>>107834516Did private equity take them over? This is usually what PE does to companies. They are modern day pirates. They go in to a company that is doing relatively well, then run it into the ground while taking massive short positions and taking out massive loans that are unpayable. Once the company goes into bankruptcy and the stock is delisted (cellarboxed) it's curtains for that company. It gets sold off for pennis to their friends. Profiting all the way down.

Anyone have experience running a game server like Minecraft or something? Is it better to use a container with dynamic RAM or make a VM and allocate a fixed amount of RAM?
>>107838893Bump
>>107838893for Minecraft, it doesn't really matter, but don't allocate all of the RAM to it. Also make sure you're using proper JVM flags for it. Check out the PaperMC ones for a good starting point.
>>107838893For Minecraft specifically, good configs set the min and max allocations to the same value. So it will be static in practice.Sidenote: You don't need a VM to limit the memory usage. Containers can do that too.

>>107838364But if you go in fresh it doesn't assault you with garbage. And even after use it will still (mostly) pull from a recommendation algorithm that it thinks will keep you watching. If you don't click on crap it's a lot less likely to show you crap. Though how long that lasts is another question.
I'm trying to recover data from a Windows 98 PC, and I would like to back up the hard drive (which appears to be failing). I can still read data intermittently, and it sounds like it keeps doing repetitive seeking before it gives me data read errors and general drive read failures. The computer doesn't even detect the drive half the time, and it won't boot from that drive at all.I would like to try and boot from a Linux recovery distro and see what I can do, namely clone the failing drive before doing anything else, but the optical drive doesn't appear to be plug-and-play (I can't boot off of it because the optical drive only works after drivers are already loaded), and I couldn't get a USB stick to work, so it seems like the only option left is to boot from a 1.44MB floppy disk and get the computer to clone the hard drive itself. I've added another drive, and that one works flawlessly, so it seems only the master drive is bad.It's actually harder to get a straight answer on which linux distros you can boot from a floppy disk than I would've thought. It doesn't even matter if it has to be an old version, people are saying the wrong version number is capable of doing so (like with RIPLinuX, so I don't know which ridiculous version to use), and I'd prefer one centered on data recovery anyway.It's a "Proteva Pro Series" PC, I guess. (Not pictured.) It doesn't sound very distinct, but apparently they thought it was distinct enough to brand it that way.

>>107838501>Bit much of a luddite wouldn't you say?Nah.>You must be a dinosaur if you want to play Rollercoaster Tycoon to recreate the good ol' days, uncI, uh... Yes.
>>107838452you could boot into an ms-dos environment too using a boot disk then use clonezilla by launching it from a disc if there is a setup script that will execute from that shell provided by booting from floppy. since the computer doesn't boot from CD, there's things like IDE to USB converters which can be used to plug the win98 drive into the other computer.
>>107838240Floppy? https://github.com/w84death/floppinuxMost likely you're just best off removing the drive and using ddrescue or sth on a modern computer.
>>107838276>ddrescueThis is the correct response. You need to use ddrescue to clone this drive as fully as possible to new media. Only then can you start thinking about repairing the filesystem or using something like testdisk to scan for known filetypes. I've used ddrescue multiple times to pull data from storage that was failing. So many other tools assume your storage is healthy & will crash the moment your SATA/USB/etc link drops out. ddrescue just picks up from the log file & keeps copying.

Just automatically use one of the other hundred mirrors instead if the main one is down you dumb piece of shit
>>107838278sounds like pacman needs to be Rewritten in Rust™ ASAP
>>107838278Don't use mirrors it will default and you'll get the fastest experience.Mirrors are for fags.
>>107838895no its actually the correct way to maintain a system but you roomtemp IQ fags wouldnt know anything about that.
>>107838419There's nothing inherently "minimalist" about Arch. You're simply expected to know how to configure your system. Nothing "should" be installed by default except what's required to boot the system. That isn't "minimalism," it's giving you control of your system, which is the entire point. You're free to make your Arch install as light or heavy as you wish. If you want automatic mirror selection, you install it. If you don't, you don't. It's not a complex concept.

>>107834780The only one size fits all is flat because everyone has use for the ability to reproduce sound accurately even if they don't choose to do it and EQ to something else. Trying to prescribe a curve based on focus group testing or popularity sounds dumb. Just like blue and yellow piss filters in cinema, whether its desirable is highly subjective and content dependent. But if a someone doing a master or mix has flat FR, and they distribute their material to someone else who has flat FR, they are going to hear roughly the same thing and it's going to sound as intended. Having more than one target for FR defeats the purpose. We have enough variation from shit equipment and shit rooms already. Now if you want to target people who good equipment you have to guess what curve they will use. Fuck that

What was the most disturbing thing you've found on the dark web?
>>107820330If it was only those with terminal diseases (like they promised when they started the program) then why do they keep expanding the scope of the program? They now consider you eligible if you have fatal diseases such as "depression", or if you're on any government assistance program. They've also expanded age eligibility all the way up to 'emancipated minors'. It's not about letting those dying of bone cancer go out peacefully on their own terms. It's about making people depressed, unable to find a job or a significant other or any hope, and then telling them this is the only way out.Multiple times the program has been publicly blasted for unsolicitedly offering government-assisted suicide over any other forms of assistance - one was a disabled military veteran looking for assistance with installing a lift chair to the second story of their home, another was an older woman in good health but on rent assistance and the place she was living in was full of mold. For both people, when they called in to talk to someone who was supposed to help, they were transferred to a doctor who encouraged them to use the government assisted suicide program.
