Grrrr.

I'm getting another one of those infuriating, knock-you-out-of-Wrong-Planet-and-redirect-you-to-another-page-ad for a freaking game.

Someone please kill it!! !! !!

Well if it helps I told Alex in the other forum that his website runs like its being hosted on his SNES. I stand by that statement, you can't have more downtime then uptime. Half the time I come here I get a 520 error.

I am actually willing to donate some money for better hardware, software, whatever they need for them to fix this. Not much but maybe $20-$50 but if we all did that then maybe we would have a site that works better then ReactOS.

I think our server is a modified SNES with ReactOS running in a flooded basement full of dead squirrels.

Of course you're probably right, I'm just being finicky

Raleigh: You like Inuyasha and Spirited Away! Did I know that before? I can't remember.

What the hell is this:

A link / pic that doesn't work,

On it, quote system yielding the url for the win

So I have Skyrim working on Wine now, saves me time from loading a virtual machine every time I want to play it. I think its actually faster on Wine then Windows however that could be related to the fact that one of my eight cores has to run the host OS when running Windows in virtualization, either that or Windows 10 is horrible. I don't remember Skyrim lagging on my GTX 770 on Windows 7 but my GTX 980 ran it pretty poorly in parts on Windows 10. I don't know how much the virtualization had a role in this cause I can run other very stressful graphical programs in my virtual Windows 10 fine. I think Windows 10 is POS to be honest, I am going to reinstall Windows 7 on qemu but in the mean time I going to get as much stuff working on Wine as possible. I would like wine bottles with different wine versions in each bottle, I think I can set this up with different chroots, if not I might be able to sandbox different versions.

Anyway Skyrim Linux, admire now, also its maxed out, the only difference is some shadows don't work which actually now that I think about it that could also account for why performance is better in Wine vs virtualization.

My eyes have been stinging all day.

Idk, I've written in lots of anime threads.

*ears prick up*

Did someone mention wine?

i bet they're having the time of their lives.

Yes,

Some context for less technical people

Wine - A open source Windows Api that can run on Linux, Mac and ironically even Windows with some work, Wine literally means its not an emulator. It is a programming feat and shows off reverse engineering, however, since its not the original code of Windows, programs often have undesired results and bugs.

Qemu - Virtualization / Emulator, runs on Linux, Mac and Windows but lacks a lot of features under Windows.

Host OS - The base operating system running closer too the hardware then a virtual environment.

chroot - A modified environment which cannot access files and directories outside said environment.

Sandbox - An environment which has limited access to disk, memory, network and other programs outside of the sandbox.

Do NOT ask me the technical different between a chroot and sandbox because I am actually studying the difference and I really don't know why or how they are different. It seems the only difference I can find right now is a sandbox was originally made as a security tool were as chroot was made more for program segregation and compatibility.

Also I am going to bed, goodnight.

Ok, see the part I put in red?
That's the only part I actually understood of that explanation

Goodnight.
