depends what you are putting on their servers.
