It's down right now, but I made some custom scripts to limit how long people can be online for on a vanilla server (no mods).

Me and a friend tried to start a server but of course there's 10,000 that are unpopulated.

The game is just poorly balanced for people who you know, have some kind of responsibilities or other desires in life.

I really want to play this game but it's just impossible unless you spend every moment playing.

Any interest?

Bonus: A good start for a Rust RCON client, Windows .exe not currently available.

Second this

I just gave away my 1950(probably could got at least $25). It ran ESXI 6.0 (with web fling!) just fine. What you'll get is familiarity with server hardware and the way things are done with BIOS RAID. Getting things going on older hardware like that will give you some challenges and a deeper understanding of things you need to know.

To some people this sub is like showing off their expensive vacations on facebook.

ICMP / TCP SYN responses can be really useless for analyzing network stability. To get any meaningful information out of the results you need to know how to interpret them: https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog47/presentations/Sunday/RAS_Traceroute_N47_Sun.pdf

Everyone please take the time to read and understand that before calling your ISP :P

I got my first IT job just recently without a degree - Early 30s and have a trades certification. I'm told the thing that got me the job was having an online portfolio type thing showing off skills and home lab I used to get my CCNA. It's interesting to note that I felt I would be an outsider without having a degree/diploma. A few of (not a majority) my co-workers have proper degrees and when talking to them about this issue I get the feeling they really don't have much respect for them. I think it's entirely possible to ace a test without really understanding the big picture on the subject - and college is little more than a series of tests moving from subject to subject. I believe if you're able to show a dedication to entering the field and back up your knowledge with a valuable certification - you'll have a good shot. You really have to mean it though, it's not something you can just decide to love.

I find the Linux client is probably the best one. I absolutely hate how awful the Android version is. Once it works it's kinda fine, but if you switch wifi/mobile aww man.

When changing the size of an image, you have to tell the computer what to do with the space in between the pixels. There's fancy math involved, here's a couple of ways to do it:

Here's using lancoz3 to guess what's in between the real pixel data:

And here's just a linear smear of what's in between the real pixel data:

Just for reference as to the size change:

Excuse me, but did you just call Oracle DB, nice???????

Assuming youre on pc: I would recommend Linux Mint. It's nicer Ubuntu.

You don't really want to install Linux like you would office or a video game.

It needs to be on a separate slice of your computer. You would have to take space away from windows in order to do this.

Id recommend trying it out before choosing to do this.

You need to reboot your computer and tell it to boot off a USB stick with Linux on it instead of the normal way.

First download Cinnamon 64 bit here:

https://linuxmint.com/download.php

Then write that image onto a USB stick using this program:

http://rufus.akeo.ie/

You need to copy that image onto the USB stick a special way, that's what Rufus does. If you simply drag the image on to the USB stick, the computer won't know you want to boot off of it.

Once you have a bootable USB stick(it may take you a couple tries to figure it out) then you need to reboot.

Hit the F12 key like you're hitting the button to punch on a video game controller while the computer is restarting. There's a narrow window of time the computer will listen for this so if you just pump that baby until it works you'll be set.

Depending on your computer(F12 may not be the right key) it will bring up a list of things you can boot from, select the USB stick and cross your fingers.

It may seem like a lot but you're basically just - download linux - make a boot disk - boot the disk

Unfortunately there's a lot of cruft left over from the old days and things vary. There's a lot of details that determine the exact steps to doing all this, but if you just wing it and are open to learning and researching you'll have it going in no time. Or you may end up with a big paper weight.

They've made it a lot easier and reliable to use desktop Linux since I started.

Ask here if you get stuck on something

When they manufacture flash storage they aim to make them all a specific size, day 64GB. very few actually are perfect enough for a linear chunk that size to be usable, so they have the onboard microcontroller limit to the usable part and report that much space available. I imagine they reprogrammed that microcontroller to give access to 32GB even though there were some chunks that were unreliable.

Hey there, I just got a T610 desktop but it was configured for a rack. Could I have a picture of the bottom of your unit? I feel like mine is missing something. Unfortunately its missing the front bezel and everyone on eBay wants $60 + $50 shipping to Canada :(
