    xterm with contextual history?

    Anyone know of a terminal that stores previous commands specific to the location it is opened in? Currently I have a cheat sheet text doc for the complex stuff (lengthy multiple args to pass etc) that I can't remember that I cut/paste from but it would be nice to just hit the up arrow once or...

    Linux Mint + Ryzen...?

    No, AUR repos definitely enabled. Yep, AUR definitely enabled. Finally got it working though through the VPN with the following caveats: 1. Needs to run as root (bad, very bad, I know) 2. Needs to run on Chromium, Firefox isn't playing at all 3. SSL, LOL, even after opening 563 on ufw Reminds...

    Linux Mint + Ryzen...?

    Exactly that. Seems I need to install a bunch of python 2.7.x stuff as it doesn't work with python 3.x At least I'm on the right track, thanks again! Stu.

    Linux Mint + Ryzen...?

    They do indeed! Got it working via this well-hidden link in the IPVanish site: https://support.ipvanish.com/customer/portal/articles/1969179-openvpn-linux-command-line- Had to do it via CLI and also do a "sudo ufw allow 1194" , none of the GUI tools worked even when launched as root, but it...

    Linux Mint + Ryzen...?

    I've been testing IPVanish. Works perfectly on Android and Mint, zero joy on Antergos. Also no joy with Steam or sabnzbd+... :( Tor works fine though from the Tor site, so not all is lost. Edit: Steam needed : lib32-nvidia-libgl lib32-pango lib32-pangox-compat Installed fine then, now just...

    Linux Mint + Ryzen...?

    The live. No biggie though time-wise, I had the nvidia drivers, hplip and libre-office and a bunch of other stuff installed all at once. Any excuse or a coffee break. :) Can't get my VPN working but that's the only problem so far.

    Linux Mint + Ryzen...?

    I think I am, just d/l'd the latest. Still getting to grips with it. Installed the MATE desktop but may switch to XFCE or KDE. Posting rom my new Ryzen rig BTW... :) Some notes for anyone following a similar path: 1. Your flash media MUST be labelled ANTERGOS via gparted/unetbootin or...

    Linux Mint + Ryzen...?

    Update: here is my current OCUK basket: I've decided to to with Antergos17.3 as updating kernels on Mint/*buntu seems like a PITA and I fancy a change anyway. Always liked the sound of Arch but never got round to trying it. Anyone see any obvious problems? It will be paired with an EVGA 600W...

    Thanks guys, will see about updating my kernel.

    Linux Mint + Ryzen...?

    Any linux users here made the switch to Ryzen? I intend to in the very near future but have two concerns: 1. The last two mobos I've bought (el-cheapo Gigabyte and Asus models for mining rigs) have both needed hours of fargling about to get rid of Windows Secure Boot or whatever it's called...

    *** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

    I've never understood why game devs in particular have such a hard time writing multithreaded code. I'm not a game dev but I write a lot of code and it's trivial to multithread your app and apply OS/CPU-specific branching if you need to. Need to write your own scheduler? Takes ******' minutes...

    ***The Vapers Lounge*** 3.0

    Hi all, hoping for a little advice, returning to vaping after a year back on the ciggies... My last unit was this: When it worked it was great, love the brass look and feel, not ultramassive, but it's threaded in 3 places and each time I used it I had to noodle about with it to get it...

    Spec me a good pair of speakers please!

    Thanks! :) Will check these out, thank you! :) Yeah I knew the "budget unlimited" thing would annoy some folk. I said it deliberately for the following reasons: #1. I really am an old fart with some cash to burn. #2. Some things I have expertise in. Audio is not one of them, so I...

    Spec me a good pair of speakers please!

    Wow, thanks or the suggestions! These look good, first Google hit got me them for £100. Amp only has L/R outputs though, will they work? I love the Blakes7 look of these things, but they seem to have flimsy feet. Surely a speaker needs anchored mass? OK, in approximate order... Yes, about...

    Spec me a good pair of speakers please!

    They look feeble. ;) I can deadlift 210kg for 6 clean comp-qualifying reps. I want speakers that match me in my decrepitude.

    Spec me a good pair of speakers please!

    I'm an old man and my wife is forgiving... ;) Don't care about size, I can make accommodations. I just don't want to be listening to square waves. Last speakers I had were B&O units. Hefty but not quite up to the job. They got chucked out by mistake in a house move. Room in question is...

    Spec me a good pair of speakers please!

    I have an ancient Acoustic Solutions amp, puts out about 40W RMS @ 4 ohms IIRC. It's old hat but I like it, nice clean crisp sound. Just need left and right, not 17.1 Budget unlimited, but I don't want to be paying fortunes more than necessary for gold plated diamond encrusted connectors...

    Which PSU to run six 4GB Sapphire Radeon RX 470 NITRO cards

    I have an EVGA G2 1000W PSU which I've been torturing or at least 3 years now, 24/7. Got it in the MM so lord knows how old it actually is. Comes with loads if GPU power leads too. About the powered risers, make sure you use USB/SATA ones, the MOLEX ones are all crap, and yes you can stick the...
