S[h]O[r]T: thanks. let me know if it's failing to connect |
|
01:22
๐
|
ivan` |
if you are getting 351.3KB/s there is no need, server goes down tomorrow |
|
01:22
๐
|
ivan` |
I might be able to wget most of it from a site that has mirrored it and upload the rest with my tiny upstream |
|
01:24
๐
|
ivan` |
in theory that other peer I don't know might stay connected but unlikely |
|
01:24
๐
|
S[h]O[r]T |
well i was getting 2-3MB/s at home but idk why my server is only getting 300 |
|
01:24
๐
|
S[h]O[r]T |
ill start it back up at home |
|

S[h]O[r]T |
server is gigabit |
|
01:25
๐
|
S[h]O[r]T |
could you just rsync it somewhere to me? |
|
01:25
๐
|
S[h]O[r]T |
instead of having to deal with the torrent bs |
|
01:25
๐
|
S[h]O[r]T |
or tar it and i can grab it |
|
01:25
๐
|
ivan` |
rsync has even worse performance than bittorrent |
|
01:25
๐
|
ivan` |
I have an ftp server you can get it from |
|
01:25
๐
|
ivan` |
try 20 connections |

S[h]O[r]T |
rsync is fine if you dont compress |

the problem is that TCP to OVH's datacenter in France does not go fast |
|
01:27
๐

ivan` |
over the Atlantic, that is |
|
01:28
๐
|
S[h]O[r]T |
i can look at the paths if i have a specific ip to see if i can improve them when i grab |
|

I have never used an Apple II and for some reason I really want to |
|
16:00
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
then again that could be said for ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64 |
|
16:01
๐
|
DFJustin |
nice will have to try that on my //c later |
|
16:02
๐

Oh wow that is nutty |

DFJustin |
apple II is a lot of fun to use |
|
16:05
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
Yeah I really want to try one, I just don't know where I can get one |
|
16:05
๐
|
DFJustin |
c64 has more of a learning curve, and I've had a lot of trouble with the hardware |
|
16:05
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
Been surviving on emulators mostly |
|
16:06
๐
|
DFJustin |
ebay is pretty much your main option at this point, I think all the thrift shops have cleared them out by now |
|
16:06
๐
|
DFJustin |
I was lucky enough to get several boxes of stuff at a rummage sale around 10 years ago |
|
16:08
๐
|
DFJustin |
well luck, and going to a lot of rummage sales with bupkes :P |
|
16:09
๐
|
DFJustin |
the //c is convenient because it has a floppy drive and several expansion cards built in |
|
16:10
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
man, emulators are just going to get more and more important aren't they |
|
16:11
๐
|
DFJustin |
definitely, I have two C64s but they are both faulty now, this stuff is not going to work forever |
|
16:12
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
did anyone ever try to make clone C64s / ZXs / Apple 2s / Atari 800s? There's a lot of clones like the RetroNs for consoles so I'm surprised I haven't heard of any for the retro PCs |
|
16:14
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
I mean I heard how Commodore USA tried to release a computer with built in emulators and such, basing the computers around the old C64 keyboards |
|
16:14
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
did that ever go anywhere? |
|
16:14
๐
|
DFJustin |
it came out but nobody really cared I think |
|
16:15
๐
|
DFJustin |
since it was just a modern pc with a weird case and the same ol software emulators |
|
16:15
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
shame that :/ |
|
16:15
๐
|
DFJustin |
no ability to use old peripherals etc |
|
16:17
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
it's going to be slightly odd, almost like an animal extinction event |
|
16:17
๐

BlueMaxim |
one day in anywhere between next year to twenty years |

16:18
๐

BlueMaxim |
we might be hearing something along the lines of "last known working Commodore 64 in museum" |
|
16:18
๐

BlueMaxim |
then a year later, "Commodore 64 officially extinct" |
|
16:19

Commodore One is you guys looking for |

norbert79 |
but it started long time ago |

norbert79 |
and in the scene groups Commdoore 64 is still beloved |
|
16:25
๐
|
norbert79 |
the most used extension used with a C64 is the SD card reader |
|
16:26
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
gonna be a real shame when none of them work anymore. |
|
16:29
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
hmm |
|
16:29
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
it appears the one was discontinued |
|
16:29
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
for a multiple use C64 cartridge |
|
16:29
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
that's really disappointing. |
|
16:34
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
then again to be fair, a clone system will never be able to replace the original |
|
16:48
๐
|
DFJustin |
that cartridge does look pretty sweet though |
|
16:48
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
problem being you need a C64 to use it. D: |
|
16:49
๐
|
DFJustin |
actually you don't, read closer |
|
16:51
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
oh. my bad. dumb me. |
|
16:53
๐
|
DFJustin |
I wonder if that would override the faulty parts on my c64 and make it work |
|
16:54
๐
|
DFJustin |
since it has its own cpu, ram, etc. |
|
16:54
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
something tells me I shouldn't go getting this though, this seems like real expert-level equipment |

is this seriously a modern day low-end PC with Amiga software on it |

17:01

no I think it's for the later powerpc versions of amigaos |
|
17:02

the question is, will they be able to pull in 32 million in a month |

17:41

if they do, that'd be the most successful public crowdfunding venture by far |

17:48
๐

BlueMaxim |
With today's tech and device sizes |

it would be possible to make an awesome Pandora-like pocket PC |

just that nobody has the guts to do it. :| |

you know what I've not heard mentioned recently? the phantom |
|
18:01
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
DFJustin, the performance is pretty sub-par (I'm working off a first gen unit though, the upgraded ones might be better) and a lot of units came botched |
|
18:01
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
like mine only had half the battery time advertised and N64/PSX emus wouldn't work properly |
|
18:02
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
to put it in basic words |
|
18:02
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
the computer side wasn't very good |
|
18:02
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
and the emulator / homebrew side could be done better through a hacked PSP |
|
18:02
๐
|
BlueMaxim |
I replaced my Pandora with a netbook about a month later and was a lot happier |
|

BlueMaxim |
they're still working on production line issues |

it's a shame the Vita doesn't have native homebrew support |

yes balrog but the PSM VM is so weak it can't run NES at full speed |

is it safe to disconnect the fan? |

maybe not, you are likely to get video corruption and gpu crash |

safer on windows vista+ where the video driver will restart |

consider buying a passive card with no fan for $30ish |

yeah, i think i might |

okay, i'm glad i asked :) |

i was having *other* problems with crashes because it had bad memory, which i un-mapped in the kernel, and if i had unplugged the fan i wouldn't have known if it was the fan-unplugging or more bad RAM |
