Re: PlanetZ Forums Update & Bot trafffic

Interesting, but also shocking. I didn't expect "door knocking" to eat such an amount of traffic.
(At TCPV4, there's just a SYN packet, which will be dropped on receive.. but 40 byte multiplied by a few million attempts blow up the traffic)

From business routers I know features, that block an IP if ...

Is there a way to defeat bots by some "annoying" features like captchas ?

Is the attac only addressing forums.scopeusers.com or some higher level of the hosting company ?

What ist the highest and lowest frequency required for measurement ?
Shouldn't something up to 2kHz catch your highest tones ?

Re: Epic Total Meltdown of my 3 card Scope System

PCI is often handled by chips, which get pretty hot. Some boards had little fans, which generate ugly noise. Some had nothing.
On a larger scale, a dying PCI is not a rare event. On 500 PCs running 24/7 for 10 years, at least 10 failed due to PCI.

Re: Epic Total Meltdown of my 3 card Scope System

.. just an idea, when an other pc doesn't bring any news:
As the powerpulsar has that floppy-powerconnector, that additional pcb might have been affected, if there really were severe PSU problems.
You could open the screws and just remove that pcb. Then try the "naked card" together with the pulsar1.

Re: Epic Total Meltdown of my 3 card Scope System

No scope or midi inputs on the powerpulsar might point to the additional pcb on the back of the card. 6&15 DSP cards show up in scope without IO, if this pcb is missing or defective. On your pulsar1, you should have midi and audio.

For the PSU: Very cheap and very old PSU can only regulate a ...

Re: Epic Total Meltdown of my 3 card Scope System

Some recommendations:
*Don't use an UPS while hunting bugs. Depending on model, an UPS in online mode can also cause pc to crash.
*Don't use the A16, try with onboard ADDA of the pulsars first.
*Try the masterverb-test for some time. Does the pc crash ?
*Try to test in an other mainboard.

My guess ...

Re: XITE-1 PC CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Some years ago, I compiled audacity with asio support. (You'll need to compile yourself due to some legal stuff.) Unfortunately, it made scope go BSOD. I don't understand, why scope isn't robust enough to avoid the BSOD.
Maybe there is some asio-in-between-layer-tool, which protects the scope asio ...

Re: XITE-1 PC CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Very interesting story, valis. I saw RAMBus from an electronic perspective, where the high frequency caused lots of troubles, especially because of RAM connectors and chip housing were facing resonances.
PCIe and SATA showed, that over time, electronics have evolved. Maybe some aspects of the ...

At the age of P4/RAMbus, I worked with spice simulations. RAMbus hat some serious issues in its design. There was no big performance advantage over parallel RAM and it was more expensive.

Re: no need to cry after sts samplers, vst does it also better

I don't know the software architecture of scope, nor am I familiar with driver development under W10/11, but I did similar stuff with linux.
All control communication runs through the card's driver on the OS-side. Focus is required on DMA-transfers by the card. (Here I wonder, why masterverb works ...

I never used STS much, but some years ago, I had them running stable under 64bit on a clean installed windows. I had to make sure, that there is no other soundcard in the system, thus disabling all drivers for onboard sound. Unfortunately, I used some other devices (VDAT ?) and a series of ...

Not sure, what really runs over that HDMI cable. It might be PCIe.
