The two methods were the ones I use on a regular basis. Safe Mode is crucial and a great way to start. To even see if it is your OS causing issues or a third party application. Usually when I get an error that crashes or forces a hard restart on my PC such as a freeze. Launching into safe mode then using that time to tweak some settings I think could be an issue is great. Then relaunch normally and see if that fixed the issue. SFC is another tool I use regularly it helps with a lot of my streaming software and checking to make sure everything is where it needs to be and not corrupted or anything crazy like that.
I really like both of your summaries of each of these. Well done, and God bless!
This verse is one that we always talked about in my youth group. We were always told, “faith is not about seeing miracles every day”. To this day I still hold that near and dear to my heart. As a child I was always asking God for miracles or crazy things that I wanted to happen. For example, like my parents to get back together. However, as I got older I realized it was for the betterment of not only them, but myself included. As I got older and grew into my own adult. I realized that God’s plans will never make sense to me. Nor will I ever understand what he does and why. All I have to do is trust him, and it will become apparent eventually. Even if I believe it will or not. So faith is simply trust. I trust in God to do to me or have a positive effect and know that even when it is negative. He will not give me more than I can handle.
Being able to put files/data off site holds many different benefits. It can make easier for lower end PC’s to be able to access complex programs or files. That they would generally not be able to handle on their own. For example, whenever me and my friends were creating a video game. One of my friends had not had a PC for very long, and was struggling to run Unreal Engine. So being able to “host” the Engine on another platform that then could be streamed to his PC made it so he could work on the project. It also made it possible for all of us to work and edit the files at the same time. Instead of having to rely on a LAN network to do so. All of this was done using Desktop Virtualization. The cons of this were, having the technology/resources to be able to get the system/third party to be able to host it in the first place. Secondly, if we had any issues. We had to go through the third party to fix them.
A second form we have used would be Storage Virtualization. This was used by our group to pull together all of our different story boards/resources for our game development into one large storage solution. All of this was done through One drive and other google apps. Their were very few cons that I could think of with this one. Other than it being less secure. Since all of our data was in one location, and if one of us were to be compromised. It would be possible for someone to steal it all. However, we are all very versed in basic and common sense security so I wouldn’t have foreseen this being an issue.
Trouble shooting windows is something that I do very often. With being a streamer among just general PC maintenance.
I think the most common one I use personally would be a System File Check. In particular if I am having issues with my recording/streaming software. It is very common for me to have issues with audio among other things after a Windows update/or security update. Being able to check and ensure that all of my supporting software is working. For example, any driver updates that I need with third party installers.
The next thing I would say I use. Is Safe Mode. I use this if I am really running low on options, It helps me root out any third party drivers/applications that may be causing crashes, blue screens, ect.
Teisha,
Firstly, I enjoyed reading your post. I did not know the IPsec information, and that it went so commonly with VPN’s. After reading your input on it. It made perfect sense. I think it is funny how just a little bit more input on something can really make things “pop” inside your brain. Something I believe it will be very interesting to see what kind of encryption follows VPN’s and what kind of hardware will be developed to help either the ease of use. For not Tech savvy people. Or to help with the administration duties as well.
Misty,
I really enjoyed reading your post. While I think we agree on most. I thought your explanation of (IP) to be very helpful in my own understanding. You reinforced the fact that it gives everything a unique address. It is key to understand that fact in my opinion. Obviously, if there are multiples of the same IP then packets of data would find their way to different destinations. Thus leading to the loss or corruption of the data.
Also, being able to distinguish between the different protocols and how they interact with each other is another point that I really thought was great to mention. Great post and God Bless.
Patience was something that I try to have on a daily basis. Especially as a father. It is something that is tested every minute of every day. However, I have learned over the last six years or so. It is not about what others do. It is about how you respond to others. I have really made the attempt to hold that thought close. I try my hardest to be understanding and always give others the benefit of the doubt. Even if it costs me my own sanity. Others have said that “I am to nice” or that “I really need to learn to put myself first”. But, I find it harder to do that as I have gotten older for sure.
As far as the pointing others faults out go. I hold my friends to a high standard. I always tell them. When you want my opinion. You are going to get it in full. So be prepared for it to not always be what you want or sometimes expect to hear. I am always honest and never sugar coat things for them. If they value me as a friend. I have always felt they would respect the honesty. Because it is something I appreciate as well.
Encryptions were really interesting to me. I did not realize there were so many different “styles” if you will. RSA or Rivest Shamir Adleman could be used to submit data over the internet. It lets the input of data be “password free”. However, the end user or receiving side need a “pass word” to be able to get the data. This way you have control over who is able to open/view the data you are sending out. Websites is a great place for this to be used, or emails. ECC has a smaller size, meaning it is great for less powerful machines like cell phones or tablets. The next one that peaked my interest was AES I could see this being used in a business setting where data is being exchanged with servers/or storage systems. That way it takes special access to input and export. I could also see this being used as a way for a potential contractor to make sure that a customers data is secure between both contractor and supplier.
TCP/IP a set of protocols in place for all communication devices. Whenever any data is sent/received they act as rules as to how the exchange is made. TCP is more strict in a sense. It runs specific checks to make sure everything is exchanged in the right order and free of errors so to speak. IP on the other hand, is less “secure” as it only ensure that the data is sent to proper place. It has no checks on the data to make sure that it is exactly as it was sent. Both of these are required for the other to function. TCP ensures the data is whole and free of error, and IP ensures that the data is sent to the proper receiving device. Because every device that connects to the internet at one point or another. Must have these to be able to transfer any data to and from.
Forgiveness has always been something I struggled with. Growing up I was abused physically and mentally by my biological mother. To this day I still struggle with truly forgiving her. She makes this even harder to do because. She always brings up the past and flips everything I say into an argument or twists my words to make it seem like I am the one causing the fight. Even after saying “I just want to move on and have a relationship. If not for me, then for your grandson”. God has taught me so much about loving others and doing what is right. However, I still feel like I am always loosing ground with her, even when trying to do the right thing. Anymore I feel it is easier to just let the relationship die completely then to put constant effort in only to receive none in return.
Any prayers for this situation or any advice is more than welcome. Thanks!
Teisha,
I like your other use of classification. “Scopes” is a great term to use to make this more understandable/relatable to someone learning. The definitions were spot on and the use of pairing the areas the connect with the names. Make them all make a bit more sense in my head. The one thing I thought was odd about the quiz at the end of this chapter was the way they used WAN and still referenced a College campus instead of using the CAN classification. Did you notice this as well or did it trip you up?
Carlos,
I really enjoyed the layout, as well as the great simplified definitions in your post. Linux is not something I have ever been to familiar with and am looking forward to seeing what everyone else knows. Being able to read about what you all know. Has been immensely helpful in my learning and understanding.
One question I do have. Is there a way you/anyone else here has to easier manage all the different OS’s and easier differentiate the subtle differences in their commands? This seems like a lot of different knowledge a lot like coding. If you don’t use it. Remembering it is very complicated.
James,
I have also used Canva to make thumbnails for some of my friends who are content creators. It is simple and easy to use. While you may not find everything you need. It is great to learn and get a basic idea of what and how to look at graphic design from a pure beginner in my opinion.
I have not heard of ProPresenter. This is something I will definitely keep in mind for our church services and see what I could do with it. Thank you so much for the information!
Classifications of networks can be summed up in saying they corollate with how large of an area you want to cover. For example, LAN or Local Area Network. Which could be considered a house, smaller building, and usually only consists of a few PC’s or other devices. WAN or Wide Area Networks are essentially linking together LAN’s over a vastly larger area. The classification system is key to providing enough service and not wasting time/resources on areas that do not need to be larger than they are. It also keeps things more efficient. If I know the size and scale of what I am working on, it could lead to more progress or proper resource allocation for specific tasks.
Command lines simply put, are shortcuts used to execute specific functions. For example if I am using a Windows based system. I could use cmd to open the command prompt. Then I could type out a specific function to. For example, scan a drive and see how full it is. Or defragment that drive. Another example I could use is. ipconfig this would show me all the data related to my network and my connection. This gives me access to my IP address. Which then could be shared or used to create locally hosted servers from my PC. Say for, Game servers if I wanted to host for some friends. Instead of using a Peer to Peer connection. I could also keep this server on so long as my system is on. Instead of having to have the game application running. Using chkdsk can be used to show the health of a certain drive. Which can be used in conjunction with a disk path to specify which disk you want to check.
