Topics I've Started

Bronycon 2015.

03 August 2015 - 05:46 AM

Hey guys, been ages since I've posted anything, but the past two years it was always a blast to meet up with people from the server.  

Bronycon 2015 is coming up in like, 4 days about I think and I was wondering who else might be coming along.   

So yeah post up in here if you plan on going.   

  

Finding me shouldn't be hard should you want to, I'm an extremely tall dude that will be wearing a Steven Universe Amethyst cosplay. 

Or those of you who were at the last two will just remember my face likely.     

Another old builder from ages ago, zombie dalmations, will be there too with me, as Pearl, and I'm pretty excited to have people see us together.   

  

So yeah, congregate here about who's all going and I'll see you there maybe. 


Bit of an interesting networking problem, wondering if anyone has some solutions.

10 February 2014 - 04:01 AM

So, when using sites like speedtest.net I get horrible ping (like less than 1mbps) yet functionally my upload speeds seem fine, (less  than 20 ping in games). 
My download speed is fine and I've isolated the problem to my machine.
All other wired and wireless devices get the proper upload speeds, and even when I connected my laptop to the same cable that this machine with the problem is having, I get proper speed.

So I'm certain the problem in my device.

I  have no throttling bloatware, I've checked.

One last interesting note, I tried to update my LAN drivers, that fixed it, but immediately after I rebooted because I had to go the problem was back.


Making Secure Passwords.

01 September 2013 - 03:17 PM

So I'm not sure if anyone else uses any method similar to this but for those who don't know it its a fairly good trick to strengthen any password and keeping it easy to remember.

Say your password is currently Rainbowdash42, whatever. This is not very secure as words and names are easy to crack, even with a few numbers on the end.
For those of you who know what 1337speak is were basically going to take the same reproach with this password.
Whats going to happen is your going to replace any letters that you think a number looks similar to and swap them. 

Also adding a capital in the middle can help, with words like this one making dash capital is an easy way to pop in an extra capital.

Like 1=i 3=e 4=a 5=s 7=t 0=o this kind of thing

 

With this Rainbowdash becomes R41nb0wD45h, Pretty secure but we can go deeper.

 

The old password had 42 at the end, we can still use that but we can enhance it.

 

Start by making this number 3-4 rather than just 2 so perhaps 2042 

 

Now spell one or two of those numbers with letters. For this example ill spell out the first 2 and the 4.

 

two0four2, Adding that to the end of our R41nb0wD45h password will be pretty darn secure, but we can still do one better. 

 

Apply 1337speak to the spelled numbers and capitalize them.

 

Tw00F0ur2, Now add this to the rest of the password.

R41nb0wD45hTw00F0ur2 

 

I'd say thats a pretty DAM secure password, it's got 9 numbers, 11 letters(4 of which capital), and no more than 3 letters or numbers in a row.

 

This new password looks daunting and complicated but all you have to remember here is Rainbow Dash for the word 20 as is 20% cooler, and 42 as in the answer to life the universe and everything from hitch hikers guide to the galaxy.

 

If anyone else know really easy and secure ways of making complicated but remember-able passwords don't hesitate to post, password security is taken too lightly sometimes in my opinion, mostly because secure passwords are hard to remember.

Anyone good with Android builds/ Linux stuff?

07 March 2013 - 03:04 PM

So what I want to do is get an Asus transformer tablet for school because my giant  DELL XPS 17 is too heavy and too battery hog. But for my lunch breaks I like to play mine craft but lets face it pocket edition sucks. So I want an Android build or version of Linux I can install on the tablet that will still allow all its hardware to function properly especially the dock and play desktop minecraft.
