How many usable IP addresses are in a single Class C block?

EXPLANATION

There are 256 actual addresses, but the 0 and 255 host addresses are not usable, giving you only 254 usable addresses. The .255 is used as the broadcast address, anything sent to that address should be answered by all devices in the same IP Block. The .0 address is reserved as the network address and is not usable as a host address.

  Which of the Following is NOT a Sync Type when Syncing Files and Folders using SyncToy, FreeFileSync and other File Syncing Tools?

EXPLANATION

Dedupe is a Storage Technology which operates on a block level to save storage space using pointers to data blocks. It is not a file level operation.
Contribute / Update -> Updates Files from the Left Folder Path to the Right without deleting any files or folders. Renamed, Modified and New Files and Folders are added from Left to Right.
Sync (Two-Way Sync) - New items, Renames, Modifications and Deletions are synced from Left to Right and Right to Left Paths (both directions).
Mirror - Copies and Overwrites all file and folder items from the Left Path to The Right Path - creates a mirror copy from Left to Right File Paths. Useful for Backups to removable storage such as USB External Hard Drives.

For files in Unix and Linux, "atime" means most recent access time. What does "ctime" mean?

For files in Unix and Linux, "atime" means most recent access time. What does "ctime" mean?

  • the time that file was most recently copied
  • the file's data change time
  • the file's status change time
  • the file's creation time 
For files in Unix and Linux, "atime" means most recent access time. What does "ctime" mean?

EXPLANATION

atime is access time, or when the file was last read.
mtime is modification time, or when the file's data was last modified.
ctime is change time, or when the files status (metadata) was last changed.  Metadata, data about the file as opposed to data in the file, is held in the file's inode.
Unix jargon for "the time a file's status last changed". Change time and creation time (ctime)Unix and Windows file systems interpret 'ctime' differently:Unix systems maintain the historical interpretation of ctime as being the time when certain file metadata, not its contents, were last changed, such as the file's permissions or owner (e.g. 'This file's metadata was changed on 05/05/02 12:15pm').    Windows systems use ctime to mean 'creation time'[citation needed] (also called 'birth time') (e.g. 'This file was created on 05/05/02 12:15pm').
