I guess it's worse when you have to rebuild a package each time it fails and you get absolutely no notification whatsoever, especially when it's a really huge package. This might even literally be the reason Gentoo has the news thing.
Can anyone recommend a decent harddrive diagnostic tool?
[QUOTE=lekkimsm;45642749]Can anyone recommend a decent harddrive diagnostic tool?[/QUOTE]
Seatools or HDTune
Seatools. HDtune isn't very thorough imo.
[QUOTE=lavacano;45642453]Pretty sure Gentoo is an enthusiast distro as well, and it takes care to even warn the ~arch users that some big thing is about to happen, whereas Arch just waltzes in with a fucking sledgehammer and breaks things and then flips out at you when you don't see the post hidden away in some obscure section of the site.
Basically Arch needs to die. If you [b]need[/b] a binary rolling release distro there's Debian's sid/jessie/unstable/whatever it's called[/QUOTE]
1) I've yet to have Arch break from an update, and I've been using it for a fairly long time now.
2) Debian sid's packages are ridiculously out-of-date - some stuff is several months old, which is not even close to being cool for something rolling-release.
If I see a shitload of packages being updated, I'll check the news on the their website (which is right on the [url="https://www.archlinux.org/"]frontpage[/url]), but I've yet to run into anything show-stopping.
Things might be different if I'd been around for the systemd migration, or the /usr/bin change, so we'll just have to wait and see when the next "big thing" is, and how big it is.
I use CrystalDisk Info
3 hours spent uploading a video to YouTube.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck you.

No, it's not.

HDTune isn't as thorough but it provides a bunch of data. Not what you want to completely base everything off of, but definitely a great tool
systemd completely destroyed an arch install I had, but I hadn't booted it for at least 4 months prior, so it may have been a combination of things.
Otherwise it's mostly fine. Had some instability issues, but nothing show stopping. I simply wouldn't use it as a primary OS under any circumstance. What I'd really like to see is a debian stable type release that's not quite so painfully out of date. That would be an amazing "for your parents" OS.

So, do I have to reupload the fuckin' thing or...? Is it possible to like, resubmit the damn thing?
Man, I hate this cloud bullshit, it never works.
That youtube uploader thing I found a page or two ago works, but I had a video fail to process 3 or 4 times. So I'm just going to wait a day or two and I'll get around to it.
So much more convenient to be able to just shove it off my vps in a minute rather than dicking around with my upload for hours repatedly.

Just wait. NothernLion has been uploading the same video like 15times per day. It's a massive issue.
[QUOTE=nikomo;45642918]1) I've yet to have Arch break from an update, and I've been using it for a fairly long time now.[/quote]
It was a near constant thing for me, and I didn't even know pacman [b]had[/b] a --force option until after I'd given up and installed another distro (because why the fuck would a package manager need a --force option, if it doesn't work without it why the hell would it work when you force it)
[quote]2) Debian sid's packages are ridiculously out-of-date - some stuff is several months old, which is not even close to being cool for something rolling-release.[/quote]
It might not be sid I'm thinking of, but there was definitely a rolling-release Debian version that had recent packages. In fact I think my netbook is using it right now.

After two years, my Seagate hard drive dies two months later after warranty had expired. Yeah...
I won't buy drives that don't have 5+ year warranties anymore. On top of that I won't touch anything unless the reviews are stellar.
This particular drive was supposed to be one of the best if not the best 2TB drive out there.
Perhaps I just had bad luck. [sp]jk seagate sucks[/sp]
I just came back from an all day trip with 2 hours of sleep + 1.5 hours on the ride there + 1.5 on the ride back to go for dinner like 6 hours later and 0.5 hours ride back home. I still feel like I can stay up until 3am. Wow.

[QUOTE=PredGD;45640369]I wouldn't dare installing XP on any of my machines now that there are no more security updates. who knows, may be an exploit which can be abused for remote access which may be uncovered one day. I'd rather not risk that[/QUOTE]
