does conul running in a swarm container require registrator for health checking, or just agent running on each node?

>Compressed zip is the same size as the file
What did I do wrong?

Should I update my intel hd graphics drivers? I have heard that it is best to stay with the version your computer came with if it is giving no problems. But will an update give better performance?

You are either just using storing the file as a zip without compression or your file can't be compressed (audio/video generally can't).

There's no reason to not upgrade, really. This "use the version that came with your computer" thing is from the time integrated graphics were located on the mobo itself, so some brands could do some tweaks and the official driver wouldn't be compatible. Now integrated graphics are on the CPU itself and they all use the same standardized driver.

Maybe, maybe not. But it's either fixing bugs or adding features, so there's absolutely no reason to upgrade.

user 3 years is not recent, and it goes back even more.

I'm lazy so I just use Team Viewer, it has an option to download files.

What's the best way of getting W7 and W8 to natively fully access a partitioned USB? Because I usually can only get it to recognize the "first" partition.
I feel like a fucking idiot having to use DiskGenius to move files this way.

most likely the files you attempted to compress are already compressed, like jpeg pictures or mp3 audio
compressing a particular dataset isn't guaranteed, there's a finite limit to how compressed something can be (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory)
even if you don't get it, it's pretty easy to accept that it doesn't make sense to be able to compress the same thing to half it's size over and over, something has to give
things like jpeg and mp3 are already heavily compressed compared to the original data they represent, and so passing them through something like 7zip won't yield any useful additional compression
