Hey /g/, what is the best single board computer in your opinion.

Depends on what you want to do with it, dickhead

Is an alternate DNS a meme?
>>52430671
No, just less politically structured than the standard DNS root servers.
No. ISPs sometimes do really shitty things like redirecting searches to their own shitty search engine. Using an alternate DNS server prevents that.
>>52430679
How? If your ISP blocks a site, having an alternate DNS makes no difference.

/g/ what laptop backpack do you use? I'm looking for a good fucking backpack for a 17 inch laptop. I used to have a targus bag and it took a shit on me and started falling apart within a month. Fucking disgusting.
>>52430305
>17 inch laptop
MADMAN
Crumpler is gud. Why the fuck do you have a 17 inch laptop?
>>52430305
>17 inch laptop
At this point you stop looking for a backpack and start looking for straps to carry it around whole.
When was the last time you did an offline block level optimisation of your drives /g/?
Tell me you do this.
Tell me you keep your files contiguous across the disk?

Synthesizer thread?
They're technology too.
I recently got my hands on a Minimoog Voyager and I'm wondering what the best compliments would be for it.
Suggestions wanted: I'm thinking either some moogerfooger bits or starting a eurorack build.
Show me what you all have and why you like it.
not actually a synth player but there aren't many key players on /g/ so I'm going to contribute anyways. my romplers
Nord Electro5D 61 key
Korg SP250 88 key (slave keybed for the Nord)
I like the nord because it is "bitimbral", it generates sounds for the slave board and treats them both separately.
I'm a piano fag but I use all kinds of sounds with my band and the Nord supports custom samples
>>52430332
Oh I also have a Waldorf Blofeld synth, the desktop version. I honestly find it super boring, if it had dedicated knobs for the fun bits it would be a bit more fun to twiddle with but I decided instead I just dont like bleeps, bloops, sweeps, or swoops. I'm not sure how anybody finds them interesting, I'd be happy to hear your take on it. I just can't into enjoying sound synthesis
>>52430277
Are we including modular synths?
That would be my realm. /industrial-metal
Just found out that I had shitty eye sight.
now that I have glasses for the first time, I enjoy reading so much more.
and its odd to say but the trees, the dirt, hell even cement looks amazing now.
glasses are technology. how long did it take for you to find out you needed glasses and what was it like to get them?
I am 22 and just got mine, 20/40 20/35 vision
I've had glasses since the third grade. Took me almost half a year before I wore them in school. Half of it was because I thought I didn't really need them and half because I was a bit scared people would tease me for them but no one did and most of the other students thought they were cool. Since then I've worn glasses/contacts for practically everything except sleeping. Life's just so much more fun when you can see what's going on around you.
>>52430164
I got mine at 28. My eyesight wasn't always terrible, so I assume I ruined it by spending so much time staring at computer monitors. I didn't really realise just how bad it'd gotten though. The eye test really opened my butt to just how much I was missing.
I still find wearing the glasses kind of irritating though. I've also never worn them outside the house, because they look retarded as fuck. I have a pair of prescription sunglasses too that I wear when I can get away with it, but I can...

I've had glasses since 1st grade, shit sucks and I feel bad for my eyes.
Created a new thread because I can't find one. Dunno what the last one was.
Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).

It's been patched. Problem solved.
>When you exit it tells you that there are projects with unsaved changed, but offers no option to save and quit, you must exit the dialog and go back and save manually
So this... is open source software.
It's open source just make the changes yourself!
>>52429733
Just recompile it!
I'm thinking of trying Illustrator right now because Inkscape is hard to intuitively pick up. I thought I'd have the freedom to do certain things but even after looking up how to do them they are still a pain.
I love the feeling of open source software but I am not going to suffer for it. I always hope that the the free thing outshines or is at least comparable to proprietary alternatives but it is not always so.
so my PC can't exactly run a lot of games on high settings it could just be my resolution (my native is 1680x1050) but i thought i'd just ask if my specs are good and if i have any weak links if someone could point them out to me i'd very much appreciate it.

Cable vs DSL
