This has been on my mind for a while now; what parts can I get that don't make too much of a difference when building a pc?
First the Motherboard:
People say, always get a pricey one, but the mid-range seem to do the job just fine.
Power Supply:
Everyone says you can fuck this up if you don't get your Pc + OC power + 20%. Even if you aren't going to OC.
Monitor:
This, I feel isnt discussed enough. It determines what GPU you want to use. So you can get a cheap one of these.
PSU:
Just getting the standard i5 6600k, i7 6700k...

Not gonna even try to explain this.
She was early 30s at most too.
My sisters converts her mp3s to FLAC because "the quality is better"
What will happen if I never update the Arch again?
Nothing, right? Isn't that the appeal of Linux?
You invest a ton of time fine-tuning your installation and once you're done, you're set forever, right?
What would be the point of using Linux if it updates as much as Windows and you have to constantly re-tune everything?
>>55228494
>not updating Arch at least twice a day
It will break down eventually like it has in the past. It's just as jewy as windows update except you now have a "choice" if and when you want to do it
So, my job is largely in audiovisual and graphical development, and I also do scanning. Largely freelance film restoration, text restoration, and encoding jobs.
I have always had to use Windows for my media tools. I do use GIMP before Photoshop if its doable, but GIMP lacks in both the powerfulness of tools, and in the Photoshop plugins which I employ to achieve the best quality in my work. While Avisynth can run on Linux through WINE, there is no comparison for my Adobe-oriented workflow.
I am a long standing user of UNIX and Linux systems, but I have always...

Windows 10 doesn't "leak data", you fell for a meme
>>55228442
i think youre full of shit son
im not an expert but windows 7 is and will be for years the dominating os in corporations, unless they actually start to force-update peoples computers. and those big expensive scanners and printers are always geared torwards corporations.
are you sure your scanners are really losing support? can you provide a sauce of some sort?
anyway for your actual question. again im not an expert but your job sounds like it could be for the most part done offline. do that. never connect...

How do I set up a secure home server for myself? Is it really complicated and expensive or can I buy/build one on the cheap?
Does anyone here own one themselves?
How about you bing it
>>55228438
a server is just a computer, do you have an old $10 computer from a thrift shop? a raspberry pi for $30? if so you have a server.
>>55228457
I only use duckduckgo
Girls just use technology...they don't truly appreciate it like us.
>>55228383
False
You can make a case that they appreciate it more, by just using it a moving on with their lives, rather than obsessing about small aspects of it
If it makes you feel better than them, sure.
>>55228383
Some girls like technology. Some don't.
Christ you autists are upset about not getting laid.
Just bought a new proliant dl380 g5, its neat plan on maybe making a vps. Does any body know if their is a setting in the bios to enable the optical drive? It won't eject or flash but it is plugged in.
*dl360
Could be a dead drive. What are you trying to install? Could use a USB to boot it.

Did that, esxi. Just wandered if maybe I was doing something wrong.

I just bought a Gamecube, and I want to play homebrew. However, i've never learned soldering, so I'd like to just softmod. Is the PSO hack the only way now? I can't find the SD Media launcher anywhere (codejunkies sells them, but they're out of stock on the us site and buying it from the uk site costs me nearly US$50). And the action replay has gotten some... iffy reviews.
I'd also like to stay away from the Wii methods (again, no soldering experience, so no wii modchips).
help plz
>inb4 lurn 2 soldur feggit
Bump for interest.
I too have a gamecube that I would love to softmod.
>>55228154
softmod a wii instead

WHY
is Windows really this much of a mess to develop?
after reading through this, it's no wonder why macOS and Linux are so much better.
Holy shit, where are this insider's original posts?
>>55228756
i wish i knew. i grabbed this as a repost from some other thread a while back and have been trying to track down more information, no luck.
>>55228152
Yes. Personally know devs who worked at MS with who I have worked together and they told me amazing things you would not believe.
What's your favourite little feature more programming languages should have?
For me it's lisp's threading macro / elxir's pipe.
>>55228147
for me its lisp's "this-language-is-not-utter-shit-to-work-with"
more languages should definietly have that
>>55228173
Trivial thing, but kebab-case is neat, too.

Python's context managers are pretty neat.with open('myfile') as f:

C is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot
of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much
easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if
the choice of asm were to do *nothing* but keep the C programmers out,
that in itself would be a huge reason to use asm.
In other words: the choice of asm is the only sane choice. I know Miles
Bader jokingly said "to piss you off", but it's actually true. I've come
to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be
in C over asm is likely a programmer that I really *would* prefer to piss
off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with.
C leads to really really bad design choices. You invariably start using
the "nice" library features of the language like stdlib and stdio and other
total and utter crap, that may "help" you program, but causes:
- infinite amounts of pain when they don't work (and anybody who tells me
that stdlib and especially stdio are stable and portable is just so full
of BS that it's not even funny)
- inefficient abstracted programming models where two years down the road
you notice that some abstraction wasn't very efficient, but now all
your code depends on all the nice typedef models around it, and you
cannot fix it without rewriting your app.
In other words, the only way to do good, efficient, and system-level and
portable C ends up to limit yourself to all the things that are
basically available in asm. And limiting your project to asm means that people
don't screw that up, and also means that you get a lot of programmers that
do actually understand low-level issues and don't screw things up with any
idiotic "portable assembler" crap.
Whatever, dude. Why don't you crawl back to your mommy - shes the only one that ever understood you anyway.

Programming in Assembly sucks ass, and it's not like you can do better than a compiler unless you're a wizard

Non sequitur in the second sentence, well done OP.
