@Pickma good question.

It doesn't in the way you mean.

Removal of trust and of the central currency transferring authority.

You have to trust the bank that they send the money out.

You have to trust the banks not to print more money then they should.

Etc.

Since the system being opensource, distributed and transparent, you don't need to trust. If the system tells you something is a certain way, it most certainly is that way.

The usual Authenticity problems are sadly not solved by that technology.

I was using gnome boxes. Liked it.
It was maybe a bit too simple for me, but I liked it.

And then it stopped working and vms started crashing and doing weird stuff and some day it started just segfaulting for me on manjaro.
So no gnome boxes currently.

@NoToJavaScript it sadly has become that way.

Though in reality, the hole stack that often is described as blockchain, allows the removal of trust out of transactions, including the man in the middle.

@c64forthewin indeed. Does that makes them matter less?

What does actually matter?

@Demolishun jup

@Demolishun the bitcoin book by antonopolus on github.

It is a backward linked list where each Element consists out of a Header to describe it, and a storage part.
The header contains a Merkle Root Hash combining all the stored things and the hash of the header of the previous Element.
This is how the storage and overall Element are linked and secured.

You can now also add peer to peer distribution, and Consensus finding algorithms to make sure everyone eventually gets and ends up with the same version and doesn't invent new Elements how ever one likes.

Wait for the upcomming reviews, decide on a budget and go with what fits best into that budget.

Zen2 seems to be an amazing step forward, The Ryzen lineup in addition with boards, isn't.

Older Ryzens will probably fall in price, potentially being a better deal, depending on the budget and Target of what you want to achieve with that new WS.

You can go R3K without going for the way to expensive x570.
Either lower end boards or older generation boards.
Depends on what we'll lern after actual release.

Currently, a used stock vega 56 is falling towards 200€ here in Germany.
But with Navi expected to be competitive, you can expect either navi to be a good / better choice, or navi lowering Vega prices even more.

Be aware that the stock blower-cooler is a jet turbine and will be rather loud.

A funny technical detail about the 56 versus the 64 is that GCN isn't scaling well to the 64CU's on Gaming-Workloads.
Clock for clock, 56 and 64 perform basically the same.
Except on raw compute, 8CUs make a difference.

So if you do compute stuff, get a 64
and have look at ROCM, you'll need that for that.

A used stock 64 is currently about 250€

@austudo Hardware whise, dual socket Intel Xeon e5 2620V4 Broadwell 8c16t CPUs so 2x 8c16t making it 16c32t.

Sweet rig.

Sweet rig.

What I mean, is, the only difference between the pwrite successfully writing and it failing is the call to clock()

So in pseudoCode, not working:
time = clock();
methodThatCallsPWrite();

And just to have mentioned it, nothing segfaults.

@Fast-Nop well, thanks, but nothing that'd explain what's going on.

Clion sometimes bugs out and thinks I have declared something as u_int but its getting a char**, which isn't the case.

Saving the header manually fixes it until it bugs out again.

Soooo, yea.

And, Intel PCH with the ME.

@Gregozor2121 nice, didn't know that.

@Condor my Razer blade dies that too.
Habe heard that they go up to 23V when officially rated for 19v

All the VRMs inside can take up to 25V I think.

You can go to work to minutes earlier.

Its a feature.

I went with AKG over-ears for a few years now, but since i can't currently geht replacement earpads, i guess AKG is dead to me.

Beyerdynamic seems cool.

Optane itself is rather expensive and those small accelerator modules are bound to tricky hard and software questions. So no HDD+optane in my opinion.

I'd go with the ssd.

Well, Arma in General is a Sandbox for you to do what ever you want.

You can drive, fly, die, shoot, kill, explode everything you want.

The only problem is getting something to shoot at, since that requires you to populate the world with something, probably from the editor.

So this freedom comes with a cost. But I think it is the closest thing to your requirements.

@C0D4 I'd like to, but I'm still not sure if I should consult a lawyer first.

Rgb does not make you an eSports gamer.

@linuxxx wait, what drivers do you use for that card?

AmdGpu is as far as I know, opensource, and in the kernel already.

Well, i kind of hate HP for their FlexLom bullshit.

Though, you can get pretty cheap FDR / (40/56) Gbit Mellanox cards for it on the used market.

Though my grudges are fuled by the licensing bullshit that Lenovo / ibm did on theirs.

Supermicro / Asus for the win!

@linuxxx well, then there shouldn't be a problem

@linuxxx well, sadly, you being fucked by your budget is very likely.

Another option would be to fix your old rig.

What's exactly wrong with it?
I can't remember you ranting about what actually happened.

I can Recommend the Radeon pro WX9100
6mini DP.

Though, a bit expensive. 😂

@linuxxx you need to check if the card can actually run all 6 outputs simultaneously.

Just because the card has 6ports, doesn't mean you can drive 6 displays at once.

For instance, Nvidia, limits it to 3 monitors per card, if I'm not mistaking.
Unless Quadro or something like that, of cause.

On the and RX480 and 580, 4 monitors work.
On aftermarket cards with a 5th, I can't tell, don't have experience with that.

You might want to take a look at a fire pro or radeon pro since those are aimed at something like those crazy multiple monitor setups.

@linuxx I can offer you a Supermicro X9DRI-F and a 2620 v1,
Though it's narrow ilm, only few coolers fit that. The good NOCTUAs are, well, quality priced.

Though I could put one in to the box.
Platform is C602, takes regular ddr3 as well as ECC and Reg ECC.

@wowotek yes, threadripper would be good.

Though, I haven't seen any TR drop below 300€ used.
So you can clearly see that even though that be Great, TR is not in the 500 something budget range.
Not even close.

A ryzen 5 1600 would be doable though, I think.
I'm certain that a E5 1600 is doable if you buy used.

@vlatkozelka most likely not.
