How much better is a wired ethernet cable connection compared to wireless? I'm around 12m away and have 2 walls blocking the signal

>>51518638
About 10 times better in plain speech.
In tecnical terms you get 2.5 times the speed and better stability with ethernet

Was it just a meme technology all alone?
>>51518491
>fixed
It's inherent to the technology.
>>51518491
Bleed can be avoided if you buy a high-end display, while glow is indeed inherent to the technology.
There were some IPS displays made a while ago that used a special filter to remove IPS glow, but the trade-off was in skewed colors, which wasn't considered worth pursuing.

What do you do for work and how much more school do you need for what degree
>>51518377
I was a networkadmin before and started computer engineering now. Because I just started in october, I need like 3 more years to finish with a bachelor degree
>>51518354
university can be soul crushing because you know you will be in there a long ass time before it becomes useful, i'd say stick with it but its up to you, a lot of people say higher education isn't worth it nowadays.
Wat no ipfs thread?
>What is IPFS?
It's basically BitTorrent on steroids.
>why would one use it
* Distributed, decentralized filesharing (for now - ipfs is merely the communication protocol, and additional applications can exist on top of it).
* You can have a mutable address (i.e. always points to the latest version of a site), or a static address (points to a specific file). Yes, you can host sites over IPFS.
* Peers are found fast for new downloads. You don't need to wait that much to start a download.
* You can watch your animu while it downloads, I watched few episodes that way and it didn't even buffer.
>how to upload a single file
$ ipfs add ./$file
Access it at localhost:8080/ipfs/$outputted-hash
>how to upload a dir
$ ipfs add -r ./$dir
Access it at localhost:8080/ipfs/$last-outputted-hash
>how to make the thing mutable
$ ipfs name publish ./$file-or-dir-hash
Access it at localhost:8080/ipns/$output-hash-aka-peerid (it's ipNs not ipFs)
To update, publish another hash and it will be available at the same IPNS address.

Fresh Centos 7 x64 VM. When attempting to view the web interface from other devices on the LAN, I get this. Stuck at 0 connections. Information never loads.
If the connection is viewed from the actual VM, it shows a bunch of connections and IPFS links work. But remote machines aren't able to take advantage of the website.
I'd like to be able to throw this on a headless machine and have it available 24/7 on my ESXi server.
Any ideas?

hi,
got an used 7970, the guy said its not working and only had to pay shipping and packing to him for it, when i recieved it, i plugged it in, the fan is spinning but it is not indeed working, so i took the heatsink off and found out that the thermal paste hasnt been changed ever, it was rock hard, had to soak it up for a while to properly clean it
still not clean enough, but there seems to be a very tiny spot in the middle of the gpu, and a black spot on the heatsink's copper bottom, about 2x bigger than the one on the gpu
is this fixable, or the...

Thermal paste is typically hard when it's cold and liquidy when warm/hot. It being solid means the GPU is probably dead and not generating any heat when you turned it on.
It's fine, put thermal paste back on and enjoy it while it lasts.
It was probably a *coin miner piecing off his rig too.
>>51517792
I'm illiterate, didn't read that it was kill.
It's definitely something from a mining rig, unfixable
My little brother filled the ffam computer with ads because he downloads every shit he wants and only clicks yes in every installation.
Is there anything that can require you a password before downloading any program with firefox and chrome?
>>51517612
Install Gentoo
Make him use his own user account with 0 permissions to do anything
>>51517624
This would probably work.

Will fglrx also stop supporting those GPUs in the next update or is it just affecting Windows?

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-Crimson-Pre-GCN
>As a bit of unfortunate news for those with older AMD graphics cards: Crimson on both Linux and Windows has gone away with pre-GCN GPU support. The Radeon HD 5000/6000 series are no longer supported by the mainline Radeon Software (Catalyst) driver, leaving you with Catalyst 15.9 driver as the last official update.
AMD HAS NO DRIVERS
>>51517334
>>51517381
sounds like a good move.
Pruning old, garbage code from your codebase once in a while helps reduce driver filesize and overhead.
Nvidia's done this too, don't fucking act like they haven't.

Sell it and buy something useful.
Lookin to buy a new monitor for a build I'm workin on this comin Friday.
Both monitors natively support 1440p, 144hz, IPS and g-sync. In 1 corner we have the Acer Z35, OCs to 200hz, curved monitor 2560x1080. The other Asus ROG Swift, OCs to 165hz, flat panel 2560x1440.
So /g/ which one do you think I should sell my soul for?
>>51517196
1440p 144hz IPS
>>51517405
But muh FOV.
>>51517495
Then get the fucking acer.
Go away.
