    Stephen Hawking on AI - "Could end the human race"

    Haha I guess I fall into that category since I was a "Frat Boy"? (and now as an Alumni, serve on the Alumni Board) Honestly, I believe it's simply a tool to make our lives easier, or make our jobs obsolete.  I mean you don't blame the rifle for shooting someone, you blame the person who was...

    Hardening my server / Reality check

    I'm too lazy to check myself, but maybe take a look at this: https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/bulletins/SB14-335 Could be a recently vulnerability it was testing for.   But honestly, what MartinD said is right.  "Because China".   Most of the malicious traffic I get from my servers are also from...

    Stephen Hawking on AI - "Could end the human race"

    And....  I love this comment so much because this is basically part of what I do.  I mean it used to be ALL I did.  But now it's a part of what I do (granted it's still a big part).  If you guys ever been in a NWS office, it's all just computers (at least the one I visited outside of DC).  The...

    Stephen Hawking on AI - "Could end the human race"

    Eh I don't think sentient will play any role in it (that's relating Robots to Humans.  Robots don't have to be humans at all to create knowledge).   You also forgot this definition of knowledge: awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Robots can be familiar with a...

    Stephen Hawking on AI - "Could end the human race"

    Well...  I'll just leave this here. (CGP Grey is awesome) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU tldr: People are creating programs that are "learning".  One of the biggest things they have setup right now is that it sees the initial, it sees the result, it tries to figure out how to get...

    Your OpenVPN server might be at risk

    Hm interesting news.  Any information if they're going to update the repos?

    Ohh! We also have reached Quantum State

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    No downtime!  Yes!   No uptime too! That's like....  0% accuracy right there!

    Black Friday and Cyber Monday isn't too far away. Who had the best deals last year?

    Nice! I got a Turnkey Internet VPS.  Honestly first I was a bit underwhelmed by the network, Cogent and HE only.  However it didn't end up being too bad and I switched it over to Xen HVM for Windows Server.   Not bad.  Not bad.

    Android Phone Full Regular Backups

    *gasp*!  But I didn't even own the right to the movie I backed up to "THE CLOUD"!!!  Google is literally stealing IP from hard working movie producers and actors!

    Which nameservers do You use?

    ... Yeah of course it would be funny if we did. *whistles innocently*

    Show your uptime!

    Closed since we already have a thread about it:  :)

    Android Phone Full Regular Backups

    Howdy!  Thanks for the suggestion, but (as stated with previous Google Drive/Google+/Dropbox/Other third-party  suggestions): I'd prefer more of a self-hosted solution so I can take care of everything via CLI and prepare it the way I'd like to (I can also move it to be used with a script of mine...

    Android Phone Full Regular Backups

    Yeah I was looking at those too.  RSYNC and then have a script server-side that does daily backups + weekly backups + yearly backups.  Instead though I'm simply going with btsync and have the application set to my policies (I just set it up last night so we'll see if it's working the way it's...

    Android Phone Full Regular Backups

    Eh like I said before.  I'd prefer more of a self-hosted solution so I can take care of everything via CLI and prepare it the way I'd like to (I can also move it to be used with a script of mine if needed).   Eh I was thinking more rolling-backups type deal.  I think I'll be going more with...

    Android Phone Full Regular Backups

    Ehh, while I do use Google my only issue is that I'd rather have it on a backup platform that I can manage myself. Issue is that OwnCloud has it manually push everytime.  I'm thinking bittorrent sync right now because I'd rather have the server "sync" up to it (even if it's a backup).

    Android Phone Full Regular Backups

    Hm fair enough.  I was looking into Bittorrent Sync and their mobile app during this but OwnCloud could potentially work as well.  Problem is do they also have versioning?  Or any sort of versioning?  (By that I mean Owncloud)
