Are there Skylake consumer boards that support ECC memory?
I'd like to build a home server that runs FreeNAS with the ZFS file system.
If i fuzz the gps data before it reaches pokemon go, will it think im walking and hatch my egg?
>>55600797
heh, why would you think you need ECC for that?
>>55600810
Everyone in the storage business seems to scream murder when you don't.

How do I get a job at bestbuy with

knowledge and no work experience.
Thinking of just showing up and asking for interview. Am high school senior.
>>55600850
Not from USA so I don't know how good BestBuy is. But if you want to become better at fixing computers stick on the SQT threads. Helping anons fix, or watching anons help fix computers helps a lot on terms of mindset.
So, /g/.
Explain to me why some email provides block emails coming from dynamic IPs, even though the IP has SPF + DKIM + DMARC set up. Indeed, why does RATS Dyna blacklist exist?
>>55600828
have you read through that?
its mostly missinformed neckbeards screaming bloody murder about nothing
http://jrs-s.net/2015/02/03/will-zfs-and-non-ecc-ram-kill-your-data/
>>55600872
because 99.9% of the time people using dynamic IP addresses don't set up a mail server.
it's far more common that they got infected and spread their malware by sending mass mails.
so losing that tiny percentage of people doesn't matter.
if you really need one, set up a vps to relay mails for a few $ per month.
>>55600850
>i built my own gaymen pc
add that you intalled countless times windows
trouble shoot all your family and friends
should be enough and they will give you training anyway
go and try
>>55600894
SPF + DKIM + DMARC, anon.
They could at least allow IPs that have their shit fully secured. Or at least send those emails to the spam folder.
>>55600917
so what, you are one of thousands of people wanting this.
you could go to every company and swear you aren't going to send any spam too.
what you want is insignificant.
>>55600885
I've read about 20 articles including that one. One tells me that I could just run without, the other one tells me I'm insane for even thinking about it.
The issue is that I don't know who has the correct answer. Yes the co-founder said something about it not being dangerous.
I'm not nearly fully knowledgeable about ZFS, but if I use ZFS raid with 2 HDDs will I be safe from HDD error rates?
>>55600797
You don't really need ECC if you are using ZFS, so if that is the only thing stopping you, don't worry about it.
I want to program the First Fit algorithm for the Bin-Packing problem.
It's fairly easy, here's some pseudo code
http://bastian.rieck.ru/uni/bin_packing/bin_packing.pdf
But I also want to output the content of every bin in a list, that has separators between each bin. And as a note, each of my item is 2-dimensional, consisting of a weight and an id.
How do
>>55600945
>will I be safe from HDD error rates
what in the flying jesus is that - a hdd error rate?
anyway, yes, you will be fine, ive been running ~15 nas4free machines for like 2 years, data integrity was never an issue
that article only points out that the doomsday scenario that single bit flip in memory could shit your whole pool is nonsense
>>55600945

Why are original Arduinos so much expensive than clones? Are the clones bad quality? I found a few opinions stating so.
>>55600896
this is good advice thank you.
I installed windows more times than I can count when I was 13 because I didn't switch the mobo boot to Hdd instead of disc.
cheers
>>55600940
I suppose I'll consider a VPS, but it's basically paying for an iptables firewall to just redirect traffic. And I suppose I'll have to make postfix rewrite the source IP in heaaders as well, but that's trivial.
>>55600981
Read Error Rate I meant. They say that a single one of those could ruin your pool.
Yeah I just have to know that I can't just shrek my entire pool like that. If I lose a file idc, I always get offsite backups of my important files.
So that'll be it: No ECC memory.
Is it fine if I just use the onboard S-ATA ports?
For completeness if anyone has any remarks on my build so far (It's not only going to run FreeNAS):
Celeron G3900
MSI H110M PRO-VD
CORSAIR CMV8GX4M1A2133C15 8GB (maybe 2 of these?)
Corsair VS 350W
Western Digital Red 2TB x2
Some small SSD for the OS so the HDDs can spin down.
>>55601031
Research I'd say. Clones can just ctrl+c ctrl+v the schematics.

What's Raid and what's the point of it?
>>55601135
Making multiple disks work together.
It improves speed or helps to recover when a disk breaks. Depends on the configuration.
>>55601156
So basically combines different ssd/hdd into one? What's the downside?
>>55601096
you dont need SSD
freeNAS and nas4free are both build so that you boot from usb key, 4GB is enough
its to save sata ports for data drives
would up the HDDs to 2 x 3TBs
and you dont need that much ram, they often say that 1TB of data = 1GB of ram
thats for caching and performance, not for home media server, 4GB ram would be more than enough for anything and everything
Sup, what do you recommend for a future proof build?
Haswell
i7 4790 and GA-B85M-DS3H-A
or
Skylake
i5 6500 with GA-B150M-D3H GSM
the first is about 40 usd more
Been testing out different distros on virtualbox, keeping all the iso files on one flash drive. If I want to actually install one in a newly-built PC, do I need to take out all but the one I want?
>>55601187
It's not only going to run FreeNAS. It's going to run at least OpenVPN, DNSMasq and a LAMP stack as well. And I have 4 S-ATA ports with the H110 chipset anyway.
My plan for the whole thing is to run an ESXi and virtualize everything.
But going for Skylake is a good idea right?
Is a 650w psu enough for a 980ti gpu?
>>55601179
For RAID0:
You write and read the split data to 2 disks at the same time. This improves speed but causes you to lose everything when 1 disk breaks.
RAID1:
You write and read the same data to 2 disks at the same time. This gives you redundancy but you only have half the storage.
You can combine these into a RAID10 and then you have both. The only downside with this is that you need 4 disks.

where can i buy a cryptolocker kit to make my own?
>>55601291
Also a raid 1 backup is just a mirror, so if something gets corrupted or deleted on one drive, it has the same problem on the other. And sometimes certain utilities or hardware or OS's wont be compatible with raid, so it's something to be aware of. You wouldn't combine different sized disks or an ssd with an hdd either.
How do game patches work?
Let's say I missed patch 1.2, will it be included with patch 1.3 when I download it or I have to download it alongside it? If it was included with 1.3 wouldn't it make 1.3 larger?
>>55601299
Yes. That's how people are able to confirm nothing has been added to it.

Thank you so much
I'm using my PC for BOINC, and one project I'm part of makes my GPUs run constantly near 80 Celsius for hours. Is this acceptable or am I just wearing out my GPUs faster than normal?
>>55601376
Depends on the game or program in question.
>>55601394
It'll let the fans turn harder and make them wear out faster. But it'll probably be a worthless piece of hardware before that happens. The thing you should worry about is your power bill.
>>55601302

Old lady that works with me asked me to buy her a $200-300 laptop to get for her high school level son. What can I get that's decent for such a low cost and it's not used?
>>55601621
Nothing that isn't pure anus. If you'd pay 500 it would last a lot longer.
>>55601397
Let's say an OS or Torrent client etc.
>>55601621
That's an awfully slim budget for a laptop. You can try searching slickdeals for a while until something pops up in your price range.
>>55601677
>>55601663
Can I get a decent desktop for that? She only wants a laptop because her kids said so, but they don't plan to take it anywhere.
>>55601376
>>55601670
still depends.
some you need to update each version separately, some put everything into one huge patch, some others do delta patches that only download the bytes that changed, some download the entire program again and just install over the old one.
there's not one way to do this. it depends on whichever way the developers programmed it.
>>55601694
I can build a pc for 300. Without screen, keyboard, mouse and OS that is.
I want 2 1080p monitors, <=24 inches, thinnest possible bezels, at least 60hz, <=5 ms response time.
What's the cheapest one out there?
>>55601670
Well most torrent clients would have you download a whole new copy of the client. Windows installs updates single file, sometimes certain updates have a prerequisite, and sometimes they'll roll up several updates into a service pack which then becomes a prerequisite for a lot of things. The second "service pack" for windows 7 is called a "convenience roll up" and you can choose between it and the individual updates.
>>55601621
You can get a good chromebook or an entry level laptop for that much. Scratch and dent/refurbished/older generation helps.

Should my CPU be hitting these temperatures? They seem unreasonably high.
It has a game running in the background, and it's not unusual for it to hit 75-76ºC while playing. I cleaned up my PC recently, so even if it has some dust in it, it's not that much, should be decently clean. Also reapplied thermal paste about a month ago in preparation for the summer, but it seems like it didn't change a thing. My case airflow isn't great, but still, it seems like it's going much higher than it should. Even the 390 in my case is never going up that high, it's always the CPU that's hotter.
Is it time to invest in a custom cooler? I really didn't want to have to, since it's just a shitty non-K i5, but still, these temps are seriously messing with me.
Where am I supposed to mount an additional hard drive with personal data? /home/.../xyz? /mnt/xyz?
I'm getting 40-45fps at 1080p in epic settings Ark using an i5 6600 and a msi 1070 with 16gb 2400mhz corsair vengeance ram.
This does not feel like it's supposed to happen, what could be the cause here? I'm also getting sub 60 in witcher 3 if I max both hairworks and shadows.
>>55601921
Card is also capping out at 100% from time to time.
Temps are fine, CPU trudging along at 30-35c with GPU hanging around 60-65, which is normal as the fans don't turn on below 60.

There used to be the option that CDs and DVDs would run automatically. You could also turn that on for flash drives. And ofc automatically starting code == bad things.
To my knowledge that option is gone now.

Did a reinstall of Windows on my SSD, and upon a few minutes after I get this message for my secondary HDD. I ran a chkdsk and it found no errors.

How do you add several functioning case fans to a computer build? I'll see guys with the crazy 2k builds and they'll have every fan space, so like 8-9 fans generally, all working.
And yes I've youtube'd computer builds. They always gloss over how they actually power/control the fans, they just show the instructor installing it to the case.
I'm confused because there aren't that many fan headers even on high end motherboards, are there?
Is uTorrent 2.2.1 safe to use? What are possible concerns?
>>55600765
Why is cat getting called here?
>>55602555
there are some issues. enough to switch to something better like qbittorrent or deluge. i dont know much about it, do research.
you can find a page that lists all the potential issues with U 2.2.1 its basically safe if you arent an idiot and have common sense. dont click random .torrents
What happened to this? Is it not happening anymore? Have I been meemed?
So I'm looking at this mATX motherboard and it says it has 1 Chassis Fan Connector. Is this normal? Does this mean I can only connect one chassis fan? Surely that's not right. I looked at a few others and they also only had one connector (with a few boasting two).
>>55602643
because that's what you're doing, right? you've left the command out but you're basically just runningcat /dev/random > /dev/null
zsh is using cat to do what you want
>>55602675
buy more expensive mobo, more fan connects will be
or buy decent case with fan controller
or buy fan controller yourself
or just connect fan to the psu directly
>>55602675
get a splitter or molex to 2/3pin adapters if you want more
>>55602698
Well yes, but i though it'd do some redirection magic
and what would it do if there won't be cat?
is there a way to play games on linux? i've got all these nice windows steam games and don't want them to go to waste.

Are trackpoint caps compatible across manufacturers i.e. same side and hight square peg.
I bought an HP laptop and the stock cap is horrible, so I want to replace it with a dome one.
say I were to upgrade to windows 10 before the deadline. I also want to backup my system. Will the upgrade affect anything on my STORAGE (D:) drive, or will it only affect programs on my SYSTEM (C:) drive?
Basically I'm asking/wondering if I need to cram stuff from both drives onto a portable HDD or if I can just put stuff from the system drive to save me fucking about with steam folders etc on the storage one.
This is basically because
>A, I need to backup anyway and get into the habit
>B, if I do this now I don't have to worry about coughing up for Win10 in future when it writes to my MoBo
>>55602728
that's the whole point of having a bunch of small utilities. no need to have two things do the same job. and there will be cat.
Is this possible?

Get a RPi for that.
I bought what looked like a pretty decent second-hand laptop for relatively cheap and am running Windows 7 on it, but it's been freezing all over the place.
I'm a novice at computers, honestly, but with Task Manager open I've noticed programs randomly keep spiking their processor usage, which results in everything freezing. Happens with Chrome, with Firefox, with DeSmuME...
Based on gut feeling and nothing else I think this might mean the processor's fucked somehow, but I am far from sure and hope it's just some setting somewhere that fucks me over instead of something expensive.
>>55603468
For beginners post the specifications of the laptop.

I am not understanding of Linux though. I have only Macs as that was what was given to me. (free). Can I get RPi and attach a monitor and keyboard for this project? Can I connect via wire with Internet or only wireless? Thank you very much.
>>55603647
>Which processes do this?
It depends. Usually the one I have active is the one fucking up. I've noticed it with the programs I mentioned before.
>Are they suspicious?
Depends on your definition of suspicious. I trust them enough to think they're not the problem.

Take a picture of the task manager. My suggestion is to just format the whole hdd and install windows, you have no idea what kind of keylogger the seller put on it.
>>55602104
been bumping this stupid question for 3 sqt threads now, anyone?
thanks
I set up a RAID1 volume on my 2 HDDs but windows 10 won't boot unless I'm on AHCI mode, it just gives a INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error after startup even though the boot order in the bios is correct (the OS is on another SSD), what gives?
So I got one of those Amazon fire tablets, the standard version and I'm trying to install some pirated apps, but all of them seem to have some problem with connecting to my wifi when I start that shit up.
I've got the apps from unknown developers checked, and they're installed properly. Any advice?
Is it possible to root a 910V note 4? I keep seeing different sources with different answers.
SO I bought an Asus 1070 strix http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126109
It says it has an OC mode that is turned off by default. How do I turn it on?

It's a program that searches the computer. I got it with Ninite, which I was recommended by a friend who seems to know his shit. Is it a shit program or something?
>>55603884
No, just the name was weird. Like I said, you should reinstall the whole windows, did it come with windows pre-installed?
>>55603903
>did it come with windows pre-installed?
Yeah. Dude even had badly-hidden porn still on it.
VLC supposedly has metadata-editing features, right?
If I open a file and change some of them, a "save metadata" button will appear and the metadata will be saved when I close the window (as shown by the new title displayed as the file title), but when I close VLC and reopen it, the file still has the old metadata.
Does VLC only change the metadata for that specific session, or it should change it on the file itself (and somehow it's not working for me)?
>>55603915
Backup all your important files and that porn and reinstall the os, clearly there's something wrong with the system if it freezes like that.
>>55603945
Alright. Guess I know what I'll be doing tonight, then. How do I best do a clean install?

Make sure everything is backup'd

the memory controller is on the cpu, so there shouldn't be any reason that it wont work.

some of the shit my friend (works for best jew) says is hilarious.
is the DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable that came with my Dell Ultrasharp Monitor (manufactured in 2014) 1.2 standard?
This is the text on the cable: e326508 20276 amphenol
is it degenerate to use a mini-displayport connection? will the picture quality be better with a full size displayport to displayport cable?

I am dutch, so that's just fine. Sorry for the late post, just had dinner.
That laptop should work decently. I don't like win8 or 10 but for a device like that it would be adviced. A fresh install of 8/10 would make it a lot faster.

RPi3 has wifi build in. All pi's have a HDMI output starting from the B+ they all have 4 usb ports.
>>55604183
On msi.com:
• Supports Non-ECC, un-buffered memory

Size of the connector has ab-so-lutely nothing to do with display quality.

Is there a way to backup all my texts before flashing my phone with a new ROM?
>>55604456
I use this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
backs it up into a file which you then restore later.
have used it a few times already.
I'm looking for a memepad/elitebook/probook with a decent GPU, as cheap as possible.
The probook 6470p is brety gud according to this: http://www.notebooks-center.com/hp_probook_6470b_b6p71ea.html
The Elitebook 8460p is quite similar: http://www.notebooks-center.com/hp_elitebook_8460p_lj543ut.html
My must-haves are:
-Decent GPU
-clit mouse
Is there a memepad with comparable specs/price? or maybe another manufacturer all together that also uses le clit mouse?

Can I use the bootable usb from the Media Creation Tool to install Windows 10 and then use this program on?
>>55604400
Okay, thank you. I will get it running first (screen does not work) and start from there. At basic, I can use it as typewriter and music player. Maybe I can take it apart and put in RPi and have it a hybrid.
I have other question. When I use Tor on regular sites, I am asked to solve Captcha. When I solve Captcha, the page just reloads another Captcha. I am unable to get to site, like 4chan on Tor. I have Tor on standard settings and have been unable to find answer on how to solve.
Currently I have 2 60Hz monitors. I mainly game on one and have a movie/show/Youtube on the other while I play. If I upgrade the gaming one to 144Hz and keep the other 60Hz, will it cause problems?
I bought a used Samsung note n7000 last year, after using for sometime I put a custom rom and used for at least 8months. After sometime the battery started to get really shit and died. So I bought another one, it is chinese, however.
The thing is that I did the 12h charge circle, used for a day now I'm trying to recharge again and it isn't even working, I turn off the cellphone, plugged with the original cable and isn't charging anything, it still at 0%.
I guess I need to unnistall the custom rom asap? What it might be? What can i do?

Two questions.
1) I use an old T61 and run Xubuntu in XFCE because it's lighter, but every time I start it up I have to manually switch to XFCE. Is there a way to make Xubuntu automatically start XFCE upon booting?
2) Anyone have an issue adding podcasts in the Clementine music player? The application, in general, doesn't seem to save any changes I make in the configurations section.

I want to store an encrypted container on my Synology NAS that I can open and read from my laptop. Any recommendations on what to use?
Could I just drop a TrueCrypt file on my NAS and open it normally?
>>55605326
sure, that's what I do.
I got a 2TB container on a samba share.
>>55605326
yes, but use veracrypt instead...
Does anyone know if there are any briuck and mortar stores that sell the loaded version of the non-touch XPS 13? I'm going on a week long trip soon and don;t have time to wait for shipping. I couple of places have the 4GB RAM + 128GB SDD, but not 4+256. It's really annoying. :(
>>55605337
Sweet, thanks.
>>55605353
VeraCrypt is pretty new and untested though right? It also broke compatibility with normal TrueCrypt files.
>>55605383
just get 2 day shipping from amazon?
>>55605395
use veracrypt, it's a truecrypt fork.
using it since truecrypt killed itself and never had a problem
>>55605395
I cant speak with any certainty about compatibility with truecrypt, I just made new containers after I switched to veracrypt. but in terms of stability and what not I have had zero issue using it for around 2 months.
Should I get any of these?
>>55605434
dont get the windows ones or you may get cucked into w10

for some reason my router spams ARP for every possible address from 192.1.1.2-254 at random intervals between 10 - 50 seconds.
any idea why this would be happening? at first i thought i had malware on my pc but after i tried everything i know i installed wireshark and the ping spikes in games match the ARP spam
>>55605576
Memes, rating languages based on their percieved difficulty, misinformation (in the LoTR alaogy to programming languages but I didn't read the whole chart), potential of recommending a poorly fit language to a newbie, and shilling for some website called carlcheo.com
>>55605655
The chart has a strong preference for python and java for no reason.
Python definitely isn't the best way to learn programming.
>>55605655

>The chart has a strong preference for python and java for no reason.
Where specifically do you feel that way, which part, what should be there instead?

Why not? What should be recommended in its place?
>>55605688
what memes?
what rating by difficulty you consider utterly wrong?
what misinformation specifically?

No, because they were both already divided into multiple partitions until I deleted it all to undo everything. I can't join them together like I normally would when installing a clean OS, so they must be two separate drives.
