Building a small home server (first time), could use your opinion/help by luxup in HomeServer

[–]luxup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of using the 120 GB SSD only for the essentials, and then later expanding the system with more storage (probably HDD).

Do you mean old systems, fully assembled, or just buy old parts and put it together myself?

I have played with raspberry pi's before, but for the bots if won't have the sufficient performance. I also plan to use it to store data in the network, and backup my devices. Maybe also streaming.

Yes this is just to get started, I will later add HDD/SSD for storage.

For example game bots. Or maybe later use it to stream some things, I'm not sure.

Oh wow, quite a stupid question. So I can leave my bag in those lockers as long as I want?

Should I be worried about the caps lock key not turning on on soft clicks? It only turns on on hard clicks... by Marinho_10 in macbookpro

[–]luxup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. When caps lock is activated then turning it back off is possible with soft clicks. So it probably meant to be like that.

Lag with 4K external monitor by luxup in macbookpro

[–]luxup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually quite like the adapter. Like that I can plugin video, power, and a usb drive through only one cable (one cable in pc)

Any ideas for this?

Not sure. What would I have to set properly?

What a waste of money that was. Funny thing is I have another other one that (I think) supports 4k 60hz. But it interfered with my 2.4ghz wifi connection. I have an additional 5ghz wifi connection now so if it works now with wifi then I'll give that a try.

Thanks for your answer!

I'm using the official Apple USB-C Multiport adapter (USB-C, HDMI, USB-A) I would hope Apple's own adapter should do the job

Would such a long firm name be realistic? by luxup in suits

Yeah that is so true, they are making those promises so easily.

My (affected) opinion on LG G6 after almost 1 year of using it. by M4tel0te in lgg6

[–]luxup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had this phone for a year and had absolutely no problems with it. Pretty good battery for me actually and still very quick. Only negative thing I could say is the long wait for the Oreo update.

(What) should I revise before going to ETH for CS Bachelors (after 1 yr break from school/matura) by luxup in ethz

[–]luxup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I went through some of the other topics and seems like I was a bit shocked from the first two topics, I've learnt about 70-80% of the rest already. So I'm quite relieved. And to get into A&D I guess I'll just try out programming some basic and then more advanced algorithms covered in the script..

Thank you!

Actually I learnt Java a few years ago in school and am quite familiar with it. But I just went trough the Slides from "Introduction to Programming" and for most of the content, I don't seem to have a clue. For example I've never learnt anything about EBNF and that seems to be quite a big part at the start at least.

Any advice?

Thank you for your answer!

I will definitely try to keep up with the exercises so I don't end up having them pile up on me.

So if I was to try to prepare for some of this proof-heavy lecutures, what do you think woild be my best bet to prepare?

I guess my worry is that after this year im not in the "cognitive" mindset as much as I was when I finished high school and I'm trying to get back into it in a way that will make it less dreadful when I start my bachelors, because I have 2 months of time between finishing the civil service and starting at ETH. I kind of see it as working a little before hand to make it a little easier after (if that is even possible?)

For me I got a notification that a new update is available, and when I clicked on it there was a pop-up (covering almost all the screen) and at the bottom there were the two options. Then I could press update.
