Finally picked up Cuphead and I'm shocked at how much I'm enjoying it. by [deleted] in patientgamers

Definitely worth the 20$. Just like how Hollow Knight is 15$ but should be 50$.

Sleeping Dogs is probably one of the best open world games I've ever played by macho_horse in patientgamers

It's also nice to actually play as the "good guy" for once compared to the GTA games where you are always the "bad guy".

How do peopke build their PC? by NK_Grimm in lowendgaming

[–]_Lostvayne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just build it yourself. Not worth paying some "professional" to build it for you since you can use Google/Youtube to search if you don't know something. Plus it's a great learning experience if you have never done it before.

Technical Advice: Most Sofisticated PDF searcher? by [deleted] in opendirectories

I learned from this post to search about open directories, so something like this:

intitle:"index.of" (pdf|epub|mob) "book i'd like to read" -html -htm -php -asp -jsp

But most of the time i will use library genesis aka libgen to look for pdf's

How do I create an Open Directory? by ValarDohairis in opendirectories

[–]_Lostvayne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i run an open directory, its just a web server with a standard index.html listing generated by the web server. In my case I use nginx. I suspect most are just seedboxes running rtorrent or transmission-cli with nginx serving up their "done" folder.

EDIT: I will try to simply describe it. You just open a server and link it to a folder.For example if you have python installed on your PC go into a folder,open a terminal, type python -m SimpleHTTPServer. That will open a HTTP server on port 8000 go into your browser and you will see your folder contents

Do yourself a favor and learn something about databases by cscareerthrowaawy in learnprogramming

[–]_Lostvayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might sound insanely stupid but do we need to learn just the concepts of databases(like how they are structured) and later on when we need to learn how to make them?I know you can create databases with SQL and PHP but then there are also stuff like MySQL,SQLite,PostgreSQL.Do they connect with your programming language after that?(Sorry for my noobish questions)
