Why aren't you running dual PSUs, /g/?
Because dual PSU's are a frogposter tier meme.
What is being shown in the picture like dafuq good could come out of sticking a paperclip in two prongs
>>52114917
Sticking it in those specific prongs tricks the PSU into thinking it's hooked to a motherboard and turns it on. You could then have the PSU hooked up to just a hard drive or something to decrease the load on your main psu. And fry the hard drive, probably.
After about a year of staring at piles of important documents needing to be digitized and wanting to learn more about ways to safely store them for the long run, I have finally started to look into my options. I started with learning about RAID 0, 1, and 10, and I thought I was sufficiently satisfied with the thought of using RAID 1. Then I learned about 5 and 6. Then I heard about Zfs and thought it sounded like the most amazing thing. Then I started reading about all the people hating Zfs. Then I read a key feature is that it can catch and fix corruption issues. Then I read...

Redundancy complements backups but they're not a substitute. RAIDs are used to keep a system online in case of hardware failure but they cannot stop software or users from doing damage. A RAID setup cannot stop a malicious program from executing for example. Even users or programs that are not intentionally malicious can cause damage to important files or the filesystem.

RAID1 is just a copy, not a backup.
Oh my, i had some elaborate analogy with buttplugs in mind, but it wouldn't be too SFW...
Anyway, using RAID1 is very good but it is not backup, a bit less pricey solution would be RAID5 or 6. In the event of disk failure it let's you replace failed device without interrupting your work. But let's say, all drives fail, or you have some electrical surges, storm or flood. Now all your data is gone. That's where BACKUPs come in handy. They should be stored...

The best thing is raid 50 and zfs. but you end up replacing discs alot. zfs does work on crappy drives

AHK has better facilities for interacting with GUIs than any set of language binds you can name.
We live in a world where GUIs are a reality, for better or worse, so if you're going to automate them you might as well get the best tool set, which happens to be simple enough that people with minimal programming experience can use it too.

OSX usually, and I'll shill for apple but the reality is AHK is better software than automator ever will be.
P.S. X binds are almost never a good solution to automation.
I do some "web development" for the restaurant I work for. Basically it is editing blog posts via joomla and jce editor. Super simple Microsoft Word teir stuff, but no one knows that except me since my colleagues are tech illiterate.
Anyway it has given me a reputation as a capable web developer and word has been getting around and now I have real prospects for web development deals.
I understand the basic concepts behind creating websites, but when it comes to the details and overall professional course of action I will be playing it by ear.

I'm pretty confident I can learn on the down low while actually accomplishing something. I just need to be able to pretend I'm confident in my abilities
hey folks. just tell us what u think this thing could be, we just can't figure it out. Facts: - It's made of wood - It's painted all in blacky / It was bought in a thrift-shop in Germany

What kind of flash drive does the average /g/entleman use? Do you use it for quick file transfer? Cold storage? Bootable O/S?
128Gb Patriot XT here. I partition it for different O/S installs as well as a large petition for storage.
i use whatever your mother has laying around to save the videos we make together.
>>52114474
card reader with 32gb mmc
so it's got multiple bootable partitions on it? huh never thought of that.... what OS's and why?
mouse mats/pads.
There are no /g/ guides for me to blindly follow and all tech review sites seem like paid advertisements.
I'm currently using a normal sized Razer Goliath which is starting to seem small and dirty (+ I want to leave Razer products).
Any suggestions/guides?
If not then mousemat/mousepad discussion.

a good mouse doesnt need one

Why aren't you using Hannah Montana Linux /g/?
GNU/Linux is already a kiddo OS by default

This isn't GNU+ Linux as you like to call it, but rather Hannah Montana + Linux

Currently using Macbook Pro with El Cap OSX, need to keep porn collection separate from rest of computer. What's the best way to do this? Had 2 ideas:
1) Create a partition in Disk Utility and keep everything on there
2) Use separate accounts (e.g.: Work and Personal) and keep them separated that way.
I have a huge porn collection and want to be able to use all the cool search features offered by El Cap but don't want anything showing up when I use the computer for school/with friends/gf.

Gonna stick with El Cap, bro... any other thoughts?

How can I convince my friends relatives that grades don't mean that much if you have certificates to back it up and experience? Which my friend probably has the certificate part, not sure about the certs.
He invited me to a resort that his family owns and holy shit, he got shit on every time it gets.
Literally have a relative that is banking 100k/y as a webdesigner that graduated with a 2.9 in computer science.
tldr: Do grades matter in CompSci?
unless you have real world experience or are going to MIT or something, yes grades do matter
They don't matter as much as everyone thinks they do but that's no excuse to be a bum and graduate with a 2.0. Work hard and you will be rewarded
any tangible evidence that you're not a fuck up will never hurt you in any way. is it a requirement to have good grades to be successful? no, it's not even a requirement to go to college, but if you do do something, you should be trying to do it the best you can. the fact of the matter is the technology bubble is maturing, and it's no longer like the early 2000s where you can make $150K just by pretending you know what a computer is. a college degree will be a valuable asset to someone who has other real skills and experience as they move through their career,...

I did not where to go with this topic and Facebook is involved with Oculus so I figure that's close enough.
Apparently Zuckerberg's attempt to give free internet to the poor of India has been met with backlash because of the restrictions on content the service (Internet.org) puts. Officials in India think that this is a way to gate internet to poor people and take advantage of the lack of viable alternatives for the citizens.
Zuckerberg thinks that the Indians should be grateful for the possibility of internet at all and that the restrictions will be lifted over...

What exactly is restricted to them? Is it censorship of some kind? You know the jews love a good narrative control.
If he is artificially limiting where they can go I understand. However I would bet the officials are more pissed about the incoming social upheaval that all of this new information is about to cause an already on edge India.
Please no Indian spring, if poo in loo tries to migrate it will definitely be WW3 and the rise of nationalism for good or bad.
It's not free arbitrary TCP/IP, it's zero rated cellular data for a select few services, one of which happens to be (quelle surprise) Facebook itself. It absolutely needs to be stopped. The regulators are doing their job. The way Facebook are sending emails on peoples behalf without their permission supporting it is creepy af too.
>>52114415
Facebook's arguments are pretty dumb anyway. India already has very cheap cellular data. The amount of money Facebook has spent panicked trying to push this is pretty amazing desu.
can someone help me out.
I have a Note 5 and went to copy some files from my PC (win7 64bit) to it and whenever I do, explorer keeps crashing.
Ive tried to copy to different devices, an MP3 player and my external HDD and had no issues doing so but the phone keeps giving me trouble
>>52114236
Use the samsung side sync app.
Wifi file transfers are generally far faster than USB anyway.
>>52114255
well that's a cool little work around. Thanks for the advice
doesn't really solve the issue so much though
I have the note five and dont have that problem so sorry op just use sidesync
