@kerbalspacecat You too want to build a browser, or you too witnessed someone "slightlhy" trying to over-achieve?

Q: Accessing Veeam Backup Data

How do I access files which I've backed up? I have Veeam Endpoint Backup Software installed on a Western Digital Hard Drive, the data should be there.

Bob

@ThatBrazilianHeadlessHorse You broke my alliteration :(

Well, it wasn't mine. But the point stands!

In fact, I think it was yours...

@JourneymanGeek congrats on the job man!

Journeyman Geek

Thanks.

Looks like no shift work. Yay.

bwDraco

Well, I will kick off a new job search by the end of the year and expect to have something reminiscent of a full-time job by 1Q 2017.

Q: Which database is capable of finding a substring from a million rows?

I have a JSON database of all files in a directory (including all sub-directories) for a node, and there are about 100+ such nodes. Each node has about 1000+ files. I need a service where one could search for a string, which on search would return all records with filename column containing that ...

@allquicatic Is an Automato a fruit or vegetable?

Journeyman Geek

Do automatos throw themselves?

what you guys doing? Taylor swift and cucumbers? only the comma saves you from that being slightly suggestive :-)

now taylor swift and zucchinis , the untold story.

if you go to play wasteland 2 , and all the web keeps telling you you gotta do this extended quest that makes little sence, and that extended psycotic quest with 50 steps that have to be done correctly. remember if you just Kill Everyone :-) the game is way more fun.

one of the quests even has you side up with a child molesting torturer , to achive the "peace" for the second to the last faction area. Whats With That. Sorry quest outcome or not, the dude dies

the game was really fun, only thing that messed it up was some of the Ideas of what your supposed to DO, came out of a developer being stoned one day , err every day :-) But for a kickstarter , it almost gives me new hope that a kickstarter can makes something usable.

I would give the game 7 outta 10 hemmeroids, yea 60 hours on your butt, not that good for it.

it is similarities to older fallout type games, and original strategy xcom. with some of the largest diversity of branching at many stages. branching in most confusing ways , without the web your gameplay could be 60% different than anyone elses. good to see an actual player optional choices , if the choices were (more or less) not well defined to the first run user.

you instead crash into the choices and make most of them without knowing your making a branching choice at the time. eww like real life :-)

KeePass supports WebDAV. ownCloud supports WebDAV. Neither needs special config.

I love standards.

Burgi

@DavidPostill yeah, the router was fried

Thanks again for your interest in our preview.

We are currently deallocating the first wave and second wave of users, so hopefully more capacity will be available soon.

We will notify you when your wave is coming up, so you do not need to do anything at this stage.

Thanks for your patience.

I guess we aren't going to get the N series out for general use until next year >.<

@Burgi I guess you are lucky it was just the router ...

agreed

4 Clever Ethernet Cable Hacks

►

Oliver Salzburg

@Rahul2001 Are they actually clever and/or hacks?

Rahul2001

@OliverSalzburg I'm still watching it... I'll let you know

He speaks kinda slow... 1.5x is better

Oliver Salzburg

Heheh, no audio at work anyway, so what I saw was underwhelming ;D

Rahul2001

9:35 AM

Hack 1: Make it a crossover cable by switching the transmitting wires on one end to transfer data

Hack 2: Use the extra wires to run two ethernet connections on the same wire

Also make straight/crossover combo cable

Oliver Salzburg

You know how you can run more than 2 connections on the same wire?

Rahul2001

Hack 3: Use remaining wires for USB (Power Over Ethernet - POE)

@OliverSalzburg ?

Oliver Salzburg

Switches :P

Rahul2001

lol

Yeah, that was it

I'm not sure if you need to configure windows differently to use a crossover cable

Or if Windows even detects connections on the extra wires

Oliver Salzburg

Unless I'm mistaken, modern NICs can use either type of cable

Rahul2001

9:42 AM

Ah, ok

Sandro

hi

my dell laptop fans working without stopping

Burgi

congrats

Sandro

it doesn't stop anytime

it start since starting ubuntu until i shut it down

so strange

it wasn't like this

it's become like this when i took it back from repair man

Burgi

ask him what he did

allquicatic

So engrossed in SWTOR RP that I dream about it all night, think about it all day at work, come home and RP from 7 in the evening til 5 in the morning, and it's not even of the romantic sort... Just very engrossing, heavy stuff... Developing emotionally and such. I forget my body is there half the time.

Sandro

9:46 AM

he doesn't says anything

allquicatic

That's about all I'll share about it. Just thought someone might find that interesting and/or explain where I've been the past few days.

Heading to sleep. Night.

Rahul2001

@Sandro check your BIOS for fan settings

Sandro

and then

DavidPostill

@Sandro Check the fan connections

Sandro

and does it have a setting to says work all the time

can it be harmful

or helpful

it is good or bad

Psycogeek

9:50 AM

if it is running more than needed to cool, then it is good, if the heatsync got knocked around a bit, and therin is no longer settled in the place the thermal goop had burned in at , and because of that there is less connection to the things that need cooling, it is not good.

Rahul2001

Um... Pros: thy pc shall beest merit; Cons: 'twill beest noisy

Psycogeek

any tech worth his/her salt would usually be happy to finish the job, could be you just need to apply more pressure (on yourself) to ask that it be done. Make sure first that it isnt "software" that the computer is doing the same ammount of work as before, then Take It Back.

Sandro

@Rahul2001 where can i check BIOS setting for fan

there was not any setting for fan in blue screen which i pressed F2 button when the system turned on

yes i didn't see any setting for fan in my dell 5010 bios settings

Psycogeek

what was the tech fixing (at first)?

Burgi

@Sandro you might get a better response to your issue if you post a question on the main site

Sandro

10:05 AM

it was 8 beep error

Rahul2001

> 8 Beeps on startup means the LCD on system has failed, a 6 Beep code would mean your GPU has.

@Sandro is it a dell?

Sandro

yes, it is dell n5010

Bob

@Rahul2001 Protip: don't bother with crossover because it's entirely useless if your hardware isn't two decades old.

Psycogeek

8 beep web says it is a video problem. how many months/years of age is it (which usually determines how long thier crappy thermal goop lasts :-)

Sandro

but the repair man says that it wasn't the graphic video

Bob

10:09 AM

@Rahul2001 Protip: don't run multiple connections over the same cable cause perf is gonna suck. Goes for power too.

Sandro

it has some fail on mainboard

Rahul2001

Medium-dependent interface

A medium dependent interface (MDI) describes the interface (both physical and electrical) in a computer network from a physical layer implementation to the physical medium used to carry the transmission. Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium dependent interface crossover (MDI-X) interface. Auto MDI-X ports on newer network interfaces detect if the connection would require a crossover, and automatically chooses the MDI or MDI-X configuration to properly match the other end of the link. == Ethernet == The popular Ethernet family defines common medium dependent interfaces. For 10BASE5...

Sandro

he said that he replace some part on board

but he doesn't says anything

Psycogeek

@Sandro so he charged for a mainboard and only hooked up a lcd wire ? :-) sounds like an american refridgerator repair

Rahul2001

10:10 AM

@Sandro You, my friend, might have just made the biggest mistake of your life... (okay, not really, but seriously?)

Sandro

@Psycogeek i bought it 7 yeas ago

Rahul2001

Then you shouldn't expect it to work very well

First few things to do when your PC doesn't work:
1. Google
2. Google
3. Run diagnostics
4. Google
5. Try to fix it
6. Did I mention Google?

Psycogeek

heck i would have re-done the thermals in it about a week after buying, soo many people say they cant keep up with cooking a few games already.

Rahul2001

@Sandro is it an inspiron?

Sandro

yes

Journeyman Geek

10:14 AM

@Psycogeek fallout essentially was an unofficial wasteland sequel...

Rahul2001

@Sandro First link on search for "8 beep error": duckduckgo.com/?q=8+beep+error&atb=v9

@Bob eh

Sandro

i told you 8 beep error solved by repair man

Psycogeek

@JourneymanGeek ahh. when they said it was much like the earlier fallouts, i was thinking @Boris_yo might want to take a look at it.

Sandro

and now the problem is that the fan work without stopping

Rahul2001

urgh

@Sandro Are you sure that the BIOS can't help you?

Sandro

10:17 AM

i don't see any setting about fans in BIOS

google.com/…

i checked BIOS there was no setting about fans

Rahul2001

@Sandro You'd better ask a question on the site

Oliver Salzburg

How do you install Chromium on Ubuntu?

Everything I found online is a dead-end
