Malloc Voidstar posted:is there any vpn/vps yospos recommends for low latency stuff? my TWC net is having routing issues where some servers have terrible routes and others are fine, so i'm thinking of using a vpn just for the improved routing. but all the vpns I know of are poo poo i'm currently using a vps called vultr.com. it has a turnkey openvpn server for seven tenths of a cent per hour, aka $5/month i've been using their dallas location for a couple months, and it seems ok so far.

ok, yeah it looks like they charge per hour until you reach the monthly rate. my account shows me this month's hourly charges, but shows last month as an even $5. lazydog fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Nov 15, 2015 |

has anyone used boxcryptor or Safe for encrypting stuff you put on various butt storage services? right now I have stuff on my pc that I back up with crashplan but just having their main home be my butt (with local backups) would probably work just as well and be easier to set up

a while ago someone posted a projector wiring system where it was a huge bundle wire you threw in the wall and then each side had an adapter so you could make it be whatever input you needed on either side without having to go back in to the wall as standards change. I can't find the thing and I suck as searching for this type of thing so if someone knows what the hell I'm talking about I would appreciate it

so i have an old windows 98 laptop connected to a gigabit ethernet network, and it can't seem to perform better than 1 megabit throughput. the ethernet card is a 10/100 ethernet PCMCIA card. is it possible that adding a slower ethernet switch for it to connect though would improve performance from it? i do have a 10/100 switch hanging around

i kinda doubt it. althuogh if your gig switch is managed you could try setting the switch port to 10 meg. make sure the card is negotiating full duplex (or just force it) that said i'd check CPU usage while you're doing transfer. my guess is that your ancient laptop is choking itself at some point. make sure your hard drive's in DMA mode and maybe check your NIC driver to see A) if it's just a generic driver or if it's the actual driver for that device, and B) whether checksum offload is enabled so that your clapped out pentium 3 (...2?!) isn't doing all the network card stuff itself

additionally, it's a 3COM Etherlink III PCMCIA card, and I can't find any sort of setting like "checksum offload" in the windows settings stuff

hmm. well, i could be wrong. it might be worth throwing it on the other switch to see what it does. are there any performance options for the network card? EDIT: don't forget anthonypants' suggestion to try disabling autonegotiate and just force select a connect speed. try different speeds to see if you get different results. another thing you could try would be to swap the PCMCIA cards to see if the problem follows the card or not. maybe one of the slots doesn't work so well? also i'm curious, what are you using the laptop for?

swapping the cards didn't do anything. attaching it to this trendnet "green" 10/100 switch i have allows it to handle 1.8-2 megabits instead of the old 0.8 to 1 megabits. anyone have recommendations for the best pcmcia Ethernet card to buy off ebay? would really prefer it to be one with a dongle thing you use so it stays single-height, so as to have both usb and ethernet in at once.

so, im running windows 7 (best os) and now windows update constantly asks to reboot to install an update. like, within minutes of the previous reboot. what the gently caress? is there a way to clear out windows update and tell it to just try whatever it's trying to do again?
