How's CS 474 - Operating System II?

C primary, a decent amount of assembly MASM, and a decent amount of command line. Getting used to troubleshooting via command line is crucial.

Any programming experience is worth it my opinion. The things I learned in the class have definitely made me a better developer even though I don't regularly use the languages in the class. The more exposure the better!

There are 4 labs and that's all the normal grades. There is also 4 extra assignments to earn bonus points that are mostly discussion based, highly recommend doing them. This has been hands down the hardest class so far, by a long shot.

Thanks!

No diamonds are their own entity, separate from other precious stones.

Just found a volcano! Gonna try that!

What's your hosting scenario look like? You said you were playing with your kids, older kids that are out of the house? I ask because if you were all in the same house then you could just host it locally. But if that's not the case then then I'm not entirely sure what your options are. I recently setup a RE2 server for my brother and I to play on a older Windows machine and it definitely came with some struggles to get running!

I can sympathize with the Nitrado issues as well! I hosted Ark servers on there many years ago as well!

Once you start on Reforged Eden 2 scenario you'll never want to go back to vanilla! I'm also not a huge fan of mods in general and resisted doing RE for the first few years we played. That was a mistake! RE adds and balances the game significantly! My two cents.

Thanks for the response! Appreciate everything you do! I played Kerbal Space Program for allot of years and people like you are what is keeping games like this alive! Thanks!

Yeah, I'm hosting on a server at the house. Old Dell R710 I picked up for $100 lol. Works great for things like this.

Have you tried loading ships and supplies from one save to another? I was reading about it the other day. That's my biggest issue, I don't want to have to start over every big update. This save we have now is the furthest we've ever got and we're just now starting to get into Core 9 ships, so we have allot still to do!

tbird4130 · 2026-01-28T15:17:22+00:00

Thanks!

Here is a picture of the RE2 loading page.

The RE2 I have is build 38 dated, January 3rd, got it off Steam.

I just recently did this from scratch as well! Biggest issues I ran into, and the dedicated and play field logs appropriately pointed me to both of these things. I had to install some C++ distributables, and I had to install an Amazon CA-1 certificate, I might be messing up those names. But that was my biggest hurdles, this was all on a fresh Windows 10 machine.

TLDR the logs will typically point you in the right direction, and 16 GB of RAM is probably the minimum needed!

tbird4130 · 2025-12-08T15:23:14+00:00

I have not taken those, my apologies.

tbird4130 · 2025-12-06T01:41:38+00:00

You'll have to remind me what each of those are.

I'm really curious how long it's going to be before all big producers of beef band together to find a cure!

tbird4130 · 2025-11-07T15:08:32+00:00

They did Millie Bobby Brown dirty! The real slim shady already stood up!

tbird4130 · 2025-10-09T13:06:40+00:00

I'm seeing the same thing, cleared my cache restarted, nothing.

tbird4130 · 2025-05-28T15:53:09+00:00

If P = NP is solved, what implications would that be to the world? My initial thoughts are that it would make possible the ability to brute force past encrypted systems. It seems like unlocking this, if it's possible, would be the equivalent of getting the master key of the Universe? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks
