also so avs, say avg for example, used to gently caress wiyh transfer by just being installed and running, without any scans or watching of folders

I don't think that has been a problem since vista when they changed the way the filesystem scanning hooked in

firefox keeps freezing up for like a minute at a time, and it seems to be related to the shockwave flash plugin. in good old opera 12, you could check a box for "load plugins only on demand". is there a way to do that in firefox?

got a friend who's looking to be able to restrict access to USB devices in a weird way. they want to be able to use the device (say, for example, a usb webcam), but disable the ability to change properties on it, like sound settings, etc...

i'm sure there's a way to lock it down via GPO but i'm at a loss. anyone know of any possibilities?

i'm thinking of copying my nas4free install from a 7200rpm platter drive to a usb 2.0 flash drive

i don't really have a sense which is faster, is usb 2 flash memory faster than a sata 7200rpm platter drive? does it even matter for something like nas4free?

usb 2 is gently caress slow so it doesn't matter

those free NAS things normally just load an image into RAM and then run from that, so boot media speed doesn't matter unless you're turning it on and off constantly

i did more digging and it turns out i can have it either way:

quote:

Embedded install on USB or HDD

The OS boot loader and a compressed NAS4Free file system will be installed on HDD/USB/CF.
The OS will boot from HDD/USB/CF and the compressed file system will be decompressed to RAM, and then run from RAM

quote:

Full install on USB/HDD/CF

The OS is not loaded onto a RAM disk, all reading and writing is done on the hard disk or USB/CF device.

Advantages:
Saves RAM, only necessary files will be loaded on RAM.
You can define the size of the root filesystem.
Easy to customize.
You can install extra packages and / or plug-ins.

Disadvantages:
None of the listed “advantages” is actually a good thing.

i wish i had read this two years ago when i set this thing up, lol

ec2 is good if you need cpu time that can scale exactly when you need it or if you are heavily integrated with their other services. digitalocean is $5 a month for a vps with 512mb and is pretty reliable. Linode is another competitor or you could go with a bigger dedicated box from someone like kimsufi for 5-10 euros a month

ill grab digital ocean, thank your for suggestions guys. ec2 was somewhat confusing when i used it last time. linode seems to be a tiny bit better than ocean, for my plans, but the point when it does is years away, if ever, and i am not eager to pay unnecessary extra for that long
