Making this post is a mistake.
i'm a mistake
Joining Facepunch was a mistake, just look at how many posts and wasted hours of my life.. gone.
The obvious conclusion is everything was a mistake
Would you guys shut up already

This post better be a mistake

Implying you had a better way to spend those hours.
[QUOTE=nikomo;52357468]Implying you had a better way to spend those hours.[/QUOTE]
Who knows, I could have spent that time learning to program stuff, do other things and be productive.
I averaged 8.42 posts per day, started when I was in high school. Probably could have spent that time doing better in high school, college, life, etc. Who knows.

Could this be signs of a dying drive????
Kinda hope not. It will happily take a huge chunk of data then be like LOL NOPE gonna freeze for a few seconds then continue at full speed like nothing happened.[/QUOTE]
Could probably tell you a bit better with some SMART info from like CrystalDiskInfo, but seems mostly fine from what I can tell?
Google Cloud VM's are pretty quick with rclone.

Big problem is still ratelimiting if moving lots of small files though.
Oh boy, where do I even start with this one.
Last September, I purchased some DDR3 for my desktop machine. I was using 4x2GB sticks, where one of them was different from the others. But I wanted to move over to 16GB.
So I bought HX318C10FBK2/16 - 2x8GB 1866MHz CL10 1.5V Kingston HyperX Fury.
I followed the manual for my motherboard: [URL]http://asrock.nl/downloadsite/Manual/980DE3U3S3.pdf[/URL] page 16
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XPdPCQE.png[/IMG]
Install memory correctly. Single channel mode.
Swap slots, single channel mode.
Swap slots and lower timings, single channel mode.
Swap slots, single channel mode.
Upgrade BIOS to latest and swap slots, single channel mode.
Swap slots, single channel mode.
So I threw the RAM into my storage cupboard never to be seen again. Until today.
Figure I'll have a go at it.
Throw the memory into the [B]slots designated in the manual[/B], single channel mode.
Set timings as described by RAM module datasheet, single channel mode.
[I]Put the sticks in the exact opposite of what the motherboard manual tells me to use[/I] (for those following at home, that's A1 and B1), dual channel. 16GB usable.
Fuck me, I don't even know what the issue was, fully.
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52359720]See smart data checks out ok(checked it last night) but this literally causes issues with pretty much anything. Recording it will drop all the frames until the HDD recovers. Games it will freeze until it also recovers. Copying takes much longer.
I'm sure it's dying it's just being very fucking stubborn about it.[/QUOTE]
i had this happen with my ~10 year old hitachi drive. chrome would hang on waiting for cache until it fixes itself. i just ended up retiring it and switching it with the 1tb wd blue that my friend sold me
[editline]14th June 2017[/editline]
probably gonna get a sata->usb and recover the data later
I hit 4.1Gbps upload on this Google VM. due to the realtime decryption and encryption, 6x 2.3ghz vCPU's are at 99%.
BTC and ETH dropping.
I traded the ETH I had in my wallet to LTC. If ETH drops by a shitload, I'll just trade back and hope that makes sense, because I'm not sure it does.
Thankfully I can just do random actions because I mined all my coin for free so I have no money in the game. If I had to actually think about this and worry about stuff, I'd be jumping out a window right now.
I remember reading something about a cmd opening up randomly in windows with ms office and got it too lately. Here's a fix if someone else has it or one wasn't posted.

i invested $5000 into this recent buttcoin craze a few days ago because but accidentally set my autosell too conservative and came out with only $5170 with coinbase / gdax crashing right during the important bit
oh well, i guess i can buy a mildly disappointing game or two on steam to make up for the mildly disappointing use of time.
The fact that you dumped $5k and didn't lose it all sounds like a win to me.
[QUOTE=Del91;52361566]The fact that you dumped $5k and didn't lose it all sounds like a win to me.[/QUOTE]
Basically this.
Buttcoin's values are pretty much driven solely by market manipulation at this point. It's pretty unwise to play with real money because of so.
So the family desktop is having issues again. This time around, some idiot dropped a microphone on it. From the table to the top of the case and now it doesn't boot. I fixed it by doing a system restore and other repair things. Now the hard drive was clicking and it's a WD Black from like.. Maybe 2.5 years ago so it should still be in warranty. I have yet to check SMART on it but ffs, how can you drop a literal (Snowball) microphone onto it (maybe 1-2 feet) causing it to stop working. Did that really fuck up the mechanical hard drive..? Issues that could have been prevented with an SSD #512
[QUOTE=garychencool;52362201]Did that really fuck up the mechanical hard drive..?[/QUOTE]
Maybe the harddrive was on its way out, and just a small vibration was needed for it to fuck up...
Speaking of things fucking up, two of my friends have been very unfortunate with flash storage this year. One of them was an M.2 SSD in a two month old Dell XPS which, to make matters worse, had quite a bit of Dash currency on it.
The other friend had a microSD card corrupt itself in a gopro, and I've only been able to recover the stills from it.
Meanwhile, I'm using an ancient OCZ SSD and I've never had an SD card corrupt itself (And I use SD cards very often)...
Installing Windows Server 2016 on a VM on my Arch server because it's 2017 and Linux still doesn't have any tools that can successfully convert mdf + mds and still have the software installable.
This feels wrong.
We got a Verizon 4GLTE modem/router so we can have home internet without having to use phone hotspots. It's actually surprisingly excellent. 16.5 up and 16.5 down with 60m/s ping. So far it's been really stable, too. The router also has pretty good management capabilities and 5Ghz abilities. It'll be nice to finally be able to host servers for my friends.
Jesus Christ. Don't buy a Ford. Not because they're bad cars, but because after your free Sirius XM expires, they will keep calling you, even if you answer and tell them you aren't interested at all. On two different occasions. This is the third time they have tried to call me and it'll be daily, sometimes twice a day, unsolicited calls until I tell them I'm not interested.
Why on Earth I would pay an extra $20 a month when I already have Google Play Music and an unlimited data plan? Fuck off please?

Both my parents Fords had XM and they both got calls. My mom even sold her truck and they [I]still[/I] keep calling her. We ended up blocking their number.

It's no wonder they're so desperate for subscriptions; it's almost as if charging that much for a service that for most people is 100% replaceable and spending this much time and effort on cold calling folks with expired trials is not a sustainable business model.
