Yeah, your computer will be disgusting if you smoke near it. And nobody will want to work on it. Unless everyone in your country is smoking a lot, in which case; it's probably normal. It will clog up your heatsinks and fans with more or less sticky dust that will be hard to clean. I don't want...

Looks like your ssd is taking a smoke break between clumps of data. Personally, I don't trust Inland SSDs, because I've one of their SATA ssds that tests worse than a spinning drive. But it was cheap. Maybe make sure trim is working and you have a good amount of free space (20%+ preferred) Try...

Music has a backstop of mechanical licensing for certain uses (radio style play, covers) which means, worst case you listen to a radio style stream customized to be related songs to what you want to hear or even worse but possible, you listen to covers of your favorite songs by the streaming...

Convince George Lucas of that one...

Did you have a TI-8x graphing calculator? Most of those had a z80. (Not the TI-89 which was a 68k)

I could easily be wrong, but I'd assume a Netapp Disk Shelf is going to work with a Netapp Filer and that's it. If you want that many disks, I'd look for something supermicro, maybe hp/dell. They do make some with just a backplane and no server board, so don't buy that unless that's what you want.

Do you wear eyeglasses? Have you gotten new ones lately? I've had a couple sets with some terrible polycarbonite lenses and it's pretty ugh. Gotta spend more and get trivex or glass.

If you don't like Intel ME, that's fine, don't use a NIC that's wired for it. I think it's gotta be a motherboard NIC, but if you've got multiple NICs on the motherboard, probably only one will be wired up. Typically, you can disable PXE, both in your bios and on the card ... you might be able...

Yeah, the adapters go both ways, so pay attention.

Put the case under the desk / behind the monitor. Can't see it, it's not a problem.

AM4 was 24, AM5 is 28. There's an extra x4 for a second m.2 or a cpu direct slot. I don't think you can split it out to say 4 x1 slots though. I think I've seen a lot of newer designs where sata shares serdes pins, so you're picking a sata port or an pci-e lane. I guess you could probably have...

Double check that. Pretty sure it's PCIe 3.0. The first slot is a cpu direct slot, and the second is through the chipset. The chipset is on an x4 link to the cpu, so everything behind it is bottlenecked on that, but that's probably not a huge bottleneck unless you're using the scratch disk at...

Sweet, my budget server is now 3 branding cycles behind ;) (it's the last gen before the 26xx series)

Speaker placement is all about tradeoffs, and Atmos vertical mixing is going to be done with that in mind. Not many people are going to have perfect setups, and whatever you have is going to be ok. I wouldn't plan to move your front heights. Put them wherever and keep them there. You can put...

Even if Intel did get wound down, their patents would be sold, not abandoned. That said, patents are 20 years right? I think that gets you SSE3 as patent free, and that's around what you need for Windows 10?

Oh man, I should get some screenshots of my NES emulator... No sound, no input, no sprites... 3 seconds per frame. Only supports the simplest mapler. The donkey kong title screen looks alright last I checked.

There's a pretty big pipeline on these things, and I think the consortium decided to push towards a faster release cycle after pci-e 4.0, because 7 years was too long.

Sure, but if you can set LD_PRELOAD for the main sshd or otherwise mess with libraries that sshd loads, you almost certainly have root and can replace the sshd binary, or force inject whatever you want. But I agree, it's a silly dependency to add. But distributions do silly things all the time...

If you trust your distribution's sshd binary, in general, you should also trust the rest of the software the distribution ships... It's not exactly just any version... It's the version that's installed, otoh, linking fewer libraries is better, especially when libsystemd pulls in a lot of stuff...

I don't think they will. The FreeBSD driver in main is readable source. The realtek driver really isn't, it's full of magic constants with no explanation of what they do. I spent some time trying to figure out what was going on with my realtek 1G NIC. If the realtek source was less magic, I'd...

The realtek driver does some things better, but I'd still avoid their 1G nics if you can. I don't know about their 2.5G nics, I have some usb realtek 2.5G nics, but no drivers for FreeBSD when I checked (was a while ago though). Personally, I've been upgrading with older intel 10G for my LAN...

PCIe switches got real expensive.

Doesn't make sense because some hard drive problems are complete failures. Issues with the electronics and firmware can go from working to not very fast. If a head crashes into a platter that can get real bad real fast, too. Better to mirror to a separate device for real time protection (even...

Sounds like the same things when I've worked in proprietary code with mandatory code review. Although less likely to get away with Reviewed-by: Self.

Mostly, people aren't looking over open source code. It's great that you can, but it's clear that very few do. And even if you do see something that looks weird, most of the time you just quietly use something else. Or hold you nose and use it, because OpenSSL may be bad, but GnuTLS is worse...

NGINX is too much code for this. We went with stud, the Varnish folks restarted development for stud as hitch.

Yeah, so there's nm that I think doesn't run the exe, but you'd need to fiddle with options to get similar output, and it doesn't examine the linked libraries for their dependencies. Otherwise, maybe you've got to run ldd in a sandbox?

Heads up, in case you weren't aware. Dynamic linking is dark arts, running ldd on an untrusted executable is actually dangerous. A malicious executable can get code execution if you examine it with ldd.

Yeah, my company had been putting off the update to openssl 1.0.2 because updating openssl is a giant PITA. But we finally did, cause people were whining about TLS 1.2 and/or diffie-hellman ephemeral / perfect forward security... And then a month later, heartbleed. Which wasn't in openssl 1.0.0...

Plenty of history of famiclones in Russia. But modern consoles are pretty much computers or smart phones. If they can make a domestic computerphone, then it's just about pirating or cloning popular games to run on the thing. Of course, it's nice if there's domestic creation of completely new...

Sexy anthropomorphic animals, right?

If you insist on mounting the speakers for best results (ear level), you end up needing the center behind an audio transparent projector screen. But nobody is going to do that for a computer workstation. (I'm assuming this is a computer workstation, because we're in the computer audio forum)...

They've done a lot of backwards compatibility. Wii plays gamecube. Wii U plays Wii. GBC plays gameboy. GBA plays GBC and GB. DS plays GBA. 3DS plays DS. Switch, Gamecube, N64, SNES weren't though. Could go either way, but launching a new console with no library seems like a bad bed today. Otoh...

I picked one up at a thrift store not too long ago. It's not bad for games that don't need analog sticks. Can't go wrong for a buck. Would I pay $10-$20? Heck no, lots of better options for that money, even if it's just an adapter to use a console controller I have sitting around.

Fyi, you wanna say 'sorry for my bad English'. 'Bad language' would be using curse words.

Why not just leave the whole thing on overnight? It's definitely at least worth checking SMART and doing a (long) self-test, although some firmware is going to lie. On an active disk, it's hard to do a full test, but maybe there's something that will write a few gigs and see what happens.

There's two pretty solid standards for wire color. Standard 1: black : ground, red: 5v, yellow: 12v, orange: 3.3v, etc. Standard 2: black: everything. Standard 2 is a lot more popular these days. But if your cables and your PSU were marked by color standards, at least you could see something...

Yeah, fix the GFCI, the more they trip, the easier they trip, a new one might be all you need. But look into a temp monitor for in the freezer, too. That solves the issue of knowing if there's no power as well as freezer broke. I've got one from govee, but I can't really recommend it cause I...

Did you buy it in a retail box? Or from Microsoft directly? If not, it's not retail.

He's got a dual port QSFP+ ... 32Gbps pci-e bandwidth for 80Gbps network bandwidth is pretty meh.
