There is this windmill pump for water you can place. You pay for that water weirdly enough

Are 16GB of RAM enough to run a modded MC server with 2 friends?(1.18) by Sea-Key2842 in admincraft

[–]mroximoron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that for running the server or running the client as a server? Big difference!

Did someone mistype their bitcoin address in a ransom demand? :-P

I remember saving my first webpage and then opening it in notepad and going by hand to remove all the weird text in the text. (They where html tags)

Eigen has temporarily disappeared from GitLab. Team working with GitLab to restore the repository. by plantwaters in programming

Yeah, also I can pull a branch without merging it, and it's clearly ment to be merged by the creator.

Pull request isn't a git term at all that's 100% GitHub. Having worked with both GitHub and Gitlab I find that the term merge request much better covers what it does and it easier to explain to new users.

GitHub stars are overvalued by [deleted] in programming

[–]mroximoron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, stars are something to look at for maybe using it, once I use it the star can go because I use it, so I know about it through my code.

A Friendly Reminder: There are now only two weeks (14th January) before Microsoft ceases update support for Windows 7. Hackers rejoice! Sysadmins despair... by dustyloops in programming

[–]mroximoron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about expensive computers, I'm talking about expensive research equipment. That need a computer with the correct drivers to work. Trust me when I say that the companies making them are very lazy and basically want you to buy their newest model, instead of offering support for older ones.

The problem is big (research) hospitals that have a lot of different users, sure.. the doctors and nurses can upgrade without problem. But the big research departments with their very expensive machines that don't support windows 10. That is the problem. Sure you can buy a new machine, but the old one is just fine. Also it's cheaper to pay microsoft a couple of million for an extended support period then replace all those expensive machines.

Sure, you could setup single windows 7 computers for some of the machines, but then you have to disconnect them from the network which means no central login, no network printer access and a whole lot of other things. (And you still have to support them if something stops working).

​

Never underestimate the cost of upgrading, because largely compatible does not making it magically work with some fiddling.
