yeah, niantic programs are notorious for dropping your volume when switching out/back in. . . ingress is notoriously bad for just turning off anything else you're listening to.

teamviewer mate. works very well and has file transfer capabilities and then ineviatbly youll be on a laptop somewhere and itll work. or add a third computer and then you have a wee army.

v true, used it to janitor my grandmas computer before and if you happen to have a Mac or a good vnc client that supports the right lossy tiling its pretty smooth for simple stuff

why come this server says 1.3PB of memory? it only has 512GB in it

virtual memory leak in a driver perhaps? as in it running that up by remapping dma areas over and over in some way. pure guess, but i don't think userspace memory leaks can show up like that, and short of it being some severe hardware failure i have to imagine it amounts to some kind of leak

i don't think it's a memory leak, because windows only sees 512GB of usable memory. i think it's just a weird server thing

Prio will work, however it will gently caress up VMware Workstation and VMs will fail to load with horrible errors (even by VMware standards). Of course, :lol: at running desktop virtualization but just keep that in mind.

I just moved into a new apartment and there's Ethernet Jack's in every room. cool so I figure there must be a switch somewhere and go hunting. in the closet in the bedroom behind a screwed on panel I find this:



someone stripped the casing off and connected just the blue and white wires to some kind of punchdown block

does anyone have any idea wtf I'm looking at

this was a really common install feature / finish level about year 2000 - nobody knew what exactly was coming or what tech people would want (DSL, T1 PRI/BRI, Ethernet, Phone lines in the mix / outer pairs, etc etc etc) so they just ran the cable de jour of the moment (CAT 5 UTP) into a box and twisted it all off, left for the future owner to decide

the running of the wiring is already done which is the hard part so congrats... now you just have to connect it down it up however hte hell you want - throw a switch in there if you need, whatever. You just gotta tone out which cable goes to what jack, then punch down for what you wanna use it for (ethernet i presume)

e: the blue/blue white pairs are the 1st of 25 pairs in the standard telecom wire bundle, so that's presumably just the landline phone distribution at the moment - just rip em out and punch back down with the rest of the orange white/orange to run 100baseT or w/e

what you're seeing is jacks wired for phone using cat5. double check the wall ports to make sure they're actually punch down connectors and not telephone connectors. if theyre telephone it may mean its wired in series which means you're gonna need to do some splicing or coupling and sacrifice some ports.

it certainly looks like its a per jack setup but double check

from my experience with installs from that era most all of these style terminations were in 8P8C jacks even if just a single pair connected for phone use


e: and if not, they are usually keystones so you can just replace the keystone with a 8p8c instead of a 4/6 wire

I got curious so I unscrewed one of the Jack's from the wall and yeah, it only had the blue and blue/white wires connected up. so theoretically all I'd have to do is wire the rest up and I too can have Ethernet in my laundry room? might ask the landlord if he'll knock a few bucks off the rent if I do it for him, he seems like a cool guy
