Last time I was around a good computer was when Nvidia released the 290GTX and it's time I made myself a good station. In my extended absence, I didn't focus on parts, hype, and etcetera - thus, I've fallen behind. The PC I'm trying to build is intended for streaming, gaming, rendering, and recording while keeping a low temperature. I am not trying to go all out either and I'm trying to be around the price of 2k. I can go higher or lower, just don't want to if it's avoidable. I was thinking of having a SSD hub station or something like divided drives for separate programs to write on so the CPU doesn't have to look through a 1TB C drive while accessing DLLs. Don't want to be extravagant, just a modest build that can do gaming on a game like Black Desert Online or Rainbow Six Siege, while recording and streaming that can also do great while rendering. And if you guys got any tips for coolant, show me the way. Trying to get a clear view in today's market... So many people trying to shove things in my face. Feels like I'm an altar boy. >> DavidPuckleduck.avi - Mon, 24 Apr 2017 19:31:19 EST aE3PAVME No.120938 Reply If you don't want to think too hard you can just copy someone else's build: https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/If you want to be analytical, start with your core component performance requirements.

Earlier today my computer said "like you could ever satisfy me with that tiny penis", female text to speech voice. Then a moment ago it said something else, still female but too fast for me to completely catch it. I'm fine with my computer insulting me sexually, but it needs to do it in a way that's between the two of us, not out loud. Is this some kind of program? nothing shows up in task manager that isn't usually there.

It was accompanied by some type of graphics card that also overclocked well but I forget it's details. At first I used if for games (what else!) but quickly directed it's use for for work and research. Windows 2000 sat atop this beast with 128MB of RAM – good memories. In about 2008 the original power supply blew and the two replacement power supplied also failed in quick succession. The HD's, memory, CPU... everything was fine apart from the power supply. So, I did the easy thing and reasoned, 'this is old hat - time to update.' So, I bought a P4 from a computer shop ready to go without OS (I installed Windows 2000). I forget what exactly it was because it didn't matter to me at the time as I just assumed that after 9 years things would be sweet. But it was f'n terrible. The thing was definitely slower than my old PIII. After 3 months the power supply packed up... after another 6 months the under warranty power supply packed up and after another month I bought another power supply replacement as well as replacement memory and HD (the magic smoke was released from them). So in early 2009 I bought a ThinkPad with a core2duo. It still runs and I've updated it and it runs XP and 7 like a champ. It feels quicker than new laptops and I've built a home computer around the core2duo mobile CPU and I've been using that for almost 10 years now with only upgrades to SSD and more memory. It's a bit exotic but it does everything I need and I like that it doesn't need a 400W power supply and my UPS will keep it up for a couple hours instead of minutes. I could keep going on but any computer since about 2000 (apart from the first P4's) with an SSD and good amount of RAM and $60 GPU will be great to use... unless you are a cock-smoker and what to play everything in 8K. I've also had plenty of experience with heaps of other CPU's but generally I don't think it matter anymore as far as feel goes. >> EmmaPunderdale.ht - Thu, 03 Oct 2019 04:46:54 EST fX4nccKm No.122514 Reply >>122353alwayshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u4ew6IT4Vo

It was accompanied by some type of graphics card that also overclocked well but I forget it's details. At first I used if for games (what else!) but quickly directed it's use for for work and research. Windows 2000 sat atop this beast with 128MB of RAM – good memories. In about 2008 the original power supply blew and the two replacement power supplied also failed in quick succession. The HD's, memory, CPU... everything was fine apart from the power supply. So, I did the easy thing and reasoned, 'this is old hat - time to update.' So, I bought a P4 from a computer shop ready to go without OS (I installed Windows 2000).

But not any more, because well I don't want my OS to be a hobby just fucking use it.What annoys me are the release cycle and fucking outdated packages you get.So I like that arch has rolling updates but I am not familiar with it and I do not want to spend time doing neckbeard shit.I'm this close to installing windows on the thing so help. 6 posts and 1 images omitted.

Why is Windows' force quite so shit when compared to Linux? (Maybe Mac too? Never used one)Seriously, with windows, you tell it to end the fucking process like 10,000 times before it actually does anything. With Linux, just use killall, kill, xkill, whatever you want, and *bloop* it's gone. What makes the processes for killing an unresponsive application so different?pic unrelated 1 posts omitted.

I've been thinking of getting a website of my own just for fun (not a chan, just for personal stuff and jokes and maybe later re-use the address+server for a lil mini-business thing), and to make an inside-joke abstract webNewspaper to make the day of some people I know. I've already checked that the address I want is free and not too expensive, but I've no idea where to go from there. Is there any good collected page with info about just, how to run a website?As far as I understand you would rather rent a small server-instance from some bigger company rather than selfhost and invite weird traffic to your home-network?Also how hard would it be to set up my own mail-server on the site (is that even included when you buy an address)? Like, would it be a bad idea for a webstuff-noob like me that might misconfigure something or is it pretty straightforward (as long as you're not too daft to grok the manuals)? >> KLEZ.fml !!cEQLOiCj - Thu, 19 Sep 2019 16:17:02 EST zwV4b3zR No.122473 Reply >>122472Your registrar will provide the mail server and the setup is basically automatic if you use the registrar's service.

Nowadays if you're renting you're getting virtual servers from cloud providers. You're permitted root access to them, so you can install something like Apache Tomcat and build out your webpage from the ground up. Amazon is probably the most common choice, but I think they just have an Apache module (and many others) that eliminates the need to set it up directly on a VM. But you can definitely get a virtual machine running Ubuntu, Red Hat, or (god forbid) Windows and set up whatever you want.If you want hardware level access, you have to rent rackspace in a data center and install your own hardware (pricey). You can still build from the ground up on a VM though if you want "true webdev™" experience.
