    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I like the part where he says running cable isn't an option and you recommend he runs cable to it. What's he supposed to do, just drape the cable across the lawn? Being a cunt aside, getting a wire run out to the garage is honestly your best option unfortunately. As above, powerline stuff is...

    Virtualization (VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, ...)

    You're vmotioning VMs between physical datacenters? Madness I say! Anyway, you positive all the nodes you are using have 10g links on them, and the 10g links are the nics assigned for vmotion and management traffic? Our nodes for example have 10g pci nics in them, but that connects to storage...

    Roguelikes - which did you play?

    Dungeons of Dredmor is probably the best actual rogue-like game on the market; at least in the sense its most like the old games. It's pretty solid, but inventory management is kind of a pain in the dick and gets pretty tedious. FTL is very, very good but is only really "rogue-like" in the...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    2 hours of commute each way sounds like literal hell to me. I'm trying to imagine a salary at which I'd find that kind of thing tenable and boy is it rapidly growing to a ridiculous number.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Yea that happened to me too. I started off fucking hating every minute of it, but after a couple of weeks once I had some actual endurance and could cover a few miles without feeling like I was going to die it became oddly cathartic. I still do about 3.5 miles a few times a week around the park...

    Tobacco Thread, it's glorious and we should quit.

    Maybe I just don't smoke enough to get the cough like people always talk about. I also have no idea how you smoke an entire pack in a single day. Nevermind the fact that it makes me feel like death if I get shrecked on a weekend and burn most of a pack at a bar, but how the hell do you find the...

    Time Magazines' top 50 video games of all time

    Yea uhh, I have problems with this list (shocking!). Tomb Raider deserves to be nowhere on there; it was good, but nothing spectacular or really memorable. It's on there over Last of Us? Fallout 3 is on there over New Vegas/Fallout 2? Come on. Portal 2 over Portal? Starcraft 2 over Starcraft? No...

    Tobacco Thread, it's glorious and we should quit.

    Meh, I started at like 24 or so? Was working a shitty retail job after college and hated every minute of it, but all the management smoked and it was an easy way to spend like an hour+ of every workday outside doing nothing rather than dealing with customers and shit. Unfortunately it kinda...

    DOTA 2

    I finally decided to do my calibrations and uhhh, is regular ranked any better than this? Because these are the worst games of dota I think I've ever played. Holy fuck it's like a parody of itself with people screaming at each other in voice chat in various mud languages, afking/feeding cause...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    What a fucking hot mess this was. There were some individual bits that were fine (mostly Harley and Boomerang), but the whole thing felt like it was edited together in one night of coke-fueled insanity. None of has any kind of flow, or progression, or buildup, it's just a slapdash of scenes only...

    MTG thread

    Fair bit of cash in there. Obvious stuff like the duals aside, english legends Karakas are damn near 100$ per, blood moons are close to 50. Some random uncommons like top and kitchen finks are north of 15$ per. Nearly all the alpha/beta stuff is worth money, but can be difficult to sell...

    Did my first speculation on MTGO. Purchased like 40 copies of harmless offering at .03 tickets per a couple days ago, they are up to .5 tickets already today cause one dude is doing well with a donate deck in standard. I've made literally like, dozens of dollars! Edit: offerings up over a full...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yea I had to start over as pugilist today as it turns out that's required for ninja, and was able to do like 1-12 pretty damn quick just punching mobs and doing fates when they pop up. I've still got some quests left in the teens range I can do so getting to 15 shouldn't be a huge deal, then...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I suppose with my friendship hat and my "new ring" or whatever giving 60% bonus xp it wouldn't be back to blow through like 1-20 on a secondary class. I do really want to roll a tank class of some kind to take advantage of the duty finder rewards. I'm on Behemoth, and it's been 100% tank rewards...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    How do you go about leveling up 2nd classes? I seem to have burned all the existing level like 1-15 classes in all three cities. Do you just have to straight fates? Feels like it'd be slow as balls without bear asses to turn in.

    Hmm didn't know you could do that with the subs. I get two retainers by default? Time to go fuckin hire another slave then. The one I have now has been tied up 100% trying to sell my botany crap on the market. Some of this stuff is worth its weight in gold, but a lot of it seems entirely...

    Chains is my most tutored card with Zur where I play. So much stupid infinite draw and combo garbage floating around. Hiding behind solitary confinement + chains + necropotence is just like my favorite thing ever right now.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I wound up just making an entirely new toon, mostly cause I couldn't really figure out what to do at 50 and also so I can be a weeby catboy. Made it to 15 on lancer and am dicking around on botanist now. I think I want to go rogue/ninja, but I don't see guilds for them anywhere? Are they...

    Is paladin that bad? I just logged back in that's my only 50 class. I don't really remember how to play so I'm likely going to start over anyway. Can I use it for a sub job or anything at least?

    I can't see any flaws in the display on it. Came from a Nexus 5, so the extra .5 inches doesn't seem enough to actually make any of the pentile issues noticeable. Reception is hard to say unfortunately. I'm on Tmobil, which has a pretty big LTE band 12 network in Chicago that my Nexus 5 didn't...

    Cannot recommend the OnePlus3 enough. For 400$ it's about as good as a phone is going to get. Huge battery, well built, slim, packs all the bells and whistles (even double sim if you do international at all). Only place it even falls a little bit short is it isn't rocking 1440p screen, but that...

    Dead horse time but holy fuck, get out of that shit immediately. If you've had those kinds of issues from day one demand a full return/refund and go right to your credit company if they don't comply. If you're with any major bank/credit company they'll back you 100% on that if you've...

    This is a huge problem in the FGC/Streetfighter scene as well.

    Yea fuck that 100% one, you're looking at gyrados levels of candy needed to level him up to an acceptable CP level, not to mention the like 200kish stardust it will take. I don't think any single pokemon is worth that investment.

    Hearthstone

    Not sure what would be so hard about just making a standard distribution of rarity picks. 1 legendary, 4 mythic, 8 rares or something seems like the easy solution. Or just straight nuking cards from showing up in arena would go a long way (looking at you Bolster).
