For me, it would have to either be me figuring out how to use the command line on Windows quite well by myself (Quite hard to do, but I got there after 5-6 weeks xD)

If not that, it would be learning to maintain an Insurgency server and NOT break it. As XO in the past, I would regularly restart the server at the wrong time, change a server variable that I shouldn't ect. This is probably more practical as I do play Insurgency regularly and I can apply that over command line which I probably will never use. Either way, reply with your best technical accomplishment or skill!

If we are talking technical, then probably setting up an Airwave server running on CentOS.

 

If we are talking difficulty, correctly installing Arch Linux.

Define "technical" :P

Speaking of hardware
, I have built many computers.

Speaking of servers
I have ran httpd, ircd, pop3, teamspeak3 servers and some bots and stuff on linux and FreeBSD. I have used shells and ssh too.

 

Speaking of programming

I have done a little bit of this and little bit of that when it comes to programming and databases but nothing serious. Mostly executing queries or normalizing databases. An ice hockey game using Winapi. A minimalistic game engine which has WASD key movement, camera zoom in/out, shadows, light calculations and normalization on OpenGL. Some assembly stuff like .dll injection, api hooking. Some low/high pass filter on a breadboard which is feeded with audio signal and as a results LEDs would light up/fade depending on audio frequencies (bass, mid, treble etc..)

 

Speaking of networks/web

Setting up 6to4 tunnels, setting up dns records, some html4 coding, some flash coding, setting up my home network

 

P.S: I am one of those few people who prefers notepad++, gnu make, g++, makefiles over visual studio and such.
Smartphone? I don't have one and I am not planning to buy one.
Facebook? Still using irc.
Spotify? Still using winamp.

My programming teacher told me to Cure Cancer(not kidding) and I did so probably that. If that doesn't count then probably building a computer XD which is not that hard.

Writing an algorithm which every day analyzes more than 10 billion lines of data and is faster than previous one (also my own created).

 

It literally took me about few weeks to write, test, analyze, test again and again and all those milliseconds "winning" time - not worth it, if you ask me.

I used to do a lot of virus testing. Like what they would do on different versions of windows on a VM ect. Even tested out which AV for my High school to use when they switched to windows (I recommended Kaspersky + Mbab ) But i had to stop when I got an email from my ISP saying they were getting concerned i was making a botnet virus.
