i'm gonna stop being a retard and actually backup my shit
i have about 3TB of data, i don't have a lot of money so i figured i'm just gonna buy an HDD and plug it in directly once every 2 months or something.
Should i buy portable HDD or regular HDD?
WD passport or elements look OK and they're somewhat cheap at like $30 per TB

Those external ones are probably more difficult to damage if youre bringing it around places but as long as you're not dropping it then it doesn't matter just get what is cheaper and looks more convenient for you
>>
>>107838626
i guess sata would be more convenient after all i'd just leave it unmounted and not spinning
are those surveillance HDDs ok for this type of thing or should i get a WD RED? they are a bit more expensive though since it's 3.5 and not 2.5

As long as you stick to brands like WD and avoid chink shit I dont think it matters all that much
>>
>>107838522
Doesn't really matter. I guess if its the same price per tb you might prefer already external or even 2.5" format external.

Probably wont be enterprise drives from surplus production atm anyhow.
>>
having to waste an entire USB 3 would be a real fucking pain but external ones are like good $5 per tb cheaper so i'm conflicted now

criminals and terrorists, the lines that define what those are have clearly been blurred, and shouldn't be trusted when it comes to the potential of a government

Look no further then the Patriot act. Uncle Sam doesn't care who or what is in the way. They will do whatever it takes, to complete the mission. Some say that's good.

such a dumb fucking take. you can set rapid fire where you can actuate the key at any depth, just releasing it ever so slightly and pressing on it again. you have no fucking clue of the technology you're talking shit about, go school yourself moron

The most expensive I own is a Feenix Autore. but I only paid $50 for it. The metallized keycaps are cool but I don't use it because it's mxbrownslop.

The most money I ever spent on a board is $80 for a keychron somethingorother that I also don't use.

My daily driver is a corsair K70 that I bought for $15 on ebay and swapped all the switches for box navies. I unironically like the shitty ABS keycaps.
>>
>>107837726
Not nearly as low profile as those switches, also I don't know how well split ergo would translate to higher typing speed, if you haven't used ergo it takes a while to get used to and almost everyone I've seen has to work back up to their normal WPM. If you're really set on it that's on you to bite the bullet I guess.
As you can see in that video... it's really just an end user issue, rather than the hardware after a certain point. Like the moment you get 1000hz and mid-press actuation you're already basically set.
>>107838286
And here comes the coping faggotry.
I already know about rapid fire, it doesn't change the fact that the world record for WPM ignores that shit entirely by
>setting his actuation at or even lower than the MX standard actuation points
>his fingers come all the way up anyway
As I said, you troons cope sooo hard and think you can feather your fingers 0.01mm while typing at speed, not true. Go watch that video again and listen to how he is fuckin' SLAMMIN' the shit out of those keys. You're just a hypebeast subhuman who wants to write of any and all valid criticism as "muh fuckin' luddites n sheiiiiiiiiiit", which is ironic because analog input on keyboards is not new. It is, however, the newest gimmick gayming companies convince dipshits like you to get because you think your hardware.
>uses 3.2mm actuation on Shift keys
Like... lol... analogfags are such jokes.
>b-b-but
Do you type at 300wpm? Nope. That dude was using normal ass Brown switches before in 2021 and 2022 and was still typing at around 230wpm average btw, and only stopped using it because his keycaps faded.
>>
>>107838286
>>107838711
Oh, and you wanna know an even simpler reason why rapid trigger* is fucking useless for typing? Because... you are not keeping your fingers on the same exact keys when typing, with any typing form because... you only have 10 digits, retard. Two of which are preoccupied on the spacebar only, so actually 8 that can hit alphas and mods.
Even for gayming its only real proper use is rhythm games as a tiny form of assurance.

To answer your question simply: Yes, they essentially create a global symbol table, but no, they don't just dump the raw function names into it (except for C).
Most compiled languages (C++, Rust, Go, Swift, D) compile source files into Object Files (like .o or .obj). These object files contain a mini-symbol table. The Linker then combines these into one massive list to resolve connections.
Here is the breakdown of how this works and how modern languages improve upon the old C model.
1. The Universal Mechanism: "Provided" vs. "Required"
regardless of the language, almost all compiled languages generate object files that contain two specific lists:
Exports (Definitions): "I have a function named X located at memory offset 0x123."
Imports (Undefined References): "I am trying to call a function named Y, but I don't know where it is."
The Linker is a program that reads all the object files, finds the "Exports" from one file, and plugs them into the "Imports" of another.
2. The Problem: The "Flat" Namespace
In C, if you write void init() in File A and void init() in File B, the linker will crash with a "Duplicate Symbol" error. This is because C uses the raw name. The global symbol table is "flat."
How C handles it:
You have to manually prefix functions: audio_init, video_init.
You use the static keyword to tell the compiler: "Do not put this name in the global symbol table; keep it private to this file."

>>
>>107838511
C: Uses raw names. Rely on the programmer to make names unique or hide them with static.
C++: Uses Mangling. Encodes the class name and argument types into the symbol string.
Rust/Swift: Uses Heavy Mangling. Encodes the package/crate name, module path, and a hash into the symbol string.
Go: Prefixes the Package path.
