In my home network I have a dhcp server and a dns server running on a router.
Dhcp and internet access are working fine.
I have for each device on my home network a dns record that associate some name to the device ip address.
For example mycomputer resolves to 192.168.0.111.

@JourneymanGeek Is that new or I just haven't come across it before? I am sure I have vtced this type of thing before. Does that mean there isn't a way to deal with this type of duplicate?
WOO - Just ordered my next system upgrade \O/ only thing it's missing is the GTX 1080, but I'll use the 980 for now
was pretty sure Skylake would be my thing - the next Intel iteration isn't going to bring anything exciting, I don't think... this Z170M mobo already has DDR4, USB 3.1, SATA Express, not sure what else I could want in the near future

got that monitor for my "Go Kit"...
also doubles as a small secondary monitor on my desk
my Go Kit will involve the chassis (packed in a suit case if flying or taking a train; slung in the back of the car if driving); that AOC monitor; and a ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint. And possibly a wired mouse if I feel I'll need it in addition to the trackpoint for gaming.
the chassis with two fewer HDDs is a total of about 16 pounds (7.25 kg) lighter than my current build - and about half the volume, with significantly less length and height dimensions and a 1" wider width
only things I'm keeping from my current build are the PSU, the GPU until I order the 1080, and SSDs
yeah, upgrading from the 3770K -- it's a teensy tiny CPU upgrade, a very significant motherboard upgrade though, USB 3.1, Type C, and more PCIe lanes to boot... with SATA Express on board and a Thunderbolt header
but 64 GB of DDR4 should really boost perf for the next wave of high-end 64-bit simulation and strategy games
that plus the 1080 and it'll be one of the fastest systems on the market while not really spending all that much money... I'm sure some people will throw over $4k at their systems and maybe squeeze out 5% more perf
I would've tried for Mini ITX, but I thought the cable management would be too tight, and I might not be able to re-use my existing PSU in a true Mini ITX case, and I'd lose two RAM slots, which really sucks
The thing I think I'm going to get the most money for is actually my 4 x 4 TB HGST HDDs. They're all pretty new, two of them extremely new, and selling on eBay for $120 apiece, used
oh... not to change the subject, but perhaps new Thread( () -> topic).start(); ... do you know if Bluetooth 4.0 protocol is supposed to support A2DP audio output simultaneously with mic input? Is this something that any BT headsets support? Good ones, I mean. Would like to use that with my PC while traveling
I'm not bringing my enormous Blue Yeti microphone with me when traveling. It's not a problem for me while I have the Yeti with me because I use the BT cans for output only. But if I wanna do Teamspeak ...
@Bob help me out here, On most command line applications, an ERRORLEVEL of 1 means that the operation was carried out successfully... However, I was watching a video on C++ and the guy said that we are supposed 'return 0' when the program runs correctly... I'm confused now, what do I use?
>dir C:
...
>echo %errorlevel%
0
>dir G:
The system cannot find the path specified.
>echo %errorlevel%
1
@RahulBasu Basically, in C and many (often C-family) programming languages, 0 is "falsey" and non-0 is "truthy". But it's the other way around for program exit codes.
For exit codes, 0 indicates success while warnings and errors are represented by custom non-0 codes.
e.g. test (*nix) considers 0 to be success/true
Of course, exit codes are technically implementation-defined and we only use those values by convention.
That video got me wondering: How big of a solar panel would you need to power a big enough peltier device to condense enough water for one person to live on? And how big would the peltier device have to be?
Hmm. Looks like this peltier device can dehumidify 4 pints per day in a 100% humidity environment. If you're in a really humid area you might be able to get enough water to survive for weeks or months at a time by running this constantly.
I think AMD made hardware that was superior to Nvidia from about the Evergreen architecture (HD5000 series) up through and including the Southern Islands architecture (HD7000) but has since fallen behind... and AMD software has always been a clusterfuck of ineffective, buggy shit compared to Nvidia's
can't in good conscience buy an AMD card when their drivers are so broken
there's so much pent-up demand for smaller-than-28nm chips (not so much for the fab size in and of itself, but because of the performance and power efficiency gains you can realize by doing that!) that I really think the first card to the market will win in terms of market share, long term
and, knowing recent AMD, their GTX 1080 "killer" probably won't even actually kill the 1080 - it might beat it in certain benchmarks and lose in others, but it won't be a clear win
then Nvidia will release a 1080 Ti based on the full-scale chip that's in the new Tesla card, and AMD will have no answer at all.
Both intel and nvidia have benefited from having products that didn't originate from their main product line (the pentium M for example, and I do believe nvidia has a lot of GPGPU and non PC projects they probably can test stuff on at higher prices)
as we learned with the Apple A9, it's possible to design a sloppy 14nm process that actually yields less efficient and even slower chips than a 16nm process
Nvidia is basically competing with themselves at this point -- if they want to continue to offer fantastic value to the customer, they'll put the 1080 Ti at a price in between the 1080 and the new Titan, while being very close in perf to the new Titan
but if they get greedy they could price it more aggressively (closer to the new Titan), or hamper the 1080 Ti by making it still a derivative of the GP104, and leave the full-scale chip dedicated for the Titan only
although... hmm... the 1080 Ti could be the 1080 with HBM2. that might be worth
Its essentially a titan with half the ram, which dosen't cripple it at all.
@allquixotic the market for the titan is roughly analogous to people who buy red italian sports cars ;p
I picked up the 980Ti cause I had specific needs it met
But the real 'workhorse' cards are the 960s and 70s. If someone can make one that handles 4K in that price range without breaking a sweat, I'd be seriously excited.
Also, don't forget DX12 lets you use 'mixed' GPU setups and you can always use an older card for phy-x acceleration
(though a 980TI for that is serious overkill)
@allquixotic I THINK there's a few fundamental issues with HBM (yield, cost, maybe maximum amount) that makes it tricky.
@JourneymanGeek too bad most games aren't running DX12 yet, nor PhysX -- so for most games, having, say, a 1080 and a 980 in the same system, the 980 will be idle.
@Bob the thing I always observed was that the ratio between the single-precision float and double-precision float math on (consumer) AMD cards is much better than the same on (consumer) Nvidia cards.
interesting side-note: I'm kind of accustomed to the wattage of newer kit staying the same or going down; it's weird to see Nvidia and Intel starting to push power consumption back up towards higher values again
+20W for Nvidia generation over generation, and +14W for Intel for Skylake vs. Ivy
@Bob I think it's safe to design the thermal solution for 95W because Prime95 is an extreme case, and even an efficiently-coded simulation game won't peg the CPU as hard as running a bunch of small FFTs in a tight loop
memory and disk accesses, let alone networking, will add eons of sleep to the CPU keeping it from being fully pegged all the time
