Introduction To Diskless System

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (If I were you I’d sit down for awhile, makinig makinig sa aking sasabihin), better think twice before setting up your dream LAN Shop or Internet Cafe, because there’s a new technology that may help you save on initial capital and may even be more efficient than the traditional system setups.



A diskless system is a device that contains no physical, rotating hard disk drive media, for example, hard disk emulator technology that uses nonvolatile memory. However, a diskless system might contain a removable storage device other than a hard disk, such as a floppy disk drive or a CD-ROM drive.

» A diskless system can boot from the following file system sources:

» A storage device that does not have physically rotating media, but instead uses flash memory or battery-backed RAM.

» A bootable CD-ROM that uses the Windows XP Embedded Enhanced Write Filter (EWF).

» A file system that is accessible through a network connection, for example, a system that boots from a file system in a remote location.

» ROM-based storage.

A Diskless node (or diskless workstation) is a workstation or personal computer without disk drives, which employs network booting to load its operating system from a server. (A computer may also be said to act as a diskless node, if its disks are unused and network booting is used.) Diskless nodes (or computer acting as such) are sometimes known as network computers or hybrid clients. Hybrid clients may either just mean diskless node, or it may be used in a more particular sense to mean a diskless node which runs some, but not all, applications remotely, as in the thin client computing architecture.

For Lanshops, Schools and Call Centers
Diskless systems are widely used today on Lanshops, Schools, Call Centers and Offices. It offers the best solution regarding maintenance and update issues.  Gone are the days of manual patching and one by one system updates from previous old school methods.

Here are the advantages using diskless setups.

Advantages:
» Lower production cost
» Lower running costs
» Quieter operation
» Manageablity advantages (Ex. Centrally Managed Software Installation for Similar Configurations)
» No Hardisk Crash From Individual Units
» Less Heat Generated From CPU’s

 

Q. Q. Diskless Solutions
QQdisk is a universal system that is open source structured an re-developed by Geran Coliseo, His Cousin From Thailand and Pctechdude of TPC as QA and assistant developer. Our diskless server can read the client nodes of RT, Vxpdisk, ccboot, nxd and etc. The QQ Disk has been revised to fit the Pinoy Lanshop Culture, we try to make it as perfect as possible to suit the needs of our clients. As of now FM2 boards are out there and we are working hard to make it compatible as best way possible. Thanks to all the supporters and clients.

Technical Support
Technical support for diskless servers can be done by remote or site visits. Thou we rarely experience problems with our clients we have a remote system that can monitor or check the clients server. From there we can give instant fix wherever and whenever possible. We use only top rated parts for our servers and network backbones from the very start so we can minimize hardware instability that results in failures.

Dark Souls Gaming Tips

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (red light in traffic signals means stop, red eyes means stop playing too – kaya huwag matigas ang ulo dahil games are no longer fun if you’re just stressed ), here are some gaming tips for the Dark Souls fans to make gameplay more enjoyable.

Games are supposed to be played with “having fun” as the primary reason. So when it becomes to weary to play any further, then something is definitely wrong.







1. Early game, level up on Endurance for stamina. You use stamina for blocking,attacking, and wearing heavy armor (if you plan to use one).

2. Always take note that your equipped gear mo is should be 50% of the total weight mo.

3. When you reach the  Undead Parish and met Andrei the blacksmith (not the giant), start upgrading your weapons and armor. At this point, its more important to upgrade your equipment instead of leveling up because:
a.) If your level is too high, high level players would also invade you so you would really have a difficult time.

b.) Later on sa game, ther would be  monsters that gives high souls for less grind for souls.

4. The strongest weapon? Actually there’s none, choosing a weapon is based on your play-style. Every weapon has unique animation, types of attack and stamina usage. if you prefer thrusting/lunging attacks, you can use spear or rapier, if you want slashing attacks, go for a sword. If you prefer heavy weapons, go for 2 handed weapons or axes. Take note that its slower to wield heavy weapons.

5. The best armor? Again, it would depend on your play-style. If you want to tank and take hits, go heavy armor. If you want fast dodging, go light armor. For heavy armor, you need to be 50% of the total weight mo, or else you will be moving very slow. There are also heavy armorthat slows down stamina recovery (eg. Black Iron Armor) so read their descriptions carefully. Also heavy armors have Poise. The poise is the ability to resist stun. The higher the poise, much less the chances of getting stunned.

6. In choosing a shield: You need to go for 100% Damage Reduction on the physical. Another shield property is Stability. The higher the stability, the higher the chance your stance mo wont get damaged when blocking. There will be a lot of shields available later on. It helps to change shield types often to survive boss fights. Take note of their properties so you would know where they are more effective.

7. Repair your gear. Buy from Andrei a Repair Kit for 2000 souls so you could repair at the bonfire. If you still have extra souls, buy also an Upgrade Kit for Weapon/Armor so you could also upgrade your gear at the bonfire. Better to do this before going to the Depths.

8. If you die, retrieve your bloodstain (green glowing orb), to get your souls/humanity before you died. Take note that if you die before retrieving your bloodstain, you will lose the previous bloodstain (goodbye souls and humanity).

9. Humanity is used to kindle bonfire (for more estus flasks). You could also summon phantoms if human for some jolly co-operation if you need assistance. Loot drops are also better when you’re human.

10. Don’t play when you’re hungry/in a bad mood/tired. You will die. Lots of times. 

11. If you keep on getting killed, stop for awhile. Relax and take it easy, eat up, watch TV, do anything.

Cybercrime Law of the Philippines Infographics

Tekkie Tekkie Muna (Call your friends and let’s debate on these discussions bago pa man tamaan tayo ng ngitngit ng paghihiganti ng mga apektado ng cyber bullying), sorry for being so political these past posts but the Cybercrime Law in the Philippines aka the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is quite controversial and timely to be discussed and debated upon before  the Supreme Court TRO expires and we get struck by its might!



“Department of Justice Assistant Secretary Geronimo Sy explained that laws on cybercrime are considered as the 3rd building block of legislations necessary to protect the people from crimes committed in cyberspace and use of ICT.

I always look at cybercrime as something under the 2nd block or special penal laws (where I think the E-Commerce Law is in). Although it seems there is now a set of laws in place that are already in that 3rd block and increasing further (which may already include the E-Commerce Law as it is the first policy in place against hacking and online piracy).

As we use and integrate ICT and Internet in our lives, perhaps it is possible that new forms of crimes can happen online and where broader or special legislation will have to be created (that provides mandate for resource allotment too). Nevertheless, that perspective, whether agreeable or not, brings the importance of having more organized groups of netizens who can interact with policy makers proactively on Internet / ICT related policies and do its share of stakeholder consultation.”

“As the Cybercrime Prevention Act is on TRO, the cybercrime provisions of Republic Act 8792 (Section 33) is once again in effect. For folks unfamiliar with the E-Commerce Law penalties (section 33), I hope this can help.”

For torrent sites,  as long as you have a copyright holder or group suing for unauthorized copying (regardless of online source), it is covered.

“Version 1 of electronic libel infograph – The insertion of Libel in the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 caused a lot of confusion and this is what we got after checking out sources. Electronic libel is a crime under this act (libel committed with the use of ICT) and as an addition under the Revised Penal Code (if concurrently committing the libel crime in traditional form). Some see this giving room to double-jeopardy.”
That is true unless it is only pursued legally under one of the two possible legal outlets. Double jeopardy means that you cannot be tried for the same offense twice, but as we have seen a person can be pursued under criminally but also under civil (as we saw with OJ Simpson).
