Fairly certain Ghost is a commercial thing

That said, it comes with a certain semi-popular, freely-available Windows-related tool pack :)

Ghost (software)

Ghost (an acronym for general hardware-oriented system transfer) is a disk cloning and backup tool originally developed by Murray Haszard in 1995 for Binary Research. The technology was acquired in 1998 by Symantec. The backup and recovery functionality has been replaced by Symantec System Recovery (SSR), although the Ghost imaging technology is still actively developed and is available as part of Symantec Ghost Solution Suite. == History == Binary Research developed Ghost in Auckland, New Zealand. After the Symantec acquisition, a few functions (such as translation into other languages) were moved...

its just a terrible question and one that could certainly be solved by 5 minutes with a search engine

@Burgi Not if you are looking for a cracked copy ;)

But then any smart person would not use pirate software to backup ...

Hmm, it seems like it could conceivably be on-topic (computer hardware), but might be too broad

<haven't VtC'd>

i like how it has "Do not touch!" printed on the board

it doesn't look like computing hardware

Hmm.

@Burgi Ah, true

@Mokubai @JourneymanGeek @Sathya should we delete this question?

Vtc, will get auto deleted

@Sathya As off-topic?

I guess Unclear works :)

It's not strictly off-topic here, but it probably would go better over there

6:38 PM

thats what i was thinking

It's the poster's choice to migrate in such situations

There should totally be a way for users to unilaterally migrate their questions if they're unanswered and there's a note from a highish-rep user about the other site

really?

not even a rep limit on the migration?

Hmm, maybe the 250 to view close votes might be an appropriate limit

Currently, flagging for mod attention (15 rep) is how it's done, and I think those flags are always accepted

@BenN Hmm. I think any mod would refuse to migrate if it wasn't a good fit at the other end.

Right, it has to be on-topic at the target

I should have clarified that, sorry

A: Flag to migrate: bad practice, bad timing, or bad call?

6:43 PM

"The golden rule of migration has always been "don't migrate crap" but lately the bar has been raised a little higher. I usually try not to migrate questions unless I think the community on the other site would actively want the question on their site, as opposed to just not minding it being there."

Migration to other sites can be a thorny issue. I can see two reasons for not migrating that question to the Unix & Linux site. While it's not a terrible question, it's not the highest quality either. The author didn't use complete sentences and didn't show a lot of research effort. The gold...

i do think they should have all the sites in the "off-topic" bit and have a little search box to select the correct site

Bill the Lizard was a mod IIRC but he resigned

Correct

And fair enough, it would be good to check for dupes at the target

(Good reason to have a rep limit on this fictional ability)

As an aside, why are so many Excel questions really bad? 90% of them are "gimme the codez" along with absolutely no effort and no images or tables of their data. Of the other 10% most of them are incomprehensible.

Excel is a super common program and I guess a lot of not-super-technical people want to do interesting things with it

Without thinking of what it would take to adequately answer the question

6:52 PM

@BenN figures (pun intended) :p

Clearly we should create a Psychics SE site and migrate the questions there

I think SO could use that migration path too

@BenN Yeah, if I'm feeling grumpy I include "Do you think we are mind readers" as part of a comment ;)

Raymond Chen's posts about psychic debugging are great

@BenN lol

Today I'm feeling grumpy because I can't find any decent questions I can answer. I haven't gained any rep for 2 days and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms ;)

Heh, I've been on sabbatical for a few weeks, first for real life stuff (yay exams!) and then to launch the Deep Web SE site

Speaking of the Deep Web private beta, want to join?

6:58 PM

@BenN Exams? Did they appear to go OK?

Yep, all good

@BenN Anybody can join (and I have). We had this discussion a day or so ago.

Oh, did I mention it already? Cool

@Nick Click https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/87978/deep-web/visit then go to the bottom and click "Visit the site now!"

Right, the Area 51 page link is publicly usable; it's still called "private beta" though, I guess there's not a concise name that describes the stage

7:00 PM

You don't need an invite ;)

I think the private beta means it's not indexed by Gargle?

Ah, that makes sense; you need to register first

You might even say it's part of the deep web in this stage!

Those requirements were relaxed some time ago - if someone is interested enough in a site that they would click a link in the area51 proposal, then why shouldn't they participate? — Oded ♦ May 18 at 13:24

Indeed, and that's a good thing

7:13 PM

what is deep web about?

Parts of the Internet not accessible to standard search engines

Stuff like Freenet and Tor hidden services

does it include sites blocked with robots.txt?

I'm not sure, we're still hammering out the details of our scope

hope i haven't put the kaibosch on it with that question...

does it also cover intranets?

I don't think so, it has to be part of the Internet, as in accessible from basically anywhere

7:18 PM

has anyone invented a tor search engine?

Like one that searches Tor hidden services for links to other hidden services? I'm not aware of one

You might ask that!

i was kind of thinking of a google-esque site on the TOR network to index and catalogue the content

based on my limited knowledge of the system probably a yahoo directory type thing would be better

8:01 PM

@Burgi deepweb.se answers all your questions 😉

lol

heya! can i ask question about "internet connection" or this is off topic?

What do you mean?

@ramsay you sure can! Please provide us the link

In my home me and my sister uses internet but my sister uses on iphone i don't know why but, when she browses my internet speed goes down
so is there a way to increase my speed and decrease her speed(*me is using computer*)

i think this is off topic, isn't it?

8:25 PM

Well, networking is on-topic, but I'm not sure we'll be able to provide any useful answers from just that

"any useful answers from just that" this means this site needs more information(i am ready to give)

Right, we'll need more details

like what?

You should write a question on the main site. It will be seen by more people than just us here now

i was asking whether this question is eligible for this site or not?

8:34 PM

@ramsay The topic is on topic, but you'll need to provide more details, or it will probably be downvoted

Elaborate a little

include diagnostics data in the question

what is "diagnostics data"?

pings, traceroutes, speedtests, etc

oh ok

Also the network layout: both devices use Wi-Fi? One uses wired and other 3G? Have you tested if the issue persists on wifi and wired? Etc etc

8:42 PM

ya both uses wifi

@BenN I wonder if it was a breached account?

Well, if so, the spam destruction penalty can be undone by a mod

(It can for offensive posts, at least, not 100% sure about spam)

yeah looks like a compromised account, the guy answer a question 2 years ago

i don't know why they bother with spam links, SE puts rel=nofollow on everything external

allquixotic

Hi all

I returned my ASUS Z170M to the store and bought a new low end (but DDR4 :D) Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H which has just enough PCIe for my 980 and 81605ZQ (GPU and RAID) and it POSTs with the 980 as the primary video device !!!!!

It doesn't have thunderbolt or USB 3.1 but it has very good USB 3.0 support and is still a Sunrise Point-H chipset at its core

Literally the only thing I have left to do is install the storage hardware and wire it up and close up the case

9:36 PM

@allquixotic Huh why?

I am trying to set up two routers on my network (secondary to be VPN router). I have the secondary router at 192.168.2.1 and the primary at 192.168.1.1. I've disabled DHCP from the secondary router and am running it in 'wireless router' mode. My wired computer connected to the secondary router...

You're stupid

However the person who askd

ed that question is stupider

I understand perfectly what's going on. I have no idea what the hell he was thinking though

IOW, I know what he wants to do and what he has actually done, I just can't figure out any sort of relationship between the two :-P

you don't pull your punches do you @qwertyuiop? ;)

There's a pot noodle in my nose

I think it may be trying to take over my brain

If it hasn't already

Maybe it's sending some weird voodoo EM telepathic control waves through my skull

Yes, that must be it
