*UPDATE*

Running:
"sudo ethtool -s [connection name] speed 1000 duplex full" has now gotten me to similar, if not the same, transfer speed as when I used the Macbook.

Still not blisteringly fast... but it's better! I'm putting the remaining the lack of speed down to my crappy ISP-provided router.

#Linux noob(ish) here, in need of a little #help.

Can anyone lend a hand?

I've attached a screenshot of a small wall of text that I couldn't fit into a post on here. :P https://computerfairi.es/media/NtKRT6MdDFeRl-B3UPk

uh... no? https://computerfairi.es/media/8IyHOgZ9k3i41z3_2oQ

I finally have a fully functioning desktop computer!

After trying to fight my way into getting SSD caching working on Debian 9, instead, I just installed Debian 8 with the bare minimum to get caching working then upgraded to 9.

I can game again! ;n;

Anyone happen to be in the market for a Sony A7R? Only 1033 shutter actuations.

Also selling the 35mm f/2.8 Zeiss (SEL35F28Z) and 70-200mm f/4 G (SEL70200G).

Selling for £25 cheaper here, 'cos you're all great.

A7R - £750
70-200 - £750
35 - £350

Have original boxes for all of 'em.

Not interested? Boost to help them find a home. <3

Fun fact: I've never been drunk before.

Hello. <3

One more!

Or, rather, two more?

Testing out the new camera. :3

These'll have to do until I can get my ass outside.

Two months later, they finally approved the cashback request. 🎉 https://computerfairi.es/media/B3ZOnCEILu1vP1_DijQ

a very reassuring "click"

like... I can't even describe how good it is :P

ok so I got a new camera which has an electronic shutter mode, so no shutter sound at all...

except, the sound of the shutter is super satisfying and I don't want to turn it off

Heh. Delivery from John Lewis is being delivered by someone called John.

Riveting.

I thought Debian was supposed to be oh-so-stable and thoroughly tested, and so-on?

Debian 9 is proving to be a huge pain in the arse. Strongly considering switching distros completely, or at least rolling back to 8 'til 9 is usable.

AMD's new CPU is too pointy. https://computerfairi.es/media/FfRXiHrZlUlUcAcr29M

...I didn't realise that the easily accessible option to "deactivate" your account doesn't actually deactivate it. It pretty much just turns off notifications and hides your account from everyone. Farcebook keeps your account, pictures, posts, etc indefinitely.

To properly delete your account, you need to search around.

So long and thanks for all the fish. o/ https://computerfairi.es/media/vNU4nMYwG8ZBdq1cK0I

Y'know... I should probably watch the matrix movies some time.

Saw a shipping company called "Midas" yesterday.

I'm disappointed that it wasn't a refrigerated one, and that it didn't say "Everything we touch turns to cold" on the side.
