    I would love to buy it but Im out of money rn and I get paid on the 7th or 8th, the sale ends on the 6th.

    Can anyone buy it for me and I pay you back later via Paypal or smt? (Preferably someone who's currency isnt gold bars)

    I got you

    Great that it's on sale but if you are not ready to spend MOST of your life working out its complexities, pass on it. DLC alone are enough to drive one to implode.

    This is so dramatic lol. It isnt that complicated.. I'd argue that PR is just as complicated if not more than vanilla arma. The complexity usually comes from mods, but even then it isn't that bad. You wont be playing it alone, so just do what the rest of us do and ask one of us how something works if you're unsure.

  3. I'm a network architect (network engineering) at an ISP/Cloud company in the UK.

     

    Definitely requires reasonable fundamental math skills. Understanding how the protocols work require it a little too. But the day to day of the job barely has any math. Nothing complicated anyway. Its a good career. Glad I chose it. Some cool stuff happening in the field too. But it might have a reasonable amount of math at uni.

  4. Ive got the RTX2070 from MSI. They do have a known issue where they can fail in under a month. I dunno if it was a bad batch or what. My card failed in about 3 weeks. Amazon replaced it without issue, been solid ever since. i7700k with 500gb EVO SSD, MSI z270 gaming pro carbon and 64gb DDR4 overclocked to 3000mhz using intels XMP 2.0 profile. Works really well. Will need to add another SSD as im pretty much full on the 500gb. 

    I wouldn't raid0 your OS. Either RAID1 or RAID10 (1 + 0). If one of your disks fail on a raid 0 the array is comprised and fails, so doubling your risk just for a bit of read/write. RAID1 will see you get a write penalty (as data has to be written to 2 disks) but you will get a read gain, as you can read the data from either disk. If you're gaming you'll be reading maps and textures from disk, so you'll see increase loading times, plus you'll gain hard disk redundancy. Just remember if you do software RAID on windows, I think it writes the bootloader to 1 of the drives, so if that fails the other drive wont have the bootloader and windows wont boot, but the data will be there. But if this is just an OS drive with apps installed then you probably dont care that much about data. You can install the bootloader to both disks without too much hassle. There are a number of guides. I did it to the german dedi after we lost a disk in raid1 that contained the bootloader and we ended up reinstalling because of it. I'm pretty sure that was on 2008R2, so I dunno what the case is now. 

     

    Machines a beast, though!

  5. I'll keep it short and sweet.

     

    We now (finally) have SSL (TLS) on the website. Your usernames and passwords are secure in transit! We've also made it so general browsing on the site is all done through TLS. That being said, please be careful about what images you link to the site. If it does not have HTTPS it will cause web browsers to report the site as not fully secure as some content is provided via HTTP. If it continues to happen I'll probably have to stop 3rd party linked images being displayed on the site. 

     

    We've also gone IPv6!

    I've got some other bits and bobs I need to do in the background, but thats it for now! Report any issues you may find to myself or Semler. I'll assume no news is good news!

  6. I've upgraded our website to the latest stable version on our current branch. This mostly went according to plan.

     

    Unfortunately the theme we use doesn't seem to be fully compatible. Most of the site works on the old theme but the index page does not. I've switched the default theme to this basic one for now, until we can get the updated theme files and hopefully fix the issue.

     

    Bear with me.

     

    Regards
