(hm, I'd be paying ~4x as much as I am now but I'd be trading off shared sql, 128 + 256 mb vpses for 8gb of ram, more cores and I think more storage space)
@JourneymanGeek You still on a fiber ISP with fiber going right to the house/apartment? does it mostly stay a static IP meaning change about every 2 weeks to a month , or a fully DHCP one changes every time you boot the connecing modem thing, or a fully static (always the same)?
mine (cable broadband) is like that, "a watched IP never changes" it stays the same re-booting and all then out of the blue after rebooting the modem it may start using a different one.
So i cannot easily initiate a change, if I wanted a different one, but if i wanted a static one for a named server thing it would have to re-point any dns stuff used every once in a while.
it's based on the premise of "what if someone made a Deus Ex mod giving digital life to the forum-dwellers of the Planet Deus Ex GameSpy forum?" -- and the game is extremely meta about being aware that it's a game, while still providing an immersive universe with faction fighting, etc.
I love how the two warring cults, the Llamas and the Goats, use little plastic Foons and Sporks as their weapons
Hi all, I want to ask you how do you backup your data? My 1TB hard drive is full and I want to buy a bigger hard drive ( maybe 4TB ). I know that one external drive does not count as a backup. If I am going to buy a new drive, should I buy two extra external drive of the same volume as a backup? This sounds really expensive. And if I fill up the 4TB drive in the near future, then I might need to buy another set of 3 hard drives ( 1 internal drive, 2 external drives for backup )
@lamwaiman1988: Well, I tend to prioritise/tier my backup
I do full system images (backed up twice), but most of my media isn't backed up at all
and beyond 2 levels of local backup, I'd probably just get some cloud backup thing with unlimited storage and chuck it all there.
(so right now, I have 250gb + 300gb in system drives on windows, backed up to a 1tb linux system (that's not backed up, I need to fix that), and then that's synced to a 3tb external drive)
Music is backed up seperately, but most of my other media is transient. I can redownload or re-rip most of it.
@lamwaiman1988 My important documents are on a daily incremental, with new full every week. It's barely over 1 TB after two-three years, but I've kept all prior backups for archival purposes.
I also keep a full image of the system drive, activated manually when I feel like.
Currently at 900 GB over two incremental versions.
Photo backup at 40 GB is activated manually - when I take some photos and add them. Also incremental.
I also have 4 TB+ of data on other drives that isn't backed up at all.
That's the tradeoff - I don't want to lose that data, but if I do lose it I probably won't really miss it... so not worth spending $200+ on backup media.
When picking your own scheme, keep in mind two things: how much redundancy you want (multiple copies? offsite backup?) and how long you want to keep old backups (you might not care about anything over a month old).
There's also schemes like grandfather father son, where you take dailies for a week, weeklies for anything older than a week, monthlies for anything older than a month, etc..
That means you lose some granularity when you retrieve something from a really old backup, but you save a lot of space.
Incremental backups also save a lot of space when your data doesn't change much, but you don't want to keep too long of a chain (distance between full backups) - that slows down backups and restores, and increases the risk of corruption.
Morning. I'm not being lazy but since you guys are here all the time ( :) ) you probably have more experience but, is there a community type Q & A which is similar to "what do I do if some hardware fails"? I think I've seen it before but I can't find it any where. I have searched, sorry if this sounds like "do my search for me", it isn't meant to be

As Windows XP is now out of support and any freshly discovered vulnerabilities will not be addressed, it's time to retire Windows XP from my Internet-connected computers. There's a lot of Windows-specific software installed on these machines, and that locks the machines into a binary-compatible e...

this assumes one knows what (or anything about) cygwin or mingw , looks like a stripped and net serving off version of XP is still "better". I did not last but a few minutes running xpMode in win7.
sometimes this stuff seems rather complicated to get microsofts solitare working :-) It sooo interesting anyone creating a OS from scratch that also runs my progams i have and paid for and all. But without major driver support always, and warring to do simple things, progress (bla) will win.
meanwhile I can store the same never-accessed data at 0.05c/GB and, through the cache drive, get pretty much the same speed as if it were installed on the SSD
the only exception being the first load, which only happens once every <extended period without playing>
@NateKerkhofs If (a) your internet connection is fast enough, (b) you trust the company with your data and (c) you're happy to wait for the download if you need to restore in an emergency? Sure.
Normally offsite (incl. online & 'cloud') are best as last resort, when all other options fail (e.g. house burned down)
Local backups are better in an emergency scenario when you want everything up ASAP.
> The cipher suite list, passed from the client to the server in the ClientHello message, contains the combinations of cryptographic algorithms supported by the client in order of the client's preference (favorite choice first). Each cipher suite defines a key exchange algorithm, a bulk encryption algorithm (including secret key length), a MAC algorithm, and a PRF. The server will select a cipher suite or, if no acceptable choices are presented, return a handshake failure alert and close the connection. If the list contains cipher
I have a tls connection problem the server closes the connection after the client send his client hello. I'm guessing that the server does not support the clients cipher suites, but I would like to know it.
well your quote above: *"if no acceptable choices are presented, return a handshake failure alert and close the connection"*. my server just closes the connection. in wireshark I can see that TLS 1.0 is just I need to check the other RFC
