What's the Holla Forums subpage that tells you all the Google/Firefox privacy addons and shit?

Where are all the linux VR games and apps?

Why do no WMs run in 3D yet?

Holla Forums help me out. If you are on your jobs wifi, is it possible for them to see who is on it and what they are doing? My bosses are kikes I need to know that I'm safe

How do we fix computing?

Yes. They might look at DNS queries and unencrypted HTTP traffic for example. Use Tor/VPN/I2P/etc to hide.

They can also track MAC addresses.

Where to find a Holla Forumsie gf?

How to build gearhead2?

Why are all browsers shit?

install a RAT on her computer and if she can get rid of it she's a keeper, if not free noods for life. nothing to lose everything to gain :^)
The Jews of course.

My turn: I am trying to install afterstep WM on Mint with MATE, Is this even possible?
I tried sudo apt-get

install afterstep and got an ubuntu configuration, and for some reason can't compile from source because of a .h file I know I have isn't getting detected(zlib.h)

Anyone know the easiest way to convert some old SWFs to a format like MP4?

That one you found when you Googled before asking is the easiest way.

stackoverflow.com/questions/20194270/convert-compressed-swf-to-mp4

Wait, whose computer?

About WM, it's likely possible. Might require breaking the current desktop configuration.

find /usr/include -name zlib.h
Then check makefile include paths

whichever theoretical girl you're trying to woo.
only good place to find Holla Forumsie women is by hanging out in infosec circles and hoping they aren't traps, rest of the circles are full of SJWshit now. look at TOR and pycon.

zlib.h isn't mentioned in any of afterstep's makefiles. I think I'm missing some jpeg library or something. I'm a huge newfag to linux, will figure it out.

So what do you recommend for a mobile? I could pick up one of the free vpn apps but im wary of them.

Thanks for the tips. However, it takes a lot of time to integrate into those communities without looking like that guy. Porn takes much less effort, so it's hard to convince my peepee.

Is there anything wrong with SJW? I wonder if you can just stick your dick in them and ignore the mumbo-jumbo.

My point about the headers is, check the folder where zlib.h might be. Then check that folder is included in the compile commands or CFLAGS. If those are right, it should compile.

I got nothing for that, sorry. Tor/I2P might work if you spend the effort to set them up. Dunno about VPNs other than trusted.

someone tried to post a webm to help me before, but I was unable to view it as it wouldn't play. sorry I couldn't use it.

does anyone have any really simple step by step instructions for what to do?

I already know that I need to get the usual compressed file and extract it, but where do I extract it?

basically,


please use alot of detail and be very litteral if possible. thank you for reading.

1. Unpack .tar.gz

3. $ make
4. $ make install

In case of that RPG, just read the fucking

Thank you user for the quick response. I have a few questions to make sure I'm not being stupid.

Okay, good.

I'm fairly sure I'm supposed to type this into the terminal, but could you give me some more context? I'm doubting that if I just randomly type that, that I will simply just get what I want.

/sci/ is dead so tell me if I integrated this via substitution properly

Almost every tarball requires ./configure, make, make install. If ./configure isn't found, chmod +x it. If it doesn't exist, then just make, make install

I'm getting this error stating that it is very likely that GTK+ isn't installed, saying that the libraries are missing.

I ran sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev, but that didn't seem to solve the problem.

Has anyone installed crossfire before, and know how to compile it?

crossfire.real-time.com/


sudo apt-get install icecat


You open the folder in the terminal, then type "./configure" then "make" then "make install", pressing enter between each of those. I'm doing the same thing right now, but I'm playing a different game.

try sudo apt-get build-dep crossfire instead of sudo apt-get install

So I put TWRP on an android device. After pressing power off in its menu it fucking froze. The battery is not removable. After a minute the screen turns off and if I press the power button it lights up and it tells me to to swipe right to unlock. If I do so it freezes on that. Holding the power button does nothing.

Dead? Wait for the 97% battery to why trying to constantly keep the phone the screen at least on?

My receiver is a Yamaha RX-V375. It has the ARC connection on it which is currently plugged in and in the manual it also asks for an optical lead to be connected between the TV optical out and the AV4 optical in. Why does it need this? Is it a redundant cable? I don't see any point in it when HDMI already carries sound.

They will be made in the year of the Linux desktop


I didn't install the game with sudo apt-get install crossfire, I went to their site and downloaded the tarball. So basically I unpacked the tarball, ran ./configure, and those are the results I have. The issue lies in GTK instead of the crossfire game itself. Thanks for trying to help out though.

That's correct.

I don't know where to put all that.

if I just put it all in the terminal, how does the terminal even know that I'm talking about gearhead 2?

and I don't know what this means, should have included it in the other post. I'm sorry.

Holla Forums is it true microsoft is buying ubuntu? please let it be a sick joke

Whats the AIO computer repair software called?

Bestbuy Geeks use it and it removed viruses among other things. Combofix??

Ubuntu is fucked anyway since Dapper. Use Debian any systemd-free and exgf-free distro.

because you'd be in the gearhead folder. Look at how I did it with crossfire. I just did that just to show you, normally I just open up the folder, right click, and click "open in terminal" which is an option that Trisquel offers, which is based off of Ubuntu which is based off of Debian.

Hol' up. If you have a receiver plugged into your TV should you also have all your devices, blu-ray etc., plugged into the receiver and NOT the TV?

Simple question.

I have a program that does thing in a retarded way and stutters every time you do a specific action because it blocks until it wrote something to disk (and no I can't modify it because closed source and I wouldn't know what to do even if it wasn't so).
My idea is to put said file into a ramdisk but I can't change the path of that file or the program won't work.
So after thinking for a bit I remembered about symbolic links but here's the thing I have no fucking idea of how to use that.

So how do I use mklink properly to do what I want to achieve and am I even on the right track to fix my problem to begin with?

the rage of a billion suns

what is dapper!?

thanks for your advice. the image you posted just confuses me alot further, but that open in terminal is a neat trick. I'm going to give this a try... will post a comment if I get stuck.


yea... I know. don't you find it strange that some webm just don't like to play?


hmm

thanks though.

In theory it doesn't matter. If you find it easier to operate the receiver, then connect it that way. Picture will get to your screen either way. However, if the receiver does something to the picture, then skip it and connect directly. This could be adjustments or scaling. If audio from receiver is analog, don't connect through it either.

ln -s /tmp/penis /destination/penis
(Assuming single user, and /tmp mounted as tmpfs. If it's not, try /dev/shm.)

Sure, trying it doesn't hurt. If the file is large, it might still slow down a bit and eat a permanent chunk of your memory during runtime.

If the file is some kind of useless cache, try symlinking your file to /dev/null. If you want to prevent the creation of that file entirely, make a folder with the exact same name.

Ubuntu 6.06.02 LTS (Dapper Drake)

I'm just getting angry and confused because there's an optical connection on the ARC connection on this receiver and I can't figure out why.

Actually, really good question. which do I install?


I'm guessing I need the source code tar.gz?

but what about the ascii or the sdl? do those mean that the game will look different? I remember playing the game and the whole screen is text symbols, like the matrix, but I remember some games that have sdl in the name actually look like visual graphics.

I'm way confused. if there is a more visually rewarding (less headache inducing) version of the game (if sdl is what I think it is) I would prefer it. I'm afraid I'm going to make a mistake though.

is i386 a different system architecture? would that screw up anything that isn't i386?

what is the significance of dapper drake? why is that bad?

Because of nostalgia, and now I'm bitter and standing against current Ubuntus.

forgot to say it's on windows
But no problem I found a way to do it anyways using LSE, just didn't realize at first that it wouldn't have worked on a FAT32 ramdisk at first but that's just me being an idiot
But damn it fixed my initial problem entirely.

There lies the problem it's a savefile, meaning leaving it permanently on a ramdisk is less than ideal, but I think the smart mirror option of LSE will take care of that

but what is the bad thing that's happening?

What distros does this leave?

why are you abandoning ubuntu when they didn't even specifically mention what's wrong with it? I'm still waiting for their answer other than "its dappa dappa dooo!!!"

I'm not that guy. Im the guy who uses debian from yesterday. I went to bed before anyone replied and the thread rolled over.

if you're gonna tell me that you can't watch this then you are a confirmed epic leddit troll

and just to be sure (in case you fell for some alternative-browser-meme that doesn't support mp4) i converted the mp4 to webm aswell

note that the ascii download makes the game run in the console, and the game will consist of characters
the SDL version contains actual graphics in a window

fixubuntu.com

Good goy user might find Ubuntu completely usable. However, it's run by a company. Debian for example is a non-profit project and the system is essentially the same. Hating $INIT or $DE is a personal opinion.

For other distros, try $RANDOM distros from distrowatch, and a BSD too. It all depends on what you want, and actually trying a few different flavors may refine that taste. Or post your requirements here and get shilled and pick the first one, no biggie.

thanks for your help, for some reason the video/ both videos play fine now.

the sdl mentions i386

could that cause problems running on a 32 bit or 64 bit computer? or is that just something totally different?

after watching the video I'm confused. did you type

Why is cmus being autistic?

Holla Forums what's another good distro I can run away to?

oh... okay. like french people? le le le ? like a vampire without the B? bleh bleh bleh?

reminds me of the scene from hotel transylvania 2

Could be. Maybe cmus is trying to force characters into single cells and the terminal vomits multiple characters instead. Poor unicode support?

Actually, that irssi test didn't show much yet. Try with a vertically split screen. If the characters stay in the first window, then it works.

is i386 a different system architecture? would that screw up anything that isn't i386?

the sdl mentions i386

could that cause problems running on a 32 bit or 64 bit computer? or is that just something totally different?

I would really rather grab the SLD version if I get some nice graphics but I don't know if that i386 is reffering to some other thing that wont be compatible.

Do your own research and try a few. Or pick a random and never check another. If your only criterion is "good", popular ones are popular for a reason so try those.

I dont know what do to

distrowatch.com/

I'm really desperate for an answer on this one, I've been waiting to play this game for a few solar cycles now. took me a while to figure out how I might attempt to configure/make/install/compile it.

I read somewhere that i386 = 32 bit, but will that just run fine on 64bit?

Holla Forums becomes ghostown

yawn :o

Since this is Holla Forums support thread, let's turn this into a question.

How do we fix Holla Forums?

Quick question about Libreboot, I know they don't officially support the Thinkpad W520, but has any user here gotten Libreboot to work on a W520?

I may have stuxnet on my computer. Wat do?

pull the power cord immediately

unscrew hdds and chop the disks with cleaver

put solid state memory and sim cards and optical media into microwave

pull the capacitors and put circuit boards into the oven

fry the processor on stove or if it's a p4, fry _with_ the processor

put phones in deep fryer

explode batteries and caps with 230v ac

destroy everything except your headphones. then take those to your friend, and listen to shitty pop songs from youtube without dac or amp. close your eyes. you did it, you beat stuxnet. take a bite from your deep fried phone.

Bumping this post

How do I customize the edwin editor.
For some reason I don't have left margin in my xterm window.
Also, when I start a new vertical frame, typing past the end of the window doesn't cause it scroll.

The second problem seems to be specific to emacs.
The first problem I think is specific to using the MIT/GNU scheme app on mac
Also should I get xcode and use mit-scheme from homebrew with x11 support?

I'm just curious, I have a motherboard with two PCI-e slots, and when I got my computer, I got a garbage GPU to run it while I waited for my good GPU to come in the mail.
The one I'm using currently is a Radeon 390x, and the garbage gpu I got is an R5 220, because it was cheap and worked for posting on chans.
Now I have both because I never bothered returning the garbage GPU.
My question is, what would happen if both were plugged into my computer? Would it fuck anything up, or is there any sort of benefit to having both in there?

If they were the same model you would be able to run them in crossfire. Otherwise it is useless. It will do nothing but waste electricity. It would be a better idea to build a home theater PC with it or give it to some young family member so they can learn how to build a PC.

My School has a file server (one of many) that is accessible by all students using their student accounts (active directory accounts I think?). I'm planning to copy a large amount of footage (170GB or so) from the drive-- is it possible/likely that they would have some sort of logging in place and that they would notice me copying the files?

Please help.

They probably will notice. But if it is not prawn they won't care.

Actually. Best to do it little at a time because it will probably make their crappy network architecture die. I know from working at a school district that even a few gigs will make it buckle.

very nervous

why...?

Hey Holla Forums, using Linux Mint 18 here, how do I get the program that displays images on here to go into slideshow mode without going fullscreen? Everytime I do it, it goes fullscreen, and when I exit fullscreen it stops the slideshow. I want it to rotate through various images in a given folder.

mint is evil.

How so? Police have warrants to monitor all my Internet traffic and visit me 3 times now. I use mint because it's my favourite OS, it's all I've used for years, and it works very well for everything I want to do.

well if police are bothering you and spying on you, then I really can't say anything.

oh and cops, if listening, when are you going to arrest hillary clinton for all that illegal stuff she did? I'm so sad that our country has become such a joke. If we had real freedom and real justice, the laws wouldn't just apply to the peasants like us. queen master hillary shouldn't be immune to the law.

I know. So, any ideas on how to make that thing display in slideshow mode?

If I cared about privacy I'd have to switch ISPs since my ISP is cooperating with police and go use Tails OS, follow OpSec 100%, etc.

I do follow OpSec to a certain degree and have done a lot of things to make them at least work hard to spy on me but it's not worth giving up usability, games, etc. when my ISP gives everything to the police anyways.

Any idea btw how I can unfuck my audio? alsa-project.org/db/?f=8ad76b2aadc3c8a6d351f9e58a6220f2b4cfbd0d

Basically, >>>/4chon/188438

do you have synaptic? does mint get synaptic?

you could search "image viewer" or other search terms similar to that and try out different programs available to mint that might have a slideshow feature built in.

you could try a few and you might discover a good one.

as for audio, I don't know. I always get other problems when using linux, not audio though.

Any good image viewers for Android? None of the ones I've seen support animated files for some reason. (Mostly interested in gif, but apng would be a nice bonus.)
Also, any booru viewer recommendations? QBooru is okay on my desktop (other than not being able to view animated images), but the Android version feels like it crashes after every other search.

Yeah there's also Software Manager.

I really don't want to have to go through all of these. Someone here must know a linux imageviewer that does slideshows no problem.

You'll saturate the network for a decently long period of time - they'll definitely notice, but depending on when you do it, it might, or might not, matter.

did exactly this:


no such file or directory

You don't bump stickies, moron.


I didn't know how the hell you got this problem until I tried to replicate it on my own. You literally typed out "$ ./configure" which is pretty funny.

You don't type in the dollar sign, autist, it is already there. was just pointing out that you would type the commands in the terminal, hence the dollar sign since you did not know whether if this was written in the terminal or not.

If you read you would have known that you don't type in the dollar sign.

I downloaded the dumb game myself. It turns out that this isn't a tarball file, you should have told us so earlier. I found the git of the game, and there are instructions at the bottom of the page.

github.com/jwvhewitt/gearhead-2

funny thing is that I didn't type a dollar sign.

someone told me to get
so I tried that and there is just an Icon sitting inside that makes the game start.

How do I use wget to download images from 4chan? Its working perfectly fine on Holla Forums. I've been reading the manual and looking for tutorials for days but i still haven't figured it out.

By mistake, I thought you did at first since I replicated the problem using a different game I tried to compile that actually did come with a configure file. When I downloaded your game, I realized that "./configure; make; make install" wasn't going to work, so I just followed the instructions from the github page. I did all of the steps required, but for some reason I'm getting an error stating:
Fatal: Can't open file "gearhead"
Fatal: Compilation aborted

But I don't actually care enough to try to solve this issue at the moment since I have another game I'm trying to get compiled.

By the way, did you fulfill the prerequisites before starting to install it?


What icon? I believe you downloaded the source code, not the binary.

By the way, you could have typed all of that into a single comment rather than breaking it up into several different comments. Are you new to imageboards?

Why the fuck did you feel the need to split this up into three posts?

I fucking hate autohotkey.

This is how you get the result of a regex pattern match:


cliptext = %clipboard%pattern := "source=""(\w+)\.\w+"RegExMatch(cliptext, pattern, match)MsgBox, 262144, % "result", % match1

Despite ` being an escape character, you have to escape " by using two of them "", but only when you're writing string literals.

RegExMatch only returns the position of the string that it found.

I have no clue how the last line works but it does, but you can't set the result of that to a value, this will not work:
output := % "result", % match1

MsgBox, 262144 just sets a flag but without this the text will only go in the titlebar, and not the message.

How come whenever I refresh 8ch my stream stutters.

I thought it was catalog loading full jpgs again but it's fine when I open images in storytime threads.

I've switched from Firefox to IceCat and I'm getting pic related when trying to post now. Can't figure out which setting causes it. Help please.

Are you on firefox?

For some reason, 8ch is very cpu intensive on parsing the entire catalog and large threads. This should be rewritten but probably won't.

Yes

Checked task manager and cpu usage jumps from 8% to peak of 61% when I refresh.

Thanks for solving that little mystery.

If firefox goes the way of seperating tabs into new threads or processes it would solve the issue of one page affecting the rest of your browser.

This can't be good.
Usually it dies down to 80 degrees after it's fully booted, but it's been like 5 mins now.

What is Holla Forums's approved smart phone service provider (chip)? Or mobile communication set up (maybe internet/ 3G on a mobile device can be suitable to set up VOIP service, more secure?)

jesus man you're frying your cpu
it shouldn't even be at 80 degrees while idling/at all
that's probably the reason why it's gotten worse too
that's what you get for using stock fans

Is there any way to use a c++ template or something very similar in standard c?

Google sucks for asking this type of question because it ignores the ++.

I installed i3 as a alternate desktop on my laptop (for cool factor and to try to extended battery life.) I want to easily connect to Wi-Fi and vpns w/ KDE's front end for network manager since I already have it installed. Am not sure how since I never handled a config file before.

you could however create a struct with all possible data types and a type field that determines what type the struct is delivering

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro today and I was wondering if anyone here on Holla Forums knew of any good websites I could use to store music, photos, and word documents online from my old MacBook Pro that I've had since 2011. I want to save them directly to my new laptop. Would something like dropbox work well? Are there any similar alternatives? You've all been very helpful to me in the past. Thank you.

hey Holla Forums

I got a version of gearhead2 functioning, but I have a question.

sourceforge.net/projects/gearhead2/files/gearhead2/0.628/


I played this game alot before and came back to it now because of good memories, but I wanted to try to have a different experience with the game now.

I noticed that you can't really do nearly 99% of everything in one playthrough (after many tries and fun games) because you can't get all the stats, all the skills, all the talents, all the abilities, and all the knowledge in one character, nor can you upgrade all the stats to 100%.

I want to figure out how to edit my save file so that I can make a very deeply ability and feature rich character so that I can sing and perform, fight in mechas, and also be a kungfu master. I basically want to create a character and be able to do anything I want. I know some people will think this is silly, but I just feel like giving myself a treat after playing gearhead2 alot. I feel like I need this.

if anyone knows what to do I would figuratively give you a bro fist over the internet.

it's binary data. non-human-readable. machine code displayed as ascii characters.
edit the savefile with a hex editor - an editor which displays the binary data as hexadecimals.
suppose you had 3 charisma. you save your game, open your savefile using a hex editor and search for occurances of the number 3. if you're lucky, some hint will be displayed like "chr:3", if not, you're going to have to increase your charisma in-game to narrow down the right spot in the savefile that manages your charisma.

if you're really unlucky, the game keeps check on when the savefile was last edited, or it checks the validity using checksums. but that's rare with non-profit games.

oh wow, thanks. I'm going to try to search for that now. will post back with results. thanks!

(hopefully I'm sucessful)

altough keep in mind the save file isn't all just binary. there's all sorts of numbers and names and words mixed in...

Okay, so at the very least the "spendable" XP and the the amount of cash you have are shown as is in the save file without any editing.

I suspect that it is just showing as it's true value even though it's hex for some reason because if I put my cash as Nine 9's it's fine, but TEN 9's cause a negative number to come up.

ONE 1 and NINE 9's however doesn't cause this problem I think.

this is tricky but I'm freaking out. found some good hex editors.

you're dealing with the hexadecimal number system. 9 in decimal is 9 in hexadecimal. 10 in decimal is A in hexadecimal. FF becomes 256.

binaryhexconverter.com/decimal-to-hex-converter

Prompt102_1
Prompt103
Prompt104
Prompt105
msg202

So now I'm looking at a giant wall of strings and numbers and letters...

good luck

I'm looking at a bunch of numbers but can't control f to search for words. I'm totally lost.

Hmm alright, thanks.

I would feel as if this has been a step in the correct direction if it actually helped me better understand the contents of my save file yet I feel that it has possibly made it even more difficult to understand. I thought it would make it more clear so that I could actually see what I was editing but I'm more lost and confused than ever.

I'm really poor with computers and my problem solving skills are a joke.

fucking christ why are people still helping him?

oh yea I'm such an evil piece of shit for asking for help!

are you so full of yourself that you really believe that just because you think that way that other people are actually saying "you know what, fuck helping everyone else, I'm just going to help that one user!"

are you kidding me? like everyone is just going to drop all their shit for me?

I'm begging for help. some people come along and give me some advice. I appreciate those people. I'm not the center of attention. my question changes as my needs change.

I'm just trying my best.

There's just over 5 days left until Windows 10 is no longer free for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users. I have Windows 7 right now, and while I heard of W10 being better performance and the recommended OS at the same time I also see it doing a lot of really strange shit.

Is there a way to make W10 better than Windows 7 while still respecting consumer privacy? I would use W10 had it not been how much information and datamining regular W10 does.

tech doesnt know shit about securing phones?

Just tried running VLC to do that. It didn't work at all.

I'm the trashmanon, I found this thing in a garbage bin.

has gnupg ever been broken, /g/ros?

is the OS original or pirated?

Pirated, but I fucked up and it still wants to activate Windows online.
I've got 15 days left to figure something out (either install another copy of win7 ult which I know is pre-cracekd or somehow trick the current copy to be validated without online connection)

Why does it matter?

From what I've heard, you can disable some spying, but not all of it.

Sorry to bump my own question, but is there nobody here who has an idea how to fix this? Firefox works fine, just IceCat is blocking me. I tried deactivating all addons but it still does this.

This is why you have no replies.

"No" is the quick answer to your question, "depends" being the slightly longer answer since you haven't defined what exactly you mean. Symmetric or asymmetric? gnupg can do either. Which algorithm? gnupg has many. How big is the keyspace?

Stick with "no", it answers your question.

Do you really need networkmanager to do this? If you're using openvpn, you can start it as a service.

Tech noob here.

I have two 640GB HDDs, and im using Windows 7 64x. One of the Hard drives is only for storage of files and stuff

I want to to try a Linux distro (Trisquel in mind) in the storage HDD.

Should I try to install a distro in the storage one? And in case of doing that…can I use the othe HDD files when using the OS of the other HDD?

What was that motherboard that enabled you to attach mobo modules to it? There's a picture of guy with a 4-5 ft of mobo

Would you guys still recommend truecrypt?

So what can and you cannot disable on Windows 10? Windows 7 is an aging OS and Windows 10 does have more things like improved performance, DX12 and Xbone shit, but at the same time I don't want to be spied on all the damn time.

So, i installed Linux Mint 17 and i am extremely happy that it works and supports all needed software, including the ones i launch through wine.

Now here's a question, am i an idiot for installing it? I heard bad things about ubuntu, but at the same time linux mint is just as easy as ubuntu. Does this mean that linux mint is just as bad as ubuntu and i should worry about not using arch linux instead?

A while ago I think I got it on 4chan was a link to a site that allowed you to search through cloud storage drives that the owners failed to put passwords on so you could download, look, and delete what was on the drive. Anybody knows what I'm talking about?

Anyone?

I'm using Debian with the last GNOME. Maybe I'm the only one here using this graphic environment, but does anyone know if part of it it's a software automatically checking for updates? The Software Updater doesn't have any option, so no "disable/enable automatic checks", and I don't see it running normally in the task manager, but I still get notifications about new updates from time to time immediately after I connected to the internet, and I would like to avoid this. And I guess disabling the notifications won't really help.

Not an argument.

I left SJWfox for Furfagmoon.

I want to leave this over rated piece of shit, what browser does Holla Forums recommend?

Should i ever worry about being tracked or getting viruses while on linux?

I'm using XFWM and Thunar with a default xfce4 install, and Pale Moon. Whenever I want to upload files, I can not switch to thumbnail view but there's just a preview window.

Windows 10 tried to install itself on my computer without me knowing, which means I have two options:

so my ram's frequency is 3000 mhz. I'm looking at a motherboard right now that says it supports 2933 mhz, and 3200 mhz.

What will happen if I use my ram with this motherboard? Will it downclock to 2933 mhz?

it should work as long as you don't try to open the file itself with VLC. Personally I just use Glenview and manually hit the arrow keys to go to the next picture when I want to look at my lewd anime drawings.


I connect to my VPN by running config files they gave me. I would prefer to use network manager since it's already installed, has my config files and gives me a list of available Wi-Fi networks.

Next you post here, go get a snack and watch some cat videos on YouTube. Maybe come back the next day. There's no need to cry for help like a Tumblr Whale.

That's the oldest unfixed bug in the world and won't be fixed. PaleMoon should still use the GTK2 interface for the file selector. You could use that patch, but if you're not on Arch, you have to create the package for your distro or compile and install it manually.

You won't get stupid javascript drive-by attacks like on wangblows. But don't run funny shell scripts or binaries from unknown sources and don't copy paste commands for the terminal without checking what the command actually does.

I need a really lightweight linux distro for an old Compaq Presario C300 I'm giving my mom so she can browse facebook, view videos and images. should I go with Mint? This thing has an Intel Celeron 430m and 1.5gb of ram.

1.5 gb of ram is well enough to run mint. installation is fast and easy. go with the MATE version if you chose mint.
mint isn't really lightweight though.

if you want lightweight and still easy to install go with lubuntu

Is there any work around for getting AMD FreeSync to work on 7900 cards? I bought a free sync monitor because AMD said that all HD 7000 cards will support free sync but aparently they didn't mean full support for free sync and it only supports it for videos on the HD7000 cards.

What a fucking dick move. Can I stick a cheap low end card that supports it into my computer and then still use my normal graphics cards for the actual graphics processing?

Fuck Windows. I've been trying to move its OS partition for 2 days now and it still doesn't work.

Here’s what I did:

The boot config works and it loads the partition… followed by a BSOD! Now considering UEFI uses GPT, I’m thinking I might need to change some GUIDs related to which disk to boot from (i.e. change it to the GUID of the USB drive).
Anyone have any idea about this and/or experience with UEFI and Windows BCD?

Some further info:

TL;DR: how to *only* move the Windows OS partition to a USB drive and boot it using the existing boot manager that’s still located on disk?

I use YouTube downloaders generally to download audio and video to my HDD. I find it interesting that YT blocks downloads with certain content. Does anyone have insight about this? Apparently, they can detect the usage of downloaders and have the ability to block streaming to downloaders, but they only prevent it selectively.

When blocking occurs, then I can't download with any downloader I have tried. (I mainly use Opera YouTube Center for video and 4K YouTube to MP3 for audio; but have attempted to use other downloaders in this circumstance). If one downloader's blocked, then all of them are. There is however nothing different about the video that would be apparent in regular viewing mode.

This seems to occur most often (though not consistently) with copyrighted content. Oddly, it is content that does have a copyright, but the uploader's not the copyright owner. Like when [random-YT-user] uploads a 1930s film that no one cares enough about to exercise a DMCA complaint against, then YT may block downloading. Maybe YT knows it's copyrighted and probably shouldn't be there, and they're trying to limit liability in case a claim is made? But how would anybody know it was downloaded? Why are they going to the trouble? Does somebody working at YouTube sit there and go through videos, flagging the ones that shouldn't be downloaded? It's all very thought-provoking.

Have you tried youtube-dl?

How do I crack a steam game? I'm using OSX, but it should be similar to linux cracking. I can open the file with sublime text and it seems I get some code 00CA (things like that).

I'm trying to pirate the EU4 DLC's, but OSX doesn't use steamapi.dll files, it uses libsteam_api.dylib. I have the base game bought though.

If you guys can help me crack this game then I can share it on /gsg/ afterwards, and possibly make cracks for OSX. The thing is, I have no idea how to do it. (Or where to learn it)

For anyone who might have a similar problem, I replicated my actions in a Hyper-V VM and got it to work.

Turns out that the Disk2vhd tool might have messed with the cloning process. Here’s what I did instead:
And the clone booted successfully.

Some further info you might want to know:

Cracking games usually involves some in-depth knowledge of low-level programming, operating systems and security/DRM technology. I knew a guy who was into this stuff and he also used some reverse engineering tools that cost several thousand dollars. So I don’t think it’s easy…

Best option would probably be to dual boot Windows or, depending on the game’s performance, use a virtual machine since Windows seems to be the target platform for cracks (and malware).

So how can I reencode any of my x264 vids to x265 with ffmpeg or handbrake. I wanna keep basically the same quality but smaller filesize. Is it possible? Cheers lads

I HAVE FOUR DAYS LEFT TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10 OH GOD WHAT DO

If you use a x264 video as source you will probably get new artefacts, so the same quality isn't possible, but you will get a smaller file. Keep in mind that stoarge is cheap and only the newest gpus are supporting x265 hardware decoding. You can use the binary (or compile it yourself) for x265 directly test the different flags and 2-pass encoding first with a short video.

Or just wait until the royality free implementation (daala, vp10, thor) comes out next year.

What's the best way to automatically download album art for my music files? I'm on Linux but could switch to Windows if it was really necessary. I just want to point the program to my music folder and let it fetch the album without me doing much manually.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good low eye strain dark theme for Windows 8.1?

Wget is possible as I use it, just mess around with the options a bit. (Wish I could provide more help. My scripts are on another computer I don't have access to at the moment.) Personally, I only ever used it for downloading attachments rather than the threads themselves, but I don't see why it can't download threads as well. Here's Holla Forums's media urls you might see in threads:
8ch.net/
media.8ch.net/
media2.8ch.net/
I don't follow development of this site, so I don't know if it changes a lot or if it's random. I just noticed some threads (especially long-lasting ones on really slow boards) have a variety of media urls in the same thread.

What's a good FOSS email client for Android? I'm currently using K-9, but Google keeps denying log-in attempts for my work email because K-9 doesn't use OAuth. I can enable "less secure apps" on my personal email, but my work email will only let the administrator enable that. In case he won't allow it, I'd like an alternative client to fall back on.
Alternatively, should I just forward the emails to my personal email which does work on my phone? I need to be notified when I get an email, so I could just log into the browser if needed.
Lastly, is IMAP really that insecure if Google wants to push a browser standard for email? Or is it just Google just trying to re-invent the wheel?

Yes from surges and other power related destruction. If something with the power takes out your main HDDs you will find a fried back up too when you go to check on the back up you left plugged in.

Specifically in C, would one need a mutex when performing bitwise operation on single bits in a variable shared between threads?

Yeah, but linux is just not an option in this situation (it's not mine), so if someone knows how to actually get through this shit, I'd appreciate it.

how bout you install a new build of windows now

As it has now expired, unless you have a valid 7,8 or 10 key now, you cannot activate a clean install. You will need to buy a new licence.
No point in blaming MS for failure on your part to keep up to date - that is a mandatory requirement for using Insider versions. The Insider Program is not a way to get a perpetual free licence.

i got a small 1:30 video, its about 23mb with a resolution of 1920x1080, im trying to convert it to a webm that is under 5mb so i can post it but i can't seem to find the right combination of settings to do it without absolutely fucking up the quality.

im using a program called Handbrake, can you tell me which program should i use or what settings to change? i tried playing around with the crf but it doesn't seem to do much, if i put it too low the video is too big, and if i put it too high the quality goes pixel-art tier.

pic unrelated

Shortcut to bomb my hard drive? I don't want it ruined, but just everything on it deleted. If possible I'd like it so I don't enter my password for a sudo.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, on ThinkPad T420.

rm -rf /*
This will delete everything that doesn't require sudo. If you want to securely erase your files, use wipe -qr * (might need to use sudo to install it)
Otherwise just use dd to wipe the disk like everyone else.

I personally use ffmpeg (or Xmedia Recode if I need a GUI) so I have no experience with Handbrake. If you really need the video to be 1080p, you're gonna have to be a wizard to compress the size that small. You can try lowering the resolution or maybe compressing the audio quality if your main concern is video quality. (Removing audio can also help if its unnecessary.)
Don't know what else to tell you except to keep trying. (Also, isn't the file limit 8MB, not 5?)

is firefox still the best web browser Holla Forums?
if not what should i use for both winblows and linux?

yes, size limit is 8, i just thought i could reduce it further.

no, i don't need it to be 1080p specifically, i just didn't want it to be for ants, every webm thread i see these long ass webms in huge resolutions and they're always so small in size, but mine always look like shit and are xboxhueg un-postable

and no, audio removal is not an option in my case.

always reach the maximum file size when possible, it's just a few megabytes. for WEBMs you want to use vp9 instead of vp8 since vp9 is the newer codec that can provide better video quality at a smaller file size and libopus since it should also provide better audio than vorbis at a smaller file size.
Tell us what you're doing exactly to encode the video and what settings you're using so we can see how to improve your video quality, also knowing what exactly is in the video is nice. (for instance, anime should look better at a smaller bitrate compared to a nascar race because anime videos are much simpler and feature less motion).
WEBM semi-related, i made it with an old version of ffmpeg that i hadn't updated in a long time but with the right settings it still looks okay, using a more recent version of ffmpeg with an updated libvpx should still output better video however

i'll keep trying, but i think handbrake is just not the right program for this, i think i need another one, any recommendations?

best browser depends on what you care about

for floss, gnu icecat or iridium

i've heard midori is good too, don't know how freetard it is though

xmedia recode is the best GUI option for windows, but ffmpeg should be your choice. This guide is pretty good for spoonfeeding but if you can use your discretion on some things that you shouldn't do every time (like resizing the video depending on the lenght) you can still get better quality. Also remember that when you encode a lossless video the result will always be better since when you encode an already lossy video you're only stacking image quality loss without any file size benefit

can someone point in the direction of a solid intro to programming? I don't know a single language, but I'm interested in low level stuff like assembly, maybe the C family. LISP and related "functional" programming languages

thanks a fucking shit fuck ton in advance, you faggot ass nigger

Would help to know what's going wrong if you pasted your scp string and any error message you're getting.

Is Iridium open source yet?

can someone recommend html templates for gmail?

hasn't it always been? it's a chromium fork after all

Is thunderbird a botnet?

f u g g

If you're brand new to programming, I'd suggest starting with an "easy" language and avoid assembly until you better understand programming. Scripting languages are good for a first language because you can just make shit and run them without having to worry about compiling.
Other than that I have no strong recommendations. I hear python recommended a lot, but I've never used it. I started by using AutohotKey years ago to do some basic automation on Windows and just moved on from there once I got a better feel for programming.


I use Thunderbird. Why would you suspect it to be a botnet?


Is there a question in this?

no im just blogposting like a retard

Let's say I hypothetically want to create a VPN between myself and a neighbor for file-sharing, LAN gaming, and shits and giggles. Connecting the 2 routers directly with an ethernet cable seems to be ideal since it would provide gigabit ethernet and lower ping than connecting via WAN. Google isn't any help because every result either assumes the 2nd router is an access point (or part of the same internal network in some way) or will be connected via WAN.
This is an illustration if what I'd like to do. Is this possible? (I'm running Tomato on my router, but if I actually wanted to try this, would that be enough for direct router to router VPN? Or would pfSense be better? Would the 2nd router also need to be running something other than shitty stock router firmware?)

I used to have this problem

test it with a fresh install of chrome if you find a webm that doesn't play

it may be that your browser just needs an update or a fresh install so that it can play VP9

user
you never go full retard

also here user

smartpctricks.com/2013/05/how-to-setup-configure-free-vpn-virtual-private-network-with-team-viewer-vpn-client-software.html

usually from what little experience I have with old games you need a hex editor to modify a specific part of the executable

I suspect it's a botnet because it's made by Mozilla, the same company that's been co-opted by SJWs and the same company that made their browser into a botnet.

Bumping this question.


Seconding this question while I'm at it.

What is a good free (as in beer, but ideally also as in speech) video editor and sequencer? That works on Windows 7 current main OS, just botnet my shit up, fam and hopefully *BSD/Linux looking to transition to that by the end of the year.

Not looking for anything fancy, though fanciness is appreciated because who knows what I'll be doing in a year or two. Tbh I just want to edit snappy .webms to post on the chans. For now. Don't need any GPGPU acceleration or anything, just want a video editor that works and maybe can handle some advanced stuff if possible.

Right now the only thing I know of is Blender. Interface is intimidating af so I'm guessing it's a solid choice, but interested to hear from any other A/V fags about what's up.

Thanks for reading; have a MAGA Kay for your courtesy.

Why would I use TeamViewer software? If I wanted to use a VPN over WAN, I'd just use OpenVPN.
Also, how did I go full retard? I explained what I was interested in doing and provided a half-assed picture to give a better visualization. I won't actually be doing this. I was just curious if it could be done, and if so, how?

btrfs wizards:

does it make sense to use RAID 1 on 2 subvolumes or partitions residing on the same drive?

There are many video editors for Linux and I guess some of them are multi-platform, but if you have advanced uses in mind you will probably find them all lacking.
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications#Video_editors

Blender is the only professional-level option but it's a fucking monster of a program. If you can invest the time to learn it definitely go for it.

Friend of mine is going through a divorce, noticed a charge on the wife's card.
"Autoforward Spy"
Basically, it's phone spyware. I've been trying to dig up actual information on it other than advertisements and reviews.
If she installed it on his phone, she's committed a felony, and he can keep his damn house.
Just need to figure out where it hides in the filesystem, anyone know anything about this?

And yes, eventually he will take this to court and try to subpoena the company into releasing her account records, but first- proving the software is on his phone is good legal work.

you know you can visit normal websites through Tor. Hidden services only represent a privacy advantage to websites, they don't make a difference for Tor clients.

that's not what a VPN is; but yes: it's possible to do what you want assuming you can configure both routers' routing tables to send packets through the blue link when LAN1 wants to talk to 192.168.1.0/24 and when LAN2 wants to talk to 192.168.0.0/24.

Have you considered not messing with Layer 3 at all and just plug your neighbor's computer to your LAN or vice versa?

not a btrfs wizard but that just doesn't make any sense, your hard drive performance will shit itself and you don't gain the security of raid because when it dies one partition isn't magically going to survive

You're right, could have sworn it wasn't, maybe I'm confusing it with another privacy/security browser fork.

xmedia-recode does a pretty good job if you want a gui, alternatively ffmpeg.

Are there any ways websites can take screenshots of your monitors with javascript, without you knowing?

That's not supposed to be possible, so it would involve a browser exploit. Whether or not that is possible just depends. If you have flash installed the risk would be MUCH higher

So I just discovered that Puush is operated by the same people behind osu. I've been using it for years, so whatever damage there is to be done by it has probably already been done, but are there any alternatives?

Windows 10 no longer becomes free to upgrade to in 2.5 days, is there a safe way to upgrade to Windows 10 without all the spying and shit? I'd upgrade to Windows 10, but I don't want to be spied on.

Somone purchased me some shitty Samsung tablet. the Galaxy Tab A.

i want to flash the entire device and replace it with ubuntu desktop or ubuntu phone. I dont really care which linux distro actually, but from what i've researched ubuntu seems to be the only one that works on this tablet.

I have tried every guide out there. Heimdall, odin, goo, rom manager.

i for the life of me cant get any alternate recovery to install. TWRP, clockwork, and some one that i dont even remember but have saved as "recovery.img"

i honestly dont even care if i brick the device at this point. NOTHING WORKS.

can anyone refer me to a method or guide that works for this piece of shit?

get a VPN service, or a decent firewall and watch the settings very closely. peerblocker has a good IP ban range.

dont get windows 10, its a piece of shit. 7 is better at this point.

I thought Windows 10 was supposed to be faster and have better performance compared to Windows 7? I know you can turn off some of the spying on Windows 10 but I'm not sure how much.

is Holla Forums fucked or is it just me?

There's no report button, no reply markers on post, no auto refresh, no portable posting window.
(as if js is disabled, but it's not)

Tell me I'm not alone.

Who told you all that?

i have 4 PCs and 2 tablets infront of me. XP, 7, 7, 8, 10, and some shitty android version.

The XP machine and the 7 machine have only 4gb of ram. which is the max for xp but not for 7 since my 7 is 64bit but the rest of the hardware is actually new (i5). the XP machine is much faster.. but i also have less databases installed on it.

my 2nd 7 machine is a newer machine with 32gb of ram and an i7.

my 10 machine is the newest. i has a slightly faster i7 but also has the same ram amount, but the speed is only negligibly faster.

they perform about the same when running most applications. both underwhelming considering the cost of the hardware.

arcgis runs faster on my 7 machine despite the 10 machine being newer.

test

working fine for me. do you have scripts blocked?

I updated firefox, rechecked about:config as in installgentoo wiki and modified values, put on some addons and since then it's shit.

The URL modifies itself to "sys.8ch.net/"...
and I can't refresh the website there. When I delete it, I get new posts but it's still as if there's no scripts allowed (everything else works fine to my notice, except Holla Forums)

It's alright, I figured it out.

What I set to [false] was dom.storage.enabled

It completely broke Holla Forums.

I don't know where to ask this, but I have a javascript/html question.

What would be an easy way to link an object and a html element, so that when I find the html element, I can access the object related to it?

I don't want to keep the objects in an array, that's a very clumsy solution.

Would I be better off getting rid of an HD6950 in my Linux Desktop and using the integrated video in my i5 3570k?

Having problems with unique_ptr.
How would you implement the following with unique_ptr?

Bar *foo;...foo = new Bar();

You can't listen to youtube without a DAC retard. Every computer has one.

For video editing get Blender.
You can even do compositing.

Are you me?

not a hard drive but an SSD. I'm aware of the negative impact in write speed and the possible gains in read speed, but I don't care about performance. I'm interested in btrfs for its reliability and flexibility.

I know this is no safeguard against the whole drive shitting itself, but what about data corruption. Are all btrfs transactions atomic? I mean, isn't it possible for the data in one side to become corrupt and then be recovered from the mirror once btrfs detects a checksum mismatch?

Btrfs users store cloned subvolumes (snapshots) in the same drive all the time. What I want essentially is a real time snapshot with transparent recovery.
This is the closest thing I have found, but it's far from satisfying my question:
askubuntu.com/questions/406096/how-to-create-an-external-selfhealing-btrfs-usb-hdd-raid-1-array/406296#406296

what's wrong with associative arrays?
let map = { tag1: { /* some object */ }, tag2: { /* another object */ }}map['tag1'] // access some objectmap['tag2'] // access another objectmap['tag3'] = { /* add yet another object */ }

Am I retarded ? Why can't I extend this volume with the Unallocated space ?

because that's not how partition tables work, your harddrive can't do magic. you have to move the partition next to the unallocated space and then extend to the right.

i use partition wizard for this

Both ctrl keys on my keyboard just stopped working. Tried plugging it into different ports and nothing is changing. Restarted the PC a couple of times, nothing good here.

It never happenned to me before, so I used partition wizard and it "disabled" my E: partition during the process so I freaked and stopped it, I'm just being paranoid right ? Is this normal ?

What's the decent linux HTML graphic editor?

Want to make my basic start page a shove links and few tables on it, but can't be bothered to remind myself of HTML.

well moving the partition means that things can't be in use, so its gonna be disabled

What would I need to do/buy to make a little thing that just displays python scripts? What I want to do is just have something where I made a custom keyboard for it and have a small computer that just displays the program on a miniature display. The program's I'd like to have on it don't have anything graphical, it's all just text.

i'd use my arduino and buy a compatible LCD display
obviously you'll need a soldering iron and cables

wouldn't know about casing though

Yeah, but how do I find out the hexcode to edit? I've never seen a "how to crack" tutorial that involves that, only the copy the .exe to the file and be done with it.

How does that solve the problem?

if I do:
document.getElementByClassName("test")[0]
I want to be able to find an object that is associated with whatever html element that finds, assuming I've made any object for that particular element.

Which display would allow me to display a decent amount of text on it? (atleast 6 lines) Would all of them be able to do this?

Also I don't know much about the arduino, but i don't think it's designed for using python with it. How would I get a python program to run on it?

So I think I misclicked something but I'm not sure, my "System Reserved" partition is marked as active, but my C: volume has (Boot) in its Status, should I change anything ?

your operating system

you install linux on it. it's a mini computer.

ImDisk is driving me crazy.
Anytime I need it to mount a .bin file it either
1. mounts it with an unuseable filesystem (N/A)
2. says "Parameter is incorrect"

Googling didn't help, fiddling with options didn't help, editing the .cue file didn't help.

Disregard, I suck cocks.

I'll be getting my mechanic of IT undergrad and I'll have to choose between the branches mechanic of software technology, mechanic of networks and mechanic of electronic computers.
The degree and branch names have all been literally translated, so I'm not sure if this is entirely right but from what I can understand the first one is SE and the third one CE. Which branch would it be wisest to go for and under which circumstances for each? I'm in South Europe.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

how about you use firefox like everyone else

sorry fam but you arent special
just download firefox

My PSU is making crackling noise

Is this safe

I installed ubuntu 16 on T400. It has intel gpu and AMD/ATI 3470. Drivers for AMD don't seem to work.When I select discrete gpu only in BIOS I have no hardware acceleration, when I select integrated only, it works. Is it possible to enable AMD driver?

Seriously, don't bother trying to disable all the spyware shit, there are tons and tons of ways Microsoft can spy you anyway through W10.
Ask yourself if it's really worth it controlling your Xbone by remote and being able to use a rarely supported DirectX version while letting them know about EVERYTHING you're doing with your PC.
Just keep your Win7 and go buy a second-hand DD-WRT supported router, then set it up with a blocklist containing most of the IPs used by MS (and a general adware/spyware list of course, there's an article about Adblocking on the DD-WRT wiki)

Record it on Vocaroo and post it here, I'm curious

I haven't got a mic handy

It's a light popping/crackling noise, like there's a short or some shit.

Is there a way for me to send an email such that I send it through my own email and then it goes through my gmail for work and arrives as if it was only sent from the work one? I just want to avoid gmail but everything work related has to be sent from it. I already have it set up so that emails sent to the gmail are forwarded to mine.

You configure your mail client?
Any mail client worth two shits will allow you to set up multiple smtp servers, and allow you to select the particular address to send from every time you're writing an email or replying.

I have heard rumors about Windows 10 being pure spyware, however I am in serious need of a new laptop. What opperating system is safe(r)? Windows 8.1? Windows 7?

I am not a very tech savvy person, however I don't want microsoft to know all the loli hentai I watch. (I guess pic related is atleast a good place to start.)

Anyone know the optimal setup to avoid all the ways Google can track you but still be able to use accounts?

Could be any number of things.
Could be bad capacitor, or a loose cable.

What I would do is discharge it completely by unplugging it for a few hours, take it out and feel the power supply cables to all the components, checking for heat, after you've discharged yourself. Make sure all the connections are secure. When you turn it back on observe it and listen closer.

If it's arcing your shit will probably be on fire soon. You'll know by the the smell.

Hey Holla Forums, I have an issue related to my graphics driver/GPU itself and I hope you guys can help me out.
Since wednesday, for no apparent reason, my monitor receives no signal from my GPU after passing the Windows loading screen.
This seems to be a GPU related issue since I have noticed that both my mouse and keyboard had their lights working and the HDD light was blinking after small intervals, meaning it seems like only the output is the issue and not the booting/running of the PC itself.
If I start Windows in safe mode, I can get a clear and working picture from my VGA plug on my GPU (even though just at 600p), and after deinstalling the graphics drivers on my PC, I could receive an image from a normal mode boot as well with the same resolution, making it seem like a driver issue instead of a hardware one, but I'm not sure.
I tried deinstalling my drivers and reinstalling them multiple times but every time I had a driver installed, my GPU just refuses to send an image, even though it seems to be running.
I also used the Display Driver Uninstaller to completely remove my drivers but even then I can't get a picture on a fresh install.
My specs are as follows please don't bully me:
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit
CPU: Intel i5 4690k 3.5 GHz
8 GB RAM
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 I know.
GPU: NVidia GeForce GTX 760

I'm currently typing this on my GPU-driverless PC and it functions just as normal bar the resolution and other GPU intensive tasks since it seems my CPU is rendering all this.
If you guys have any advice I would be very grateful.

Damn, it just keeps pestering me

Should I?

For what reason?

xbox modding.

Alright thanks

I got one of those laptops that can fold backwards into a tablet recently and it came with 8.1 by default. When I tried to install any other non W10 OS on it, the drivers that turned off the keyboard when it was folded back stopped working.

Just buy a laptop that lists something other than W10 as an option to be safe, and if it's an OS you don't like then just run a virtual machine inside of it. I hate W8 but I've got mint and OSX VMs to ease the pain.


It's not about the government seeing your hentai collection, it's about supporting this kind of precedent that is dangerous on a much larger scale than anything on your computer. The surveillance state is scary not because of them actually catching people with the surveillance, but because of the climate of fear it instills on everyone and how it limits the kind of actions that they will take since they know that they could be watched.

So I have a pair of rabbit ears, and was thinking they'd make a pretty badass wifi antenna. Do you think it would work if I adapted them for my router?

as long as they're a pointy metal rod, but it's probably going to work much worse than the real thing

Took me a couple of hours to install it and revert back to seven so if you wanna keep your options open you can go for it.

Well, I should replace it as soon as possible then, it might not set your computer on fire but it can surely fuck up your motherboard.
Did you check if it had an 80-Plus mark on it? Or you just skimped on its quality because of your budget?

Thanks for the reply, networks sounds cozier, but how easy is it to get a job in each field? How is the pay, the work hours for each generally?
And the accessibility of the knowledge provided, which is it easier to self learn and therefore make the degree more useless? It seems everyone goes for networking so I'd naturally go for SE but I'm not sure basing my choice on such a simple reason would be wise. Apparently I score above average on SE related subjects without much effort, but I'm also interested in the military and wouldn't want to prove useless.
Would there be a better place to ask for advice on this?

antennas don't work the way you think they do. specifically the dipole antenna in your case, it's length must be relative to the wave length of the carrier to properly transmit all the energy or else you will just have the signal reflecting back to your router, which could damage it.

I have set up a webserver for my portfolio using Digitalocean. It has 512MB, 20GB of space. I wanted to set up a mail server for personal emails using my domain, but I'm not sure where to start.

why would you have your own mail, you can get one for free on multiple websites and being spied on is also free

Does someone now what's happening?

Hi tech, I have a problem with my asus notebook x551c.
Basically it started 2 months ago, when the battery started to last less until it started like 15 mins.
Then one day the computer just shut off and wouldn't turn back on, I thought it was due to the bad battery so I bought a replacement.
Thing is that I replaced the battery but the same thing happened again!
Now the computer won't turn on at all, have you got any advice?
I tried to hard reset it by removing the battery and the ac plug and hold the power button down for a minute or so, but it didn't work.

are you using the right adapter?

It's the original adapter so yes

if your battery can be charged externally without being connected to your laptop you might want to try that, make sure to wait for 2 hours and then stick the battery back in without the adapter and see if it turns on

How can I externally charge the battery?

Is there a download manager that automatically resumes interrupted downloads? I mean something to automatically continue to d/l when I get my connection back, in case I lose it.

Can someone recommend a replacement PSU for an Antec ISK 300-150? I was going to use a picopsu-160xt, but the total power draw for the system comes to around 170+W. (144W without optical drive, and I've assumed based on buildcomputers.net/power-consumption-of-pc-components.html that the optical drive will sip about 30ish watts at peak.

These are the components for reference: uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/dsfk6X

Are thinkpads still the best option for a cheap but decent laptop?

Someone has asked me to help them choose their first laptop. I instantly dismissed getting a cheap Acer or similar and recommended looking at second hand enterprise models. It doesn't need to be powerful as all this person does is browse the internet and use Libre Office to print letters.

Pretty much. Get an X220 or similar, it's perfect for what you need. Very fast, but don't go too much older than that.

Probably not useful if you already have the domain but namecheap offers email as an add on whenever you buy a domain, no configuration required.

So I had some updates I did for Windows on my Windows 7 Ultimate last night and every time I try to boot the computer I get to the Windows 7 splash screen and it hangs there before kicking me back to the motherboard. I've tried repairing the launch but the launch says it's unable to fix anything and when I check command prompt it always throws me at the D drive instead of the C drive. I'm thinking I need to download a new copy of the OS but Microsoft has it locked down and won't let me download an iso off their site while I can't get an iso from the Windows ISO Downloader app because I don't have IE11 and IE11 won't install on my other computer. What do? Other than install Linux.

I've been digging around some more, I'm able to get it to boot up to safe mode, but not log into safe mode. The keyboard and mouse run fine in Repair Mode and the boot selector but the safe mode doesn't and I'm noticing a blue screen in normal boot. I'm thinking it's bad interface drivers, how do I uninstall and reinstall the drivers with my only option being command prompt?

So my granny gave me an old laptop that I plan on using for office work (Just put WPS or some shit on that and never hook it up online, just transfer the shit to my regular PC when my work's done because 10's privacy is shit), it's Windows 10 but the problem is that I can't get past the fucking login screen, she can't remember the password and I've gone to my wit's end to solve the password. I've even tried plugging in my 8.1 fresh install USB in there and it still loaded up the same. Any bypass for this shit? The family was thinking about taking it to the computer shop but I think I can save us some cash by fixing it myself if there's a way.

If your logging in to pull files onto another drive or something you can just use a linux live usb to read the windows partition with the files on then do a fresh install of windows or whatever.

Nevermind, I've found a PSU. Now it's just a question of mounting it.. without a mount point. I was thinking velcro, though that doesn't seem very secure. Does anyone have a good permanent solution for securing a PSU without screws?

Either you don't follow me or I don't follow you at all.
Is tag name is not enough? Then you just need to find a way to represent the whole element uniquely as a string, and use that string as a key in the solution I proposed


right, it only supports GCC languages (C, C++, Java).

wrong. I think there's only one model of Arduino that is a SBC, but most of them are microcontrollers. There's no operating system in there, only your program.


like pic related?

Where can I find pic related?

So I decided to try out this f.lux thing and I like it but it's basically just a glorified screen color and birghtness changing program, is there a more convenient alternative that is more trustworthy? I can't help but feel suspicious that this is dataminging my GPS location.

I'm getting an absolutely maddening video problem where if I run something reasonably demanding (by 2008 standards at least) it works for a bit but then the graphics becomes much slower and remains that way until I reboot. Minetest triggers it very quickly (a couple of minutes) 40-50FPS becomes 5-15FPS. mpv can also trigger the problem but it takes longer, maybe 20 minutes or more before it starts dropping frames.

I don't believe it is Libreboot as I've had no problems watching video before it started happening maybe a month or two ago. It also happens on a second X200 with Libreboot so I don't believe it is hardware. I believe the issue is with Debian but I can't find anything else about it.


No idea. Linux has Redshift.


Now you say it wasn't there a time the monitor was powered from the PC PSU? Can't you just use one that plugs into a regular outlet instead?

how do I make my laptop's battery last longer?

I haven't used windows in a long time, but VR only works there. I have a pirated copy of win 7 installed, but it is being flagged as counterfeit. I don't want to have to reinstall.

Keygen? You probably want Daz's Loader

I use this version but then again I don't give my Windows 7 install internet access. I don't "trust" it, could have a trojan, and Windows updates could fuck it. So I keep the Windows computer airgapped. It's just for playing games and get the games there using other-than-network means.

Hello and sorry to bother everyone with this but I have an issue that seems like no one has an answer to.

It seems like all videos be it youtube, streaming videos or w/e else just stop buffering or playing 1/2 or 2/3s of the way through. Also Discord seems to end up dropping my side of the call. They can hear me but I cant hear them.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling chrome , flushed dns and released and renewed my ip. Cleared cache and cookies and honestly I have zero idea what the hell this problem is nor do I know how to fix it. I want to say its packet loss but I would of noticed it during online gameplay.

Can anyone tell me whats going on at least so i can try to fix it. Ive tried googling it but all I see are posts from 2012 saying "ya i have that problem too" and someone gives solutions to the same thing I have done, messing with adobe, uninstalling and reinstalling chrome and clearing shit.

Use Redshift and configure your location manually without using the auto-detection

This could honestly be any number of problems. If it was happening to me I would start with ping tests or other network tests and go (possibly way further) from there

Install and run powertop
sudo powertop --auto-tune
and reduce the brightness of the screen.

I would honestly not even know how to even go about evaluating the results of these things.

It's hard for somebody in this kind of format to help you. Like, if it was a family member I would want to go to their house or maybe remote in and try to troubleshoot. It could be a lot of things.

It's a process of elimination

Well thanks for the help though. Its always something with me. Would it be more of a software or internet issue would you say is more likely?

Could be either, if you are unfamiliar with testing your network/internet, why not try Firefox with youtube (and without flash, using HTML5) and see if the problem persists there?

If the problem persists then it's probably not chrome, if the problem remains then look at network or ISP issues

Note that Youtube is supposed to be able to work without flash installed or used at all, and flash is a hairy shitfuck that should be eliminated anyways.

I don't know anything at all about discord so I can't really comment on that

Oops

If the problem goes away then it's probably chrome or flash, if the problem persists then look at network/ISP

Sorry

Well discord is like mumble, teamspeak and what not though operates differently. It can be used in the browser as well. So if thats doing shit like this...then Idk i was thinking it might be an internet or overall computer thing.

Thank you again for a point in the right direction.

Yeah try using youtube (and discord if relevant) in Firefox with flash plugin disabled. and see if it makes a difference. That's what I would try if network testing was not an option right off the bat

How do I make a webm that will post on Holla Forums? I keep trying but It always comes out shit quality and 100+ MB.

gitgud.io/nixx/WebMConverter

Trial and error with a short 10 second video and look what the different flags do. webm for retards does already a lot for you, so you might consider using webm for retards for a start. Reducing resolution can help to make the video size smaller.

I think if you compile your own kernel and disable unneeded shit, your battery life should improve a bit

Need some help fixing my 2TB /home drive on Linux Mint. (It's on a separate drive from "/".)
Last night and today Mint wanted to check for mounting errors on my drives. Last night I ignored them, but today Mint started them while I was away from the keyboard during boot. I cancelled it part-way through thinking there was nothing wrong. I tried logging in and I get the error "Could not update ICEauthority file". After that I rebooted and let Mint finish the check this time. Same error on log in.
Going into a tty session I only see AccessYourData.desktop (or whatever it's called) and a README.txt. I tried decrypting the drive myself and get errors saying the encrypted drive wasn't set up properly. (It was working fine just last night.) I noticed that the .ecryptfs and .Private symlinks under my home folder were broken and the folders they should point to (/home/.ecryptfs/user/...) don't exist. Oddly enough, df still correctly shows the disk as half used, but I still can't access the files. Going into recovery and doing fsck also hasn't helped.
Currently, my workaround was to edit /etc/fstab to boot into my old 1TB /home drive which seems to work as normal. Since the 2TB drive is an exact clone (other than a changed UUID to avoid boot conflicts), is there a way to recover any files I need from the 1TB for decrypting the 2TB? (I don't want to re-clone the drive. I've added files to the 2TB since upgrading that I'd prefer not to lose.)

Block JS when possible, block flash, spoof/block the canvas, forge referrers and http header, get a redirects replacement addon. Make sure your setup isn't unique but also try to minimize the amount of information about your real setup you provide. Don't broadcast geolocation, disable google blacklists and anything else that pings google in your browser.

Okay, so after some more digging I found out that a lot of my files are in lost+found. I can't seem to find anything about recovering encrypted files in lost+found, but the files names look as they should in ~/.Private
Would a bash script to create a list of files on my 1tb disk and move the files out of lost+found to where they should be on my 2tb disk be a good solution? I could probably copy some of the files from the 1TB itself, but I'd rather not risk overriding newer copies of my files.
Or, would it be easier to copy the files necessary to decrypt the drive from the 1TB, then recover the files after decryption when I can see the actual filenames?

IceCat keeps doing this whenever I try to post. Why is that? I end up having to post from Pale Moon.

Alright, so I managed to recover the files. What I did was rename "lost+found" to ".Private". From there I could use "ecryptfs-recover-private" to mount the encrypted folder and view my files. Unfortunately the filenames are just random numbers, but they're there now at least.
Now I guess the question is if it's better to rename my files on the new drive with a bash script, or just copy any newer files from the new drive to the old drive and re-clone it?

I have to """upgrade""" to the cancer that is python3 and it literally makes me wanna puke

is there a way to get the old print statement back at least? Does something like the __past__ to python2's __future__ exist?

apparently it can be done by fucking with ast but i want a less painful solution

as the green text says yesterday it was working fine but now it just stopped working, on board graphics still work though, everytime i try to hook up the gpu to the monitor it gives a no signal then goes into sleep mode, is this a fixable problem or did the gpu just randomly die on me.

You should reseat it into the slot and think about other possible problems (power supply?) but yes, GPUs die fairly frequently and you may have to buy a new one or initiate contact with the maker for RMA

What updates for Windows 7 are safe?

Which are the ones that download Win10 spyware?

8ch.net/tech/w7tele.html

So I had to do a clean reinstall of Windows 7 since my install crapped out on me, but I get this shit when I try to delete the Windows.old that is sitting on my computer. For some reason SecuROM has these really strange files in here I keep trying to remove that Windows tells me doesn't exist even though they're there and I see them. I've tried deleting them and I get file not found, I've tried renaming them and I get file not found and I don't know how to get rid of these.

Thanks!

My video is only 1 minute long but is 340MB and I want it to be under the 8MB limit.

For some reason libreoffice has decided to completely die on me. When ever I try to run it I get the following
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!Warning: failed to read path from javaldx/opt/libreoffice5.1/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I thought at first it might be an issue with libcairo, so I updated it. No change. Also flushed libreoffice out and re-installed it to no avail.

Has anyone else had this problem?

OK Thinkpad owners of Holla Forums... help me if you can.

Maybe that's the problem.

now that KAT (the only decent public tracker) is dead, where can i upload my torrents so that everyone can find them easily?

Chromium based, so I'd avoid. Just use icecat.

From hackcave.net/2015/10/hack-windows-10-login-password-in-2.html

Things you need-

1) Any Linux live CD(like Ubundu CD)/USB. If you don't have one download any Linux distribution ISO file and Make a bootable CD/USB. For simplicity sake I suggest Puppy Linux (lightest Linux distro,less than 200mb).

2)Basic knowledge in dealing with cmd,boot menu etc.

So let's get started.

1)Insert the live CD/Usb and boot from it. [You may need to Turn off Secure Boot feature for UEFI BIOS]

2)Locate the drive where Windows is installed.(C drive) Goto Windows/system32 folder.

3)Find out a file named 'cmd.exe' and rename it to 'cmd0.exe'

4)Next find another file by the name 'sethc.exe' [It is the program for windows sticky keys] Rename sethc.exe to cmd.exe.

5)Finally rename cmd0.exe to sethc.exe. [Swapping the sticky keys program with Command Promt (cmd). So whenever Sticky Keys program is called it runs cmd and vice versa. ]

5)Great! Now Shutdown and boot into Windows.

6)Press shift key five or six times at the login screen.

7)Now the command prompt will open up. Type this without quotes and hit enter.

"net user"

8) Now you can see the list of active accounts [User Names] in the PC. Make a note of the Account Name you need to hack.

9) type the following command and hit enter.

"net user *"

Note : leave space

Replace it with the account you need to hack. In this example 'Mathews'

8)It will display 'enter new password'. Enter any new password and confirm. To remove password leave it blank.

Done! You can login with the new password now.

Note:Don't forget to Change back sethc.exe to cmd.exe afterwards.

I should write an article on "How to look up solutions to windows related problems online in 20 seconds"

And thanks for the fix. You could try recloning, but you're taking your chances. I think the bash script sounds safer although unnecessary since tools already exist for the job, file-rename is one.

The new mint release gets rid of the proprietary codecs.

After updating to the latest AMD drivers the computer won't recognize my second graphics card or display any image to the monitor plugged into it. I'm also having problems with games freezing the whole computer when trying to launch them.

I've tried doing a clean install of the drivers even doing the display driver removal in safe mode but I still can't get it to recognize the second card again.

The card is receiving power as the fans on it are spinning.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Actually it's showing up in over drive now but it's not outputting any image and it's not showing up in HW Monitor.

Okay, I've tested the second graphics card by itself and it is able to output to both monitors on it's own so both the 2nd graphics card and the pci slot are okay.

halp me dade.

Is there a way to use firefox without visible title bars or ui so that it looks good in a twm?

What's the best web browser to use and why?

I read that TOR browser is funded 75% by the US govt, links: whoishostingthis.com/blog/2014/11/17/who-funded-tor/
torproject.org/about/financials.html.en
So is TOR useless? Is it basically a govt funded honeypot?

The answer is that it's funded by scientific grants, and the state department, it was invented by the NRL. CIA wants that funding because it gives good plausible deniability to agents.
Good luck with plausible deniability when no one uses it. So yes, they invented it and gave it away for free. They benefit from a secure network for their agents, and benefit from a lot of people using it for state department and CIA agents to hide in the noise.

Are you sure it's not the boot partition?

yeah, I had made a 300 gig partition to install debian on but I somehow am too retarded to install debian. I googled it and it said to use EXT4. so hopefully my comp doesn't blow up.

EXT4 is the standard for almost any distro but in a few more years BTRFS will surpass EXT*.

I'd also prefer to install the OS in a smaller partition like 20GB (be it linux or windows) so I can easily make snapshots and reflash the ISO when everything fucks up.

Ok, so I inherited a mess at my job and I'm trying to figure some things out since we have an issue of not being able to access the local town's tax assessors office website. Every other internet site works, except for that one fucking site. We have a second internet line in the owner's office with a separate IP address and we can get to the site just fine on that line, but the corporate internet line we cannot.

The basic setup is a Windows Server 2003 domain (DNS, Exchange, DHCP, AD), one Cisco 1760 router with a static route that dumps all traffic to a mother fucking Linksys E1000 which pushes it out to the internet.

Trace is as follows:

I think my CPU is fucked. It's running at about 77c when idle and the PC turns itself off about a minute after booting up. I've never overclocked it and I've tried using a different cooler, cleaning the insides of any dust and using different thermal paste but nothing changes.
I'm still under warranty so I'll probably send it back but I guess I'll ask for any advice here first.

I fucked up, Holla Forums.
I installed Linux Mint 18.1 alongside Windows 7, and now I can't boot Windows 7. I can see through the Disk manager that my Windows partition is still there, I just can't boot it. How bad did I fuck up?

You did well, user. Good job.

Probably not that badly, I think you might have just accidentally also removed the tiny bootloader FAT32 partition (it's usually only a few megabytes if iirc) that Windows installs. Unfortunately I have no idea how to restore that.
Good news is that as long as your Windows partition is still there you can back it up, reinstall and transplant all the files you want to keep from your old install.

Fuck, does this mean I have to reinstall Wangblowz? I have the bootable USB right here, but still, I like how fast everything I do in Mint happens. It's High speed, Low drag. I just wonder how it'll hold up when I have 1-3 hundred tabs open in it.

It looks like I'm going to have to reinstall wangblows then.

Maybe not, there might be some trick to restore only the bootloader partition, but it will involve you resizing a partition to make space for it.
I found this, might be worth a shot:

I've reinstalled Windows 7 already, nothing of value was lost, not even the Mint partition I made. That being said, I have no idea how to manipulate the boot order so I can decide between Mint and Windows on startup. Anyone know how?

Hello Holla Forums.

I have a fairly simple problem: I need to change the file permissions for a usb device so that I can move a folder into it. Specifically, the usb has an .iso of Windows 7 on it, and I need to move a folder containing a boot program onto it in order to create a bootable drive, but it keeps saying the device is read-only. The usb is formatted in NTFS, and I'm using Linux Mint, which I've discovered is part of the problem, but I have no idea how to get around that.

Anyway, I checked the ubuntu forums but was unable to parse their nerd gibberish as usual, since they always assume a level of knowledge of filesystems and other wizardry that I haven't the faintest clue about. I was hoping one of you might have a simpler explanation of what I should do. I just wanna be able to play Mount and Blade, dude. Pls halp

Scratch my question, nevermind. I'm an idiot. I didn't need anything other than the .iso on the drive.

I have no idea how I managed to fuck up, but I did somehow fuck up the Mint installation process. Basically, the GRUB only shows up if I have the USB I used to install Mint on this computer in the USB slot, and when it does, there's no option to boot Windows. When it's not in the slot, Windows automatically boots, no GRUB.
I'm going to boot Mint one more time and then go to bed, and hope someone knows how I fucked up and how to fix it.

I need help from someone who is familiar with Dell's proprietary designs.

Question is can a do a mother board swap and stick my e93839 and have the heat sink fit from it, or should I not bother spending the time digging it out because it won't work.

I have the one that uses Mint and Tor. I can post it once I am able to.

I am thinking that you possibly selected your install USB as the boot loader which obviously can't find Windows.
To fix it, boot up mint, enter the commands outlined on arch`s grub wiki page specifically under the "install to disk" menu and put in the disk that holds your root partition disk list e.g, sda . Yes I know that was explained poorely.

Whats that program that adjusts your monitor lighting depending on the time of day?

From how it looks, it's worth a shot.

I just bought a Thinkpad. It came with a Nvidia Quadro and I can't for the life of me figure out how to use it. When I go to system info it says im still using the Intel integrated graphics. Help? Im using the Mint distro

If it's NVIDIA Optimus then you're gonna have a horrible time. Apparently the official blobs have "supported" it for a while, as in they just implemented Bumblebee, an already ugly hack to make the cards usable. (cue NVIDIA fuck you rant)


I just like the passion and leg cuddling, not much into yuri. But it's catchy!

I'm assuming that's the rename command? How would I use it in my scenario? It looks like it uses filenames for arguments, whereas I need to determine what the file is before renaming it.

I would love to do that, but now the entirety of Mint irreparably freezes after ten minutes of using Firefox so I can't figure out how. Anybody know why it does this?

I've just bought an RX 480. I can't find my cable for pcie power (modular psu), so I went out and bought a molex->pcie adapter. The adapter wires two molex into one 6pin connector, but two of the pins are wired to the same 12v pin on one molex. Will this configuration really be able to drive a 150W card? On one hand, the wires support 11A max, so 2×12V×11A=264W, but I don't know how stingy the card is with rails and if it demands 3 separate rails.

Fuck. I'm not installing it again either, considering that I know literally nothing is wrong with that partition.

I wasn't suggesting a complete reinstall just grub. If Firefox freezes up the system: Booting up, before loging in, open a tty (ctrl+alt+F# ( usually anything but one, seven and eight will be free). Then login via that and run first "lsblk -f" so that you can find your / . Then just follow what I set out ealier and it should all be fine.

I ran a command for grub2 to check what OS's were on the computer, and now when I boot I have free choice on what OS to boot.
Free as in freedom.

Is there a better addon/program for taking full page screenshots in firefox. Fireshot fucking sucks.

Best free alternative to Windows Movie Maker?

I've gotta get contacts off a phone with a broken screen. Not quite sure how to, mainly since the two phones are different brands (HTC & Samsung), so anyone know if there's a good 'Droid emulator that exists, so I can just replicate the presses?

I'm by no means an expert, but that does sound crookish.


from stackoverflow.com/questions/1086502/rename-multiple-files-in-unix

Yes. I usually open and watch webms in a seperate tab to solve this problem. Holla Forums doesn't close webms properly and blocks the audio output after watching many webms.

Today I found some PC gore in my own system. My desktop CPU likely overheated (I should have been more attentive to cleaning/maintaining it). Anyways, in hopes someone can answer this here are my issues:


Has anyone seen this happen to a CPU, and can it be caused by heat? No, I did not forget to flip the lever to release the CPU from the mobo. I'm thinking about throwing in a cooler CPU, but before I go and buy one what do you think the chances are the mobo works after removing the pins (2nd pic related)? The discoloration on the socket make me lean towards heat too. The mobo still "worked" last I tried it, as in the last day I attempted to use it I did get a successful boot out of about a dozen tries.

No way that was caused by heat, 50-60 is perfectly normal at load. Anything below 80 is ok. That discolouration looks like it might be a bit of corrosion.

Windows sound mutes itself randomly. I have win7, all drivers are up to date, I have my sound settings for communication set to 'do nothing', shit is set between 44100 and 192000Hz at 24 bit.
As said, everything is up to date, even tried downloading codecs, didn't do jack shit. It mostly happens when I'm using chrome, SOMETIMES when I'm playing vidya (really fucking annoying). It can mute itself once and not unmute automatically, it can also mute and unmute itself a fuck load of times during a two minute period.
Couldn't really be the fault of my sound card dying, because the little faggot speaker in the task bar goes from regular to the muted symbol. Not even silenced, muted, the red-white no-entry blocked shit appears.
Sometimes I have to un-mute manually, which pisses me off, especially when I'm watching a movie. Shit just cuts. Randomly. Tired of it. Help.

Also, had Windows 10, thought that cunt might be the problem... although manually reverting (that included me having to plug my drives back on) to Win7 helped for like 4 days or so.

I suspected it had to do with Holla Forums itself, this site really is fucked, isn't it?

Anything /tech related?

My left click accidentally trigger right click every 10 clicks or if i am dragging something for too long. What is wrong?

Why do you think that?

Startpage doesn't show kat.cr or rarbg.to for "kickasstorrents" and "rarbg" queries, respectively. Should I be worried?
DDG does show them, surprisingly, as first results even.

Holy shit, thank you!

Kickass torrents was "seized" by the feds a while ago.
Not sure abut rarbg.

I know, I was just curious whether there already are mirrors brought up by someone else and so on. So, unless SP purges their chache really often, my guess is someone asked them to not show those two (and likely others) in search results.

Tech`s mods aren't really known for deleting posts. Ask in metetech and hopefully you will get a response. Personally, my money is on the idea that the OP killed the thread after getting a decent amount of replies as a troll.

Most jobs also equally depend on who you know. I would assume SE would be easier to get into because of the low barrier to entry.
SE likely has the lower pay because they are at their core disposable. Hours are likely to be very high as code monkey's are usually seen as being pretty low on the company ladder and thus can be more likely to be "asked" to work overtime more oftern.
Both are equally accessible, I have a few networking related textbooks which I will put up on ipfs when I can.
Also if you are looking to get into the military, networking is the better option as programmers are likely contracted out while an employee is needed to manage the network because of sensitive nature of the transmissions.

Is anyone here knowledgeable in making DVD and Blu-Ray players region free for just DVD's?

60Hz is kind of like 480p. You're way behind the times.

Any monitor suggestions?

Speaking of which, this is my graphics card.

Is it worth buying a 4790K or it's Xeon equivalent for a gaming rig?

Could I get some font help? Screenshot is from pcmanfm in xfce.

How do I prevent the presence of Japanese text from changing the font of numerals and other characters in front of it, as seen here? Weirdly this only happens with hiragana etc, not kanji.

Here's an much more troublesome problem which just started now, after changing to numix theme and installing the infinality fontconfig bundle.

This is the album list in quod libet, with Japanese text pushing the rest of the text out of frame. It never used to do this.

So, I fucked up. I have a WNR3500lv2 router, and it was flashed with Tomato firmware. Guy who develops tomato did a new release a few days ago and I wanted to upgrade. I did my 30-30-30 reset, but I mistakenly tried to flash an incompatible version of the firmware onto my router. Now it won't respond to my pings and I'm afraid it's bricked. Is there anything I can do to try and salvage my device?

Try and flash it again.

I can't access the webgui and I've been trying to use a program called tftpd to try and upload the stock firmware without any luck. Am I just fucked now? I saw this video youtube.com/watch?v=o5AOH3Jl7VA and this guy says to use a USB to TTL converter in conjunction with the aforementioned program to flash the router but I don't have one. I ordered one and it's on the way so I'll give it a try but I was wondering if you might know if there's anything else I could do to get it flashed again.

I have no experience with this particular router, does it have a rescue mode?

Hi tech, I have a problem with my asus notebook x551c.
Basically it started 2 months ago, when the battery started to last less until it started like 15 mins.
Then one day the computer just shut off and wouldn't turn back on, I thought it was due to the bad battery so I bought a replacement.
Thing is that I replaced the battery but the same thing happened again!
Now the computer won't turn on at all, have you got any advice?
I tried to hard reset it by removing the battery and the ac plug and hold the power button down for a minute or so, but it didn't work.
Also I am using the original adapter and the battery can't be charged externally for what I know.

I'm not sure. I've searched around and it seems like the installation CD should come with a recovery utility, but I have no optical disk drive so that's out of the question. Maybe I can download the app somewhere. Aside from that, I don' think it has a built in "safe mode" that you can access by holding in the reset button for a specific amount of time while powering it on.

Is Usenet any good for a free user? Or is it something u just gotta pay for to get anything worthwhile

How do I update Iridium Browser for Ubuntu? The binaries in the repo haven't been updated in almost a year.

I'm gonna try asking this question again.
Does anyone else have a problem with mpd? My songs end just slightly too early.
This is by a factor of less than a second, but some songs don't fade away towards the end which makes it a problem.
If I play the same file with mpv, it works perfectly fine. But with mpd + ncmpcpp it ens slightly too early.
Looking at the clock on the bottom, it seems to skip a couple of seconds in the beginning.
It will go from 0:00, 0:01 and then 0:03.
Or from 0:00 to 0:02
Or even later that, like from 0:05 to 0:07.

If it works perfectly fine for you (on songs that don't fade out) you can tell me that too so I know the bug is specific to me. I'm on os x El Capitan

which drivers should I be using with a 280x?

I updated them and I'm getting screen flicker now.

I have a large graphics card (1070), and after mounting it on my mobo and screwing it in, it's a little loose away from the PCI-E slot that it's mounted in. Is this normal? Anything I need to do about this?

Also: is there any way to get an official windows 7 install iso from microsoft anymore? I have a product key, don't have an installation disk.

Are you sure you pushed it all the way in?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
I mean, I plugged my DVI cable into the graphics card to test the display and I could see bios just fine, so wouldn't that indicate that it's connected properly?
I assume this is normal, because it's only physically supported on one half, and it's pretty long.
It's only a little loose (like I can tell it's not completely fixed in place).

Enjoy.

Looking for a possible cracking solution for "Wake me up Asuna" on Android devices. Lucky Patcher didn't help just sayin'..

If I remember correctly you can create an account on one of their sites (their main one?) and then download the version that relates to your product key. Alternatively which version do you have? I can probably find a .iso of it that matches the official checksum for it. I can also merge the covience rollup into it if you want or leave it up to you?

why is this happening? Is it my ISP?

I'm using the dd command to clone my harddrive to another for backup (I learned about the need to backup the hard way fuck me) I'm on centos which uses xfs filesystem, the destination hdd is formatted in ext4. Is it ok to clone to an hdd with a different (still linux based) filesystem from the original hdd?

I finally got my hands on a little CRT monitor, anything I can do to adjust the color and fine tune it? It's picture is a little yellowed.

The router is possibly reaching it's memory limit.

The clone will transfer everything even the filesystem. All you need to do then, is ensure that the revelant driver is installed and that if it is auto mount as part of the system that fstab is update. Grub is a pain to manual edit, chrooting in will fix that though.

I'm this guy, I've read that I should do the cloning from a liveusb? Is it ok if I just do it from the source while I'm using the source?

If the source is already cloned and that is your source then then it should be fine. If you mean to try and clone it over while it is in use, I can see data intercity issues poping up.
E.g, if=clone-of-sda1.iso of=/dev/sdx1 while using /dev/sda1 should be just fine. However if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdx1, while /dev/sda1 is in use could cause data intergity issues.

Thank you my man, I really appreciate it!

I can't fucking do it. I have never in my life nor will I ever give Apple my credit card information. How the hell can I get xcode? There must be SOMEWHERE it can be downloaded from.

I recently became the possessor of an android phone model Xperia XA Software v 6.0
I know nothing about android devices, have used some version of BB/WinMo (and a brief brush with macfaggotry) exclusively.
Figuring out how to get superuser or root is very difficult, there are many tools out there but none seem compatible with my model. what the fuck do I do? Keep in mind that I'm a massive newfag to androids and have generally no clue what I'm doing. Can't really find much documentation for my specific model, etc.
Am I playing a waiting game with some chinese fuckers or is there some magical way to universally root android devices?
Is there any direction you guys could point me in where I could learn about android rooting / android superuser?

i am using pale moon because firefox is so fucking bloated.

but when i click a webm/mp4 it doesnt do it inline, but loads as a hyperlilnk. what gives?

Does anyone have a link or some sort of guide for a complete retard as to how to be secure on the clearnet? vpns? I have no idea, I of cours eknow about the other methods, but how do I be secure while using a normal browser? is it even feasible?

Dont use google chrome, at LEAST chromium.

In-browser proxy extensions are not safe. Get a VPN, and get ad-block.

Once you do those things, you've got the basics covered.

now it doesnt seem to do that, but when i click links or somethig it highlights them in yellow and opens in new tab. wat da fug

I use Pale Moon, and it seems to be hit or miss for me how the video loads. Apparently opening too many videos online on Holla Forums also causes the audio to stop working due to it not closing them properly. (Not sure if this affects all browsers or just Firefox-based ones, but I'm not the only one with this issue.)
I try to open the videos in mpv or a new tab to avoid this.
Open With is great for this. (If you don't have it, I highly recommend it.)

I think there's a way to do it without using a credit card.
support.apple.com/en-us/HT204034
This is for itunes and the app store so it might not work from the developers site.
I unfortunately haven't tested it myself but I hope it works for you.

In winforms, what's the best way to group a bunch of controls together?

you can always design a new MyControl : Control class that contains other controls, but it's only recommended if you want to create more instances of the same group of controls

Ok that's exactly what I need to do, thanks.

its happening again for some reason. and it seems it ignore my setting for keeping audio at about 50%. it makes me url bar turn yellow until it loads the webm or mp4 like clicking a hyperlink, instead of loading it inline with the page.

I plan on building a 24-7 device with a currentish generation AMD APU. Does having a 45 TDP but on a older iteration out weight a 65 TDP on a newer iteration?

It doesn't really matter with AMD processors.

You might just want to go with lower TDP for efficiency. Also it would help if you post the models.

I'm having some trouble getting the four pin molex connectors from my case fans connected to my PSU cables. On two of them, I tried to use force to get the damned things connected, but when I did, the pins from the fan molex connectors were pushed out a bit.? I'm largely ignorant of electricity, if one of these protruding pins connected with my metal case, would it create an electric current through my case that could short my hardware?
Also, any tips on getting these connected?

Windows 7.
I need to use some non-keyboard characters, and I don't want to copy-paste them every time. Figured I'll just hold alt and type the hex value to do that, but turns out that whenever I try to use a non-decimal-digit, my system just goes "ding!" and does not let me finish. So I write Alt+0999 but Alt+099A just fails.
Last time I alt-typed anything was triforcing on 4/b/ in mid 2000s.

if you install windows 7 with a service pack, can you remove individual updates from the pack?

In the router there is a certain amount of RAM free after the embeded OS boots that is available for thr routing table (it manages connections). The "easist" way would to chuck more RAM at the problem. Most off the shelf routers have usually less than one gig of RAM. So the solution then becomes to create your own router using a old computer (or build one with new parts) and add more RAM to it. There is a thread on creating your own router

It may be possible in theory.

Okay so I'm using windows 7 and for some reason it isn't detecting my usb wifi adapter. I haven't had this problem on any other computer I've used.

Haven't tried on linux yet to see if the OS is the issue, but I will in a bit.

I installed Debian testing dvd 1 on my laptop. How do I get wifi working?

I need to have the init script in my initramfs take input a password to decrypt a key file but it won't. Since the root file system does not get mounted, the init system ends up trying to kill itself, and I get a kernel panic. So far, I have tried adding console=/dev/tty1 to my kernel command line, adding
exec setsid sh -c 'exec sh /dev/tty1 2>&1'
and
setsid sh -c 'exec sh /dev/tty1 2>&1'
to the init script (at different times), and changing all instances of 'noctty = 1' and '*noctty = 1' to equal 0 in tty_io.c. None of this has worked. The setsid commands are from busybox.net/FAQ.html#job_control. I know that the issue is its inability to take input because I can see the output of the commands before and after it I can't see anything from stdout, since that and stdin are both linked to /dev/null by default and at no point get a prompt from gpg to type the password, so it's not stuck in a loop or crashing or anything. I would try to adding 'console=/dev/tty1 console=/dev/tty0' to the kernel command line, but I don't seem to be able to access /dev/tty1 when it is there by itself, so I don't really see how that would help. I have verified that the gpg command gives a prompt to type the password in the terminal normally, with the binary in the initramfs, so that cannot be the problem. The only thing it can be at this point is that I cannot access stdin, which, from what I have read, is correct, since it just links to /dev/null for PID 1. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you have another computer download both
packages.debian.org/jessie/libiw30https://packages.debian.org/jessie/wireless-tools
copy them over, and run dpkg -i package.deb on them. Personally I only went that far, temporally switched the wifi to unsecured, connected with (substitute wlan0 with your wireless interface name)
iwconfig wlan0 essid "Free CP Network"ifconfig up wlan0
then install network-manager and setup a WPA2 from there. if it's possible though, just tether your phone or jack in the router via ethernet and install your wireless tools of choice

if you're not running jessie make sure to select the correct version

Guys, I just stupidly turned on my home theater on 220v while it was set as 110v. A very loud BANG happened with a big spark coming out of it. I then turned it off. Would it be safe to try and turn it on again now that I switched it back to 220v, or is it dead for good? Its a cheap phillips.

Replace PSU and it will work again.

Any chance it could be just a blown fuse? I dont think I can find a spare psu unit for this HT, its too low cost. They probably dont supply it outside of the official supply chain.

I think im having the same issue.

I'm trying to figure out how to setup a secure VM system. Whonix in particular. The problem is that I'm fucking paranoid and am worried about VM escapes. The obvious solution, I think, would be to install grsec in the VM itself, to prevent priv escalation exploits which would in turn prevent the vm escape. But Whonix doesn't really work with grsec.

What methods can I use to harden the VM from the host side? I'm already using AppArmor for libvirt but I'd like additional security. I've looked into using grsec's RBAC system but it seems too difficult for me; I'm not that skilled (Yet, hopefully...).

Does anyone here have any advice? Pointers? Anything?

found that copypasta

CERN created the internet.
or at least that's what the facts are in this timeline.

in my timeline CERN never created the internet.


in my timeline the internet was created in the earlier days of the military to create a new secret more secure form of communication, and the project was used by the earlier hackers who basically found and then began to use the internet for their own needs, and the military did nothing to stop it, but rather sat back and watched. they always wanted others to use it, because look at what it became today. today the internet is the largest worldwide surveilance system where people unknowingly or knowingly give their information to the entire world. However, it is beginning to appear more as though CERN may have hijacked the timeline for their own purposes and made themselves the original creators of the internet. in theory, how much money or power would one person hold if they were to go back in time and become the original creator of google, and never sell it?- let alone the entire internet?

here are some links, some are more conflicting than others- perhaps due to timeline residue. not everything gets changed or erased, similarly to how so many people remember things differently.

How rare are viruses that infect hardware firmware?

I'm looking for an app for Android to compare different formats of audio files. I want to see if I can tell the difference between FLAC, mp3 and opus on my phone setup.

While waiting for my answer I may as well give some


Nonexistent in your ordinary everyday computing world. Just consider that you'd have to write a virus _specifically_ for the hardware; then write a container which spreads it and deploys it. Damn difficult job.
Except when you design the hardware specifically to have "viruses" built-in.Yes. Intel.


Just grab a FLAC file and a FOSS software like Audacity/Ardour/LMS and convert it to a few different formats.
Not out of elitism, but I'd be darn surprised if you even felt the difference between 256 and 320kbps mp3 on a phone. Mobile phones notoriously to have low quality amps/DACs built-in, even/especially those that advertise as the new Walkman(tm)


If you want to un-fuck Windows 7 then you should look around online to see if you can find a repack that's coming without the MS spyware updates. I did that before buying a new PC. This is the easiest.

To uninstall them after they'd already been installed you need to go to:
Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features
Then go to "View installed updates" and remove one-by-one.

Also there are online tutorials/scripts to completely un-fuck Windows under the name "remove microsoft spyware" or something


I don't really want to get into the Mandela crap because I think 99% of it is just a bunch of people not remembering things correctly, but this internet thing is a bit confusing to me.

How do I change my monitor refresh rates in Mint17.3?
I'm in CCC and the option is grayed out for some reason.

With my Nvidia card I was able to change it in some weird ass settings menu but I'm not able to now with my Fury X.

looking for VPN recommendations. Prefer l2tp for linux or something better in terms of security. I'm running linux mint / windows 7 combo for 3 computers.

I'm trying to format my partition and install W7(x64), I have a bootable USB and everything set up for it. The problem is that for some reason the USB keyboard isn't recognized at the "press a key to boot from USB" screen, despite working fine to access the BIOS. What's going on?

Are you talking about McAfee or does this go deeper and I am blissfully unaware?

Is there a program out there that can record up to 7 monitor outputs at the same time? So you could record everything that is happening on all your monitors at once?

If you've got the processing power for 7 fucking monitors then why don't you just use typical software recording programs? Do you want them to all be run down to a single file? OBS has multiple monitor support, but IMHO it runs like shit. Are you running a Nvidia video card? Does the program need to be free? Have you seen TechSmith's Morae? Snagit?
Check 'em

I've done a lot of research on this and have settled on Mullvad. They seem like literally the only trustworthy VPN company. They fit the bill on all points that seem important to me:

1. Developers are not anonymous. They're known and you can find talks by them on youtube where they're doing presentations on general computer security and internet freedom. If you look into their backgrounds you'll find activists and people dedicating their lives to making technology freedom more widespread.

2. They accept BTC and cash in mail

3. They're based in a country where they can legally keep no logs (Only ISPs are required by law to log in europe, not VPN providers, and Swedish law doesn't require them to log).

4. They make no false, hyperbolic claims about their service. This seems important to me. All the other major providers make outlandish, blatantly false claims about the privacy/anonymity provided by their service.

5. Their privacy policy is not a wall of legalese bullshit that can be interpreted in a million different ways. It's as succinct and concise as it can get.

6. They have no "use policy". Other VPN companies say they will shut down your account if you're doing specific things they don't want. Like using their service to spam people. Or download cp. They say this while claiming that they never monitor or log user's traffic, which is obviously a contradiction, which means they're liars. Mullvad is very clear about not having such a policy because they can't, because they never log or monitor any traffic.

7. The software VPN client they provide to users who don't want to setup OpenVPN themselves is 100% FOSS.

Mullvad is the only company I've found that lives up to all of these points. If anyone knows of any other companies like this, please say.

Thank you!
I've been looking for information everywhere to no avail. It's like a sales convention with most VPN sites and their privacy policies.

Any good streaming sites for normalfag shows? I don't feel like teaching my mom how to torrent, but I did set up Firefox so she can right-click webpages and open them in mpv for streaming. (I don't know or care what shows she watches.)
rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
I guess I'm picking from this list assuming she uses mpv like I showed her?

My video situation is all fucked up. Video for me works in Firefox, Chromium, MPV. It does not work in Qutebrowser, Pale Moon, or even JanusVR. I think it's because the ones that work have their own ways to show video? I have every imaginable version of gstreamer, so what could be going on here? I'd like to avoid completely reinstalling, but it's starting to become inevitable. By video, I mean HTML5 video and webm's.

Are the latter browsers (or their rendering engines) compiled with required media playback support?


Popular shows you might be able to find from video streaming sites like novamov and the like. The problem is that neither youtube-dl or livestreamer or nothing can fetch the videos from some of those sites. So it requires a bit of luck and skills to fetch videos from those sites.

If you watch with the intended flash player, they have nasty ads sometimes.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

You have made a series of bad decisions in life leading up to this point.

Because Moot hired desuwa and deployed the new version, Holla Forums hired Josh and then when all was said and done the kike owning this shithole decided that he didn't want to release the source code in an ongoing fashion once the cripple inevitably dies so he made his son and his Filipino wage slaves "fix" it with a half-assed solution instead of using a proper and more performant cache like redis and actually getting a proper SAN.

I don't know what you mean by this. I have read on the forums to those browsers to install all the gstreamer plugins, so I assume they do not.

Anyone else have a problem where qbittorent is slower than their actual download?
FOr example, if I got download something off MEGA I get like 2.5 MiB/s
but when I got to BitTorrent I only get like 300 Kib/s download and 1 MiB/s upload simultaneously, which is in total 1300 Kib/s.

Can someone explain to me how to change my mouse sensitivity in Mint? I get that apparently you're supposed to do it in the terminal on account of the fact that there is no slider to use anywhere, but I don't know how, and the only result that turns up when I search it just says: 'xinput works just fine. There's a recent thread on this. It gives you much finer control over the pointing device than you can get with a couple of sliders. When you find settings that you like then make a small startup script for your username.' but I don't know what thread the dude is talking about, or how to do any of the stuff he mentioned. Help?

You're not supposed to do it in the terminal. Keep looking in the settings. If you can't find it it might be impossible with your mouse or something. Try hooking up another mouse to see if it shows up.

That's not how it works. For a P2P client, your up and down speed is up to the seeders and leechers.

The commands in should be self-explanatory

I mean that that's not what Mint's designers expect you to do and that it's not the best solution for him. He assumed that you're not supposed to do it graphically.

I do set up my mouse in my .xinitrc but that's not what I'd suggest in this case.

Another question, how easy would it be to migrate a Windows 7 dual to to a QEUM PCIE-passthrough while ensuring that the drive letters and such in the dual stay the same?

Hey Holla Forums. I need your help with something. I've just finished reformatting my computer and I'm in the market for a firewall/antivirus. I used to use AVG, but they've since gone full jew about their business practices and their tech's gone to the shitter anyways, and I haven't touched anything else for years. What's a good antivirus/firewall that won't break my bank or isn't run by shady reptillian shapeshifting rats? the wiki recommends comodo, but I've been hearing some weird things about them and their business practices.

If you're careful you really don't need an antivirus. I've gone years without one and never gotten anything untoward.

That said, if you're still looking, try Microsoft Security Essentials. It's reasonably light and non-invasive, and doesn't cost anything.

Ok, apparently
exec setsid sh -c 'exec sh /dev/tty1 2>&1'
works. The problem was that I was having it run before actually mounting /dev. Everything works now.

So, there is win 7, 8.1, 10. Wich one can be adjusted to use around 600 mb of RAM?
And there is windows server edition, 2012. Is it ok for desktop? I have really shitty pc so i need as much resources for tasks as possible. And no linux, please, already tried it

The wiki has a .png that supposly can help Windows 7 to slim down to use 500MB of RAM.
Unlike GNU/Linux, the server edition of Windows is focused soly on being a server so no it won't be of use.
Wine and PCIE-passthrough can help with playing games. Lxqt is pretty light while being supported. Also Rolling release >>> "stable" release.

linux IS good, i absolutely love it, but somehow my system cant handle non-native linux software in any way. Wine - crashes, virtual_something - can even start it, states my cpu isnt supported or something like this.

Use only native software compiled specifically for your hardware and needs (i.e. install gentoo)

The FAQ is likely out of date though that doesn't mean it isn't useful. Metatech has the link in it`s intro sticky.

I want to switch to Linux/BSD (from Win7) but I'm having trouble finding a stable DAW or music sequencer.

Does anyone have experience running FL Studio or Studio One in Wine? Documentation says both are very stable and well-tested but this desktop isn't a monster and I'm still a bit wary.

I should mention I don't do a great deal of live recording at home so latency isn't an issue

Whelp, for all matters and purposes, this stick is now useless. does anyone know a way around?P.S.: standard Ubuntu file manager.

It might be a problem with the flash drive. NAND memory can lock up and become unwritable when it starts to fail.

What are some Holla Forums approved FTP clients?

So my brother asked me to upgrade his store-bought asus desktop for him. It had pic related motherboard and so I decided to get an x4 845 to upgrade the previously installed A6 6400K. I installed the new cpu no problem and threw in an r9 270x I had on hand and booted it up to find that it powered on but didn't boot. I checked to see if it was the graphics card, but that wasn't the problem. Neither was the PSU or RAM. I swapped out the new cpu for the old one and it worked perfectly.

My question is that is this cpu not compatible with this motherboard? The motherboard supports the cpu chipset. Maybe it's the fact that it isn't an APU? or is it just that the motherboard is from a prebuilt desktop? I sure hope that I didn't just waste $100. I sure hope that I'm not a complete retard and that it's something obvious that I'm missing.

How do I get it to cut it out?

Is there a BIOS update available? Also is the display connection made with the GPU or the motherboard?

How do I get this piece of shit to run in Wine?

I keep getting stuck at this Get Flash thing with no idea how to get around it.

Can somebody explain the relationship between fuse, vfs, and gvfs? I'm having a hard time understanding a lot of the jargon that is being thrown around on the pages I've looked at.

why don't you try installing flash?

It's already installed in on linux. I'm running Flockmod in Wine. Please, try to download and run Flockmod in Wine, and when you got it actually working come back to me and tell me how you did it.

When you run a command without specifying a path to it, the shell checks a variable ($PATH) to find out what directories it is supposed to look in for the command. If it doesn't find anything, the command fails. So, to run your program without specifying a path to it (the ./ tells it that the file is in the current directory), you have to add the path to the file to the $PATH variable. You can do that with something like this:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/program/
Having $PATH there ensures that you can still use other commands. The various directories in the $PATH variable are separated by colons.

Alright, here's how I understand it.

Filesystems on a device are basically ways of describing how the files are stored. Think about how textbooks are laid out. The most common way of doing it it is with a contents page at the front, useful shit in the middle (with a title at the top of each page) , and an index at the back. You could decide not to have a contents page though - you've just changed the filesystem. You could instead not include titles at the top of each page (after all, the titles are already printed in the contents page) - that's another way of doing the "filesystem".

So you have software that needs to read and write to files on a device, for example libreoffice writer. Of course it'd be fucking retarded if libreoffice writer had to understand every single goddamn filesystem in existence just to be able to open a book report or whatever, so instead we have a thing called the virtual file system. Libreoffice writer doesn't know how to interact with the filesystem on the device, instead it interacts with the virtual file system, and the vfs then interacts with the filesystem on the device. When libreoffice wants to open your book report, it says to the vfs "hey open the file book_report.docx" and then the vfs tells the kernel to interact with the device and open the file, and then passes it onto libreoffice.

libreoffice (userland) VFS (in the kernel) ext4, ntfs, whatever (device).

The filesystem that you can see and interact with is the vfs. When you do "$ ls /", you're seeing the vfs. Of course there are several other filesystems mounted so that their files are viewable within the vfs (for example your home partitions might be ext4) but you don't directly interact with that - the kernel does.


This is getting long. Onto fuse next.

I see.
Thanks for the simple yet clear explanation user.

FUSE:

Filesystem in User Space. Usually the vfs interacts with the filesystem drivers in the kernel, for example the drivers for ext4 or xfs or whatever else.

However, kernel programming is difficult and also a security hazard (because if someone finds an exploit, it runs with the kernel's privileges). So there is something called FUSE, which is a way for unprivileged programs in userspace to interact with the vfs, to mount their own filesystems. This is cool as fuck because it lets you use your filesystem to interact with pretty much anything.

So for example there is a FUSE filesystem called ytfs that lets you "mount" youtube. You make a directory and then ytfs searches youtube for [whatever the directory name is] and the results are all displayed as video files. This lets you do "mkdir poop; vlc poop.mp4" to search youtube for "poop" and play the video titled "poop", all without opening a web browser.

So in that example it'd be

VLC VFS FUSE ytfs script youtube.com

This demonstrates why FUSE & the VFS is fucking awesome. VLC has no goddamn idea that it's playing a video from youtube, all it knows is that it's playing a video called "poop.mp4". As far as VLC is concerned, poop.mp4 is just another file on your system. It opens the file in exactly the same way as it does if the file is stored on the local disk. Basically abstraction is cool

oh and as for gvfs I don't really know what it is and the wikipedia page doesn't help. I kinda wanna say that it's a collection of modules a bit like ytfs that "plug into" the vfs just like ytfs does, so for example you could "mount" files on an ftp server onto the vfs and local programs could interact with the files just like if they were stored locally. That being said, I haven't researched gvfs much so I don't know how true that is

Do NOT add the current directory to your PATH. There is a reason that it is intentionally not in your PATH, like it is in Windows. It is a security vulnerability.

Imagine if the current directory was at the start of your PATH, so the current directory gets searched first for programs to execute. I remember reading somewhere about an attack where a user would create a script named "ls" in their home directory which did any malicious thing, and then they'd contact the sysadmin and say "there's a weird file in my home directory I can't delete, please help". sysadmin would cd to the user's home directory (as root), run "ls" to list the files, and run the malicious script without knowing.

If the current directory is instead at the end of your PATH it is a little more difficult to get someone to execute a script without knowing, but still possible. The script would instead need to be named "sl", relying on the admin fat-fingering the command and mistyping.

Keeping the current directory out of your PATH means when you execute a program without specifying an absolute location (i.e. name_of_program instead of ./name_of_program), your PATH only contains directories which need privileges to write to and therefore should not contain any malicious programs.

that being said, if you still want to add your current directory to your path then export PATH=$PATH:.

Thank you for writing out this answer user, it's very helpful!

I meant to try install flash with winetricks. The flash player package for your distribution has nothing to do with wine stuff.

I need to install AspenPlus for a college course.
However, the installation wizard asks me for Microsoft sharepoint 2010 and the internet information service 6.
Is it mandatory to install them or is there any way to circumvent that?

are you serious? why would you say that?

NO!

According to the screenshot, there is no way around installing it if user wants to get that software running.


Actually, I just looked up your software and I see that it has a online version available. Why not grab the .swf from the website and run it natively on the linux version of flash?

Not the guy you're replying to, but...

flash is a horrendously insecure piece of shit. If you absolutely must run it, you might as well run it within wine. That way, when it fucks up, only your wine prefix will get ransomwared rather than your home directory and/or any other user-writeable directories

to clarify , please nobody think that wine will sandbox flash and gives you any kind of proper security. It is still possible for flash to fuck with your Linux stuff, but because it's an extra layer of effort then it means your average pajeet-created shitware probably won't. Basically security by obscurity is better than no security at all

How do I do that?


The .swf from the site isn't the same as their "desktop version".

What program can I use on Linux to run pic related?

I know; It's a horrible piece of software that barely works. But as said, it really doesn't help much with security.


Install winetricks through your package manager then do something like
$ winetricks flash

It's happening.

Gently pointing at the question so it doesn't disappear in the darkness

Hey everyone. I'm trying to set up a public livestream on a VPS of mine with nginx. On my home server, I'm running
ffmpeg -i ksp1.mp4 -f mp4 rtmp:///**[IP Redacted]**:1935

with nginx configured with
rtmp { server { listen 1935; chunk_size 4096; allow all; application live { live on; record off; } }}

If I understand the process correctly, this should allow anyone accessing [IP address]:1935 to see the video stream coming from ffmpeg, right? Unfortunately, all I get when I run ffmpeg is Connection to tcp://:1935 failed (Connection refused), trying next address

What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried Owncloud/Nextcloud?

I don't really understand why you want to do it peer to peer. From what I heard from others, peer to peer is a fucking nightmare to manage. It would probably be most simple to get a old computer you don't care about, flatten the hard disk (or get a new one), and set up some kind of file server (ftp,ssh?) for computer access and Syncthing for your phone.

Nevermind, I'm a fucking retard that can't read.

Hello Holla Forums,

I feel like a fucking retard, but I need help installing drivers for the Intel Gigabit Integrated NIC.
I tried downloading a few packages (.deb) on my other computer, then put them on usb and on the pc mounting the usb and using dpkg to install the packages. but nothing is working.


www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005480.html

but issue:
# make install*** Kernel header files not in any of the expected locations.*** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.*** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again. Stop.

What package is it referring to?
I just need to get damn networking working.

MB: Gigabyte G1.Sniper b7
OS: Debian
Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64

Did you try this on the local machine? Do you have any software acting as a firewall? or anything with iptables? You should enable logging for now on that server block to see what's going on.

Is my GPU kill?
It's an HD7950

Wait I just realized how retarded this post is, here's a photo of the screen.

Not sure how you achieved that user.

While playing, my screen suddenly went black while the audio looped the last half a second. I rebooted and I couldn't go past "Starting Windows" without getting stuck in a black screen.
I ended up booting safe mode and this is what I found myself with...

If you happen to have Google Chrome installed (which I don't recommend), you can use that. If you want to keep everything nicely FOSS, you can use Gnash, but it won't work for Flash files more complicated than simple animation. You can also install Chromium with the pepperflash plugin. How to do that depends on your distro so look it up somewhere.

I somehow don't think I'm using classes correctly.

Where do I download torrents now?

Right, that was it. I'm an idiot.
It works flawlessly now, thanks.


Are you sure torrentz.eu is down? Sure they haven't moved elseware?
I only know of rutracker.org but it requires javascript. There's also the piratebay onion. ( uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion )
Use only the parts of the magnet you need if you're worried it's a honeypot.
Of the top of my head I remember bitsnoop, torrentreactor, torrentproject.se

And there's always i2p.

The output of generate is also deterministic, look up how PRNGs work.

I've never been able to install anything because this always comes up. Whenever I type in "sudo apt-get -f install" like it suggests, it then wants to delete a bunch of shit, telling me that what I'm about to do is harmful.

Anyone have a solution to this? I'm using Trisquel.

I want to put these batteries in series to have the same voltage but double the capacity.

Can I patch the cables together or would it be better to put one of the pairs of cable directly to the terminals to the other?

Hexchat seems to depend on a newer libc, but libreoffice and all kinds of important crap depend on an older version, as far as I can read the output. Try "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade", maybe it works after that.

It's called linux-headers-$KERNEL_VERSION-something in debian and derivatives. Install everything from the linux-headers-3.16.0-4-all-amd64 meta package and it should work.

It didn't work, but thanks. I went into the synaptic package manager and it told me that I had 3 broken packages. Upon clicking "fix broken packages", these were the changes that were to be applied, the same operation labeled dangerous as before. Would it be better to just delete these broken packages rather than trying to fix them?

This issue has been around ever since I tried to install the latest version of kdenlive myself since the repository only had the old version from years ago.

Did you add a repository to apt sources when installing the newer kdenlive?

I tried installing it by source instead since trisquel is based on a really old version of Ubuntu, but the repositories are for newer versions of Ubuntu. I didn't think it would work, so I didn't try it. Whenever I would get some error about dependencies, I would just try to install that missing dependency when suddenly something broke.

kdenlive.org/download-ubuntu

Do you know how to apply the "broken" filter in the synaptic package manager as shown in ?

I think the broken packages are libc-bin, libc-l10n, and libc6. I don't think that they are important for anything, maybe I'll just get rid of them. It's "sudo apt-get remove package_name", correct?

If you remove libc you'll break the entire system. libc6 is the newer one, so that's probably the thing you installed when trying to compile kdenlive. What depends on it (apt-cache rdepends libc6)?

Scratch that, libc-bin is libc6 utils and libc6 is libc6.

It seems that these packages are vital. As shown in the previous screenshots like the first one in it seems that the system wants to install a newer version of these packages, but when "sudo apt-get install -f" is run, it actually wants to delete said package to be upgraded as shown in the second screenshot of that post.

So i'm trying to program an image downloader for the chans... in C.
Is this a retarded idea? Can it be done?

sorry to burst your bubble, but i use plugins for that, there's really no point in writing such a program.

It can be done, but it is somewhat retarded. I use this:
#!/bin/shexec wget -e robots=off -r -nd -nc -I '*/src' -R '*.html' -H -- "$@"

I want to do it as an exercise actually, to learn about networking.
But if it is really that retarded, then I will reconsider it.

I need to install pirated Windows 7 on an old laptop of mine, however, I don't have any disks or usb-drives to put it on.

I know that you can install Linux over networks and by making partitions just for it provided you don't have a usb-drive or disk, but does the same apply for Windows? and is there any way I can go about doing this?

it's for my mother. it's already running linux mint but i can't get the drivers for the wifi card working.

Anyone know how to migrate all of my data from one HDD to the Other in windows?
I know there are tutorials but each one wants me to download some malware to complete the task.

It's fine as an exercise. Exercises don't need useful results.

I think it's the shitty site software. My workaround is to save the files to tmp if I can't seek while streaming.


Blame your peers in the swarm. Your download speeds are determined by their upload speeds. Usually only files with a lot of seeders will get consistently good speeds.


I have MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware on my Windows partition. I rarely use them as I'm not retarded enough to download file.mp3.exe or allow ads in my browser. I really just scan some files I download that might be suspicious, but nothing ever comes up.
I use them maybe once every few months. Probably less since I use Linux most of the time now.


You have to use Gnash or the Pepperflash plugin. The latter comes with Chrome, but can be installed separately as well. (You're on your own to install it.)

not that i know of user, i think the easiest way out of this issue is simply running to your nearest hardware store and picking up some cd's

What's wrong with just copying it?

So why does the 320 kbps mp3 cut off part of the song, while the 276 kbps mp3 leaves more on top? I can tell both mp3s compress data compared to the flac, but why do they compress differently? I don't have very good headphones right now, so I can't really tell the difference in a blind test.

Because in your 320CBR preset there's a low pass filter somewhere and in your VBR preset there isn't.
There's probably a low pass filter in the CBR preset to avoid situations where compressing a chunk would require so much more than 320Kb/s that it would cause audible artifacts.

i have in the past with a fairly old msi motherboard and never experienced any issues whatsoever

My printer isn't responding when I want to print a document. I have an HP Photosmart c4280 (I downloaded the drivers from HP's site) and I've recently changed my OS to W7x64. The system recognizes the printer as plugged in and working, but when I want to print a document/PDF/Picture nothing happens after clicking Print.

My Mint machine asked me if I wanted to disable secure boot when I updated it. Do I? Will it fuck up my drivers or is it just microcuck bloat?

So I'm pulling apart my desktop to diagnose a dead PSU, and I pull out my brand new ZOTAC 1070 to make the case a little easier to work with. I'm just about to set it aside, when I notice some janky discoloration on this one particular heat pipe. After further examination, some of it even has a burnt texture. The entire rest of the card is fine, though. Should I be worried, or is this just unsightly manufacturing error?

Disabling it should be fine.

There is ways to so I belive but it is likely way more pain then it is worth. I agree with , DVD boot is way more reliable even if is it a bit slow compared to thumb drives.

If your Mint OS uses UEFI to boot it could be a problem. Otherwise

What is the default printer set to? Have you rebooted to ensure that the driver is installed?

As an aside, it might be a good idea to upgrade from Oct 5th 2010.

Could you elaborate a bit here? How is it a problem and how do I check if I'm using UEFI? Would it be better to use GRUB? Could I switch?

In the (at least some desktop) BIOS`s there is usually a option to pick between legacy and BIOS (which one is first or which one is active). If the method that Mint uses to boot is disabled, it won't be able to boot.

Is there a way to show a command's output on lxpanel, like xfce4-panel's "Generic Monitor"? xfce4-panel unfortunately doesn't play nice with my autistic window manager.

Default printer is set to what's supposed to be (the HP one), and I have rebooted the PC. Again, the PC says the driver is installed, and the software bundled with it (HP Digital Imaging Monitor) says so too; Making copies from the printer and printing the pages for calibration and whatnot work, but for some reason the printer doesn't receive the commands to print when I want to print any document.

The problem's fixed but my problem was:
It wouldn't start copying when I tried to copy it
and also when I finally got to copy it I couldn't boot into the partition on that HDD
But I fixed it

I'm trying to benchmark my CPU to make sure that everything's performing as it should, but no matter what benchmark I use, I seem to get between 5-15% the scores that other people get for the same CPU.
I'm using a 6600k at stock.
For example, using passmark to bench my CPU, I get a score of around 6900-7200 (7200 was the max I got).
Meanwhile, look at the average score others get:
cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel Core i5-6600K @ 3.50GHz
What's going on here? Did I lose the silicon lottery? Should I ask for a refund? What can I try?

How do i take Linux Mint, and put it onto my computer (not the USB).
I want to be able to boot Linux Mint WITHOUT a USB.
HELP!

found your problem

it was my only option

Did you go through the setup procedure properly? Also you may want to check if it's trying to boot uEFI or Legacy. I always boot Legacy.

What are some Holla Forums approved linux distros?

Suddenly everything works perfectly. I don't even know how.

I've been wanting to root my Android phone for a while now, but am wary on Kingroot. Is it legit, or is it some Chinese garbage that monitors your device?

I tried kingroot on an LG F3 phone a while back (maybe 2014) - it didn't work well at all. Your mileage may vary.

How do you bypass the halfchan rangeban without buying VPN? I need to make some quality threads.

No distros are liked by everyone. If you're a beginner I recommend Linux Mint.

Free VPN, lel. Though I wouldn't trust them to keep my privacy in check tbh.

I`l decided to go with one lower TDP one. Also my other question was answered some where else .

Good luck trying to save someone at the bottom of the sea.

is there any book about programming with lots of practical exercises and examples?
im trying to write at least one code a day, but its harder thinking WHAT i should code than code itself

here's some programming challenges. I think most beginner-level textbooks have lots of examples and stuff in them.

question is, where to find one? The ones in google are all broken in some way.

Ordinary HA proxies, if they aren't all banned already.

Halfchan is pretty botnet tier tbh.

Qubes if you don't care about systemd and aesthetics.
I have heard good things about Alpine. Debian and CentOS are universally respected and sort of the mainstream. Fedora is like debian, but bleeding edge.
Arch if you want (slightly less) bleeding edge, big repos, try to do things from scratch but also have a lot of support and a big community, Gentoo if the same but also have time and/or hardware powerful enough to compile your packages.

Void and funtoo if you hate or are suspicious of systemd and are willing to do things from scratch, maybe even give LFS a go.
Otherwise devuan.

The FSF's site has a list of approved distros.

OpenBSD might also be of interest. FreeBSD has a linux compatibility layer.

Do your own research. And test whatever you plan on using in a VM before going bare metal.

Worth noting that they don't include Debian in their list even though it is 100% free software by default. Their logic is that Debian also has non-free repositories even though you have to manually enable them to use them. If you choose not to enable the non-free repos though, Debian is 100% free and (should be) FSF-approved

Debian is much more versatile than Fedora. It has release channels that are even more bleeding edge than Fedora.


Debian without proprietary packages is FSF-approved, but the distro/project as a whole isn't endorsed. They don't mind if you run Debian with just the main repo but they can't safely recommend it to absolutely everyone.

The company that made my sound card
DIED
before Windows 10 was ever released.
It's an Auzentech X-Plosion 7.1
What the fuck do I do for drivers?

It does Dolby Digital Live and DTS which my onboard does not support.

found your problem

Just install the Win 7 drivers, or just install Win 7.

Well, the Debian website also explains how to enable that repo. That's basically like teaching your kids how to smoke. A free distro shouldn't do this.

Look, I'm a Linux snob too, but do you really expect niche hardware like this to work better on Linux?

Right, because freedom is the most important thing about software... except when it comes to the freedom to run proprietary software, you shouldn't be allowed to do that.


In your case, yes. Community-maintained drivers that half-work on Linux vs no drivers whatsoever on Windows, unless you can get the Win 7 drivers to work like suggested

"building" a gaming pc, no OS or software yet, what should i put in it?
I thought of doing a partition win10 for gaming and debian for everything else, thing is it would be annoying to have to switch to one or the other just for that, so i don't know, i don't frequent Holla Forums so i'm open to any advice.

You can install Linux and then install Windows within a VM, then use GPU passthrough. Lets you game in the Windows VM with 95%+ performance of installing Windows natively

You can do a GPU passthrough like said, but I heard it's hard to set up. You can also do as much of your gaming as possible on Debian.

Sounds interesting, any "guide" on how to do that? first time hearing about that, but i'm willing to learn.
Yeah i'll try to saty mostly on linux, but you can only get so far there.

A word of warning: it does seem like a bit of an involved process. If you're not willing to troubleshoot, I'd just stick with dual booting

These links came up after a quick google search, I don't know if there's any one recommended guide though
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF
wiki.debian.org/VGAPassthrough
reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3lno0t/gpu_passthrough_revisited_an_updated_guide_on_how/
reddit.com/r/VFIO/wiki/index

thanks!
i'm studying using a book called the bible of C and C++ or something like that and they don't have enough exercises, its all theory and examples

Honestly that seems too advanced for me, also it seem the gpu would only work on the vm, or that's what i understand, something that wouldn't be ideal either.
Guess i'll try dual booting first, thanks anyway

what are some good alternatives for wine outside of crossover?

Hello Tech, I just buy a new Voltage regulator, I used it on my PC, you see I have a curiosity.

Once I stop using the PC, should I turn it off or keep it on? it's a little dumb question, but I don't want to have dificulties in the future regarding this

That sounds paradox. You're not free when you're a slave of a program which restricts all your freedoms. Freedom is absense of being under control.

Can't you apply that to almost everything else?

None of the FSF-endorsed distros stop you from running proprietary software, they just don't offer you any.

I need some help fixing >windows aero.
I recently moved and when I got to my new place aero suddenly wasn't working, I've tried running the troubleshooter, messing with desktop service manager thing, updating graphics card driver, and refreshing my windows experience score but nothing seems to be working.
any help would be appreciated

Encrypted VNC, free.

I've set up a postfix/dovecot email server and I'm able to send emails but not receive them - I'm on comcast and they block port 25 but I have changed relayhost to relayhost = [smtp.comcast.net]:587

I think that the main problem may be the MX record because I'm unsure as how to set that up (on name.com). I have the [email protected]/* */ record point to mail.example.com and mail.example.com to the IP address as an A record. Any help would be nice.

For complentness sake there is also a thread up about this

PlayOnLinux however both are at their core just front ends for wine with muli version support.

Just like a car there is alot of energy that is used when starting up, I belive. This could potentially reduce the lifespan of all components. It could be useful from a useability perspective as the machine is already on. Also it ia very likely that the system will go into sleep mode/lower power states which should help reduce power draw. On the other hand, fan`s may get on your nerves after a little while and your OS may expirence a memory leak.

Is there anything like the AUR for other distros?

Gentoo has overlays which are kinda like the AUR but less centralised

You mean you physically moved house and that somehow caused aero to stop working? You didn't change anything on your computer, you just moved it to a new location?

yup, when I got to my new place and set up my pc aero wasn't working, I had my internet hooked up today and I figured it was a problem with a driver or something so I updated my gpu driver and it still won't work.
I also get really bad screen tearing on my portrait monitors now when scrolling from what I read it's because of aero.
the only thing I changed about my pc was how my monitors are plugged in.

Where can I see the board logs?

Slackware has slackbuilds.org,
Void accepts any package in the main repos as long as it complies with their quality standards.


Gentoo overlays is more like ubuntu/debian's PPAs. Just separate repositories, not a centralized repository everyone can contribute to.

8ch.net/log.php?board=tech
For future reference, there's a link in the sticky here 8ch.net/tech/res/589254.html


But there is a central repository, kinda overlays.gentoo.org/

That sounds like it could be it. Did you plug your monitors into your integrated GPU instead of your discrete graphics card (if you have one)?

nah they're all plugged into my 760 all I did was change input method for some of them, I'll try making them plugged in the same way they were before.

JUST
pls help

So ncmpcpp is being a little shit. Basically, both my mpd.conf and ncmpcpp config check out, mpd is running, but I get pick related when I run ncmpcpp. If I try to update my music, it will then flash "No active MPD connection". I'm at a loss, this is the third time I've set up ncmpcpp+mpd and I've never had an error as vague as this.

So, I should turn it off each time I stop using my PC to prevent problems?

I've been using an fx 6300 and an evo 212 in my system for almost 2 years now, and I just noticed how fucking hot it's getting.
According to hwmonitor and speccy it's idling at >60 degrees and rises to over 70 degrees when gaming.
I've reapplied the thermal paste a couple of days ago, but it's still getting these ridiculous temps.
Anybody have any ideas on lowering these temps? Should I get some different thermal paste or is it the cpu/cooler that's the problem?

I am suggesting the opposite really. If it is rebooted every single time then the life span of the components will slightly be reduced. However keeping it on for long time peroids may lead to software issues. It would be a good idea to reboot every couple of days at a minium.

Do you have any other case fans? Are you using the stock CPU cooler fan? What case do you use? I`l check my temps for comparsion, I run a 8230 at 4.5GHZ and a Hyper 120 evo (the one that is really popular) with one exhaust. My case is a Define R4 and I have: Two 140 intakes on the front and two 120 exhausts in the top. The fan slot closet to the GPU is left open.

Thermal pastes don't differ much, like 1C unless you use the terrifying shit that bonds to metal (don't). If it used to work, check that the fan can still get up to full RPM and dust the heatsink.

What do you use as the second front fan? I have an R5 and trying to decide.

The R4 came with two white 140 Silent Series R2 fans. I though I had lost one but managed to find it. I think the loudest component on my case is the GPU, or it could be the non stock CPU cooler fan, finally the two top fans.

To be clearer, I am using the two R2 case fans that came with my case.

well are you sure this isn't just normal for an FX 6300? these cpus are notorious for their temps.

I was finally was able to find it. Mate isn't "pretty" but it does the job just fine.
It's seems to have become corrupted, I'l go and check my other drives in the hope that I have an other copy of it. I am pretty shure it was posted in a couple of Holla Forums webm threads. In that case I should be easy as to find it easily once I can find out which threads those are.

Is there a reason you're not installing it from your distro's repositories?

How do proxies work and where can I get one.

searx.me/?q=How do proxies work and where can I get one.

Hello Holla Forums I am looking to upgrade my processor from a Intel Celeron E3400 2.6 GHz to something faster. Now, I know that the socket type must be LGA 775 because that is the only socket this processor supports. Is it possible to just slap a Intel Core 2 Quad into it and everything will work just fine? Or is it more complicated than that?

My parents asked me to install some stuff on their new pc, what free antivirus should I get?
They are learning to use Common Sense 2016 edition but you never know

Bitdefender is probably the best free antivirus.

I'm trying Debian for the first time and have two issues with network-manager, if Holla Forums is able to help.

1. Whenever I reboot, the console screen tells me "A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interface" for between one and three minutes, which seems like way longer than necessary. My /etc/network/interfaces file is set up to automatically connect to the network, so I presume it's reading that file. But then once I'm in, I'm not even connected, and clicking nm-applet tells me "device not ready" for wlan0. If I simply bring wlan0 down and restart network-manager it connects in seconds. I'm assuming /etc/network/interfaces is clashing with network-manager somehow?

2. Now I'm trying to connect to my vpn, and again it works fine from the terminal, simply with # openvpn /etc/openvpn/config.ovpn but if I point network-manager's "import a saved configuration" at the same file, the window just disappears without an error message or anything. What gives?

Help on either of those would be good, sorry for the long post but NM is driving me a bit nuts (is it just a shitty piece of software?)

is it me or does archive.is not werk anymore? other sites work but archive.is does not seem to load

I'm looking for an archive of this thread

Yes, I tried re-installing cairo.

by any chance are you running Cairo Dock / Plank?

No, and the same problem happens when it is installed from debian's repos.

Probably yes, but check your motherboards manual beforehand


may work, ghetto fix
# ln -s /usr/lib/libcairo.so /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2


cairo is a 2d drawing library

is it worth buying a cpu cooler to replace the stock one? are they really any quieter or is it negligible?

You can use this if archive.is is not working:
archive.org/web/

But right now archive.is is working fine, it's just you:
archive.is/WEawv

When you install it from Debian's repos can you make sure that you're not still running the version in /opt?

stock fans are always louder and less efficient

they are designed to draw down the lifespan of your CPU

I mean I got a voltage regulator kinda like this, you would get the Idea.

So, I could keep it on all time and turn it off at least once every two days liek you are saying?

Should I install Mint or Ubuntu on my thinkpad? I want to learn a linux distro so I can stop using windows so I'll put one on my thinkpad to learn the ins and outs. Which one is better for a complete newbie that will also help me learn.

Mint is based on Ubuntu, so they're mostly the same under the hood. Use whichever one has the nicer interface

ublock origin + hosts file adblock

It is because you are running a very very old kernel (3.16).

Yes that it what I was trying to say. The two days is just a suggestion though.

Just got a new laptop cause the old one is finally dying on me.

Sadly it didn't come with windows 8 but came with windows 10, don't have a windows 7 or 8 install disk, don't wanna go with linux or any other operating system.

Any help in what steps I need to take to kill the spying, or any programs online that you can recommend to kill it. I don't want Bill Gates looking at my private files and folders.

So what?
That probably means that the CPU likely a skydake or how ever that is spelt. So Windows 7 is not supported in the drivers. If it is anything else besides a skydake, then Windows 7 should work. In that case,

Bill Gates hasn't been apart of Microsoft since around 2009.

My case is a Bitfenix Comrade (Really shitty case tbqh). I only have one exhaust fan at the back with the stock 212 fan on the heat sink.
The only places on the case to put more fans are two spots at the front where there's a dust filter. Will adding a fan or two there help that much with temps?
My mobo is a gigabyte ga 970a ud3p and only has 2 system fan connectors, one is being used for the back, so i'd only be able to add one more case fan.

Mint XFCE

I haven't tested this theory. I`l test it when I can. The two top exausts are probably having more of a benefit.

But it said I was running kernel 4.4 which is the same as Ubuntu 16.04. ?

why is transmission able to download without me having to create a new rule for it in ufw? it's just on the default deny-incoming allow-outgoing setting, and when I test the port in transmission's preferences window, it tells me the port's closed. But it still downloads anyway, so what's going on?

The Kernel contains the freedom drivers. The non free drivers are likely tied to a older kernel.

Keepass2 if on Windows, KeepassX if on GNU/Linux.

For the same reason you can browse the web even if you have ports 80 and 443 incoming blocked. You're establishing a bidirectional connection from inside the firewall, and data is returning over that connection. It's not unsolicited.

Would I have to upgrade the kernel after I install Linux Mint 18 to get the Radeon 480 driver to work?
I also tried the 14.04 driver with no luck.

I now know that you are talking about the non free driver. So the answer is possibly, I don't use the non free driver so I don't know what kernel`s are supported.

GNU+Linux masterrace, thank you sir

Yes, I am using the non-free driver. It works perfectly on Ubuntu 16.04 but does not on Linux Mint 18 which is based on 16.04. Very frustrating.

The last question, the thing you were saying about damaging the components for turning on and off the voltage regulator, are the stuff in the PC or in the regulator.

I'm just making this questions because the previous one I have didn't caused much problem, this one that is new emit a constant buzzing and in a night with a lot of silent doesn't let me sleep well.

I accidentally formatted one of my hard drives. I stopped the process after literally one second after I realized what I did, but I can't mount the hard drive anymore (unknown filesystem). What do? I assume I should use some kind of data recovery software, what are some good choices?

Backups. But you told literally nothing helpful, what filesystem?

I was talking about the components in the computer.

I would recommend testdisk.

Okay, so I'm making a little searchable "database" full of names that come up when a user types something in. Displayed results will be based off the name, added tags, and other information. It needs to be something that can be embedded, or at least accessed, in a standard web browser.

I'd just like opinions on what you think the best language for this is so I know how much time to set aside for the project, depending on whether I have to learn a new langue or not (which is mostly a non-issue).

where would i find people who want to program something with me?

not looking for a service like github, i just want to skype/chat with someone and work on the same project at the same time

I've tried searching but I can't find anything. I must just be misunderstanding something or there'd be other people also having this problem. Could someone please tell me what it is? I have no idea what to do.

You could try IRC.

im getting a bit paranoid that the gibment spies knows what i do online. what can i use to be secure?

First of all, the timer is actually 1 second or more ahead of the song.
Second of all, this only seems to be an issue for songs that are at the end of my playlist.
I actually am a bit confused about this, because I seem to remember the song not playing completely even if it wasn't, but whatever.
Finally, this is not specific to any audio format it seems, nor any specific song.

I might as well ask if I should go to the bugsite instead of asking here, since it doesn't seem to be a common issue?

Theyre named by when they show up. Wlan0 is the internal NIC, wlan1 is your usb. Thats how it works on my box anyway... now someone please help me with my grsec problem. I want to run apparmor plus grsec, but cant without compiling it myself.

I dunno what I'm missing but I've deleted every single thunar file, folder, AND uninstalled it but the settings aren't clearing.

I accidentally formatted one of the HDDs on my RAID 0 array. Is there any hope of data recovery?

nope.

Assuming you don't mind using the browser itself: I use DownloadHelper on FF, but then my browser is tweaked to hell and back so it barely resembles the original, so the add-on works for me even if it doesn't normally. Certain options add a "code" watermark, so it's just a case of picking the correct download option to get the normal vid. Maybe see if it works for you?

Tox. If you want something that looks like Skype, qTox is visual while still minimalistic. Antox for phones.


It's been a long while since I've tried this. I know you have to be connected to the Tor Network to do it, and switch over browser options to use SOCKS5 and the appropriate port. But then I've only done it for winfags, not Android. Which browser are you trying to make use Tor?

what happened to tox anyway? is it being developed?


anything but firefox, for some reason its shit on my phone.

i was able to run uc browser with orbot, apperently, but i found out about orWall.
Is orWall any good? is it better to use orbot alone or orwall+orbot?

So is anyone going to cleanup/update the "installgentoo" wiki or what?

Which parts are outdated?

Yes I recived a toxcore update very recently (earlier today).

* Android recommended apps and ricing
* Recommended Mice, Keyboards, etc
I think there are a couple few more I'm forgetting.

I'm looking to upgrade my main computer but want to put the old CPU and motherboard to good use. Is it possible to use the same computer as a streaming / backup server and media center at the same time? It's an AMD Phenom 2 Black Edition I bought in a clearance sale 6 years ago.

if i use tor alone without https am i still secure? what would be my risk for not using https?


is tox better than retroshare?

also whats the difference betwwing im and irc?

is whatsapp safe to use? it says it has endtoend encryption but i dont buy it.

To answer questions as one. Secure from being IP traced immedately yes. From having your session taken over or the page modefied no, as the exit node is at the end of the day just a normal server. Which means that it doesn't perform any encryption, leaving it up to the website in question to do. If it isn't encrypted, it is way easier for your session/account to taken over due to your login details being passed in plain text (not many websites are this badly designed though). Also it becomes trivaly easy to edit the page you are on.
It really depends on your use case at the end of the day.
Tox seems to be focusing more on being a Skype alterantive, so a focus on a group setting.
While retroshare, seems to be more focused on being a modern take on a one to many setup. Also it has support for rooms rather than groups.
Rather than try to explain what I really don't know much about, I quote some one who can.
"IRC (internet relay chat) is how people communicate via chat rooms. If you log onto an IRC server, you can join different chat rooms and talk to people without needing to know who they are or what their IM addresses are. Our Live Chat on this site is an example of IRC. If you were to join our chat room, there would be a list of people that are logged in, and there might be a conversation going on. You could join in on the existing conversation, or ask a question, or even just say "hi" and see if you get a response. IM, or instant messaging, is really more like a phone call - you're typically talking to just one person in an IM window (unless you conference several together), and you need to have a specific address in order to contact someone. I use both IRC and IM. In IRC, I join a number of chat rooms, or channels, that are dedicated to providing computer support, as well as some that were created just for the purposes of friendship. Once in the room, I can talk to anyone else that's there. I also use IM as a means of talking to specific people, especially when I haven't joined any chatrooms. " - archive.is/I6v7B, the sites Admin.

Let's owned by Facebook, who can totally be trusted to delete stuff right. Also the overall application it's self it is none free software so, that makes me trust it even less.
However "In November 2014, WhatsApp announced that it was using the same encryption as Signal in the Android version of the chat app. Over the next two years, the company worked to roll out strong encryption to iOS and other mobile platforms and to expand the data protected to group chats, voice calls, and media attachments." - archive.is/KRJDX , so that is a small glimer of hope

That said
"WhatsApp has had a history of security problems, and the development team has demonstrated repeatedly that they could not care less, so this app might never be secure. Here's more info, if you are interested:

mathyvanhoef.com/2012/05/whatsapp-considered-insecure.html

businessinsider.com/whatsapp-security-flaws-2012-9" - Denizen, alternativeto.net/software/whatsapp/comments/

Depends on your use-case.
Tox aims to just be a Skype alternative. You can call friends, send them messages, and even share files directly. (However, offline messaging is currently not possible due to its p2p design.) That's it. It also supports Tor if you want to add random anons but not give out your IP in doing so.
RetroShare, on the other hand, aims to be its own file-sharing and social network. It has forums, IRC-like chatrooms, its own file-sharing system with search and channels (basically walls people can post links to files within the RetroShare network). RetroShare is nice for sharing files due to it supporting i2p and Tor making the connections more anonymous. (That also means you should expect slow transfer speeds.) However, it's limited to the network you're part of.
Since they're not really aiming to achieve the same goal, there's no problem in using them side by side. (I use RetroShare mostly for file-sharing, and Tox for IM.)

Yes

So I went full retard and bought a phone thanks to my good friend alcohol without doing prior research. I got an LG Stylus 2.

Is these phone rootable? Did I goof up on buying it?

Did you try googling it?

I'm having trouble with my code in Python. I've tried googling it and I think I've figured out what the issue is.

def getLua(filePath): fileList = os.listdir(filePath) luaList = [] for i in range(len(fileList)): if isLua(fileList[i]): luaList.append(fileList[i]) print(fileList,luaList)

Basically, this code right here throws me an error when I put in the string "D:\test" (OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'D:\test')

If I were to just straight put it in, not as a function, but just straight up

fileList = os.listdir(r'D:\test')luaList = []for i in range(len(fileList)): if isLua(fileList[i]): luaList.append(fileList[i])print(fileList,luaList)

It works just fine.

The reason the top doesn't work is because \t is considered a tab. That's why I have to put r before the string in the lower code. However, there is no way I know of to put in r when I'm doing it as a function.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can implement it as a command to take arbitrary filepaths?

I have both an Allwinner A20 board and a BeagleBone Black. Which would make the better desktop replacement?

I'm leaning towards the BBB, so that I can use the Allwinner as a dedicated kodi box, since BBB sucks for video

did you buy new or used?

resell asap if used unless it's exactly what you want, maybe get refund?

Trying to keep modules decoupled. I have the one messenger module that all others depend on. Modules subscribe to events with callbacks that accept a message as a parameter. Problem is, if two modules need to share a resource between them, how should they do this without coupling them to their resource?

Best defragger?


I do, this is for my gaming PC which is separate.

My problem is solved. It appears i was just unlucky enough to try in the interim between new kernel release and grsec patch release.

The current security model is pretty decent. The problem is that you can't verify that it doesn't send unencrypted messages to Facebook when you aren't looking.

Is upgrading from Android 5 (Cyanogenmod 12) to Android 6 (Cyanogenmod 13) worth it if I don't use anything Google and have no interest in designating my external storage as internal storage? None of the major changes really appeal to me but maybe there are other improvements I could use.

doze.

The one released by the CC-Cleaner devlopers.

Nevermind found it in .

Hey guys I just installed newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126109 onto a Windows 7 SP1 gaming rig, and I'm having the weirdest problem.

As you can see by pic related, the device is installed properly and is recognized to be running directX 11. By all logic it should be working perfectly, and does outside of vidja.

However, when I try to play any video game with any graphics requirement above what a cell phone can run, it will tell me "no compatible graphics adapter found" or "this game requires a minimum of directX 10". Every single thing on my desktop ran perfectly with the gtx 550 I just replaced. I have derived from this that my gfx is in some way not recognizing the correct directX version and dxdiag is lying to me because Kikecrosoft botnet reeeee.

Can anyone help me figure out what to do about this? Reinstall device drivers? Reinstall directX? Something else?

I'm not sure if I can help you, but I did a little searching and came across this: forums.geforce.com/default/topic/538555/directx-11-and-ddi-9ex-error-solution-for-asus-cards/

The relevant part is this:

I'm not sure if this will help you, I don't have a modern video card, but hopefully this will shed some light onto things for you.

Okay so I solved the problem. The solution might be even weirder. Although I think this all may have been my fault.

When installing the drivers for the 1070 off of the CD that came with it, it gave me the usual list of "what botnet addons you want, nigga". I unchecked all of them but after starting the download I realized that there was a scroll wheel and that I had missed some offscreen. But there was no download cancel button, so I ejected the disk from the drive mid-download and restarted it.

So, what ended up being the solution, was just deleting my graphics drivers. Not reinstalling, just deleting. They were back up when I restarted my PC. I think what happened was, because of my mid-download ejectulation, I somehow installed 2 copies of the drivers and they were fucking with each other.

All is good now, wheee

/tinfoilhat/ tier question:
How good is Dropbox? Is it botnet tier?

How hard is it to make programs in C with a GUI?
Do I really need to learn C++ in order to make them?

It's botnet.

Take a look at Syncthing. It automatically synchronizes files between computers. Doesn't store them online, which is good for your privacy but can be inconvenient if your computers are never turned on at the same time.

I was pretty sure that it was botnet tier.
Now I have to convince people about changing from dropbox to something else...
I wish people gave a fuck about these things.

hang yourself fucking furfag

typical winfag scum

Yes I know about them but I'm not looking for an alternative to host my code, I'm looking to rebuild and add some features to it.

soo what linux thingy should I install? from what I've read so far Mint and ubuntu look like the best one.(first time linux/gnu). I am still planing on having a windows partition for vidya gaems

Is startpage.com compromised? If so, what anonymous browser does Holla Forums suggest?

Linux Mint is nice.


Startpage is not known to be compromised.

Startpage is a search engine, not a browser. As a search engine, Startpage is okay, but Searx is nice too and FOSS as a bonus.
searx.me/

kek, just woke up, I swear I am not that retarded all the time

>searx.me/

Right, heard about that one. Glad to hear its FOSS too. Going to set as homepage and default search and try it out. Thanks user.

I just went through some bullshit to enable the ability to reformat and allow installation of windows 7 on a windows 10 computer.

Model is HP 15-f233wm

I did a clean install of windows 7 home from disc. Now, I have no wifi access, no ethernet driver, and no USB drivers working. Can I do anything or was this bullshit built so dedicated for windows 10 that it's bricked without it?

And I'm open to installing a linux OS but I don't know if they would have drivers to make this fucking thing work, it seems like the computer was built specifically for win10fam.

Just try installing Linux Mint. If the driver support is hopeless you probably find out as soon as you boot the install image.

well the drivers should be on the official website. It'll probably work fine with Linux though. With Linux, it's pretty much a case of either it works or it doesn't. If you can boot up a Linux USB stick on the laptop and tool around in the environment, then it works. Easy to test. I recommend Manjaro or Ubuntu.

Drivers seem to be only for windows 10.

Actually I just got USB drivers working.

Thinking of switching to Debian, however, I'm aware of the SJW slow infiltration tha's been going on for a while now. Is it unwise to use Debian given the circumstances? if so what's a good alternative?

How do you expect it to affect you?

So now I have USB drivers, ethernet, and possibly internet. I'm checking windows update for drivers I don't have and since it's a fresh install of 7, I think I want at least service pack 1 for updates. Which KB###### updates were the ones that added windows 10 shit that I should avoid?

8ch.net/tech/w7tele.html
There could be more by now.

Thanks

Undo all the things from the first tutorial, then try xbindkeys again.

The issue with xbindkeys is when I type

xbindkeys -k it doesn't detect those mouse buttons. Same with controller which I will want to map later for sofa - no detection, in contrast to evtest.

Like I said, undo all the things from the first tutorial, then try xbindkeys again.

You probably followed the first tutorial in such a way that the button press gets intercepted and does the wrong thing, or a thing that fails.

Alright, will give it a go.

WHAT
THE
FUCK?

Are there some diagnostics that I can run for that?

Is there a bot for deleting the lolita spammer's advertisements? Can someone show me it and how it works?
I figured it was best to ask here since there is no fucking way to get information on something like /operate/ or /meta/

Yeah brah, I just had that yesterday on external HD on Mint.

It was in NTFS. Internet says it's some bad sector bullshit, fixable either by formatting or not at all. But wait for someone else more tech-tier to confirm.

Can you copy the files to your internal drive?

Linux support for NTFS is a bit shaky because it had to be reverse engineered. If you want to be able to use the drive with Windows consider formatting it as FAT32, if you don't need Windows compatibility you should format it as ext4.


There is, and I run it. It automatically handles global reports and new threads made in the top 100 of boards. Which board is having trouble?

You can find contact details on >>>/botmod/.

Just did this too user.

Oh cool. I run /fur/
I just checked and I think it's actually in the top 100 right now. So as long as people global report it'll be taken care of?

Why don't you just stay on /g/?

It doesn't automatically regenerate the list, so your board wasn't on there. I just refreshed it. It should be better from now on.

background: im from a shitty country and im paranoid of my shitty gibment, so i want to be as secure as possible

can spies do this or only the website owner?

what would be better, for me to have https without to, or tor without https?

if you ask why not both, its because i still cannot make it work on my shitty phone. ive tried multiples browsers app but they all miss something


also take into account: my internet is also shit so tor already makes everything extra slower

Is there a way to force mpv to do yellow subtitles?

Thanks a bunch

Yes, like this:
github.com/Argon-/mpv-config/blob/master/mpv.conf#L72

There is also the convience rollup (All updates since SP1 was released to July(?) 2016. I have the perquisite file along with the main file.

domo

Yes, i can copy.


Yeah thanks, I need windows support since I dualboot and, you know, external harddrive.
I am not going to format a 2TB external harddrive which is 55% full and has alone 400GB of photos, videos, soundfiles and designs.
I think I'll work around it.
But then again, a large-scale purge would be something I desire. It has gathered a lot of clutter
Maybe I'll get some help from someone to transfer essential data for a while.

Then again, I do have a 500GB old external drive I dont use.
I wanted to use it for having a portable linux bootdrive, but it didn't work out.
Then I formatted it and now it doesnt show up when plugging in, neither on Linux nor Windows. Are there any diagnostics I can run in the terminal?

Does it show up in a partition manager like gparted?

Does it show up when you run "lsblk" in the terminal?

No, it does not show up
Yes, it shows up as
sde 8:64 0 465,8G 0 disk

Not even in the dropdown menu at the top right?

Try running "gparted /dev/sde".

Never used gparted before, yeah sorry, just found it
465,76GB unallocated goes in every field

I just added a new partition via Gparted. I think i can fit all data I want to be rescued on the 465 GB.
Problem: U have to copy from USB3 to USB2
Yay a night of copying over.

Thanks anyways.
I dunno if Holla Forums is 18+ so I'll just post this for you

has anyone here heard of the lattepanda single board computer/ system on chip?

Can I be ran without binary blob/proprietary software?

if not, does anyone know of any x86 64 architecture board that can?

There was an effort with a workstation board, with caveats:
libreboot.org/docs/hcl/kgpe-d16.html
I doubt any x86-64 "SoCs" will be totally free.

I need somewhere to host a mod, I don't really want to use ModDB, and I heard GitHub shouldn't be used. What should I use? I'm doing a mod for Darkest Hour.

I installed compton in Linux Mint XFCE and now xscreensaver doesn't work. I use the old shortcut and nothing happens. Anyone know a solution?

Is it normal for a 500GB USB2 drive to take more than 1 hour to format in FAT overwriting all existing data with 000s?

Yes, and might be MUCH longer

has anyone here heard of the lattepanda single board computer/ system on chip?

Can I be ran without binary blob/proprietary software?

something under a million dollars would be preferable

Can someone help me? I'm trying to use wget to grab manga from kissmanga but all I get are 503 errors.

I want to compile my own kernel with grsec because the one offered by debian repos is not compatible with apparmor. My question is how will this affect security updates to my kernel? Will i have to follow bug trackers to ssee if my kernel neess updates and recompile every time a vuln is found? Sorry for shitty writing im posting from a chinaphone

try to add a common user agent.

Lewds are ok but you have to spoiler them.

These are the only reasonably modern systems known to be able to run without a proprietary BIOS:
libreboot.org/docs/hcl/index.html#supported_list

for i in range(len(fileList)):
Please do not do that
for filename in filelist:
The entire thing could be written as:
lualist = [x for x in filelist if islua(x)]# orlualist = list(filter(islua, filelist))

If the function gets the correct input, it gives the correct output. It already works fine and takes any correct filepath. The r"" prefix is for raw string literals.
"D:\\test" == r"D:\test"
"D:\test" == r"D: test" # Holla Forums doesn't like tabs, so replaced actual tab with 8 spaces

I have another question about the fucking kernel verification process. The kernel is signed with key
FF992F6D

And not by the official stable release signing key as said on the official site. This key belongs to some random person I've never fucking heard of and it can't be used to even verify the fucking thing because "unknown digest algorithm"...

What the fuck is this shit? Why does everything have to be so motherfucking difficult.

I've tried downloading it several times now thinking it might be mitm or something.

Here's what actually happens when I try verifying the thing:

[email protected]/* */:~/Downloads$ gpg --verify linux-4.7.tar linux-4.7.tar.sign
gpg: Signature made Thu 09 Dec 1999 11:43:53 PM CET using RSA key ID FF992F6D
gpg: Note: signatures using the MD5 algorithm are rejected
gpg: Can't check signature: unknown digest algorithm

This seems fucking suspicious to me. According to the official site the stable release should be signed by Greg Kroah-Hartman.

Is SICP book really worth reading or it just some kind of joke meme?

Try importing his key first.

It's a joke meme, but not a bad book. It used to be the introductory programming course at MIT. Worth reading, and the digital edition is legally free.

Download the .sign again, linux kernel is signed by Linus (79BE3E4300411886). Also:
lol

so I installed MINT but I couldn't get it to detect my monitor even though I have drivers installed. My monitor is 1366*768 so I wasn't able to find the resolution and now there are black borders on my monitor.

The key is imported.


I have Linus' sig. I have downloaded both the kernel and the .sign about 5 times now. Try it yourself.

Actually it works now after re-downloading yet again. It now returns good sig from Linus.

wtf

Hey there, the guy here who needed to reformat his 2TB drive because NTFS under Linux is shit.
I absolutely need to dualboot.
Sadly, I just found out that large sized files and partitions are impossible to do under FAT32. And because many of the files are 4k recordings at 100mbit/s FAT32 has gone right out the window
SO now I have the choice of using ext4 and be unable to dualboot with all my data.
Or use NTFS and risk to have to do this again later on, when my small 500gb external drive will possibly be not enough anymore to transfer everything across safely?
or should I just get another External drive for my videos and pictures on ext4 (because I do all my processing on Linux) and all the other files like documents and shit on NTFS?

I used a workaround.

How fast can I expect this solution to break to shit again?

You can have multiple partitions on your drive.

as in freedom?

Yes, CC BY SA 4.0.

...

I can’t boot on a flash drive unless my motherboard is in CMS mode. Should I install Linux in BIOS or UEFI mode?

Anyone? Can i expect this to repeat itself, will it get worse or is this a one-off thing I sometimes need to take care of?
These are massive amounts of data that I need to secure. And currently, a RAID system or similar isn't an option

UDF

How's GitLab?

Github is not that bad. You can just host it on multiple sites - one repository on Github, and another repository on notabug.org/ that mirrors it.

What does that mean?

#1. I have an ASUS P7P55D-E PRO (LGA1156) that is capable of using 2200(OC), 1600, and 1333 mhz ddr3 RAM.

right now I have 4gb and plan to do a small upgrade up to 8gb.
would 1600mhz be a noticeable increase vs 1333mhz?

#2. I do not know if my motherboard is capable of having more than 8GB of ram, is it capable?

what exactly is a user agent?

are firewalls any good ? tor or firewall?


bump

Actually I think I got it. I have to add a user agent and cookies to get it to work. Could you please tell me how I would go about just grabbing pictures and only of a specific manga. I'm assuming if I go recursive it would just end up grabbing the whole site. I might be wrong though.

You can use Wikipedia for this.

I want a safe and free vpn android app that will filter all my internet connections.

Can the UDOO x86 board run without blob?

if you don't get hung up on any specific part just keep going it's the best

Hey user, got a question for you. The cheaper of the two Asus workstations is of interest. Is that board fully functional as a stand alone piece? As in, if I get a screen and power can I play games on it?

also, the briefness of that list seems to imply that boards like the beaglebone black cannot be librebooted.

I have heard that the bbb can run without binary blob though.

I guess what I'm asking is, what's difference in those two states? How can something run with no binary blob and not be able to be librebooted?

I have a Nexus 6P, what ROM should I flash it with? Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android? I need suggestions.

Also, kind of related, does anyone know what 6P stands for? 6 Premium?

I have cyanogenmod on my tablet. Works good but the most recent stable version for my tablet is from 2013 and is android 4.3 so I can't use some of the newer apps. I haven't tried the newer nightly builds so they might not be buggy or anything. Just something to consider.
Also doesn't the 6 mean its the 6th version of the nexus line?

Yes, but there are to 6(es), the normal 6 and the 6P.

I'm consider CM, but I've heard botnet things about it.

Oh its probably just some cheap naming convention that doesn't even have a meaning. Its just there to differentiate the models.

So I'm having (what I think is) a rendering issue on my new Funtoo installation. Basically, a lot of graphics related things are using my cpu instead of my gpu. For example, glxgears uses 60% percent of my cpu,, and running games through wine uses about 90%. This shouldn't be happening, on my old Gentoo install, my cpu usage never went above 3% and 30% for these tasks. Hell, I just now noticed that moving the quick reply box on this page spikes my cpu to at least 60%. According to glxinfo, direct rendering is enabled, so I don't know what the fuck is going on.

So I unfortunately neglected to do enough research on the differences in customer service between the different aftermarket GPU manufacturers, and now I'm stuck with an ASUS GPU.
The card works fine, it's passed all benchmarks and stress tests I've used so far, and the temperatures look just fine, but I'm terrified of having to send this GPU in for repair/replacement under warranty after seeing so many horror stories of how awful ASUS customer service is.
So, I wanted to ask:
1. How many of you are using ASUS hardware? Have you had any issues, whether that be with the hardware or the company?
2. Has anyone here had a graphics card randomly fail? Are the odds in my favor here that nothing will happen?
3. How can I try to ensure the longevity of this GPU? I have a very good power supply unit and my case has at least decent ventilation, so those shouldn't be issues.

Is there a guide on making a website and hosting a website easy? I just want to put up a website on one of of my computers showing off my work.

wats your GPU?

Use F-Droid to install Orbot (Tor for android) and for fucks sake NEVER use free VPNs, as they log and sell all of your information and some even (i.e. Hotspot Shield) will actually forward torrent take down letters to your isp.

I have an AVR (Pioneer VSX-523-K) and the specs for it do not tell me what kind of headphones it can drive. Is there any way to know whether it can drive 600 ohm headphones? Anyone have experience trying to use high impedance headphones with an AVR?

I'm in the UK and I use a Logitech C920 webcam for recording videos. Some times I get flickering and I hear this can be fixed by changing the voltage on the cam. The issue is the tutorial to fix it uses a Mac program and I can't find a similiar windows 7 one.

Can any one recommend me some Windows 7 webcam adjustment software? The default Logitech one doesn't have many options outside of picture quality.

Is tor-browser-hardened broken for anyone else? Doesn't launch for me when I start it anymore starting a few days ago. Tried reinstalling it but the same thing happens. (Arch Linux)

There's a good chance that you need blobs for decent graphics. I'm no expert. Try asking in #libreboot on Freenode, maybe.


Libreboot is a variant of Coreboot. It's a particular BIOS, not a generic name for FOSS BIOSes. Some of the BBB's software is proprietary, including the graphics stuff, so you have to remove those parts and use software rendering. Its equivalent of a BIOS doesn't have to be replaced.

Cyanogenmod has had a few shady things happen to it, but it's still much better than the stock ROM or Paranoid Android. If OmniROM is available for your device it might be better from a freedom/privacy perspective, otherwise Cyanogenmod is the best you're going to get.

wtf

aight, is the orbot transparent feature that covers all all apps any good?

and if i have this, do i still need a firewall? which one?

Most of the time apps don't natively support Orbot, so you need root for it to work. If you can't/won't root you could try the VPN mode Orbot offers, but it is experimental.

If you are rooted, the best firewall is hands down AfWall, if not NetGuard is ok and works most of the time, and unless you are planning on buying the NetGuard "pro" feature download it and any other apps off of F-Droid instead of Google Play.

It's a shitty intel chipset with Intel HD Graphics. Xorg reports no issues, and I have Mesa installed with DRI enabled in my kernel.

Tried using afwall but it says my phone doesn't support the init script. I still tried marking the apps but I don't get internet conextion at all. Even in the apps I marked. Idk why

My HDD may just have been bricked, or at least BIOS doesn't detect it.

I have a laptop running Mint on an encrypted partition occupying the whole HDD. I wasn't trying to install Gentoo, apply kernel updates or anything else with potential to wreck shit up last time I was using it, it had a proper shutdown. I had to take it somewhere (no physical damage involved, trust me on this one) and tried to boot it to see it has stopped detecting my HDD. I've already tried unplugging and restoring BIOS defaults, no results. It isn't bricked, as it listed CD/DVD drive and I could boot a live USB distro. df -h did not list my HDD either. I hope some user can /g/uide me on this one.

Thanks, I'll try OmniROM. Could I also ask some other suggestions? I'm wondering if I should install gapps (and if I do, which pack) and a custom kernel. I already installed TWRP. Anything else I should flash?

Install gapps if you really need them. It basically depends on how autistic you are. I don't have them, because my needs are filled by F-Droid, but it restricts you a lot.

I don't have any experience with custom Android kernels.

Which vim version should one use? It should at least syntax highlight, support code completion plugins and powerline (if that's even vim specific).

in other words should i just put 'vim' instead of neovim or some other 'modern' version of it?

Vim should be fine. Neovim is probably better and can do the things you ask for. You can also go the Spacemacs route if you want a really highly extensible editor with the same keybindings.

I recently got a new GPU (EVGA GTX 960), and ever since then I've had problems. First the computer crashed because the GPU's fan would never spin fast enough, I finally fixed that, but it just crashed again, so I opened up the case and felt the GPU and it was only warm, not hot.

I was playing a video game at the time of the crash. My only guess is that it's the PSU (newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016) but I'm not sure how to monitor the PSU. I'm using Linux Mint.

Does anyone else have any guesses as to why my computer is crashing? 500W should be enough, the GPU isn't hot, I have fucking no clue what could be the problem but it keeps crashing whenever I play muh vidya.

Kind of embarrassed to admit this but I think it'd help if I mentioned the game I was playing was Minecraft.

I'm new to all this bitcoin stuff, and I just sent a transaction to a wallet on another site from my MultiBit HD wallet. The transaction keeps saying Unconfirmed transaction! on blockchain.info. The site that has the wallet says it should take 45 minutes. It's been 2 hours.

What happened?

I installed Libreboot along with a whitelisted wifi chip afterward, and can't seem to get the wifi to work. It says "Wifi is disabled by hardware switch" so I suspected that maybe it's still blacklisted or some shit in the kernel, so I'm trying to access the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to fix it, but now I'm getting a permission denied despite it being there.

I'm fucking tech-illiterate and I really need this fixed quickly since I'm going to be homeless and probably won't have immediate access to an ethernet port.

Please help ;_;

Holla Forums, is there any reliable website to show me the location of certain IPs?

I'm seeing weird connections in my computer and I would like to know if I'm being monitored by the FBI or something like that.

Seconding this

Don't ye just fuckin google it and it comes out on the maps?

Install geoiplookup. In Debian it's packaged as geoip-bin.

I tried google and the one site that managed to say it found the IP also stated it was a private one.

Not mine btw.

Have you tried using sudo/root to edit the file?

I was thinking about coding a game for a class project that's due in 12 days.. It would be impossible to do so at this point as a guy with 0 knowledge about programming or any languages?

Alright, I need some help with custom themes in wangblows. I have no meaningful experience creating / editing themes, and I figure the ricemasters here can help me out. I currently use this theme 0x0.st/M-Z.7z (I would link to the original but it has long since disappeared) and I'd really like to get rid of the line on taskbar button as it looks pretty bad with vertical taskbar. It seems to me that the rest of the image is transparent for inactive windows, active windows are a bit different. I've tried digging around in resource hacker but as I'm unaware of how windows processes images for the taskbar I've come up with nothing. If anyone wants to tell me which values hold the right bitmaps that would be great.

Of course. Don't know what the fuck to do. It was an atheros wifi chip by the way, if that helps.

What's the best sort of anti virus and malware scanner software to try using?

So uh, from tiem to time my monitor does this .... and after rebooting it its fine but I was just wondering if this is an indicator of my monitor dying soon or if it was more likely a gfx card problem ? I thought maybe it might be a loose connection in a cable somewhere perhaps , would that cause such a thing? Pls help ;-;

I have a project due in 12 days, and I wanted to make a small math game for it.

The problem is, I don't know a damn thing about programming. Has my procrastination caught up to me, or is there still hope? It can be a very simple game...

Or maybe I can hack an open source template for one?

whats this for?

Calculus 1, we have to do a final project just before the final to produce ways for others to study. I can do a powerpoint, video lecture, etc but that sounds lame a shit

Well making a simple calculator would be easy. But making a calculator that can do calculus is probably too difficult.

actually now that it think about it, it might not be too difficult depending on what you want it to do. Derivatives and integrals wouldn't be too bad but beyond that might be annoying. Anyway the hardest part would be getting it to parse your input correctly. But then again 12 days and no programming experience might put a damper on this. I'd say just go with something you know how to do instead of this.

I have absolutely nothing to do from wednesday night to saturday morning though. I was thinking of making something like: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroids_(video_game)

where you shoot the asteroids by entering the correct derivative

or maybe something like "hunt the wompus"?

anyone have account to pudn.com or invite

well that's more work than a calculator. You would have to learn the api to a game engine or open gl or whatever you would use.

No, you're right. I need to be keeping it as simple as possible.

How hard would something like "hunt the wumpus" be versus a calculator?

What would go wrong if I just copied and pasted this: rosettacode.org/wiki/Hunt_The_Wumpus/C++

but replaced some of the dialogue with math problems? You know, instead of "shoot", you "solve" and you have to solve a problem.

Is that a text based game? Easier than asteroids but you if you would be solving problems and typing the answer into the computer you would still have the problem of figuring out how to parse the input like making sure the number after ^ is treated as an exponent, that x isn't mistaken for multiplication and so on. Bit harder than it sounds. Also your game would be kind of boring if it just repeated the same problems over and over.

Also you run the risk of looking like an idiot and a cheater when someone asks you something about the code and you have no idea. Guess you could just bluff if they don't know either.

It wouldn't be the same problems, if I can I'd try to make it fun like finding the surface area of bomb that's expanding and getting to explode.


It isn't a coding project, so I'm not too worried about that. I'm 99% sure it doesn't matter how you did it so long as it wasn't fully plagiarized and it does good for studying material.

Well if your randomly generating problems then that would add more complexity. Honestly if you really want to program something then just stick to a calculator then if you still have time left you can expand on that like having the calculator show you how it solved a problem rather than just solving it.

what language would you write this in?

I'm not planning on doing random problems, just a variety.


I'm probably not going to write it, I think instead I'm going to look for a Haskell clone of Hunt The Wumpus. Haskell since C++ would entail lots of work arounds with the math symbols.

I have a hdd that I plan to have dedicated to a windows vm. Should I just format the whole drive to NTFS?

In Blender's texture paint interface, how does one select a brush? Specifically, I would like to paint with a hard edge.

If you want.

Does anybody have that list of printers that dont have a unique "finger-print" on everything they print?

Would it be better to use something like ext4or would it not matter since I'm only using it for windows?

I'm hoping to find a haskell or something similar so that isn't as much of the problem

bump

Why does audio on linux suck so much shit? Every time something gets 'too loud' software-side it crackles up into a horrible mess that I can only describe as the audio version of a low-res jpeg.

If I lower the master volume it seems to cap every other sound source to a certain level while also lowering them down by the amount it capped.

In VLC player for example, raising the volume above 100% (the only software I use that can do that manually) makes it distort. In windows raising it above 100% just makes it nice and loud, no distortion at all.

rebumping

is potableapps.com legit? can i really put software on a usb and using elsewhere without leaving traces?

Still looking for a solution on this. This is the last day to fix it.

So you cant access the file at all?

Get an external wifi dongle.

I'll try again, but even when I do, I'm unsure of the prodecure to de-blacklist my specific wifi chip (Atheros AR5B95) which is one the of the few wifi chips that works with libreboot and the X60.

No money and no time to do that as much as I'd love to at this point.

Ask in #libreboot on Freenode.

well what does your blacklist file say?

Pic related is what I see in the modprobe.d directory.
Pastebins are the .conf folders that stood out to me. I think ath_pci is very related, so I should disable "madwifi" from loading? And the iwlwifi was some firmware (proprietary, I think) that I had to use for the old wifi chip to work; whether it's even relevant anymore, I'm not sure of.
pastebin.com/Bva8FX3F
pastebin.com/Vrb7rnBC
pastebin.com/p3wt9pK1

Yeah give it a try.

How tho? Jewgling offers no results besides shilling to keep it.

It says to use Jockey to select another driver

I can see that from reading it, but it implies I should know how to do this.

well then just try going to your driver manager and picking a different driver

Will this OS lube comfortably on a 486/66?

Did it work?

I want to make a new gaming system with a 480. I want to run Skyrim with a shitload of mods on this. The problem I'm having is ENB no longer supports AMD...

enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=4634&sid=b89e5e45b7d0ec5f95c7687067ef5f5b

...and without ENB I'll be stuck at a maximum usage of 4GB for scripts and textures combined. That's only 1GB more than my existing system with ENB and 2 GB of video memory. (since ENB lets scripts run in main RAM instead) So the most improvement I'm looking at is two or three new big mods, and then I'll be out of video memory again. How can I use most of the 8 GB in a new 480 card? Will the remaster fix this?

Friend and I want to do a site-to-site VPN. I have a Netgear 3500Lv2 router running Tomato by Shibby and he's running Watchguard. I assumed that since Watchguard uses OpenVPN as the base for its own VPN software that I could connect via OpenVPN on my router, but my friend insists only IPsec will work for site-to-site. (Wasn't the encryption broken for IPsec?) Regardless, Tomato doesn't have IPsec support right out of the box.
Will a OpenVPN client on my router still work for site-to-site despite what he says? Or do I need to install IPsec for this? (I have a spare flash drive I could stick onto the router for installing anything if necessary.)
He gave me a spare WatchGuard he had, but I'd rather stick with open source if possible.

HOW THE FUCK DO I RUN AEGISUB?

i type in aegisub and it deosnT WORK, THERSE NO MANUAL PAGES FOR THIS SHIT

Just get a toaster and play morrowind (open source if using openmw)

how do I `grep '(NEW)'` and output into a file from the stdout of `make silentoldconig` in zsh?

`make silentoldconfig >(grep '(NEW)' >! NEW)` just results in the following message after `make silentoldconfig` is done:
make[1]: Nothing to be done for '/proc/self/fd/12'.

without the parenthesis it fucks up right from the start

Shouldn't you be using a pipe instead of >() process substitution?

Is Ubuntu botnet? I made a bootable USB .iso a few months ago, normally when you shut it down you lose all the changes as it never changes the image except in the RAM.

However this difference has appeared, even when you're not connected to the internet when you boot up. This firefox addon comes with this error, normally I just disable the addon myself. But it's very weird, I thought live CD was read only?

Firefox recently started disabling extensions that are not signed by Mozilla. Maybe they set it to disable those add-ons after a certain date, whether you upgrade to a new version of Firefox or not.

The default Ubuntu has slight traces of botnet. fixubuntu.com/ gives a fix.

Am I endangering my laptop in some way by having it run on an old used up battery?

I didn't bookmark a site I was linked to for a bunch coding PDFs. It was a very simple site I think it was something like lisp, but not the libgen. Can I get a link please, thanks

Look in your browser history.

I`ve got a new pc been "sincyng" it with my old pc, i don`t know how to move my long torrent list from the old to the new one, i`m speaking hundreds so can i do like with browser bookmarks or something? using qbittorrent btw

forget it, just figured it out

I cleared my history and realised the mistake.

lel found it. I'm a huge faggot please rape my face

Yep, changed the CMOS clock back a few months and it's gone.

Why don't private trackers ever get shut down?

And does anyone here actually use pic related?

I've tried it around 1 month ago. It worked really well until I installed the grsec kernel package (binary) which rendered my system unbootable. I went back to Debain. I'll give Devuan a try again once it hits official release (Not beta/alpha).

I just tried installing it, got the point where I base install and I kept having weird failures.. I'm too nooby to know what I did wrong, so I guess I'll boot up Debian instead.

I'm switching from Noobuntu today :^)

For some reason whenever I try a debian install, it NEVER picks up wifi.

Hi. I'm looking for a pirated version of Windows to run on a virtual machine. I was told by a friend that there are versions modified by hackers which have stuff like automatic updates or pointless software taken out, reducing the filesize of the entire system to about 5 gigabytes. Could you link me to such a version of Windows 7, in english or german, preferably without a botnet inside?

>>>/g/


I get around that by using a SBC with a connected hard drive that stays online and keeps my other devices in sync. Not convenient for a normalfag, but it works for the more privacy-oriented.


I can sort of get people to care about privacy or security, but the problem is convenience.
Why should your mother use a Firefox fork and change NoScript settings for every website and use mpv & youtube-dl to stream videos when Google Chrome "just werks" and has its own flash player built in?
Why should your classmates use PGP encryption on emails and share keys or use Tox when they can just search and add each other on Facebook or Skype?

Why are you taking two extremes? Firefox with HTTPS Everywhere and uBlock Origin is about as simple to use as Chrome.

Great security and privacy is hard, but you can get a decent amount of it without any difficulty.

is there a mobile browser that can open .onion links? i cant seem to post on 8ch on tor without .onion

i used autostarts app, some weird app i found on fdroid. apperently you can stop apps from starting at boot and such, i i tried i out and blocked everything with google on it and more botnet like youtube and drive. but then some apps became offline, firefox and whatsapp.

cant i freeze and delete google app without fucking over my other apps?

Yes. Install these:
f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=orbo&fdid=info.guardianproject.browser
f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=orbo&fdid=org.torproject.android

Getting rid of Youtube and Drive is fine. The less clear it is what something does, the higher the danger that it'll break things.

Debian in virtualbox changes the workspaces if the mouse cursor is moving while the scroll wheel is moving. This happens even if your mouse is on a window. Is this present in a real debian environment or is it a bug in virtualbox? It is an older version of virtualbox.

Which Debian environment? GNOME?

All of them.

/r/ing a .iso of debian with GUI gnome AND non-free components so I can access my goddam wifi

Go to their website.

I'm there right now. I've only been able to find non-free with no gui, or pure free without one.

I need both a gui and wifi for my noobiness. Time constraints disallow me from troubleshooting too intensively atm

Nvm, found it:
cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/8.5.0-live nonfree/i386/iso-hybrid/

yeah i figured, so turned most of it back on. they now works tho so it was probably it. lets see after i reboot it it will still working- do you know if i delete autostarts it will keep the changes?


why do we have to use .onion in 8ch tho?

Not all Debian environments even have workspaces. Look up what GNOME is.

I don't know if it will keep the changes but I wouldn't be surprised.


I have no trouble posting normally.

It doesn't happen in Gnome but it happens in the ones that use the scroll wheel to switch workspaces. Not that big a deal.

Anyone here use Elixir or Erlang? Elixir seems to be one of my best options from what I've read but seems like the community might be pretty small, not that that's a huge issue apart from searching for solutions online but how do they compare to Rust/Go/etc?

Same user here. I managed to take my brothers HP 15 that seemed to be exclusively built for windows 10 and turned it into windows 7 with all of the useful drivers working again. It feels like I performed an exorcism.

Lightning browser has support for i2p/tor proxies.

Hey, so I have a Asus X556U with Wangblows 10 and Debian 8.5 installed. Windows boots fine, but I can't get grub to appear or force the computer to boot Debian. Could anyone help, please?

I've heard a bit of trashtalk about Gnome in Holla Forums, is there any reason why I should instead use KDE (or Xfce, even though I'm not a fan of it) when I have plenty of system resources? The extra RAM, GPU and CPU usage doesn't bother me all that much cause I got plenty and I just love minimalism, eyecandy and transparancy in my desktops.

So I upgraded my pi I got it before the SJW shit surfaced to Jessie, and all my programs seem to work just fine. However, I can't ping it by hostname anymore from Linux or Windows despite having samba installed. (It worked before upgrading.) My Linux desktop can be pinged just fine, so I'm not really sure where to look for problems.

Most of the arguments are based on taste. If you like it then it's fine. Trying other environments is still not a bad idea, of course.

How true is it that intel comes with botnet?

Closed source BIOS past 2009 I think, could even be 2007. This means backdoored from the ground up.

Anything not libreboot compatible is botnet tier

That's only because of the contrarian nature here. The only real argument against gnome is for ricing purposes.

I just switched to XCFE from GNOME a couple days ago because I'm running on super old hardware with 1 gb of RAM. Tough transfer so far since I also just moved away from Noobuntu

feels good m8

with tor on, on 8ch? without the .onion? how


this browser is extremely similar to jumpgo browser. which one is better?

and can i use i2p/tor 8ch without the .onion link?

another question:

the tor website says that orbot doesnt really make you user, but only works to bypass networks restrictions. can the gibment spy on my browsing history if i use orbot/mobile tor app?

I like when my background is littered with notes, any good gnu/linux app for this?

How could I reset the post deletion password so that if I refresh the page or open a new thread the old password doesn't come back?

So I have an LG VS880 that's updated to Android 5.1.1 (firmware version VS88024A)

I SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED it via KingRoot. (I could not find ANY mention of this being done across various forums; I am not sure why.) The root worked fully.

Now, KingRoot does work just fine for the rooting. However, it installs bloatware and is generally sketchy and you cannot uninstall it without its built-in uninstall-and-unroot tool.

And trying to evict it with SuperSU/SuperSUme just fucks the phone up.

I have gotten it fixed and back to factory stock vanilla nonrooted status; however, I wish to root this phone again.

Does anybody have any experience with removing KingRoot from this device? Or know what exploit KingRoot uses that's hopefully provided by a non-shitty person?

Is it possible to have a moving wallpaper in LXDE? i3? Anything?

If your moving wallpaper is a video/gif, sure. Use a video player, and set it to output to the root window.

Tested just now on i3:
$ mpv --mute --wid=0 --loop=inf Metallica\ -\ Hardwired\ \(Official\ Music\ Video\)-uhBHL3v4d3I.mp4

According to google, mplayer also works
$ mplayer -loop 0 -rootwin -ao null -noconsolecontrols -fs video.avi

"don't play Skyrim" is not an answer to the question "how can I play Skyrim"...

I used Xfce on my old laptop because I too had very little system resources. It worked and looked fine, but I would have preferred a more darker look to it.


Did you try Towelroot first? Did you look through XDA-dev? I'd highly recommend doing a complete format for that thing.

i got my regular everday notebook back from warranty repairs. so far i used debian testing on it, but i have been toying with the idea of trying out opensuse. what would i gain/lose? im far from being an expert but not a noob either i used deb for circa 2 years and i liked it. any compelling reason to switch to tumbleweed?

Why is ftp.installgentoo.com unaccessible? I've looked on the IRC but the password has changed, like BananaFish locked it down for no reason, anyone knows the new pass?

Some phones are extremely hard to root without KingRoot, go check XDA and look everywhere you can, but next time you buy a phone make sure it is rootable and its bootloader unlockable before, I had to switch from a completely locked G4 Stylus to a Nexus 5 to be free to fuck around and install everything I want.

Dont nexus had a backdoor?

when I add a custom resolution to linux mint it crashes my PC. I am trying to add 1366*768 because half of my screen is now black.I tried editing the file I am not sure why it's not detecting the resolution alone like windows does. I have all my drivers downloaded. I used this tutorial community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/877

Never heard of it, and it's basically impossible to sneak a backdoor in the AOSP since everyone can view the code. It's more likely that a locked phone like yours already has some of them.

Is there a file browser with bookmark folder support like Konqueror does?

ok i fucked up. i was trying to installs some themes in linux mint, but idk how i cant open files or even the system trail.

is there a command i can run from terminal to turn all themes to the default one?

urgent pls halp

aight i dont care if the command will delete everything, i just want to complete fix this.

i cant open systems settings or themes settings or any folder. just the terminal

Have you tried rebooting?

yes, like 4 times already.

doesnt work. its like when i try to open the the sytems settings, it quickly closes. idk if its because the theme was broken and doesnt support it. i can open firefox which is what im using to post this, i cant even open a usb.

pls halp

i also tried to reboot cinnamon but besides removing my upper bar, i still cant open files or settings

What is a good programming language to learn if I want to make a locally hosted webpage that creates a feed of certain twitter accounts?

I have an AMD 7770 card and for a year the fan did not work properly. It would only and only spin at 100% speed when it's 85C, and it will only do it or like 10 or 15 seconds till 80C and then repeat like every minute. The most annoying this, it doesn't just set a medium speed when there's medium usage, it goes straight to 100% when it's hot.

So I bought another amd 7770 because I like that card, cheap, doesn't consume a lot and all that crap. And I had the SAME problem, with a fucking different card. So then I thought alright... it's probably my shitty chinese 650W power supply. No problem I'll change it to something good.

Then I bought a better power supply, I didn't need a lot since my system consumes about 400w, my FX 8350 OC at 4.3 and all the other crap still doesn't consume enough. It's a sirtec high power element bronze too, not superb but good enough.

And happy that oh boy my stupid fan spinning problem is finally solved... as I am typing this using the new power supply, the video card is not only THE FUCKING SAME, but it also gives me random crashes in browsers when watching videos. Guys, what the fuck? I don't know what to do anymore, I wasted money and time and I don't know if I should do the same thing again and buy a new motherboard.

What the fuck should I do to fix this? Is there a stupid setting that I am missing? Does my OC FX screw with the video card? Is the motherboard fucked?

What you guys think of Antergos os? those it have a software manager like ubuntu?

I don't think it's as good as Ubuntu, but it's easy to use and not really bad either.

Antergos or Mint? which one is better and more secure?

Probably Mint. Mint had a single security fuckup that got a lot of publicity, but Antergos seems a lot hackier overall.

Now I even crash in intensive aplications (muh games).

Yeah, I was reading about that just yesterday. Mint 18 came out a few weeks ago, so I think I'm going to use it.

If you're on Windows, can you use MSI afterburner to set your own fan speed?

Alright, I installed Mint.
Now, what update policy should I use? the safe recommended one, or the 'keep me always updated' ?

Right now it has firefox 47

What Android apps does Holla Forums recommend I get?

copy+pasted from other sticky:

I made a post awhile ago /r/ing how to get Win10 for free w/o getting V&.

Some kind user had replied with solid links and basically told me if I upgrade from 7/8, I'm golden. I didn't get around to starting this guide until yesterday, and I found his old posts.

But for some reason they aren't in either this thread or the "?" thread, so would another user mind telling me how to do it?

I'm selling a laptop, and they sell fastest with Win10.


fdroid stuff

I opened the update manager, and there are 2 lv 5 updates of the linux kernel. From 4 to 34.53

Should I update this?

Hey tech, procrastinator here. I'm trying to run a program I downloaded from github, but have no idea what to do.

Whenever I try to open them it just displays the code in a text editor, I've ran code before from terminal but nothing like this. How I do I get this program to run?

pic very related

I think I actually screenshotted the wrong one, I believe main.hs is the right one.

gib link to github

You need a haskell compiler, it seems. Compile the game and run it

According to haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/, seems like you just need to install cabal, cd to the directory, and run "cabal install". Never used cabal or haskell before though, so someone please correct me if I've misunderstood

Thanks, searching for a haskell compiler now

Just fyi, cabal is a massive piece of shit, so it will be annoying, and installing stack for that is overkill.
cd to dir, cabal configure
If it fails, replace base == blah with base == 4.*, and cabal install random.
Then try cabal configure again, then cabal build, if that worked then goto "$(pwd)/dist/build/wumpus"

get ghc and cabal

ty, then should I just youtube how to operate ghc and cabal?


ty, I'll reference back to this, don't really understand it atm but I'm sure when I need it I will.


this, yeah


thanks for the help anons, brb

upd8:
downloading this now: haskell.org/platform/linux.html#linux-ubuntu

after not understanding how to DL the GHC tar.xz file

Don't do that. You should be able to install it with your package manager.

Ok, I'll try again. I've got the files extracted, but reading the installation instructions lost me:

"To set the ball rolling, run the configure script (as usual, run the
script with --help to see what options it supports). eg. to set up
the package for installing in directory , use

./configure --prefix=

The default installation directory is /usr/local.

The configure script will figure out what platform you're running on,
and a couple of other interesting pieces of trivia, which it will then
fill in the Makefile.in template to give you a real Makefile. If
you're of a paranoid persuasion, you might want to take a look at this
Makefile to see if the information is correct."


all that happened when I entered :
./configure --prefix=

got the following message:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

and these two:
./configure --prefix=
./configure --prefix=/Home/Desktop

got this message:
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory


Laught at me all you want but help would be great

was either a

No, stop that. Don't install it that way.

In a terminal, run "sudo apt-get install ghc".

also getting permission denied from the terminal often

I did this earlier, just redid it (0 new installs).

What's my next move senpai? I can't find it when I search, and when I type "ghc" into terminal nothing really happens apart from this message:
ghc: no input files
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.

That error message is coming from ghc. It means you successfully installed ghc.

If you see a message of the form "x: y" then x is the name of the program sending the message.

It's telling you that you didn't give it anything to compile. ghc is a compiler. Try running "ghci" for an interactive version.

I'm getting closer, here's some terminal input and output:

ghc /home/dawson/Desktop/HTW/Hunt-The-Wumpus-master/Main.hs

So then I tried adding the map and player (by dragging them from my file directory):

Now I have a .exe file in the folder that doesn't do anything when I try to run it, even with Wine.

Thanks for the help! But what about when I give it input files as I did above? Why is nothing happening? And where did this weird .exe file come from immediately after compiling?

so I took the main .exe file and dragged into the terminal, currently playing Hunt the Wumpus!

:^)

boy doggy I have a lot of work to do now. Gotta learn how to insert math problems and answers into this for an assignment.

Just curious: why did you want to play a sparsely-featured haskell version which required this much effort to get running? When I was using google to find the github repo, I found quite a few more hunt the wumpus clones that seemed a lot more fully-featured and less effort than this particular one

My PSU has this annoying coil whine when fps raised above 100 or so, but now it also whines randomly when just web browsing. Should I be worried?

Bump

I am trying to make a Hunt the Wumpus based game for a class, but I want to add a few features to it - like "solving" instead of shooting, where you have to solve a math problem in order to "shoot".

I have never programmed before, so this is all new to me. I wanted a Haskell clone because C(++) is unfriendly towards math notation, while Haskell is not.

Now I have to figure out some way to present a problem to be solved (ideally selected from a random pool of problems), and also figure out how to only allow a "shoot" function if the answer is right.....

Any pointers would be awesome :)

Two questions:

Preamble:
I got tired of IDLE not having a "clear" command, so I start off every session with
def clear(): print(" \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ")

Question One:
Can I make this permanent? Can I define a function method that remains defined permanently every time that I type "python" into yakuake without creating a custom version of python?

Question Two:
Is it possible to define a function in Python so that I don't have to call "clear()" and can just call "clear" like in a proper environment?

Why are you formatting this question like this?
Because I'm drunk and just watched deadpool for the first time and am a functioning alcoholic. why the fuck else would I be on a website dedicated to Mexican flicker shows and not a proper Q&A forum?

It all makes sense now.

i fucking dropped my hard drive and now i cant even access anything. Seagate freeagent goflex 1500gb, with about 300 gb all lost. it spins up and clicks. i cant find any videos of disassembly anywhere.

has anybody diagnosed any external hard drive issues or perhaps actually opened one up? i dont want to lose the files.

also it looks like it has really fuckin small torx screws so i prolly cant even open it

I fucked up.
So I was having issue after installing deb on a machine dual booting windows, it wouldn't show up as options of what OS to choose, bringing me straight to win, no option for deb.
Of course, windows was the problem, as my mobo kept bumping the windows bootloader up to the top, while it kept GRUB(which appeared on my BIOS/UEFI as "debian") as last priority. After following the archwiki a bit, (wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Windows_changes_boot_order) I tried opening a windows admin command promt and typing
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\path\to\app.efi
I'll admit, I had no idea what I was doing, and blindly copied the command into cmd
But, upon rebooting, it starts up, and, after the hp logo spun a bit, not GRUB, not even windows, the fucking prepackaged cancerous tumor that is INTEL-realtek family network boot pxce (or some stupid shit like that) reared it's disgusting head, spitted out my mac address back at me, and had the audacity to complain it couldn't boot anything. Using my bios, I set deb to the top. And while that worked as long as I stayed with deb, if I want to use win, it bumps itself over deb, starting the shit over again. How do I reverse this? At this point, I don't even care if I have to fiddle with the bios to start linux, it's a minor issue at this point, but i'm too scared to try the script on the arch wiki, since I don't want to fuck it up further.
Please just help me reverse this shit.

anybody now about hard drive repair? specifically the internal hardware. i dropped my seagate freeagent goflex 1500 gb and now it cant even boot up or even be accessed, all it does is spin up and click.

on top of that i need a really small torx bit to even open the bastard so theres that.

i dont want to buy a new one, i want to recover files. any help is appreciated, thanks

So the same ports are open on both my desktop and the pi. They now have the same smb.conf options.
However, it looks like the problem isn't my pi unable to be reachable by my desktop, but rather my desktop unable to reach other devices by hostname. My pi, router, and Windows 7 VM can all see each other's hostnames as well as the desktop, but the desktop can't see them without using their IP addresses.
My desktop is running Linux Mint with Samba 4.3.9. The firewall is turned off. I already tried re-installing samba. What else should I be trying? (Doing a scan with nmap shows a device's hostname, so I'm still not sure why I'd be unable to ping it.)

Doing my first build ever, stupid question time...

A mobo with a functional cpu and bios should beep at me if there is no ram, yes?

Off of that, if I then pull the cpu too, and it doesn't give some form of error beep when powered back on, does that mean it is for sure the mobo or bios (with the cpu not off the hook but at least out of the spotlight)?

If I do the CLRCMOS jumper thing in the mobo's manual, and give it some time with no cmos battery, and still lack beeps, is there anything else I can try to breathe error beeping life outta the mobo or should I skip straight to RMA?

They don't do system speakers anymore because it saves them 5c. There will be no sound unless you plug one in yourself.

Well fuck.

Uhhh, what all can prevent a POST with a no-gpu mobo-connected monitor on vga?

Would bad ram or cpu still post?

Also would no cpu get a beep if I plug in speakers?

Also who the fuck thought those shitty ass mobo speakers should get the axe, those things are life savers.

Er, I mean, get literally anything off of the display, obviously not get through POST with bad ram/cpu

I'm assuming you mean you're using an integrated graphics card?

Nope, there's a header on the mobo for a system speaker that will beep.

Just re-seat your RAM.

needlenose pliers can open some sec screws.

Tried both with and without the gpu I have for this rig, with the monitor plugged into the card when the card was connected and the mobo directly (both with abd without the card slotted). At first I was using hdmi, then switched to vga. Still had no response beyond the fans powering up and the power light being on.

4 pin, two of which are dummy, calls it the chassis speaker in the manual? Well fuck, it didn't realize what that was at the time. Don't have one that would work with it, either, so I guess it's moot. would a Fry's sell something that works with that?

Did that three times, even swapped their order and tried each alone. Was my first guess, too.

Follow up, will be buying a mobo speaker to then keep in my kit tomorrow. Will keep an eye out here for more responses, but should be out of stupid questions for the rest of today due to lacking the needed part to generate more.

Thanks for the help.

So what do the SMART tests mean and how concerned should I be of a disk failure? For reference, I got the 2TB last Christmas and the 1TB the Christmas before. Though regardless of that, I did have to run a fsck on the 2TB on boot once. (My entire encrypted /home directory was put into lost+found after this. Recovering the files was a pain.)
Should I just have my friend who gave me the 2TB drive RMA it?

I encrypted a file using gpg -c months ago, decryption worked several times.

Now I'm trying to decrypt, but it gives me this error:

gpg: AES encrypted datagpg: encrypted with 1 passphrasegpg: decryption failed: Bad session key

please help me

Wtf? Why doesn't muting the phone FUCKING MUTE THE PHONE?!

Is there any way to fix this? Or am I stuck with never being able to look at anything that could possibly have audio while I'm at work?

Different volume sliders for media, alarms, and alerts (phone ringing, texts etc). Which slider is adjusted depends in which app you're in when you use the volume controls. Manually adjust the media ones by hitting the volume control once and then tapping the drop down arrow to the right of the slider

Ah thank you good sir. You've helped me out.

I can set my fan speed in MSI afterburner but only if I set it to something above 80%, and it will go full speed on my again.

I solved the PC crashing in games, it was unstable CPU voltage so I increased it a bit and it works good, tested in prime95. But the video card only spinning when it's 85C I just cannot figure it out.

A new video card didn't solve it, a new powersupply didn't solve it, the card still only spins at full speed when it's at 85C for a few seconds. I'd appreciate any advice on how to fix this, seems to me like the motherboard is fucking something up, but I don't know.

Try this:
sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/

What's a good tool for disk diagnostics and error fixing? CHKDSK is useless for me, it «finds» a problem and «repairs» it, but it's still there upon restart.

Had to run for a bus. Only other thing I can think of is a short to the case, you can build the thing outside the case on something on non-conductive. I'm just really loathed to call it dead if you got it from somewhere reputable.
I once needed an old second hand motherboard to access my my nvidia fakeraid, got a "seller refurbished" one from ebay and it caught fire.

That'd be it.

Okay, wish me luck.

It sounds like a software issue since you've tried new hardware.

Do you have the latest AMD drivers? Are you running their Crimson software? Do you have any third party programs that might be interfering with the driver's management of fan speed?

Start small and work your way up the chain of possibilities. Maybe there's something simple you've overlooked.

Tried different drivers, even the new ones, still the same. With or without the crimson versions. I've reinstalled my os twice, same issue. I thought there are third party programs that fuck something up but there are none that modify fan speed.

The small things have been checked, os is not the problem, tp programs aren't the problem, the video card isn't the problem, the power supply isn't. The fan still spins only when it has 85C (which I'm very sure it isn't normal because it did not work like this two years ago) and at full speed.

The only option that I can think that is left is the motherboard, which actually works really fine. Can it be that the PCI slot is busted and is not delivering enough power to the video card? How would that make sense since it apparently can deliver full speed when it has 85C? I don't get it. Getting a bit desperate actually, because I don't wanna buy a new motherboard just to test things out.

I'm guessing you don't have a spare board you can test it with? Did you try a fan curve in MSI or were you just seeing if that would let you adjust fan speed manually? BIOS update?

Want to make sure I understand. Fan doesn't spin until card hits 85C, runs at full blast, turns off, then only kicks in again when 85C is reached? Maybe you can set the fan to kick in at 100% at a lower temp, say 70C. Then you can fiddle with the hysteresis setting, maybe a few degrees, to hopefully prevent it from cycling on/off less often.

No spare board, tried the fan curve a long time ago, same thing. If I manually set my fan speed to something above 80% or so it will go full speed. Bios was updated when I bought the motherboard some 3 years ago, and it worked fine then.

Yes.

I tried to do that with the temperature curve thing, something like 30% when the temp is 50C, 50% when it's 60C and 75% when it's 70 degrees and so on. It will only and only turn itself on at 85C and at full speed no matter what.

I changed one setting today which I would say helped me a bit, solved half of my problem. I used the power control setting in catalyst, and bumped it up. Now the fan starts at 100%, and still at 85C, but it will run for about 30 to 60 seconds and gradually slow down the fan speed till it reaches like 70C. It's better than just running at full speed for 15 seconds, much better. But I'm still wondering why it only does this at 85 degrees. There is no setting to make it spin at that temperature, and it wasn't like this when the PC parts were new.

Forgot to say, increasing the power control setting made the idle temperature 20C higher, so it sits at about 60C now in idle rather than 40. So it's just a dirty half a fix.

I'm at a loss then. You've reinstalled the OS so it's a clean driver install. The fan speed bug from when Crimson was released was fixed and it never prevented the fans from working in the first place as far as I know - you have the latest version. If it was your PCI slot, I think you'd be having bigger problems than fan control issues.

Yep, Crimson Edition 16.8.2 Hotfix is what I have and it should not be an issue, in either case I tried a lot of different drivers in the year or so when this problem started. I use this PC to play games and work on mine, so not a lot of things changed from when I built it, same software as usual.

I've been thinking the same, if the PCI is busted then why does the card work, why does it actually get full power when the gpu has a very high temperature. I've been thinking that something related to temperature detection is broken, but it isn't since it does detect it properly. So, third party programs are not the issue, drivers are not, the video card is not, the power supply is not, RAM is working fine, cpu is working fine (even though these have nothing to do with the video card).

I have no idea what is causing the fan to only start at 85 degrees celsius and at max speed for a few seconds. It's not designed to work in this way. I really want to thank you anyway for trying to help me! If anyone else has ideas that would be cool.

Ya new parts from newegg the lot minus the graphics card from a friend of the friend I am building it for, kinda sketchy but whatever, looks to be in decent condition just unused, but then, I ain't an electron so no clue if the wiring is still fine. I hesitate too, but it does happen. Will definitely try to confirm no case short... and that I didn't short it with the mounting for the fan. Bracket for it was metal, but had a clearly nonconductive skin on the board-facing portions.

Do any anons here have experience in getting a blizzard game running in gnu/linux?

Trying to get sc2 to work but have not succeeded under both play on linux and wine

was the beaglebone black ever corebooted?

Is there a way to make audio play from only one side of the headphones?

I want to test if mine are broken, but when I turn the audio to one side through the driver it will only mute one side, but what I want to test is, what a sound sounds like when played first on the left side then on the right side.

So I decided to just go with arch on my first step into linux. I've gotten it installed and running with plasma, and has been interesting learning it. There's a few things I just need to fcking work now though for productivity, and I can't figure it out.

Libre Office just opens its splash screen for a fraction of a second and closes.

Next is that I can't get flash working on chromium.

I've tried "flash_player_ppapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz" and "flashplayer_11_plugin_debug.i386.tar.gz" and tried unpacking both into /opt/google/chromium/plugins as helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enable-flash-player-google-chrome.html says, and also in /lib/chromium/ and can not get it to show up on chrome://plugins


Lastly, this isn't as much of an issue as a question; I have an R9 390x and have just been using the default display drivers that came with arch, whatever they are. Should install the AMD proprietary drivers, or no? It seems like there's always issues with display drivers.

I really want to learn linux, as I can't see myself ever going to the atrocity that is win 10. I would like to know linux hoping that vulkan games on linux become common. Don't see the reason for going with a pre-done distro like ubuntu or elementary.

You've got yourself and `interesting` first linux distro fam.

Did you install libreoffice-still or libreoffice-fresh? What JVM are you using? Also did you copy paste the libreoffice start thing from the .desktop file or something? This will open the file "%U" in writer.

Install chromium-pepper-flash from the AUR. After you got it to work and understand what makepkg/PKGBUILD does, install an AUR helper like pacaur. Lookup how to do all that on the Arch Wiki.

Whatever you have, install/use xf86-videa-amdgpu. fglrx is dead in the water and was so since linux kernel 4.0. If amdgpu doesn't work right, try xf86-video-ati.

For the first problem, install gtk3 explicitly
For the second problem, install the chromium-widevine from AUR

I'm busy at the moment but I'll post something explaining how to install the cower tool, and a script that checks for updates from AUR

Arch is pretty much a toy distro. Switch to something serious if you are going to permanently use it or you need it for productivity.
As for libre office it's probably a dependency error, try installing "optional" dependencies and see if any of them fix it.
I have no idea about flash player because I haven't installed it in a long time.
And I personally use AMD proprietary drivers because my resolution is fucked up otherwise, if the free drivers work then I don't see why you'd want to switch.

Like I said arch is probably not a good fit for you, or anyone else really. If you want to build up a system, which let's face it everyone does, then just go for a really minimal installation of a distro.

No, it's pretty simple.
It's two simple solutions, one is caused by a bug in libreoffice and the other is fixed by a community package that downloads widevine because they can't distribute chromium with the non-free components.

Okay, so installing the cower tool:

Run these commands:
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys F56C0C53
cd && mkdir build && cd build
wget aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/cower.tar.gz
tar xvf cower.tar.gz
sudo pacman -S perl yajl
add a line in your ~/.bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/core_perl/:/usr/bin/vendor_perl/
then:
source ~/.bashrc
cd cower
makepkg
sudo pacman -U cower-16-1-x86_64.tar.xz

and here's a handy script for cower:
#!/usr/bin/env sh# install AUR packages with cowercd $HOME/build && cower -d "$1"builddir="$_"cd "$builddir" && "${EDITOR:-vi}" PKGBUILDmakepkg -si && cd - &>/dev/nullprintf "\n%s\n" "Removing build directory..."rm -vRf "$builddir"

so to install or update chromium-widevine:
cowerd chromium-widevine
to check for updates for AUR packages:
cower -u

Missing any firmware?

VLC Player doesn't play MIDIs anymore on Windows, it hasn't for a while. Which program should I use instead? I'd like to be able to change soundfonts on a whim, if possible.

Not my computer, not my choice. I'm running Mint at home but VLC plays MIDIs fine on that so it's not an issue.

PotPlayer is okay.

Yeah I was, I was trying to install the free version of it (my wifi chip is proprietary), when really I needed the non-free version.

Got it figure out now though, but I already wanna try switching to openSUSE..

Sweet, thanks, office all working good.

uninstalling chrome and installing chromium-widevine didn't work, but installing chromium-pepper-flash from the AUR did the trick.


Well I know if I use some pre-done linux distro, I'm going to be walled in due to having just enough shit on it to not warrant using the terminal. Tried elementary for a while and that was pretty much the issue. Just got by using the software center and din't know how to install anything outside of it. Then it just devolves into a useless pos with not too much on it.

arch is just forcing myself to learn the terminal while still having Windows on my other HDD when I can't do something in linux. Thought about Antergos, but I read around and saw a lot of people saying to just go full Arch, lol.

Everything is more or less all good now. All I could really go for is setting up a VM for Photoshop so I don't have to switch back to windows, but that's a whole other cluster fuck I can't figure out no matter what distro I'm using, lol.

Once again beef is giving me problems, I am trying to open it now.

I've tried looking up solutions but it's mainly people working with sql, not beef.

Anyone know if there's a script out there that can scrape all the images referred to in Twitter's shitty tweet archive and replace the image references to local storage?

I'm about to delete a fuckton of old tweets, but I want my archive to still have images. Twitter's default archive has it download a fuckton of images from twitter.com every time you open a page locally on your machine.

Tried it, didn't fix itself, but the command it gave me to insert into windows fixed it all.
Thanks user.

I've fucked something up. Can I have a hand?

And for some reason I cannot post more than one image at a time.

Last one.

How do I force debian to use a certain screen res?
trying xrandr --fb 1600x900 just tells me that it won't let me make it smaller than 800*600

You probably need to add a new resolution for the screen to use. Here's a bash script I used for my monitor to set it to 1280x1024.

You'll need to use xrandr to get the displays being used, and replace VGA1 with the display you want. The rest you should be able to figure out. If you want it to run on start and not just in your DE, follow this guide. archive.is/3eLUX

Should probably mention you may need to combine my code with the guide I linked if you want to log in with the new forced resolution. (I did it on my machine since the display forcing doesn't save apparently.)

check the repositories.list for any malformed links

Anyone happen to have a PDF of Larson's translation of the republic by plato? Need it for a class and needs to be that exact translation, but I can't find any PDFs.

Kay thanks my man

There is alot of resources in >>>/pdfs/48 ( Other libraries thread). Also some searching for $title PDF in any search engine besides Google can turn up stuff and rarely Qbittorrent with most of the search plugin`s enabled can find them.

I can't figure out how to get the claws mail notification plugin to make a noise through the command box.
Can someone tell me what commands it'll accept?

How do I do that? Is there a command line or two I can use?

You open it with a text editor. This is UNIX-like, nearly everything is a text file. The thing you're supposed to open is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list

What do I open with a text editor? I'm somewhat new to the more "under the hood" stuff.

Open terminal, type "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list" and look for weird things in line 1.

Alright. This is what I got when the text editor popped-up:

deb github.com/torvalds/linux

I was trying to add repositories lastnight, and was playing around trying different things. This is obviously something to do with that.

Should I delete that line and save the .list file?

yes

Okay, thanks. I ran sudo apt-get update and it's worked, aside from this:

W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
1397BC53640DB551

I've tried looking around on the net for a fix but haven't found anything proper. Can you help, O Wizard?

That's a git repository, not a package repository. They're both repositories but they're for pretty different things.

Only add things that are explicitly repositories for some distribution that uses apt, preferrably the one you're using.


Which other repositories did you try to add?

i have a pending update called ' linux-kernel 4.4.0-34.53' , should i update it?


isnt it easier and safer to just throw it at a bonfire?

what's the easiest way of anonymizing yourself on hexchat for every network without having to write/learn stupid commands?

like hiding ip and not showing connected to channels

You should, that's why it's available.

So using CVT, I gave it 1600x900, and it gave me this
Modeline "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934
So I did this
xrandr --newmode "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934[code]Got this error in my face.First[code]Failed to get size of gamma for output deafult

If I type

It still shows the 1600x900 mode. Is this normal, what habbened?

Anything I do with my monitor actually gives me

How to host a website from my own IP? I've seen it done before, but I'm not sure how. Also, I'm talking about sending the site to a buddy and he will be able to open the site that is hosted by me on my IP.

How is this done on Linux?

How would I merge some pdfs (26 of 'em) that are over 100 MB - for free?
I tried different websites but none of them worked.

Yes, I did "ctrl p: save to pdf" the website but that pdf is a shitty version.

None other. That message has been showing up for a few weeks, before the other stuff.

You install a webserver, like nginx. If you install nginx and start it (happens automatically on most distros) you can just put files in /var /www/ html/ (without the spaces, those are because Cloudflare blocks my post otherwise) or whatever directory your distro uses for that.

There's a high chance you need to enable port forwarding in your router to make it work. You need to forward port 80 to port 80 on your local IP address (the 192.168.*.* one).


If you mean concatenating them, and you happen to use Linux, with pdfunite from poppler (could be packaged as poppler-tools).
pdfunite 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf out.pdf
Don't forget the last argument or it will overwrite the last file you put in.


You must have added it at some point. Which other repositories are there that look like they might be out of place?

Have a look yourself. imgur.com/a/KtEqa

Try running this in a terminal:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1397BC53640DB551
If that doesn't work:
wget -q -O - dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
I just looked up the key with a search engine. I found the instructions here:
askubuntu.com/questions/766883/there-is-no-public-key-available-for-the-following-key-ids-1397bc53640db551

Thank you, the second option worked.

How do I get mouse button feedback (value) from xbindkeys?

I type xbindkeys -k and only time it returns value is when i combine it with a keyboard button - and it only works for left and right click - all other buttons are returning the same value as if they weren't pressed.

I know that computer registers them because evtest figures them out.

Is xbindkeys even capable of that? I want to assign functions to additional buttons.

I removed the stuff from hwdb.d folder someone previously suggested, it fixed nothing

If you know the id of the buttons you can add them like "b:8", for example.

How do I go about figuring that out for my extra keys? they are registered as if nothing is pressed

Pic1 is how evtest registers two extra buttons. I understand it well, but don't know how to use it to bind it to anything.

Pic2 is how xbindkeys registers left click + "a".
Everything else is registered as m:0x0 ...

By everything else I mean buttons circled in picture 3.

How does xev register them?

In picture, "Zoom" button, the circled in previous post, upper red.

xbindkeys should recognize it as b:13.

Thanks man, that worked like a charm. Do you know what is the command for killing the current window?

Try "xdotool getactivewindow windowkill".

Thanks, that worked after installing xdotool. Now to do some keymapping.

Anyone familiar with LibreCAD know what the fuck happened here? All the lines still have their correct dimensions if I check their properties (i.e it says they are not as long as they appear visually), but they're also shown as being max length (40,000) and I haven't a clue what caused this.

I usually avoid these threads like the plague but I can't find anything in documentation or online.

Does anyone have a good CSS for Holla Forums?

also, on f-droid theres an appn called red gloom that turn the screen red to protect the eyes. is there something like this for desktop?

What's bad about this one?

Redshift.

is there something with a gui?

Why do you need a gui? You just turn redshift on with redshift -O $number. The default colour temperature is 6500. You can write a quick script to activate it at certain times or just have a script that has you manually turn it on and off.

#!/bin/bashecho "1: Redshift on2: Redshift off"read -p "" answercase $answer in "1") redshift -O 2500 ;; "2") redshift -O 6500 ;; *) exit ;;esac

Why would you do that? Redshift can keep track of time by itself.

I prefer to choose when I activate it, forgot it has timed activation built in since I've been controlling it manually for 2 years or so.

Should I use Keepass or KeepassX?

Lads, should I stay with OSX on my Mac or install Linux? If so, which one? My model is the MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.9 13" Mid-2012 (A1278).

I want to host my own VPN to use while I'm using college Wi-Fi. Where should I start?

No contest, install Linux. OS X has barely any more software and doesn't respect your freedumbs.

Alright Holla Forums. I want to replace the cpu in my Thinkpad T410. I have a 1st generation i5 core intel processor and I want to replace it with a 2nd generation i5 core intel processor. Can this be done? More importantly, what would I do to check compatibility with my current hardware?

Is there some command that can hide/show xfce panels?

I want to learn how to properly code in C. I've already got some basics from some lectures I attended to but I want a ressource to teach myself.
I tried learncthehardway but I noticed the author has a hate boner with the language itself and complicates or skips things just because he can while spending too much time with trivial subjects.
I got the K&R book (2nd edition) but I'm not sure if a book written in 1988 will do me any good today. Any advice Holla Forums?
Technically this isn't a software or hardware related question but it didn't warrant its own thread and I wanted it to be noticed. pls no bully.

can anyone tell me how gcc works? I'm trying to learn c++ and it keeps telling me that cout and cin arent defined.

check the libraries.

where would those be?

I meant the header files. cin and cout are defined in the I/O library . You need to include it in your code. (#include )

Make sure that you've added the iostream header and that you prefaced cin and cout with std:: like so:
int dubs = 44;std::cout

whats the difference between #include and using namespace std?

please respond.

shodan.me/books/Programming/C/
Heard good things about The C Programing language

using namespace std;#include int main(){ char num = '0'; std::cout

include goes first.

I get the same errors

Forgot my image.
You ought to do some research beforehand.

Thanks! I'll try reading that one first then.

Functions like cin and cout are part of the iosteam library. In order to use those functions, you have to include the header file iostream so that you can use them. However, that's not enough. All of the C++ standard library functions are part of the std namespace, hence the std prefix on std::cout.

Please halpu.

Is there something i'm doing wrong here?

Greetings Tech

Would anyone share a list or links for the security updates for a windows 7 that hasn't been updated since sp1?

The pack from M$ site will destroy many of my stuff, and install telemetry and other stuff, soon it will be all in one
My body is not ready for that

Oh I'm blind, I forgot to actually select the mode.
Which gives me
Configure crtc 0 failed

Just install ubuntu or something.

If you'll have them, just disable the updates completely.

JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP FAM
I don't know what to do.


First of all: How do I fix this fucking USB stick? I have another FAT32 stick doing the same shit, and it's a different brand, so it's not the sticks. None of my NTFS sticks have had this problem, either.

Second, why is the first USB stick not bootable but the almost-empty one is?

I'm just going to copy this shit to the Windows machine so I can get it over with, but I want to know what the problem is. Any ideas?

I've heard that mount options could have something to do with it, but I don't know anything about them and that doesn't address the issue of why they do/don't appear as boot options in BIOS. Is it because UEFI, in which case flashing the BIOS is still the way to go?

I had cinnamon mint
But couldn't use the vine to play properly


I haven't updated a single thing since the system installation

If i did this system would not work

Did you unpack the ISO? If you put the USB in another computer, is it bootable? I read that some computers just don't want to boot from USB and can be real bastards. Use a disc if possible.

wait
Okay, that's fucking stupid. But whatever. Now why is the Linux Mint stick not bootable, that's the whole fucking point of writing the image to the stick. Going to try flashing the BIOS then. no bully

Did you try winetricks or playonlinux?

No, I used software to make it a bootable stick, using that particular image. I'll try it on another machine though.

Nope didn't know, but i will, once i have more space

Since M$ is getting crazier we will have to switch eventually but slowly to get used to things

help please. Does any one know how to use gcc?

Welp, flashing the BIOS didn't do shit. Thanks, ASUS. The Windows machine won't go into BIOS, says press F1 but it doesn't do anything. :^) I'll try using this machine tomorrow, and go from there. I'm not ready to give up yet.

figured it out. I had too use the g++ compiler not just gcc.

So since laptops can't gpu passthrough, what peripherals are necessary to do so? Looking to run Windows in a vm from a separate drive

Can I move files from my Windows partition to a Mint partition? Windows 7 is too fucking slow compared to Mint and I'm sick of it, so I'm switching over to Mint and learning how to do a PCI passthrough. Only problem is I don't have a USB large enough to hold all my files, and I don't have money to buy another. Hence why I'm wondering if there's a way for me to just run a command in terminal, and get all those files on the part of my computer that I actually want them on.

Also, I've been having a problem with Cinnamon on Mint 18.1, whenever I use Firefox for any longer than 10 minutes the UI completely freezes and a lot of the time I can't do anything about it. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't reset the UI, and I'm too stupid to figure out how to fix it through the Terminal. Has anyone had this problem before?

whats the difference? ive been using keepass2 from the mint manager. is there any risk?

KeepassX(2) is a native GNU/Linux cross platform port of Keepass(2) that doesn't require the use of mono. This makes it noticeably faster. However auto type doesn't work ( at least OOTB).

A good C compiler for windows? Haven't used a compiler in ages.

I just saw gcc can be used in windows, guess i'll just use that.

hey guys, came to you since i cant fucking figure something out from retarded normies

i recently installed "community/owncloud 9.1.0-1 [installed]
A cloud server to store your files centrally on a hardware controlled by
you"
and now im wondering how the fuck i operate the shit, i type in >owncloud
and then i get "command not found"
so im kind of lost here, if you guys could just tell me the command, or where to go, id be very happy

use sftp with openssh

You can mount your Windows partition in your file manager or over the terminal.


wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Owncloud
doc.owncloud.org/server/9.1/admin_manual/

After doing a bit of my own research,it seems thhat the type of socket on the 2nd gen i5 intel chip has a different socket than the 1st generation. I tested it out anyway, and the sure enough my computer wouldn't boot with the 2nd gen i5. I wish I could have looked this shit up, even the ark.intel site says nothing about the sockets on their cpus.

If you want something that works a bit like OS X you could use elementaryOS but I recommend against it because you'll be disappointed if you expect everything to work the same way.

I recommend Xubuntu or Linux Mint.

K&R is still good. Just keep in mind that modern C has features K&R doesn't cover and that not all things in K&R are still true.

I heard Learn C the Hard Way is pretty bad.

8ch does something to files?
i cant play any mp4 that i downloaded from this site on my phone

It's author, Zed Shaw, made a 180 in the book. First saying C will unlock everything that's been hidden for you without any sugarcoating and then treating C like a 'shitty error prone language' (his words) because strcopy throws unexpected results if you pass a non-valid string at it.
I happened to find a critique on it and found the author's points to be pretty valid. Also it exposed Zed for the whiny faggot he is: archive.is/4Bt4D
C IS DEAD archive.is/p5htD

It's already mounted. And how does that help me understand how to move files from one partition to the other? All I want to do is not fuck shit up in the process because I'm retarded.

You can. Just copy them with a file manager.

Need some help. Should be a simple task, trying to migrate my stuff from one laptop to another on my 32 GB drive, but after I format for ext4 (linux) and plug into my other laptop, I get an error reading:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock

I ran dmesg to see what might be up, and it said something about there not being a cache - I'm trying to format it for the millionth time right now so I can't access it currently.

Basically, it works great after formatting until I try to eject it and it has trouble unmounting. When it finally does, or gives up, it refuses to mount again.

I thought maybe it was just the compressed tar.gz file I was trying to relocate, so after this format I'm going to start with a single text file and see how it does..

throw away your phone?

and bumping this, wanna do a gpu passthrough on my x200

Please help.

Have you got the revelant driver installed?

wat do?

Not really Holla Forums, but I just found a dox of myself through google. The site itself is down but the dox shows in the site description. It has my full name, address, city, country, IP address, and an old email I don't use anymore. How worried should I be? I only found it by searching for the old email, so it should be pretty obscured with other shit. Besides that, it's basically just my billing address.

Am I good with just getting rid of any other connection to that email that's left? I don't see why anybody would use it unless they knew my name, which I don't connect to any online identities. And I'm looking to move in a few years, so I think it should become useless information.

I figured it out, I really am retarded.
Why can't fucking windows let you move files between partitions? It fucking sucks.

I just tried to install the AMD radeon drivers on Linux Mint, I figured it would be ok since Mint and Ubuntu are so similar.
Now, when Mint boots, the Mint symbol is up on the screen for a few seconds, with the 5 dots below it, to indicate loading, but after a few seconds that Mint symbol will disappear, leaving just the five dots cycling. And after that, the dots disappear leaving just an Underscore in the top left corner of the screen, and my keyboard doesn't work.
How bad did I fuck up and how do I fix it?

I tried to run the recovery mode for Mint, 'repaired packages' and when I tried to normal boot I got a message that said 'The X server has now been stopped. Please try again when MDM has been properly configured.' How do I fix this, because so far it looks like I'm going to have to completely reinstall Mint.

What the fuck is this shit? How did Microsoft become worse than Apple overnight?

They gutted all important data from the user experience, so now you've just got a retarded fucking orange box to look at.

Can't tell if it's frozen or downloading. Probably frozen because no fucking way does a download take this long.

Why can't I pick individual programs? It's acting like it's downloading and installing fucking 9 things at once.

The MS support options all just say "uninstall, restart, then try to install again." WHY THE FUCK IS IT TAKING ME 5+ TRIES TO GET THIS SHIT? WHY CAN'T I DOWNLOAD THE OFFLINE OFFICE INSTALLER WITH MY STUDENT ACCOUNT?

Just fuckin checked my network stats and the setup program for Office 365 is downloading at ~1-2kb/s...

...

Looks like installing libnss-winbind fixed it. Not sure why it didn't work before without it or if it got uninstalled for some reason, but it works now at least.

Is Telegram messenger good? It claims to be foss, but I tried using their web site and it ask whats my country. Can it still be secure if I give it that info?

If not, then other alternative skype-like program that works crossplatform?

The client is FOSS, the server isn't. They claim to want to free the server at some point.

They can tell your country from your phone number and your IP address so explicitly giving it is not a security risk.

It's far from perfect, but better than 90% of the alternatives. It's the best messenger that's actually used by some of my real-life contacts.

I'm reading the FAQ and apparently the code is not fully open. Allegedly they say the security part of the code is fully open.

So idk.

I like retroshare but its only for desktops.

What can you tell me about chatsecure? It supports facebook, google talks, etc. Is using those programs with chatsecure safe?

Like I said, the server is not open. The client is. All the stuff you actually have on your device is open.

it's a usb drive, a little flash drive. Would I need to install it?

Bump and update, after putting a single tet file on there it still didn't work. I'm going to try mounting it with NOTHING on there to see what happens and just plug and unplug it, I don't see why I'm having so much trouble. Could it be my flashdrive?

Does android have any sandboxing apps?
Let me explain further:

You have Skype or Pokemon GO or other permission hungry app and decide to use third party permission manager to remove bunch of permissions. The app no longer works correctly and crashes.

I was thinking of some sandbox that makes app run in virtual filesystem (to restrict access to personal files) and emulates system services for permissions that were removed (meaning it would still have the permission but run in sandbox). It would e.g. give fake identity data or location data when app tries to get that preventing crash.

My Arch install had been working flawlessly for over a year and it just suddenly completely broke for no apparent reason.

Now I just get a login prompt instead of x/lightdm starting. I can't start lightdm at all and am not connected to the internet. I can login and my files are all there, but if I try and run certain programs I get this message
"the file is marked as an executable but could not be run by the operating system"

Any idea wtf could have happened? I'm just installing a new OS at this point because it seems completely FUBAR for no goddamn reason.

Run "lsblk". Does it show unmounted partitions that should be mounted?

Which programs fail?

I just got a new laptop for work shit only to find out it had windows 10 on it.
I've spent 2 days trying to find a torrent of windows 7 (I'm not installing linux yet because it'll be a fucking pain to transfer everything over) and I've had no luck.
any advice?

Arch user here.
My laptop started to behave bizarrely.
Whenever I close the lid (even if I just logged in and didn't launch any GUI), the computer seems to suspend itself.
Then, when I open the lid, the screen is black and does not react. I have to forcefully shut it down by pushing the power button.

How do I fix that problem?

Why would it be a pain to transfer everything over if it is a new laptop? Just go with a starter distro like mint that has lots of support. And if you can't find torrents for windows 7, I think you might just want to kill your self I'm afraid.

How is transferring everything over to Linux harder than transferring everything over to Windows 7?

You can at least install Linux for now. You can replace it later.

bump pls halp

Are you going to migrate from Linux to non-Linux?
Because non-Linux usually does not support ext4.

anyone?

Best free owncloud provider? I was thinking wolkli since its based in switzerland. But any other?

So there is nothing else for it on linux? For Window$ there was QTTABar or however it was spelled. Which had a browser like bookmark function.

Not in my experience, though if it results in a lot of on/off cycles it might. I've been running a presario for years off of a battery with only 11% total capacity left and it's fine. Though if your battery became fucked soon after you got the laptop, you might want to update the BIOs, which may fix some battery longevity issues.

Nevermind I got the damn Konqueror to work properly now.
It needed this shit for mime inode/directory

comment: File Manager
execute/command:konqueror %u

Why not Gentoo or Arch? Which one do you personally use? I've heard many things in Holla Forums about systemd, pulseaudio, etc.

What configuration should I use?

I shut down my Toshiba laptop because it told me the cooling component failed and I have to get it repaired. How stupid would it be to turn it back on?

Not him, but
While systemD does have problems, the average user won't run into these at all. Pulse audio a steamy shit though.

Can I configure the RSS downloader of utorrent to only download stuff from 1 hour or newer when I add the RSS instead of downloading the entire fucking RSS fucking up the ratio?
I mean for sites like gazelle where you have 6 hours or newer torrents on freelech but when you add the RSS the thing download the latest 50 torrents
How?

UVOMIT IS BOTNET, INSTALL DELUGE

Final update on the tablet installation:

I found that the stick booted in this machine, then I took a break from it. I found out today the partition table was somewhat fucked on the stick, and I fixed it, but regardless I was correct in my suspicions that it wouldn't be easy going UEFI-only and 32-bit.

askubuntu.com/questions/392719/32-bit-uefi-boot-support

jfwhome.com/2016/01/04/latest-steps-to-install-ubuntu-on-the-asus-t100ta/

So I have my answer. I'll have to wait until I have the time to get all the most up-to-date info together and give it another shot.


Did Deluge ever fix the problem with adding weeb torrents? It fucked up the encoding last I checked, so I switched to qbittorrent instead.

It keeps resetting the downloads just because, shit for private trackers

Should I install WinPython or Anaconda? Which has more useful features? I mostly want Spyder because I loved working with it, and it's going to mostly be hobbyist programming, so I might possibly want GUI tools.

Getting a new laptop soon and it's porbably going to come preinstalled with wangblows tin. I was going to use destroy windows spying, but from the comments it looks like that might break a lot of shit. Is there any other good utility for cleaning up windows 10, or am I going to have to figure out how to do a bunch of shit manually?

Gentoo is for ultimate ricers. If you're really experienced with Linux and have strong preferences for the way your software is compiled it's a good choice.

Arch is for somewhat experienced users with specific needs. It's not good for beginners either.

College student here. I was thinking of learning a trade and becoming an electrician since I'm no good at anything else. But I'm being pushed to get a degree. I'm thinking the only thing I might like doing is something like a web application developer. Something that involves computers that doesn't involve math so Computer engineering is out. I wanted to know if anyone here has experience in these majors and if it's a good idea to major in this. Sorry for my bad english.

If I take pictures of passwords that I generate based on a convoluted formula relating to what the passwords are used for, like pic related, is it at least more secure than having a plain shitty password that's easy to remember? How secure is it?


Your English is perfect, except you didn't capitalize the word "english", and you capitalized "Computer" but not "engineering", which is weird. This is an image board though, so no one gives a shit and those were probably typos anyways.

Thanks user, I'm trying my best

hey Holla Forums:

How do i change this?

How do I get rid of the nigger on my W7 start menu?

You should have upgraded Windows 10 earlier. Now you have to pay for the upgrade.

You do realise that this thing calles context is a thing right you massive faggot? English would mean that the person from the United Kingdom. Where as english is talHow secure is it?
Says the padantic person. no need to apologize, if you hadn't asked for forgiveness I wouldn't have been able to pickup that you weren't a native english speaker. As >> 643643 said no one really gives much of a shit, if at all here.

Wouldn't a capital English refer to being from the United Kingdom?

Seeing as those passwords are in plain text, if some gets them it would be easy to take over your accounts. Unless they aren't linked to the service, then it becomes a harder.

However the probably is not zero that your formula hasn't been thought of before and has already been integrated into a password cracker. Also easy to remember some times does not equal weak as the order of the words is very likely almost impossible for a machine to guess in any reasonable time frame. To learn more about this, search up "password dice" or some such (I can't remember the name off the top of my head).

With that said I use a password manager for the most part. To answer to the question, yes it would be until someone figures out your formula.

Some times it is better to not even bother dealing with the "latest and greatest" product. I would suggest either trying Windows 7 (however there is likely to be no drivers) or trying a rolling release GNU/Linux distro with a pre applied DE and a way more modern kernel. For example Void with cinnamon pre-applied.

What the hell is going on with file names

Deduplication. If the same file is posted twice it isn't stored twice and it gets the same location every time.

I'm in a bit of a bind, I need to install the latest .net framework but I've done a massive amount of fucking about with my windows system for the purpose of removing unwanted bullshit "features" and bloat. Obviously one of the first things I did was disable all windows updates but updating .net framework to the latest version won't work unless I install the following windows patches:

KB2919355, KB2932046, KB2959977, KB2937592, KB2938439, and KB2934018.

No amount of googling has turned up a download link for any of these patches that doesn't just refer me to microsoft's own website, but those utter fucking cunts have taken all those updates offline making them completely inaccessible unless there's some other mirror hosted god knows where.

Anyone able to help a nigger out here?

Fuck

I thought all languages were capitalized? English, Japanese, Spanish, Latin?

I am not actually completely shure, myself.

Have you tried asking for a link to them by sending a email from within the page? That is how I got the AMD CPU fixes that I wanted.

Eventually found a download for KB2919355 and tried starting with that, the installer just gave me a non-specific "the installer failed to install some components" error message, the only component being of course KB2919355.

Fuck this garbage, if it ever becomes a critical issue I'll just do a vanilla install on one of the small spare SSD's I have lying about.

Replying to your comment, everyone should read this. Zed Shaw is such a faggot, holy shit.

.NET is the worst software product known to man.

neetco.de seems to be dead (down for ~2 weeks). What non-cucked alternatives do I have? I liked the amateur and cosy atmosphere of neetcode but I'm obviously not going to be picky.

I haven't tried it myself, but I heard of something like that a while back, let's see... PDroid or OpenPDroid is what I was thinking of.


I have no idea how active either of these projects are, if they still work, etc. Also relevant is XPrivacy, came up in my search.

I've not heard of a legitimate sandbox though. An FOSS sandboxing app for Android would be unbelievably helpful when it comes to shitty datamining apps.

neetco.de was git hosting, right?

Have used gentoo for about a month now, never used funtoo. In the future I'd use funtoo. Fucking about with USE flags is neat for the first couple of days, and then you run into a situation where you really want your network printer to work but you realise you compiled CUPS with the wrong options, so you adjust and recompile, and it still doesn't work, so you end up looking on the arch wiki and you realise there's something else that needs recompiling but of course the arch wiki can't help you there, so you say "fuck it" and end up adding zeroconf to your global USE flags and recompile everything, and then you finally get it set up and you've forgotten what you needed to print in the first place.

As I understand it, funtoo is like gentoo but more sane. The only reasons I like gentoo are because it offers choice, and because it supports the mixing of different repos (other distros allow it but do not tend to support it). Next time I'll definitely try funtoo instead.

Holla Forums, I need a program to quickly rewrite all "deleted" data with something else, even if its something like "lolololol".
Can anyone help me?

I have a gentoo install in which I play video games occasionally. Recently I installed debian as well (dual boot), and for some odd reason I get worse performance in the game I tested (borderlands 2, pic related). ~60fps stable constant on gentoo, ~30-40 fps variable on debian. I know it's not because the drivers are more up-to-date on gentoo because I used apt pinning on debian to get the most recent nvidia one from sid, slightly newer than the gentoo driver, and yet somehow the performance is worse. Oddly though I downloaded a benchmark (unigine heaven) and both OSes performed near identically. Any ideas?

How shit are Nvidia drivers for Linux?

Hey Holla Forums!

I'm looking for a desktop computer that can run WoW on the reccomended settings, and right now I'm looking for a graphics card.

These are the minimum requirements:
AMD™ Radeon™ R7 260X or better

that's unfortunately a bunch of spanish to me.

There are a lot of desktop computers in my price range that use IntelHD Graphics cards. Which series out of those would be "equal to or better" to World of Warcraft's reccomended settings?

Some of them are these

What's Holla Forums's take on Avast Antivirus? I'm browsing for new software after a hard reset and am thinking about picking this one up since it's free (as in beer) and a few friends actually recommended it.

Use Tor, responsibly.

If you browse through Tor you conceal your IP address, and with that your location.

Tor does NOT protect you against exposing your identity by, for example, using your normal e-mail address to sign up for things. Look up guides for responsible Tor usage.

theyre not that bad once you get them installed. the proprietary ones, at least.

ubuntu and its derivatives has a feature that auto installs them for you, alongside other proprietary drivers, but they are not the up to date ones

dont get a desktop with integrated graphics, theyre shit.

your best bet is to buy your parts and put it together yourself, it isnt that hard.

if you cant do that buy a pre-built with a gpu. what is your budget and what currency?

its shit. if you have to use an AV, then use bitdefender or avira.

just show him benchmarks of the titan x vs the 980 ti. he'll see the gains are not worth the small fortune. hopefully

I'd like to start learning Assembly language for my beaglebone black. Where can I find what language it's written in? I know it's ARM architecture, with an OMAP Texas Instruments Processor, but that's all I know.

Complete noob here in case that's not obvious

Here's a probably stupid programming question:

I've got 2 functions in C++: function no.1 operates on 6 huge arrays. Function no.2 works with the same input but it (for the sake of simplicity) sums up the arrays into 1 which is returned. The 2 functions are large and completely identical aside from the part that the second sums and the first just operates... Both work with pointers to arrays so there's no "return x;".

I want to merge the 2 which I could solve by using something like this (oversimplified):
void myFunct(){ // lots of lines of code before for( unsigned int i = 0; i < nentries; i++ ) { for ( int j = 0; j < 6; j++ ) { if( somecondition(val[j][i]) ) { if( summing ) sum->Add( val[j][i] ); else myArray[j][i] = doMaths(val[j][i]); } } }}

So there's almost just a single line difference between the two functions. But with my ~billions of data points I cannot afford having an if statement which is always either true or false; that's why they are separate for now. I've been looking into this but I cannot seem to find a simple and elegant solution to merge the 2 functions without having to repeat a ton of code.
I'm probably overlooking the most simple solution... Any ideas?

You have no idea what you're talking about and sod off with the "integrated is shit" meme.
He's buying it for WoW - I played that game on max settings on a laptop with HD4000. Those desktop GPU-s above the 4000 series can handle it just fine. And when later he realizes that he's made a mistake by buying Intel never ever he'll get a decent, cheap AMD VGA

I don't think I really understood what you wanted.
#include int DoMaths(int input) { return input*input; }//sum->Add(val[j][i]);inline void fsum(int *useless, int *sum, int input) { *sum += input; }//myArray[j][i] = doMaths(val[j][i]);inline void fmath(int *res, int *useless, int input) { *res = DoMaths(input); }void myFunct(int val[6][10], int myArray[6][10], int *sum, void (*f)(int*,int*,int)) { for(unsigned int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < 6; j++) { { f(&(myArray[j][i]), sum, val[j][i]); } } }}int main() { int myarray[6][10], val[6][10], sum = 0, i, j; for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) { for(j = 0; j < 6; j++) { val[j][i] = 2; } } myFunct(val, myarray, &sum, fmath); for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) { for(j = 0; j < 6; j++) { std::cout

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Tired of being an indecisive procrastinating little shit.

After much reading and sifting through countless resources, I think I'm going to begin working through the following:
-The Unix Programming Enviroment
-Learning Debian GNU/Linux and Learn Enough Command Line to be Dangerous
-The C Programming Language

My idea here is that before programming, I should have a good understanding of the concepts and shit, so I'm reading The Unix Program Enviroment. I'm too impatient to hold of on learning C, so I'm going to be reading through that simultaneously, and lastly, the two books on command line and my specific OS so I can use both of them more efficiently.

Speaking of, does anyone happen to have a torrent for The Unix Programming Environment?

Is there any harm in installing Visual Studio C++ 2015 tools and libraries for desktop? I need it for a project, but it says it has Windows 8.1 SDK so I'm worried it might have anything to do with windows 10 telemetry shit.

If you're running windows you clearly don't care about any "harm" that might come your way

You know what I mean, smartass. Thanks for being an unhelpful cunt.

And I run windows because I like to be able to actually play video games. Have fun with your nogames.

Not possible. I'm not an american, I live in a shithole and the government its awful, so no.

everytime i plug a usb i cant move or delete files because of some permission problem. i look it up and used the terminal to do something and after deleting my files and restarting, it worked. but only to that usb, it tried using another usb and i can move any file in it.

is there a permanent fix to this?

im using cinnamon mint 18

Regarding clouds...

I don't have much experience using clouds because I never trusted them in the past, and pretty much still don't. However, I decided to try mega.nz so I could back up my music files. I made an account and attempted to dump an entire folder into the cloud but it only gave me the option to select individual files. Funny thing is, when I first load the main screen, the "Folder Upload" option is there but then it just vanishes... It's fucking annoying.

I tried turning off all of my script blockers and tried using different user agents to prevent this but nothing works. So in order to back up my music, I have to go from folder to folder and select individual files and UL them that way. It would probably take me months to backup all of my files this way.

How can I get around this? Is there a better free cloud service?

webm unrelated

Which browser are you using? I know that a few years ago Google Drive only supported folder uploads on Chromoids. Other user agents wouldn't necessarily help with that because there are probably javascript methods to find out whether it's supported.

You could upload the files as an archive. zip or tar or something.

Is softether trustworthy, or should I just use open nvpn?

Firefox

Yeah, but I am uploading the files as a "double backup". I already have them backed up on a flash drive as well. The main reason I wanted to use the cloud is to be able to play the files on multiple devices, without having to unzip them onto the HDD.

(heil) (checked)

So do I just download the lastest version then? Pro x64

Yes it is. However most Direct X12 games are currently are and are likely to never br not worth it. Also Vulkan is better as it is cross platform and libre. Personally everything else about Windows 10 is enough to make Direct X12 not worth it.

Personally, Windows 7 is the only worth while choice fot that type of thing. In the torrent thread there is several posts with links to both unmodified and modified versions of Windows 7 versions.

In recent years Switzerland has done several things that make it`s marketable stance on privacy weaker (If I remember correctly, changing their banking laws so that they are more easily able to be working with the international banking community to stop organised crime I think it was).

Where the hell is the Holla Forums onion link? Not on the front page, not on the FAQ. Is Jim trying to hide it or something? I'm posting with Tor right now and it doesn't ask me to use the onion address at all.

Even with DirectX12? or 11?

I have a GTX 980, i7. Should I just play with Wine then? Or do I install Windows 7.

Maybe I'll install 7, but I'd still like a second opinion.

I can't find it on the site, but this is it:
oxwugzccvk3dk6tj.onion/index.html

Should I feel bad for using Cinnamon Linux Mint? I think it's the best distro because it has a lot of features, it's easy to install and it's user-friendly; doesn't sell your information either.

If I recall correctly security isn't really good, but I'm sure they fixed it.

Any one else here shares the same opinion?

kernel: forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/orig-development/kernel-franco-kernel-r1-t3266864

make sure to get his app so you can fuck with settings and shit. if you dont want to pay for the version you pretty much need then just pirate it.

ROM: forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-pure-nexus-layers-fi-wifi-calling-t3244563

stable, fast, has some decent features added in, wifi calling. make sure to flash supersu in your recovery because it doesnt come with root

DirectX is currently only available for Windows 10. Direct X 11 and below are available on Windows 7. Another option but more complex: PICE-passthrough.

At the end of the a tool can only do so much. So I would suggest learning how to create a presentation in general and then finding some guides to help make sense of LibreOffice`s interface.

No you shouldn't as the best tool is a personal thing. Personally I run Void as I perfer speed, minimalsm and being able to get recent versions of software easily.

would i achieve any more privacy if i loaded webpages through GET request without browsers and through the tor network instead of using the tor browser?

No, because you can then be uniquely identified as the autist who does that all the time. They won't immediately know your real identity, but they might know that it's the same person every time.

then what?

Are there any sites beside systemlookup.com/lists.php?list=1 where I can lookup CLSID?

This site is very incomplete so I was looking for better place. For example this isn't there: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1988

What do you mean?

if they can make connections between my visits how will they be able to ban me

or not ban but use exploits on me or anything like that i don't even know just an idea

Ban you? What's your goal exactly?

If it's to avoid being banned your method is overkill anyway.

If it's to avoid getting your real identity exposed, then connections between visits mean that they can make connections between information exposed in those visits. If you accidentally let them know your town in one visit, and you accidentally let them know your job in another it becomes much easier to narrow down who you are than if they only knew one of those things.

and what about exploits? i mean the chance of that would be diminished if i didn't connect with firefox right?

Slightly, perhaps, but it's not worth it. Just don't use javascript and you're good.

Any recommendations on cloud storage?

I need it to have a good amount free data.

I was looking at mega but i remember it not to be trusted as Kim dotcom even said it is unsafe due to a hostile take over.

Can anyone recommend something better?

Is Rotor Browser at least faster than the normal tor?

How do i fax

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my new box because it's the only distro that wasn't giving me issues with my Radeon RX 480. Pretty much, my disdain of Win10 is what kept me from giving up and installing that OS. This is my first true Linux build on a box with enough hardware to run high-end games.

I installed wine and playonlinux in order to Steam but I hit some nice configuration issues I wasn't able to solve (Dragon Age - Origins crashing, screen flicker and improper resolution). I downloaded Crossover and this resolved those issues (though, at some point, I want to correct these through wine and playonlinux). But, I'll settle for Crossover for the time being.

Right now, I want to use my PS4 controller using Crossover launched Steam. I already downloaded and installed the qtsixa driver and it works for Linux Steam but doesn't work for Crossover Steam.

I want to be able to use my PS4 controller for Crossover/wine Steam. How would I go about doing this?

On another note, how does Linux fare while using emulators for NES -> PS2 games? Would I also need to wine these or are the Linux specific emulators I can use successfully? (I haven't put too much research into this because I've been getting my system running and failing at wine.)

Also, is it possible to install Silverlight so I can Netflix? I attempted to install pipelight but to no avail. That's my next project once I get the controller to work.

What router should I recommend for a family of retards with 100mbps internet speeds and 11+ devices concurrently connected when they're complaining of stuttering when watching videos using a wi-fi connection?

They're currently using a stock virgin media super hub.

I have a GTX780-DC2 and I would say it seems to be running just fine. Now in the summer it gets up to around 39-40C idle max (actually 38C in the moment, ~1100 rpm) and during the rest of the year it can go down to 32 and maybe even a few degrees lower. It is clean, the fans seems to work fine too. Games run fine too. But I am paranoid about the temperature it can reach on some games as well as the noise. I have never seen it go above 73-4C, and on the net it said it is dangerous only really above 90, 95 even, but the 70 number makes me sweat just by looking at it, but the temperature in the whole room rises too. And then there is the noise from the fan. Hearing them that much makes me worried. When I am with my headphones on I don't really hear them, but I have nothing else to compare it to other than older cards that never run like that, so I don't know how to feel about it. I have seen the fans reaching ~1800rpm on 74 degrees. So because of this paranoia I don't like playing games that go much above 60 degrees, though I don't play many games like that anyway, so there are only a few AAA games that do that and sometimes even less optimized non-AAA graphic games. One of the things that worries is me is that my case is actually not a very good one, but it is probably generic enough to not really be a problem. It is a Thermaltake VL800M1W2N and it cam with one fan that is right against the CPU cooler (a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO). On diagrams I see that the behind is one of the points where the airs exits from. How much does it matter that there is some small fan there? On the top there are two other holes for air and I can put the whole on the second one (between the CPU and the hard disks as well as directly bellow (from where it is shown on a diagram airing coming from). Would it change anything if I move around this fan? I am not sure if it would be good for it to blow against the fans of the GPU and I really I can't put it at the bottom because I have no space from the cables of the PSU.

I need to reset my passwords on a lot of sites (yes, I reused them like a fucking retard). Should I use a password manager or should I get unique passwords for each site and write them on a physical note? Might as well do it right this time so I'm asking for your advice.

Either way is fine. Unless you have the risk of getting fucko'd.

tl;dr


no js, text browser


a blank page

flags by themselves won't do much. combine with static analysis, fuzzing and good c practices.

Yeah, I'll use the password generator for less important pages, like forums. But what about email for example.

how do I get into Holla Forumss IRC

or any of the IRCs for that matter

I'm trying to install linux mint onto my laptop, and I'm having a really weird issue. I tested it on a virtual machine to see if it worked, it did, then I loaded it onto a USB drive and booted it only to find that the "Install Linux Mint" CD icon on the desktop does nothing when I double-click it. how the fuck do I install it to the computer's harddrive?

ps2 games on gnu linux runs superiorly charm especially on getting better frame rates. Gnu linux has it's native ps2 emulator and doesn't require wine to play it.

Boot from the stick. If it's not booting from the stick you need to get to the BIOS during startup and change the boot order so it looks at the USB stick first.

Install Hexchat?

I have that actually, but where is the channel?

anybody have any idea of how to use this?:

pastebin.com/d33LrJ21

is a line of commands to send messages quickly in the chat.

still not working. Mint boots up fine, but the "Install Linux Mint" program just doesn't do anything

that's bizarre user

can you post screen shots or a quick video?

user I don't know what code that is but it just looks like loading bar

here's a shitty phone video that gets the point across
sendvid.com/z2dk6ytu

fucking overchan and ouroboros fix your shit. i cant shitpost at work

did you try running it from start menu?

yes, still does nothing

well shit user

how did you install the image on a flash drive?

Unetbootin

user you fucked up

god damnit.
what should I have used?

try this instead

osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html

On the Rizon server, /join #Holla Forums?

try
and get back to us with the results

thanks user, seems like it's dead tho

also if it pans out check this out >>>/poltech/66

aside from a blankpage

Are you sure? I'll guess I'll try Funtoo then, I don't want to spend 6 hours uninstalling and then installing Gentoo.

What would you suggest for creating a good presentation?

PowerPoint 2016 is really easy, has a good design, etc.

a weather channel page is good

or just make your own home page, we had a thread where people shared home pages for a while

same thing happens.
an alert pops up that says I have no memory left
does that have something to do with it?

also by the way whenever I try to run it without secure boot or fast boot an infinite stream of error messages go past the screen

yes

the live session runs directly onto your memory

what spec is your ram and cpu

fast boot is fine to leave on secure boot is not because then you cant boot the flash

wait, the error messages, how long do they go for?

if it's less than 10 minutes just let it run for like half an hour

I'll let them run next time

oh and instead of bootign the live session try directly installing instead of letting the timer count down, select the install option instead of live session

alright user, I work nights so I gotta go to bed, those probably aren't errors and are probably processes being loaded in, maybe take a vid next time and share it here

also make sure to post spec, minimum 512 ram is required which may not have been accessible if secure boot was on

Are there any halfway decent wallpaper managers fro windows that don't just cram everything into one big picture that gets fucked up if somethings resolution changes? Man Loonix really spoils you.

Picture so my post doesn't get ignored.

I'm using an x60 tablet, what the fuck is this pop out thing next to my stylus? It doesn't come completely out, as far as I know

Anyone?

Up to now I've been a web developer, but I want to cut my teeth on application development. I want to be able to make software that works p2p like chat, filesharing, etc. What's the best programming language to use?

HTML/CSS

Is Amazon botnet? If so, where can I buy my kindle books? I don't like to pirate.

Cool. Thank you.

If I buy CD's physically do they come in the highest quality possible?

Not the highest quality possible, but far beyond the point where any further jump in quality is just a placebo

fight me audiophiles

CD's are encoded with WAV files, so in short, yes

You know I was actually thinking about saying something like that, but I decided not to because even as a moderate audiophile myself, I couldn't really care less about a song that sounds a percentage of a percentage point better on one format than the other IF you're using insanely expensive equipment to monitor it and didn't want to get into a fight over why people think something that you put a needle onto every time you play it sounds marginally better than a CD

What's a good Skype alternative that I could get normalfags to try? My friends didn't like Tox, but just kept asking why I didn't want to just use Skype rather than explain what Skype does better. (Apparently Skype consistently dropping our calls and giving us audio issues isn't a good enough reason to stop using it.)
Is it even worth suggesting anything to them?

Discord. It's non-free (as in freedom, it is free as in beer) but you can run it through a browser without having to download a proprietary client.

I'm running out of space on my Xbox One for games (>5 GB left) and need to put everything I have saved as well as anything future onto an external hard drive for storage. Will a portable ext. hard drive work for this as well as other consoles (i.e. Xbox 360, PlayStation, etc.)? I know you have to delete anything you have on a hard drive if you want to save Xbone games on it, but I'm asking if I'll be forced to delete all other saved games from other consoles if I first save my Xbone stuff to an empty hard drive, throw on files from other consoles and then plug it back into the Xbox to save anything else.


I'd love to have a gaming computer but atm, I have neither the money nor the feasibility to make that happen, along with the fact that I'd have to put it in another room where both my brother and I could play it

If I want to dual-boot Windows and Linux which one do I install first?

Windows

*Technically* you could go higher in quality, but doing so would probably just be placebo.


Might just use that. They'll probably like not having to install a program to at least try it.


Windows, trying to install it after Linux is possible but a massive pain.

of course amazon is botnet, user

I know this might not be the best places to ask, but what is the latest safest Windows version to use?

windows?
I think vista and onward allow you to have a slideshow of a selection

this is more a question for Holla Forums console modding to be honest

8.1 if you turn auto update off and kill some shit in it

7 is better tho

What can I do then? Where can I buy my books?

I'd like to buy physical, but a Kindle is much cheaper. I also have too much of a moral standard to pirate.

Let's say I made a twitter account that is demanding a phone number for verification but I don't want to use my real phone number.
Is there a decent free online SMS service out there that will let me verify my account? I found some but I don't know if they're trustworthy.

I get the feeling I fucked up here.

About a week ago, I got a TP-LINK TL-WN722N because the built in wifi for my computer is shit. When I first installed the drivers, my PC crashed a short time later. Being my dumbass self, I ignored it.

Past week nothing happened until today. Out of the blue, my internet cut out and a couple minutes later, the computer BSOD'd. Turns out some TP-LINK adapters can blue screen by causing an error with athrx.sys. I uninstalled the driver it came with, and whenever I plug in the adapter, the computer crashes.

Found out about Atheros drivers and installed AR9271, no change after that.

Anyone got a fix?

just wanted to say thank you, I thought linux supported ext4 best (that's what ubuntu told me I swear)

suddenly it will not let my type in my password to unlock cryptManjaro
what do? (keyboard works fine in GRUB)

I should mention that the adapter needs to be plugged during the installation of the Atheros driver, but the installation won't be able to finish because crashes.

Already tried that, they just called me a faggot for having an Xbox and ignored my question entirely in lieu of posting laughing reaction pics. Guess I should've been expecting that.

Thew new "hide" option on here doesn't work for me, anything I can do about it?

telegram?

What's the best torrent client?

What's the best browser?

Depends what your needs are. Can't go wrong with qbittorrent/Firefox though

dude seriously? I was asking an actual serious question. Plus web developers use server side scripting, it's web designers who only focus on HTML/CSS.

But I want to cut my teeth on stand-alone application development so what's a good language to start with?

What do you think about palemoon?

C++

All of this is theoretical.
I don't see why that should cause any issues seeing as the partition is still formatted for the Xbox and that the other system data isn't being accessed in any meanful way besides being read. That data should just show up as unkown/corrupted and still be fine, as I don't belive many file systems (especially on consoles) would dedicate resources to file system level health checks where unkown/corrupted data is removed.

The old method of shift + left mouse should still work. To be dramatic, for how much longer that continue to be the case I can`t say.

If I was able to be a developer it would really depend on the working environment.
Windows: C++ or C#
GNU/Linux: Python, C
Cross platform: Python, Java
Rust would likely be way harder due to the newness of the lanuage.

OS version? I would assume 10. In that case upgrading to 7 will be better as A) the drivers would probably be more mature, B) drivers don't get updated automatically every single time by default I belive.

Doesn't work for me, do I click on the OP image while doing that? Because that doesn't work at all.

I have been using Manjaro for a good month now and today it suddenly wont't boot. I just get this error message, what does this mean?

I am using a SSD and a dual boot system.

Well looking at your pic I'm afraid it means you have to Instal Gentoo

Ok, thanks a lot user. I just didn't want to spend $60+ on a new drive only to find out it will only work for the Xbox and nothing else without having to wipe everything on it completely.

You forgot to do the penguin sacrifice ritual for St. Lennart this month, didn't you ^:)

Cast aside the false gods, find the true light!
Install gentoo

Have you tried systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service?

Since I can't boot into Linux I can only type it directly into GRUB which does nothing. Spits out "unknown command"

when pinging my new modem-router there are ping spikes like pic related every 30~ seconds. it means the modem is faulty right? since I have no problems with my old one.

It's a wired connection. The ping when online gaming is steady and low, the problem it's just these constant spikes.

Get live CD, mount your PCs partitions to /mnt so you got /mnt/bin /mnt/boot /mnt/etc etc., arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash, and journalctl -u systemd-vconsole-setup.service. That's the log of the service.

Before all that you could look if /etc/vconsole.conf is ill formatted, that's the most likely reason for vconsole-setup to fail.

Use chroot unless you happen to use an Arch live CD.

I forgot the Arch before CD, sorry.

Ah, you can specify the dir for journalctl with -D, so easier way would be live CD, mount the thing where your /var/log/journal is and journalctl -D /mnt/var/log/journal -u systemd-vconsole-setup.service.

I'm using Win7 and never upgraded to Win10.

Do any Anons here know how to use WebAssign's LockDown browser without installing Microshaft Winblows on my computer?

A math class I'm taking requires me to bring MY OWN laptop with either Winblows or Fag OS on it to take a required test.

It requires a special anti-cheating browser that won't run on Linux, or any virtual machine.

How do I get past this horseshit?

Where can I buy ebooks without botnet?

One that actually has a big supply and few or none censorship.

Your beat bet would have to use a Win7 laptop and install Linux later when the class is over.

What should I use? My solution now is using different masterpasses (that I memorize) for each important account. Any other innovative ways?

I of beggings.

So, I'm a bit of a retard and maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here, but in order to set up an at home VPN (so my IP isn't exposed over public wifi), could I set up a computer with OpenVPN and just access it? Simply as that?

Why pay for a VPN then? Just to mask your location further, so it seems like you're halfway across the globe?

i stuck a multimeter probe into my pc usb port. not jzmming in. won't turn on. pls ni bully

If you're the only one using a VPN it might hide your location but you still have a persistent identity. If you share a VPN with lots of others they can't link two of your sessions by your IP address alone.

multimeter is fine, pc is fucked.
excuse errors, 3ds

ok, thanks. I'm thinking of purchasing a couple real VPNs and adding openVPN to a computer at home just for mobile security.. Is that the best way to do it?

And one last question. which tor node is best for use in conjunction with a couple VPNs? My reading has told me to avoid exit nodes, and the a bridge would be good for home use so my ISP doesn't come knockin'

That little window that opens up when you click a post number to quote it has disappeared. I tried the usual, like disabling plugins, deleting cookies and such and nothing works. What do?

While I'm at it, let me ask, is the new pic naming convention a watermark too or just gibberish?

In an effort to do homework more efficiently, I'm aiming to screenshot a whole webpage, convert it to ebook format azw3 for me, don't laugh, then transfer it to the ebook. The problem is, when I do so, it appears as one fucklong image, and I can't zoom in enough to even read it.

Should I use Tor or the alternatives? I'm not sure if I read about something saying that Tor was botnet. I would also like to know if there are alternatives that are better.

disregard this
i took the loser route

put all my files on a usb stick and reinstalled without the encryption bullshit

It's binary data. Look in hex editor

pls do not put random stuff in your usb ports, you probably killed one of the controllers by short circuit/overvoltage depending on the mode of the multimeter. Get a new motherboard/rma it, the rest should be fine.


No, the workspaces are part of the window manager/de. Just switch to another VT and start x there. C-M-F[1-9]

I'm trying to install windows 7 on a laptop that came pre-installed with windows 10 because it's literally impossible to install linux on it.
now the fucking windows 7 setup says it experienced an error whenever I run the iso.
I'm becoming increasingly worried that I bought a windows 10 machine AKA a piece of shit.

What's Holla Forumss official VPN of choice? Or top 5, I'm looking into getting a couple. And my best bet to purchase one is probably with bitcoins through TOR, right?


I mean my best attempt yet has been individually cropping it into sections with GIMP, then exporting each as a pdf, then using pdftek to connect them into one pdf .. Takes a little bit though.

I know there's gotta be a faster way though using pdftk or something, and splitting the image at certain dimensions, then saving it as one page by page pdf all with a few commands, but I just can't find anything on it.


take what I say with a grain of salt, but from what I've heard you can adjust settings so it's not botnet. And what are the alternatives here? I2P, freenet?

every time i plug a usb i cant move or delete files because of some permission problem. i look it up and used the terminal to do something and after deleting my files and restarting, it worked. but only to that usb, it tried using another usb and i can move any file in it.

i followed some guides and used df -Th , dsfsck commands and so. and still nothing. the usb drive still says its read-only
is there a permanent fix to this?

im using xfce mint 18

pls help

just download them for free m8

take a look at
torrentfreak.com/vpn-anonymous-review-160220/
and
thatoneprivacysite.net/

then select 5 to your liking and then do a more in-depth research about them, with reviews and whatnot

Not directly, but there are two ways of doing something like that.
- Running a different X server and window manager on each TTY, and switching with ctrl+alt+F1,2,3...
- Running an instance of Xephyr on each workspace, each with its own window manager

You won't be able to move windows from one manager to another in either case.

I read the torrent freak article ( and the page on the wiki), but I know those vendors also pay to get on there. Thanks for the second link though, user-san.

Have you tried chmod?

Your fucked. You could chmod 777 or whatever the flash drive so it's all free and shit but that may screw over some other shit.

What filesystem? Is the fileystem`s driver installed?

installed where? in the usb? how could i know?

Look up what?

In the kernel. Install and run gparted. Then change the device to your thumb drive. Next check the recognized FS against the supported OS. If it isn't supported install the driver(s) listed. Finally replug in the thumb drive and it should all be fine.

Is there any way of Windows XP managing to work on an Intel Pentium G3260 processor and an GIGABYTE H81M-DS2 motherboard? Bootup gives me a BSOD and reboots on these specs.

How do I enable usb 2 support in GNU/Linux (Void, running kernel 4.7.2_1/4.6.6_1)? Only usb 3 port's seem to be recognized. Also I can't downgrade to a lower minor version as it a freest install, however I can go back to previous Kernel versions. I remember both working before I reinstalled.

Is it possible to make another user (or /home) on USB? Example, that I can log into another user when I plug in an USB?

Yes, you can just bindmount the home dir:
mount --bind /media/usb/other_user /home/other_user

Yesterday my 2TB external suddenly stopped being recognised and came up with option to format everytime I tried to open it.

I do not wish to format as it was almost full last time I checked.

Is there any way to recover/reinstate the disk?

I installed microG on my CM phone to fix a parking app my school put out, but it broke one of my games that was working fine when I had no gapps whatsoever. Currently I have to uninstall gsmcore to play the game or reinstall to use the parking app. Is there any way I can trick specific apps into thinking there's no microG? I have the Xposed framework if that helps.

May I ask why he did all of this?

I was installing windows and had my crypted hdd plugged in.
Winshit installer detected it as unallocated space and without fucking asking created 350MB NTFS partition at its begining.
Now it can't be accecesed.
I was using dm-crypt plus LUKS with default settings.
The real key used for encrypting data is held somewhere in metadata and can be accesed with passphrase so I cant't just decrypt the data directly.
I belive while setting up I first encrypted the whole disk then created ext4 file system underneath it.
Any way I can try to recover it?

Here direct link to the revelant thread on >>>/sudo/ `s home page >>>/sudo/4824
This will be messy as hell but how about a VM?

Is it FAT32? That filesystem needs root permissions.

I guess you mean XP is not salvageable then...
Well I only got Ubuntu on my PC atm. Can you suggest something?
I'm planning to get Win7 on it anyways and start a VM from there.

Yes, I can recommend getting a flame thrower and cremating that Ubuntu. Then replacing the ashes with a rolling release distro e.g. Void or Gentoo so that you can use PCI-E passthrough, which means that you wouldn't have to go through messing around with dual boot.
Windows 7 is a fine choice and the only sane one left. The torrent thread has several posts with .iso`s already setup with mainly gaming in mind.

A question for you: I recently installed Linux Mint 18 alongside Wangblows 8 (against my will), and encrypted my home folder, for obvious reasons. After the install I realized I had chosen opposite sizes for the home and OS partition, and fixed it via gparted from the live USB.

Now, both Windows and Mint still work fine, but when booting, Linux Mint asks for a key to read the hard drive, as if I had used full disk encryption. This did not happen before resizing and moving the partitions.

Although this is not that large of an issue, it is still kind of annoying, because it also asked me for the key during a program installation.

My user password works to get by this.

Does anyone here know what might have caused this, or how to fix it?

I want to be a systems administrator. I'm 18 and work at a fast food place... I'm a chef at wendy's. I'm not a retard I just need to know where to even begin

I've been trying to fix an error that crashes qtox. I tracked down the error but then found that it was already solved:

github.com/qTox/qTox/issues/2173
github.com/qTox/qTox/commit/f79bb2402436ca51849233577dcba63368536800

I checked my packages and I'm using the latest qtox package (f05b7e0) from 8-17-2016. Yet it still exhibits the same behaviour as before the fix. If I clone the repo I can see that it includes the codefix.

I'm thinking either:

Why wouldn't the latest build be based on the latest code?

Is there a way to see what code the build is based on?

Do I really need to clone and build from source?

Hello Holla Forums,

I am wondering if you could tell me if there is an "expiry" date for data stored on an external HD? Will an ext.HD that was placed in the back of a drawer for ten years still maintain the integrity of the data? What about twenty? Does periodic use of said drive pose risks?

Let's say you have in your possession an unspecified amount of data which you consider priceless and whose integrity you wish to ensure into the distant future; Would copying it on an external HD be a viable solution? Are there any threats that could cause the data to be wiped out besides someone manually accessing it? How would you go about to ensure the long-term survival of said data?

Your help is much appreciated.

Mechanical/magnetic hard drives are generally untrustworthy. But for cold storage they can last quite a long time. I have drives that almost never get used that have data from 1993, still good.

If you were to rely on hard drives for storage, and REALLY REALLY need it to last for sure for 20 years. I would mirror it across several drives in several locations, and store them in a dry cool area, maybe underground.

Magnetic tapes are better

And this thread has some info

I have a single-board computer (arduino something I got as a gift) and I want to have it control the temperature and humidity of a mushroom growth chamber. Already have sensors.

The program itself is trivial, but is it possible to put an arduino in control of a humidifier and heating pads that aren't designed for accepting input from such a SCB? I don't mind destroying them but only if it's easy to do. Or is there a piece of hardware that can put the arduino in control of the power to the humidifier and heating element?

I'm getting pic related while trying to install Linux on my thinkpad yoga 14. Secureboot is disabled and I have UEFI boot on (using BIOS gets me nowhere and this is a UEFI capable distro). Did I get a bad ISO or is this on the computer?

That's usually a problem with how you prepared the boot media. How did you prepare it?

Which distro are you trying to install?

No way of us telling whether it's a bad ISO or not. The best way to figure that out is if you verify the checksum. Do that first

i recently managed to grab a refurbished notebook with decent specs for quite cheaply and i plan to promote her as my daily goto piece of hardware. unfortunately she is full white and looks like a fucking macbook reject.

i always despised sticking anykind of fucking faggy sticker on a notebook, but now im thinking about applying some plain boring black foil onto it to protect it somewhat from fingerprints and make it look less gay...

are these bloody stickers removeable, in case i want to sell this machine later? does it even worth bothering myself with it?

Depends where you get it from. I got a phone wrap from dbrand and it was completely removable, didn't even leave any sticky crap behind to be cleaned off. Cheaper wraps might be of a lower quality though, so they might take more effort to remove and clean the residue from

I used dd. Now that I think about it, I don't remember unmounting the USB drive when I dd'd it. I may just be suffering from retard syndrome.

Did you dd it to /dev/sdX or to /dev/sdX1?

I think I am going to lose all my files unless I can figure this out. Trisquel suddenly stopped mounting anything at all, even the hdd when booting up. I have a Trisquel USB stick, and have unlocked the encrypted hdd, but when I open it, it tells me that I don't have permission to see the contents even though the password was correct. Anyone know how to deal with this? I looked online and only found answers on how to move files to an restricted folder, but nothing on having permission to look inside it.

That probably means that your current account doesn't have the right permissions. Try running "sudo -i" in a terminal and then navigating to the drive or opening a file manager through the terminal.

How is your file manager called? Open console,
sudo $filemanager
Looks like nautilus?, so sudo nautilus

Thanks. All that's in there is a 220 byte binary. But it states that there are 50GB of content that is supposed to be here. I'm not sure if I should give up or of there still is a chance to recover the files. All the important stuff is in my other backup hard drive, all that I lost now is some homework papers and some textbooks. The hard drive was encrypted with LUKS by the way, I don't know if something wrong happened to it or something.

The whole problem occured when I tried mounting a flash drive, and the OS told me it couldn't do that. Then I tried hooking up my external hard drive and that failed to mount too. Upon restarting the computer, it failed to mount anything at all.

What important things do you need desktop for? Just curious.

I only put some temporary shit on there and use terminal a lot, so it wouldn't even be a big deal for me. Desktop gets used a lot less on loonix, in my experience.

No, just /dev/sdb. Actual command was Sudo dd if=/home/mike/Downloads of=/dev/sdb

That part is fine, then, so it was probably just that you left it mounted like you said.

Whenever I do that, it tells me device busy... but who knows, maybe it didn't do that for

How do I view the checksum of a file in Windows 7? (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, etc.)

Normalfag question here. What is the safest (free) way to download a Youtube video.

Hey man, thanks for the quick response! Downloaded testdisk and I'm not sure how I would go about recovering a partition from here. It seems like there is no straightforward means to do so, but I do know for a fact that the files on the external are accessible through data recovery

I just ran a chkdsk on the drive in question, and it came back with no errors. Now however, the drive is returning a 'I:\ is not accessible. The perameter is incorrect' message, and the drive is still resistant to any attempts to view it's contents.

clipconverter.cc/

What about en.savefrom.net or www.youtube-mp3.org?

youtube-dl is definitely the best program for downloading videos. It works with most sites, not just YouTube. Unfortunately, it's command-line-only, but once you learn how to use it, you'll never want to use those crappy website converters ever again. It's not complicated and there are dozens of tutorials online that will show you how to just install and use the program without having to learn a bunch of stuff about the terminal.

Not only can it download videos, but entire playlists and channels. It can also download video-only and audio-only making it perfect for getting music from YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, wherever.

what's the simplest, no fuss way to install this?


There websites that sell stickers of popular distributions and Libra programs. if you're going to go to sticker route it doesn't have to be overused memes and junk like "this machine kills fascists."
unless you think showcasing your favorite software is also faggy.

Have you tried just downloading the server and looking for a README or something?
nextcloud.com/install/

I didn't see any read me about installing in the zip file I downloaded but they have a manual their site with a big section about installing it.
docs.nextcloud.com/server/10/admin_manual/installation/index.html
I think I'm supposed to unpack it into a specific directory, but I'm not sure. I tried looking at other people install it around you too but they always cut and paste commands without explaining anything. should I just use the snap a package? I considered it but it's not mentioned in the manual.

Install the software they ask for and put it in the root directory of the web server.

Some options: easy 7zip/7zip and QuickHash.

Bumping this.

I want to allow my friends to access my pi for file sharing and nothing else. I know the sftp hidden server that used to run here had that feature, but how would I go about doing it? Results I find just mention chrooting and not disabling commands entirely.
Alternatively, would something like OwnCloud be better for less technical users?

i want to use linux for the following reasons:

from what i've learned so far, i need to understand the following:

i like the idea of using a computer as an extremely powerful tool for carrying out your goals. i'm a recovering addict, and i've always been a nerd, so i want to get really autistic about establishing goals, and achieving them.

the potential problems i have with this include having a sedentary lifestyle, worsening my carpal tunnel condition due to all the typing (i'm really fucking verbose in the first place, as you can see), and it seems time-consuming.

fortunately, i'm a hard worker.

so, give me your input. has anyone here been using linux in a similar way (to organize yourself), and how does it feel to use it?

and is what i want to use linux for realistic? i'm assuming it's more powerful (and more secure/private) than windows.

You don't really need to fully understand them. Literally all you need to know about them is that wget and curl download things, and grep filters things. When you need to download a thing, glance over the wget/curl man pages, and copy as appropriate. Ditto when it comes to filtering with grep. The only command you really need to know is "man", so you can read the man pages. You don't even need to know much about man, because you can run "man man" whenever you want to know more.

and yes Linux is realistic for all of those things. To be honest you don't even need wget/curl/python/bash/regex/grep for any of the tasks you listed, but they're good things to be familiar with if you take this to heart:

Would it be in my best interest to get a bachelors in Computer Information Systems or would I be alright if I get a associate?

Isn't associate's just the first two years of college that is just general education courses such as english and math?

It depends on what courses you take honestly, some associates degrees are more focused than others. I got 2 at the same time but can't decide whether it's worth going back somewhere for a BS myself or not. It would be easier if school didn't cost an entire year's salary in Burgerstan. Fuck loans.

Ban evasion involves changing your IP and possibly clearing cookies to remove any traces of prior visits to said website. The OS you use has nothing to do with this. (You can usually do it from your router without a VPN, but I'll let you figure it out yourself.)

Also, you don't really need to understand wget, curl, etc. all that much. Most of the time you'll be running a few commands in relatively the same manner each time. Once you know the basics of how they work you'll be pretty much set. You'll end up learning more about the commands as you go along.

Busted my ass running through different distros and different burning tools. I finally had success with Ubuntu using dd off of my grill's computer. I'm not sure what happened now, but I really didn't want to have to use Ubuntu. Whatever, though. Thanks for the help anyways.

Returned to Android after a long absence.
Some questions:
1. What are good launchers and themes. Got a Moto G. I hate the standard theme
2. Is there a way to transfer ownership of apps from one google account to another? I recently started over because my old googlemail account was kind of a dumbpheap and my new one is tied to my semi-professional web identity.
3. What's the best Neckbeard approved suite of stuff for like music and browsers and shit. Last time I used PowerAmp and Nakedbrowser. Are they still the hottest guys in town?

And I just remembered:
4. How do I format my SD-Card under android? Or do I have to connect to the PC

Can you guys help me install Steam on Trisquel linux?

I download a .deb package and i extract the content. Now what do I do?

Hey Holla Forums!

How can I pirate a copy of Windows 7? What will I need and how can I do it?

what
Whatever, you manually install deb packages by opening the terminal and dpkg -i thing.deb


dd works in 99% of cases. If the thing tells you device busy, the device is mounted, so umount it beforehand.

Sorry that I sound so beginner-ish, but is Steam not supported on trisquel linux?

It's just weird installing proprietary software on hardline free software distros, nothing more. And I'm pretty sure steam is only properly supported on mainline Debian derivatives. May work on Trisquel, but it's not guaranteed.

No proprietary software is supported on Trisquel. If you don't mind using proprietary software, why are you not using a distro that supports proprietary software?

Are you doing this just to taunt rms?

Others in this thread are a bit confused over you installing Trisquel over steam since Trisquel was made for the sole purpose of containing only free software. You can indeed install Steam on Trisquel, but extracting the archive file isn't how you do that, so I hope you still have that .deb file.

What you want to do is go to the folder where the steam.deb is located and right click on a blank space in that folder and click "Open in terminal", this will open a terminal that is in the same directory as your steam.deb file. What you will then want to do is type in "sudo dpkg -i steam.deb"

Obviously the name of the file isn't going to be steam.deb, but just type in the name of the actual .deb file which includes steam inside. If the name of the file is very long, you only need to type in the first three or so letters, and then can hit the tab button to autocomplete.

Yes, thank you very much for the help. I'm sorry for the confusion. The only reason I wanted to install steam was to be connected to my friends. I managed to install it eventually, but I removed it and now I'm chatting with my friends using steam browser.

So in the past week I found myself unable to subtitle movies.
I'm a spic who's well versed in the ways of understanding english so I stopped using subtitles quite a while ago because those were more of a distraction but suddendly every now and then I feel the desire to add subtitles.

I normally use Xmedia Recode for almost everything but I was unable to subtitle the movies. I mean I add the subtitle track and VLC finds it but I can't get that on my TVs and Blu-Ray and is not really .srt incompatibility since as said is literally the first time this happens to me it was never a problem before.

Also for some reason I can't hardcode anymore on Xmedia, a thing I swear was able to and then converts the .srt into ugly mov codec text subtitles.
I tried Muxing the shit out of it, failed to play in other devices.
Use Yamb and mp4box... failed.

The only one I know doesn't fail is Handbrake but shit doesn't copy the video file instead renderises it and mid low tier PC can't render 3000kb/s for 2 1/2 hours movie.

The real problem here is that is the first time I have this problem, like if the ability to subtitle was erased from my mind.

From what I understand, certain chipsets automatically have a tone control in alsamixer, but mine doesn't seem to pick one up no matter what.

Goal: I have a dumb USB-powered light that I got as a gift. I figured I'd hack it to only light up when a certain condition is fulfilled, like I have a new email or something.

Problem: I can't control it from Ganoo + Loonix userspace.

I looked it up and got some shit on Stack Overflow about echoing things to /sys//bus/usb/devices/(hub)/power/control but that doesn't work because it's a dumb device. Linux can only request that it suspend itself and the device responds when it's ready.

So I did some more digging and found some Japs that did something similar by using an external USB hub with NEC firmware. They turned the whole hub off with some executable written in C, turning off the devices connected to it. I had one lying around but I couldn't get it to work. Every time I'd run the executable, it would only push the hub's device ID down to bigger numbers, starting at 11 and ending up in the 40's before I gave up.

Does anyone have any experience in this? Here's my lsusb.

So after a long time I just tryed to update my Arch system. When I try to like normal, I get this.

error: i3lock: signature from "Johannes Löthberg >" is unknown trust:: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/i3lock-2.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)).Do you want to delete it?

What do I do?

What's in your /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf ? It could be that the keyservers you use are down.

Here's some I grabbed from Wikipedia.

Thanks, user. I was surprised how difficult it was, though. Had to install Python because qpaeq was the closest thing I could find.

I know I'm doing this a long and very retarded way, but I'm just checking to see if the logic will even work, however this piece of shit won't even run. For reference, it's SICP exercise 1.3. Pick two of three biggest numbers, and return their squared sum. I'm trying to do it by comparing the three sum different combinations.

(define (bigguy a b c) (cond (and (> (+ a b) (+ a c))) (cond (and (> (+ a b)(+ b c))) (* (+ a b) (+ a b))) (and (> (+ a c) (+ a b))) (cond (and (> (+ a c) (+ b c))) (* (+ a c) (+ a c))) (else (* (+ b c) (+ b c)))))

Drop some of those lines from my post after the first keyserver line, minus the parentheses of course. Maybe it's just a hiccup from sks-keyservers.

Trisquel user. Once I've compiled QT, where do I find it?

The libraries? Probably /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, or somewhere in the build tree, depending on whether you installed it or not.

That didnt work . I'm quite lost here.

I own an SSD with windows 7 on it, and a hard disk with files on it.

If I were to install linux on the SSD, and then steam, on what device would I be able to install the games on? the SSD or the HDD.

I'm using linux trisquel and porn sites don't work anymore. More exactly, there's a white screen that I can right click on. I have flash installed, and not even that fixed it. I'm using firefox, can you guys help?

Youtube works fine, and that's what angers me.

Either one.
You would either partition the SSD, or the HDD depending on which you want to use.

Partitioning is just a way to split the usage of a storage device to virtually be like two devices.

Another question I have is once I installed a tar.gz file how do I access the program that I installed?

wat
You normally install programs through your package manager (on Ubuntu/Debian/Linux Mint it is apt).

If you install it through some process that involves "make install" it gets installed in a similar way to other programs and you can run it in the same way as other programs. You can even delete the (unpacked) .tar.gz in those cases.

It's also possible there's just an executable inside which you can run by clicking on it in the file manager.

All the android emulators I download end up disabling aero on start. Windows 7 64 bit, gtx780, 8GB RAM and it5-3570k.

Flash is cancer and you don't need it. Install youtube-dl. Don't install it from your package manager, install it from github (you want the latest version).

Then you can run
vlc $(youtube-dl -g VIDEO_URL)
or just
mpv VIDEO_URL
and youtube-dl will find the video source, which will then play in either mpv or vlc

for bonus fapping efficiency I have a one-liner script I use called clipvlc
#!/bin/bashvlc $(youtube-dl -g $(xclip -selection clipboard -o))
go to porn, copy the url into the clipboard, and run the above, and the video will automatically play in VLC

My regex sucks. Does anyone know how to filter all posts by namefags?

So, which Windows version should I install for my Gayming computer? This one is long-term planned, it has a a GTX 980.

I strongly recommend against Windows, but if you use it you're probably best off with Windows 7 and 8ch.net/tech/w7tele.html.

So do I just download lastest version of Windows 10 Pro?

Hell if I know, I don't use that crap

Do you know where can I find tips anyway?

I had Windows 10 installed before but it restarted automatically for (((updates))). So I'm not sure how to manage it correctly.

Thanks a lot, not the solution I wanted but I didn't thought on that before.

I don't think is that because it was a pretty rare file that I had to wait to anyone every certain days to connect and give 5%. But suddendly exceeds my connection speed.

The second time it was a file I already had downloaded (At normal speed in my own PC) and again exceeded the speed of that connection.

Besides, it doens't matter how many seeders there are, once it reaches my own speed limit it doesn't accepts more but just keeps them waiting in line in case anyone retires.

The only similitude berween the files is that it was the first qbittorrent download in both PC's.

Looking for a lightweight (gui) audioplayer that isn't deadbeef. i'm using xfce.

Yeah, sorry if i didn't make myself clear. I just need something with a basic playlist for common audio files: flac, mp3, opus, ogg, etc. It's for an old X60 Thinkpad.

Hey again Holla Forums,

is Intel My WiFi a botnet or is it safe to use?

My other question would be whether Bluetooth is actually safe to use. I've never used it before.

Well, it depends on Windows being installed so... I'll let you figure that one out

No, it'll give you cancer and slaughter your firstborn as an offering to the gods
yes it's fine

Nvidia proprietary drivers, by any chance?

AMD, I have a 390X.
No idea what went wrong, just that it did, and I still get screen tearing on 17.3 because I don't know how to install their proprietary drivers, and I don't want to break anything.
I tried booting from recovery mode for linux, and was told that 'The X server wouldn't start' because 'The MDM wasn't properly configured' or something, but when I searched that, I didn't get any relevant results.

Ah. For nvidia's proprietary drivers, the usual solution to append "nomodeset" to the kernel line when booting, and see if it that makes it work. Maybe it'd be the same with AMD's drivers? I never used AMD though so I don't know

I tried that, got the same response I posted about how I shouldn't boot until the MDM was configured properly.

My mainboard is a Foxconn H61MXE, my dedicated graphic card is an R7 260, which has a DVI-D, a DVI-I and 2 HDMI outputs. The two monitors have VGA input, and I have one connected to the DVI-I output.
Obviously I can't use an adapter to connect the other monitor to the DVI-D port, so my question is: Can I make it work by using one monitor connected to the R7 and the other monitor connected to the integrated VGA port? Or is my only choice to buy a VGA-HDMI adapter and connect both to the R7?

How do I convert videos to 8 mb webms easily on linux?

This is probably a stupid question, but how can I get i3 to start automatically on login?

Right now after a login I just get a single terminal window which I have to launch i3 manually from

has anyone noticed anything odd with startpage recently? has ads in the left pane and now converts or translates your search for you like google. is there any good search engine alternative that doesnt store or sell your information?

How do you think search engines make money?

ffmpeg -i input.vid -b:v 250k -b:a 32k -threads 4 -cpu-used:v 1 output.webm
Play around with the bitrates, but generally you want to keep the audio bitrate below 64k and the video bitrate below 300k, depending on the length and content of the video.

I don't think so. You'll have to get either adapters, a new gpu, or a new monitor to make it work.

is there any way I can get it to adjust video (and to a lesser extent audio) bitrate depending on the video's duration, and output the highest value possible for 8 mb?

I want to switch to Linux. Which distro should I get? Is there one that is highly customisable but also not really difficult to use?

I need to make a Windows XP repair install because of a recent hardware change (socket change in motherboard, CPU change and RAM change) that gives me a BSOD.

What files can I save from my HDD (I can still access it from the other OS I got on my dual boot) so I have a minimally fucked up registry, as well as keeping most of my system settings intact?

Okay guys, having issues that I have never experienced before in my life so I'm hoping you guys can provide some advice/input.


What you reckon is at fault here guys? The PSU?

is there a way to turn off LED lights in my headset because I couldn't find any option in the headset software. it's a ds502 btw

just started a new 8ch board

anyone here know how to lock and sticky threads?

I had a look at the 8ch faq but I couldn't see any info.

Access the board through the mod panel. In the URL bar, rewrite 8ch.net/board/index.html to 8ch.net/mod.php?/board/index.html. That way you get access to the post controls. You can do that to threads too, but not to the catalog.

Some of them are more customizable than others, but at that point you're looking at really technical customization that wouldn't be meaningful to you yet.

I recommend Xubuntu.

searx.me/ is nice. FOSS, so there are a lot of instances and you could even host your own. It's a meta-search engine though, so if you're the only one using your instance it doesn't help much with privacy.

thks techbro

am getting

" a captcha was requested but you didn't enter one "

when trying to post a new thread

but no captcha is prompted, so its impossible to enter.

this looks like an 8ch error, anyone know ho to fix?
thks

Which board?

Hello PC noob here. I have 4 gb of ram but i need to upgrade my PC to 8 gb. How do i know what and which ram is suitable for my PC? I dont know shit

download cpu-z

check if your ram is ddr2 or ddr3

buy 8gb of the appropriate kind

don't mix and match ram sticks

oh and don't buy ECC ram

This is it?

what the fuck does this mean. Do i mix ram stick or match them?

I would assume, don't get ones that are of different brands and have different specs (voltage,speed and hight), get/apply them in sets. Nice trips

Check those quads

Or not

Anyone know where I can download a copy of Win7? I'm looking to get it for free somehow. Torrents or official copies are fine.

Google win 7 torrent. click the first one

Done

you retarded fuck

Was hoping Holla Forums had, you know, knowledge on a reliable OS torrent that maybe wasn't fucked with.

Click the "Verification" field.

If you search hard enough on google, you can find a list of md5sums for legit versions. Compare those with the ones you see on the pirate bay, and you might be able to find a clean copy

Is there a way or a software I can use to get the same location ip adress any time I connect through VPN or any other method ?

Use the index instead of the catalog.

Yeah that's the original reason that bat script was made. I just added in the other stuff later. It's kinda shit and I have to have it run automatically on every network connect because otherwise it doesn't "stick".

What the hell is this shit? I have no idea if qt 5.7 developer build compiled correctly. Where would the program be if everything worked? Or did it fail? /usr/local/bin is empty

did you make install?

The instructions tell you nothing about that. It says to only do ./configure and make, but not make install.

A typical `configure; make' build process is used.

cd /
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -nomake tests
make -j 4

Let's see if I can figure out the code tags
HOW TO BUILD QT5================ Synopsis ======== System requirements ------------------ - Perl 5.8 or later - Python 2.7 or later - C++ compiler supporting the C++11 standard For other platform specific requirements, please see section "Setting up your machine" on: wiki.qt.io/Get_The_Source Optional requirements --------------------- - OpenSSL for SSL sockets or HTTPS - Wayland New dependencies in Qt 5 ------------------------ Linux: On systems running X11, the XCB libraries are required for the platform plugin to build. qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README lists the required packages. Qt 5 can make use of the ICU libraries providing Unicode and Globalization support (see site.icu-project.org/). They are required for building QtWebKit. On Linux, they will be auto-detected. On Windows, they need to be manually installed and the "include" and "lib" folders of the ICU installation must be appended to the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables after calling the Windows SDK setup script. The "bin" folder of the ICU installation should be appended to the PATH environment variable in order to for the DLLs to be found at run-time. Licensing: ---------- Opensource users: = qt-everywhere-opensource-src- = -opensource Commercial users: = qt-everywhere-enterprise-src- = -commercial Linux, Mac: ----------- cd / ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -nomake tests make -j 4 Windows: -------- Open a command prompt. Ensure that the following tools can be found in the path: * Supported compiler (Visual Studio 2012 or later, MinGW-builds gcc 4.9 or later) * Perl version 5.12 or later [activestate.com/activeperl/] * Python version 2.7 or later [activestate.com/activepython/] * Ruby version 1.9.3 or later [rubyinstaller.org/] cd \ configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase -nomake tests nmake // jom // mingw32-make To accelerate the bootstrap of qmake with MSVC, it may be useful to pass "-make-tool jom" on the configure command line. If you do not use jom, adding "/MP" to the CL environment variable is a good idea. More details follow. Build! ====== A typical `configure; make' build process is used. Some relevant configure options (see configure -help): -release Compile and link Qt with debugging turned off. -debug Compile and link Qt with debugging turned on. -nomake tests Disable building of tests to speed up compilation -nomake examples Disable building of examples to speed up compilation -confirm-license Automatically acknowledge the LGPL 2.1 license. Example for a release build: (adjust the `-jN' parameter as appropriate for your system) ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase make -j4 Example for a developer build: (enables more autotests, builds debug version of libraries, ...) ./configure -developer-build make -j4 See output of `./configure -help' for documentation on various options to configure. The above examples will build whatever Qt5 modules have been enabled by default in the build system. It is possible to build selected modules with their dependencies by doing a `make module-'. For example, to build only qtscript and qtwebkit, and the modules they depend on: ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase make -j4 module-qtscript module-qtwebkit This can save a lot of time if you are only interested in a subset of Qt5. Hints ===== The submodule repository qtrepotools contains useful scripts for developers and release engineers. Consider adding qtrepotools/bin to your PATH environment variable to access them. The qt5_tool in qtrepotools has some more features which may be of interest. Try `qt5_tool --help'. Building Qt5 from git ===================== See wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git and README.git for more information. See wiki.qt.io/Qt_5 for the reference platforms.

Try >>>/a/

make install

To expand on this, it's frustrating because basically it boots to a single urxvt window, and this window *is* the i3 process so if it closes it kills i3

Nobody thinks this is suspicious?

I use a high contrast theme on my Wangblows Gaymen machine, and I really like what it does to Firefox/IceCat/Pale Meme, but unfortunately it breaks uMatrix. uMatrix relies heavily on colors to denote what is allowed or disallowed, and the high contrast theme makes it impossible to discern the difference since everything is black. Can anyone lend advice to mitigate this?

Do you want to use a display manager?

You anons help with anything Hardware related or just software?

So I'm finally replacing my 670 with a 1070 but I'm still running a i7-3930k, anyone know if this will bottleneck the GPU?

There's always going to be a bottleneck somewhere, and if it isn't the CPU, it will be somewhere else. It probably shouldn't worry you too much, since you'll have a really good GPU that you can just put into whatever your next build will be in the future. The performance increase will still likely be significant.

I run an EVGA GT 730 on a Pentium D 820 for reference. The CPU is a bottleneck, but so is the entire motherboard (PCI-e 1.0, DDR2 RAM, etc...). The performance without the card is significantly reduced, and the card is decent enough to where I am maxed out on the current build, and will see a performance increase on whatever my next will be.

Depends how complex the issue is. Just post it, and see if anyone can figure it out

Can someone reply to this post? I've been getting no replies to almost everything that I want to make sure I'm not shadowbanned or some weird ass shit.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Thanks user, while we are on the topic of GPUs I have noticed a heap of new monitor syncing technologies.
Are there any other than freesync / g-sync that help for framerates below the refresh rate without just turning on v-sync?

...I think it was better when I thought I was somehow shadowbanned. But thanks.

Third and final bump for in hope of a answer.

It could be closer to links to sucide hotlines?

The servers may be absolutely shit but I don't think shadow banning is a thing here. However it is most likely that the number of anons who can answer questions are far less than the number of askers. This is most likely true everywhere else.

Would appreciate any help I could get
I have a computer with a intel dQ965CO motherboard and an always 100% cpu fan. I want to set it up so my little sister can have a real computer and not an ipad.

In the bios there at one point was an option for fan response, but not any more. I can only toggle fan detection at boot (which doesn't seem to change much). I tried updating the bios but it failed at updating the intel ME.

Other things to note sometimes the bios will freeze, and I remember in the past I was able to set fan cooling profiles (aggressive/slow), but after freezing they have gone away.

I have tried CMOS resets and setting defaults.

Don't worry about it. Bottlenecking isn't as big an issue ricers make it out to be.

yeah that's it

"mix and match" means taking mixed parts and trying to match them up. don't do that, buy a matching set from the start. mismatched ram doesn't always cause issues but when it does it can be a pain in the ass.


i know some freesync implementations can use frame doubling to always meet the minimum refresh rate, i don't know about gsync

Shadowbanning doesn't exist on Holla Forums, unless it's a super secret feature that not even global volunteers have access to.

If you think you're shadowbanned somewhere, visit the page with the Tor browser bundle. It can't possibly know you're the same person so if you're shadowbanned it won't show your post.


Are you saying that this GNU can run on a computer without linux underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?

That sounds preposterous to me.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a linux. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that linux is more than just Open Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.

The Linux Foundation just spent $9 billion and many years to create Ubuntu, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with linux. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and BSD.

Its just not possible that a freeware like the GNU could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer from start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of Linux. Not possible.

I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

This, my last build ran worse with 16gb RAM than it did with 8gb because I didn't match sticks. The speed and timings were the same but they refused to play nice together.

That is a cool solution, thanks user.

Thanks, but nothing really happened since I used the -developer-build flag.

I'm not sure where this would be. I think I'm just going to give up and delete this distro and install Justin Bieber OS instead.

Just showing the terminal output is a bit useless. Which directories are there? Is there not a "bin" directory? What about running "find . -executable" within the directory?

ffmpeg -video_size 800x600 -framerate 144.00 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -f alsa -ac 2 -i default output.mkv

i don't understand what's the problem

What are the best anti virus tools for a windows user?

inb4:linux

Hosts file adblock, coupled with a good browser level adblock.

someonewhocares.org/hosts/ is a decent enough hosts file, although there are a couple of other floating around. ublock origin is a good browser plugin.

also a copy of Common Sense Pro 2016 (tm) is always good to have

Wow, dude
Can't find Common Sense Pro 2016, but I did find Current year 2015 (tm)

Addendum: What about to identify and remove if you accidentally got a virus already.

Reformat.

Damn.

Hey Holla Forums.
My friend's android didn't want to boot and I did a serie of thing to make it work but none have worked so far.
To begging with, in recovery Mode it tossed me a something with "e:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)" So I proceeded to try and install the system with Odin, that never went past "Rewrite NAND". So I tried Kies initializing process and never went past 0% either. Any idea what could I do?

So fucking what, did my headphones just magically stop working on Windows 7 now? Fuck off (((Microsoft)))

Yep, you got kiked. Time to buy some new headphones, goy :^)

I want to format a 64GB microSD card that was previously used by a PSP (through an adapter, so it was formatted by the handheld itself) in FAT32 for the n3DS

Linux Mint 18 cant recognize that microSD. What should I do?

Use gparted to format it?

gparted recognized the microSD card in my laptop (through a SD adapter)

Could you explain me how to format the microSD in FAT32/exFAT tho? I'm still pretty new with the linux system.

Everytime I boot up my Ubuntu 16.04 the icons on the desktop reset back to the left and lose the spot I moved it in.
How do I fix it?

How should modifications to "public domain" code be GPL'd? Since you can't claim ownership over the whole document, you would need some kind of disclaimer that the GPL only applies to modifications right?

How would I do that?

After much searching and forum reading I have found nothing but retards while trying to answer this question.
If I have a 144hz monitor and turn v-sync on because I will get drops below 60fps in some game what frequencies will v-sync run at? Does it work in multiples of 30 giving me 120, 90, 60 and 30 fps?

Incase it matters I'm running a Asus 1070 OC.

That doesn't make any sense. vsync doesn't run at a particular frequency. vsync means that your monitor will wait for the current frame to finish drawing before it begins to draw the next frame

My experience with v-sync has only been on 60fps monitors and I can tell you that if you drop below 60fps it will drop you straight to 30 fps to keep in-time with the monitor.
vsync doesn't talk to the monitor at all so I can't see how it can tell my monitor to wait for the next frame.

How does gmail know what OS I'm using?

Because of your user agent. It's a string your browser sends to the website to allow it to deal with browser and operating system incompatibilities.

You can usually change it in the settings or use an extension to change it.

Slight off-topic perhaps, but I believe "frame doubling" is referred to as interpolation.

Vsync isn't necessarily a frame limiter, those imo are better. Vsync will enforce a particular framerate to keep GPUs from going over that target and producing double or triple frame "tearing". The problem is that in times of great demand, if your GPU can't keep up with the target framerate that is being enforced, input lag is introduced and you have that "slowing" effect I'm sure you've seen.


With a low-end GPU OR a high-refresh rate monitor, I would turn Vsync OFF. It is unlikely that your GPU will outpace the refresh rate of that monitor. A frame limiter would achieve what you're aiming for without unnecessary input lag. But again, you probably won't need it, since 144fps is a very high target.

This sounds like your referring to FreeSync/Gsync. With vsync, the monitor doesn't *wait* for anything, the refresh rate is a constant. With new syncing tech (FreeSync/Gsync) the GPU is able to control the refresh rate of the monitor, which means a monitor with said tech has a variable refresh rate, which is what you seem to be describing.

So I have an nvidia GPU and a Radeon GPU in the same machine. I have installed drivers for both, but only the nvidia card works. I want to output more monitors form the Radeon one, and the internet tells me it's possible without telling me how to do it. If anyone can tell me how to get this fucking shit working in Wangblows I'd appreciate it.

I installed a root certificate once in order to get access to wifi, now I have some questions:

Could they decrypt SSL? If I remember correctly I verified that the certs on some popular sites were the correct ones, i.e. no mitm on those sites.

I since switched from Windows to Linux, did the pozzed certificate transfer over?

If you get the correct certificates they can't MitM you. You'd have to check for every visit, though.

The certificate can't transfer from one operating system to another.

No one in these threads knows scheme?

Plz bros, this has been bothering the shit out of me for over 2 weeks.

Is it possible to make another instance of a browser (for example Firefox) with different settings?

I want to have desktop mode, and a completely different mode for sofa computing (where I use gamepad with binder). So I need completely different Zoom levels, User Agent, allowed scripts etc.

Halp? Taking other suggestions also.

Parenthesize your expression correctly:(define (bigguy a b c) (cond ((and (> (+ a b) (+ a c))) (cond ((and (> (+ a b) (+ b c)))(* (+ a b) (+ a b))))) ((and (> (+ a c) (+ a b))) (cond ((and (> (+ a c) (+ b c)))(* (+ a c) (+ a c))))) (else (* (+ b c) (+ b c))) ))cond has the syntax (cond (test1 res1) (test2 res2) ... (else res)). The parentheses matter.

And it's not correct because the two inner cond statements don't have any else part.

Moreover, the SICP exercise asks to returns the sum of the squares, not the square of the sums. Here I use the let binder to make local definitions:(define (bigguy a b c) (let ( (x (+ (* a a) (* b b))) (y (+ (* a a) (* c c))) (z (+ (* b b) (* c c))) ) (cond ( (and (> x y) (> x z)) x ) ( (and (> y x) (> y z)) y ) (else z) ) ))

firefox -ProfileManager?

Will check it out, thanks.

Installed Linux Mint 18 last night, tried a few games. They run good but i notice some screen tearing and it drives me nuts. Is there anyway solution?

any, my bad i really need to proofread before posting

Beginning to learn C today, after toying around with python since Debian comes with it's compiler. I wrote a "hello, world" script, but when I tried to make it print it in the command line, it would only do it when I dragged the output file into the terminal.How do I execute from the terminal itself?

Yes. Which graphics card and drivers do you use?

For a driver-independent solution you can use a compositor with vsync support, but I don't think this is possible with Mint's default desktop environment (and I don't have it installed so I can't test)

Write the source file in some main.c file.
Then you compile it (ie make it into a binary file) by something like:gcc main.c -o foowhere foo is the name you want the binary to have. To execute it, type:./fooThe './' part means the binary is in the current directory.

A program, not a script. It's only semantics, but you probably made some autist's eye start twitching, maybe even a nosebleed or two

Which "hwdec" setting should be used with the latest mpv build?

i use the non-free nvidia-361 drivers

I was hoping you'd say that. Try this command
$ nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
This will enable the setting temporarily, I think until xorg restarts. If the above command fixes your tearing then you can either change a setting in your xorg.conf, or set the command to run automatically upon each login

In theory all of them unless NTFS has corrupted it's self which will then cause either cause read errors or just make files get lost when a disk check is run. However these are unlikely as a BSOD is designed to ensure that the system crashes before any data can be lost.
As for the specifc`s I wouldn't have a single clue, hopefully a search for "system settings" and "registry" plus files will bring results. However you are very likely going to have to restful your dual boot, which thankfully is easy as, (get UBCD and boot your GNU/Linux install. Then reinstall grub and everything should go back to "normal".

Why not let it auto select?

Because with the latest update auto makes it start with a delay of like 30 seconds.
For now I removed hwdec

didn't seem to fix the problem, leaves the terminal blank to. i am fairly new to Linux and so far my experience has been horrible, but when it does work fine its comfy

Forgive me for asking, but did you paste the dollar sign as well? Because you're not supposed to

no i didn't

Different user here, why did you get into linux? What was your previous OS? Are you using linux exclusively or dual boot/vm?

my.mixtape.moe/gqoctb.d

Monitor specs are:
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176112

i did it because from what I've seen and know windows 10 is the biggest pile of shit that I have ever seen, and I had Windows 7 with updates turned off. I installed Manjaro (had windows duel booted with an old version of mint that was sitting there) and it wiped Windows completely while replacing Mint most likely my fault, think I know why. was trying to erase mint now windows. I can no longer boot windows, and trying to access the hard drive from Mint (Manjaro was worse than i remember it so i reinstalled it), i found that it was completely empty. Not sure if it is recoverable (if it is i would appreciate any suggestions). Anyways with Mint i am pirating 7 but since privacy is shit on Windows and the internet might get handed over to the UN, thought I might as well make my self comfy and make Mint into my general browsing OS/light games, while windows will be for games only. So far i have had issues with my mic crackling when i speak into it and I can't find a good browser. Also the few games I've tried have noticeable screen tearing. Firefox is shit, Vivaldi is good but not sure if i can trust it, Icecat doesn't work well on important websites. Wish Cyberfox was supported on Linux. Don't want to make another browser thread.

sorry for the errors, just quickly skimmed over it

Fuck if I know then mate, probably something to do with cinnamon's built-in compositor. Can you be bothered installing a new desktop environment in order to troubleshoot? If so, I can tell you how


Nah you probably won't break anything. Maybe if you fuck around with refresh rates, but not the resolution. Odd how xrandr doesn't work though

Some of your contents may be recoverable. As you should know data is only gone once it is overwritten.
Could try to use a recovery themed distro which comes with proper tools. Knoppix comes to mind.

never installed one before, wouldnt be opposed to trying

If you are still experimenting you could also try a different distro. Remember that distros these days come with various DEs preinstalled so you can pick a different one instead of installing a new one.

should I look on distrowatch? what do you suggest?

I'm just saying that it is easier to install a distro with a certain DE instead of installing a DE on your own.
For desktop use there is only a few distros anyways imo.
If you run on a good machine you can try something fancy like plasma.
Have you looked at
wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/GNU/Linux_ricing#Desktop_Environments ?

why


$ sudo apt-get install xfce4
then logout, and on the login page somewhere there should be an option to select XFCE as your desktop environment

funnily enough i am already using xfce

Same, got a crtc error 0, but hey.
Alright, trying this shit, wish me luck anons.
Pic unrelated, hopefully it'll stay that way.

xfce bros assemble!

What is good software to bind gamepads to functions/keyboard? qjoypad is too limited for my taste

xbindkeys won't into controller.

on Mint? That raises even more questions. Anyway, in that case you don't even need to install a new DE to troubleshoot. Go into your settings, then under window manager settings there should be an option to disable compositing. Then install a new compositor:
$ sudo apt-get install compton
and launch it temporarily like this
$ compton --vsync=opengl
see if that helps


am and I actually really dislike xfce, the only reason I suggested it is because it's noob-friendly and allows compositing to be disabled. To each their own though, I suppose
i3 > all

user, I...

actually as an amendment, you should use --vsync opengl

dunno if compton recognises both, but I've only ever used the latter


if it's a meme, it's even danker than harambe. i3 is fantastic, and anyone who disagrees is wrong

I'll try when I get home

Ncmpcpp won't connect to mpd when I run it as my user, but it will connect to mpd if I run it as root. This sounds like a permissions issue to me, but my user already has read/write permissions for both the .ncmpcpp and .mpd directories. Any ideas? I get the feeling that I'm overlooking something simple.


Get a load of this fag.

Check if there's a mpd-related group in /etc/ group.

I have it set up with no mpd user or related groups. Here's my config files for mpd and ncmpcpp.

.mpd/mpd.conf
music_directory "/home/user/Music/"playlist_directory "/home/user/.mpd/playlists"db_file "/home/user/.mpd/mpd.db"log_file "/home/user/.mpd/mpd.log"pid_file "/home/user/.mpd/mpd.pid"state_file "/home/user/.mpd/mpdstate"audio_output { type "pulse" name "Pulseaudio"}

ncmpcpp_directory = ~/.ncmpcppmpd_host = 127.0.0.1mpd_port = 6600mpd_music_dir = /home/user/Music

Dunno what habbened. put the file as /etc/X11/xorg.config
I do have another thing with xorg.config.d
Pls help me return this shit to normal. Pretty please
JUST.

alright, i did what you said and it seemed to drastically reduce the tearing, its still there but not very noticeable

What is this?

I've been using Linux Mint for over a year now, and I've never seen anything like it. I tried to ctrl+alt+F1 into tty1, and saw nothing but a blank screen (no cursor), despite it working a few days ago. When I went back to tty8 (the main x-session tty on Mint), this notice popped up.

alright, now in xfce settings there should be an option to make things autostart. Autostart compton as "compton -b --vsync opengl". "-b" forks it to the background.

Try killing any active compton processes and restarting it with a combination of the following options enabled, see if any of them work:

compton --backend glxcompton --backend glx --paint-on-overlaycompton --backend glx --paint-on-overlay --vsync opengl-swc

Try adding yourself to the group of the mpd user anyway so you get permission to access (almost) all of its files. If it's just one file you missed giving access to that should catch it.

Something wants to check whether there's something wrong with your HDD or SSD. If you're not running any untrustworthy programs it's probably a good idea to enter your password.

alright there added that command to startup, greatly appreciate it user

Probably worth doing what the other user says as well to see if that makes a difference

Also, any good tutorials to compile something or build it from source? Not sure if I worded that correctly, I heard the process was fairly easy.

Please help.

I can't get curl to work with twitter and I have no idea why
[email protected]/* */-user:/tmp$ curl www.example.com(etc)[email protected]/* */-user:/tmp$ curl www.twitter.com[email protected]/* */-user:/tmp$
It's not a user agent thing either, this is my browser's user agent:

Never had a problem with curl before. Any idea what's going on?

./configure; make; make install

for anything more complex:

congrats you now know how to compile most Linux software

Use curl -L to make it follow redirects.

Now all it gives me is garbage

nevermind, turns out it's just gzipped. Thought that curl would automatically handle it


thanks very much user

hey buddies, I'm looking for some private network like i2p, tor, freenet and other stuff for being the most-secure on my computer

I'm living in a third-world country with many censorship (France), I'm already on GNU+Linux and only free software with disk encryption but I need more. I NEED MORE PRIVACY !

Okay, guy that fucked up his xorg.conf, IF I uninstall xorg-server and then re-install it, It should fix itself right?
respond quick cause i'm going yolo in like, 8 fucking minutes.

Or i can just...remove the xorg conf right? from the recovery mode.

Doing this caused my display to fuck up

Now is it possible, get GRUB to open the system setup for say, a second or so, and then have it run the regular debian shit?
Just wondering if it's possible, not asking for spoonfeeding.

For some wierd reason, my microphone is producing statistic whenever I am talking into it, using Linux Mint 18 xfce

If by statistic you mean static, try with other mics, could just be that.
Even some chintzy 5$ piece of shit should be worthwhile for testing it.

I have had used more expensive microphones that caused the same problem, not sure if it is Alsa or pulsesudio guessing it is likely pulse

8ch's tor address, it worked last time I checked but I lost it

gib

oxwugzccvk3dk6tj.onion
its on the front page you dummy

thanks

i dont see shit

Sorry. --backend glx worked for me once a few installs ago with a similar driver so I though it might work for you.

How do USB hubs work? I have one, 2 recievers plugged in. If I plug in USB drive, it won't work at all until reciever is disconnected. Has 4 slots

BUMP

despite what the autists on Holla Forums would have you believe, pulse works well for most people

Hi Holla Forums

I'm wanting to sell a laptop with windows 10 installed, what should I do to erase all the personal data but still have it be functional?

joytokey, you'll have to buy or pirate a licensed version, but it works for basically anything.

If you still have an install disk just erase everything and reinstall.

It was a free download, I don't have a disk.

That's Windows software. Judging by his mention of xbindkeys, he uses Linux

I got a little HP netbook that was given to me, but the downside is that it runs Windows 10.

I'd like to install Windows 7 on it mostly because my main PC runs 7 and I don't want to jump between Linux and Windows everyday.

Any tips/tutorials would be appreciated.


Separate question. I got a 8gb flash drive on me that appears to be storing 4gb of data, but nothing appears to show up on it. How do I wipe it without causing damage to it?

Alternative to Netflix that isn't botnet (and not pirating or Kodi)?

How can I make a simple program or .bat or something that will restart the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder when run?

Preferably something that's just a line or two in a .txt or something.

Thanks, went with another way that works. It was short, and didn't require defining any new functions.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I'm in need of a bit of advice, and I thought this would be the perfect place to ask. I've searched the net and haven't found anything very helpful. (please ignore all grammatical errors as I'm not the most educated man) That being said ill cut to the chase.I have a Dell xps 400 desktop that some one has installed kali 1.0 on it.(not sure why) Any way I'm looking for a linux dstro that will allow me to view pdf and various format e-books and create word and excel documents via libre office. I was going to install ubuntu but it requires more ram than that the system currently has. I was going to try lubuntu. can anyone recommend anything.
PS the desktop will never be connected to the net
and here is the specs

Thank you for taking time time from your life busy life to help make someones better

Holla Forums told me to fuck off so i'm asking you guys

This is my first time trying to mount an ISO and I don't know if I'm fucking retarded or what.

So I downloaded the files

(drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_0lkQ5bsJ5FTVVlVEc3ckN5Q28)


Loaded up daemon tools and managed to set up the virtual drives for each of the images, and upon beginning the install it starts gets through a few files and gives me an error.

The Readme says something about installing from the highest lettered drive, but I can't make a drive with a higher lettering than my physical CD drives.

So I mean, whatever help is appreciated.

and you can also play the game yourself I guess. If you're into that.

Okay, I can't get any audio at all.
Not from headphones, not from monitor speaker, jack diddly shit.
Alsamixer only let's me go backward, into negative dbs, or using command line, gives tells me that pulse told it that it had some server error.
How fix?

Noted, though the computer turned out fine after I unplugged and replugged it.
I was using voltage mode, so I suppose that saved it.

uninstall pulse you shouldnt have that anyway its more trouble than good

So I installed Linux Mint (duel booted with windows 7), works fine I suppose. But I cannot load into Windows 7 anymore nor can I access the files. Did I somehow kill it or did something go wrong?

Pic related is it dead?

How come sys.8ch.net is very slow, takes a long time to update, and sometimes even fails to load boards when 8ch.net is fast and has no 5 minute post update lag? Is the https version of this site like that for you guys as well?

not exactly sure what to do

ah nevermind, figured it out, but now i have this issue.

fuggen meme os

oh wait I fixed it, by going into the advanced boot options menu by pressing F8 and then trying the option "Last known good configuration", bam it just werks

This is more of a general question.
Where do you store your files? Especially on a windows system.

I'm recently confronted with a lot of document files and I don't know how to organize them properly.

there's no reason these should be different on the same browser on two different computers right?

use poweriso m8. right click you're imaeg, mount to virtual drive, done. smh.

Just a simple, quick question; Is Lubuntu a good fork of Debian, or should I look elsewhere?

It's not really a fork of Debian. It is good, though, especially if you're looking for something lightweight and (new-)user-friendly.

Sweet, thanks for the help.
Would it be more appropriate to say its a fork of Ubuntu, rather than Debian then?

Not that either. It's Ubuntu with different packages installed by default. I usually call it a "variant" but there might be better words.

And Ubuntu is based on Debian, but not a fork of it. It takes Debian and modifies it without permanently splitting off. Each new version is rebased on Debian.

But all of that is terminology stuff that doesn't really matter.

Windows has this program for remapping mouse buttons and keyboard per program.

highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm

Does linux have something equal that isn't too much hassle to set up? I want to remap enter to space and mouse scroll down to left click. In single program inside XFCE, not systemwide.

I CANNOT boot from USB in windows 10.

then
nothing
nothing

Normal windows 10 starts, everytime.

Please help, I just want linux to escape shilldows datamining.

Nevermind boyz, I've done it!
I had to go into "system configuration" in UEFI and F6 the legacy boot thingy or whatever it was called (in addition to the secure boot disabled).

Thank you Holla Forums.

It's not with Daemon Tools I get the error. The error I get is in the game's actual installer saying something about an error in the data move process.

Clickbank alternative that lets you cash out in btc?

preferably one that's easy on the bans for spam reports.

I'd like software for saving chan threads, including both html and images.

I have used Chan Thread Watch for this
sites.google.com/site/chanthreadwatch/

But as of the deduplication update, CTW no longer finds images. It's not supported by the creator, so it won't get an official update.

What are good alternatives?

Alternatively, how tricky would it be to edit the code of a program like CTW to make it look in the new place for images? I opened some of the .cs source files in Notepad and they aren't too big and don't look too complex, but I'm not a programmer and can only guess at which parts do what, let alone modify them beyond fiddling with numerical values. I've posted a sample at the end of this post to illustrate what it's like. I'm assuming this is the bit that checks when a new copy of the thread needs to be downloaded, because it's from the frmDownloads.cs file and "ticks" sounds like the second count between checking the thread.

CTW isn't perfect anyway, even beside the new issue with Holla Forums, because it has had the same inability to find 4chan images for a while, fails to notice when 420chan threads have been pruned/deleted (so it will overwrite saved threads with the html of the 404 page), and ignores deleted posts (overwriting older threads with new copies after the post has been deleted). So even if CTW can be fixed, new options that save both html and files would be nice.

I think the ideal for me would be a version of the FoolFuuka archive software that I can run as a regular program, not on my own server, and just saves specific threads. It manages to spot deleted posts and not overwrite them, just note them as deleted.

Sample of CTW code follows:
long ticksNow = TickCount.Now;long totalDownloadedSize = 0;long minTotalDownloadedStartTicks = Int64.MaxValue;downloadProgresses.Sort((a, b) => a.StartTicks.CompareTo(b.StartTicks));foreach (DownloadProgressInfo info in downloadProgresses) { List snapshotList; if (!_snapshotLists.TryGetValue(info.DownloadID, out snapshotList)) { snapshotList = new List(); snapshotList.Add(new DownloadedSizeSnapshot(info.StartTicks, 0)); _snapshotLists[info.DownloadID] = snapshotList; } while (snapshotList.Count != 0 && ticksNow - snapshotList[0].Ticks > 5000) { snapshotList.RemoveAt(0); } snapshotList.Add(new DownloadedSizeSnapshot(ticksNow, info.DownloadedSize)); int iLast = snapshotList.Count - 1; long size = snapshotList[iLast].DownloadedSize - snapshotList[0].DownloadedSize; long ticks = snapshotList[iLast].Ticks - snapshotList[0].Ticks; long? bytesPerSec = null; if (size > 0 && ticks > 0) { bytesPerSec = Convert.ToInt64(size / (ticks / 1000.0)); } int iFirstForTotalWindow = iLast; for (int i = 0; i < snapshotList.Count; i++) { if (ticksNow - snapshotList[i].Ticks

Puppy linux sounds like what you would want considering its low system requirements

...

That doesn't allow you to open picture(s) to their full size when the thread dies. Also moving them to the revelant folder in the Overchan save doesn't work either.

Seriously, there's so many pieces of software for this, in particular for just grabbing the images, that it's inexcusable to think just Save As on the html is a solution for long enough to post a reply.

Is it possible to use my hosts file to automatically redirect any website that uses http to https automatically rather than use https everywhere?

No, a hosts file only lists IP addresses for domains. https and http are protocols, which are not part of the domain.

It is possible to do this but you have to filter all requests through a local daemon. I don't remember what it's called. It's not particularly simple.

So, Holla Forums

My PC keeps making the device connected/disconnected sound. I noticed that my SATA cables aren't exactly fitted into my HDD as tightly as they could be. I was wondering if that could be what's causing this sound. If not that, then what else could it be? Loose GPU? I don't have anything plugged into my USB drives except my mouse, keyboard, and an xbox controller, and they're all working fine.

Do you have the hot plug capability enabled? It more likely that both of your suggestions are true.

I'm not sure, how would one go about enabling/disabling such a feature? I am on windows 7

So, any good reason why my question was deleted? My quick reply window is gone, but only in some boards for some reason. Deleting 8ch cookies didn't help.

Only a mod can really answer that, because you didn't tell the rest of us which your question was. Support questions are to stay in this thread, so if you posted it elsewhere that could be why. Nice gif.

Does your post number show up in the log?
8ch.net/log.php?board=tech
If you posted it a while ago in this thread it probably got pruned automatically because the thread is cyclical. It capped at 400 replies, and new ones push the old ones off.

To fix your quick reply window try deleting your local storage, that's where Holla Forums's settings get saved.

And how am I supposed to listen to jack shit then?
What are good alternatives to Pulse Audio?

It should be in your BIOS, in hopefully the same area as the power supply option for each SATA port.

Often when I load webpages I see it's also loading content from facebook.com, twitter.com and similar.

Why does this happen? "1k people Like this" boxes? "Share on Facebook" buttons? Articles with comments from Facebook? Tracking which pages I visit via cookies? Any other reasons?

How can I block those sites that track me across other sites and waste my bandwidth on crap I don't give a shit about?

Ideally I'd like to not block facebook comments from being displayed on articles that use that system, and I'd like to be able to visit the sites if I actually try to visit their pages, but other than that I don't want them loading during my browsing. I'd be willing to sacrifice those two functionalities too, if the only way to block them means having to use a different browser when I do want a function from them.

Also, which other sites do the same kind of needless bandwidth use just to track me or otherwise not improve my user experience?

Don't listen to the autists, pulse works fine for 99% of people. What's the error?

Noscript addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/

Thank you. I'll experiment and see which one works for me, starting with NoScript.

How well is the arch linux user respository maintined? Is it something I can trust to not be malicious versions of legit software? I want to get some games like openareana and quake and alien areana and not sure if I can trust the arch user repository.

The AUR just contains scripts that automatically download and compile the source code for a particular package, and it handles dependencies too. If you want to verify that a package is safe, look at the PKGBUILD (script) yourself and you can see whether it does anything malicious.

Is it possible to use librejs and noscript together, so that noscript functions as normal with the exception of free javascript, which should be automatically whitelisted?

Alright. Cool, thanks user.

Pleb question: Where is software in linux installed? using mint

Long version: I made a new video profile with less than 1fps in video editor kdenlive.
Since then it crashes on startup (I suppose it can't handle the new profile). Pic related.
The configs do not appear to be in home folder (home/myusername/kdenlive) and I'd like to remove the shit manually. Tried apt-get remove and install again but it appears that the setting is saved somewhere.

You need apt-get purge rather than apt-get remove

And the software binary is often in a separate location to the config, so asking where the software is installed doesn't really answer your question. Most binaries go to /usr/bin but configs can go in various locations

Look around in ~/.config or ~/.kde

oh, adding to , purge won't remove configs in your home folder. Check if there's a kdenlive config in a hidden directory in your home folder, usually /home/username/.config

Am I the 1% yet?

I bought some earbuds that have a microphone but meant to only be plugged in one jack. Because of this my PC only detects either the microphone or the headphones at one time depending on which one I plug them into. How do I make it detect both of them?

So I spilled about half a glass of water on my Thinkpad W550s's keyboard, while it was on. It drained out through the holes, I tested the keys and everything seemed to be working fine, so I shut it off and dried off as much remaining water as I could with napkins. I had to turn it on a little over an hour later for reasons that aren't really relevant. When I was using it then, I noticed strange behavior in the enter, space, and backslash keys. They all still function, but they have the wrong functions. Enter still enters but it simultaneously performs PgUp's action making it impossible to enter a line at the bottom of a field of text, and space still spaces but simultaneously performs the PgDn action, so it works fine at the end of the field of text but makes going back to edit difficult. PgUp and PgDn still function normally. The backslash key takes a screenshot, but interestingly when holding shift it still makes |. I'm hoping somebody here knows what the problem could be. Googling it is difficult since I'm not really sure how to concisely describe it and most people complaining about their keyboard not working mean that it isn't responsive. I've tried popping the trouble keys off and letting the laptop sit and dry like that for a few hours, and I've tried resetting the keyboard's mapping to the default state, but neither of those fixed it. I'm running Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa. Also, I've just figured out that Alt+space, which should just change the keyboard language, simultaneously moves to the next tab. I haven't thoroughly tested key combinations so there are likely more that I'm unaware of. The issues with the enter and space key still occur in the Japanese keyboard mode. Is this the result of a short circuit when I turned the laptop on the second time? Could a more thorough drying fix it, or manual remapping? When I popped off some keys I neither saw nor felt any wetness. Sorry for text wall, enter is broken.

magnets are the only things that can save you now

Is it just me or does 8ch not work with https anymore?

hmmm turns out it's not https but the url starting with sys.

I got this 64GB flash drive I had used to store data, until one day it just stopped showing up in any of the USB ports on any of my computers. From what I can see, the plastic piece on the USB cap is apparently pushed in because it's no longer flush with the metal like on my other USB drives. Is there a way to fix this? It's bullshit that this flash drive is having issues only a few weeks in use.

Here's the pictures of what I got since it's probably easier to show than explain.

Is there no saving this?

Does anyone have any suggestions as how to make nearly anonymous online payments?

Bitcoin is obvious. I can'y buy Visa giftcards anonymously with cash because doing so is illegal in the UK.

oh wait ignore , that's the wrong adapter. You need something sorta like that though

Do you know of any software that can do this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_Cubic_Convolution_Interpolation ? Couldn't find anything.
The algorithm itself doesn't seem too hard to implement, but I'd prefer not doing that.

When I plug my xbox gamepads USB into my PC the lights turn on when it's about halfway in, and then the lights turn off when it's fully in. Undetected by windows 7 with drivers, not in device manager, etc.

What could be the problem here? I've had issues with the usbs on my computer since I got it, my gamepad worked fine on my last PC without drivers.

Is there a solution that doesn't require me to buy something that costs twice as much as the earbuds themselves?

If you get more expensive headphones then the adapter will only be 1/100 the cost of them

hey Holla Forums, I got paranoid and hastily wiped my HD, which means I lost my old resume and the software that I used to make it (microsoft word)

What are my options as far as free text editing software? My actual resume is shit and I rely heavily on pretty formatting tricks to make it look semi-professional. (going for help-desk level 1-2 type shit)

I feel like people's typical reaction is "ew" if they can tell you made your resume in anything other than word

How am I suppose to learn the maximum temperature of my GPU? I don't seem to be able to find such an information about it on the internet, it is a GTX780-DC2-3GD5. Also how much effect would it have if I put a weak case fan blowing against the back of the card?

Since I asked a question I may as well attempt to answer a question:

I had to download a program that maps controller buttons when I had a similar problem but I never had problems with my USB ports, You can easily replace them or add new ones by installing a new card, just make sure you get a card that matches whatever socket/slot you have on your PC

usb cards are pretty cheap
amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=usb card

If one was interested in a career in cyber security, what certifications should one look for? What fields should they try and learn to get a good grasp of?

what are some good windows vps?

Okay?

So I just installed Debian Netinstall (Sid) on my new computer, and there are two things that are puzzling me.

I am using an AMD R9 380 card, which I thought was AMDGPU compatible (it is; in fact, it's one of the officially supported models). I thought AMDGPU was the only driver I needed for the card, but for some reason I had to install non-free firmware-amd-graphics to even get it working. Is there any alternative to this package that is fully free?

The second problem is the fans don't spin. sensors reports a temperature that stays around 60ºC, which I assume is correct (despite the CPU sensor being 20 degrees off, according to the BIOS), and I don't know if this is normal or even healthy for the card. I have read about some people experiencing this phenomenon in other forums, but nobody treats it as normal and recommend modifying the fans curve. However, the back of the box of the GPU says it disables fans while not gaming and only enables them when they reach a certain temperature, but I don't know how could I check if I haven't reached that temp yet or if it's just that my fans aren't even working. Do you know of any way I could use to enable the fans? I heard it involves enabling amdgpu.powerplay in kernel parameters (although by default it is auto, so this step may not be necessary), but nobody knows what the fuck to do after that other than the fact that manipulating the GPU in /dev or /proc may be related. Any suggestions?

You need kernel 4.7-rc6. Source: wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Amdgpu

To correct I meant kernel 4.7-rc6 or newer.

Is it worth it to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.01 LTS?

Will I have the old pre-installed themes that I had in 14.04? I don't like Unity at all tbh.

Bruh just torrent Word, install it and continue your life.

If you care about newer software or better drivers, than probably. I don't use ubatoo though.

I'm using kernel 4.7.0-1. Considering it's not a RC version, I guess it's newer.

Also, 4.7-rc6 is only for Arctic Islands. The R9 380 is Volcanic Islands.

Oh, you said 380. I thought 480 for some reason.

Oh, I thought you had to install proprietary drivers. No, afaik you do need blobs.

Weird, I thought AMDGPU was there to prevent blobs. Do you know if there is any libre alternative, or will I have to wait until people can come up with one?

Also, any idea on the fans?

The people who are autistic enough to care about blobs in drivers are tiny minority. Do not expect to have any blobless drivers ever.

The purpose of AMDGPU is to get the advantages of free software without having to compromise intellectual property. Catering to freetards was definitely not its purpose.

How much would a 480 by bottlenecked by a stock clock 8320 and 16 GiB of 1.2 volts RAM? It would be good to be able to put the extra drive cages back into the case as I am running out of space of on the 2 TiB internal and I don't want to have to rely on my external drives.

hey Holla Forums this might be a bit silly but is there some kind panic button where I can run an .exe or a command to delete every single thing on my computer or at least make it unusable just in case the feds come for a visit someday.

This is the equivalent of putting a cloth over something you don't want to see and pretend it disappeared.

Your files will be laughably easily accessible if you delete them like that. Maybe a secure deletion (deleting the files and putting passes of random code upon them) would be much better and there are plenty of tools to do this, but your 100% failsafe option would be to physically destroy the HDD with a hammer (to both break it and de-magnetize its insides).

anyone now how to readable open these crash files?
my linux mint install has been crashing randomly 2-3 times a week for like a month and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it

Real greenhorn question, but how does one delete a Linux partition? I want to move from Ubunto to Debian on my laptop but I don't want to accidentally destroy my windows section since it's where I save all my work.

same way you delete any partiton
you go into a partition editor and delete it, then you either extend a different partition over it, or format the empty space
go through the debian instalation and select "manual" instead of "guided - use entire disk"
then select the empty space and make a new partition using all the space for a primary partition in EXT4
that's all you really need, you can look into the reasons of why to bother with partitioning SWAP or separate /boot partitions, but honestly it likely won't matter for you

The only safe option is to remove your HD and smash the fuck out
Using some kind of deletion/overwriting with gibberish software will take longer than just unpluging the HD and smashing/burning
If you are extra paranoid microwave the pieces afterwards

I guess I'll leave the case open then. would a big magnet do the trick? i've seen that in a movie.

just run the SATA cable out of the case into a HDD with the sensitive material on your desk or something, put a mallet next to it

you better be living with computer then feds have vans to see when you are going out. They storm the fuck out of your house when you are away to seize your PC. They are not stupid like in movies.

Have everything encrypted and when the feds come knocking overwrite the encryption key. There's pretty much now way of recovering anything. You could also rewrite the partition table to make it look like an empty hdd and optionally have a dummy hdd with ubatoo or something so that when it's turned on after you destroyed your shit, it seemingly normally boots and nothing looks suspicious.

I have no idea about windows though. I'd never keep anything that the feds could be interested in on a windows machine.

well, if he isn't a retard and that all is encrypted, it shouldn't be an issue anyway, the troubles start when they have access to your pc when it's on and unlocked

Welp user, you're fucked.

unplug HD and take it with you when you leave
(which is also risky as fuck but gives you a better chance to see someone coming and time to fuck it up real good, especially if its a one of those cheapo SSDs)

Honestly I couldn't live a life of constant paranoia like that but to some it's not a choice

Libre office is currently the most popular free alternative to Word if I'm not mistaken.

I think Malwarebytes was supposed to be good.

Torrent Word, or download Libre Office. Or Google Docs. Hell, Google Docs will keep it backed up on Drive so you don't do the same shit again. Pretty convenient if you don't mind being part of the Google Botnet™

When my mouse receiver is plugged into the USB hub, my USB stick (plugged into the same hub afterwards) won't work. What's the deal with that?

The UID (Item ID) conflicts. It should as simple as editing one file to fix, on GNU/Linux at least.

Which one? Using Mint.

This should hopefully help.

Why is my PC/GPU louder at lower fan speed?

I was getting over 70C on some games and I could hear my (supposedly) my gtx780 working, nothing too much, but enough to notice. Because of reasons I ended up making a custom fan settings in msi afterburn with the most important being 60% at 60C and 70% at 65C. Now the fans spin faster with getting to over 2000rpm, but my temperature not only does not reach 70 any more, but I can barely hear the fans. Was I even hearing the fans before or what? I don't understand how this is suppose to work.

Quick question: What's a good program to convert multiple video files into audio like MP3 and so?

Can windows 10 be trully uncucked now? i mean, can i turn off all updates and stuuff like that?

Even on 8.1 i acidentally let it update once and then it locked me out of lot of things like i cant even disable auto updating now or remove updates.

I going to format today and not sure if 8.1 again or 10, dont tell me to go with 7, 8.1 is way faster.

test

No idea how cmd . exe or powershell does something like this, but it's normally something like this one liner in sh. video_file_ending $ (with the $ at the front) is the extension of a video file, so replace it with mp4/webm or just normally declare it.
Goddamn let me post cockmonkey

I have a windows 7 laptop but for some reason windows update doesn't work, it stays stuck at searching. I tried all the troubleshooting stuff they have but none of it works. I want to do a system restore but I do not have the installation disc.

Leafpad, nano, sublime, anything.

I have an HP Pavilion netbook that had come stock with Windows 8.1, but had been "upgraded" to Windows 10 earlier in the year. I did a factory reset, which set it back to w8.1. I want to get Windows 7 on it, but it refuses to install, both 32bit and 64bit.

64bit seems to install, but will shutdown about a quarter of the way, with an error message after shutdown stating that "winload.efi" is missing and/or corrupt.

32bit won't even install, and will say there is an unexpected error.

Where is the GUI to configure MIME types on GNOME 3?

Hey, i gotta problem with my laptop screen. It's an asus notebook maybe 3-4 years old

the thing is when i move my screen even slightly, it just turns into a fucking striped colored mess of green and magenta and flicker like fuck until i rotate the lid some more and i get a complete whiteout

The first time it happened i thought maybe the graphics card was broken since it just happened randomly, so i plugged it in to my TV with an HDMI cable and i still got an image so the card was at least working. Next obvious fault would be a loose or broken cable right? well i don't think that's it either, because if i get the problem, insert an HDMI cable, the desktop resolution changes because of the tv settings, and then i get picture again, then if i pull the cable out, resolution resets to it's original without problem and i get picture, another way to "fix" it is to press the power button and go into sleep mode, and then start it up again, fixes the problem.

so since it's not the card, and not a cable (even opened the lid casing and removed/reconnected the screen) could it be the screen position sensor fucking up? sending some signal where it doesn't know if the screen should be on or off at the same time?

I've changed the settings to "On lid close do nothing" but the problem is still there


anyone know what it could be?

I feel your pain bro, I also bought a HP Pavilion months ago that had win10 on and it blocks me from installing anything other than windows 10 or 8.1.

I have found no solution so far.

Can't you just format it?

I don't have a lot of floor space in my room- but I want a PC.

I feel your pain negro, the BIOS automatically replaces to boot order to it's original configuration, but this fucks any dual of plain old regular booters.
My solution was to use a command that tells the BIOS to use the grub.efi file everytime, but my model is older, came with 8.0 rather than 10, BIOS/Sys Options looked different as well, and actually gave you the chance to disable fast/secure boot.

Sorry mien fagots, we got kike'd.

Torrents, Demonoid is back up, unblocked.pe has some archives of other sites too.

Between then and seeing your response, realized I could use a much smaller table since I will have headphones instead of speakers, so I can have a terminal, a monitor, and keep my TV.

In Gnome's interface, whenever i click on my second HDD i get a prompt asking for my root password, then i access those files normally. But on i3 window manager, whenever i click on that HD through nautilus, i simply get a warning telling me i don't have permission to access those files.

How do i fix this?

Don't know if anyone here will be able to help. I'm trying to set up a computer as a serial terminal but halfway through Linux starting up on the computer I'm connecting to the computer working as a serial terminal stops displaying anything new, it does displays GRUB and everything before that point. When I use dmesg|grep ttyS0 on the computer I'm trying to connect to I get:
[ 2.609113] 00:06: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A[ 28.158035] ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged![ 28.158367] ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged![ 28.163612] ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!
I've checked the BIOS and that is the right IRQ (4) and address (3f8) for that serial port. I'm at a loss as to why Linux says there is no serial port at that address.

How do I stop my android phone from contacting mobile networks completely? I removed the sim card and the device says it is able to do emergency calls only but I don't want it to.

Looked through the settings and I can't find anything that stops the phone from contacting cellular networks.

Where can I download Maya and Solidworks? Do I need a VPN? TPB is filled with dmca

Use a VPN to avoid any copyright problems.

Isyour phone rooted? If so you can try using /system/ app mover located on F-Droid to try and make the phone app a normal app and then uninstall it.
However a word of warning some manafactures are silly and tie also everything and the kitchen sink together so that if you remove one component your OS is likely to crash untill it decides to not do so again.
The least hassle I had with removing most system apps was a Chinese branded phone and the most was a well known OEM, which eventually out of the blue decided to stop restarting via a obvious memory leak even though the system monitors said there was way more than enough memory left.

Most of those sites show at least apart of what has been sent to that number with some showing the entire content, from what I remember when I tried to use one a long tine ago. Also there is nothing as a secure number by themselves due to the way the mobile networks are setup. There is only currently effectively a gentleman`s agreement that someone won't abuse the network. However it is not trival to get onto the network in the first place. However using end to end cryptography applications like signal and some VOIP setups makes it a bit more secure.


Have you tried adding your user to sudo? There is two ways one easier than the other.
A) add the user to the wheel group then enable the with password option of %wheel in the sudoers file.
B) Try and figure out how to add just your user to the sudoers file and not the entire wheel group.
Either way use the specifically designed command for editing the sudoers file.

I find MIS afterburner to be very useful, with plenty of options. The system moniotring overlay is every useful. Also it isn't manafacture specific in the CPU or GPU and will work with anything. However MSI cards supposly have more voltage control available. The final nail is that it is free and with no payed option to heavily push.

You do realise that email at is core isn't secure no matter what you do? Most if not all of the secure marketed ones uses JS and in the case of one of them has a mobile version on Google play. That said there is Torunial or however it is spelt.
Also depending on how comfortable you are with the command line you can setup your email service, which gives you some security as it under your control.
It would be easier to use either a replacement to regular email e.g. Darkmail under project Morphis, Tormail or GPG (which only encrypts the body and nothing else I belive.
So you would have to get used to having a vague subject line at the least in order to be more secure as you could them try and claim that the email could be about anything if it is sent a friend. If it is send to a specific business e.g. a hospital then it makes it easier to guess the content).


The only real answer in this case is to upgrade to Windows 7. In my world at least. 8.x doesn't exist and the people who desgined 10 (e.g. CEO and the entire marketing department mostly) have gone on a very long holiday.

So I bought myself a cheap ass wired xbox one controller to play those shitty jap ports on my pc with poor kb/m support after my wireless one fell off my desk while it was connected to my pc and just then refused to work. Well now the same shit happened with this fucking wired one, I bought the wired one to avoid that problem, the thing is that my wired controller didn't fall off my desk, I had it connected for a while then decided to unplug to avoid it from falling off my desk. Now I I wanted to play one of those shitty jap ports and plugged the controller in and I got a fucking power surge message.

Now the fucking controller wont work like my last one, I plugged in my other usb ports and it doesn't turn on, I plug it where I originally had and it just keeps vibrating. Is that USB port fucked? if I connect anything else in it will it kill it? And more importantly is my controller dead? What the fuck do I do now?

XCOM 2 installed on Steam. SATA cable broke several days ago then XCOM 2 dissapeared from my installed games list. Just found another one and plugged it in. SSD is working fine but Steam hasn't detected it. How do I point Steam to XCOM 2 on my SSD so I don't have to download again?

Oh.
Install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra, opera is based on chromium so it needs that to do H.264 and a couple other things, alternatively grab or build a libffmpeg.so that has support for both the version of chromium your opera build uses and the extra codecs, problem becomes that you'll have to manually upgrade it.


First try dropping the XCOM2 folder in the steamapps folder and then restarting steam.
If that doesn't work go to your steam folder, delete everything that isn't userdata and steamapps, drop your XCOM2 folder in steamapps and launch steam.

So I just noticed Krita on Debian is on debports and not in the main repos. I swear some years ago it was on the official ones, and I was able to install it without changing my sources.list, but not anymore

When trying to use the least amount of ram as possible, is it done by switching over to the virtual console? Would the gui still be running in the background, or does that process terminate until I go to ctrl+alt+f7 to open it back up again?

I'm not sure if switching over to the virtual console actually does anything since I'm able to switch back to the GUI really fast as if it was always there running in the background.

It is still in memory. You can kill it by switching to a virtual terminal and running something to the effect of sudo pkill X

My mom bought a Win10 machine and thanks to Micorosoft's focus on the spyware, the machine is so unstable that even Windows Explorer locks up.

I'm considering just putting Linux on it with some normal-user friendly environment. What would probably be the best distro and environment for this?

I was thinking Mint with Cinnamon.

Mint with Cinnamon could work, but then again, I wouldn't trust the Mint devs not to fuck up again with malware in their downloads.

I would recommend either one of Ubuntu's derivatives, or Debian with a non-Gnome DE. Fedora could also work, but it has a weird habit of working really well in some aspects while utterly failing in others; namely, official package selection is pretty shit, so you pretty much require installing a third party repo.

As for recommended DE, I would say Plasma 5 is a real alternative for Windows users since it more or less operates like Win7 or Win10, but last time I tried, it was too buggy and unstable. Cinammon is also similar in that it works like Windows, but it's much more stable; however, it's based on Gnome, which usually gets quite slow in low end computers. If you want something low resource, XFCE would be what I would recommend had it not been dead; there is now LXQt, which I haven't personally tried and seems to be pretty experimental as of now, but at least its development is quite fast.

just steal one you fat hick
maybe you can nab one from a redeveloping property

Thanks for the help. I'll look into Ubuntu with Cinnamon and see what happens.

I installed a new graphics card, but when booting my motherboard hangs on a code the manual says

and doesn't show a display (not even the bios)


Reinstalling the old card works fine and this card works in another machine. Any ideas?

Should mention the card lights up when I turn on the power.

Fedora doesn't include nonfree software in its repos. Of all the places to have a problem with this I wouldn't expect it to be Holla Forums. And for nonfree shit just use fedy/rpmfusion. Same concept as the AUR, really. It's just not built in.

Holla Forums is autistic for the most part, but there's a degree of pragmatism. Most of us recognise that having a 100% free system comes with a lot of compromises, so you find a lot of people with 99% free systems + proprietary drivers, or games, or essential software.

IMO the best way to do it is like Debian rather than Fedora, where it is 100% free software by default but there is an optional non-free repo that you can manually enable

Really, the thing I'd expect Holla Forums to have a problem with Fedora is SELinux.

So would it be nautilus that I kill to get rid of the GUI running in memory, or even more? I am using Trisquel which is based off of Ubuntu.

SELinux just controls local permissions. It makes sure things aren't doing things that they shouldn't be able to without you knowing. Sure it was developed by le spooky NSA but is there any proof that it's ever been used for nefarious purposes?

Why do certain threads get some many clicks?

Sometimes I save a thread and post the link into the thread like this:

web.archive.org/save/http://8ch.net/tech/res/629882.html

This is not a link to the archived thread, but a link that saves the thread. This is a link to the actual saved page:

web.archive.org/web/20160912011541/http://8ch.net/tech/res/629882.html

The reason for this is to count clicks. Because every time someone clicks that link, the counter goes up. E. g. this thread was saved 3 times so far, if it says 6 tomorrow I know that 3 people clicked that link. I have some examples here for you

Do those "high gain" antenna replacements actually work?

Do those "high gain" antennas actually work?

Marginally. What are you doing with it?

When I said sudo pkill X, I didn't mean "X" to be replaced by the name of other GUI software. X (uppercase) is the name of the display server that is most commonly used on Linux. It's what powers graphics, and if you kill it then the GUI disappears,

addendum to >>650606: after testing, I've realised that sudo pkill X will not work as it automatically restarts. You need to stop your display manager by running
sudo systemctl stop gdm.service

I am considering dedicating myself to learn programming and/or web development for a while and I would like your insights on how hard would it be and it is to get a job in these fields without a software engineering diploma or anything like that.

tldr: I would be grateful if you told me what was that book or course or video that hooked you into programming or web development or made you improve greatly at that. Maybe with your help I will be your future competition.

hey Holla Forums I've got a problem. so I need to to format my old pc because my young cousin made a password as 'A PRANK BRO' and when he came back to my house and I asked him about it he forgot what it was. the problem is my old laptop doesn't have a screen so I am plugging another monitor to use it and the monitor only starts showing when the windows booting logo appears so I can't access anything before that which mean I can't format.I've had an idea like if there was some kind of OS like Tails which I can just boot from a USB and install an OS to the PC while it's running from that OS.Sorry for long post but it's kind of a serious problem lol .

You don't need to format, you can reset the password using a tool like pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/ss/ontpre-screenshot-guide.htm

Over the years I have occasionally gotten fast DL speeds. I remember one time I got 10MB downloading a game off Steam for quite a while. But only like 3 or 4 times over several years. All other times I get 2.5MB.

How come it could go up to 10MB? Can I do anything right now to get it higher like change my router or something?

i need to use gtx 970 gpu or something similar so does anyone knoe some comparable gpu's?

not for gaming only projecting, so my question is how do i put that card into the smallest possible package?

how do i work around that spec?

just a heads up for the host file, you need to clear your DNS cache first if you've already visited the site. (obvious I know, but I didn't know why it didn't work at first)

Nope. Didn't work.

Any ideas? My old card just died entirely

I went on to my laptop right after getting out of the shower, some water dripped from my hair and onto the track pad and I guess it must've gotten underneath it somehow because my mouse got a mind of its own all of the sudden and started wigging the fuck out

I was frantically able to get a Tripcode finder program to run so my temps would rise and the fans would run full speed in an attempt to dry it off

Is my baby gonna be okay guys?

Update;
Laptop sounds like a Jet engine: good
Motherboard at 90 degrees Celsius holy shit
CPU at 79-80 C
GPU at 75-80 C a tad cooler
Getting 350M trips a second

And most importantly I am starting to regain control of my mouse
Fuck gave me a fucking scare

anyone else having issues with the tor network at the moment? it keeps selecting US entry nodes for me

I'm building a pc and i've finally gotten it to mostly work. But when i turn it on, it displays the message "Install and select proper boot device".

I've checked online for solutions and tried all the suggestions (checked the SATA cables were in properly, set options to default in the BIOS, set the hard drive as the boot priority etc.) and none of it has worked. I still get that same message everytime i turn it on. Is there anything that i might be overlooking that could be causing this?

Have you installed an OS yet?

No, not yet.

Should I?

Yes, you need one for your computer to function

Well... I feel silly

any sites that give mini programming projects to practice?

I've been dual-booting Linux Mint on my main PC for a while, and I've had it running on one of my old laptops for about a month now, and I want to build another PC solely for Linux.

I've heard rumors that some hardware comes preinstalled with spyware, so that even if you're running a variant of Linux, you can still be monitored.

What kind of companies should I trust to build my PC? Nvidia? Intel? AMD?

I am making a script for python that will automatically make an account using the requests module.

However, no matter all the tutorials I make it just isn't working and is very annoying because I've been working hours on this. Someone has to know how to do this.
Heres the link: chaturbate.com/accounts/register/
The form data that passes through: pastebin.com/wKBrdihA (you can make a account without an email if you want to look at it yourself)
My current script: pastebin.com/ysRKAVBs almost all the variables that pass through s.post are generated and working 100%, but i'd prefer not to share that part of the script

Anyways, after running the script above I go to where the usernames profile and it's always 404'd. It's like it can't submit or something.

Alright, I know nothing about python but a little about HTTP.

This request works:
curl 'chaturbate.com/accounts/register/' --2.0 -H 'Host: chaturbate.com' -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' --compressed -H 'Referer: chaturbate.com/accounts/register/' -H 'Cookie: csrftoken=CivY5KNNK3C3VCoyki9FNIP32l9u7z9k' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' --data 'csrfmiddlewaretoken=CivY5KNNK3C3VCoyki9FNIP32l9u7z9k&username=wtfuckissthis2&password=wowowowowowowowowo&email=&birthday_month=1&birthday_day=1&birthday_year=1964&gender=s&studio=&terms=on'

Immediate thoughts are that your referer should be chaturbate.com/accounts/register/, you're not sending the csrftoken cookie, and your user agent probably indicates that you're a bot. Correct those issues one at a time, in that order, and see what works

am , in case you run into any more issues before I wake up then use firefox's inspect element -> network, and look at the POST request yourself to see what the differences are between a legit request, and what you're sending. Pic related but it shows a GET instead of a POST

Sup Holla Forums. I got a problem here, I updated to the new Windows 10 anniversary update recently because.. Why not? Now there's an invisible box in the bottom right-hand corner of my screen. Clicking is completely disabled except for right clicking. Which prompts pic related. Any ideas? This can be an annoyance using a browser. Works fine with games though.

FUCK OFF WINFAGGOT

Hey man, just tryin' get some help here.

Is it normal for a computer to try so hard when playing a video? You can tell when I play and pause.

No.

If you're making something in Blender, every time you play it through blender the models have to render and shit so that could be the case.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

You're mistaken. What you're looking at is a video about blender, but not blender itself. I was just wondering if it is normal for video players to spike up your cpu usage to 90% like that.

Ah I see. In that case still no, maybe you should try playing it through your browser or just simply a different vid player.

so this code is from a module I imported in python 2: pastebin.com/P5BTk3D7

so in my script i have this code: pastebin.com/gFJ68507

but everytime I get this error:
pastebin.com/Xbbs3rW6

I wouldn't be asking if there was a fix on Google. I'm not natural at Python 2, I've spent most my time on Python 3 and am only using it for this module I imported, so the answer may be simple.

That encodeHEADERS function expects header_string to actually be a string, where every header field is separated by "\n" and the name and value to be seperated by ": ", and then it makes that into a dictionary.
However, what you pass to this function is already a dictionary.

With an i5-6500 and a GTX 970 I'd be able to emulate pretty much everything, right?

Can some nice user give me a mega link to glype proxy source code?
Their main website blocks proxies and I can't access it myself.

If you have a dedicated GPU you might try to use it for rendering instead of the CPU. Same goes for video players.

blender.org/manual/render/cycles/gpu_rendering.html

The problem still is there. I changed my part of the code to:

head = str('Referer: chaturbate.com/accounts/register/\nuser-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.135 Safari/537.36 Edge/12.246')

still getting the error:
headerList = header_string.strip().split("\n")
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'strip'

I know some people say that the TOR network is compromised,
and others say that it isn't. Assuming that it isn't, and it
isn't currently possible to brute force the encryption,
and no intrinsic vulnerabilities are currently known,
what's to stop the US government from collecting all TOR
traffic, until such a time that it can be decrypted?

Will TOR traffic at some point be retroactively decrypted?

How do I change the default folder nautilus shows when it first starts?

I need to use a powerline adapter to use the internet on my new pc. I've had one that i use for my blu-ray player so i figured that would work but the pc can't detect it and won't connect to the internet.

The orange light where the ethernet plugs in lights up and the light on the plug that lights up when it is connected to a pc is lit up but my pc still doesn't detect it. I've upgraded the firmware but that hasn't helped.

I had to get Windows 10 (I know, but it's all that i could get) on this new PC and it works fine with Windows 8.1 on my other pc so could it be a compatibility issue? Could it be my PC? Do i need to get a new powerlinr adapter or will that one not work either?

The adapters need to be on the same circuit, and they can't be plugged in indirectly (i.e. through an extension lead/surge protector)

I got tapped for a technical interview for a good software engineering job. Here's the rub: I'm not a software engineer. I have a computer networking degree and a few entry level certs but I also have a finance bachelors and this position requires software knowledge plus finance literacy.

I've worked in the past as an accountant so my finance side is on the more solid side, but I wanted to strengthen my software interview skills. Here is the job description. I've been brushing up on what COTS is and what successful implementation of COTS would be, but what else do you think could be useful for my interview and/or job prep?

I got tapped for this position because they liked me as a person and because of my dual finance/programming knowledge bases but I feel woefully inadequate when it comes to my computer literacy as compared to what I imagine the average software engineer.

I will say I swallowed the Linux pill a while back so I've used Mint on my home machine for a couple years so I'm not a complete babe in the woods. I do have experience with OOP languages but definitely not as much as I would imagine would be requisite for this position. I've done code reviews to find problems (like out of bounds etc) in some classes when I was getting my programming classes done but I imagine that the depth of this job would be much deeper. I'm not a dullard so I think I could perform in this role with some effort, but I have a week to brush up on things before my interview. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea why I said that, I don't remember posting it either but it was me.

Try FrootVPN.

Still needing help with this if anyone knows how that works.

what place would I inquire further to get a free license key for adobe products?

Anyone ever used SumRando?
Is it trustworthy for fucking around?

That's not the problem. I think it's an issue with drivers but i'm not sure. The manufacturer doesn't have the driver available to download so if that is the problem i'm fairly sure that i'm fucked.

Ok, I tried using burner accounts for free trials but the damn creative cloud client tells me my trial is already expired.
I used the adobe cleaner tool several times and it still doesn't work, I never get a fresh new trial period.
Anyone know what to do? could it be because of my PC? should I try with another PC? or are they sneaky and cunning enough to spot me through my IP?

What are your needs? You might be easier off with free alternatives.

So here is what I need help with:

Any help would be appreciated. It's for my vision quest.

I am about to add ram. Do i need wrist strap in order to prevent elcotromagnetic super wave which will destroy my motherboard? It seems like obsolete shit to me.

depends on what country you live in. In some countrys, the power-outlet has a ground that you can touch, lick your finger and touch it. that will get rid of all static you might have stored. unless you are wearing a wool sweater on a humid day and dragging your feet across carpet floor, it should be enough for switching RAM.
Goes for most stuff you do on your PC
Pic related, a french power outlet with portruding ground.

That's not how it works. He just needs to establish a common potential with the thing he's trying to touch. I would think the PSU earths the PC case. Mine does anyway. In which case just touching the case will be sufficient.

You shouldn't need to edit xorg.conf. What errors do you get when running startx?

HOW?

I'm fucking out of clues about why this happened.
Did my BIOS somehow get compromised and I fixed it by accident? I have no fucking clue.

anyone? this really blew my mind

Bitcoins desktop wallet and mobile app?

Hello? Is this thing alive?

yes

Why are you not talking to me then, user-kun.

It's not like iI d-don't l-like you user-k-kun.

this is why nobody likes you user

I'm not even the typical weeb, though.

I just gave up on normal live after a really long period of suffering.

So I'm using Java for my project don't hate me, it's the right tool for the right job

Why is gradle such a piece of trash? Is it just IntelliJ IDEA? Is Netbeans less shit? I go to import something, put it in build.gradle, and I get 12 different fucking errors from doing the same goddamn thing 12 times in a row. Is this a gradle = shit issue, or an intellij = shit issue? I know, java is all trash, but I'm not using it because I like it.

Holy fucking shit nevermind I am just going to use something else. Fuck java, fuck (((((((maven)))))))), fuck gradle, and fuck IntelliJ. What a disaster.

Is using lux encryption with all default settings safe?
The only thing I changed is that I made the key size 512 as that's what was in the example in the tutorial.

Also unlike truecrypt/veracrypt I noticed it doesn't overwrite the whole partition with data, is that bad...?

Anything else important I need to know?

Also what's the purpose of plain mode rather than lux?

So how to properly print a backspace to a file. All I'm getting are ^H's

I need some help with >php

Phonetic code mostly.
input:$query(SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id)foreach($table as $tables) {print_r($tables)}
output:array(id => 1, name => "aaron", timestamp => 2016-09-16 12:00:00)array(id => 2, name=> "bob", timestamp => 2016-09-16 13:00:00)et cetera.

Now I wish to compare the timestamp of each array, select the array of which the FUTURE timestamp is closest to the time(); (which is the current timestamp) and output this array so I can use it.

I'm not good at either SQL or PHP, but I know that you should try searching through the entries in SQL, not PHP. This is what SQL is for.

So I would need the current time in a different table and somehow compare this to the timestamp within the sql query? Or something like that?

God I fucking hate php and sql

No, you construct the query in PHP with the time in it. You send that query to the SQL database and you get your answer back.

Oh right, that makes more sense, thank you.

$currentTime = time();query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE t_time '$currentTime' >= t_time");

This doesn't seem to work, but I am not getting any error messages either.

This way of building SQL queries is vulnerable to SQL injection. Look it up, you need a few extra steps to do it properly.

Not relevant right now.

convert to unix time

Thanks, that fixed it actually. It works!

I have a question about static electricity.

Is it really enough to just get a wrist strap and attach it to my case?

What is it safe to place components on? Can I just lay things on my desk on top of a anti-static bag like what comes with the hardware?

I've had an SSD for my OS for a few years now and for reasons have had to reinstall the OS a couple times.

How limited are SSD's in number of writes and is there a way for me to check on how healthy the drive is?

pls respod

what's the best software for encrypting specific files/folders? also how long should the password be to make sure no government agency could ever bruteforce it?

if the password is too long to memorize, where should I hide the password?

pics related, don't click if you live in the USA and aren't behind a good VPN

I was looking for a VPN and stumbled upon Windscribe, which is apparently new and said to be good. Is this true or is it shit?

7zip is my personal recommendation as it is super easy to use, the encryption used is a public standard and it is libre.
Last time I checked it was around 14 or more characters.
This is what I do most of the time, make the file name really long and not really match the content inside. I then just use that as they password, yes it makes it very easy to crack if the adversary knows the pattern. However without having it in the back of their, I would assume that a dictionary attack would tried first and then an incremental version.
Is there any more?

It depends mainly on the model, manafacture`s process and batch. Usually there is an estimate given on the marketing/technical details.
Mabye S.M.A.R.T, also your device`s manafacture should have their own application that does this and more.
This is just my understanding.
This really falls in to the nice to have but not really necessary category, break the connection between you and the floor so that there isn't a path to the ground. For example, standing on a plastic mat or concrete and not on carpet.
Yes that can work fine. Another good option would be to use a plastic mat or the cardboard boxes that come with the parts.

I assume you mean luks?
It depends on if you want to make it almost impossible for an adversary to recover the previous data.
I will let someone who would have more expirence answer the other questions.

How do i play soundbites straight into the game with voice chat? I have meet some ragheads in dota 2 we have talked whole game about allah i called them insane fucks they called me infidel long story short we added each other as friends they have insanely high ranks like 6k. I want to play them some allah akbar soundbites while being techies just for giggles. Any idea how do i do this?

This is a very crude way but it should hopefully work, have a audio device with it next to the microphone and turn that shit up.

Hello Holla Forums. Perhaps you can help me where NordVPN customer support apparently can't.

Every time I try to post on Holla Forums, regardless of the server, I get asked to fill out captcha, which I fill out successfully, try to post, and it asks me to fill out captcha again. as infinitum. Effectively barring me from using NordVPN to post here.

I know loads of people use VPN's to post here, so why am I getting these troubles?

Thanks if you can help.

Hmm, maybe it's board specific because that went through OK.

then crank up master

I've got a Seagate 2TB SSD and I'm looking to prevent files from being deleted off it accidentally. More than a few times have I deleted files I wanted/needed and disk recovery programs can't recover complete files.

Is there some program that would require a password for writing to the disk? I can live with a password for adding files if it stops deleting them.

Yes, I know this is a fucking stupid question and I welcome insults.

How do I remove the one character from the end of a file in C?

I don't think you can in a portable way other than copying the entire file over minus 1 char.
You may use ftruncate / truncate in posix systems and _chsize / _chsize_s in windows.

My pgp public key has the line "Version: GnuPG v1" when I export it from gpg. Does it make any difference if I strip this line or keep it in, before I send someone my key?

Thank you for reading my blog Holla Forums sticky

Aliens from the future are channeling you through radio waves in your headphones. The phone calls cause a disturbance in the electrostatic flux and what you're hearing is the wave dispersion from the ET signal. I've studied this for over 29 years. What you're hearing is real.

Hey all. I'm looking for a bit of a changeup in distro choice. I started off on Ubuntu around 2008 and then distro hopped for awhile after the Unity debacle, landing on Suse for awhile and experimenting with other distros from time to time. Recently, I've been using Manjaro, but I'm getting restless again.

What distro would be best for me if I'm looking for the flexibility to really dig into the internals when I want, but to just click and install something quickly from a GUI when I don't have much time? I'm looking for something that has a decent userbase so that I can go on some forums and get answers, but isn't so consumerist like Ubuntu is.

Anybody here knows any problem from turning off coredump? I turned it off by writing Storage=none in /etc/systemd/coredump.conf

Installing Windows 7 is easy, mate. Look up installgentoo guides.

Your flash drive seems to have only one 4gb partition. Backup your data and use gparted to make a new mbr and one 8gb partition.

I was told to come ask here.

is there a way to stream things directly (or over the net) to other people's media players.
if there is not (or that the answer is massively complicated and time consuming) the second question is:
What are the best streaming sites that are free and (using the words of another here) least cucked.

Thank you.

Google ffmpeg streaming or ffserver.

Hey, Holla Forums Protonmail sux now. Are there any alternatives that don't require me to give up my cell number. preferably an encrypted service.

I'm only mildly tech-savvy, and I'm looking to increase my privacy and set up a VPN. I've disabled all the spyware on W7 that I can, I use Firefox, and was recommended zoogtv for a VPN by ghost. Should I make a burner e-mail and name?

Secondly, what can I install on Firefox to help minimize spyware in the mean time? I was recommended umatrix, but I don't really know what I'm doing.

Hey guys whenever I try to post in firefox I get 'An unknown error occured when posting!' any reasons for this?

Does BSD have graphics drivers yet? Specifically for newer AMD cards that are supported by AMDGPU on linux.

How can I listen to these awful headphones with this horrible DAC? 2x RCA out to 1/4" jack. Is there a cable for this? I'm not going to blow money on a mixer just to have useable outputs for this DAC.

So, I'm trying to use a simple library in codeblocks, following the guides that aren't obsolete, and got to this point. Why doesn't libtcod show up? Am I doing this all wrong? I have no fucking idea how to include custom libraries and this shit is infuriating to figure out.

Did you make sure to have adequate headers for your library? Is your IDE (not the tool chain) aware of the header files?

For those who don't know Rikaichan/rikaisama is a browser plug-in that will translate words that you mouse over, but I'd like to have it so that it works independently of your browser and would function if you were to mouse over any text on your computer.

Ive gotten myself into a predicament here so if anyone could give me a hand here it would be massively appreciated, i had one sub human on tomshardware completely ignore my OP and said "hurr use safe mode". I'm just gonna copy paste what i put there...

"so I decided to upgrade my gpu today, uninstalled my old gpu driver, shut down. Switched to my new graphics card, hooked up the 8 pin power cable and booted.

No problems until I installed the driver from the disk which was included, it asked me to reboot, then BSoD while it was shutting down...

Since then, my pc turns on to a black screen, has a "normal" post beep and then nothing. Sometimes it shows the splash screen, but I cant access any settings [it just clicks].

I've tried booting using the intergrated graphics and it doesnt work either, after many boot loops it will show a blue "gigabyte uefi bios" screen, but its completely blank aside from the title.

Is there anything I can do? This is driving me crazy, especially since it was working before the driver update..."

Also specs are here if you might need 'em
Gigabyte ga z77 d3h

What are some good webmail providers that aren't cock.li

have you tried removing the card and clearing the cmos?

also, try removing the hard disk/GPU and booting from a linux live CD/USB. see if you are able.

Yeah, onboard graphics yields no results, same with my old card, too.

I left my cmos battery out for about an hour and this also did nothing.

I also removed my ram and it did the usual rapid beeping

Any ideas what could be up? Im just so frustrated and tired, i just want to use my pc...

I dont have a live cd at hand at the moment, surely a windows boot disk would be okay to see if its my drives though, right?

Also unsure how relevant this is. But this is what the booting beep sounds like. It does it 4 times before going to a black screen with no cursor, though...

vocaroo.com/i/s0zM36oyS0Rd

Are you able to access your bios? If you are, i'd check if the voltage & hz settings for your GPU are correct and that it is using your new GPU and not the onboard one.
If you can access your bios and the variables are correct, you may not have uninstalled your drivers correctly. In that case boot from a usb stick / rescue disk.
Also, install GNU/Linux

Thanks but no thanks. That doesn't really serve my needs. I guess I should have explained that Rikai is less of a translator and more of a dictionary that'll also do things like break down and parse the conjugations for you.

Nope. I cant get to my bios, no matter what. My mobo speaker just clicks and then does nothing...

You think my mobo is fucked?

If you can't access your bios with your old GPU, that would be a pretty major sign that you broke something. If it only doesn't work with your new one, then there's the possibility that your PSU is too weak to power it and in that case you'd have to get a more powerful PSU.

Yeah, i cant even get there with my old gpu... the fact i managed to boot and install a driver while using my new gpu would signify i have strong enough psu, right? Or am i wrong in thinking that?

Yes.

Are the fans turning on?
You should be able to access your bios, at least with your onboard gpu, or your old gpu. Bios buttons are typically F1, F12 or del. If you can't access your bios, you probably broke something. Check if the display is in auto / hdmi mode or whatever connector you are using.

Yeah, all fans are turning on, including cpu and gpu. Ive tried HDMI and DVI on both my old card and onboard graphic. All button prompts for my mobo dont do shit, no matter what.

No error beep codes, fans turn on, that's good.
I'd say it's a software problem and you installed the wrong driver and the card is using the wrong clock settings, but it is weird that the splash screen is only shown "sometimes". It should be shown 100% of the time if it was a driver problem.

Try:
1. Remove battery / reset cmos and boot with a usb stick
2. Boot into safe mode (no idea what the wangblows hotkey for that is, might be F8)
3. Test GPU on other PC (just pop it in & out) without messing with the drivers

Gonna leave the cmos battery out while i sleep, now. I can't really do the other suggestions, since Im typing this up on my phone and have no sccess to another desktop

Thanks a ton for your help though, i start work at 5am, so id better get some sleep, I'll let you know how i get on after work, though.

There's no need to do that. 10 seconds is more than enough to reset your bios.
What you should focus on is getting access to your bios with your onboard GPU (remove dedicated GPU while doing that), because then you can rule out most non-gpu related problems.

Ahh, i see , so i can [potentially] get access to safe mode and maybe undo whatever sticky situation ive gotten myself into?

Sounds like a plan!

Ill get around to it after work, i gotta be up in like 5 hours, heh.

What ROM or OS should I have installed on my Android phone these days?

gentoo

Really depends on your phone model. How easy can you flash and root it? What roms are available?

Well that's fucked. Ignore me, please.

Tablet has 64Gb memory slot. Dude told me not to buy 64Gb and get 32Gb instead. Because, if you fill up your storage to 90% of memory card tab will either hang or become slow. Have you heard about this Holla Forums?

nope

Ok so the cmos has been cleared, and ive hooked my display directly up to the mobo, now its powering up for a couple seconds and turning back off. It will keep doing that til i turn it off via the PSU

so I am learning C language in class and I want to do some courses to get more help and all online. anything you'd recommend me?

that's pretty nice

How do i install flash for Chromium on Ubuntu 16.04?
I tried following this insturction wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Partner-Flash but the plugin does not show up in my software list.

You need to enable the repo for non-free software. You can try pepper-flash for chromium instead of adobe.

The instructions I linked to cover that.
I even enabled the "canonical partners (source)" thing.
it still doesn't work.

What happens if you do:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
in the terminal. You might have to logout and login after the installation to make the installation active for chomium.

Thanks, it works.

How do I create a bootable win7 drive in Debian or Ubuntu? On either device, I can easily make a bootable GNU+Linux image, but can never seem to get a working windows one.

My Uni won't let me connect to the internet in my dorm unless I "install the SafeConnect Policy Key which is used to verify the minimum network connectivity policies, computer operating systems and anti-virus software are installed and running on your computer."

It just sounds sketchy as fuck to me. Is this something to worry about? If so, is there a way around this?

If I have to I could just use my other laptop currently running Manjaro. It doesn't seem to have the same issue, I just plug in the ethernet cable and it works just fine. It would just be kind of a pain to move all my stuff to it.

Just use gcc


If it works fine with Loonix, but doesn't work with Windows, it's probably some sort of NT domain fuckery. Which you can probably turn off in the network adapter settings.

Can someone explain what the fug is going on?

Chromium seems to be bypassing my HOSTS file, I disabled network predictions, cleared my cache, etc but I still see pick related in chrome://net-internals.

Oops, added the non-edited image, I blocked softserve.8ch.net in hosts but it's popping up anyway.

can anybody linked me to a Holla Forums approved guide for getting the least pozed installation of Windows 10? (text to guide, YouTube videos etc.)

I'm still on win7 but I want to make a brand-new clean install of win10, just for games and streaming. (and whatever Windows only software I have to deal with).

other than that I'm going to set up another hard disk and experiment with Linux Distros asked us to find the one I like best as a daily desktop driver (I'll probably start with mint as that seems to be the most popular solution for people jumping ship from Windows)

can anybody help?

I just want as many "back doors" closed off as possible. (I've heard that editing settings in the router is necessary as the host file no longer works, is this true?)

Ok now I'm confused, it seems the hosts file is working but somehow it isn't stopping Holla Forums banners.

how do i make picture go to the right of the text

float: right

if you want them close together, put everything in a div, and then limit its width.

put in float to the img in css didnt change anything

got rid of the align in the html and kept the float which also didnt change anything

Probably need to float the text left too.

put both text blocks into a div and floated that left which worked

thanks

It's a Galaxy S4. It's already rooted and pretty easy to flash a new rom.

I'm currently using PAC rom but I haven't bothered to update it in about 2 years. Was just wondering if there's any good alternatives that have come out since then that are worth switching to.

Easy to disable the win8 updates

However, how does one Disable the auto updates on google chrome AND firefox, other than deletion?

For Firefox, set app.update.auto in about:config to false.
For Chrome you have to edit the registry.
Check Google for more details

in firefox i control + scroll wheel to zoom out on a page

now its always zoomed out

i can zoom in

but i dont know which zoom level is the default one how do i reset it

Ctrl + 0

html

how do i set an image so it is sized to be the entire width of the page minus the margins? is there a way do this automatically or do i just have to keep increasing the width incrementally until i get the right width? hwo can i even measure it and see how many pixels are on the screen?

i mean if i set a margin to 50px, then print screen and put it in paint and zoom in, it isnt actually 50 pixels on my screen

width: 100%;

but then it extends the page to take the margin into account

Then put the image in a div and put the margin on that.

great thanks senpai

So, out of curiousity I was looking at the Asus ROG Maximus VIII Extreme Assembly. It's specs state that the memory supported includes a range of DDR4 speeds.

Memory Standard
DDR4 3866*(*O.C.)/ 3800*/ 3733*/ 3600*/ 3500*/ 3466*/ 3400*/ 3333*/ 3300*/ 3200*/ 3000*/ 2800*/ 2666*/ 2400*/ 2133

So my question is this. Would I buy memory that is at 2133 and overclock it to 3866 (if possible), or do I just buy memory at 3866? This is all more for research than anything.

Is xunbuntu a good distro to start with? I wanted to start using Linux to get away from Windows 10, but I don't know if it has problems that should make me look else where (i.e. buggy, backdoors, botnet, etc.)

Yes

Anything that I should be aware of regarding xubuntu, or is it just fine and I'm wearing tinfoil?

Nah, it's fine

There is no custom rom for my phone model. I have been able to disable all google processes but the closed source LG gooknet still exists in the background. What else can I do?

whats the difference between mastercase 5, mastercase pro 5 and mastercase maker 5?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

hey Holla Forums is there any reason my ISP would give me a new IP even though I didn't request it or power cycle the modem?

No chances of working. You'll rarely be able to overclock memory more than one frequency step and keep it stable. In fact, you don't want to. Reliable memory is the single most important thing for system stability, and you don't want your system to start randomly crashing (or worse, corrupting your data) few months down the line when your memory degrades.

What those specs mean is not overclocking the memory, but overclocking the memory controller in the CPU. That thing is rated for e.g. 2133MHz, but can be reliably overclocked by over 50% if paired with fast-enough memory and extra-tightly timed traces on the motherboard. So yes, you need to buy fast memory to run it at fast clocks.

That all being said, fast memory clocks are massively overrated. Memory bandwidth is not a bottleneck for modern CPUs. (APUs are a different beast. Fast memory can definitely help the iGPU performance) You'll be hard-pressed to find a real-life CPU use case in which 3866MHz memory provides more than 0.5% performance gain over 2133MHz memory.

The more important memory performance metric for a CPU is latency. Lower latency RAM may give you a few % of extra performance in some cases. Don't expect too much, though. From the CPU's viewpoint, RAM is slow as fuck anyway, and your CPU relies on its large cache to avoid having to wait on RAM as often as possible. If the program you're running misses cache on its memory accesses regularly enough for RAM performance to matter, that program's performance is already completely fucked.

For those reasons, it's almost always better to buy cheaper, basic speed-grade memory and spend the saved money either on more memory, or on other parts of the system.

t. low-level programmer with over a decade of experience squeezing more performance from the PC memory subsystem

Dynamically assigned IPs are leased for a set period, and your client needs to request another lease when that period is up. Whether your ISP's DHCP server gives you then the same IP as the last time is for them to decide, and from their POV they don't give a shit which is it.

Until the lease period expires, you should keep the IP you're assigned (unless something, e.g. loss of connection, forces your client to re-request an IP lease).

The length of the lease period and whether the DHCP server tries to preserve your IP over consecutive leases is decided by the server's configuration (i.e. your ISP). You have no say over it.

ey Holla Forums, curious to know if anyone in here has any experience with Engineering Sample Xeons, bout to setup a dual-cpu simulation rig and wanted to see if I could save my money on some chinese ES Xeons.

Recently started using LXDE and I prefer it to XFCE, however the only thing bugging me is the panel doesn't have the "Hide Intelligently" option. Essentially all this did was always show the panel unless you had a window set to fullscreen, rather than always hiding it as long as you don't mouse over the bottom of the screen.

Anyone have a clue how I might go about making the LXDE panel behave in this manner?

Hey Holla Forums, can you guys help me out because I'm pretty fucked here. I'm a windows pleb but my OS just got damaged and I can't start windows without crashing with a bluescreen. That part isn't too important because I have a centos 7 partition with KDE on my other drive that I've been wanting to transition to for awhile. Since I haven't used it in ages I did an update. The real problem is this, I got some errors and suddenly I can't get into system settings. I just get "System Settings was unable to find any views, and hence has nothing to display." I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Also, for some reason I can't see all the files on my ntfs external drive, the ones that I can't see in dolphin I can in firefox though, and the converse is also true.

How do you lads browse the Chans? I've feel I've done it incorrectly, specially when threads are reaching bump-posts. Do you use tree-view?

I would assume your mobo or PSU is bad. See if you can borrow a PSU from another PC to test

Can you root it?

I think Cyanogen Mod has an official support for the device, you might go with it.

I'm currently building a web app at work that's taking in a lot of nested data from a database and generating fancy shiny graphs, trends, heatmaps, and tables of that data. Performance is "okay" with node.js and javascript doing the actual data massaging, but there are a few cases where the dataset being pulled is so large and deeply nested that I'm seeing 50,000-70,000 loop cycles just to walk through the entire thing once. We're talking 10MB JSON transfers from the server that take 15s just for the http request to resolve, and after that 30-40s of client-side data parsing to put the stuff into whatever visualization format the user has selected.

I need to improve performance and cut down that 30-40s client-side hang up. Do you think dropping Javascript for that computation heavy task and passing it to a script using a different language will do me better? How does the performance of Javascript compare to things like php or C++ or even C for parsing and manipulating large datasets?

Can you even mix in C files on a client-side web app?

can some post the js code used to generate a random pass per post?

Everything about that screams "shit"

per post/thread

Just fucking create those graphs and tables on the server for fucks sake!
And yes, don't use fucking node for it, the only thing that would be even worse would be php.

The server can't handle it. It's got some old php scripts (that I didn't write) already that generate excel spreadsheets server-side for download and it shits itself if the dataset a single user asks for is too large, to the point where the server hangs for all other client connections and even times out on attempts to SSH directly in. I had to implement client-side size restrictions on the spreadsheet download to prevent users from melting the poor thing.

I really hate those php scripts. One of the things I want to do if I ever have time is re-write them myself.

But apparently you're fine with it generating huge JSON blobs?
Let me tell you something, in the time it takes you to encode the JSON data you could easily create a graph, because guess what? The data is already there and you don't have to encode it.
Another thing, writing out a csv file from a database is pretty much the easiest thing ever. Even if you have millions of lines, just fetch a couple of thousand at a time, and append them to the file.

That's just how it is. The customer owns the server and the database (hence the old php scripts and APIs that I didn't write), my job is making the client interface for it.

How close is this drive to failing? Should I replace it now?

You should have said that from the start, because in that case you're pretty much fucked.

It's dead Jim.

NO!

MY ANIME!

I don't even have the space to save all this stuff on my other drives.

JFMSU

HOW LONG DO I HAVE?!?????

You will just keep losing sectors and thereby data. Salvage what you can as soon as possibly.
If you have to wait for a new drive, just keep it off in the mean time, to minimize the damage.

how do i get text to go in a box below the two text and the image

pls help

Tech illiterate here.
Getting a laptop for gaming, will come pre-installed with Win10. What's the best method for removing the spyware and bloatware? I don't want to search my "computer and the web," just my computer.

Will my questions even be answered here, or should I take my faggot elsewhere?

...

1.) reinstall your OS

2.) it depends on the manufacture, I found ASUS has minimal bloatware that really gets in the way, just ctrl+alt+delete, select task manager, go to "Startup" tab and just disable all the useless startup shit

My PC just crashed because I accidentally whacked it with a desk chair. I booted it back up and it seems okay, but is there any way to make sure?

I'm hoping it was just the hard drive that got jolted and is fine now. OS is Linux if it makes a difference

Linux can't run shit good enough with WINE, right? So would I just be installing a pirate of Win7 and making whatever changes if any necessary to make it not spy on me?

this is true
And this is completely fucking retarded. Voluntarily using a potentially vulnerable OS thats not being supported anymore. And if the laptop you have is a so-called "gaming laptop" it will most likely use newer hardware that is not guaranteed to work properly with Windows 7, thanks to Microsoft dropping architecture support for older OS'.

If you're really paranoid you should get at least Windows 8.1, you also get the SSD optimizations that way

Or just use Linux and try to get your games to run

clone the disk asap, don't power it on, find a cheap used HD online if you must.
You will probably even lose sectors while the disk is spinning during the cloning process
your HD is fucking kill bud
Don't let it spin until you're ready to clone it


theres no way to know what/if anything was damaged until something fucks up/starts running really hot. No news is good news.

How do I get wine to run 32 bit games on 64 bit centos 7? Is there a repo of 32 bit libraries I need to download or something?

Add a margin-top attribute to p, and add the value you chose to the margin-top of hagiasophia.
For instance, if you chose 20px as margin-top in p, you have to put 70px as margin-top in hagiasophia.

New PC, had to get Windows 10 unfortunately. Now half my steam games are unplayable. What do?

I did and now I can't boot anything. I can boot from a live USB (as I'm doing currently), but I can't boot my grub, can't boot my windows boot manager
How do I fix this?

By the way, I'm fine with re-installing debian (maybe sustituting it for slack, or even some meme tier shit like void), but, if possible, I'd like to keep the windows boot loader.
I had my UEFI set up to automatically use the grub.efi for debian, rather than the deafult windows boot loader, not sure if that has to do with anything
I'm running off it right now.

How? Unless you specify --no-preserve-root, it shouldn't do anything

But I did use --no-preserve-root
I am fucked, right?

Wow you're a complete idiot. "rm -rf /" is the command to delete every single file on your PC recursively that was mounted at the time of the command being run. Because it's such a stupid thing to do, the command refuses to run unless you explicitly add --no-preserve-root, which means "yeah I know it's stupid but I know what I'm doing so just do it anyway".

Was your Windows partition mounted when you ran the command? You can consider the debian install fucked, but if the Windows partition wasn't mounted then all you need is to restore the bootloader

This should teach me to acutally look up what I'm about to run before I do it. As for the windows partition, I think that it was untouched.
How do I reinstore the bootloader then? Pirate windows again?

run windows updates it should grab most drivers or go to your gpu manufacturer website and get drivers (you still might need to run updates tho)

some steam games will have compatibility issues

if your shit is up to date try launching the games in compatability mode
right click game > properties > compatability tab
set to ver of windows that the game worked on
do the same thing for steam for good measure

if that doesn't work you will need to post more info than "X wont work, y4"

enjoy winjews10

So many questions... Why the hell are you using Debian when you don't even know what rm does? How the hell did you figure out to add --no-preserve-root but not figure out that it'd wipe your machine? How the hell have you lurked Holla Forums or /g/ without seeing the rm -rf / joke before?

Anyway, just google how to restore the bootloader and follow whichever guide seems legit. You can do it from a linux lived, or I'm pretty sure you can do it from the windows repair disc. If you run into any problems, post the error message and you'll get help from whichever user stops laughing long enough to type a response

What in the blue blazes is going on?

Honestly the ONE thing I think that's changed during this period is I reinstalled League of Legends to play a few rounds with some insistent friends. I was considering getting a few more rounds in before uninstalling it for another 4 years but I don't know if or how that could even be the problem, though something anomalous did happen during the install which I can't recollect at this time.

I dunno user, I can't keep track of every meme at once. I'll do that then, thanks for stopping your laughter just long enough to help a faggot out.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, I'm trying to connect to my VPN through OpenVPN.

When I connect it shows it connected successfully but it doesn't work. I've tried looking this up already, and no success. I'm kinda new to Ubuntu so I have no clue what the problem is.

What do you mean by this?

The terminal shows:
Wed Sep 21 20:16:36 2016 Initialization Sequence Completed

But when I try to use the internet, or anything needing a connection in general it doesn't load.

So far, it seems that no matter how I want to do it, I need a recovery disc, which I don't have.
Am I fucked now?

google search for the recovery tool/iso that you need, make a bootable media of some kind

you're going to need another working machine, are you posting from one or using your phone?

Been checking the memory in my laptop as I intend to get 8gb and sell what I have. The dmidecode utility reports them as DDR3-1066, but memtest-5.01 identified them as DDR2-1064. Any clue why this might be the case?

Did you check what your mobo is reporting it as?

Twas posting from a live stick, currently onna memeblet, but yes, I do have another computer, though it's been unused for a while. I think I might be able to burn from the live boot though.
That being said, I can't find a download for the specific recovery image disk/iso that win 8.1 uses. Now that you mentioned a second pc, would
Work? Or would that not work due to diffrent components/pirate copy?

It reported it as DDR3-1066 too, I'm guessing that its fine and memtest is at fault.

I whant to try Ubuntu Phone but i don't want to commit to anything until I know it can work with Nextcloud, has a music player I like, it's "terminal" app is an actual bash shell, ect.
Is it possible to run Ubuntu phone on an emulator or a virtual machine?

I have to use Winblows 7 and I hate the file browser, anyone know of a better one?

The main thing I hate about it is the shitty tag system, for some reason when I search a directory with a tag the files with that tag don't show up. You also can't tag video or audio files.

webm unrelated because I don't want to sort through this mess without tags to find something relevant.

Learn about dual-pane file managers, they are truly the shit when it comes to graphical file management. Total Commander is one option for windows.

ghisler.com/

I use "Worker" on linux. Neither of these look like much but are an absolute godsend in reality.

boomerangsworld.de/cms/worker/

And now I read more and the guy cares about tags more than anything, Total Commander probably wont help there

Yeah it doesn't look like it. The reason I like tags so much is that there are two factors that go into an image I'd look into posting: what it conveys and where it's from. If I want to post an image of Richard Stallman being very angry, with a folder system I can either have it sorted in a folder for "angry reactions" or "Richard Stallman", because it would be relevant in threads about Stallman and also as a general purpose reaction image when you're angry. The only solution to this with folders is to have duplicates or shortcuts in the different folders, but that's just silly.

With tags I just put "angry" and "RMS" on it so I can just search for either of those and get what I'm looking for.

should i just get a caviar blue for anime and movies?

why does defraggler say my drive is 18% fragmented but windows defragmenter says its 3%?

also the option changes from defrag to optimise on the ssd, is that ok? from what i can gat6her it seems to jst do the same thing. do i do it?

Would a motherboard and cpu upgrade warrant a os reinstall or could i just plug and play?

also i have some games on an ssd

would i need to reinstall them if i do have to reinstall the os?

Motherboard upgrades require OS reinstalls.


Reinstalling an OS involves formatting the drive you're going to install it on. If you're going to install it on the SSD, you will have to redownload your games.

Only if you use a massively retarded OS.

Networking question:

Is there a way to establish a SSH connection over UDP? Is there a way to tunnel over UDP?
I've done some research and apparently it might be possible depending on firewall. Anyone with details?

I'm running behind a "filter all inbound TCP traffic" firewall so I cannot utilize a SSH tunnel properly.

Can I use a VPN I have set up over at a friends that I have control over (SSH) and can connect to from behind the firewall to somehow port forward to the MySQL and Redis databases I have on my servers behind the firewall ?

Compatibility mode doesn't work for any of the games i tried.

Fuck i hate Windows 10. I can't stand this piece of shit OS anymore. Is there any downside to just downloading Windows 7 on BitTorrent?

hard to say
try this out though

microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO

next time google "windows *version* media creation tool

microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8ISO
site needs JS and cookies enabled to work, hope this helped

you should probably stockpile some isos on a drive because the legit&free ones are all eventually taken down

worth a shot, looks like you'll be spending atleast a few hours fucking around with it either way

Okay, Holla Forumsnicians, please help me. Like really, PLEASE. This shit is driving me nuts.
I have a lenovo ideapad and it has a normal looking touchpad. But the touchpad if fucking annoying, because it doesn't use raw output, but depending on the speed you drag with, it changes the sensitivity. If I cross the whole thing under half a second, it goes across the full screen diagonally. If I drag the exact same distance, but under like 4-5 seconds, it goes quarter the way or even less. It's absolutely horrible when you try to do something even remotely precise, like getting the cursor between an L and an I since it goes all over the place with the smallest jitter/twitch in the sensor. Normally I can use a mouse but I use this piece of crap for uni. Please :C

Forgot to include, it's an Elan smartpad and nowhere it says what model

idk what else to tell you, reinstall GPU drivers, check for windows updates, reinstall steam & games
there are a fuck ton of people playing steam games on windows 10 and it works for them


sounds like you need to calibrate your touchpad or its just fucked
all i did was google "lenovo elan smartpad touch calibration you lazy double nigger"
support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht051417
1st result was a calibration utility from lenovo
2nd was a driver for your touchpad
3rd was this link that shows you how to calibrate your touchpad
4th result is a jewtube video tutorial on the same thing
==good luck== you helpless nigger

That's exactly why I asked, you subhuman degenerate. How do I google that if I don't know it's a calibration issue? The main reason I asked was because I ran out of ideas on what the hell to google.

now you know
goodluck
:)
sorry not sorry

It was the mouse acceleration you can turn off in regedit anyways, so you didn't help shit anyways.

How do I uncheck this? I'm trying to play an older game and it's cut in half. The only suggestion I found was disabling windows XP scaling in the control panel but it didn't work. Help.

Can anyone find me an Amazon WEBDL for Mr Robot S02E12?

For some reason I can't find any public releases...

Is KeePass2 safe?

Is there a way to proxify my connection to a specific site other than Tor?
One that is "foolproof"?
Any method that does not involve paying, or using a NSA, I mean VPN?

A regular proxy.


I would never trust .NET software. Just use keepassx instead.

Are you talking about shit like HideMyAss?
Aye Carumba

Other than a proxy? I don't really understand what you want

Don't "proxies" like kproxy, and all those simply act by re-directing your requests to appear as being from their servers?
Is there any way to tell if they actually keep your IP address away from the target site with the site's "reply"?

Start using the proxy, then google "what's my ip", see if it's yours or the proxy's. You mean like that?

Programming question: am I wasting memory/cpu power/pixie dust if I declare variables at the top of a large block of code and don't assign anything to them until much later down the line?

Another thing. This is kind of embarrassing, because I asked this before, but didn't check the answer, because the problem seemingly went away. My laptop battery is picrelated (was like that sometime earlier, but then it stopped for a while) and I guess it may be affecting the machine?

I got a bluescreen with a kernel data inpage error couple days ago, but a chckdsk I ran at boot didn't show anything - could it be the power problems fucking with the laptop this way? I keep it plugged when running now and it didn't repeat since.

I don't really move the thing outside the reach of the cable, can I ignore this issue for a while?

No, any compiler worth its salt does variable live range analysis. No storage is reserved for it before the first and after the last possible use.

So I'm looking at newer GPUs from both Nvidia and AMD and one thing I've noticed is that most of them have 3-4 DisplayPort ports, and maybe 1 DVI and/or HDMI port. Why so many DP ports? Are newer monitors actually using them or is it just cheaper to use DP?

Yes, newer monitors all have DP. It is the modern display connector standard meant to replace the obsolete DVI. Eventually, DVI is supposed to go the way of the VGA 15-pin port.

Not the original user you are responding to (man we really need IDs) but isn't DisplayPort supposed to be superseded by Thunderbolt/USB type-C?

I know that shitty XKCD comic gets thrown around too much bout proliferating standards. But considering display interfaces are managed by governing consortiums of companies you'd think they'd all finalize a single standard already

I know DVI never caught on as much as HDMI or VGA, but is it really being phased out already? Just last year it seemed like every graphics card had 1 or 2 DVI ports in addition to HDMI and maybe DP, and now some don't have DVI at all while having 2-3 DP ports.

DVI has limited bandwidth which can't be easily scaled up due to the parallel design. It's not enough to drive [email protected]/* */, for example, and displays like that are already on the market in stuffed normie-friendly prices.

DP uses a packet protocol that is much more flexible than the linear-scan approach used by DVI. This enables features like Multi-Stream Transport or high-speed embedded side-channels, which are impossible with DVI. Also, Adaptive Sync (AKA AMD FreeSync) is a DP feature, and it would be extremely hard to do with linear-scan, even if anybody gave a fuck to try.

That, and the DVI connector is YUUUGE, and can't be easily made smaller due to having lots of lines. DP is small and miniDP is even smaller. Having four DVI connectors would take the entire double-slot rear bracket. Four DP or seven miniDP slots can be easily fit on a single-slot wide bracket. Less lines also mean a less stiff cable.

So yes, DVI is utterly obsolete and is being phased out. The sooner, the better.


The USB type-C Alternate Mode you're referring to is implemented by using the DisplayPort protocol over some lines of the USB cable. It is likely to have limited bandwidth compared to a dedicated DP cable.

I built my rig about 4 years ago, after 1-2 years it started bluescreening a lot on Windows/crashing programs on linux. I supposed that it was a faulty RAM stick, so memtested it for about a full day, nothing. Changed slots, still same shit.
I then thought that it might be a faulty HD (since it was an old model from a previous computer), so I replaced it. The problem continued.
I then said fuck it and replaced the RAM, that fixed it.
For about a year.
The same issues returned, this time I ran a memtest on both sticks, and both were full of errors.

Now, am I just buying shitty ram that dies after a year of usage or is another component that's slowly destroying my RAM? Is every memory slot on my motherboard fucked? Is my motherboard fucked? Is my CPU fucked? How can I test them to know?

Drawfag here, I'm fucking sick and tired of Windows 10 (yeah I know its cancer, but I'm not extremely tech savvy).

To be honest I'm coming on here to see what you guess would recommend.

I'm in $400 tier shit brick, and I depend on it to draw most of my chicken scratches. So im think of getting a OS that:

Won't detect and disable my torrented programs, I need freedom to change this OS if needed.

Also, I rarely deal with computer issues such as viruses, trojan and other shit... I do research before these downloads. But what would you recommend for software to enhance the computers operating just a little bit and protect it.

Also if anything tips would be great, I plan on using this pc to it's best performance.

Does 10 actually disable pirated software? And do you have any objections to running Linux?

If you're good with computers, some linux distro, get one that's stable and robust, I've heard good things about slack.
Otherwise, pirate windows 7, disable updates.

user, I can't thank you enough.
Have some ASCII porn for your troubles:

Being drawfag I spent most of time mastering art, I just know tried to get into computer programming just to help me understand what actual goes on (you know to not be every artist on tumblr).

Linux I've never tried the thing is I dont have much experience with any other platform that window, ubuntu and mac os.

Thing is if it can allow me to pirate, avoid being caught for copyright infringement and let me have fun via torrented vidyas and movie and etc, then ill try it

Any good links to torrents? Oh also how about security via VPNs and anti malware stuff.

I appreciate the gesture anons, I barely delved into technology as a whole and this can help me both art and career wise.

What's the best booru browser for Linux? Ahoviewer doesn't seem to work on some booru urls.

Linux Mint or Ubuntu (preferrably a sub-distro like Kubuntu or Xubuntu since Ubuntu has had privacy concerns as of late) might be good if you don't rely on Windows-only software/drivers. Otherwise just pirate Windows 7 SP1. (Run GWX Control Panel to prevent an upgrade to Windows 10.)

Do you use Photoshop? If so you could try an alternative like Krita if you consider trying Linux.

I use Vanilla Music Player

I'm not really in need of help but I need a fast response and it's pretty late and this doesn't deserve its own thread. That aside, can someone take a look at my shitty AP Comp Sci java program and explain any improvements I could make?

sauce code p.teknik.io/WpGW1

if(scorePercent > 90 && scorePercent < 101){ scoreGrade = 'A';}else if(scorePercent > 80 && scorePercent < 91){ scoreGrade = 'B';}else if(scorePercent > 70 && scorePercent < 81){ scoreGrade = 'C';}else if(scorePercent > 60 && scorePercent < 71){ scoreGrade = 'D';}else{ scoreGrade = 'F';} Is 90% not considered an A at your school? If so, it should be >= 90. Also, why < 101? With your current code it just equates to F. The extra conditions for the if statement are also redundant. If the first if statement is true, then its code block will run and those conditions won't need to be checked for later in the code. if (scorePercent >= 90){ scoreGrade = 'A';}else if (scorePercent >= 80){ scoreGrade = 'B';}else if (scorePercent >= 70){ scoreGrade = 'C';}else if (scorePercent >= 60){ scoreGrade = 'D';}else{ scoreGrade = 'F';}

Is there a server stack that comes as retard-proof and pre-set as LAMP? I want something with a language that doesn't require me to recompile the server, like most languages do with Apache and still has the ease of use that PHP does. Something that I can just install in one night and be able to just echo "Goodbye World!";
away.

I really don't like to say it, but node.js would be perfect in that regard.

If he's running a shitty brick of a computer, he should try to minimize the memory and CPU usage as much as possible.

If the user you're responding to does in fact want to use 7 (or 8 for that matter), it's better to just install only security patches. Anything else should be installed and inspected manually to prevent unwanted stuff.

It requires a little more action but much less thought than installing a third party program which may or may not work later on down the road.

Never really have posted here before but have problem I've never heard of getting around before. Have an ISP, Bright house. Apparently they claim that they can view certain software on computers, notable P2P applications. Household has been hit with 8 or so copy right claims but are not specific in what they are, and they are constantly shutting off our internet. I've thought of torrenting within a virtual machine and transferring the files to an external drive to get what I want but I am not sure if that would work or not

If I want the max capacity of a raid pool to be six TiB hosting none critical but personally important data, which config would work best?
These are what I can think of quickly with some draw backs.
E.g 2 x 6 TiB in raid 1
Possibly the cheapest method but not alot of protection when one disk goes.
Or, 3x 3TiB in raid 5
A bit more reduncy but more expensive.
4 x 2TiB in raid 5
Same as above

No, you'd need a VPN instead.


3 drives in RAID5 are best, since it's extremely unlikely that that two or more drives fail at the same time, and you only lose one third of the total space to the redundancy.

Thanks for the super quick reply.

Have you enabled the encryption option in your torrent client by chance? If it is enabled and these are the results you are getting then is the only other way to get around it as torrent clients are known to not respect proxy settings.

I assume that you don't have a another desktop handy that you could swap parts out one by one. In that case, you may want check the fans on the CPU/GPU and see if they are ratevely dust clean. Also what is your PSU? Your system could be hitting the new watage celling after four years of use.

Did you try the "change settings of all users". Also the game may have a pcgamingwiki page which may link to fan patches/mods that allow it to work on modern systems.>>655870
The short and easy to explain way, the reporting methods are different.
Yes it is as it is designed to account for the completely different nature of an SSD.
from what i can gat6her it seems to jst do the same thing. do i do it?
Personally I don't really see the point of optimising an SSD as data isn't required to be placed in sequence like a HDD. Usually the SSD`s firmware controller has garbage collection built in or it is trival to enable in the OS.

How many times do you see yourself accessing the content on it? Also are you going to stream from it or is it just a archival disk pool. Also it can't hurt to make it a raid pool, raid 5 if you can afford it and raid 1 if that isn't possible at the moment.

One way that I see could technically in theory work, would be to use a x86 build of Android in a VM and than install the ubuntu image on top of it.

Yes it but the name escapes me.

Is there any legit replacement for flash for playing swf files? Speciafically on wangblows. Things like irfanview, mpc-hc, etc dont work as I have removed all adobe shit from my system (the inbuilt flash crap used by IE and taken advantage of by other programs to view swfs 'without flash'. Is there any way at all to play swfs, convert them, something?

Yeah, if I had another desktop I would be able to figure out the main problem, but still, it would take a lot of time since this problem only appears (I think) after a long while.
My fans are pretty clean right now and I clean them every 2-3 months or so.
My PSU is a Corsair CX500, motherboard a shitty Z87M-plus, i5-4430 and my RAM sticks are kingston DDR3 1333MHz 8gb. Don't know if this info would help at all.
Yes, I am a poorfag.

My current plan is slowly replace every part of my desktop until this shit stops happening. I'll go motherboard->CPU->PSU, if nothing changes I'll just kill myself.

Opera just released their VPN to the general public. Is it safe to use?

Opera's owned by the Chinese, so I wouldn't use it personally.

Oh shit! It's true! Quick, I need an Opera alternative!

I'm going to move into a new apartment in a week. Right now my internet options are:

AT&T, likely over $30 a month with a 1TB data cap, 12Mbps

Charter, likely over $30 a month, no data cap, over 60 Mbps

Pay guy above me $20 a month to use his Charter wifi. No data cap.

I'm probably gonna go with the last one. Can I set up some router so that it connects to this guys wifi, but broadcasts my own wifi? Also would like everything to go through a VPN.

Basically, does something like DD-WRT allow you to use both bridged mode and function as its own wireless/NAT/VPN ?

Dunno about DD-WRT, but OpenWRT definitely does. Assuming router's Wifi hardware is capable of doing that, of course.

How do I find the right settings to make my TV look good? I bought a low quality used HDTV and it looks like shit, but with all these settings surely I can make it look a little better?

I managed to uncheck the DPI settings but it didn't fix it. Checked the wiki but no mention of it. I don't think this is a common enough thing because I can't find anything about it on the internet. Thanks a lot though.

Another guess have you enabled the compability setting , most likely for XP SP 3?

I checked their list of supported devices and "Emulator x86" was one them. Now can't find a install image. system-image.ubuntu.com is a list of files only a few bites large. Even if they rar file am not sure if they're really install images.

you don't

I'm having trouble uploading a video to Holla Forums.
Its in Mp4 format 37M. I'm using VLC on windows. I beileve I have to cut the video to segment shorter than 10Mb which i did but when attempting to upload the site refuse the format, wanting h264 and AAC. How do i convert to those formats?
Help? I love screeeshots also.

just make it a webm
you dont even have to install anything

Hey Holla Forums, I keep getting this problem where I buy a USB drive, put files on the USB then it says "you are not the owner so you cannot change the permissions" or "unable to mount"

sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/[path to your drive]

you're missing the aac audio encoder, use vorbis for audio and vp8 or vp9 for video and you got yourself a nice webm.
If you can't do it, upload it here:
mixtape.moe/
and I'll convert it for you later.

It said

[sudo] password for user:anon is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

So I'm using parallel + optipng to compress all my images. Works on my laptop (F24 upgraded from F23 KDE) but now I want to do it on my desktop (F24 Gnome - fresh install).

Problem is that parallel on my new install errors out with command line being too long for all inputs:
$ parallel echo ::: a b cparallel: Error: Command line too long (6 >= 0) at input 0: a

parallel --version are the same for both systems.
Any ideas?

So I just took out a 1tb hard drive out of an old desktop and want to turn it into a portable hard drive. Can anyone give me tips on it so I don't mess it up?

Wew
There. Ya gitz.

(cheap)
all you need is a sata to USB + power dongle plug in and done

now you have a functional but ugly HD and a usb dongle to use on/test other drives
wew

(fancy)
buy one of those converter cases that you can plug the HDD into and they convert it to USB

make sure the drive will fit into the case you buy

Alright thanks!

Guys, is there a way to make utorrent continue seeding remaining files?

So what I do is I download huge packs, like a 350gb video collection. After pirating it I delete the shit I dislike, but if I start utorrent it will complain about missing files.

is there a way to tell this bitch to just seed the remaining files instead of trying to download the deleted shit?

Uninstall that piece of malware and get qBitTorrent. If you don't like qBitTorrent try Deluge or Transmission.

I actually have Deluge too, but it is a pain in the ass to use. I had to install a plugin that deletes files that I didn't select. For example if I download a album, or a discographies and want only a few songs out of them I end up having a shitload of files on my computer that are corrupted. And since I always forget which files I selected I don't know which one of those are good and which aren't

Also I asked here which version of utorrent I should use and you guys recommended utorrent 2.2.1 to me.

Qbittorrent does both. Firstly by only downloading what you select and working off that. Secondly placing unselected files in a hidden directory called .unwanted located in the root of the torrent directory. Any files that you select to download later on are moved out of .unwanted and into their correct place.

Is there any sleek non-firefox based open source browsers out there? I'm on Irdium as Firefox and Waterfox are soooooo fucking slow for some reason and I get some weird error for most pages.

I don't feel too good using any Chromium based browser, but Firefox is unbearably slow. I just want it to werk and look good.

Speaking of browsers, why do firefox based browsers (Tested Waterfox, Firefox Developer and Pale Meme) give me this weird error? Only started happening a day ago, no clue why. Irdium and IE works fine.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this font problem with Japnese text on Quod Libet? Current font is Nimbus Sans. Changing it to something Times Roman-esque fixes it, but in most sans fonts this problem reappears.

Right click menu doesn't show up in the firefox when used on something like this text box or an image I want to save but it'll show up anywhere else I right click like the space next to this text box.

The menu for noscript won't show either.

Firefox in safe mode fixes it, but in normal mode with all add-ons disabled, it isn't fixed.

wat do

How can I change this so that the picture is matches with the text? I want the picture width to be whatever it needs to be so that the margin on its left with the two text boxes is the same as the right.

So, I'm trying to get my footer to be at the bottom of the page, even if there's not enough content to fill the page. I am not trying to fix it to the bottom, I don't want it just following forever if I keep scrolling or anything like that, I just want it at the bottom.

A list apart .wrapper{ min-height: 100%; position: relative; } footer{ width:100%; height:100px; position:absolute; bottom: 0; left:0; color: red; } This is a list snip snip

Here's what I have so far. Anyone know why it isn't working? The wrapper is set to have a min-height of 100%, yet using inspect element reveals it has a height of roughly 324px, which is obviously wrong. Any help?

What image viewer in linux plays gifs?

Just had to reinstall windows 7 and I'm getting the updates sorted out. Which are the ones to avoid again?

I installed white LED strips into my computer and they both worked fine for a week but the top one suddenly turned color to an odd dull green color and there's only one LED at the end of the strip that's white.

Is it a problem with the connecter? I've fiddled with it a bit but it didn't seem to solve anything.

This question is stupid but I've tried wording it in different ways and I don't get any relevant search results.

I mistakenly ran a game as superuser and now any time I attempt to run it, it asks for the superuser password. It does this even after I reinstalled the game and purged all its configuration files. I guess I could just run it as superuser but I'd prefer to clear this up. What could be causing it to be asking for superuser privileges? I've scoured the /root directory for any game files that it might be needing the password to access but there's nothing. The game is running natively on Linux not through WINE.

I've taken a look at the code. Essentially, it uses the windows firewall for the rules and the software to prevent action taken to the firewall without using tinywall.

It can be bypassed by opening group policy as administrator though and creating a rule that way.

My laptop comes with a DVD-RW (D:) drive that can't play Blu-ray discs. I've downloaded at least three programs now that say they can play them but don't, because every time I try to select the movie itself, I only get the (D:) drive folder and can't open it up. Is there a way I can play physical Blu-ray discs on my computer without having to spend over $50 on an external USB drive that may or may not even work?

As rare as this sounds, I need to run a Linux-only application on my Windows install that requires full 3D OpenGL acceleration

How can I run Linux in a VM that allows me to accomplish this?

I know dualbooting is a thing but since this is just for 1 application I would rather setup a minimalist Debian install in a VM to strip off as much bloat as possible

PCI pass-through your GPU to the VM from the host machine.

This requires at least two GPUs though (even an IGP will suffice for the host)

So if I wanted to do it on my laptop I could passhtrough my integrated Nvidia chip while having my Intel HD series GPU for the host?

What software will I need?

What is the cheapest way to go about hosting a website? I need to register and maintain a website for a class, and I want to go about it as cheaply as possible. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this sort of thing.

What do you mean by this? You need to register a domain (like opisalwaysafaggot.net) and host a website, so your prof can go to opisalwaysafaggot.net and see your faggotry?

Yeah, that. Most common web hosting sites seem to charge on average like $80 for a year of hosting, which seems like a lot for what I need to do.

Well, you can get an .xyz domain from Namcheap for about $1 for the 1st year (unless the sale is over), and you can get a VPS from Scaleway for $3/mo (so $36/year), but if you don't know what you're doing, you might find that difficult.

If you know how to set up port forwarding on your home router, you could get a cheap SBC (~$25-35) and host the site at home, and use some type of dyndns setup to point your domain to your home-hosted site. You'd need basically the same level of skill to do this as you would to host on a VPS.

So that extra $40-50/year you pay for managed hosting is so you don't have to deal with this shit yourself. You can either pay more for an ezpz hosting situation with cPanel or similar where all you have to do is click buttons to get everything set up, or you can learn some basic sysadmin and DNS skills and save money.

4chan and some Russian chans are getting DDOSed. It happened last week to Holla Forums too.

Thanks for clarifying. So now all I can do is waiting?

Ok let me re-iterate this.

I'm retarded and accidentally ran an installer program that did not under any circumstances require superuser privileges. After doing so the program always requests superuser priviliges when executing. Removing every file related to it and trying to re-install did not change this and running a search with grep using terms related to the program turned up nothing. The installation log for the program did not shed any light on the situation either.

The program (unlikely since its just a game) or my system (most likely) must have changed a file somewhere that is causing it to recognize the program and request superuser priviliges, does anyone have any idea what this might be?

What torrent site should I be using nowadays? I still use Deluge for a client, but PirateBay was compromised long ago, and KAT seems to be that way since they're pestering me to make a free account and shit. Any other sites that are popular enough but not shit?

I'm running Linux Mint, and every now and then all the text on my computer gets fucked, not in an encoding way, but random bits of text are replaced with spaces. I should've taken a screenshot last time this happened but I didn't think about it. I thought it had to do with encoding because the first time it happened I was in Jap Shift-JIS locale, but apparently it's unrelated. Restarting Cinnamon doesn't fix it, and the problem spans all programs, not just Cinnamon.

Example:
becomes

Rebooting fixes it obviously, but if anyone has any idea what causes it and how to prevent it, or at least how to fix it without having to reboot, that would help immensely. It doesn't seem to happen often.

Hi Holla Forums
I'm a tech-illiterate idiot who "upgraded" to Windows 10 several months ago
I'd like to begin torrenting anonymously soon, and I don't really know how to go about it
Any way I can get Windows 7 anonymously at this point without being fucked?
More importantly is there a wiki/guide for complete retards/newfags to this shit like me?

You know, it was almost one of those "I-know-this-probably-isn't-going-to-work-but-fuck-it-I'll-try-it-anyway-just-to-be-completely-sure" things I often do when I don't know what else to try, so maybe that's why I did it in the first place. Still not really logical but if I had some kind of reasoning behind it, I guess it would be that. No one really told me to try that, it was just my own stupidity. I tend to think of myself as fairly intelligent but I have almost no common sense sometimes and do autistic-level things like this quite often. I haven't had virus protection on any of my devices for a little over five years now and have gotten very few viruses on them so in all honesty, I'm not really too worried about that. However, I took your advice just to be safe and luckily, nothing popped up.

Is there a graphic equalizer configuration for dealing with people who insist on using a $3 microphone AND fuck up the encoding process? An EQ for cutting through the hiss, noise, and excessive lows that drown out people's voices in so, so many videos and audio recordings on the internet?

Just get an Android phone, dude. At least there's some precautions you can take with the botnet since there are custom roms you can switch to to remove all the Google apps, and shitloads more open source software. You can even revoke permissions from the apps so they can't spy on you, or use software to feed them false information. And there's microg so that apps that rely on Google won't crash.


No, you fucking moron. Shit is being written to your disk almost every time you do something with it. Just stop deleting shit. How long before you realize you need these files? Instead of permanently deleting them right away, send them to the trash/recycle bin depending on your OS, or make your own and use that, for a long enough period of time that the number of files you deleted that you actually needed goes down. Only permanently delete shit that you know for certain you want to rid yourself of immediately and forever.


check'd and kek'd


umatrix is easy as fuck. You can choose on what scopes to filter for (global, domain, subdomain), and on every page you have a matrix of content to allow/disallow and the subdomains they are coming from. You can click the top half of each cell to allow, bottom half to block, or anywhere to remove your selection, because you can also filter entire rows and columns so by default no selection means it inherits the selection. It also has options for user agent spoofing, referrer spoofing, and strict https. Sometimes it can be a pain in the ass to get a website working, but you make it as hard or easy as you want it to be depending on how safe and secure you want to be.

If spyware is your only concern, I believe that takes care of it for the most part.


gross


Default settings with color IDs on and loop video turned off. Most of my settings have to do with theming and and filtering ancient spam or certain shitposters.


If you're just concerned about security issues with the Flash plugin, and not about running closed-source software, you could download the standalone exe on their website. Called "projector" or something like that. Then just drop it in your Program Files or some other location where you won't be tempted to relocate it, and set that exe as the Default Program for the swf extension.

For browsing, I hear Chrome/Chromium has a third-party plugin.


Cyanogenmod is good, but they're faggots. Requires a patch to get microg working unless you plan on installing the xposed framework. Comes with an easy to use privacy settings in addition to the normal app permissions, that isn't as extensive as xPrivacy but is actually secure unlike xPrivacy. Omnirom will work with microg without patching, but doesn't come with the privacy settings that CM has. CM also has a theme engine.


All websites or specific websites?
If it doesn't matter what website it happens on, then it's because Firefox is shit. Happens all the time on mobile Firefox and forks. Welcome to the shitty browser club, now accepting PC members. Turn off OCSP settings in about:config then reset them to back to default. Now you should be able to proceed.
If it happens on specific websites, it's the webmaster's fault and there's not really anything you can do about it but bypassing Firefox's security settings. Which is obviously not recommended, but sometimes it can take forever for them to fix it. You could write them an angry email, I suppose, but >implying they're going to read it.


Try creating a new profile and slowly make it just like your old one. Also get umatrix, it's better than noscript.

Deluge is shit, just get qbittorrent. KAT got taken down some months ago, so it's compromised. rarbg.to, searx.me (File search returns results from piratebay and gives you a magnet link without having to even visit the webpage), and all the usual public trackers that come up in a startpage search.

Since you're already botnet, you'll want to use a different machine to do all this. I hear the anti-piracy is hardcore in Windows 10, and you know Microsoft products are first priority.

Or you could always try Linux Mint.

How do I edit the search in the context menu when text is selected? I want Firefox to send it to the search engine as "selected text here" instead of "selected", "text", and "here" as separate words.

I own the file, and it can be executed by anyone, it's not an issue with file ownership/permissions.

You put quotes around it like you did just there.

For MPD is there a way to add suffixes when it searches for music? Or does that require me to recompile it myself?

I have the Adplug decoder enabled, and I want to add CMF just as a test since Adplug supports it.

A simple problem, but i can't find shit on it:
I have a monitor, pic related. It has 2 hdmi inputs, and works just fine. However, if i plug two hdmi cables in (Wii U and PC), the monitor always swaps to the one by the PC. I can manually switch inputs all i want, it never displays the Wii U feed. Only if i plug out the PC hdmi cable, it'll allow the switch.

To me it seems like it prioritizes the PC, possibly the PC sends something additional via HDMI that forces the monitor to switch to it. However the only feature i could find thats possibly related to this (DDC/CI) is turned off on the monitor. What else could it be?

The PC hdmi cable is plugged into a PCIe GPU, not the mainboard, and the GPU is an AMD R9 290 if that matters.

But can't I edit the search parameters used by the context menu to automatically put the quotes?

i want to mash every single clip here and get rid of gaps without pressing g and pressing ctrl and moving for every single one because this is too slow

Cont.: This seems to be unrelated to the Wii U, even if i switch to an analog input like VGA, it always jumps back to PC after a few seconds. Only without the PC plugged in i can freely switch around.

I'm a dumbass when it comes to tech, but is it possible to downgrade from windows 10 to windows 8 or 7?

No, your harddrive is now eternally blighted by Windows 10s devilish rune magic of course its possible, dumbass

When did you upgrade?

short story:
this was back in april/may of this year.

Welp, Microsoft gave 30 days to downgrade from Windows 10 before the Anniversary Update. Now it's only 10 days.

Assuming you have a valid license, you can download the Windows 7 ISO from Microsoft: microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7

Even if you don't have a valid license, you can download a Windows 8.1 ISO from Microsoft as well: microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8

This Windows 8.1 ISO will let you use both Windows 8 and 8.1 product keys.

Meant for .

Should have just ordered yourself a new hard drive and replaced it yourself, it's pretty easy to do. Even the most Holla Forums illiterate person should be able to do it.

Parallel is a Perl script. What versions of perl do you have on those systems?

Fossamail

The appropriate board to ask is >>>/fs/

Gwenview


If you use addons, then wait. Addons need to be updated to be compatible with that shit.

Do you have source code for this application, or is it binary-only? You might be able to recompile it under Cygwin if the former.

Likely a GPU driver problem. Does it happen only in apps using a specific UI toolkit? What GPU and driver stack? AMD Catalyst, amirite?

Hey tech, the battery on my Thinkpad X220 just shit itself. I think the one that I bought it with is actually a chink knockoff. I'd like a genuine one, since they're better. Can you tell me which of these is legit?

ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xlenovo x220 battery.TRS0&_nkw=lenovo x220 battery&_sacat=0

I know there are some which say "genuine" but are they really? The genuine one is 2-4 times as pricey, is it worth it?

I need your advice, Holla Forums.
I think it would be useful to keep my /usr/local on a separate partition from /
(if I change/reinstall distro, it would be nice to keep all my compiled programs)
I already have /home on a separate partition.
I was thinking of moving my /usr/local on the /home partition next to my home dir and symlinking it to /usr/local on the / partition.
If that's not a bad practice, I'd also do the same with /opt and /var (I have a 500GB hdd and I keep most of my media on an external drive, so I have plenty of room to grow my pacman cache in case of emergency).
Should I do this?

Unless you statically link those programs, they are probably dependent on specific versions of some libraries your system has. Sharing binaries between different linux distros is generally a bad idea.

That said, the cleanest way to do it would be to use btrfs for your /home partition and creating alt roots for the other dirs.

I changed my computer's boot order, making the network boot (which I've never used) to the bottom, putting above it the USB drive and then the SATA.
Now, when I press del, it will start the bios, and then freeze up, if I leave it be, the logo starts, tgen freezes up too.
WHAT THE FUCK DID I ACTUALLY DO, AND HOW DO I FIX IT?

Okay so update on this, hopefully it will help.

I am now on a different WIFI network and the VPN now works fine, but what went wrong? Why could I not use it on one router but not the other?

Thank you for the recommendations. Searx.me is fantastic, I wish I had known about it sooner! I've been using iquickx for search, but I just found my new search engine waifu.

This "Camera Roll" folder reappears every time it's deleted. Drives me up the wall because it ruins my autistically perfect pictures folder. How can I nuke it?

No worries lads, I found the I N T U I T I V E A S F U C K solution!

So I know Tor's first layer of encryption happens "on the first router", however, what actually is the first router? Is it my pc? Does my little home router my ISP gave count? Do they mean the first tor node?

I just want to know from where till where my traffic goes unencrypted. I already know that for clearnet everything after the exit node is out in the open, but what about everything before it? Can anyone else in my apartment for example still make sense of intercepted traffic regardless of Tor usage?

Hey Holla Forums, i left chkdsk running overnight after i had a freeze and now my HDD isn't being recognized as a bootable device (it doesn't even show up in the BIOS). is it dead?

Get a linux live image and repair it from there.


Everything the tor daemon sends out is encrypted. So if you run the daemon on the same PC you use to browse, you're fine. Even if you were to use a tor daemon from a different PC the connection would still be encrypted since it is connected as a SOCKS proxy.

That's what I'm gonna do right now. Is there anything I should be aware of?

Does anyone here have any experience with dm-crypt/LUKS?

I’ve got an SD card with the following partitions:
-UEFI system partition (FAT32, not encrypted)
-root file system (F2FS, encrypted)
-swap (encrypted)

I’m using the same password for both encrypted partitions. I’m not using LVM.
When the system boots I enter one password and *both* partitions are unlocked. Now I was expecting having to enter my password twice. Is this the default or something, when using the same password for all partitions on the same disk?

/etc/crypttab entries are:
luks-6b5… UUID=6b5… none
luks-8e3… UUID=8e3… none

School is blocking muh gaymes. It looks like it's just a straight block of the server site. Tracert is a full page of "Request timed out".

Is the swap partition ignored or available?

Ok so I'm trying to get my X200 to call xscreensaver and lock the screen when the lid is closed. To do this I edited /etc/acpi/handler.sh to look like this:
button/lid) case "$3" in close) logger 'LID closed' xscreensaver-command -lock ;; open) logger 'LID opened' ;; *) logger "ACPI action undefined: $3" ;;
And if I call it manually with the arguments "button/lid" "LID" "close", it works as intended, and these three arguments show up through acpi_listen when I close the lid. However closing the lid still did nothing. Some quick searching showed that systemd's logind was probably handling it rather than ACPI, and sure enough it was set to HandleLidSwitch=ignore. However after commenting this out and restarting logind, closing the screen now sets the system to suspend. ACPID is active, so I have no idea why closing the lid isn't calling handler.sh. Any help?

It's used by the Camera Roll library. Just leave it alone.

This is a bit of an awkward question:
What's the best windows you can possibly get 4free?
I heard 10 is having some bullshit lock up and the last windows I personally used extensively was windows 7. Is 8.1 any good? Should I go for Windows 10?
It's not for me though, it's for my family and they are used to windows, I tried getting them into mint and failed miserably, they went into fetal pose as soon as they found anything remotely different.
I don't want to pay for some windows shit and I would really rather avoid dealing with the bullshit I heard Windows 10 is doing. I guess for activator I'll go with whatever works from mydigitallife (KMS Pico or whatever).
Any suggestion or download link for an specific version that doesn't suck balls and/or would get broken as fuck in a matter of weeks?

Is there a program for making USBs you plug in auto mount? I'm using void linux and I want things to "just werk" like on windows.

most DEs should do that automatically. KDE, GNOME3, etc should all do that.

w7 is the easiest to pirate afaik.

I have xfce4 but it isn't doing that, unless I'm just dumb and don't know where to look.

I am using firefox for something (not a problem) which is making it consume all my RAM and then go to swap. How can I limit it to say 500 MB RAM and rest in the swap? Using cgroups? I found this link, but not sure if this will work.

Hey Holla Forums I recall reading a article, that all computers made after a certain date had some sort of hardware installed in them. That would basically invaded your privacy or could link the owner to the device. Does anyone know the name of that, Thing? I cannot for the life of me search the key words to find it. any help would be greatly appreciated. YES I KNOW GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION IS NOT MY THING

libreboot.org/faq/#intel
That's probably it.

please excuse my ignorance, but isn't that software or some bios upgrade ( I didn't read it all) i was under the impression that it was some form of hardware like a chip of some sort installed in all computers after a certain date more recent than 2006. but that may be it thanks for your response.

You mean the Intel Management Engine and that's exactly what this describes.

Super quick question:

I'm doing some research on VoIP encryption.
I set up a system that uses ZRTP + SRTP for encrypting audio-only communications.
I'm running tests to see if I can manage to decrpyt the whole thing as an intruder would.

I captured an example of the communications with Wireshark, but when I look at the packets captured that's where my experience with this stuff seems a bit insufficient to make sense of the whole thing.

My goal is to be able to listen to all or at least some of the conversation I captured.

In order to make this as uncomplicated as possible, I decided to go step-by-step since I'm not super confident in my VoIP decryption skills.

Step 1 is to check an example of absolutely UNencrypted RTP traffic. This is where I want help from you guys. I have set up a test network, placed my two softphone devices in there, but I couldn't find software that let me do that.

Currently looking into legacy versions of Skype. Would that be a good client for testing?

Disregard that, I suck dicks. Just found a sample capture on the Wireshark Wiki.

Here's the link in case anyone CTRL+F's the same issue.

4chan is really down this time.

Just put a png there and it should stop complaining.

So apparently the entire icons folder was deleted, but I made it continue by just re-entering my sudo password. This whole process just seems odd. Apparently mintupdate now will not work properly at all unless run as root instead of just asking for it as needed.
In case Mint somehow fucks itself up, any recommendations for a new distro?

I accidentally my whole registry after re-installing Windows XP on my PC, but all the programs and personal data (including, but not limited to, "WINDOWS" and "Documents and Settings" folders) are still there. Is there some way for me to restore registry keys back to their location, or am I fucked?
Does it even matter?

This is a shitty botnet laptop actually. Intel graphics and CPU. All running programs seem to be affected, so I don't know if it's related to a specific toolkit.


If it's not for you, I would get them at least Windows 8.1 for security and compatibility reasons. If they're tech babbies then they probably won't even care if they're being spied on by jews trying to sell advertising. And if the new touch screen start menu bullshit scares them, you can install Classic Shell to make it work just like regular old Windows. He's right though


Most Windows programs don't actually require any registry entries in my experience. I would just reinstall programs as needed, there's usually not that many.

However, if the old registry files are in there, you could try the process outlined here: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc939136.aspx (Note that this would need to be done from outside Windows, such as from a Linux Mint live CD. And as always, back up your shit in case you fuck something up so you can easily reverse it.)

It's really not worth it though, unless you lost a software or video game license key or something, so I don't why you'd even bother.

So, I have a custom context menu entry in wangblows to upload shit with a script. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\Upload\Command]@="C:\\Utils\\upload.bat \"%1\""
The script is just this curl -F file=@%1 0x0.stpause whick works fine when called from terminal, but after my system BSOD'd during some weird shit I now get error in pic related whenever I use the context menu entry. Any ideas?

Check the registry entry to see if it got malformed maybe?

My choice: Install zpaq from your distro repos:
mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html
First command, with whatever parameters you need, since you are on a linux distro, something like
zpaq a ~/backup.zpaq ~/*
should "just work".
You can also add that command in crontab to automate it:
cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-add-jobs-to-cron-under-linux-or-unix-oses/
zpaq compresses much better than 7z and appends each time, so you can recover any backup, not just the last one.

It's possible to replace the graphics card in Thinkpads, right? Mine's fucked.
W700, Nvidia Q 3700M default. I'm about to just buy a 3800M, because I've never bought a replacement part for a laptop and I'm also retarded.

It is technically possible. But its not practical for the average pleb. Special equipment is needed to apply BGA chips to motherboards, its not as simple as a soldering iron.

You could try taking it to a repair shop that has the tools for the job, but it might cost about as much as a new laptop altogether

systemd is garbage for a multitude of reasons i'm sure everyone is aware here

I am currently testing lrzip with the -zr flags.

Most of it can probably be explained by how used people have gotten to the specifics of distro's that have it to the point where it may seem very hard and not worth while to switch over.

If they're so scared by Mint/KDE, they will be TERRIFIED by Windows 8 and newer. Talk about "different".

I just remembered the ol' sfc /scannow trick to magically fix everything, and it worked. I have to fix some of my theming shit that windows considered 'corrupted', but I can live with that.

I was messing around last night installing different Ubuntu packages and installed Steam just fine. Then all of the sudden, after installing Xubuntu again, I could no longer install Steam. It was literally working just fine 15 minutes before on the same system. Now I get:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: steam:i386 : Depends: libudev1:i386 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 but it is not going to be installed

If I paste this into Google, I get canned answers. Basically either saying add i386 to dpkg archs (it's done and been added well before), use synaptic to clear broken packages (there are none), use aptitude to find a solution (aptitude's solution is to uninstall the entire OS, not a bad idea tbh), or switch to the main mirror and update, as well as any combination of '-f install', 'update', 'upgrade', 'dist-upgrade', etc...

My best guess is that upstream Steam needs to update and use newer libraries. Steam's .deb package also will not install. It needs curl, which I have, but it's not satisfied with the version I have.

I'm fairly new to apt and I'm quite used to rolling release where this shit never happens. It's really frustrating and if someone can confirm what I believe to be true, it would help put me at ease. I'm thinking there isn't anything I can do on my end, but please let me know if this is false.

I currently have a dual-boot, Mint 17.3 live+Win7. When Mint is booted, I have an access to a Windows part, but can't see Linux disk part when I use Windows. Is there any way to see Linux part content from Windows since it wasn't encrypted during installation, and will it still be visible if I use possibility of the encrypted install?

that's because each install is using a differnt filesystem. Mint (probably) using ext4, and Windows using NTFS. NTFS drivers are included in mint, but ext4 drivers aren't included in Windows.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I use dual-boot because need Windows for work and afraid of boss seeing my Brazilian zoo-necro-tranny-copro-rape porn I store on the Linux part since they use spying stuff to make sure I'm actually working during the day. If they install ext4 drivers, could they see an encrypted Mint system?

Not if it's encrypted.
If it's unencrypted it's as trivial as looking at an external hard drive

Thanks a lot m8. I'll encrypt it in a standard way and additional TrueCrypt.

truecrypt is dead and literally NSA it's abandoned and has known unfixed security holes
you should look into VeraCrypt instead if you want to keep individual "top secret" folders encrypted.

Microsoft refuses to support any filesystem that isn't encumbered by their patents. For example, Android phones format their SD cards as FAT, because they know it won't work in people's PCs any other way. Ergo, each Android phone purchased (a phone running on the free Linux kernel) is money in Microsoft's pocket.

That's what anti-competition looks like, and it would never work unless Microsoft was a monopoly in the desktop market.

What's the best sotware for windows to re-container MKVs into something that Vegas/Premiere can use?

Video so I'm not ignored.

I have an encrypted system spanning multiple drives and volumes. I want to be able to enter a passphrase at boot to open the root volume, and then use crypttab and etc to open and mount all of the other volumes. I've done this successfully. My issue is that during boot, when I am prompted for the passphrase to the root volume, i am also prompted for the passphrase of every other encrypted volume. Is there any way to disable this so that I am only prompted for the passphrase of the root volume?

Use ffmpeg, it can convert anything into anything. Go to their webpage, download the 64-bit static package (assuming you're using 64-bit), extract the three .exe files and put them into your home folder (C:\Users\Whatever).

When you want to convert something, put it in your home folder (the same as where the binaries are) and you can run

ffmpeg -i FILE.mkv -f avi -b:v 800k -b:a 192k FILE.avi

-i specifies INPUT
FILE.mkv is whatever you're converting, it can also be a path (e.g. C:\Users\Whatever\Downloads\FILE.mkv). If it has spaces use quotes.
-f specifies FORMAT, this can be largely whatever you need
-b:v specifies the video bitrate, you can omit this
-b:a specifies the audio bitrate, you can omit this
The final argument, FILE.avi, is the output

ffmpeg hipster_meme.mp4 -f webm hipster_meme.webm
Is a basic example with the file you provided.

Forgot the -i before histper_meme.mp4...

Oh, and output will be in your home folder, but you can also specify that. If my username on Wangblows was shit head, I could do

ffmpeg -i "c:\users\shit head\videos\hipster_meme.mp4" -f webm "c:\users\shit head\desktop\hipster_meme.webm"

I'm looking to specifically recontainer them, not convert them. I'm also looking to recontainer like 20 videos at a time.

I can understand Vegas because it ahsn't gone anywhere in years, but it's fucking ludicrous when Premiere supports ALL the CRAZY proprietary containers and codecs the film industry uses (which they have to pay royalties to use) but it STILL can't read MKVs, a well established free format that would take virtually no real effort or money to add. This is why we need free software. Unfortunately videophile software is too complex for lone GNU/Linux neckbeard programmers to efficiently and effectively create for any real world applications (especially when most editors aren't even suitable for hobbyists when it comes to the advanced stuff)

Oops, you even said that in your original post. Disregard that, sorry I can't be of help.

After upgrading Mint to 18, using youtube-dl with torsocks now has a horrible memory leak problem. I have 32 GB RAM, and if I don't stop the program it will use all of it until the computer freezes. The first time it slowed to near unusability. (I don't know if torsocks gives youtube-dl privacy, I just use it to get around occasional copyright blocks.)
In htop the actual command hoarding the memory appears to be "ffmpeg -version". (It was avprobe before I removed avconv, so I don't think it's either program.) Testing URLs with youtube-dl without torsocks it seems to work just fine. It's just using Torsocks that has the problem. Torsocks with other programs like wget still seems to work, so I'm not sure where else to troubleshoot. (Doesn't matter if it's youtube or some other website. Same problem.)
Should I just file a bug report to torsocks/youtube-dl?

Anyone here have any experience with Grub chainloading?

I have a sneaky little idea

I have an Intel Atom tablet with a 32-bit BIOS
Now normally this means I can only boot 32-bit OS' even though I have a 64-bit CPU

Getting around this in Linux is piss easy, I just add a 32-bit UEFI.elf file to the boot directory and I can run 64-bit Linux fine

But Linux does not have the touch screen or wifi drivers to support my tablet

So I want to go with a 64-bit Linux install

The way I plan on doing this is using 32-bit Grub to chainload a 64-bit Windows install by first booting the Windows installer and then manually adding a grub bootloader to the main HDD of the Windows install so it will boot

The problem is I have no fucking idea what I'm doing

Any links or whatever for setting up Grub to boot Wanglows?

mkv is literally the most widely used and the most versatile container format in existance.
It may be possible to recontainer them, since many proprietary formats are not nearly as versatile. mkv let's you pair virtually any subtitle, video & audio stream (for example opus & h.264). This means that you may have to use a seperate audio & video streams. Again, ffmpeg is your best friend.

ffprobe video.mkv
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c copy newcontainer.meh
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c:v copy -vn output.meh
-c:v copy = copy video stream
-c:a copy = copy audio stream
-c = codec
-an = no audio
-vn = no video

I switched from Windows to Ubuntu. I hated unity and looked at Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Debian to finally settle with elementary OS. It looks nice out of the box but eOS Loki 0.4 is still buggy and I dislike the lack of customizability.
Is there some decent operating system which doesn't require severe autism and countless hours to configure like Arch, Slack or Gentoo to look decent?

You don't need to install a new distribution every time you want to change your look in GNU/Linux.
All you need to do is install a new desktop environment with your package manager.

KDE / Plasma is probably the best looking and easiest to customize, but requires a fair amount of resources
LXQt has a similar look and requires less resources
Cinammon looks pretty good out of the box
GNOME is not beloved on Holla Forums, but it looks good and is easy to configure.

I forgot to mention, I am opening the additional encrypted volumes with a keyfile specified in crypttab, not a passphrase. That's why, to me, it seems redundant to be prompted for a passphrase. Having to input 3 passphrases is just annoying. I'm looking for a way to make it so that it only prompts for the passphrase of the root volume, as there is no reason to prompt for the passphrases of the other volumes because they will be decrypted and mounted automatically with a key file

What does the entry look like? I would assume you just need to put /dev/null instead of a password in the entry, if it's just unlocked with the keyfile.

In crypttab? I have the path for the keyfile where the password would be

crypt-volume UUID=blahblah /path/to/keyfile luks

hey Holla Forums
best app for blocking street shitting robo calls? Do they even fucking work?

The most recent one was from my own area code and I thought it was a call for an interview or something, kind of pissed me off.

I can't, It might be a potential employer

is it worth the $36? Is there a way I can jew them to lower the price?

plsnobully

Mr. Number has worked for me. Just make sure you turn off all the notifications and alerts or it's like you didn't even block anything.

thanks user

What filesystem are you using for your Linux partition(s)?

Can't you run Windows in a VM?

torsocks is an ugly hack anyway, to be used only if the app in question doesn't natively support SOCKS proxies. Tell instead youtube-dl to use Tor with --proxy socks5://localhost:9050/
Also, there is the experimental --geo-verification-proxy option which uses the given as argument proxy only for location-checking connections (regional copykike shit you mentioned), then downloads directly.

I'm going to be running into a lot of problems today, but the first is this.
I'm using void linux and when I tried to install git I got a "Transient resolver failure" error.
I tired xbps-install -Su and got the same fucking thing.
Googling this isn't getting me anything.

Can anyone help?

To give the whole message.
Error: [reposync] failed to fetch file 'repo.voidlinux.eu/current/x86_64 - repodada' : Transient resolver failure

I have an HDD formatted as XFS.
The problem is how do I have write permissions on other linux user account?

my 1st account (1000) is the owner of the HDD. owner:user1 group:wheel

I added the HDD into group:wheel and got read permissions at least, how do I make this work with the 2nd account (1001)/user2?
I only seem to be having only the read permissions when mounted on user2.

pls halp..

What's a really good free VPN to use, and how can I set it up so everything I do inside my browser is encrypted?
Also a family member is claiming that you can find his EMail if you know what his IP address is. I don't really know how to respond to this, but the collective answer whenever I search for this phenomenon is 'no, that's not actually a thing.'

If you whois a website/IP address you'll get the email of the owner/registrar.

IF you are using a fiber optic or PPP (pont to point) then your account is out in the open.
This is what FBI agents do when they need to find out about a person's location/address for v&ning lets say you downloaded an illegal torrent and your IP will show up in the peers.
The FBI will try to whois or ask the respective ISP about your details IF you are using a static IP ur fucked. If dynamic then you're still fucked either way since the ISP logs everything.

You gave up your anonymity the moment you subscribed an internet connection with your address, contact, full bio and shit.

Another thing is those ads, Operating systems, botnets like google chrome track whatever you do online. The moment you log in your social to chrome you associated yourself to the unique identifier embedded in the software, same goes for harmful OS like windows. They know where you've been, what devices you had used (USB serials), what devices you have (MAC addresses in ur home network). All of it.

They know more than what a typical serial stalker would know about you and your friends. They have your voice, your picture, your fantasies.

Web encryption? they don't give a fuck.
Encrypt your shit online?
LOL some org sucks all the data. Don't fall for the "storage moores' law is too slow" they have all the tech and capacity to suck and store what all those deep sub optic cables are carrying and oh, another deep sub fiber got ((cut)) again? more like tapped again.

Sure all your data are encrypted and SAFE for TODAY but those are crackable in under 10 years.

remember how we started with 256-bit encryption? maybe even 64-bit lmao security is a delusional complex math problem.

forced to use windows 10 for my job, any way to disable updates?

They're getting spam from gay porn websites though. How would it get my email from whois? I just tried to whois my own IP and didn't come up with anything pertaining to an EMail of his. I do have a single Peer to Peer connection over Tox. That's where my information is exposed?

Some user signed you up for kek or the 3rd party ads sold your data.

Pretty sure you have android phone too which could also be the culprit.
Even that "battery app you know" can retrieve all the email in your phone.

What software do you use to backup your Linux installation and files? I'm thinking of doing just plain Clonezilla onto a spare hard drive, but isn't that a bit inelegant? Shouldn't I be able to do backups while I'm logged in? FYI my system is encrypted with LUKS in case that complicates anything.

I've been trying but failing to de-botnet CyanogenMod, but the reliance on ambient SDK cuts too deep.
What ROM that is currently still being maintained should I try for my oneplus2? I love ResurrectionRemix but can't get over CyanogenMod's tracking features, and omnirom doesn't support my device and doesn't look as active these days.
I'm considering trying to just run AOSP but my device requires a bunch of binary blobs and I'm not sure how difficult it'd be to port it.

I need help setting up key-based SSH authentication for use with PuTTY, so far I've done everything you can find on your average guide, created the RSA keypair with puttygen and configured authorized_keys and sshd_config. But everytime I try to connect from my windows laptop PuTTY always returns an error requiring pubkey's authentication, even if choose the private key from the Auth option and from Pageant.
What can I do?

privacytools.io, just in case.

What does an IDE that vim, emacs or even gedit can't do? Do I need one if working under in linux?

C++ is an extension of C. Code written in C is compilable with C++ compilers.
This results in a shitty syntax, even worse than Java.

I just washed a dirty as fuck keyboard with 70% isopropyl, how long do you guys think til its dry enough to use?

Well the isoprop will vaporize quicker than the water.
It depends on the amount of water on the electronics. Use common sense. Maybe wait a day.

I have some more suggestions.
Install F-Droid: [root not required] WIFI Police, /system/ app mover, AFWall+. [Root required] AdAway and SimpleReboot . Also most of the stock phone programs have good F-Droid replacements, e.g. OpenCamera for Camera and Silence for Messages.

Holla Forums,

A year ago, my laptops screen turned almost completely white, with some black at the bottom with internal cracks (?). VGA and HDMI ports work fine however. I noticed today however that if I open the lid (if its closed the display is turned off) once the screen comes on it actually displays proper for a few seconds, but then fades back to white (the black part stays black however). So, what kind of issue is this? Any insight?

Thank for reading my blog

I recently moved to a new apartment with a new internet provider.
However, the router is a Zyxel P2812, and I have like 10ms delay when sitting 1 meter away from it using cable.
Speedtest.net shows speeds around 7-10 Mbps down and 0.2ish Mbps up. I'm supposed to have either 70/70, or 300/300 (not too sure according to contract).
Is there anything I can do, or should I demand a new router?

Is Zyxel shit-tier in general, seems to be an issue many people have.

Can I install Arch Linux from within an existing Windows installation or will I need to burn it to a disc?

From Windows you might be able to do it through a VM or cygwin, but it's always better to burn it on a flashdrive (that way you will have to configure it for your hardware and not a VM).

I need a video conversion software for chan related content creation.
It needs to support the essentials (.vob, .mkv, mp4, and .webm.)

How do I update a vertex array object?

And how do I create multiple vertex array objects and assign them to their respective attributes?

You'd think that with so many guides out there, one would make such important things immediately clear.

If opening & closing the lid changes anything on the screen you have a damaged display cable. It is much more likely to break than the rest of the screen.

Due to the site-wide sticky I have decided to give TOR a try, however I can not seem to get 8ch working in the TOR Browser.

First, it forces me to use recaptcha which defeats the point.
Second, I am unable to post text-media, or text-only posts. After clicking the "New Reply" button it just hangs indefinitely. I have tried enabling scripts on the 8ch domain, but I am kind of at a loss of how to get it to work correctly.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

How do I stay completely anonymous when browsing the web so my ISP can't see what I'm doing?

Using XAMPP for offline wordpress shit.

I'm trying to find out what the best practice is for dealing with file permissions for the htdocs folder, but can only find some half assed blogs and stack overflow shit that feels incomplete.

From what I can tell, it's something like:
sudo chown -R username:username /opt/lampp/htdocs

and then editing the /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf file to include my username as the 'User' instead of 'daemon', which is what it was set to after running the XAMPP security script.

My worry is that I'll change the file permissions to something bad unknowingly and it will cause issues when uploading the files back to the server (errors, exploits, etc).

From what I can tell GNU_Icecat isn't in the Gentoo repositories and hasn't been for years.
Why is that? How would I go about getting it myself? (I'm brand new to Gentoo and generally new to Linux)

Download the executable or the source from the icecat site and run or compile it. I found the precompiled binary to be ridiculously slow.

Icecat source is still from ESR 38. You should just download ESR 45 source and use the compile flags they used since Icecat is just a fancy recompile with a few extensions like HTTPS everywhere and libreJS that come with it.

I was playing some PC-9801 games via anex86 on wine and when I returned from full screen, my background showed what I think is the X11 framebuffer. It was fine when I reset it using feh, but it leaves me with potential security concerns. Does anybody know how to trigger a reset of the x11 framebuffer without restarting x?

Okay i have a curiosity i'm hoping one of you nerds might be able to answer
So my father has this notebook, fairly recent one from LG it has a mobile first gen core i7 the exact model i don't know and a geforce 335m with a 1600x900 LCD panel and it had some issues with windows (it would lock up completely at random, i ran stress tests on everything on an ubuntu livecd and it didn't. eventually backing up his data and reinstalling windows 7 fixed it).
But there's one curious fact about all of this, whenever i boot a livecd on it just a bit after the X server starts the image corrupts and spews some garbage before fixing itself (the usual green/yellow grid patterns or disruptive geometric shapes) (i'm assuming the weird graphics are caused by the operating system switching from the integrated gpu to the dedicated one, since that doesn't happen with the graphics card unplugged) but some times instead of the graphical artifacts it shows an image of the windows desktop. Is there any possible explanation for this? Sort of like monitor burn in except it's probably unrelated to the screen and more about something funky in the graphics card

do 64-bit and 32-bit width PCI slots experience contention with each other? Or are the separate?

What's a good circuit simulator for Linux?

I've been running into trouble with proprietary nvidia drivers with the GTX 750ti in slackware a great while now.

On 14.1 all attempts resulted in unbootable system, with or without nomodeset. Default drivers worked only with nomodeset, not x though.

Now with 14.2 out it works fine with defaults, no nomodeset needed, but installing proprietary drivers still causes unbootable system.

I've been going through checklists making sure all steps are in order, but obviously something is going wrong.

Help would be greatly appreciated. What log files should I be looking at to figure out something like this?

I'd still like to know why torsocks+youtube-dl causes the memory leak, but I guess that solves that. I set tor-dl as a command to use youtube-dl with the tor proxy to make it easier to use, but is there a way I could use mpv with tor/tor-dl? I rarely stream via Tor, but I like having the option.

Kinda forgot youtube-dl had proxy support.
Apparently mpv lets me pass arguments to youtube-dl, but I can't pass proxy arguments. (I usually download and watch later when it comes to Tor, but I like having the option.) Any variation I try seems to fail.
mpv --ytdl --ytdl-raw-options=proxy=socks5://localhost:9050 "$url"mpv --ytdl --ytdl-raw-options=proxy="socks5://localhost:9050" "$url" Either one results in Expected '=' and a value.Error parsing option ytdl-raw-options (option could not be parsed)Setting command line option '--ytdl-raw-options=proxy=socks5://localhost:9050' failed.Exiting... (Fatal error)

What do you do about loose USB and power ports? It can make a laptop nearly unusable. I heard USB pins can be bent back into place, but I'm afraid snapping the pins. What about the power though?

How can I use youtube-dl to go through a bunch of different channels one after the other? As in, I want to feed it say a dozen different channels to go through so I'm not having to do them individually one after another.

Xorg.log first and foremost.

Just simply add them to the end of each other, so that it becomes youtube-dl [options] $1 $2 $3 $.....

Oh, OK, thanks. What if I want a different channel in each folder? I tried just using cd to make it jump to different directories but that didn't work.

OK Tox, what the fuck. Every time this client comes online I get this particular image resent, there's like 4 5 copies in my folder now. Is it a known bug?

Has anyone else been able to download the Gentooman's library? Bittorrent just keeps saying "Connecting to peers 0.0%"

I'm trying to clone my HDD onto an SDD for obvious reasons using Acronis True Image, and while the cloning finishes, the SDD doesn't boot up properly and throwd an error that bootmgr doesn't exist on the drive and thus the OS can't boot. Is there a way to fix the bootmgr message when cloning to an SSD without using a USB stick and instead by a second drive (my HDD) with Windows on it? I don't want to have to reinstall the OS clean since it would take for fucking ever to get everything back in order and Microsoft's tool keeps telling me my USB stick is too small to load the Windows 7 repair tools on it. Or is there some other software better for loading Windows onto a USB drive?

I want to commission some lewd artwork without my partner finding out. For that, I need an email address. However, my current email address has my full name attached to it, and I don't want the artist to have access to such personal information (my name is easily identifiable).

Where can I find quick tutorials on pgp and qubes lads?

The sites are written by people who write code and not clear simple instructions unfortunately

Tutanota.de

That happens to me as well. It seems the frames stay in vram or dram until they're overwritten. This results in windows and video stills overlapping all over the screen whenever I move my MPV window while it's playing in i3. In one instance, I noticed a still from a game I was playing from my Windows partition before I rebooted into Linux. The still was in perfect quality even though the computer had been turned off and back on.

What is this phenomena called? Is there a program I can use to view this unused video memory? I currently do it by playing a video in MPV, and moving the window in i3 rapidly. How could I zero out this unused vram?

I should have mentioned, I boot into runlevel 3 as default, so X shouldnt really be involved in the system unbootability.

Or would errors end up in that log anyway?

what is a good XML editor for windows?

How much should I expect to pay?

I respect him too.
If some techpill wins the elections like the "pirate party" he'll surely be freed.

That really depends on how many people are going to use that app.

use an OK-tier secure connection.
Probably try SSHing to your home pc or whatever it is.
make sure you have Static IP and your ISP does not close WAN ports. If you're on DHCP IP then get a good DDNS and use a strong and long password!

You may also try making and hosting your own web server and portforward it. The thing is you might want to add a layer of security depending on how private that few lines of text needs to be.

depends on your need. If you need high uptime and plan on serving it and run the program on cloud/WAN you can get a small cheap SSD server.
If you can SSH yourself then better as it would be free as in $0!


Are you still looking for distro?

Arch would work but I think there are issues with nvidia or perhaps amd drivers?

You might want to look at OpenMandriva and Mageia too.

as long as you have dedicated GPU and decent CPU and RAM everything will be fire.

Can you tl;dr to a guy who hasn't built a computer himself a few questions about graphics cards?

1. What's the difference in short between the gtx 900 and 10 series?

2. I heard you can't compare graphics card specs side-by-side, so what do I do to know I'm getting a superior one?

I felt really good for the first 15 minutes I had my Nextcloud Server running then I had a bunch of problems.
I know some of this can be fixed by editing the config file for Apache but I can't find it.
I'm using Ubuntu server and Canonical did something stupid with it.


Google a video card you're thinking of buying and add "benchmark" at the end. It will give you semi real world numbers to get an idea of how it will perform.

from what i understand the amount of memory it has is important. 900 series has less video ram than 1000 series. also there are things like qudacores and teraflops but i have no understanding of these things and it probably doesnt matter

If you don't know anything about graphics cards then why are you trying to answer a question about graphics cards

I know enough to make a buying decision.. besides it all depends on what youre going to play and if youre going to do 4k.

You don't even know enough to be able to explain how little you know. Kill yourself.

I need a good backup solution for my Android phone. I have a remote linux server that I am going to be backing up to. Needs to back up to the server without saving any local copy (like what Titanium Backup does).

nothing else hardware-wise. Just make sure your OS has drivers.
that's the reason for going with PCI and not a vendor-specific interface. PCI is an interoperable standard, if the rest of your hardware supports PCI-whatever then it will support all PCI-whatever hardware

isn't that the Bush/Cheney piece that brought us mass surveillance? No way

Sorry like I said I haven't had any experience with PC building yet. Say I get an Nvidia card do I just go on nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download the drivers before hand and then put in the card or...?

find a fun project?

Yes, so plug in the GPU, power up and install Windows then install the GPU driver. After the install you may get prompted to reboot, if not reboot any way. Now you are done with the GPU side of things. Next up, motherboard drivers, either from the CD that came with it (which will almost certainly be way out of date) or download them from the manafacturer`s website.

What's a good aesthetically pleasing distro? I like the look of OSX, Ubuntu, and Winblows 10 but those are obviously shit for non-aesthetic reasons.

Also ideally it would be pretty easy for a novice (mainly a distro that has a good amount of online tutorials like anything debian based). All of my experience in GNU/Linux has been in Ubuntu and Linux Mint.

Any distro can be aesthetic. It all depends on your DE or WM. GNOME is one of the best looking DEs out of the box (even though some autists here hate it) and combined with a good theme it's pretty hard to beat. There's also XFCE and KDE to look into if you don't like GNOME.

If you're looking for autistic gentoo ricing, install a tiling WM and you're pretty much set.

Any site/way to do multiple reverse image search?


I'm trying to find more stuff from a old chanwhore but I have 188 pics and its getting tedious as fuck


Looks like the only option is imageraider but shit is not working for me

yes. POP3 has its pros and cons, but it's an older protocol, and I have this feeling that people usually prefer IMAP. IMAP syncs your MUAs to the server and viceversa. it aims at maintaining a single state among all your clients, whereas with POP actions taken in one MUA don't take effect in the rest.

I can't remember whether cock.li supports both protocols.

I have good advice for you: Stop wasting the best days of your life trying to find more stuff from an old chanwhore.

What said. KDE is the DE of choice for novice ricers. Get Kubuntu, which comes with KDE out of the box or install it on arch, fedora, debian, etc.

Alright I got Kubuntu and this looks pretty nice, thanks for the recommendation. I also took the effort to finally learn how Ubuntu/Kubuntu/etc are pronounced since I guess I need to be able to say what OS I'm using without sounding like a retard. To anyone who is curious it seems to be oo/koo boon too one the nome desktop environment (apparently it was originally supposed to be gah nome as in GNU but noone called it that).

My Snowball iCE doesn't even want to try working.
I tried every tutorial on youtube, every step by step on different sites, and I only have one clue which may be the cause of all of it. If it is, how do I fix it? How do I fix this shit?

(also when i update those two drivers they just stay saying old, they never get updated.)

how the fuck do I delete or edit a post ?

Only hotpockets can edit posts.

i bet you've got way better books, huh?

Anything in the gentoomen library is better than that piece of shit. The entire Head First series is garbage designed for women and idiots to learn how to program. The format is fucking retarded, the projects are fucking stupid, and the code is shit.

g++ 6.2.1 keeps compiling everything as a shared library. What did I do?

I am using firefox for something (not a problem) which is making it consume all my RAM and then go to swap. How can I limit it to say 500 MB RAM and rest in the swap? Using cgroups? I found this link, but not sure if this will work.

i want to install Zandronium/GZDoom/Skulltag bu i keep getting errors on my Linux Mint 17

any advice?

I'm using chromium 64 bit and I'm having YouTube troubles. Some videos will play in HD while most do not, only giving me 360p. I've tried using some extensions like ViewTube, but no luck. Even videos on Twitter immediately give me the "The media could not be played." error.

Yes, learn how to ask for help properly.


Try it then.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and every time I restart/log off and log back on the icons on my desktop reset to a organized position that I did not leave them in.

help?

I recently found out by playing shmups that I have a very noticable amount of input lag for both my keyboard and mouse input (so i'm guessing it's a global lag). Reasearch tells me its not my monitor, and disabling HPET & CE1 hasn't changed anything. Any ideas?
Also webm quality test why not

what did i do wrong?

You never say what errors you are getting or even where you are getting them. Is this a problem with installing it or running it? The only thing you did right was getting those trips.

oh...right...

in a sec

You tell us. How do you invoke the compiler? What's the output?

What's the best software for finding an install's Windows 7 product key?

...

HBCD has utilities that claim to be able to find the key but it's never worked for me.
I think its a utility called produkey.

Holla Forums probably frowns on HBCD for being street shitter tier


That doesn't show you the product key. It shows you numbers associated with your product key. If you contact microshit you can use that number in combination with a small fee™ for a PDF printout of a new product key. The windows installation that is using the old product key will become invalid.

you can set a memory limit for specific processes, not sure if it will automatically start paging after that or just halt the process

Is there a psuedo-graphics stack for a headless server? I want to run OpenCL code on a server with a GPU, but without actually rendering anything; managing it via SSH.

why the fuck would you do that?
you deleted your bootloader, it cant read the main partition because it doesn't know how the fuck to read it now that there is no MBR

oh

Make a repair disc /usb drive from another windows 10 machine or try booting the live usb and do it that way, you'll need a second usb though

Hello guys.

I've been messing around with KVM lately. I'm currently trying to run a Debian Sid guest on a Debian Sid host. Everything seems to work alright, but I can't for some reason check the "Auto resize with window" option. It says "Guest agent not available".

I did some googling and found the package "qemu-guest-agent":
packages.debian.org/sid/qemu-guest-agent

I installed this package in the guest and rebooted. It still says "Guest agent is not available".

I have set "Resize guest with window" in the Preferences tab in the VM manager, and this doesn't work either.

I'm completely clueless at this point. Googling yields literally zero results.

Anyone willing to help a Linux newbie out?

Stupid question: How long should I wait until replacing my thermal paste?

When I used to use Arctic Silver 5 it seemed like it was worthwhile to replace it every year, I would always get a drop in temps when doing so.

I stopped using that and just use some quality ceramic paste now, I can't really say with that yet.

Here's your mythical gentoomen lib, bro.

I don't know of any introductory C# books because I try to avoid shit languages. But what I can tell you is that Head First C# is an utter waste of time if you're trying to become proficient in the language. The only other book that I have used is Professional C#.
It's not hard to find this information out on your own. And if you can't tell that Head First C# is shit immediately after the first few pages, you're retarded. Know what, just stick with it.

Is there such a thing as an idiot-friendly variety of Open Office? Some sort of plugin or configuration that makes it look and "work" similar to MS Office?

I'm supposed to set up a fresh PC for work and it's a pain in the ass to get an MS Office license. Yet if I don't use something that looks like MS Office I just know people will bitch at me endlessly because "it's not like Woooooord".

What are the exceptions to that "almost?"

I'm mostly concerned with saving all the posts on the board but the images would be nice too.

I can't really think of any off the top of my head, I`l have a search though. The almost was primarily there as a reverse gear.

I've tried invoking it with different makefile approaches and straight cli. With and without a bunch of flags. The output is the same as it always has been.

The only thing that changed is that after I upgraded gcc from 5.x.x to 6.x.x, the output file is always a shared library. I've tried reinstalling multiple times.

I've been searching for the past few weeks and it seems no one else has this problem.

Easiest way to crack Windows 7? Already have it installed just need a working key. My old key doesn't work since it's for upgrading only.

What can I do to prevent deauth attacks from killing my WIFI?

Hi Holla Forums.
I have a laptop with linux mint 18.
I am connected to the wifi and the connection seems fine, decent strength (60%).
I have firefox.

However, the internet doesnt work at all.
I tried disabling noscript and https everywhere, disconnecting feom wifi and reconnecting, nothing.

Yet the internet works on my phone and on other laptops in the home (not mine).

Please help.

Just kill me now.

I was connected to the wrong wifi network

I wouldn't bug you guys if I weren't at the end of my rope:

I'm at home, with my old toaster with Win 7 Home Premium (SP1) and an AMD X2 255 (yeah yeah). Recently I had trouble with some processes called "svchost.exe." and "trustedinstaller.exe". They began suddenly starting by themselves, then quickly using all my CPU, while heating it up to 70-80C! Obviously unacceptable. A quick search led me to all sorts of solutions, so I tried them all. It seemed like the forecast was 50% chance of malware/rootkit and 50% chance of Windows Update bullshit.

1. System Restore solved nothing.
2. Reinstalling my OS, then updating to SP1, solved nothing. In case it matters, the only instance of "svchost.exe" on my PC is in the proper folder and is 26.5k in size.
3. I set Windows Update to start only when I want it, and to ask me before doing anything. I set Microsoft Security Essentials to turn off real-time protection and only update when I do it manually. I then set most of the other services related to "svchost.exe." to "manual" and "if you fail to start, do nothing".
4. I scanned with tdsskiller, rkill, hitman pro, Malwarebytes, and MSE. A few of those found and destroyed some sketchy shit, so I ran them all again and they found nothing. Yet the problem persisted.
5. Finally I used PerformanceMaintainer to clean/defrag the registry and clean up in general. I ran all the above anti-malware programs a third time and came up clean again.

At first I thought my family had just downloaded some virus or rootkit or whatever, but none of these fixes have given me a final solution. It seems that roughly every hour or so, if I leave my PC on and idle, "svchost.exe" will rev up again, start eating my processor, and heat it up tremendously. I have tried to just let it "run its course" but it simply uses more and more of my CPU while increasing the temperature and causing everything to grind to a halt, so I have to kill it. Watching with Resource Monitor & just killing the process solves it temporarily every time, but I want a permanent solution! What else can I do?

As fas as I know svchost is for services, so anything using some kind of service handled by svchost could be the problem.
Go into msconfig and look for shit on boot and on the services tab, disable anything non-microsoft.
Even then, a well made rootkit can pretty much do whatever the fuck it wants with your system so in the end formatting and reinstalling may be the only choice.


Hide your ssid, change channels and pray to stallman.

Why does almost every distro have the laptop's touchpad clicking disabled by default? Don't they know how stupid and harmful to their users is this?

I've had this problem with Trisquel and I'm having it right now with Kali. It's fucking hell because this time I don't even have a spare mouse anywhere and I can't find in the settings (got there using tab keys) where to turn it on. Why do they hate laptop users so much? I can't even see the applications menu to pick the right programs I am here trying to guess which ones it has installed as if I was a retard.

WHY DO THEY FUCKING DO THIS. WHY HASN'T ANYBODY TOLD THEM

SOMEONE HAS TO GET MURDERED FOR THIS

Anyway, touchpad clicking is garbage. Are there no mouse buttons on your laptop or something?

No, no buttons. The touchpad (which moves the pointer but doesn't click) is the button itself.

I fucking hate this and I don't know why on Earth would the developers release an ISO with this problem. It's not 1990, laptops are a thing now and 90% of people using distros like Kali are going to do it in laptops since it is a pentesting distro with lots of network hacking programs. IT people use this shit in their jobs, goddamnit.

I couldn't possibly more mad right now.

Works on my machine :^)
I'm using Ubuntu btw

I'm having a problem with some streaming websites.
Specifically, xvideos. They'll either be a black square where the player is supposed to be, or it will appear to work, only for the video to freeze while the audio continues. I can still pause and mute the video, but everything on the screen (including the play/pause button within the player) is frozen.
I tested and I have the same issue on xhamster, and this issue persists across all browsers- even with various add-ons disabled.

Under Internet Options' Security tab (under custom level), Active X settings have "Display video and animation on a webpage that does not use external media player" to disabled- but I do not remember disabling it.

Should I enable this, or is that unrelated?

How do I games and mods on Linux (steam)?
For 2 specific examples:
1. VtMB resolution patch is 1st pic but I need it to find path of 2nd pic. It doesn't do that.
2. DOW 2 Retri, Elite Mod finds path to C:/ or D:/ or Z:/ but I don't need either.

I need installers to find the path to
/home/NAME/.playonlinux/.wineprefix/steam/drive_c/programfiles/steam/steamapps
but they never do that.

You need to find the Program Files folder as it would be arranged on a windows computer. You do not need to find the .PlayOnLinux directory.

How would I do that?

I just did something else now but idk if It works for all games; I copy the game folder on desktop, use the mod installer on the desktop folder than cut and paste it back and overwrite the steam game folder.

Any good booru browsers for Linux? Ahoviewer was recommended but it just seems to crash a lot for me. Also doesn't support some sites very well.
Socks/Tor support would be nice but not required.

HTML+CSS question

Imagine I have the following 4 divs structure:
.................

they're adjacent (siblings) and their order in the unstyled HTML matters.

How do I get the CSS layout in pic related? I'm allowed to add extra divs to group those 4, as long as #1 comes before #2 which comes before #3 which comes before #4

You talk as if they were different things.

I have a question about keylogers. when can i go to install? and how do i get over to a windows 7 machine. this is my personal testing environment. but i would like to be able to get onto my other without useing usb. Gmil will not transmit and trojens useing msvenom.

Encrypted 7zip archive, problem solved.

what web browser does Holla Forums recommend for my android phone?

I hear firefox supports uBlock

D-Lan or SyncThing can be used to send files locally. Only the latter will work for files outside of your local network. Might be better than trying to send malware though an email provider that tracks everything you do.


Does Gmail even allow sending of encrypted archive files? I thought they needed to be able to scan them in order to allow them to be sent. One thing I thought was odd was that I couldn't send .bat files because they're technically executable, but renaming the .bat file to .txt works file.

What happens if you delete system32? Could someone test this in a virtual machine or something like that? I just want to know if the attached webm is legit, because I think it's not. Your computer wouldn't just crash if you deleted it right? Because some files in there are used and Windows would not allow you to delete those.

I hadn't even realised it was possible to be autistic enough to not see Venti is a satirical character. Nice.

Does Holla Forums know the best way I could watch video files online with someone? Watching anime was one of the few things I could do with someone important to me that's 1000 miles away, using Skype's screen share, but now they seem to have implemented a noise reduction feature I've found no way to turn off, and the audio gets totally blocked out. We tried ooVoo, but it seems so ad ridden and clunky that it's not really that great of an alternative.

Hey Holla Forums, what the fuck is this?

I noticed that a lot of disk space was missing (it's 500GB) and someday I logged in as root, which I never do, and I found I had an enormous 300GB file in my root home folder. Crossing my fingers I deleted it and nothing happened, so I resumed using my normal user account as always. Now I have come back to my root account and I find this shit again: A useless 200GB file occupying space. I will delete it again but I'd be grateful if you guys could tell me what is doing this to happen over and over again. I'm in Linux Mint.

Share the file directly and press play at the same time.

I've actually thought about doing that, but so often we just kinda do it by impulse that I thought it might be a hassle. I really wouldn't mind dumping Skype either if something better exists. The thing's options are so scarce and it's always fucking up.
Do you guys know what my best option would be for an easy, file sharing site? The other person is kind of illiterate to this stuff and I'm obviously not so great myself to say the least.

If you have decent internet you could just set up an FTP server.

I'm currently learning C++ and for some assignment I was given I had to create a random number generator. I called the generator several times during the program execution, but initially I included srand(time(NULL)) in the function definition and when it was there whatever value the first call to the generator returned, it would return that value for every single call afterwards. I was able to correct this by pulling srand() out of the function definition. I want to ask why did it return the same value every time when srand(time(NULL)) was in the function declaration?
My first version looked something like this:
[code]double myrand (void) {
srand ( time (NULL) );
return 2.0*rand()/RAND_MAX-1.0; }

double x = myrand();
double y = myrand(); //Same value as x
double z = myrand(); //Same value as x[code]

The fixed version was like
[code]double myrand(void) {
return 2.0*rand()/RAND_MAX-1.0; }

srand ( time (NULL) );
double x = myrand();
double y = myrand(); //Different value now
double z = myrand(); //Also different value as well[code]

That's because srand seeds and initializes the random number generator. If you call it every time and the seed time(NULL) hasn't changed since last time, you'll just be reinitializing the generator to the same initial state.

Also, you should use header instead of old unreliable rand()

Hmm is that difficult for someone who's retarded like me though? I'll probably sound stupid, but I didn't even know what that was offhand until I just looked it up.

I assume you are using windows so, no it should be pretty easy. You will have to open up a port so that they can connect though.

Oh okay sweet! Thanks user!

I picked up an acer a1 830 android tablet on clearance for 50$.
apparently there aren't any specialized roms for it, is there any way I can get away from the vanilla rom anyway or am I fucked?
The wiki page on the subject feels slightly outdated.

I've recently gone back to Linux after using just windows for a few years. There is one issue that I am having difficulty resolving.

What's the best way to clone a RAID0 array with Windows and Linux partitions to a new singular SSD?

Use Clonezilla`s disk clone feature. If the SSD is bigger than the array everything is fine. If it isn't resize the array untill it will fit.

Well it is seems to be a temp file. It could be related to a aborted process, or mabye a systemd log?

There is a newer fork of it called Jump Go. However I can't bet on how long this will be supported either.

What about if the array is bigger than the SSD but only due to a bunch of unpartitioned space?

Well you can then just unselect them. Also it would be a good to Idea to make blank partitions on the SSD that are slightly greater than the old ones.

For what purpose?

I'm not so hot with security on tunneling programs. One of the public servers I'm hosting has to be run on a tunneling program because the developer was too lazy to make it function outside of LAN. I've found the least intrusive or finicky program to accomplish this with hamachi.
Are there any alternatives, other than evolve? Also, I know that hamachi allows connection to my users and myself (this running on a personal network) way too much access and potential to fuck with their networks and devices. Is there any way I can go about buffing the security? At least protecting my own network? I'm already running it on a virtual machine with a firewall, on one of my systems and was contemplating getting that VM a VPN for added security. There anything else I can do to protect it?

is there a good video or an infograph to help me out with installing arch? I got a few pages of the wiki open but im talking about like some basic steps to check off along the way or something to help out a bit

To reduce the chance that Clonezilla complains that there isn't enough space for the partiton and skips it.

There is a good text base guide that I used when I was installing Arch, located on muktware.com

Please forward to as many with the appropriate technical competences as possible.

What I would like you to try is to make a random numbers generator of some kind that the Will of Kek would be able influence into something meaningful... Aren´t there ways to convert dubs into images, texts, sound and program codes?

Anything else?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voice_phenomenon

Suggestion I got.

"I'll bite - first, I think one idea would be to tie the numbers generated with the date. Have it generate 88 random numbers [of 14 length], and only the dubs [and trips and quads] are used. The more dubs, the more detail in the image.
Then, its just some algo to figure out how this list of numbers affects the image.
I'm thinking the more repeating digits, the more prominent the effect, and the non-repeating digits determine the properties of how that number is applied… I'm only slightly interested because some post a week ago about quantum phys and random numbers claimed that on days where big events occurred, the random numbers showed statistical anomalies…"


Don´t you want to know the Will of Lord Kek, anons?

Should this have its own thread?

apparently you meant muktware.io

muktware.com led me to a russian porn site so I thought you were fucking with me for a second.

It is what I have right in front of me, picture related.

oh wait what? I only found this

How should I really go about backing up my files? There isn't any software listed for it on the tech wiki, and software that I look up online all look either very dated, or costly (why? Is backing up a complicated procedure?).
I want to back up by cloning, my options seem to be to use the built-in windows cloner. How's that sound, what do you guys think?

I'm also liking the simplicity of my own shitty idea: Just drag and drop the entire drive onto my backup, moving the files over. However, I'm worried that it will cause problems when over-writing files especially if I shut down my computer in the middle of one backup procedure, so any thoughts on this method too?

What exactly are you backing up? If it's just files, like a project folder, then drag and drop should be just fine, but if you want to clone an entire OS, with all its intricacies, then specialized software is the way to go.

Is there a Chrome extension that forces chrome to always translate a specific domain from one specified language to english? I'd like to have Pornolab.net always translate to english, but since there's a lot of other languages other than russian on the site it rarely accurately autodetects russian so it can translate to english. I'd like to force all pages on the pornolab.net domain to auto-translate from russian to english, whether it detects russian or not.

What software should I install to protect my computer?

Last time I assembled a system was around 2012,
I'm running a virginal Win10Pro system I know, I know, and I checked out the resources in

privacytools.io (Very recommended, BTW)

It didn't have any recommendations for anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware, anti-rootkit or other computer security programs, what are your recommendations? Are there any software security measures I missed? besides wipe Win10

What would you recommend for torrenting (and torrenting protection)/IP range protection? I was using Peerblock, but that's a subscription service now.

Lastly, do people still use registry cleaners? I've got CCleaner, and I'm curious if there's something better.

Some tits for your trouble. Thank you in advance.

Went to shit after the Jon Riddell drama. Get Mint KDE edition.

I have upload the guide that I used at ghostbin.com/paste/evrxg

Why would anyone install Windows 10 in the first place?
There is a Windows fork of Bleachbit. Also Tinywall and KeePassX
Qbittorrent
It is a placabo, those programs won't stop the Ip's from connecting to the swarn and it's cheap to change IP, making the list useless.
However I would suggest in Qbittorrent; setting Encryption mode to "require encryption" (Under BitTorrent > Privacy), "Use different port" on each startup (Connection > Listeng Port) and chaing "IP Address to report to trackers" to something different (Advanced, libtorrent Secrion)
Again they have been revealed to a placabo.
There seems to a defition difference in play.

I'm seriously going to pop a blood vessel here.

I'm an idiot with a bad temper and I've installed Trisquel Mini on a Dell Inspiron 1300 laptopn from 2005 with next to no Linux know-how. It was the only distro to have working wlan drivers out of the box and actually work decently on this overheating piece of shit.
I want to install Minitube. I can't. I've tried all three methods listed on this page: askubuntu.com/questions/672501/why-is-minitube-not-working-anymore and none of them work. Anything else I could find on google were all permutations or word for word transcripts of what was said in that thread.
Methrod 1 simply opens ABrowser on the Google Dev API credentials page and nothing else. I've made the API key beforehand, but now there is nowhere to actually enter the key. There are no prompts either on that page or terminal.

Method 2 does nothing. I add the line with the API key into Minitube.sh, Ctrl+O, logout and log back in aaaand nothing. Delete the file from /tmp aaaaand nothing.

Method 3 fucks up at the qmake part. I can't remember what it was, but it just says fuck you, I can't let you do that, dave and I can't do anything else.

I JUST WANT TO WATCH SHITTY YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITHOUT MELTING MY PROCESSOR AFTER 5 MINUTES! I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WATCHING IT ON MINITUBE INSTEAD OF MIDORI OR ABROWSER WILL LIGHTEN THE LOAD! THE CONSTANTLY CRASHING BROWSERS DON'T HELP MUCH!

Yes, I'm mad.

The simplest solution would be to use youtube-dl to download the videos and then just delete them after watching.

How would I get USB 2 support in my system without recompiling the Kernel?

Try smplayer. It can play videos directly off youtube.

Videos are silent.
I've tried GNOME Player and VLC.
I've installed libav-tools after I saw the "outdated avconv version" warning, but all that did was download both .mp4 and .webm formats and then merge them into an .mkv file instead of just downloading the .mp4 file for some reason. Which doesn't help either.

It's likely that the videos you downloaded are fine, but your setup lacks the needed codecs to play them which is kinda expected on an autistic distro like Trisquel.

Youtube-dl by default tries to download the best available quality of the YT clip, which these days involves downloading separately audio and video streams and then merging them. There are pre-merged formats available on YT, but they are limited to max 720p @ shit bitrate IIRC.

I know. The guy said it'll optimize your processor.
At least I can always dual-boot Win7

Thx fam

[see pic2] (thx fam)

smpplayer DOES play the downloaded video with sound, but I can't stream directly from youtube. It also opens up ABrowser sometimes when I click the "Open URL..." button.
I also can't download the SMPlayer Youtube Browser because it simply refuses to be checked for installation in the default Add/Remove Application application. I clicked the box, it started loading, I went for a round at work, came back and it still wasn't selected, just loading. This also happens every time I try to select more than one appliaction to install.
Why is all of this so fucked up and unintuitive? I don't expect it to be Windows XP simple, but this is getting ridiculous.

Is there some other lightweight distro that doesn't make me feel like an even bigger idiot? So far I've tried Trisquel Mini, Trisquel, Bodhi, Lubuntu (doesn't work), Manjaro (looked really nice and I wanted to spoil myself with style over function, but laptop is too shit for it), Puppylinux and Ubuntu, which was slow as all hell.

Yes there is, Void (It`s similar to arch but uses Runit as the system manager). I would suggest getting one of the preset distro .iso`s. I can also create images that are slightly more up todate if you want? Also I agree with the others youtube-dl is pretty good. The repo commands are again similar to Arch, to install/update [sudo xbps-install $program-name / -Su]. To remove [sudo xbps-remove program-name] . Then -Ro to remove recursively orphaned dependents. Some programs can be named strangely querying the repo with [xbps-query -Rs $program-name]. Youtube-dl is in the repo.

I'm trying to bridge ethernet and wifi connections on my laptop but I keep getting the error

connection add failedno plugin supported adding this connection

any help?

how do you install packages from mirror sites? I've been searching for hours on how to do this, but all I get are more mirror links. I just want to install GCC on Debian.

respond pls

ah shit, does that mean it's got a limited library of applications? I've looked at the Packages page and it might have plenty actually. Does it share a repository with Arch linux or is it its own thing?


check/updatte drivers, what os

manjaro

fuck me I just used apt-get

The SMPlayer's Youtube module package is called "smtube", you might try to install it manually from the commandline and see what happens.

You chose that pain yourself by installing Autisquel. Get Mint XFCE edition.

If your laptop is too shit even for that, then shit starts to get heavy. No noobie-friendly distro cares about computers THAT old anymore. You would have to get your hands dirty, start with a bare-bones CLI-only base installation of a hardcore unixfag distro like Debian or Arch and hand-pick packages to install and build a full-featured system up from that. The upside is that you can tailor your system exactly to your needs and cut out all the needless fat from it. The downside is that you need to git gud at unix.

So please try Mint first and see how it works for you. Also:
Any more details? Maybe we could make it work?

alright. it was cause my root partition was full. but now I can't figure out how to bridge my connections. I thought I was doing it right but it's not working.

It is its own thing and doesn't share anything with Arch. I just personally find their repo commands and core idea to be similar.

I can't remember, I think it had something to do with the processor (Intel Pentuim M 1,73 GHz). I'll tell you tomorrow when I get back from work and sleep.

fwwaaaaaarrrkkkk
Does that mean programs like media players and document viewers or codecs, scripts and other nitty gritty stuff like that?

thanks for the help

Worse. Also programs like the X Window System server and a fucking window manager (you know, the thing that displays titlebars over your windows and lets you move and close them?) You would eventually reach the point when you could install a taskbar and hand-configure it to display a clock at the end!

Scary and real jokes aside, your CPU ain't that bad though. With a decent amount of RAM you should be able to comfortably run most modern desktop environments (after trimming some fat from them). How much RAM you have there? Is it upgradeable? This would probably be the most worthwhile upgrade you could make to this machine for a few measly bucks.

Oh, and I think I know why semi-recent releases of *buntu distros (and some others) won't boot on your machine. Lack of PAE, right? Fortunately that's easily fixable.

We'll fix that shit tomorrow. Now *I* need to get some sleep.

I'm trying to install a program on Linux, but as soon as the installation process ends X or something seems to shit the bed completely and my computer is entirely unresponsive. Where could I find logs that might tell me what the problem is? I had a dig through /var which is apparently where most logs are placed but couldn't find anything relevant.

Note that after rebooting, the program doesn't seem to have been installed so I can't just ignore whatever caused the issue.

maybe, can't say I've noticed it anywhere during the multiple installations
768 MB. Both slots taken, 512 was there when I opened up the thing, found 256 either in one of other 3 broken latops I'd gutted or on the junkyard. I can't remember. I can't remember much ever since I got sick. I got sick 15 years ago.

Define "entirely unresponsive". Also, what program? What kind of installer? What distro?

I want everyone's input on this:

ebay.com/itm/Toshiba-HK3R-series-THNSNJ480PCS3-480GB-SSD-2-5-6Gb-s-SATA-NEW-/201565582413?hash=item2eee3eb44d:g:WFgAAOSwZ8ZW33OF

This guy is selling reportedly new 480 gig enterprise SSDs for $125-130. These are 1 DWPD which means you can write 480 gig to them each day for five years and still be in spec. That's crazy good value.

Problem is, the smart table I found that is linked above is kind of weird. What do you think of it? Legit or not?

*Pointer stutters around for a bit then freezes completely. No key bindings function, including the one I set up to kill all user created processes. Basically all I can do is turn it off.

*A game.

*The installer downloads files during the installation process, it isn't a self contained installation.

*Manjaro

I basically just need to know what's actually happening then I can probably solve the issue myself.

Can you SSH into the machine once it shits itself? What does top show? Could you leave a terminal running top while you start the installation to see what happens?

Nope I don't have another computer to get into it with.

With Top up it shows CPU load from that process at 90%-110%, shortly before everything shits the bed.

Memory use? Swapping? How much time the kernel spends wa(iting)?

It isn't using much memory, only about 3%, and ergo no swap usage.

I'm assuming the time entry is kernel wait time, this seems out of the ordinary as well at 2:14.32 and rising.

No, that's just time the process got allotted on the CPU. I'm asking for the header lines above the process list in top. By default top shows CPU time split into us/sy/ni/id/wa/hi/si/st percentages. Where does it spend the most time right before hanging?

Give me a while then I'll need to start it up again.

Just before it dies us goes up to 99.3% and sy is at 0.7%.

I'm planning on backing up the whole computer, but the way I've got it set up currently is - All software and OS on a SSD, and then movies, music, photos and all other files on an external hard drive. The collection is quite roomy though, and a drag and drop would take over twenty-four hours to complete from start to finish.

lol, fucking figures.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

installing arch for the first time and I stopped at the partitioning step because I have two options?

MBR and GPT. I'm not sure which to do and why.

I have no clue where to go to ask this. I've looked, but I couldn't find anything.

"Universal Serial Bus controllers" doesn't wanna update with Driver Booster 3.4

If you are unable to research the two terms and decide for yourself maybe you shouldn't be installing Arch.

I have been researching but pages I come across just tell me that GPT doesn't have the same limits as MBR but most Arch tutorials I see use MBR so I'm a bit confused and thus why I am asking.

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning#Choosing_between_GPT_and_MBR

It resolves to: if you're gonna use old hardware, MBR. If not, just stick with GPT.

i uninstalled one of them and restarted my computer to see if it will reinstall and now it's showing me this.
i dun goof'd

Goddamnit. I'm following a step by step guide to install arch linux and I still come across errors. I feel like I might as well just use some automated script install like arch anywhere but I actually want to learn this.

If you actually want to learn how the linux installation process works, install Gentoo.
Seriously, even the documentation of the installation is better.

c'mon user. I've also used "arch" before with antergos and manjaro and I liked it but I wanted a clean install.

I need one of these but it's reverted. What do I search up? Or do they even exist?

I'l add just one thing more onto this. For Windows 7 and below use MBR as GPT doesn't work easily. Also GPT is meant for disks that are greater than 2048 TiB.

Not sure if this is the correct thread. Would anyone know when AMD will bring out a DDR4 RAM CPU?

When ZEN is released. So supposly Q1 next year.

Thank you.

What is a typical Linux partition cloning utility that isn't Clonezilla? Clonezilla is a piece of shit that won't detect dmraid arrays, so I can't use that.

DD

I'm scared ;_;

It is very simple
dd if=source of=target
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1

All you have to do is check what your source and target partitions are with lsblk or fdisk -l and make sure that your target is as large or larger than your source. Consult man dd or search engine if you need more options.

Right, so I found another laptop I was trying to fix a couple of months ago: Inspiron 6400 (specs: cnet.com/products/dell-inspiron-6400-15-4-core-2-duo-t5500-1-gb-ram-120-gb-hdd/specs/)
It had an Intel® Core™ Duo Processor T2400
(2M Cache, 1.83 GHz, 667 MHz FSB) from some other laptop, putting that in as well. I'm salvaging everything I can from this machine and so far I've got:
RAM (pic related)
Processor
WLAN adaptor
some MODEM card
a fan
cooling well
cmos battery

Is there anything else I can pull out of this thing aside from the motherboard? I can see a Intel® 82801GBM I/O Controller soldered onto it, but my all my tech instincts are telling that ripping a soldered component out of a motherboard is a less than brilliant idea.

won't turn on, cracked shell/plastic, opening and closing it is accompanied by the smooth sound of cracking plastic.
I know, but since we're already on the topic of upgrading a toaster, I figured I might as well ask here.

It has to be a USB port? I know that many of a TRRS 3.5mm splitter to Heaphone and Mic exist, and are still somewhat relevant.

...

Thanks user.

typing from on screen keyboard. It has to be usb.

Great, now it won't boot. As in, the lights turn on for 2-3 seconds and off again, no fans, no screen, nothing.
Tried putting the RAM sticks in different slots, pressing down so they're in their proper place... no dice.
I had just applied new thermal paste onto the T2400 processor and am hesitant to pull it out and redo the whole process with the old processor.
Is there something I'm missing?

CPU Intel Pentium G4400

Some dindus in my area are claiming they can unlock iPhones.

Of course. That's a mighty beasty rig, you'll be able to play most anything made today, just get a bit more ram, GPU might be a tad overkill with a 4GB memory size.
Be sure to install the x64 version of win7.

Anyone here who knows how to force Windows to apply a UEFI firmware update using UpdateCapsule?

See:
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/drivers/bringup/windows-uefi-firmware-update-platform

I modified my boot logo, but I can't seem to apply (trigger Windows to apply) the changed .cap file.

Also tried some Intel .efi tool directly from the EFI shell which also uses UpdateCapsule, but it didn't work. So I'll have to use Windows.

Gonna build a desktop and buy a laptop, then have them with small HHDs, then grab a large portable SSD as well as a bulky SSD that stays with the desktop for the most part.

Is this a stupid move?

Also, I want to run Linux, Win7 and OSX off the desktop for specific programs; as in dual/tri-booting, not VMs. Is this also stupid? Could I move over to Win10, or is it true that it search and destroys hidden partitions?

It would make way more sense to put small SSDs in your computers and have a central NAS with all your data. If your desktop is on 24/7 you could even just put all your drives in that.

In my fucking dreams.

I live in Australia. My download speed just increased from 150kb/s to 800kb/s after 10 years. Let's not even talk about my upload.

But yes, that would be the ultimate goal, if our country ever gets it shit together, or I moved to a better country.
Is Iceland good with speeds? I do like the cold and fish.

You do know that a NAS usually setup localy right? So your ISP`s speed won't have an effect at all just the speed of your local components.

Oh, thought you meant use NAS to set up my own server and then access the files through my laptop from afar.
Yeah, I'd probably have the larger SSD attached to my router permanently.

So I got an old computer and connected it with vga to my main monitor since I don't have any more. Throughout this morning when I was installing Antix on it, the display has been fucked up like it is in the video. How can I fix this? I've tried using xrandr to change resolution and Hz but that either makes things worse or doesn't work. How do I fix this?

I know this is an output issue of some kind, since I replace the vga cord and got the same result.

Also, the right side is much worse than the left side.

I like to use smoothscroll in firefox when browsing 8ch

If I leave javascript (first party) enabled, smoothscroll with randomly stick on. Like, I click middle mouse, the round scroll thing comes up, I move the mouse up or down, and at some point after a split second or few seconds, it will stick and just keep scrolling no matter what buttons I jam. It might stop eventually and then all of the buttons I pressed come through as if they were queued. Sometimes it will not stop scrolling until it hits the top or bottom of the page, other days this doesn't happen at all.

It's pretty fucking annoying, and checking for bug reports there are ancient closed (fixed) bugs but nothing recent. Any fix other than disabling javascript here?

You can fix it in the config.

...

It's annoying as all fuck

For awhile I thought it was a problem with my mouse or maybe usb on the motherboard.

Can anyone recommend some in-demand languages/libraries/frameworks/etc that employers might be looking for? I should try to flesh out my skill base a bit beyond the basic stuff they taught me in uni.

Uh, an USB soundcard?

Still haven't found a solution for this, does no one have any ideas at all?

They already did last month. The AM4 platform with the Bristol Ridge APUs is already shipping in OEM rigs. Discrete components should reach retail next month or so.

Don't listen to this nigger: He obviously sucks cocks.

Hey genius, OEM Is not general purchasing.
It takes being one to be able to recognize one doesn't it.

Rigs containing said chips are shipping to end users right now. You CAN buy one today, you just can't buy a lone CPU (yet).

Also, discrete BR processors and AM4 motherboards will hit the market well before Zen, so my point that you suck cocks would still stand even without considering the pre-built market.

Having trouble mounting HFS formatted Portable HDs on my Fedora system. I use
sudo mkdir -p /home/username/Portablesudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdd2 /home/user/Portablesudo chown -R user /home/user/Portable
And it's always worked in the past, however suddenly it's not working, and the portables are read-only. Any suggestions?

Hmm never mind, that didn't take long to solve. Not that I know what the problem was, I just rebooted and it seems to be working now.

Looks like a video driver problem. What video card and what driver stack do you have there? Does the framebuffer console display correctly?

This also shows up in bios, do I need to update my bios?

Zen is the CPU only part. BR is the APU. As is talking about CPU I assumed ZEN, however if he meant in general then you are correct seeing as the APU has a CPU compnent.

Bumping

You could try and root it. Then use /system/ app mover from F-Droid to make system app into user space ones and then delete them.

Depending on if you have installed any updates since SP1. If you have Daz loader is not likely to work.

Define revelant. It is still useful for sharing stuff if that is what you mean.

Ah fug. In this case, the graphics card is probably borked.

My Seagate 1tb portable HD has stopped working. When I plug it in, the light blinks several times and it makes a whirring noise, but it never registers on the PC. I have other Seagate portable HDs which work fine so it's not an issue with my PC. Is it dead? Is there anything I can do to try and fix it, or to try and recover the data?

I can't seem to get the internet to work on my arch linux setup. I keep getting this error mentioned job for netctl failed because the control process exited with error code.

when I checked systemctl it just says it failed to start networking

Without knowing the specific drive you have all I can give is general guidance. Typically one would remove the drive from the enclosure and plug it in to say a desktop PC as a secondary drive, inside the case (sata) and see if it still works. If you can see the data then you need a new enclosure only

So the case might be broken? I should grab a screwdriver and remove the actual HD from the case and see if it works without it?

I'm not very handy, is that the next logical step to take?

Two questions:
*Is there any discernible advantage to using Coreboot or is it not worth the trouble? I'm on an X200.
*Why does top sometimes report CPU activity above 100%, I've seen as high as 160%.

Are you using ethernet or wireless? Can you find any details in system logs? What program are you using to attempt to connect?

*Yes, warm stallman fuzzies
*It counts per-core by default. 200% means two cores maxed. You can change that in options.

Fuzzies were my motivation for doing so but I don't want to risk bricking my computer for them alone. The chance is fairly remote but if there aren't any actual benefits I'd rather leave it.

holy fucking shit someone kill the gtk3 developers they broke emacs


Try htop, it's nicer


journalctl -xe and reverse search for red things

hey Holla Forums

So this probably sounds like a stupid question, but oh well. Alright, so my basic question is" How often should I be updating my drivers? I have an AMD graphics card and it keeps bothering me all the time to upgrade my drivers even though my most recent update was less than a month ago. Apparently, AMD constantly release new updates. It says it's a hotfix update. Should I care about that?

thanks for the tip, I'll see if that works.

Some more advice just to be on the safe side. Have backups of important data/applicationa stored some where else and if possible a full ROM backup. So that if the system becomes unstable and you don't feel like waiting for it to sort it's self out, you have a fall back.

I usually update mine when I reinstall Windows. I would suggest reading the change log and seeing if any of the changes are revelant to you. Most recent ones will probably be just fixes and such for more recent games. Also after a certain amount of time code that supports old games is very likely removed. There should be a option in recent versions to stop it from checking/asking to apply updates, I can check on my end if you want?

thanks for the response. Well, you can check if you'd like but I'll try and figure out how to get radeon settings to shut the fuck up for once.

How do I bypass the premium login thingy? Any Holla Forumsie knows how to get around this types of things?

How to homebrew a 3ds using smashbroshax and later menuhax?

I forgot to mention, there is no graphics card, it's motherboard graphics.

Every time I try to install a broadcom driver through synaptic (or the app manager as Mint forced me) it gets stuck on 93% and the wired connection gives out as well. So far only 3 distros had working drivers:
-trisquel
-lxle
-porteus (I think)

I had to remove the processor and replace it with the old one (1.73 GHz). Maybe it has something to do with the old BIOS (A02, latest one I saw was A10).
Current:
dell.com/support/home/si/en/sibsdt1/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverid=V3D38
Latest (I assume it's compatible with the motherboard bios):
dell.com/support/home/si/en/sibsdt1/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R140502

I hate Mint, hated it when I first installed it on another laptop, hate it now. The look, the restrictiveness, just not my thing. I'm being a difficult picky normalfag, I know. Lxle works like a charm, but it looks bloated with all the superfluous applications, but it worked well enough, I guess replacing thermal paste and upgrading RAM did the trick (1,5 GB). I can still just disable or uninstall most of those, right? They mustn't be hardwired into the system, that'd be stupid (like Mint).

Lubuntu trial refuses to boot, so I won't even bother with the installation. I select "Try Lubuntu", hit Enter and .... nada. Black screen.
Void unfortunately doesn't come with the broadcom driver, so I'm not going to bother installing it anymore since I know what's gong to happen. Same goes for Manjaro. The latter also doesn't work well with my touchpad for some reason (tapping the pad moves the mouse to a different part of the screen).

I'll just install Lxle side-by-side with Trisquel, see which I like more and then stick with it. I'm sure wiping the other distro shouldn't be that hard, formatting that partition or something...

This shit happened for me to, it got fixed when I shutdown, but not when I restarted. It is important that you shut down, just making it clear.

I tried a live cd and the files show up, couldn't test them because live cd can't play shit. I thought of reformatting them too but I don't have any room anywhere for backups. The hard drive on my PC is only 320GB. If there's no other solution I'll have to do this and forgo 90% of my rare chinese cartoons, but I'm hoping there's another option.

Is Funtoo better than Gentoo?

Sorry for blogpost. Just got Internet hooked up in my apartment yesterday. Wanted to play some vidya on my cancer box and I couldn't connect to any multi-player games. Tried logging into my router before and after factory reset but it never worked. Called the company, and they tell me I didn't buy the overpriced gaming internet ($150/month) so the router I got was set up to keep me from playing games and Im not allowed to change any settings. Can you guys help me with this?

Tldr: jew internet has my router locked up.

So for free credits in school I jumped on a chance to develop an iPhone app for some fitness club on campus, essentially they want to create a app where the owner of the club creates a sort of master list where people can check off certain goals for a week (eating habits, walking a set amount of miles, etc.) where members just check off if they met the goals or not.

Now, having never made an app before I don't really know where to begin, and I never really used a mac before but as this was essentially free credits with no commitment yet I figured I might as well show some interest.
My question is what's the best way to read up on how to do this shit since it might as well be something to put on a resume once I get out of here.

I'm trying to rip a DVD equipped with seamless branching on it. The DVD lets you choose whether you want to watch the theatrical or unrated version of the film in the main menu after you select the "Play" option, but in the list of VIDEO_TS files, everything shows up except for the unrated version of the movie (theatrical version, special features, trailers, etc.). Does anyone have a workaround for this so I can rip the whole disc instead of just most of it? I'm using Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper, if that helps any.

I guess you'll have to use an old computer as a router.

There is likely a portal sitting behind it, requiring login details. You could either A) ask them or B) try packet sniffing the correct details.

Is it better to use full disk encryption or a single encrypted file placed on the disk for external drives when using truecrypt?

A question like this doesn't really make sense without any context. You need to decide what your threat vector is and what you're trying to protect against by encrypting your drives. Are you trying to keep the feds from finding your 27TB of CP or are you trying to keep common criminals out of your files?
Encrypting individual files is easier for you and can be done on top of whatever files you already have. In order to encrypt the entire drive, you need to format it, which will remove all data. However, the added security of this is that inode data is also encrypted, which is where the metadata (filename, permissions, c/m/atimes, etc) is stored.

It might not be set up to DHCP. Try declaring your own IP and see if that does anything for you.
Since you're using wicd with slackware, I assume you can figure out the details of actually executing this.

Let me rephrase.
I want to use the entire disk space so I would either encrypt it completely or place a file on it that is as big as the disks capacity.
The reasoning here is that should the disk start to fail you could maybe copy enough of the (encrypted) file to save some date. Whereas you would not be able to save any data if the disk is fully encrypted and starts failing.

I think you just answered your own question.

If a computer case were a Faraday cage and not connected to ethernet, could you safely use botnet hardware?

The touchscreen on my Moto G 2nd gen LTE randomly stopped working. The screen has been very very shattered for nearly a year. The touchscreen still doesn't function in recovery mode. Is there anything at all I can do? Could it be a loose connection inside, and would I have to actually remove the screen to sort that out?

what's the best VIRTUAL MACHINE software I can use that supports VPN?

So then Holla Forums after a number of issues I had to reinstall my copy of Linux Mint 17.2
After the install I realised there's some files I forgot to back up, is recovery possible? If so can you recommend any software?

Noone?

Get a newer gpu

What's the best Linux distribution for a toaster computer?

...

I've received an SD card which (apparently) contains the unedited footage of a speech I gave. However, this is what's actually on the card.

Could anyone help me make sense of all this? There are no .avi or .mov files, only a mass of .dat, .bdm, .mts, .mod, etc. files. I'd like to just have a simple .mp4 of the recording. Is there anything I can do on my end, or are there any tools I have to download?

I'm running Linux Mint 17.3, by the way.

looks like MOV00B.mod is the file in question.
use ffmpeg to convert it

Make sure to thank the person for recording your speech with a shitty old legacy camcorder and not their cellphone
:^)

Idk google a disassembly video/screen replacement video and see for yourself

a new lcd+touchpanel is like $30 on amazon. It looks like it would be easy enough to take the old one off and put the new one on

The screen is cracked and the touch doesn't work. I can 99.99999% assuredly tell you its not just a loose connection.

oops forgot the link, this one even comes with nifty little tools for when you break the screen on your next phone

pin 1 is always a unique looking pin
vague, I know

Then they numbered like this
1 2 3

or like this
1 3 5

or like this
1 2 3
6 5 4

or like this

you get the point

distro doesnt matter, just get a lightweight DE like xfce or something

How would I do that?

And I know. The ordinary camera was playing up, so they, in a hurry, used a backup.

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad x200s for 120€/120dollarydoos. It has a 128GB Corsair Force SSD in it and 4GB of DDR3 ram. Did I do good? ( it game with Ubuntu installed )

UHHBAHNTOOO?

At least install Linux Mint 18. Ubuntu is pleb-tier.

From what I've experimented with, Lxle and Trisquel/Trisquel Mini are the ones that work best out of the bag, mostly because they're the few ones that have a bothersome broadcom driver already installed.
Otherwise try Void, Lubuntu, Slitaz, Mint xfce "Sarah", Manjaro and Bodhi.
Slitaz is oriented more around server upkeep, with a 37 MB core image and 8 GB image that includes all the packages.

It all depends on how "toasty" your toaster is (look up minimum and recommended system requirements, you're still going to browse the web, and sites today are getting pretty bulky) and how gud you are at linux. If you look a couple of walls of texts I've posted earlier, you'll see a guy who obviously knows more about the subject than me giving advice:

Right now I'm running Lxle because the installation fucked up and erased my previous Trisquel mini kernel instead of installing it side by side like I told it to. It's a bit slower and certainly more bloated with extra content, but I'm in the process of trimming the fat.

Just get lubuntu if it works

from the first result on google search for "mint ffmpeg": mintguide.org/video/339-installing-ffmpeg-library-on-linux-mint-via-ppa.html
If you convert audio or video files you will need FFmpeg library. For example, when I installed the program Flacon to work with flac files, the software required to install FFmpeg.
Now I'll show you how to install this library. It is very simple.

Installation latest version into Linux Mint:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

If the package is missing, add the repository and install again

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Do not forget from time to time to update the build FFmpeg to keep the library up to date. Just update your system through Update Manager as usual.
Good Luck!!!

is there anything at all i can do to speed this up? Do you know of a different program that might be faster?

Yeah that should work

My wangblows 7 installation is fucked up. Would it be dumb to downgrade to XP instead of just reinstalling 7? I kind of miss XP from the good ol' days.

Alright, it worked.
Thanks amigo.

...which doesn't change the fact that it is borked. You need a graphics card, user.

what this user

means to say is the bottle neck is the read/write speed of your hard drive. CPU speed and RAM don't mean fucking shit when re-arranging blocks on a hard drive

2TB (1863GB) / 90MB per second read
=20,700 seconds
=345 minutes
=5.75 hours (worst case/full or almost full HD)


It looks like you are using winblows, winjews has a built in defrag utility
Is it any faster than CDM? probably not

If I just do trial and error, do I risk damaging my components?

worst case you reset the machine/bios to factory
I doubt there is a way to fuck up a MOBA by just moving jumper cables

Oh and make sure you put them back to default before you turn it back on.
What exactly are you trying to do again? And why? Like, backstory and details.

You get your host machine to bridge your guests and from there you choose what you want to do for VPN.

Still looking for an answer for this other than "You can fix it in the config". I checked about:config and thought about it and there's nothing obvious.

Not the only one having this problem

There should be some "extra options" action in the boot menu that lets you edit the kernel command line before booting it. Append "forcepae" at the end and see if it boots then.

Why would you ever want to stop it? &:^■)

I've played around with cryptocoins in the past but I still don't get how exactly they work.

Say I go to this site: bitaddress.org/ and generate a public and private key. Obviously people can use the public key to send me funds, but how do I access the bitcoins or send them places. I don't have a wallet at the moment but if I did, could I use (by itself) my private key to access my bitcoins? Essentially like it's a password? I can't remember if that was an option when I was using cryptos in the past.

Ok it seems you can access the coins using the private key and a wallet.

What if I want to check how many bitcoins are at the address without installing a wallet?

blockchain.info/

Depends on the functionality you need out of your OS. Don't forget about compatibility with web browsers.

what the fuck is in here? its not pagefile, checked with windir empty as well

Very dumb. XP is unmaintained and therefore its security is swiss cheese. Do NOT connect an XP machine to the internet, it will get pwned within minutes.

It's fine to have a networkless machine with old Windows for ancient software. Just make sure to keep it offline.

Likely filesystem overhead.

is there chance something bad will happen if I just format that partition?

Hello oh techy wise ones. Forgive this humble pleb, but what is the best browser available in your opinions? I am currently using pale moon...

Where can I find some good C language exercises with solutions ? I started learning it and I want to test my skills so far.

services.msc is your friend

Trying to reset my CMOS, so your worst case scenario is my best case.
Can't take a picture (Potato quality picture, and it always comes up as 0_videoframe.bmp), but the mobo model is support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03728549 . Yeah, complete shit tier, I know.

I already looked at that picture, its not high enough resolution/close enough to tell anything about the pins
Go with what you know:
Default pins are 1 & 3, you need to move them to 3 & 5 so one of the pins (3 of 1&3) will be part of the new combination (3 of 3&5)

why are you trying to reset your cmos? What problem did you have, what are you trying to accomplish by resetting your cmos?

Not really.

There's a whole thread about this subject: You already got the right answer.

Hello Holla Forums. So I have Verizon FIos and all I want to do is connect my shiny new openwrt router to the ONT (their box that connects me to WAN) but Pajeet is having a hard time helping me out.

Please for the love of god help me.

I plug in a CAT5E ethernet cable I made and tested both into the Verizon Router and the ONT (their box). I manage to receive an IP from their DHCP server. OK.

Next, I plug in the same cable, first into the ONT and then into my OPENWRT router. No dice. Packets are going to the ONT but I'm not getting any replies. At most I received maybe 10 packets ~ 1kilobyte of info from the ONT over a span of two hours.

Then I tried connecting the CAT5E coming from the ONT into a computer I had laying around. Surprise surprise it worked.

This got me thinking... The ONT box only supports 10/100 mbps connections... who the fuck knows if it doesn't support autonegotiation? Definitely Pajeet doesn't know. Each of the objects I used only support 10/100 mbps (the computer I used was kind of old) and they worked.

At a cursory glance I think maybe I'm sending data at 1000 mbps and the ONT doesn't ever understand it. What do you think? If I attach a crappy switch on one end then connect it to the actual router, would that work?

I just want internet back without dealing with their shitty router

(nice gets)
I set a USB as my first boot, now it'll only load for a few seconds before shitting itself

...

you don't need to reset the cmos for that lmao. You just need to edit the bios.
Unplug everything boot related. Unplug your hard drive unplug your USB make sure no discs are in any disc drive etc.... Press the setup button usually f12 or f8 or some other shit go into the bios and manually set the first boot drive to best hard drive..... You don't need any bootable disc to edit the bios settings. I've never ever had to actually use jumpers to do/fix anything.

user, I can't acsess BIOS. It'll freeze after mere seconds.

What the fuck is going on with my fonts and how do I fix it?

Something unicode related maybe?

wanna help me out a bit? half the page is like this.

your mobo is probably fucked bro :(

try booting with just 1 stick of ram
inspect your board for swolen capacitors or scorch marks

:((((((((((

Is there any reason I shouldn't provide my wifi for free?

Two pcs on the network won't be able to tamper with or intercept each other, will they?

If you have some spare change go a retail store and buy a new power supply to rule out a bad power supply. If it doesn't change anything just return it, if it does solve the issue return it anyway and buy a cheaper one from amazon.

There are a lot of reasons why you'd want to secure your WiFi network.

1. So people don't download illegal shit off of it (pirating, pizza, etc.)

2. Your network won't throttle if the person connected to the network is downloading 3982374946 movies.

3. The possibility of an attacker gaining access to your router and owning you.

4. If you fuck up and accidentally allow people on your network to access a web interface of a device when they're on the network (a printer for a quick example) they can fuck with that.

If any of the above are not issues go ahead.

come on guise,
I know this place isn't full of talent but I saw your CSS birthday present to Stallman

I live in a relatively crowded downtown and I provide a passwordless access point people can freely connect to.
The router configuration interface is secured and I could even have it emit 2 different access points, one private and the other public, for greater isolation.

Drive-by guests should in fact be more cautious of your Wi-Fi connection than you. You can spy on their unencrypted communications, provide fake DNS responses that will serve your own versions of the Facebook and Gmail homepages, and if users aren't careful enough not to type any credentials unless they see a valid certificate they could fall for the honeypot


not a problem unless you live in a shit country where the entertainment industry has the power to make the government go after sharing

learn to use tc or any other NIC-level bandwidth shaper/throttler

this is a real concern, but doesn't mean it's the end of the world if you take care of your config and your hardware/firmware isn't irreparably vulnerable

create a separate WLAN for maximum precaution


that's funny. if you pay attention it's only the Monospace fonts that are fucked up. First thing I would try is changing to a different font in the browser configuration, then I'd try to figure out whether I'm missing some important font package

A friend left their HDD with ~200GB of content on it at my house, now they live in a different state. I was hoping to compress the shit out of it and put the archive on a disk which I could mail to him. I don't have any permissions to do anything other than read the contents, though, and the owners are all listed as 99:99 or 501:dialout (I'm pretty sure he's a mac user). Trying to chown them doesn't get me anywhere. Anyone have any tips? Would he be able to recover it all if I just dd everything into an .img file?

He would have to mount/clone it for it to be of any use. However it will likely be a direct copy of the disk, which means the files size will be close to 200GiB. However one therotical method could be to run lrzip on the the iso as lrzip is designed to work on files. I can test this first if you want?

I have been asked to find a solution for the following:

We have 300 stores containing sales data with different minimum and maximum order quantities and ranges for each store.

We have a field sales team who do these orders and update the stock levels for each store.

I am assuming this will be a web development project. There will have to be a central database of products but how is it possible to track differing stock levels for 300 locations.

By the way, these ranges will be updated MONTHLY so it would need to have some feature to mass import the ranges.

I thought of something like Salesforce but that is way out of budget. Management wants a quick/cheap solution but I don't think that is possible. I am estimating this would be a software/web development project with costs exceeding $10-15K. Am I correct in this assumption? Do you have any suggestions?

Is there such a thing as a GNU/Linux distro that lets you download packages via P2P? Like, instead of downloading it from one (or more) mirror, you just download the package from the people who have already downloaded it, and then when it's done you can help seed it. Is this a thing?

Also, would such a thing work combined with Gentoo style USE flags, but instead of the source code being downloaded and compiled, the compilation occurs on the server(s) and then it gets downloaded and seeded, so the next time someone wants the same package with the same USE flags, he can fetch it from you (and others who have downloaded it)?

Sorry if I'm sounding like a retard here, not experienced enough with this stuff yet.

Off-topic: the sudden font change on this banner triggered me.

I ended up just installing Inconsolata and rebooted and it just werked

now to the matter at hand.

I thought I could just install alsamixer and it would just werk

I am going to test iDempiere and see if that will suit. Wish me luck

Trying to figure out wtf firefox is doing

Anyone able to help me troubleshoot this?

Best I can tell is it's caught up in some infinite garbage collection loop.

You're using windows anyways just fucking use chrome god damn

Firefox is shit, probably some memory leaks or some shit. If you're worried about memory usage then don't since browsers always scale their memory usage based on available RAM, they bias RAM over pagefiles

Seriously though, just get Chrome, or at least Chromium, you might as well,

Thank you very much for your effort.

I'm basically completely new to smartphones/Android. Using Cyanogenmod. Any apps that Holla Forums considers important?

Fuck yes, that's the shit I needed.

If I can make some more suggestions, all from F-Droid: Wifi Key View,Wifi Police, SimpleReboot, Open Camera, /system/ app mover,No-frills CPU Controller,OS MonitorLeafPic. I can agree with on almost all of their suggestions, except for a few personal quibbles. The use of none free code, yes I know that drivers (and still running on the stock ROM as I don't want to mess up my primary/only just yet) makes this almost moot.
According to application page it doen't track you when you download maps (and other such things) any more.
Also is the any reason why the capatacha is now a popup which breaks their own fork, which now only some times posts if I do the capatcha on a desktop and even right now fail on me. Luckly Ouroboros, has a always working capatacha but it doesn't transfere over to "Everychan". Also work flow is shot bit if I have to do use the clipbaord and two applications just to reliably make a post, when I can use just a desktop but then I can save threads easily as the DollChan scrpt doesn't really work as well).

hello guys.

I am a student and I really really need the Adobe CC programs. Most importantly Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. I am not a complete pleb when it comes to computers but this is unsolvable for me.

I have downloaded different applikations from Torrent websites and filesharing sites but I can't get it activated! Most downloads are LOADED with viruses and trojans.

I really need help with this.

Stay away from filesharing sites like MEGA and youtube videos, that's where you have more chance to catch trojans.
Always look for the most seeded torrent and read the comments for eventual problems/viruses if you're not sure, and last but not least, block the installers AND executables with your firewall and detach your ethernet cable/wifi before running them, and do a MBAM/VirusTotal scan, just in case.
torrentproject.se should help you find the right torrent.

Thanks. I just discovered that there is apparently a difference between CS6 and CC. Someone on reddit wrote that I would have to download the CS6 version and then swap out the amtlib.dll with a cracked one. I am now trying to find a cracked amtlib.dll file for PS, ID and IL.

Also, read the README file first since you've got some problems activating them.

If I were you I'd look for a better torrent, all the torrents I've found always contained a "Crack" folder with amtlib.ddl, without having to search for a download link

Most Torrents I found contained the patcher or a keygen. Since I already downloaded the originally file from adobe I really only need the amtlib.dll file.
Does the patcher only work with CC or with CS6 aswell?

What distro? What sound card? Come on, user. You need to provide us with basic info if we are to help you.

ah I'm using arch.

What do you guys think?

Network Manager.

Yay or nay?

Sometimes, your antivirus tells you that the key generator is a virus, but it's just scaring you into not pirating shit so there's that.

However, most of the time your antivirus is right so there's also that.

The two big fans in my case that were in the front and top broke and all that's left is the small one in the back. Doesn't really matter unless you live in florida with no AC. I still have the fans on my CPU heatsink and gpu and the only thing that happens is they get loud in summer sometimes.

Just a heads up, if you have an nvidia card I wouldn't suggest upgrading geforce experience to 3.0. It's a fuckin piece of shit. They fucked shadowplay and I couldn't get it to work, plus they want you to sign in with a google, facebook or nvidia account and it's mandatory. Had to reinstall the older one and downgrade my driver so I can save my shitty game clips again that I'll never use.

No, these are card mixing controls. effect should be immediate.

Which socket do you have your speakers connected to?

ah, I dont have speakers. I just have my headphones plugged in.

To the socket on the front of your case?

yes. Tried that and "amixer sset Headphone 50" already, still nothing.

Guys, how much does a flagship gpu by amd cost? I want to buy the rx490 once it's released and I would like to know what kind of price to expect. I am not really into hardware and only ever bought 2 gpu's so far, booth were like 250€

amixer sset Front unmute
?
If that doesn't work, the problem is elsewhere, as we've turned on all potentially relevant mixer controls.

Judging by the specs, expect ~600€ on launch. It will fall within a few months.

FUCK THAT WORKED! THANK YOU user.

Now I just have to figure out how to get the volume buttons on my keyboard to actually work

They're just normal keyboard buttons. You need to have global hotkeys set in whatever desktop environment you are using.

right now I'm using openbox but I'm planning on setting up xfce4 as well so I can have a panel at the top as well.

Openbox can do hotkeys by itself. RTFM, user, it's all there.

Oh, and if the panel is all that you want from XFCE, try also lxpanel as a very lightweight and functional alternative. Works great with openbox. It's what I use on my netbook.

oh I know openbox can do it. I wanted xfce to set up that panel but if lxpanel can give me that I'll check it out. Thanks

I have a third party xbox controller, PowerA Mini Ex, it worked fine on my last pc. I plugged it into my new one and it said "PowerA Driver failed to install."

I plug it in and the normal windows 7 "plugging in usb" sound sounds super weird. Makes a staggering noise. Light on the controller turns on for a second or two then turns off. Normal sound when I unplug the controller.

There's a dongle on it as well, when I keep it in the USB port then plug in the dongle same thing occurs with the strange staggered "duhnuhnuh" USB noise.

For the record, the commands to increase/decrease volume are:
amixer sset Master 2+amixer sset Master 2-
That's what you want your hotkeys to launch. Good luck!

lol, you just had to unmute it. this happens to EVERY SINGLE Arch n00b.

Say you wanted to keep a few extra rechargable lithium batteries for your flashlight. They come with a charge, but it's not a full charge. How long do you think they would last unused before they start degrading in capacity, assuming they were recently manufactured?

If I say used the battery once a year, discharging it, charging it fully, then discharging to about 40% before storing again, would that increase longevity?

Is HDR a meme? I don't see any problems with colour on my monitor.

I installed a new graphics card and the computer won't beep, won't POST and nothing on display.

Is my PSU underpowered?

I've done several PSU calculations with the things I have and it says I should be fine with 465W for my whole setup.

Is 750W enough for:
Intel i5-2500
16GB RAM
AMD R9 390
2 SSDs
2 HDDs
Coolermaster V8 CPU fan
2 chassi fans.

Is there a good website for PSU calculations?

in my experience
yep, PSU upgrade is your next step. Get one from a box store that you can return the same day if it doesn't work.
bonus points if you return it anway and get a cheaper one online
750 might cut it close but it won't cost you anything except some gas and time if a 750 ends up not being enough.

Then somehow the graphics card specs are not honest about the power it needs.

I'm supposed to have almost 200W excess with the stuff I have now. Unless the chassi fans and cpu fan takes 200W or the SSDs magically suck the juice up it should work.

When I booted the computer without putting the PCI power cables in the GPU the computer beeped. But when I put the PCI cables in, the fans on the GPU started spinning but no beep or POST.

Correction: I already have a 750W PSU. I ordered a 1000W one.

Why doesn't this work?

I want to check if input is a url, if it is then it should redirect to input, if not it should redirect to duckduckgo+input

var input = document.getElementById("search");function ValidURL(str) { var pattern = new RegExp('^(https?:\/\/)?' + // protocol '((([a-z\d]([a-z\d-]*[a-z\d])*)\.)+[a-z]{2,}|' + // domain name '((\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}))' + // OR ip (v4) address '(\:\d+)?(\/[-a-z\d%_.~+]*)*' + // port and path '(\?[;&a-z\d%_.~+=-]*)?' + // query string '(\#[-a-z\d_]*)?$', 'i'); // fragment locater if (!pattern.test(str)) { return false; } else { return true; }}function search() { if (ValidURL(input)) { window.location.href = input; } else { window.location.href = 'duckduckgo.com/bang?q=' + input; }}
the html

check if you can boot with minimum ram new GPU and just 1 hard drive

I removed all hard drives, all chassi fans and it still wouldn't boot with the new GPU.

So Mobo with CPU, CPU fan and GPU failed to boot alone.

do you still have the old gpu? swap it back and try to boot just to double check that its a problem that occurs with the new GPU and then if you have 2 free slots put them both in and try....

Yeah I put the old GPU back so I can use my computer until Monday. New PSU won't be delivered until then.

I have two PCI slots for GPUs but I don't have more power cables for it.

I feel like my router has gone all fucky.

I thought I'd use this new router to share the internet connection in a new apartment, but it keeps seeming to shut off the internet connection for some reason (internet light turning orange). I've pretty much no idea what to do at this point to get any of this fixed.

Routers are like printers. They all come with an embedded killswitch that causes the unit to get progressively more fucky so people buy a new one every year.

Not even being facetious, this shit happens to ALL consumer routers and printers.

by
do you mean with the current built-in wifi card?
Have you tried with a USB wifi card?


what exactly is happening? Are you able to discover wifi networks? Is your computer not even recognizing the wifi device in device manager?

Here's a cool test. Smell it. Does it smell smokey/burnt at all?

what router? most consumer routers are manufactured in china with fucking terrible quality control, especially the newer ones.


that only explains it when they inexplicably break even when not being in use

most printers are just cheapo loss-leading products and are often given away. They just use them as a vessel to sell overpriced ink.

commercial/professional printers being the exeption

I use wangblows 10 on my school laptop. Should I be running tronscript after every "update" or is that just a waste of time?

Do you have to?

I use it for literally nothing else but schoolwork (cyberfox + libreoffice + thunderbird are about everything I have on it.) I don't have to use Win10, but I don't feel like installing Linux either.

Easy scripting.

Tried TP-Link initially and now ASUS. The first router was about two days old from the store while the second was just from today.

So these aren't ancient routers that broke down over time, but rather they're brand new routers that just don't seem to be working super.

My last router, that worked, was a modem/router I had because I had a DSL connection in my last apartment. What I'm using now is a fiber optics connection with a gigabit speed and was trying to use a router to share the connection.

In the last 30 minutes I've tried out copying the MAC address that I got from ipconfig when just using a direct connection to my desktop computer and plugging that address into my router. I'm slightly hoping it was some odd problem that is solved by that. Noticed I had to re-enter captcha so I must have messed with something related to IP or addresses or something.

Okay, I've fiddled a nuclear shitton jumps here, jumps there, tried every fucking combination. Tried the battery trick, Etc. Only two things I haven't tried are a mobo change (because I don't have one that'll fit into the case) and turning the computer on while the jumpers are a diffrent setting than deafult. Should I risk damaging it further?

Turning it on that way isn't going to damage anything, you should also try starting it without any of those jumpers plugged into pins at all

last trick to try: while everything is unplugged and the cmos battery is out take a paper clip/something metal and touch it to the 2 jumper pins that are above the part that says CLR_CMOS hold for a few seconds....

I'm thinking theres more wrong with your mobo than just a misconfigured bios.
:(

I wanna fill out the same survey multiple times with the same answers to change the results. Its on zoho surveys and there's no captcha. Any programs out there that can do this? Or should I write a python script?

Whenever I try to play certain games in wine but I can't save them.

[nsfw] legendofkrystal.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=4428&cache=1

There are two options: save as a flash cookie, or save to the clipboard.
If I save the as a flash cookie in the game, it will remember where it was for a little bit but not forever.
If I save it to the clipboard, the game freezes.

Also, I'm using wine staging to play it. Whenever I start it, it always asks me to install a couple of things that I need to play the game. Even if say I decline, it still ends up playing the game though.
Is this what is causing it? Why is it still able to play the game?
I think this has happened with other games I've played and its kind of confusing.

Basically I have no fucking idea what I'm doing with wine and I want to play to crappy degenerate pornographic flash games. pls halp

Is there any way in linux or otherwise to clone a file in such a way that it does not actually get copied in your hard drive, but instead you just have 2 references to the same file. If you edit one of them, they both will change because they're pointing at the same file, and the file is only deleted if you delete BOTH of those references.

A little like shortcuts, except if you delete the original file, the shortcut file should not break.

Symlinks?

What you describe is called a hard link. Use the ln command to create one.

It's all fun and games with the multiport extension until you need to remove a single port in that rule.

Do I absolutely have to create a new multiport rule without that port and then delete the old multiport rule?

How do I throttle my bitcoin node in Linux?

What do you mean by "throttle"? CPU usage? bandwidth? Storage I/O? What Bitcoin software runs the node?

I'm running Debian and haven't actually installed any software yet. But I suppose I'm going with bitcoin core? Is there anything else?

Should I bother using a VPN to fileshare on an unencrypted, public wifi? What's the ISP going to do, throttle the connection of an entire university?

do you not need to enter student credentials in a web portal before it lets you use the connection?

The x200 was released before Expresscard2.0 came out so you must have 1.0. They are backwards compatible but it might bottleneck down to USB2.0 speeds.

According to the PCI Passthrough's guide on the IG wiki I need two graphics card, one for the VM and one for the OS. The problem here is that I can't figure out how to make my secondary card (for the OS) work, even though Linux fully detects it and even gives me the choice to change the drivers it still doesn't give any output when connected to the secondary PCI slot, but if I plug it into the first slot it works flawlessly and the primary card for the VM in the second one doesn't give any output either
I've tried to update the BIOS but it didn't change anything, I own an MSI Z97 PC MATE, any help?

Just bought a thinkpad x200. It currently has win10. What steps would I need to take to make this laptop free and secure?
I'm still somewhat of a newbie when it comes to tech, but I'm assuming I should install a hardened gentoo, arch, or slackware and then install libreboot. How easy is it to install libreboot on an x200?

thanks in advance.

first of all, get rid of the hard drive. theres no knowing what kind of backdoor bullshit or spyware can be installed on it. even with a full on hard drive wipe, shit can still be written to the firmware.
second, if you're new to linux, you have multiple options, but i'll take a jab at the ones you listed. if you want something that justwerks(TM) with little maintenance, i would suggest slackware. if you want it to be free as in libre (full autist tier), look up the FSF approved distros here (gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html). gentoo is really for anyone that wants full on control over everything in their kernel and shit.
i personally use arch, but tbh, its baby's first linux.
as for librebooting an x200, i actually suggest coreboot. the only reason libreboot exists is because coreboot offers completely optional binary blobs. because of this, libreboot is available on a lot less hardware than coreboot. also, libreboot threw a bitchfit about how gnu is "transphobic" when they fired a transgender employee for "no reason" and quit gnu, if that matters to you.
anyways, if you want to libreboot an x200, its pretty simple. however, there are a lot of variables that you'll need to take into account (like certain parts), or else core/libreboot won't be compatible.
but with coreboot, you'll need a raspberry pi or any SoC with GPIO pins, so its a lot LOT more complicated.

Done. Do I just get another off ebay?

Gentoo appeals to my obsessiveness, so I guess that's the one for me. Hope I don't get memed.
That's retarded, but ultimately irrelevant to the functionality of the program. So if I understand correctly, libreboot is free from coreboot's proprietary- but optional- binary blobs and is also easier to install. Libreboot it is, I think.

Hey so before asking here I did my part of google searching but it was too hard for me to understand so i'll just ask here.
So I want to copy a part of the source code of a page from X to Y to the clipboard or to somewhere else. I don't understand a lot how stuff work so just the command would be good (probably using javascript or something so I can put a shortcut in the bookmark bar).
thank you very much.

If I still have plenty of space is there any danger in splitting my main linux partition? I assume it'll take a long time to finish in any case.

Libreboot maintainers are getting pissed off at it, so the project could possibly be disrupted to the point of dying. I think it's still the best option in this case but keep that in mind.

I'm running a KVM VM using libvirt, with the default NAT bridge networking.

Then the extension probably has jack shit to do with the contents of the file. What's the game? What does file tell you about the file type?

I downloaded a tar.gz of a screensaver. I extracted it. but how do I use these files. where should I put them?

So I set up Debian with KDE, and installed some Nvidia drivers.
After installing the drivers, KDE refuses to start, and all I get is the base terminal.
I tried reinstalling the KDE-full package, but it still won't work.
I also tried "service kdm restart", and no errors pop up, the screen goes black for a few frames, and then I'm just shown the terminal again.
I also also tried "startkde" but it just says "$DISPLAY not set"
Perhaps I need to set the display to the new Nvidia one?
What do I do?

You use "startx" to start an X session from the terminal. "startkde" is supposed to be called from your xinitrc script.

Also, look at the Xorg.log to see what went wrong.

Well, I did start X and it game me: "fatal server error: no screens found"
It seems like the problem is the Nvidia driver made my screen unrecognizable.

Is it even possible to wipe out everything from a phone before selling it?

And yes, I did completely fill the phone memory with random data a few times. I still don't know if everything is deleted before selling.

Strike Base
Not sure what you mean, it just says .HD file. It's also the biggest one on the game's folder so it has to contain all the models and sounds in it.

Well, flash memories don't exactly work like HDDs when it comes to data wiping, kinda like SSDs. Obviously not much will be recoverable after a random wiping, also keep in mind that chances that the average joe you'll sell the phone to knows jackshit about forensics and data recovery are pretty low anyway.
Next time encrypt the phone from day one.
Also take a look at this for more info: cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/Papers/fr_most15.pdf

Yeah, it's interesting how flash memory works. Though the mistake has been made and I didn't encrypt the phone, I don't want all my pictures, contacts or other logs to be recoverable in the chance some guy gets bored.

I thought that maybe after filling up the memory 10 to 15 times with random stuff would be enough, but I am not sure. It's a shame, I could had made $100.

Don't worry much about it, recovering data from flash memory is a hell lot nore difficult than plugging a SATA drive and thinkering with it on Linux, sell it to a nigger to be 100% sure he won't look into it, also as I said before a few random wipes will get the job done.
Or you can always go full-autist and use Guttmann wiping... the choice is yours.

This sounds interesting, but how can I do it on a phone's internal memory? If I just connect the phone and use this method, won't the phone just shutdown once some critical file is deleted?

Okay, doing it while turned on worked, thanks a shitton user, you seriously deserve a virtual hug.

testing

Well, it should work the same way as using "dd if=/dev/urandom of=", after you uninstalled and deleted every user data and app (not the system ones obviously) you overwrite the free space of the phone with a customized bash function, because AFAIK there's no such thing as /dev/guttmann by default since Guttmann himself said his method is overkill for any drive. You should look it up by yourself, also if you really did write the free space with /dev/urandom 10 times then you're good to go.

Thanks man, I'll look it up.

Can someone register a Facebook account using an email address they don't have access to?
I logged into my outlook mail which I hadn't done since I made it in 2013 and I see over 1000 messages from Facebook and apparently some turk used it to make an account.
The message with the activation link and activation code wasn't read, nor were any of the others, but that's not really a reliable indication of whether or not they actually had access.

Not only that but there have been 2 unsuccessful attempts to log into it, one from Russia and one from Vietnam.

Try IOBit Malware Fighter & Spybot – Search & Destroy and if that doesn't fix the problem, then it time to re-install your OS and use a non-Windows VM, if your using Windows, for your baking.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem in W10?

Do I really need to go back to W7?

I've currently a process active that still needs 14 hours to finish and w10 file explorer, context menus and taskbar aren't working...

so i can't do a shit except browsing the net while waiting.. if i accidentally close browser, i can't start it without restarting, becaues ctrl-alt-del is also not working

w10 is trash

FYI user if you go back to 7, there's many issues with updating right now. There's the "Never finish updating or getting updates" bug that's been plaguing users on Windows 7 since March.

How many times can I rewrite an audio CD before it starts to loose audio quality. I forget to check to burn with CD-Text when I burned a bunch of CDs for my car, now I have to reburn them all and I'm wondering if there is going to be a loss in audio quality because of it?

Is it unrealistic to expect Nvidia's binary drivers to work properly in a musl-based distro like Alpine Linux or stali? Running glibc programs like Steam in a chroot is fine with me.

I'll still try it, can't really use w10, because of compatibility issues. My cable tv-card is giving blue screens.

W8.1 is the last choice if 7 is shitting on my face.

Webm for Bakas is what I use

In short no it shouldn't as it is all digital files. A longer reply, as I understand it eventually the disk could potentially be damaged by the data burning lazer, which could then cause audio skipping and a reduction in qaulity.

I have a IPS monitor and it is well worth it. That said, seeing as you will be doing alot of typing I would assume usability would be a requirement. If you see yourself working while on the move then the increased portability would be a good idea. However once you set up shop, the increased screen estate will help when working as the screen is bigger, which requires less straining of the eyes.

My AM3+ system now hangs when entering sleep mode or restart. Switching off the power supply was necessary to successfully boot but that no longer seems to work. Last time I checked, the voltages were OK. It now no longer POSTs.

I've had to miss several badly timed live streams on Youtube now that didn't upload the archives when they ended. What's a good way to record them while I'm away from the computer, DVR style? Jewgle gave me an idea of how to record them when I'm at my computer:
stackoverflow.com/questions/37040798/how-do-you-use-youtube-dl-to-download-live-streams-that-are-live

I figured I can just plug a command into crontab to get it to save the stream at the specified time, assuming at the time the command executes the stream has already started, correct? So just give the streamers about 10-15 minutes of slack to make sure the stream has definitely started, and it'll successfully output the file. Problem is, I figured I could do this, but I realized I'd never learned how to do it properly in the case of a more complex program:


I'm not sure how to finish the command. If I were typing it myself, it would just be

How do I make the output of youtube-dl the input for ffmpeg?

I tested something, because I wanted to know it too. I'm not a bash pro, so I don't know if this is an elegant solution, but it worked. I use the sleep function as timer, here for 10 seconds. Here I pass the command line argument of youtube-dl inside of ffmpeg. You might have problems with the aac sound stream or like me the package maintainer just changed the name of youtube-dl to youtube-dl2, so test it with availabe streams first. Make sure that the whole command doesn't abort, because the stream isn't available yet.

Does it work well with grub? Or have any of you guys successfully dualboot-ed reactos?

I heard that it's minimal requirement for a drive partition is 500MB and about 10 years ago they said that reactOS doesn't work when it's not installed in a primary partition.

What version of dotNETs are reactOS support or capable of? (assuming it's FOSS dotNET and not microsoft's)

I just wanna use it for my paint software. I'm tired of wine and don't know how to install required frameworks etc. while it always wants me to install Gecko plugin every single time and I hate linux dependency hell and systemdick.

does it make a difference to use my onboard audio instead of gpu audio? these are some questions i have:

also adding, i remember in ye olde days you could even get a 4-5 fps boost from having a sound card

pls halp
A friend of my mom's is selling an iMac and I want to buy it. I'm pretty sure it's stolen but not certain. I'm unfamiliar when it comes to Apple shit and don't want to buy it if someone can track it back to me. Basically how do I find out if it's safe to buy or not?

Anyone mind helping with some printer shit? I hate printer shit. I also hate this printer. HP Photosmart 7510, C311a. Trying to get it to print double sided documents from a 2010 MacBook Pro, but it absolutely refuses to. Reinstalled drivers numerous times, reset printers in printers and fax settings, no change. It used to double side print with auto pickup, but doesn't do so anymore. Already tried googling this but none of the solutions have worked. Trying to avoid Durkhas on the phone.

i have a set of TP-Link AV200 ethernet over power adapters. ive paired them together and all the appropriate lights show up on the devices. the wire going into the back of the router from device A has the orange light lit up on the port. the wire going into the back of my computer from device B also has an orange light lit up on the port

however, my computer is detecting no wired connection, with the general message 'A network cable is unplugged' on the adapter. anyone have any ideas? it seems like if i have all the lights things should be working

fa/tg/uy here, I'm looking for a program to organize a lot of interlinking information for my campaign. Stuff for my setting like characters, cities, monsters ect. stuff that would cross reference a lot. I would like to easily share what I write with players in a format that normies can read without much trouble. it would also be great if it was based on QT to fit in with my KDE desktop. It triggers my autism how gtk apps looks so different no matter what I do.

Is that your mom or her friend on that photo?

Have you tried Libreoffice Base?
That's probably the easiest way, if that works for you.

Anyone? I wanna get rid of MS's botnet bullshit asap.

Are there any recommended thinkpad bios setting tweaks recommended here? I'm looking for increased security.

That would be great for keeping track of the stats for monsters and hostile npcs but not narrative stuff like character's back-story, magic spells ect. which would all need to be written closer to a Wikipedia article rather than a column in a spreadsheet.

Is it possible for a database to have long entries of plain text? If not I think I'll use cherrytree until my setting becomes too big.

Hello, Holla Forums. I just started using Linux Mint KDE 18 since it was launched, and I've been experiencing some strange shit.

Whenever I reboot my computer, or just shut it off completely, sometimes I'm greeted with the same programs I had since before shutdown. It was as if the programs remembered their states from hard memory before storing it again in RAM.

They're not startup programs, either; I logged in and found that I'm in the same chat room on Telegram and everything, without having to sign in.

Dafuq?

Best OS (and Distro) to use on a late 2012 MacBook Pro?

Wouldn't a good, 100% trustworthy VPN be more secure than using TOR?

youtube-dl supports livestream capture out of the box.
If you want to pipe it to ffmpeg you could use something like
youtube-dl -o - | ffmpeg -i - -c copy output.mkv

It's called "desktop session management" and has been a feature of unix desktop for the last 30 years. Basically, when you close your X session, the window manager asks every running X app "we're closing, give me a short blob describing your current state so that you can restore it later" and records the answers on disk. When you start up the next time, if there exists a saved session, each of recorded apps is started with a parameter that says "here's the blob you gave me the last time, plz restore yourself to the same state".

In KDE you can configure it in the System Settings - go to Workspace | Startup and Shutdown | Desktop Session. Every other desktop environment too has settings to control that somewhere.

I already get the PCIe + its generations and configurations, and I'm not getting SLI but I'm wondering what exactly are they detailing on motherboard specifications on the PCIe part. Again I get the gens, configs, multiple PCIe slots and whatnot I'm just wondering what these lines of the different configs mean. Also what defines a PCIe lane? I know you need a CPU capable of handling the lanes but that's it.

SledgeOS using the Kinematic installer

and i dont mean some sort of docker bullshit either

The LONGVARCHAR type (Memo in Libreoffice Base) should work for that.


No, even if it is completely trustworthy (which it never is) it's a single point of failure, and that's something tor doesn't have.

I know coincidence detector is safe,
but what the fuck are these other two things that I never remember installing and can't find anywhere in my list of addons?

Situation:

Anyone know a good, registration-less upload that's both SFW and worth visiting?

mixtape.moe
it's hosted by drybones so use adblocker, but you can give people direct links to downloads and they won't see a thing besides the file itself

Don't think anybody can trace it back to you unless there's a chance your mom's friend can be traced back.

I changed my MAC via macchanger but after I do so I can't connect any longer. I first brought down eth0 via ´ifconfig eth0 down´ before applying any MAC changes.
Is there something I am doing wrong here?

var ayy = [1,2,3]for (i in ayy) alert(ayy[i]);
This works fine
var ayy = [1,2,3]for (i in ayy) alert(ayy[i+1])
This outputs "undefined" for each iteration, even the first two. Could someone explain why?

var ayy = [1,2,3]for (i in ayy){alert(ayy[+i + +1])}
It thinks those are strings so make sure it thinks they are numbers

How on earth do I compile a Texinfo source to Info? I have Texinfo 6.3 installed, downloaded the Guile manual source and then tried running either of these:
texi2any guile.texitexi2any guile.texi/*.texitexi2any guile.texi/guile.texi
But all of them throw just a bunch of errors. What's the proper way of compiling a project that consists of more than one file?

gnu.org/software/guile/manual/guile.texi.tar.gz

Works now, thanks very much user

Like I said I'm unfamiliar with appleshit but even I know they have things like "findmymac" and shit such as that. Not worried about police tracking it back to me I'm worried the original owner tracking to my house and then sending the police over. I've brought the computer to my house and connected to Wi-Fi (not very smart ik) but I've went through the entire computer and it appears to be empty. The only traces of someone using it before me is that it is password protected i have the password administrator name is a local business across town which is why I believe it's stolen and some internet browsing history in safari. It's not signed into iTunes/icloud or anything like that though.

Basically if there is anyone here familiar with Apple products all i want to know is how can I check if the computer is tracable/linked to somebodies account?

I seen that it wasn't signed into anyone's icloud account so I thought it would be safe, that's why I went ahead and connected to WiFi. But I was reading some other shit online and my mom kept nagging me and now I'm paranoid.

Couldn't you just wipe the hard drive? I would do that with a used computer regardless of whether it was stolen or not.

To wipe the Mac insert the boot device with OS X (USB-drive or DVD), hold down alt while turning the machine on and select the device. From there you can launch Disk Utility to format the hard drive.

wipe the hard drive and install gnu/linux

would that work to remove an iCloud account linked to the computer though?
I've been searching trying to find out how this shit works but its confusing. I've seen one guy who was buying a second hand iMac who was worried about about the person selling it to him could use findmymac to lock the device to get more money out of him. he was planning on just doing a complete wipe of the system but i guess that won't work. some guy who's had experience with this shit told him...
I can confirm (from second-hand bad experience & first-hand testing) that a complete disk erase & clean reinstall does not disable Find My Mac.
he did say however that a mac can only be linked to ONE findmymac account at a time. like i said this iMac isn't logged into any accounts, including iCloud. should i register a new iCloud account on it and try to set up my own FMM on it? is there any way for it to be tracked other than FMM?

About to buy chinkshit Cube iwork10 for lightweight work. It's a dualboot model that has both Windows 10 and some newer Android.

How difficult is it to replace Windows with Linux on these shits? I don't care about Android that much but if I can switch Win with Linux without removing the secondary OS then that would be awesome.

What experience does Holla Forums even have with chinkshit tablets? Is there a better alternative to the iwork10? etc...

Could someone be so nice and post the /tech recommended reading pic. I can't locate it anywhere.

that's what dropbox is for you dumb fuck

I have a kind of unusual question. This seemed the best place to ask it without starting a thread somewhere.

I'm looking to see if an old acquaintance of mine has died recently. It didn't seem to be in any obituary's. I know his first name state and age. I knew him online.
Where can I find something like a coroner's report?

Is there way to fix this?

Yes. As shown by your very post there is a way to fix this.
Use utorrent.

...

Nigga, If I wanted to use uTorrent, I would have done it.
I fixed it anyways, I reduced the number of connections limit to a small amount and disabled UPnP/Nat PnP port forwarding no idea what it does tbh

I would suggest trying Transmission. However before that, have you enabled DL/UL rate limiting and updated to the latest version of 3.3.7?

Thanks to winUSB shitting on my drive this time, it's got data I can't erase or format, so I'm assuming it's a corrupt sector. How am I suppose to mark it as corrupt so it's not in the way?

Depending on how the source code is developed, running [./configure],[make] and then [sudo make install] should work.

Just register a throwaway account at Mega with a @mailinator.com e-mail address

There is no makefile and no configure file either. Or did you mean grabbing the entire Guile source code?

I've been under a rock since 2009. Forgive my ignorance. I've got a BLU phone, and want to root it, but can't find anything specifically said to work on this brand.

I need this phone, and cannot afford to brick it.

Hoping someone can point me to a prog or site where I can get edumacation sufficient to enable me to proceed.

Get a note 4

Oddly enough, someone offered me one for $50 only a couple days ago. Is that a good price?

Yes it is a very good price.

The entire source code should have those files and also build the man page for it as well. Wouldn't the manual just be in a text format by it's self?

Is it the BLU R1 HD? If so, this is what I used to root mine: forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-convert-to-prime-rollback-ota-t3432499

No, the studio g, and last time I checked that site there were no threads on blu phones.

Now there appear to be cyanogenmods for the studio g, although i haven't read them yet.

how do i unban myself from halfchan?

A pistol round to the face always works, or so I have heard.

Is it pretty much mandatory for the i7-6950X to be water cooled?

pls respond tbh I don't understand are they telling me where to put the video cards if I'm using SLI or...?

That's a ridiculously good price you mong, something has to be wrong with it for them to be selling it that cheap though.

Of course not. There are big honkin' air coolers out there that are more than capable of keeping that beast cool even when overclocked.

Ever since I got a new monitor (an acer XR341CK), my motherboard splash screen doesn't always show. Rarely it will but most of the time the monitor stays off then only turns on at the login screen, attempting to power it on if it doesn't do so itself gives me "No signal". I've been using a pc I built about six months ago and this issue never occurred with my old monitor yet it does with this one. Any ideas?

i have two questions Holla Forums what are:
Best meme distro for T410?
Best meme distro for silky smooth video playback?

I broke my perfectly working install i used for used 4 years on my shitty HPG6 that was configured through various fixes from all the corners of the internet.

I have no backups and twatted my Downloads folder with 237GB of shit

A few months back we had a power cut that caused the switch I was using for my fiber internet to fuck up. It was creating a network within the network and wouldn't connect to the internet. I fixed this by replacing the switch with a wired connection for the PC and PS4 using it.

2 days ago we had another power cut and now the PC will randomly drop the internet. If I'm connected to something it will stay connected but my browser doesn't seem to have a DNS server to work from. It just says "looking up" and never goes beyond that except an error message. When I checked the network it seems to be repeatedly dropping the connection to the router as well.

Any one got any ideas? I rebooted and that seemed to fix it for now but I'd like to know WTF is going on.

As I wrote this post it dropped again. It now seems to now be able to find the DNS for some websites and try to connect but won't. My phone is working perfect over wireless but my PC won't connect to anything.

Just bought pic related for 15 USD(+Shipping) since I want to bruteforce my way to literacy with programming and physical media helps me a lot more than those LEARN X THE HARD WAY programs.

Did I make a good call or should I have looked elsewhere?

It's a nice book, and pretty much programming cannon so everyone should read it at some point in their lives.

Personally I think there are better books for a first time programmer, but give it a read through and see what you think.

is it faster to learn vim or emacs?

don't care about long run type stuff, I'm eventually going to try out both so that doesn't matter, not looking for the eternal argument. Which is more productive after mere hours of use? I'm thinking Vim, since I can just use the insert command and pretend it's gedit

2/10

emacs has a nice GUI, the only problem is that its shortcuts are not classical stuff (copy-pasting is Alt-W Ctrl-Y instead of Ctrl-C Ctrl-V).
Step 1: launch emacs
Step 2: click on the "Emacs Tutorial" hyperlink
Step 3: spend half an hour reading it (most of it is shit anyway)
Step 4: profit

What's the cheapest way to get internet service on an LG Volt? Nothing fancy, I just want to look up prices online when I'm shopping.

I have a problem which started about 3 weeks ago. Each time I boot my computer for the first time of the day (or after a long period of no use), it will freeze around 5 minutes after the boot but is completely fine after a hard reset. It happens independently of the OS in use (Linux / Windows).

I've tested so far:

checkdisk, everything was fine

Testing individual memory sticks one at the time with memtest86, no problems detected

Unplugging every hardware pieces of the computer and clean/reseat them, still freezing

Updating or/and reinstalling drivers of a lot of stuff, including OSes, still freezing

Stress testing the CPU and the GPU, system stable after that first 5 minute freeze/crash of stress test (meaning that it's perfectly stable after the first crash)

I can also point out that it is not an overheating, nor an overclocking problem. I also don't have a spare PSU or a motherboard to test my system with. I'm looking for more tests or ideas so I can finally troubleshoot this problem.

The computer specs are

i7 980X, Intel DX58SO mobo, 24gb Munshkin RAM, GTX 970, 650W PSU, x2 SSD; x2 HDD.

I need a simple free license editor for os x.
I was thinking of using seashore, but unless i build I have to download it from sourceforge, which I've heard isn't trustworthy.
There is also gimp, but I can't use any plugins without building it, which was a nightmare last time. I think part of the problem was I tried not using a package manager for some stupid reason, but I think even using the package manager I couldn't get it to work.
And then there's krita, which apparently isn't stable yet.

Any ideas? Any other programs?

Don't buy. It's already cursed

Hello,

I need to pirate MS Word for university, anyone know where I can find a good torrent?

Any good website and resource I can learn some electronical/computer stuff?

Why don't you use LibreOffice?

strange issue, i tried googling it to no avail

when doing anything graphics intensive (i assume, its only happened with video games) my computer flips a tit.

the image will shift all over the place, constantly cut out and flicker, it will have all the pixels go as if it crashed although it hasn't.

is anyone able to help me out?

optimal hdd temperature?

I have some weird MB and if I plug into 4-pin it goes maybe 10rpm max and if into 3-pin ti goes max nonstop.

in first case temps go from 32-38C
in second case they stay around 30C
which one is better?

Haha, no it's not?

happened again this time while doing nothing in particular.

this is a really old pc i got it in 2008, i was already gonna build a new one and bought the parts but its gonna be a few days. just a temp fix is enough but its a real drag having to work with this thing as it is. only fix for when it goes cattywumpus is to restart it.

Running Mint 17.3. Am I the only person getting this after running sudo apt-get update?

So I've installed a copy of windows from the official site now what program should I download to 'crack' it?

When using youtube-dl the PC freezes for at least 30 minutes, I can't even move the mouse (or if I can, it lags horribly). top shows ffmpeg or youtube-dl using 90%+ processing power, and throughout this time the red led on the case (that's supposed to show main drive activity, isn't it?) is constantly on, no flickering.
What's the problem here and how do I solve it?

Feck.
I just need a OS that werks and gives me smooth video playback.

what are some tech approved encryption programs for both linux and windows? I don't need anything super strong just want to lock my naked catgirls up :^)

Void meets both requirements.

Generally with technology, the lower the better as the components are likely to be under less stress.

That is what you mostly get and desirve for using apt.

The absolte latest build of that TrueCrypt fork as the previous versions have a mixed bag of security issues (At least for Windows). However

Have you updated your system? Kernel version? Application versions? Distribution?

Depending on which OS version DAZ loader should work. It works best with a unupdated SP1. If you have download Windows 10, please Agent Orange yourself.

If present the SD card may have a copy of what you are looking for.

as in the truecrypt fork on linux is mostly ok? and thanks.

Arch, all latest versions.

I use encfs.

I just got an X200+dockng station off yeebay for a fair price. Have to upgrade the RAM and HDD first.

What are the steps I should take to make it secure and free?

Coreboot for one or libreboot, avoid systemd and use fsf approved distros or any distro with free only repos, "your-freedom" package and you should be set.

What's the take on Stackskills? I got a bundle of courses of theirs for free including Java and CSS and I thought it wouldn't hurt to atleast try them out to see if I could pad out a resume with some extra skills, I know I dont get any form of certification but it's still nice to know, right?

How do I completely disable ssh on my server altogether?

You should be able to remove it via the package manager. It is likely to be called OpenSSH.

What's the best way to make lossless rips of my DVDs/BDs?

How would a complete newfag to Linux(I am running mint with KDE) install the "AfterStep" window manager.

First search your repo for it. Either by the terminal or by the GUI center. Them install it, logout and there it is as an option to use when selecting your environment. If I isn't in the repo, there is mostly likely a APPA ( or however those things are spelt) for it. If there isn't then you should be able to complie it by going to the root of the archive and then just running [./configure], [make] and finally [make install].

What type of editor?

Bumping for this

You're probably converting the videos, instead of simply downloading them.
delete/modify ~/.config/youtube-dl if it exists

I tried googling and it suggested installing more gstreamer plugins and I did that but I keep getting the same error. Any ideas?

What program/s would allow me to stream to my Samsung tablet from my Mac? Just want to be able to watch some movies without copying manually, and bluetooth is shit.

I think I've understood the i2p faq correctly, and this appears to work (added the wording from the faq followed by the rules, in order, and changed my unique port number to PORT):
# Outbound UDP from the random port noted on the configuration page to arbitrary remote UDP ports, allowing replies-A OUTPUT -p udp --sport PORT -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT# Outbound TCP from random high ports to arbitrary remote TCP ports-A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 9000:31000 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT# Inbound UDP to the port noted on configuration page from arbitrary locations-A INPUT -p udp --dport PORT -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT# Inbound TCP to the port noted on configuration page from arbitrary locations-A INPUT -p tcp --dport PORT -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT# Outbound UDP on port 123, allowing replies-A OUTPUT -p udp --sport 123 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

But since I have an i2p user and all, would perhaps this be better?
iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -m owner --uid-owner i2p iptables -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT -m owner --uid-owner i2p

Is the former more secure because it doesn't allow a user free pass through the firewall as it likes? Or is the latter former because only ports used by the user will be open at any moment?

Also, I'm assuming NEW,ESTABLISHED state on all, but perhaps some should just be ESTABLISHED, like the outbound rule for tcp on the range of ports 9000-31000?

I accidentally a little. Correction:
Should be "Or is the latter more secure"
Should include RELATED as well.

Thanks for replying

no such file or directory. Forgot to mention, kernel is grsec.

I'm by no means an expert or extensively experienced with this, but I would think the latter is safer.

I want to use a plugin to pipe all my video into mpv, or another player, and have that player appear inside palemoon. I've tried mozplugger but that didn't work.

The only reason I'm requesting this is because most newer formats don't appear to want to work for some reason.

I have never been able to get mozplugger working. I just force mpv to always be on top and then just drag the links over.

What do i need to know in order to make website/webpage? I am starting business and i dont want to waste money. It need to look semiprofessional in order to attract more customers. Do i need to know how to code?

What do you mean by chinkshit, are we talking about a tablet or a laptop, what architecture? If plain old x86 I can't see what could go wrong. Installation procedure should be like any other ordinary desktop, no?

How do I use google translate (or suggest any other translation tools with a wide enough array of languages, if you know any) over tor? I get 403. Web proxies don't work either for some reason.

Am I supposed to translate anonymously, any offline tools? The freer the better.

As I've said, it's a dualboot tablet pc, the 2in1 kind that's getting popular. I think the architecture 64-bit but I've never done actual dirty work with a tablet before so I'm cautious.

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.translate&hl=en

Thanks,
but I don't have a phone and don't feel like running a sandboxed, torified emulator every time I want a quick translation of a word, not to mention I don't think google play accepts tor connections and don't think it's available on fdroid either.

I know little about building computers, and the names of the various parts that go into building computers, so I had a friend of mine help me build one. However, for several games, tiny white flickering pixels fill up the screen. I have searched up fixes but it seems as though this has only ever happened to me. My friends are baffled, and I'm baffled. I noticed that turning my refresh rate from 60 to 59 got rid of a few pixels, and that turning on vsync for some games does the same thing. What the fuck do I do?

I put red circles around the pixels in the picture

For translation of mere words, use wiktionary.org :^)

Seems to be ARM, official sites of linux distros do provide installation instructions along with their builds, I think. I know Gentoo does.
I have no experience personally (and actually was not aware of the existence of these things until you mentioned them), but I would assume the lowest level, most deviant procedure from any standard desktop installation would be the same as any phone rom replacement that doesn't involve wiping the entire thing. If you have an unlocked bootloader and it's rooted I think you should be set.

Funtoo is clearly opposed to systemd, Gentoo not necessarily. So yes.

That is what it begins with.

Say I'm running a website to store photos and images from my own home webserser, an imageboard for friends and family to use only.

Now right now the server is running entirely from a 2GB SDCard, which isn't a lot of storage.
How would I go about expanding my sites storage by putting all the images on an external hard disc?
Would it be as simple as mounting the HDD and creating a symbolic link over the image storage folder?
Can multiple hard discs have the same mount point for extra storage?

I can only imagine there's something wrong with the display. Try another monitor.

Or even just try connecting a laptop or something to the monitor and play a movie, see if the problem appears.

/usr/bin/calibre is actually a python program (thanks obama).

I have a AOC 2425W display

Just to clarify, these white pixels only show up when playing certain games, and if I alt tab to my desktop, they will show up on my desktop as well. Only by turning off the game will they disappear. They especially show up on Rust, Metal Gear Solid 5, Verdun, and sometimes Civ 5 if I click on the map to move.

can i change lubuntus look to make it more modern-looking? is there a theme for it?

Doubt it matters. It could also be the cable. I haven't heard of GPUs, PSUs, etc, making flickering white pixels on the screen. I'd check the monitor and cable first.


Guess it could be a GPU fault after all then.

whats a good replacement for ghostery?

apt-cache search
search for 'theme' and 'icon'

so i have to write

?

ya rite

I belive there is this Firefox addon called "play with mpv" or something similar.

That could possibly work.
I don't belive that would work at all. You would need to create a raid partition, move the files over and then repoint fstab to the new location. I would suggest either xfs, btrfs and ZFS or similar other regular software/hardware raid as in short bit rot isn't generally handled well if at all.

You know what? now that I think about it, I could probably just set the HDD mount point to the image folder
Thanks anyhow user. I'll try both

I'm back again. I managed to finally reformat it properly and it worked amazing for a few days after doing so. Managed to transfer all my chinese cartoons onto it. But now it's doing it again.

The thread purged my original posts so lets recap:

What the piss is going on. Does Windows 7 just blow donkey dick for external drives over 1tb?

I stopped using them in 2004 after 3 of their 100GB desktop external drives went down the shitter taking all my Holiday pictures with them.

I'm still salty about it.
Fuck seagate drives.

But i digress..

Sorry if I'm missing something really obvious, but I'm trying to add run-assoc.el as my first plugin to emacs.

I have read the wiki, and done the following:


And my init.el is as follows;

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elisp/")(require 'run-assoc)(setq associated-program-alist '(("mpv" "\\.mp3$") ("mpv" "\\.flac$") ("mpv" "\\.ogg$") ("mpv" "\\.avi$") ("mpv" "\\.mp4$") ("mpv" "\\.wmv$") ("mpv" "\\.wkv$") ("mpv" "\\.mov$") ("mpv" "\\.flv$") ("mpv" "\\.webm$") ("feh -F -Z" "\\.jpg$") ("feh -F -Z" "\\.png$") ("feh -F -Z" "\\.jpeg$") ((lambda (file) (browse-url (concat "file:///" (expand-file-name file)))) "\\.html?$")))

If I understand correctly, this should mean that when I press C-ret on files in dired, they should open with the program associated in the init.el

But when I do this, the files still open as lines of characters, rather than with mpv or feh as I've defined.

please can someone explain where I've gone wrong? Does the associated program list have to go within run-assoc instead of init.el? and if so, where in the code?

Thank you,

No clue
It wildly varies. Sometimes it takes hours, sometimes less than hour. Occasionally its like that from the start of a fresh boot.
I don't have an option to do so, what software will allow me to do this?
Yes. But at the same time this is usually what triggers it to disconnect.

I agree seagate is shit by why would an HGST be acting the same? It has to be an issue with Windows, it just fucking has to be.

Likely the GPU is faulty. Return it under warranty.

These are external USB drives, right? It's possible (and quite common, esp. with 3.5" drives) that they pull more power from the USB port than your computer can provide, and get wonky due to resulting voltage drops.

What port are you connecting it to? Is it USB 2 or 3? If it's a laptop, does it get better if you run it with the charger connected? Did you try running it through a powered hub?

I have Windows 7 64-bit home premium. I'm on a UEFI motherboard so DAZ loader doesn't work for activating it. The key that came with my Windows is for upgrading and not a clean install so I can't use it anymore since I got a new hard drive.
I tried to use Microsoft Toolkit but it says: "" or " The Software Licensing Service reported that the license is not installed." Also, when I click on "Activate" it just gets suck on Processing.
What are my options now?

Bumping for this again

What is a safe overclock for a GTX 660? Also what happens if I underclock my gpu by -500 mhz?

Update to this:

using
'M-x run-associated-program'

will open the files with the associated programs I specified in the init.el, so that part must be set up correctly.

However, the C-return binding to run this does not work. It should because the following lines are in my run-assoc.el file:

(eval-after-load "dired" '(progn (define-key dired-mode-map [C-return] 'dired-run-associated-program) (define-key dired-mode-map [menu-bar immediate dired-run-associated-program] '("Open Associated Application" . dired-run-associated-program))))

Can someone please explain why this won't work as intended?

Another update. I've noticed the C-return keybind works as intended, but only in regular emacs, not in the terminal (emacs -nw).

Why is this? How do I get around it? I know files can be opened with external programs whilst in the terminal, because the command 'M-x run-associated-program' works - but the C-return keybind doesn't.

The web archive should hopefully have order versions of the sticky available.

I want SICP in the info format and there is a download here:

The problem is that I cannot unzip it, gzip complains that the archive is not a gzip file. Can someone else please try unzipping it for me and uploading it here?

Scratch that, Neil van Dyke is a faggot. I just had to remove the .gz part from the file name, apparently neither of the downloads is compressed at all.

You probably restored old video drivers, install the newest ones from the net.

What GPU do you have?

I need to edit a considerable amount of text files from a bash script. In particular, I need to copy the entire first line of file 2 and 3 at the end of the first line of file 1, and so on for a few more lines, then move to files 4 5 and 6, and so on. Doing this manually would be a major pain in the ass since the entire process involves about 200 files. How do I do this from a script?

Is there any point of using noscript when umatrix exists?

no

You shouldn't trust the client to input correctly formatted strings anyways, and should validate it server side.

no

I wish people would ctrl+f more on here.

my guess would be, you didn't install any drivers at all and are using the default drivers included in windows.

go to guru3d website and find the drivers released 1 year after your GPU came out. That is usually the best balance. If your drivers are too new they can get problems and lower performance, since they don't test older cards with newer drivers.

It's an assignment. Validation apparently has to be done client side. I just found out it works on Google Botnet, which is what they use to validate, so it should be fine. Thanks for the help.

The generation of the thread`s index some how stopped. You can restart it manually by using a public global admin account, the logn details are likely in a sudo thread or the other dead management board. It is also a somewhat common bug some days.

I never thought of it being a power issue. You just might be right. I only have a 520w PSU that supports a Phenom II X4 and a Radeon HD 7770. But the seagate uses and external AC adapter so it shouldn't be drawing power from my PC, right? They both use the only USB3 ports I got.

Speccy shows both drives as 0B drives.

Or you could also make a post as a regular user to do the same, mabye.

Oh cool someone posted this elsewhere, makes complete sense now


did... did you just sage a sticky?

Yes I did and I am not the only one.
I was wondering if anyone cared/bothered anymore.

Go into the BIOS and enable legacy mode. Then reinstall Windows in BIOS mode and use DAZ. If your motherboard is a OEM one it should have the legacy toggle some where in the BIOS.

There is literally no point in saging a sticky other than making yourself look dumb

I just installed Arch and am trying to connect to my wifi just via wpa_supplicant.

I tried to connect vie iw with no encryption first and that worked.
I made the config /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf like this

this is the command I'm running
wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211,wext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlp3s0
and this is the output

I don't know if this matters or not (because I successfully connected with no encryption, so the driver should be working fine), but here it is

I am expierencing near constant audio stuttering in Windows. I have a ASUS Xonar DGX PCI-E card. I have disabled all other audio devices through Windows and disabled the onboard audio through BIOS. The stuttering is still present, especially in games.

The last thing I can think of that is causing the intermittent stuttering is the fact that I have a mobo still using PCI-E 2, and the Xonar DGX is sharing the bus with an R9 380, a card designed for PCI-E 3. Has anyone expierenced something similar? Honestly it's fucking infuriating to not be able to make it through listening to a single song without BRRRRRRRRRRRRRT in the middle of a drum hit.

pic related is not mine

c++ fag here. I'm asked this question, where input is 11 35 28 -1 (and variables are appropriately assigned, etc).

How is the output not infinite? I know I'm clearly missing something here. I thought cin just took the first integer, 11, and abandoned the rest unless there were more variables to store 35, 28 and -1 in? So I would assumed it would just infinitely loop 11, since it will never equal -1..

Does it move down the list after each loop?

The answer seems to be the sum of them all, coming out to -73, but I don't understand how.

I have narrowed this down to PCIE latency issues. This program tracks audio latency, each time it goes into the red it's a stutter. I have searched everywhere, but apparently PCI-E devices don't have adjustable latency like PCI devices do. Everywhere I search for "change pcie latency" either yields sales websites or pajeet-tier "please update drivers thanks" answers.

Do what it says. Try isolating devices. Your mouse may be a culprit.

I think I've got it. Each time cin>>num, it updates with the number down the line, ending up with -1, for a total of 73..

What technologies should I use to handle the drawing part of pic related, I plan on running python/bottle on the server just to save/retrieve configs, but not sure what I should use for turning the various variables into an image of a bike+rider. I'm currently looking at d3js.org/, but if there is something that is a better fit for purpose I would like to know.

My computer started to fail randomly a few days ago, and I do mean randomly:
- programs crash and the system freezes shortly afterwards
- sudden kernel panics
- checksum errors in LILO
- or just a black screen on startup together with suspiciously low fan noise (not even a POST beep)
It's an at least seven years old prebuilt and I have next to no idea about hardware, any idea what could be broken? I can hunt down the list of hardware in it, but that might take a while.


The passphrase usually needs to be run through wpa_passphrase first. I recommend you to use wpa_gui because configuring wifi through other means is really painful.

Forgot to mention: If it manages to boot properly and everything works fine in the first 15 minutes, it will work fine for the next 15 hours as well. Just getting it to boot is a pain in the ass.

what components do I need when I have to scan thousands of pics for duplicates? best ram, cpu, ssd? anything else

also would it run down an ssd (I guess that would be one component)?

Is there a way I can completely disable wifi country specific regulation in linux? I know you can set country code to Japan for channel 13, or Bolivia for 30dBm transmit power, but is there a way I can entirely remove all regulation whatsoever? I live out in the middle of fuck all, so no one would ever know (not that they would otherwise).

Loading from disk will be your number one bottleneck. Aside from that, 16 gigs of ram and a CPU with lots of cores wouldn't go amiss. I don't know of any programs that utilize the GPU, but if you come across one, that would probably work best. How many images do you need to process that you need special hardware?

10000+, its just my reaction and other shit folder

will that destroy ssd?

My 620 watt psu has two six pin connectors. The new GPU's have 8. Do I just get a cable with 8 to 6? Will there be any issues doing that?

My Thinkpad shuts down randomly.

It fucking went under after a fresh install of XFCE mint for testing it out the box and half way through a 30GB transfer it shut off.

To expand upon my question, this is the cable I am considering. Would this be every bit as good as if I had an 8pin in my psu?

Linux

For most Linux-based computers, you can look and change the current regulatory domain using these commands:


where CA is the two-letter country code when the device is located.

On Debian and Ubuntu, you can make this setting permanent by putting the country code in /etc/default/crda.

Finally, to see the list of channels that are available in the current config, use:

How do you download torrents if your ISP has somehow blocked them?

All my torrents are at 0 upload and download, and the peers disappear a few seconds after the program finds them.

Poke around in your torrent client's settings, see if you can enable/force encryption.

Also (again in torrent settings), try changing your port number/range, and either put your computer in the DMZ / disable firewall, or make sure those ports are forwarded/accessible.

You could also look into renting a VPN (Mullvad is nice), or a VPS or seedbox.

do you even understand what that means? it means either the partition table itself needs to be overwritten with a MBR one, or an installation image that supports installing to GPT partitioned disks needs to be used

^ Those are done from within the torrent client

^ Those are done in the computer's settings and/or the router's settings

You have 2 options:

That is a nuisance, involves some degree of risk, and does not work for drives with more than 4 primary partitions or that are larger than 2 TB.

Or:

I know how to do that much. What I'm asking is, is there a way to remove all regulatory restrictions. As far as I know, there are no country codes with both channel 13 and 30dBm transmit power. Is there a way to add a new country code with no restrictions, modify an existing country code, or some other way have your hardware outright ignore the country specific regulations?

Have you ran memtest86+? Sounds like faulty RAM.

You will be bottlenecked by random-access read performance of your storage device. The only relevant components are SSD and possibly RAM size for disk cache. Reading does not wear out flash memory, only writing does.


Looks like 32-bit versions of needed libraries, possibly also multilib gcc. Post output of:
pacman -Qs gccpacman -Qs lib32

The regional restrictions are loaded from the regulatory.db file that is part of the wireless-regdb package. You will need to rebuild that file with your own data (probably in the 00 world domain). You will also likely need to rebuild the crda package with database integrity checking turned off, otherwise it will refuse to load your modified regulatory database.

Hi I'm the board owner of /pil/
I'd like to allow embeded yt videos, but I don't know how to get it. I recall there's a weakness in vichan that means sometime the embed textbox is sometimes not displayed in the reply set.

That seems to have been the problem, thanks. At least the repairs won't be expensive.

You can enable it in the settings when you're logged in.

Strictly there are no variables called 'settings' for the board vichan, there variables called options.

Do you mean the options? I've gone carefully thru the options and not found a 'switch on embed yt' option.

I have a ViewSonic VX2452 Series monitor hooked up to the HDMI port, and I'm trying to make a dual monitor setup with my Acer x163w--setup with a VGA-to-DVI adapter--on an AMD Radeon R7 250x that I bought from Best Buy a year ago. Unfortunately, I can't get the Acer to receive a signal. I've flicked a lot of switches in the Windows screen resolution and Radeon additional settings, but the focus goes to the Acer, which doesn't respond; and I lose visibility entirely. It's plugged in and everything! It shows the logo when I turn it on, but then tells me there's no signal being sent to it. Anything I can do to make this a less-painful experience?

I assume you have the Asus model which has a DVI-D port meaning it can't carry an analog signal.

Asus model on which?

...

thanks. Its very little, thats why i didn't see it b4

He means Acer. What does the port look like?

Ok, I've switched on 'allow yt Vocaroo embedding', but wtf there's no difference. Still no embed yt url text field in the reply set.

It works I tested it:

yes. strange. now 30 mins later the embed yt field is simply there. Problem solved, but that was weird.

Anybody know any themes that work for Gtk 3.22 under Cinnamon?
I'm running Debian Stretch and the only themes that work are the default Adwaita that I don't care much for and only 2 or 3 themes on gnome-look.org that aren't very good (they look like Android). Everything else is broken.

I love horst3180's themes (Vertex, Ceti, Arc, etc) but none of them work, even the versions that supposedly work with gnome 3.22

Nevermind, Vertex works. He just didn't make a release of the gtk 3.22 compatibility. You gotta download the source

I think I gave you the wrong info. The DVI port is on my card, while the Acer is VGA. But for the record, it's DVI-D Dual Link.

I was talking about your GPU when I said Asus. Who actually makes the card? Is it Asus XFX or Gigabyte?

XFX

What olde gaemz?

Try switching ports on the graphics card. If that doesn't work then you might have the wrong cable.

My friend told me that maybe the cord is broken.

here is the output of gcc. couldn't post the output of lib32 since it was too long

I need to setup a dlink dap 1360 as a wifi extender. Anyone know how?

My current net access is so bad it has taken almost an hour to get to this page and post this, so videos on the dlink website are not a reasonable option for me.

What OS/distro should I install on a computer that is over 10 years old?

Does anyone have the Google Swiffy tool that converts flash files into html5? The fuckers discountinued it in July for no real reason, and I need a way to view my massive stash of SWFs. I'm obviously not going to install flash, and I've deleted the flash dlls that come with windows for internet explorer and such, so shit like irfanview won't work. Also open to other suggestions, but conversion seems like the best bet.

I've just downloaded a portable version of chrome to make use of its pepper flash and maximally firewalled it, which works alright for the moment.

pick one


Just as I thought. You need to replace gcc with gcc-multilib to be able to compile 32-bit programs.


Windows 95

You know there is a difference between 10 years and 20 years.

I have Windows 7 partition that had its temp folder, pagefile and most programs in D: and E: which were on HDD that broke. I managed to make it usable again (changing temp back to C, etc.) but now i have weird problem.

If i try to launch program in K: which is SSD, program fails to start and i get Error: path not found K:\SomeFolder\program.exe. Using explorer works and i can move files to/from K drive. If i copy paste program folder to C: I can launch the exe.

What might be the reason? I already tried changing ownership/permissions and disabling DEP temporarily with no success.

Hasn't there been any fix to everychan? The captcha doesn't show for weeks now.

What are the best nonbotnet programs for self-organizing, strcturing work, keping track of progress etc.?

I need to augment my self-discipline and organization. Any crutch welcome.

There's one called ThinkingRock, it's the best GTD implementation I've seen, but a been clunky. I'm trying to re-write it in a more modern language with better support for running on different platforms and syncing through cloud storage.

There's also Tracks which is like a self-hosted web app. Pretty good, but I decided not to use because it doesn't support GTD fully.

Lubuntu

You know it takes ≈10 years from release of a Windows version for PCs fast enough for it to appear?

Godspeed you! Autist Emperor thanks,

I hope I'll find your creation somewhere in the future

Can someone explain to me what this index of page I sometimes come across when downloading a file from a server is supposed to be?

If you want extremely light, and you've time to spare, you might be interested in Arch.
Your desktop could easily come in under the 256MB mark.

On the other hand, if you're lazy and have at least 1GB of RAM, you could run (L|X)ubuntu or
Mint on there no problem. Hell, you could probably get full-blown Unity running (relatively) smoothly.

What's Holla Forums's recommended domain name register for a personal website? Any to avoid?

I'm having some serious trouble with the libre AMDGPU driver and some 3D games. Basically, after a random delay of starting the game, the application freezes, and so does the entire X server (I can move the pointer for a while, but if I try to do anything it freezes as well). The only solution after this point is to REISUB the machine, and it is getting extremely frustrating.

Problem is, I would like to report the bug, but I don't know what the fuck is failing. I suspect it's the GPU's drivers, which is reinforced by the fact that whenever the crash happens the card starts to get hot as fuck and the fans slowly speed up to max speed, but I can't know for sure since neither syslog nor the Xorg log have any relevant information about the crash previous to the magic SysRq lines, just regular cron and systemd stuff minutes before the time of the crash. I don't even know where to go and what to post without looking like an utter retard for not being able to give any relevant information about the crash, so that's why I am asking here how to approach the problem.

Do you know where could I post this? Also, what should I post, given both the syslog and the Xorg log are useless in this case?

Some extra info:
>Using AMD R9 380X 2GB

I'm fixing up an old computer (Inspirion 531) and whenever I install a gpu it takes forever just to boot to the bios, but when using the integrated gpu it boots just fine. I've used several graphics cards and each one has the same problem.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and trying to install thttpd, while following the directions in the install file (pastebin.com/GYEy6xBc) when I do sudo make install it gives me these errors:

cp makeweb /usr/local/sbin/makeweb

No idea why it's doing this and thttpd so not a lot of documentation on solving these errors, any help?

I found this internal Blu-ray drive in a laptop. I want to find an adapter to make it fit one of these SATA to USB things but the power socket is only 8 pins instead of the usual 15 pins. Can someone help me find an adapter or something?

What the fuck is the proper term for a modem with WiFi capabilities?

trying to run something in wine but it completely lags my entire system on one computer. on the other computer it runs just fine so clearly I'm missing something. how can I query what drivers I have installed on wine so I can get the same shit on this computer

Either a wireless modem or Modem/Router. Take your pick, they are they same thing.

Have you tried quering your repo for anything wine related?

Are there any good android keyboards with gesture typing that aren't keyloggers?

how?

All AMD motherboards with an AM3+ socket seem to not have PCIe 3.0, so how much of a performance hit will I take if I put a PCIe 3.0 GPU on an AMD PCIe 2.0 x16 slot?

It says it right here.
On Debian based distros the group www-data is used, so either change this in the makefile or just create the www group.

What is a good wifi-manager for Linux (running arch). In my usual setup I connect to one of three networks: my phone's hotspot, my home network, and my university's eduroam. The first two are password-only WPA2, and the last one uses a username/password combo, (802.1x EAP)

Yesterday I made a simple change to the settings of my home network (changed the pass in a config file) and everything came tumbling down. It wouldn't connect anymore. So I used some commands suggested on the Arch forums and some other forums, mostly involving setting the network 'UP' or 'DOWN', enabling or disabling dhcpcd, using netctl, et cetera. I'm now at the position where I fucked it up beyond all repair, as I can't connect to anything (except possibly my home network, I'm not at home atm). I've tried using wifi-menu, but it gives an error being unable to connect to the device. I tried some other wifi-guis but they can't seem to find it either.

Is there anything that can just manage the entire dhcp/netctl/etc. thing for me? I usually prefer to do it myself and not abstract everything away, but I'm fucking done with it and want it to just werk.

That's because AM3+ is ancient and was designed before PCIe 3 was a thing. Anybody buying a new AM3+ system today is a massive retard or got it on sale ridiculously cheap.

None. A 16x PCIe 2 (or a 8x PCIe 3) interface has more than enough bandwidth for modern GPUs. You might experience a slight performance hit with a 16x PCIe 1 / 8x PCIe 2 / 4x PCIe 3 interface, but it won't be that much either.

For the specific command(s), check the --help of your repo, there should be flags to search the remote master repo(s).

I assume you have tried network-manager as one of the wifi-gui`s?

I know hand-managing that stuff is fun, but it's brittle and unreasonably laborious, especially if you change networks often which you do if you roam with your mobile device to hotspots&shit.
That's what you're supposed to do and what all the normie distros are doing by default. The standard choice is the bloated monstrosity that is NetworkManager. All the DEs have nice native GUIs to configure and integrate with it, and it werks, though it's a bitch to configure from the command line. There is also the lean&mean Connman, which is my preferred choice. Install cmst from AUR if you want a GUI for that.

Are you sure the game is not using Vulkan? I get complete system freeze (not even ctrl-alt-f1 works) after minute or two with Dota 2 or dolphin's vulkan renderer. This is using AMDGPU and RADV vulkan driver. R9 285.

It's probably because I'm normal mode it is not sending enough power to the GPU and it is slower because of that

No. Just change keyboards when typing passwords

Thx for the suggestion, I'll try some stuff later this day when I'm home and have an ethernet connection

There seem to be a lot of GUIs for network-manager, none seem to work well for me.
I've also tried connman, but I can't seem to get anything to work.

Whenever I try to connect I get something like this: "Could not read interface p2p-dev-wlo1 flags: No such device" even tho `ip a` lists the device as being `UP` though `NO-CARRIER` as well. After that I get a lot of errors like can't set up, failed to initialize driver interface, etc.

Worst thing is, I used to run Gnome. Everything was fine, including wi-fi. Then I switched to i3 and it got a little harder. Trying to connect after I changed my phone-hotspot was a fucking pain, until I came around some weird command that I copied having almost given up, and it worked.
Now same shit happens with my home network, but I feel like everything I do makes it worse. I've even had to restart a few time because I lost my ethernet connection after fucking around with dhcpcd etc. too much. I've never had any issues with ethernet.

I feel like I totally fucked up the system now, and I have no idea where to start. The programs that I see listed everywhere as being able to fix this don't seem to work, and I can't connect to anything except ethernet. I've read the relevant wiki articles, I have no idea where to go from here. I can just keep trying different programs until shit works, but I feel like I'm fucking it up more and more.

Btw, cmst gives me: "Connman returned the following errpr: connect-failed"

i'm having some trouble setting up a wired connection to my computer, this is on win7

i have some tp-link Ethernet-over-power doodads which i have paired, one is plugged into the back of the router and one is plugged into my computer. all lights on these machines are on indicating all systems go. the wire going into the back of the router AND the other wire going into the back of my computer (via the tp-link bridge) both have orange lights on. however, my 'local area connection' adapter, which identifies itself as Kaspersky Security Data Escort Adapter, shows a 'network cable unplugged' error; im not sure why this is considering all lights are on at every stage and the wire is plugged in. my usb wireless adapter works fine

can anyone help me with iths?

I decided to jump the windows 7 ship and move to linux. I know gentoo is the best choice because you tailor everything for you specific system but I feel like it'll be too much to take in. Should I stick with ubuntu and ease myself in or dive right in with gentoo?

Im lost as all hell, having to look online for simple shit as how to get dependencies or find something you installed. Is there a good guide for a lifetime windows fag to walk me through everything? Also is there a similar site like nanami-tan.info for linux?

Use some arch derivative with some preconfigured things (codecs etc.) like Manjaro or Antergos. They are somewhat up to date.

Hey guys I want a 100% free system and I'm getting a T60 in the mail to libreboot. My question is does FreeBSD work with libreboot? I heard it loads nonfree firmware blobs if hardware is detected but would libreboot keep these things from loading? Worst case scenario could I get away with LibertyBSD?

Try again after restarting the system?

I am looking for a full on in depth tutorial on hosting a TOR site on a Ubuntu or Debian. I want it to be secure as possible.

Most of the tutorials I am finding are old and outdated, or for a system I don't care to use.

I can't use my next Cloud Server through my web browser anymore and I found that is because it's directory on my web server is empty. My mobile and desktop clients are still syncing with it, however. Should I be worried? Is this what I get for using Ubuntu server with Apache unconfigured?
I'm the only one using it. I'm mostly using it for caldav and instantly backing up pictures I take with my phone; also I was about to use it to sync notes with QOwnNotes.

When reinstalling windows 7, should I install any updates? Or are all the updates fine to get aside from the telemetry ones?

Portable malware scanner vs an "online scanner?" Which is best for a computer that might already be infected with malware? I'm not looking to actually install anything. Any brand recommendations?

Nice, it now works with my home network. I'll get back to this thread later when I'm at uni and need to set that one up. Thanks!

Now also works with phone hotspot, just eduroam left.

I must say I really like connman, thanks again!

Dual core processor with 2.4 ghz or quad core with 1.8 ghz? Both are 4 GB of RAM DDR3.

All I do is shitpost, stream hour long videos and blog.

Hi there. Just a quick question. What have I done wrong here?

curl 8ch.net/[REDACTED] | grep -E .{jpg,gif,png,webm,mp4} | curl - -O #1.{jpg,gif,png,webm,mp4}

I want to download all the files from a thread into my current working directory and I get this error:

curl: (23) Failed writing body (863 != 1460)

When attempting to separately download the html file for the thread, I get this error:

grep: .gif: No such file or directorygrep: .png: No such file or directorygrep: .webm: No such file or directorygrep: .mp4: No such file or directory

Meaning my grep command is also invalid. What the fuck have I done wrong???

You're welcome, dutchfag.

In general, you need to single-quote regexps on the cmdline to prevent them from being fucked with by the shell. In your case,
.{jpg,gif,png,webm,mp4} is undergoing brace expansion to: .jpg .gif .png .webm .mp4
Grep then takes the first one (.jpg) as the pattern, and the rest as input files to sift through.

Thanks to IRC friends, This is now my command, still not working correctly

curl 8ch.net/d/res/15446.html | grep -hoE '.+\.(jpg|gif|png|webm|mp4)' | sed 's/"\(.\+\)"/\1/' | sort | xargs wget -c -p

It still fucks up.

Anyone looking at that link, it's nsfw btw. Meant to strip it. Haha

And IRC Friend linked me this script, and it does the same thing as my pipe...

github.com/eduardschaeli/wget-image-scraper/blob/master/scraper.sh

I expected more help from this thread but IRC once again is more active than the chan...

curl '8ch.net/tech/res/629882.html' | grep -hoE 'http[^ &]+\.(jpg|gif|png|webm|mp4)' | grep -v thumb | sort -u | xargs wget -c

This is the command. Damn it. Now I can use this in a script

#!/bin/shfor file in "$@"; docurl @"$file" | grep -hoE 'http[^ &]+\.(jpg|gif|png|webm|mp4)' | grep -v thumb | sort -u | xargs wget -c

I fixed it. So mad at myself.

#!/bin/shfor link in "$@"; do curl "$link" | grep -hoE 'http[^ &]+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|webm|mp4)' | grep -v thumb | sort -u | xargs wget -cdone
Enjoy everyone

Why do you need a bash shell for a single line command
also your thread is degenerate as hell

It's just a bunch of pipes. Putting it into a simple script then putting that into /usr/local/bin will help in the long run as I plan to use this a lot. Now all I do is `imgdown link` and it does it, all the pipes running as a command, as is the UNIX way.

Big problem is that I don't know how to make an advanced regix statement...yet.

As for the degeneracy, it was only one of many links I was using to attempt to test the damn thing and as for the specific link (that I meant to redact) it's a lot more tame than the other shit you see on that board.

Every time you "parse" html with a regex a nigger rapes a preschooler. As a warning: I do not know how to jq or why our json api is buttfuck retarded. I also haven't tested it.

#!/bin/shfor i in $@; do thread="$(curl -sf "${i%html}json")" if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "Failed getting $i" else echo $thread \ | jq '.posts | map(select(has("tim")))| . + map(.extra_files)| flatten | map(select(. != null)) | map("media.8ch.net/file_store/" + .tim + .ext) | join("\n")' -r \ | xargs -P 8 -n 1 wget fidone

How can you tell?

Anyone?

Is A+ certification enough to get you a tech support job these days?

Are new Intel processors at all worth using? The privacy concerns regarding all Intel's "security" features scare me. I want to upgrade my old i7 920, but I'm afraid that new Intel processors have built-in spyware.

Why is gimp doing this? I don't want there to be a white border between the colors. How is it that people use the paintbucket tool and fill up everything?

The white leftover pixels are not pure white (or transparent), the paint tool is not going to color over them.

I would either make a selection by color of the white space you want to fill and "grow" it by a pixel or two and then use fill.

I don't recall if the selection by color or the fill tool in gimp has a "threshold" option that let's would also let you adjust what else is selected beyond the specific color you chose.

I fixed the problem - never use the paintbrush tool when drawing, use the pencil tool instead

Your network name sounds Dutch.

Both are overkill for your stated uses.

Mostly streaming then. I want to watch porn movies without it buffering. Which is better?

That depends on your internet connection, not your computer specs.

long story short I got a chromebook for free. Currently posting from a guest account because I don't know the default profile password.

How do I completely erase Chrome OS from this thing and install a real Linux OS?
Its an Intel Celeron based Chromebook by the way

Not true.

PCIe 1.0 has a bus speed of 250MBps and 1000Mbps Ethernet is 125MBps, so one Intel NIC and a cheap unmanaged switch gives plenty of throughput for a small network, right? I'm looking to run pfSense on an older desktop with a dualcore 3GHz CPU, which at least meets pfSense's reccommendations.

I want to print a liberator, but I don't want it exploding in my face.
What type of material do I use? I heard ABS.
Plus, which model do I use?

is that a flare gun? why would it explode in your face

It's a completely plastic, fully functional, one shot, 3D printed gun.
It fires real bullets.

and why would you want it instead of buying a real gun

I installed Debian with KDE but I can't get the resolution to go higher than like 480p, despite my monitor being

1080p

Not that user, but maybe he can't afford a pistol right now, or perhaps he just wants to mess around with it.

Does anyone here know of a clean Windows 8.1 ISO?
I don't want anything installed or anything, just a completely fresh ISO.

Did you install the drivers for your GPU? What card do you have?
So, 640x480? You don't normally give a monitor resolution like that, because you can't always guess the horizontal resolution.

Hey Holla Forums, linux newfag here.
Just tried my first installation of Ubuntu, and I can't say it's working. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here. I've taken some space from my c:/ drive, used LiveUSB Install to turn my USB(3.0, 64 gigs) into a bootable hard drive with Ubuntu.iso on it. I then went to BIOS menu and changed boot order from Windows Boot to F: USB. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, can you help?

Doubleposting. At least you got dubs.

What exactly happens when you try to boot from it? Do you get an error message?

What do you recommend, Holla Forums, Veracrypt, Bitlocker, or Truecrypt?
I want to encrypt a USB partition, or just a folder if possible.

Thanks!

What a very very hard choice, not.
Truecrypt is dead and Veracrypt is the up to date fork which has fixed most of the flaws discovered in Truecrypt while having stronger security.
It is made by Mircosoft, tied to the interprise version and is closed source. Do I need to say anything else? I am suprised that was even a option.

I just need a simple version of gimp or photoshop.
Basically anything that will allow me to do shit like converting a png from true color to palette based.
Or convert a png to greyscale.
Simple drawing and text would be nice I guess...
can ffmpeg do some of this?

Also, on a completely unrelated question, if I'm using tor through the tor browser...
And I'm not supposed to download extensions, right? Or change the browser settings. What if I download shit like


usually they give it to you for free.

how do I get MP4 support on chromium?

Everytime I tried to install the Nvidia drivers it ends up either breaking KDE or the whole system.

What is the best toolkit on linux for an app? I use ubuntu.

Also another question. Why are my download speeds so slow in the command line? Apt, git, slow. Web surfing is normal. I have a usb wireless dongle, rtl8192cu chipset, that I applied a fix for. Is it kernel 4.8? I am on ubuntu 16.10.

How do I manually configure Xorg without turning it into a massive cluster fuck?

I figured out that there are some api changes and all the fixes for this chipset do not work on kernel 4.8. If anyone knows a fix for the rtl8192cu chipset for kernel 4.8, please help.

follow up on the tor related questions.
Same thing happens on 8chans onion, so I assume it happens for all videos.
Also, something really weird happened. I was watching this webm

And it started playing the video normally. After about 5 seconds, noscript blocks the video.
I've seen this mentioned before, but basically noscript blocked the element after it had loaded.

This seems like a pretty big problem. It also makes me feel as if noscript doesn't really protect you much.
On my main browser I use request policy too, and I can also use umatrix, but I've heard that noscript does something different than those two.

I might make a thread about the noscript error

I did an update in xubuntu and now it's booting into busybox. I'm guessing GRUB bugged out because of another drive with windows on it? Any way to resolve this issue so I can get Xubuntu back up?

I can't change my firewall settings to recommended. Whenever i click, it never does anything.
I use a pirated windows 7
Alternatively is there a way to enable a program through firewall without changing the settings? I don't know a damn thing about tech stuff.

Just install Linux, games work on it very well.
Have you even tried it? or verify the online bullshit about how it doesn't work?

I checked online. People get error messages instead. I followed some of the instructions too like changing startup type to automatic in base filtering engine (services.msc).
And i'm afraid Linux isn't a probability right now. I live with my family and they instantly switch back to windows because 'stop installing viruses user'. Atleast i convinced them to not install anything beyond 7.

Which adblockers are actually good?

uBlock Origin. Also uMatrix if you want to go full sperg.

You could try using TinyWall instead of the built in one. It is a fancy and easy to use wrapper for the policy stuff.

When I use mechanical keyboards sometimes a keypress registers twice or thrice. The keyboards are connected through usb and I am running linux. I have noticed this behavior with a qpad and two pokers.

What steps do I take to troubleshoot this?

well try starting with seeing if the keys simply register first, just a basic test for does it work

then get a program that registers presses and test the keys that seem to be acting up and one s you think are good to compare

Antisocial Behavior: Personality Disorders from Hostility to Homicide

So I'm trying to improve a script that I wrote to download and categorize from Nicovideo. The videos are downloaded by passing arguments to the terminal for youtube-dl to take care of. Previously, I was using os.system(whatever) to handle the download, which will only proceed to the next line once the download finishes, but just today I switched it to os.popen(whatever), so that a new process is spawned for each download and can run in the background while the script iterates through the remaining videos. I can only get a maximum download rate of like 50-100 KiB/s per video, so downloading multiple videos simultaneously greatly speeds up the process.
Indeed, things were running much faster, but very suddenly my favourite external hard drive seems to have fallen on hard times; now, very soon after mounting it, the file system goes into read-only mode.
My question is: could this be related? I wasn't regulating the number of processes that were spawned, each trying to write to the same external hard drive.
Aside from that: what do? If I try to reformat the drive, am I likely to succeed in getting some more life out of it?

I tried but I think this isn't online. Or rather, no one leaked the Kindle edition. Sorry.

Currently trying to pick out a Loonix Distro for my laptop, because the shittop came preinstalled with a 32bit version of Windows 8 with no repair disk in sight. The thing is that I as-of-now have a few years of working in/around Linux, and much rather prefer the .rpm type stuff over .deb, though this might limit the range of programs usable (ex. my current tower is using Mageia Stable, and programs like MilkyTracker, RetroArch, and Qtractor are all either unavailable or highly outdated)
Or should I just stop asking questions and install Ubuntu?

I would recommend a rolling release distribution (specifically Void), however I am biased. By using a rolling release you don't have to wait six months for a update like most of them. Also Void has the latest kernel set as it's default one.

I'm not particularly worried about having the latest and greatest kernel updates, but rather more of the fact of when most of the programs I'd be running (mostly Audio/Visual stuff and some Emulators) aren't even available from the distros repositories. Even then I'm not extremely desperate for programs, as my only priority is shit like RetroArch and Ardour (which I could also just purchase if wanted).

The repo has the latest version of Retroarch and version 4.7 of Ardour.

Ubuntu Studio is frankly pretty decent. It has a good setup of XFCE and new ardour. I use it as a daily driver for over a year and can recommend, even though I hate systemD and some other shit.

Recommendation: GVFS (GVFSD) is garbage, makes linux act like Windows with constant suspicious disk activity 24/7/365 for no benefit. Just remove execute bit from all gvfs shit and make immutable. It's in /usr/lib/gvfs

You'll get errors all the time for various things (not visible errors but logged to terminal but it literally effects nothing that matters. Your system ill be idle when idle and not crunching god knows what like windows does

Thanks anyway.

I keep getting this error trying to copy any big file to this new micro SD card on my computer.

It leaves a leftover file that I can only delete on my other computer (I haven't tried copying big files from that one, but I copied a song from that one to the SD card and it worked fine). I tried formatting and scanning for problems.

What should I do?

How do you guys do your Ethernet jacks? After I wire new CAT6, should I use a dedicated switch or is there no need? I already use Modem + Router, I don't want to have 15 dedicated pieces of hardware for my network in my house.

The idea is that I run phone lines through the same CAT cable also since they support that apparently. My phone box is really messy since I bought the house and I've been trying to avoid re-wiring the whole thing.

Also update: I tried copying a file from my other computer and it worked fine. Did the same thing from this one and it got the error. So it looks like it's a computer problem. What do I do?

How do you re-enable the desktop login sound in recent Ubuntu versions? The audio file still exists (/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg) but it's unused.

I started building my computer today and everything was going smoothly until i went to do my outside-the-case test boot. The CPU Fan powers on, as does the LED on the motherboard; but my R7 370's fans won't spin, which tells me it's not getting any power. Any tips? I'm PRETTY sure I got everything plugged in where it goes….

I've tried reseating it on both PCIEX16 slots as well as trying all the PCI-E plugs on the PSU.

MSI 370s don't spin up their fans if they're below like 50c

but i still can't get anything to display on the screen. I've tried HDMI and VGA both, on both screens

what the fuck is going on

Opinions on Ace stream?

You are trying to run a program compiled for an older version of libvpx with a newer version of libvpx. They made a change that broke the ABI and bumped the ABI version number. You likely have a libvpx.so.4 file installed in /usr/lib.

The right thing to do is to recompile the program you're trying to run with the currently installed version of the library.

**The fast, easy and wrong way is to symlink the .so:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libvpx.so.4 /usr/lib/libvpx.so.3**
You're not supposed to do this, but fug. Usually werks.

Can someone link me to a in-depth tutorial on hosting a TOR website securely? I need to use PHP and Mysqli or some other database manager but I literally cannot find a single tutorial that meets my standards.

Now for the hardest part though. Using connmanctl I can connect to everything except eduroam. (I can even connect to the uni's guest network).
However, when connecting to eduroam I get: Error /net/connman/service/wifi_303a6454b3f2_656475726f616d_managed_ieee8021x: Invalid arguments

I googled this and it seems like I need to make a config file, where I refer to some certificate, but I don't think I ever needed that (and my uni is not on the list of cat.eduroam.org/). I have no clue what to do from here.

I need a good videocard for about $500. What is out there that won't burn my house down?

Russian botnet, At least they released the source code, as it is just vlc with a p2p protocol built in. I would compile it myself if I would use it, but I usually find a hidden sports stream on jewtube.

You can try asking the student facing part of your uni`s IT department.

There was/is this install and forget project. But it seems like it would be way way overkill.

I need to extract few thousand strings from a file. Each entry begins with @ABC and number sequence after that, the text begins at next line. It stops at @BDF (on it's own line). Files are in CP1254 and SJIS encoding.

Hey guys, i'm on windows 10 but i really don't want to be part of the botnet. does anyone know if installing windows 8 from a disc will delete my files or not.

Yes but use DBAN if you want to be sure.

for some reason I have multiple shortcuts of "my documents", they all have the same directory and go to the same spot. I don't know why they appeared.

How can I get rid of them, they're annoying the fuck out of me

inb4 wangblows

If none of the strings contain an @ this is as simple as

[code]iconv -f SJIS -t UTF-8 test.txt | pcregrep -M -o1 [email protected]/* */*\n([^@]*)'[\code]

Thanks, this works but only if i don't pipe iconv directly, it needs redirection to file or pcregrep doesn't find anything.

or well almost works. it also grabs @ABC lines

Well I had the solution all along then. Thanks for the tip.

Also it seemed to only work with CP1254 files (start/end tags in source language which are en/jp/cn)and didn't find results in SJIS. Found this elsewhere which worked.

I want to install my /boot directory on a USB drive and encrypt my main HDD so I need my USB drive to boot up my encrypted hard drive, but I'm kinda stuck with partitioning my USB drive to hold /boot. In the partitioner (I'm installing Debian 8.6), the closest thing I've found is having a partitions mount point be /boot, but I don't think that's it.

Anyone familiar with Debian able to help me?

If after you do this /boot doesn't turn out to hold grub and such, something is seriously wrong here.

Installing GRUB comes later, after partitioning, i just want to know how to create a partition and install /boot to that specific partition.

It is as simple as setting the mount point of /boot to a partition. So your first assumption is correct.

You might also take a look at jq if you want to process JSON data in shell scripts.

The same way as for every other completely conventional keyboard key. You just need to fire up xev to find out the keysym names.

How secure is Windows 10 from snooping if you're already using Tor browser? Convince me Linux is worth the jump especially if you're into file sharing.

Haha... NO

Do whatever you want

If you're doing torrents you completely screw up any anonymity provided by Tor BB. But that hardly matters, since Windows is about as unsecure as it gets. If you want better security, privacy, and anonymity, you need to be using linux and learning how to use it securely. Linux is more secure by default than Windows, but it won't save you if you're largely clueless about security.

What the fuck do you mean by "mounted"? Audio-CDs don't contain any filesystem, just bare PCM audio data. You can rip it using cdparanoia.

By "mounted" I mean, when the disk is put in the optical drive and it shows up on the file manager, clicking on it doesn't bring up a error saying that the device isn't found.

Question guys

Windows on my Mac (with Bootcamp) runs REALLY hot.

It can get to nearly 100 C before the fans (very quietly) kick in.

Does anyone else have this issue? I installed a manual fan control program, but it has quite a few flaws.

If that is yours
Why in the hell do such a thing when Windows 7 is the last good version, way easier to use, is designed properly and is easy to customise?
To answer your question, how old is the mac and have you tried cleaning the fan? Also raising it off of the ground may help as the exaust vents may be blocked.

What file manager? What DE?

It's not mine, but I am using Windows 10
I don't care about those things, I just want Windows for games
That's not the problem - the fan is fine under OS X. It kicks in around 65 C, and doesn't let it get above around 85 C.

The problem is Windows on the Mac. Lots of people online say Apple's drivers for Windows are terrible and that's why it runs too hot under Windows.

Hello people from Holla Forums and sticky bros. I hope I'm not breaking any rule and someone can help me out.

I'm kind of in a hassle right now. While messing around with vidya, I found out I might not have had the proper drivers for my radeon card (pc was bought, not built, years ago). So I downloaded whatever tool amd has to autodetect the drivers you should have and then install them. It kind of worked until I restarted. Now the so called "catalyst control center" which should show up right-clicking anywhere on the Desktop, doesn't load at all. It simply doesn't bring up any window or process at all.

I ran the autodetect tool again and it says everything is up to date. Then, and I know I am stupid, I remembered I haven't installed any windows (win 7) updates since earlier this year when the w10 auto update craze started. So I figured I should fix that before moving on with the card issue.

What update, if any at this point, should I not install so I don't get a sudden Windows 10 installation? Or is it safe to just install everything?

Look for "AMD Radeon Settings" If you can't see it then click "screen resolution" then "advanced settings" then "properties" and then "driver" and you should see the version and the install date of your driver

Hey Holla Forums, how do I make Google Earth look more native on Linux Mint?

It currently looks like pic related.

I was asking in general. That said, it would be nice if it could work with Nemo/Caja on Cinnamon/Mate on Void. Personally cdparanoia will work just fine, however my dad would prefer if it mounted in the file manager, it is the only thing really stopping me from switching his distribution over.

That is the same use case as me. I would still suggest Windows 7 as it is stable as a rock, there are plenty of community fixing support of older games for it that may not work with 8.x let alone 10. Also most Windows 10 exclusive games are only delivered via the Store (which is shit).
I guess using PCIE passthrough is out of the question?

Theming options should be able to do what you ask.

What browser should I be using?
Used Pale Moon when recommended eons ago, but now a few websites won't work properly (xvideos). I toggled off all my add-ons and still had issues.

How to get usb audio DAC to work in Debian? Using non-free 8.5 Jessie and trying to use Fiio X3. It shows up dmesg as a DAC..

As I said, you can't "mount" an Audio-CD, because it does not contain a filesystem. At best you can have a file manager specifically support displaying the contents of the CD and running actions on it. Obviously, this would be FM-specific (or at least VFS-specific), and the contents ain't real files.

Sorry, I don't have experience with GNOME-derived DEs. Maybe another user will suggest a native solution to you.

I've got a job offer involving 'finding information on individuals involved in some form of litigation', where use of 'Open Source Intelligence' gathering tools is helpful.

You might have to add another number, that depends on your device. The system information in alsamixer shows the cards and their numbers of your device. If you run your sound with pulseaudio, just change the output device with pavucontrol.

Look I know that the correct answer is "don't be a retard" but let's say someone was a retard on my behalf and now I've got a bunch of duplicitous-looking shit in a folder on my desktop. What's the best method to scan said folder to make sure I didn't just get a metric fuckton of AIDS slapped into my lap? Basically what's a good way to scan for viruses and other shit?

Most antiviruses have a user-customized scheduled scan option, which you can run on multiple different folders. MBAM, for example.

Try reinstalling the drivers, if that doesn't work try detaching your video card if you're not using integrated graphics and clean it, maybe that old computer of yours has a shitton of dust inside.

i have four questions
1. as you can tell from this image, while playing xcom2 my computer gets very hot, but ive been running it at these tempratures for hours and have seen no problems yet. im also fairly certain the barebones kit i got came with an aftermarket cooler that was designed with overclocking in mind. should i still be concerned about these ridiculously high temperatures?

2. (see red box in pic) what memory is this exactly? im pretty sure its VRAM but since it just says "memory" im not certian. how would i go about checking this?

3.(see blue box in pic) why are my pagefiles being used before the ram? shitty optimization? is there anything i can do to force the game to use the RAM??

4. is the maximum amount of pagefiles tied to the amount of ram you have or something? becuase i have the maximum pagefile allocated set to like 20 gigs, but ive never seen it go over ten.

1. A temp above 75 is cause for concern. Install the latest version of afterburner and/or use a different program to read temps (i.e. GPU temp) in case its misreporting values.

2. It's VRAM, as you can see by the '3072' next to it. If your GPU has 3GB VRAM, that's it.

3. It's unusual that your game is using more than 3GB of VRAM. I can't remember if this was the case when I did Skyrim modding, but I believe your excess memory usage is being transferred into pagefile usage. With Skyrim, pagefile usage increased because it 'reflects' the RAM usage, but your RAM usage remains low which is different.

4. I think the 8192 is a default set by MSI Afterburner. I have 16GB RAM and get the same thing. Right click > Properties > Change 'Maximum Limit'.

Hey thanks for the response. I don't seem to have an asound.conf file in my /etc/ folder within my file system though. Not that I could find. I used cd /etc/ and that got me to that folder (I also manually found it), but nothing was there. Maybe it's because I'm using xfce?

I then went to the properties of alsa and it seems the closest thing I could find to a location was the xfce-mixer file in usr/bin/

Please understand that I am unbelievably retarded.

Looking for two programs:

A note taking desktop app for l00nix that allows a seperate note for each thing, like real digitized post it notes that I can freely litter my desktop with

A good timer app to use as a pomodoro clock.

This leads me to another question, is there a software center similar to ubuntu for debian/ all of linux? Like a software index or catalog so I don't have to use some retards blog post to determine what I want to use?

I have some issues with a HDD and I don't know what to do about it.

It disconnects from the comp, I hear the disconnect system sound in my headphones, after a while and I have to restart the comp to get access to it again. When I try to install games on it steam just says error writing to disk. Once when I re-started it it ran CHKdisk it ran though it quickly the first part then for the second part it ran quickly until the last 23% I don't remember if it repaired anything but the problems are still there.

I downloaded a virus a couple of weeks ago through a torrent, when I started the installer it installed a lot of weird programs. Malware-bytes removed most of them and I've just run Spybot and that only found some browser cookies. Tried to run Hijack This but it's a bit over my level and I don't know which of these I can remove. Pic related.

I'm not sure if I should re-install windows or if there is some kind physical damage to it so I have to replace it entirely?

Is there a good alternative to word that doesn't suck. Libreoffice isn't displaying documents properly

I put the log in a pastebin instead

Thanks, love.

1. i want to see the cpu temp anyway, if imnot mistaken speccy gives the temp of just about everything. ill try that one, unless you know of a better program

3. thats proabably whats happening, i just find it strange that the VRAM doesnt dump to regular RAM before going to the pagefiles

4. Ah, i didnt know afterburner would change the pagefile values, ive been doing it through windows stuff. afterburner must be changing it behind my back or something.

thanks for the help, friend.

A friend of mine got a used HP probook 4525s but upon starting it the display's not turning on.
After swapping the display with a working one (from his old hp probook 4520s) it didn't change anything.
So we connected an external display via VGA and "1.jpg" appeared.

When inserting a bootable win7 installation CD "2.jpg" flashes up but quickly vanishes.
Is there a way to get this thing to work or is it royally fucked? What should I try next?

Looks like a fucked GPU. Not really replaceable.

bumping up the pagefle allocation did significantly slow down the inevitable heat death, but didnt stop it. speccy shows congruent tempratures so its not an error with afterburner.
on another note the VRAM seems to be the bottlenck, as the temprature seems to spike when it gets topped out.

well i guess that means a watercooler system is next on the PC items list, right after more ram and a bigger case.

on another note, whats to stop companies from making VRAM cards, designed for SLI/crossfire with a real video card?

guise, I've got a noob problem. YouTube fails to load (ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED) in Chrome but loads fine in Firefox and IE. Every other site is loading fine. I had the same issue with a few other sites today, but they all resolve fine right now. Using a proxy fixes the problem, but I can't understand why this is happening. (DNS prefetching is disabled btw)

Before I flush the DNS cache, is there something else I could do to fix this?

also, firing a get request using the simple REST client gives no response

Will files over 90MB still be moved to the end of the disk with these settings on or will they prevent anything over 90MB from being affected at all? (porgram is Defraggler)

I don't give a shit tbh senpai

really? the previous notebook had a failed GPU but the effects were a lot more severe - at least this one has (semi-)readable output.

I guess we can still slaughter them and sell the parts but that's a bummer.

I have SSD for system and HDD for storage that I rarely use. HDD is set to go to sleep after 50 minutes which works for me just fine, I acces it like 2-3 times a day. The thing it it keeps spinning up for no reason. Some of the culprits were antivirus, and backup service, got already rid of antivirus, and I stop backup service, and only use it when I need it. The third thing that keeps accesing HDD is windows explorer as you can see in picture. How do I stop explorer once for all from accessing HDD in windows10?

Then create one.

R-Studio never failed me.

Not too much of a computer question, but has to do a lot with privacy and laws so I'll ask it here.

What are the legal ramifications of using a psuedoname for prepaid, virtual credit cards? I can't imagine it would be illegal since you aren't using someone else as an ID. I don't care if using a pseudoname breaches the rules of the service I'll use, but I want to make sure it's not a federal crime.

I'm not planning on buying anything illegal, I want to sync the virtual card to my phone instead of my actual credit cards in case it gets stolen or something. I don't want to link my real life identity to my phone, either, hence using a pseudoname under a virtual card.

Any and all advice would be appreciated

What gui toolkit does Ubuntu use? GTK3? What should I use?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RStudio
how do i recover formatted files with an IDE?

Wouldn't a fucked GPU be displaying a corrupted image due to bad video ram? Like scrambled pink and green and static and shit

That just looks like corrupted text, not a corrupted image so possibly the RAM either needs reseated or replaced like someone dropped it and it loosened up or someone tried reseating it and some shit got in the contacts.

Try swapping RAM sticks with another laptop or the other probook if you still have it. Make sure the contacts are good and there is nothing on them both on the stick and in the socket.

If that's not it, my other guess is going to be bad bios or gpu

What is a good Tor use Opsec?

On my normal Firefox I have uBlock Origin and uMatrix. The latter is set to block everything except images and CSS, spoofs useragent and referrers. All the domain blocklists are active as well. Unfortunately most sites break completely this way so I often have to enable scripts, although I try to do so only for the main domain and the CDN.

Does it make sense to do the same with Tor Browser? Does it require more/less caution? How can I stop all communication outside Tor?

Best way to use TBB is without a lot of extra addons. That way you blend in with all the other people using it that way. I set the security slider to high but that disables all javascripting so you can let Noscript temporarily allow scripts per site. I usually just allow the main domain and the CDN too. Hit New Identity between browsing different subjects to dump all your cookies etc.
To block all communications outside Tor the easiest solution is probably Whonix. It comes as two Linux VMs. The workstation VM where you do your browsing is hard coded to send all traffic through the Whonix gateway VM which connects to Tor. I still wouldn't enable Javascript for everything there but it makes an exploit more difficult.

hey Holla Forums should I use linux mint 18 or 17.3? I hear that they moved to systemd on 18 so I wanted some opinions I have only half an idea what I'm doing here. Also feel free to recommend any other distros, as long as they have good support for wine and playonlinux.

How does CyberGhost stand?

t. I have no idea about VPNs

if anyone is wondering, pausing windows management instrumentation service helped. I don't know if pausing this won't cause some problems tho, but so far its good an quiet

Holla Forums

Whenever I post it redirects me to sys.8ch.net

That's fine and except posts take forever to show up on sys.8ch.net and each time I post I have to manually go back.

;-;

Is there any way to fix ?

sorry if it's a newfag question, I haven't posted in a long time, just lurked

No, feel free to go tell gookmonkey over at /sudo/ that he's doing a splended job in fucking up the website with his obviously top-tier engineer experience.

I use Debian 8.5 and when I go into System Monitor it says process "Tumblered".

What is it?

I'm pretty sure that's the daemon that gives Thunar its thumbnails. Are you using XFCE?

Thanks alot faggot.

Holla Forums, is there any way I can completely, 100%, absolutely fool-proof trick the entire web into thinking that Firefox is IE? There's this site I need to get into for work that won't let you in unless you're using IE. I tried using uMatrix's useragent spoofer, but that didn't help. I installed another addon specifically for switching useragents, and that didn't help either. I tried fucking around with the useragent settings in about:config, but I'm not really sure if I was doing it right because that didn't work either.

I see macfags getting into the site with Safari and Chrome, so I know there must be some way of fooling this site. I'm just sick of needing an entire Windows VM just for the sake of one single fucking website.

My computer is turning itself off a few minutes after booting up. Everything I'm reading indicates that the issue is likely with either the PSU or with the motherboard. Is there a way to tell specifically which one it is?

Well the absolute easiest way would be to see if you've got an extra power supply laying around. You plug that nigger in and if it still doesn't work then the problem is in the motherboard.

I don't have any other PSUs available.

Did you try "random agent spoofer"?

No dice.

Thanks bro, I had to mess around with a registry key so the latest netframework or something like that would forcefully be used and now the AMD thing works.

But asking again, what updates of Win7 should I not allow to install so I can be up to date without any worries about win10 shenanigans?

How do you force chrome on linux (mint) to only use a VPN connection? I want the rest of my traffic to be normal. This will be for one chromium profile only.

So my ISP is cutting me off for pirating. Chances of me going down to jail?

Commiefornia, ISP is Cox. I'm quite spooked.

is there a FOSS worksheet generator comparable to this? kutasoftware.com/
all im really looking for is a polynomial division problem generator, but it would aslo be nice to not have to jump around to a humdred different websites just to find practice problem generators.

What did you expect from an ISP named like that?

Is Sourceforge botnet?

There's a game I want to play, and the only download I can find for the game binary is hosted on Sourceforge.net.
sourceforge.net/projects/naev/files/naev-0.6.1/

Recalling the GIMP installer adware thing that happened last year (which Slashdot, owned by the same company, covered up for a bit), I'm worried to even open the .exe.

Is this one of those deals where I should just be sure to uncheck anything resembling an "install Ask Jeeves toolbar", or should I steer clear entirely for fear of hidden bullshit?

I see there is also a tarball(?) on that Sourceforge link, but I don't think I have the developer IDE or whatever is needed to compile that.

Can't embed on here, but this is what I could be playing if you guys give the okay. I'm 200% hype:

How do I download an apk of everychan?

Search "Everychan", go to the github repo and then releases, finally downloading 1.51.
Or download embed and change the extension to .apk
However if you want to actually post I on Android I can only suggest Ourobos (or make a post via another method on the same network e.g. desktop/ mobile broswer if really want to for some reason) as it has the captach fixed while Evetchan is still at v 1.51 from 20 Jan. Why was the captach turned into a popup.

Seeing as it is a game and not a piece of productive software you should be fine. It also happened to Filezilla and some other productivwy software.

The wiki should have most of them.

There is most likely a addon on the Chrome store that does what you ask.

What would Daze do to a Anrdoid application if it isn't updated for it?

bump on these two questions please.

For the Noscript one, I think you'd need to test it with a slow connection. I was playing videos from nntpchan on the tor browser when I noticed this. Could I get a confirmation that this is happening to other people?

For the other question, how do I make sure that I never use an exit node on tor? For example, I don't want to visit an onion while loading a picture from imgur.

does 8ch allow my ip range?

I think you just answered your own question.

Is there a way to tell ffmpeg to use libvpx4 instead of libvpx1? it's giving me problems while making vp9 webms...

is using 8y old PSU for new build retarded?

My external hardrive is almost kill after 7 years and it disconnects if transfering large files.

What's a good way to get my files off it before it kill?

I'd noticed that issue with Noscript playing the first few seconds of .webms. Looks like it's known:
trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19210
Short version is the first few seconds come from the chrome: resource which is whitelisted by default, but only when you directly click on a link to a webm. Embedded webms/mp4s are blocked correctly.

On your second question, I think you're asking how you can block any referrals to outside sites while visiting 8ch's onion for example. I'm not aware of any way to do that with a standard TBB setup. I was interested in the answer too and it looks like you can manage it with uBlock Origin: github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-default-deny. Set it to deny all 3rd party.

Cloning it with dd may work. Clonezilla is a backup option but has a possibly higher chance of issues as it is more complex.

It really depends on the brand and quality, however it would be purdant to ensure that if the system dies suddenly nothing of serious value is lost.

what's a good video editor for linux you guys recommend

I sent a bitcoin transaction accidentally with a low fee. Is there any way to hook up with a miner directly to expedite my confirmations?

So, I got a windows 7 install set up, ran the Aegis script, never used it before. It's been at it for about a 3~4 hours, so far, it's on the Uninstall and remove updates section, and it's on "uninstall 3139929" for a while. Do I quit the window or just leave it be for the night?

Is it possible to rip raw audio from PS1/PS2 discs and then convert it to a common audio format (WAV, MP3, AAC, etc.), and if so, how do I go about doing it? I can't even open any of the files on the discs from my computer since they just contain raw data like binary codes in BIN files and things like that, and considering I have no knowledge of computer programming whatsoever, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

That doesn't make sense. Could you rephrase it? If you go through Tor to a clearnet site like imgur, you're using a Tor exit node. To go to a hidden Tor service at an onion address, you'd have to specifically enter an onion address or link.

I just did a software update on my Android phone. It seemed okay until I realized it didn't recognize my SD any longer.

It says it's corrupted and needs to be formated to work. I have irreplaceable things on there, and it worked great prior to the update.

What can I do?

For some reason, Overchan, Exodus, and Ouroboros aplicattions doesnt load most of the images...Most of them appear as 404.

It is something wrong with the apps? Becuase before this didnt happen... If yes, what app should I use?

Please respond.

How can...I make w3m I actually work?

Captchas don't update correctly on most sites (especially when trying to run it through torify). My Mongolian pictograph sites don't parse links to the next page. Security add-ons available in old Firefox forks aren't available. So far, it's been a broken mess and I don't know quite how to fix it.

Dashchan is the best chan app that I have used and images work on it.

my back exhaust fan died and I only have these two at home as replacement
Which one will be better?

Can anyone help me? I really need that data.

noctua


google data recovery, there are programs that can search it for remnants of filesystems and file headers. just dont write anything to it, even during recovery

even when it has 400 RPM lower than CM one?

noctua make good fans

No, that shit is in game-specific formats. Basically you would need a specialized ripping program for every game.


Can't you remove it and connect it to a PC for recovery?

I snagged HP Slimline 400 for 100 bucks from a garage sale.

It's got 4 gigs, 1tb hdd. What distro should I install on this?

Now imagine that faggot is me
What distro would you recommend than?

Debian, it's what those are all based on. Or, for something new, Slackware.

independent thought

I want to edit a webm to have a few extra images placed over the video and I want the images to follow along a specific path (basically just gonna place some pictures over 3 characters faces and have them move from right to left). Is there a basic bitch program that you would recommend to do this?

Also would it be better to edit the video in another file format and then convert to webm?

Nvm figured out how to do it in Shotcut.

Never heard of that distro.


I'm going to try out Debian.

wtf I thought Holla Forums was better than that

Is PIA actually good? The good reviews on torrentfreak look like plants "this is great service, 10/10!" and the bad reviews look realistic.

I really want to switch to Linux already for my Desktop, I'm at a point where I really feel lack of a real CLI in Windows for simple tasks like configuring the os, file management, running scripts, automating stuff and logging. I want to do as much as possible in CLI, but I want a nice GUI to be there for some tasks like image editing, web browsing, writing/editing text, spreadsheets, programming etc which I find more convenient with a GUI.

I've dabbled in Linuxes before many times but always gave up because of graphics or sound problems:


Can you please recommend me something? In the past I most liked xubuntu, but it seems to be getting shittier lately due to Ubuntu influence, and I also really liked Arch but couldn't get the DE set up right.

What distro should I use? How do I make the DE look minimal, functional and aesthetic? I need either a pre-made theme or step-by-step instructions for the last one, I suck at setting up these things.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

So i heard samsung Evos ssds are having some major problems of wearing down after usage is that true?

Yes the file names for images changed to sha256sum apparently because image duplication is a really big problem. Also anything using the API broke as well because of it.
It am using Ron's hostile fork of Overchan that fixes the image issue. However the captacha is broken and is only fixed currently in the Google play store version.It amongst other things is making me consider moving on with life. However if you want to post on Android, either use a web browser, the latest version of Ouroboros or .

Yes, however there are firmware updates released that supposedly fix the issue.

I am biased, however I would suggest Void.
I would suggest; XFCE,Mate and lxde/lxqt.

Welcome the future, please enjoy your stay.

read that those firmware updates barely fix anything, so are they any other choices that are not intel or samsung?

Dammit I meant *I am using

I have had an ADATA one in my desktop for about the last two years and it has been working perfectly, the few firmware updates didn't change much I think.

which addon should i use to download any video on palemoon?

That's not a browser addon, that's a command-line program.

How to install wangblows as primary OS from virtual box? I've got no flashdrive with enough space and CDs / DVDs either.

I'm selling this laptop on craigslist so don't get mad Holla Forums

There is this tool for Vmware that allows you to convert HDD partitions to into virtual images so it hopefully will work in reverse. However at a minium GPU drivers are likely to be missing. Also Windows is likely to recognise that the hardware changed and will prompt for a renewal of the licence. The boot loader may not work after the image has been converted, so a recovery disk may need to be created.
I would suggest using Windows 7 as it will likely be way easier to use as it is less complex.
You think that you would stop me, well you are mistaken.

Is there even a point in buying a desktop computer since the free software drivers are just going to give like 10% of the performance of proprietary drivers? When this laptop played Gary's Mod on Windows I was getting around 20fps. Now that I installed Trisquel, it gets 1fps.

Maybe I could just buy the desktop computer for playing games and then delete Steam from this laptop to keep it uninfected.

I have a dell venue pro 11 that I plan on turning into an e-reader and media player.

I would like to have the following functions of the tablet usable:
-rotating to portrait or landscape mode, no preference if manual or automatic.
-mouse wheel functionality with two fingers, ala touchpad.
-changeable brightness in a program, not hardware.

would any of this be extensible through WindowMaker? I plan to install slackware 14.2 and WindowMaker seems almost perfect for a tablet. I've used XFCE more, but with the stuff I've played on windowmaker, what I want seems doable. my end goal is to maintain typical tablet functionality but still keep the battery consumption low if possible.

You chose an autistic distribution, you reap the results. OSS drivers for recent Intel and AMD GPUs are fairly decent, they do need to load that heretical stallmanless firmware blob for good results though.

How is that related? I thought this was Holla Forums, they should make an apk available for those who care about privacy.

I'm sorry that you fully embrace the botnet.

So after only using winblows my whole life I have installed Fedora 24 and now feel completely lost.
Anyone got good suggestions on how to learn not to be a retard?

Here is a video Wendel made:
youtube.com/watch?v=n9zyomJ_GfA

I would suggest that you tweak your install until you break something because fixing problems is where you learn the most.

How is that related?
I know this this will sound stupid as hell, but I meant in a sarcastic way as this site has been closed source for a while. Also one shouldn't be suprised when Ron makes decision's on a whin (changing file names to sha256sums and making the catpcha a pop up, amoungst other things). In addition he has shown that he doesn't give a fuck about OSS by removing any metion of the forked apllication and conveintly forgetting about the github repo of both the site and Everychan.
Agreeded, there is DashChan as an alternative, or if you just want to post
I know this will be hard to belive,I only use F-Droid and have removed all anything google related admitly I am still on the stock rom though. Also personally Windows 7 only exists for games and mysteriosuly alll subsquent versions don't exist, having been lost in a totally feak accident and totally not a preditated event.

Found another problem right there. >Systemd, DNF, GNOME
The usual suggestions for most topics, search up stuff you don't really have a clue on, ask people who are likely to have a clue (so here rather than create a seperate thread). Also if you aren't shure of a command, the man page (accessed via man $command or $command -h/--help) should be of use.

Agreed learning for a purpose (i.e to fix a issue) is where the most gains can be found rather than just learning for the sake of it.

fedora is pretty winfag friendly, but if i were you id be cautious, fedora tends to break easily in my experience

Libreboot doesn't care about what OS you use, with SeaBIOS you could probably install Windows even. For FreeBSD, YMMV.

and if i understood this right i can share clearweb torrents and they can be found in i2p's btdigg (or equivalent)?

My 3DS's MicroSDHC card won't mount on my computer. It gives me the error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.Dmesg gives no helpful information, though, so I'm at a loss. It was working just fine in my 3DS earlier.

Why is f2fs called f2fs and not f3s?

I tried that one out once. It seemed rather glitchy and strange and wouldn't install properly, but I think that may have been a slightly corrupted iso. YMMV.

What is a good program for storing and viewing offline maps in Linux? OsmAnd works very nicely on Android and I especially like that you can download maps per region and that it can navigate without internet connection, but it doesn't run on desktops.
Any suggestion for alternatives or ways to get it running in Linux anyway?

Because "fs" is the canonical suffix for any filesystem, and it would be confusing to fold the "t" this way.

How does one "get into" cybersecurity and networks in general?

While I do study electronics & compsci, our curriculum is so incredibly shit and outdated that the only things related to my interests which I will have studied will be basic CCNA1/2 knowledge (already have both, but have to put up with the uni's anyway) and some vague basics of unix/linux.

Turning 21 and I already feel like I wasted my best academic years learning jack shit.

why is it not called fffs then?

windows update uses a lot of resources. "trusted installer.exe" and svchost. Among other automated processes: Disk defrag, windows superfetch, windows experience index test, windows search, windows media player networking sharing service. These are set to run a certain times, so your performance will change.

Does anyone know what "Alt Gr" and "SysRq" mean on old keyboards?

Hey Holla Forums I have an Amake brand Repeater that I want to hook up to my OOSSXX Security camera system. Basically, my garage is too far away to get a reachable signal.

I tried at first to use a stronger antenna, then wire and an antenna and found this made the signal even worse.

So I bought the repeater but how in the world do I set it up?

Do I first need to hook it up to my home internet modem to configure it, and then do I open my Security camera software and look for the camera IP address and somehow enter that into the router/repeater?

I don't have my camera system online on a cloud ID.

However the tv was displaying everything fine, I changed the cables for the 1440p but nothing. thought the monitor might be the problem so i i switched to a 1920x1080 monitor i had laying around but nothing. and yet the tv still displays everything just fine. anyone know the fuck is goin on with my shit? i got windoblows10, 1080gtx, 12gigs ram, 750wpsu.

Oh, I thought you were serious with the whole welcome to the future. Sorry about that.

yeah single monitor and still no output. Again im still wondering why it does take my hdtv though, shouldnt it completely deny all incoming output if its faulty? im using the pc right now and using the hdtv as my main monitor.

You can try and disable everything, and scan every once in a while, considering you're not lurking shady sites constantly; and even if you do, uBlock origin has some filters you can tick for malware.

Wanted something for incoming files from torrents, things to scan before I open. I cna get rid of malware that pops up manually but I'd sure like a little extra protection.

Guys, I'm working on a addon for jdownloader to send links to another computer without using their damn centralized auth thing. I'm just blocking myself by not being able to decide between two options for transferring links (simple strings) and then loading them into another jdownloader instance.
1) full web server and learn js/php, whatever. I'm not a webdev I have no idea what a good language would be
2) daemon in C pulling in openssl, my easiest option. No concurrency is required as I want it to throw an error if someone else if trying to add links, but I've already done a pre-forking server before. Already looking at how to secure code against buffer overflows, etc.

Please tell me what the advantages of your suggestion are, if I didn't care I would flip a coin. Thanks in advance.

how do i change the default search engine on pale moon?

Does encrypting your system partition or hdd prevent it from getting a virus that originates from another partition?

Can a windows virus from an infected system partition spread to a another system partition that's encrypted on the same PC?

you change to a non special snowflake web browser

No as A) a virus can't tell if data is encrypted vs random data (as the main point of encryption is to help ensure that the CIA principles of data, Confidentiality and with some schemes that feature built in verification Intgerity while doing nothing to help with the Avability of data.

The availablty attribute can be effected by hopefully obvious things such as the presence of backups and redundant systems just to name a few. B) if it even could some how, it wouldn't care about the encryption status of data. C) Also a another "fun" fact, if this virus is cryptomalware, it will happily encrypt already encrypted data. This can happen an unlimited number of times. It is the same basic principe as a fork bomb, where data can be compressed an unlimited number of times with the next layer stacking on top of the next.
Yes, see above. Encryption isn't a magical cure all, wonder pill like most if not everything thing in life.

There should be a box to left of the search bar, which allows you to manage search engines. At the bottom there should be a link that says someting to the effect of "to add more search engines, click this link", which will then bring up a multi paged list of potential search engines.

I can create a picture guide if one is really needed, however hopefully it makes even a little bit of sense. There is also an option to edit it manually via the built in editor inherited from Firefox, search it up for specifics.

Is it possible to SSH into a server, run a process and then logout of the server while still keeping the process running on the server? E.g. loging into the server from a client,moving over some data,running IPFS add and once it has started, ending the connection so that the client can be powered off to save power. I assume forking IPFS into a background process isn't going to work?

Final bump.

I don`t have a background as a developer, but as a Infomation Systems manager. I would love to use, this once it is completed as it sounds very useful.
I see several potentiall problems with this: A) increased attack surface, B) having to learn anything on the fly isn't fun and usually leads to poor results. Finally C)has the potential to cause the main application to use way more resources( when compared to a deamon) to deal with the new layer to deal with, this could lead it to hang and possibly locking up the entire system.
Having prior expirence will help quite alot, making the developement cycle easier. Also by using C, your code base will more portable than js/php as a result of less requirements. Which in turn will help make it more manageable because of the KISS principle. One suggestion, replace Openssl with Libressl. The reduced code base and reduced market share will help make auditing easier while reducing the attack surface. Also by having it as a deamon allows you to run it as a background process and only run when the adult process is running.

What (fully open source) options are there for the movie version of .wav to .flac? Besides,FEV1 ( or however it is spelt and besides it is not as easy to convert to it in ffmpeg as going from .wav to .flac) and this one that I tried that while lossless created a result way bigger than the source material (about 1.8 GiB and counting from a few hundred megabyte source if I remember right).

What do you guys think of Parrot OS? What are the main differences between it an Kali? Is it a good distro for everyday use?

Those distros are made specifically for using hacking tools. They aren't any more secure than your average Linux distro, and are usually more annoying for everyday tasks. A pentesting distro is one you load up, do your thing then reboot into your normal system, not one you run for everyday tasks.
For an analogy, it's like living in an old tank instead of a house. Sure, the tank is made to attack houses, but that won't make you feel less cramped, and you'll look like an idiot.
Aside from that they're both Debian based, and very similar. Appraently Parrot has some stability issues, so you might as well stick to Kali.

chromium or chrome canary? whats the difference. and what do they differ from firefox and are they better or worse?

In Firefox (and I don't see why any deritives why would be different) the deafult engine in search box is the omnibox engine.

Which version of Windows should I pirate for this? Do I need an antivirus if all I'll be doing is downloading vidya from a safe store? Does Windows 7 still show popups about upgrading to 10, and is updating going to fuck me over? Anything else I need to worry about?
Windows 7 is only version worth even bothering.
Suppsoly that time has past.
It is Windows 10, most mostly something will go wrong.
I would suggest getting a stock SP 1 image as DAZ loader works very reliably with it. Also I would suggest getting tinywall as you can set it only allow certian programs to conect to the network. Also disable Windows update in both Tinywall and the Control Pannel otherwise text at the bottom right conerner will say "this copy of Windows in not genuine".

chromium is the open source base of Chrome. Chrome Canary is the same idea as Firefox Alpha/Beta, a none stable version of the browser.
Seriously, it is one is the basis of Chrone and the other is a none stable version of Chrome.
See above. Chromium has had a closed source blob auto downloaded in the past.

Isn't video lossless really fucking big? HuffYUV makes 1 GB files from a 10 second clip.

Windows 7 of course, no updates should be necessary, although some games could ask you a recent version of NET Framework, and you can just download that directly from Microsoft.

I still have my Windows partition, and it did show me a pop up asking me to upgrade to Windows 10 (I installed the monthly malware update), but you can just select Don't Remind Me Again.

I can only talk about Firefox ESR vs Chromium, and in my case Chromium, following the privacy settings, is much faster.

Btw I've had a lot of issues with HTTPS Everywhere, better use SSL Enforcer.

Yes it does as in Dirac's case (which is the one that I used earlier that created a absolutely massive file as it works on a per frame basis I belive). This time running, ffmpeg -i videoX.mkv [58.8 mb] -strict -1 videoX.drc [a 1.4 GiB file that was only stopped by running out of space]. However in comparsion I can expect any conversion of a .wav to a .flac version to be roughtly half the size. FFV1 sounds cool but isn't as easy to convert from a .mkv. Yes audio and visuals are completely different, howevber it shouldn't be this hard to find something similar.

please respond

If you put a screen protector on it it should fill in the scratches, making it look unscratched. It only looks like that while the protector is on though.

really? huh. simple enough

My motherboard doesn't support wake on lan. Can I still wake from hibernation on lan? That is, is it only powering up that requires motherboard support?

Mine is fine, you're being done goy.


No, how ancient is your motherboard?

tried to install kubuntu, my amd hd radeon 7800 card didn't like that at all. tried both open source and proprietary drivers, but result is same; green lines all across screen on boot, kubuntu doesn't load just green lines

worked fine when i booted from cd to install. nomodeset in grub boots fine but essentially makes my card an extension coord for the motherboard. integrated graphics also works. my card works fine on windows 7. should i try another distro? suggestions?

The open source drivers are apart of the kernel, so one where it is some what updated regularly. This mainly means rolling release distribution, personally I would suggest Void. Primarily as I belive Systemd is a abomination that shouldn't exist.

i've been a windowsbabby until now, have gotten some ubuntu familiarity from school computers.

I've only used apt for packages before... according to wikipedia void uses xbps... is it difficult to learn?

No it isn't hard to learn, personally but I have gotten used to it. I consider to be slightly similar to Arch. To make it easy to understand I won't be including any flags except where necessary. To install a package [xbps-install $package-name] while removing is as simple as [xbps-remove $package-name]. I would suggest checking the package database (with xbps-query -Rs $package-name) before trying to install as some times the install and package names may not fully line up as one would expect (e.g. Krtia has something appened to it rather than just being called Krita). To update you simply run [xbps-install -u].

I almost forgot, the installer [void-installer] is a graphical terminal which you run either as root or via sudo. Also if you pick one of the pre-setup environment images choose local as the source when prompted to install it. It appears to be pretty straightforward, however it can't hurt to check your setup via the bottom middle settings tab before committing to your choices.

I used this when I tried to install Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Mint. Will it work for Void too or do I need to get a CD or memory stick?

How do i make anonymous bulletin board?

After Trump and BR exit was sucessfull just because of some memes made by some guys on anonymous board i finally started to belive. I want to create anonymous board for my country since the corruption is high. I have money i have space.

firefox

I have a shitty ex win8 laptop for now.
I had manjaro and ubunto and hated them both.
It cannot run win7 normally because it gives me drivers issuess (can't install gfx graphics drivers and etc)

Anyways what distribution should I get?

In PHP how do I write a statement to select something from a table and display it on a page when the date of the entity on the table matches the date of this day.
I mean this in the sense that I'm trying to make a TODAY IN X part of a page, and as it is NOVEMBER 10th, it would pick out an entry that has a date field of 10\10.

So I've been trying out some of the custom fonts running setconsolefont and it changes the font for the terminal when x isn't running. Why won't the fonts for xterm and other terminals be changed as well?

DATE(timestamp) = DATE(NOW())

I need to buy a network card but I don't know what to get or what'll run on my system well. Do network cards also generally come with bluetooth as well or is that always separate?

What's the best bitcoin wallet to use? Is there even a difference?

Seems like you just need to add sudo before everything.

you can fork infinity

trying to install openshot and I get a bunch of errors when it tries to install python-pillow that a bunch of files in /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/PIL/ already exist.

can I do this safely and have the install work?

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/PIL

what happened

ur slow

were r the proofs?

Hello, Holla Forums. I'm a novice, so please be kind. A little while ago, I experienced something very bizarre and frightening. My LG monitor (which is about seven years old) would occasionally bring up its graphics menu (usually accessible though clicking buttons on the right side of the monitor). Later, it would even scroll through those options.

I then wrote on the URL bar, that if I'm being hacked, please "flip through all the options," and it more or less did this. about a minute later. This is some scary fucking shit.

I'm using Linux Mint and the problem seems to have started after downloading and using Telegram (the desktop version). I also downloaded Mono a while ago (without really knowing what it was [I still don't really understand its implications of modeling the .net architecture] because I just wanted Wine to run properly, so I downloaded a bunch of shit from the software repository). Also, I didn't configure my firewall at all (it was off, but I hear this is not such a big deal for Linux). I'm also using flash since upgrading to Linux Mint 18, because it sucked not being able to watch of a third of porn videos.
So those are the three weakpoints I see: Telegram, (probably not), Mono, Flash, and my firewall turned off.
Well, for any one of these, I do find it hard to imagine the monitor itself being hacked.

Could it be that I'm being hacked, or is it that my old monitor is just giving way--I mean, the thing flickers randomly every other minute, so it's no out of the question.

You've got a virus there, n00b. Get those magnets ready.

Your monitor bugging out has nothing to do with your computer.

How the fuck do I have a virus just from installing shit from the software repository, with the only exception being Telegram?
telegram.org/


These are my thoughts as well, but I read that monitors can be hacked, and I really don't know what to believe anymore.

Viruses found a way. Now you must find a way, with magnets.

Tails


Dust build up which might have also caused a fan to fail. Heat buildup keeps CPU running at low clocks.

Why would anyone ever want to hack into your monitor?

I think it's about 5 years old. It's an OEM M4A78LT-M.


Sounds like the buttons are fucked. Try squeezing the plasting around them and see if anything moves or if it triggers it.

nsa.gov1.info/dni/nsa-ant-catalog/monitors/index.html

GTK3 or ...?

Why would the NSA specifically want to spy on you beyond the usual means?

I'm not the monitor guy, just a random autist who happened to wander by and see the question about why anybody would ever want to hack a monitor.
Self sage on the cyclical thread to ignore me.

Probably the Hillary leaks and Podesta shit. That would be my guess.

I want to buy a new laptop, the one I'm using now is nearly 10 years old, and I want to know if and how I can downgrade that new laptop to windows 7 because it will come with win10 preinstalled, though in the meantime before my purchase i will look into linux and what have you because from what I've read anything is better than win10.

If I could be pointed towards a guide of some sort that'd likely save some time.

What the fuck do I do with an arduino? I bought one for an Internet of things project for college but I'm planning on going into civil engineering so I probably won't be using it much in the future for school.

Are there any cool projects that are actually useful?

Don't bother, just wipe it and install 7. You really should be using Linux though.

Why your monitor and not your browsing history?


Like said, don't downgrade. Just install Windows 7 or Linux. You might have driver issues if you go with Windows.
Never used it before? Just go with a "flavor" of Ubuntu. (ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/flavours) It's all the same distro, just with different desktop environments. Plain Ubuntu uses Unity and it's fucking awful.

Can anyone explain to me how to send an e-mail and have it run through a custom domain so people see that address when they receive it? I recently set up forwarding to a custom domain but I still don't know how to do the inverse. If it's possible--I hope it is.

Sorry, really new to this and searches are confusing me further.

There's no way in hell that doesn't support WoL, have you enabled it in the bios?

Hello guys, i have a no bios t420, i want to use it, can i use the ezp2013 bios programmer to write a bios to the desoldered chip? Or should i use an eeprom programmer with a pomona clip? I think the model of the piece that i have to write the bios on is MX25L6406E, is this correct? Thanks guys.

I don't see any dust inside the laptop.

In addition, can anyone tell me if it's possible to sniff out the basal e-mail address when communicating through a forwarding domain? Don't want this current account I'm using to continue getting spammed should I remove the forwarding association at some point.

How do I use the Options menu on Holla Forums to filter threads with x keyword in the OP post or Subject?
What does "regex" mean there?

I don't seem to be able to get the filter to work.

CAN someone tell me what do i need in order to create website? Im absolute and total noob.

sign up to neocities, or get cheap vps, install apache or whatever software you want, then get a free domain and free https cert

Old forum posts suggest that there are some BIOSes that are too old to understand live-usb and can only boot from hdd or cd-rom. In this case, what to do when the cd-rom is fucked and there is no hdd?

How do I disable the automatic copying of highlighted text in GNU/Linux?

Im total noob. I have read something from google and this guy suggest to buy this host bluehost.com/associate/websitesetup. Are they ripping me off or its good deal. I dont know.

When I load up Manjaro KDE and log in graphical things like small animations in windows don't work and some things just seem off.

When I log out it auto logs me into another session that is perfectly fine and has none of the issues. It's almost like logging in after boot causes 2 sessions to launch with the first one I enter being shit. Any idea what's going on? Having to log out on login every time is annoying.

no you just want something you can ssh into
alpharacks.com/myrack/cart.php?gid=6
cheap af

google "how to run website on vps via ssh"

So what do i do in steps i imagine it like this.

1. create my template webpage via neocities.
2.buy vps
3.install apache i dont know what this does
4. free domain and free https cert i dont know where to get this or what to do

I dont understand anything.

Abandon ship right now Manjaro is a terrible choice. Install Arch or if you really need an installer then use Antergos.

I don't want to change I just need help with this issue which I'm sure isn't exclusive to this distro but overall seems pretty rare. Although feel free to list everything wrong with this distro and why another is better. I like to be informed.

Speaking from experience here. It offers no advantages over stock arch. The kernels are always behind it has security issues. They actually suggested that people set their clock back in time when their HTTPS cert expired. It is extremely bloated and flagrantly violates the arch philosophy. Antergos on the other hand is arch with an installer and one custom repo. I have no clue about the KDE issue as I have never used it.

is it safe to use jdownloader 2?
jdownloader.org/jdownloader2

I never bothered to check until today because im planning to buy a new gpu. This is supposed to be idle performance right? This processor is supposed to run at 3.81ghz, is this normal on windows to show idle performance or should I check on cpuz?

I don't know if it's KDE. Sessions are handled by SDDM. It's either an auto login that happens on logout once per boot with the first session having errors OR on login it creates 2 sessions with one hidden or in standby with issues until I close one of them.

How do i make the fonts in Firefox look not ass? I've tried just about everything, to no avail.

My distro (Fedora) ships a bad sans sans-serif and monospace (at least when you use anything other than GNOME or MATE, seriously even the XFCE's fonts look like shit OOTB)

So what fonts should i use? DejaVu seems to look like shit too. Should i change the hint settings? I'm realy a skrub with fonts and font rendering.

Any web designers on here? What can I do to improve this?

I'm a shit at CSS and graphic design in general, but I'm setting up this remote surveilance system for my parents and I want this to at least be somewhat astetically pleasing.

Any gamepad to keyboard mapping software Holla Forums would recommend please?

Basically I wanna use gamepad button for push-to-talk, but the program ofcourse only accepts keyboard bindings.

I keep distro hopping constantly because I can't seem to find the distro for me.

I prefer systems like BSD. I want simplicity without over engineered formats like deb and rpm. Is slackware the distro for me?

I use slackware. It's the most UNIX like of all distros. Slackware is definitely BSD lite. Give it a try and see what you think of it.

HEY TECH

I really need to get Windows 10 on my laptop by tonight (for free). What I do need? I don't have a CD/DVD/flashdrive with over 2GB of storage and the image alone is 2.5 or so.


Can I install from VM? If needed I'll go down to the store and snag some DVDs, but how do I get a legit win10 for free?

If you have another computer or laptop you could do a network install but I don't know how to help you with that.

Torrent Windows 10 using a VPN (so that you don't get a nice email saying "don't steal my shit") to get it in the first place.

However, installing it is a pain in the ass, in my experience. If you're coming from a Linux distro, my experience has been that it is impossible to do a live boot since none of the programs work properly when doing Linux to Windows, and I'm not sure using WINE will even suffice. I spent hours trying to do just this (for Windows 7 to get something to run) to no avail. I eventually just learned how to configure WINE and not download the version from the software repository, as it's way behind the current version (for Linux Mint, anyway). (That is, use the command line to get the latest version, without using apt-get.)

But anyway, your best bet is to burn an ISO image (that you got from a torrent) to a disc and then boot from there. I've seen someone mount an ISO directly from a bash shell (Linux) and configuring the GRUB, but I don't like to fuck with those things.

And make sure that ISO is cracked or has a key.

Also, VM is nice but is worthless for running more CPU or graphics intensive stuff, like video games or, I'm guessing, video rendering or number-intensive stuff like molecular dynamics simulations or AI.

It's also a pain in the ass to get things like USBs working using the free version. You're going to have to set up a shared folder for that, and click and drag shit that way, or download it off the internet.

What the fuck are you doing?

A-anybody?

I don't get what you mean, user. Why not just type in the address you want people to see in the Reply To field in your email client?

Okay, so you've registered a domain, right? You use that domain to setup another e-mail address that directs messages to your "real" e-mail address, right? But how do you do the inverse and send mail through that domain? I want people to only see that fake forwarding address when I send e-mail to them, so the "real" e-mail address is never known. That's a thing you can do... Right?

I don't know how well I'm articulating this so here's an example:

[email protected]/* */ is the source e-mail account

Kimbo registers poofetish.org and sets up an alternate address of [email protected]/* */

Now when people send e-mail to [email protected]/* */ it directs it so mail is received by [email protected]/* */

What I want is to send e-mail from [email protected]/* */ but mask the origin in the forwarding account so people only see [email protected]/* */ and have no idea [email protected]/* */ even exists.

Your e-mail filter needs work, Codemonkey.

I need the following packages names for fedora: (The following are Ubuntu / Debian's names, I'm requesting the equivalent for Fedora)

WHY DOES REDHAT NEED TO RENAME EVERYTHING

Why does unetbootin suck dick? it won't detect my mounted, properly formatted sd card. Anything else I can use under linux to make create a windows bootable drive?

looking at packages in the AUR and it they all have numbers next to the package names.

I'm not talking about version numbers. I'm talking about the ones in paranthesis. What do they mean?

I get what you're trying to accomplish now. You'd need to have control of that first email server to set up something like this linuxaria.com/pills/how-to-setup-postfix-to-forward-email-to-another-email-account-on-debianubuntu
A lot of the time though you'll see the original addresses in the mail header at the receiving end. Most straight-forward might be to set up two email accounts in your client but again watch out for source IP address in the email header.


Are there email hosts that provide filter functionality to users?

Void may work with it, however I did my dual boot via void-installer.

No apologie needed, I should have made it more obvious but I didn't want to insult anyone`s intelligence

The specifics depend on your specific motherboard, however in general: check to see what BIOS version of your motherbaord supports your specific CPU, download the revelant version to a FAT 32 formated USB and then go to the specific section of your BIOS that handles updates, select the downloaded file. Then wait while it progresses, don't interrupt it as there is a chance that your BIOS may corrupt which would likely require an external flasher with a previous image.

The 3DS almost certainly uses a custom FS. To read it, the revelant driver needs to be found and installed.

I have several networking books some what handy, also the Gentoo Library can be worth while (while it is likely that most if not all will be out of date, older content can still be revelant).

Some repeaters you plug a cat5/6 into the port and others you connect to the existing wifi network which the repeater then retransmitts.

Have you tried ffmpeg?

Winusb should hopefully work.

Yes the program it's self is safe. However it won't get around Mega`s newish ~6.9GiB download limit cap for free users.

How do i find out wich ip addresses (4 and 6) are used for which country?

I just noticed that Cyanogenmod 14 is available for my Moto G. I have CM 13 installed, should I wipe/factory reset my device in order to update? I normally flash the nightly builds without issues, but I'm not sure about upgrading from CM 13 to 14.

How do i get girlfriend?

Shucks, I guess the answer is that it can't be done then (since I don't have and am not in the position to have a reliable personal e-mail server). I guess I had the wrong impression about custom domain e-mails; this isn't going to be as useful as I thought it would be.

Massive linux newfag here, had to switch to TAILS because my apartment complex went full China in terms of internet(no I am not american, so I can't like "sue" them for violating muh freedoms or whatever you do over there)
Fairly simple to get connected and use, but I keep hearing about a "windows camo" mode that I cannot seem to access. I also can't change the window theme anymore, I seem to remember being able to do this last time I used TAILS when I was in university and they censored internet.
Anyone know what's up with that? I really dislike the defaule gnome theme because it's too macfaggy.

are you queer?

I'm thinking about going to college for either a software engineering degree or an information technology degree, but I can't decide which has better career prospects. Does anyone here have experience with either degree to help me decide?

Can anyone suggest a good email service?

I want to build a little network lab using QEMU and I'm a little lost. I've tried socket networking with listen/connect, but when I go into the QEMU console and check `info network`, virtual machines are only connected to the socket - none are listening on it. I've tried several ports, and I still can't get it to work.

I've also tried multicast, but no dice.

Can someone either point out what I'm doing wrong or direct me to learn more about this? I seriously can't find anything in the docs.

Have a stallman for your troubles.

I need help optimizing a large number of PSP ISOs. The main way to go about that is to delete the dummy & update files included in every game. A tool called UMDGen is capable of this, however it lacks batch processing capabilities. Is anyone knowledgeable in the PSP scene and know of a program that can do this? Or is anyone talented enough to jerry-rig a way to optimize multiple files using UMDGen? I'd be very appreciate of any and all help.

How's linux going to be after linus is no more?
I fear people like him are a dying breed and the chances of someone like him taking his spot are slim, imagine shit patches being introduced because at least the person tried or retards repeatedly sending shit patches because that same person wasn't willing to send a very clear hate filled 2 page wall of text about what went wrong during the retard's birth

is umdgen commandline? because if so you can on both windows and gnu/linux easily write a simple script that picks files matching your criteria and runs a certain command

do you have fat16/fat32 drivers installed?

Why do you need to be convinced to use a more secure OS for better security? That's like asking someone to convince you to buy a car that's faster and cheaper than the one you have when you want a fast car.
I guess to answer your question, your privacy using Tor relies on several factors, and the weakest link is what will break your privacy regardless of how strong the other links are. In the case of Tor, these are a few scenarios in which your privacy could potentially be uncovered:
Windows 10 by default tracks almost everything you do which potentially includes your browsing session via Tor. (Actually, with how much spying it does, I'm almost certain they track Tor Browser sessions.) Because you're using Windows 10 and it's difficult to prove everything that Microsoft tracks and what they do with said information, you're basically just gambling your privacy hoping they may or may not care about data they may or may not have. With a good Linux distro, you know that they're not tracking what you do to send information to 3rd party services.

Sadly it's not a command line application. And that is a major part of my dilemma.

This thread mentions another utility called PSPForce. Problem is the thread is 9 years old, the software was inactive even then according to the user who mentioned it, and I can't even find the software via startpage.


If it doesn't work via command line, maybe try AutoHotkey to click the GUI for you? Otherwise I can't help you further with software alternatives.

Luckily, I remember the old sites for PSP homebrew and hacking. Though the URLs have changed, the files have not.

Well, can any user get this database open?

In a GNU/Linux distro, where should I put a binary file and all of it's required files for quick access?

In Windows you'd create a folder in C://Program Files and paste everything in there, then create a shortcut of the binary and place it on the desktop.

But how should I do that in linux in order to have simple commandline access to it?

e.g. i don't want to have to access it by changing path into the folder with all the data in it, to then type ./binary

I'd also prefer if the data folder wasn't in my home directory, but hidden somewhere (i don't to see it anyway)

/usr/local holds your stuff, as opposed to /usr which holds everything done by the package manager. Your binaries would go in /usr/local/bin.
Alternatively there's /opt, which is made for big programs that aren't easy to stick in the OS. You'd have to add the binary to $PATH yourself though.

What are some good partition sizes for Debian?

It's a 300GB laptop with 4GB ram.

I would like to partition the home off from the root so I don't have to wipe the home folder when if I reinstall the OS later.

Trying to rename the user folder on Windows 8 requires me to have a different version of the OS, which is to begin with stupid as it was preinstalled on the laptop I got really cheap.

Anyone know another way to change the name of the user folder without breaking everything? My user login is changed, only the folder isn't.

Renaming the user folder is a good way to get Winblows to stop working.

One way to sneak around the issue is to activate the hidden administrator account, move to that account, make a new account, move all files from old user to new user.

All the folders inside the user folder except for appdata can have their location changed manually. It allows you to store the desktop, download folder on different drives. Also allows for seamless reinstall later.

Eh, would prefer not to have to migrate 800GB of stuff.
There's a built-in method using the hidden admin account, by going to computer management and just changing it there, which apparently redirects all filepaths to the old place. Just wondered if someone found/knew a way to do it without reinstalling the same edition.

Did you try something like this?
superuser.com/questions/495290/how-to-rename-user-folder-in-windows-8

I'm not especially sure about some of the terms he uses, as I'm not a real PC user, and don't get too involved in the deeper areas of computing, but with some googling, I'm sure I can do this.

Thanks user.

HEY

So after (unsuccessfully) trying boot windows onto a laptop to sell, the laptop now won't even power on.


All that I did was go into the boot options menu, select my USB, and then it said "missing OS" and went back to the boot screen. Overnight, my laptop must've died, and now that I'm trying to get it to start I'm worrying I might be out $250. It's a Lenovo X220 Thinkpad too btw.


Is it possible a bad ISO ruined me?

I want to install a plugin for audacity for which I have to copy a file to a /usr/share/ subfolder. Normal drag&drop doesnt work because root.
SO I tried using sudo -i
However, it claims that no such file or directory exist. I checked and doublechecked and triplechecked and such a file or directory DOES exist in BOTH cases.
Still won't do it.
any help? Any common mistakes I might be making?
Full line:
sudo -i /media/enngee/MyBook1/Downloads2/Audacity/Nonlinear-Compressor_XI.ny /usr/share/audacity/plug-ins

I think I just realized, one of the folders contains a space in the name. How do I write that in the terminal? writing "My%20Book" instead of "My Book" doesn't work.

For a folder "My Book" you'd write My\ Book. Escape the space with a backslash.
cd ~/My\ Book/whatever for example

For Audacity just copy the plugin to ~/.audacity-files/plug-ins , because Audacity checks there as well. You won't need root permissions

Okay, thanks.
Now this pops up:
/media/enngee/My Book1/Downloads2/Audacity/Nonlinear-Compressor_XI.ny: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/media/enngee/My Book1/Downloads2/Audacity/Nonlinear-Compressor_XI.ny: line 1: `'nyquist plug-in

1-2 GB for /
4 GB for swap
the rest for /home

Maybe not your case, but I have a 20 GB one for windows, for emergencies.

protonmail, but it doesn't work for Thunderbird or similar

plenty of options, though

privacytools.io/#email

not the same user, but for something with spaces, I put everything in quotations

in your case

sudo -i "/media/enngee/MyBook1/Downloads2/Audacity/Nonlinear-Compressor_XI.ny" /usr/share/audacity/plug-ins

also, you can try run your file manager with sudo:
sudo pcmanfm
because I use pcmanfm, and you can drag and drop now

Everytime I run OpenVPN on android the highest speed I can reach is 1-2 mbits, even though my connection normally goes up to 100 mbits. I have no idea what to do at this point since changing ports is useless, plus if I connect to the same VPN on Debian it easily downloads at 80-90 mbits.
Any help?

Where can I download an original Windows Vista or 7 ISO? I need to update my shit-top's BIOs and the tool doesn't work thru WINE. I don't need an activator or anything.


GIMP is good, but if you don't like it, try Krita.
For video editing, use kDenLive. It's a little complex but way more powerful than anything else on Linux. Use (((YouTube))) for tutorials.

I'm new to web development. I'm making an ASP.NET MVC website. I've already done some work in monodevelop and have been able to host it locally on my machine through the IDE. The client wants me to host it on a linux server so that they can use the website without having to compile it themselves with an IDE.

So I've paid for a shitty linux server and I'm trying to figure out how to deploy this thing. So far, I've realized I need to use Apache and the mod-mono module in order to deploy it on the server, but I'm not really sure how do to it. The official mod-mono documentation on the website (mono-project.com/docs/web/mod_mono/) is less than helpful, when you consider that much of the information is outdated.

So can anyone give me a crash course on what I've got to do to deploy this shit? I know that I've got to edit the mod-mono.conf file and the Apache conf file, but since apache has changed its file structure I don't really know how to set up my directories or really what files from the original monodevelop project I need to port over.

I managed to install Gentoo into a virtual machine but as the picture shows, the internet does not work. Now, the internet does work in the live cd and I've copied the resolv.conf from the live cd to the installation. The internet will refuse to fucking work in the installation. All I want to do is install the i3wm. Now, if anyone doesn't have an answer to this, I would like to know how to manually configure packages for Gentoo. I manually installed all 17 packages that emerge said I needed, but I don't know how to make them. My goal is to get the i3wm one way or another. If I get it the no internet way, then I'll just enable the internet in there. Please, someone, for fucks sakes, help me!

ICMP (ping) doesn't work from within some VMs.

Try HTTP.

I tried emerge, but it can't download the required packages. Plus wget doesn't work if that matters. If you were refering to a command, please tell what that command is.

Also, in case it matters, links and lynx is not installed and I can't install them because like you know, I don't have access to the internet in my VM.

Ok, disregard the ICMP thing.

It looks like your interface is down. Only the loopback interface is up. Is support for the network card compiled into your kernel? If not, is it loaded as a module? If that's taken care of, what do you have to do to get the interface up on Gentoo? I haven't used it in years. You'll also need a DHCP client, or to know how to set up a static route.

lsmod only lists the vboxguest module and I'm not sure how to set a static route. I didn't think I'd need to if I set the resolv.conf.

...

Those Lenovo's have pretty buggy BIOSes. Try this and see if it can find Windows to boot it: rodsbooks.com/refind/index.html
Could also try to burn the ISO to an actual DVD, the Lenovos seem to handle them better.

I forgot that refind site is hard to find your way around. Look for the ISO download and dd it to a USB drive, then try to boot from that.

Does that include the emulated network interface? If not, it needs to be compiled into the kernel. Is it?


resolv.conf is for DNS host lookups. It has nothing to do with setting up your network interface.

help pls

okay, so I figured out grub didn't install right.

pls halp

What do you mean by this? You installed it on a toaster? It installed left instead of right?


wat


This won't fix a bad grub installation, even if it executes successfully.

Is the partition with your /boot dir flagged as bootable?

I just went ahead and told grub to screw off and installed syslinux instead and now everything is fine

Hain, launchy, or some other shit?

How much should I give to my / and /home partitions? Installing Mint 18.

I have 75GB, thought 25GB for root and 50GB for home.

But I'm not sure what I should give priority to in regards to size. Thoughts?

I don't know how to set up my network interface and I don't know where to look in the handbook.

25GB is overkill for /. You could go with 16 GB. Make /home as big as possible since you'll be storing all your personal data and settings there.

did you up the interface?
from what I can see only the loopback is up as default.

>rolled back from cache and now it works (forum.antergos.com/topic/5330/cinnamon-crash-after-login-asus-n550jk/5 if anyone is curious)
Am I missing something here, or is this expected behavior? Being used to the *buntus I'm a bit shocked that a core package update broke everything so badly. Do you Archfags just play the update roulette everytime? Do you just avoid updating when possible and hope it will be okay? Is there a way to quickly tell the dangerous updates from the safe ones or do you have to go on a search engine and search away?

Yes.
Also, have a backup WM under the hood (for instance gnome) in case the one you're using stops working unexpectedly.

Yes but the odds are pretty good. The chances of something system breaking are almost nothing. When something goes wrong you just roll back the package and everything just werks again.

I'm a noob but luckily I knew that ctrl+alt+f2 gives a text prompt so I could get out of the hanged cinnamon, then I had enough proficiency with lynx to find the wiki page for installing xfce, and then somehow figured out that ctrl+alt+backspace forces log out even when it's frozen so I could switch over to xfce4. Kind of a fun problem solving exercise for me to be honest.

However, now I'm scared of using Arch for my main desktop. My data is on a separate drive and backed up occasionally to external, so it's not like Arch could fuck up and ruin my life. Most that can happen is if my cloudsyncs break and corrupt a lot of data, but that can be rolled back to. If configs explode, whatever, I'll just configure them again.

But this morning I was going to do a bunch of work, but instead I had to spend two hours fixing this cinnamon shit. The work wasn't that urgent, but what if one day an update breaks me just when I need to do something right away, and I can't fix it quickly? Or am I just being over cautious because I got unlucky with this one WM package? Or maybe I shouldn't have been lazy with Antergos and just set everything up myself from vanilla Arch?

Do backups?

>supposedly should be able to boot the "Windows Vista (loader)" I guess windows reuses it's bootloaders but doesn't change the name?
How do I get both Debian and windows 7 to appear on the GRUB boot screen on an MBR disk?

I have just built a new PC and I am having a problem with my GPU. My PC seems to be using the integrated card that comes with the mobo and not my 1070. Whenever I tried to access the NVidia control panel pic related would happen. Any advice on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Try going into your motherboard's BIOS settings on boot and looking for GPU-related settings.

Open device manager to see if Windows even detects it

Also try searching the BIOS to see if you can disable the integrated gpu from there

The PC can see the card. I'll give the BIOS thing a shot.

I need some non-autistic software to edit videos with that I can download on Linux Mint. Please no command-lines or learning-curves n' shit, I am way too busy for all that, and just want to install something and use it within minutes. I need something that I can use to put multiple clips together into one and do some bery basic editing like adding text, speeding up video for a timelapse, fade-in and fade-out, that kind of shit and all done with GUI. I'm just putting together some how-to videos for anons to teach them how to make things and do certain things. Something that is equivalent I guess with whatever shit Windows fags use (haven't used Windows in many years now).

Anything out there that fits the bill?

fuck

Hmmm can blender edit movies?

Yes, it's fucking amazing at it too.

Using a VPN with a shared exit IP address, how can I set up a dynamic DNS so that I can access my server from SSH without any hassle? I tried to set up freedns but it takes an eternity to connect, and works 1 out of 10 times

Strange. After installing Debian you should see Windows listed in the grub menu. Went flawlessly for me. Once Debian is installed and booted, you could try reinstalling grub to see if it detects windows.

sudo grub-install /dev/sdX
sudo update-grub

(where 'X' is the target drive)

Wrong reply.

how do i turn off the anti-aliasing text on KolourPaint?

i want to type some flat text so i can easily recolor it

There's only vp8 and vp9 aka libvpx & libvpx-vp9; ffmpeg uses vp9 by default if you do not specify a webm codec.
ffmpeg -i input.avi -c:v libvpx output.webm
ffmpeg -i input.avi -c:v libvpx output.webm

dd if=/dev/sdx of=/dev/sdy

ffmpeg -i input.avi -vn -sn -compression_level 12 output.flac
if size is an issue you probably didn't use the right compression level.

I think he means the library ffmpeg links against. That most likely depends on ffmpeg version. Although for me, both versions I have installed (2.8.8 and 3.2) are linked against libvpx.so.3, so it might just depend on which version of libvpx you have.

Your kind are the absolute worst filth.

every failed pacman -Syyu is a learning opportunity *tips*

does the second one even work?

youtube.com/watch?v=t2F1rFmyQmY

I didn't explain myself well at all. I meant it as in, is there a movie format that is similar to flac for music as in it losssley compresses videos while reducing the file size. I tried Draic but it managed to create a file way bigger then the source file before it ran out of space with still more processing to go. FEV1 looks like it would work, but I don't know how to use it with ffmpeg.

matroska (*.mkv) supports flac

Are there any addons with NoScript's "script surrogate" functionality? It would be for firefox profile where javascript is set to disabled.

That would be fine if my question was about audio support in movie formats. However it is not hopefully this is more clearer, is there any other open source lossless video formats besides Draic (*.Drc)? The Wikipedia page lists alot of containers (I don't remember the proper terminology), FFV1 looks the most suitable however I don't know how to use it with ffmpeg. The man page for ffmpeg is a massive dump of information and it is personally hard to make sense of it.

Matroska is the answer to all questions about "movie formats", because it supports all video, audio & subtitle formats. You could for example use flac & vp9, both of which are lossless.

Serious Question:
How do I Holla Forums? I want to learn about deeper levels of computing that I'm used to, but everytime I try to learn something, I get 20 buzzwords thrown in my face that just make me resort to asking here for advice, or simply not going through with my idea.

Do I really need to go to a school, or can I just learn from home? Books? Videos?
I want to learn about languages, networks and security, but it all seems to me that if you weren't "in" 10-20 years ago, it's a bit hard to just jump in.

The IT industry is constantly evolving, so naturally you have to keep up, but the basics remain the same. A good way to get into both the software and hardware side of things is to get a single board computer and start tinkering with it, it's much easier than you'd might think and a lot of universities use raspberry pis and stuff like that. You can start with christmas light arrays and then move on to security systems, maybe a wifi repeater or some automation. it's practical and you learn the basics. tl;dr start a project you're excited about.

Thank you sincerely dubsman.

I'm having a problem with my PC connecting to the network after a bad thunderstorm and want some tips on where to look.

I'm on fiber optic and my ISP provides the router. This is only effecting my PC, others are fine and wifi works fine.

After 24 hours uptime my internet dies, sort of. If I'm connected to something then I can still use it (like a IM or team speak) but I can't make any new connections. I can't connect to my router through the browser and Chrome gives me the error ERR_connction error. When I try disabling my network card and renabling it I get the error Network cable unplugged.

If I reboot my PC then it works fine for another 24 hours and then drops again. Does any one have any clue why? I've ordered a new network cable and I'm waiting on that but I just want to know what might be wrong. I've tried searching through support forums and nothing seems to match this. I'm considering reformating my PC to see if that fixes it but I'm not far off buying a new machine so I'd rather hold off if possible.

~10% IPC

Im buying a new laptop for everyday use and am going to start using linux for the first time. Couple things i want to know first though.

Is it true i wont need an antivirus if i use linux? (Linux mint 18 specifically) This seems like something people tell newfags then laugh at them when their computer breaks. Whats the truth about this?

Its a pain in the arse finding what i want that also lets you choose not to have windows 10 pre installed. Probably me being dumb but i wanted to know. If i install linux straight away will any trace of the windows 10 botnet remain and send my fetishes to the nsa?

Buy a used ThinkPad. And no, you don't need AV, just don't be a retard, security is still a concern on Linux.

Why a used one? I dont want some faggot having installed a keylogger or something similar and stealing my money. Not like i have much but still.

What does not being a retard constitute? Torrents?

Anyone?

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and I use Chromium as my default browser.

For some reason when I go to Amazon (and some other sites too) it shows up like pic related. This only happens on this browser, but I'd prefer to not switch. Also I know it's not just me because it's doing it on my brothers laptop too.

First of all, stop using Adcock Plus and install ublock origin

Your PC firewall might be blocking DHCP renewals. Check that or try setting a static IP.

I'm having a problem with an SanDisk SDHC card but then I'm not, see the card itself it recognized and works that isn't my issue here. I'm attempting to use CFW on a Wii U and it's as simple as moving some folders onto the SD card and going online, now I've done that, formatted my card in Fat32 and the whole shebang works. What doesn't work now is a 32 GB card (28.9 exact) refuses to allow me to move a 23 GB game once unzipped from 10 GB. I don't know what gives but this is ticking me off and I can't find information about this at all why the hell can't I move the game over , why the hell does it tell me there's not enough space for a 23 GB game when there's still six GB overall leftover, is it even supposed to do that or is it Windows 7 being shit?

Just use cropdetect (-vf cropdetect) and autocrop it like this:
inp="input.webm"; ffmpeg -i "$inp" -vf $(ffmpeg -i "$inp" -t 1 -vf cropdetect -f null - 2>&1 | awk '/crop/ { print $NF }' | tail -1) output.webm
inp="input.webm"; ffmpeg -i "$inp" -vf $(ffmpeg -i "$inp" -t 1 -vf cropdetect -f null - 2>&1 | awk '/crop/ { print $NF }' | tail -1) -f matroska - | ffplay -

If any of the sub files are greater than 4GiB Fat32 will not process it, exfat is what you will need.

So I reformat it to exFat to get it working?
You're right I think I read something about that actually it having a limit itself however hardly any games I want to play are 4 GB. I'll try it and come back to you though, thanks either way.

Post T400/X200 and debatable T420/X220 (and honestly I don't care much for post T60/X60 ones myself) Thinkpads are all S H I T.
Also you're paranoid. Nobody's going to install a keylogger on a random stinkpad.

I recently purchased an ideapad Y500 (QIQY6 system board) from a pawn shop and I didn't notice until later that the system password was set. I could take it back but I'd rather keep the laptop. I figured I'd try the EEPROM shorting trick. cmospwd doesn't give me anything useful, and from what I've heard clearing the cmos is just going to brick it. I can post the output if you guys want though. Anyone know which EEPROM it is and whether or not the shorting trick works on this laptop? It's been a complete headache. The only schematics I've been able to find are paywalled on some russian site.

I've fiddled with the orientation a bit, it's already widescreen, so that can't be it.
Monitor is an HP 2009m by the way.

Is there a way to see the number of whois lookups my domain is getting?

Are you on a school network?

Yeah so the exfat didn't work. I can now transfer files over however the Wii U refuses to mount the SD card.

How do I disable continuous scrolling in Zathura? I want it to stop when I reach the bottom of a page. I've just spent over an hour reading the man page from top to bottom and messing around with the config file with no success. I really don't want to go back to using Evince or MComix just because I missed something obvious.

1. Is there a more recent script for Holla Forums than Holla Forums X 2.0 pure?

2. Is there a script for Holla Forums to display webm metadata on mouseover a la cuckchan?

This is making my output look absolutely shit for some reason

I'm looking for a lightweight ID-tag editor for Linux. It should be able to add album covers, that's the most important thing for me. Any recommendations?

...

I'm tired, shut up.

What program do you recommend to do this job?

Is anyone else not seeing stubs from hidden posts anymore?

hello guys, i want to create an algorithm to download images from a imgur folder (theres probably something that does that already, but i want to learn it), what should i learn before doing it? I have some knowledge in C, but thats all.

i did something like this for Holla Forums recently using python, requests, and bs4. you could do the same for imgur.


if you want to do this in c/c++ consider using libcurl and libxml2.

Hi Holla Forums, I've been using Mint for the last 12 months and I like it, but I'm ready to move on to a proper OS now. If I were reinstalling on Windows, I would back up my file system so that I can restore from it in case I fuck up/want to go back to what I had. What's the equivalent process on Linux? I could just manually copy my file system onto my hard drive (which I might do anyway since it's not that big), but is there a more sensible way of backing up Linux OS snapshots to restore from later?

id say get any live os with partition manager. its much more failsafe than any unmaintained bloatware backup mechanism.

if your lnux os partition is small like 32GB then its faster to backup and 3x faster with usb3.0.

boot live os and copy them gigabytez as an ISO or whatever the part manager suggested by default. dont forget to hash the iso afterwards and store the hash for future checking in case your backup drive got bad sectors.

if you fuck up your os just flash the old partition. of course with the same live dvd

that's how i fix my fucked up boot partition when i distrohopped for more than a dozen times.

cons? you need around 300MB-3GB for just the live os. just get drivedroid 'app' so you dont need to sacrifice an 8gb flash drive for 300mb

*cont just in case

dont change the length of the 'current partition where the snapshot os got installed' (dont increase or cut the partition. leave it be if you install windows then leave it exactly as it is and dont ever extend or shrink!)

dont wipe the partition into 'unlabeled free space' then format a new '32gb' partition or your snapshot ISO becomes incompatible. different disk managers have different alignment. 32GB minght be 32.01GB on the other.

What's the Holla Forums approved e-mail app for Android?
I'm hearing K-9 Mail is now outdated and surprisingly battery hungry.

I want to replace my Nvidia graphics card with an AMD one, do I need to get an AMD-compatible motherboard or is that exclusively a CPU issue?

lhohq.info/
so this website got posted on Holla Forums and it might be either a shitty bait site from 2007 or something interesting.
Is there any way to dig into it beyond looking up who registered it (it was a private account on godaddy) and where it was registered (a random UPS store in Scottsdale, AZ)?
like, as in look at every page connected to it or something like that?

What's the pastebin that has a list of how Windows 10 spies on you, it also has links to sources proving they do it.

It does not have any tutorials on how to fix it.

Create an image with dd. Whenever you think about backup think about dd.
dd if=/dev/sdx of=/path/to/backup.img

How do you copy from a bigger medium to a smaller medium without overwriting what's on the smaller medium since dd is only tying to complete the job?

It's a file, just make sure you have enough disk space. You can mount it later on your new system and browse it like a regular hard drive.

how do you guys make your trackpoint stop traveling up the screen on it's accord

Well, when I was trying to copy my botched Gentoo installation on a laptop to a 8GB usb, the size of the data on the laptop was smaller than the capacity of the usb, dd took forever and when it finally finished, it looked like it had written over files that were copied over previously. Now the way I found that out was stopping the copying process and looking what remained in the usb drive, and barely anything was in there.

source? remember to download the F-Droid version, and it's not like it requires constant updates

I just checked, last version is from Noverber 10th

Thanks anyway, I tried to uninstall libvpx1 but I can't do it without uninstalling half the system, including MATE.

Only way out is using 1 thread, but it's not worth it.

try avidemux, there's a crop filter


Even faster than their commercial counterparts (former pomf.is/pomf.se):

you mean blur things in motion? that's a contradiction, as far as I know

Alright, I'm really tired tonight so I don't won't to go an uncomment my code. All this is supposed to fucking do is sort an array so that the integers in letterorder are from least to greatest. They will eventually be inputted back into the array of strings of alphabet which yes, I know should be char. My problem is that for some fucking reason the program won't do shit if the for loop isn't outputting something in the first if statement in the while loop. If you compile the code as is posted, there will be a segmentation fault because for some fucking reason the loop at the bottom doesn't agree with the "v" variable and a segmentation fault occurs. C++ is pulling a retard on me and my inner autism rage is becoming a full circle. Please help me.
#include int main(int argc, char*argv[]){ //std::string sectorletter[26] = {"A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K", "L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"}; //int letterorder[] = {2, 3, 7, 1}; //1 //int letterorder[] = {2, 3, 1, 7}; //2 int letterorder[] = {7, 2, 3, 1}; //3 int letterordersize = sizeof( letterorder ) / sizeof( letterorder[0] ); int tmp; std::cout

What I mean by being inputted back into the string array is that I'm going to write a function type shit that takes whatever is couted with \n and make that the corresponding letter. So like, if the output is this before the conversion:
2
3
7
1
Then the output after conversion would be
B
C
G
A
I'm not asking to help me with that, I am just writing this to fix confusion.

dd is called disk destroyer for a reason. It's a very powerful tool and in the hands of a fool it can wreak havoc.
dd if=/dev/sdx of=image.img status=progress
Remember, sdx = disk ; sdx1 = partition ; look them up with lsblk

Not him, but I was bored and thumbing through the settings on my Android phone while on the john at work recently, and was surprised to see K-9 mail was the biggest battery hog of all the apps on my phone. It had used something like 29% of the juice. I don't even open it that often and it's only set to check for new mail once an hour.

No, nothing was destroyed, just that the data already transfered to the usb drive from dd was being overwitten during the same process of dd.

wtf is that piece of shit
>somehow try letterorder[i]
>loop on the array with k as counter, then do i = k++
>expecting letterorder[i] not to be out-of-bound

The only thing I'm understanding from your code is that you're trying really hard to get a segmentation fault.

Also
>if (letterorder[i] == letterordersize)//if it reaches the end
According to the comment, what you're trying to do is if (i == letterordersize)

I just got a windows 10 thing and I was wondering how I could minimize the spying on this machine aside from plugging it from the internet completely.
Note: this is my secondary machine.

Honestly, get a new OS.

The spyware is very sticky, down to the kernel.

Actually, I already made up my mind half an hour ago and I'm downloading a few Linux distros to try out.
Wonder how they will behave on a tablet, even though this does say it's 64-bit

I'm sorry, I already asked this question in summer and I need to do that again, how can one generate urls in bash? What i mean is i insert adress "8ch.net/page1" and the console/bash gives me back something along the line- 8ch.net/page2 8ch.net/page3 8ch.net/page4 8ch.net/page5,

I need Holla Forumss opinion on something:
I am repairing an old laptop. The best way for me to get parts I need is by buying another one off ebay. I need multiple things including a "platform specific" HDD I am torn between two options:

Seller one wants 35$, the computer case is mangled to shit and looks awful however, it is sold as "in fully working order" with a 120GB hdd (rare on these). While the case is mangled, the battery looks very nice (the seller does not mention the battery at all so it is probably dead.) These laptops are notorious for bulging batteries that do not fit in the slot. but this one looks great!

Seller TWO wants 32$, the computer is in EXCELLENT condition, probably a less worn case than my own. It only has an 80GB hdd BUT this one includes 700MB of ram (also rare on these). The seller says the battery does not hold charge (i dont care one way or the other) And it is clear the battery is bulged and does not fit in the slot.

the only parts I need are HDD and a new keyboard. BOTH have those.


TLDR DO I BUY
A: BIGGER HDD, SHIT CASE, NICE LOOKING BATTERY

or

B: STANDARD HDD, SUPER NICE LOOKING CASE, SHIT LOOKING BATTERY, MOAR RAM

also I would like to add, seller 1 has like 100 bad feedback out of 10000, BUT they offer 30 day returns so if the keyboard or hdd is totally dead i can just return it, they are also charging like 12$ shipping from 1 state over. (this is included in the 35$)
seller 2 ALSO has 30 day returns, but is in Alaska and im on the east coast
I ONLY care about a working keyboard and hdd. Like I said it costs less to buy a whole new computer than to buy the fucking keyboard on its own(i CAN get hdd's for 15$)

Do you have a rough time (e.g. three months ago) of when you originally posted? If so, I`l and dig through my local archives.

Well it is possible to give the appearance that is the case however it will very likely require frame by frame processing to be most effective.

You could possibly remove the driver/disable it in software, so that the hardware is nog functioning and use a mouse instead. However it is more likely your sensitivity may be too high and that it is picking up small movements of the laptop. Updating or switching drivers (if possible) may help

Yes is only the case with CPU`s. GPU`s use the common cennection standard of the time that works with sound cards,networking cards and raid cards amoungst others. So currently PCIE and for older systems AGP,PCI,PCI-X.

Audacity allows you to edit metadata when exporting. Also media info gives the option as well I belive. Finally ffmpeg should be able to do it as well.

That is because the Wii is currently unaware of how to read the filesystem.Mabye there is a Wii CFW (Custom FirmWare) that Supports exfat.

If you are going try and multi task alot, I would suggest the second one with more RAM. However if you aren't that the larger HDD will be more useful. 100/10000 is 1% which is personally well within an acceptable range. Also I assume you are going to salvage it for parts, so the case personally wouldn't have any influence seeing as it is likely to be in pieces within ten minutes of arrival.
Now that I think about it more, this almost certainly just idle speculation on my part but a nicer case may suggest that the keyboard may have faired better as there is likely less chance for any connections to have been damaged.

that's what I am mainly worried about, the keyboard alone sells "NEW" for 60$ just because of how rare they are. This thing is VERY old and I am just restoring it for fun I dont care about how much ram or hdd space so long as the keyboard works, and hopefully both sellers are not full of shit

I also want to add that seller 2 is selling with an OS installed so at least that means the hdd works.

I decided to go with seller 2
seller 1 posed NO bonus besides having a slightly larger HDD and a SLIGHTLY better fitting battery

hey, i'm a cs student and i feel like my college is quite lackluster in terms of content oh god, my oriented object programming is so bad that i would say i unlearned what i knew about it
so i'll take the next 2 months to study deeply about anything cs related

everyone here talks about SICP, but it really worth for a shitty cs student? i just skimmed some pages on the pdf and it seems like a book about LISP, a language i know nothing about (and i'm not even sure its used anymore). What are you guys opinion? what are some useful things to study?

I want to overclock my gpu but scared to fuck everything up, how do I avoid this?

Is OpenIndiana any good?

How do I share files between two wangblows 7 computers through LAN without using Home Network? For some reason probably cause this one's wangblows is bitching about not being genuine the HN is not working.

Chances are that someone has already overclocked your GPU. Look it up the values and stay at least 10-15% below the top range. Monitor your GPU temperature and give it a try. It's not rocket science.

Is there a way to have different chromium shortcuts for different chromium profiles? I am in linux mint 18 and all of the profiles show in ONE icon within docky. I want different icons for each profile with the profile icon.

I'll be 'publishing' a few software projects in the near future (I'm getting a free FPGA board...and the designer would love it if I ported a few things of mine).

...but I don't want to use GitHub for reasons that fullchan will fully understand. Ideally I want to self-host the repo/blog on my own servers. A regular blogging platform (Wordpress...) would do... but I don't want to waste my time sysadminning all the dependencies on, and having to maintain them forever after (WP is a fucking pain with that).

Is there something like a "Unix-based Markup system that generates pretty HTML and works well with source code"?

1. This is a SFW board, keep your camwhores to yourself.
2. Hosting it exclusively on your own servers is a terrible way to spread programs. You want as much exposure as you can get.

What settings can I change besides the usual suspects ( band,band width,polling rate) while not having the option to go the easy route and increasing the power?

When I make k global in terms of the main function and made i just do i++ and now it loops forever.

Nevermind, found out about Dukto, it seems to do the job.

Thanks much.

What are your guys's opinion on Fedora? I'm thinking about switching from Debian to Fedora but I've used it as a live cd and it's not my favorite although what I disliked was trivial and could be changed. I'm not looking to be on the cutting edge, just a regular workstation that can be used to program.

I want to start using GNU/Linux, and I care a lot about security. TAILS seems retarded to use daily, but Qubes seems complicated for a beginner. What should I install such that the skills are transferable to TAILS or qubes. Or should I just start with qubes?

Find a distro that isn't bloat and don't be a dumb fuck when you install random programs. Even packages in the distro repo can pose a threat to your throne, use old packages. Debian is solmewhere to start looking.

This is a question for Britfags, I hope one of you is still awake. Well more specific britfags with virgin media.

I had the superhub 1 for ages, got the super hub 3 and suddenly, Linux machines are throttled, traffic that was not blocked before is suddenly blocked, and and vpn traffic is throttled as well. I had a pi I was gifted set up as a media center and used https version of sites to scrape for torrents and now https traffic gets fucked as well. The fuck is this shit? I tried to get an older hub back but they just sent me another superhub 3. Any one got any ideas of a work around. I could put it in modem mode and get a router, but it would still pick up vpn traffic and throttle it.

Also might be good to mention, on their site virgin says they only throttle upload and only at peak times. virginmedia.com/traffic/

It's best to implement the security you want. Prepackaged security can often lead to you not understanding what is actually going on unless extensive reading is done. Best bet go with a distro you're comfortable with, then install what you want. For example: hardened kernel, daily clamav scans, FDE, build everything from source you should be okay.

Could it be possible that at the time of your test, it was at peak times?

that's definitely an issue, on my phone it doesn't even appear listed as using the battery (so it's less than 1%), and I'd notice it since my battery is shit

maybe it's because the google play version, but I'm not sure

Does anyone want to give me input?

So I'm going to upgrade my PC soon, and I was wondering what does and doesn't need to be upgraded, and what to replace the obsolete parts with.
I was eyeing the Nvidia 1080
Here's my specs

Buy a used 3570k or 3770k first.

What is a good backup? I need something that is cross platform, in my situation the application needs to be able to run on Debian and Fedora and something that is somewhat easy to use. I'm tired right now and I don't want to use rsync, I'm bound to fuck something up incredibly if I do anything requiring multiple switches with command line right now.

Oh look, another Millennial who has no idea that Google has a Search feature, or how effective web-rings are.

a) the guy making the FPGA boards will be the primary site for anyone who know anything about the board
b) my projects are linked from that
c) I get 100% connection to all the people who need to know

gb2/Facebook and its 0.001% participation rate, kid.

It's probably my favorite "just werks" distro and there are multiple others here who use it as well. I've used it on my desktop for a few months now and just installed it on my thinkpad x220. Some people really hate Gnome 3 which is the default but I think it's pretty nice with a good dark theme. You can also get it with a different DE if you want (they call them "spins")

amazon.com/Intel-i5-3570-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B0083U94D8
okay, anything else?

Now consider how much money you want to spend on a graphics card and do some research.

100chan.cookiethievery.com/b/imgboard.php?res=5615

Polite bump.

There are several GUI versions of rysnc. Alternative to will have the details. Clonezilla could be another suggestion, by default it runs as a graphical terminal. However it will likely work best on offline partitions.

Long shot that anybody here knows, and the answer is probably retarded simple anyways (although I cannot find the answer in the obvious places). How does one start Conkeror (emacs-like mozilla web browser) now that xulrunner is dead and it's supposed to be started as a firefox app?

Of course, I figured it out soon after I posted this question

firefox -app /usr/share/conkeror/application.ini

Only was asking because I bought one of those godforsaken pocketchips and although I'm surprised by how well firefox runs, it could use the screenspace that conkeror provides

And actually it's iceweasel

Operating System needs upgrade

How is the RedMi notebook?

If you're trying to use linux on a windows tablet these days, I doubt that just disabling secure boot will help. I would reccomend to flash the bios with libreboot.

Im going to be venturing into linux with a new computer. Im pretty sure ill encounter problems so im thinking about partitioning and leaving win 10 on the computer so its not unusable if i fuck up linux. Are there any security implications of leaving win 10 on there if i never use it?

Dual booting windows on the same drive sucks. Just install linux and keep the USB drive around. If something goes wrong you can use it as a live disk.

sndvol.exe aka volume/volume mixer is fucking up for me

randomly it will not display when clicked
it will show up running in the task manager, but I won't be able to see the actual volume mixer
ending the task will temporarily fix it, but eventually it will stop displaying again
I have no idea why this suddenly is happening other than some recent windows updates

should I start uninstalling them, or does anyone else have a better idea?

so far I have also tried uninstalling/reinstalling audio drivers and replacing the sndvol.exe file itself, no change

reboot

I didnt think of that, much better idea, cheers.

Don't leave it there, it's just a waste of space and a potential security hazard. Linux, if you use a normie-friendly distribution is un-fuck-up-able.

delete system32

Windows 7 is very likely to be way more stable. So unfortunately your best bet is to downgrade upgrade.

What the fuck is going on?

Like when sound somehow disappeared in Ubuntu for me.

This happened to me too, the way I fixed it was by reinstalling the operating system.

I actually just found a way to solve it while fiddling.
Ezpz, just needed to read the fucking man page, does this make me a nigger?

Still shows 100% as 0.0 dB gain, but hey, it fucking works.

Why do you change your volume in the terminal? Just use up & down while you're in alsamixer


0.00 dB gain means that your volume is maxed out, -30.00 dB gain is 50% iirc.

that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard in here; if you don't use it, it's just going to use whatever the partition is using of space, it's not magically going to mess up your other partitions

"if you don't use it"
That's the key. If you don't use it, there's nothing to worry about, but if it's still there, there's a chance that you may boot into windows for whatever reason. If it's not there, the chance of booting into it is zero.
You may think you need it, but you don't. Just wipe it off.

Oh you were referring to that, my bad. Not him btw, I use Debian full time.

If it can happen, it will happen; if it can't happen it won't happen.

I usually run this to get a lossless clip of what I'm about to edit:

ffmpeg -i 1.mkv -ss 00:00:00.000 -t 00:00:00.000 -c:v huffyuv -an output.mkv

The encoding time itself is really fast, but if the clip starts at 5 seconds, it takes 5 extra seconds to do it, and if it's at the 10 minute mark, it takes 10 extra minutes to make it, like if ffmpeg would play the clip to find the timing. Is there a different approach to this?

btw that's for a formats not supported on Avidemux like HEVC or VP9.

I'm just guessing, but huffyuv is uncompressed and as you said lossless, so the files are probably very large, possibly several gigabytes in size, so it might take a while to write the clip to your HDD. What's the filesize? Do you have a weak CPU or a slow HDD?

Is there an image viewer that basically shows all images in one long page? and you can just scroll them one by one instead of left/right arrows.

i forgot the names of any of the weeb file sharing websites, anyone help me?

something like .nyaa or some shit

ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00.000 -i 1.mkv -t 00:00:00.000 -c:v huffyuv -an output.mkv

also note that this changes the form of -t to duration instead of the end-of-cut-time

Replaced laptop screen
Went fine for a bit, but started to flicker if I put the screen at some angolations
Usually disassembling and reassembling everything fixxed that for some time
Every time I did that, the monitor did pic related for some reboots, until it fixed itself without doing anything
Now it doesn't fix itself
It does this from the very start of the boot, through bios and grub and it stays like this
If I connect an external monitor via VGA or HDMI, everything is fine

Wat do Holla Forums?

How do you change the colors for urxvt? Currently it's very white and it's making me blind.

Never "rm -rf" anything. It when it's done deleting the target, it will delete the folder it's in, then the folder that's in, then the folder that's in and so on.

Quick question. I want a system where toggling the state of a GPIO lets me open and close this circuit.
I have a battery connected to a bulb and a NPN transistor. The base of the transistor is connected to a GPIO of a Beaglebone Black. The idea is that when I send a high signal to the circuit, the transistor should act as a closed switch, and when I send a low (or off) signal to the circuit the transistor acts as an open switch.
Is there anything specifically wrong with this diagram? Are there any caveats to watch out for?

put the load on the collector side of the transistor, also make sure to check out the datasheet of your transistor for maximun current ratings

There are some program that are listed in my desktop menu can't be run unless I run it in my terminal emulator. I think it has something to do with dbus daemon but I'm not really sure what's the real problem. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm on lxde btw.

One more thing, have the ground of your circuit ( - side of battery) be common with the ground of the device with the GPIO.

pomf.is recently changed to nya.is

Yes it is, I'm not sure about the technicalities, but when you convert something to that, you're not really encoding. I average 6-10 fps on my crappy laptop when converting to mp4, but with huffyuv it goes up to 100 fps; and the file is indeed huge, like 1 GB per 10 seconds (it's just for webms).


That's it, thank you!

Bullshit. It just recusively deletes folders after the specified directory.

just finished building new pc, is there anything I need to do before transferring my linux ssd? do I need to uninstall graphics drivers, anything? Both machines have an nvidia card.

Go ahead, you can't break anything. It should work.

booting the ol' 2500k one last time then ripping out the disk sacrificially, then.

I'm trying to find a way to remove as many wireless regulatory restrictions as possible from my laptop. Could someone who knows a bit more than I about radio and/or WiFi take a look at this database:
pastebin.com/gn3T0NtM

And, if you need it, this source code:
pastebin.com/2rMqxwV6

Found here:
kernel.org/pub/software/network/wireless-regdb/

And help me find either the absolute minimum restrictions possible to add to the database, or tell me how to modify the code to ignore restrictions altogether? If someone could even point me in the right direction for some more info on this I would really appreciate it.

Anyone have some blueprints of older/somewhat free and open Hardware?
CPUs/Ram modules specs would be awesome.
Are there any database like that around?

so i an msi intel core i7 4700MQ 2.4 GHZ
16GB of memory
WIndows 8 64
GeForce GTX 770M 3GB

an its driver is 332.21

so recently i tried to update the drive and thanks to that mu pc lost the ability to play ANY video in ANY video player

can some with the same specs sugest a drive that it works
so far i tried
353.30 and 375.86 both os those fucks with my pc.

4chan.org/g

why?

332.21 is like 9 years old driver.

one year (one and a half maybe)
if all the games wereworking why shoul i bother
and like i said if i tried to change things got fucked up.

I need help with the everyday question of which distro. The consensus seems to change every single fucking day, so let's go with it.

My laptop with nvidia hardware is coming in 3 hours. It comes with windows 10 trial, I will install linux, and either do that hardware passthrough thing, or dual boot for videogames.

What is the best distro for passthrough/videogames

Whats the best browser in terms of security for linux thats not tor? I thought id be able to use epic privacy browser but its not available.

What is the "other" column in uMatrix for?

Holla Forums doesn't let you post if you block it.

plug your video cable on the dedicated gpu not on the motherboard's back panel

last I checked, it does not matter where you plug it, if a dedicated gpu is connected, it should always default to it completely disregarding the integrated


Did you plug the power cable into the video card?

Is there anything wrong with antergos?

Mint just fucked itself over on (latest?) drivers twice (17, 18) so I'm looking for alternative.

I'm using Ubuntu and trying to Install Nginx, I had to remove it and reinstall it but now it's not installing for me.

The error it gives me for doing apt-get install nginx is:

dpkg: error processing package nginx (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
nginx-full
nginx
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I've tried looking it up the problem online, but it seems very common but they all have different solutions.

Judging based on pcitures of your motherboard off of google images, you can get the top AMD or Nvidia graphics card, just get a sufficient PSU.

What happens when you do "sudo apt-get install -f" without the quotations and any package after it? I think this is wrong, but if that prvious thing doesn't work you can do "sudo dpkg --configure -a". If the help menu shows up, search google voraciously with that command and variations.

First command ends with the same error.

The second command does not show the help menu, and also shows the error.

What happens when you try to install someother package because I want to see if you screwed up the package manager. If there is an error try issuing those two commands I showed. As for nginx, trying building and installing from source.

Only thing to watch out for with Antergos is that you need an Internet connection while installing it. Upside is you get to choose what DE you want, even though the ISO comes with GNOME. Aside from that it's easy enough.

I haven't tried any other distro yet, but passthrough is working flawlessly on xubuntu.

I read all the posts, but I don't think everyone can help with everything. I tried a couple of years ago with Ubuntu, and it worked fine for some crappy games, nothing fancy.

Firefox with these addons:

privacytools.io/#addons

I tried to install lynx and it put out the same error. I never messed with the package manager though.

You didn't do anything to the package manager, just broken dependencies did shit to your package manager. Did you try issuing the commands I listed? You definitely have a screwed up package manager/tool.

I tried doing the commands, but they both ended with the same error.

How does one install the opensource ati radeon drivers for Fedora? I can't find how to do it anywhere but instead, barely, on how to install the proprietary drivers. All I want to do is get Metro: Last Light working with drivers that work: the free and open source drivers.

What's the best way to hide your ip address for free?

How does line 8 work?

It starts at 3, then since i is greater than 0, shouldn't it immediately stop?

You got it backward. The middle bit is "while".
So, "While i is greater than or equal to 0"... It stops when that is no longer true.

Oh

whats the best way to expunge EXIF data from an image? are there any libre android applications to prevent it from being generated in the first place?

It's usually for media, webms won't play in the web browser is you don't enable it for Holla Forums.

exiv2
i don't know, but many cameras allow you to configure the type of EXIF data that is stored.

Copying the image then pasting into paint, and saving it gets rid of exif I found

mozjpeg's jpegtran, it can also losslessly repack them, massively reducing file size.
but if you need it on android… I think it's possible to compile it for android, but didn't try.

If the websites allow it, use Tor Browser bundle, it implements several additional measures to prevent leaking IP address and browser fingerprint.

What's the best way to move my OS from an HDD to a (smaller) SSD.
I don't want to do a fresh install.

I upgraded my work computer to Sierra. I don't know how it'll affect those programs but it's noticeably slower then it was before the upgrade.

I use Photoshop CS6. I would really prefer to use the scrubby zoom feature, but it's OpenGL exclusive. This is fine if I'm running one display, but if I connect a second, the option greys out and I can't use GPU acceleration.

Is there a way I can use both displays and have OpenGL available in PS? For reference, my main display is 3840x2160 on displayport and the second monitor is 1280x1024 on DVI. GPU is ASUS GTX760.

I'm trying to make a Windows 7 USB from an .iso.
It would appear the dd if=/etcetc of=/dev is specifically for Linux distrosts
Is there any other way to make the USB?

They don't make it easy. I wanted to send them some bitcoin last year but the provider they chose made it difficult. They said basically because they are a non-profit 501c3 organization they can't take anonymous donations or they jeopardize their status and risk IRS audits etc. So I sent them to Tails or Whonix instead.

When I wear a plaid/flannel shirt or other patterned clothing my webcam's FPS drops by more than 50% while it's streaming (flash player). FPS is butter smooth with recorded video.

Is this a behavior that people have come across before? Any advice? I've tried changing codecs/lighting/software/drivers/browsers.

Winusb also some other tools but I am not shure if they would have native GNU/Linux ports.

This should in theory work pretty well: Tails, *coin brought via prepaid card that is brought with cash (Without giving a name,wearing a none usual set of clothes and possibly wearing dark glasses/gloves/wig (possibly a one off pair, that can be burnt) at a small convience store or such, preferably not close/in a completely different area to your home with idealy a gap of at least a couple of days (or if possible a week or a month and if possible several months. The idea is to increase the chance that your individual sale is lost under others/pruned form any likely backups.) and then sent via a *coin tumbler service. Shutting down Tails after the payment is made.

i recently just built a new pc, of which i now have an sdd and hdd at the same time and i have a clean install of windows 7 now and am installing everything i need and i need to ask. is there a way to make it so the hdd is the default drive for installing programs even though the system is on the ssd? i just used ninite to install a bunch of stuff at once and didn't realize till afterward that it all installed to my ssd.

Are you tring to go full blackscreen, full command line?

Can you specify a path with ninite?

Never mind, you can't because the authors are niggers. Make your own installer you wimp.

but what about with stuff in the future. still annoying to have to specify another drive every time. its the drive i'm going to be installing to way more often. the ssd is gonna be for just games i play alot and the os. i just wanna set it to default so i dont have to specify a different disk every single time. also theres less experienced computer users in my household who wouldn't think to install on the hdds in the first place.

Wouldn't you want to install the sofware on the SSD and not the HDD? Either way, you can't specify a default drive, you're going to have to man up and click through installers. What is so hard about this? What time are you losing that you aren't already losing from games?

Please halpu.

mundane stuff like videos and pictures, and word processors and media players dont need super fast load speeds.

and its not hard just tedious. if theres nothing to be done it cant be helped. thanks though

I want to learn how to set up Tor and configure it correctly on my GNU/Linux system. I only have experience with the browser bundle.
Can someone point me into the right direction and spoonfeed me with good tutorials or guides?

No I mean, it sounds like you are installing your os on the SSD, but it sounded like you said HDD was better. But like you wanted to install software on another drive which I don't know if you are just installing word processors and video players.

I thought tor only came with the browser bundle. It's open source if you want configurability.

Win10 doesn't require a license to install and is piss easy to activate after installation through kmspico.

Avoid using microsoft's own media creation tool though, when I tried it I got a corrupted install file. Rufus.exe is a better choice.

In most cases it's just "apt-get tor" or whatever packaging system you use.

There's not much to configure. Your ISP should have documentation for how to set up a modem to work with their network. It's usually 1-2 settings that you need to change. Hell, I have kikecast for my ISP, and they have documentation for using 3rd party routers/modems.

Does anyone know how to have mpv open as a separate instance from another? For instance if did mpv video1 && mpv video2 I want 2 separate instances of mpv running.

I found that issuing multiple instances gnome-terminal -x sh -c "video1; bash" works but it depends on what terminal you are using. Does anyone have a solution?

cmd0 && cmd1 first runs cmd0 and waits for it to exit, then if it exited successfully it runs cmd1. Read about shell job control.

Hey Holla Forums. I'm trying to set up an ssh server using openssh with a port that isn't 22 using ssh.socket. I've been able to get ssh.socket to start up and listen correctly on the local address my server was given and localhost. I've got the port I want to use being forwarded by my router to the correct local address, yet I can't log in remotely (even using the local address). Here's my ssh.socket file: 18ec2ea86df43254.paste.se. Do I need ssh.service to be started before I start ssh.socket? If so, when I start ssh.service, I get this (fc890c30c1e74fa8.paste.se) error. What am I doing wrong here?

I'm using debian 8.6 if that helps.

Is there a list of bios settings needed for linux to work properly on a hp laptop? Ive tried installing a version of linux i absolutely know works as ive used it on another laptop for 2 weeks now.

I have a .raw audio file, directly from the files from a videogame, but I want to convert this to .wav, which I can then do anything else with.

Is there any way to guess or bruteforce this to de/recode the file? Some of my guesses produced a garbled noise, but it produces recognizable music in the right channel.

Give this a shot,

Your BIOS isn't likely have any influence on instability.
Based off that you have a Broadcom chip, you can either try and use nwrapper for the Windows firmware (or just do what I did after trying and failing to get it to work, use a wifi donge).
This almost always soly to do with GPU drivers, either update (sudo apt-get update) or try a differet driver.

From the wikipedia page,
0.8.7 / 23 November 2015; 11 months ago
Also another reason is likely that there isn't much demand more for it.

Also, whats the differences between the drivers? Other than 32/64 bit it looks like they are almost all the same.

Ok so I looked in journalctl and didn't find anything. I then looked in my sshd_config file and found I made a typo, so I corrected that. I then enabled ssh and looked at the status, and it is now active. (at this point i don't care about ssh.socket and id rather have it working and responding all the time than now working at all) It says it's listening on the local network address on the port I want, but I couldn't assign my IP address with the port I want. I still can't log in remotely with the local address my server has, nor my public facing IP address. I can ping the local address fine, but whenever I try to connect, the connection times out. Suggestions?

I have old Monero wallet that i retrieved. I'm not sure if there's any balance but so far gui shows 0.00000 and monerod is loading blockchain (4GB processed, maybe 10-20%). Is there a chance wallet shows more money later, or does it do some "quick sync" to determine funds available?

same user
The laptop was a Compaq (I don`t remember the model number, or any thing else as it appears that I did all searches on the device in question), after following this wiki`s (something with Linux in the title) sub section about getting wifi to work it still didn't work. I found the wiki page by searching for "Compaq $model number Linux" or something similar, so hopefully your HP is in there section. The wrapper (called Ndiwrapper or something) that I used required certain files from Window's drivers downloaded from a site. The drivers differe besides 32/64 bit, in what features they support e.g. one has PAE (enabled?), another supports Xen processors, while another has Debuging enabled etc. The one that supports your chip will help narrow your options down hopefully. It may or may not support modern kernels.

On the host, "netstat -pan" to confirm SSH is listening on the port you want. Still on the host, try to SSH to yourself by "ssh [email protected]/* */". Depending how that goes, double-check your host's firewall rules.
You might want to think twice about opening up SSH to the internet, even on a non-standard port. I wouldn't do it without first making sure password and root auth are disabled, and using a keyfile instead. But it's your host so your call, good user.

Thanks man, ufw was blocking the port. I've already made it so root login and password auth is disabled, but thanks for the suggestion anyways.

Type cvt 1920 1080 60 in your terminal
Change 1920 1080 to your desired resolution and 60 to your desired refresh rate (make sure your display supports it)

Try "xrandr --output default --gamma 1;1:1" and then again. Using "arandr", a gui for xrandr (sudo apt-get install arandr) is probably easier for you, but as i have said, it's nothing but a hack you need to fix your driver and Xorg.
Check the debian packages for your nvidia driver and install it with apt-get.

... and you need to log out of your dm to configure X, or use sudo Xorg :1 -configure instead, then X -config /root/xorg.conf.new or sudo cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If you encounter a problem sudo apt-get install --reinstall xorg & delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Pleb distros are there for a reason...

How can I keep my icecat bookmarks synced across different machines?

I have access to a server.

What is the model number? However in 95.000% of cases you should be fine as long as your PSU isn't some cheap/free one and has ideal 100(+) max wattage output than max system suggested output. This is to account for random spikes, wear and tear, upgrades etc.
Also as a legal cover GPU manafactures, suggest a may higher PSU than needed in order to make law suits from desktop`s "exploding" due to exceded power draw.

A very brute forced method would be to use rsync. A much less brute force and more fluid method would be to set up a Firefox sync (ser vice?) on the server.

hi, complete outsider to all the techie shit, it's all way beyond me. i use my shitfuck windows 8 laptop and i'm good with it most of the time
now is not one of those times.
one of my folders crashes and restarted my windows explorer when i scroll to a certain point in it. this is the only folder that does this and i've tried messing with it a few different ways, but nothing has worked and i think i've screwed it up to the point of being unfixable.
i got most of the important stuff out of the folder, but there's still things below this point that i'd like to keep, or at least make sure aren't important.

use a different file manager like total commander.

file manager?
lost me already boss. like i said, this stuff is way over my head, so much so that i'm grandpa-tier.

It protests xrandr --output default --gamma 1;1:1 (pic1)

I went on to install proprietary drivers and it went on all right. After restart I can finally use 1920x1080. In fact, it was set by default. However, I had to put custom DPI (pic2) because default was (pic3).

Is it possible that this whole ordeal has more to do with display rather than GPU drivers? Because it detects my monitor as LG 7 (pic4) while in reality it's a 32 LG TV.

including (pic4), forgot in last post

I'm a retard who can't type. It's --gamma 1;1:1 (irrelevant now)

X was not configured properly, it doesn't matter if the display is detected correctly, because you can always change the mode manually with xrandr / arandr, in the Debian settings or by editing xorg.conf.
Type xrandr --prop to see if the modi are correct.

It is --gamma 1:1:1!!

Font is the only issue though, I can't get it to work properly as on Mint or Antergos (it's either too and grainy or too big, and larger than elements that are supposed to contain it).


I tried that too before setting it, it gave me the same thing it gives now:


warning: output default not found; ignoring
xrandr: Need crtc to set gamma on.

Looks like it worked.
That's the resolution you added earlier. I forgot to tell you that you need to restart X for it to take effect -_-

VGA-0
That's your display. So instead of using "default" use --output VGA-0 to change / add resolutions, but honestly there's no need to do that if you're only going to use 1080p.

I already restarted after installing non-free drivers. Everything seems to work now, with exception of font which gives me the odd vibe (like url size). But that's good enough for me.

Thanks a lot for help. Do you care for keys on Breevy, Fences, Directory Opus, DisplayFusion or LastPass premium? archive.fo/MTjE4

I got it unredeemed on hb.

Check "Hinting" and "Sub-pixel order RGB" (default for most displays IIRC)
If you want perfect fonts, use Infinality; i am not sure if they're available on the debian repositories.
I think KDE/Plasma also had some fancy font anti-aliasing.

No, thank you.

Yeah, that did the trick especially Hinting.

If I have an image on my browser that's been deleted from Holla Forums, but is downloaded on my browser, how do I save it in icecat?

I fucked up big league

I changed font in xfce but accidently just added to old value and now every character is the size of baby head. How do i change font from terminal since its the only normal thing?

Not plugging the monitor directly to the GPU is exactly what causes that error.

That probably means you set the sample size to half what it is and it is little endian. Also try 1 channel.

I've added a non-root user to be used for stuff like storing data to my ssh server. Added my public key to the authorized keys file, etc. But when I try to log into the server with that user it falls back to the other users ssh key. How do I make it so ssh asks for the key associated with the correct user?

This is probably not the right way to do it, but I've always just passed -i "/the/key/file" to ssh.

can anyone else not see the post form for new threads? I can't seem to find it.

You are shadowbanned. See if you can create a thread using the catalog.

Yeah looks like it's a bug.


I will never get tired of this shill

I really need to clarify this post.

I've been following these set of instructions, specifically the section for LVM
ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-14.1/README_CRYPT.TXT

CFdisk reads my boot partition type as set to W95 FAT32 (LBA) and the boot flag is on.

after installing I get the error "Fatal: device-mapper: only linear boot device supported"
googling has only one remotely useful result: a CRUX help page which says I need to keep my boot partition unencrypted.

this result was zero help because my boot partition -is- unencrypted.

if I continue the guide, run mkinitrd, and edit /etc/lilo.conf, LILO still spits out the same error when I run it again.

I just want an encrypted slack system for my traveling needs.

Hello i have very high memory and cpu use after i have installed Visual studio 2015. I have uninstalled it will all its accessories it installed but the problem remains. I have disabled windows updates, chcked malware bytes for malware, scanned logs for unusual high memory usage but to no avail. When i have installed visual studio 2015 i had to restart it and when it was shutting down it installed some bootleg windows fix.

Should i reinstall my windows or is there final solution to this?

Well your first problem is that you're not part of the W8.1 masterrace

Second is that you didn't even list memory by usage in your task manager you faggot

Why would you go out of your way to make it hard for people to help you

The firefox has highers memory usage other programs below have like 1k-5k memory usage and there is only several of them

What's the best browser for smartphones? FF is a piece of shit.

I know motherboards list the types of RAM they can accept on the store page, but PCpartpicker is labeling many more even though it these types of RAM weren't listed on the store page.

For example on a store page for a motherboard that says a motherboard's memory is "DDR4 DIMMs 3400(OC)/ 3333(OC)/ 3110(OC)/ 3000(OC)/ 2800(OC)/ 2750(OC)/ 2666(OC)/ 2600(OC)/ 2400(OC)/ 2200(OC)/ 2133" PCpartpicker say the ones even past 3400 are compatible. Like 3466 all the way to 4266.

Can someone help explain?

I don't suppose anyone here knows how to nuke the "search the store" option from the "open with" context menu in win10? Removing the 09799AFB-AD67-11d1-ABCD-00C04FC30936 CLSID removed the icon but not the entry and the only other proposed solutions I've been able to find online have only removed the text (but still not the entry) or have only been applicable to win8 or earlier versions of windows.

I don't know really how this works so I wanted to know, is it safe to download other torrents like movies and tv shows like I always do on my main torrent site or am I on a "watch list" or something ?

Depends on your ISP but most of them don't give a shit, they just serve the letters.

Your ISP may try to throttle your download speed. Apart from that nothing is going to happen.

I know windows has shortcuts like
Super+1

for accessing the first and second program window in the taskbar. Is there something like this for XFCE?

(heil)
Not by default but there are shortcuts for switching workspaces.

I use shortcuts for switching workspaces.

I open more than one window on a single workspace (Like, one workspace is for file managers, another for web browsers, etc) ehich is a problem.

There's probably something in xfce itself, but if there isn't trying checking out xdotool which has some of that stuff. I'm looking into it now also.

that's way too much work, and is completely useless if you have a floating taskbar.

I am going crazy over this. I can't seem to install windows 7 on my laptop.
It have no CD drive and only USB3.0
I have tried plenty of "usb 3.0 compatible isos", and currently am trying to boot from the harddrive

The issue is, from USB I can get to the "installing windows thingy", but when I get to choose the installation device, it tells be to fuck myself because no fucking drivers
When I boot from the HD, It gets stuck at that "Starting Windows" animation and stops there.

I am trying to install it from Ubuntu, because nothing in Linux seems to work on the first time. Unity runs like shit, most addons are broken (like fluvio), there is no Visual Studio or equivalent

I am starting to consider installing windows 10, which this machine came with. I desperately need help (VT-d is not fucking working, so no emulation at 95%, I guess it was not the smartest idea to assume that there would be linux drivers for fucking laptops)

Posting this as I try my last attemp for today, using unetbootin-linux-494 to make a bootable USB, then copying the files to the HD partition

None fucking worked, because fuck me.

The [UEFI ON] USB gave the fucking "can't find /efi/microsoft/boot/ebc" or something message
The [UEFI ON] Partition got stuck at the windows starting animation (the animation freezes)
Both the [UEFI OFF] USB and Partition just said "not a bootable drive, press any key to fuck yourself"

Is there a non pozzed way to use Windows 10?

I want to avoid it like the pleague, but Ubuntu(16.04) is now telling me that FUCKING SUDO crashed just after I logged in, didn't even knew it was an application that could somehow crash
Wine don't work, PlayOnLinux don't work. Shit's fucked

Second day trying to install Windows 7. Gonna try more tomorrow night, unless you guys give me an idea I didn't try before I go to sleep

If you post your motherboard details, I will create a custom .iso with your USB/what ever else drivers included in the installer. Also optionally Daz and the Rollup.

yep, that was exactly the problem.

working fine now, thank you!

I hate technology sometimes.

So, I have a couple of issues:

1) I recently build a new, relatively powerful PC for playing vidya and screwing around with 3D modelling and sound editing, and put Windows 7 on it (I can't be bothered having to wrestle Linux every time I try to run a modern game on it, plus I'm not doing anything private on it that NSA would give two shits about). Everything seems to be fine, except after I installed a bunch of updates the other day, and then suddenly noticed that my SSD has lost about 20 gigs of free space.

I poked around a bit, deleted some unnecessary shit that was left over from other software and files that I simply forgot to get rid of, did a disk cleanup and defragmentation, and ran an antivirus (which found nothing), and managed to recover about 11 or so gigs. Thing is, it can't be the Windows 7 updates suddenly taking up this much space, because they are usually minor and counted in megs. So anyone know some good ways besides the Control Panel and Windows Search for checking what stuff got recently installed on my PC so I can see if it is just some harmless updates or malicious garbage?

2) I have an older Toshiba Satellite P750 laptop which has Windows 10 on it, but I planned to install Ubuntu on it after getting my new PC (good thing too, since the latest Windows 10 update made it slow as shit). So I burned the latest Ubuntu version onto a disk, booted from it on my laptop, and set it to install, then went to make tea, came back, and the computer's turned off by itself. OK, maybe it finished wiping all of the drives of the Windows plague and finished installing Ubuntu. Boot it up, get an "Insert boot media into proper boot device..." message, OK, so Windows is gone apparently, but no Ubuntu in sight, so it seems the computer just turned off by itself mid-installation.

Maybe the battery's just weak, but it doesn't make sense because nothing of the sort happened while I was using Windows 10 only a couple of hours before. Trying to install Ubuntu again from the disk, except the stupid machine doesn't recognize the disk and displays the same "Insert boot media..." message. Go into BIOS, change the boot order to boot from CD/DVD automatically instead of having to go the F12 route, now I just have the laptop stuck on the Toshiba logo screen that says "Leading Innovation" whenever I turn it on.

A little help, Holla Forumsnomancers?

I have no idea how to check that. Unfortunately I also had the great idea to buy a pre-built computer

I bought the avell.com/fullrange-g1746-iron-v3 on the BR site, not sure if the only difference is the price, for reference: avell.com.br/fullrange-g1746-iron

Is there any linux command to list the hardware?
Just googled it. Here is the HardInfo report, anonymized: pastebin.com/CwPwShUh

Although it does not tell you what was recently installed, it makes easy to know what's taking up space.
windirstat.net/

Don't delete the installers in the windows folder. You will regret in 4 years when you can't update, for instance, nodejs because it fucking needs to uninstall the old version that you don't have the installer anymore

I was trying to see if I could figure out which was my motherboard.

Now I won't feel guilty for changing from Ubuntu that I almost sorta but not really got used to. Too much bullshit all the time

Cross fingers that it shouldn't be to hard to find the drivers for it. I assume it was a self built desktop like mine is. With that setup you could potentially try PICE-passthrough. I am likely to be wrong here but did you select the BIOS boot option when selecting the installer?

Hasn't any Window`s developers heard of overwriting files rather than reinstalling?

I tried both USB and Partition boots in UEFI enabled and UEFI disabled (Which I assume is legacy boot), or rather, as you can see in the report boot section. I spent the yesterday night and today's night constantly changing all kinds of things and rebooting to see if I could get anywhere. The closest was a legacy USB boot that failed due to no USB 3.0 drivers, so the installer couldn't read the files it needed to load.

I wonder if I could install it on a virtual machine, and then copy the contents of the virtual machine HD and try to boot that. Although I assume it will fail due to the virtual machine installing and configuring based on a virtual set of hardware, and suddenly changing to real hardware might make it fail, not to mention those boot sector thingies I don't understand anything besides the name

That always confused the fuck out of me. You'd think it'd be way easier to code an update to just replace a few bits here and there where the original and the new version don't match, rather than having to uninstall the whole shebang and install it all over again. NVidia does the same thing with their driver updates, and it makes me wonder if their developers are masochists.

I'd like to use a Rasberry Pi to see if I could make a Wi-Fi network that's connected to my router, but run it through my VPN. Is it possible? Does anyone have a guide?
(ex: to join my VPN instead of typing in the username and password, just connect to the Wifi network named secure_wifi)

I want this so my family members and friends can be on a secure network that my ISP doesn't see without me having to explain how to connect to my VPN.

Help. I have a virus/adware and cannot remove it. I have tried Malwarebytes,Adwcleaner,MSE in safe mode but it doesn't work, its not detected. Also it pozzs my browser by adding Amisites or some other crap to my search engine

Is there an alternative to Google Maps for android phones with less botnet? Specifically, something that stores maps and computes directions locally. The only radio it should be using is GPS.

Pic only slightly related.

Look for an antivirus you can boot from a CD or flash drive. I think AVG Rescue CD is one but IDK how good it is. You could also boot a Linux live CD and run ClamAV/ClamTK.

does it even work if you just byte copy windows-7 DVD iso to usb? I remember trying this and failing to install from it.
just google dd for windows

It works, but he needs to flag the USB stick as bootable.

There's a program called isotousb that works. But it's freeware instead of FOSS, so it could fuck your shit up.

manually partition the HDD and use a virtual machine on a working OS to do the first part of the setup on it (don't let it start back up on the VM when it reboots), sounds spooky but the installer won't touch partitions it doesn't understand and since you manually partitioned it won't touch that either. After that just reboot host and it'll continue the installation.
None of the precautions matter if you use a different drive for the working OS, the important thing is to not let it reboot in the VM.

you mean byte copying to a partition, then. What I tried was byte copying it straight to the flash drive, overwriting everything from the beginning including its partition table, the same way every other bootable DVD ISO has always worked.
It did boot, the flash drive working as a DVD, it just couldn't install as at some point it "didn't find the DVD"
you need to make a special procedure to make a "USB install media" from the DVD ISO when it comes to windows 7, it includes having a working windows installation at hand.

Is there any tiling window manager that allows for margins. In LXDE, my programs sometimes go over the border, but I can just set up some margins and let it be. Can I do that with i3 somehow? Awesome? Anything else?

I don't think that's normal in LXDE or any other WM. I'd look into solving that issue tbh.

Thunar has a really irritating issue that I've recently become aware of. Apparently you cannot delete files when you access a directory from a symlink... Including any time you access a folder from a desktop shortcut. What the fuck, really?

Anyone know if there's a fix for this?

I'm having an issue compiling i3-gaps/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../../lib64/libasan.so: undefined reference to symbol '[email protected]/* */_2.2.5'/lib64/libpthread.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command linecollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusMakefile:1587: recipe for target 'i3bar/i3bar' failedmake[1]: *** [i3bar/i3bar] Error 1make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....make[1]: Leaving directory '/hdd/downloads/gaps/build'Makefile:1242: recipe for target 'all' failedmake: *** [all] Error 2 any idea what's going on here? I can compile regular i3 just fine.

Do you have r/w access of the symlink? Does your user own it?

What distro are you on? Try a dev or beta or unstable version, see if it's fixed

Yes and yes.


Xubuntu 16.04 here. Thunar 1.6.10. Maybe I should mosey on down to one of the freenode channels and annoy some developers.

I wasn't able to recreate the bug in Thunar 1.6.10
I created the symlinks with ln -s and deleting and creating files and directories worked just fine. (lrwxrwxrwx)
It's a permission problem imho.

Is that xampp package from apache website botnet? I really need something like that on linux.

How hard is it to install mysql and apache with mod_php yourself?

I think I may be retarded. This screenshot is from my old install, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get compton working like i did there. My i3 config reads exec -no-startup-id compton -CGb --config ~/.compton.confand compton.conf hasbackend = "glx";paint-on-overlay = true;vsync = "opengl-swc";xrender-sync = true;xrender-sync-fence = true;shadow = false;menu-opacity = 1.0;inactive-opacity = 0.5;active-opacity = 1.0;inactive-opacity-override = true;fading = true;fade-delta = .5;fade-in-step = 0.03;fade-out-step = 0.03;inactive-dim = 0.4;opacity-rule = ["80:class_g = 'urxvt'"];but it doesn't seem like my compton setting are even being loaded. And don't I need [80] or something after the hex color code in my .Xresources to specify the alpha? When I try that, it just makes the background hot pink. I really just want to die, I already had this shit figured out and didn't remeber to backup my configs correctly.

Did some more testing and apparently it only happens with the top level directly symlinked. Make a desktop shortcut to urstorage/blahblah and access it through that and you won't be able to delete files in blahblah. If you navigate from the shortcut down to blahblah/lowerdirectory/ however, you can delete anything there fine.

Okay that wasn't clear enough. Here's a real example of my own:

The real directory is
/media/user/Storage Partition/Video Editing/

The symlinked directory from a desktop shortcut is
/home/user/Desktop/Video Editing/

From Thunar, I can delete anything from /media/user/Storage Partition/Video Editing/ just fine. I cannot delete stuff from /home/user/Desktop/Video Editing/. Deleting things at a lower level such as /home/user/Desktop/Video Editing/Emulation/ also works fine.

Fixed this, I went from slackware 14.2 to current and was able to compile then.

the correct parameter is --no-startup-id change it or remove it

I was playing FO4 and suddenly I had vertical green bars going through my screen. I tried using another monitor and updating drivers, cleaning in out with an air duster and checked connections and everything is distorted and pixelated on my screen. I did a system restore to about two weeks ago and now I'm getting an system service exception error with blue screen once I log onto Windows. Is my hardware fucked?

I should add that I can run Windows on safe mode, but there's green pixelation.

What's the temperature of your GPU? How does it smell and look? I'd say your GPU is fried, but i can't say for sure. Test it in another PC before you throw it out.

That's bullshit, but I believe it.

Gonna try that before going with:
1) Install Win8.1
2) Use: downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25476/Windows-7-USB-3-0-Creator-Utility
3) Try to install win7

I'm can't run gpu-z in safe mode, so I have no idea how to find the tempature. When I the gpu out yesterday it looked fine, but I don't know that much about computers beyond building, installing software and basic troubleshooting, so that doesn't mean much.

FUCKING HELL

I made the raw virtual drive with the command:
sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "/home/redacted/disk.vmdk" -rawdisk /dev/sdb3RAW host disk access VMDK file /home/redacted/disk.vmdk created successfully.

It does have the correct size, why the fuck the windows 7 installation can't find it?

I am going to ask right now, as it seems it's either broken Ubunto or Windows10 for me

Is there a way to 'fix' Windows10?

Tried all the drivers in the world, even googling the names of the things and downloading the win7 version.

This fucking machine is not Win7 Compatible, and it's fucking broken on Linux

Botnet10 here I go, I guess

How can I get youtube-dl to stop writing the video's URL into its name?

I just mistyped, it is --no-startup-id. I've gotten transparency working by substituting the hex value in my .Xresources with an rgba, although I can't seem to get it to match the solarized-dark color, so I've left it black for now (if anyone wants to give me the rgba for #002b36 at 80% opacity, feel free to tell me, I can't figure out why it's 4 digits instead of 3 for the rgba code).

My new problem is that inactive-dim doesnt seem to work, and I've trimmed my config down to backend = "glx";vsync = "opengl-swc";shadow = false;inactive-dim = 0.2;inactive-dim-fixed = true;since the other shit was unnecessary.

These are VRAM artifacts, right? I'm assuming my GPU is fucked?

How do I fix this? I'm running latest version of antergos xfce

youtubel-dl -o filename URL.url.com

in case any1 was wondering, yes i tried googling it. I used this sudo-juice.com/lightdm-resolution/ and it didnt help at all.

Get a list of your connected displays with xrandr -q and then xrandr --output display1 --right-of display2 (or --left-of, depending on which is which)
xrandr --output VGA1--right-of HDMI1
Take a look at all the other posts about xrandr ITT.

When I first installed debian, the screen was larger than the monitor, you had to scroll up or down with the mouse to see certain parts of the screen, but just setting it back to the monitor's default size worked out fine once I did the margins.
Same thing happened in i3, I tried changing the resolution in xrandr, but it outright cut off the bottom part of the screen, locking my monitor into the top two thirds of the screen. The opposite of what has, instead of having too much empty monitor space, I have too little.
So yeah, I have no fucking clue what's wrong there.

Those two look kinda cool, but I think tmux is 2ASCII-punk4me, and I'd rather have the tilebars. Might try i3-gaps out though.
Still, if anyone has a fix for the scrolling in i3, I'd prefer that.

Sorry for being a retard, but symlink what to cpp? g++ is out of the question since it's not in repositories and I suppose it would be even harder to get it than this.

I think I sort of understand what I need to do but not really. Apparently the problem with gcc-c++ as opposed to g++ is that the former compiles c as c and c++ as c++ while the latter goes c++ for everything. In my plebian understanding. So what you propose makes some sense in abstract but I'm nowhere near understanding what exactly I'm supposed to do.


Help

Suppose I need a way to print posters or flyers anonymously. How would I go about doing that?

Buy used printer, wear gloves.

It looks fried to me. You can get a "clearer" picture by messing with your resolution and refresh rate, but if you see artifacts while your pc boots, your GPU is fried. You could try underclocking it and reseating your heatsink, but chances are that it is cooked

Thanks, anons. Decided to purchase a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G. It'll quite the upgrade from my current 7970.

So, Holla Forums, I came across a positively bizarre problem with Xterm while distro hopping, and trying out Arch.
Since I like the Molokai color theme for terminal settings, I set it in the ~/.Xresources file, and do the typical xrdb -load ~/.Xresources but xterm doesn't play nice, and I spend a while digging around trying to figure out if I fucked up something.

So, I try this: $ tput colors$ 8 I try getting Xterm to use xterm-256color in Xresources, but I load it again using xrdb and this happens: $ echo $TERM$ xterm
I start getting frustrated, and dig around.
I find this: xaizek.github.io/2013-04-14/howto-set-xterm-256color-term-in-slackware/
Which is reasonably helpful, I try what he did # in old instance[~]$ xterm -tn xterm-256color# in new instance[~]$ tput colors8[~]$ echo $TERMxterm
And then
# in old instance[~]$ xterm -tn xterm-color# in new instance[~]$ tput colors8[~]$ echo $TERMxterm-color
So, it works for xterm-color, but not xterm-256color. Because of that, I tried setting termName to xterm-color, but that doesn't work either. What the fuck exactly is going on?
Also, I got stuck when he started bringing up termcap, because there is no termcap, and apparently Arch favors use of terminfo now, which is uncharted territory for me.

Full ~/.Xresources file:
XTerm*termName: xterm-256color! Molokai ThemeXTerm*colorMode: onXTerm*dynamicColors: onXTerm*background: #101010XTerm*foreground: #d0d0d0XTerm*cursorColor: #d0d0d0XTerm*color0: #101010XTerm*color1: #960050XTerm*color2: #66aa11XTerm*color3: #c47f2cXTerm*color4: #30309bXTerm*color5: #7e40a5XTerm*color6: #3579a8XTerm*color7: #9999aaXTerm*color8: #303030XTerm*color9: #ff0090XTerm*color10: #80ff00XTerm*color11: #ffba68XTerm*color12: #5f5feeXTerm*color13: #bb88ddXTerm*color14: #4eb4faXTerm*color15: #d0d0d0

Also, I did see ways of switching it around using bashrc, but I would rather understand what is actually going on than doing a quick-and-dirty and potentially bug-causing method of fixing it.

Okay, this is even stranger, alsamixer uses the correct color config that I set up. Xterm doesn't. Even though it's set in the ~/.Xresources file, and alsamixer is clearly reading that, while xterm won't read its own fucking file properly.

Why aren't you using xterm-256color then?
export TERM=xterm-256color

Btw, you can use the same color theme in urxvt (rxvt-unicode) by adding it to .Xdefaults

urxvt*background: #101010
urxvt*foreground: #d0d0d0
*color0: #101010

etc...

how is Linux gaming coming along? i don't think i can live with windows much longer

Let me interject for a moment and ask you one question
Are you keeping up with GNU/Linux or is GNU/Linux keeping up with you?

store.steampowered.com/linux
~ 6000 Linux titles. Very few exclusives. Lot's of strategy games, puzzles, etc. Very few action games, Very few "AAA" titles.

gamingonlinux.com

I should add that these are almost exclusively native titles. No emulation required.

Don't do it is my advice to you. I came over from win7 with 400gb of games... now I'm on Manjaro and I do have steam installed but getting the games to play like on windows is a hassle imo. For example getting addons for m&b warband is near impossible, I have no sound even though I've tried all the known fixes and the fps is 1/3 of what it is on windows. (~120 csgo on linux, capped at 300 on windows)

I've had no positive suprises when it comes to gaming on linux... it wasn't designed for it and I'm not going to whine too much either tbh.

It depends on the game and how good the port is. Games that were designed with Linux in mind run very smoothly, often better than on Windows.

youtube.com/watch?v=YM8qXbJqMvs

Yes this is true but only in the future will it become a real driving force, native linux games. All I'm really saying is that people shouldn't switch to linux expecting the _same_ gaming experience... on linux it's going to be a lot more crude and usually the vanilla game will be your only option.

Some more game benchmark comparisons:
youtube.com/watch?v=ldEXGNtq1DA
youtube.com/watch?v=N9C1c9G1cRY

so it's still pretty bad. is there anything big down the line or do we just have to hope for the best?

That's the problem, TERM is forced back to 8-color Xterm every time I try that, through various methods. Even when I open a new terminal explicitly running 256color the TERM variable remains Xterm, but only for 256color. Xterm-color doesn't have that issue on opening a new terminal, but the variable doesn't stick if I set it as termName under Xresources.

I am trying to set up cock.li email with mutt, offlineimap, and notmuch. I've gotten the receiving and viewing set up, but I'm lost on sending. Can anyone give me some pointers?

That's no good, I want to download a playlist.

After some digging around I found the problem.
It was a combination of xterm != XTerm oversight on my part in the Xresources file for termName, and the fact that i3 uses i3-sensible-terminal as the default on the Mod-Enter terminal shortcut. Changing both to xterm solved the issue.

I have an old computer barely running Windows that want to install a free OS on.
Now, assuming my threat level is the NSA, ZOG, KGB, ATF and SPLC having pozzed it with spyware throughout the years, maybe even at boot level, how can I do a clean and safe install? Should I flash my BIOS? If so, how (preferably using FOSS)? Should this be done through a live CD/ write-protected USB live install of some Linux distro? The next step would be to securely wipe the HDDs, right?

What is the most paranoid way of installing Gentoo?

...

How do I install libreboot (or some non-tranny equivalent) on the old computer while making sure it's not being altered? Through Windows, a live install or during the real install?

Before installing GNU/Linux. Libreboot is a BIOS, meaning you flash it and configure it and it boots your OS, so you would need to configure it to boot a Linux kernel before the GNU/Linux distro is installed.

How do I into IP Camera spying? It seems like a comfy way to while away some time at 4AM.

I got a really cheap potato to replace my current laptop, seeing as it is crumbling to dust before my eyes. Unfortunately, it comes with W10, I guess it couldn't be helped. I'll probably dualboot it, but there's some things I should probably ask before I start fiddling with it.

Any suggestions for a good premium VPS? Must have completely anonymous payment options ala mullvad.

The tonfoilers on this hat has fearmongered me into believing systemd is the devil. Please recommend an OS without it Holla Forumspriests! Is void good?

Sounds mechanical, like it is one of the fans. Gently stop one with your fingers, when it is making that noise to see which one.

Really stupid question here, but what is the easiest way to render a computer permanently inoperable and hard drive completely irrecoverable without buying anything? Preferably without taking it apart either. Even better if it's not immediately obvious what happened.

I was thinking of holding it up to the microwave for a while. (Not actually putting it inside) Would that do anything?

Magnets will fuck up storage media, and any circuit can be destroyed by running AC power through it with enough voltage to blow the capacitors and resistors.

I don't exactly have any high powered magnets. Do you think a fridge door would be strong enough?

Some of it might be recoverable, lots would get corrupted though.

Archbang is pretty good, but it's not a beginner distro.

What about void? I've only used babbydistros like ubuntu

If I may bring in a third respective, of someone who uses Void as my main driver.It depends on what you mean by beginner. Void has a installer that works 99.99% of the time however it is barebones. Also documention is lacking in some areas. Also some times I get annoyed at how dependices are done. However overall I would defintly recommend it.

So I've bought myself a laptop with a 128Gb SSD and a 500Gb HDD. I'm installing linux for the first time on it. when I finish the install, it only recognises the SSD as an internal drive. Does anybody know how to sort this? Is it a partitioning issue or should i clean install again?

The HDD was not detected?
What's the oupout of "lsblk" or "sudo fdisk -l" ? My guess is that all you have to do is mount /dev/sdb

Sorry, that's somewhat of a misrepresentation. It is showing as a external device. it is also no listed under '/' so i cant install programs to it.

What does that even mean? The HDD is inside of your laptop,.. Does it work?

I don't know what that is supposed to mean either. Is it mounted or not?

post output of the commands in

Your harddrive is still there, no worries. All you have to do is partition it, format it and mount it, preferably in that order.

/dev/sdb is your 500gb HDD
There's your problem. Follow the steps in and then do

sudo apt-get install gparted
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
mkdir /mnt/HDD500 (or whereever you want to mount it)

then add this line to /etc/fstab to mount it automatically
UUID=0A6BC93C-BE6B-4AF9-95D3-9BFEFE4A4D54 /mnt/HDD500 ntfs rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

exiv2 rm filename.jpg

many thanks user. I'll try this tomorrow and see what happens

I think if you install the ntfs driver it should be detected automatically on most distros.

Decent public trackers?
Short story is for the past 3 years i've been abroad and the most i've interacted with the internet is to check my e-mail like once a month or so.
So i;ve been out of the loop when it comes to what trackers have become severely compromised, and while I'm working to get into some private trackers, it takes a bit of time. And i'm looking to enjoy some of the media i've missed these last few years

It's a base64 encoded string. You can tell because it ends with an "=".

Using the tool at base64decode.org/ tells you that it decodes to:

Even something like "apt-get install ffmpeg" won't work.
I always get the same error:
Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, oris only available from another source
Standard debian packages work flawlessly though. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

Some more fiddling later, flashplugin-nonfree worked, but not ffmpeg. Is there some special way you denote backports?

building my mom a pc and im stuck iv built tones on pc before but never encountered a problem like this. when i try to install windows i get the "no drivers found" error just past the language setup. btw im using a external cd reader to install. iv tried to downlode the drivers onto a usb then select them from the menu but it wont recognize it and iv tried all ports. also tried using usb to install windows with an updated iso but i get the same error. the specs are a gigabyte z170x-ud3 ultra mobo , i5 cpu, 8gb of ddr4, a wd blue 1tb, and h80i. plz help

Also you have to install it with

So earlier I made a post about an iso not being bootable from my flash drive. Not sure if it's still in the thread or not, but I found a solution that some of you might find helpful.
askubuntu.com/questions/791238/how-to-convert-a-iso9660-iso-to-a-usb-iso/808623
Basically, iso's are designed to boot from CDs, but not always with hard disks in mind. Once the iso is made into a hybrid iso that is bootable from CD and disk, it can be written to a disk and booted like it would from CD.

I'm getting this graphical glitch in Blender. Know how to fix it? I can't work on anything like this. Mousing over elements makes different parts flash and sometimes I can even see my taskbar menu in the background even if I've not opened it for the current session. It's weird.

Can somebody answer this?

any good chromium addons to save custom CSS for websites?

Never heard of that before. I doubt it unless the upload/downloader is embedded on the site or is otherwise not handled by your standard download/upload manager.

So when you upload/download something you don't leak the file path and file directory?
That's really hard to believe, how would they know what file to send to the browser otherwise?

"They" are not downloading the files from your computer, you are uploading it to their server. That's why "they" don't need to know anything about the history or location of your basketweaving pictures.

The filename is sent, but the path isn't.

Thank you Holla Forums bros, I am one step closer to my final form

alternative to terminator?
WHY DOES SPLITTING A TERMINAL ADDS A FUCKING SCROLLBAR NOW

I assume that you are looking for a bloated terminal emulator that allows splitting, so let me suggest terminology. If you are not looking for bloat, you should simply use urxvt with a tiling manager or tmux.

So I'm extracting audio from a video using ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i input -vn -acodec copy output-audio.aac

Which as I understand, should be ripping the pure audio from the video
But I swear it sounds better when the video is played on MPC-hc than when I'm listening to the ripped audio in foobar

Am I crazy or is this normal?

Well, why don't you listen to it on MPC-hc (you crazy windows fagit) instead of foobar? The command you posted copies the audio from the container, the only reason it sounds different is because you used a different player.

This is relevant to my interests.

(Checked)
To answer your question, (off the top of my head) rutracker sounds like it will fit for general needs. There is a list of them in >>>Holla Forums `s share thread OP, in check before posting. Most of them will be a game related however there is a music one that only deals in flac. Most of them likely be a "proper" tracked as they just provide a page for the magnet with details on it.

Make sure the hard drive is working by booting from some Livecd.
Check bios and disable RAID mode etc.

Does it have to do with the ffmpeg/avconv situation? debian switched to avconv then back to ffmpeg.

Is there a way for me to code/make android games on my android phone?

I know I can make games for android on my pc but I have my phone with me everywhere so it would be very convenient for me to be able to make games on the go.

How the fuck do I fix this?
Alternatively what's a good equivalent replacement for Paint.net, preferably one that has an option for Ordered-Bayer dithering?

Worked, thank you user.

you're missing some library, try Krita as a replacement, though some newer versions have some issues with lag. Use the latest version if your CPU (the lag is because krita doesn't have any GPU acceleration yet) can handle it. 1.8 (I think) works wonders even on potatoes.

So. I need help with ubuntu 16.10 (updated kernel to 4.8.10-040810-generic), because it decided to tell me to fuck myself yet fucking again.

I am trying to set up that passthrough thing, right in the middle of the ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2266916 I decided to check the IOMMU groups, and I noticed the distinct lack of my fucking HD Graphics 530, here is the output: pastebin.com/7fCcDyVi

After a bit of fiddling, i've managed to force inframs(or something) to load the i915 module, which it didn't want to (it was missing from /sys/modules).
I added i915 to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and ran update-initramfs -u

running lspci -nnk 'proves' me that the GPU is indeed in my machine (output: pastebin.com/EX36U8dc), although it is loading with pcieport rather than i915 (I have no idea what I am doing)

I tried to use Intel Graphics Update tool for Linux, and it resulted in pic related, telling me that the card is indeed there, but I should eat shit because reasons

I am trying to set up the fucking integrated card so that when I pass the GForce 1070 to windows, the linux will be running on it, rather than software mode. At least that's how I think this works

What's a good budget for a gaming PC that will run current gen games on at least medium?

Depends on where you live/what do you want to do.
If you live in the US and only want to play games, I think ~700 would be more than enough for a good GPU, a SSD, a somewhat cheap CPU and a cheap K/M, if you don't have them already.

I'll try to find parts for a 700 +/- 50 budget. It's kind of overwhelming to have so many parts to choose from.

Use newegg to find the parts, it lets you know if they fit with each other. Their parts are sold by third parties, so I don't know how trustworthy it'd be.
I'd recommend going about it like this
1- GPU
Use those graphics card comparisons and get the one you think is best for you
2- CPU
Use comparisons, take the one it's cheapest while still being good enough (that is, unless you plan on encoding videos and whatnot.)
3- MOBO
Take a motherboard that can be used with the GPU and CPU you choose. Doesn't have to be the most expensive, but don't take the cheapest either, leave some room for future upgrades.
4- SSD/HDD
I'd recommend a SSD, but a HD is fine.
5- PSU
See how much energy the PC you build consumes, get a PSU a bit above that for future upgrades.
6- Case
Anything that can fit the MOBO type in.

Also, in case you don't know.
GPU- Graphics Card
CPU - processor
MOBO - motherboard
PSU- power supply

currently got the building guide from the sticky up as I chose parts. Newegg better than pcpartpicker?

Yeah, it's pcpartpicker the one you should use.
I fucked up the names.

I haven't had good luck with Krita. It seems to geared more toward drawing rather than sprite editing. I really need something that basically MSPaint + layers and a few other features. The damnedest thing is that Paint.net still launches after a delay and from what I can tell that dll is a Win8 thing and I'm on Win7, so I don't know what's going on.

How's this: pcpartpicker.com/list/7nRLcc
The most taxing game I'll probably be playing is Witcher 3 since my brother in law got it for me as a birthday gift.

That GPU is a bit overkill if all you're going to play is Witcher 3, but, if you can afford it, it's fine. You'll probably won't need to change it for a long time.
Might up the CPU a bit though. try something ~3.5GHz.

Hi Tech,

Can one of you recommend me some good free software to make my own CDs for music?

pcpartpicker.com/list/2Kj3wV

It's mostly good.
Just one thing I forgot, do you plan on upgrading your RAM any time soon?
If you do, it's fine, just buy the same 8GB one you bought when you do. If not, then it's better to buy 2 4GB sticks.
RAM gets a boost when you use two equal sticks, so it's better than going with a single one.

Did not know that. I guess I'll keep that upgrade option open in case an amount bigger than 8 gigs becomes the new requirement.

Repostan from half Chan
What the fuck. Randomly it just shut down and nothing worked until I took the gpu out and put in the backup. This happened fucking twice and now it won't even work with integrated graphics. I asked on leddit and toms hardware but no cunts are responding.

Try taking the GPU out and putting it in another motherboard to test to see if the mobo is the problem

I need to install windows on my cousin's laptop, I only have the cd image. USB ports dont work, and I'd rather not buy a whole cd pack for this. Is there any other way to do it?

Move HD to a different computer than has working USB and install there. Move back when done.

what keyboard key outputs ^@ in a terminal? for some reason, when my laptop gets really hot, it keeps printing those characters over and over.

And I thought I had strange problems

the red thing on my thinkpad came out. how I put it back in?

Bump

Do keep in mind that you can have more than 2 sticks of ram in most motherboards. The one you chose has 4.

Truecrypt or veracrypt?

is denuvo fucking up SSDs just a meme? assuming the previous question is true, what would it do to a normal hard drive?

Does anybody have a working solution for capturing as an image (yeah it's going to be huge and tall) an entire say 750 post thread on Holla Forums?

I've been trying to capture this one (as an image, yeah, I'm aware of save page with images, but even trying to capture that as an image afterwards fails). I've tried all of the major addons/plugins for chromium and firefox, and also installed shutter and gnome-web-photo and clicked the globe icon in shutter and input the url. I end up with a png that is 143kb (seems awfully small) and opens as all grey if it opens at all.

stackoverflow.com/questions/13158083/take-a-full-page-screenshot-with-firefox

Example thread would be 8ch.net/pol/res/8431829.html

Of course the first thing I tried was this sites "Screencap" function which (no matter if in firefox or chromium) just seemed to go out of control unresponsive with a memory leak or something, going up 7gb of usage.

I always used addons like Nimbus Screenshot to do this in the past, but for some fucking reason it doesn't work and nothing does.

I would have imagined at least Shutter with gnome-web-photo would work, and it makes a long grey nothing png. At least, when previewed in my file manager I see a long thing with about appropriate dimensions but opening it there's nothing.

What is up here?

It seems to be something with dimensions but is there some strict limit on dimensions on png or jpg images?

Even if I tell shutter to use BMP I end up with a 100mb+ bmp with the right dimensions but nothing for display

I even tried the built in stuff in firefox and it doesn't work

Shift+F2 and type 'screenshot --fullpage test.png

And I used to be able to capture 750 post threads with any addon in firefox. Now it doesn't work even in chromium or other solutions. WTF?

If you connect a monitor to an i915 output, does Ubuntu initialize it and can you set it up as a desktop? The driver should be in the kernel already so you shouldn't have to mess with it. If you can, you should be good to go. i915 not showing up in IOMMU shouldn't be a problem because you're planning on passing the nvidia through, not the Intel so I'd just ignore it. Otherwise check to see if you have the intel_iommu=igfx_off kernel option set and remove it.


Veracrypt


Probably a meme unless there's something about Denuvo that makes it constantly write GBs of data.
If it's constantly writing data on a mechanical HD it might be kind of slow but won't hurt the HD.

Someone please help.

fatal error: glm/glm.hpp: No such file or directory #include "glm/glm.hpp"
but i have the library installed, what the hell is going on

Having a library installed usually means having the .so installed. To compile against it you also need the headers. On most distros there is a separate package called libary-dev or library-devel

So, I've followed the PCI Passthrough guide on the IG wiki and so far the VM boots, I've already installed windows and it runs like a charm, but when it comes to installing the Radeon drivers Windows gives me a big middle finger and crashes everytime. I've tried to keep the HDMI Audio from loading in the VM so that Crimson won't install the audio drivers, but it didn't change anything. I have no idea what to do at this point since most guides I've read online led me to a dead end.

System Sound > Communication
Set to "do nothing"


I'd passthrough the HDMI audio controller too fam. Will help with sound inside the VM anyways and might also fix your issue.

How would I go about running a file in a single command?

For example: I have to

1) cd /opt/lampp
2) sudo ./manager-linux-x64.run

to launch xampp. How do I do that in 1 line so I can make alias?

You can just call it with its full path, or add that path to your PATH variable.

Oh well fuck me, I tried inserting dot (.) in that too. I get it now. Thanks.

Guys. I fucked up.

I came home drunk last night and for some reasons I decided to uninstall KDE. I just woke up and found that not only I got rid of KDE, but also of Xorg and the entire networking packages (ifup/down, wicd-cli aren't insalled. IP can't bring my interface up for some reason.)

I have a Debian Standard CD lying around, how can I use it to install theissing networking packages? I already tried adding the CD in sources.list, but apt doesn't grab the packages from there and I don't want to reinstall the entire OS just for some packages.

1.boot into linux iso.
2.mount everything.
3.install all your shit back that you deleted.

I have 3 solid state drives I swap, running Linux, OBSD and Windows.

Twice now, after shutting down Windows (8) and connecting the Linux drive, the drive has been unbootable ("non system disk or disk error" type error message). This has happened with both Debian and Slackware. I don't even see how it is possible. For clarity:

(1) Run Linux.
(2) Shut down linux.
(3) Switch to Windows Drive.
(4) Run Windows.
(5) Shut down Windows.
(6) Switch to linux drive.
(7) Drive won't boot.

Switching back to windows, it boots. Switching to OpenBSD, it boots. Has anyone else seen anything else like this? I have never lost an OpenBSD Drive, and losing the linux drive is always preceded by running Windows 8. Never have a problem going BSD -> Linux.

thats the nul byte.

What FTP clients do you guys use?

Well, it's true the audio controller doesn't cause any problems and already works without the need of drivers, but it doesn't help at all when it comes to installing the video's ones. Right when Crimson reads "Installing AMD Display Driver" the screen turns itself off for a second as it should, but then the VM crashes and reboots. I've also tried loading the RedHat's Virtio drivers when I installed windows but they seem to be useless.

Semi-technologically impaired but trying to git gud, here.
My torrentbox running mint I know with cryptsetup on the HDD suddenly won't boot and kicks me to busybox (initramfs) whenever I start it. I think it has to do with a bad superblock, but no matter how many times I try to fix it by using a backup block and fsck -b it still won't let me mount the encrypted partition.
Is there anything I can do or am I completely fucked?

Running Debian Stretch on SSD too with nothing else and a week ago something scribbled over my /boot. Luckily a fsck fixed it enough where I could boot and regenerate the files. I wonder if some bad update got through.


I mean are you passing through both the AMD video and the AMD HDMI audio controllers? They show up as separate PCI devices on mine.

If your hypothesis is true and our problems are related, it would be an update that exists in at least Stretch, Jessie, and the latest cut of Slackware.

Been doing this drive swap thing forever and never had any problems like this, up until recently. My hunch was something to do with the bios (as in windows occasionally doing something to the bios to screw the linux box on next boot, intentionally or not.) Not sure if that is even possible but it seems like there is a lot more going on these days between OS and BIOS.

Windows cooties.. I bet that's it.

Sounds like you might have already but check these docs out. Haven't had to deal with that myself yet, but wish you best of luck fam.

I'm not running Windows on the machine where that happened. Maybe the FBI started hacking everybody ahead of schedule with a cool new virus.

Of course I am, I always load them both in the script with vfio-bind.

How difficult is it to remove Windows 10 off of a laptop and replace it with Windows 7? Is there a high chance of ruining the laptop doing that?

I highly doubt removing Windows 10 will blow up your laptop, just disable Secure Boot from within the BIOS and then load a Win7 iso.

I'll probably dual-boot it with Linux. Should I load Windows 7 before or after I have Linux working?

Windows first

How do I stop 8ch from sending out 8ch.net/tech/threads.json for every single open Holla Forums thread tab I have open? I unchecked all the settings that have 'Auto update' in them, Show top/trending boards are also unticked.

Do I have to use uBlock Origin to block these requests?

Can I install two versions of Windows 10 on the same drive or will it fuck up because it'll override the older install's recovery partition?
I'm thinking of having a regular version of 10 with all the bells and whistles and 10 Enterprise with everything unnecessary disabled in case I need to squeeze every last minute of battery life from the laptop.
Pic related I already tripple boot Mint 18, Windows 10 and OS X.

Should be fine, just point to an empty partition. I'd install Enterprise last.

Pleb tier web design question:

I have a text (link) array that I want to surround by borders (basically to create buttons). So in style.css I have:

display:block;padding: 12px 18px;border: 3px solid #b7c5d9;

The issue is: The button size depends on the length of text that it contains. I want a fixed sized button. How do?

Nevermind, I just figured out that padding adds around the text, not defining the block size.

now I have to figure out how to center the text to the element without padding

I have been recording gameplay videos for awhile and now I have finally decided to upload them for friends, this leads to my question...
What is the ratio of resolution to bitrate? ie. I'm recording at 1440p but want to upload at 1080p, what bitrate should I record at to ensure good scaling to 8000kbs 1080p?

Don't encode with constant bitrate, do a constant quality encode instead.
You can record at high bitrate to preserve the quality.
For example, using h.264 you'd set the crf (constant rate factor) to something around 22 (lower is better).
For more details:
trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264

The only downside of this is that you don't know how big the file is going to be.

Thanks user, that wiki is amazing.

How do I enable DC offset and a basic noise filter for my mic?

Mobo's integrated ALC1200 chipset supports fucking 32 bit, 96kHz ADC, and yet has quality this potato. (The mic isn't STELLAR, but sounds reasonably good when attached to a proper sound card.)

I'm on Linux (Mint 18 XFCE)

I can't figure out what the simplest way is to just have PulseAudio apply whatever filters to all audio from that source.

Forgot to mention, that green area is the only part where I'm actually speaking.

How do I get 3 vertical columns in HTML/css? I want a picture on the left side of screen, a picture on the right side of screen (both 96px), and a color fill in the middle. I have:

Then in style.css I have:

div.vertBox-Banner { margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; max-width: 1280px; height: 96px; } /*======BANNER LEFT======*/ div.vertBox-Banner-Left { float:left; height: 96px; width: 96px; } /*======BANNER MIDDLE======*/ div.vertBox-Banner-Middle { /*TELL ME WHAT TO INSERT HERE PLZ*/ } /*======BANNER RIGHT======*/ div.vertBox-Banner-Right { float:right; height: 96px; width: 96px; }

The pictures align great on the left and right. I don't know how to fill the space in between.

Why? Just upload at 1440p.

nvm, figured it out

With VERY few exceptions, when you upload to streaming websites such as YouTube, you're best off uploading the purest, most original, best source material you have.

Just feed them the 1440p video.

I'm probably going to install Mint on my laptop. I've never owned a Linux laptop myself before, but I've used many in the past. Is this a good idea?

And can someone explain to me what the deal with systemd is? I know what it is, but does Mint use it? Is there a way to bypass or remove it?

It's the program that fires up the various parts of your OS, and manages services. When your computer turns on, you've got

Yes, starting with version 18
Not really. It's very hard to avoid using it even in Debian.

Are there any good alternative distros that don't use it, then?

Nothing really, especially not if you're looking for something user-friendly.

Basically if you know WHY you don't want it, and you're willing to invest the time required, you can get away from it.

Is there any program that lets me remotely control a computer by LAN and pass files around like Teamviewer, but without actually having to connect to the internet and bear with their nagging?

I know WHY I don't want it, I hear of too many complexity and security issues with it that is sort of a turn off. I am willing to invest the time into moving away from it; is there any required reading on the subject?

PuTTy (a windows SSH client) will defintly be able to help with passing files around, not shure about being able to manage Windows thought. Also search alternativeto.net for Teamviewer will bring up likely more useful suggestions.

What is a good disk access monitor for windows?

Download DBAN to take care of the HD... Running it in "Drive Killer Mode" will insure that the data is FUBAR... It adheres to gubermint data destruction rules... Takes a bit of time though.

Ah, I forgot about putty, and I'll try out TightVNC. Thanks for mentioning that website

Not really per se.

You just have to find a distro like Devuan or Gentoo that lets you run it without systemd, and then don't install anything that depends on systemd

Upload time is my main reason, where I live it costs a fortune to get decent upload speeds and my current videos are ~1gb for 3 minutes.

How exactly do I make sure of video card bearings have gone bad?

So i got this monitor because it was heap during cyber monday and it has built in speakers. My speakers went to shit so all i have been using was my headsets and the problem is that they get really fucking uncomfortable while wearing my glasses but i can for the life of me get any fucking sound out of it.

I've connected it to my card with the hdmi cord and nothing, even unplugged my headset and messed around with the sound options in win 7

Monitor is newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160278

I have a Lenovo X201 Thnikpad with Xubuntu installed. I want to reinstall the OS because it has been acting funny lately. I've used an USB drive (or however you call that) last time with UNetbootin, and all was fine. Now I've formatted the USB drive, put the newest version of Xubuntu on it, but the machine doesn't want to boot from it. It just says that the OS isn't found and then boots my current OS from the HDD. Tried with both normal and 64 version of Xubuntu, the result are the same. The only difference from last time is that I'm using a new USB drive with 8gb memory, because I lost the previous one with 16gb. But it still has 6.7gb free space so that can't be the problem.

How good is Alpine, Devuan, or Slackware for those with some but not a lot of past experience with Linux?

Assuming you mean fan bearings, stick your finger in there to briefly stop the fan and see if the noise stops.

Do you have a volume slider for HDMI and is it turned up? Is volume on the monitor turned up? Shouldn't be much to it.

Try usb-creator alias Startup Disk Creator or mkusb or just dd instead.

Devuan should be alright.

I was curious if there was a recommended way to use an old laptop as a second monitor (expanded screen) without the use of a remote connection; I don't want any input lag. I just got this new desktop and both of the computers are windows 10 pro.

In case it is not bad trolling, please explain.

Why do you think your fan bearings are bad? The fan would either not be spinning at all or it would be making a squealing sound if they were bad.

I am not sure if the fans are as quiet as intended or not and so from there.

If it's not making a squealing or screeching sound, your bearings are probably fine.

Alright, a while back, I posted a question here that had to do with my screen flickering due to motherboard video output, the webm is for reference. So I got out and got a new PSU, 400 watts, 100 watts more than the previous one, and still got the same result. So it's definitely the motherboard. So I go out to get the cheepest graphics card I could find at Fry's like the degenerate I am and got the Diamond Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. Look here for reference: diamondmm.com/5450pe512-diamond-amd-radeon-hd-video-graphics-card.html (Just in case it matters I gut the gpu before I got the psu since I realize I fucked up in power consumption wise so the first time I plugged in the gpu was with the new psu) Now if I didn't mention it before, the computer runs fine with the new psu. But when I plug in the GPU, the fans speed up and nothing is outputted to the screen as well as no keyboard responsiveness. Now, from the research I have already done, I have deduced that the PSU is fine, since the computer doesn't shut down randomly after a short period of time. I am unsure whether the motherboard is fine or the graphics card. I have a feeling though that the graphics card is at fault since the problem with the fans and screen and keyboard start when I plug in the graphics card. If anyone can help fix this, that would be great. I almost forgot, the PSU I bought can be seen here: amazon.com/iMicro-IM400W-ATX12V-Power-Supply/dp/B002HREGRM Yes I know the power supply sucks, but I just want to see if it's possible to get a clear output from the computer.

I forgot to mention that when I take the graphics card back out, the computer runs normally, but with the broken screen output still.

I'll check these out. Thanks.

I just bought a GTX 950 (gv-n950d5-2gd) and noticed something... there is no 6-pin power connector on it, there is a place to install one but since it was sealed and all I am now afraid to plug it, it took me by surprise.

Are these new cards like that or what? I am checking around and it seems to be the case but I want to make sure before I plug it in.

Any recommended drawing program for an android phone?

Alright, I found out what the problem is, my bios doesn't seem to support PCIe 2.0. There's a poblem that this computer also has. When I startup the computer, the hp logo comes up with it's blue style as the main color in the background (as opposed to when it didn't before I took out the CMOS battery for a minute). But when I try to go into either setup or boot menu, it just goes to a black screen. I'm not sure if I'm able to allow the PCIe to be enabled in this bios. If in the event that I can't I don't know where to get the bios. The page that is nonexistent on the HP website is: h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=484151 . I would really like to avoid flashing the bios with libreboot but it seems like the only option.

What's some of the best tools for a rooted Android device?

Yea, I'm getting nothing. I even tried to get sounds coming both from the built in speakers and this turtle beach headset I have and nothing. Speakers are probably dead on arrival.

Does youtube-dl make a straight connection with my network or does the download go through some server? I wonder if the Jews know if I'm watching x youtube video or if the Jews only see that I'm downloading something from some youtube-dl server

This is probably a really dropped newbie question, but I just finished installing Devuan off of a CD. Now I cannot get GRUB to load and I have no idea how to boot into Devuan. It does not seem like there would be an easy solution, but is there a way to fix this?

Is there an IRC channel for /tech?

I guess I'll elaborate a little more, after poking around in rescue mode on my installer for a bit. Going into the install GRUB boot loader brings up the disk partition section of the installer, which gets me this list of all partitions on my hard drive.

I have eight partitions on /dev/SDA, numbered 1 through 8, as well as three empty partitions flagged as free space. The partition that is flagged as biosgrub is sda6. I cannot advance past the partition disk section without defining a root file system, but I cannot find the option to change the root file. Returning to the rescue mode option says it will let me choose a device to use as the root system, giving me /dev/sda1 through /dev/sda8, but I can only do anything with sda1, clicking on anything else gives me an error mounting the device onto /target.

I'm not entirely sure how to proceed from here, but hopefully this makes the issue a little more clear.

The "--proxy" option allows you to use a proxy server. If you are not using a proxy, jewtube could keep track of the videos you download.

If you aren't trying to dualboot you could make your life easier by deleting all the partitions, starting over and choosing Automatic Partitioning in the installer.


Delete all your Google accounts and don't use their products. Next, install ublock origin.

How to automate actions in a web browser? The task is simple, just two clicks and I want it to execute once at a later time. A search gave me tools like imacro, but it looks like an overkill to me. I'm using Windows, but I have access to GNU's tools.

That's terrifying.

So my AMD FX-6300 is safe? pls respond.

AMD rolled out DASH in 2014!?, so i don't think the FX-6300 is DASH capable, but the latest AMD CPUs support out of band access regardless of power or OS state. 100% Botnet.

I am trying to dual-boot. Couldn't I delete the partitions I created and start over the installation process from scratch?

Yes but just pick auto when it asks. Towards the end when it says it looks like it's safe to install grub blabla pick sda1.

And that won't auto-write over the partitions with Windows data stored on it?

Phew, close fucking shave right there. Thanks user.

Is the only auto option to use entire disk? If so, that would overwrite everything. To do it manually, create these:
Mount point * size * FStype
/boot * 500MB * ext2
/ * 20+GB * ext4
swap * 8GB * swap
If you already have an EFI partition, set it as your /boot/EFI mount point. If not, ignore it.

I remember Grubed used to be the tool to edit the grub options, but I don't think it exists now (I didn't need again until now).

What can I use? for Debian, btw. The leader for your troubles.

Try it manually. There are two files in Debian, /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /etc/default/grub. The first is the actual bootloader config file, which you aren't supposed to edit manually. The second contains changes you want to add.
Edit /etc/default/grub however you want and run update-grub and you should edit your bootloader entries. Keep backups if you aren't sure. The syntax mostly makes sense, so it shouldn't be hard for a few quick edits or new entries.

Guys i have fucked up really bad i think. i have ordered this baby to add 4gb to my computer. Shot story long i have googled that rams need to be same brands in order to avoid problems.

Pic related i have ordered kingson 4gb mhz1600 cl9 and the picture in the right is my ram in my computer.

Did i fuck up? Should i try it?

Try it, if it doesn't work just RMA it.

What does this mean? Match it in bios?

irc.rizon.net #Holla Forums

RMA = return to seller/shop

Do you mean the different memory speeds? Worst that happens is that they run at the speed of the slower RAM.
Also I might have this wrong but Speed = 2x DRAM Frequency. Modern RAM is double RAM

Yes i have 667.5Mhz lets say its 700mhz so x2 1400mhz.

Also i have read that differend brands have their own chips and shiet. So im really afraid if it wont fuck something up in my motherboard.

If it doesn't work you'll just get bluescreens.

Do iOS or Android apps have any way of polling the state of another app running? How would I go about solving the problem of finding out what is happening in an App that isn't mine?

>PC with Windows 7 for muh games

List of shit I've tried so far:
Every time the tests came out ok and the problems still persisted.

today:
>deleted Avast which by the way is getting bloated as fuck and adware-tier

What in the fuck could be wrong with my computer? Any ideas?

Also I checked the temps at every stage, everything except the Processor is within the OK ranges. According to the last guys who tried to repair my PC, it seems the CPU must have some awful temp offsets because at 99°C it should either be throttling or shutting down, yet every monitoring program returns said values when running something intensive.

Thanks, seems like it was just as easy as changing a number for the order.

Have you checked and cleaned the fans? Also have you checked that the rest of the connections are fully seated? Also is this all with a fully updated system (rollup patch applied and them sequent ones installed) or base SP1?

Now I've started the installation over again putting grub onto /dev/sda1. I still get the same problem.

The EFI system is installed on sda1, but sda6 is flagged as biosgrub when I autopartition the hard drive, which makes me think that that's where the partition is supposed to go or something; obviously, though, I can't put GRUB on sda6. I'm not entirely sure how to proceed at this point.

1. reinstal windows with the games you have pirated there could be chinese bot i shit you not this happend to me two times when i have downloaded from piratebay

2. chceck heat of cpu,motherboard,graphic and your HDD

Im pretty sure you have software problems since you said after deleting avast it run worse. Consider full format then install windows again.

That is terrible advice.

Im too afraid of change to get Linux and gonna get Win 7. Should I go with base SP1 or should I get at least the security patches, or are some roll patches safe? Wanting to avoid the botnet bullshit ass much as possible

Towards the end of the install, it says it looks like it's safe to install grub on whatever. Choose whatever from the list or it defaults to blank. Usually that's sda1 but if it tells you 6 then pick that.

There's an old saying in Texas and Tennessee ...

So I have this in Python

import ctypesctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0, "My text", "Mein title", 0)

Yet for some reason, pic related shows up. Anyone know why?

All checked. Base SP1, my brother just doesn't want to get his shit botnetted up (even though I could just delete the telemetry-related updates).

Wew, this might be the third windows clean reinstall then. If all else fails I'll try with a full formatting.
Also all the temps are ok, even the HDD, except the CPU as I explained before. I should check that fucking CPU again, no way it can get so hot without even throttling.

It gives me two options: either install on /dev/sda, or enter manually. Installing on /dev/sda1 doesn't work, and it gives me an error when I try to install it on /dev/sda6.

What about installing it on boot/efi?

Don't know then.

I'm having issues with using crossfire on two AMD 480 cards. When the cards have crossfire enabled i'm getting weird artifacts in game. I have no idea what is causing this.

What the fuck happened to my screen? How do I get the output name for my monitor in xrandr (according to the monitor, it's "DVI-Digital", but xrandr says that the output is not found). I don't think it's the monitor itself by the way, this doesn't happen on windows when on the same computer

How can I learn to not write C++ like it's C? (and the opposite, if that's even possible) How do I learn to adopt correct practices in both and more importantly learn to detect bad ones when I see them?
Are other languages held to different standards related to this? I've heard for example that there's no correct way to write PHP and that it's a horrible language. Is this true and if that's the case, can it be replaced efficiently with another one in all its use cases or do any scenarios exist where it remains an unreplaceable necessary evil (at least, a lesser one than alternatives)? If it is completely replaceable, what other languages are also in this category?
Did I do well in asking here or should I have made a thread?

Seems to be talking about something related (although I can't help user, sorry)

Hi, I just installed a usb wireless dongle on my PC and it works perfectly and all, however it shows up on the safely remove hardware and eject media icon

is there a way to have it not appear on that list?

Writing good code is a question of good discipline, and you should use every bit of language feature available to help you in that.
C++ adds some features over C to create more robust programs.
eg. generic collections reduces casts and therefore type errors, RAII ensures the allocated resource is always freed. etc...

PHP language and friends are the polar opposite of all discipline in programming.
It cannot find the slightest error until the programs executes the statement, and so programs tend to work by luck unless they are submitted to extensive testing.
These languages also happen to perform terribly slow.

If you ask me, there is absolutely no advantage to PHP over others. Any language whose major purpose is to output text while iterating database records is replaced trivially.

Check out coding style guides and read code from other coders. Here's the Linux Kernel one, for starters: kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle .Not every coding style is helpful, but having one for your own projects will make your code more consistent.
Different languages use ideas differently. Java forces you to make every data structure a class, while C lets you use structs and unions to do the same thing. If you wanted to do something to every value in a list you'd use a for loop in Java, but you'd use a map in Haskell or Lisp.

PHP is a Perl derivative made for web dev. Perl is the "There's more than one way to do it" language, where every problem has many solutions, but you need to know what you're doing. Python fixed that with "There's only one way to do it", by removing the ability to be fucking stupid. PHP fixed that by halfassing Perl's rather complex syntax, so you get ugly looking code without the reason it's ugly. It's advantage is that you can stick it in HTML files directly, which is why it became popular.
Pretty much any language can replace it if you want. Perl, Python, Ruby, Java and even stuff like Haskell can generate HTML. You could even just use Bash and CGI if you wanted. The problem is that companies are run by retards, and they only know about the PHP thing that makes the internet look good. If you're getting a web dev job you'll have to learn PHP.

I'm on Arch how the fuck do browser fonts work?

I can't get Unicode to display right in pages and not even in the interface (like address bar or title bar). The funny thing is that anywhere else in the OS Unicode displays correctly, like gnome-terminal, my calculator, the application menu, basically any place except Icecat/Chromium/Brave. Even in elinks they display.

What the fuck?

C++ is designed for multiple ideas. Object oriented, functional, etc. It's entirely fine to just use C++ like C except with templates for code generation, or for the standard library, etc. It sounds like you're wanting to learn to use the language features, which will come with practice and research. I recommend (as a starting point) researching the differences between public/protected/private, virtual inheritance, and the member function const int& fn() const.

Looking at others coding guidelines is also helpful as said, so here's LLVM's:
llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html
Google's: google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html
Stroustrup's: stroustrup.com/bs_faq2.html

Have you tried fiddling with xrandr at all?

I need the hex scan codes for the arrow keys but I can't find any that works with the program I'm using.

I've already tried that. I've tried changing the default browser font to DejaVu or FreeSans which did fuck all, tried the "let websites use their own fonts" option, also nothing. I could see the font changing but the boxes are still the same.

Tried changing the Cinnamon font and that did nothing, although Cinnamon was already rendering Unicode correctly to begin with.


I already have all the fonts, I even have Google's Noto (uninstalled now since it did fuck all) and FreeSans. Like I said the Unicode displays everywhere elese. I'll try inifinality though, didn't have that yet.

The other card didn't show up in it.

Using qbittorrent. It isn't seeding. It's at 0kb. I succesfully downloaded from the same torrent at full speed.

I've just stuck with 8chanX because I was unware of any alternatives, but why do you have both enabled? You're supposed to use only "pure" or "regular" depending on your browser. The github page will tell you which one. (Or just see which script works better I guess.)

Apologies if this belongs in the other thread but I built a new computer and not sure what OS to run. On my old craptop I used Windows 8.1 and I liked it but from my understanding 7 the popular choice (not here on Holla Forums, just in general). I've never used Windows 7 so I don't have any opinion on it. Is there any reason to pick 7 over 8.1?

Can someone point out some resources to learn about getting good with linux? I got a laptop that came with ubuntu and I can't even get wine working on it.

Are you running vidya? If yes, Windows Server 2008. If no, Ubuntu MATE 16.10. Since it's a craptop you probably won't be running anything that require Windows anyway.
Microsoft backported a lot of the shitty features from 10 to 8, 8.1 and 7, but they'd be in deep shit if they did that to their server OS. Instead of autistically checking every single update to make sure they haven't tried to sneak any botnet in, you can just use their server OS. 2008 is Windows 7 based, so all Win7 drivers work. Just remember you want to install Enterprise instead of Standard, and you should enable wifi and audio in the features menu.Also you can crack it with Windows Loader, just like 7.Only downside is it looks like Win7 with the classic theme. Also some software has a shit fit if it detects Windows Server installations, but there should be ways around that.
Ubuntu MATE is a Linux distro that just werks and requires no previous Linux experience. It's got graphical installers for everything and it's easy as fuck to use. You might as well try it.

What if he wants to play vidya, user? Man can not live on tux racers alone.

I'm not installing Gentoo. Might dual-boot into Linucks at some point but not anytime soon.

That's the plan

Win7 doesn't come with the phone interface. I think that's the main difference between 7 and 8.1

Telemetry should be about equal for both. The only downside of 7 I can think of is that newer hardware doesn't support it anymore.

pls hlep

Guess I'll go with 8.1 since getting rid of the phone UI isn't too difficult. Isn't the telemetry stuff an update I can ignore/uninstall?

I've been out of the torrenting game for a while. What sites can I trust to get my torrents from?

I've asked this question before but didn't get a good response.
I installed debian on my comp, but whenever I try to install the NVIDIA drivers via "apt-get install nvidia-[whatever]", it causes my desktop environment to fuck up.
What do I do? should I just move on to installing something like arch?

Do I need to provide my real information (name etc.) if I wish to host a website somewhere? If yes, is it publicly available?

I don't mind if the host has my name (although that would be nice to avoid), but more importantly I'd like to avoid it being publicly available to everyone. never hosted anything before

Is it possible to get Holla Forums user javascript to write to a file on disk?

TOP advice: You are doing something wrong. Installing nvidia drivers shouldn't cause your DE to glitch.

If by "fuck up" you mean oversized font and shit, there's some setting that you have to lower some number.

In xfce, you go apperance->fonts->dpi (if I recall correctly).

nvm fixed it, I had a panel opened in lxde, just left clicked it and chose to delete it.
Also it just keeps calling it "deafult"

Is 8chanX worth installing?

Funtoo or Gentoo?

So I installed .net 4 onto my linux install via wine and every .net program I've tried to run works fine except for gnomeria which claims I don't have .net installed even though I do. Gnomeria is rated as platinum on WineDB yet when I try to run it it claims I don't have .net 4 installed even though I do and other .net programs work fine. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No, but you may have to resort to legal trickery (see the book "How to Be Invisible"). Nice quads btw.

Bump.

No, unless you want to register a .com or other common domain name. Many registrars let you hide it for an extra fee but there are frequent leaks so don't depend on it.

Can continual deletion and partitioning of space on a hard drive affect the HD's integrity?

Define continual. If you're doing it 100 times a day, eventually that sector will go bad and it will remap to another. Keep doing it and eventually you'll run out of remap sectors but it will be a few years.

i have been thinking of using a password manager. are there any downsides to them? also which should I use? keepass, keepassx?

i have also been meaning to get a good vpn that doesnt mess with my speeds too much. does anyone have one they have used and liked it? im aware of the guides and such, but it all seems a lot of guessing.

Keepass is fine. Downside is if you lose the file or if you get RATted you could lose all your passwords. So make a bunch of backups of it on different devices and don't open .exe's strangers email you.
Mullvad seems to come up a lot but I think most VPNs are going to hurt your speed.

I screencap a lot of posts and later put them together to create one big image. It was easy on windows 7 resizing the canvas on the fly and print screen putting the image on the clipboard and pasting into paint. But now that I'm on linux, I've tried a bunch of alternatives and none of them can resize canvas by dragging the corner of the canvas, nor can I just press print screen and it copies to a clipboard and I paste into paint, it takes a picture now. I've tried getting mspaint to run but I'm still new to linux, I'm running mint. How do I do this?

Also, I don't want to be spoonfed but can someone point me to where I can learn the ins and outs of linux? Also want to know how to create a killswitch incase my vpn connection drops, everything is terminal based on linux it seems, I can get used to that but I'll miss the simplicity of windows 7.

So apparently playing a video in mpv makes the second screen display normally. Running mpv from terminal before the screen display works normally doesn't give me any useful information as to what's happening, and having mpv play a short video on log in doesn't seem like a good solution. To re-explain my problem:

Any help is appreciated. Is mpv the best video player if it can magically fix my display issues?

Why are you running 8chanX pure and regular? Aren't you supposed to run one or the other? Have you had any conflicts with running both?


Windows 7 is the best modern Windows to run. It's still shit which is why Holla Forums won't recommend it. But if you must, be sure to disable unnecessary Windows features/tasks and get rid of the win10 spyware. I've seen infographs on both, but I don't have any saved.

This is a list of mirrors of official Windows 7 isos. Select the one you want to download. (You weren't just going to download a random iso off some shitty torrent site, right?) I'm sure you know how to crack it.

If you want a reason to run 7 over 8.1, I remember even before Windows 10 came out some news sites were reporting that 8.1 was sending file information back to Microsoft, which should be of concern if you care even the slightest about privacy. (If you want to run Windows though you probably don't.) Of course I can't guarantee Windows 7 doesn't do this either, but I don't care as I've pretty much dropped Windows now.

I was told rather colourfully to come here. So, what should I use to help calibrate my new tv? Any DisplayMate torrents so I don't have to drop $100?

There's no reason to panic, these are "standard" error messages that come up when the PC is unresponsive. In your case, you probably do have a strange power saving mode enabled...

And colon cancer is the best modern cancer.

Can anyone help me with this? (Picture Related)
I'm using a 64bit version of Windows 10, with .NET Framework 4.6.2. And recently .exe files either don't run at all ( Nothing pops up ), or I get this error.

Does this happen on a specific build target (eg release or debug)? Check your web.config or app.config that your connection strings are all there. It appears that one is missing. There are also different configurations for release vs debug, so if you use one connection string for release, but another for debug, check out those configs as well (eg app.config.debug or app.config.release).

Thanks man.

aight Holla Forums Im at the end of my shit
Im usually tenacious as fuck when it comes to fixing shit but this one Ive hit granite with

Im getting heavy audio stutter in mountain blade and completely unplayable hangups in Titan Quest, where the game would freeze for 5 seconds and then play back those 5 seconds in high speed

Ive tried everything, its not the software because the problem persists across multiple installations of windows 7 on multiple HDDs, same reason why its not the HDD
it cant be the RAM because I ran a torture test a couple of days before and there wasnt a single problem in 3 full runs of memtest

I have no fucking Idea what the problem could be anymore
Ive got an MSI K9A2 motherboard, a Phenom 9750 and a Radeon HD 4800
my guess its one of the ricer features of the motherboard, but I have no fucking idea what any of this shit does

Gamma can't be done by eye.
Gamut would require a reference device and would be hellish to do by eye, particularly for blue.
White point can be done with a reference device to compare to. Eyeballing in this instance would beat a colorimeter but not a spectrophotometer.

Paying for a product that does not come with a colorimeter is a waste of money pure and simple. You are better off just adjusting the white point to your liking and leaving it alone. I'd guess most displays are pretty good at this point, unless you've chosen a cheapshit telly, in which case calibration is typically not possible. The last telly I worked with was an LG 60" and that had reliable 2.2 gamma and rec 709 gamut.. all that was left to do was adjust white point.

How in fuck's name can I add custom context menu entries in winblows for specific extensions? Let's say I want there to be an "edit with photoshop" option when I right click .jpg files for example instead of having to muck about in the "open with" submenu, how the god damn hell can I do this?

Pretty much all "context menu editors" I've come across only disable/enable default context menu entries and contextedit is to me just a confusing shitshow and trying to find documentation/tutorials for it was a massive waste of time.

What about the stuff linked by ? Should I do that and ignore gamma? I have definitely been noticing a lot of brightness and some pretty dull colours.

Brightness and colours can't be helped by a pattern generator. The eye is notoriously deceptive. Just adjust brightness and white balance to your liking, unless something is seriously wrong, like blacks being sucked out. If you have the money and want to be a videophile, get an I1D3 like I did. You too can have the fun being told to "not mess with the TV" when you try and do your dad a favor by perfectly calibrating his brand new set.

A perfectly calibrated set is like a well aged whiskey. Some will appreciate it, others will mix it with Coke.

Any particular models you recommend? First search results show a few ones on Amazon around $200, just wondering if there are any ones to aim for or avoid.

Oh, didn't realize that was the actual product name. I'll definitely put it on my list.

does this mean ingame economy is permanently fucked?

this is toucans

Perhaps look into the colormunki display as it is dead cheap. It looks like it can't be used by Eizo/NEC programs but using it for HCFR on tellies would save a lot of money.

Avoid older devices like i1D2 because they are less accurate with LED backlights.

I'm not sure if the more expensive ones in the series are actually much better, or if this will work okay for mine.

the graph is all green without irregularities when the sound begins to stutter

Watch CPU and see if an AV scan is running? Temps OK? Not sure what else it could be.

CPU is as always and AV is shut down. Temperature fluctuates between 45 and 60.

This is pretty much the reason I came here, I tried literally everything I could think of.

Okay, this is driving me insane. That's TWO different distributions (Devuan and Mint) that I installed on my laptop that failed to load GRUB properly.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15, is it the laptop? Does Dell have shit on their machines that actively tries to prevent you from running dual boot? I've tried everything, tried installing GRUB everywhere. What am I doing wrong?

What's a nice, simple video editor?
I just want to add music to a video.

From your earlier post, it sounded like your computer had EFI. It might be booting from that instead of legacy boot/grub. Many manufacturer's EFI implementations are buggy because lazy H1B's or your distros would be working too. Two options:
Disable EFI boot, use legacy only- this will probably break your windows and you'll have to reinstall everything but it should work after that
OR
Download the USB flash drive image from here, dd or Rufus it to a flash drive and boot from it.
rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html
This will let you select the EFI image you want to boot from which is what your buggy BIOS should be doing if it was working right.

Last thought, before you do all that double-check the boot order in your BIOS. If EFI is working correctly, Devuan and Mint should both show up as boot items. If it does, move Devuan to the top.

I have a dell 775 as a seedbox with 500/500 FTTH
The thing come with a fucking Pentium D 950 @ 3.40GHz
I have around some E2180 that is actually a dual core so its an improvement
I'm thinking about cheapo ali 775 socket options (aliexpress.com/item/Original-intel-Xeon-X3323-2-5GHZ-6M-1333-Processor-close-to-LGA771-Core-2-Quad-Q9650/32779512994.html)
Will I notice any difference at all?
99% of the use is just rutorrent

Also, I have a third stick of ram, would it rather have dual channel or 25% more ram?

here, I sort of got dual-display working.
Turns out that playing videos with mpv makes the second display work for the session. Logging out or shutting down makes the second display go back to a black screen or splash image. What is mpv doing to make the display work? Is it just that good of a video player? How can I make this work on boot?

archive.is/3eLUX
I remember using this to get the monitor layout correct, but it doesn't seem to help display the second screen properly. Is there something else I should be trying?

Thank you so much for the help, but I did some more fishing around. Dell apparently has instructions on how to set up a dual-boot on their fucking website. They said to use UEFI where I had been using Legacy all along. Doing this, I was able to get Mint to install properly with GRUB, but not Devuan (I tried Devuan first and got a slightly different installer but the same end result). Perhaps now that everything has been settled properly, I can create another partition for Devuan, but that's another project for another day.

Seems like a retarded mistake to make, though.

I have a 32GB microSD that recently got corrupted. Trying to format normally doesn't work, it always gives an error. Is there any way to restore it to working order? I don't necessarily care about what happens to the data on it, I was able to salvage what I needed off of it. I don't really care if it's totally busted, either; it was some $5 cheap-ass generic card. You get what you pay for I guess.

Wondering if anyone might have suggestions for a problem I'm having with my laptop. Can provide further specs if needed, but probably not necessary.

I dual boot Linux & windows for gaming, and utilize a Logitech BT wireless keyboard since my internal keyboard drank itself to death (I'll be replacing it soon.) today when I booted up, I noticed the keyboard was not responsive (which hasn't been an issue in GRUB before.)

Having dealt with this during an os wipe and install, I popped off the case, took out & returned the CMOS and started up hopefully. This didn't work, so I tried again.

Eventually I got a "RTC battery low, press F2 to set date and time" message instead of post. Since I can't use the keyboard (and currently have no spares laying around), this was a non started. I drove by RadioShack on the way home and picked up a replacement CR2032. Replaced the battery. Same message.

Have jumped the CMOS, removed the battery for 10 minutes (trying twenty now) and have done a hard reset (both via button and via removing battery.)

If anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm not in a position to replace this laptop at the moment.

Dual channel will perform better, but RAM speed is irrelevant in most use cases. If there's no compatibility issues with adding the extra RAM, just go ahead and use it.


Try using gparted or some other partition utility. If those don't work either then it's probably dead.


Setting the date might make the message go away, but I guess you can't test that without another keyboard. Can you go to a friend or relative's house and borrow one for a few minutes to set the date? Is buying/borrowing a cheap one from a local thrift store out of the question?

Not at all, but this is day four of a series of unrelenting tech failures that has made me push some overdue work back day after day. No biggie, but certainly a major pain in the ass. I'll try it out. I have also not tried replacing the batteries in the keyboard - I'm moving and they're not handy, but I'll pick some up tomorrow and see if it was that simple all along.
Thanks for the response.

Lo & Fucking behold, after realizing I could salvage the batteries from a device I forgot I had in my laptop bag, it was the fucking battieres.

I deserved this.

no, the DE just doesn't load or gives me an error message and restarts my computer

Holla Forumsnicians, I've been trying to make a jewtube account for making worthless comments and uploading videos nobody watches. But every time I get to the second step of creating a Google account I'm asked for a phone number.
Is there any way around this? Would installing an android virtual machine be the solution?

Hey jewboi learn GNU/Linux and feel better about urself

Could the Heisenberg uncertainty principle be utilized for true random number generation?

From what I understand, RNG's usually just use the the smallest increments on the real time clock to generate a "random" number. That works decently well for most applications. But could this be improved by adding a module that fires a single photon through a narrow slit and then converts the landing point of that photon to into a digital number?

Quantum mechanics are inherently based on probability. So you can use observable quantum process to generate random numbers. One such process would be radioactive decay. That's actually what a lot of hardware RNGs are based on.
You can find several guide on how to build something like that yourself.

That's the first I found:
instructables.com/id/Arduino-True-Random-Number-Generator/

You can also buy Uranium ore as a radiation source.

How do you SSH into an IPV6 system? Just replacing the old IP address with the new ipv6 one doesn't seem to work.

I have a little scenario that I need some help with:

My iphone is fucking up and I was told that if I 'lose' my iphone I can get my insurance to replace it (as long as I pitch in $150). It's out of warranty so I can't get it fixed that way.

That said, I thought if you file a claim for losing a phone that they have the phone by the balls in case it were ever found by someone and tried to sell it. I found out that if YOU put it on the IMEI list then it can't be sold but you don't have to do that.

So can I 'lose' my phone, have it replaced, then sell it? Seems too good to be true

I'm trying to install LVM on LUKS for a new PC. I've done it before multiple times and it's gone off without a hitch. Now for some reason when I create the LVM physical volume, it's stuck at 8MB size. The partition I just made is ~250GB and I just set it up so I know it's not that. Somehow it doesn't recognize the size of the partition. I tried forcing it with one of the options but it warned me that it wouldn't work and I'd just lose data since it wouldn't map to anything on the hard drive. I'm using a Alpine Linux liveUSB if that helps.

Scratch that, I restarted and it worked just fine. I switched to whirlpool instead of sha512 for dm-crypt but I don't know if that fixed it or not.

I want to install Icecat, and I've found this guide:
wiki.ubuntu.com/IceCat
Now, I can extract it, no problem with that at all. But according to the guide there should be an executable simply named Icecat in there. But there isn't a single file like that anywhere. Am I missing something crucial, or am I just too retarded for Xubuntu?

I mean, I've also read this guide, this is the one speaking about an executable: askubuntu.com/questions/817676/how-to-install-ice-cat-on-ubuntu-16-04

So, should I just follow the guide in my previous post? It says:
Is the shell script just the folder that I created by extracting the file I've downloaded?

Dumb, simple question.
What programming language should I learn first? What should I learn and where should I learn it from to get started?

HOnestly, C.
Many might oppose it because it's to "hard" for newbie but sincerly it was my first language when I was 13(took me a year and a half cause I wasn't the brightest kid). procedural & Structured tends to be the easiest to learn. That is exactly what C is.

My full recommendation would be to learn C and then python. The ideal is that you should explore languages to learn indirectly most programming paradigm.

I was always weak at math, how much knowledge do I need at it to succeed?

Depends. What do you want to program? What are you interested in?


If by "weak at math" you mean "I'm slow/suck at performing arithmetic" then that's not really an issue. If you mean "I'm bad at reasoning about values and operations" then you're possibly fucked.

Basic logic.

programming will make you good at math.
If you appreciate programming, you will envetually be naturally good at math.

I'm not exactly sure what I want to do, I just am good at fixing computers and want to expand my knowledge further.

Look at row 6.
First is filled, second can't be 4 because of the one at the top of the column, third can't be 4 because of the 4 at the bottom of the column.
Fourth can't be 4 because of the one at the bottom of the column.
Fifth, sixth and seventh are filled.
Eighth can't be 4 because of the one at the bottom of the column.
That only leaves the ninth space in row six for a 4.

Maybe I make things to be more complicated than they have to be. So, do I have to do something with what I've downloaded and extracted to turn it into an actual program?

I have some questions in trying to understand basics about some protocols.

What tcp/ip protocol is responsible for telling a computer what addresses and servers to connect to on a network?

What application protocol maps TCP/IP addresses to names?

Is it DNS

The first is probably hinting at DHCP. The latter is DNS. DNS does a bit more than that, though.

I'm new to progamming and currently trying to learn C++, I'm working on a program that should convert numbers to text. So if you type in "14" the output would be "fourteen". What would be a way to improve this code so that I don't have to do the "else if" thing for every possible number?

And I just realised that I forgot to add the ";" after "checknumber", don't mind that.

What's the best windblows file manager? I need to sort my files and doing it manually is to slow.

Wow is that really the only way you can make a youtube account these days? That's fucking insane. Try Vimeo already.

Thank you.

Generally speaking, there's nothing wrong with LAMP or LEMP. I think nginx is easier to learn so I'd go with that personally. What you learn past that point, and if you want to swap the MP for something else, depends on what you want to do.

I am currently using Firefox as my browser, i want to know the best way to download videos from youtube(and possibly other places). I am more interested in making sure that the audio quality stays good then the video. I remember once using some site that allowed me to download a video but i can't remember the name.
Also, i guess it would be useful if you told me the best way to just rip the audio itself from a youtube video. I know a few sites for that but i wonder if there is a better way. A plugin maybe?

is peerblock still useful for helping torrent stuff?

Why am I starting to see this on 8ch? 8ch.net requesting canvas information? New to me. Should we be concerned?

Thanks, user, what is that? qBittorrent?

Canvases are sort of like a cookie you can't delete. A way to uniquely identify your computer & browser. They are probably coming from one of the ad networks Jim added. Tor browser can block the canvas requests or you can try using ublock origin to block the ad networks to see if my guess is right.

I guess its safe

Basically, if you're not into anonymity and are browsing from your home IP, canvases aren't something to worry about.

Thanks anons, this was on tor browser, I just thought it odd. I never saw that anywhere on 8ch before.

So, I'm running into a similar problem. After my attempts to teach myself linux ended up totally breaking the linux portion of my OS, I spent some time trying to fix it (reinstalling and reconfiging as opposed to a fresh install.)

After a reboot, my keyboard (again, USB external) was working at GRUB but stopped working as soon as linux loaded.

In a sleep deprived moment of total idiocy, I turned off legacy USB in BIOS and rebooted.

Of course, now I can't do anything.

I have tried to reset BIOS using every trick I can find: removing batteries (laptop and CMOS), removing HDD, jumping (JRST2501, bios, and JRST2002 RTC), and have picked up another USB keyboard. I tried a friend's PS/2 to USB keyboard. I have tried all ports (including mobo preference and USB 3). I have combinations of the three.

I'm using a USB keyboard because my internal laptop keyboard took a drink and malfunctions. I attempted to reattach it today, thinking that if I can accidentally activate the appropriate key to get into BIOS, I'll be set to go from there with the USB.

I have a replacement internal keyboard coming soon, but am wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for fixing the thing.

What's the lightest GNU distro a hacker can put on a laptop? Is there something tighter than Void?

Alphine is supposly lighter, hower it is more setup to be a server distrobution. You could try the musl version of Void as it is a smaller size and likely to be lighter on resources. However not all packages (most likely will effect large ones .e.g DE`s the most) will be compatible.

If the site is basic (I.e. newgrounds or the like) you can try this method that I found via a guide (on wiki how if I remember right), open the page in Firefox and save as complete, the file you want should have a file name similar to the content in question.

Hmm, well I definitely want to be able to use DEs, probably Openbox/LXDE.

Seems like my hdd went.

It spins up fine. Then it starts seeking. After about ~20 clicks it stops seeking, but never stops spinning. It then will seek again, periodically. It does this even without sata plugged in, just power connector, tried that on 2 machines. It's not recognized in bios, however it IS in linux, but you can't do anything with it, it's just listed in "disks". Board visually seems fine, didn't look inside yet.
Drive is ST3750330AS, quite old.

I have backups of the most important stuff, but there is still some junk (porn :^) ) I'd like to save and perhaps even keep the drive operational.
My guess is a bad board. I'm thinking to buy the same drive and try swapping boards, if that doesn't work try swapping guts, mostly for fun, curious how it will turn out. Or maybe call some local repair shops?

Any advice?

Copper is ground
Red should be right
Green should be left
Blue should be dead

OpenBox/LXDE should be just fine seeing as their code bases are very mature and KISS. I was talking more about more complex ones like Cinnamon and such. However the reactions depend on a some what on the hardware used.

Try to reduce the amount of ESD, as that may damage the drive. You could use mats for both standing and resting the HDD on. Also a ESD wrist band may be of use but you could frequently just touch your case instead. Finally having dry hands may help quite abit.

I'm trying to build a little tool to help me sort my files.
Right now, the sorting process is as follows:
This is tedious, so I want to make some improvements. I currently have a sqlite db going with some pertinent information on each file, and this information could be used to determine the file's location.

So I was thinking that I'd write something in html/css/js/php that would display pertinent information about each file from the sqlite db, allow me to listen to it in the browser, and add it to the "good" pile within the browser (with a button or something). I was also planning to add some sorting options and such.

My question: are the languages I've mentioned well-suited for the task, or should I try to use something else?

I think it would be reasonably easy to use php, but I'm wondering if something like node/django/rails/etc (which I know little about) would be suited for the task, and whether I have an excuse to learn them.

This is only something that I'd use internally, no networking involved.

Thx for the reply, user.
I was actually asking to see if there is anything I could do before swapping guts. As far as that goes, I think I should be ok as long as I hold the case with one hand. Since it spins fine I won't need to swap platters, the rest should be easy.

I am getting the following Log error:

1-12 14:48:58.146 27190-27190/com.tdn W/System.err: com.android.volley.NoConnectionError: java.io.IOException: unexpected end of stream on Connection{www.grabuk.com:80, proxy=DIRECT@ hostAddress=43.255.154.57 cipherSuite=none protocol=http/1.1} (recycle count=0)

The issue is from server side because I tried the same thing at 000webhost under free plan,it works great there.

Any help would be appreciated.thank you.

one way to get an unexpected end of stream is for nginx to fail your request with return code 444 -- by which, nginx doesn't actually return anything, it just slams the connection shut.

So ask yourself: why would a webserver not like my requests?

Probably it's due to your HTTP User Agent or your HTTP Referer.

and/or rather. Refers can be all kinds of things normally, but an empty referer *and* an empty HTTP User Agent is something I've specifically blocked.

oh, missed what you said earlier: you've some requests and they succeeded.

So more likely that the firewall is tcp-resetting the connection, because there's probably nothing different about your requests.

It's a feature to keep plebs like you from installing LoserDos from a usb drive.

hey Holla Forums I need your help

I accidentally 93MB of .rar files

what should I do...is this dangerous ?

A while back, I kept having this empty file with my first real-life name on it--and no extension--try to open when I boot into Windows 7. It would ask me which program I want to open it in. It disappeared after a while, but it finally came back, and I don't know what's causing it. It's located in C:/Users, and sits among the user profiles there. If anyone has any idea why this happens, and how I can prevent it, please let me know.

Hello Holla Forums. I'm sure coding is neat and I feel like I should pick up a language too, but my big question is...why?
What do you Do once you learn to code.
And I understand you can answer "literally anything you want" but..what is that anything?

I don't really personally see Why I would need to code, really, apart from just "it's a hobby so I just do random junk programs", and hobbies are nice, but what more is there to it?

Coding is a means to an end, not an end in itself. You use it to solve problems, and when you have no problems you either make some or don't bother.
It's like being a car mechanic. You don't have to know how a car works internally but when that car stops starting up, or you want to swap seats, or you want a TV built in, you'll be glad you learned beforehand.

There's a video game called Space Engineers, which lets you build massive spaceships and do cool things. It includes a programmable block which takes C# and does stuff. I didn't want to have to look through cargo containers to see how full they are, so I wrote a program that would poll the container, do some quick math and string manipulation, and draw a little progress bar on a screen. It's much more convenient to look at the side of the screen with a Cargo:[xxx ], and I could only do that through knowing C#.

It's like maths. You don't need it until you need it, and you don't know you need it until you can do it.

Would flashing the bios work in this scenario? If I make a liveUSB with the update exe, would it override the RTC settings and take me straight to bios with legacy boot enabled? I realized that the UEFI firmware is why I've had no luck resetting the bios by manual means.

suppose the website isnt basic. what then?

Can anyone recommend a modern FFT library? I look for one which is not necessarily very fast, but which is open source and liberally licensed.
Having used FFTW I read that its benchmarks are outdated, it is longer fastest; and of course its license is GPL.
Ideally I prefer a simple API that does not require a 10 line code to setup, is coded in a single file, and just has a pair of functions fft(x, n) and ifft(x, n) operating in-place.
What are other libraries you use and recommend?

What the hell happened to fullchan? And how do I fix this?

Hello, Holla Forums.
I usually just lurk and I hope that this is right thread to post my question in.

I decided to make my first free software, but I am facing dilemma about choosing programming language for that project.
I could use popular language, like C#, to do it. That would allow other people to join easily if they chose to.
Or I could use powerful language that would make it easier to implement things. But if I chose that language then a lot of people would have trouble joining because that language is not popular and it is not even C based so it looks really alien to most people.

What should I chose, popular language or powerful language?

Does anybody know a good win7 activator that's not a virus?

i need your help Holla Forums, i bought these two pieces of shit together to update a family PC, and now the fucking thing is stuck in an infinite boot loop, as soon as the wangblows 7 logo comes on screen the PC restarts itself.

i tried checked the HDD, it boots perfectly fine on my PC.
i tried changing the RAM, the boot loop still happens.
i tried booting the PC with a boot USB drive that i made (same OS), but it still goes into a loop.
i can't even install the motherboards drivers because i need the computer to boot successfully before i can even get to them.
i went into the BIOS and set the boot priority for each attempt (first for HDD boot, and second for USB boot), no luck, keeps restarting itself.
i tried looking for a solution to infinite boot loops on jewgle, and nothing came out of it, the solutions didn't help me in the slightest.

Disk is Sata2.
i tried with a 2GB memory and a 4GB one (that i bought together with the 2 pic related).
PSU is a 500w generic.
all the fans are working fine.

its just a regular PC, its got nothing weird installed on the disk, its the typical computer moms use to browse facebook and play card games. the stupid thing is driving me insane. how can i get it running?


i could upload mine for you, i have been using it for half a decade now and its always worked flawlessly everytime. though it might have to do with the version of windows, i use home premium 64x

if only this piece of shit site allowed me to fucking post without eternal "posting...."

oh fina-fucking-lee

in the 3 hours i've been attempting to make this post, i discovered another thing about the problem. I can make the computer boot if i set the SATA devices mode to IDE from the bios, setting it to SATA (which is what it should fucking run on) or RAID either boots me to the "shell>" thing which doesnt work at all or simply keeps repeating the loop boot problem.

this fucking disk should run in sata/AHCI mode, its a perfectly healthy HDD.

Probably hanging on some javascript. Try disabling it or umatrix origin or noscript to block the bad code.

Whichever you're most comfortable with. An unfinished project doesn't do anything for anybody.

Try disabling hardware acceleration?

Boot in safe mode. Check system & app logs. Can also install or remove drivers there.

safe mode caused boot loop too.

only fix was running the disk in IDE mode, but im pretty sure the problem is the mobo or the CPU that i bought yday. Because in my PC the disk boots, in the previous set of mobo & cpu work, it just doesn't wanna run in AHCI mode in this set of mobo/cpu

Well, if you have other CPU that could be used with new motherboard or another motherboard that could be used with new CPU swapping them would be best way to test which one is not working correctly.

huh... i kinda threw them away.

i already have far too many boxes and PC parts laying around.

If the old mobo wasn't set up for AHCI, IIRC you need to format the drive before it can be used in that way.

Anyone? I have the chance to make a liveUSB later today, but I don't want to get my hopes up if it's not going to work. I have my replacement internal keyboard coming sometime in the next week, but I'd really like to be able to get some work done before that.

i fixed it, after a whole fucking week i fixed it. and without formatting my HDD

Just boot it in IDE mode, change some registry for AHCI from 0x000003 to 0x000000, then i was able to boot fine.

after that the computer got its sound fucked up, spent another hour trying to figure out that i had to uninstall the old mobo sound driver and install the New™ one in a very specific way that i happened to figure out on my own.

my god am i glad to be done with that piece of shit


if you still need that loader, search "win7 loader by DAZ v2.2.2", i've been using v2.1.2 for years as i said before.

Windows Loader, but don't just google it and get whatever you find. Since the official download got removed, people have made their own "Windows Loader"s, which contain viruses.

I am setting up a little media client for my moms Christmas gift, I dont want her to have to click around like a computer to find something to watch (im going to use LIRC on it) Is there any kind of file browser specifically for MEDIA? something with basic previews and will open with mpv maybe playlist making too. I just need something simple that will launch in fullscreen and allow her to use it kinda like a netflix UI. All the media is stored in a single directory with music and movie sub directories, all movies have their own folder.

Are there any real benefits for using uBlock other than being able to manually filter annoying cosmetic elements if I'm also using uMatrix that I have set to deny anything that isn't absolutely necessary for what I want to do?

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2,

My computer does recognize it as a media device in the network but I can't browse its contents. When I activate the Kies via Wi-Fi the Kies on my computer says it's connecting for 3 minutes, and then does nothing. I can click the button on my tablet to make it try and connect to my computer again but the same result happens. It's not recognized by the USB port either. Obviously something is being sent, how can I make my computer and Kies recognize the device so I can transfer pictures?

You know that bar in firefox/palemoon, where you can drag tabs to save the pages for later?

How do I get full list of urls from that bar? I got over 9000 pages saved like that now.

That's just bookmarks, in your bookmark bar. If you want to export them do Ctrl+Shift+H > Import and Backup > Export bookmarks to HTML.You can open the file in your browser to view the list. (or open it with notepad++ or something)

If you want to specifically export a list of urls then sorry, don't know, there's probably an extension for that or something though.

Does anybody here have any experience in making small pcs that are only used to stream video files over external RTMP servers?

I know there's ways to control VLC playlists remotely, but I cannot find anything about a full build and what I would actually need.

I also know some Raspberry Pi versions are usually used for home media centers since they can be connected to hard disks, but I'm pretty I wouldn't be able to make an internet streaming device by using one, or could I?

Where should I start with this? I have a few spare parts I could use to make a dedicated pc, but if I can use a raspberry pi for it it would probably be more economic for electrical bills.

...

Just run ffmpeg over ssh.
However, depending on what video formats the server accepts, you might have to do transcoding, and for that a rpi just isn't powerful enough.

2-year-old Xbone no longer reads game discs and gives me an error titled "0x803f8001" every time a disc is inserted, which essentially says that the system can't verify whether you actually own the game you're trying to play and therefore will not put it through for security reasons. This usually happens if you click on a game's thumbnail in your library without first putting in the disc itself. I've tried pretty much everything suggested on various forums I've found except for either shipping it off to somewhere else to have it repaired, trying to repair it myself or buying a new console entirely. My mom and stepdad both suggested a lens cleaner for the player since the discs themselves are basically scratch-free but I don't even know if that will work. Any ideas, Holla Forums? I can't go to Holla Forums with this issue since they'll just call me a faggot for playing on a console and completely ignore my post like once before so this is basically my last resort.

Is there anything I can do with my phone now that it's IMEI blocked? It's shitty having a iphone 6s turn into a huge ipod.

Is it worth getting VPN before I start torrenting?

Depends where you live. In some countries, mostly third world shitholes, the government doesn't care about pirates, so it's a waste of money, on others, US, UK and staya, you should have already bought one before posting here.

My hdd won't boot windows. What do I do. I don't think there is any physical damage. The bios menu seems to recognize it, but trying to boot it just gives a black screen. Will a sata to usb work fine for plugging it into another pc without having to install it into the case? Would using a windows iso to repair it do more harm than good?

Have you tried booting into safe mode?

Have you tried: cleaning the data part (picture side up) of the disk with a mirco finer cloth, placing the disk the wrong way for one to two cycles and fianlly running a mirco fiber cloth around the mouth of the BlueRary slot? I have the same problem with my 8 year old or so PS3, doing the above more oftern than not has solved the doubble read error (where the disk reads and almost instantly reads again), at least for the next attempt at reading. This has made me write off BlueRary as a format.

I couldn't boot into safe mode. I think I figured it out. I inserted a windows iso, and the drive showed up as empty. How do I recover the data before it gets overwritten.

Solved, had to reboot both the device and the computer and turned wifi sharing off.

This is actually fucking amazing.
Anybody have any idea how I can skip to next file queued up or just pause the file currently streaming?

Right now my console looks like this and I can't write shit in it

I'm using ffmpeg to stream a playlist of files to a rtmp server btw

Write a shell script and have it start ffmpeg in the background and then skip to the next playlist item either when there's input or the current item is done.

Well that's the problem exactly, there's no ffmpeg command that tells it to skip over to the next file queued up so I have absolutely no clue how to do that.

I can only think of stopping the streaming, then starting it again with a new file, but that's kinda shitty since it interrupts it in the middle.

Any way to reset NVRAM manually on a hardware level?

I can't access BIOS due to my keyboard not working (internal's busted, external has USB Legacy turned off.) I reset the CMOS and have gotten to a RTC battery low, press f2 page that blocks me from my bootloader. Since I can't press f2, I'm wondering if it's possible to reset the NVRAM values (i.e. By a jumper or by booting sans components) to see if I can re-enable USB Legacy.

I've been troubleshooting this for days so would appreciate answers for my actual question before 'try x to y, faggot' replies, where y is anything but 'reset the NVRAM via hardware.'

Toshiba Satellite S55-5294. No, there's nothing in the manual, available documentation, or via search engine on this.

is there a straightforward-tldr-way to un-telemetry windows 10? i dont think this warrants a thread and has probably been asked to the point of annoyance. i only use the partition for a few games i cannot run on linux. theres a thread on Holla Forums but most of them are technically inept, so i'd rather not take that too seriously. win 10 was preinstalled, thats why it is even on the disk at all.

also funnily enough, this
from another thread in the catalog is true. win10 is slow and unresponsive as fuck, its embarassing.

also what is this uefi shit? i was so long out of the loop that this is the first time i consciously encounter it

don't think there's any way around it without fixing the internal keyboard like you're doing. desktops sometimes have a jumper to reset efi, but don't think notebooks do. if I had any other idea I'd tell you.

Could Holla Forums give their recommendations for media players to use on windows?
I've been using VLC for a long time but anons keep bullying me for being such a faggot.

That's because VLC takes forever to load subtitles and sometimes suffers from screen tearing. /a/ will tell you the best video player. I use KDE's Dragonplayer, but I'm not a total elitist like some people.

Thanks for the advice!

After always being able to find stuff, Windows Search is suddenly being picky and I have no idea why. Despite certain .pdf files being in a folder, when I punch in the name it claims there are no results. Yet it can find specifc .gif files just fine, as well as folders. Strangely, it can find one .png but ignores another. Filename isn't an issue as they're basically sentence, phrases and all.

Google is no help. The folder where the majority of my stuff is is already indexed and restarting changed nothing. I only ever use Windows Search when I want to find something in the clutter so God knows when this happened. Anyone have any solutions?

tl;dr Windows Search is acting up for seemingly no reason and it needs to be fixed ASAP.

Oh, and I'm running Windows 7.

When I went to install transmission-qt on muh OpenBSD, it pulled down avahi as though it was some kind of demented dependency.
On Slackware it doesn't need avahi.
Slackware = excellent userland, shitty af kernel. OpenBSD = shitty af userland, bombdiggity kernel
Explain me this Holla Forums!


florence.sourceforge.net/english.html
t-sato.in.coocan.jp/xvkbd/

Well first of all, the userland is everything that OpenBSD provides as part of the base sets. The ports aren't part of the OS any more than a tarball you download and compile yourself. That stuff isn't held to the same quality standards.
And I don't know why they have avahi needed, but it's probably a Qt dependency for some reason. Some of the dependencies are questionable. I have these installed even though I don't use Gnome or any kind of desktop environment whatsoever:
gnome-icon-theme
gnome-icon-theme-symbolic
hicolor-icon-theme
But I'm not about to compile Firefox myself on this little laptop... And unfortunately I can't just delete it because I need it sometimes.
My advice is use a lean FLAVOR when one is available (-no_x11 is my favorite), or just use a text program like rtorrent. Then you can even run it in tmux and shove it in the background (detached).

Windows Update keeps restoring updates I've hidden, can I do something about it?

How do I use wine?
I am on linux mint and I use playonlinux and I create a new virtual drive for every single game but I heard it's possible to use wine.

How do I do that?
There's nothing on the internet which is a specific wine general step-by-step guide for Holla Forums illiterates like me.
bleaze helb :ddd

it just works.
all you need to do is download it and tell the relevant application to open with "wine windows program loader"

So I use stuff just like in windows?
Just use winetricks dlls, download all libraries, then double click on the game icon and it auto installs it in wine?

So I use stuff just like in windows?
Just use winetricks dlls, download all libraries, then double click on the game icon and it auto installs it in wine?

the most brainless way is to go to the software manager and install wine through there. Give it a little bit and see if the update manager gives you any new updates. Once you have the latest version, then yes. It just works.

you might need to right-click>open with>other application...>wine windows program loader
but it should be the default for .exe files. you can make tweeks as needed (like changing windows version and such) with the "wine" applet in the start menu.

Tons of programs don't work, but it's sometimes worth it to search online to see if anyone came up with a patch. They might give you some shit to paste into the terminal that fixes the issue.

also, wine does come with a virtual C: drive. programs will install into that and can be viewed in the previously mentioned wine applet. though this is of little consequence to you unless you want to uninstall something (and even then you generally don't need it) as desktop shortcuts work with no issue.

I see, thank you.

So I guess I should stick to playonlinux then?
Unless winehq has some installer or something similar.

I've noticed there for some programs there are "source codes" that usually being with #!/bin/bash and winehq says I should use that.
Do I have to copy and paste it into a .txt and then make that .txt into a .exe or into a .reg?
Copying and pasting it into a terminal doesn't seem to work as the terminal assumes that each line is a different command, example


[ "$PLAYONLINUX" = "" ] && exit 0
source "$PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources"
TITLE="Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne"
PREFIX="WarcraftIII"
WINEVERSION="1.2.3"
POL_SetupWindow_Init
POL_Debug_Init

the terminal would assume "pol_debug_init" is a different line.
That's why I assume I would have to create a program using the code but I don't really know how.

Yeah, I got pretty good with file browsing, to the point where I can identify where almost everything is installed (as long as it isn't something complicated as in linux there are locked directories etc.).

For example this playonlinux.com/en/app-19-Warcraft_III_The_Frozen_Throne.html
When I click on "install this program" it takes me to playonlinux://www.playonlinux.com/repository/download.php?id=19 and if I try www.playonlinux.com/repository/download.php?id=19 it says "please open with playonlinux" but that's not possible because I can't open a website with playonlinux.

There is, however, the source code posted on the website; so should I copy and paste that source code onto a .txt and then make it executable or make it .bin or what?

i honestly have no idea if it's more or less compatible than wine.

Here's a list of tested programs:
appdb.winehq.org

there was one time i had a problem (i think it was an audio issue) that i looked up. they basically said "go to some directory, paste this line, now it works"

Holla Forums, I want to code and make a big website. A big dynamic website like Kickstarter.com. So my question is this: Is it really, truly, absolutely worth it to learn how to code? Of course I don't want to have to hire a web designer/a graphic designer, but programming from scratch is so tedious and mind-numbing. Is it truly worth those months of hard learning?

If it's gonna bring you big $$$$$ then yes.
Otherwise, no.
You're probably better off paying someone (or a group of them) off to do it for you while you seek for ways to monetize it by e.g. doing marketing, getting sponsors and donors and backers or working for some other job.

if you're a poorfag, however, then it's not an option and you have to do the dirty work yourself.

Do you wake up every morning looking forward to the thought of coding?

mpc-hc, since I doubt you have any filters installed, install it through the cccp codec pack (yes I'm aware that's a tautology).


Whitelisting kernels in the bios because "muh viruses". I just turned on legacy mode rather that learning how to insert the signature for my kernel


Yes, but only if you use the language of love German

not him, but i love programming microcontrollers. that's what i plan on doing for a living.

Web development, however, is bullshit.

it's me again
1. I barely wake up every day, I'm depressed
2. I don't do coding but no, I don't look forward to my daily work towards my job (and towards my income), yet I still do it

Thanks for your advice. It looks like programming is indeed the shitshow I imagined it to be. Too bad so many successful websites were founded by programmers. It looks like I'm at a disadvantage for now.


Microcontrollers aren't going anywhere. I'm sure you'll find a great career if you remain determined. It's people like you that drive this great country forward and provide hundreds of millions of people with the goods they want and need. Good luck.


The only true purpose to life is experiencing happiness. And according to modern studies, the only true factor determining happiness is social relationships. Unrelated studies, like those on solitary confinement in prisons, assert this research. It sounds like you are living in a solitary-confinement situation. So my advice is talk more, getting on CS:GO or [your favorite multiplayer game] with a mic and talking with people should go very far for you.

This is Holla Forums not /v9k/ nor /adv/ nor /r9k/.
Yes, I do live in solitary confinement.
Yes, I always wanted to go to prison because I disagreed with someone that syrian immigration might not be the best thing ever or that white males are the absolute worst scum and menace in society (someone whose sole subjects of discussion are CNN/MSNBC/BBC/ABC articles).
Thank you for the advice though, but the problem is no longer -me-, it's the fact that I can go to prison and/or have my entire career (source of income) ruined for mere wrongthink, which is then spread by gossip to HR to bosses to references etc. I dont need to explain this to anybody on 8ch.

You need to adapt yourself to your environment. You'll kill yourself if you think there's any other way. Yeah, it sucks that we can't speak our minds without social repercussions, but that's what Holla Forums is for. Have a little hope, we just won the election and all three branches of government. It's a perfect victory. Things are only going to get better from here

lol wut?
they're already everywhere.

Wat do?

Research shows that quality of social interaction is more important than quantity and that loneliness comes from unsatisfying social interactions.
I've been wanting to do that half my life, so I don't think that's a real problem anymore.
It's not about that, it's that to socialize, I would have to be incredibly dishonest and not talk about anything at all, unless it would be me repeatedly saying "I agree", this added to the fact that people would be advocating for their own demise (and my own) and wildly bullying and ostracizing anyone who can be even remotely perceived as "racist". Add to that envy and jealousy towards people who aren't complete failures (especially half-successful people like me) and you have a recipe for disaster.
I won't go into that discussion - but no.

I won't go into that discussion - but no. I highly doubt it. I'm not saying it's certain and I'm not pessimistic but I predict things will only get worse in the next 10-50 years.

Are there any good, free VPNs that don't log your info and whatnot?
I just wanna torrent safely but I don't wanna shell out for a VPN since that kinda defeats the purpose of torrenting

Where can I find a comprehensive entry to modem hacking and spoofing?

I did actually find a couple of guys just like that but we never became close.
We'd talk to each other every chance we'd get but we never exchanged phone numbers or any other contact information as neither of us initiated that.

Great advice, it's clearly *my* fault for everything that happens to and around me.

are there any career paths in technology that don't require you to be good at math?

I'm thinking i'd try being an IT engineer, or really any job that involves working on the computer itself.

You know, it's actually kind of funny. I decided to check Google one last time and saw a suggestion that I figured wouldn't work considering I'd already tried it: physically hitting the Xbox. I already tried hitting it from the top above where the disc drive is but I managed to find a YouTube video (youtube.com/watch?v=pDoDqTaIwIc) where some guy flipped the console over, hit the underside several times, flipped it back over and then plugged it back in. Now after doing the same thing, not only does it once again read the discs put into it but they also go in smoothly without pausing or grinding. Sometimes, beating the shit out of your electronics DOES fix the problem.

i'm already going to a community college, what degree path should I start working towards?

a lot of jobs labeled "electrician" require competence in PLC, VFD's, ohm's law, etc.
These are high paying jobs that you can do if you know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide (also the tech stuff i mentioned before).

I can do the fundamental math but anything more complicated than binomials flies right over my head.

as a general rule, tech has little to do with math.
There's some high level math going on in the design of semiconductors and whatnot, but for everyone else it's easy shit. The biggest math-related barrier you're likely to come across is working with non decimal notation. Binary and hexadecimal notation are both very important (most of the time) but otherwise you just need to know how to write an equation and the processor will do the actual math for you.
If you're looking for component level shit, Ohm's law is basically all you need to know as far as math goes Current=Voltage/Resistance.

Also, even seemingly mathy stuff is pretty damn simple. Take vid related as an example:
youtube.com/watch?v=j4OmVLc_oDw

What this does is it defines a place the ball is supposed to be and compares that to where it is to get "error." a few calculations are then made:
error x "Pval" = P adjustment
Integral of error curve x "Ival" = I adjustment
Derivative of error curve x "Dval" = D adjustment
add all adjustments together to get total adjustment which is then sent to the motors as a change in their requited position.
P, I, and D values are set by the person tuning the system until the desired behavior is obtained.
sounds complicated, right?
Doing this math with pen and paper would be a bitch.

Luckily, you're usually doing this via computer (or, if you wanna get oldschool, capacitors and op-amps) which does the hard shit for you.

the P adjustment is easy as shit
the I adjustment requires an integral, which all you need to do code wise is add the current error to a total error (or subtract in the case of overshoot) every scan cycle. This sum IS your integral.
the D adjustment requires a derivative, but simply subtracting the current error from the previous error is such a close approximation that it works.
As far as tuning methods go, you can just fiddle with knobs or use some cookie cutter formula to get the behavior you desire.

Math is only a big deal in technology if you're getting into component design shit. You're likely not going to have to deal with any of it for most tech related careers.

What's the best alternative to gmail? I tried logging into an old gmail account while on vacation, and they're literally forcing me to give me my phone number in order to sign in. I have a youtube channel whose email address is now dead (back before google+), and I might be at risk of being unable to sign back into my youtube channel.

I'm getting really fucking tired of Google's shit now that they are threatening me with the loss of my personal data. "Don't want to give us your phone number? I guess I'll just withhold service until you do so :^)" INB4 Boomer response of: well... they do have the legal right to do so, so I guess it's a perfectly good thing to do!

If you pay for email you will get actual support. I got mine through a domain registrar, bought a domain for use only with my email, and let them host it. I'm not going to advertise but it's not that expensive per year (mere dollars) considering how fucking centrally important email is to every other kind of account.

If I have any kind of question or concern I can open a ticket or call them if need be (never have had to call them) and get a response within 30 minutes if marked urgent or high.

I think that's worth it

cock.li apparently doesn't work properly

only if you choose to use it that way. a kid could use the interface and the default settings should be fine. they even have a step-by-step guide with fancy pictures on their site. the size requirement makes dd inefficient to use for this purpose (as in time and disk space), although it may be a tool of choice if the disk is already faulty

Is there a program capable of detecting which ios version a locked ipod is running?

I need to downgrade the damn thing but I need to know which version it's on first.

I'm reading about setting up OpenVPN on GNU/Linux. So do I actually have to setup an OpenVPN server just to connect to a VPN? I'm confused because I just want to connect and everywhere keeps talking about setting up both a client and server.

My question is where can I learn more about computers outside of college? Are there any good books to try an understand everything? I don't know what most files on my os are for, or how it works. Or how most things work. I'm trying to cure my ignorance but struggle to do so, as a class I went to before was just shit like how to email, use excel, etc and just use of programs instead of how things work, how to maintain them, etc.
Are the "for dummies" books any good? I know I need to cure my ignorance as everything is shoving the need for email addresses on everything, and connecting everything. It's harder and harder to avoid.

It becomes easier to understand once you have a problem that needs solving. I learned the ins and outs of Windows by having a shit machine, but really wanting to play vidya, so I had to squeeze every bit of performance out of it that I could.

For instance, I would
run>taskmgr

and start killing processes to find out which ones free up some useful RAM, and which ones crash the OS. That got me to thinking, "Maybe I should search these before I start closing them" and voila, stuff to read about what's going on in my system.

I'm changing PCs in a few days and the new one is gonna have an SSD. How difficult will be to plug my old HDD into it as a storage device? Will simply formating the C drive and then plug&play work? I know it's a retarded question , I've never done such a thing before.

For convenience, if your HDD boot partition is equal or smaller than the SSD capacity, you can clone it to the SSD, inject some drivers, and won't need to re-install anything, though I would advise trying this only if you're using the same OS on each computer.

Barring that, if you're going to start fresh on the new PC, yes, it is as simple as connecting your old HDD, formatting it using built-in operating system formatting utilities, and then using it as if it were a flash drive you never removed.

You will likely want to connect it internally to the computer's motherboard and power supply, unless converting it to an external hard drive is more convenient for your situation.

For that, you will need an extra SATA cable. The computer's power supply will almost certainly (99.9% chance) have a spare SATA power cable integrated into it, and connecting that is as simple as "square block, square hole."

Just be sure to connect it with your computer disconnected from power, while sitting on a hard floor and keeping a piece of your skin in contact with the bare metal of your computer case at all times. This will prevent any static shocks from damaging your motherboard (which you really should not need to fondle much anyway).

my current hdd has two partitions right now. C for OS and some proggrams and D for everything else. If I format C and keep D intact will I need to anything else other than plug it? Both rigs are running Win 7. Curent one is 32 the new one will be 64. Thing I'm worried about is BSOD on startup.

You won't have any problems. Just install windows on the SSD first - before connecting the HDD - and then delet the HDD's C:\ partition from within the new OS installation.

Once you do that, you can expand the existing D:\ partition to occupy the freed space.

So:
1)New rig with installed win 7 SSD
2) Connect old HDD with win 7
3) Delete OS from HDD
4)????????
5) Profit.

So it won't matter that the HDD is a boot drive when the SSD is set as 1st boot device?

Yep. Actually, now that I remember it, you should be able to delete partitions right from the windows installer, so you can actually just connect both right from the get go. I'm a retard.

Good thing is, SATA is hot-swappable anyway, so your worst-case scenario is that you boot the SSD and have your HDD powered, but without the data cable, then connect the data cable once you get to the desktop.

Toggle is when you push a switch once to activate it, then push it again to deactivate it.

What is it called when you have to hold the switch to keep it active? Is there even a term for this?

I'm pretty sure that's called a dead man's switch.

I belive it is called, push to [thing].

is it time for itt: tech makes a word??

No, as a dead man`s switch is a button that is pushed in moments when all hope is lost. E.g. a detonator that is pushed just before death to ensure that your plan success. Or a switch to hit to ensure that your HDD`s are destroyed, leaving no incriminating data left.
In some video games there is a button you hold down, talk into the mic and then release after you are done. This is called, push to talk.

So if I open a program with a GUI from a terminal, how can I make it so I don't have to have the terminal open to keep the program open?

You can't. Try using something like dmenu.

Can't I hide it/minimize it some way?
Using i3 btw.

exec guiapp &
nohup guiapp &

worked 1000% on urxvt, thanks,

Just the VPN client. Your VPN provider would run the server.

Not exactly. If you're dead, how can you push a button? Deadman's switch activates on releasing the button or some are timer based. If the countdown clock doesn't keep getting reset every day for example, it triggers. Think suicide bombers. They'll arm the device before going in to the airport but if they get shot their finger lets go of the trigger and it activates.

I tried installing Gentoo again. But now when I reboot nothing shows up in grub, it's just a command line. I can access my hard drive doing ls /. But I can't seem to boot. I'm using Grub2 by the way.

how do i get a new ip

Mom insistent on using Windows. Been a long time since I did but I don't want her to pay for Office products, anyone know a decent unblocker?

(I tried installing her LibreOffice and she told me it was too 'simple'.)

A) if on a DSL/VDSL/(Dial up?) Connection, simply reset your router on most cases. However doing so to oftern and frequently may cause your ISP to take action ( e.g. place a cooldown, set a lock or a hard limit, place you under a mircoscope, send you a "new and improved" router (free of charge and with direct hard coded remote support as a added bonus for you to enjoy) as your one may appear to being having issues connecting to their network).
B)If on a fibre connection, almost cetainly contact your ISP and ask them to either place you in a faster rotating pool or just change it out right. However this is just from what I have read.

But what did you read? My issue is security, everything is so connected these days it's making me paranoid. I want to know everything from firewalls, to how viruses spread, to what they do, how they do it, how antivirus software works, etc. I know basics like you get them opening dodgy links or downloading things, and they have a few types e.g spyware, ransoms are, malware, etc. That new ones are always made, and so on. But I want to know more like say I download something that's 99.9% legit, how could I spot suspicious files mixed in. I don't know what most files do, or how they work. I mean text documents have multiple types, rich text format, txt, doxc ( I think) and all are just for typing/reading alone. That's a simple example, I don't know the difference between them other than certain documents aren't allowed in attachments. Atleast not officially afaik when sending my cv to employers.
My point is I don't know how my computer should run ideally, or have an idea of how it runs in general, I only notice when it runs badly. I need to learn how everything works so that I can protect and maintain it., and make sure it only has what's needed, no issues of downloading anti virus software only to have it come bundled with other shit I didn't want that may even be harmful.
Would looking into coding be a start? I figured that, but then thought how coding/programming is usually done via additional software, which made me think it was illogical getting unfamiliar software, to try and learn about how software works, as I would be learning from a base a don't understand.

Greetings, all--I need a bit of advice regarding a browser based on the infamous botnet, Slimjet.

Just as I'd feared, when I checked its outbound packets as soon as it started, there were some being sent to Google--contrary to its developers' (as well as every other Chromium-based browser dev's) claim that such connection code was gutted completely.

I only need a Chrome-like browser to play a certain browser game (you can probably guess which--only one worth playing really). If I were to use it for that purpose alone, would I still have to worry about Google datamining my PC, or otherwise stealing information?

In addition, does anyone know of a Chromium-based browser that actually doesn't contact Google? And, finally, should the previous questions turn out negative, is there a way to block these browsers' connections to Google?

How can I self-host my email server in Switzerland?

t. Hillary Clinton

I've asked this here before but nobody had an answer, trying again.

I use Firefox and like to scroll by bringing up the cursor show in the image, with middle mouse click. For over a year now and between two PCs this thing will intermittently and randomly "stick" scrolling and whatever keys or buttons I jam do nothing until (usually) it hits the top or bottom of the page when suddenly all of the keys I hit come through as if queued.

Sometimes it will go over a week without this happening, other times it will happen every time I try to use it for days on end. On a long thread if it gets stuck scrolling slowly it might take a fucking minute to hit the top or bottom and all I can do is sit there and wait.

I do not know what causes this except it seems possibly to have something to do with javascript, as in if I disable all javascript it doesn't seem to happen.

This shit is infuriating.

holy shit are you me?

Got a W10 computer solely for playing games on.
Don't care about privacy, as I use Mint on my current computer to do everything. This computer will be solely for playing video games.

That being said, can someone link me to the page on Holla Forums about removing W10 telemetry? Or any other links that can unfuck it as much as possible, like removing processes and programs that slow me down?

Tried Iridium? It's the one with most google shit gutted. Fort a brief moment it was phoning home but then the devs said it were a leftover from some testing stuff they were doing, so take that with a grain of salt. It doesn't have flash but I guess you could simple grab the dll elsewhere and it would run without problems. Opera and Vivaldi are are also chrome based

If you are going to use the browser just to play that specific game and nothing else there's nothing for google to datamine, they want your browsing habits

I hate that circle thing it always scrolls lighting fast to the bottom/top or scrolls slower than a snail, until it zaps to the bottom. If you middle click again it unsticks, or at least used to before I disabled it ages ago

github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker

For now, a lack of Flash means nothing, as the game doesn't use it. As for Iridium, I saw talk that it phones home to German company instead. Only one random person without proof, though, so that could just be an unsubstantiated rumor.


Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but I was worried that they'd glean other information from my computer through more passive and surreptitious means (e.g., scanning installs, et cetera), in addition. Though in this day and age, that may be less paranoia and more wariness.

Anyway, thanks for the reply. I'll keep Iridium in mind just in case Slimjet gets on my nerves.

Have you tried clicking middle mouse on it or at all in the window again?

Which android browser is good? I've using naked browser which I like but I've just got a new tablet and want to try something new. I'm also salty that naked browser free version doesn't let me export bookmarks.

How is brave browser? I hear it has built in ad blocking. My new tablet's bootloader is locked down tight so I don't have access to root and can't use adaway.

On a related note, is adguard legit?

Yes, a million times, it does not do anything until either it scrolls to the top or bottom of the page, or sometimes randomly the queued commands come through earlier than that. Trust me, it has been clicked to hell and back

Does anyone know of a decent Holla Forums image downloader script that works with deduplicated images? I think there was one named 'vichanctrl' or something along those lines that was written in python, but I can't find it. If I recall correctly, it was hosted on gitlab.

For anyone interested, I found this script that works with posts made before deduplication was implemented
github.com/ScoreUnder/scripts-and-dotfiles/blob/master/bin/Holla Forums-download

I tried converting it to download newer posts correctly, but I couldn't figure out how to number the images correctly, i.e. this format: {epoch time}-{image #}_{original name}.{ext}. The tim variable used to have {epoch time}-{image #}, but now it's the hash.


I use Lightning, it's on F-Droid.

You can also use CTRL+Z, and then bg; disown, if you opened it up normally (without nohup or &)

Thanks for suggesting lightning. It looks quite a bit better than naked and has more settings.

How about keyboard? I use AOSP on my phone but my tablet only comes with lg and Google keyboard.

Whenever I'm in a terminal I use Hacker's Keyboard, but otherwise I stick to the AOSP one. It comes with ctrl, alt, meta and arrow keys, which could be useful depending on what your doing. You can also set it so that instead of going to a related key on longpress, it just repeats the key like on a normal keyboard.
All that said, I prefer the AOSP keyboard just because of the way it looks.

Different user here.
Persoanlly I useAnySoftKeyboard also on F-Droid.

Based off of your description, infinityctl fits it to a tee. If it is proving hard to find, I can upload my copy of it to the /g/entoo vola (volafile.io/r/BEEPi, 24hr file expiration)

I have tried "$1",$1,"[email protected]/* */" and likely some other combonation that I can't recall. In all cases the end result is .7z being created in /tmp, the command chain works fine when done manually. From what in renemner "$x" works with my other aliases.

I think I found a way, I haven't tired it yet, but you need to create a program that calls the grub library, this is in c by the way, and compile it with a .mod extension, I think.

I have an idea for an app, that I believe would be fairly successful if marketed well, but I don't have the money required to pay a coder. I would work with someone that has the know how to build apps, and share the revenue with them, but that would require that they trust the app would be successful. It would also require that I tell them the idea, and I would have to trust they would steal the idea from me.

This is a basic theortical guide,
0) get a VPS hosted in Switzerland, ensuring that you have root access and that the distrobution (If it is Ubuntu or similar it should be a simple as following the guide vertabim) has the packages needed. 1) Follow a setup guide, I would suggest the Arstechncia one (There have been at least one majorish issue pointed out in the comments, how the article in question probably was updated soon after. It shouldn't effect the setup though).

FFmpeg, the manaul will be able to give you the proper commands. However it is likely that your question has already been asnwered to StackEnchange.

It shouldn't be to hard to modify the kill switch that some VPN clients use to do this. There is a simpler version posted on one of the VPN services page's.

Yes, I know that these speakers are basically just fucking cheap ass car speakers screwed into a plywood cabinet. No, I do not give a fuck.

That is not what I asked though, why do I need their software and not just add VPN with Windows

Isn't Windows' built-in "VPN support" only compatible with Microsoft's proprietary VPN protocol?

Like, is it even possible for a company to host a Windows-compatible VPN server (and have appropriate control over it) without running closed-source code and/or having to rent out server software licenses?

If so, there's your answer; if not, then it's probably just for QA.

Like, as the other user suggested, Mullvad, they make their own client so that instead of walking people through how to configure their OS's VPN settings, they can just say "download this and log in".

Choosing the drivers manually doesn't help either

How can I--for a short while--relive the dial-up speeds of mid-90s internet?

If you're on Windows, try netlimiter. Although I used it use it a decade or so ago and it had a tendency to cause things to crash, it might work. You can limit bandwidth even per application.

If they are single digits,
REN PREFIX*.* PREFIX0*.*

Highest GPU would be a TitanX.

MB output is line level. Connect it to an amp along with your speakers. Probably won't hurt but I wouldn't risk trying it directly in case it burns out your audio chip. Electronicsfags correct me pls.

Set your router's bandwidth cap to 56Kbps.

I looked that up on alternativesto.net, wondershaper seems to be working.

Got it. Thanks. Everything's working now...well, I mean, working as intended, at least.

I was not expecting it to be that high,considering the power of the 8320. So based off that AMD`s highest current "equivalent" would be a 480 and when eventually released the 490?

A) running may VM`s to reduce power and save physical space. B) to run a very large DB in RAM
Without the model number it is hard to give a more accurate estimate. It is very likely to be ECC, so add on about 100-250 to your overall estimate for them.

Your question is a bit vague, tbh. The real answer is it depends. If you're running something that's not CPU bound like half-life 1, a Titan X is going to give more fps than AMD's current lineup. If there's a specific game you are wondering about, try playing it for a while and see if CPU is maxed. Many games still just max out 1 core and not really use the rest much so a vidya card upgrade might not help them. If your CPU core isn't maxed out, then it might. Look for benchmarks for the games you are interested in. If you're asking what is most cost effective, AMD is best.

Is it bad if you put a HDD on top of a CD drive?

My first Gentoo kernel was built and installed using genkernel, which also made the initramfs. However, I recently upgraded my kernel and built it manually; copying over the oldconfig. So now if I try to boot from the new kernel it results in a panic, presumably because there's no initramfs.

So, s it possible to build an initramfs with genkernel for a manually configured kernel?

I also want to mention that the CD drive isn't used that much, but the HDD is.

Nevermind, it appears that you can use genkernel to build an initramfs for a manually compiled kernel. Just had to scour the handbook for a bit.

I recently got a some parts from my folks and am having issues with installation. The computer powers up perfectly fine, but my display isn't receiving any input. I've tested this with three different compatible graphics cards and can only assume the issue is one with the motherboard (pic related). It lacks an integrated setup so I can't test it independently from a graphics card.

Parts used in current assembly are:

Additionally I have only tested it on HDMI, as I lack any DVI input cables at this time.

Would anyone have any experience with this issue and its possible causes?

Arre you positive that the screen is connected? If it is, try a graphics card that goes back to the days of ADD2 support to see if the bios isn't allowing pxcie16 or whatever or something.

Have you tried updating or reseting the UEFI/BIOS? Did both HDMI ends "click" in? Is the GPU fully seated in the PCIE slot, by this I mean did it "click" in and bring the the front tab fully up?

So I have my system on dual-boot with Jewdows 8 and Linux Mint. Typically I use Mint, but sometimes I reboot onto Windows when my friends want to play a game.

Well somewhere down the line I installed something retarded on my computer that made it almost unusable. Browsers said that there was no internet connection, programs hogging the cpu and memory that can't be deleted, etc. So I tracked down most of the files to the SysWOW64 folder. I'm sure you can see where this is going from here.

I jumped onto Mint and accidentally deleted the whole SysWOW64 folder and now everytime I try to boot back onto Windows 8 it just gives me the blue screen for a few seconds and then crashes.

I almost want to just delete all the Windows content and get on with life, but I don't feel like dealing with constant bitching. My question is whether a copy of the SysWOW64 folder is sitting around somewhere on the internet where I can just download it, put it back where it belongs. Not even sure if that would even work, but it's worth a shot.

Alternatively of course, I could just reinstall Windows, but I have no idea where I put the disk and my partitions are already a horrid mess that I don't even have the slightest clue how to fix.

Eat something somewhere that makes you shit out a recovery disk that you can run commands with to do sfc /scannow or the shit that is like that.

I have reset the bios, made sure that my hdmi cable was inserted properly and the grapics card is properly inserted into the PCIE slot. Still nothing.

Do you have any other motherboards laying around, or do you already know that they work with the graphics cards?

Have you tried checking your trash in LinuxMint?

I have tested two of the three graphics cards on my previous motherboard and they are in working order. I've yet to test the ZOTAC, but am currently operating on the assumption that it works.

When you turn on your powersupply, is there lights that do anything on the motherboard? Fans work?

I think I may have found the answer. When I boot up one of the options is to boot in Windows Recovery Mode (or something like that) and in there it offers to wipe the C: drive and restore the computer to its original settings. There isn't any risk of the computer deleting anything from any of my other drives right? For refernence, I boot from an external hard drive with some sort of multiboot thing that I put on it, but the Windows OS itself is on the C: drive. If there are no concerns, I guess I can just copy whatever programs and files I want to save over to one of my other hard drives and then have the C: drive go back to its default settings. It'll probably fuck up my multiboot and partitions even more, but whatever. If it works then it works I guess.

Yeah, it's empty. The files were deleted permanently, not moved to the trash. As a last result I guess I could look into file recovery programs.

Lights and fans power on properly

Shit man.

I would search google for that C: drive format thing and if there is a chance that searching doesn't help, go on the superuser stackexchange site and ask, because this shit is risky if you don't have backup.

hot or no

A little hot, but that depends on your heatsink/fan, airflow, ambient temperature and system load.
If it's a good heatsink, good airflow and the ambient temperature is especially cool, with no load, it's definitely hot.

Is there a way to use a touchscreen on a linux tablet to draw on a linux desktop?

I see GfxTablet does this, but it's meant to be used with Android on the input side. I don't see anything available if both computers are linux.

Took a lot of trial and error but I figured it out.

On both machines:
git clone github.com/MerlijnWajer/uinput-mapper.gitcd uinput-mappermake

Then as root on the computer you want to send the input to:
nc -l -p 8000 | ./input-create -C

Then as root on the computer you want to send the input from:
./input-read /dev/input/event0 -C -D > /dev/tcp/IPADDRESSOFOTHERCOMPUTER/8000

The terminal I need to set the initial passwd for the user in order to get sudo privileges to install packages. Also, since I can't set my password, I can't ctrl+alt+f2 and use that terminal since I have no password to log in with.

Some of the SteamOS documentation stated that the default password is set as "desktop", but that hasn't worked in any application of credential authorization I've tried. This is also the 3rd clean install with the exact same results. (md5 sums checked).

Not being able to get into the terminal is crippling everything I know how to do on linux. I really don't understand how skipping a user/pass during installation is even possible without being a huge security risk, but I'm wondering if the only way is to chroot from a live environment and somehow install a new terminal or fix the existing one (which I'm not too confident about doing).

I hope this made sense, and i hope someone knows exactly where I'm fucking up, because I have searched everywhere, and you guys are really my last hope.

Email client question:
Let's say I have a contact form on a website without text input (email+name field only).

Is it possible to create an automated mailing list with it? For example if my email client (Thunderbird for example) receives a message through that form that it automatically adds a person into a mailing list?

Do they outsource their manufacturing to chinese sweatshop factories or something?
Everyone fucking does that, unfortunately.
Hopefully that will change with Trump's presidency.

so you want to send a email to a bunch of people via webform?

shit, now I got it
you could write a PHP script to do that. shouldn't be a problem.

No, no, what I'm trying to achieve is email client-related specifically.

For example, someone enters his email in the webform and it goes into my email, containing his email and whatever message I set with it automatically (since there's no input for that). Let's say that part is settled.

What I'm interested in is email client part (for example Thunderbird). Let's say I received 10 emails like that, containing a fixed message. Is there such a thing (whether an addon or functionality) in email client to add all those messages to some mailing list so I don't have to do it manually?

In another words:
[Someone enters their email in web form] (done) -> [It enters my mailbox containing their email] (done) -> [Email client automatically adds them on some mailing list] (what I want) -> I send notification to all subscribers (final goal)

do tech jobs exist where you don't have to know any languages? i fucking suck at anything programming related but i'm good at everything else. apparently sysadmin'ing is dead and dev ops is the new thing, and you need to know some languages for that?

you can do that via many ways
for instance, create a address book somwhere and make the webform add a recipient. then just sync thunderbird or whatever to get the fresh list
or you can update a postfix conf file with aliases. then you just send your email to that alias

i keep trying to learn a programming or scripting language, but i cant ever pay attention long enough. i just do online reading because that seems the best. am i just retarded or is there a more interactive way to learn?

1. You are retarded degenerate millenial
2. Make a project for yourself that seems reasonable and finish it with whatever means necessary
3. If you copy your shit, whatever, you still learned something because you had to make the copied code work.
4. Be honest, don't be degenerate, just learn.
5. FUCKING LEARN YOU FUCKING RETARD! LEARN!

The best way to learn a language is to write code in it. Find a simple project. Learn what you need to know in order to start the project. When you run into something you don't know how to do, look it up and keep going. When you're done, go back and do some reading. It will make a bit more sense. Rinse and repeat.

even python gives me a massive headache. i'm worried i might have to settle for doing tech support, since people will always be retarded and windows and prebuilts will always be shit and need fixing.

i will do my best. ;-; in the past ive tried learning python with "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" as my resource. is this a good book? i found it off of python's actual site, and it seemed coherent enough. though i did get to some assignment where i had no idea what to do

Keep in mind that learning a programming language and learning to program are different skills
I don't know much about the Automate series, but it seems like it doesn't just teach python but also how to use it. Look up things like Algorithms and Data Structures after you feel comfortable with your knowledge of some language. Also look up lessons for what you actually want to do, like gamedev tutorial or webdev tutorial or whatever.
You shouldn't need anything more "interactive" than lessons and assignments. If you don't know how to do an assignment, look back through the lessons; there was something there that you can use to solve it.

you don't need to know it very well. for a sysadmin/devop basics are enough. you just need to open files and edit crap untill something happens. you don't need to be a dev with 10+ years of experience
just make a few shitty programs yourself and you're golden

My notebook get very hot when i'm using Ubuntu, there's something that i can use to reduce the cpu usage on linux? Something similar to the Power Options on windows.

Try fucking with your governors and disabling anything that doesn't need to be running. Power management on Linux requires ricing, there's not one way to do it, and you still probably won't be happy with it in the end.

Ubuntu has a million services running on background, how do i know which one i disable and how to keep them disabled?

See if it supports miracast.
Otherwise try something like airtame.

By reading :^)
Seriously, that's power management on Linux. You need to figure out what you need, you need to configure your governor in your kernel.
First off, try using powertop to diagnose. You can stop there, if you want, but there's probably more to wring out of your computer if you really rice it.

Not to mention when X.org kicks the bucket and you have Wayland compositors that can take advantage of hardware overlays, that will also help power consumption quite a bit.
But, the current state of things is lacking.

If you can't pay attention long enough why are you trying to read books? Work with your short comings. It's bad practice, but if you have a question, just search it with google or whatever search engine you have, stackoverflow is a great place to read questions as well as ask.

I don't know any but I do know that all you need is one loop and for loops within those loops, and know how to write to files and you're set. Yeah, by the end it will be slow as shit, but yeah.

Its many months late, but know im mad about this:

Since some time, I cant directly download the images/webms posted in 8ch. When clicking the filename, it just opens the image/video.

What I need to fix this?

Right click on the filename and hit Save As?

Nope. I mean, I can save it, but I mean about directly (Or just appearing the download comfiramtion screen) the file, with the filename of it .

You can see if your browser lets you change the default action to download for those content types but if it's built in, it might not let you. Maybe your browser changed to handle .webms internally a few months ago. I think Holla Forums might have changed some of the scripting around images when they went to the long filename hashes too but I've always just right-clicked so am not sure.

How?

What are ya even talking about?

Come on bro, you have to put in at least a little effort. Did you try searching for "change content handler firefox" or whatever browser you use?
In Firefox, you'd go to Preferences/Applications and if it's listed there you can change it. Don't know about other browsers.

Just in case, I asked. I just when, and if I use lecft mouse and "Save link as, I can save with the filename.

Now, how to made it to be just Right Click and save it?

The way you found to do Save Link As is the only way I know how to save files from Holla Forums. If it worked differently for you before, your browser or the site's code must have changed.

Hi, Holla Forums.
I used Linux Mint and Ubuntu in VM for some time now, to use Linux only tools, so I am not totally new to Linux.
Now I got new PC with 1 TB drive and I decided that I am going to install GNU/Linux on it. But I still have a few questions.

Should I use Ubuntu?
Which distro would you recommend?
How should I partition my HDD to make switching to other distros painless?

My end-goal is to move to some very customizable distro like Gentoo when I learn enough to create usable system with it.

Can anyone recommend me a good browser that doesn't shit all over the RAM like Firefox does?

If I'm willing to dedicate a lot of time to a language, what should I learn?

C++?
Assembly?
C?
Python?

It depends on what you are trying to gain by learning.

Stupid EE question: I know that the Arduino is powered by 5V and takes 1A power when used with USB. I know that the ATMega chip that powers them can take 5V, but draws less than 1A power.
How does the current limiting circuit work, and where can I read more about current limiting circuits? I want to use the ATMega separate from the Arduino without frying it, and need to know how to turn electricity from a battery or USB port into something safe. I tried searching but some of the stuff isn't relevant and it's annoying to try and pick out the useful parts.

Mint is Ubuntu with a nice coat of paint and codecs included. Both work just fine, it's down to personal taste. Ubuntu software works in Mint, so software compatibility isn't an issue either.
If you want to partition your drive to make distrohopping easier you could have a separate /home. This helps with keeping your configs intact, but can cause problems with some things. For example, DEs will use your previous config instead of giving you their stock desktop, because you already have a config. If you don't want that you could make a /files partition with your files, and symlink the /home/user/ folders containing your documents, music and other things.
Personally I recommend Ubuntu anyway, but try out it's different variants too if you want. Stock Ubuntu uses Unity, Kubuntu uses KDE, and so on. You might hate Unity but prefer something else, and it's a great way to test the different environments available.

As for Gentoo it isn't that difficult, installing it is mostly about following instructions. It's still a good way of learning what goes on under the hood. Try it in virtualbox a few times until you get the hang of it.

No. You should use a distro that have no history of having spyware in it, or being compromised by some shady hackers. Your distro maintainer and the community around it plays a greater role on assuring you to have the best security for your OS beside of yourself. Why should you have faith on them when they already had a bad track record on maintaining the security aspect of the distro?

I personally used Manjaro mainly because of the documentation they provided were pretty useful to me. But if you already used with debian like distro such as ubuntu and mint, I would suggest give a Antix try, at least you learn how to appreciate a non-bloated distro once in your life time.

Having separate root partition (/), (/boot), swap partition for hybernate and /home partition is enough though. For better personal security, encrypt everything with LVM except /boot and swap partition.

Learn C and then jump into C++. Very powerful languages that are used for a variety of software such as the linux kernel, console games, and websites sometimes.

Is there some way I can save a list of the files on a storage drive so I can remember what I have on it without having to plug it in?

hey Holla Forums, right now im stricken with 5kb/s internet thanks to financial issues
so i heard there was a way to hack into your neighbours wifi using aircrack, i hate to be the fag that asks how to hack and shit, but the article i read said that if you're caught doing it(it can get 8-10 hours) that you could be prosecuted by the ISP

could you guys tell/teach me how to avoid that? you'd be doing me a huge favor

Install Gentoo.

no really

I have two audio devices hooked up to my system, one is 2+2 interface I use primarily for recording and the other is a dac that's alternatively hooked up to speakers or my headphones if I need it for referencing.
For whatever reason I can't set the dac as my default audio device. I can see it just fine in the list of playback devices but no attempt to set it to default will ever work. I could be clicking on that fucker of a button all day for all the difference it makes.
What's doubly frustrating isn't just that the playback device manager won't even give me an error code but when I attempted to uninstall the completely useless bloatware that is the AMD audio driver then it set the dac to default (yay?) but killed my interface. I could no longer even see the fucking thing in the device manager (yes, I checked disabled devices). Despite uninstalling and reinstalling the interface's drivers it remained inactive and invisible. The interface's power light also kept blinking indicating it had power but no data communication with anything, it behaves the same way when I hook it up to a battery pack and bring it on my person when I shoot video.
The only way for me to get windows to recognize the interface again was for me to perform a system restore.
I can output audio through the dac by going into application specific settings but still can't set it as default, the "test" function does nothing either.
So just what the fuck is going on here? I've already made copies of absolutely everything I need to get up and running with 8.1 again and if there's any risk of my playback devices completely shitting the bed again I won't hesitate to abandon win10.

I've been using my laptop as a network bridge for my Xbox 360 3shitty without a hitch for the time that I've played with it, before retiring it for the last few years. Now that I've picked it up again, it isn't connecting to the internet. It gets stuck at the 'network' phase, and tells me that it can't obtain an IP address from my router/modem; it assigns me this IP address here, but it doesn't match my external IP. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I'm positive that the problem lies with my network connection and not the console itself, because I can connect my softmodded OG Xbox to the network the same way, and it doesn't obtain an IP address either. I've tried using different Ethernet cables, restarting the comsole and laptop, unplugging the modem and router, deleting and recreating the network bridge, but nothing's worked.

So I just learned that Holla Forums/ only allows three images per post

The ISP wouldn't fucking know if you happened to hack an access point that your neighbor have set up. The ISP shouldn't be meddling about your so call wrong doing against your neighbour internet bandwith. The only way you could get caught is when your neighbour suspect you did the hacking and stole his wifi bandwidth then he report it to the authority. Though, I doubt that your neighbor could do that much to prove that you were the actual culprit.

I have an Asus S400C notebook with a Qualcomm Atheros AR9485WB-EG network adapter. Accidentally, I broke one of the connectors off a wire which attaches to the adapter. Is it possible to take a wire from a different notebook with a usable connector and splice it together with the wire I broke? Do all network adapters have the same terminal/post size or would I have to find a wire designed specifically for the network adapter I have?

That little post thing is the same in all the laptops I've seen. You should be fine using anything.
Alternatively you could try fixing it with a soldering iron, just take it out the PC before you do that.

no mircast, since my pc is on ethernet
airtame looks like stick that you buy, and I'm sure as shit not buying it.
do you have any other suggestions?

Lads. I just got Linux Mint 18.1 :^), but whenever I load up my PC, Cinnamon won't start. I have to right-click the desktop, open it in the terminal, and then run "cinnamon" to get my wallpaper, taskbar and window borders.

*And how do I fix it?

Here's a screenshot of the terminal entry once Cinnamon has loaded.

Nevermind. Opted for a fresh install instead as I hadn't moved by files.

Hey guys, I wanted to open Zeronet in the Tor browser. So I followed the instructions from the website and typed 127.0.0.1 into the "No Proxy For" section. I changed my mind after that and wanted it to be normal. So I deleted 127.0.0.1 from SOCKS HOST and the Port number. I also unchecked Remote DNS. I tried to use Tor and it said it couldn't find onion sites. Help!

Tor runs as a local proxy, which Tor Browser should be pointing to. Sounds like you disabled that somehow. Safest option is to delete the entire Tor Browser folder and reinstall it.

Thanks for responding. I did uninstall and reinstalled Tor again but it gave me the same issue. Even my bookmarks were still there.

You need to delete the entire folder manually. Think it installs to your desktop by default on Windows. If it still does it you must have another copy somewhere else. Check your shortcut to see where it's pointing.

Had a successful dual boot of linux, with windows for gaming only. I then broke my Linux OS, and in reinstalling it, messed up the bootloader for Windows 8.1.

I tried doing everything I could last night. I had an installation media that would only boot in CSM mode (my computer is UEFI based; Windows 8.1 was natively installed as UEFI) and as such, I couldn't the BCD related programs to repair the bootloader. Bootrepair detected the bootloader and added it Grub but it just went straight to grub. Booting in UEFI took me to a BSOD because BCD was missing. Using CSM boot, I could access the installation media, but not go anywhere: it was not able to repair my computer, I could not install, reinstall or refresh. All of the BCD related commands would work until the final one, wherein it would say system could not be found.


After spending many many hours attemping to salvage the NTFS partition that had all my downloaded games and my delightfully hand-stripped version of windows, I decided to nuke the thing and totally wrote over the drive with a fresh linux install. I recreated a new installation media for Windows.

Same issue, Boot Configuration Data is missing. Now I can't even boot into Windows using CSM.

I just flashed my BIOS via CD, but it did not help. I only want Windows for gaming; WINE has never worked for me and a VM won't work. What do?

besides pay toshiba to continue their farce of a tech support

also, in case it's not clear:
When I was able to access the Windows installation I could make my way to the command prompt. I can't from this window. My only option is to go back to BIOS.

Doing a search on it right now. Fucking Apple makes it hard to delete shit. Be right back m8

Windows is very picky about EFI partition placement and format. That's where it saves BCD. Suggest wiping the entire drive again (sorry), installing Windows in UEFI mode first, then Linux in UEFI mode. CSM for both in the same order should work too, don't know why you'd be having trouble with it.

Thanks m8. I had to hold down option then click on library then search support applications and delete the Tor file there.

Thanks for the response, fam. I've got all my settings and important data backed up and spend a lot of time out of pendrives (I also make a file of mega-commands to run as soon as I'm set), so I'm used to this whole starting over thing - but much appreciated regardless.

Cool, I'm gonna go try that and see if it works.

Thx user, I thought about soldering it too but I'll probably just get a wire off a dead laptop and splice it instead.

What do now, weebanise friend?

And that's more or less what I did.

Whether it's worked remains to be seen. I've definitely made more progress tonight than last night; Windows is booting up in UEFI now (turns out I forgot to make sure that the drive was formatted in GPT, whoops.)

However, now I'm getting some bullshit about how Windows detects that the EFI is in NTFS, and that it needs to be reformatted (by me, it implies) to be FAT32.

motherfucker it was unallocated data, you formatted it

anyway, I'm running a chkdsk now (on 750 gigs, I'm not sure what I was thinking) and will try to repair it from the command prompt; any suggestions welcome since Windows is not my first language.

Trying to connect my monitor to my PC but i receive a "HDMI no signal" message on my monitor. Tried to connect the monitor using a VGA cable and it still wouldn't work. The monitor is definitely working. Not sure what to do. Please help.

Still here, it is 3:30 am and I have spent literally all day (and change) trying to get windows to boot from a machine it was preinstalled on.

At this point, after eliminating every other option (I cleaned and formatted my drive to mbr, which helped) I'm forced to conclude it's probably my long suffering USB drive, which has been overwritten dozens of times in a few months.

There isn't a place on here where I would be able to make a post where I showed off a few items, like, say, graphics cards, I'd be interested in getting rid of, is there?

As in posting a classified ad?

What exactly? I've heard about the whole 3.5 vram controversy but what else have they done?

my memepad t430 is not booting from memory card reader

reader works ok, its reading sd cards etc, other laptop boots from this sd card flawlessly

i disabled secure boot and booting legacy first

what kind of madness it is?

Not every computer does. I don't think my T420 boots from SD card either.

im kinda supprised, shit-tier lenovo and every other computer i ever got did this with no porblem

Is there an addon for firefox that would turn the UI into more tv-like experience?

I have firefox profile that I use solely for sofa computing (navigating with gamepad with key/mousebinds), but bookmarks, tabs and other elements are small from the distance. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know a good free public Linux server that at least has gtk+3 headers? A server that allows the installation of packages would be great, but I can always compile from source.

This is a stupid question, but what's the deal with librechan now? What's its status?

It's free.

Ded, ded, ded DED. I think girlsti.me or something like that was made as a replacement for the pedos, but I'm not quite sure, as I'm no pedo.

If I clicked on a link to it does any 3 letter agency put me on a list, or is it just dead?
I thought I was clicking on a link to a wikipage. They need to update the installgentoo site

EFI partition is supposed to be FAT32, not sure what Microsoft is thinking. You're right, UEFI requires GPT. One thing to add, it helps to go into BIOS and disable all boot sources you don't want while installing. For example, if you're trying to install everything in legacy mode, disable all EFI boot sources including USB drives etc. You want everything including installers to boot in the same mode so choose UEFI or legacy only. I had a buggy BIOS that would boot an installer off EFI once and then on a reboot it would randomly silently fall back to legacy mode.
Probably the best solution is to buy a separate computer but good luck user.

Fucked if I know, do I look a FBI agent to you?

Yes. You should also consider changing to a different Linux distro as mint deals with package management horribly, has systemd, and doesn't teach people the inner workings of Linux and commands (if your into that).


Have him change his IP, and get some firewall software/hardware that can mitigate attacks.

What could possibly be preventing windows from recognizing my 7970 gpu?

At first I thought it was just win8 being a gay cunt like always but I went back to win7 and still my gpu only shows up in the device manager as "PCI simple communications device". I've run DDU and reformatted/reinstalled several different versions of windows now so many fucking times I've lost count and this problem has persisted despite all attempts to remedy it.

I tried multiple different versions of the drivers for the card from present day all the way back to 2012 and none have worked. I even extracted driver data itself (along with .inf file) and directed windows to install the driver for the fucking thing but nothing happened. I've tried reflashing its bios too and reinstalling the motherboard's chipset drivers plus forcing PCI boot priority but no matter what I do windows still won't recognize I have a gpu installed.

Does anyone here have experience with windows being real fucking cuntish about not detecting a gpu?

No but check to see if your BIOS is forcing PCIE graphics

holy shit, what a fucking clusterfuck

...

fyi, it fucken didn't

going to try a generic key now and update later

potentially it's an issue due to the error between my key stored in bios, anyone able to confirm?

I just ran a malwarebytes scan and adware removal check on my parent's computer, the first in 3 years. It experiences heavy internet browsing and downloads.

I just started one today and found 1000 PUPs.

Anyone know a good way to kill myself for not teaching my parents how to scan for this shit? It's taking me ages to remove it. I get rid of one browser redirecting program, and there's 2 more right behind it.

Not even booting into safe mode can save me from this hell.

Juts felt like blogposting, but tips for killing myself are still appreciated.

Why don't you just wipe it clean and set them up with a fresh system? Sounds to me like making backups of their data would be easier

Finally managed to deal with this btw, sort of.

Uninstalling the PCI simple communications device and then running the latest amd driver worked (as in uninstalling that "device" completely instead of just disabling it or trying to update its drivers manually).

This did however not work in win10, only in 8.1. I tried many times just to make sure it wasn't a fucking fluke. Didn't try with win7 though because at that point in the night I couldn't be fucked carrying on troubleshooting microsoft's bullshit any longer.

Assume responsibility for your clumsyness.

Lads.

As you can all tell, my resolution is shit. I'm using a P223W Acer monitor -- the resolution should be at 1680x1050, but I can't find a way of making it so. I've poked around online a bit, but nothing I've come across has worked. Pls halp.

Is your cable still good? Have you tried another OS or computer?

Likely a driver issue but try a different port on your GPU if you haven't already, that could be it.

The cable is fine; it was working with my old 5:4 perfectly. I've tried using a spare graphics card which loads the Mint loading screen properly, but x-server isn't keen on it after that point, so I'm using the onboard graphics unit. I have also tried several different distros in the past couple of days -- Arch, Manjaro, Lubuntu, Ubuntu, and Mint 17, to be specific.

This is a common graphical error if you do a websearch for it. The issue is that nothing online thus far has helped me.


I've searched around and the only driver I can find is for Windows.

I need to install AMD driver for my computer, but AMD lists no debian drivers. They do have ubuntu drivers, which should work on debian too, correct?

There's your problem

There's always a Linux workaround.

Does anyone have that tier list infograph on the top browsers to use in CY+2? It isn't specifically titled that but I've seen it floating around. I was thinking of switching to a better tier but just when I needed it I can't find it. Also if you got it I wouldn't mind some critiques or addendums to go with it. I just didn't want to start a 4/g/-tier thread on Holla Forums for something so simple and for me.

Assuming you're talking about video, you probably don't. Did you install linux-firmware-nonfree?

I just finished removing everything now.
It was painful, as the scanners weren't picking up certain thing, perhaps because they were there for so long,

Thank God they didn't use internet banking, there was 3 separate keyloggers.

I'm losing my shit right now. I have been trying for the past hour to get my firefox proxy settings to work. I have tried everything. I did what firefox said to change the dns proxy setting to true or whatever, that changed nothing. I went into my proxy settings and it keeps resetting to no proxy. I don't know what the fuck to do and it's infuriating me. If any of you could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

is it possible to make the softwares (office, firefox, etc...) install automatic? (just one clic instead of installing them separately)

Look into Ninite. It doesn't do MS Office but it downloads and installs things like browsers, LibreOffice, VLC, Steam and loads of other things. It'll make your job at least a bit easier.

thanks, but downloading isn't what i'm looking for.
i already have those programs, i was looking for some kind of a script that would automatically install them from a flash drive

installing linux in legacy mode is stale meme desu. Grub fully supporto UEFI now. If you let it BSOD for a while it should redirect you to built-in recovery partition desu.

Also, the boot sector always have native back-up desu so no need to use recovery CD bc live linux and the correct tools can /fixboot (dosfstools on linux? something like that).


clean the cardo or the reader pins desu. maybe the boot device order changed too


before reinstalling OEM windows 8-and above you need to use spec tools to view and steal your unique originaru key.

that better be bait desu!
Have you tried modeline/cvt --then--> xrandr?
Obscure resolutions and oldo monitors have higher refreshu rate not until they decided to make 60hz standard (even to 4K monitors).

If you are running intel then your good to go desu. Just find out the right monitor mode or list compatible refreshu rates of that model desu. OSes don't automatically go higher than 60hz because monitors without protection will commit sudoku.

try and kindly check your BIOS for possible Analog LCD (VGA) settings!


most windows installers don't have manuals for terminal mode desu. Only OEMs know.

Windows 10 have package mangaers now (afaik) so check that too.

lastly. portable apps. (there is portable office 2010)

Does Asus Radeon RX 460 lighting up led2 in red mean it wants the power connector? Motherboard doesn't see the card either (it's msi b150m mortar)

I just assumed that with 75 W TDP it will do with the PCI Express alone, not I need to get the damn cable from somewhere. I hope it's just about the power and the card not being a dud

Put the installers onto the flash drive and then execute them with a .bat file, one at a time that is, now there is the problem of manually clicking next and such, so look at this thread when you come to it.

A reboot fixed it, thanks user.

I already did that, but the PID in my BIOS is for an ISO that they don't provide anymore, and I'm afraid of download Malware version.

After yelling at tech support they gave me a PID for 8.1, but it still doesn't work, probably because of BIOS (according to Microsoft it doesn't matter, but their techs have given me wrong information.)

Any idea what to do next?

I fresh installed Linux and am planning on making a new partition for Windows when I get back home. I don't expect it to work, if anyone has any suggestions.

also I never installed Linux in legacy mode and didn't this time; I was saying that I tried CSM only after many attempts to regularly install Win8.1.

Could you walk me through the details?

I'm attempting to breathe some new life into an old laptop by installing Linux over its current OS, WinXP. Is there a tool I can use on both platforms that will measure performance in some way that I can compare? I figure it's not worth doing if there's no discernible difference, but I suspect there will be and so I want something that can show me.

I JUST FUCKING DELETED MY LINUX PARTITION BY MISTAKE BECAUSE WINDOWS REFUSES TO INSTALL NO MATTER WHAT I DO


i am so fucking over this

I have tried every singe trick I can find to get this to work.

Checksum of the ISO checks out
drive checks out
Tried this using both verified and generic key
Using UEFI with all correct formats


This time I tried Linux then windows (which worked fine for me before.) I split my drive in half.


Windows kept telling me the EFI partition is formatted in NTFS. I tried manually formatting it and even deleting my Linux efi partition. Then when trying to go back on the 6th try and delete the failed partitions it had made I accidentally deleted my entire Linux primary.


I just backed it up last night and was going to copy that backup tomorrow because I forgot to bring my external to my girlfriend's.

Hey GNUsers.
I'm making a web app with nodejs and it is based on a Command Line Interface.

Question:
Should I base the CLI commands of the app based of BASH or BATCH or should I make my own "standard"?

Some of the commands will be unique and not available on either the Unix or NT DOS platform. So should I use my own names for commands and scrap any references to bash or batch?

It has been said that there are no stupid questions, but your post firmly refutes this idea.

What is this app? What does it do? Why would it necessarily have commands that resemble bash or batch?

I thought of making my question short to encourage people to answer it. If I write too long questions or too much detail, people give up.

It's written with Nodejs running on port 80. It servers an index.html file that looks like a terminal application in the browser. It currently has a couple of commands that it can serve, based on bash.

Question is: should I follow the bash CLI standard and have names and synopsis work the same way, or make my own and make a new CLI standard?

The purpose of the website is secret. Users will have to interact with it.

keep in mind screen tearing on linux is caused by the packager of distro and his default configuration for example most xfce desktops will have screentearing by default.

I configured my arch so that I can have no screen tearing even with vsync turned off. Some distros are lazy and won't get the proper drivers because lazy packers couldn't even test it.

No matter how i try to print a new line the interpreter just says "SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character"

Try this. It's generic enough to work in most languages, so it should be ok:print("Hello " + n + " :)\nI Like your shoes")

thankfully, I have a dependency list backup, so I can easily restore my computer to my favored configuration with a few commands and some patience. And that installation was fresh enough that there was no significant data lost; everything of important is stored on my backup and on another craptop.

Any suggestions for the install? I have tried EVERYTHING (PID/EI trick with both MS provided 8.1 key, as well as generic key, manually creating partition, using Diskpart and BCDBoot (which returns the error that it could not copy files.))

I usually just use boot-repair and reinstall grub, works for me.

Eh, guys...is it ok if i leave my computer without an anti-virus? The reason i am asking is because my AV just shat the bed and i've been wondering, should i just leave him unprotected? The reason my AV shat the bed is because i upgraded ESET only to find out i need a license to activate the new version and i have NO idea where to get it since it was installed by someone else.
I also want to ask, which AV would you recommend?

If you don't pirate stuff, use umatrix and ublock origin on your browser and use another PC for most of your work, you don't need an antivirus. At the very least verify everything you get and test it in a virtual machine. The best antivirus is common sense 2017, after all.
I used to use Avast but I don't know if they're good now. It's free, and you can type anything into the email field because they don't verify it.

I do pirate stuff tho. Would pirating ESET work? I wouldn't be surprised if thats the way the original guy installed it.
Damnit, i hate it how multiple people made stuff for me when i was younger but never actually gave me any email or password in case shit like this happens, and it has happened multiple times by now.

Yes the board is still around but I don`t see the point in visiting as it is nearly dead and fully flooded like the rest of this site.

Also just a petty FYI, your sage is missing.

I've bought myself my first "smart"phone. It's a Moto X Pure with a cheap plan from Verizon.

What can I do with it to make it schway?

(check'd)
What do?

First one is a Matrox G450. Found by searching for Matrox 971-0301 like printed on the back. Rest are video cards from the same era. Search the numbers printed on them, didn't try.

Probably "Theme font & size changer" addon along with using fullscreen mode most of the time.

Other browsers are better at this though, the new microsoft browser and vivaldi are better known for working well on TV

I have some c++ where I do
while(std::getline (repList, line)) if(&line[0] != "#" && &line[0] != " ") reps.push_back(line);

but

&line[0]

doesn't seem to be working correctly. "line" is a string, and this should be returning the first character, but it seems to just be evaluating the whole string instead of the first character. What would cause it to be the case?

Checksum for Win8.1 was found after 1,000,000 hours in google, then verified against my own backup

I don't WANT Windows 8, but it's what my computer is configured for - what's in the BIOS - and I only want it for Steam (and all my backup material is formatted for Win8, not sure how well it transfers.)

Apologies for the lack of sage. It's normally lingering in my phone.

Any suggestions for torrent sites? I'm willing to take a Win8 ISO from a torrent since I'm only gonna use it for Vidya (I'll encrypt my Linux partition.)

Also thanks for the UEFI rootkit reading desu, have added to cue

however, looking at my options now. I couldn't get any games to function well using WINE when I first started using Linux and ended up dual booting Win8, but if I can get it to work this time, it'd make me super happy to not have that bullshit on this computer.

Nevermind. I'm a retard. Just remembered substr is a thing.

I'm sorry, my free time is measured in minutes per week, and this isn't my field.

OS Regular- Ubuntu/Debian; OS Socially Useful- Windows 98/7/8.1; Browser- Opera/Firefox/Chrome;

Tor, Vlc, Tails, Bittorrent/Edonkey etc haven't really changed with the times. (besides the mining scandal, and pedoshits crying over onions)

What I've gathered so far:
Ubuntu/Debian/Gentoo* + Crossover/DIY in Gentoo? - replaces all your windoze needs (institution-program-compatible, will work with nostalrius)
Browser- IceCat, Midori, Dolphin for Android because you're in a botnet anyway, might as well have javascript

Is deoxit still the best contact cleaner for audio equipent?

Easiest way to set it up would be to install Windows 7 and partition it for a dualboot, then install Ubuntu. You don't need Crossover, WoW should work fine with Wine. Crossover is just the paid version of Wine, with easier setup instructions
For browser, try Firefox with the addons Ublock Origin and Umatrix. It's a little slow, but it's pretty much guaranteed to work fine otherwise. Alternatively there's Chromium Google Chrome = Chromium + branding + other stuff with the same addons, which is faster but a lot of guys on Holla Forums don't trust it because of Google and they have a lot of precedent for that. You can have more than one browser anyway, so try a few and see what you like. Just remember Ublock Origin is better than Adblock Plus, and Umatrix is better than Noscript.
As for image manipulation Linux systems have GIMP and Krita. Try them both, they work together nicely. Paint.NET is good for Windows. DuckDuckGo is an improvement over Google but there are better search engines out there, especially with concerns that they actually do scrape user info.

Also if you want to do a test run to make sure you know what you're doing, try Virtualbox. You'll have to check whether your CPU supports virtualization tech, and if it does enable it. Vbox is pretty much a PC emulator, so you can format and fuck about without ruining whatever OS you have on there already.

Im using Everychan now...why doesnt webms work? When i want to see one, it says that cant opent because of 404 error.

Is it possible to write a fully distributed version of a *chan board? If so, what do I need to know?

Thanks.

I have restarted my PC. Nothing has changed. Could you walk me through each step and what I need to type into the terminal?

Does anyone know which launcher pic related is using?

I do believe that is Lightning Launcher

Looks like it. Thanks.

Please tell me what I have done wrong.

Why does this board attract freedom hating communists?

My country is non-free, so I am going to use Tails to do political activism.

Will I be safe?

I have installed it on a USB using Ubuntu, and there will be no persistent data. I will keep all of my usernames and passwords on paper.

Is using protonmail safe?

Protonmail, Cock.li.. any mail provider (especially non-mainstream ones) will be basically equivalent.

Tails is good.

Paper passwords is not a BAD idea, but also not very great, as paper can be discovered.

How the fuck am I supposed to remember a bunch of different 16 random character passwords?

keepass

What the fuck is wrong with Transmission? Did someone leave a blank while(true) loop in the source code for some laughs?

while we're on it, how safe is using LastPass, especially as a Firefox extension?

It's proprietary and has a history of security issues:

I checked installgentoo, and all they had was stuff that converts to mkv and mp4.

I just updated Linux Mint for the first time, then rebooted my machine. However, it has been stuck on the shut down screen with the Mint logo for he past half hour. Is it applying the updates I just downloaded? How do I know if I didn't break anything and how long do I have to wait before forcing a shut down?

I wouldn't know with Mint, but on 99% of Linux systems an update doesn't require a reboot or any boot-time configuration. Just force shutdown.

Is this some kind of joke? Is nvidia having a giggle? This happens every winter and it makes no sense and is annoying as hell. Is it some retarded bullshit like cards trying to maintain a level of temperature and shouldn't be at "low celsius" or some other buzzword explanation?

A lot of newer cards have weird fan curves to try and be "100% silent" except at very high loads. Maybe the curve doesn't account for temperatures as low as they get in Winter, so it defaults to 100% fan speed.

I'm a person that's never owned their own computer in their life and I've recently been given an HP Notebook as a gift. I'm aware it's most likely shit, but I can't sell it for reasons I'm too lazy to explain. What exactly can I do to better my experience with this thing?

I have problem. When i have installed Virtual box my graphic card wont be recognized by games and when i try to play games the same message will show up. Where is the problem?

If you want it to be faster, and it doesn't have an SSD hard drive already, get one and move your OS and shit over to that. Biggest possible upgrade there

Also I'm familiar with that type of hp notebook and it will eventually crack near the hinges if you don't open it carefully. Proper way to open is holding down the bottom on the front with one hand, and pulling up with the other hand IN THE MIDDLE. If you pull it up near the corner it flexes and eventually fucks it

Inside of virtual machines your video hardware is not directly accessible. You typically cannot play games inside of a VM with decent GPU acceleration. Basically, you are fucked for games.

On certain desktop PCs with multiple GPUs and with really advanced configuration on both the host and guest you can make it work, it's really complicated though even for somebody that knows what they are going. This is called PCI passthrough

How complicated is it? And why is it complicated i just want to play videogames on my second windows.

I don't know enough about your hardware and setup to even say if it's possible for you, and I have not yet attempted it myself, but it's generally considered difficult.

I hate to link reddit but here's one sub that's about the topic

reddit.com/r/VFIO/

Or here's one guys specific guide (which probably would vary depending on hardware and updates to software that have happened by now)

reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3lno0t/gpu_passthrough_revisited_an_updated_guide_on_how/

And I can't say I hear much about it working with Virtualbox, other software is typically used.

What other software? I have really meek computer hardware if there is other possiblity then tell me ples.

I belive qmeu or similar is what it is called. Different user.

qemu and wine are linux. I dont have linux

Why aren't you just playing the game natively then? Like, installed in your regular windows OS (the host system)?

What do you mean? I want to play videogames on seconds windows because i want to use bots to MMOrpgs. When i minimalize game the bots wont work since they need full support of my keyboard and mouse to work

That's what I meant. Now I understand why you would want to.

Look, game performance inside of the VM is going to be a small fraction of the performance compared to natively. But it might work good enough if you check the settings for the VM (depending on a lot of factors but try this)

Right click on the VM in virtualbox, go "settings", click on "display". Increase the amount of video memory as far as possible. Check the two acceleration boxes. This is not the same as the PCI passthrough I was talking about earlier but it might be good enough, maybe

I cant increase the amout or check the two boxes they are grey and uncheckable.

If the VM is currently running you need to shut it down first before settings can be changed

okay what next my vm system still wont recognize my graphic card when i try to install nvidia

You still won't be able to install nvidia drivers. It just has some basic 3d drivers that come with virtualbox. You may need to install the "guest additions" (google virtualbox install guest additions, it's pretty easy).

BUT

I do not think this is going to work for you with a game as demanding as warframe. It might work with some potato old game like WoW but I doubt it with Warframe. If you want to try, install guest additions, forget about installing nvidia drivers, and then see if warframe works on the lowest settings.

If it does not, you are probably shit out of luck

Is there another possiblility i wont even try it because i have really potato computer 8gb ram 1gb graphic etc etc.

I don't think there are any other options. If other people are doing what you want to do, I'm not sure how they are doing it unless they are using PCI passthrough which as I said is really hard to do, takes a non-potato desktop PC with two video cards, and afaik is typically done from linux as the host OS

That's really unfortunate for me but anyway thanks for telling me this i would google shit until i would fail now i know i can fail without google.

No problem, lol

Okay i have managed to google something special. I have downloaded technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881 the second desktop and for some reason it works with my warframe bot.

What's a good resource to learn Lisp? I found Learn Lisp The Hard Way but so far it's only circlejerk about how great Lisp is.

There is a thing about security of shared memory and generally IPC in Linux that disturbs me.
Can IPC access be restricted to a group of tasks, eg. only my forked process can open this shared memory which I have created?
It seems that any process under my UID can potentially list contents of /dev/shm, open my segment, fuck around with my structures in there and break integrity of my program.


I have learnt CL from uni courses, most material originates from SICP, and AMOP (art of the meta-object protocol). See Hyperspec, it is a pretty good overall documentation.
Cliki has also some useful practical info to look at.

Sure. But a process under the same uid could also call ptrace and the mmap part of your program's address space into its own, then fuck around with your non-shared structures in that way as well.

what is better deluge or qbitorrent?

That's what SELinux is for. Although it can be accomplished with a regular kernel as well.

Parabola Linux, when installing it, can't get my keyboard layout right. I select the "English US" keyboard layout but it always assumes I have a right numberpad so things like the "K" button become "4" and I don't fucking know how to fix it

The keyboard I have is a Thinkpad T42 keyboard by the way

Basically what I ask is; how to stop Parabola/MATE from assuming I have a numberpad keyboard?

You've tried Fn + Nmlk?

What about making sure there isn't some enable numlock setting in your bios?

qbit

qbit without a doubt

Disabling in BIOS doesn't seem to fucking work for some reason

Can I simply pull the hdd from my desktop and put it into my laptop? Will Linux even boot if I do that?

What is the behavior when you select default keyboard layout?

I really don't know.

You should be able to turn off the numlock with the Fn key, is the Fn stuff completely broken?

I see a current kernel bug that may be related

bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114731

Or that could be barking up the wrong tree.

What about using an external keyboard just for installation and until you figure it out? I'm not sure if you're stuck because you can't type commands to fix things.

I downloaded that liru erotic game, and even after I uninstall all flash players, my Windows 7 insists on opening the LiruXmas.exe file in Adobe Flash player! How do I sever this connection once and for all?

Guys, I feel like I have fucked up. mid 2016 I bought a new computer. I bought all the parts like 2 weeks before the rx460 released. Back then I thought the rx460 was going to be a high end card on the same level as the 1080.

I bought a freesync 1440p 144hz screen and on top of that some rather mid end hardware:

16GB ddr4 ram
i5 6600k
MSI z170-a pro intel z170 motherboard
and a 500 watt power supply

currently using my old ass gpu. My plan was to build this computer, insert my old gpu and then wait the few weeks for the 460 to be released. Well I can't go for that shit anymore because it does not have the power to run my games at 120+ fps.

But is my system good enough to run a 490? Is the power supply enough? And is a single 490 enough to run games at 120+ fps?

I recently got a new Taurinus laptop. It comes preinstalled with Trisquel, and I've been having some weird problems with it. Bash tab completion takes a long time and seems to involve heavy disk usage, Firefox (Abrowser, Tor Browser) sometimes causes the window manager to lag for several seconds when trying to switch or minimize windows, and occasionally the entire system freezes up without warning and I have to hard reboot. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Interesting that "virtual desktops" in that kind of sense is sufficient.

Certainly since that's not actually "virtualization" it will be fast as your regular PC and allow your GPU to work. Glad to hear you found a solution. Go forth and jew your game!

So my wife came into my office and tried playing this game called "Heads Up" by that fucking TV lesbian. I was working on some pretty sensitive stuff and I hadn't noticed the game used the camera as well for some reason. She was facing at my screen. Does this app upload shit without permissions or what? If so, I need to know how I can get rid of them. If not, then no worries. I have searched google, but it seems nobody mentions social media aspects of things because they're fucking retarded and think uploading is the norm.

I'm so sick of this fucker popping up, I've tried looking up solutions, and it shows that it was re-downloaded but it still keeps popping up every damn day.

How can I fix this?

Should work.


500W should be OK. Looks like they're saying it will take about 150W more than a 460.

If this is Mint or any other Debian based distro, just run
sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer

I have EFI partition with grub and windows 7 bootloaders. I tried to remove two boot options using msconfig and it borked grub (rescue>). I managed to restore it and get windows bootable too BUT it uses the old menu, with three options. Meaning wtf did break grub then. it's gigabyte z77 mobo which seeks boot file only from hardcoded specific place \EFI\Microsoft\x64 or something similar.

Can I mirror an android device to play a movie (including sound) through a TV? Can I do the same on Ganoo/Linux?

OK So about week ago my Vantec USB External Sound Card started acting up. Whenever the microphone is plugged in I get this weird feedback that sounds like a repeated popping noise. I know it's the sound card, but I'm not sure if there's a way to fix it.

Model: VANTEC USB External 7.1 Channel Audio Adapter

Attached is a sample recording that has the popping noise; note that I'm not worried about the microphone static, just the repeated popping sound. Is there any way to fix this or is my sound card fucked?

Also I have a Logitech jack headset; microphone jack is always plugged into the Mono slot (it won't work on Stereo).

Recording of what it sounds like

for one right? Not 2? I mean I am probably not going to get 2 of them, but still better ask. Are there also tools out there that show how much I use and if I need more?

just pirate whatever Adobe offers right now.

About two months ago, I deactivated my tumblr roleplay blog for reasons I won't get into. About 3 weeks ago, I reactivated my account. But, when I deactivated, I had also deleted a particular play in which I had partaken, and I was really proud of it, it was some of my best creative writing work. I'd like to restore the deleted posts, but I've tried a lot of things. The Wayback Machine, Google archives, Archive.is, but none of those have the text I need. But I figure those are simply surface level solutions that can't really get to the deeper level I would need to retrieve that text. My Google History has the links to all the pages, and a lot of it was saved thanks to reblogs from my RP partner, but there are key moments that seem to have been lost. But I know that somehow, in some way, no matter how thorough you are, nothing can be truly deleted from the Internet. When something is posted on the Web, it has to leave some kind of imprint on the servers I'm sure. Evidence can't simply be destroyed, nothing can. So, I'm asking, as a person who's tried a lot of options, is there a way to recover that text for preservation?

so i did a thing

I had ubuntu on an old macbook I repurposed for my mom over christmas (she wants the CD drive, it's p much functionally useless otherwise.)

it was being buggy and I was trying to boot from USB so I hit alt, and accidentally hit ctrl, which made a circle-arrow appear (supposedly this tells the computer to always boot from this drive.)

now the thing doesn't boot at all.

LiveUSB & gparted tell me that the HDD is still recognized and the EFI partition is still set to boot.

going to attempt to get boot-repair on a USB for it at the moment. I can't do it natively via LiveUSB because the machine's wireless is old, and it took me a long time to get the drivers working. might be difficult, because the two usb ports are right next to each other and I don't have two sticks that'll easily fit.

any suggestions otherwise, ie things that don't necessitate internet?

What's the catch here? developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

Thinking of putting visual studio in one of them and then snapshoting it, and using shared folder for project files.

In other words is this full-fledged win7, like the one you get from dreamspark or insertMagnetLink?

Whats a good, lightweight keyboard for android? Emoji support a plus because i still interact with filthy normies sometimes.

SwiftKey is decent (oneplus X's default one). Only problem that sometimes happens is slight lag when suggestions show and you misclick one of them.

is there some type of software for windows where i can set a size i want a video to be compressed to and it will automatically shrink it. I really dont care about the quality and i also dont feel like changing settings so it will work

ffmpeg

Are there any decent desktop linux distros that look nice? I'm using windows 10 and I can't give it up because of the aesthetic. Preferiably not Ubuntu based, since Ubuntu makes my blood boil.

If you want to boot to any other partition using Windows without going through the asinine amount of hoops they require, download BCDEdit and that will allow you to pick partitions or even whole disks to choose from in the Windows boot menu. The options you add or remove won't show up in msconfig but it's a quick and easy way to do it.

As for grub, I can't really help you. But I believe there are guides out there for that.

Trinity gives a very "Windows XP" UI. KDE is very "Windows 7". XFCE(?) is kind of between the two. I don't know about 10's UI (barf) but if you want a Windows-like UI those are two great places to start.

Q4OS has a very Windows-like atmosphere, and it uses Trinity. But there are plenty of distros out there that try to emulate Windows in look and feel. You should really research this for yourself so you can figure out which OS is for you.

Is Unity worth using? The last time I actually used Unity, it was a buggy piece of shit but I liked the design. My issues with Ubuntu are unrelated to the interface. Also, how well will Wine run vidya?

I don't use Unity, mainly because it's not my style. From what I can tell, it works though. I use it sometimes in VMs.

As for Wine, I have an extremely difficult time getting disks to read for use with non-pirated games (or games that require disks). However your results may vary and you may be able to get it working where I have not. As far as I can tell, newer games (DX11) work just fine on Wine with little to no modification. I tried Dark Souls 2 in a VM and despite locking it up (it was a VM after all) it worked fine.

If I were you, I'd dualboot Linux and Windows 7.

fedora with gnome

Define "best". Sumatra is lightweight and does the job well

So I recently decided to OC my FX-8350 and all attempts to do so have been moot.

So I first attempted a OC to 4.5GHz since I saw no real need to gradually get there since no one else has ever had a problem doing so, except for me. I ran Prime95 and it instantly crashed so my first thought was
I increased it from the 1.45 baseline I set to 1.475 and tried again. Prime95 actually ran this time but two threads instantly failed within five seconds and it just froze again. I bumped up the voltage again, and while it helped a bit I was getting damn close to 1.5v and when then it just started to fucking thermal throttle.

At a loss I knocked the core clock down to 4.42GHz and ran Prime95 at this speed with a voltage of 1.475v. It ran better, but then one core failed and then after 5 minutes the core clock started to go up and down even though my cpu temps were at 53C.

After constantly bumping it down it was impossible for me to get the core clock above its stock rate without the core clock fluctuating up and down for no damn good reason because my temps were well below the thermal throttle point. The only speed I could get it at without one Prime95's workers just failing from a fatal error or hundreds of warnings was at 4.32GHz which I felt was just pitiful for a CPU which others can get to 5GHz with a good cooler.

After hours of troubleshooting I could only narrow it down to either
or

So tell me Holla Forums. Did I get the shittiest luck in the silicon lottery possible, am I a fucking retard, or are AMD CPUs truly this shit.

STAND BACK IM GOING TO DO IT
I SWEAR
IM SICK OF WINDOWS
IM GOING TO INSTALL Ubuntu

No matter what others say that's not actually a terrible choice. I prefer the flavors over the regular version though.

Am I able to configure the Steam controller without installing Steam? I'd like to use it to run Minecraft but I'd rather not install Steam if I can avoid it.

SSL/HTTPS question

Hey tech, I have a basic hosted wordpress website. It's currently on unencrypted connection and I really don't care much about the visitors since there are no transactions, accounts or anything (the commenting system is done via disqus).
What I do care about is writers page /wpadmin thing, so that their connection is secure.

Since my host doesn't provide free certificate like letsencrypt, what is my best option for this purpose? I'm pretty pleb when it comes to this.

I have a problem with a video card (GTX 550) that every time I install a graphics driver for it the currently installed operating system refuses to boot up entirely. I might get a startup screen or no screen at all, but I never get into the operating system. Choice of system doesn't seem to matter. I've used Linux and Windows and it happens no matter which it is.

I know it's the graphics driver because of some troubleshooting I did in Windows. Suffice to say, everything works fine until I install the graphics driver. Once I was able to get a driver installed and boot up, but then any time I installed any other software the computer would fail to boot again.

Does anyone know what the fuck is going on here?

So, I just updated to Firefox 50.1.0 Developer edition, and I've run into some weird trouble. Whenever I try to play webms or mp4s, the audio works fine, but the video is fucked. It just kind of loops the first half second or so. I don't even know where to start troubleshooting something like this. Distro is Memetoo.

One thing I forgot to mention: I am using a riser cable for the graphics card.

I've tried disabling random agent spoofer, and when I restart firefox, webm's play alright for awhile, but they eventually start fucking up again.

Well, on a shared host you don't have any other options than the ones provided by the hosting company.
On a VPS you could use a sub-domain just for /wpadmin/ and use any ssl cert just for that.

What do you mean? After this I did some reading on this. I figured that I could enter any key I want purchased form an ssl key provider in my host's cpanel.

Is there a way to use skype on linux without it being botnet?

To clarify, I'm referring to the frontend. I don't care what they do with the information that I communicate over it, but that the software itself isn't pozzed. without using VM if possible

The thing is I modified win 7 boot menu few years ago to show options for Fyyre's patchguard disable and driver signing disable. It worked just fine when i installed grub (selecting windows in grub would load windows menu with those 3 options). Then i decided to remove those options using msconfig and thought it would only affect windows menu but instead grub just showed rescue> until i chrooted and reinstalled it.

grub was installed in my linux drive /boot/grub, but /boot/grub/efi was in another partition so my guess is windows somehow overwrote efi boot file, system failed to load it and defaulted to some other, which happened to be broken grub (maybe mbr, i may have that from very long time ago).

of course i meant /boot/efi

like xubuntu?

I've never rooted a phone before, what should I know before trying and going further like installing a rom?

Can you have two hard drives running two operating systems in a computer, and as a followup is it possible to accidentally your everything in linux.

Yes.

Not sure on your second question but last time I accidentally my everything I did it when installing linux. Formatted or installed over the wrong drive. Because I have a shit ton of drives and want to prevent this from happening again, I never dual-boot from the same drive and when installing a new OS I only plug in the drive that I'm willing to wipe and install the new OS on. After installation I shut down, plug all other drives in, and then use bios to select which one I want to boot into.

I was looking at the Steam API to get some data off steam.
Unfortunately it seems like you can't make requests from client, but only from server.

So right now I have a way of displaying arrays of data coming directly from steam, but the only way I can actually use them on a website is to write them to (I think) a mysql database.

What should I do? Is there a better way to go about this than putting everything in a database?

If not, how do I do this?

anyone?

I've been having an issue with kernel panics on boot for a while, I was busy over the last few months of 2016 so didn't bother fixing it, and it appeared to fix itself after a kernel update, I had no issues for about 2 weeks, but now I'm getting it again. They occur on boot, but restarting usually lets me get around them even if they happen 2 or 3 times in a row. How should I go about trying to fix this?

Firejail might be adequate, but VM would be best.

Bump? Anyone at all?

If you don't need voice calls then the SkypeWeb plugin for Pidgin is the perfect solution.

Have you tried asking Tumbler if it is still in their backups?

How is the connection between the GPU,the rieser card and the PCIE slot? Have you tried pouring the GPU directly into the PCIE slot?

Actually, no. Perhaps I ought to try that. However, Tumblr's staff is NOTORIOUS for being terrible to work with and even worse at communication with its users. Even so, I'll give it a shot.

poorfag here cannot afford college books
wondering if anybody had a way for me to "acquire" a copy of intro to java programming 10th edition? as a pdf?

should I use gitgud or gitlab?

I've been having this problem for awhile as well. Not even on Developer edition.

Doesn't happen all the time but happens a lot.

I spent a good amount of time looking for an answer and trying different things with no success.

I ended up installing youtube-dl, mpv, and then using the addon "Play with MPV". Found that I prefer watching videos this way anyways..

Depends on what you want to host, because they are both running gitlab.
For meme software use gitgud, for anything serious use gitlab or even github.

I'm finding it hard to take you seriously when you suggest github

The connection is secure as far as I know. I've tried to push it farther in without being rough several times now to no effect. I've been resistant to installing the GPU directly into the PCI-E slot because the way the case is makes it an extremely tight fit which would require some modifications to the design. That said, I'll give it a shot.

I also tried the mini-PCI-E slot also with a riser cable to the same effect; as soon as I installed a driver the computer refused to boot.

I'm looking to record digital music files to cassette. I'd been using a complicated .mp3 > CD > cassette system for a while now but that's annoyingly complex for longer mixtaping, as I need to monitor the old deck I have for jams or w/e.
What I was wondering is if one of those cassette digitizers (i.e. the one I own, ionaudio.com/products/details/tape-2-go-iTR17 , though I use it mostly for on the go playback) can be modded somehow to act as USB tape recorders of some sort.
In my neck of the woods, proper decks or players with Audio IN jack ports are expensive as fuck

What's a good virtual phone number service for registering botnet accounts? I care only receiving sms. I'm willing to pay if it's extremely cheap and they have at least some reputation.

Maybe this might be the place to ask.

Any of you know what straw-berry.net is? It takes the posts of 8ch but reroutes it through that site.

It is the same as several similar sites. To some a unoffical mirror, to others a leech that tries to pretend that it has users for advertising purposes.

Thanks for the reply, mate.

install TWRP or some other bootloader your phone supports (search xda, there's likely forum for your device) and put downloaded rom zip file to sd card. You should use TWRP's wipe commands or else there may be permission or filesystem problems with some roms.

Depending on your location it may be useful to flash modem version (at least SGS 3 benefits from it) for your location but they are not available for all phones.

I think I'll need help with this. I'm in for a hospital visit next week and I'll be bored to death and back if I don't get to watch muh animu in the meantime. I doubt I can take my pc with me.
So please, someone tell me what the fuck I can do with this. I'd hate to have thrown out 700 bucks for nothing.

Have some absolutely sick shit.

fuck I thought there would be a guide. No idea how to proceed.

you should have given them command to replace Windoze with something else and also save money on it.
Well, I know it's possible in Russia, not sure about cucked USA.

German. I asked but those come from the box, they only offer that service for pc's they build/prebuild themselves.

first, throw mp3 out of the equation as it's poo-level format, that cannot have good quality, and get some original FLACs.


strange, we had lots of these and cheap.
I just connected it to soundcard with wire and was done

only if you mean web version, without plugins (so without voice calls)

also keep in mind that anyone can block or steal anyone's skype account and they don't need to know anything at all besides username. MS has known it for years, so likely they won't fix it.

It's questionable, better to just use it via browser, because browsers are always expected to sandbox js code.

Next time do backups of your data on your hardware. Don't be stupid.

Well it's some horseshit, in Russia this is (was) available for laptops too.

Okay then.

Is it really not possible to get Win2k3 datacenter anymore? All trackers are dead, no seeders anywhere. The best I could find was with three leechers at 43%.

I'd love to install a linux on this notebook but it only ever had drivers for XP and Vista and x86 XP can't address more than ~3.3, SP3 even less than that.

thank you so much user!

Should I disable javascript?
Is it bad?
Does it work on tor?

Also: should I uninstall stylish (the firefox add-on)?
Is no-script safe?

You can't, they even removed disable in settings

Of course

tor allows it but prepare for butterape

if you're using mainline firefox

maybe. check the license if GPLv3/2 or any open sauce shit>>701653

I can, about:config then javascript.enabled, doubleclick it to change it to false (from true).

Why is it bad? What does it do?
What do you mean by butterape on tor javascript?

it isn't disabled due to the fact firefox itself running javascript as a rendering engine .etc some parts of firefox are now wrtitten in js due to node.js hype (which makes it worse and why hackers laugh when asked to find firefox exploits)

disabling may disable that but background connections still works like firefox sync or other bullshit like firefox hello and botnet addons so all "" or "" should be malformed in the about:config (like hxxp://) and avoid non-FSF approved addons

it's bad due to the language being too powerful. it can save cookies in DOM or HTML5 storage then put it back in your cookies even if you clear the cookies (zombie) tor itself is butterape so why even bother? tor is edgy shit now

Wow, so tor is unsafe now?
But at least it hides my IP from (((jim watkins))) and other websites, right?

you don't install very old distros in that new beast

try bleeding edge distros maybe live gentoo sabayon and lastly arch

what did you do? did you replace windoze and not dualboot?

check bios for legacy kb/keyboard and use external PC keyboard because that dock might have no drivers yet

most windows 8-10 laptops have these problems:


use virtual machine distros like whonix and route the traffic in there before arriving in your real host PC. it's kind of /fucko/ amd a lot of bother


developer edition is complete telemetry. don't use if you care about privacy of what you browse.
warning: firefox is secretly selling 'data' like everyone else in the tech industry. don't believe that 'we won't your sell data :^)' bullshit. They just say it was hacked when their spaghetti is spill


did you have that feeling? like someone was watching you?


dodol or hackers keyboard

I think not, it depends if that's a chromium clone and your phone has android screencast or some shit or that's a windows clone and your android/winphone support WiDi.

I don't think distros support widi by default, maybe check some unfinished github shit

then set it suddenly appears in KDE compositor. Put the script in autostart pre-startup.

Guess I'll look for another distro

Yep. Must've formated the harddrive like 8 times in total.

Nah, it's a known problem that requires a kernel fix. Gotta get the thing to boot first though.

Installing works, that's the strange part. I checked, the files and partitions are all there, it still says no bootable device.
It's still set to legacy. Uses UEFI actually, I even tried with that, same problem.

Privacy is much more complicated than encryption.

I'll list the ways your cover can be blown away:

DNS leaks - leaks all URLS for the government/ISP to see. keep in mind google puts unique identifier in their very long URLs. AFAIK Changing the DNS of your router must be done and you're still leaking if only ever change the DNS of your host/PC.

Browser leaks - VPNs and proxies are useless against WebRTC, malicious addons (hello, sync, firefox market ..seriously) or js that self-ping or grab your IP (IP outside of native firefox) better use 'proxychains firefox' should protect you 'on theory' but the botnet might be a lot stronger now. preventable

OS leaks - windows and mac are known for screencapping 'thumbnails of your screen' and all that shit. scary fact: I saw screencaps of my desktop which made me loathe windows forever

MitM leaks - submarine cable splicing of NSA or splitter ISP networks, sure everything's encrypted by RSA or some shit but it's only a matter of time like openssl recently. Unpreventable

it is not perfect. it just introduces a better way of 'being hard to detect' not 'being undetectable'

browsing habits can also blow your cover. for example you're the only one who browses Holla Forums then watch this specific youtube video then you went on facebook and rewatched same video over and over. This includes your fam if they use your internet with same habbits and you use 'tor' while DNS is leaking they knew you the moment you introduced your habits. - only applicable to HVT


legacy boot =/= legacy keyboard
not sure how you can boot without a keyboard dock maybe that's the problem because most of my system don't boot if no keyboard

I see, thanks.
tl;dr I'm fucked anyway (unless I deviate from the norm)

why doesn't Tor Browser Bundle use Ungoogled Chromium then? (if Firefox is so shit)

By the attacker?

If I ever change DNS on my ethernet interface's IP protocol? Regardless of whether the router's was changed?

Do you know which windows versions have this shit? I won't be surprised if it started with NT.

Your posts are very informative (and thus I, for one, appreciate them greatly), but missing words made some of the points ambiguous. Please slow down a bit when you write posts, if possible.

The problem with the build in keyboard is that the kernel doesn't recognize it (wich can be fixed via patch later). It's a 2in1 notebook, so I can pull off the screen and basicly have a tablet, the keyboard holds a bigger HDD and a few ports, including a USB port.
Now since I can't install without a keyboard, I simply plugged another one on (using an USB hub to plug in the boot stick simultaniously), wich worked fine. The keyboard is still blugged in when the "no bootable device found" message pops up.

you've checked to see that the flags are correct via gparted?

have you tried running boot-repair?

I keep geting a "Your browser sent an invalid or no HTTP referer." when trying to post using icecat
how do I fix this shit?

Yeah, in hindsight, I really should have done that. Then again, I didn't anticipate that I'd be deleting and reactivating my account in the months to come, so can you really blame me?

Eh, probably, but you know what I mean

The attacker is your WAN DNS provider or the ISP
set it to dns servers located in freedom respecting countries like iceland dnscrypt.is/ opennic is also good but better if you start hosting your own dns OR implement dns encryption because you can although a lot of bother

forgot to say this but changing the dns of your router still won't do.
two types of dns: WAN and LAN. You must change the WAN dns.

>WAN(your isp) -> WAN router (wan-ip/wan-dns from isp) -> LAN router (wifi/eth-ip) -> you(lan-ip/dns)
you own the underlined stuff here

the problem is if it goes like this:
>WAN(your isp) -> WAN router (wan-ip/wan-dns from isp) -> LAN router (wifi/eth-ip) -> you(lan-ip/dns)
it means you don't own the real router accepting the connections (virtual PPPoE/fake). Most routers in america do this scheme so beware.
A good example of a WAN-LAN is a 4G wifi-modem
modem(WAN via 4G)-wifi(LAN).

I think vista is the last good one but drivers are nonexistent now, you may try windows server/datacenter ones as they have less reason to datamine them.
I can say windows 7 is less aggressive than 8 and 10 but win2k-vista is way too old to be datamined and they dont leak UL/DL while idle in my experience (whereas in windows 8 I have constant UL/DL spurts even while idle)


just want to clarify if:

How do you label the shit on project boxes? I'm building something that will have a few indicator leds and switches.

I've switched to chromium from firefox and was wondering if there is an equivalent to downthemall

How can I get "remote desktop" to windows 95 virtual machine? Are there some display drivers for VirtualBox that make this error go away?

>Corsair CX750M PSU
>GTX 1070
>i5 6600K
I won't be able to change the PSU for some time, am i fucked?

That's not a phrase I excepted to see, ever.

you need to change your referrer settings, Holla Forums doesn't let you post if you don't send a referrer. I think this is the line you have to make sure is set to "true" in about:config

user_pref("network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer", true);

It worked thanks!

why? What's wrong with that power supply? I got a 500w one and I am planning on getting the rx490 soon.

Is there any FOSS android app that replicates the long-press home to search functionality of the stock google app but lets you pick a search engine to use?

Does https still matter if I'm on a VPN with encryption?

Of course. Unless it's a VPN connection between your two computers or something.

On Windows I used a pirated version on Sony Vegas, now I'm on Ubuntu, I've tried cinelerra but it's shit. Any suggestions pls?

Guys, I need to "borrow" a program called skritter. NEED to, like a crackhead needs a rock, but I can't find it anywhere. Can you confirm there isn't anything by that name on your seekreed klab deviloids? Could you do that for me? Could you descend into the depths of dark googles and check?

Also, there's a free trail version--is there a way to cheat the timer with some sort of virtual machine setup maybe?

I've been automatically Z:Lined from Mibbit for trying out another IRC client. Is there any chance this ban is not permanent?

Ah, I see.
No, I got a selection of all three options (Monitor SSD, Keyboard HDD, Boot Stick) when installing and always selected the SSD. The two parts have no wireless options build in to communicate.
I suppose I could try using the minitor's MicroUSB slot to install haven't thought about that before and do so without the keyboard selected at all, but I doubt that'd change anything.


not for this debian install, but I did so with ubuntu earlier and it showed up fine
Nope. Just had a look at it though so I'm gonna try it tomorrow. Fuck today, I'm not doing anything productive.

Ignore the upper part till 2nd greentext, I forgot to delete that before posting.

How do I edit the track information of FLAC music in Clementine (Linux)? The button is greyed out

Could be a problem with vorbis tags, or maybe clementine won't edit id3 tags on FLAC (shouldn't be used with FLAC) or it could just be an older version of clementine.
clementine is notoriously buggy, sometimes I want to switch back from rhythmbox and just look at the issue list and feel sorry for the devs.
I loved old Amarok but I'm a gnomefag now, so don't use it, and those are the only things I could think of.

I'd be willing to switch player, tbh I liked Clementine more when I was back on Windows. But I don't know a better music player for Linux. I'm running Fedora with GNOME, so would you suggest Rhythmbox?

Yeah, but it's in maintenance mode. Simple enough, downloads podcasts, has playlists, syncs and converts properly. GNOME are jerking off to some new monstrosity of an "official" music player but it probably won't be comparable.

I really only care about playlist functionality (I like the random album function) and the ability to view lyrics in the client. I don't really use my music player for podcasts or converting files.

so im having a peculiar problem with youtube; its severly throttling me. i couldnt get videos to load at anything above 144p, so i said "fuc,k it," and tried to download the vid through youtube-dl, and its throttled too. why is this occuring? obviously its not a browser issue, since its even doing it to youtube-dl. i can normally downlad at ~500 kb/s, so this is unusally slow. i also checked to see if i was throttled overall, and downoading anything else worked at regular speeds. my ISP is AT&T and i dont see anyone else complaining about them throttling websites. so is youtube throttling my IP, or is AT&T beginning to throttle youtube?

ive also had an unusal issue occur where my browser will report that the website is blocking my IP, and the only way i can get to the site is through my VPN. could this be a related issue?

NEED HELP
My PC recently have been experiencing these issues that when I try to install certain programs or game, it will receive an error stating that "Source file is corrupted". Despite saying so I'm able to continue installing if I click the retry button.

Also, I tried performing a chkdisk on my C; drive(SSD) and after this action I'm experiencing a problem where I get an error saying the file is corrupt and I should get a new installer. This of course happens regardless if I do or not. Furthermore chkdsk turns out with no errors. I even tested the issue if it still presist after a new install of Windows 7 and indeed it continues to do so. I have reformatted several times prior to this. I have also performed tests on the RAM using memtest86 and found no errors.

This issue began after upgrading my CPU which needed me to upgrade my motherboard and my RAM to DDR4

Here are my specs:

...

Run a RAM test/memory diag

Nevermind, missed where you said you had already. Sure sounds like bad RAM to me though.

What else can I do then?

Want to install Manjaro alongside winblows 7 but the installer isn't showing the described "install alongside" option and I don't want to fuck up in manual mode.
I am using efi but contrary to all the examples in the guide it shows MBR on my disk.
Any ideas what it could be?

All else I can think of is just the standard like disable antivirus, check drive cables are tight.

I don't have any antivirus. Also, I have two RAM sticks. I tested both of them one by one and the issue still presist.

is probably right on with the cables. When I had 8 drives connected at the same time I was getting frequent and somewhat systematic (for some drives but not others) read errors. No amount of cable management can fix what short-sighted on-board SATA controller design wrought.

So what should I be doing? Check wether the SATA cables are secure? What if they already are? What should I do then?

Reattach on both ends, make sure there are no significant horizontal bends near either end (those tend to happen a lot), vertical bends might be an issue as well but it has to be really bad for that.

If nothing helps it's anyone's guess. Maybe it's your wangblows not getting along with that particualr CPU model and that particular drive model. Weirder things happened.

Tried reattaching. It didn't work. Seriously what the fuck is going on!

Should've started with this one: what are you installing from? The same physical disk? An ODD? Network?
If the same physical disk: is it from temporary internet files?

Also: have you installed any software before or after installing new hardware? Any new windows updates? Does the win7 you reinstalled with come with a service pack?

Have you executed anything from your old programs after reinstall? Yes, I'm implying you might have a good old virus somewhere.

What he said plus
-disable power management
-including Link State Power Management
-stock speeds if anything is OCd, maybe even relax memory timings but Kingston is usually pretty reliable and doesn't push it
-swap sata cables of source & target drives with known good

I have two drives, a 500GB SSD and a 2TB HDD. I usually download installers straight to my desktop(So meaning I save them to C:\ drive). For VorpX and CDBurnerXP, I installed them from my C:\ Drive which is my SSD. For Project Reality, I torrent it straight to my D:\ Drive(Which is my HDD). Issue seems to persist whether the installer is on the SSD or the HDD.

After installing the new hardware, I pretty much had to reinstall a new Win7. After doing so I installed the drivers for the motherboard. The Win7 I installed comes with SP1.

I don't think so. After reinstalling windows I deleted both drives and reformated them so they were basically new. I don't think there a virus from my previous system.


How do I disable the power management if it was on? Is it part of the Bios or the OS?

My CPU is OCd to 4.5 GHz. I'll try reset the clock and report back. I didn't touch the settings for my RAM when OC.

Always mention overclocked hardware if you're describing a problem with I/O. Overclocked CPUs often produce errors similar to damaged DIMMs but with different patterns. You can only discount an OC'd CPU if it was running at the same frequency and voltages for a long period of time with varying loads, including prolonged periods of heavy loads. And even then only maybe as all matter degrades, after all.

Report from
I've underclocked my CPU and issue still presist. After Undeclocking, tests by installing the softwares went without a hitch. Installs for VorpX and CDBurnerXP were fine. But when it came to project reality issue persisted. Then when attempting to test previous two test(CDBurner and VorpX) to verify, the issue came back with both installer.

The Overclocking doesn't seem to be causing the issue.

Here's my OC settings for validation.

What cryptsetup parameters are secure enough for current year tier FDE?
Any that aren't anymore?

wish they'd let me post 4 images instead.

The following example will create an encrypted root partition on /dev/sda1 using the default AES cipher in XTS mode with an effective 256-bit encryption
# cryptsetup -s 512 luksFormat /dev/sda1

One could make the argument -s 256 is no longer secure enough.

What's a good free resource to learn the newest version of Python?

In BIOS and/or OS. Don't forget to swap out C: SATA cable entirely.


Leave it at stock speed until problem is resolved. Run memtest86 overnight.

If none of that works, I'm out of ideas.

Just did a memtest86. No errors found. Now what...

What search engine should i use that values privacy and security? I've used duckduckgo for awhile now, but I've heard people say that it's just as bad as google. Thanks.

Paging for help
Really annoyed with whats going on.

so i had a heap of photos on my android internal storage. i wanted to move them to my pc so i cut and pasted onto pc, and nothing happened. so i then moved the folder of pictures to a different location in es explorer and tried again. still no luck.

then i go back and see that neither the original folder or the destination exist in es explorer anymore. after rebooting i see one of the folders is there now, altough it only has half of the files and theyre all corrupt (0kb).

what the fk do i do?

docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

I'm not being ironic. Read, do the examples, and look up things you don't understand.

Swap RAM modules

Qwant is breddy good too, but it is visually different so its kind of hard to adapt to.

Botched move. Make images of both the source and destination and run testdisk on them. Or use Recuva for a faster version.

Is someone aware of a way to filter out peers that you seed to? Like filtering based on country, torrent client, IP range or single IP's and similar.

thanks for replying. so how do i make an image of it? recuva can't scan the phone although can scan the pc. i tried recuva on it and nothing came up which makes sense since it was only plugged in for a few seconds

Well ideally with dd under a Linux environment. Use ODIN with Windows to image the destination disk.

Unfortunately, to get an accurate image of your phone, It'd have to be rooted.

I want to turn my old desktop into a server to fuck around with. I've been trying to install OpenBSD, but the install process freezes at a certain point no matter what I try.
I've tried reformatting the USB (fat32) several times, dd'ing the floppy image (and the .iso in a desperate attempt), and used unetbootin, but nothing seems to work. Am I still doing something wrong or does it simply not work on my computer? It boots bsd.rd but gets stuck.

On a related note, which OS is better for learning about computers and UNIX: OpenBSD, Void Linux or Gentoo? Any others you'd recommend?

So I should go out and buy another RAM stick? Thing is I have two RAM sticks already and it seems like the issue still persist even when the two of them are installed individually.

Is Crystal Sound 2 good enough or should I move to a dedicated sound card?

Anybody know of an app that lets me hack into other people's wifi?

Gentoo does that

I meant for android, sorry I should have been more specific.

Hey guys, I'm unable to open any ports despite forwarding it through the router. Set the port to open through my static address but when I check the port check, it shows close. I just want people to join my ARMA 3 server man. Port forwarded both single ports and port range too. What do.

There was a program I saw on here a while back in a recommended software thread that boiled down to basically a local booru for your files, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

How much thermal paste should you use?
Is toothpaste usable as thermal paste like the guy at the computer shop told me? Sounds fishy

Is there a tool to -quickly and comfy- clone a webpage locally with Firefox ?

Something similar to archive.is but local

This question may sound stupid because I am literally tech illiterate, but here is:

Long time ago I had and old notebook. It worked well but slow, so I tried to change it to Linux for first time. It worked better, faster and all. I used it to lurk and watch videos anyway. But after a week, It started to show 'ghost' and tearing windows. And after a couple of days I just couldn't turn it on. Now instead, it shows a led code that means there is a problem with the motherboard. What do you think went wrong? My guess is that it happen because I didn't format the partition after deleting it. But if that was the case, why it worked for so long?

If the GPU is integrated then

What is a good algorithm to draw a line between two pixels? I'm asking because pic related, a paint program in SFML I wrote, is too slow to keep up with my mouse and leaves pixels unpainted when the mouse moves too fast, so I was thinking I could check if the mouse was released, and if not, draw a line from the last painted point to the current one.

Make your program go faster.

Firefox

Answer, slave !

Looking for a site similar to guerrillamail but for sms numbers.

I don't know, take all the html of the source and then copy it into a textfile with the .html or .php extension, if the latter run on a webserver. Or you could open a balnk page in firefox, open the inspector and copy all the code from the source to the blank page.

If anyone can answer this I was kind of curious as to why the PS4 Pro requires more than 2x the power to render roughly 1.5x the pixels, from what I've read the internal resolution basically maxes out at 2160x1440 and is then upscaled, which is around 1.5x the pixels of the PS4's standard resolution of 1920x1080, not that I'm interested in the PS4 I always thought it would be linear when rendering more pixels, I'm also basing this off of using Blender and to my recollection decreasing my resolution by 50% using the resolution slider under rendering options would speed up my render time by about 4x.

I got the resolution wrong and did the maths wrong, it's 2560 x 1440, yeah that sounds more correct, but this is still only about 3.7 million pixels vs approx 2.1 mil so an increase of roughly 1.7 but the PS4 Pro is I think 4.4 Tflops to the PS4s 1.8 Tflops, I guess there must be an issue with the hardware not scaling particularly well in real world performance thanks to other hardware in the system.

Sorry for shitting up your board with stupid questions.

Why do people still give resolutions as "resolution height" "scan type" doesn't the p indicate that the video is progressive, is there really a need for a distinction between progressive and interlaced at this point of time, I normally just say "resolution height" @ "fps"

Fuck I have bad autism talking about such inane bullshit.

No thank you for asking in the revelant thread.
Probably a mixture how they learnt growing up and some techonlogy still has interlacing as a option (mostly likely consoles and TV's where standards can stick around in the market for along time). So inorder to reduce confusion, it is better to provide more detail up front rather than have to apply corrections after the fact when the listener may have partically/fully switched off.

When is the poz going to get flushed out of technology?

cf. Bresenham's line algorithm (Wikipedia)

Let's call this algorithm's function line_x, and line_y the same except swapping the variables x* and y* in the definition.

The algorithm you want should be something like
if |x1-x2| > |y1-y2| if x1 < x2; then line_x(x1, y1, x2, y2) else line_x(x2, y2, x1, y1)else if y1 < y2 line_y(x1, y1, x2, y2) else line_y(x2, y2, x1, y1)

The idea of the line algorithm is to compute one point of y for each x, the one which is nearest to the real line.
If the line to draw is "more vertical", ie. |y1-y2| > |x2-x1|, there is not enough points in x to draw a continuous line; so you must instead draw one pixel of x for each pixel of y, hence why you need the subroutine "line_y".
Second you must ensure x1

I did the Microsoft Insider bullshit back in the day and they fucked me by not giving me a valid serial after it was all said and done.
I've been running un-activated ever since then.

Is there any way to activate my copy of Windows 10 without having to pay Micro$oft?

The last time I tried doing something like this I got a ludicrous amount of viruses for the first time ever in my life so I have not tried since.

Are there any premade RISC-V virtual machine images? Or a tutorial to set one running (on linux)

I'm having a problem with firefox. A little window keeps coming up saying there's an unresponsive script (geogebra.com), and it asks if I want to continue with it or not, or debug.. What I don't get is that I'm not even using Geogebra when it pops up..


How do I fix this? It's making it so I can't even use firefox because it freezes every time.

think I've found my solution in adding the site to yescript blocklist

nvm still isn't fucking working this is shit

when I open the debugger it works fine for some reason

Uninstall any addons that reference that site.

Is it worth it to replace the screen on my refurbished Dell E6410 or should i just recycle it and buy something else?

zdnet.com/article/seven-perfectly-legal-ways-to-get-windows-7-cheap-or-even-free/

I flashed my router, a WRT1900AC v1, from OpenWRT because I was having issues with my 5GHz network and decided to go back to OEM to fix it to its OEM and after doing so everything works fine such as the wifi for example, it's just that it's not assigning IP addresses from the ethernet ports. Wangblows gives me an error saying its IP is not configured.

Any help?

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but set static IPs on your machines using ethernet. There's probably some other fix but that will at least get you going, possibly

If you gave it to me because you were some richfag, I would absolutely replace the screen. Fuck, if you decide not to do it, make sure to give it to some poorfag that is technically inclined rather than just pitch it

it actually has a core i5.. but yes still a decent laptop that i bought refurbished.

problem is i have to ask for money to replace the screen ($50 maybe idk) and my parents dont have much faith in me repairing laptops because of past failures

Ah, well from my experience Dell Latitudes are about the easiest to work on, take apart, etc. I have quite the fondness for them, most brands are such terrible garbage to take down even to the screen/inverter let alone replace the main board. But Latitudes are usually pretty fucking good.

If it was me I would go for it but I can't know your specific situation. If you decide not to, then either give it to somebody that can, or sit on it until you can pay for it yourself. Even with a core i5 that's a decent laptop that I would love to own personally.

thanks for your input man
im kind of a poorfag myself so i think repairing would be something id like to do.. plus i would have more appreciation for the stuff since i actually worked on it and might not break it again.

I think youve given me inspiration. Now all i have to do is look on ebay and maybe buy a similar dell model for parts (the screen mainly)

What's the deal with Wine security-wise? I've looked around and got conflicting answers. Some say it's a non-issue, some say it's only a problem if the virus was written specifically with the expectation of you having wine but Windows virii are harmless, some say your home directory would get stolen unless you make a separate user account for just wine. Some people make it sounds like wine is the biggest security hole ever and any virus can immediately root your whole system.

If I install potentially malicious software (ie. vidya) and run it in wine how much of a security risk is it? What steps can I take to prevent it?

As long as you don't give it root privileges it's likely it won't be able to do fuck all except steal and erase your home directory.
Escalating root privileges within a non privileged program is complicated, and an exploit needs to be found in privileged processes or the kernel, at this point using wine could be irrelevant. The separate account just for wine is a solid idea that would cover all userspace attacks.
On the other hand, there is a reason to be scared of wine and that is the surface area of exploits. Since it's a very unusual piece of software by itself, it probably calls a lot of shit in the kernel not many programs do, wine developers are also in contact with kernel devs and some things get added tailored for them (e.g. winehq.org/wwn/405#User mode instruction prevention). So if I wanted to look for a way to escalate privileges, I would probably look at wine at some point.

Doesn't wine need to run with sudo?

Is it possible to essentially use a spare wireless router as a wifi adapter?

In other words, I want to take an old PC without wifi, connect it via ethernet to a wireless router, but then have that wireless router connect to my main wireless router from across my house

I made the following network diagram to help illustrate what I mean

Possible in principle, but you might need custom firmware. I guarantee you that just buying a WiFi card will be a better use of your time.

They both run DD-WRT

so would anyone know why i can't use more than 70% of my ram, every time i reach that point everything slows to a halt, if it's a game it stutters like mad and starts paging active files like textures and completely breaks everything as if i actually was running out of ram, if it's software that needs to have a lot of active memory, it just crashes at 70% ram usage. this happens when i run a lot of lighter applications and bump the usage up to 70% as well as when i run one demanding application.

the games/software are 64 bit, i've run memtest and the ram is fine and increasing/decreasing the size of my page file hasn't changed anything

i'm sure i'm missing something like a retard but holy fuck is it annoying

Mabye Bridged or Repeater may be what you are looking for?

pls help

use proxies
youtube-dl supports proxies

pro tip: tor can also be used as proxy since it works as socks5 local proxy

also, as you said you use VPN, then why don't you just use it for everything and forget about ISP problems?

also, if you were not using an OS substitute such as windows, you could also very easily forbid non-VPN traffic at OS level.

try a different OS.
for a first trial a "Live CD" will do.

of course not, otherwise it'd be nuts

install Gentoo

>i wanted to move them to my pc so i cut

remember kids, this is a retarded action. always do backups/delete only when absolutely sure that copying went fine

something from KDE, don't remember exact package name
my wife used it (yeah she somehow did understand how to use it with a bit help from me re. ffmpeg), so I guess you would do it too.

I got recenly permabanned on 4chan for absolute trivial thing. When i tried to tor,foxy proxy or any kind of vpn it wont let me becasue somehow it recognize where i am or what kind of IP i am using.

Is there way how to post there? i have static IP.

anyone know what the isps do when you get six strikes? particularly on at&t. i just got my fifth one. will they really cancel service?

does anyone happen to know what this thing is

stop torrenting its retarted just use any other way of getting your child porn and you wont get warnings

looks like a stress sensor or light level sensor.

ahh i think it is a light sensor i found it in a pile of a bunch of other shit

yes i think a light sensor too the pins wouldn't let you mount it correctly for stress. looks old as fuck or designed for different wavelengths maybe.

or possibly it's a homebrew sensor, idk.

no

This will be a weird one. I need a script for Thunderbird that waits for an incoming message from a specific sender. Upon receipt, it opens the email and follows a link. That is all I need it to do.

I just need a hint where to begin. Thanks

This might sound edgy or whatever, but how do I get into hacking? Not for malicious purposes, I just want to learn more "esoteric" applications for my computer.

The thing is, I want to learn as if I was completely computer illiterate; start from the beginning, end at the top.

What do you recommend? Is there any book I should read, any crucial steps I should start with?

Where can I get money online? where can I get into contact with people who can help me

If you have more than one option you could try threatining service termination. However from what I have read it doesn`t work at scale, the location methods are questionable and rely entirely on ISP support. Also it is proven to be unprofitable but sometimes a few cases are used in a attempt to set an example. Have you enabled the encryption option(s) avabile in your client? Also a VPN/seedbox would work however then you are passing your trust to someone else.

Like most things in life it is a good idea to start small and build your way up. I would suggest trying to get involved emulation as it some what similar to cracking. In addition most books are likely to be the usual 10,000 "follow my top ten ```slightly reworded``` tips to $Thing, yours for only 49.99. Act fast".

Mostly Pateron.

As in making money? Draw things for furries, these deviants have a lot of money

Is there some kind of pop-up cheatsheet for gahnoo?

I want something like guake, but instead of showing a terminal it shows me a custom cheatsheet, preferably context-sensitive.

Having some trouble with multi-GPU desktop on Linux Mint. When logging in the screen on the primary monitor (plugged into the GPU) is able to display, but the screen on the secondary monitor (plugged into the mobo) only shows a splash image or black screen. xrandr shows the monitor as plugged in, and the display settings also show it plugged in and aligned properly. In fact, even taking screenshots show the desktop as it should look. However, the second monitor will only show the desktop (and active windows on it) after either
1) playing a video in mpv
2) leaving the computer idle long enough for the display to turn off and waking it up
I'd like to make this permanent so it boots this way. I've been trying various xrandr arguments from different guides with no luck.
The main GPU is an Asus RX 470. The integrated is Intel and enabled in BIOS.

then put all traffuck under a foreign VPN
this will cost some money but it may be worth it, especially if you use a VPS for that and do some other things on it anyway.

Trying to push a git repository to gitgud.io, but I'm too incompetent to use ssh.
I tried using multiple ssh keys, so I generated one to my local directory. I moved it to ~/.ssh/ and put my public key to the gitgud account.
I followed the steps on the tutorial, but i get this error:Permission denied (publickey).fatal: Could not read from remote repository.Please make sure you have the correct access rightsand the repository exists.
My ssh config looks like this

1 #Gitgud thingy
2 Host Gitgud
3 HostName ssh.gitgud.io
4 RSAAuthentication yes
5 IdentityFile /Users/[username]/.ssh/[name of private key]

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. please help.

yeah i had beini on a flash drive for some work related shit, opened a couple dozen instances of opera on that and it let me use all my ram properly, it's definitely not a hardware thing.
I'd really like to figure this shit out and avoid doing a full reinstall though, anyone else know why windows is only letting me use 70% of my available ram?

not speaking about gitgud especially, but personally I don't use ssh configs for git.
try GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/[key name]" git [...]
also add -vvv to she SSH command that may give some clues.

Hey Holla Forums I have a ga f2a88xm d3h mobo with a 860k AMD CPU, 16GB ram ,500 w power supply and GTX 960 GPU.

Oh shit it worked.
I had to configure git for somethings in school, but I didn't want to use the same profile or keys for what I wanted to do.
How the fuck do you use git?
Anyways, thanks!

DATA GATHERING THREADS WITH REAL EVIDENCE

I have been noticing a trend on all the boards of Holla Forums, which you should be typing in the address as 8ch.net httpS

Holy fuck user, at least type coherently. For a sec I thought Holla Forums moderators were banning people who warned about the dangers of http without https. Make an infographic, it'll be easier to spam.
You have a point but it would only reveal a dangerous amount of personal info if 8ch itself was in on it, sharing your IP with marketers. Even then that would only be of any use if you use Holla Forums without a VPN.
Just shit up the threads with unusable data if you hate them so much. A marketer wouldn't be able to use "What is my secret? Why, my peanus weeanus of course :D" for much. It's not like there's anything useful on Holla Forums anyway.

this is waste of time.
go ahead and reinstall an OS, preferably not (((Windoze)))

Where do I learn to code C++? Hopefully somewhere I can get a certificate.

I notice from reviews people complaining about motherboards, even the expensive ones being DOA and crashing a lot more than other components. Are motherboards just inherently unstable?

so what is the best way to learn how circuits work and how to create em. I have ADHD so books don't work the best for me.

To an extent, but there's also a lot of people that just ended up buying the wrong RAM, or got unlucky with RAM that should work but didn't, or fucked up the install one way or another

I don't think you can beat a good class. Whether that be at the local college or some faggy "maker space".

college, high school
there might be a programming class at your local college you can take with out being a student

yeah i know some of it from high school physics but i just want to expand on my knowlege.

Think of it like water pipes. Voltage = water pressure, current = amount of water. Power = voltage * current. Putting too much or too little voltage will break components, but you can't have too much current.

Anyway, go to a local supplier's site and buy stuff. I use RapidOnline here in the EU, but Aliexpress is neat if you don't mind waiting a month for your parts. I'd recommend:

As for a power supply, you can use batteries or you can jump straight to microcontrollers. I'd recommend that because it's a convenient way of getting 5V/3.3V, and MCUs are fun

Get Arduino clones, because Arduino is faggy and charges a fuckton for cheap parts. If it costs less than £10 it's a clone. TI are ok though, and their boards are cheaper by default.

I need to simultaneously feed /dev/video0 into two different programs. What's the best way to go about doing this? Is there a utility that would copy the one video stream to two different places? What about a simlink to the "file"?

thats fixing the symptom and not the problem. i wouldnt have to use proxies if i could figure out why it was doing this in the first place

The faggots who spread this FUD are the real (unpaid) shills.

Asking basic questions isn't shilling, it's just normal fucking conversations. Questions like this have been a Holla Forums staple since its beginning. People who don't know any better look at this tinfoil shit, and then start doubting legitimate datamining concerns like google-analytics and goyphone tracking (uninterrupted location data of where you've been for the past decade and half with minute/second resolution holy shit).

I only recently learned about named pipes in an attempt to get video piped from an emulator dump to ffmpeg. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

mkfifo pipe.avimame -aviwrite pipe.aviffmpeg -i pipe.avi


After which I keep getting this shit:
Format avi detected only with low score of 1, misdetection possible!pipe.avi: Invalid data found when processing input

Why won't this work?

Well, good luck in uncucking (((Google™))) then.
Pro tip: you can't fix what's completely out of your control

I have a cheat sheet and some guides that I can have look for of you want? The man page is nice to read. Short version (DataBase analogy incoming DB = master): setup the enviroment (git init), then link local DB to the remote one, add/update file(s), add them to register any changes changes (git add $F1, one at a time otherwise it may be hard to check the DB log/history as many files will be updated under one name...), now commit the changes (git commit $F1, same as before) to the DB. Now send the changes to the remote DB (git push), enter the login details on the target domain. It is incremental (only changes since the last push will be sent).

I have a question, Holla Forums

I'm running Zorin OS currently, which I think is a modded Ubuntu. Anyway, I have it set to remain always on, because I use a desktop PC. If I leave to take a shower or something, and come back about 45 minutes later, my INTERNET won't work. I have to click "turn wired connection off", and then turn it back on again. As you can tell, I'm using an ethernet cable, so I have no idea why this would happen. Is GNU+Linux designed to do this, or is this an Ubuntu bug?

That isn't supposed to happen. It sounds like a bug, but I've never encountered it on Ubuntu either.
Does it only happen when you leave the computer for a while? Does the computer go on standby or hibernate when you leave it? Try putting your computer in standby and see if it happens again. That should help narrow the problem down at least.

It only happens when the computer is left on for around an hour or so. I don't have pmi installed, so I can't put it into hibernate or sleep. if you happen to know the command to install it (I've tried), that would help greatly as well.

Is there a way to download the entire Gentoo Handbook? I'd like a backup in case Internet goes haywire.

wget -r wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page

You could try removing and reinstalling your network manager or trying a different one

Hey Holla Forums, I'm using windows loader but I need to update to sp1 so that I can play a game. Do the updates that come in sp1 get listed as separate updates or is it just one? I ask because if sp1 installs that one update that blocks windows loader I need to know if I can slmgr -rearm to uninstall it, but still keep the rest of sp1.

I "may hyperthically" have been using SP1 iso`s with Daz Loader may times, besides the "this software is not genuine" notice at the bottom some times it has installed and works just fine. The licence part in Control pannel should again "hyperthocally" not be able to tell the difference.

I want to download livestreams for the inaugaration today to make a permanent record of the event.
I havent downloaded anything in a while, and the old techniques dont work.

Anyone know how to download livesteams in current year?

((Windows7))

stackoverflow.com/questions/37040798/how-do-you-use-youtube-dl-to-download-live-streams-that-are-live

I use youtube-dl + mpv to watch livestreams on most sites, but I assume youtube-dl on its own might be able to save the livestream from the time you start downloading it.

You need ffmpeg to save live streams of indeterminate length. Youtube-dl is just used to obtain the URL to feed into ffmpeg.

Ok, thanks, i´d actually glanced at that stackoverflow question before, but i assumed it was a linux thing.

I´ll investigate it properly.

I guess that makes sense. I never really looked into how youtube-dl actually works.


mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/
Considering you're using Windows you may like having a GUI to work with. I believe this includes ffmpeg along with youtube-dl. (You may also want to add the directory for youtube-dl to your path variable should you decide to use the command prompt.)

Stupid threads have always been a part of Holla Forums. Why is it suddenly data mining?

Are you joking? There are no serious answers in that thread. It's all memes and shitposting. How the fuck could a marketer target ads at someone who identifies as an attack helicopter or garlic bread? Even if gender parodies are now a meme that some normalfags like, they can also get negative publicity from the progressive media. (Besides, marketers would be better off looking for memes on reddit, facebook, or any other social media site where users don't casually call each other faggots.)

I get websites can be data-mined by marketers and even Holla Forums isn't immune, but this is just paranoia. Even if it is real data mining, why not give useless or unhelpful information? The best way to stop data mining would be to make sure the data isn't worth mining.

I installed a sound card before but it didn't work properly and now the front port of my computer for headphones and microphone won't work, even with it removed. I've scanned Realtek for missing drivers but there is none it says. Any idea what it could be?

Hey I was wondering what is a good free. or not free but a nice free download of video editing software. I would love one.

Are there any appropriate cute anime girl icons for linux?

You might have knocked the cable loose. Trace it back from the front panel to the mobo. If it's not that then make sure all drivers for your old card are uninstalled.

So tech i need some answers. My father wants me to take over his business becasue he said he will die soon and other bullshit. The problem is he told me he wont give it for free and i need to work for it i will need to stay with him learn how the business goes and spend more time with him. Another poblem is i really dont care or give a shit. He was abusive father. My only memories of him are when he always came home drunk then yelled at my mother proceed to beat her my mom always called my name to help her i was too afraid to come. Also when he wasnt drunk he was always nervous he beat my brother or me for everything that was not to his liking. It pretty fucked up my brother he is 25 years old fat as shit and barely leaves home. I am fine well i am not but i managed to get over it. Another problem is my best friend work for his company he urges me to spend more time with him because if not he will give it to some guy who would really ruin it Another problem is i dont give a single fuck.

I really dont know what to do my father is in deep depression looking at him brings tears in my eyes but when i look to past they suddenly dry.

At this point i dont know what to do. I dont know how to feel. Hatred yet when i see my father avoiding my eye contact the huge guy who would kill a bear with single punch literally shatters my heart.

What the fuck do i do.

Uh, install gentoo on your dad? Jeez user, heavy stuff but what do you expect a bunch of leenucks autists to do about it?

If you are on Windows try TortoiseGit or GitExtensions. 10/10 EZ-modo pointnclick git.

I just dont know anymore. I have two options. To spend with father which i dont want or to watch multimillion company go to shitter and i wont see a single cent.

Evaluate income statement, balance sheet, financial ratios to calculate potential profit. Estimate time to death. Divide profit/years and see if it's worth it.

any tech recommendations for streaming media via a LAMP server?

Curious as to what Holla Forums thinks of things like Plex, Kodi, etc. I got Ampache set up today, but I don't want to go to the hassle just yet of organizing 200 GB of music to fit in neatly with their strict cataloging system (it's a goal, but not a project I'm yet willing to tackle.)

I'd like to set this up so my family can share our collective torrented media together. I can handle getting the media on a drive accessible to the server, but am wondering how to best proceed with putting it together in an easily accessible package that even my luddite mom could watch her soaps on.

Any good browser to run on an ARM shitbox? Firefox eats up my battery and launches in 3 minutes and Midori segfaults when I try to view a page's source + is webkit garbage.

I was given a couple of 2.5" drives from a laptop and one is fucked the other is really fucked and the PC will not even POST with it connected, so I had to use a SATA to USB board.
Anyhow, the HDD may not have much life in it mechanically so I was thinking whether or not it would be a good idea to try and make an image of the partitions and try to scan that.

TL;DR What is a good program to do data recovery on GNU/Linux and what are the best practices.

dd, ddrescue is a specialized fork. As for recovery, testdisk. Some suggestions for practices, do all work on a disk image and store the physical source(s) ASAP.

A none exhaustive list of potential: Terminal) Links/Emacs? GUI) Qupzilla/Abrowser

Open source server and client or bust. Have you considered OwnCloud?

I've been running arch with plain openbox and tint2 for a while.
One big yaourt -Syyu after Christmas break and my arrow keys, Insert, Delete, End, Home, Page up and Page down either don't work anymore or map to something completely different (Page up is now "/").
I thought it was about time I dropped the autism and let a full desktop environment deal with everything for me.
I installed gnome and required packages, replaced "exec openbox-session" with "exec gnome-session" in my .xinitrc but on rebooting and running "startx" I got tint2 + a black screen + some initial gnome config helper of sorts, but no window manager.
I could run graphical applications but not move them around.
Cursor was a black "X".
I reverted back to openbox.

Any reasons gnome won't run like normal?
How do I get my key functionality back?
I used to rely on them a lot.
What happened to infinality recently?
My urxvt font is a mess now (I used to use terminus), but xterm and UXterm that I never use look fine.
I used to rely on Alt+Shift for foreign language input.
Now I only have English.

I might be blind because I fail to see anything useful on those sites besides explanations on what Linux is.

I 'd like a complete, step-by-step tutorial for mastering the bash commands plus any reputable distro of linux, but I haven't seen one yet. I don't have time for fiddling.

I hate to say it, but try youtube tutorials. Or simply just tutorials from random blogs.

I don't understand what "I don't have time to fiddle about" means. If that's the case just install one of the already configured, newbie friendly distros and use it. Ask individual and more specific questions for anything you want to know.
It's a matter of either reading documentation and books or looking stuff up like "Bash tutorial", "learn bash" or "how to show x in linux".

Books can be found at libgen.me
I see an user has a (fairly redundant with unnecessarily detailed and subjective configuration choices imho) tutorial at >>>/poltech/66 that might be closer to what you're looking for.
Look up your distro of choice's wiki or forum for further questions.

Any recommended drawing programs for the android?

What happened to Holla Forums X?

First get root, then install /system/ app mover from F-Droid. If you don`t have busybox there is a librefox of it also in F-Droid. Finally select "Show system apps" in /system/ app move, one by one change the offending program to a user app (ignore all warning outputs messages it will work anyway). Now reboot and uninstalled the now user programs. Just a heads up, your system may soft crash every 5-10s untill the newly user programs are removed, also it may induce boot looping.

two part 'what do i do with these old computers' question. reposting from another thread, may post the first one to the consumer thread since it's both relevant and time sensitive

ok so i bought I cheapo HP Pavilion 513n today at a goodwill because it was cheap and I have no self control.

i was at the goodwill to buy a replacement VGA cable since my only current one lost a pin recently and ceased working. i did not find a cable and bought the computer anyway.

of course, the miraculous healing of the cable didn't work and now i'm left with a box that turns on, but that beeps multiple times when doing so. it requires cables I don't have (replacement VGA will arrive 48 hours from now) and I only have 24 hours to return/exchange it (there's actually a similar tower.)

I don't really know hardware. This box was bought just to fuck around with.

Questions to those more knowledgeable: I paid $20, and have until tommorow at 8pm to return it. Should I cut my loses and do so?
I see those empty slots. Has this been stripped of its ram? What should I know about the hardware? Anything else relevant? I'd love to be able to access it without the VGA cable but I don't have a serial cable, nor anything to adapt it to. Headless is out of the option at the moment. Pic in next post.

question 2:

I have an old all-in-one iMac with like 2 gigs of RAM on it.

I currently have Ubuntu installed on it because it's what was on my USB stick, but I'd like to try out a different OS.

I'm not quite ready to make the leap to Arch on it yet. Any suggestions for a good OS to wade further into Linux (or potentially BSD or Slackware)? It's not going to be used for much, probably just to code, maybe stream & access content on the home server.

Also I should mention that I really hate XFCE to the point of it almost being a dealbreaker.

Thinking of something like PuppyLinux, Porteus, or TinyCore(Plus), but open to suggestions for anything. I know the major distros and think I'd be happy with something Debian based (assuming caveat above can be replaced with a better DE/WM combo, something like awesome or FluxBox.) I have Jessie on a Pi and it's cool but I'd like to branch out a little more on this computer. I'm looking for something minimalist but not barebones, configurable (ie customizeable && can install packages as desired), TUI-centric (ie not hand-holding with the GUI but not entirely dependent upon CLI), on the lower end of resource usage, and exploratory as a bridge away from nooblin.

Return it. Multiple beeps usually mean some type of hardware problem. PCI slots only and IDE cables also mean it's very old.

Those slots between the PS and drive bays are indeed for memory, and if they're all empty then it won't boot. And maybe also there is a primary slot that has to be populated first. If there's any RAM stick in the machine at all, you could try to re-seat it, and also try plugging it into the other slots. If you have no memory at all, maybe it's better to just take it back and exchange, in case the mobo is fried or something.
For the iMac, I'd go with OpenBSD.

Thank you both for the advice. I'll take it back tomorrow - it came as is and I figured it was a take it or leave purchase, not a fixer-upper.

From what I've read and seen of openBSD it seems very much in the direction that I indicated, but if it's not too much trouble, I'd be interested in hearing what made you recommend it specifically.

It's minimal but not totally spartan. The documentation is very good (man pages, FAQ on website, and pic). Only hurdle is if some hardware isn't supported, but old Mac should be ok.

How secure is an encrypted virtual machine in terms of storage? Could someone analyze a host hard drive and find things on there?

Depends on 2 things:

1) Most importantly, if the VM is running while the machine is powered on, someone can do a cold boot and steal the keys from the host's RAM.

2) Depends on what algorithm is implemented and if there are any backdoors. (cough NSA)

What about if I were to delete the VM or roll it back via a snapshot. Would traces of anything on it remain somehow?

As long as your VM is still encrypted on the snapshot. I would assume it is. You can test this yourself by seeing if it will ask for the password.

What I mean is, you know how when you delete files, those files can be recovered by programs like ntfsundelete and other more advanced tools.

Does that also apply to virtual machines, and does encryption have anything to do with whether or not it does?

I would think if I were to delete the VM's hard drive file, even if traces of it remained, they'd be unusable without the entire thing, but I don't know.

The encrypted VPS drive would still remain on the drive unless you did DBAN on a HDD or the equivalent program for SSDs (can't recall the name, google it.)

Regardless, it's encrypted. Even if it was still on the virtual disk (depends on OS and virtual implementation... so you'll probably never know), it will be unrecoverable without the key.

If somehow, you wiped the 1st half of the virtual disk from the physical disk (assuming somethnig like DBAN on half a disk, which would never happen), the 2nd half would be unrecoverable. This is due to properties of the encryption algorithm.

For example:
"hello" = 104 101 108 108 111 (in ascii code, how 'hello' is represented by the computer.)

If a simple Caesarian shift was done, the encrypted code would be: (ascii + 1)
105 102 109 109 112 = 'ifmmp'

More modern algorithms reduce the risk of cryptanalysis by making future data dependent on previous data.

For example, we will do a Caesarian shift (ascii code + 1), and we will also add the previous encrypted character to it (ascii code + previous ascii code + 1):

104 101 108 108 111

(104+0+1) = 105
(101+105+1) = 207
(108+207+1) = 316
(108+316+1) = 425
(111+425+1) = 537

So, if the person doing the cryptanalysis were missing any of the first half, they would not be able to decrypt the second half, since it is dependent on the 1st half.

Overkill explanation, but you seemed a bit curious and this explains the concept.


tl;dr dban it if it's needed.

Also, aside from the cold boot attack explained in my first post, your host will be vulnerable to keylogging attacks (someone could capture you typing in your key.)

Something to keep in mind. As you can see, disk encryption is not guaranteed 100% security. Analytically, the algorithm may be very secure, and if the adversary does not have the key, they will not decrypt it in their lifetime (with the exception of quantum computing -- however, there are quantum resistant algorithms. Look into it if you're worried about someone having a quantum computer.) So, if you use a quantum proof algorithm, you should be fine, analytically speaking -- no one will be able to break it, unless the algorithm is proved to be breakable by cryptanalysis.

But the best algorithm in the world means NOTHING if the other person has the key. That's why government agencies and hackers focus on the means of obtaining the key via cold boot, keylogging, etc, because the former is RIDICULOUSLY more difficult, and requires literally billions in research. So, for now, they will just buy a $100,000 exploit for the system and copy the RAM (or do a cold boot by physical means.)

Thanks. That is helpful.

Furthermore, there is recent research (2 years?) that shows that encryption keys can be recovered by capturing the sound and radio waves emitted by the CPU.

So yeah, if you're going against an adversary with a lot of money, you're probably fucked if you did something big and the computer is still running. However, encryption is better than no encryption, period.

See my last post. That's pretty much all you need to know atm, and to do future research.

So today I fucked up hard. I deleted my Ubuntu partition without realizing that Grub Boot finder was saved on that partition, meaning that now I'm stuck whenever I turn on my computer at a ERROR: NO SUCH PARTITION rescue mode
I tried looking up support and everyone says burn a repair disc but I have no blank CDs or media lying around, is there anything I can do to find the partition int he meantime or do I need to hold off until I can both get a computer with a CD burner on it and then boot the disc on my own borked PC?

Any of you video wizards out there know why an AVI pipe to ffmpeg might fail? The answer I've been given before is that AVI puts important reading information only after a video dump is completed. But this can't be the entire truth because one can successfully pipe a live stream of indeterminate length to ffmpeg, stick it into an AVI container still of an indeterminate length, and then pipe it right back out to something else like MPlayer or VLC or even another ffmpeg instance and it'll read just fine.

I assume by medai you also mean thumb drives? If not, using another computer dd any GNU/Linux distro to it, then boot. Next run lsblk to get both the partiton and device name, (this is therotical) pave a new partition on top of the dead one. Now mount the new partiton as /boot, then run grub-install --recheck --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX, where is the overall device name e.g. /dev/sdagrub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg . If that idea doesn't work mabye chrooting into the new partition and then running the commands above may work. Happy hunting.

How do I fix this? Perhaps is incompatibility with other complementes? I use Ublock, SD cookies but letting it normal for youtube, Disconnect, Privacy Badger, Better privacy, NoSripct, etc...

I doubt it, but if it's true you could force ffmpeg to treat it as AVI format (-f avi)

Use a different addon like savetube or ytdl gui

NNTPchan.info

Try installing perl-base if you haven't already and retry.

Isn't that only for assigning a file format on output? I'm trying to get raw AVI piped to ffmpeg first.

Tried it, still getting
pipe.avi: Invalid data found when processing input

And then a write error from the program dumping video.

Is there any reason not to use older versions of flash? By that I mean Macromedia flash, not flash player. It seems to be less bloated, and there's no subscription based bullshit.

Don't use flash at all. Install Chromium to use Pepper Flash when you need it.

Don't use flash. Bloat problem solved.

Thanks for the response but I wound up finding a blank DVD to but a boot record repair disc file and took care of it the cheap way and we're all back on track.

Anyone know a tool for recovering Windows 10 Enterprise password? I've tried pwdump but it returns a hash for an empty string.

UBC (Ultimate Boot Cd) -> Parted Linux rescue OS -> PcLoginNow should still probably work.

Good to know either way.

Holla Forums noob here I'm programming an application and i need advice on what type of server to use.The server will need to store and constantly update the user's information like name,address,bill and products.Also, I'm looking at the growth potential of the app and its ability to acquire more clients.I was thinking about cloud servers but i don't think its feasible for just starting off any recommendations?

Hey Holla Forums, I have a bit of a dilemma. I was using Webmin on my Pi 3 to change the default directory of vsftpd to my external hard drive, but somehow I ended up changing the login info for the program. I don't know how it happened or why, but I can't log back in using the default login information, which I haven't ever changed. The default username and password work for any other program - xrdp, Webmin, Deluge, etc. - but it's only this one program that it doesn't work. I don't know if I accidentally changed the password to vsftpd or if I disabled the default user by accident. I've tried changing the actual password back to the default password, but that didn't work. Can anyone help me out?

The PAM service was directed incorrectly in the config file. I have no clue how that happened.

I'm putting together a script to harden new OS installs and it seems to me I might want to drop in a big list of ips to block outright. I understand it is zero protection against a motivated attacker but as a first line of defense.. is it worth doing?

I'm trying to set an old laptop up as a lightweight server. It's running Ubuntu. I'm having some trouble modifying the /etc/network/interfaces file in a way that successfully assigns me the desired IP address.

Here is the fulltext of my file, with some details changes of course:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)auto loiface lo inet loopback#wifi, for serverauto wls3 iface wls3 inet static address 192.168.0.### netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 dns-nameservers 208.67.222.222 dns-nameservers 208.67.220.220 wpa-ssid ######### wpa-psk ###################

relevant info: there's no point in editing the resolv.conf file, since it automatically reverts upon reboot, so I put 127.0.0.1 there in good faith
I've heard there is sometimes conflict between this file and the graphical network manager, but deleting network manager deletes a lot of things, including my DE.

All the other information is correct.

When I use this command, I get this error:
sudo ifconfig set wls3 down #or upwls3: Host name lookup failure.
and
sudo ifdown wls3ifdown: interface wls3 not configured
which is strange, because it's my understanding that I'm configuring them in the above file to be interpretable to this command.
inb4: yeah, you're using openDNS

If anyone sees any glaring mistakes, let me know.

So my computer has been seeming to randomly cutting video, the monitors recognize they are plugged in but they don't receive any video. Audio continues to work just fine and it hasn't happened while playing any video game or other high demand on the system.

Restarting my computer fixes the "problem" but I fear something more is at play. Anyone know what it might be? I feel its related to the graphics card somehow.

Is there a standard C++ compiler command in Unix like there is 'cc' for C? I can use CC on any system and it will be either GCC or Clang, but I don't have to concern myself with which one of the two it will be, 'cc' just werks.

in the time from that post and this post, my computer has now cut the video 3 times. So far, running in safe mode has been fine and not resulted in anything, yet. I have a GTX 970 and have the most recent drivers installed and with safe mode being fine, I feel it might be related to the GPU.

Why does everytime I try to acess this site via Tor it shows that Cloudfare shit?

Have you considered that your father may be trying to gift you the company to make up for how badly he treated you and your family in the past?

Maybe he wants to apologize, but doesn't know how to go about it. He figures that if you spend some time together, he will find a way to talk about it.

If its that valuable and profitable, you could use some money to help out your family, especially the mother and brother with some counselling etc.

I have a fibre internet connection, and use PIA for basic anonymizing of my activities.
When connected to the VPN, i get great speeds. (just tested at 242Mbps). When i start downloading something through Vuze torrent client, however, the speed drops to unusable. (Just tested at 0.02Mbps downloads running)

Any idea what I´m doing wrong?

I think this happened after Vuze told me that i appeared to be using a VPN, and offered to bind to the local interface in order to avoid data leaking out.

Running Win7 Ultimate, brand new, very standard installation.

I had a similar problem on android where the photos seemed to disappear. Actually they were still there somehow but not showing.
I cant remember exactly how, but i did recover them. I think it involved copying the directory they were in, to a different location, then the files were visible again.

How do I convert .ogg into .mp3?

ffmpeg -i foo.ogg bar.mp3

I want to get into linux, but am having trouble at the first step, i didnt think i was this retarted...

Based on some posts which i saw on here, i decided to try xubuntu as a baby step. Planned to dual boot.

Downloaded as torrent xubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
Used Win32DiskImager-0.9.5-binary to create bootable USB
Booted into menu

Options:
-Try Xubuntu without installing
- Install Xubuntu
- OEM Install
- Check disk for defects.

I tried all but the third option. Each time, the screen goes black, then a single line of writing flashes at the top, too quick to read, and the screen goes black again. Wait for 15 minutes, nothing happens.


Used Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.7.0 to create bootable USB.
Same Result

Burnt Install DVD from disk image.
Same result, except that DVD drive spins up for a couple of minutes then stops

Downloaded ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64
Used Win32DiskImager-0.9.5-binary to create bootable USB
Same result.

Is my display hardware incompatible or something?

Gigabyte Z170XP

GeForce GTX 1050Ti

Is 70°C under full load normal for a CPU?
It runs this hot while I am playing Overmeme.
My CPU is an Intel Core i7 6700K
My cooler is the Rosewill RCX-Z775-LP 80mm.

My CPU will get to 70 degrees celsius when I play Overmeme on the highest settings. My CPU is an Intel i7 6770k. Is this normal?

70° peaks are normal as long as they remain peaks, but if it runs hotter than 60 degrees for extended periods of time you should probably reseat your heatsink and fix your case airflow.

Try the third option. I remember having this problem when i first installed Mint. I think i fixed it by changing the program (might've been UUI, i don't recall) that i used to make a bootable USB drive, because it messed up the image or the boot sector or something. Also, it looks like you're trying to install a beta version, did you try intalling the stable version? It shouldn't make a difference, but it might be worth a try.

It seems plugged in, and I checked Realtek for driver updates in device manager, but it says it's up to date. It just simply doesn't recognize things in the front headphone port.

Also, it looks like you're trying to install a beta version, did you try intalling the stable version? It shouldn't make a difference, but it might be worth a try.

With the third option, i get the same result. This time i videoed the process and got a screenshot of the message which flashes up, pic related. Any idea what that means?

The grub beta is installed on the disk by UUI.

I´ve got it sorted. I searched this error, and it turned out to be because the internal graphics were enabled in the CPU.

Now working out how i want to partition my drives.

Thanks for the assistance.

Is software like wordpress even remotely usable for developing a commenting/social media type website? By that I mean total theme construction from the scratch, to do what I want.

I know you could in theory easily do it, I'm more interested in whether the software itself can stand the weight.

systemd renames network interfaces. if you just do an "ip link", what's listed?

update video drivers or downgrade to a WHQL version?

because you aren't using oxwugzccvk3dk6tj dot onion

doesn't sound like you uninstalled the old drivers. in device manager, view hidden devices and make sure to uninstall any components of your old sound card if they're in there. also uninstall completely and reinstall the drivers for mobo sound.

Is it possible to use a VPN only in my browser/particular software, rather than globally?

I think foxyproxy lets you do something like that but if you're hoping to use it for anonymity that's a bad idea.

So I just now learned that CM was discontinued, but I don't want to revert to Android for my 1+1. Any other ROMs I should be looking at for that phone? (I'm not buying another one anytime soon.) Is it possible to get a feature similar to PrivacyGuard?

Same problem. I want security updates but not gapps garbage.

How do I create a working archive and save all of the pictures of a webpage with wget?
I'm trying to save this thread with all its pictures to be able to view off line as a test.
Also would it be possible to save with wget and still have the tomorrow theme instead of yotsuba b? I managed to save a page but not it's images, it redirects to 8ch when I click on them.
I've tried wget -k -p -r but it doesn't save the images.

I want to know how to do this too but with twitter. I tried Htrack but I don't know how to fine tune it to work with twitter's retarded javascript

What are some good photo viewing softwares?

Does anyone know how to redirect Firefox's audio output to a different ALSA device? I'm not getting any sound from it. I know my sound card is working since VLC works because I can set VLC's input through a menu.

I assume this is for Windows,right?

There could be a addons. I skimmed the man page last time, there may be something tucked away.

my hard drive is making clicking sounds, what do i do?

Shutdown and remove the effected drive immediately. Then prepare for how you want to move forward, use dd to either A) clone the disk directly to another drive of the same or bigger size, B) clone the disk to an image again of same or bigger. Then use that drive for data that you wouldn't mind losing.

What's something like calibre that doesn't phone home?

Hobbyist programmer here.
Is contributing to open-source the only real way to get constructive criticism on my code? I'm self-taught and feel pretty confident in my abilities, but the saying is "he that teaches himself has a fool for a master" and I feel like there's a lot to learn from other programmers.

What is the source for the "programming while crossdressing" doujin?

I did uninstall the drivers and reinstall them. Same thing as before.

if you're sure the hardware is fine then the only thing left to try is a fresh os install.

Wordpress is known to be insecure.
I don't have much experience with it so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't think it was built for that type of use. You could give it a go and see for yourself of course.


Viewnior is nice.


Lookup how to configure /etc/asound.conf
This is of course assuming you are using plain alsa.


Damn, source?

I still think he has a hardware issue. But yes, try a bootable usb if you haven't already to make sure. (I wouldn't nuke yet without being sure the problem lies with the os.)

I have one of those tiny home wifi routers. How much of each others traffic can users snoop on? Can a wifi user snoop on an ethernet user for example? No access to the administration panel should be possible.

It looks like CM is changing the company, and rebirthing themselves as LineageOS. They have installs for OnePlus (Bacon), is that your phone?

I have a MI4C running a CM 13 version published by TeamSuperluminal, so i guess i´ll have to see what happens with it as well.

So, what happens at 400 posts?

What is with Dr. Pepper popping up in every anime/VN? Do they hold stake in some publish company or something.

Hello Holla Forums

Not really a question but I don't think this is worthy of a new thread:

I got a phishing attempt today from this address:

I don't have the skills to do anything but if you want to mess with it be my guest. For some reason the mail was in Spanish thou

Filtering doesn't work for me, I don't use any JS scripts.

So I had that Samsung monitar syncmaster Sa100 and it requires a 1366x768 resolution ..so I downloaded power strip but there was a multiple choices for 1366x768
I chose the Sony's one i guess but when I restart my computer it didnt work ...he keeps showing that it need 1366x768 resolution ...I tried to open the windows low resolution mode (vga mode) 800x600 but it didnt work either ...it just open the safe mode

Any way to change it via safe mode ?

Anyone else using a newer nvidia cad with tri-monitors on linux? (not just a linux problem however) My gtx 1080 gets stuck at performance level 3. For windows there's a utility called Nvidia Inspector that provides a "multi-display power saver" mode which fixes the issue, but I haven't found anything similar for Linux besides potentially nvidia-settings. In Nvidia PowerMizer I was able to set the fan speed manually using Coolbits 12 in xorg.conf so the fan is always on, and my temps are around the same as they would be at P1 (45C), but the memory transfer rate never downclocks like it should, resulting in the memory in constant operation at 10k MHz and the performance level stuck at 3. I know these new cards are ((designed)) to run hot but Is this damaging for the card at all? I know, serves me right for buying it.

Looking for a free VPN I can use for Netflix once in a blue moon. I don't care about privacy, I don't live in the US. I just want USA Netflix.

I'm running a Raspberry Pi 3 as an always-on seedbox, but every time I restart the thing, I get this 'permission denied' error. I have to re-check every single torrent before I can start seeding them again, and having Deluge automatically start downloading torrents that don't check properly is really starting to impact my ratio. How can I fix this, or at least get Deluge to not auto-download torrents on restart? I set downloads to zero, but it still downloads some parts of a torrent before remembering that it's not supposed to do that and moving them to Queue.

You are doing something fundamentally wrong. Remove the GUI and boot it to CLI only. Install transmission-daemon and download torrents through the webGUI on your home network. Transfer files from torrent box to PC via FTP and administrate it via SSH. The only time my seedbox/server ever goes down is when the shitty electricity goes out twice a year.

It's right on their site, you're given a unique ID with every calibre install, and it phones home to show its version, OS and shit.

Howdy Holla Forums i accidently flashed a zip of a iso not the iso onto a SD card and it doesn't show up when i plug it in just wondering if there's a fix thanks

That won't fix the authentication, I just want to fix the 'permission denied' error. I', sure it has to do with user levels and shit, not the client I'm using.

Hey, anyone got the full list of windows 10 botnet features that got backported through updates into windows 7?

Is there an application I can use to play music on my computer when no other application is playing any sound or music? For example, I would like have music play when I'm web browsing, but when I play a video that has audio, I would like for it to turn off automatically.

Just reformat the thing.

So, i want to install an OS on my new machine but i am not sure if i should go with Windows 10 or 7. I am a gamer, as you may imagine, which is why i am considering going with W10.
Are there any reasons beyond privacy issues that i should stick with Windows 7?

Use 7. 10 has fucking ads in the start menu and obviously pipes all your memes straight it Israel.

Pirate Windows 7 Ultimate. Pirated windows 7 is more secure than if you paid for it.

Also, another question. How do i enable dual boot, or more precisely, how do i make it so that when i start the machine i can chose which OS to start? I want to try using Linux and Windows on the same machine.

I already know that, thing is, i am not sure if its in any way helpful for gaming. I personally don't dig the design and all but i thought that maybe i should keep it.

I already have a pirated W7 ready but i am wondering if maybe i should stick with the W10 installation i currently have.

Relative arch noob, recently starting using pacaur. Probably doesn't matter, but I'm curious if there's a fundamental difference between the commands pacaur -Sa foo
and
pacaur -y foo

Alright, fuck it, i will just install Windows 7 but should i install certain specific updates or not get any updates at all?

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T420, the same specs as:

amazon.com/Lenovo-Thinkpad-T420-Notebook-Professional/dp/B01GU28ZSU

What is the first thing I should buy to upgrade for better gaming?

A new computer.
A new graphics card, you dunce
Good luck with that

Can anyone recommend an IDE for Linux for coding in Object Pascal?

I'm looking to impress an employer who uses Delphi in their offices, which has no Linux builds and requires a purchase (but has a free trial), so I'm looking to avoid using it until I get more comfortable with the language and/or they decide to hire me. I'm not sure how wildly the language varies across environments, but I suppose it should be fine.

If I run generic Linux kernel is it possible to switch motherboard and intel cpu to amd without reinstalling OS? Or at most reinstalling grub from chroot.


Lazaus?

So I have Windows 10 (Not being spied here though) and my access to webpages has been slowed down to almost a halt, download and upload speeds are okay but the browsing isn't so I check the DNS.
Ain't shit there.
I did used Hola VPN because of an experiment I had to do for Holla Forums but I uninstalled it already.
Should I give up and tell provider to reset it themselves?

at least here ISP charges you 70€ for support tickets that are caused by problem at user's end.

Not here. But what can I do before that.
I wanna learn.

Specific updates and security ones only (no "recommended updates"). You can use this blacklist so you can see what to not download getblackbird.net/blacklist/updates/ and then after you are done you can run this tool bitbucket.org/matthewlinton/ancile/ which will remove telemetry and other crap


This looks like a browser issue. Did you tried a different browser? How many addons are you currently using?

Also, run this and see how pozzed your machine is toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

Have you tried rebooting both your desktop and the router/modem to get a new IP? Also I would suggest changing your DNS to a none ISP one (mainly for reliably/one less thing that your ISP has a record of). I would suggest looking to OpenNic.

8320 here too, gave up on OC.

I bought it a long time ago, but I feel like I missed out on having an i5 or something.

I have a 8320. I managed to get it to 4.5 pretty mch stable but 4.6 was not being comperative. Even with a jump in voltage. So now I am back at stock as my system appeared to be overheatting even with a 230m fan as intake right above the CPU fan, it was probably the power "saving" features (Like one can save any worth while amount of power on any FX processor). So personally I'l got for option D (A+C),as there is no way that a 500w should not be able to handle it.

I'm not sure how well-versed anyone is in the use of Lazarus.

I've encountered two issues using it. Google was not much help here, and I'm not exactly sure what I could be doing wrong.
"Unable to find method. Please fix the error shown in the message window, which is normally below the source editor."'

Is it possible either of these issues were caused by not installing FPC properly? I apparently have two different listings for it in my /usr/ directory, but I cannot delete any of them.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Is it possible to create ELF loader for windows? Since windows only loads PE I guess you'd have to register handler for some file extension and "open" them in loader program?

Also windows doesn't allow PE loading from memory, just from disk

I've decided to learn python, but stuck at the installation stage.

First i downloaded and installed Python 3.6. That seemed to work fine.

I'd heard that Eric is the best free IDE, so downloaded it.
It has Qt as prerequisite, downloaded and installed, fine.

Instructions say "
>Install the eric6 pre-requisites (PyQt, sip and QScintilla) by entering this command in a shell / command window:
pip install qscintilla
pip3 install qscintilla

I cant get this part to work for me, see pic related.
Should i be entering this this in the "Python 3.6.0 Shell"?

At your friendly local print shop? What am i missing?

OK, i get it. Needed to do it in Cmd window at C:\Users\x\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts

Debian user here. I have to install a fresh OS on the family desktop and was going to do a dual boot with a couple other distros just to try out some other flavors. As I've never done this before, does anyone have any links/tutorials?

Quick version, ensure that least one of installed has os-browser (allows grub to automatically recognize other installed OS`s) and that the root partitions are different for each distribution, /home can bound to all of the distributions if desired. Of course the same/compabile softweare will need to be installed on all distributions for it to be useful.

I'll bump this once. I'm getting a little nervous.

I get super CPU lag when I transfer files from my PC to my portable HDDs and flash drives. It happens to varying degrees and I can't figure out what makes it better or worse, but there's usually at least some lag when I do it, and sometimes it becomes incredibly slow and the mouse literally won't move until the transfer is done.

Additionally, the transfer usually alternates between going at a breakneck pace and stopping altogether. Often it stops at 99.9% complete and takes a while to finish the transfer.

I'm running Fedora with GNOME, is there an alternative file transfer system I should consider, or some bugfixing I need to do?

please help i cannot stand how shit they look. this is from a fresh install with everything using Noto Sans

What font is this, and is it the right one?

A while back someone posted a big spreadsheet of alternative e-mail services and how much they respect privacy. I've been wanting to share it with some normies for a while to help them get off cancer like yahoo and gmail, but I never bookmarked it. Would anyone happen to know what I'm talking about?

So I'm finally biting the bullet and forcing myself to learn to program. I am starting with python I know it's mostly useless, I want to learn how to formulate problems, imagine recursive functions to achieve goals, etc

I have been learning with a tutorial that utilizes 2.7, and given that my OS also uses it heavily, it's the version my interpreter uses. (I also learned the hard way not to fuck with Python's integration with said OS. )

However, when I wrote a little script to recreate a small text adventure, the Python3 interpreter informed me that newer versions of Python have some syntactical changes, ie requiring parentheses to pass arguments to print, whereas 2.7 does not.

This was an extremely long winded way of asking whether I'm okay learning 2.7, or whether I should start with 3.6. I'm not holding my breath to be a very good programmer.

Are the changes significant enough for it to be a bad idea for me to learn via the 2.7 tutorial I'm using?

Hi, I´m the one who was asking about getting into python, above.

I thought about this problem, and decided to learn the lastest version of Python for these reasons.
In the future, things are likely to be increasingly wrritten in python 3+, and given i dont have any python 2.7 habits, why get involved?
Would you take up a lease in a building marked "condemned?" Maybe if it was cheap(free), but not if there was an alternative, newer version also cheap(free).

Sure, some of the less used libraries arent translated yet, but as a learner, obscure libraries are probably not going to be a big concern.

Finally, in Python 2.7.6
3 / 2 = 1.

In Python 3.4.1
3 / 2 = 1.5

Which would you prefer?


Which operating system heavily uses Python?

How does that happen?

Thank you for your considered response. Fair points, good analogy. I figured it was best to learn the most recent version as 2.7 would become antiquated - I'm just being lazy; the 2.7 tutorial is has immediate feedback and is incrementally structured that is to say, it's the path of least resistance, again, there are some hurdles to me every becoming anything more than a spaghet coder

It is my understanding that it uses python for a fairly extensive amount of tasks; I fucked up my Python library and ended up having to do a fresh install.

Addendum: May I ask which method you're using to teach yourself? I know there's an abundance of them, and I have the Gentoomen Library at my fingertips, but I like learning incrementally while practicing heavily, and find myself easily distracted staring at a PDF/man page.

Fair enough, i dont really linux(although i should). I´m sure that it can be made to work with python3.


Awhile ago i started using Udacity training, and it was good, but very slow, and difficult to skip ahead. (may well also have been python2)

I have a question about the windows loader by Daz. From what I read, it plants some characteristics into your bootloader that resembles known OEM bioses. So when your machine boots up, it thinks it is some OEM laptop machine.

I tried this loader a few years ago on my UEFI machine to remove the windows7 nag on my gaming partition and it did not work. Now I wanted to ask what this loader installed on my bios. From what I understand, secureboot will not allow anything to be installed so it makes sense that the loader did not work with UEFI.

it uses integer division and floors whatever value it gets
fun fact when you divide two integers you will never get a value above 0.5 so there's no point in rounding it up for them. in python 3 you can achieve the same thing using the div operator // .

Bought a laptop for Uni (massive discount), but it comes with W10.
How would I go about installing W10 Enterprise and following those NSA/business directions to disable shit? I can find an ISO of W10 Enterprise, but I can't tell if it's precracked, and search engines are just throwing up answers like "crack W7 then upgrade to W10 free version :^)", which doesn't help.

I want Windows on this laptop, there's a few apps I need for Uni that don't have free/linux versions/alternatives.

Bumping, any help for file transfer lag?

Hey Holla Forums i'm overclocking my RAM and i'm on the proccess of tightening the timings. It's currently at 1640mhz (there's some FSB overclocking involved aswell) 10-10-10-27. I think i'm not going to get it to CAS9 because as soon as i tighten the first timing the kit needs a huge voltage bump that i'm not willing to go through with to be stable, although the others can go lower without absurd amounts of voltage. Is there anything wrong with it? For instance if i set the timings to 10-10-9-27 instead of 10-10-10-27 would i still get a performance increase or would being uneven lead to something negating the benefit of a tigher timing? Pic related.

Yes, you'd get a performance increase, you should use benchmarks to keep tabs on your performance increases anyway (compress a couple of files or something)

Yeah i know, i'm not benchmarking it yet, i'll only benchmark it once i get it to a value i'm satisfied with

I think i reached a jackpot with this kit. It's rated for 1333mhz 9-9-9-24 with a 174 tRFC and i stressed and ran it for weeks perfectly stable at the stock voltage and 1640mhz 10-10-10-28 with a 206 tRFC. Now at 1.505v (+5 mv over stock) it went through 1 hour of memtest86 perfectly at pic related and i'm still stressing it but with a windows program as we speak. As soon as I improve the first latency though, i need to worsen the others and set the stick at 1.6v to be stable and i haven't managed to get to 1866mhz with worse timings than i have now at 1.64v. It overclocks really well up to a point and after that it's not worth a try.

Is there a way to monitor all internet traffic that goes in/out of my computer on windows?

Basically some tool that makes it easy to see which programs are connecting and where they're connecting to.

Task manager/process hacker allows you to see some kind of connections, but it's not only not very helpful but also creates most connections under a blank name so you can't tell which process made/received the connection. None of it also tells when something is being sent, it only shows roughly what you're connected to or something, but even that is kinda shady because the connections stay up even when I close my internet connection and close all programs, and thanks to being under a blank name I can neither close the connection or know what the fuck they're there for/by.

Type in "netstat" on cmd

That's useful for some purpose, but it doesn't tell me anything about which program is involved in the connection, nor allow me to monitor connections over time.

Thanks

wireshark?

run "netstat -h" for help.
if you do "netstat -b" it'll also tell you what program is using it. If oyu need more than that though you'll need to run the command and pipe it to a file but i don't know enough about the windows shell to tell you how.

do you have a recommendation for a safe torrent of win7? I see a lot of options out there, but I get nervous downloading programs because I don't want to fuck up my computer

Hi Holla Forums for whatever reason the wifi on this laptop (Thinkpad T410, yes it's old) maxes out at maybe 10mbit/s even though my connection is 60mbit. Wired works at the full speed. I'm sitting in the same room as the router, maybe five feet away.

Was hoping this could help (way too long to post here)
pastebin.com/96PhRyyE

Any ideas?

Go on TPB, look for torrents with uploaders that have pink or green skulls.

You have two options, get Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, or get one that has the updates already integrated. If you go this route I recommend Gen2. If not, just get the regular one.

802.11g is only 54mbit/s and in practice it's often much lower than that. Assuming that your router is configured correctly you should get at least 30mbit if you're alone on the channel.

This may be the culprit. Set this variable to "G" or "54M", preferably in your xubuntu network manager, otherwise use "sudo iwconfig wlp3s0 rate G"

Make sure the file has not been altered by comparing hash values. When you do that you don't have to worry about the source of your .iso. Having said that, NSA/Windows is backdoored and i'd strongly recommend installing GNU/Linux.

Okay, thanks.


That's useful to know thanks.

I'm worried I'd mess up installing/using Linux. I've used Windows my whole life and my tech skills don't stretch far beyond basic computer proficiency. The impression I get from Linux is it's for more involved/savvy users. How different is a Linux OS going to be? Is there an infograph for Linux noobs?

Hi Holla Forums,

Note: I have an i5-2500k, stock clock and cooler, this will be important later.
I cleaned out my desktop today and noticed that one of the twist fasteners on the heat sink of my cpu was untwisted. After turning it on and checking my temps with open hardware monitor, I noticed that I was reaching 98 c (idle) on all cores. Of course, I turned it off immediately. However, yesterday, I played some halo 5 forge to see if it wasn't shit (it still is) for a few hours, surely I would have just bluescreened if I was getting temps like that then, right?

How fucked am I? Did I damage my processor by potentially running it at those high temps for so long or is it likely I just knocked something while vacuuming out my case?

I'm pretty competent when it comes to computer hardware, but I don't know the intricacies of overclocking and temp management.

Finally, what's the current champion for thermal paste? Last time I checked, Noctua NT-H1 was close to the top and had the best value.

If it was idling on 98c, it would've easily throttled or shut itself off. You probably messed up something on the heatsink

Yeah, you're right. Just checked again, it's throttling like a motherfucker. I'm just going to buy a new heatsink, i5-2500k's overclock well.

The beginner friendly distros are very user friendly and intuitive. Most Ubuntu based distributions (Xubuntu, Mint, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, etc. ) fall very much in the "Easy to learn hard to master" category. It is very different under the hood, but most users do not bother to look under the hood.

Don't worry, you'll be fine. Remove and replace the old thermal paste and reseat your cooler.
Noctua NT-H1 is a good one, i'm using it myself, but if you don't overclock you don't have to worry about the brand and if the stock cooler is not damaged, you don't need to buy a new one.

I've been planning to overclock anyway, that processor is getting kind of dated and could benefit from the kind of overclock I could get from a new heatsink. Is a Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo a good choice? Half assed searching says yes.

Side note: Anybody know anything about rack mount servers? Do they need power conditioning? I had the power distributer fail in mine (pretty sure anyway) and I want to make sure that doesn't happen again.

Is Veracrypt good and safe? I need something for cross-platform and does file containers like trucrypt did.

It's open source, so yes, it's safe. Compile it yourself if you're extra paranoid.

How does one determine what code makes undefined behavior in c? I wrote a program that compiles and runs fine on one computer but on two other computers, the compiled program output has unexpected behavior. All computers used are all using gcc, albeit all different versions. The strange thing is that the gcc version used to compile the program that works is inbetween the 2014 and current version. I understand that undefined behavior is compiler specific but that's about it.

This was the first thing that popped up: skritter.com/

How do you get rid of uefi boot entries without bricking your motherboard?

Tonight, I found an old LG t310 (gsmarena.com/lg_cookie_style_t310-3458.php ) as well as a two old macbooks and an old, first gen macbook pro.

I couldn't get one of the macbooks to power on (i'll keep working at it), but I managed to get into the macbook pro directly, and am copying the functioning macbook's drive contents (the HD is most likely failing.)

So, I'll probably use the macbook for a liveUSB box, since there's probably no real use in putting a functioning OS on it if the drive is having significant I/O errors (right? Open to suggestions.)

The Macbook pro is missing its battery and most of the keyboard doesn't work. I don't really think there's a whole lot of use in - i'd turn it into a seedbox but it's fans are working hard without any additional CPU usage, so I don't think I'll do any projects requiring major uptime. Also open to suggestions.

If I can get the other mac to turn on, maybe I'll turn that one into an additional server. Alternatively, I might try to find a way to rig it up to my extant server, or sell it for parts.

What I really came here to ask, though, is what to do with the phone. I was thinking of rooting it and putting some distro on it; was thinking I might be able to use some of Kali's features on it on the go.
I'm also not opposed to keeping it as a dumbphone alternative to my botnetphone.

However, I can't find out the specifics of rooting it, and am wary of utilizing an app to do so.

Also, the device is based on one of those paycard systems (Net10). I don't know if that's relevant, or if rooting the machine might be able to subvert that dependency.

What are my options here?

Can someone explain to me when it comes to headphones pads and pressing them from where does the air get out and how can you prevent this terrible squeaking?

Thank you for your help. For some reason ffmpeg is unable to read video from the webms I've downloaded with wybm. It errors and will create a webm with a still image and audio only.

Oh well.


That will obviously depend on what kind of headphones you have, because there are major differences in construction between the two.

So if I say I am using artificial leather hm5 pads on a m40x can you tell me why it makes squeaky air sounds when pressed?

Should have gotten the Senns with velvet pads m8.

In any case, it's my guess that the pores as a result of the stitching needed to hold the thing together are the source of the issue. At your own risk, you could try slicing a small opening in the leather to relieve some of the air pressure, but I don't think it would honestly help much.

Anyone know of a good book on networking for absolute beginners/retards?

Are you encoding your upload?

I just render from Sony Vegas. Idk.

You need to use an encoder to be able to upload to the site.

Best containers are mp4 and webm, webm is prefered.
I also recommend making sure the resolution of the video can fit within the webpage properly.
So you don't get a giant fucking video in the middle of the screen.

You can goto >>>/webm/ for other mp4/webm questions or the regular webm threads on >>>Holla Forums

Forgot, file size limit is 12mb.

get a live image of mint or debian and try it out

You'll need to learn a bit about audio/video encoding famicom. H264 is a video codec, AAC is an audio codec and mp4 is a container.

Piggybacking off this - and apologies to poster who thought they received a reply - what can I do to make my Xbox controller work for gaming?

I downloaded a program that didn't recognize it. It's not an official Xbox controller (it's an Afterglow prismatic controller for Xbox 1.)

Any suggestions helpful.

Have you tried the Xbox controller that came with your Xbox?

He'll figure it out.

I don't have an Xbox... This is an xbox controller I bought specifically for gaming, back when my current gig ran Win8.

Way, way back in this thread, I chronicled the difficulties I've had reinstalling Windows 8 on this machine (I have tried no less than 15 times; this is the second reinstallation, it worked fine the first time, I just gave up) and at this point, I've decided to say to fuck it, and play via Linux (which carries most of the games I want) and Wine (which carries the remaining.) I can use my Steam Link to play with the controller, but it's a little laggy at time, and so I'd like to see if I can get this controller - which runs off of a standard Xbox 1 controller driver - to work.

I just reread my original post and realized that I didn't provide relevant details - this is for my Linux box. The program I was referring to earlier was xboxdrv.

Recommended pathways for learning C?
This can include books or videos, but interactive formats that impart knowledge then require me to solve increasingly difficult problems are preferred.

I am currently taking an auto-didactic approach, which is working ok. But tbh fam, C is quite a pain in the ass to learn at least for me, as someone who has hardly any skills required to think like a programmer and the compiler error messages are somewhat cryptic (at least, at my level of knowledge. I'm often able to figure out what to do by trial and error with research, but it's pretty time-consuming.)

I have the Gentoomen's Library, and the internet at my disposal. Let me know if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Totally different question from same poster as above:

I would like to return a computer that I bought. When I received it, it came with the Recovery Disks to restore the original OS, which is Windows 7.

I'd like to return it in a similar state, so that the seller does not know that I was able to get the operating system to run. I am thinking that a Diskpart clean would be too far, but also am worried that if I manually delete the partitions, I may also leave the computer in a state different than the one I received it in.

The restore disks are for Windows 7 and are specific to the make of this computer.

Should I just do a clean?

IIRC you can change the latency and remap buttons in xboxdrv

Not sure how that helps if the program is not recognizing the controller in the first place.

I want to start learning electronics so I build my own projects, repair things.

Is there required reading you would recommend?

Is pic related an okay place to start?

I don't think anyone on Holla Forums even remembers how they started. I know I don't and as far as I remember I already had an affinity with electronics and computers.

Can someone fucking tell me why on earth does the Crimson software i download from the AMD site refuse to work on my clean installation of Windows 7? When i use the driver disc i got, i am able to install the drivers but then for some absolutely moronic reason the ''Radeon settings" thing stops working and the Aero effects also refuse to work, apparently because of some other error that possibly may have something to do with the drivers.
The audio also refuses to work.

Thing is, i probably found a way to fix the audio and i may have found a way to fix Aero as well but i can't help but feel that the problems i am having have something to do with the AMD drivers fucking with Windows 7.

PLEASE help, i don't want to be stuck with Windows 10. I would greatly appreciate if anyone had any info about this.

Did you reinstall multiple times?

Use DDU to wipe your computer of display drivers.

reinstall AMD display drivers, skip HDMI audio drivers unless you really need it. Those drivers are known to cause issues.

It is a new PC and yes i tried reinstalling, same problem.

What?
Well, i pretty much already did that by formatting it, right?
I guess i could do this but thing is i was already planning on doing something similar except i would have let them install and then switch, but i guess i shouldn't even bother installing them at that point, or are you saying that the AMD audio drivers can cause other issues as well?

Even with this, it still doesn't fix the whole ''Radeon settings stopped working" error. It seems like Crimson itself for some reason refuses to work on my PC, because the drivers themselfs from the disc install fine but the Crimson software seems to be fucking up.

How can I hide the subject field of all posts?

Its me again, the user with the driver problem.
I figured out what DDU is but i also figured out whats the problem.
The problem is that AMDs Crimson software and possibly the drivers themselfs have issues with Windows 7 and that the same issue that i am having has been a thing since 2015
Nice job AMD.
Anyway, i have found a few possible solutions. I am gonna try installing a different version of Crimson, if that doesn't work then i will try DDU but considering its a clean install and that Crimson refuses to install no matter what, i don't see how that will help.
I will benchmark a few games on Windows 10 because thats what i was FORCED to install due to AMD drivers not cooperating with Win7 and then benchmark them on Windows 7 after installation and see if there is even a point in bothering with Crimson, altho, considering that something as basic as Aero isn't working, i probably can't just ignore it.
I hope i won't have to keep my Win10 install.

yes and people say AMD is so much better than intel and invidia. We need a real alternative to this cabal

I tried to encrypt my new (to me) ThinkPad T430 with VeraCrypt today. The initial reboot before the actual encryption process went fine. After encryption, it tells me that the BIOS doesn't support large drives due to a bug.

I have a peculiar problem, after sometime in windows 7 or when I do something demanding like playing a game even watching videos it becomes sluggish. I notice it especially when I click and drag a box on the desktop it's really slow and sluggish, I have to log off and log back in and it's normal. I have no clue but my first guess would be a memory leak or bad ram but I've done memtest and everything checks out, even reinstalled windows. It's been like this for a year now but never bothered to look into it.

Usually Windows Update Service fucks performance doing god knows what literally forever. I would disable that or install gentoo

I had checked do not install updates but I just disabled windows update from the service. I'm already dualbooting Loonix, but use windows for gaymes. Thanks.

Also, is my ram in check? I have 8gb, 2gb is cached and 3.5 gb is free, is that about right?

The way windows deals with page file and whatnot is still basically a mystery to me. I've been through that investigation before and it's confusing as all fuck. I wouldn't think about it as a problem with free memory because it's impossible to figure out what windows does there

And yeah, see if it improves after disabling the windows update service. Tell it to not update is not enough, have to disable the service. With Windows 7 at this point unfortunately you're better off not installing any updates at all, and just being really fucking careful to not pick up malware

thanks for the reply desu
I have both of those books.

Working my way through a set of programming exercises, and have hit a snag. Wondering if I can ask someone to tell me what the issue is. The third one is to create a program that reads the user's input, but only responds with a particular message if it matches a preset key.

So far, I have:
#include #include int main(void){ //define variables char key[2]; //key variable contains desired answer key[0] = "Alice"; key[1] = "Bob"; //name variable contains user's input char name; do { printf("Please input your name here.\n"); scanf("%99s", &name); } while(strcmp(&name,&key) == 0); printf("Welcome!"); return 0;}

I get the error that I am attempting to assign a value to a read-only location.
I have tried a couple of different searches to figure this out, if anyone is able to point me in the right direction I'd be much obliged.

sorry, my computer crashed while I was editing it and this is an old save. It should read:
#include #include int main(void){ //define variables const char key[2]; //key variable contains desired answer key[0] = "Alice"; key[1] = "Bob"; //name variable contains user's input char name; do { printf("Please input your name here.\n"); scanf("%99s", &name); } while(strcmp(&name,&key) == 0); printf("Welcome!"); return 0;}

how do i get date to say "201X"?

Does anyone have any tips/good sources on how to speed up Firefox Stable, especially when browsing 8ch? It's only for this websites' catalogues and large threads that my browser grinds to a halt.

Android is based on Linux, can I get basic gnu functionality like shred? Also wiping free space.

The error is because you are trying to assign to a const.
A char is a single 8 bit byte, not a "string" of characters.
'key[0] = "Alice";' trys to assign a pointer to a char...
'scanf("%99s", &name);' trys to read up to 99 chars + one NUL to terminate it into a single char...
You do not understand the basic concepts. Read the books and do the exercises, all of them.

(the exercises from the books)

I have a 2GB drive that I need to use to install Windows (literally all I'm doing with this windows install is doing a temporary fix to get an ancient printer working, couldn't find support with an active repository in Linux, so fuck off).

However, windows if fucking huge and every file is 3+ GB. Does anyone know any other way? No CDs around, and I've never heard of a barebones window install..

Sounds about right. I'm still pretty confused about the intricacies & specifics of C. I've been kind of skipping around trying to hobble understanding together since I've found sticking to a PDF difficult, but I'll suck it up.

Any suggestions for books with good exercises; in addition to K&R?

I did something similar, skipping around and looking things up online did not work. I wasted alot of time that way, still do.

Do not worry about the book to read next instead of working on the current one.

Maybe you would find a physical book easier?

Hi Holla Forums.
Once my torrent download speed surpassed my ISP speed, the first time I installed qbittorrent during my first download, it only happened one more time during qbittorrent's first download in another PC.
Now it doesn't matter how many seeders there is I can't surpass my ISP speed.
How do I fix that and what was happening those times?

I printed out the first chapter of K&R and have found having a physical copy to be far, far better that reading via screen. I have been working my way through the exercises, it has indeed been very helpful, thanks for helping orient my rudder.

I bought a Acer Aspire E5-523G-90QW 15.6" Notebook, and all was well until I opened an app on it (Discord), and then the fan started spinning up high. Now the fan won't stop spinning whenever the computer is turned on, going at max speed.

It's on W10 and only really used for games, but Task Manager is showing CPU, RAM and Disk usage below 10% each.

Google and the manual can't give me an answer, so I thought you guys might.

There are many possible reasons. But in this case it's probably the result of peering. The swarm had a peer that was within the ISP's 'local' network, to put it simply.

If it's used, take it apart to dust with compressed air and to fix the awful thermal paste job by reapplying it.

If it's new, try using fan controller software on your shitty operating system to check out what the state of the fan is.
If that fails, take it back under warranty.
Most likely that's not the cause and effect, I bet wangblows is downloading updates in the background or you have some service constantly crashing.

Recently built a new computer, it doesn't display anything after starting it up. After 10 or 15 seconds though it will restart itself still no display, however it does stay on the second time without restarting. I don't think it's the ram,power supply, or the video card it's either the motherboard itself or the processor. Any ideas?

Thanks for that, I'll try fan controlling, if not it was only a Christmas purchase, warranty should hold.

so I changed the thermal paste on my cpu for the first time in eight years and it cut my temps in half and my computer stopped glitching, my graphics card is that old too, should I re-paste it? is that even a thing people do?

I was able to slim down an .iso down to 1.5 GB, with the possability of removing around ~400. However to get to that most services weren't working (including Window's Update and audio) and classic theme is used. I can create a custom image for you if you wish, just state what you want.

Can`t hurt to see what happens and yes.

So I have a laptop with nvidia optimus technology. It runs perfectly fine when I boot up into arch. Whenever I load windows 7 I get the startup logo and then blank screen at the login. I can hear the windows sound though.

Sometimes I manage to get it to boot up after multiple tries of turning it off and on. It boots up with the incorrect res and when i change it blank screen.
Sometimes before it blanks screens I notice it flashing between dark gray and black.
Any clue what to do?

I installed the latest drivers for the two graphics devices which are:
GT 720M
Intel HD 4000

I'm trying out Mint. Easy so far, but I changed the "start menu" layout to another design (pic related).

I hate this new design. How do I change it back?
I can't right click on the "enlarged start menu" like I did before.

Proofs?

Can someone tell me just how many games that work on Windows 7 don't work on Windows 10?

I am not sure if you can use thermal paste on your GPU. There are so many points of contact that you probably need heatpads / heat tape to get proper contact between the heatsink and the GPU.

Settings -> Appearance ?

What the fuck am I supposed to do on my morning commute? Talk to people? Sounds sickening. How do I fix this.

I borked my python installation on arch and now I can't run anything that uses it because it can't find any modules even thought they're already installed pls halp

Guys, its me, the driver error user.
I need to install some stupid bullshit from an MSI disc i have but now i can't figure out what button on the keyboard to press in order to go forward since it can't detect my mouse until i install this.

Please, someone help. Quick.

BTW thats not how the installation looks like but i couldn't find an actual picture of it.

How do I rewrite it in Rust?

Exdous and almost all of the other applications suggested by the intro sticky are broken and in hibernation (probably because their developers realisd that is is not worth working on a shinking ship with an incompenet Captain at the very least). I see two main options (Ouroboros may or many not work): DashChan (on F-Droid as well as others) for rock solid stability, being able to post via the application, not saving and Everychan (Libre version, gitrepo) soly if you want to save threads (cache works as advetised and thread monitoring isn`t as annyoing, personally) as it is pretty unstable (at least on the libre version, last updated on Dec last year. I can`t speak about the GooglePlay version as it doesn't respect my four freedoms).

Have you tried removing it and all dependices, then trying again?

Just use dd, it is so much easier. All it requires is that you spend 1-2s top doubble checking the target with lsblk.

(Assuming Windows) I would suggest using Recovera, restore onto a disk of equal or greater capacity . (Assuming GNU/Linux) get two drives of equal of greater capacity and use ddrescue to first make a disk image then work off of the image with the second disk.

Do this thing called reading documentation and hope that it doesn't change too much when you to implement it (Have fun with that).

Tab should allow you to scroll through your options and enter well selects, who would have guessed that except it being behaviour since the very start I assume.

I guess I wasn't clear. I have have head reset I need physical recovery.

Where can I send this drive to be repaired that won't fuck my OPSEC?

Holla Forums=nearly dead chan

That's why ppl want to go back. Holla Forums is better in a lot of ways but there's barely anyone here. At least 4chan moves.

same

I wonder if the squid proxy is worthwhile?

After quick testing Ouroboros is not suitable as duplicate images are broken so the capatcha is likely broken as well.

Most places that you will send it to will try to recover via software first as most "my drive is dead", are simply a dead MBR/partition(s). Platter swaping may or may not work. Also I assume (based off my cynicalness) almost every country in the world has laws that require reporting of ilegal activity to the revelant agencies at threat of jail/ a massive fine per day/hour. Also it is human nature to snoop when curious. I can`t really think of any places off the top of my head, unfortunately.

Anyone else get OCSP error for 8ch today?

I already dualboot linux and windows, but I need windows 7 for work stuff that I can't get on Linux. Is there a list of essential security updates pre telemetry updates I need? I only use browse Holla Forums and other safe sites on windows but I need flash and feel more vulnerable with it. I use noscript and a few addons like that for more security but still figure I need critical security updates for windows 7.

I need flash player and I read that adobe doesn't update flash for firefox and only chrome, does iridium still phone home to google and does it recieve flash updates? Thanks.

Also stupidly updated a package and now pale moon takes 10 seconds to launch. I reinstalled it and it said the package gtk2 conflicts with palemoon, uninstall it or find another font engine or something like that. How do I fix this?

Thanks but I have none of those installed, I reinstalled windows 7 and didn't update just wondering if there are vital security updates I absolutely need or should get, or am I better off just being "safe" and sticking to safe sites? But this is useful for my brothers laptop. Thanks.

I've got an old laptop with PCMCIA slot and Windows 98 installed on it. I bought a WIFI PCMCIA card from Belik and it seems to works, I've got a a control panel for it and I seem to be connected to the network, but I still can't get online. I have firefox 2.0 on this computer already, but when I try Internet Explorer it asks me about installing a modem or using LAN and there's no other option I could find. Any tips ?

That was a bomb ass two hours wasted

I am about to build a poorfag rig based on G4560, and I am worried about lack of Win 7 support. Will I be able to install it? I can't find any fucking guides on it.

I've heard people shit on VLC, why is that.

Mostly because mpv and mpc exist.

Bought a knock off Xbox controller since I broke my last 2 expensive ones, and just want something to play some games that suck with KB+M.
Controller works fine on every game I've thrown at it, except for a racing game called Redout.

The game only supports Xinput, and this controller has both X and I input, but I just can't get it to work. Forums have nothing similar, apart from people complaining that PS3 controllers don't work on MS computer (how strange).

Maybe this racing game just isn't for me in the end.

It works now. I don't even know what changed...

What fucking browser am I suppose to use for Windows 7? Firefox is shit. Palemoon is shit. Chromium is shit. What the fuck am I suppose to use?

This is the same problem I have. There is no functionality in W7 that would allow you to blacklist an update and prevent mindows from installing it from the beginning. So after your fresh install post Summer 2015 you would need to spend 2 hours installing W7 and all updates and then another 2 hours holocausting all spyware updates manually. Also keep in mind that microshit stopped giving descriptions to their updates to prevent people from recognizing the bad ones. They introduced this shit right after people started removing telemetry faggotry from windows 7 and 8. Now they just write "important security update" to everything that has spyware in it. I wish there was an update manager to blacklist everything you don't want to.

However, I believe if you only use W7 for gaming and school/work, you don't need any security updates. Just don't do your internet banking on it and don't go to piracy or porn sites.


The mainboard will be the crucial part. Check what mainboard you want, go to the manufacturers homepage, search for drivers for your specific model and look what operation systems are supported. ASUS boards have sometimes support for even Windows XP. If you want a budget machine, you might as well check out the AMD FX processors.


Internet Explorer 7

I use iridium, but it's essentially chromium/chrome without the botnet

I actually remember installing this once, but ended up not using it for some reason. I did hope for something that would allow me to use the firefox addons, but I will try it again.

Does Qubes OS limit me as a user or learning programmer in anyway?
If I use opsec/infosec/etc practices, no cross-contamination and yada yada, all that carp, will I be on bane radar and get v& even if I don't do anything, just by being so damn suspicious?
How do you guys learn cyber security, infosec, etc best practices for online and with computers?

Maybe this will help you get started in network security. I haven't read into it too far, so I can't say if it's any good or not though.

The wicd-curses package installed on my gentoo setup has a bug. It will crash with an index-out-of-range exception. I found a small fix that should correct it, but I don't really know how to apply it. I probably need to change the src files and recompile it with the correct code or something like that.

"in /most/ cases, you can simply drop the patch as a file in /etc/portage/patches/cat-egory/package(-version-optional)/*.patch and portage will automatically try to apply it for you."

from forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-867029-start-0.html

Qubes makes a good lab environment. Only drawback is for pentesting. The insulation it provides to protect you from the network also can make it more difficult to run pentests against one.

The day they start v& people for being suspicious is the day to start shooting them when they come for you.

make this >>>Holla Forums9122111

Gave it a shot, getting an error about "No file to patch". I'll tinker with it a bit, this seems easy enough anyways.

Well done my minions.

Yep, I checked - it's ASUS motherboard and it indeed has Windows 7 support.

I guess that this is probably the best thread to ask about my question.

What would be a good web browser for everyday use?
FYI: I've used Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Comodo Dragon
I've seen people talking shit about Chrome and Firefox and rightly so. Opera seems to have problems with doing basic things like using YouTube and Comodo's fine, but I need a separate browser for casual purposes.

(y) asus boards, best boards

So, I will be able to install Win7 straight away? Or there will be difficulties with USB drivers and shit?

1) If I switch from Intel CPU to AMD (ryzen?), meaning I replace motherboard and CPU what configuration changes are necessary in Archlinux? For example can I just boot with default kernel and it autoloads needed drivers, or do i need to do configure something first? (thinking of chroot from livecd, then reinstalling grub and booting)

2) Are there tools that can 'profile' network sockets in linux and other one that can detect broken pipes? Sometimes network becomes slow (few seconds lag before even starting to load anything) and https causes connection reset. There are some messages after it happens in logs, can't find them right now though.

I have some music CDs I am trying to rip, but I just can't find the best way of doing so.
Is there any ripping software that will automatically name the tracks correctly? The data is on the CD, so why does no ripping software seem to actually use it? These are all CDs of lesser known groups as well as their demo discs, so its not like online lookup is helping me here.

Anybody know of some good programs for this? Can be windows or linux.

Can anyone recommend me an anonymous HTML hosting service (max 5-10 MB), possibly with an API and some kind of static domain? I was thinking about neocities, but I wanted to know if anyone had some better suggestion.

I'd use some pomf.se clone, if I could automatically change web-redirection on afraid.org, without the captcha.

cue.tools/wiki/CUETools_Download

Care to explain/shill it to me?

What would you all say the best Download Manager is, that just werks without any adware bullshit?

aria2, or if you need support for rapidshare clones or other more exotic places JDownloader

Thanks for telling me about cuetools, this shit works great.

Hey tech I'm a novice C++ programmer and I like to apply the pomodoro method when studying.

It'd probably be pretty easy to make a program that makes tomatoes pop up and cover my screen after 25 minutes right? And then go away after 5 minutes, rinse and repeat..?

Just wanna know before embarking on this journey, I've never worked with time based programs but I know how to read files in and out, so that part will be easy.

actually on second thought, how could I edit this command to yield the results I seek?

sleep 1500 && gedit -b; sleep 60 && killall gedit

I tried replacing gedit with my tomato file but then I had an error with "ib" command, and plus I want it to open about 30 tomatoes not just one


pls hepl tech very important

Wouldn't you be better off using a task sheduler for that, like cron?

yes. Only problem might be that W7 installer does not detect your HDD/SSD automatically and you have to insert the driver for your HDD/SSD I only had this with installing XP on a never machine tough. Installing the OS is not the hard part, the hard one is to get everything to work afterwards.

Generally you can install pretty much any other OS as well but the crucial part is getting everything on the board working (like integrated WLAN chip, USB3 controller, USB2 controller, onboard ethernet, etc). So you install your OS, no problem so far, good. Then you try to go to internet and you see it is not working. You need a driver for it. Then you see, your board has no support for your specific OS and you cannot install anything to make this thing work.
Therefore, always check if your board supports the system you want to run before buying it.

probably but it's not what i want to do tbh

All I need is a way to have this:

sleep 1500 && gedit -b; sleep 60 && killall gedit

open and close a .jpg file instead of a program, not sure how to word it properly for my debian OS though

Firefox Nightly or Chromium (or Iridium if your distro has it packaged).


Arch's kernel has pretty much all the bells and whistles enabled by default so it should just werk.

let's assume someone installs malware in your bios. Would it be possible to get rid of the malware if you reflash your bios with the official binary from the manufacturer or will it hide itself at some part of the EPROM that cannot be erased?

Would it be smart to do this every time you power up your pc? I mean if someone developed a libre mainboard that requires you to do it every time you start up your machine? (Apart from the not-convenient argument)?

i just got an ideapad as a handmedown, i'm trying to install lubuntu on it through a usb drive but i keep getting "[errno 5] input/output error". the ideapad has a broken cd drive, but does that really matter? is it the hard drive? is there anything i can do about it?

found another one you might consider removing:
KB3133977 activates secureboot

Well shit, I'll just be extra careful I'm not gonna spend 5 hours on updates. My biggest concern is using flash player, is iridium free of googles botnet and does it come with the latest flash player? Or should I just use firefox's dated flash?

Straight from the website.
Shit I guess I'm gonna have to use an older version of flash on firefox.

So I've been meaning to ask this: which part of my computer do I need to replace so my browser and game won't slow down whenever I want to use them both at the same time? Here are my specs.

it's an optimized version of Firefox that's pretty fast, it's around for 5 years and it's supposedly open source although the git's last update was a year ago (the browser itself is still updated though) so maybe don't use it for sensitive stuff like bank? I mean, so far there's no reason to distrust the dev but then again it's kind of a niche browser so you can never be too careful

have you guys tried this?

bitbucket.org/matthewlinton/ancile/

it's the continuation of Aegis after the original dev got mad at Voat and abandoned the project. It's a bunch of scripts to block telemetry and spying

there is the possibility for a fast command in this style:

create a batch script with commands like this for every update you want to uninstall:
wusa /uninstall /kb:2505438 /norestart

I updated my text file and you should probably check it out (here in zerobin because too long to post on 8ch):
zerobin.net/?33933ae9869f9841#EGP5z6Pnnddmq 5jCLqzqngVecEZp5kNztnKZQ/VOzE=

Can a graphics card have a botnet on it? If so, is there any with it?

Does anybody remember the windows firewall that blocked everything by default? I can't find it anymore.

Your CPU.

Alright, just making sure. Thanks.

They do bundle crap with their drivers like installing services that keep running on the background doing god knows what (probably telemetry)

Iridium removes the calling home that Chromium does. If you don't believe me, check the source code.

Anyone use Deluge here?
I've been trying to organise files once they've been completed, but as soon as they're removed from the designated "completed" folder, they stop seeding, which I don't want at all.

Does this mean I'll have to switch to another client? I have Qbit installed because it collects metadata from magnets, but the UI isn't as clean.

what site(s) should I use for torrenting?
I use NYAA for anime, but that's the only one I know of after KAT went down and I'm not very trusting of pirate bay

Rutracker.

How do I use it without speaking Russian?
the english section doesn't seem to have anything in it

Use a service LIKE Google Translate. Don't actually use Google's though.


1337x.to for movies and tv shows.
katcr.co/new/ for the new KAT, but I'm still not convinced it's not a honeypot, though FitGirl says it's legit.
eutorrentz2.eu is a metasearch engine that checks a bunch of sites.
Rarbg is good enough.
Isohunt.to has a lot but filled with ads and popups.
TorLock has a nice review system.

Then there's a few sekrit public trackers that people don't talk about because then idiots will come and get it b&.

Other than that, get on a private tracker. They're not as hard as people say they are. If you are concerned about upping ratios you download a bunch of small files, like books or game cracks, subtitle files etc for popular shows/movies, and it keeps your ratio really high.


Still after an answer for Deluge though. In addition to that, are there any torrent clients that allow you to make folders to hide certain things? I have a bunch of things I'm constantly seeding, and don't want to have to scroll through everything to find torrents I want removed.

Alright, but i was more asking about the card itself and is it possible for it to have something put in to it like the PSP for AMDs Ryzen.

Is there a script to setup basic (or advanced) router for Debian ?

i have an old can of 2-butoxi-ethanol soaked wipes for screen cleaning

are they any good for cleaning old thermal paste off a cpu?

Yes they are, especially for the final residue that non-soaked tissues struggle with.

qbittorrent allows you to sort torrents by tracker, age, completed, and allows you to create your own categories.

Following problem
What can I do? I made sure that the SATA-drive I disconnected is back in solidly AND it wasnt even my OS-installation harddrive.

Also, while I'm at it, how do I change my Drive-Letters in Windows? For some reason my external drive has been renamed from G: to H: which fucks up my filing system.

im sorta afraid they might scratch the surface?

Use I2P

No, and microscopic scratches wouldn't make a difference.

Hello! I am using python and pandas and working with one financial excel sheet where I count streaks of consecutive increases or decreases. I loaded everything into a dataframe, used pct_change() then wrote a function that takes the dataframe and returns a list of paired tuples of (time, streak) for each column in the df. The time is saved as a numeric value corresponding to the row so sample data may be (5, 2), (10,3), etc. I have another sheet of weights/opinions - I want to find out what the weight was when a streak occurred. The dates in the excel sheet are broken down by ten minute intervals on the prices sheet and on the weights sheet there is just a weight for each day. The prices sheet has its Date column in format of Day/Month/Year TI:ME(military) and on the weight sheet Day/Month/Year.

This is where I don't know how to proceed. I didn't load the Date column of the price series into my dataframe so that's why the data of (time, streak) is saved by row# and not the actual time. I don't know what approach to take to cross check between the two sheets here. Right now my thought is that when a streak occurs I should take the row #, go back and check what date corresponds to it, then go to the other sheet with that date and find out what the value is. My other thought was to take the weight sheet and convert it into the same format as the price sheet. So I would need to find the start of each day's value then add that value 144 times (24*60/10) then do the same for the next day. That way I would have two dataframe with similar rows and I could just cross check between the two. Point of issue is that the dates don't start at the same time - that is a secondary issue to the fact that I don't know what to do, but if you can help addressing that as well I'd appreciate it.

Can someone help with some concept and/or pseudo code as for what is the best approach?

Are Intel's mobile i5s and i7s the same silicon, but the i7s binned? Like for example the 6300U vs the 6600U, they have very similar specifications and performance, so are they the same

I have only ever used Mint and Ubuntu but I don't like the UI of Mint and Holla Forums bullies me for using Ubuntu. What's a good distro that's as easy to use, as well supported, and looks as nice as Ubuntu?

Bonus points for having a more responsive UI (I've got a nice computer but for some reason there's more lag on the Ubuntu UI than on Mint or Winblows 7).

Oh and easy to use doesn't necessarily mean beginner-friendly, I mean that once I learn how its used it will make me very efficient while using it. An example would be installing programs through one line in the terminal as opposed to clicking through your browser and installers on Windows, the latter is more beginner-friendly but in the end it isn't as easy to use.

Boot from a livecd and check the journal from the failed boot attempts. Probably something to do with the vid card change.
Disk Management, right-click volume, assign drive letter

tbh fam Ubuntu is fine. Some people got upset when they defaulted to sending your searches to amazon. They stopped doing that but some people are still upset. You could try kubuntu or one of the others to see if it's more responsive.

Since you're already familiar with Ubuntu / Debian based distros you should probably stick with it. If you don't mind the systemdick, try Antergos or Manjaro, they're easier to configure than Arch and hold your hand quite a bit, but they're not beginner distros.


That and and they started to use systemd and they added a stupid Ubunto addon in firefox.

Devuan would be Debian without Systemd

Have problems with playing online games. Warframe, dota, paragon nothing works. For example when i try to play warframe it wont update. When i try to play dota the selecte game wont start. I cant login into paragon at all.

Two days ago it was fine. What seems to be problem in here?

Good point. Didn't know about the firefox addon, that sounds like bloatware.

Your internet connection is down.

It's not i wouldnt post here

Might be a virus, run scans. If you have another computer on the same network, see if you can login to paragon from it. If not, contact your ISP.

Does qubes do anything special or is literally just fedora with xen preconfigured

Okay i have tried to login paragon on mother computer and it works absolutely fine. Is it virus?

Look under "How does Qubes OS provide security?" on qubes-os.org/intro/


Probably, run anti-virus scans.

Ok as stated before my internet works but the online games dont. Warframe wont update paragon wont login dota 2 find match wont work other games like infestation the new Z or planetside 2 work. I have ran nod antivirus and nufings. I have tried to play same games with my mother notebook on the same network and they works. I have used lots of vpns to post here becasue of reasons. Does this configuration looks okay? When i have uninstalled those vpns did they do something to my configuration?

You're beast thanks this worked.

I have a few questions.

I have tried to maintain personal security on this machine, by only using it with accounts that aren't directly traced to my identity.

However, I've since broken this rule, and have begun to login to my longstanding, useful personal gmail account. I have also entered in information about my address, and on occasion, my credit card number.

For reasons, I would like to be able to access some content I have behind Facebook's login wall on this computer. I was originally going to ask:

What can I do to log into Facebook from this computer while not pozzing this computer ?

But at this point, this machine is already compromised, so, should I really be concerned about logging into it at this point?


Second question: I know there used to be a thread for this, but now I can't find it.

I have a $50 gift card, and I'd like to use it to purchase a VPN for personal use.
I know that there was an excellent guide to VPNs, in the form of a spreadsheet, but have since wiped that file off the machine and can't locate it .

What VPNs does Holla Forums recommend? I'm looking for something that I can use across platform.

Third question:

I'm in the process of teaching myself C, and have begun to take an intro to OOP course in school. Unfortunately, the class is officially taught in pseudocode with a Java and Visual Basic emphasis. This is enough to make me want to drop the class, but at this point it's kind of the only option I have in terms of continuing towards my major.
I don't think I'll have the bandwidth to learn C while also half-heartedly immersing myself in the above shitshows of language. What I'm curious about is, What are the downsides of learning a language like Java as an entryway into programming? I know that, for its flaws, knowing the language itself is quite useful.

hey Holla Forums,

I'm trying to install gnunet on a mac and the damn thing won't compile. Running "make" after configuring per the online install guide gives the following error Making all in block CCLD libgnunetblock.laUndefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_libintl_dgettext", referenced from: _GNUNET_BLOCK_context_destroy in block.old: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Why is Flash such garbage?


Why the fuck do people develop .swf files that can't be run on older versions of Flash? Especially when that leaves their users entirely dependant on a single company. "Muh security" os irrelevant from the developer's side of things.

It's the constant upgrade cycle mentality. They always expect you to run latest version of everything. It wasn't such a big deal before the Internet got all commercialized, and for all it mattered you could be browsing on Lynx via a dialup shell account, while sitting at home nice and comfy in front of your TRS-80 or whatever. But now if you don't have latest Firefox or Chrome, you're just a second-class citizen, because that's what they develop for, and there is no longer any kind of graceful fallback like they did in the 90's for people who were browsing without javascript (flash is same story, except worse).

Android have more privaleges than aiphone but google still watching . Are there any phones that truly give full anonymity . Or what the closes you can get to not having someone like google looking over your shoulder and mointoring you and having access to you.

How do I set up a proxy?
I'm on firefox and linux.
Do I simply go into network connections > method: manual > http proxy: 000.00.00.00 or w/e?
Or do I use the https proxy? What is "ignore hosts: localhost"?

I found many lists of free proxies on the internet. I can trust those right?
Example:

EXAMPLES:
free-proxy-list.net/
Some here are listed as "elite proxy" defined as "The web server can't detect whether you are using a proxy."
Others are "anonymous" defined as "The web server can know you are using a proxy, but it can't know your real IP."

So can I trust some of the proxies there?
If yes, how do I set one up?

There really aren't any. You shouldn't think of yourself as learning Java in the first place. You're learning ideas and concepts, Java is just how you execute them. They are really two different things, though they are closely related.

Ok, lets say if there were two routers connected to a modem and you wanted to enable port forwarding on one of them, would that have any effect on the first modem?

Also, when setting up the second router, would connecting an Ethernet cord from the first one to the second to provide internet to it be a bad idea if I would want to set up port forwarding on the second one?

I just want to add that the reason for two routers is because the router that wouldn't have port forwarding enabled is connected to a computer that has precious data. I was thinking that I would need a second router to enable port-forwarding for the computer I need so that it wouldn't interfere with the network of the first router.

I'm trying to get rtorrent to work with xmlrpc, and so far I've deduced the problem to be a matter of Apache not loading mod_proxy_scgi.

I add the line "LoadModule mod_proxy_scgi modules/mod_proxy_scgi.so" to my conf and get the message

httpd: Syntax error on line 56 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_proxy_scgi.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_scgi.so: undefined symbol: ap_proxy_canonenc

Out of curiosity I add the line "LoadModule mod_proxy modules/mod_proxy.so" before it, only to get the error

Feb 05 09:55:17 barbara httpd[22349]: httpd: Syntax error on line 55 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Can't locate API module structure `mod_proxy' in file /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so: undefined symbol: mod_proxy

Obviously I don't know what I'm doing.
For the immediate: do you know what I'm doing wrong? What do I have to add to make it load the damn modules and work?
Alternatively, what resources do I use to start the beginning so that I know what I'm doing here?

I use my numpad for entering numbers. Hell, I hardly even know what each key does when the numlock is off.
How might I turn this annoying light off while keeping the numlock function turned on?

Looking for in-depth and/or well-sourced answer on some questions.

What is the state of hardware passthrough on Qubes, slackware, gentoo and bsd/variants for gaming purposes? What are the best practices/recommendations for hardware passthrough, and VM configuring? Will a creative soundblaster allow me to have win7 VM sound in qubes?

I have a vt-d capable MB, and I'm not sure my GPU (evga 660 w. SLI) is capable.

When the numlock is off, the numpad will do functions like the 6 keys above the arrow keys. Also with the numlock off, you can use the arrow keys on the numpad. If it's on then you can use the numbers and the addition without having to worry about going to home, page down, etc. Now not every program cares about the functions of the numpad regardless if numlock is on or not so I would see where issues would not arise. But I would imagine that when there comes a time when there is a program that accepts the extra functions and you don't know the state of the num lock, shit would get confusing fast. If you really wanted to, you could go to this link unix.stackexchange.com/questions/337647/disable-num-lock-indicator-led-or-reverse-keypad-so-when-num-lock-is-on-indicat If you are on windows, take apart your keyboard and find where the connection to the led is and disconnect it because I don't know what to do in that situation.

It would be appreciated to have an answer.

From wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/List_of_recommended_Windows_software, it sounds like you are talking about Tinywall, however by default some services are unblocked by default (embed related) however they are mostly critical ones. However Windows Firewall Control's Secure Boot option may be more useful.

If I were to buy new GPU now what would be the best choice in terms of linux driver maturity? I mean a driver/gpu combo which handles fullscreen transitions and OpenGL without weird glitching or system crashes (they tend to surface often with japanese games under wine), and has good X support.

Doesn't matter if it's a bit older one, i just want to know if anything works WELL.

trying to make a pomodoro clock still, so far my best command is:

sleep 1 && display tom.jpg; sleep 5 && killall display tom.jpg

but for some reason, killall isn't killing the image display, how might i remedy this?

Shit's great, why isn't this in the sticky? Removing telemetry is there, but this is good stuff.


I did more research and I found it to be true. When I saw the website I failed reading comprehension
Was talking about Chromium not iridium.

I assembled this pc like a year ago

So I've built a router with spare parts and decided to put Debian on it.

It will manage the WAN (fiber) and serve it to LAN & WLAN (eth0 & wlan0 respectively)

I installed Debian Jessie (with only "System utilities"), not even SSH, as I will manage it through serial; then I updated my sources.list to stretch and ran dist-upgrade.

But before configuring the network, I would like to know to make it small and secure.
Administration though serial only is a good idea. But what could I do next ?
Right now, the installation uses roughly 1.5GB, it would be nice to go under 1GB. I could definitely remove non needed packages etc..

Anything else ?

Some suggestions: only allows access from a specific IP on the Lan, long passwords, change the default brodcasted name(s) and alter brodcasted system infomation, a seperate user per major program (e.g. one for DNS another for HDCP) disable root and replace with sudo, change the default port if possible (it will stop script kidies), reduce the amount of system infomation provided on login.

Several from a non-tech here, which have probably been answered countless times.

I've got an ex-display-model laptop, a bit older than a year in my hands. It's practically always been running below its weight, in terms of its specs, but it's now in a decline that has left it constantly lagging in and out of tasks.

Bearing that in mind, as well as how buggy and basic the Windows OS has become, I was considering finally moving to Linux/Ubuntu instead. This is what I wanted to pick your brains on, and I've got a few different questions.

1.Can I expect to run, if I install a Linux-based OS?
I've already got games and a few emulators, through both Steam and not; and an assortment of artistic software including 3d suites, drawing programs, etc. I figure most are lost causes - I don't mind the programs so much, since I know they all have Linux versions, but the games are gonna kill me - they take up half my space, and I doubt I'll be able to easily replace most of them with Linux versions. I know specifics might be impossible unless I make a laundry list, but some kind of idea (about the games) would be nice - even if it's a compatibility workaround.

- How do I actually install Linux and/or other OS's? Do I need to install Linux, and then specify from there? I'm mostly a novice to doing this, but I'm assuming I'll download a file, mount it, and then boot up and install. I also want to do a full wipe, so I can get this machine as clean and uncluttered as I can. Inb4 the official documentation: I know it exists, but I just want a general picture before I take the plunge - I'll most likely be installing it while I'm traveling/lounge surfing, so my attention will be shot.

- Is Ubuntu even the right OS to go for? It's really a stab in the dark for me, since I don't know shit about Linux. I'm considering that it might not even be worth it to pursue this avenue, and instead just wait until I have the money to get another laptop. Also, any general beginner's info you guys have on Linux and its children would be great.


Pic is how my computer feels right now.

Depending on the game, wine may work or even in some cases ( e.g. Assassin`s Creed 2) run better than native. Also I would suggest checking both alternativeto.net and the install gentoo wiki to check for alternative software. Also again depending on the age, wine may be an option.
Short version: download a usb image writer (e.g. Netbootin or such) as CD`s while personally at leat more reliable when booting up can be slow and can more easily get locked up when trying to multi twist. Then which ever distro you chose, download the .iso that matches your processor type (most likely 64bit). Then verify the checksum the to very slightly more shure that the image hasn't been tampered with or corrupted. After that plug in a thumb drive, that the contents which can be safely overwritten. Now start up Netbootin or such, select the downloaded .iso and the destination as the thumb drive. When it is done, reboot and bring up your BIOS/UEFI`s temporary boot menu (usually a message will show up during POST, press X to interput start up/select boot media or such). Finally after booting you should hopefully be in the test environment where you can either A) install it to disk for long term use or B) try it out, either way once done it is as nothing happened (except for any data saved to disk).
I will say this right now, I am biased against Ubuntu. Also personally rolling >>> stable. I would recommend Antergos as it based off Arch and unlike Manjaro is fully rolling release. The installer is pretty nice, when I last used it a while back. I would have suggest my current personal favourite Void, if shlib`s weren't broken and being a pain in my side.

There is your problem right there.

In theory yes.
No. I hope you have replaced the PSU as a failed one may take the rest of your system down with it.

Minor issues I can right off, sleep Sx is how is supposed to work I belive. Also that ; should really be &&. Finally killall only works process so you should target display rather than the image.

Thanks a bunch! You've streamlined a process that would have probably kicked the shit out of me, in my unpreparedness. Also thanks to anyone who reads all this shit, contributes info, or shit, just happens to be scrolling by. Thanks to everyone, I love you all! Mwah! x

During the last month I was supposed to test for a job and write an essay about it. Now after doing the job turns out I needed to take pictures with my phone during the test job for my essay but I didn't. it says in red that the pictures need to be mine so no google allowed.
Long story short : I need any personal picture you have of pc parts/a bench where they fix PCs/any requirements that may be used to fix PCs etc... since the job was about PC maintenance

This might be the weirdest question I asked so far.

can someone link me to a good site about phone modding? I stopped giving attention long time ago and now i don't know what's new and how to approach it.

I keep getting ID'd on twitter and banned. I have a dynamic IP, I delete cookies/app data.

How are they finding me and what extra steps I'm I missing?

Also, a link to a new online text service would be good.

Every time I close and open Opera, the speed dial stays the same, and the theme reverts to default. When I go to bookmarks and clikc on Other Speeds Dials they just keep increasing every time. Any bookmarks I add are put the in new speed dials. This started happening after I installed Avast(I deleted it and it still keeps happening.) How do I fix this?

I finally assembled a new PC and have a total of 90GB of data including my whole image folder, the content of several perfectly aligned shitrim porn mods and other /hgg/ stuff I want to transfer from the old one to the new computer. My only double-sided USB cable is broken and copying through the home network happens at a crawling speed of magnificent 200-300kb/s, I have an estaminated internet upload speed of around 600-700kb/s though.
Do you guys have any suggestions what I could try to speed up the process?

How do I avoid getting tracked in Holla Forums like pic related says? Do I have to use Tor or are there any solutions using Firefox?

I would assume that your remployer may ask you for details about "your" computer, in that case good luck to you. Also I assume it must have been slightly hard to still get the job even after you were unable to complete a part of the testing process. Anyway would embed work?

For software modding, XDA can't be beaten. For hardware, I don't think it happen's at a frequency where a community is viable.

Easy way, don't use Twitter. I fail to seed to usefulness of it. Hard way, try seeing using some of the suggestions in wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Anonymising_yourself . As for the online text service, searx.me/?q=free online text service&categories=general .

Some external hard drive cases are able give you access to the drive it's self. This can be very useful, however some brands make it more harder or immpossible (looking at you Segate) than others. If you can't get access to the drive it's self then rsync with the compression option may help. Or you could compress the data direclly with 7z or such.

I want to dual boot Arch Linux and Windows. I use half of my hard drive as a VHD. When installing Arch, will this be a problem? Will I be able to easily differentiate the free space on my HDD from the free space of the VHD?

Fix your home network or buy a 128GB flash drive.

Ad networks use many different ways to track you. There is a range of responses available. Beginner mode is set Firefox to delete cookies on exit. Advanced mode is use Tor Browser with Javascript disabled. Tinfoil mode is don't use internet.

Your VHD exists in partitioned space. To dual boot, you will need unpartitioned space. If you see unpartitioned space in windows disk manager, the arch installer will be able to see it too.

Who here would trust the MATLAB installer with root permissions over their computer?

I need help creating a Visual Basic macro for Excel that takes the value from a cell, creates a file path from it and inserts the file into another cell in the same worksheet. Preferably looped.

Been searching my ass off but all I find is retarded pajeets and their pajeet code and not proper help. Never worked with VB before, sadly.

Cells cannot contain files.

what are you really trying to do

Right, let me phrase this differently.

I got a bunch of file names in column H and want to make a macro that takes these values, makes a file path out of them and then pastes that file next to the individual cells.
For example:
H5 contains "014774", which corresponds with 014774.jpg in //server/folder/subfolder. Excel should copy that file, resize it and paste it next to H5.

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'

'
Dim file As String
Dim path As String
Dim row As Integer
Dim MyPic As Shape
Dim picLeft As Single
Dim picTop As Single

path = Cells(1, "S").Value

Range("H2").Select
file = Cells(2, "H").Value
row = 2

Do While ActiveCell.Value ""
file = path + "\" + ActiveCell.Value
picLeft = ActiveCell.Left - 100
picTop = ActiveCell.Top
Set MyPic = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddPicture(file, msoFalse, msoTrue, picLeft, picTop, -1, -1)

MyPic.Height = 100
MyPic.Width = 100
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Loop

End Sub

Thanks, with your script and a different one I found I managed to bash together a working macro.

Easier than I thought but then again I have 0 knowledge of VBA commands.

yeah thanks I'm just trying to get as much open pcs as I can to make it look like I was actually fixing computers

How do I install Easytether on an OpenWRT router?

I'm using a 4g enabled tablet tethered to a router flashed with OpenWRT as my home internet connection because I just moved to an area with shitty internet options and I've got an unlimited mobile data plan. My tethered data is being counted as mobile hotspot data, which I only have 5gb of. So I need to hide the fact that I'm tethering so I don't get throttled.

mobile-stream.com/easytether/android_faq.html#openwrtsetup

Here are the instructions provided by Easytether. I'm sure I could figure it out, but the first 3 steps are cryptic bullshit (lol just figure it out and get it installed, bro!). The files I need to install on the router are not in the default OpenWRT repository, and I don't know enough about Linux to seek out packages from specific URLs. Can anyone explain it to me?

I'm on a windows laptop, but I use Putty to communicate with the router which functionally works like a Linux terminal. I don't think its possible to install anything from the internet onto the router by opening a browser and typing in 192.168.1.1.

How do I take a screenshot of a page where I cannot hide the comments and which is too big?
The firefox F12 developer mode "take a screenshot" option does not work on too big a page and firefox addons such as fireshot or awesome screenshot plus also don't.

Is there any benefits in changing to Windows 8.1 from 7? I'm thinking of running it inside VM (using dreamspark key) and nuking the 7 partition I have (since it's broken to the point I need to reinstall it anyway - caused by hdd failure).

Would it be more VM friendly than 7? I'm going to put office 2013 + Visual Studio 2017 RC in it, and some games which don't work under wine.

I don't see why it should make a difference in a VM.

There is no silver bullet against canvas fingerprinting and fingerprinting in genereal, since it compares your fingerprint to all others, so your trackability does not only depend on your actions, but on the actions of everyone else who uses the website. In order to avoid having a unique fingerprint you have to blend in, but to do that, you'd need to know the settings and habits of everyone else. Given that this website has only ~5000 users, it's difficult to disappear in the crowd, since the crowd is very small and there are not enough people who share your fingerprint.

Well I tried the inspect element and node thing but it doesnt work and I cant see the node except for "body" plus I don't understand them,
I tried the thing, I downloaded it, but I'm on linux, so it doesn't work. I could try opening it with playonlinux I guess, but I don't know what components it needs.
Thanks anyway though.

Can someone explain this GPG key bullshit with AUR packages?

Am I really expected to manually search for and import the key every time I install an AUR package? I don't ever check these keys (I don't know how). Isn't there a way to make pacaur automatically import what is needed?

People elsewhere keep pointing me to that one blog, but I have no idea what it's talking about, it seems like a blog for people who are developing Arch, not for noobs trying to learn it. The other thing I hear is "learn how to manually build packages" which I have zero interest in since it's a lot of work and pamac/pacaur already does it all.

So I got a deal on 4 500gb HDD today. They appear to work (I haven't tested them all) and the buyer has stated that I can return them if they do not.

I'm currently in the process of setting one up to a Windows drive for gaming. (You may have seen some of my earlier posts a while back about how hard my computer is trying to keep me from reinstalling its native hardware, like it's begging me not to put Windows on it again.)

For the rest of them, I plan on using them as storage by purchasing a few external cases with USB.

My original intention was to remove and replace the harddrive depending on which OS I want to use. But that's a huge hassle and I'd prefer to not run the risk of damaging my computer just to boot a different OS.

Would it be realistically possible to take that harddrive from my machine after Windows is installed, put it in an external case, plug it in via USB, and boot from USB? My PID is stored in my BIOS.

Initial research tells me no due to Windows reinitializing the USB ports during boot, but I wanted to come ask you fucking nerds to see if anyone knows - experientially - that this can be done.

Apparently Youtube just figured out a new way to get around Adblocking this evening. Anyone know what the new element to block is?

Can't find a clear answer, if I buy an hdmi to DP adapter to use with my console on my pg278q will it work? Don't want to waste time and money buying the stuff.

It depends on the brand/model of the adaptor and the console in question as there active vs passive adaptors. What vague possible benefit can you see by running in DP, though? Personally I can`t and not having to deal with a very short (~ 1m) cable who`s ends I find a pain to deal with.

Are there any better alternative to Adobe Reader, that I should know?

If you are on Linux, Evince suits my needs well. I don't know what to use if you are on windows though.

No, you can't boot windows from USB.

looks like it works good. Thanks.

The point is to utilize an entire HDD's worth of games on my laptop (which is, sadly, the only thing I've got that has decent enough specs) without having to manually remove my regular HDD (and potentially subject either to damage.)

I really wish there were some glimmer of hope that you're wrong here, but there does not appear to be. Fucking bummer.

I'm noticing a slight abrasive noise in my Thinkpad fan besides the whoosh of air. It sounds roughly like brushing the edge of a piece of paper over smooth stone. Would it indicate the fan could use oiled?

The PG278Q only has a display port and my other monitor broke. I'd rather not buy a new one.

I have an ASUS PCE-N53 wifi adapter. The driver from the manufacturer's website (asus.com/support/Download/11/1/0/47/F3giHhIS4hp6aWBW/5/) is incomplete and requires the installation of GCC-C++ (The command written out by the readme doesn't work when typed in). It also requires source code, also loaded up from the internet, except I need the wifi adapter to download those things.

The build instructions make no sense, either, to someone with no programming experience who just wanted to switch to Mint from Windows. How can I make this work?

But honestly, though. Could it have installed some shady shit, and how would I check for it on Linux?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7. The display won't show anything but it's otherwise functioning normally. At the store they said they'd have to send it to the manufacturer for repair. I want to remove all sensitive data from the device first, which I believe can be accomplished by plugging it into a computer, using another S7 as a reference for where everything is, such as the keypad for PIN, and then moving everything from phone to PC. My question is, is there anything else I can do to be especially safe? I mean, I doubt they'd really do anything but just fix the damned thing. It's not like they're gonna fix it and then try to get into my Bank of America app. But, I dunno, I'm just a little paranoid and all.

You could either A) perform a system reset that will take it back to stock however unencrypted (and even encrypted) it may be possible for previous data to recovered. Or B) run some whipng tools on sub storage directories when the internal storage is mounted.

Are there any addons that only add "script surrogates" (=replacement to blocked javascript or elements) to a page? Something like NoScript Lite version or is that feature built-in in µBlock origin?

Alternatively do surrogate's work in noscript in default allow mode? If i run it as a lightweight version most features disabled alongside with µBO

Can you "copy to clipboard" in scrot, similarly to windows snipping tool?

If you really want to be safe, you could make a complete phone backup, save it to computer, then do system reset.
When you get the repaired phone back, restore from backup.

I've considered getting a mechanical keyboard for a while now, and from what I saw in reviews and specifications in websites they all look pretty same-ish (aside from obvious differences like switch type, LED and size).
Assuming I have an idea of what switches I want and i'm going to stick to cherry MX switches, what other things should I look for in a mechanical keyboard?

Are there any brands that are considered better or worse? Any features or specifications I should consider deal makers or breakers?

If you go used, check for wear in the switches. If you feel a crunchy noise or a weird click when you press a key, don't bother. Try all the keys, or at least the arrow keys and wasd.
Outside that, don't get Razer's older ones. I've heard the new ones are better but be careful anyway. You'll want a mechanical keyboard with a detachable cable, so that if the cable gets fucked you're still fine. If you're using it for vidya don't get MX blues, their on and off press distances are different so you can't mash as fast.
My only experience with mechanical keyboards involves the Ducky Shine 3 and an old keyboard with Alps Blue switches. The Shine 3 felt nice, but it might be expensive to get new.

Can anyone think of some way to do this, so that I don't have to manually replace the harddrive every time I'd like to sign in?

Is there some way that I could, say, add a boot partition, link to it in Grub, and have grub look for the external HDD for the remaining windows partitions? Or more simply, tell GRUB to boot from the HDD?

It's a small pain to change out the harddrives each time, and I don't want to run the risk of damaging them.

Hmm. Alternatively, could I pop my Linux HDD into an external casing and have it load via USB? It's not configured to be a LiveUSB.

If you want a keyboard that sounds like a typewriter or super old keyboard and just feels good when you write texts for a long time (programming) get an mx blue. They are loud but they feel good.
If you want a more silent keyboard with the fastest possible reaction time where every single microsecond counts (FPS online gaming), get an MX-Red.
If you want something in the middle between Red and Blue, get the MX-Brown.
If you want the most hardcore version with super high actuation force, get the MX-Green (this is for people with large and heavy hands).
If you want a keyboard for gaming but a little higher actuation force to not accidentally activate keys while playing, get the MX-Black

The brand will not make any difference. All the switches come from Cherry and only difference is the label that the manufacturer presses on its keyboard and fancy backlights/illumination "features". Cherry has its own Mechanical keyboard series with a very plain and classic design and you can buy them for ~$80 while the fancy gaymer keyboards from Razor, Corsair and Roccat will cost around $100. I would also recommend you to try out each of those color types because it would be a shame if you spent 100$ for a keyboard that you don't feel comfortable with.

how do i install wine2.0 in gentoo when i have the tar.bz2 file already copied to /usr/portage/distfiles

help me get wine working
anyone? please

Even if this was possible, USB is too slow to run your operating system from. It´s just not going to be a good experience.

Just put an OS (or two) onto your main HDD, and install the game you want to play, or whatever. When you´re done, play a different game. The 500Gb HDDs could be good for backup. Get one of those External HDD docking stations to plug them into, and just change out as required.

A good USB drive on USB 3.0 is a lot faster than an old HDD and most of the OS is stored in memory anyway, so in practice the only difference is that it takes longer to boot.

An "old laptop"...Are we talking perhaps ten years old?

Probably SATA 2 @ 3Gb/s,
or SATA3 @ 6Gb/s
Probably only USB2 @0.48Gb/s

Wants to play games... probably has 1 - 4 GB RAM. Sounds painful.

Palemoon doesn't support the self destructing cookies addon anymore, which one should I get as a replacement?

Hello,
I installed Plymouth on Gentoo yesterday. I set up genkernel-next-65 with plymouth support, created a 71-seat.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d/, and created an initramfs with the spinfinity theme. I set spinfinity as plymouth's default theme too and confirmed it works with X because i tested it. However when I boot up, it still shows the text theme foe some reason. Any ideas? Not at computer right now, can provide logs in the evening.

The thing is that I have been unable to reinstall Windows on my Linux hard drive.

I have no idea why. I have done it before successfully after wiping the original Win8 installation. I used the exact same method. I have tried installing on a partition (desired result) as well as wiping my hard drive (including using diskpart.) I have given windows both a correctly formatted GPT hard drive and a raw, unformated harddrive.

The ISO is totally fine and has been attempted from both USB (on different drives) and DVD. It worked for me before, and it worked on the new hard drive without a hitch. Key stored in BIOS checks out.

Microsoft, of course, was no help (I got the ISO from a MSDN friend.) They did give me a Win8.1 key after multiple attempts, in leui of providing an installation media.

I tried 13 times, after exhaustive research. I finally gave up. Some of my attempts may still be chronicled in this thread.

If simply dual booting weren't an issues (and it wasn't before) I'd have just done that.

Anyway I have a different question.

I found an old IBM Aptivia for $7 today. It's missing the graphics card but I can replace that for under $20.

First boot it booted fine, loaded the POST and WinME screen, then the video cut off as not supported - out of range on one monitor, and input not supported on the other.

Using VGA. Assuming this is a resolution error. To be safe, I took it apart. Seems fine, excepting the lack of graphics card, and though I haven't looked into the CPU the initial display post boot makes me think it has integrated graphics.

Pic related.

Thing is, on second and third boot I received a series of beeps after POST, indiciating a PSU issue. Can't see anything wrong, but hardware isn't my wheelhouse. Let me know if you can see anything worth trying to troubleshoot.

Figure I'd use this for OBSD or test runs of simple OSs, maybe as a dedicated DOS machine. Open to other suggestions.

Nevermind, is booting fine on fourth boot.

Satisfying hum. I have an old, full Win95 installation media laying handy (another thrift store find), any reason why I should install that over BSD?

Is there any particular reason you would want to have a VPN server on a router/firewall instead of a dedicated server or vice versa? Is one method inherently better than the other, or would the following reasons be valid to choose one method over the other?
In the case of the firewall, it makes sense to just have users connect to that because it will be handling outside connections anyway and would be easier than having it on a separate server and then having to configure the ports the VPN would need. But in the case of a separate server, you can then have 1 account for users if they need to access resources on said server and keep them off firewall access if they don't need it.
I'm assuming that if someone is capable of running a VPN server that the frequency of updates/ability to update a router vs. a server is irrelevant.

Well I eman if you're really anal about semantics look at this how to intowindows.com/two-ways-to-create-windows-7-live-usb-drive/
But like if it's games that you want, why not use wine? Do you really care about your graphics?

lolwut


I've tried Wine, both manually configured and via POL. Things like Mass Effect or MGS5 don't work.

I don't really mind playing on lower end graphics, I don't have a flashy GPU or anything. But, Wine doesn't really function very well on this machine - at least, it doesn't really provide me anything greater than what the Linux steam client does.

Whereas, dedicating an entire HD for gaming is pretty dang nice, minus the task of replacing them.

Solid lead though, thanks. Didn't know Windows 8 came with an option to make it portable. Hypothetically, this puts me in the right direction... we'll see what happens when the cases arrive.

Oh, also, another reason I'm not using Wine: I have an external controller that I cannot get Linux to recognize (again, see earlier posts in this thread.) I really dislike keyboard & mouse gaming.

No I was trying to allude that livecd and liveusb can be the same thing. You still burn an iso to a usb. You can't use a livecd like a usb, but you can use a liveusb like a cd.

your question misses the important detail:
what are you trying to achieve by using VPN?

Am I right that PCI passthrough is required to run demanding vidya in a VM and that it's impossible to do this with macOS host?

Depends on what tasks you want to do.
biggest issue with Win95 — it has no memory isolation and no permissions system, so, it's like every process runs as root and can do anything at all, all bets are off.
Except GUI, there's little real difference from DOS.

This is horseshit. In the past, I installed Windoze on a 32GB USB flash stick and used it for gaming on a macbook without any problems.

This is why you should have been using FDE right from the start, and with a strong password.
Then you wouldn't have to bother, just give it as is(turned off, of course), nobody could get your data.

yes
there's no way to check. other than taking full disk offline backups before and after installation and comparing them.

…or reverse engineering the whole installer, but this is very inefficient spending of a reasonable man's time.

youtube-dl

this is complete horseshit.
I booted Win8.1 from USB with zero problems.

you can instead `delete node` on the parts which you don't want in the screenshot.

>Ffmpeg if you want to be a 1337 H4>

This is horse shit. I noticed many websites who still do that.

Asker of original question. Just to clarify, you booted into a Live *installation* of Windows, yes?

This is starting to sound far more promising - so theoretically, all I have to do is get it in the case and (since BIOS is already configured to boot from USB first) plug it in and it'll boot?

I'm using Windows 8, but I assume it's no different than Windows 8.1

8.1 is a bit faster in general if you cut all the fat from it first.
don't know about anything VM-related.

Yes, exactly.
And played some games from it.
Without even accessing any built-in drives.
This was a macbook, however. But I think it should be possible to pull off on a regular PC/laptop too.

If I were you, I'd go with 8.1 just to avoid the chance of some differences.

afair the trickiest part is to install it there, and I did something like attaching flashdrive directly to a VM, installing from there and then booting from that flash drive

what's wrong with you dude?

you need openjdk, javac is just a tiny part of it

Sweet, that is good news.
I have a Windows 8.1 PID sitting around, although I hope I never have to install Windows again in my life. (see >711180)

Cool, just gonna wait for the case to arrive and troubleshoot from there as necessary. Thanks for the responses, all.


The harddrive already has Windows 8, plus all games desired, completely installed. Will do what I need, but here's hoping it's plug and play. HAH, who am I kidding.


I got BSD running on the Aptiva, but without internet connectivity, and it looks as though the harddrive might be on its way out.

I have a bunch of SATA harddrives laying around, what are the chances I could swap 'em out? I take it, since it looks like the machine wants a 3.5 and I only have 3.5, absolutely nothing.


... what can I do with 6 gb of space and 128 mb ram? I was born just after the 80s ended, I don't know what's possible with that amount.

someone posted this at pol should i paste it into my options or is it a virus?

Hey guys I made a quick simple script a while back for the additional user scripts site option. It makes threads less than 2 hours old slightly green, and threads greater than a day old slightly red. Didn't know where to share this so here goes:
var mixList = document.getElementsByClassName("mix");var i;for (i = 0; i < mixList.length; i++) { var e = mixList[i]; var timestamp = e.getAttribute("data-time"); var curtime = Math.floor(Date.now()/1000); if(curtime-timestamp > 60*60*24) { e.style.backgroundColor = "#F6E7E7"; } else if(curtime-timestamp < 60*60*2) { e.style.backgroundColor = "#E7F6E7"; }

i mean, just look at it and use your common sense

Is there an open source Holla Forums approved GPS app for my phone? I'd rather a standalone unit because I don't have a lot of data but I need one for now.

I want to download entire (about 3-4) youtube channels and I would like it to automatically download any new videos from them as the update.

The catch - I want them to automatically download/convert as just mp3 files and not video files. Is there any windows service out there that allows for this?

Does anybody have that script that renames images in a folder to their unix timestamps that people were posting back when the change happened?

youtube-dl can do this if you can into command line interface. I'm not sure if there's a GUI available, and even if there was it probably wouldn't have as many options for what you need it to do.

github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md

I would just write a script for those channels and set it to run daily, or however often I want.

Thank you very much

I want to scream, Holla Forums.

All I want is a working encryped slackware but lilo is being a dumb stubborn bitch and not letting me use my keyboard to unlock my volume. I set up the initrd to use drivers as listed via "lsusb -t", plus the generic driver. lilo updates its log when I unplug/replug in the keyboard AND IT STILL WON'T FUCKING RESPOND!

I've tried three different keyboards, nothing. This was not the case with an encrypted fedora. I don't feel like this is a hardware issue, install was from a dvd, i've reinstalled slack on my computer several times, but this is my first time trying to get it working while encrypted. hd is lvm, one partition because I just want shit to work.

I just don't know anymore. At this point I'm feeling like I might as well install calculate.

What's a good domain registrar that respects my privacy? I'd like to get a domain but I don't want my personal info on the whois db for all to see.

Arch encryption question: How much more of a PITA is LUKS-on-LVM to manage than LVM-on-LUKS, in terms of ease of LV resizing? I'd go with the latter if not for it apparently not supporting one LV spanning multiple hard drives.

I'm at with wit's end with lilo, Holla Forums.

all I want is an encrypted slackware, but goddamn, lilo won't let me use my keyboard to unlock my volume.
filesystem is lvm, formatted in ext4, I've done all the instructions listed in README_CRYPT.txt but it wouldn't work. I did the mkinitrd helper script, and used drivers as listed by "lsusb -t" plus the generic listed in the helper script. when I tried the full set of drivers in the helper script via dvd, I restarted lilo and it puked out "only linear boot device supported".

the keyboard is not the problem otherwise I would have been unable to do the install period, I have tried 3 different keyboards during boot, none of them work. lilo updates its log whenever I plug or unplug a device, and I fail to understand how lilo can be detecting a device, with proper drivers and refuse to function.

WHY WON'T IT LET ME USE MY GODDAMN KEYBOARD?!

it's getting to the point where I might as well install calculate.

I thought that post didn't work.

Yeah, but that means, what, punching in a code before the phone can even boot? Also, sometimes people need to be able to get into the phone to make it work, like if there's a software issue blacking the screen, which appeared to be the case before, but apparently there was also a hardware problem.


So I have transferred everything from the phone onto a PC. Everything that can be transferred, anyway. May change a couple of passwords just to be extra paranoi--safe. Now I just need to overwrite the unused space with junk data 3+ times. What is a software that can do that? I just tried Eraser and that doesn't seem to want to do it.

Say I got into a big facebook group of people I wanted to scrape their information from. The group is closed so I can't just go to the API and do it that way.

I'm in the group and have downloaded the 'Members' page which has name hyperlinked to their personal fb. I have been having trouble finding out how to find a way to extract all the names + account links.

What's the best way to go about this? I'm looking to assemble everything in a .csv.

Bonus points: After I collected all the names + links to fb, how could I scrape fb for all biographical information of these people that I could?

, Some revelant comments from a recent Arstechncia article (leave spicer alone or why dns registration is horrible), say what you want about the author's the comments sections can be very worthwhile sciming most of the time.

Hopefully some of the results for "GPS" and software under the Navigation tab , on F-Droid will be of use.

Yes it does.
You could unlock it in front of them and be present as long as possible (you may just learn something interesting). Or give them unlock code.
Unfortunately CC Cleaner doesn't seem to be an option (not shure about it's mobile form), so the best method would probably do it manual way of copying files and then deleting them.

I use Icaros to fix the awful thumbnailing on windows, and fespite it using ffmpeg, the software itself is not free software. Anyone know if there are issues with icaros, or is it just a project the dev wanted to realease under his own weirdo license?

Hey guys, I had an unbelievably massive fuck up today.

I set all my permissions in /home to root, and now I can't even save a file from GUI and I have to run absolutely everything as root, and that's really fucking me up (all bookmarks, cookies, etc lost, having to completely rely on the command line).


Other than a reinstall what's the easiest way to fix this?

sudo CHMOD 777

my ssd has extremely cracy tpw numbers, first day 500Gb, second day 80Gb, I disabled all the pagefile, swap, optimized it for relieability in magician
I dont get it, whats the cause of this?

I don't get what I'm being asked to do here

I'm unfamiliar with using man cat > mediumFile and man bash > largeFile to create files..

Does anyone understand what's being asked here?

chmod 777 is bad advice really.
you could as well tell them to run sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root

Yes, you are asking the system to "read" you the man page for cat/bash, but instead of outputting it to stuot/terminal it is being "piped" into a text file called mediumFile/LargeFile.

Well that could work, how ever it would be insure as hell. I would suggest sudo clown -Rh $Username /path/to/home which applies the appropriate permissions so that only the user and root can access the location.

mp3 sucks ass, it's grossly inefficient, can't reach transparency on some records even at 320, and patent encumbered.
why in hell do you want to convert to it? just save the audio tracks as is.

and yes, youtube-dl is the way to go. study source if needed, it's in python, so it's walk in the park.

good luck with collisions. unix timestamps are 1ms precision, and of course more than one file could get one timestamp.

Connect to a network to access server resources or connect to devices on that network.

of course

they don't.
software problems are solved by wiping it completely and writing fresh firmware image.
every one who insists on the opposite is a scammer who wants to get your private data.

there's probably a better script, but this is one I've been using (it's meant to read filenames from stdin)

while read input; do unixTime=$(stat -c %Y "$input")$[RANDOM % 9]$[RANDOM % 9]$[RANDOM % 9] ext="${input##*.}" mv "$input" "$unixTime.$ext"done

chmod 777 is just to get you out of trouble quick, then you go through and manually set everything back to what it should be

So the casing arrived.
Long story short, simply attempting to boot from USB has not worked.

I tried letting Windows attempt to repair itself, both with and without my help. No dice, gets caught in an infinite loop of system restore, or otherwise eventually defaults to BCD error page.

Tried manually rebuilding BCD, no dice.

Tried adding Windows to GRUB like I did in my last successful dual boot, same BCD error page.

Decided eventually to wipe the drive (diskpart -> clean ) then try to install to USB.

My next thought it is to reinstall to a HD, use the Windows to Go feature to install a live, bootable version with desired games, then wipe the first harddrive and return it a much more dignified position of being nothing but storage.

Anyone have suggestions for alternative routes?


Any chance you could give me a semi-detailed run down of what you did? I have very little VM knowledge, ie guest/host interaction.

Hello. I got the following problem:


What is happening here? Thanks in advance

Also, if I restart the PC, the problem stills with the laptop and USB keyboards. The problem only stops when I reformat but if I use the embedded keyboard, the problem is "re-triggered" and the usb keyboard stops working correctly again

Install in a VM, plugging USB stick directly to VM as harddrive and using it as the target. Read manuals for your virtualization software if you don't know how to do this.

My grandma's windoes 8.1 isn't recognizing any USB devices. But in the device manager, the flash drive shows up under "other devices". I cant find shit on google that actually works.

Yes
No

Use LVM on LUKS

chown -R username homedir

But the problem was with the owner, not the file permissions.

anyone ever use pic related? is it a good idea to update the GPU firmware?

But at that point it's a wash.

Well, too late for that.

So Holla Forums I'm at a bit of a loss here, I have a win10 laptop with 16 gigs of ram, and on startup it using about 60-70 percent of that, this isn't normal right? I've scanned with malwarebytes and nothing turned up, and I've disabled a lot of startup programs that I don't want on and I've gone into task manager and looked at everything running and nothing should be hogging all that ram, so what do you guys think is the deal?

Hey,

I have an external blu-ray drive. It worked like a charm for 2 years, but recently it started to act weird. No matter what 2 USB-holes I plug it into, it acts like it doesn't recieve enough electricity. I tried an USB-hub too, but it takes hours to find the right configuration.

My questions are:
1. Is it possible that my laptop, which is 7 years old now, has slowly becoming so useless that the USB-ports it has can't gather enough energy?
2. How do I know that out of the 4 ports, which are the ones that work best? Single USB-devices, like my external drive work smooth and flawless.
3. Is it possible to plug the USB with the thicker cable into the laptop's USB-port, while the thinner cable is plugged into a USB-hub and that's plugged into a smartphone-charger that has a USB-port on it and that goes into a regular electrical socket in the wall? Would that give it enough energy?

Thanks

Anything is possible when it comes technonolgy
There may be some software that can test vultage draw by certain ports.
3. Is it possible to plug the USB with the thicker cable into the laptop's USB-port, while the thinner cable is plugged into a USB-hub and that's plugged into a smartphone-charger that has a USB-port on it and that goes into a regular electrical socket in the wall? Would that give it enough energy?
That sounds like a good way to how have nearly zero current due to the two DC converters. However it could work, mabye should should try it with just the USB smartphone charger instead.

Is Hibernation/fast boot enabled? If so that may be the cause of it.
The only way to shure is no nuke and pave. Upgrading Windows 7 in it's place should solve the issue.

I had fast boot on, so hopefully that fixes. I've been meaning to nuke it and install 7 but I'm just too lazy.

How do I install flash for CyberFox?

What are some good test images so i can try out an image encoder?
I figured that with nothing to do i'd compile the newest GIT build of mozjpeg and try it against the stable 3.1 one, there's been a lot of commits since then but they stopped and haven't released a new stable version.

hey it did fix it thanks user.

What the fuck is this shit?
I was looking at my audio mixer and I have this "tv tray notification" shit in my audio mixer.
What is this shit.
I tried running a scan with malwarebytes, but no threats were detected.

Could it be part of your soundcard drivers/preinstalled bloat?


Were you using an IME like iBus? Did you try restarting it? I had an issue with keys fucking up with iBus on Mint before.

I recently downloaded Teeworlds and tried to play it with my 4k monitor. After restarting the game with a 1080p resolution, the whole GUI for my computer went permanently to shit. I tried rebooting my computer several times, but it keeps resuming last time's session (I hate this feature). How do I give my machine a fresh restart?

sudo init 1 didn't do the job either.

Also, sudo poweroff -f doesn't work either, to my heart's discontent.

This is one of the few features of Jewdows I actually envy right now--a fresh restart every time you reboot.

My audio isn't working and all these fucking guides on youtube tell me to purge a lot of packets including

linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r`

But the problem is that these packets are not found, as my uname -r equals to 4.4.0-63-generic

what do? apt doesn't even support my fucking kernel

I know NTFS had to be reverse engineered as fuck to get it to work, but I still need something for my Win7 VM to play with. (Permanently moved with OpenSuse\KDE as the start.) How likely is the chance of data corruption using NTFS on Linux right now?

My home directory contains, in addition to the usual folders (documents, pictures, etc), these annoying files. Note that I am not showing hidden files. I'd like to clean things up, but I'm afraid that I'd fuck up my wine install.

Any suggestions on how to get wine to store this shit in a different folder or something?

Hey Holla Forums
Got a frustrating issue that i cannot seem to solve. Purchased Dead Space through Steam a long while back. Recently i decided to actually play it only to find out it would not launch.

In the steam interface it will stay 'Running' for a second or 2 and then it returns to normal.

When i try to launch the .exe directly from the folder i get the dreaded: "Application was unable to launch correctly 0xc00007b." error message.

Some technical info:

Windows 7 x64
SAPPHIRE RADEON RX480 8GB
Mboard: ASROCK Z170 EXTREME4+
INTEL CORE I5-6400 2.70GHZ
*Put what i thought was relevant. If more info is needed let me know. Windows is installed on an SSD and steamfolder on a seperate HD.

Troubleshooting I have done:

- Reinstalled Dead Space multiple times

- Added the settings.txt to my user/appdata/Electronic Arts/Dead Space folder
*The path did not exist but i took the advice and created it manually. I should mention i run Windows from an SSD and my steamfolder is ran from a different drive

- Disabled all the HID compliant controllers

- Installed Visual C++ from all capable years

- Manually (re)installed all required .dll's to both system32 and syswow64

- Installed directx from the dead space directory folder

- Made the deadspace.exe run as admin with all available compatibility combinations

- Ran chckdsk and sfc /scannow which came out clean.

- Probably forgetting some

Tried a ton of the '0x00007b fix 100%' videos but it seems like either my runtimes are fucked or there is some incompatibility going on. In any case, what can i further do?

*I also want to note that i do not seem to have issues with any other game apart from this one. As far as i know.

I got new tracking device and since cyanogenmod is kill. What room do you guys recommend?

what firefox based browser if Im tired of freezing from palemoon?

A padded one obviously. Seriously thought it depends entirely on your device, also archive.org has a copy of Cyanogenmod files in their device names.

Either CyberFox (Windows) or the one that GNU endorses.

how is the Waterfox?

I looked on archive.org, it says it didn't archive that page. I got Nexus 6p, to be honest I just want it to be a clean room and some minor improvements like soft reboot and build in root acces.

Is the situation in the embed real, if so how is that the case?. I would have thought that creating a checksum would be a read only operation unless told to export the result(s) to a file.

I don't remember using it much, so I can't really
comment on it.

some of the results in searx.me/?q=Application was unable to launch correctly 0xc00007b&categories=general , may help however I assume that you have done most of them. Have you installer a more update version of Direct X?

searx.me/?q=Cyanogenmod Archive&categories=general

If it helps, I've been using NTFS for half a year now with no issues. I have no idea what any statistics might say about it. I could be lucky. That said, any time Windows asks to scan a drive, I always tell it no. Windows always fucks shit up in my experience, even things that Windows formatted itself. I've yet to have Windows ask to scan an NTFS drive though. Only my boot disk :^) and some shitty Chinese flash drives that work fine with Linux.


While fishy, I'd assume it could theoretically require the creation of a temporary file, depending on how well it is programmed, the size of the file, and how much RAM you have. Or it could be requesting permission it doesn't need due to bad programming and Windows just denies even opening the file. Doesn't Windows have its own tool for this, though? Not that it would necessarily work any better, just saying.


Is it possible you installed them (the Visual C++ packages) in the wrong order? I don't remember which Windows run-time packages are stand-alone and which ones stack. Just thought I'd put that out there, since I recently decided to grab all of them from Microsoft and back them up, and I had to read all their documents on which ones are needed for what Windows version, and which ones are stand-alone or not.

How the fuck do I disable Firefox Sync's requirement to open my fucking email account to confirm the sync?
I clean my browser data regularly so this is really fucking frustrating because reconnecting to sync means opening my mail and clicking on that stupid link every time.
I don't care about the security threats regarding strangers knowing my bookmarks

And yes BTW I looked it up and I can't find anything regarding this.

The problem managed to resolve itself somewhat after I repeatedly did commands like
sudo init 1
followed by a bunch of killall commands, as applied to Xorg and other things, followed by sudo poweroff -f
...and then rebooting with my ethernet cable disconnected (not sure the last condition really affected anything, but I felt I should've included it).

I've also read (finally, through many angry Jewgle searches) that the problem might be more elegantly addressed through removing the .config and .gconfig folders.

Recommendations for lubricant for Keyboard switches?

I use silicone spray for my cherry mx switches. It lasts for several months.

Windows 10

As someone who has spent a lot of time trying to get away from windows:

... unless you're trying to play libre games, you're better off dualbooting whatever district you prefer with a dedicated Windows installation for gaming.

I tried doing this and had the install work successfully, but couldn't get the .vmdk to boot, even after some hefty troubleshooting. My Linux installation is UEFI and my computer is configured to run Win8 out of box. Was yours? Curious to why it worked for you but not for me.

But thankfully I finally ended up succeeding! I used my Memepad and WinToUSB to install windows 8 to a an external HDD. imagine my fucking joy after it booted - understand that I have literally been trying to get a working balance between my fondness of a Linux daily driver with my laptop's refusal to let me play vidya. Now I have an easy and convenient way to play my vidya, without having to subject my Linux slices to filthy NTFS botnet.

sadly cloning Win7 from the memepad didn't work

Two questions about playing Nethack on a Linux xterm:
1) When I accidentally press "!" (shift-1) in the game's main screen, the game vanishes like I backgrounded it with control-z, except even though it's still running and new instances of Nethack notice it, I can't use job control commands (fg, bg, jobs) to reconnect to it or whatever. All I can do is kill the process and recover my save. What's going on?

2) Is there any way to use meta-keys under modern Linux for CLI Nethack? No configuration of Nethack or any terminal program's 8-bit input options I've tried seems to work.

Hate to be so Holla Forums, but this seems like the sort of thing Holla Forums might know, and might have more to do with Unix than Nethack itself for all I know.


You'll need software to either fake XInput or fake a different type of DirectInput controller. I use XBCE for the former and XInput+ for the latter:
pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Controller#XInput_wrappers

Is there a good TTS software that is available for download? I would like something able to read PDFs as well. Thanks!

Dual booting is one of the most stupid things, especially for gaming. The process of switching between Linux and Windows is too annoying and time consuming.

Hi Holla Forums. I'm trying to create and launch a simple website as a hobby to learn html/CSS and so forth, and I was wondering if any of you had any recommendations on free and secure web hosts and CDNs. I don't need anything fancy, just some place to stick a few gigs or less of images and link to them in the source docs. I looked at cloudflare, but their tos includes random penis inspection. Also I made a 000webhost account, is that place any good for hosting the actual domain, or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks.

Yeah, that's why I ended up just getting Win 8 to boot from an external hard drive. Much, much better than dual booting.

search [phone model] device codename
then seach [device codename] ROM
pick one, then follow instructions.
First is to install custom recovery, ie TWRP, then flash ROM of your choice. If you have a decent/popular phone, there will be heaps of choice.


I keep getting ID'd on twitter and banned. I have a dynamic IP, I delete cookies/app data.

go to Gab.ai instead.

Depending on what games you want to play, you may have no choice but to dual boot. You can check the wine compatibility database to see what PC games do/don't run, and check if there are Linux releases of games, but as far as Wine goes, sometimes shit still doesn't work right even if someone else got it working.

As for user-friendly, the common recommendation is an Ubuntu derivative. Usually Linux Mint, which comes with support for non-free shit out the box, so everything just werks. NTFS, multimedia codecs, drivers, all taken care of.

Linux Mint works well for me and my family, but I've definitely noticed some problems with the Cinnamon variety. That said, I haven't tried to customize it much, and I haven't been using 18.1 much yet, my main computer is still on 18.

Cinnamon (the desktop environment) crashes a lot, and every now and then the file manager crashes and I have to restart it to get my desktop to show back up.

The repo doesn't have a lot of vidya software. It's got retroarch and a lot of libretro cores (but not all of them), Wine and supporting software like PlayOnLinux, DOSBox, and a small amount of stand-alone emulators. You'll have to add repos or download a lot of shit yourself. And a lot of software, like uncommon rom/iso patchers, hacking software, or Nintendo 3DS utilities, don't have source code and are Windows-only. Some of it doesn't run in Wine. The main repo's VirtualBox is old last I checked, which caused me problems when setting it up. Basically they only have the most common shit, it's not all up-to-date, and they sometimes rename packages because they're retarded, but it's not a big deal since you'll be able to get whatever you're looking for elsewhere. But for vidya shit you'll probably want a Windows installation to run stuff on.

Even though the stability is somewhere between Windows XP and Windows 7, I'd still say I like it better than Windows.

But my point is if you start with Linux Mint or some other Ubuntu-like, you'll probably learn shit along the way and graduate to something more stable and heavily-supported. You'll probably want to keep Windows around for some things, but you'll also be surprised by how little you need or want to use it.

It looks like you unpacked the winetricks package directly into your home directory. Some of those are files that you only get inside the .deb file and don't store permanently outside one, and others are supposed to be in other places in the filesystem. It should be safe to remove them.

Original retard, chmod 777 has been working, not sure if it's just a band aid fix or what but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Thanks anons

I need to create a facebook account to partipate in local tournaments for this game I like.

What's a good barebones browser that,s privacy orientated to use so I can isolate my facebook usage to one browser to minimize tracking and shit? I already use firefox with ublock origin, noscript, and self destructing cookies for my general browsing, but don't want to even mix using facebook into that. Is there a browser with the same level of privacy as firefox with those installed?

What does the "src" in stand for?

It stands for "Secret" because you aren't supposed to know about it, fag

I could in theory use Powershell to do it, if I so desired and found the motivation to understand the commands.

Mabye setting up a local server may help?

What would be stoping you from picking a fork (I.e. Waterfox/Cyberfox/PaleMoon/etc) at setting it up as the same? Your config file should be able port over just fine.

Nothing, I guess, except for the fact that I don't into stuff like this that much. Which of the 3 you mentioned would you recommend?

Hey Holla Forums I don't know much about monitors but I'm in the progress of overclocking mine.
Do you guys know the relevance of pulse sync width and front porch on a modern LCD screen or can you point me somewhere I can learn it?

I don't, but what kind of gainz are we looking at?

So far I got my 60hz monitor to 77hz. A 28% improvement.

Well I am currently using PaleMoon`s portable version exclusively when on my Windows partition with NoScript being the only Extension in common.

I have this goal, and need help getting started:

Go from the sticks and stones of computers to the sci-fi Spock shit.


How do I begin? What do I read? What software do I use? What set up? I'll be getting Qubes OS soon, have to go pick up a 64gb USB flashdrive first. Where and how and what do I begin with to learn hardware, software, interfacing the two, useful background history and outmoded design structures/architecture, etc etc AND etcetera.

[A remark on my dedication and likelihood of productivity, to decide if you want to effort post or something]:

Some of that information just really isn't out there or in a way anyone can efficiently find and learn, you'll have to go to school fam.

Also posted in Thinkpad thread, covering bases:

I'm trying to install Arch on my Memepad T410, and I can't get any further than attempting to set internet up.

It's got an ethernet cable plugged in at the moment but can't even ping the router.

I have tried everything I know how to do to manually set this thing up, to no avail:

- ifconfig

- ip link

- restarting DHCP after changing /etc/dhcpcd.conf to clientID

- manually confirming, turning on, removing, reinstalling the driver - correct e1000e driver is built into kernel and active on boot.

I can't figure it out and would really like to get further. I've been looking online and none of the solutions I am finding are working in my situation.

Wondering if anyone here has run into this problem while marrying the two memes, if anyone has suggestions, I'd be much obliged.

I have heard this is an issue with dual booting Arch and Windows 7,

Are you sure the Ethernet cable is good? Tested OK?

Are you sure the network interface is good? Works on another OS/distro?

Have you tried (re)starting systemd-networkd? What does systemctl status systemd-networkd show, or what do you see in journalctl for it?

I want to reinstall Linux Mint but save my /home partition. How do I go about it?

Do I just not format it in the next install? What about when installer comes to ask for creation of new user?

Should I purchase myself an external drive with a few TB or an internal HDD with a few TB, alongside an enclosure to protect it & some cables?
I need the cables mind you, of course SATA ro USB 2/3 both work, 2.0 may be best. Anyways regarding the HDD's I would save anywhere from 15-30$ if I purchased an enclosure alongside a multiple TB HDD but I can just by an external for only somewhat more cash. I need it for storage of course, what external HDD brand is even good to go for anyways?

I have a drive dock with 2 bays specifically for this reason. They're quite affordable these days.

Would it be unsafe or stupid to install an old linux distro for an old computer? Or should I just be using something light like Puppy Linux?


Because I'm bored and depressed and I took home a few old computers at my office dating from 1998 to 2004

Should I download Xcode for os x?
I wanted learn haskell, but I can't install ghc without Xcode.
Also, I wanted to upgrade my IceCat to the newest version. I could wait for the newest build, but I thought I should try it.
Unfortunately, want me to use Xcode to install that too. I remember running into the same problem learning scheme, although I ended up finding a solution that didn't involve Xcode.
Part of me thinks that I should, because I'm already on os x which isn't free, and I don't see why apple would spy on users through Xcode instead of the os itself.

Cable works fine if plugged into my adjacent Linux box. Haven't booted the Win 7 installation since loading archiso but it worked fine beforehand.

Have tried DHCPCD but not networkd. Will try when home.

install gentoo
and lay off the adderall

If by "old linux distro" you mean not receiving security updates anymore, and you plan to connect it to the internet, yes, that would be unsafe and stupid. If you're not going to be connecting it to the internet, it doesn't matter.

Try an up-to-date lightweight distro like Tiny Core Linux.

Alternatively, you could try other OSes, like Plan9 or MenuetOS.

What are some good email apps for android?
Preferably ones that allow for multiple emails and won't spy on my shit.

XCode is just the standard *N*X dev tools with a bunch of glossy Apple frontends included, you honestly should've installed it day 1. Also, install Apple's X11 server.

Just buy the separate enclosure and drive. Lots of external HDs are bottom of the bin power saving garbage so you'll get better performance and might even last longer.

K9 Mail

Not really shure about the first but I can confim the viablity of this. I had a sealed 1 TB Segate unit die on me (took ~300 GB of data that I cared about at the time) within about two years while the repurosed 2.5 internal from a (around five years at least) daily used ex-business CoreDuo laptop is still going strong in a cheap,easy to acess enclosure as yet another data store.


Yes that is how it should work
It just creates a new folder with the chosen name at the same place with them being separate (unless stuff is moved manually). Some times you can skip creation of a new user during install or just use the old one but just updating the password (simply provided the same username and it should automatically pickup that a sub home directory already exists).

How hard is it to install libreboot? I'm an x60T and I'm NOT tech savvy

Hey Holla Forums
How would I go about learning how to extract data from a proprietary archive? I want to get the CGs from an old VN from '99.

I'm writing tic-tac-toe and all I have left is to implement the function that checks for a win. The problem is that my professor specified that it should only check for a win in a location possible for a win after the last player put his last mark. For example if the last mark places was at (row 1, column 1)(top-left), the function shouldn't check to see the bottom row for a horizontal victory.

This forces me to do "if this is at row 1... if this is at column 1 in row 1 ... if this is at columns 2 in row 1 .. if this is at column 3 in row 1... if this is at row 2... if this is at columns 1 in row 2..." etc instead of looping though all possibilities

Is there a non-csgrad.jpg way to do this? Ignore the if(thePlayer == PLAYER_X) at the top, I'm going to erase that since there's no point of it. There's no point of knowing the player at all in this function, but the assignment requires that I write the function with those parameters.

Why not have parameterized functions?

CheckColWin(c), CheckRowWin(r), and another, CheckDiagWin(d) which you only call if c==r.

Shorting the function names, your win logic is something like:
ColWin(c) || RowWin(r) || (c==r && DiagWin(c,r))

for DiagWin, you could supply both c,r to see if you need to check both directions, or just one of them.

Actually remove the c==r && part, and just handle that inside DiagWin, cleaner.

I'm all for that, but I don't know if he'll approve since this assignment tells us what functions to make, their signature, return type, and their duties. Basically like "This class will have X function which will ..." so I don't know if he'll like it with me going my own way and doing what I'd rather want. I think I'm just screwed and will have to write like 8 or so more if blocks for each little cell and the diagonals. I don't think there's any way to avoid looking like csgrad.jpg. My problem isn't that I can't do the assignment, I'm just trying to find a very fucking clever way of doing this the way he wants it without writing 100 lines in a single function, but I don't think it's possible with the "check only possible locations of win"

Thanks for the help.

Sounds like your prof is specifying the public interface your class must have (reasonable), you should be able to do whatever you want in private functions though.

Is a raspberry pi a good platform for using to write my first OS? Will I be able to get video out with it? It's just an old arm cpu righ?

How does force recheck work in bittorrent clients? I use qbittorrent and if a torrent errors at 50%, i force recheck it and it will stay at 50% until after a few rechecks where it continues(that happens mostly, sometimes it takes a whole hour of force rechecking for it to progress). This happens to me with about 10 torrents already.

Am I doing it right? Just spam force recheck until it goes alright? I tried deluge to and it does the same thing with force recheck, just stays at the same percentage and does nothing.

Is there a userscript plugin that works on current version of Palemoon?

I noticed that when I play old games (say, Alpha Centauri) in WINE it saturates one of my cores, making the cpu run at turbo frequencies. I made a script that toggles the max cpu frequency between 800MHz and 2.9GHz. I want to run it with a keyboard shortcut, but it requires root privileges. Is suid root the correct way to go about this?

Raspberry Pi is not an ARM board, it's a VC4 board with an ARM co-processor. All initialization is done on the videocore4 gpu, after which the raspi pretends to be an ARM board.

Stupidly drop my phone now I e gone to get it back, the man at the stOre said the my SIM card and screen are fine it's the just the board inside which has been broke . Aprrently all my contacts and previous message history have now been deleted, is this true while I not be able to regain any of it ?

Any one has an idea of any simple opensource app or algo implemented in c/c++ or python that I can fork and experiment with parallel programming concepts?

So recently my GPU died and I ordered a new AMD RX 470, after installing it everything I did was painfully slow on my computer but after a day it was back to normal.

Depends on the phone. If your phone has an SD/microSD slot, then your files are there, obviously. If not, then it's just a matter of what kinds of storage the phone uses. I'll assume somewhere on the board is an eMMC. Which is where all the shit that makes your phone run is. If there is a microSD also, then that is where your personal file storage would be. If not, then it's all on the eMMC, and you would require professional help to remove it without also damaging it. If you wanted system files or anything that'd only show up in a "rooted" file browser, it's likely on the eMMC.

If you have the broken phone still, I'd open that shit up and at least take a look. You might get lucky. If it's eMMC only but it's that important to you, consider looking for a good data recovery place to do it for you, and expect a hefty fee.

I have personally only dealt with 2.5 ensloures up to this point, so I can't really make a recommendation, however this a quick search searx.me/?q=3.5 Drive enclouser&categories=general . Also some times enclosures that come with drives already included may be sealed,however this should be unlikely seeing as there wouldn't be any point to do so at least in the name of "simplicity" unlike 2.5.. Also as another point of reference, the old laptop`s HDD was a 320GB Blue Segate.

I may have some torrent hashes to Windows 7(the last recent good windows).iso`s that I used before in projects that may have hyperthetically matched the sha1sums available on the install gentoo wiki page. If I can find at least one of them, I`l post them.
However I agree with use a GNU/Linux distro to access the drive a copy stuff over and then reinstall Windows. Also dpending on the version of Windows you may be able to refesh it back to "a good as new state" however I would suggest doing a manual reinstall as it is hypthertically possible that malware may have changed it.

I don't know about Windows 8 or higher, but if you want Windows 7, there's this:

wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Windows_7

And I can confirm the 64-bit Ultimate iso here is good (has the correct hash, check it yourself).

I've googled this problem endlessly, and I haven't found any solution (or even people that I can confirm are experiencing the same thing) so you're my last hope.

Basically what happens is that with certain DirectX 11 games, when I start them in full-screen mode, I lose the signal from my monitor. The only thing that "fixes" it is power cycling my monitor, but tabbing out and then back in will cause the problem to reappear again. This has persisted across two monitors, so I'm sure it's my GPU (an aging 670), but I have no idea why it only happens with DX11 games (swapping to a DX9 renderer within the same game if applicable will make the issue go away), and not all DX11 games either.

I'm trying to install slackware from a usb stick, but immediately after boot it automatically unmounts. I tried getting around this by making a temporary directory, mounting the usb there and trying to install from that & installing the packages from one of the mirrors but in both cases that packages failed to install. Is there anyway to fix this?

It's hard.

Consider one with a fan built in, but no particular recommendation. Check the reviews on amazon or wherever.

Maybe those games are defaulting to an unsupported refresh rate or resolution?

Do you comment header files as you would the implementation file? In essence, does a header file have the same comments the implementation file would have such as
/**

I'm not sure, since it definitely happens when shit's set to 1920x1080 @ 60hz which is my monitor's native resolution and refresh rate.

How the fuck do I install a SCSI cd-rom?

The card seems to work and the cable also seems to work (misconfigured terminator setting locks up the drive), and the drive works through the 4pin audio cable with audio cds, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to install the drivers.

The SCSI card works automatically under Win2000 and XP. Trying to update the driver from the manufacturer's site is useless, since it's the same driver.

Pin and jumper settings. All SCSI terminator resistors in the card are set to on. Perhaps I should have set the SCSI ID to 6 rather than 7...

Yeah, I have almost no fucking clue what I'm doing.

I'm told this shit should work automatically, but it seems to not work.
I activated and deactivated boot shits and even set my boot order to SCSI first and tried a bootable disk but it says it can't find anything bootable on SCSI.

I'm all out of ideas.

Windows driver stuffs. Card ok. But I don't know how the drive should appear, it doesn't appear along the other optical drives.

Btw, I'm pretty sure I tried setting the terminator jumper on the cd drive, and then trying to boot up with one of the pins from the 50 pin connector terminators removed, but it locked the drive up...

wait, I think I fucked up the jumper settings...
I'll try some stuff and hope the thread is still alive in a few days

How exactly would I release some software to you guys, but also use it on a personal website for trying to get a job, without getting doxxed by some faggot?

Out of curiosity I look at the code of the resampler core of the sample based MIDI player Timidity++.
I find that it permits in fact to select one of several available resamplers, one of which is Gaussian. The resamplers are applied in real-time and they are compromises of quality and CPU.
Looking at Gauss specifically, it shows that the input is convolved with a kernel which is precomputed and stored in a set of tables. What I don't understand, is why prefer at all to use a Gaussian rather than a windowed sinc kernel, a close approximation of the theoretical optimal function? I don't understand the point, and if someone is versed in this math I'm curious to know.

Keep all your internet presence under pseudonym, and link your site/git on your CV that the company only will see?
I have the same dilemma applying to me, but I already have some programming work under an account of my real name. I do all the new stuff under the pseudonym.

I just worry about some HR tumblrina seeing my shit on "gas the kikes race war now"chan, hell even 4chan would probably get me passed over. The problem is I would like to attach the website to a linkedin page, I highly doubt a HR drone would go to a resume, but they might click a link.

What would give me better sound quality with 3.5mm headphones?

The front or back 3.5mm from the motherboard? I don't hear any interference from using the front audio port on the case. Sounds the pretty much the same as the back I/O port. Does it matter? What about if I use the headphone jack on my monitor that's connected via display port on my GPU? If I end up using the port on the case/motherboard, I would need to use an extension cord if that matters also. Same shit quality? Are sound cards still a thing? I'm not an audiophile or anything. I just want the best sound quality when I play spooky games at night.

Your options all sound (lel) about the same. Look for an external DAC if you want to get more serious or if you already have an ok quality amp run HDMI to it.

How can I install the display driver for my RX 460 on windows 8.1? it doesn't install with the catalyst thing even when i select windows 8.1...
Fuck anyone that tells me to upgrade to windows 10, that's not happening; i'd rather live with fucking 128MB video memory than that privacy invading shit

They don't make driver for windows 8. You need to upgrade to windows 10

welp im living with 128mb

Would it be a good learning experience to install Gentoo along Debian to get comfortable using it and setting it up before fully committing? Or must everything be done on installation?


Also, how hard IS librebooting, be honest

also does it swipe all existing files/directories?

it's just entering a few commands, ez pz

I see it DOES wipe al files and the OS, makes sense. Can someone link me the whitelisted wifi cards compatible with an x60? I know I've seen it before

You can upgrade to Windows 7 (the last good version still supported, at least on paper) which still supports your GPU. As a added benefit you will get a much saner UI and less unwanted stuff to remove/disable that will not just suddenly come back/re-enable in the next update.

Try these drivers,

Hey guys, I'm going to use my old AMD parts shown here for a linux box.

What distro should I use for a person coming from Windows? I was looking at Linux Mint, but may go with PCLinuxOS instead.

So I've got about 50,000 family photos on my laptop. Is there any way I can hash all the files and compare duplicates?

you could make a hash of each image and then check for duplicates.

Posting here is my last resort, if a real solution exists one of you plebs might know it.

I have 3 monitors, two shitty 1080p monitors, and one 2560x1440 monitor that runs at 144hz, i have a ps4 also hooked up to the nice one (i know scaling and all that shit but it still looks better on that than the shitty ones) whenever i switch inputs on the nice monitor from my computer to my ps4, it thinks that monitor is disconnected and messes up all my windows and whatnot which is a pain because i still want to use them while i play ps4. is there any way to keep my shit where it is when i switch inputs?

i have a GTX 980
the monitor is a pixio px277
any adapters to another connector format wont work because none of them support my resolution/framerate

fdupes

Mint or Ubuntu are common so would be easiest to start with. Can always switch to something else later.

I'm having problems installing a driver.
So my problem is that I have a new PC and I can't get the video driver installed because the display won't, you know, display, without the driver... I have an adapter to connect the hard drive to my laptop via USB so is there a way I can install the Windows 7 Ultimate ISO I have on the Hard Drive while on my laptop and throw the display driver somewhere (where would I throw it after Windows is installed?)

Start in VGA or Safe mode and install the driver. Reboot.

No VGA, sadly...

Trying to dual boot Windows from a USB (my family owns an ancient printer that is only compatible with Windows, trust me I've tried adding Ubuntu & Debian repositories it's hopeless).


Anyhow, I'm having a lot of trouble getting my torrented ISO archive to work with both Rufus and UNetBootin. No luck with either.


I've installed Debian and Ubuntu many times and have never had this much difficulty. I'm even on a Windows machine right now because it was neigh impossible to create a bootable windows drive in Linux for me.

Trying to get this done today so any help would be great.

Can't find an answer to this anywhere no matter how I phrase it so I'll ask here. I found a dirt cheap X201 motherboard on my countries Ebay clone and want to try fitting it into my X200, however it has a BIOS password, I intend to flash it with Coreboot, I assume that I'll be able to do this even if there's a BIOS password?

I'm trying to build bomi video player on Fedora (because the repo they provide is broken), and I'm going through installing the dependencies one by one. I can't figure out how to resolve the dependencies for "smbclient" or "qmake". I've installed just about every samba package from the fedora repos.

I have basically no experience in manually building stuff so help would be greatly appreciated.

My Samsung Android phone just reset all it's software settings to default.

1) I put it on charging
2) Some time later I look at it and there's that Samsung screen like something's going on (reseting or whatever)
3) After I manage to turn it on, it's on 100%
4) All apps are reset (whatsapp doesn't remember my profile and asks for activation by sms), the home screen is missing half the stuff, stuff I disabled is back enabled (as if all apps forgot everything)
5) Data is still on the phone (whatsapp found a backup). It appears that only general settings and app settings (?) went to default.

What do? Anyone knows what this could be?

So ive tried everything i could to try to figure out what is wrong i seem to narrow it down to dead gpu or dead pci slots
Pc starts up without gpu plugged in cant tell any further then that since my mobo does not have integrated video. It was in the 16x slot close to the cpu, tried the 4x slot computer still won't turn on with gpu plugged in.
Which leads me to believe its the gpu cause ive never used the 4x slot ever
I do not have access to any spare parts atm or any time soon and have only 200 dollars to spend which would go towards a 1060 if it is the gpu from a 770

If it is the case of the gpu which 1060 should i get

HOW BAD IS JAVASCRIPT

Can stuff be injected into my PC through js?
How bad is it?

pretty bad

Can anyone explain?
"It's bad" isn't exactly why I came to Holla Forums, I could have gone to Holla Forums for that.

Did you plug in the 8 + 6 pin power cables to the GPU? Is your power supply 600+ W? You should really try to find a cheap GPU you know is good to test with because if you spend all your money on another GPU but your PCI slots are bad it's a waste.

Do sudo dnf builddep

Your question isn't phrased very well. "How bad" is it to walk through the bad part of town alone and at night?
Without looking at any numbers, I'd guess about 90% of remote attacks in the past year against web browsers in general require Javascript be enabled. If your goal is to collect viruses then Javascript is a good thing.

But if I'm on linux, there are no viruses.

I asked specific questions but no one ever answers them,

How bad is it for spyware? Is it possible to inject crap into my linux through js?

etc.

Linux is not immune. This attack uses poisoned media files but Javascript makes other attacks possible on Linux as well.
arstechnica.com/security/2016/11/elegant-0day-unicorn-underscores-serious-concerns-about-linux-security/

That said, most spyware writers are going to target Windows and Apple users because that is 90% of the people browsing so Linux is safer by obscurity.

I'm using the .jar of OSBuddy to play *Runescape**. Whenever I open it there is a window alongside it called "JavaEmbeddedFrame". How can I make this go away? I'm using GNOME 3.18.

Yes everything was connected again dont have access to any spare parts and dont have anywhere i can get a cheap used gpu
Everything in the pc was all fine for 3 years literally just kicking back waiting for poe to finish downloading and it all shuts down and doesn't turn back on when the gpu is plugged in

Will the "WD Black 256GB Performance SSD - 8 Gb/s M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive - WDS256G1X0C" work with my "ASRock H81M-HDS" on its PCIe x1 slot through some sort of riser or adapter?

How can you not have heard of NoScript by now?

M2 -> PCIe adapters exist but the smallest I can find is four-lane.

would an x1 to x4 riser make the SSD slower?

I'm pretty tech illiterate

4x slower. It's a PCIe 2.0 lane so it'd be 500 MB/s while the drive itself is capable of twice that. There are SATA SSDs that can hit 500MB/s so it'd be a waste of money, I think.

there are so many things going wrongthat I won't go into detail on specifics - I need to install a non-linux operating system because linux isn't compatible with my NIC. problem is my copy of xubuntu is screwed up in so many ways that I can't even do basic tasks like install gmount and mount the iso in pic related. What do I do? install new linux os and go from there? I'm on xubuntu right now. if I'm gonna install new linux os might as well try something quite different and hope the wifi capabilities are compatible with my NIC, which do you recommend to a retard like me?

Have you tried chrooting from a live enviroment, specifically one that has the package manager as your install? To do so boot up the live enviromement and mount your usual / (e.g. sudo mkdir /tmp/Root && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/Root/). Then run chroot (e.g. sudo chroot Root/), now hopefully you should be able to install your package. I would suggest Void (However I am biased as it is my main driver and personally rolling release >>>> "stable") as due to it being rolling release you can easily get the latest kernel which contains the networking stack. The .iso's on the website are a few months out of date and Voidmklive creates none functioning images, however it should install just fine. The TUI installer is started with sudo void-installer, it shouldn't be to hard follow. To update, simply ru sudo xbps-install -Su (Sync with the main repo and then update, add y to Su if you want updates to be automatically downloaded).

It is appreciated that you were able to ask in the right place without creating a thread first.

I was just pretending to be retarded! you can't even take a joke, hehe.

Just download it from microsoft and crack it yourself cunt.

What kind of fruit is that in your pic?
Also, see if there's a coin-shaped silver-colored battery in the motherboard. If there is remove it. Boot up the computer and see if there's still a password. That battery controls a bit of volatile memory which is where your BIOS save it's settings (and also the computer clock, which is why you can unplug a computer and have it remember the time). Without the battery it can't keep the settings and it will reset every time you reboot, so just put it back in if you want your configuration saved. If you look at the manual, there should also be a way to wipe the BIOS's settings with a jumper. Look for anything with "CMOS" in it's name on the manual.

Could anyone recommend a good alternative to DuckDuckGo?

oh fyi, my additions are bellow the pound line, just included the rest for reference. made slight modification to status_command, which isn't working. Also, desired color for status bar is border color in client.focused, but not color specified within color brackets.

believe me, if you're too lazy to read the man page and you're relying on aircrack + something like darkc0de to do it for you:

it won't work.

try making a file with admin & password and running that on an unedited wifi network (ie, one that still has the router name.) If nothing goes through, your odds of actually cracking the password using a list are slim to none.

Would I be better off buying a new motherboard and getting it later? I turned 18 a few months ago and might be getting welfare again for my autism so it might be worth the wait.

Do you already have the drive? This seems like a long way to go to get an SSD. A better motherboard is going to be at least $90 and another $25 for the adapter. It's not like SATA SSDs are slow.

I looked around for a good 2 hours on the supported motherboards list and found one that supported it as well as my other hardware (DDR3, mATX for the case, LGA 1150 socket for my CPU, pcie x1 for my wifi card) and just wanna know if you feel i should get it before I get the SSD. newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132120
Also, yes it is a long way to go for it but as you can see by this pic, I need a new mobo anyways.

Do you only have a single lane available on your current motherboard? Even if it's in use by something like your gpu, telling it to only use 8 instead of 16 for instance won't actually decrease your performance save for some edge cases where you might lose less than 1fps in a game.

I want to open a URL on a firefox fork manually via bash that causes the window to behave like that of "popout" window in that it has bookmarks and all other browser elements disabled specifically for that window.

For example popping out the chat of a livestream. I've been through the firefox documentation and I can't see any option for it. Searching through the HTML of popout buttons doesn't yield much either but then again I don't know much about HTML.

What is it about popout windows that lets the browser know what they are?

I fell for the Iridium meme, and I'm enjoying it a fair bit.

Only gripes I've got are:
I can't enable Flash Player to use to open .swf files in browser and some stream sites won't work. Checked their GitHub, and apparently it's disabled by default, but I can't find documentation to enable it.

Also, using StartPage, but I can't get my personal setting URL to work, as either a search engine or a home page. Every time I paste the settings URL into search engine or home page, it gives me a generic page. Really annoying when I'm looking for NSFW shit and I have to remove the safe search every time.

Joke's on you, I was being retarded too! You can't take a retards sperg.

I have 1 PCIe x16 used by my GTX 970, and a PCIe x16 slot used by my wifi card. I could use a very slow USB wifi card but this seems like a fair upgrade. This motherboard can house my very fast SSD and my 970 and wifi card as well as leave me with 2 extra PCIe x1 slots for whatever extra thing that I might need such as a sound card.

The SSD is for faster loading on games like ARK:SE and extra stuff like construct 2 and sony vegas

i woke up after passing out from whiskey, and noticed my laptop battery now had a maximum capacity of 76% where it'd stop charging (presumably to protect the battery itself for some reason).

i've left it more or less alone, but as time has gone on the battery has recovered percentages incrementally until i'm not back up to 92%.

what's happening and is it going to explode or some shit once it gets back up to 100%?

the laptop is routinely off the charger and as such runs completely out of power a lot.

The battery hasn't "recovered" anything, your % gauge has just adjusted itself a little bit. What you need to do is an operation called a "battery gauge reset". Over time the battery will permanently and irreversibly lose overall capacity. 100% today is really 70% of what it was 2 years ago. I had a battery for 6 years and 100% charge was really like 40%.

The battery gauge is supposed to tell you how much of your total capacity is charged, not how much of your ORIGINAL total capacity is charged.

i'm really surprised that it'd correct itself to its new maximum capacity like that but i believe it, thanks

But bomi isn't in a working repository, I'm trying it run configure in the downloaded source. I'm using dnf to manually install the dependencies, but not bomi itself.

If someone could direct me to which packages would resolve these dependencies (smbclient and qmake) I would appreciate it.

You sure you have been installing the devel packages? You are also sure you have tried to install all the devel packages for the packages listed at github.com/xylosper/bomi

I've been installing the ones that show up in the check when I run configure (including devel packages).

On the github list, some of the packages don't show up in a dnf search, like pkg-config or g++ (I installed clang instead). I'm using Yum Extender.

I resolved the qmake dependency by installing devel packages for qt5. The configuration now says it's successful, but is it a problem that it still shows a negative for 'smbclient'?

Do you need smb for your uses?

Well it works but it's janky and not perfect, hence the special battery gauge reset procedure. Iffy battery % readings are the reason old laptops used to go from 20% charge to 3% charge in 30 seconds. It's not that you suddenly lost 17% of juice -- it's that the meter wasn't calibrated right.

I'm trying to compile a gtk+3 example application available here: git.gnome.org/browse/gtk /tree/examples/application9
My problem is that I don't know whether to make a Makefile out of the existing Makefile.am or I'm just doing something wrong with pkg. This is an attempt at compiling:
gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` -o main main.c exampleapp.c exampleappwin.c exampleappprefs.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`
That command says that there is unknown types and such so that's leading me to believe that I actually need to make a working Makefile.
Could anyone help guide me in the right direction?

I'm installing Antergos and dualbooting with Windows 7, but after I install Antergos successfully, I reboot and it goes right into Windows, bypassing the bootloader. I'm pretty sure it's not a safeboot issue, as it's 7 installed, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it.

You installed grub to /dev/sda and not /dev/sda1?

anyone?

if the comment below you is accurate and you're still having issues, boot into a liveUSB and use boot-repair

I'm looking for a free software for Windorks (I know, I know...) that takes a video and allows me to specify a time from X to Y and exports it as audio. Right now I have an audio extractor software and then I use audacity to cut off and export. I need a much faster method because I need to do this over 500 times.

Just set your wifi card to 1x or something, can your wifi even reach 500MB/s?

Ffmpeg is what ye seek.

Usually when there is a makefile all you need to do is run sudo make and then sudo make install.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

I found the solution over IRC, the command is make -f Makefile.example.

Still need a hand with this. The Iridium Devs didn't respond.

this is why I hate trying to build stuff

while I'm at it, I also don't know to do about this while trying to build gdmap.

I soon realized using a VPN isn't enough to anonymize myself, there's also user agent string. I'm using pale moon and the more popular randomize user agent string addon isn't compatible with it along with a bunch of addons. How do I randomize my UAS? The only privacy addons I have are request policy, encrypted web and blender. I found secret agent addon but I visited the site and it looks straight out of the 90's like one of those scam sites, has it been vetted and is it alright to use?

I was tricked into Windows 10 and now I'm stuck with it. I've made it work so whatever. My problem is that autocorrect/spell check doesn't work. I've looked for solutions, I've got the feature flicked on, yet nothing happens. I don't understand. My last computer, which had Windows 7, did this automatically with no hassle. Why is this a problem? Is there a choise program that actually works which will not be retarded in fixing my retarded writing?

Ok, so I used ffmpeg to extract the audio. It works great. But I wanna make this better. I use this command in a .bat file (using windows)

ffmpeg.exe -i somemoviefile.mkv -ss 00:03:00 -t 00:00:03 -q:a 0 -map a somemoviefile.wav

How do I make it so that when I drag and drop a file on the bat file the bat automatically replaces somemoviefile with the file that I dropped AND asks me for the time input so it know how much to cut? It could be so cool to just drag and drop and only to be asked for the start and end of the audio. Anyone with experience in ffmpeg can help me with this please? Thanks.

How the hell do I rice this crap?

Never mind, figured it out. Here is the bat file that I use to drag and drop a video over it and extract audio:

cls
set /p startTime="Start time: 00:00:00 "
cls
set /p endTime="Duration after start time: 00:00:00 "

ffmpeg.exe -i %~1 -ss %startTime% -t %endTime% -q:a 0 -map a %1.wav

@echo off
color 2f
cls
echo;
echo;
echo Drag and drop a file over this .bat file to extract audio with start and end time
echo;
set /p startTime="Start time: 00:00:00 "
cls
set /p endTime="Duration after start time: 00:00:00 "

ffmpeg.exe -i %~1 -ss %startTime% -t %endTime% -q:a 0 -map a %1.wav

Windows + loader = Windows boots normally and is activated.
Windows + Linux = Linux boots and works normally; Windows has an entry in Grub and boots normally but is unactivated.
Windows + loader + Linux = Linux boots and works normally; Windows has an entry in Grub but it won't boot and tells me I need to use the installation media to repair the installation. Even if I don't install Grub (or any other bootloader for Linux), the Windows loader still breaks somehow.

Can anyone think what the problem could be or how I could work around it? The only thing I can think to try at this point is installing Windows and Linux on seperate drives, but I can't be sure it would work and it would mean deleting a lot of data from one of my drives to make space, so I'm hesitant to take that step.

Additional info: I have used this Windows installation media + loader many times in the past to set up a dualboot with Linux and it has always worked flawlessly. I've tried several different distros and all of them break Windows when it is activated via the loader. Whether I use the loader before or after installing Linux makes no difference. I am following the exact same steps that I have always followed in the past.

Try redownloading the source package and mak sure the checksum matches up.

If I mount a frequently updated file via looping, is it similar to a snapshot as I assume or will changes get imported?

In gtk+3, how does one have widgets in multiple methods. I know that you are supposed to have a struct and a static declaration of that struct, but how do you get a simple piece of text outputted to the application in another method. pastebin.com/sLz2zUJt as reference, this is too fucking annoying

Trips and still no answers?

I built a new pc a few months ago and I'm having a bit of trouble with some things; the most major issue is how long it takes to open steam games. It says running but can take up to 10 minutes to actually open for some games, I got JC3 in the sale a few days ago and it said running for 30 minutes and never actually started. There are some other issue like this of general slowness but this is the worst aspect of it.

16 GB RAM
GTX 1070
Intel i5-660k

I skimped a bit on the cpu cos the budget was getting a bit out of control, is that the issue?

No, CPU is fine. Try starting steam by itself first.

What's a good RamDisk program for windows?

What windows? I heard 10 has some problems with linux.

What storage are you using? I bought some cheap HDDs for my decent rig and it bottlenecks my whole PC sometimes.

Sorry, I should've mentioned that.

It's Windows 7 (x64).

What is a good free software to scan book pictures into text?

For example:
1) I take photos with phone
2) Insert into software
3) I somehow get text

What is a good text doc to use similar to Word.
(text count, spell check)

You are thinking of OCR. There are several applications on F-Droid (the only worthwhile application store in my opinion). However they may or may not work as like most of the stuff on there, they are old and unsupported.

Once again, how have you not heard of LibreOffice or Geany by now?

Thankyou, user.

Are there any worthwhile FOSS TTS programs?

I'm looking to eventually write a script that will autodownload articles from my favorite RSS feeds into text files, format them, then read them.

I would for it to be something that isn't godawful to listen to, that doesn't require manual configuration each time in order to be listenable.

I initially looked into espeaks, but it's pretty difficult to listen to. Sadly, so far I've settled on using the google API within a firefox browser extension to achieve a slightly comparable effect, but I would like to see if there are any better alternatives.

Otherwise, I'm going to write said program using the google API because (ofc) it's the best sounding.

That works fine. This is mainly a problem with games which take up more space. Doom takes a few minutes to actually start and all take longer the games take longer than they do on a mid-range alienware that I got a few years ago.

I know JC3 is broken as fuck but nobody else is talking about having this issue and my PC is usually a lot slower than it should be so I'm pretty sure that there is something wrong with my rig.

well then rotate it 180º

Short version: 0) go to manafacture website, then your model and version number, 1) go to downloads,select BIOS sub section (the lastest one would be easier to deal with rather than trying to find the bare minimum version number), 2) Once downloaded copy to a Fat32 formated thumb drive, 3) reboot into UEFI/BIOS and there should be a sub menu where the downloaded file can be selected to apply the update (your manual should be able to provide more detailed directions).

Pic unrelated.

Does 64 bit Slackware's kernel support 32 bit programs and does it have 32 bit builds of its packages? I think I got Gabe Newell to run on Debian by installing the 32 bit version of every single dependency.

Something from both platforms that supports CalDAV should in theory be to do what you want.

Yeah, it's shit. I have a similar HDD, pretty much the same but 4TB, and it fucking sucks.
I'm guessing you did the same as me and bought a good computer, but decided to hold back on the storage for extra space for less money, don't fucking do that. The storage is the only thing holding my rig back and it's the same for you. Go out, get a decent SSD and move all your games to it. If it's too expensive for you, at least get a good HDD.

So, I'm afraid that I've decided to learn Java.

This is in anticipation of an upcoming Java CS course; it's not my preferred course of action, but I can see the merit in knowing it. I'd like to get a head start on actually learning the language.

I am wondering if anyone can recommend ways to go about it. I have a bunch of PDFs but that's a less than ideal format for me. I'll be picking up the textbook in a month's time, but in the meantime, I have a few older books:

Java for the Absolute Beginnner
How to Program Small Java 6th edition
Java in a Nutshell
Java Explorer

Most of these books are fairly insufferable], or in the instance of three, require base knowledge. I can definitely cobble something together from the physical books. I'm curious if anyone can recommend some interactive/assignment-driven formats that are online, or at the very least, can tell me which of the Java books in the Gentoomen's Library are most worthwhile.

No. Modern CPUs turn off parts that are unused at the moment. There is absolutely no reason for an 8-core to pull more juice than a dual-core when only one core is actually active.

looking to import stuff without it at all being connected to my name

I've bought burner phone which I was going to use with a drop box service called Parcel Motel but the problem is they only support credit card and paypal.

Does anyone have any ideas for how to deal with this while remaining anonymous? These are the credit cards listed see pic.

With paypal I either need to enter credit card or link to my bank account entirely, either way making it soI can't hide who I am.

also open to any other suggestions for how to import stuff without it being connected to me
faggy unnecessary question;this is bordering on legal rather than tech or even business but say if I'm importing something illegal, customs intercept package, they go to Parcel Motel and ask for details on who the package belongs to and they eventually find out all the information is fake and my anonymity is protected in every way EXCEPT for paypal knowing who owns the credit card, would Paypal give my information? Would government ask if it's only 150€'s worth of drugs?

Believe me, if there were any courses that would work in my situation, I'd have taken anything other than Java (within reason, of course.)

Decided to just torrent the textbook and work through a few exercises (THE COLLEGE MEMES ARE ALL TRUE), but if anyone has a good set of exercises - ideally Java-specific - that would be beneficial to practice and solidify concepts while learning, I'd be much obliged.
I already have the Adrian set.

Of course, I'm going to be thinking of my own programs, however, Tech has led me to believe that nothing good can come from unleashing more spaghetti Java upon the world.

anyone have any ideas?

All you need is understanding how grub works. good luck.

Thanks this worked. Any way to pre-define the resolution/dimensions that the window opens at?

I don't see how Grub could be the problem since the problem still occurs even when I don't install Grub.

You could try running Dependency Walker on the games to see what dll files are causing the issue. I would assume you need to reinstall one of the x64 packages, one of them probably got overwritten with x86 software somehow, breaking any software that uses it.

Does Haskell BTFO of Lisp?

Yes, they can track you down if they care enough. Paypal will comply. Will they actually go after you? No idea, I've never bought illegal shit online. General online shopping advice: I'd suggest a prepaid card, the non-reloadable kind, if you can still get them without requiring (((activation))) or showing an ID. Buying bitcoin locally is the best way to stay anonymous when shopping online though. You just need to find places that accept it.

Java has a set of official tutorials as well as API docs online. I can't remember if the official tutorials have exercises or anything though.


Buy the book, then upload it yourself so next time somebody needs it they don't have to buy it like you did, user.


Depends what you mean by safe. Do they keep logs? Most likely. Will they turn you in if asked? If they keep logs, the answer is almost always yes. Are they safe for masking your IP from a non-wealthy non-state actor? Sure. Don't use them for anything that would make you a target for gov agencies or the very wealthy, and I definitely wouldn't send sensitive information using them. If you're just worried about having your dox published, a proxy can be good enough depending on how much people hate you or are willing to cooperate with each other to find you.

Use uMatrix for randomizing your string by default. For sites that require a specific string, turn off useragent spoofing for that domain/subdomain and use UAControl to send them whatever string you want.

At what point do you know you're ready to apply for a programming job? I have around 5 more chapters of my book to go that covers exception handling, linked lists, stacks and queues, recursion & binary trees. I'm reading Starting out with C++ by Tony Gaddis

ALSO,

how do I get CLISP to work on Debian? I couldn't even find a proper download for Jessie.

Find an abandoned house/building and get it shipped there.

How can I stream youtube playlists over Tor? I don't want to have a Tor Browser instance running just for music when I could be using that browser for something else.

Mabye torify mpv?

I can't find any socks settings in their manual. I know you can simply run "torify whatever", but people sometimes report leaks with that method and Tor Project doesn't recommend blindly doing that either. I'll test it with a packet sniffer and see how it goes.

I have a crontab
* * * * * /usr/bin/pypy /var/www/html/user1/camera1/ResizeOrganize.py

I originally though that it was a permissions issue, but even after running chmod 777 and running the script as a root cronjob, this doesn't work. I double-checked and that is definitely where pypy is installed and I do have the magical newline underneath the command in the file. When I run the scrip as the owner of the file, it works as expected, but like I said, this doesn't work through cron. All directories above "user1" are owned by "www-data".

*I have a cron job

I should also add that I have tested and it definitely works as expected with pypy

Well there are quite a few that give the error of "Error opening file. The system cannot find the file specified (2)." I guess i need to install all of these but i don't have the slightest clue on how to start.

If you want anonymity within a browser why not just user Tor Browser? It is built for this purpose, and I don't just mean the Tor part but the Browser part as well.

I just found out about umatrix spoofing the user agent, I had already set mine to windws 7 and firefox. Thanks.


I'm using a VPN even though it's still not enough, Tor is too slow. There's no way of escaping the botnet but I'd like to run from it. Thanks.

What's the best option for flash on linux that doesn't require chrome? Iridium by default doesn't come with it. Is flash even still updated on firefox?

There's a - in between the artist and song name. Will try, thanks.

Now I'm getting no file or directory. I've changed the directory using cd ~/Music, typed in the name correctly. I'm new to all this, I need to batch convert a whole folder too and I can't convert a single song.

Still trying to install/activate Flash Player in Iridium.
It's on my computer and works in FireFox, but Iridium has it disabled and I can't find how to enable it.

Run it without Tor and over your VPN instead, and you still have a nice secure anonymous browser that tries its best to resist fingerprinting.

Didn't know you could do that, thanks.

How likely is it for headphones to be damaged by bass? I have a DAC and I turned the bass up high and my headphones recently started crackling (I keep my music loud). They're $50 Philips SHP9500S headphones, in case you needed to know.

Bought a new laptop, it has win10 installed, so im going to format it and make 3 partitions for win7, mint cinammon and all my shit.
How big should I make the win7 and mint cinammon partitions?

I've broken many headphones by having them too high.
Just don't place things up to max everytime and they should last a fair while. I've had some last 4 years without replacement, but i've also managed to get the same model and break them in a few months with high volumes.


Well, keep 8GB for W7 base OS, maybe 5GB for Mint base.
Now think to yourself, "What will I do with each OS?"

If you're using W7 for gayman and Mint for browsing and typing, you will want something like 70/30%, W7/Mint, maybe even 80/20.

Just think about what you will install, sum it up, then think about what you might want, and add accordingly until you've got something you like.

do you only know c++ and have only read that book? do you have a portfolio or just exercises from the book?


BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP

I don't know about win7, but generally for any Linux desktop 20GB should be more than enough if you plan to use it for a looong time and install lots of shit on it.


I think Mint's installer (ubiquity) will actually refuse to install to a partition bellow 8GB or something like that.

OP of ^ here.
Thanks for the suggestions re: official documentation, I downloaded the tarball and will use it supplement my progress.

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a good video/youtube series on learning Java, based on experience. There seems to be no shortage of them and I'd like to split my time between the book and its solid foundation but inane exercises (over a dozen exercises utilizing the exact same commands; overly redundant) and interesting projects via video lesson.

I know just C++ & Java. I don't have a portfolio, just the exercises from the book and class assignments such as programming blackjack

8ch.net/bans.html does show the ban per board.

I don't usually browse this board, but I was wondering if you guys could recommend me an alternative to Microsoft Office or maybe tell me about a safe way of torrenting it.

libreoffice.org/

Yeah looking into prepaidcards now. Apparently they do mastercard but need proof of identity. I'm just finding out now that 3 Mobile provide cards but I just invested €40 in another phone service, might have to shill out an extra €35. I'll go to3store over next few days find out if they'll require id or proof of address, really awkward doing this stuff while giving them a fake name and I'll probably have to ask straight-up if they require ID this time.


I'm Eurofag so maybe that's why this could never work for me, but pretty sure they'll only leave it on the porch if I go witha courier that I can give specific instructions to - and even then it's dodgy.

Also apparently one red flag for customs isif the person I claim I am doesn't live at the address.

My graphics card broke and I decided to upgrade my hardware at the same time but not new hardrives.

Here is my question: I have two hardrives, one SSD and one regular. The OS is on the SSD and all games, anime and my reaction images are on the HDD.
I've read that you should reinstall the OS when changing your hardware, but can I keep all the stuff on the HDD an not wipe that?

Does it matter of the OS is reinstalled or not?

You forgot to tell us which OS, you massive faggot.

Windows 7.

You don't need to reinstall your OS if the graphics card is the only thing you upgrade. Just make sure to cleanly remove the graphics drivers before you install the new ones.

If you are doing a larger upgrade at the same time (mobo+CPU), then yes, system reinstallation is recommended. When Windows notices it is running on wildly different HW than before it will flip out and force you to reactivate recrack it again anyway. You will need to reinstall the games, but the rest may stay put where it is. Modern games typically keep their savegames/unlocks in your user folder, so if you back up that you will not lose your progress. I recommend formatting the SSD before installation while you're at it.

Thanks for the answer.
I'll just format the SSD and let the HDD be as is.

Looking for a free email provider that supports POP or IMAP, something really minimal that doesn't collect and sell data, and allows me to connect over Tor with TorBirdy. I'll be using this solely for receiving mailing lists, news feeds, etc., so the more minimal and dumber it is the better.
Or is there a better setup? I'm just really tired of having to remember to manually visit each single website just to get my news and dev updates, but I don't want to be leaving a lot of traces either.

I'm in a similar situation but a little behind you (I only know C++, learning Lisp right now though). So I've asked myself the same question, but obviously am not an authority on the subject.


I'd say you should try to get your feet wet. Look for something where if you fuck up big it's not a big deal (maybe like a team project, or advertise as a contract coder or something). But definitely work on doing assignments out of the book, maybe emulate what someone might hire you for?

IDK, what I've been doing lately is just spontaneously coding whatever I can automate in my life for practice. Just get out of "by the book" type problems.

For gaming on linux, is it better to use wine with winetricks dlls, or make a playonlinux profile for every single game?

Is 8chanX the only equivalent of 4chanX for this site? The GitHub says it's pretty much abandoned.
It's been years and I'm starting to miss the "Fit expanding images to window height" option. Is there at least a script for that?

I bought a sound card (Audigy FX) and been having some issues with hissing/static, even when I mute/disable the card in device manager. At first I moved it from my PCIe 1x slot, that was real close to my CPU and GPU, to my 2nd PCIe 16x slot that was a further away. It reduced the noise a bit but I can still hear it when it's completely quiet. Here's the thing though, I hear 0 hissing/static if I use the front panel. I read that people have the opposite problem (they hear noise from the front and not the back). Also, is there any quality difference between the front or back? I think the back sounds a little better but that may be placebo. I'm not sure. The hissing sound is only an issue when it's completely quiet though so I'm not sure if I should just stick to using the back if it's indeed better.

any way to get your windows cd key? the little paper that had it was on the comp, but now its to difficult to read it.

I'm trying to get flash for iridium on linux too. I installed pepper flash which is a compatibility layer, but it's not on Iridium. It's on Pale Moon and Firefox, but didn't work. This is the only thing I found

My HDD fucked up and now I can't access my computer. Most files are still there but I can't access the main disk because of what I'm assuming is Vera crypt's fault.
How would I go about unlocking my HDD with Vera crypt and prompt?
I'm using Windows 7 BTW.

Yes and yes.

I'd like to run uMatrix as a blacklist instead of a whitelist with the hosts files taking precedence. How do?

Should I keep running OpenBSD on my Haswell i5 machine, or is it worth trying to get a G5 Power Mac running for shitposts and giggles? Can it handle webm/animus? anyone got PowerPC experience?

there are other mobile browsers, but
check installgentoo wiki you duff

Hosts file already takes precedence. To make uMatrix work like noscript, just change the wildcard scope to be more restrictive, then make more open rules for domain or subdomain scopes on sites you trust.

I recommend this configuration.

Shit, I read that wrong. Instead, you would want to make everything green on the wildcard and then for domain/subdomain scope click to turn everything red. By default the cells inherit the color, clicking on the top half of a cell sets it green, bottom half red. It's really not hard to use it as a blacklist or whitelist. You can change the HTTP referer spoofing and user agent string spoofing based on scope as well. Off for *, on for blacklisted sites.

I'm using FossaMail on windows, just moved from thunderbird, and the FireTray extension seems to be borked (enigmail works fine). I tried MinTrayR, which DID work, but it doesn't show unread mail and uses the awful default icon, whereas Firetray can specify a custom one. Why this is?

I need to manually create a partition to install Windows 7, how should I set it up?

if you're scared of the command prompt, try a liveusb
if things go pear-shaped, use the terminal + a search engine to fix
windows will do it for you because it is nigger tier

By need I mean seriously need.
The partition chooser thing on the windows setup isn't working on the driver I need it on, so I'm going to create a partition for it on gparted before installing and hope it works.
The thing is, I'm not sure what file system and label to use.

ntfs unless you wanna fuck around in the big scary black terminal
she'll be right, kiddo

Welp.
Any way I can do this without formatting the whole HHD?

damn, thats right, you can't shrink Windows partitions without microsoft brand partitioning systems
if you can fuck around with the drivers (or use another windows system), then you can get away without reformatting the disk

I guess I'm fucked then. I was trying to do this to install windows to try and unfuck windows on my other drive. I guess I'll back up anything important and just do a clean install.

I tried one last time, it still didn't see shit, but diskpart recognized the partition, so I selected the partition and hit clean, so the fucking thing clensed the whole HDD instead of just that partition.
How bad did I fuck up and can I somehow get the files I cleaned back?

Gparted`s gpart should work on the NTFS fine. However it is 50/50 odds of working on the Linux partition, however Testdisk should be able to do more oftern.

What the fuck is this bullshit

i have 300gb of music connected to a homeserver. On my ubuntu installation, I use clementine to stream the library to my computer, however, the program is rather bloated and updating the process took a long, long time.

i'm wondering if it's possible to do this over cmus, particularly so I can keep my arch installation as minimal and as TUI-based as possible. I've done some searches and haven't found anything that works for me.

home server is connected via lan. i could potentially run an ethernet cable between them when i'm home, but obv i'd prefer not to do that
home server has static ip; archbox is pretty consistently same ip & could be static if necessary
i'd prefer not to manually pipe songs on a song/dir basis

tried using sshfs and couldn't get it to work for me, if someone wants to handhold me through it (especially over irc) I'd be much obliged

WiFi privacy question.

I attend a university whose network is WPA2/Enterprise using PEAP authentication. I connect to it using a university issued username and password.

If I use Tor on my PC, or Orbot/Orfox on my Android phone, and connect to this network under my username/pass, what traffic info could a network or sys admin see? How private is my browsing?

I understand the basics of how Tor works but I haven't been able to find any info about whether or not connecting to a network like this with a username/pass affects that.

Did you even install ntfs-3g in that live distro? It might not already be installed, depending from which distro that iso comes from.

Should be fine since your connection is "torified" before actually leaving your system. By "torified" I mean that it's encrypted and the to-be-sent packets have your entry guards as their remote address.
So your network can only see that you're connecting to your entry guards and on which port. Basically, they can figure out that you're using Tor since the list of entry guards is public. You can use an obfs4 proxy to conceal even this, but that will probably make your connection quite slower.
I would do some research on how that type of authentication works though, just to have a peace of mind.

You have to be more detailed, user. How it was failing? What error message? Do standard SSH tools (e.g. scp) work with the server?

I get noise while recording with my mic on linux but can get really good recordings while on windows. What gives?

I tried wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Static_noise_in_microphone_recording

but it did not help at all.

Through customization, can firefox be as lightweight as say midori, dillo or whatever else?

I've always used defaults. Always. But it's 2k16+1 and I'm trying to get comfy.

You can turn off a lot of things, if there's one thing Firefox actually is, it's customizable. But no, it cannot be as light as dillo or midori. However it can be private and somewhat replicate midori (minus the constant segfaults) but it's not the same. Kind of a stupid question tbh fam

this aint tech support but i want this fucking image

there was an imagine shitting on xkcd, and it had like wall of texts about how "smart" he was

it used to be hosted here: media.8ch.net/file_store/49d92bf86602d42d34bb19b7139cdccf24ec8277abe916b7484a3b70187fd58c.jpg/xkcd3.jpg but alas it's dead

anyone know which image i'm talking about or can somehow get it back?

Hello Holla Forums, /pdfs/ here. Just want to remind you our board exists and we have a fairly large tech thread going. I know some of you don't like Holla Forums but everyone is welcome to use /pdfs/, so come and browse, download and share if you want to.

>>>/pdfs/315

I didn't know where to post but this thread seems like a safe bet. I know some of you Holla Forums guys can get a bit grouchy about unnecessary threads :^)

Is the blackphone bp1 as unhackable as blackphone bp2?

Hello Holla Forums, I have owned a Sun T5240 for a while, and I have desided I am going to recase it with larger fans for quiet operation. The motherboard seems to be non-standard, but it is about the same size as a SSI-EEB board. Does anyone know anything about this form factor, and if there are any cases I could buy that would contain it? Right now I am just going to either buy a case and drill in standoffs and route IO through extension cords (as the IO layout on the board is flat) or get some metal and forge my own.

unhackable/secure

Sup Holla Forums. Recently I inherited a factory reset Galaxy S4, got a new SIM card, and got a prepaid plan (it's a shit deal but it's limited to one provider). I have never owned a smartphone before. I can probably figure out the basic stuff but I'd like your help with more advanced tips and tricks like what apps I should use and should purge from the phone, custom code that improves performance, and whether or not to update it and how to select the best update. I'd also like to know how to keep the phone from using data that I haven't authorized. I'd really like to have some help so I can fit in better with normies at work. Thanks.

We have no clue and I don't think the company does either. It seems like the same thing as before but with higher specs.

Don't buy into this meme, it just seems like some base linux kernel with 4 android vm's layered on top.

Sort of like a cloud computing server but it doesn't share information between the vm's.

You can do the same with your phone and do it better with proper parctices, but it will still be just as buggy and unsecure as the rest with the propriatary firmware and the nature of monolithic kernels.

The advertisement about patching any vunrabities also seems bullshit. The Linux foundation does not work like that so they must have some insider knowlege if they could do something like that which I highly doubt.

The whole thing just seems like it's capitalizing on other peoples fear of privacy.

Get lineage os or replicant os if they support the device, that'll ungoogle/semi-debotnet it.

Unfortunately Lineage only has a download for the Mini version and it doesn't look like Replicant supports the device at all.

ok i fixed it by updating, dist-upgrading, installing default-mysql-client and then default-msql-server, then it werked and finally i installed phpmyadmin so i can play around with databases
maximum comfy

I've been trying to figure out why I can't download .mp3 with mpyst. I have youdube-dl, ffmpeg and set the encoder. What am I missing?

youtube doesn't re-encode original file's audio in mp3, usually opus or aac.

If you really want an mp3 format, you can just reconvert the file with ffmpeg.

But mpyst is supposed to do that with ffmepg.
I've tried converting files with ffmpeg. I've set the directory where the file is cd ~/Music and the do a simple
ffmpeg -i name.ogg name.mp3
I get no file or directory exists. I want to batch convert files, but I can't even do a single one.

How to batch rename files in Linux? My autism demands I get rid of the file extensions .jpg .gif all that. I've looked it up but there are a bunch of different ways to do it.

Then choose one you humongous faggot. Don't waste our time asking something you already know.

Well shit, everytime I've tried any command ever in Linux it's always with fail. Can't even open a simple pic from the terminal I tried
And I get
the console
Fucking hell, I've tried a wget command and I get no such file or directory, this is driving me mad.

Either you're a massive retard who can't copy a simple command verbatim into a terminal or there is something seriously fucked with your system. What distro are you running? What is the default shell? What memes have you bought into?

What's the problem? Defrag your windows partition then shrink the partition to whats necessary to your needs.

Using Mint, I don't know the default shell I don't know the command that shows the distros logo and system info. I love the idea behind linux freedom and all but it's a frustrating learning experience. My guess is Mint doesn't want you doing anything too advanced, although what I'm doing is basic shit.

i think its pretty cool that you can control apps rights

Indeed, that's the feeling I got too when I tried it some years ago. A lot of standard command-line tools were missing from the default installation, though they were easy to install if you knew what you were doing. I don't have experience with newer versions though.

Please post output of the following commands:
echo $SHELL
sh --version
cat /etc/os-release

Anyone here play UNIEL on PC? If so I could use some help getting it to start…have been troubleshooting for hours. Its just a rar and an executable, but whenever I start it up it will always crash after the production/developer logo screens. Included all error messages that show up. Ive reinstalled my codec pack, checked to make sure DirectX is good, and generally troubleshot it for a bit now, was hoping someone here could give me some insight. Running Windows 7 64-bit

Also it does have steam stuff like an .api included, is there something I need to do with that?? Obvs I torrented it.

How do I add scripts to dmenu?

You add them to your $PATH and use dmenu_run.
man dmenu

Might be the wrong place but I've ran out of ideas.

Long story short, forgot to save porn video.

Is there an extension that I can use for bing to hide certain videos from appearing in the search results? Essentially I want to keep filtering video's since I can't remember the exact tags.

What's the best database management software that respects my freedoms and works natively on ganoo slash linux? I've only ever used Access before which was fine but obviously isn't free. I assume Libreoffice Base is the best option but I'd like to hear it from people who are actually experienced.

As for how I want to use it I just want to make a database of all my art/music projects to reference from my portfolio website since that would allow me to add in features like sorting/filtering and make it so I don't have to manually copypaste HTML around whenever I make something new.

Bumping this question so it isn't forgotten.

apache + mysql + phpmyadmin
it just werks

I just bought a gtx 1080. My question is, can i still use my gtx 750 ti in the same rig, so i can use its video outputs?

how do I systematically become a more well rounded Holla Forums guy?

I'm 20 and of course I grew up in America using computers.
I was always better than most around me but never any thing impressive. Where do I start?
It seems like you all have such an extensive and broad knowledge of all things. How do I build it up? where do I start? I'm in school now working on my math/science prereqs. What do I do? Is there a checklist of some sort?

"Steal this computer book" and "Secret Guide to Computers"

edx.org

Take the Intro to programming logic with Python class. Its free unless you want a certificate. Its a way to make more progress quickly. Python is a good "get it done quickly" language, whereas at runtime its 20+ times slower than C, for most amateur programming the processing time isn't a big deal as you are going to be working with text.

How does one become a martial arts master? How does one become good at Holla Forums? Pretty much the same type of question. It takes 10k+ hours to get good at a skill, to master a skill, that's just the reality of it. Start now, stick with it.

I saw that book at the store, then went home and downloaded it

thanks for the trips and the non condescending answers.

I'm on the path for now.

I guess I should also get into the habit of actually seeking out solutions when I run into problems on any technological front and build up knowledge over time in that way as well.

do you have any ebook/epub torrent site recommendations ?

Check the sticky for the Gentooman torrent

Also check out Libgen.io

Hey Holla Forums probably a dumb question but here we go anyway.

I have a steering wheel which usually uses a power adaptor that provides 24V and 1A.

All I can find around the house is 12V 2A power cords. They fit into the steering wheel power plug, but I wanted to ask first.

Will I fry my steering wheel, or will the opposite happen (not enough power)?

Thanks, and again apologies for the idiotic question.

pic unrelated

Depends on the way the circuitry is designed but overamping will likely fry it. I do not recommend.

It won't have enough power. A power source's current usually refers to its maximum capacity, not the current it delivers, because voltage is much easier to control than current and thus it is the magnitude that must be usually respected.

Tried it without (just powered over USB) works fine, except I don't have rumble support, but I'm ok with that.

Thanks!

Not with any current operating system AFAIK. Might be possible in the future, as driver stacks are being reworked to generically support laptops with switchable GPUs without horrible hardware and driver specific hacks that are needed today.

As of now, the rule of thumb is that you render on the same card that you output video from (with rare and very specific exceptions).

I have a question regarding the Linux version of Clementine. I can make playlists, and load them manually from the playlist drop down between music and tools. But I want a playlist submenu using the playlist thing on the left between files and internet. For some reason, only one of my playlists is coming up there. Why?

Did you actually mark the other playlist favorited?

I want to run a very minimal website (the entire thing would be less than 100 kilobytes). Who should I use to register a domain with and what's the best way to host such a small site? Can I find a place that'd do it for free? Is there a good cheap VPN for this? Should I run my own server?

I don't really know where to start.

Just use github pages :^)

Is it possible to install/run Linux off an external hard drive connected via USB? Got a mini-atx thing going on and don't have space for another proper hard drive.

Yes. Although you could also get an SSD and just velcro it inside (or outside) the mini-atx case if you wanted and still use sata

I know this question is asked all the time, but how do I into programming?

I am looking for a web proxy which adapts websites to render correctly on old browsers (Think Windows 98 era), turning pngs onto jpg/gif and such.
Something like what Opera Mini does but rendering it to HTML that IE6 can handle, or what Google did for WAP browsers on old feature phones.
Does this exist?

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy.
Doesn't seem to be working. I'm planning on uninstalling this shit distro because it seems I have zero control over it. I tried to install Devuan in a VM, but I messed up gonna look into it.

SUID is usually used to elevate privileges. Do I assume correctly that it can also be used to restrict programs if I chown the binary to a different user?

Starting using MPV video player, in my PC with Windows 7...How the hell do I configurate this player? Cant acces to anything, and cant for example force it to always loop the file, instead of quitting after the video ends.

This program doesnt have any config files or similar....How do I edit/configurate MPV player?

reminder to filter namefags

wouldn't it be slow as fuck due to the usb bandwidth?


have you tried SMPlayer?

Don't give up on it yet. Mint is fine, you just need to manually install some command-line shit that is installed by default in most other distros. *buntus have the same problem, IIRC.

I see you're on Mint 17 (which is based on the old LTS 'buntu), I strongly suggest you upgrade to 18 for a much newer package base:
community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2316

If you have any trouble making something work, feel free to ask here. Explain what you have already tried and how it failed. Don't be a faggot who asks to be spoonfed like here:

Kek. Mplayer and its fork mpv are designed to be run from the terminal. You can control their behaviour by commandline switches (e.g. -loop loops the file), or by the config file (though I have no idea where is it stored on Windows).
What you probably want is a nice, normie-friendly frontend to mpv like SMPlayer.
smplayer.info

How do I keep the video looping (starting again when reaching the end) in smp player? Cant find it in the settings.

It' called SMPlayer (S + MPlayer, since it is a frontend to MPlayer (or mpv)).
Play | A-B section | Repeat
You should also have a button near the seek bar to do the same.

Thanks.

How do you access non-public files from a windows drive from another windows drive?
I can open them just fine in linux, but they're read only, in windows they don't show since they're not public and the windows on that drive isn't working anymore, so I'm kind of fucked here.

Thanks a ton, I hate asking for help but sometimes I can not find specific stuff or get a bunch of different answers, I actually do try to solve it and come here as a last resort because this isn't tech support.

Reason I haven't upgraded to 18 is because I read it's pretty shitty although I should do further research, and I want a systemd free distro and I like debian and ubuntu based distros' they seem to be the easier ones so I opted for devuan.

I'm trying to get flash on iridium too, I can't find anyhing on the internet to enable it.
As for startpage, it's a bit iffy but save your settings and it'll bring you to the main page, go back to settings, click generate url install custom plugin there you go.

I want to build a website or two, and after dabbling a bit with wordpress.com, i decided to get my own domain and gain a bit more control.

I purchased four domains over the last couple of weeks, using expireddomains.net/ to find some of interest.

I chose www.darazhost.com for hosting, due to the the goodness of their $6/month unlimited diskspace, unlimited emails, multiple websites plan.

So how i have a host, and am logged in, but i dont know what im doing.

Pic related shows the directory structure. Where was i supposed to extract the wordpress files/directories? I put them in public_html, because that sounded sensible. Should i have put them into ect/domain1.com?

Is the directory structure a standard web server setup?or what. if i knew what it was called, i'd have better luck searching for information.

Beware, this is ALWAYS bullshit.
Either:
1) They have a TOS forbidding you of using the space for pretty much anything you'd want to use it for, so that you don't (and they keep a close eye on your usage).
2) The unlimited space is horribly slow, not even SSD-cached
3) They will actually send you an email telling you "hey... about that unlimited space... you're using too much of it"

Also wordpress is shit, for less than $5 a month you can get yourself a low-end VPS and install whatever you want from the command line. Anything PHP is good only to learn what not to do.

1. Will my Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura mobo boot from an NVMe M.2-PCIe 3.0 SSD? NVMe isn't even referenced anywhere in the manual, so I don't have a good feeling about it.

2. Is it really that likely that I'll have to clock my 3000MHz DDR4 down to auto/2133MHz for it to play nice with NVMe, as I've read is sometimes the case?

3. If booting from an NVMe drive isn't possible, are AHCI M.2-PCIe or AHCI M.2-SATA cards worth the expense, or should I just get a 1.8"/2.5" AHCI SATA SSD?

4. Oh, and Windows 10 does have decent native NVMe drivers now, right?

5. Lastly, is migrating my Win10 install from HDD to SDD just a simple matter of creating a partition table on the SDD and cloning the partition over from the HDD?

Sorry for the fuckload of questions.

Mabye a update may enable it, however I belive it shouldn't really matter seeing as it just PCIE at the end of the day most likely.
Not shure, but statically unlikely.
It really would depend on
Mabye, I don't see why not.
In theory yes, however I would suggest using dd to clone the two or so Windows OS partitions into a unfortmatted drive as then everything should be the exact same.

Yeah, i figured that, I'm not planning on using terrabytes, but other hosting had limits of as little as 1 or 2 Gb. Imagine running out of space, it would be shit.

I'm planning on experimenting with some Wordpress/woocommerce dropshipping websites. I should be able to get something reasonable up and running reasonably quickly. Bear in mind that i don't know much about webdesign or running servers... Other than wordpress, am i going to find a cheap, quick solution to getting something up and going?

Can you tell me anything about the server from the directory structure i uploaded?

If i put an index.html file into the public_html directory, should it be visible when i go to domain1.com?

To anyone who cares: through a lot of googling I've worked out that yes the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura does support NVMe1.1 over M-key M.2Gen3-PCIe3.0x4

Whenever I attempt to play vidya, after a little while (1-5 minutes depending on the game) my monitor will give me a black screen, sound from the game will continue, the fans go into jet-turbine mode and almost propels itself into space.

I have no heat issues, heat has never been a problem. All drivers are up to date, I haven't been spitting in the fans or smearing boogers on the circuits.

What is this, is it the psu? What is it, pls rspnd..this cold turkey from gaming is making me lose wieght and cook my own food and clean my room out of boredom.

If you are on Linux then it's a driver problem. Try switching to proprietary drivers or to free drivers.

I'm not on linux, I'm on plebdows :^)

Fuck man, that shit's serious then.

What does it mean, what's the problem? :^(

Reinstall is the only fast way to really fix most problems with Windows sometimes.

hello,
I recently built a new computer and after installing linux and everything on it (graphics drivers, programs I want to run etc.) I have a problem that 2 very important websites are not working.

The sites I cannot get to work are:
www.startpage.com
www.ipleak.net

Startpage is obviously my default search engine. It does not work on this system but on all my others it does work, so it cannot be a downtime. The other site is the one I use to see if my VPN connection went without problems and whether I am leaking any informations after connecting.

I tried it with palememe and iceweasel and on both browsers I get the same error message (Pale Moon can't find the server at ...). Palememe has full paranoia settings with ecache dom storage and many other settings turned off while Iceweasel only has webrtc disabled. Therefore I suggest that the source of the problem would not be browser settings. I also tried to connect without my VPN enabled and it does not work as well, so the sites are unlikely to be banning VPN connections.

My system infos:
AMD FX based hardware and HD6000 series graphics card
Linux Debian 8.7.1
Cinnamon desktop environment
LXDE desktop env. installed for testing
Palemoon webbrowser installed
Iceweasel webbrowser installed
no flash installed
no java installed

Now I wanted to ask if anyone had similar problems already. I cannot find the problem and I think it is unlikely that java or flash are the sources as both sites are supposed to be privacy-friendly. Even google.com works.

I need to connect a Firewire device to a recent laptop, a Thinkpad L460. This laptop has neither CardExpress nor Thunderbolt, which eliminates two categories of adaptors I have used before.
Is there another option?

Sounds like a GPU hang. Reasons for it could be many: GPU overheating, unstable power supply, buggy video driver (unlikely if every gayme shits up the same), borked GPU, borked RAM... I probably missed some more.

The easiest way to diagnose would be to move the graphics card to a different computer and see if it still shits up. However if you don't have another computer to try this with, try reseating the graphics card and power cords connecting to it. Next try underclocking the GPU and see if it helps.

Do pings to those websites go through?

I know it's not a heating issue. But I can try reseating the graphics card and power cords.
Thanks for the answers and patience user

Is anybody using a gtk3 type-ahead patch on Debian? Can you give or link some instructions on how to apply these patches to gtk3 and then maintain them?
I would really like to switch to Debian and have my setup all planned out, except that the gtk3 file-chooser dialog is unusable with the new search misfeature.

thx for the tip
I just tried it. pinging google works fine. Pinging startpage gets me the following error message: unknown host www.startpage.com

probably this is some DNS problem

Check if your VRAM gets flooded? That's all I can think of besides an overheating problem. Then again I don't know anything about overheating. My laptop's average temps for a year have been 190F

If you're good with Android and Java software in general, now would be a good a time as any to help me. I'm stumped.
I have a FiiO X7, a hi-fi player, which so far has VERY limited support for CWM/TWRP/Xposed.
I asked in another forum but they couldn't help me. I don't KNOW anyone who can actually help me at this point, might as well try here.

The update.img file is inside this archive, which contains the kernel, boot, fw, etc.

Here are the extracted files just in case mega.nz/#F!jdUFCY7I!IUbkdmGhhyzCxGlKSO6IQQ
I can also link the extracted system.img for further inspection.

I RK3066_IMG_Mod_Tool.zip from github.com/ronniehd/android.projects.ec/tree/master/MK808/Rockchip_TOOLS to extract it.
Downloaded it and renamed the update.img file "wendal.img" and dragged it inside the RK3066_IMG_Mod_Tool folder, then simply pressed "Runme" and then 1 to unpack, but you most likely already know all of this. I hope


Let me also link an older FW that contains a RK3188Loader(L)_V2.15.bin and 3.0.36+ kernel inside along with other boot files that are also compatible with the newest FW, which are all here. docs.google.com/uc?id=0BxKBoZ5qWkcVZkUzZDMtN1A3Mlk&export=download

None of them work yet sadly.
I can only root as of now, so no Viper4Android, no TWRP or CWM, or Xposed Installer. When I DO try Xposed in 5.1, it gives me a black screen after restarting, so there is some hardcore incompatibility there. Would greatly appreciate some help.

Lowering clocks lowers power draw. If the power supply is wonky it might increase stability, even if all components were cooled well from the start.

PLEASE HELP

unplugged my hard drive while computer was powered off, plugged it back in while it was still powered off (after messing with BIOS settings with it unpluged)

NOW it won't boot into my OS, but it's still being recognized on my arch live CD (was trying to dual boot so I had arch on a live usb)

ok just to be clear, I was trying to dual boot windows and Arch. Maybe I deleted the boot loader for windows? The thing is, is that I didn't fuck with the single windows partition on my hard drive. So, unless the boot loader is stored outside of that, that shouldn't be the case..

Yesterday I tried to help fix a friend's old netbook that is suffering from the ntldr is missing problem. I looked up what I could about the problem and saw most required a CD of winXP to solve which couldn't be done since it had no CD drive and I didn't have the cd. I saw a solution that used a program called easy recovery essentials, so I found a torrent of it and tried to write it to my USB drive to boot it. I have a 16gb Sandisk cruzer drive and had to format it in order to get it to write the ISO file. After doing this I tried fixing my friends netbook but it didn't work. Worse more, the USB drive didn't seem to work anymore either. Whenever I plugged it in , it would make a sound acknowledging a device was plugged in, but it wouldn't show up in my computer devices. I found a way to get it to work but it showed up as a local drive instead of a removable storage drive. Whenever I try to write the drive again to live boot an ISO file, it has the same problem of not showing up in my computer to be able to be used.how can I fix my USB drive to be recognized as a removable storage device and not a local driv? Also anyone know if it is possible to do fix friend's said netbook? We're both poorfags and don't have money to get it repaired

Best way to screenshot an entire page of a site on firefox?

Tried the screenshot --fullpage thing but it isn't saving for some reason, perhaps because of how big the page is (1195x32000 even by a lower quality shot I got through an addon).

I have a Devuan system encrypted with LUKS on LVM. When I boot it, the volumes don't activate automatically and I have to do it manually and then open the LUKS volume.

Clearly both cryptsetup and lvm are in the initramfs, but for some reason they aren't used by either GRUB or early Linux. What do?

Use systemd. It takes care of all of this for you.

I want to start contributing to libre software.

How do I get started?

*libre software projects

I know that github is the place to find them, but I have no idea what I should do to help.

I tried to switch to devuan as well this year but this distro is such a clusterfuck it is just ridiculous. I tried to install it 3 times. First time my internet did not work and I had no idea how to get it working. Then my encryption password for LUKS did not work (possibly me fucking it up while typing it in the first time). Then I installed it again with a netinstall cd and it seemed pretty good. Then after the installation, I booted up the system and got onto the LUKS screen where you have to enter the password. My keyboard stopped working right there and no matter what I typed in, nothing happened. In Bios menu, everything worked as always. I even tried another keyboard.

To make it short, Devuan is still beta software and it might be best to just skip it until they fixed all the problems and achieved "just werks"-status just like debian.


I just installed the tor browser and tried it there. Everything worked. I have no idea what the problem is. I would appreciate any tips for this issue

Would this work?
To possibly lower costs and increase speeds, why haven't companies just made CPUs that are multiple CPUs stacked on top of each-other or side-by-side...? I get heating would be an issue but it shouldn't be that difficult to get rid of heat...

Bump.

So it turns out that my host has "one click" wordpress installs, which i've done, but i still cant access that shit.

The original support email said that i could use 99.99.99.99/~username/ while i wait for my domain names to propogate.

My understanding is that my wordpress admin should be at
99.99.99.99/~username//wordpress/wp-admin/
but i get 404 Error
I can see through file explorer that there is a readme.html in the wordpress directory, but
99.99.99.99/~username//wordpress/readme.html
but i get 404 Error
Also tried
99.99.99.99/~username//readme.html
but i get 404 Error.

What am i doing wrong? how do i access the wordpress website?
Also, i created for three domains, so should they be
99.99.99.99/~username/domain2/wordpress/wp-admin/ ?
but i get 404 Error.

You did not allocate storage for the strings. The char* type is just a pointer to some place in memory. You need to have it point somewhere before you write through it.

Not only must that be set to 2, network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer must be set to true.

Was looking at that one earlier. Do you need an account because it costs money or because they datamine you?

it keeps tracks of your lessons and where you stopped so you can continue later on from the same place.
So possibly just datamining.

Can you describe in detail what exactly you did so far and what is your setup? Do you use full-disk-crypto and are confused because you have to enter the passphrase twice? Are you trying to use a keyfile to automatically open the LUKS device during initramfs stage?

If you have to change it later you don't have to change it in multiple places, just change one file and it'll affect every page that uses it. For a single page it doesn't really matter, but for full sites it becomes helpful really fast.

What wins when it comes to server speed? Client speed?

To add to that, there really aren't any cons to linking stylesheets, even on the weakest devices. In my experience much of the bloat of a website comes from JavaScript and images (especially gifs, animation effects, and video). Whereas inline stylesheets or style attributes make it harder to change things on multiple pages consistently. Those should be reserved for styling things specific to a single page that you know for sure you won't need to reuse.

If you link a stylesheet, the client can and will cache the stylesheet. If it's a part of the webpage, they'll be downloading the whole sheet every time they visit another page. Speed won't necessarily be affected noticeably, because they're so small and the rendering is most of the page load time. But yes, it would make a difference. Server speed makes no real difference, it'll provide the css when requested. The larger issue is what I said about the server and client not benefiting from the cached stylesheet if you go inline.

Aha. Thanks, that's pretty helpful.

How do I execute a script that requires sudo perms on startup?

Mabye disable fast boot and secure boot just a guess.

That already happens with more than one core processors unless you mean physical ones with pins and holes. In that case some specific server designed motherboard boards support two physical CPU`s. In theory at least, it should be similar to multithreading in that depending on the task it mabye hard for the requested data to be processed effectively if the work load is serial in nature.

There is sometimes a page saying "if you wish to contribute: here is some code/text guide lines, here is the roadmap for features that need working on. Contact details for specific person assigned to the code/text section if present".

I assume flooded means in this context that the requested amount exceeds the maximum possible. Which then leads to possible bottlenecks while a que is created. You can either reduce the requested amount by lowering settings or increase clock speeds in the hope that it will allow for it to keep up.
With software such as MSI Afterburner or your manafacture`s own solution.

Adding it to the launching process may help.

So I got a Halo: CE iso off of of the Holla Forums's Volafile from sharethreads and installed it. Now what it did afterwards was weird, it reset my PC for some reason and then it did something else that was wonky and it should not have. When I boot up my Windows nonsense and drivers take a while up appear, I go black screen immediately after "welcome to windows" appears and it does this for two minutes for some reason, I can ctrl+shift+esc and get my Windows Task Manager and the reason I say my drivers take a while to appear is because they really aren't present, only my base Windows drivers are.

I'm trying overclocking for the first time, to see if it improves the performance of a certain game, the overclock seems pretty stable at 3.4GHz (normal is 3GHz), but has not had an impressive boost in performance for this particular application.
The motherboard is built to support overclocking and does most of the adjustments automatically based on how high I raise the clock speed, now keeping heat dissipation in mind I was wondering if I could clock higher while keeping temperature down by simply disabling cores, another feature supported by the motherboard. The application doesn't take advantage of multiple cores anyway, so there shouldn't be anything of consequence there.

Can I overclock safely to 4GHz while keeping heat down by disabling cores?

guy I know told me to look at my event log so I did. Here's what I got. I'm not sure what to do but I'll keep using Google on the errors to find fixes for it all.

After doing some looking it seems a few of these can simply be ignored. Like the MSiinstaller is actually an eroge I tried installing that my firewall probably blocked.

Sorry to hijack question, but I'm at 4ghz stock, is it worth overclocking? I ask because I have no clue how to and would have to look it up.

Auto-overclock software is at best garbage and at worst garbage that's going to kill your CPU. Look up a guide for the family of CPU that you have. I don't know about disabling cores.


Do you have problems with performance? If so, it might be.

So I shouldn't trust the auto-overclock settings in the bios? That sucks.

Secure boot should be a toggle in your BIOS/EFI depending on your manafacture/ODM. As for fast boot, there are guides easily available.

I think was talking more about userland programs. However Ibwould recommend learning how to do it manually incase you need to make small changes to become stable and the defaults include using SICI rather than SATA. Anyway half decent cooling is strongly recommend. Also for disabling certain cores, most likely depnds on your BIOS/EFI.

Oh yeah I wouldn't put overclocking into the hands of anything like that, bios allows for disabling cores, I was more curious if disabling the cores would compensate for extra heat generated from overclocking, since the cooler is pretty standard. Might even be a stock heatsink/fan, hard to remember since I built this 6 years ago.
I'll try disabling some cores, clocking a bit higher and check the temps, and run some tests with hirens to see how stable it is.

Absolutely not.

Hello Holla Forums,
One day I booted my desktop pc and the cpu fan started spinning at full blast, and it kept spinning that fast as long as the PC was turned on, whenever I would turn it on.
I've had that problem before, but cleaning would fix it.
So, I thought that it either was the fan or the motherboard at fault, and since I didn't have any compatible fan at home, I gave my pc to a repair shop.
I phoned them yesterday and according to them it's the mobo at fault. The temperature readings are fine but the fan controller supposedly can't control the fan. Now they are going to install a more silent fan and give it back to me, because buying a new mobo would be overkill.
Now, my questions are:
-is it possible that a broken fan controller would mean that a fan would run constantly at full blast? I didn't find anything like that on Google
-Should I buy a new mobo? I really hate noise. I currently have Asus H97-Plus.
-Could it be my fault the controller broke?
-Are they scamming me into buying a new fan while the mobo is completely fine?

These might work

Hi all, I'm part of a delayed entry Navy program, and my recruiters require me to text them every week to make sure that I am still eligible to join the Navy. This is obviously very tedious and time consuming, so I was wondering if there is any way to write a script to my recruiters saying something like "Hi, I am still eligible to join the Navy, nothing else to report!" and get it to send to them every Friday. I've searched around and have only found very costly software that seems to be targeted at mass spam advertisers, so I was wondering if anyone has a solution for me, much appreciated.

cron + SMS company like twilo. It would take less than a half an hour to write if you can read documentation. It would cost ~$1.50 a month. If you need to send it from your number you can usually log into your cell phone provider's website and send SMS for free, so script that with LWP::UserAgent or selenium. That would be included in your cell phone plan as long as your provider supports it.

Anyone?

Do you have another sound system like pulseaudio installed?

Maybe the PWM controller for that fan burnt out if it's full blast as soon as you turn on your computer. Check BIOS settings, some let you control fan speed. Not sure what you could have done to cause it yourself.

Only thing to do is figure out which one is winning and make the changes there (hint, probably systemd). Know what you mean though, there's 20 years of backwards compatibility to wade through.

Does putting comments in HTML and CSS code increase the amount of shit people have to download?

So I have a peculiar setup going for a sort-of "entertainment system" style PC where I have an HDTV sitting on top of a closed laptop. The primary input method is an air-mouse, basically its a habdheld keyboard that can also be used as a mouse wii-mote style

My problem is the following;
1. the keyboard only has a backslash "\" and I would like to map it to a proper slash for commands and shit
2. The remote has a power button that works fine in Windows but not on here, I want to map it to sleep mode so I can use the remote again to wake it back up. Again, this worked in Windows but not here. In both cases its just seen as a generic HID device

its Lubuntu by the way

I built my first PC and i hear the fans revving up while idling, anyone know why? i have 5 fans 1 back, 2 top blowing out, 2 front blowing in.

Obviously. The server doesn't process html, css, or javascript, so it can't remove comments. It just sends the whole thing as it is.

Some people strip all comments and sometimes even all whitespace before putting the files on their server, but I'm not a fan of that. It's a giant fuck you to anyone who might be interested in looking at your code.

bump

check your motherboard cd for dedicated fan control software. My ASUS board f. e. has fanxpert and it lets you run it and it automatically tunes your fans for optimal settings. You only have to enter what fan is located on which position.

Otherwise you may be interested in checking your BIOS settings. There might be a section where you can adjust fan settings and probably the temperature limit was set too low (f.e. start full fan speed even at 40 degr. centigrade).

at the grub menu, choose the advanced options, then recovery mode
it logs you in directly as root as long as you have a root password
from there you can go about fixing shit
your other option is just loading up a livecd and reinstalling, or backing up your data from the livecd and THEN reinstalling
this is why it's usually a good idea to have the home partition separate from the root partition, so that you can reinstall the system without formatting everything


I doubt anyone builds websites from scratch any more, last I heard Dreamweaver was the hot tool to use for web design. Or everyone just uses templates now.


It's really not so much of an issue to have comments in HTML/CSS files, because your browser is just reading then and rendering it based on what it reads. Most bloat comes from having scripts for fancy web effects and large resolution images and adverts.

it logs you in directly as root as long as you have a root password
from there you can go about fixing shit
I've tried that too, I couldn't get my sudo permissions back but I'll try once more.

I didn't know this was a thing, thankfully my home partition and root are 2 seperate partitions. I'll look it up. Thanks.

I read somewhere that CSS comments at least get removed on compression.

As the title says, whenever I encode with Handbrake, the colors look slightly "flatter" or washed out.

Is there a GUI based encoder alternative or some option? Tried the fullrange=on, same problem.

This is what I mean by washed out.
The original file looks more vibrant in the colors.

An example of what I mean

I'm just after spending €90 on setting up new phone service plan because they do prepaid mastercards, but at the end of registration I was caught off guard - they asked for my email. I'd been giving them fake details but I had to give them a real email address here and I gave them a gmail one, one that I have my official email address attatched to as a recovery email. I'm sorta pissed off at myself because I had a mail.com address I could've used but I forgot about it. I've since changed the recovery email address on the gmail address I gave them, going to phone tomorrow or monday to have them change my email address I'm gonna say "sorry I made that one up because my real address has a really embarrassing name" or something I don't knowyet, have them change the email on their records.

So I've got two questions here. I'm planning on using the prepaid card for paying for service to basically import drugs((bitcoin can't be used), if package is seized they'll ask courier for my account details, who'll give them the prepaid card, which will lead them to ask for details on my account from the mobile phone service, and they'll give them everything. Will they still have the email I gave today do you think?

If they do, police will go to google request my details. Will google still have record of my original account recovery email?


I know I'm makingshit complicated but I'm kinda panicing at the thought that I've wasted so much money (130 euro) so far and might have to waste another 90. I'm a NEET and this is a massive drain.

I mean will theyhave it after I have them change it

Hi Holla Forums

So, I'm trying to install windows 7 on my laptop from a USB stick, since I have no disk drive. I get to the startup and get the pic related error. Jewgle is giving me nothing usable, so I'm asking here.

I swear if I see one more post saying "Just move it to a USB 2.0 port goy :^)" I'm gonna murder someone

no pic user

use rufus goy

Oops, you're right, forgot pic

already did mate

FFFUUUUUGGGGGG

what ISO are you using? (official one, torrent, etc)
what's the laptop?

Try closing that window, go back to welcome, unplug usb and plug it back in (or even a different port), but without rebooting. /shotinthedark

Laptop is a made to order one from PC specialist. The ISO is burned from an original windows installation disk.
Tried switching ports, no dice.
In the middle of trying to find motherboard drivers

update: I seem to be fucked.

Mobo is an American Megatrends N550RN. I cannot for the life of me find the drivers I need

Could also be a bad burn. Maybe get a W7 torrent from somewhere and just use that?

tried 2 different programs and a torrent. I'm pretty sure my next (and last) option is to open up my PC and laptop case and connect the SATA dvd drive to the laptop

I'm running Slackware in VirtualBox with Window Maker, and it is stuck at 1024x768. Everything looks okay in xorg.conf, I think. What do I do?

In Linux, how do I suspend my computer whenever I turn off my monitor?

I think searching
should give something you want.

To all programmers:
How do you remain sane looking at/writing code?
I was forced to take some kind of Internet of Things class for my degree that is unrelated to programming whatsoever and I found out that code is insanity inducing Cthulu shit to me.

It's a puzzle. All day long it's nothing but puzzles. Programming is solving puzzles. Programing something new is like diving into a Zelda dungeon. Some of the puzzles you've seen before and know exactly what to do, some of the puzzles only look like you've seen them before but they're actually different, and some puzzles are like nothing you've ever seen before.

At the end of the day you've solved some puzzles, and not solved some puzzles, but keep at it day after day and you end up with something that works.

Trying to setup a Linux install in read-only mode to put into my living room as a sort of web browsing and Netflix machine that people can't fuck up when they're over

Anyhow I already know how to do this but I want to make sure Firefox is completely initialized before setting the root to read-only

Is it safe to just delete home/.mozilla or is Firefox going to be a pain in the ass when I do?

Alright I'm starting to pull my hair because I have absolutley no clue what to do. The latest fix I tried is to add my username as sudo I followed this

Then restart whilst holding shift on the keyboard to load grub menu.

Select recovery mode from the grub menu.

Select drop to root shell from the recovery menu.

Use the following command to remount the drive mount -o rw,remount /

Where can I take my PC to get it fixed because I can't seem to find a fix online.

Now type adduser username sudo replacing username with your user name ie. 'adduser phil sudo'

You should now see a message saying 'adding user' followed by 'done'.

Type shutdown -r now to restart the computer.

EDIT: If it is telling you that user xxx does not exist, first you can use the following command to list users and make sure that you have the correct username

ls /home

The other option is add a new user, from recovery mode using the following commands :

useradd username -m -s /bin/bash
passwd username
adduser username sudo

Again replacing username with your desired username.

But I don't see a drop to root shell in recovery mode, I assume this is strictly ubuntu?

Any cons to using server-side includes on HTML (SHTML)? For the server? For the web surfer?

I can't tell from your post how exactly you want FF to behave, but have you considered a kiosk type distro?
Porteus is good.
One simple approach would be to just have it boot straight to a "user" desktop. Limit that user's abilities by the groups they belong to. Don't use read only to "protect" anything except your media files (movies, mp3 etc.) Make them ro and owned by another (inaccessible) user.
If you're really going to leave hooligans alone with your HTPC, you should think of the user they run under as disposable. It takes 10 seconds to make a new user if they fuck up their own home directory.
Also, consider just having the system boot to an interface like Kodi. IDK if you can configure it to disallow exiting to desktop or not. It probably has a netflix plugin by now.

Just to clear things up
>tried numerous commands from chown to installing lxde supposedly I can log in with another environment from the command line CTRL+ALT+F1

I'd reinstall but I stupidly forgot to backup some of my stuff. Tried recovering files from a live cd, but my home directory is encrypted and I don't have the passphrase. What I need to do is bypass that could not update .ICEauthority and let me log in, but I can't do anything in the command line because pic related. Hope that was clear and concise as possible.

Why the fuck does my wifi do nothing under OpenBSD, when under Linux I can associate with my neighbor's AP from my fucking basement?
MACHINE:
T61 with AR5212 Mini PCI wireless chip. It's listed as supported (ATH(4). The system sees the chip, and it even sees a whole bunch of wireless networks....all listed as 0% signal strength. 'what the actual fuck.
On my other thinkpad, the Intel 3945ABG wifi chip worked fine under OpenBSD I guess because installed the proprietary blob. What the fuck is up with my ath0?

I would suggest trying chroot/arch-chroot from any Livecd/Arched based so that you can access the system partition and then hopefully reset the password.

Or try to delete .ICE and hope that resets it.

So you're saying I can reset the password on my encrypted home drive?
I've been running mint for a year but never delved into the deeper workings of it, never figured out the complex stuff, is this an easy process or do I have to find a guide to do this? It's crucial I don't fuck anything up because I can't lose my data. I almost want to livestream me fixing this shit and have people telling me what to do.


I already tried rm .ICEauthority it says no such file or directory.

I went into recovery mode and it's read only, so I tired to remount it to read and write with this
mount -o remount,rw /
It doesn't do anything, am I supposed to put something after /?

I do have fan control software in an app center from my motherboard manufacture and i can calibrate and adjust fan speeds with it. my motherboard is a GA-Z270X-Ultra Gaming and my CPU is an i3 7100. in another mobo app "System Information Viewer" i see the CPU V-core go up, then tempeture goes up to like 40+ Celsius and thats when the fan start revving

After opening up the side panel and inspecting it with a flashlight i noticed that it sounds like the revving is coming from only one fan from the top and that fan is connected into "cpu_opt"header witch is under the "cpu_fan" header. i read my mobo manual and it says its a "water cooling cpu fan header". should i just unplug this and assume that my PC is working fine?

I`l clarity what I meant: 0) Boot up a LiveCD/Arch based one, 1)Mount your system partition manually e.g. mkdir OldRoot && mount /dev/sda1 OldRoot/ && chroot/arch-chroot OldRoot/ 2) passwd $username and change the password, 3) exit, then umount OldRoot and reboot.

What's the best solution if I wanted to set a single computer up to share it's resources to all other computers in my local network?

The basic idea here would be to minimize cost and debugging issues by centralizing all computer activities to the one instead of having several computers for specific people and purposes. Then when anyone needs to use a computer they use a smaller, more efficient device (like a Beaglebone or Pi) to access the beefier computer for the heavy lifting. This would also centralize data for archiving purposes which is becoming somewhat of an issue for me.

My initial idea is I would set up a Linux host (Debian for maximum stability or if I must Ubuntu) and then set up a Windows Server in a VM, sharing the Linux host for use in daily routines and things like archiving and sharing the VM separately for gaymen. Obviously I would add a shitty older video card I have for the Linux machine simply so it can be used properly and then pass my gaming GPU to the server VM. Then on the VM I would enable things like RemoteFX.

Is this the best way to do it? Is there a better way perhaps? I am looking for the lowest cost solution with the best performance, but obviously being able to game at least at a comfortable 60 FPS is a must.

Does rm -rf / --no-preserve-root recursively delete into directories of other file systems? This question has been bothering me for a while and I can't find a straight answer.

Did you mean to say partitions?
"/" represents the top of ONE filesystem. Directories under "/" may exist on other partitions, but are part of one filesystem. Why would your command affect a separate, different filesystem?
Also, why can't you just test it out to see for yourself?

Is there a way to by-pass a complete locked down Windows 7 computer? I am not "allowed" to install any programs on it, not even a new browser with ad-block. It blocks every attempts to open any .exe it has not approved. Boot is secured aswell.

Try using a computer that isn't in your middle school library.

1.
man xmodmap

2.
LXDE uses Openbox as its window manager. Openbox can also handle global shortcuts. Find out how the power button's keysym is named using xev and add a keyboard shortcut definition that runs systemctl suspend on that keysym to LXDE's openbox.conf.
man openbox

Only one way to find out!

If the package is intercepted they will let it be delivered to its destination and wait at the delivery point to bust whoever attempts to pick it up.

I know it's my fault for using windows, but this is unacceptable. I could probably fix this, but I'd rather not bother. I'm considering "upgrading" to windows 10, since I'm assuming it has better support than this. If I turn off the tracking options, is there even any difference between the two, privacy-wise? Should I even bother with the updates at all?

I'm hearing a faint noise from what I guess is my hard drive; a sort of clicking that begins with some sort of intensive activity like opening a program or refreshing a tab in Firefox; a sort of faint click; not a hearty clunk like I've heard from dying hard drives before but a ticking sound as the computer "thinks". Is the drive about kaput or is that normal behavior?

maybe your needle is parking too much? try this:
hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda

I've been running this all through my brain and there are holes everywhere in my plan to set up completely anonymous method of getting drugs. I can't access certain sites using Tor properly. I just tried creating new mail.com email address for purpose of makingit just seem like at accident (I said [email protected]/* */ but I meant [email protected]/* */) but they require you to go through a google-made anti spam check, which conveniently doesn't work with tor. Am I right to think google are the kind of people who'd have a massive database or ip addresses that authorities in europe can access freely or am I turning into aschizo?

It's just all falling together as this beautiful convenient method of ensuring no one's anonymous.

The crux of my plan was banking on that the cctv footage in the shop I boought card from getswiped every week or month so they can't get my face from date and time of purchase footage. I even shaved my head just in case. I'malso now no longer satisfied with using the same phone just different sim for illegal shitbecause they've probably set up a way of monitoring that too.

not likely, they'd have to be waiting around all day and it would have to be done in conjunction with the courier's cooperation across a(loose) international border. Technically customs would only seize in it Northern Ireland.

I think I need to just forget about plans for a while and then start with something light, just import smallquantities that would obviously be for personal use. I wanted to order 100gramsof weed tho and the authorities have a habit of estimating the price of say 100grams of trimmings that I buy for 150€ at 2500€ street value.

Why not try it and see what happens?

Does it make sense to use Debian (stable in particular) while patching some of their packages and also building more recent git versions of few others?
I really like Debian for multiple reasons, but their website is really hysterical about not mixing different versions of software. Is it really so bad? Of course I don't mean to mix whole releases, like stable and sid, just add my own patch here, and use a git version there.

bump please help, I'm on the last step and just need to modify my host, port and authentication parameters in the cmd_list, I'm just not sure what that means/where to find it.

Why and what are this software/application doing on my android?
My android phone doesn't come with google, so therefor no google play, i needed google play to get apps safely, ironically i installed google play from apk file from xda develope site, now i got this software which wasn't there before, what can i do to remove it? i can only disable it

I work with military related tech, that is why they are paranoid.

Alright I'll look more into this and see if it works, just hope I don't screw up any more. Thanks.

You should already have rooted your phone. After that you can remove whatever you want.

Unrelated but I acquired (no pay) a All-In-One Dell PC in order to install Windows so I can run ANSYS for school project. I have been on Linux for about a year and holy shit I forgot how much headache that fucking this is. What are some essential scripts/apps to minimize tracking? I found win7sans and WinSpyBlocker

github.com/pfiser/win7sans

github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker

also found winreg tweaks but not clear statement on what exactly the aim of all those tweaks is

github.com/CHEF-KOCH/regtweaks

Why not use a VM without networking? In any case disable the networking and only use Windows for that one thing you need it for.

ANSYS is very resource intensive when running simulations. My 2008 Thinkpad does not have the resources to attempt this. I am also under a little time crunch due to putting this off, so right now gotta do that which gets the job done.

Anyone know how to make it so that youtube-dl downloads videos from unsupported sites?

" As a matter of policy (as well as legality), youtube-dl does not
include support for services that specialize in infringing copyright.
As a rule of thumb, if you cannot easily find a video that the service
is quite obviously allowed to distribute (i.e. that has been uploaded
by the creator, the creator's distributor, or is published under a free
license), the service is probably unfit for inclusion to youtube-dl."

Usually people have to ask for a site to be supported before native support is added. But isn't youtube-dl free software? Can't anyone just modify the source code to permit downloads from any site?

You would have to implement it for each site individually because each site works differently. It shouldn't be that hard actually, as long as you find a way to download the videos manually. Then you just need to write an algorithm that does the same thing.
I never used youtube-dl though. But I would actually expect that there already exist forks with support for those sites. Usually when devs refuse to implement something, especially when it comes to small utilities, you immediately get multiple forks.

it supports a lot of porn sites, so you can probably just ignore this statement. Here's a coding masterpiece snippet I found:
class YouPornIE(InfoExtractor): _VALID_URL = r'https?://(?:www\.)?youporn\.com/watch/(?P\d+)/(?P[^/?#&]+)' _TESTS = [{ 'url': 'youporn.com/watch/505835/sex-ed-is-it-safe-to-masturbate-daily/', 'md5': '3744d24c50438cf5b6f6d59feb5055c2', 'info_dict': { 'id': '505835', 'display_id': 'sex-ed-is-it-safe-to-masturbate-daily', 'ext': 'mp4', 'title': 'Sex Ed: Is It Safe To Masturbate Daily?', 'description': 'Love & Sex Answers: bit.ly/DanAndJenn -- Is It Unhealthy To Masturbate Daily?', 'thumbnail': r're:^https?://.*\.jpg$', 'uploader': 'Ask Dan And Jennifer', 'upload_date': '20101221', 'average_rating': int, 'view_count': int, 'comment_count': int, 'categories': list, 'tags': list, 'age_limit': 18,},
The extractor folder has the rest of the native supported sites, you would probably just adapt an existing solution for your 'illegal' site.
github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/youporn.py
github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/

I did eet. For anyone curious, I renabled the rc-local service, and edited the rc.local script.

How old is your distro? You just gave me memories from my first encounter with linux.

What is the typical/best method of making extension-less URLs? I want to turn

butt.org/butts.html
butt.org/butts.php
butt.org/butts.cgi
etc.

into just

butt.org/butts

Do you know where I can find the directory where the extractors are located?

I tried /usr/lib/*
etc/*
And couldn't find anything. Am I supposed to make the extractor folder myself? The way I installed it was using
sudo wget yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

I fixed it and found the folder by just compiling youtube-dl myself. However there is an issue in line 78 of this python file which is the extractor of the site I'm trying to download from.
github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/openload.py
File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/openload.py", line 78, in _real_extract
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'a'
Anyone know enough python to know what's up with this?

I found out that sometimes it outputs this error instead
File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/openload.py", line 89, in _real_extract
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'c'

So it seems that these two lines causes problems

On Debian:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/youtube_dl

Disregard these posts. I found a fix. Thank you everyone.

Wait a second what exactly will resetting password accomplish? Are you talking about the login password? I know it, I can log in I just get logged off because ICEauthority is fucking shit up. this accomplish? I'm sorry I haven't the slightest clue how remounting the partition will get rid of ICEauthority. I don't know anyone who's a master of linux, nor do I know where to go. I can't lose my data.

Can't you just remove the html part from the filename? It shouldn't make a difference if you use a UNIX system.
y-you aren't running a website on w-windows, right user?

Unfortunately that only works locally. Whatever shitty services my web page server seems to be using, when asked to open files without attachments the web browser will just spit out the literal code in the file instead of display it as HTML or whatever.

What sort of server are you using, user? Does it not check MIME type, or what?

Whatever Hostmonster uses. It appears to be Linux and I'm gonna guess Apache.

Any CSS gurus in here? Is creating a top navigation bar with the 'float' property really the only way you can make a dropdown menu properly align with its item?

hi user
just give me a moment while I bring up your account
please standby, I'm checking on your issue
ok one moment

do this user:
1. edit the .htaccess in the documentroot of your butt.org domain
2. add a line like this: RewriteRule /butts /butts.cgi
that will change the URL locally, while Apache is processing it. You can be much, much clever about this, including only changing URLs to include an extension when the file exists.

in general though, user, what customers do on our platform is rewrite *all* traffic to index.php, and then index.php figures out how to handle the URL it's given. Take a look at these common wordpress rules for example:
# BEGIN WordPressRewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]# END WordPress
In english:
1. with the site running out mydomain.com/ (instead of /blog/ or whatever)...
2. don't touch the URL if it's for index.php
3. if the URL doesn't point to an existing file or an existing directory, then stick /index.php on the front of it

your server is CentOS 6, running cPanel.

user are you still there?
ok user I'm going to close this chat
if I was helpful or if you have other feedback please consider replying to the email that you'll get afterwards
bye!

oh u

I've been looking this shit up and .htaccess is one of the methods I've read about. So that's generally the way people do it? Problem is my domain doesn't have any file of the sort.

just create it. Apache reads it on every request, effectively. If you're not sure if it's even working or not, you can make something easy to verify like
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} wtfsrslyRewriteRule .* duckduckgo.com/?q=omg [R=302,L]
always use R=302 for stuff like this. 301 redirects will live in your browser until forever, like AIDs. You can use curl to see the redirect without actually using it, also. You can put nonsense in the redirect instead of a site like duckduckgo, if you use curl, since 302 redirects are actually just tiny webpages with a notable header and a link.

with that rule you would browse to butts.org/?wtfsrsly or butts.org/?omg=wtfsrsly , anything with that in query.

Some images in case that isn't clear. I can get this shit working properly if I set the navigation bar to float left or right. Problem is I want it centered and can't figure out how to do that with float. I'd like to know if there's another way to align the dropdown properly without float.

you can get it aligned, but not centered?
try getting it aligned then, and then adding a translate to center it.
may be easier if all of the dropdowns have the same width

What I want:

oh.
put the entire picture in a fixed-position transparent div. center the menu in a sub-div within it. align drop-downs relative to the big fixed div. then do something to prevent the rest of the page from flowing under the menu; lame way: put a normal div there, sized to match the menu
sorry I actually suck at CSS

Well this is a lame fucking hack but it works:

.main-container {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
.fixer-container {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}




Floated element
Floated element
Floated element


Doesn't keep my navigation bar items center-distributed on smaller browsers though; instead they're stuck left-aligned. Still wish there was a way to do this without the float property.

I take that back, that hack still doesn't quite center it properly anyway.

Goddamn I'm a genius, looks like it was as simple as setting

position:relative;
left:0;

The left:0 is the really important part, to ensure the drop-down menu items set their horizontal position relative to their parent element. I don't know why it was acting up but that's what you need to declare when it is.

In other words the answer is yes, you can align dropdown menus with their parent navigation bar item without using the float property.

This is a normal amount of bending, right? Note that the screws are bottomed out. I'm posting from it now, just thought I'd check.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'd personally have it a little on the tight side vs have no thermal compression at all.

Thanks, anons.

Do most people use server-side includes (SHTML) on their websites? This seems like such an important tool for mass-applying headers and footers to web pages and I'm surprised I've never heard of it until now.

Where can i read up on obscure youtube mechanics, like how or why they shadowban users, the maximum up & downvotes per minute, how the comment section works, etc.

That's wishful thinking, user. Demand always creates supply and the wealthy will always find someone willing to do their bidding for a buck or two. You'd have to make politics irrelevant to drive big money out, because as long as buying politicians pays for itself, wealhy people will buy politicians.

yes

My gaming PC is on Windows 7. I know Windows 10 has a bad reputation but I really want to play KI with my friend that bought an Xbone. Anyone manage to keep 10 from leaking metadata and running on the classic shell? I'm considering installing it for the first time and dual booting it with Gentoo.

What I mean is can I get rid of all that touch screen bullshit and just run it in classic mode like Windows 7? I just want the usual desktop, the old school start button, and no interaction with the metro stuff unless I need to use the store.

I want a webpage reader/renderer incapable of browsing the web, for viewing html pages offline. Does such software exist and if not what's the most foolproof way of ensuring an ordinary browser is incapable of connecting to any network?

Hi, Holla Forums. I'm having problems setting up a website with virtual hosts, in Apache2 with bind.
Let's say I want three diferent pages, (www.)pron.com, (www.)ass.pron.com and (www.)tits.pron.com and the server IP is 192.168.10.5. I already configured apache2, but now I don't know how to set up the DNS conf files to work with this. Anyone can help me?

Try installing LPROF and messing around with it.
Or try reinstalling xorg.
Uninstall redshift/flux if you have.

Just firewall a browser

This is my /etc/bind/pron.com.db file:
$TTL 86400@ IN SOA pron.com. root.pron.com. ( 1 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 86400 ) ; Negative Cache TTL;@ IN NS www.pron.com.www IN A 192.168.10.5ass IN A 192.168.10.5tits IN A 192.168.10.5
and this is my /etc/bind/db.10.168.192 file
$TTL 86400@ IN SOA www.pron.com. root.pron.com. ( 1 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 86400 ) ; Negative Cache TTL;@ IN NS www.pron.com.5 IN PTR www5 IN PTR ass5 IN PTR tits
I don't know shit about bind9, I think I have to put some CNAME in there. Right now, ass.pron.com delivers me the same content as pron.com,

i sent bitcoins with too low of a transaction fee ("recommended" estimated within 25 blocks my ass), and i can't abandon the transaction from my wallet. the transaction is still unconfirmed. i rebroadcast it to the network on a few sites but don't know if that did anything or not. is there anything else I can do? are my coins lost in the void forever or do they get returned to me after 3 days of being unconfirmed like i heard someone say?

Shouldn't have to do anything special with DNS. Try using A records for each site with the same IP if those PTRs aren't working and you're sure apache is set up right.

Is there any downside to enabling adaptive inter-frame spacing on a local network? My router is pretty good and runs openwrt, my download speed is 1.7MB/s and my upload speed is 125KB/s. I rarely do anything between computers on the same network and when I do it is a FTP file transfer. It seems to me any possible reliability issues don't really matter because there is never a lot of data going around, the router is great and I might possibly benefit from the slightly decreased latency.

I have Vista and OpenSUSE installed on the same machine - how do I access some of the Linux files through Windows? I dun see em anywhere.

Linux uses file systems that are generally incompatible with windows but there are some programs which allow you to retrieve files if your filesystem is any EXT version. If you really want to share files between the two you should look into formatting a partition in something like EXFAT and putting the files you want to share between both partitions there.

How do I fix sudo from recovery mode? I get pic related, I've tried following this askubuntu.com/questions/304212/how-to-solve-sudo-etc-sudoers-d-is-world-writable/745563#745563


But when I enter mount -rw -o remount / it does nothing. If no one on the internet can help me, where can I find help from an expert?d

That depends on which filesystem the Linux partition(s) uses. Care to share your /etc/fstab ?

I think that should be --rw (two dashes).

I currently run bunsenlabs linux, which uses openbox as itś WM and tint2 as its taskbar, on my laptop and have riced my desktop to hell and back like the autist I am. The ugly icons from displayed on the tint2 systray bother me, but I need to have easy access to them. Is it possible to create a macro key that runs a bash script that edits the tint2 config file so I can easily hide the systray?

I just use a storage drive formatted to NTFS.

You can run a command or make a menu item with just about any key shortcut through Openbox configuration.

Personally I prefer to just use LXDE (basically just Openbox + LXPanel and PCManFM) and steal a bunch of Bunsenlabs' really nice Openbox scripts.

How do I set up gitlab or gitgud so that I can download text documents with wget and then run them on my computer?

What's the laziest way to set up a server? I want it done tonight, so it's gotta be free and easy. Can my x60 serve the function of being a server if I leave it on all the time (until I replace it with something better)?

what kind of server

I would almost explicitly use it for sharing .tex (or .txt if that's easier) files between a few (3-4, I can lower it 2 if that matters though) household computers. so whatever kind of server would be appropriate for that, minimally.

I mean everything would be text files basically, but the extensions would vary from .tex, .cpp, .lsp, etc.. Clearly, I'm retarded and don't know if this might make things easier for me (as opposed to .mp3, .mp4, etc..)

owncloud
you just want to create an in home dropbox that doesn't go online and I have done that before
would take like an hour if I had my script on me

I'll try it out. If all else fails I'm willing to pay someone here $50 to fix this.

FTP server?
Will let you transfer any file and most linux distros togheter with windows have FTP support built into the file manager.

do you think you might have it on you at some point tonight?

I'm looking for it now
I think it's on my laptop

make an Ubuntu VM while I look for the stuff, Server version will be fine

I found it, you still here?

yes sir

I'll check this out if I have trouble with anons script, thanks other user

alright, I'm giving it to you in a pastebin because the last time I tried to post it here 8ch.net/poltech/3.html I could not combine /www and /var file path and then later the thread broke and hasn't been fixed since
it will be up on paste bin for 2 weeks
pastebin.com/7HHAqHZN

it's not a real script but a draft of one, I usually just copy sections out of it into the terminal directly so save it as a .sh and it should look right
the last time I updated it was late december

any questiosn make sure to ask

I actually don't think that was my most recent version because I think I switched to debian on C.H.I.P. and started using the preassembled PPAs here download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/owncloud/

it will probably take you a bit to sort out the libraries but everything should be there

actually I'm dog tired and I gotta sleep for work tonight, I'll check back on you in a few hours after I wake up

alright awesome ty user

I tried it and got first pic. I'm not sure how to scroll up and see the rest of it.

Second pic is what happens when I try to install lxde from another account I've created. Seems I have access to sudo but with chown I get permission denied.

3rd pic it says that and asks for the password for that account, but it fails to install and I get second pic. I'm willing to pay someone $50 if they can help me figure this out. I'm really sorry for this, it's just I'm desperate and I don't know where else to turn to.

How did you get into this mess?

Not picking on you, it's just important for the diagnosis.

Also, one more question, are you the OP on the link you provided?

I accidentally chown when trying to install a package and forgot to backup some of my stuff. I don't care if I fix this, I just need to log in, backup my data and reinstall. Already tried to backup my stuff with a livecd but my home folder's encrypted and I don't have the passphrase.


No, I startpaged that, I've starpaged a lot of solutions and none of them worked.

I just re-read this and I do have my home drive as a seperate partition, would it be possible to reinstall linux and save my home partition?


Here's a quick summary of what's wrong.

Ok, I've never used chown before, but fucked up a couple weeks ago when I chmod'd myself out.

I'm probably more retarded than you are, so I don't know how much I can help, but basically,


But, to start things off, you can access root successfully? have you poked around in visudo at all?

mean to say but basically, by chown is "used to change the owner and group of files, directories and links. ... new_owner is the user name or the numeric user ID (UID) of the new owner, and object is the name of the target file, directory or link"


Do you know what the permissions were changed to?

No, you already know more than me with visudo and root. I'm unsure how to log in as root, I've tried from the command line when I CTRL+ALT+F1 at the login screen, I type root, it says root's not installed, I tried installing but it didn't work. I don't think I tried root from the recovery menu, but I wouldn't know what to do if I got access to root. Also have no idea what visudo is.


No I don't know what permissions were changed.

I'm taking shots in the dark, but when you type sudo visudo you should be opened up to a terminal with text, scroll down and do you see something like this?

alternatvely, you could try just running:
chmod 700 /home/user

to set the permission of your home directory to be accessible.

whereuser is your user name

I'll give these a go, thanks.

Should I do this from recovery mode? Or from the command line at the login?

Have you tried

mount -o remount,rw /

instead of the command you used on step 2? Source:

wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode

step 8

I would try from recovery mode first, sounds less dangerous lol

No, but I'll try it out. Give me 5 minutes.

I'm rooting for you user, following step 8 with step 9 would probably be a good idea too

This is what I get when I sudo visudo


I've followed that guide before word for word but when I enter mount -o remount, rw / I get nothing, but when I enter mount -o remount, rw/ (with NO SPACE between rw/) I get first pic here. I can't scroll up.
Thanks, I need some words of encouragement. I'm not giving up on this, I can save my data.

I don't want to mess around with this until I'm sure it's safe.

So my pci slot is 2.0 and my gtx 770 died. And plan on getting a 1060 3gb evga card would not having a 3.0 pci slot effect its performance a lot or a little

Holy shit why doesn't this work? I've already checked and made sure that they're all at the top of their chains in iptables -L, I've already saved the tables and rebooted the machine, and it STILL DOES NOTHING.

what about when you page down from there?

why do you think it doesn't work?
use 'iptables -xnvL' to get packet/byte counts per rule, and add rules without -j to get counts without affecting anything
use iptables-save to see the entire firewall in context
this time it's fine but don't do -I in a list like that, it's harder to understand.
if you're looking at apache logs and getting confused, remember that apache lies; use ngrep to see what's actually going on

howd it work out?

Is XP still viable?
I know microshit dropped support for it years ago, but what does that mean exactly? That newer software won't be compatible? Do updates web-browsers reject it?
I know a lot of non-IT workplaces still use it. Hell, there's one on my desk right now that I have to use for emails and some data entry. And all the PCs at the factory I used to work at a couple of years ago still had XP as well.
I'm only asking this because I'm trying to revitalize this old laptop I have and right now I have linux installed, but I'm not happy with it. While it was kinda fun at first trying to figure out how the system works and discovering all the tricks and software tools made me feel like a kid again, it's become a royal pain in the ass with browsers constantly crashing, Flash and other software refusing to be installed, games not working even with Vine, online tutorials with either missing a step or not accounting for my missing a library or something...
This laptop is no powerhouse and I'm not really planning on doing anything grand on it aside from shitposting on Holla Forums, watching streams on putlocker or youtube and playing some old games.

I know there's nothing holding my stupidity back, I'm just asking because I'm curious as to what microsoft dropping their support actually entails.

It's technically still viable. But you don't get things like SSD optimization and a self-defragging filesystem like you do with Windows 7 and up

I recommend installing the Unofficial Service Pack 4 if you want to stick with Windows XP. That way you patch up some more common security exploits as of mid 2016. Otherwise I sincerely recommend Windows 8.1 with something like Classic Shell so you can still get official Microsoft support without having to go Windows 10 Which I personally use and find nothing wrong with

I still run XP just fine for vidya and have for a decade. The only issues that have come up only very recently is that in the last 6 months or so I have seen a few video game developers finally ditch 32-bit support. Haven't seen anything like that for other applications though.

The last few months I've spent most of my time on Linux, and I use Lubuntu in particular full time on my laptop. Curious why your experience was so poor with it, is it just the shitty game support in Wine?

I'll admit it's mostly my own incompetence and my being "spoiled" by the install wizards. I'm used to being familiar with my environment and remembering how to look up some mundane piece of information on my own machine gets frustrating fast. It's also an old machine, from 2003 I think (Inspiron 1300 with some extra RAM I managed to dig up). RuTor has a linux gaming sextion with neat little packages that you simply extract and play and some useful script instruction notepads. Some of these still don't work though, like Hitman 1 and 2 over here throwing up a fatal error. I tried changing the resolution or playing it windowed/fullscreen, but nothing helps. At this point I was just too fed up to deal with this bullshit. Maybe there's an easy fix, maybe I just have the wrong GPU or lack the proper proprietary drivers, but this is after spending a day trying to compile Minitube player and another two trying to add Flash functionality to Opera.

I'm new to the BTC world, I sent a transaction 2 days ago and it was unconfirmed up until a few hours ago. Now it just shows it was pruned, what the fuck is going on? The payment still hasn't gone through either, and it did have a fee.

blockchain.info/tx-index/da6b93bfb9d3e116fb475cf9288222c1f5d8c4d780fd6c0f3ad0d779d85ac7f8

Weird, now the link isn't showing as pruned. I'm not sure what happened, why is my transaction taking this long though? I had even changed the fee higher than the default.

To show that I'm serious about paying someone $50, here's a pic and timestamp. Easiest $50 you'll make.

and include all IPs that show up and while you're at it block all google CIDR
check out DNS leaks. use custom WAN and LAN DNS and make sure your OS doesn't fallback to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 (jewgle)


Yes
They dropped consumer support. If you got WXP military edition you'll have longer support but doubt it's got everything you need... or have access to such resources
Depends on the dev releases of every software but you can still use wine windows or oracle VM or vmware thinstall (portableshits that have all required deps)

I guess you fell for the mint meme right? Try gentoo and arch then install the latest browsers + peppermint.
Because I think you still play 'flash games' install qupzilla and rekonq which have built-in flash support
You must have all versions of directX installed (up to compatible version depending on yout OS) including VC++ for vidya libs.

Before you worry about that, you should be more worried about the universal dropping of 32-bit. If your laptop doesn't support 64-bit then you might consider replacing your main toaster.

visudo uses your $EDITOR to open sudoers; what visudo contributes to that is locking and checking so that you don't stupidly break everyone's access.

Why is setting up proper graphics in kvm+qemu such a fucking pain in the ass?

The options for emulating the VGA card are
-vga [std|cirrus|vmware|qxl|xenfb|tcx|cg3|virtio|none]
all of which either don't work with Windows or are shit, besides qxl which can give me pretty good performance ONLY if used in conjunction with SPICE (otherwise it's shit, even with the driver).
And what I mean by shit is not being able to fucking move or resize a simple window without it lagging, tearing and leaving trails all over the place.
I don't want to play shitty games, I just want to make the OS usable.

Now I'm trying to connect to my VM via SPICE to somewhat increase performance.
I've installed the qxl driver and the Windows Guest Tools from spice-space.org/download.html
and took the parts from this script wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/Windows_guest#Initialization_script
and plugged them into my own:
#!/bin/shSPICE_PORT=5902qemu-system-x86_64 \ -enable-kvm \ -cpu host,hv_relaxed,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vapic,hv_time \ -smp 8,cores=4,threads=2,sockets=1 \ -m 4G \ -vga qxl \ -soundhw ac97 \ -usbdevice tablet \ -net nic -net user,hostname=windowsvm \ -sdl \ -drive file=$HOME/qemu/win7.img,index=0,media=disk,format=raw,cache=none,if=virtio \ -spice port=${SPICE_PORT},addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing \ -device virtio-serial \ -chardev spicevmc,id=vdagent,name=vdagent \ -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 \ -daemonize#exec spicy --title win7 -h 127.0.0.1 -p ${SPICE_PORT}

and for some reason I can't connect (pic related).

I tried following the arch wiki also (wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#SPICE)
but it wasn't very helpful.

There's really little documetntation and forum threads on this topic in general.

I'm guessing the problem lies with the Windows guest, although I should have installed everything I needed for this.

I'm new to linux, I don't want to mess with visudo until I know wwhat I'm doing.

I typed sudo visudo. I can get it on film if you'd like.

Managed to log into my home account but when I do cinnamon crashes and I don't have access to my home folder. Tried accessing my private data, entered passphrase it crashes.

Wrong pics.

Alright, after the shit that came out today I'm done with running Windows on bare metal for good. My NAS and notebook have run Debian forever, but it's time I set it up on my desktop; however I still want to be able to play vidya. How difficult is it to set up hardware passthrough to play games in a VM? Will my hardware even support it? I'm also planning on moving to Ryzen in the next couple of months, will this affect anything? Thanks, and sorry for the long post.

Shouldn't be too hard for a longtime Debian user, you need to configure some stuff manually like blacklisting the GPU for Linux, so you can use it on the Windows guest system. Check different distro wikis like arch and then it's trial and error and lot of patience. Have a look at qemu for the virtualization. Make sure to add known spying Microsoft IPs to the Linux firewall if you need internet connection on Windows. Your hardware is more than fine, your host linux system will use the integrated Intel graphics so you can pass through your external GPU. Ryzen should support KVM, but usually Linux support for new stuff isn't that good in the beginning, maybe you have to wait a bit longer.

Why do I get redirected to sys.8ch.net instead of regular 8ch.net page when I post with JS disabled?

Thanks! This gives me a good place to start.

Did you actually do what the message is asking you? What does apt-get say?

Underrated post.

Of course. Old integrated shit vs. new discrete card, there is no comparison. Enjoy the gaymes.

I just checked and the 4670k doesn't support VT-d, so I guess I can't do passthrough anyway. Damn.

Kek, blind leading the blind.


mount -o remount,rw / and mount --rw -o remount / do the same thing.


Note "remount,rw" needs to be written with no spaces within.

You are not supposed to get any message when it works. It only throws errors when it doesn't. Running mount with no arguments should show it worked.

Yes, you might need to run Windows in a VM, as Windows 7 is not supported there on bare metal. I'm assuming you're not homosexual enough to want Botnet 10.


Intel being the jews they are turn off VT-d support on unlocked "small socket" parts. If you want VT-d, you either need to buy a locked CPU or shell out $$$ for a "big socket" system. Kikery levels off the chart.
Get that Ryzen system already.

I just built a PC for the first time and installed Windows 7. Now I'm having a serious issue.

I can't connect to the internet because I can't access my network drivers.
I don't have a disc drive and there are no ethernet cables I can use.
I've tried copying the drivers and utilities CD to a USB stick, but I can't get the computer to recognize my USB.

What the fuck do I do?

The only shekels youtube earns is from ads they show you. Install a solid adblocker and they won't make a penny from you.

He meant an alternative video platform, not programs to view the same old one.

Lemme guess: Sky/Kabylake or Ryzen? Windows 7 does not support those platforms (including shit like USB controllers). There are workarounds, depending on which do you have. CPU and mobo model, please.

CPU: Intel Pentium G4620
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H

I knew the CPU didn't play nicely with Win7 but people told me as long as I had a dedicated GPU, I'd be okay.

Quick question for when you respond: If I install Windows 8.1 instead, will that solve these problems?
I can honestly go either way on the OS.

That's Kaby Lake. It doesn't have official Windows 7/8 support, you "need" to install Windows 10.

Welp.

Might as well start asking now:
What are the programs that make Windows 10 useable as an OS and get rid of (most) of the spyware?

I means that security is swiss cheese, there are well-known open holes which will never be patched and your system will be pwned and added to some botnet IN THE ORIGINAL MEANING OF THE WORD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE within minutes of connecting it to the internet. As long as you don't do that, it's fine.


user, the GPU in that laptop is utter crap. It doesn't even support OpenGL 2, which Wine these days pretty much requires as a minimum for DirectX emulation.

You need to enable EHCI emulation in UEFI setup. If there is no such option, update mobo firmware to a newer version.


You can't. It's botnet forever.

An alternative workaround is to boot a live Linux distro from a USB stick and use it to copy the needed drivers from USB to the HDD.

This one might or might not work:
downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Controller-Driver-for-Intel-8-9-100-Series-and-Intel-C220-C610-Chipset-Family

8.1 should at least see the USB ports out of the box. Ofc it's just as unsupported as 7.

Post output of
apt-get check

How 'unsupported' are we talking?
What kind of issues can I expect to run into?

How feasible is it to run a modern OS on a Pentium II machine? Suggestions?

What's a good Virtual machine to run Kali Linux on? I tried Oracle Virtual Box and it didn't want to work so any other alternatives would be appreciated

Who the fuck knows. It should work, but if something doesn't, Microshaft doesn't care and you're on your own. Same as with 7.

Right now I suggest you make a live Linux USB like I said in
Once you install all the drivers you got with the mobo, 7 should work fine.

Grab the Debian net-installer and do not get a DE. After installation is done install IceWM. I've ran this setup on comparable hardware with as little as 80MBs of RAM. I also recommend plenty of SWAP to avoid memory issues

XP is the last Windows that would run on this. Newer versions require SSE support.

As for linux, pretty feasible, I guess. You would need to upgrade RAM to run a graphical desktop (half a gig at least, more is better) and forget about viewing most modern crap-ladden websites. However it could be a usable office and shitposting machine.

I'm trying to use Watch with MPV, but when I try to play a video with mpv from firefox nothing happens. I get the following entry in the browser log:

What's the difference between >>>/g/ and Holla Forums?

Mods on /g/ were originally massive faggots, so people ended up moving here.

Would it be at all possible to reinstall Mint while saving my home folder? I'm afraid if I do I still won't get access to it. I'm incredibly sorry for being so bothersome I just don't know anywhere else that's as knowledgeable as Holla Forums

I've looked it up and it seems I can reinstall linux and save my home folder. My home folder and root are on 2 different partitions so it should be easier. Although I found this guide
mintguide.org/system/58-how-to-reinstall-linux-mint-and-save-all-the-settings-and-all-files.html
and I can't backup my stuff because when I insert a USB drive it doesn't show up.

Anyone running *ubuntu 14.04? Something happened a few weeks ago and all my media players and web browsers are busted when it comes to playing back Opus audio contained within WebM and MKV. Firefox, VLC, Mplayer, Parole Media, you name it nothing works. Interestingly, Opus plays back fine when stuffed in OGG and OGV containers. Anyone got any ideas? I still can't figure out what the fuck the problem is. My 16.04 system plays everything back just fine.

Here's an example file that won't play back properly.

Okay I take that back. Firefox plays that just fine. It's every other actual media player that doesn't.

What are the alternatives?

Reinstalling is faster than trying to revive that broken OS. Your only problem now is how to recover /home folder right?
The question is did you encrypt your home folder AND does your OS require cryptroot password every boot?

Have you tried using a bootable/live ISO and accessing the contents of your drive? It will ask you for the password if it's encrypted so you can try your password. although i have a feeling you picked that up or stole that laptop
Next time install Arch or Gentoo and read the documentation that's so complete you won't have to ask here anymore plus you'll learn how to maintain the system properly unlike broken babby distros that have no workarounds and stuff.

There's eclipse and android studio (based on the community version of intellij). Both are foss, gaygle supports android studio. Both IDEs should be fine, if they support some upload of diagnosis data just turn them off or don't opt-in.

looks like a javascript error. Do you have youtube-dl installed? The old firefox version shouldn't matter, because the mpv add-on is from 2015.


first make sure that virtualization is enabled in the bios. If you use Virtual Box on Linux you need to update it every time when you update your kernel version. If you're on Linux you could try libvirt-manager or gnome boxes to use free software implementation for virtualization or if you're not afraid of the terminal you could use qemu in the terminal. Try vmware if you're on Windows.

not him but if you want to bump a question put it in green text while quoting the original post and ask it again


you had best not be plugging your USB into the peripheral ports nigger

newfags that dont know how to sage or faggots that dont want to

Just want to say VMware worked great, thank you for the hint.

To anyone who might be getting this error as well, the Watch with MPV add on points by default to /usr/bin/mpv, you're installation of mpv might not be there , it's probably in usr/local/bin/mpv.

I bought a refurbished X130e Thinkpad. Trying to get into the BIOS to change the boot order. This thing will not do it.

I've booted off of F1, F12, and hitting enter (what it says on the screen).

It boots straight to Windows.

Anyone else encountered this or know what to do? I refuse to run around with a refurbished laptop running W10.

So I bought a X130e Thinkpad refurbished. Trouble is I cannot get into the BIOS or other boot media. I want to get rid of the Windows 10 partition and install Loonix, or at least boot a live usb. I've tried F1, F12, Enter so far. So far none have worked, it just boots straight to Windows immediately.

Anyone know whats up here? I don't want to return this thing because it was so cheap, but I'm not running Windows 10.

Any guides on cable management?
I couldn't fit the panel back on with my last build until I moved the Mobo cable (which is the size of a fucking python) to the front of the case and let it set up a little rats' nest in front of my front fan.

I'll be installing hardened Gentoo in a couple of days on my non-botneted Intel Desktop from 2002 that I nuked a couple of days ago with dd.
Any advice that you gentoomen could give me regarding on the installation procedure that the gentoo wiki does not detail that is important, like the threaded make option -j
I'll be making it a luks encrypted hard drive so any advice that the gentoo wiki does not provide will also be helpful.
I Also will be installing hardened bsd using similar methods on another hard drive for the same desktop so any advice concerning the installation procedure is also welcome.

Have you tried install-grub update-grub during install?
Do you have uefi(gpt partition table) or traditional MBR (dos partition table)?
Did you set it up to dual boot, if so then just boot into a live installation medium and chroot into the partition and update and install grub.
You may also need to set the bootable partition flag to the root partition of the linux using fdisk.

Yeah my home folder is encrypted, I have the passphrase I've tried to enter it when I was running a livecd. I got 3rd pic
setreuid operation not permitted.
I don't think so.
No, I would never steal I'm not a nigger. This is my home PC I stupidly ran chown and fucked things up immensely.
I plan on moving up to a more complex distro once I figure this mess out.

I'm gonna try reinstalling over the root directory, I just hope I can save my home folder. I hope the guide I found isn't outdated in any way.

After the recent CIA leaks I'm questioning my computer usage and want to become more anonymous.

I used to have some Linux distros here and there installed on old laptops, I recently tried to install Ubuntu on my PC and it didn't work because of my Pascal GPU. I kept looking for solutions and trying them out and after not finding anything that works I just went back installing Windows 7. Which Linux distro works perfectly fine with Pascal GPUs?

Also what browser do you recommend to surf the Internet + Add Ons? Firefox with Noscript, HTTPS Everywhere, Ublock Matrix+Origin, what else?

Also can you recommend me a VPN thats good and doesn't cost more than 10 bucks per month?

In general I'm looking for tips how an average joe can protect himself.

Thanks

I need to dual boot windows 8.1 and Linux but I can't find a good way to activate it. Most places I've looked jacked up the price of keys or half the reviews say they don't work. I read about KMSpico but I can't find a non sketchy download for it. Any help?

In addition to , with Windows 8 and uo there is a more stupid "different" way of getting to the BIOS, primarily involving accessing a sub menu when the OS has booted. There are plenty od guides. However in theory burning the latest copy of Gparted to a thumb drive or optical disk and nuking the entire disk to take it back to mdos may work.

Windows 7 or bust, it is so much easier to setup and use in almost every way.

Are you CIA?

It's the "fast boot" bullshit. To boot Windows quicker, your mobo's UEFI doesn't even initialize USB (which could take a second or so), and therefore isn't capable of listening for keystrokes. You need to somehow instruct Windows to tell UEFI not to do that the next time it boots. IIRC when you hold Shift while clicking "Restart System", a menu will appear with relevant options.
I might be wrong about the last part

I managed to save my data, I had to run sudo ecryptfs-mount-private from the livecd when I was just entering ecryptfs-mount-private. Am incredibly happy now I can fuck off and stop bugging you guys. Thanks a bunch.

Bumping for answers. Please save me from Windows 10 because as of right now that's all I can get that works.

Every distro should work once you install the proprietary blob drivers (as long as it's not a bleeding-edge rolling distro with ultra-new versions of kernel and Xorg). You don't need the distro itself to support it, you just need basic unix skills to install the driver package from the terminal.
If you don't want to get dirty, Mint has a nice blob installer GUI included.

Pale Meme + uBlock Origin + Decentraleyes + Pentadactyl (insert autismo face here)
NoScript is bloated crap and it's superfluous when you have uBlock or uMatrix.

People are running W7 on Skylake no problem. There are workarounds for installation problems, ask joogle.

You get this all the time but I'm looking for a sytstemd free distro that's easy to use with cinnamon. I've been to withoutsystemd.org but it's overwhelming the amount of choices. I wanted to try devuan but I don't know how complex debian is nor do I know how to maintain a linux distro. I can learn as I go but I can't even get devuan to install in a virtual machine.

I looked around for two whole days and haven't found anything thats worked that's why I'm here. Whats the point of a tech support sticky if you are just going to evade one question and say "just google it" for another.

No such thing. The kind of autist who spergs out about systemd usually lives and breathes unix and doesn't give a fuck about "easy to use".


I thought you were still at the point of not being able to boot any boot media and were kvetching about W7 "just in case".

No I can boot into multiple Linux distros and Windows 8.1 I just have no way of activating it and I'd rather not buy a key that might not work from a re-seller for a hyper inflated price. I can't get Windows 7 to boot specifically everything other then that is fine.

Just dive into Debian, get frustrated and switch to arch or something. That's what I did.

In what way does W7 fail booting?

I get a black screen for a second or two and then it kicks me back to select a boot device if I select it from the bios. If I wipe all the drives in my computer and let it try picking the boot media it's self I tries booting from it and sits at a black screen forever.

Shit. There's a ton of stuff that makes me wary about systemd from a security and privacy standpoint. Seems I'm gonna have to finally learn Linux.


Isn't Arch ridiculous when it comes to constantly maintaing and updating packages? All I'm gonna really do is browse the internet.

Is legacy boot support enabled in mobo setup? Is secure boot disabled?


A good way to do that is to get a nice, noob-friendly systemd-using distro. Once you get the hang of it you may start sperging about init systems.

Yes and Yes. I don't think I could boot ubuntu otherwise.


Yes but if you can do that for a while then you should not have any issues with system d free distros.

Sounds like a plan.


Alright well first things first I'm gonna install a babby tier distro and learn from there.

It's recommended to switch from UEFI to otherOS in the BIOS for loonix, question is I installed windows in UEFI and if I change it, will my windows 7 partition be alright? My grub menu wasn't showing up.

What are the allowed file formats/codec?
I tried to upload a webm with sound but it got rejected even though it was VP8 with Vorbis.
Does different ffmpeg encoders encode differently for the same codec?

Also what userscript do you use for 8ch?
Pashe is outdated.

Check the file again, maybe you didn't remove the original aac or mp3 soundtrack. ffmpeg -i your_file.webm gives you the information about the webm (codecs, tracks). VP8/vorbis should be perfectly fine for webm. webm related.


Devuan shouldn't be too hard to use or Void Linux has a ready to use cinnamon live image that you could try.

You can install GRUB in UEFI too. Also, firmwares with legacy BIOS emulation can typically have both UEFI payloads and a legacy boot sector bootable at the same time. Firmware will be responsible for showing boot choice menu in this case.

Unfortunately I have to use Windows for some work related stuff. Now I've got a somehow beaten up Asus laptop with Win10, and I'm about to install Win7. When I click on formatting any partition it says that it has some oh-so-important programs that the laptop needs to work. Is that true, or is it just Microsoft placing a message there to scare people away from pushing random buttons? In other words, am I free to just format an Asus laptop via Windows installer?

I need Win 7 install image with B350 drivers. I switched to Ryzen and tried to boot but there is no mouse/keyboard (USB) and any bios options or USB 2 ports don't help. It's missing USB30/USB31 and SATA driver i think.

I remember people did miniXP and mini7 some years ago, so where can i look for W7 now?

Reason I want win 7 is mostly Word 2013, however I could run that in virtualbox BUT i also have few games that don't work in wine.

Also Windows 10 installer started but it complained about missing media driver and refused to continue.

You won't get xHCI USB drivers to work during installation anyway. Get a PS/2 keyboard or get a cheap chinky PCIe USB2 controller. Or perform installation in a VM under Linux.

Thanks dude your post is top notch, really helped me out.

I'm thinking about buying the NordVPN 1 year plan, seem to have a fair price/performance.

check your BIOS settings people. There should be some option in the "Boot" section in your bios menu. It is basically about disabling some ports to make the system boot faster. Disable fast boot and try again.

Remember that W7 does not come with USB3.0 drivers but USB2.0 should work with fast boot disabled. If everything fails, burn a Windows 7 cd and try it with CD.

If this fails as well you have to find one of those guides on the internet. There is a way to get it running but it is very tedious. Just follow the guide and it should work.

I recently switched my Linux hard disk and I moved my lurk folder to my new HDD (by first copying it on an NTFS external USB 3.0 drive). However, the problem is that many of my files are corrupted and cannot be displayed no matter what program I try.

How do I move my files without Linux fucking them up? Probably it cannot handle NTFS and writes files into bad sectors and fails to read them when trying again. Is there a solution to this? I would be thankful for any answer.

To test your theory could try formatting the external drive as exFAT before copying files to it.

This is incorrect. USB3 comes with a new, redesigned Host Controller Interface protocol to talk with the USB controller. Controllers in Kaby Lake and Ryzen platforms support only the new protocol, unlike previous platforms that could speak both newer xHCI and older EHCI. This means you won't get even USB2 ports working, unless board firmware provides some kind of partial emulation (some Intel boards do). If your mobo has a separate controller chip to provide extra ports on top of what the platform provides (or you connect your own via PCIe), those can work.

IMHO, the easiest way to bypass this conundrum is to install Win7 through a VM and boot it on bare metal only after xHCI drivers are installed.

I forgot:
Won't help if the installer can't see your keyboard and mouse.

Linux supports NTFS just fine and has for a few years. I suggest you scan your external disk for errors, you likely have a corrupted filesystem.

I actually did the transfer twice with 2 different drives. The older one gave me more corrupted files and the newer one gave me less corrupted files but still many.

Do I need to scan my disk on my linux console or how can I fix it. I would even reformat it into another system if necessary so the files on it are not priority as it is only my external drive for watching movies on my tv

What's the best way to safely run android stuff on linux? I want to set it up full botnet mode (google play store and everything), but I want the whole thing to be safely contained and the internet connection proxied through tor.

Hey, I just have a quick question about my CPU temperature, I have a i5 4590 3.30GHz, and I use Speccy to monitor it. When I play some games, it can reach about 70/71°C, it never goes hotter than that, and when I render things in After Effects and Premiere it does the same thing.
So I know I should clean my computer, I did it a month ago, but I'm going to add some parts soon so I'm going to do it better, and yes, shame on me because I use a stock cooler, but I don't have any money right now, I just want to know if it's too high or not, is it going to damage it in any way ?

Forgot to mention when installing, it recommended not to install under UEFI I don't remember the details. I'm gonna look more into this.

Actually it did show up, I installed it on my second hard drive and I had to change boot priority. Booting to windows 7 option wasn't there.

Either scan it from Windows, or clear and reformat it, even with the same FS. Make sure you always unmount it safely before unplugging the cable (the most usual cause of FS corruption on external drives).

If you still get corruption after performing those steps, scan your RAM with memtest86+.

It's impossible to damage modern CPUs with overheating. They will throttle their clocks down automatically well before reaching dangerous temps. "Dangerous" typically meaning ">90°C"

I think I can confirm this.
I did a cpu stress test on prime95 with my 3770k with OC settings on 4.8GHz. Apparently my cooler was not good enough and after not even 5 seconds I got a BSOD. I already thought my cpu was fried but when I turned on my computer again, everything was working normally.

Occasionally fucking something up will likely not destroy your computer. However, do not take this as invitation to push your luck too hard.

Stability at OC is a completely different matter. When you push clocks over stock, you assume responsibility for providing extra tight operating conditions so that every logic circuit manages to finish before the clock ticks.
At stock clock it would continue chugging with no BSOD even without any cooler whatsoever. The clock would sag below 1GHz and it would suspend itself for a short time few times every second (so the computer would be completely unusable), but it wouldn't crash.

I'm trying to make a calorie counting program in C++. I have the basic portion down, but my next improvement is going to be including a food library, where the caloric content of foods can be referenced to. I don't want my code bogged down with 5 pages of food stats though, so is there a way to make a library of food information and call upon from my main program?

Yes.

Thinking of downgrading to Linux Mint 17.2 I just installed 18.1 and I'm getting dns leaks using VPN. First time I used the VPN, no DNS leaks, I restarted the computer and am suddenly getting DNS leaks. I've googled solutions but none of them work. I actually reinstalled 18.1 twice thinking something went wrong. Should I just downgrade? Everything was working in 17.2

So does that mean the option goes out the window?
I only use this laptop to get through the nightshift at work, mostly by browsing Holla Forums and maybe playing some game or listening to O&A in the background. I don't have any personal info stored there, but I guess keyloggers would rip my facebork and google account info (yeah I know) right off with no trouble?

So I went ahead and installed Windows XP NeoMax edition.
From the typos I saw during the installation, I think this was made by your friendly neighborhood Pahjeet. And that's terrible.
So what do I do now? What can I do to protect my system in any way shape or form?

I would not say it this way.
Generally as long as you stay away from porn / piracy sites and install an adblocker and don't click the typical "click here" ads and popups, there is a very small probability that you will get a virus.

If you are concerned you can install avira free antivirus but I think you would not need it for normal use. Even if you get a virus, you can just format your drive and install a new system onto it.

for sure

pirate Windows XP final edition (2014 with the last updates) and try to get it working. I am not sure if they have annoying activation processes and genuine faggotry like W7 so research about it before you waste 3 hours doing it in vain.

I'm currently making a very simple soccer-like game in Unity where there is a ball, a cube that you are able to control and a cube that should be controlled by the computer. I'm trying to make an AI script which should make the cube that isn't controlled by you follow the ball, this cube is assigned the name "Player2". For some reason I get an error everytime I try to use a for loop.

Code:
for(int i =0; i < (Player2.transform.position - Sphere.transform.position); i++)
{
Player2.transform.position += 1;
}

The error I get:
"operator '< ' cannot be applied to operands of type int and vector3"

How could I solve this issue? Please not that I'm a beginner to both Unity and programming in general.

It is me again. I found a solution to my problem. Here is what I did:

>now comes a message that I cannot unplug it yet, it is still writing something on it I think last time I fucked up here
I don't know if it is the FAT file system or plugging in from the rear or waiting longer before unplugging the drive but this time everything worked. If you have the same problem I hope it will help you too.

anyone know a thing or two about networking

Use Windows FLP

Hello Holla Forums I finally made the leap.
Which OS do I go to?
I am used to windows but have used several kinds of Linux distros over the years.
With win10 coming I feel like the sswitch at home is imminent, any recommendations for what I should get into?

Thanks for the suggestion, didn't know FLP existed, but I'm already balls deep in SP4

I have a thin client computer I used to use when I worked for a company. I do not have admin privileges and it will reject all usb drives

can someone point me in the right direction so i can wipe it and install new os? or leak company secrits

also, I see the wiki doesn't recommend gentoo for a home server. Is it true that it will be too much trouble?

You need to access mobo setup to change boot order, which is likely locked. You will need to reset setup configuration. There should be either a switch or two pins to short somewhere on the mobo that allow you do that. Find out the mobo model and joogle the manual to find out where it is.

You could of course physically remove the HDD and wipe it with a different computer, but you will still need to boot install media to put a different OS on it.


A server is typically something that you configure once and then leave running in the background. It should be something that just werks as long as it is left alone. You usually don't want it on a rolling distro that needs constant attention to fix breakage while keeping it up to date (and you need to keep it up to date for security reasons).

wat do nao?

Specifically,
and

No one?

anyone?

I would suggest booting a LiveCD and running testdisk on the partition, best of luck.

If the admin is even remotely comptent they would have encrypted the drive with BtLocker™. Which should in theory at least should just barely be able to stop you from leaking any secrets, mabye.

Will do, but first, I need to know what specific files I lost. I've made a file, using locate ~/, that has all the files within my home folder, but
how do? Something with grep?

Looking at the whole thing, it looks like locate never scanned my documents folder at all.
Fuck it, I guess I'll just see if testdisk finds it. Wish me luck faggots.

I like having that accessibility because I'm paranoid of something fucking up and me losing progress, I like constantly saving rather than the program doing it for me so when I want to do something with the text at a specific revision, the program doesn't fuck me over. Fucking blog post.

Not quite sure what you are asking but maybe cron

Have you tried without the for loop? I have a feeling that there is already a main loop and you just need to increase a value every time it passes so that shit can get done.

Thank you.

any tips on locating the model? I checked msinfo and ran wmic baseboard in command prompt but i can only get the company who made it, the serial, and the version.

Would it be etchedo n the board itself?

yeah, I did, no dice.
I already installed XP on this laptop anyway. It's slower than LXLE and I have to zoom out to at least 80% of the page to view youtube and other flash based video players at 360p without constant stuttering.
I'm thinking of making a dual-boot to LXLE or Trisquel again. Maybe carry a Puppylinux USB stick around for browsing... The best solution would be to just get a decent fucking laptop or fix the old one (motherboard literally smashed in two) and get it over with. But this is "fun" or at least educational.

Hey Holla Forums, I have pic related. I built this machine for someone and they sent it back to me and I want to make it my main botnet-desktop. The client wanted to overclock so I put a K series chip in it. Now that it is mine I want to run Gentoo and use VT-d so I can pass through the GFX card to a Windows VM and finally cut the cord.

My questions:


Also I've heard it's possible to disable ME or trick it into not running. Is that bullshit or has anyone managed to do it with Haswell chips?

VT-d, sorry been up too long. Also should I bother changing out the RAM for something faster? I'm getting a new case for it/CPU cooler anyway just want to mess with it one more time and be done with it. I'm also thinking of ditching the SDD for another one, any I should be on the look out for? Is upgrading to M.2 worth the cost?

Never used VPS before, just regular webhosting using cPanel with providers like GoDaddy & HostGator, etc. I want to cut my teeth on VPS using box.cock.li because they don't censor anything.

What is the Identifier and SSH key supposed to be?

how do I use magnet links

I'm on linux mint. I got all the torrenters - deluge, qbittorrent, transmission - how do I download stuff from magnet links or how do I use the magnet link?

also, how do I protect myself from ISPs? is it enough to use a free proxy?

also, can I trust .exes that I download (since I'm on linux, but I'm simply looking for gog .exes, nothing fancy)

Shen is pretty faggy. It may be what you're looking for.

ISPs are probably sniffing traffic. You need a VPN, not just a proxy.

no you can't trust random .exes if you run them as your normal user--they can delete your homedir, for example. I suppose they're less of a problem if you run them in their own wine bottle (so they can't fuck with other windows stuff) and under their own user (so they can't fuck with your linux stuff), but malware is malware.

This was already mentioned in this thread. His GPU is too shitty to handle modern Wine's D3D emulation.

identifier is just the name of your box. call it anything. probably shouldn't have a dot (.) since you're getting a subdomain. probably.

ssh key is an ssh key. look up asymmetric-key encryption.

$ ssh-keygen -t rsaGenerating public/private rsa key pair.Enter file in which to save the key (/home/faggot/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/faggot/.ssh/id_identifier Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/faggot/.ssh/id_identifier.Your public key has been saved in /home/faggot/.ssh/id_identifier.pub.The key fingerprint is:[snip]The key's randomart image is:[snip]$ cat ~/.ssh/config Host identifierIdentityFile /home/btrump/.ssh/id_identifier.pubHostName lol-what-is-an-identifier.cockbox.liUser rootPort 123$ ssh identifier[you log in without a password! amazing!]$ rsync -av ~/dickgirl-hentai identifier:archive/[you're wasting space on wastes of space! one-handed!]

There isn't another loop, that's all the code inside the script excluding the "public GameObject..." stuff.

the problem is that this is resulting in a vector: blah.transform.position - blah.transform.position

the error is plainly telling you: (int) < (some vector) doesn't make any sense. Probably easier to pull the scalar you want to test out of the vector. Look up the vector docs.

1. IdentityFile should be for id_identifier (no .pub)
2. the contents of the .pub file (easy sanity check: it's much shorter than the contents of the other file) are what you paste into that 'ssh key' box.

what's a "wine bottle"?

also, separate user means the login user when I boot up linux, right? I'd just have to create a new user like that with very restricted powers, or would I have to do much more?

if you want to create the other user and log in as that user to run .exe stuff, then that's about it

if you want to run only .exes under that user, then you also need to give that user graphics permission and you would need to give yourself permission (you probably have it already) to sudo -u to that user.

you can have multiple wine environments. CrossOver (the commercial version of wine) handles that for you in a nice way. I haven't tried to do the same thing in normal wine yet.

so now linux mins is botnet? fuck off

>(int) < (some vector) doesn't make any sense
But why not exactly? If the position of player2 minus that of the position of the sphere would be 5 for example, wouldn't the code just become "0 < 5"? Could this work if I changed position to position.x, position.y and position.z?

cool. I wanna try out a purely functional language and wanted to keep it the lisp family, so thanks.

Are you trying to compare the distance between two points to 5?

No I'm using the for loop to see if the distance between two points is larger than zero, as long as this is the case character player2 should keep moving.

The only way the distance between two points can be zero is if they are the same point, so can't you just test for equality?

But he needs to keep moving every second or so, isn't that what a for loop is for? If I tested if they were equal then I could only change its position once, right?

could you change the position until they are equal?

Well that is what the for loop should be doing as it should keep letting the character move until the distance is either less or equal to zero. But I'll try your suggestion as well.

Brother's laptop supposedly has a hard time even playing music and suddently got stuck on the startup screen for hours. Long story short, I decided to nuke all of the partitions in order to put a new OS (Windows 7) on it to make it somewhat like new. I wiped it clean with AOMEI, but for some reason the laptop refuses to boot to the USB properly, even when the boot order is changed through the BIOS. Keeps flashing saying to hit ESC but when that happens...absolutely nothing.

Considering I used the same USB to install the OS on my new build last year with no issue whatsoever (said USB hasn't been used since), I prefer to think that isn't the problem. What gives?

Can you calibrate your screen colour to a deep orange without using 3rd party software?

This particular program has helped my eyes a lot but it completely lacks a 24/7 setting and when I am clueless trying to set my monitor to be that way by default through control panel on windows.

It measures things in colour temperature units which doesn't seem to have anything to do with screen brightness or anything. I can't replicate the colors with the sliding colour bars in the calibration setting.

tl;dr I am trying to permanently set my screen to be a deep orange colour to no avail through windows settings, what do?

You can use it during the day too, just pull the day slider left, only too 2700k tho. You can use "darkroom mode" during the day too. There is no windows setting. Some modern monitors come with monitor specific settings for reducing blue light.

The graphical menu doesn't have the option for anything but normal. I tried xandr --output default --rotate right and it returns that the default output cannot use "rotation"

Bad, dumb question, I know:

Using Transmission to torrent stuff with "Require Encryption" enabled, can my ISP see what I'm downloading/sharing?

yep, you'd need much heavier, mostly paid options, like a VPN or a seedbox if you don't want your ISP to see

Is there any way to root an Android device without installing some kind of software?
If it is not possible, what programs do you recommend to do this?

Can anybody explain what's going on here?

As you can see, the internet sees my public IP as 8*.11*.18*.3*, although my router says it should be 1*0.6*.1*6.8* (if I'm understanding it correctly).

I've forwarded port 22 from 192.168.0.10.

When I try to ssh over the internet, I can't connect no matter which IP I use.
(I'm connecting from my other laptop via phone wifi hotspot)

When I try to connect from the local network, using 8*.11*.18*.3* doesn't work, but 1*0.6*.1*6.8* does.
(using 192.168.0.10 obviously works too)

Also, when I disable port forwarding, I cannot use 1*0.6*.1*6.8* to connect from the local network.
So port forwarding obviously works.

what distro has the least painful Xen and pci-passthrough setup/configuration? KVM/QEMU's guides out there are fucking inconsistent, especially on libvirt, configuring QEMU, and it's confusing me. I've tried QubesOS before, I want to like it, but it seems to eat up a bullshit amount of ram for no reason other than "because". The developers seem like they have the LinuxBBQ problem of "we make this for us, we don't need no fucking documentation"...or It's just me and I lack patience for it and fedora-like systems.

also, anyone here have experience setting up slackware as dom0? if so, does mbootpack affect performance? I really prefer lilo over grub.

Yes, and no.
They'll know you looked around in your web browser for a torrent, and they'll know the pirate sites you went to. They'll even know you downloaded the .torrent file, but once you start downloading it's all encrypt and the only people who know are you and the seeder. That's how companies get proof you pirated, they pirated something themselves, usually their own property and then checked your IP, then contacted your ISP. Although some ISPs are faggots and do it by themselves, since while they have no legal proof you pirated it's obvious you did. That's why they send people C&D letters, and that's why you shouldn't answer (which is basically admitting it)
If you live in a 3rd world shithole, you can probably distribute your CP and nobody will care. If you're a (non-slav) yurocuck or american start looking for a good encrypted proxy or a seedbox.

What's the easiest way of buying bitcoins without having to install a program?

I've tried coinbase and they require a photocopy of identification which I might not be able to get.


Anonymity is a must but the recommended bitcoin supplier on alphabay's subreddit is coinbase which requires ID, so obviously they have some scheme for protecting identity later on.

all bitcoin transactions are public knowledge. correlating wallets with people is a mild challenge, not something aided by cryptography. easy USDbitcoin transactions are a screen door on a submarine, for anonymity. so anonymity should be less than a must if you want to go ahead with this.


what are the workarounds? that'd be the biggest hint as to what your actual problem is.

open in paint, firefox, 'photos''

I messed up my Linux Mint installation and now my 2000gb SSD (E:) won't read. My Linux mint installation was acting fucky, and after about two days of waiting for it to install to my partition on my E: I decided to restart my computer. When I booted into Windows 7, my E: drive read as corrupted and that all 2000gb were free. I figured it would be a good idea to delete the partition in order to reset it- considering everything was already corrupt.

At this point I have to redownload a whole TB of shit and I lost likely 30gb of family photos/videos and porn, but I just want my drive to get working again. Do I need to reinstall Windows completely? Or is there an easier fix?

Either your SSD is dead, something is wrong with the connectors or it's a software issue. I recommend rebooting into linux and using a partition manager to see if you can find the SSD (windows' one is shitty).

that's what you get for not listening

Whenever I try dipping my tablet pen onto my Wacom drawing tablet it lags although usable I can't draw strokes properly due to lag.

kde pkg vers: 16.12.2-1
plasma pkg vers: 5.9.3-1

anyone having similar issues?

I fixed the issue, I should've used an "if" like you said but there was also the fact that I could only change one axis of the position of Player2 which means that I should've typed "(Player2.transform.position.z-Sphere.transformation.position.z)" and "Player2.transform.position.z".

me wanna make rpi2 router
vpn > tor > net
how?

I should disable javascript but then most of the internet doesnt work at all (e.g. youtube).

What do? Quit the internet?

For youtube and other video sites use youtube-dl.
You can use the Firefox extension noscript to only allow javascript on whitelisted sites.
Not a bad idea.

So, I've been trying to get the nvidia drivers to work for a FreeBSD 11.0 install on my laptop but every time I set it up and edit the xorg.conf it crashes.
It more specifically gives me an error stating that X does not find a display and no device.
I have an Intel i5 4200U and a nvidia GT 740M.
Is there some failsafe method for installing the nvidia drivers on 11.0?

I know, but I'm on a chan imageboard, so that's unlikely.

So devuan won't install network connectivity if there is no connection at install? That's fucking bullshit.

Using dd-wrt, what package manager would be a better choice? ie. under more active development, larger number of packages, etc Optware, Entware .. ?

From what I hear the AMD FX series is one of the last latest CPU lines that does not have PSP. I'm currently looking at the FX-8350 and calculated system upgrade costs. It turned out to cost almost as much as my current i7 6700K build. My question is, is that worth it just to try to avoid hardware level backdoors? If there are more powerful desktop CPUs without ME/PSP/TrustZone then what are they?

How long would it take for the Chinese/Indian/Russian botnets to shit up traffic on a self-hosted server? I'm currently getting a ~2012 Dell Inspiron, which I then plan on undervolting and underclocking to make it become a server.

This server would host a single static website that would link to other websites (ex. itch.io, Youtube, Twitter, Codeplex, Bandcamp), with some small links to other sites. If some chinks were paid to spam my (theoretical as of now) website, could my underclocked Pentium bear the brunt of that stress?
The website below is almost what I've got in mind, albeit with several more links on the divider:
autofish.net/

sorry user ur right, my reading comprehension is sub middle school

Are there any good desktop CPUs with no CIA/NSA/FBI/etc nigger backdoors?

Uninstall and reinstall network drivers in device manager

I bought myself a bluetooth dongle back in December. About a week ago, my PC quit accepting the dongle and I get the message "Cannot start Bluetooth Hardware not found" but if I remove the dongle, Windows recognizes that I unplugged something. The dongle used to be simply plug-and-play but now I have to use the website's drivers, and it seems as soon as I turn off my PC whatever I did becomes useless and I get the exact same "Cannot start" message when I turn my PC on again. I've installed the drivers countless times now, at once point I tried system restore back before the trouble began, which worked until I shut off the PC, then the dongle stopped working again. At this point I've installed the driver so many times I have no more safe system restore points.

What's really interesting is that I emailed the company and they said I shouldn't have even been able to use plug-and-play because that doesn't exist for Windows 7, only on 8 and 10. Also I noticed it was almost exactly 90 days after I first installed it and wonder if the bluetooth driver's company is trying to make me pay for drivers.

The device in question is the Avantree Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle, it uses Blue Soleil bluetooth drivers, and my PC is running Windows 7 without any updates at all I figured I couldn't trust any of them.

Should I try other bluetooth drivers? I'm pretty awful with Windows, I downloaded their bluetooth drivers but still couldn't connect. Or should I get a different dongle (I only picked this one because I have an Avantree headset I really enjoy and wanted to try their other hardware). Maybe use a Windows repair disk? I figure I have all day with this snow to try something.

what language should i write my website backend in?
I've herd good things about haskell and rubyonrails

Sounds like you need a bigger dongle.

I've been trying to install Linux on this Windows computer with a AMD Radeon 7800 card.

I'm using debian jessie and I want to install Neovim which is in testing. It also has dependencies that are not installe don my system.

Is there a way to install the package along with its dependencies without adding "testing" to my sources.list?

How to fix this exception please?

Honestly getting a new one seems to be my best bet, I just wish I knew what was going on or what happened. Also it seems that if I turn off bluetooth, it won't turn back on if that narrows down the problem.

Try backporting it yourself to stable, it's often very simple:
- get source package from testing
- build the package
- install the package (do it in a VM first to test it)
Sometimes you need to modify some minor things though, just trial-and-error until it builds. Some guides:
wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation
wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial
I even backported unreleased development versions of some software to stable and it works fine. The crucial thing is just that it can be built with build dependencies from stable.

try rufus instead

None of them, really. All are painful.

Hello,

Are there any Microsoft IP addresses I need to block when using windows 7? Would it be alright to add a firewall rule or do I need something else?

There is a tool that does this for Windows 10. It blocks about every know MS IP address, among other things. It is called Destroy Windows 10 Spying. Perhaps there is an equivalent for 7.

Says it works for Windows 7 too. Thanks.

Not him but I'd rather not use a third party tool. Besides windows 7 isn't bloated with half the shit 10 comes with I'll bet that just blocking the IPS is good enough, I'm running a fresh install with zero updates.

Several years back I purchased this pos and under mythbuntu it worked fine, but I cannot get it usable under Slackware, or Mint......
If anyone has this card, please just tell me what version of Linux you have it working under besides a *buntu.
Thank You.

Is there any sane MIDI player for the GNU/L system?

I don't wanna try timidity and fluidsynth as the setup is over complicated and would like to keep my system untainted for a simple purpose of playing midi -as much as possible.

I just wanna listen to my midis and if possible I'd like to have a better sound font samples.

Last resort: is there a standalone midi player that is supported by wine?

Besides LMMS is there any actually usable MIDI editor/creator for GNU/L?

Are there any good practical introductions to zsh that do not rely on ohmyzsh? I want to migrate from bash but I can't find any introductory guide on how to configure zsh.

Is Manjaro the most newfag-friendly distro without systemd?

Possibly, but if you need something newfag-friendly you probably don't have a good reason to avoid systemd. And I've heard that Manjaro OpenRC breaks a lot.

I really need some help with FFMPEG. I am using this command:
-codec:a pcm_u8 -ac 1 -ar 22050 -af "volume=9dB" -map 0:a:0 "test".wav

The thing is that the exported file sometimes results in alright audio and sometimes in files with a ton of buzzing and static noise, like it came out straight from the trash can. I need to use these settings because this is the only format supported (pcm_u8) by a program that I'm using. What is causing these terrible audio rates on some files?

Forgot to say, I use that to extract audio from video, and because most videos are from youtube I don't need 100 MB per file, which is why I used 22050 as the audio rate.

SalixOS

no ftp allowed you faggot. sftp.

if he ever needs to access from outside then hes screwed if he use ftp

my god that shitty programming style triggers me

IIRC, Audacity allows the playback of MIDI files but only in Piano form

any of the DAWs or a standalone instance of Fluidsynth or Milkytracker(?) will be the way to listen and manipulate it fully

Which blogging site protects my freedoms? I don't need to get search engine crawled, avoiding that would be nice as well. Fucking spiders.

Hey, Holla Forums, the gpu sensors of an old ati hd 2600 stopped working after a cleaning. I reinstalled the drivers, the monitoring programs and nothing works. It says at 19C no matter what and 0 fan speed. Any ideas how to fix it? Is there any cache or something to delete from somewhere?

you can also just add "professional" to anything, to be classed as professional you dont even need to be good at something, it just means you have been paid for a service>>725160

I'm trying to view my IOMMU groups using installgentoo's command string but for some reason, ever since I updated my kernel to 4.10.2 I've been getting this:
#the command string I enter:$ for iommu_group in $(find /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d); do echo "IOMMU group $(basename "$iommu_group")"; for device in $(ls -1 "$iommu_group"/devices/); do echo -n $'\t'; lspci -nns "$device"; done; done########################IOMMU group X lspci: -s: Invalid function number

lspci -nns is clearly the offending part of the string, now, what would I need to change it to in order to set things right?

From what this customer support faggot from AMD told me, the FX cpus are the last ones confirmed for PSP free I cannot prove if they are telling the truth so you can trust them or not. Some of the A-series chips are confirmed PSP.

It depends on what you want to do with the machine. As you already have a gaming machine with 6700K you won't need another one just for gaming. You might split your computing into one machine for gaming and one machine for internet browsing, linux and other stuff. As the other computer would not have to be super powerful, you could easily build a 500$ computer that is pretty quiet and does not consume much power.

Personally I would not go with the 8350 as it is a fucking oven that will generate shitloads of heat especially when overclocked. So to operate it safely at overclocks, you will need one of those giantic Noctua CPU coolers. Also keep in mind that any system with 8350 in it, will never outperform a 6700k in gaming. It may even bottleneck some graphics cards.

The FX-6300 would be a decent CPU for office use with only 95Watts power dissipation (compared to 125W for the FX-83xx and the stock overclocked FX-6350. The 4300 would be the basic version but the difference is only 30$ and so you might as well get the 6300 with the 2 additional cores. Just get a motherboard with decent linux compatibility and you are good to go.


My solution was to just holocaust Windows 7 completely from my gaming machine, install a virginal W7 version from 2009, manually install the Service pack 1 and disable all updates. There are security risks in my gaming rig now, but it is a botnet computer anyway so who cares. At least it is not bloated with more than necessary microshit. I also do not like the idea of manually checking every single new update before installing it to see if michaelsoft wants me to install some new spyware.


my nigga I had to install SP1 and IE9 for some programs but otherwise my Win7 is virginal

Bumping for Halp

I've searched everywhere and it seems that the most "modern" powerful CPU would be the FX series.

I plan to run many virtual machines so I assume the performance of the CPU matters. What are your recommendations? Or it's truly, completely futile to try to avoid hardware backdoors in CPUs?

Interesting, I thought Linux would work ok on any mobo. At least that's what my experience has been so far.

how do i get perl to display the full number form of an 1.32342e+010 type number

Why is flash on linux slow? I can't find a way to fix it. I'm using Firefox.

HELLO

PLEASE HELP

ok so what do I have to do then? download one of these wallet programs?

I'm looking at buying from localbitcoins what do I have to do to stop people from knowing I'm buying drugs?

I figure a wallet is unneccessary because localbitcoins will only be able to tell the police that I transferred money to alphabay, and that's not really proof of anything.

Anonymity isn't the right word what I'm looking for is no trail of money from the package that will arrive and the money I spend on bitcoins.

localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/supknwz/

is there any downside to buying from sketchy dealers with way too good rates? As far as I'm aware localbitcoins immediately take the money from the seller and hold it until seller pays out, so it's impossible to get scammed.

why is RECAPTCHA not showing up at all?

try it and report back. The guys account is new so maybe he's a beginner

It has begun; google now indexes your past history to determine whether you are a bot or not.

Only if you let it. Otherwise you're granted access to their rich collection of street sign pictures.

I don't even really know how to ask this question. I want to install a package that uses rmp but my terminal said I should use alien instead. The problem is, I don't know fuck-all about alien or how to use it.

Alien is a program for converting .rpm packages to .deb packages. Your distro probably uses .deb packages. Try these instructions:
help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto

I was going to install Java
rpm -ivh jre-8u73-linux-i586.rpm
So I should type:
alien -ivh jre-8u73-lunix-i586.rpm

You would need to run "sudo alien -i jre-8u73-linux-i586.rpm", but don't do that.

You don't need to install Java this way. You can get it from your distro's repositories, which is far more likely to work properly and will get updates with the rest of your system. Which distro do you run? If it's Ubuntu, Linux Mint or Debian, try this instead:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre

Is your way better than pic related? That's what the instructions were on the Java site.

Unless you specifically need Oracle Java instead of OpenJDK, yes. OpenJDK is the official reference implementation so it should be fine.

I noticed it in one of the comments for a Gigabyte AM3+ motherboard.
It was a cheaper one and one of the comments said: Bad linux compatibility so I assume it must be that way.
Or another explanation could be that the user was a turbo normie who failed to get ubuntu installed with all drivers and just gave up.

If you have trouble getting linux to work on your mobo then there should also be packages with nonfree drivers but messing with this is an extra waste of time if you can get another board that just werks for 20$ more. Asus boards have always worked with my linux installations in the past and I feel like they have great driver compatibility and support.

Cannot give any rating for Gigabyte and MSI because I never had one of their boards.
However, in the internet you will likely find examples for any board and if they work well with linux. Mint for example has a section in their forum where people post about what hardware worked with it and what not.

Lads, how can I use play LAN games through a VPN using Hamachi? I tried my best and I searched for tutorials and I haven't got anything.
I just wanna play Advance Wars 2 online.

Is Java Runtime and OpenJDK the same? Do I need to download RunTime also?

Also, forgot to add that my PC won't detect Hamachi as a network.

OpenJDK includes a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The instructions I gave are for installing its JRE. A JRE is what you need to run Java programs.

I'm trying to install i2p but it is ass raping me.

OpenJDK should work for i2p.

Yeah, I know. It's the key part that has me stumped and I know that is sensitive info so I am reluctant to ask about it here

nevermind. got it

If I convert a mkv to webm, will it keep the subs, or will I have to extract the subs from the mkv and put them into the webm?

Why not just try it and see what happens? It sounds like something that depends on the exact method of conversion.

Aren't the subs in a text file? The text fell will work with mkv if that's what you're asking.

I know this name is anathema around here but can i2p access 4chan?

Try disabling devices until it goes away

By design i2p doesn't access the clearnet, only dedicated services. You'd have to use a clearnet bridge. That's all I know.

So I turned on my laptop for the first time in a while today and it immediately said there was no boot device found.

How fucked am I? My BIOS hasn't been updated and doesn't recognise the hard drive, I put a Linux Mint flash drive in it and it doesn't the drive either. I mean if the BIOS can't find it, I don't think any bootable media is going to find it but I thought I may as well try. I don't even hear it spinning up or clicking or doing anything that suggests a hard drive is trying to work.

Am I looking at a completely new hard drive? The warranty is fucked because I uninstalled Windows 10 and installed Mint on it almost immediately so I think I can only replace the hard drive.

probably dead hd. if you have a spare laying around can try that out to make sure but still probably hd. warranty should be fine, just don't mention linux. failed hardware is failed hardware.

Anyone have any experience with rackmount servers? One day I did a reboot to update some shit and it just never came back on, red light flashing telling me that it's shat itself. From there I suspected that it would be something in the line of delivering power and not the motherboard, RAM, or one of the processors. I removed the RAM sticks one at a time to see if that was the issue, it wasn't. Then I tested each processor individually, that wasn't the issue either. However, I only ever had the server plugged in through one of the two redundant power supplies and neither worked so I figured that it couldn't possibly be that either.

So, to confirm my suspicions I tried to get into iLo but couldn't because I didn't have the password (I bought this shit off ebay second-hand for $150). To get in, I used metasploit to bruteforce the the admin password (which was laughably easy because it was some shit like 'root'). Then I go into the event log and I'm greeted by this (attached) bullshit which confirms my suspicions.

Because neither power supplies are working, I figured that it must be the power backplane since that's a common interface for the PSUs. Bought a new power backplane off of ebay, tried it just now, server still won't start.

Note: iLO is functional but not particularly helpful, the fans (sort of) kick on in the PSUs but they sound different than they did before it shit itself. The main fans will kick on too for a few seconds before startup aborts and the red light starts flashing.

Is it possible that I somehow fucked both power supplies despite only one being plugged in because the server was plugged into the wall and not a UPS? This seems unlikely considering the point of redundant power supplies is to be redundant and that one can basically explode while the other keeps running.

I probably should have included that it's an HP Pavilion dl180se g6.

Where is the best place to download high quality music?

You can't put subs into a WebM file. The standard at the moment allows only audio and video streams, not subtitles. It is planned to be changed once W3C standardizes a subtitle format for the web.


The text stream with subs can be embedded within the .mkv file. Not .webm though.

Because Adobe doesn't give a shit about linux. Use Chrome for Flash, it has its own embedded Flash VM which is much better.

Some fancy mobos provide extra features using fancy controller chips that don't have Linux drivers. Such a mobo will work on Linux, except for the functionality provided by that chip.
One category of such chips you need to look out for is "Killer" networking controlers, common on high-end gaming mobos.

There was a whole thread about this shit, unfortunately it got deleted recently. Basically, the last botnet-free processors are the FX and Ax-6xxx.

If you can post the thread numbers I can do something.

So I've run into a Compaq Ipaq desktop pc yesterday with, from what I can tell, a P3 processor, 128MB RAM and a 10GB HDD. I was hoping to scrap it for parts, but they're too weak to be useful for anything. Is there anything I can do with this thing for it to be viable/fun? I can't even figure out how to disassemble it.

I'd rather not use chrome is there any way to get flash on iridium? I've startpaged but there's absolutely nothing on getting flash in Iridium. I have the fresh player plugin installed and I just now realized I have to install pepper flash.

Seems pepper flash is google made. There's no way of escaping google. I need flash but I guess I'll just run flash on windows as unsecure as it is.

What is the most secure and free way of sending text and images to someone from one Android phone to another?

I thought it was Whatsapp but in light of the CIA hacking I need a new app.

I'm using Windows 8. What do I do with the checksum.txt file in order to verify the download?

Fuck sorry, I'm talking about THIS checksum retroshare.net/downloads.html

So basically get an FX8370 and deal with the heat generated, and try to work around the fact that you'd get a much more powerful system for the same price you built a FX8370 system, although it would be botnet CPU? Is there anything in the future horizon that we may wait for?

If you want to play Advance Wars 2 online I would actually recommend doing it over MAMEHub. The ability to swap controls with other players is something that works perfectly for Advance Wars. You do have to be able to forward a port though.

I personally gave up on Hamachi a few years ago when it started really going to shit. I prefer to use Tunngle now when I need a VLAN for certain Windows gaming. It's got a real obnoxious interface supported by ads, but it works more reliably than Hamachi.

I'm building a website for some normie scum that I have not yet been able to convert against Facebook. They have a Facebook page for our project that I'd like to link to on the separate web page, but I want to do it in a way that avoids Facebook's disgusting web tracking. Is such a thing possible?

Just use a regular link?

It doesn't track those? I'm reading some confusing literature about how exactly it does the tracking.

If a browser decides that the user is likely to click on it it might pre-load it, and if you click it Facebook will be able to tell which page you came from, but that's all.

If you use one of those iframes which show the number of likes or whatever then displaying it requires contacting Facebook and it records every page view, but a simple link won't do that.

Thanks, guess an image with a link should be good enough then.

I've created key pair with gpg.

Now I have to decrypt a plaintext 16-digit message. What do I do? I couldn't find info for retards on how to do this through arch terminal so I've downloaded seahorse, but even then seems like I'm missing something. I can't find out how I do this.

As long as you host the image yourself, yes.

Is there a way to load .SHTML with .HTML includes in a browser properly on the client side? Would sure make web page testing a lot easier. Server-side includes are great for reducing repetition but the need to do direct in-server edits to see their effect is getting annoying.

What about http referer?

Isn't the point of those CIA hacking leaks that it doesn't matter what you use because they defeat you at the endpoints? In other words, you could be using the most secure messaging app ever but if they can read your shit before it gets encrypted and/or after it gets decrypted by the app, then it really doesn't matter at all.

This, don't use a locked-down proprietary phone for communication you would like to keep private, period. Encryption wasn't defeated, Android and iPhone were.

That's the "if you click it Facebook will be able to tell which page you came from" part.

I'm trying to install Alpine from USB, their standard iso, and OpenRC freezes on loading hardware drivers. Has anyone else encountered this and have a solution?

Or build a gaming rig with Intel cpu and only use it for gaming, emulators and never for anything on internet games with always-online faggotry would be the exception and one computer for internet and privacy, linux etc. As your computer would not have to be powerful, you might build a 500$ FX-6300 or FX-4300 pc that can run pretty silent as the graphics card could be a passive 50$ card.

Even if you get the FX-8370 and overclock it to 5GHz, it will likely not outperform a i7-6700K and it might bottleneck some graphics cards. The FX-8320 would be a more civilized alternative if you really need those 8 cores for video editing/encoding.

Would the FX-8370 be powerful enough to run at least 5 VMs as well as an i7 6700K? Or at least run them at an acceptable performance?

Pepper flash is the flash component from Chrome. It's hardly as bad as FUCKING WINDOWS you autistic sperg.

How does one find a modern motherboard without UEFI these days?

...

The latest leaks have shown UEFI to be the insecure piece of shit that we always feared, so I'd like to use a traditional BIOS if at all possible. I've also noticed some friends have extra frustration tinkering with GNU/Linux shit one their UEFIs before.

It's maintained by google, I don't know if there's tracking capabilities in it.

I don't know about 8, but for 7 MS had their own site you could use to verify the torrents checksum. A lot of people don't know how to google shit and come here for the simplest of fixes that could be figured out with google. It's a surprise this thread's alive.

Seems the only way is to get an old thinkpad and flash the BIOS and replace it, I read about it on the gentoo wiki.

You DO know for sure there are tracking capabilities in Windows though right? RIGHT???

yes but I think even a less powerful cpu could do that with ease. I just don't think getting a 8000 series FX is smart as it will always lose in gaming against intel aviv cpus. If you don't play games on it then you also don't need the most powerful FX


non-UEFI boards are mostly priced at the lowest price segments. You can find AM3+ boards for 60$ that come without UEFI.

If I remember correctly you need to do something "special" to make it install from USB. They mention it on their wiki.

Allright Holla Forums i need some help.

I'm kind of a linux noob, so try and dumb down your answers a bit.

I'm building a FPV r/c plane, and i want to use a Thrustmaster Hotas X joystick to control it, with a raspberry pi controlling the transmitter on the ground and an arduino giving commands on the plane. I already have the transmit/receive working pretty well, have some servos and motors working through 2.4ghz, all i have left to do is get the joystick working. While i could hack open the joystick and take potentiometer reads directly, I'd rather keep its functionality on my pc.

I looked around a bit, and found this site wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gamepad#Disable_joystick_from_controlling_mouse

$ cat /dev/inputs/js0 gives me random letter/symbols in the console when i move the joystick or any buttons are pressed. took me ten minutes to find out how to get out of that without closing console lol

I just need to install the module aur.archlinux.org/packages/sdl2-jstest-git/
i tried '$ sudo apt-get install sdl2-jstest-git' but that didn't work. I don't know what im doing, pls help

Can your ISP see what you're doing on localhost? For instance if I was running an imageboard on localhost from my computer and upload a file from my phone, can they see what is being uploaded?

i'm trying to install ubuntu 16.04 on my computer but after selecting "try ubuntu without installing" it shows the low resolution splash screen then my monitor pops up the "out of range box".

GTX 1060 6 gig
AMD FX-6300 3.8ghz
16 gigs DDR3 RAM
western digital 2tb hard drive

I don't have onboard graphics or I would have tried that already. What can I do?

oh and i'm trying to install from a flash drive set up with UUI

The only thing I can think is that there's a problem with Ubuntu 16 or UUI. Have you tried other that have worked?

I've had problems trying to get Ubuntu 16 to install on one of my computers. But eventually I got it to work by installing Ubuntu 14 and then upgrading to 16 via the software updater.

What I did was download Ubuntu 14.04 and install it using LinuxLive (linuxliveusb.com/en/download) to a flash drive. Then install Ubuntu 14 as usual and upgrade to 16.

That's because you're trying to install an Arch package on a system that uses apt. Search for "jstest" in your distro's repositories:
$ apt-cache search jstest
Report back if you need further help.

Did you verify the checksum? Did you try googling it?
askubuntu.com/questions/153040/frequency-out-of-range-please-change-display-mode
This thread is too tolerant of basic shit that can be solved by searching it up.

I just pulled my harddrive out of a dead thinkpad, and now when plugging it up to another it's requesting a password to access it and I don't remember what I had set it to. It's a drive with a Ubuntu OS on it, and I'm operating on a Debian machine

did you actually read what I wrote? Obviously I verified the fucking checksum, that was the first thing I tried. the askubuntu page you linked doesn't even have anything to do with my problem aside from the out of range issue.

Thanks for the reply. Clearly I didn't read carefully. I'll comb thought it again and see if I can get it to install.

Yeah I checked the wiki. The most recent versions can just be raw copied b/c they contain an MBR. I dd'd the iso to a usb flash drive and it now OpenRC doesn't even start; just a blinking cursor. Fucking a.

Yeah same bullshit where it's stuck on hardware drivers. Time to play hooky with certain devices.

So many people on this planet need to die a painful death.

I'm still having this out of range issue, I tried nomodeset and it didn't do anything.

Why did I get this message when I tried to go to google homepage? I've been having hacker paranoia for some time now. I have clicked some links randomly on >>>Holla Forums so who knows.

Not getting away from systemd b/c alpine's installation utility is complete garbage and broken even after a checksum

I'm trying to compile mesa 17.01 from source but am stuck at the configuration step.
configure: error: --enable-gallium-llvm is required when building r300
When I run ./config --enable-gallium-llvm the error I then end up with is
configure: error: --enable-gallium-llvm selected but llvm-config is not found.

I don't really know what to do at this point. I looked up both these error messages on duckduckgo and didn't get any relevant results of anyone in the same situation as I.

do you have llvm installed and is it at least the minimum version for that driver?

Running one 1 PS shouldn't kill the other but since you only ever had 1 plugged in are you positive both were good when you got it?

Remove SIM card and cell antenna from both phones. Transfer by bluetooth. is right.

Localhost is just the server's name for itself. The question is what IP your webserver is running on. If your webserver is only running on 127.0.0.1 your ISP can't see it but neither can your phone. If it's running on a private IP your phone could see it if it's on the same local network but your ISP can't. If it's running on an external IP then the world can see it.

Sometimes I get bored.

If it's a SMART password your easiest option is to reset it but that will wipe the drive.

Yeah, I've tried both previously I'm pretty sure. I'll pull a working PSU from a similar server I got from family and try again just to double check. If that doesn't work then I really just have no idea.

Would anyone here happen to know some good Linux file permission settings for hosting a secure web server? I've looked it up in other places but everyone says something different.

Is Tor safe?

Yes. That doesn't mean you can use it however you want and expect safety though. You know, walking is really dangerous because you could walk off a cliff.

are you a winfag? or are you using botnet browser? (chrome or ff)

try making your own iplogger and click that link.
if you get 2 unique ips it means you're infected (or your browser activated the jewgle botnet)

most of the time it's jewgle IP.

Aside from using my personal information and stuff only retards would do, what do I need to watch out for?

just use line and you be fine.
grab winrar/7zip for android, encrypt and send that file via bluetooth or wifi direct (if it ever fucking works)


qupzilla/rekonq got flash by default


use it as a local meshnet server

the question is are you locked in microsoftdick chastity device or into BDSM/uefi, google chrome, flash, etc. faggotry?
if not but you really need anonymity for being a leet haxor or paedo then you should consider different architecture like MIPS or something then just use virtual machinie + whonix for anything harmful.

Off the top of my head: DNS leak, WebRC leak, browser fingerprint,typing style,time correlation,JS engine exploit` s, browser agent.

dont forget the dom and html5 storage, supercookies or zombiecookies - even if you clear the cache/cookies, if botnet websites are on your pinned tabs it will just restore all the cookies/dom shits back no matter how many times you clear browser data.

other stuff is built in browser plugins like firefox hello and marketplace, sync(even without a sync account) , google malware URL/filehash checker which is both on chrom* and firefox.

specific shit is non-https bookmarks and botnet sites with token (google.com/gibberishshitwithuniquetoken once you click it metadata by IP is rebuilt)

Thanks user

Just sniff some packets dude. That will tell you if your network is connecting to google constantly or not.

So ensage (dota 2 hack for zoom and scripts) will let me play only two games the full membership will let me play unlimited games. How do i crack this?

/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Memory exhausted.
I'm trying to compile llvm from source, but get this issue. What I'm having trouble with understanding is why doesn't the swap kick in? I have swap set up in case RAM depletes, but the make process crashes when RAM gets close to reaching 4GB.


I guess the version I had installed was too old, so I'm compiling a newer version now.

Can I install windows 8 with USB 3 ports? Or do I need to use ps/2 port. Have AM4 motherboard.
Is base win 8 without updates good enough to play vidya? I use linux for everything else, but need some kind of windows for games I just can't get to run in WINE.

I've blocked every known IP address that tracks Windows 7 but I still know it has a back door. I guess I'll take the lesser of 2 evils and just get pepper flash. I still don't know why the entirety of the internet hasn't abandoned flash fro HTML5. Thanks.

I added more ram and installed PAE so that I could access more than 4gb of ram. I also then set swapon -a to make sure it's enabled (it always has been, if it hasn't, it would've said "disabled" in the system monitor) I then set the swappinness to 100 with sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10

After all this, any program will only use 3.1GB of ram before crashing and swap will never be touched. Here is a screenshot of a program running that eats up ram indefinitely before crashing

sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=100*
And I know the swappiness failed to change to 100 in that screenshot, but it still didn't work after I corrected my misspelling.

I am trying to learn assembly by messing around with c64.
However some things that theoretically should work are not working, for instance when I use LDA and hit enter to type out the next set of instructions LDA becomes LD?

Any idea what's causing this? Using Final Cartridge 3's monitor with VICE

Never mind lads, figured it out. I was telling it to assemble from nothing, how stupid.

I'm not that good with computers. i don't know how to make iplogger. I was using a vpn but i turnt it off. I don't know if it was still on. I am using chromium.

I don't know what this means. I am not that tech savvy.

Watch your network traffic, either use router's web interface if it has that feature or install a packet sniffer like Wireshark. If you see a lot of traffic to google's IPs then you're part of a botnet, or maybe someone else in your network is part of botnet.

I have reached my data limit this month and usually they would throttle my speed but now I got this message. btw this is not a mobile subscription but my main connection.

What would be the best course of action in your opinion?

Amai, dan moet je plaatje related door Telenet's kantoor sturen.

Isn't there an easier way? I hate to be a whiny bitch but this installing from source is such a hassle. What about

How do I get megadl to download one folder in a megalink? The manual isn't clear on this point.

When I just copy/paste the url of the folder (the last ! and everything after it) I'm told it's not a valid megalink.

Have you done, megadl 'link'?

I can ping any (dutch or located somewhere else) website just fine.
When I tried connecting with Windows I got a warning from Firefox saying that the network I am using might require a login. When I click on that warning I get the same screen as what I posted earlier.

Mabye Mount it via the FS feature and copy what you want?

Try sudo watch -n 0.5 netstat -tuap That has the benefit of reslving the IPs for you so you will see if it's connecting to google servers, but it also has the disadvantage of not seeing what other devices in your network are connecting to. If you don't have netstat it's probably in a package called "net-tools" or something like that. Isn't Wireshark already in your repos though? Should be easily installable, you just have to add your $USER to the wireshark group to use it without root.

Why don't you try changing those values one after another to something insane like full-on red. Maybe you will find which setting is the source of the black highlight.

I think that explains it. VPN means you're likely sharing your IP with lots of other people so no wonder there's a lot of traffic coming from one IP.

Global settings

So, 32-bit Linux. Your programs are still 32-bit. When they address memory it's with a 32-bit number. 0 is the first (potentially) addressible byte. 4*1024*1024*1024-1 (4GB-1) is the last addressible byte.

PAE lets the kernel start programs with memory pages that come from >32bit memory, but the programs themselves still only have a 32-bit number to refer to the memory they're given.

In short: upgrade to 64-bit Linux.

Sounds like you aren't using the right version of Python.

For the second one (gpg), let me know if you find a good overview. I've been using it for a while but I still don't know 99% of the shit it can do since it has more than 300 different command-line arguments.

Hi, Holla Forums
I'll be visiting China next month. Should I just not bring my laptop at all? Would I be fine with disk encryption and an SSH tunnel?

Need a distro for my father, am looking at Zorin OS. Is it legit, safe and secure? Sure looks easy to use. I've never used a printer on Linux before am I going to have trouble with the printer?

Thanks that did it. I changed the "selection" style name under global settings.

Gentoo or Funtoo? Why?

I don't know if Holla Forums or Holla Forums is the more appropriate board to ask this question:

What is an example of a fundraiser done right?

install gentoo

trash

I accidentally overwrote my encrypted partition some time back, so I tried to get it back with recuva.
I found a 2TB $BadClus file which is what I think is my encrypted partition, but when I try to recover it to another drive I get the "Access is denied" error.
Any way I could recover it or is my shit fucked?

Is it possible to delete the grub bootloader from your hard disk and move it to an usb drive and make the computer search for grub on this usb drive when booting?

I have a linux partition with luks encryption and I wondered if this was possible. The system is already installed so I cannot just try it out on the installation progress dialog thing.

Yes, you would boot from USB (BIOS/UEFI settings) and then the grub on the thumb drive would be configured to use the hard disk. It's totally possible

Looks like you're on 32-bit. The system may have much more virtual (and even physical) memory, but every process is limited to 4 GB of address space.

You need to move to a 64-bit system. Or turn off LTO so that no specific compilation unit needs that much memory at one time.

I can't get Pinta to work or uninstall even.
Puppy Tahr linux.

Windows 8 supports xHCI out of the box and should run all USB ports fine.


If you're so paranoid about it, you can always set up a chroot jail (or even a VM) just for Chromium and Flash. It can't spy on you if it can't access the rest of the system.

Your shit is fucked.

Is this normal?

indiegogo.com/projects/qutebrowser-a-keyboard-focused-vim-like-browser was fine.

No, it will be held hostage at customs on your return until you decrypt it for them.

come on guys, just a hit where to start

Intresting, proxy settings possibly?

pretty please with sugar on top?

sudo rm -rf /

this will remove any broken packages you have held, be sure to backup and personal files just in case first, rare but bad things can happen.

Why is /christian/ beating us on the board listing?

They currently aren't, but if they were it would be because they had more 255.255.0.0 subnets making posts in the last 72 hours. If you have a dynamic IP address restarting your router probably won't make you count as a different active user, but using the internet somewhere else would. All Tor users count as a single active user, so Holla Forums probably takes a small hit from that because of an above-average fraction of Tor users.

user don't meme me here.

Okay, update. I just tried some power supplies that I've guaranteed to be working and the server still won't boot. Something else is wrong. Either the new backplane I have also doesn't work or it's something else entirely.

Yeah, he's not memeing you. man

God fucking damnit, I didn't mix repos or anything. Can't I just use dpkg to install all the .deb files manually?

Use Aptitude to fix it and hopefully it will work. Ubuntu/Debian's package manager is a broken piece of shit.

Nah man, you're fucked.

Didn't work.

Even if I re-installed, wouldn't I have the exact same problem?

A few years ago I took pictures of myself trying to self suck my dingus, and some pics of my ass. I was in a phase where I thought tranies were hot and I was kind of gay.

How do I erase everything from my point so it's unrecoverable at all for SURE, like that HDD dban thing? I wanna sell the phone but I'd never know when it could get into some curious hands, like mine, and end up like those people in the fappening but without the celebrity part of it.

post them here
Really though, fill the phone up with trash, then delete everything

I did exactly what you said, filled up the phone with random files about 5 times. So even if I wanted too I couldn't retrieve them using software like Recurva (or whatever it's called). But is this really enough? I've read that the files will always be there on the phone waiting to be recovered by a skilled person. I even had some pictures of me sitting in fuckable positions and now I fucking detest trannies. Fuck me.

Will do, where do you live?
That's probably about as good as you can get. If you're really paranoid, just don't sell the fucking phone.

So I compiled and installed the latest version of LLVM using "cmake, make, sudo make install" and everything worked out well. However when configuring mesa before I compile it, it states the same two errors that I had here.
I looked for llvm-config in the /usr/local/lib/ directory and noticed that it was in usr/local/lib/cmake/llvm. I then entered "./configure --with-llvm-prefix=/usr/local/lib/cmake/llvm --enable-gallium-llvm" Which then tells me that they can't find llvm-config. I looked in the folder itself, and llvm-config really isn't there, only llvm-config.cmake. In fact, all files in this directory is appended with "cmake". Did LLVM in fact install the way that it should have? Was a folder named cmake in the /usr/local/lib directory containing files all appended with cmake what was supposed to have happened?

My steps:
Compiling LLVM:
cmake path/to/llvm/source/root LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB
make
sudo make install

Compiling Mesa
./configure
(results in: Could not find llvm shared libraries. If you have installed your llvm libraries to a different directory you can use the --with-llvm-prefix= configure flag to specify this directory)
./configure --with-llvm-prefix=/usr/local/lib/cmake/llvm
(results in: --enable-gallium-llvm is required when building r300)
./configure --with-llvm-prefix=/usr/local/lib/cmake/llvm --enable-gallium-llvm
(results in: --enable-gallium-llvm selected but llvm-config is not found)

Here's the error output along with the files in /usr/local/lib/cmake/llvm and my mesa folder

Thanks. I just upgraded Trisquel to the 64-bit version and LLVM compiled successfully.

When I do I'm told it's not a valid megalink.

It works fine when I include the whole megalink on its own, but when I include the folder identifier in the link it doesn't.

Looking for an android phone with 1080p screen, and at least 5.5" in size, ideally even 6". Bonus if there are custom rom options. Price around $140.

I'm looking at the Xiaomi Note 3, but I'm wondering if there are better options. It would be nice if it runs stock android out of the box, or a skin that is similar to it. Phone isn't for me, so I would like to avoid having to dick around with it more than once if possible.

You need the Consumer Advice sticky for this. You're in the Questions and Support sticky.

Fuck, just realized. Thanks.

how do I get this done? I think grub must be linked somehow with the HDD to work or is it not that way?
It is not like I can just put in a USB device and drag and drop it onto it.

other question:
what are the risks of UEFI and systemd? What are some attack scenarios?
I would hate to replace my UEFI mainboard but if I cannot trust the UEFI mainboard then I cannot trust the normal bios board either. I know that UEFI has those secure boot "features" who want to restrict your freedoms and things but I never understood how UEFI is worse than a normal bios from the same company as you cannot trust either.

Some guy replied to me in another thread that systemd attacks are very theoretical so maybe there are other oppinions.

How much of a concern should this be:
lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/26/876
Apparently there is a security risk in FX cpus and AMD released some blob to fix it.

Do I need to install this or should I just leave it?

Bump. What if I just built it from source, would that help?

Update, I think what might be causing the problem, namely using fglrx-driver rather than firmware-linux-nonfree libgl1-mesa-dri and xserver-xorg-video-ati, which was what I used on my last debian install (which ran wine32 fine).

Does anyone know why Turbo Mode won't work in my 3DS? I'm trying to load it through SaltySD, but it just loads vanilla Sm4sh. "Enable region/language emu. and ext. code" is on. SaltySD is detecting the desc.txt files just fine. SaltySD is enabled in the settings. Have I put the folder in the wrong place, or the wrong folder, or what could it be?
In addition, the game now lags noticeably compared to how it ran before. How do I diagnose and fix this?

Do windows 7 motherboard drivers work for windows 8.1? My motherboard manufacturer only has windows 7 and windows 10 drivers for the motherboard that I'm using. Would the windows 7 drivers work on windows 8.1 - I only need 8.1 to run some vidya.

Can anyone at least identify what the problem is? Am I seriously going to have to re-install debian just for this?

Why wouldn't win 7 work with the vidya? Win8 is basically win7 with some horribly flat paint splattered over it.

I have an unused 8.1 key - don't really care if I used 8 or 7 for vidya. I'm just wondering if windows 7 motherboard drivers would work for windows 8

Is there any easy to use alternative for LogMeIn Hamachi for gaming? I just think it looks really sketchy and I'd prefer it if it was FOSS.

No ;_;

Even tunngle is full of ads, just unusable. Gameranger only works for specific games. Evolve has shit connection. I have no idea what to use.

These are the alternatives Alternativeto provides, Hamachi is essentially just a VPN, right?
Zerotier One looks like it could work. It advertises itself with gaming.

Hi guys, I could successfully set Firefox, Firefox ESR, Cyberfox and Palemoon so they stop making automatic connections. (only make the first connection after I typed the address and pressed Enter)

But I can't do the same with Waterfox. I even tried straight up copying the config and profiles from the list above, but Waterfox keeps trying to connect to Amazon. And why does it spawn 2 processes at startup? None of the others do. Is Waterfox a honeypot or what?

Ok I did it, I removed ALL the urls in about:config. But damn, that was so many. God knows which one was a non-standard setting...
Only the first one seem to be true. "No data collection" means nothing. Or it means

I want a 2TB hard drive but a long while ago I heard they're not as stable as 1TB drives. Is that still the case today?

Is there a good alternative to Anki that doesn't use Qt, isn't webshit, and can read Anki's flashcard format? The last one isn't a hard requirement if there is a way to automatically convert between formats.
Qt is a pain in the ass to install on this computer to the point where I'd rather not deal with it at all if it's only for a single program.

I want to install one of those hot new Ryzen CPUs from my i5 3570. My PC has Windows 7, and I don't plan on it anytime soon. Will there be any problems cause by a new motherboard and CPU that doesn't officially support my OS?

I tried to put Eos onto my msi Aegis desktop which has an Nvidia GTX 1080 gpu. I tried to install the proper drivers (I went with the one that guides for Ubuntu said to use) a d it did not work. I tried an alternate version of the driver and it just set off a domino effect of more errors. Any help or suggested distros that can easily use the gpu would be immensely appreciated.

And no, you don't need to reinstall

It's great

Yes, this will always be true to some extent. Hard drives have been getting more unreliable as they increase in capacity. Although, the difference in reliability between a 1 and 2 tb drive isn't going to be very significant. It's when you get into >3tb that you get into higher failure rates.especially with a particular cheap 3 tb seagate shitshow that has a 30% failure rate tfw i have one of these drives

I have a source that I can provide if I have to, but it would take a while to find and I'd rather not try to.

God damn it. Well thanks anyway. Before next month is done I'll probably either get another 1TB or gamble with a 2TB. I'm surprised how quickly I filled the 1TB but that's mainly due to using it as a garage of sorts, hence the need of another so I can reorganize.

That reminds me. If something (like a game) is installed on one drive, would I just be able to copy/cut and paste to the other without any issues?

It's not really a gamble. We're talking like a 1 or 2% higher failure rate. Besides, what I said was just a general trend. Just look up the failure rates on the drive versus other drives and you'll be fine.

Get a Toshiba. All other HDD brands these days are utter crap. Also, get a 3TB. This is the price/capacity sweet spot today, and games/media ain't getting any smaller in the future.

Toshiba P300?
Are they really that good?

As long as he looks at the failure rates. Lots of 3 tb drives have shit reliability for some reason.

Yes. Or rather, all the competition are really that bad.
There's also the E300 which is slower and quieter. It's a solid, reliable drive too.


Lots of 3TB drives are not from Toshiba.

https:// www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q2-2016/
Seems like Toshiba has the second best failure rates, HGST coming in first.

HGST drives are ridiculously overpriced though.

https:// www.amazon.com/HGST-Ultrastar-HUS724030ALE641-Enterprise-Refurbished/dp/B01LYVD7ME/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1490210285&sr=1-2&keywords=HGST
Seems like an alright price to me but maybe this particular drive is a piece of shit or I'm just not up to date on hard drive prices.

Oh, it's refurbished. Gross. Nevermind.
Looks like their drives are pretty overpriced. Might be worth it though if you consider your data to be worth more than the drive itself.

In this case you make a RAID of more reasonably priced drives. And keep making regular backups.

I'm planning on installing vista.

If use the SHA-1 of vista ISO as a torrent magnet link will it work?

Enterprise HGST is overkill regardless of being refurbished/used.

Old HGST drives could last up to a decade of uptime especially the glass platter.

How good is Devuan compared to Debian?

Im having this REAL fucking wierd problem where when I try to play an mp3 file it randomly starts skipping 2/3 of the sound while speeding up to 3x playback speed. It either happens while opening the file or it doesnt randomly.

Which media player are you using? Does this happen just with mp3s or with audio files in general?

I just ran a sample size of 30 through winamp and it appears that only the WMP has the problem.
However it also affects video playback in muh vidya and I cant think of a single video game older than 2012 where I dont have extremely choppy and chunky video cutscenes or cut-off sounds.

Im not sure if its related but I have also severe micro-stutter in crysis1 despite 60FPS, were talking second long freezes every five seconds, and unplayable rubberbanding in Titan Quest, basically the game freezes, fast forwards the next 5 seconds, then freezes again, ad infinitum. Both games have also issues with cut-off sounds.

It sounds like a problem with your hardware or your drivers. Try booting Linux from a flash drive to see if it has the same problem. If it doesn't then it's a software problem.

Actually Im suspecting it its an issue in compatibility between CPU and MB actually cince it has a lot of ricer features I dont even know what they do or how to use them.

Son of a bitch, my 1TB HDD is Western Digital. Its been almost a year and nothing wrong, but still. Doesn't help that HGST prices are what I'd expect from SSDs nowadays. Decisions, decisions...


If funds weren't limited a RAID would be the ideal solution, along with external backups and just plain redundancy. Never know when portables will fail on you after all.

Keep in mind the drive count though. The rates are only like that because they had 1 drive fail out of 48.

*sample size

I agree with that, I have a 1TB HDD WD passport and dropped it few times because bad habit of sleeping with laptop and HDD on my bed yet it still works.
It's better to stick with 3TB>= drives that are newly made. First batch 3TB drives with outdated firmware are bad because they have high failrate but the new ones should be good.

Greater sample size matters. I think toshiba got hitachi drives in it based on the serial beginning with HD/HT so it gotta be good.

Is it possible to make your own CPU?

What would be the easiest way to incorporate a game controller to a program written in C? Any controller would do as long as it has at least two joysticks and 4+ buttons.
Would prefer as lightweight as possible (no OS settings and so on), but that might contradict "easy way".
I found this github.com/chrippa/ds4drv but would appreciate any advice as the solution has to be very reliable.

I'm thinking about creating a C compiler in haskell, how hard would this be?

That sounds like I have a 1 in 48 chance of getting a crap drive. The OS is on an SSD so it's not like the whole desktop will crash. Just some nigh-impossible and very tedious to retrieve files. However, I did notice a curious thing. Why are Western Digital 2TB HDDs locked at 5200 RPM? And is the Black variant worth the $100+?

Look into FPGA, that's as close as it gets

I'm using XFCE and I want to be able to type in the path when I save files, is there a way to make the file browser used normally the same one that is used when saving/selecting to firefox or chromium?

The top window in pic related is saving a file from firefox and the bottom one is Thunar

To make that less confusing I mean "top" by it is in front of the other window, not that its height is higher.

There was this Linux this hardware compatibility checking search engine but I can't remember the url, anyone 'member?

Am I hurting myself in the long run by trying to do as much as possible with HTML and CSS and avoiding Javascript as I learn web design? I'm slogging through learning Javascript now but it's only so that I can then move on to PHP.

Unfortunately I think the answer to this is that the two GTK and QT file pickers are big smelly pieces of fucking shit. One of the weakest parts of GNU/Linux systems in my opinion. I don't know why the hell there isn't more choice in file pickers or why people don't try to integrate file manager features into them.

Avoiding javascript as much as possible is a good design choice in my opinion. But there are a lot of things that are impossible without it, so you should learn it at some point.

I'm learning it now, I'm just not deriving any pleasure from it (because of my design choice to avoid it) and it has seriously slowed down my work on one of my sites as I try to get past it and move on to PHP which I actually have some need for.

Anything particularly useful that comes to mind among the list of things impossible without Javascript?

I prefer lower RPM HDDs for backup-only purpose.

There are tools like intel RST that lower the RPM or even force sleep during idle times.
^ I wouldn't recommend using that tool, though


not that user but it wouldn't hurt to learn javascript although every javascripts out there are really harmful and misused. It's like saying you hate flash because they're used on ads everywhere before.


you can make website out of pure HTML5, PHP and some compatible database/*SQL

retarded animations that take up 50% CPU, maybe and metadata botnet (webrtc like IP leaks through self ping, zombie DOM/cookies script, and canvas fingerprint)

That's because of GTK3 being total shit, Firefox on the other hand still uses GTK2's file chooser, I think. It is probably still possible to patch this into GTK3, probably not a big patch even.
If you find an existing patch somewhere on the web for this let us know. It doesn't matter for which distro it is as it can be easily modified to work for another distro.

Page updates like Holla Forums has.

forgot to say this but javascript is pretty good if you plan on developing client side applets like a browser game or a paint tool. I think you should learn Go instead of PHP.

... There are alternatives to PHP? Is the code still embedded in HTML like PHP is?

Do you mean scripting in general or would you suggest a webdev scripting language other than js?

There are a lot of alternatives to PHP, and there are ways to use just about any programming language that can print to standard output. The browser never sees PHP, it just sees PHP's output.


I mean javascript on the actual page. There are no real alternatives to that, except for compiling another language to javascript. If you can find a way to do something (properly) without using javascript then you should usually do it without using javascript. Might be what you mean by "scripting in general".

Minor issue. Browser cache (firefox) has a permanent and un-deletable 14kb in the cache. I am retard so no can fix. First happened just after I installed Kodi as 11kb but I was able to delete it after closing VPN and restarting firefox.

Returned next time after I used it 14kb and all my meagre efforts amount to nought. Can any of you nignogs lend a helping hand?

(and am I a spastic for even caring about it - I think it might just be for youtube search history in Kodi... but IDK)

Maybe I'll just use Python calls to edit HTML on user input then.

Just stop caring. 14 kilobytes doesn't matter.

That half-dead shitpile of nonfunctional, outdated sites makes me wanna cry.


Will this run a distro of Autix or no? I don't want to get fisted by Wangblows 9.99, goddamit.

You can't do that without reloading the page or involving javascript at some point. The python would have to run on the server, so the browser has to talk with the server to get the python output.

So what's so great about Go? I'm already somewhat irritated by the fact that you don't declare variable types in Javascript.

I'm learning linux and I figured ppas and how to install packages. I added qbittorrent's ppa but when I install I get v3.3.10 when the latest is 3.3.11. What gives? I'm using Mint 17.3 just to learn and will eventually get something else.

The software repository for more mainstream, "stable" distributions often contains programs that are behind the latest official release version.

Package versions are based on the specific distro version you're running. Why? Because they're build with libraries and other software packages that you have installed. So if program version Y-1.1 depends on libZ-3.4 and your repos have libZ-3.3 then you're stuck with a lower version of Y.
Mint is now already at 18.1 which also means newer software in the repos.

Would it be feasible to rent a cloud server for a few hours to initially compile everything?

Digitalocean charges about a doller per hour for their highest tier package which offers 20 cores from "server-grade Intel Hexcore processors" and 64GB of ram.

If this is worth it, how much of an improvement from an OCed 4690k should I expect?

So I would need to update to 18.1 to get the latest version of qbittorrent? That's crap. Thanks for the explanation I wish I was that knowledgeable on Linux. Although explained in my second reply it shows 3.3.11 at launchpad.net

(Holy quads)
I checked
launchpad.net/~qbittorrent-team/ archive/ubuntu/qbittorrent-stable/ packages
and for Trusty which is 14.04 which Mint 17 is based on has 3.3.11. Strange.

Just noticed the x where build status is. I should have paid more attention. I wonder when it'll be out, I don't feel unsafe running 3.3.10 but would like the latest.

Run this:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ apt-cache show qbittorrent | grep Version
Report back the version.

According to launchpad it's not ready for Ubuntu trusty. Thanks though.

Yeah I've noticed just now, and the version change on trusty was almost 3 weeks ago. Should come eventually. I wouldn't worry about things like that since the update is not a security update anyway.

Hi, Holla Forums.

My PSU is being pretty loud when under heavy usage. It is out of warranty. What do?

...

Profound.

this is why you never dimension any power circuitry to the bare minimum. Always try to keep the capacity double of what you need so your PSU is never under any major stress.

The logical decission would be to get a PSU with more watts and replace your old.
Your PSU will be designed for higher loads and the vent will never spin at full RPM if at all (many psus have a no spinning feature when loads are 25% or less).

By heavy load I mean a gtx780 working on a heavy game. The PSU is a Seasonic 620.

What is a good place to start for learning front end development? It seems to be a "good JS developer" I have to know 25+ tools and frameworks. Then everything changes every 6 months!

you can only find out by replacing the current psu. Maybe you have a spare or one in another computer. Normally the fan will only spin loudly on high loads but I also read that some fans will just start getting loud after some while. Maybe you could just replace the fan with a similar one.

No dice, I guess I'll just re-install. Thanks for the effort.

I'm not worried about it either was just wondering why I wasn't getting 3.11

Is there a way to make yaourt automatically say yes to all the questions? I want to install things without having to check back every so often and type y.

The fuck? Then what the fuck am I using right now?
Where can I get the latest icecat for windows?

Isn't Icecat just Firefox without the branding because Firefox's license has some retarded subclause about branding? Why are you using Icecat on Windows?

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfo

What did he mean by this?

It means you don't have the terminfo library installed.

Install your ncurses developer libraries. terminfo can be its own library, but nowadays it's usually part of ncurses.

You are thinking of iceweasel.
Icecat is fully libre, it is free software as defined by the GNU

Use pacaur. Though it depends on cower which has bad pgp keys or something like that. I use yaourt for that reason, I'm a dumb fuck and can't figure out how to fix this.

Don't do that yet, try:
sudo aptitude install wine32

If that is a no go, try:
dpkg --get-selections | grep hold

That second one will help figure out the problem if he first one failed

Ah, sorry, it's been a while since I used Debian.

So I opened my PC to clean shit. I usually don't remove the PSU as all of its holes are reachable anyway. This time I did and I completely forgot the case had something under it. A dust filter. Removed that shit and it is now running the quietest it has ever did. While playing a game with heavy GPU load. I guess the dust filter was quick to accumulate dust and make it hard to breath, which made the PSU fan also struggle when under load. It doesn't sound like a tractor any more. Dust filters not even once, I guess? It probably would be nice if it wasn't facing a carpet too?

Does anyone know of some good resources to learn about RDF-HDT and SPARQL? I'll google it myself tomorrow since it's already 5 am but it'd be nice to wake up with an answer.

Why would you do that to yourself, user? Are you a masochist? Or worse, A FAGGOT?

No, of course not. You need the SHA-1 of the torrent file.

You're using an outdated version of Icecat. Install Firefox, install some extensions for it (HTTPS Everywhere and uBlock Origin, for a start), and look up about:config tweaks for better privacy. That gives you most of the benefits of Icecat.

did they stop the windows builds or something?

Every time I try to compile, I get an error stating that the compiler can't find GL/glu.h even though I have GLEW installed. I've tried looking this up online, but I only got results of people missing GL/glut.h which was fixed by them installing GLUT

Toshiba is in the same league as HGST and is priced reasonably.


Toshiba bought their HDD production lines from HGST (which was earlier spun off from Hitachi). These are the same drives. Well, improved successors to them.

Not hard, but very tedious. A SMOP, basically.

You are supposed to clean it once in a while. Once it gets clogged with dust, of course that it will obstruct airflow.

Have you tried installing GLU?

1.8V DDR3 in a 1.5V motherboard, is it possible?

DDR3 is 1.5V only, with 1.35V and 1.25V DDR3L and DDR3U, respectively.
Make sure it's actually DDR3, because I do know that DDR2 is 1.8-1.9V.

Already tried that famalam, and it didn't work.

You probably already did but check ilo again and see if there are any new hardware errors logged. Not sure what else you could try at this point.

oddly enough these say ddr3 and 1.8v.

The dpkg command is for getting information, what did it return?

Ok Holla Forums I need to learn javascript, what's the best way to do so? This is coming from someone who has used a decent amount of C and a limited amount of C++ with little else.

doesn't matter, it has to be javascript

Also this is potentially unrelated but what's a good language to write a basic web-based DAW/sequencer in (and what's the best way to learn it)? I say potentially because for all I know the answer is javascript.

I'm aware

GLU is a header file and isn't something to be installed. I thought it would've been installed when I installed mesa 17. I took a look at /usr/include/GL where it should be, and didn't find glu.h in there, just other files.

Here I am trying to install GLUT because I thought it would give me the glu.h that I needed, but it won't compile since it requires this glu.h file

I have a crappy laptop with 2GB RAM and Intel Atom N455. I've been thinking about switching away from Windows 7 and Firefox towards some other, lighter OS but I don't know which one would fit this POS right.

Any recommendations?

It's only an upgrade if you are already using Windows but
why are you even on this board?

If you know why anti-virus can't work, you should know why this can't work.

kde wm theme broken. what do?
only oxygen and breeze works.
KDE 5.32.0
plasma 5.9.4

What themes aren't working?

KDE uses QT, so you need to use QT themes, not GTK, though GTK applications will use the GTK theme instead still, so it's best to use a theme that supports both GTK and QT.

all windows decorations won't work except the native ones like oxygen (as shown) and breeze (active).
if i activate them they become transparent although I can still press the title bar buttons.

I don't really know how to fix that, maybe I'm not the person to help you. I suggest if you want to just reset kde, delete .Kde4. it should be named something like that

Try glxinfo and glxgears, see hwat output you get.

thanks for helping btw I think I found the problem.
Compositor is causing it. OpenGL rendering backends cause the title bar to disappear.
atm, using Xrender for screen composting fixes the problem.

GLU is a library that gets linked with your program, not just a header file. It's usually a separate package, called glu or libglu. Dunno what name your distro uses. I'm running Arch myself.

Also, GLUT should be in your distro's repos. You shouldn't need to compile it yourself.

Any Linux distro should run well enough. You're lucky you've got one of those Atoms with Intel's own in-house GPU. It's utter crap, but at least it has linux drivers.

Also bear in mind that modern Wine won't be able to run any 3D games for Windows, as nowadays it requires GL 2.0 for D3D emulation, and your GPU supports only 1.4.

Can a X260 (standard specs) run shogun 2 in wine?

wat?

Nothing.

My Polaroid TV which I use as a monitor keeps rebooting itself at random. It's been doing this for three weeks. I use Windows 10 Home and have a AMD Radeon R9 M360 2GB GPU. I'm using an HDMI cable to connect it to my computer and I don't have any other monitors that could use an HDMI cable, nor a DVI cable or monitors that could use a DVI cable. I've got the latest drivers and the problems started happening after either I cleaned the TV or after a Windows 10 update. I don't remember, I have brain problems.

VPN work one time per boot, Linux Mint 18.1, openvpn.
I have about 10 imported configurations for VPN (same provider, different countries). It suddenly stopped working as it used to.

I determined that it works 1 time after restart and that's it. If I turn on let's say "configUSA" after reboot it will work. After that I turn it off, then decide to turn on again any config (including that one) VPN will no longer work until I restart PC. What I mean by "no longer work" is that it supposedly connects to the VPN (there is a success notification like any other time), except I can no longer connect to anything (I basically get connection timeout after some time).

I tried reinstalling openvpn, reimporting configs etc. Nothing helps. Halp?

Sooo. I'm doing linux from scratch. I'm on my second pass of gcc, and for some reason make fails because it calls "ar x" instead of "ar -x". It wasn't a problem on the first pass. I tried grepping around to find out where the call is and just change it, but to no avail. What should I do? should I change the name of ar to something else, and replace it with a shell script that substitutes the proper flags? Is there something simpler I'm not aware of?

The "-" is optional for ar (like tar). The real reason must be something else. What's the error message?

I get the same error when I try to use ar from the command lime without the "-". If I use the "-" it works fine.

post output plz

Then you don't hold specifically broken packages, so the problem is some where else, I believe?

If you want to reinstall at this point you can just do that, because I don't know what to do.

Sorry man.

I just tried using ar without the "-" to post the output, and it worked this time. Last time I got the same error as make. It even had the unicode fuckery.

Matey I know there's 99% chance this won't help. I had issue with installing fresh packages the other day (well for months now, actually).

It turned out that my /boot partition was full, and required stuff (namely, the fresh core) couldn't unpack there preventing loads of other shit from installing.

Apparently if you make an account in OS X and don't specify a name for it, it will be given one automatically. Can somebody elaborate on this to me?

I need to know how this works for homework but it isn't in any of the chapter material and google returns nothing. The instructor has made it painfully obvious that his chinese ass has no fucking clue where the answer comes from, only what it says in the grading key.

About to upgrade my computer and I can either go win10 or dual boot linux with win 7. Which one should I go for?

Why do you hate freedom so much?

Friend runs win10 and he doesn't have any problems. As for me I don't like the interface of it and the data microsoft collect is scary.
I haven't been on a linux machine in close to 20 years but taking a look at Ubuntu it looks like it'll serve me well going forward.
Yeah, I'll go with that.

Ubuntu is good. Mint is better, imho. They are both infested with poetteringware, but even that is still better than winblows.

I was going to install Cygwin and found out about Swan Desktop. Thought it was neat, tried it out. I'm wondering if I even need to get Cygwin since Swan seems to be running Xfce using it. Is there any reason to install Cygwin if I am using Swan? I like Xfce and Thunar anyway so it is nice

highlight whatever you're trying to read, or choose a lighter color for your theme by editing it manually

Why is that even a question?

user, we're better than that.

You will need to use a light theme just for PM. Try running it like this:
env GTK_DATA_PREFIX="" GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk-2.0/gtkrc palemoon
Close all PM windows before running this, otherwise it won't reload the theme.

Will it be enough? Or do i really have to buy a fuck huge portable?

diablotek and I don't see why anyone would buy that.

So this is what happened -

Earlier this week my laptop randomly would not boot up any more. It has there hard drives all of which I believe are SSD. About one day before I went through for the first time in about ten months and picked out the non-dangerous Windows updates, which is really the only major change it would have endured.

Hard Drive 0 has a Windows 7 OS on it. Hard Drive 1 is mostly data but has a separate partition with RemixOS on it.

I managed to run a diagnostic from the boot menu and found that everything was supposedly working fine hardware-wise. But the only thing I was able to boot from was the ethernet port. I had my boot disks mailed over and yesterday and went in to run a system repair and was surprised - not only had HD0 lost the boot files, but the entire hard drive was both wiped and unformatted.

I have everything fixed now. I haven't found any corruption to my data drive (thankfully) but I also haven't found anything that might have caused it. A quick search shows people proposing the possibility a virus (which I find very unlikely but not impossible) or a possible failure characteristic to SSD, but nothing specific.

Also, I can't boot up RemixOS any more. I already used it for what I needed it to do, but it's still a little strange.

Hello.

I am building a computer as a daily driver and to play video games with. I want to eventually set up a windows VM for this purpose with my main graphics card being passed through. As far as I know, I need a mobo as well as a cpu that support a form of IOMMU. Finding out whether a given CPU supported either of IOMMU or VT-d was easy, but I am having some trouble finding out whether a motherboard supports it or not.

Intel's Z270 chipset claims to support VT-d, and my main question is:
A motherboard I am considering, the Asus Prime Z270-A uses said Z270-chipset, does that automatically mean that it supports VT-d?

I haven't found any relevant information on Asus' website, does user have any Idea on where I can go to check?

From the Z270 specs:

That still leaves the question open of how to determine VT-d compatibility.

I apparently got a virus that makes my browser open up a site called gamereleasedate.info everytime I start up my pc. Just to be clear: it didn't change my homepage or any of my browser settings, it only opens up when I my pc was turned on.
So my question is if anyone has any experience with this and if a regular scan with anti-malware/virus software will get rid of it.

*when my pc
It also seems to be slowing down my browser and pc in general.

I am currently using windows 10 on a secondary PC and it appears that windows partitioned my SSD into 2 partitions. One has 349mb (pic related showing the folder structure of it) and appears to be boot related. It has been assigned to the drive letter "D". Problem is I need the drive letter D reclaimed.

What should I do? If I assign a different drive letter to that partition, will my computer refuse to boot? If so, how can I solve this problem?

Malwarebytes scan solved the issue, sorry for making posts about it but I just got a little bit paranoid.

unassign it in disk manager

I used to use the stylish plugin back in the day. There are probably better ways to fix it these days. Its stupid that its an issue in the first place.

You need to install the -dev version of whatever glut packages you installed, you care about the headers, so those have the headers. If you are on Fedora or some shit, you need to change the -dev to -devel.

I'm the fag with the fucked HP server. Finally figured out the issue, the voltage regulator on the system board is fucked. If anyone trips a sensor "VRD_FAILED_RED" in their BMC, that's what that means. Anyone know if it's even possible to replace this? I'll do some soldering if I have to.

How do I find a good open source project to contribute to ? I want to get into open source and become one of these computer wizards.

Is there something I can try to make it work properly in 64? Maybe allocate some files somewhere else? Change format? I have no experience with this OS at all.

Open it through a terminal and see if you get any information from errors.

You likely don't have 64-bit versions of some system libraries installed. Listen to this guy:

Uhhhhh... yeah, about that. I don't know any commands.

The path is /home/music/… (note the beginning slash)

I just don't know, man.

Apparently, it's /home/Music rather than /home/music

I was having issues with the proprietary NVIDIA graphics driver so I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but now my computer won't start and I urgently need help.

When I boot it up, it tells me that initramfs failed. My understanding is that this means that my computer is trying to initialise the OS from a location prior to the installation of the NVIDIA drivers and is failing to do so.

I've tried hitting e and adding nomodeset but that hasn't helped. I've tried hitting c and trying to find the new location using ls but it doesn't seem to work.

All the solutions require me to be able to log in, but if I try to log in in text-only mode, it tells me that several grub files cannot be found and sends me back to the grub menu.

Please help, I need my PC soon and I don't know what commands I can put into the c or e grub menus that will help from here.

Unix filenames are case-sensitive, user. Pay attention to that.

Also, the unix path of the "Home" directory from the file manager is /home/your_user_name. Or "~" as a shorthand (tilde character).
The full path in your case is therefore ~/Music/3D-CoatV4-7/

Why the fuck is it in "Music", anyway?

Do you still have the live media that you used? If so chroot into your install and see if you can run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. However reinstalling will likely be way easier as all your config files should in theory be on a separate partition to your system files. However you desirve this and more for using the none free drivers.

Thinking is hard, okay? I tried some voodoo on it, including moving it around (works the same).

Okay, I got this message, what now?

Okay, we're getting somewhere. You don't have libpng 1.2.x installed. What distro are you using?

Boot a live CD and work from there.

chapeau, its redhat for babbies

Kill yourself, faggot. Nouveau is utter shit and you know it. This is not an AMD GPU that has decent open drivers.

yum install libpng12

Done.

Should I reboot the system? 3d Coat still has the bug.

No, that shouldn't make any difference. Installation failed anyway, for some reason:

Try
dnf install -bv libpng12

Got this, still no text in the program.

What does your program say when you run it from the terminal this time?

Also, is that the whole output? Seems to be missing last few lines.

I was hoping to avoid this but I'm making one now. I'd have loved to avoid using the proprietary drivers but the free ones are shit. I'll let you know if I run into any issues with the live disk. Thanks for your help.

No, it's just me being a moron again.


No such file directory.

PS No wait, I changed from root to admin and retried the path again. It started the program, but still bugged and with no error messages in the terminal

Fug. Guess we'll have to find out which libs it tries to load the hard way.
Post output of
strings ~/Music/3D-CoatV4-7/3d-coat-64 | grep .so

It spat out this.

Also is the second picture a normal thing?

Double fug. OK, another attempt:
Run this command while the 32-bit version is running:
grep \\.so /proc/$(pidof 3d-coat-32)/smaps
Post output (warning, may be big).


It is if you run GUI shit from the terminal and don't close it beforehand.

Okay, now run the 64-bit version and this command:
grep \\.so /proc/$(pidof 3d-coat-64)/smaps
We'll see what differs.

PS: surround large listings like this in code tags, like so:
[code]
...pasted shit...
[/code]
It's more readable this way.

u mad?

You'll probably want to install the binary Nvidia driver now. The open one you're now using is slow as shit. It's enough to render accelerated desktop, but you will suffer trying to work with detailed models.

You mean like this?

if-not-true-then-false.com/2015/fedora-nvidia-guide/#before-installation

Does this cover CUDA?

I've got a 750Ti btw, seems to be working okay for basic sculpts.

If it's working fine for you, then feel free to disregard that. Just remember that if you ever need more GPU performance, you can easily get it.

Any particular walkthroughs you recommend? I really don't know my ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to managing Linux.

i got a vodafone smart prime 7 for free and i want to root it. Is kingroot good or should i use something else?

The rule of thumb is - whenever possible, don't install shit manually (especially low-level system components like drivers). You might end up having to track down dependency problems and missing libraries if you do hint hint, and uninstalling/upgrading might be a bitch too.

Use what your distro's repositories provide to you.

plz halp

Complications, yet again. I can find the helper in my applications, however it lacks the relevant option, picrel. Trying to install it results in:

8ch is decentralized by nature

...

Anons, my rig's really pissing me off:

I had an old build that I wanted to update, it took replacing every component except ram sticks, case and HDD.
Now the HDD's failed too and I've replaced that.
Though the problem is that now, after installing windows, drivers, updates and such I started getting random restarts (blacks out and restarts almost immediately - no notice) on a pretty damn frequent basis.

components list is here:
pcpartpicker.com/list/Rs9CvV

850w 80+ gold corsair psu is new, above system needs and worked fine thus far; gpu is new and had no issues either.

I suspected a driver, but the restarts were preventing me from investigating so I reformatted the (new) HDD (including partitions) and started over...now I'm getting random restarts even before managing to install the drivers...

Can /tech help me? What the fuck's going on?

ark.intel + the cpu you want to use. lists the features.

I had a similar issue, system was apparently overheating however after creating another custom .iso and reinstalling it I haven't had many power issues (if any). So it has to be a driver some where. I`l upload it later today.

As don't be as it is way better here than a thread on the board it's self.

Not today. I know but this is what you desirve for buying NIVIDA. mostly kiding, or am I?.

Since when does politics relate at all to the reduncy of a site? Unless you mean a different version of decentralized.

Any updates applied? Did anything happen while updates where being applied (e.g. forced shutdown, input/out errors)? Has the DNS file been changed? What happens if the contents are changed to another provider?

It`s ok for rooting however it depending on your specific model that could be your only choice.

Some people buy their PCs well before they first think of switching to Linux, user. That, and their proprietary driver is really solid, if you don't mind the icky blobbiness.

Why is youtube frowned on for learning code? What about online tutorials/references? I feel books are too slow and harder to navigate to get the parts I need. Is it best to follow something organized and finish it or just start with a project from zero and look everything up? If the latter, how much copypasting is too much? Does the severity strictness of these guidelines change according to language?

though this happened again with the clean install - I couldn't get through the customization options (cortana n shieet) at the beginning that I got a black out & restart already.

am definetly going to try remaking the installation media and hoping it was just a bad OS file...it's not overheating.

Anything I need to be aware of before switching to Qubes os?
Can I replace Systemd?
Would a custom or other distro be more secure?

It will be Windows 7 though, so it may in theory not install if you are using the latest CPU`s.

I know I have to do that to unassign it, but my question is: won't that screw up my boot process and render windows 10 unbootable?

Only one way to find out!

I've just lost my Linux PC to installing/reinstalling the NVIDIA drivers for the third time in a year. I was running Fedora, and now I'm considering trying out something else since I have to reinstall anyway.

Should I go with OpenSUSE or Arch? Or should I just admit defeat (even though I was really happy with Fedora) and go with Ubuntu?

I would suggest Void (however I am biased as it is my daily driver).

...

does seem to get shilled a lot i noticed

Do I need to format my broken HD before I try to install a new OS? Or can I do that through the BIOS liveCD install?

In theory you could replace systemd but it's pretty hard to do for dom0. AppVMs would be easier but expect to compile code. The good thing is the VM isolation makes it harder to attack one VM from another.
Can't really claim it's more or less secure than a hardened distro. They are used for different purposes and provide security differently. The Xen hypervisor is on par with similar commercial hypervisors as far as exploits.

Any running linux system can repartition and/or reformat drives. That includes a LiveCD.

Well I'm running an Arch livecd and I can see the partitions already on my HD, but I don't know how to format them and repartition them as needed by Arch.

I know needing a graphical interface is babby tier, but since I have 0 experience with Arch this installation makes me appreciate Fedora's simple installation.

Could you or someone else please help me install Arch? I have 4 partitions presently apparently, 2x 500mb and 2x 1.8tb on a 2tb HD. I'm looking at the archiso text command screen.

I wasn't originally download wikipedia, but now it's downloading from wikipedia. Is it just downloading images, or have I begun to download the whole internet?

Have you read

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning

and

wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fdisk#Create_partitions

?

Kek, you chose the hard mode I see.

Partitions are formatted using the mkfs.whatever commands (replace whatever with the filesystem type you want to create, e.g. ext4 or btrfs). Man is your friend, as always.

Follow the ArchWiki from there:
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide

Is there an easier mode? I've been following that link and I don't see one.


Thanks, trying presently.

I can see in the guides how to format and partition a HD, but how do I unpartition it first? I want it to be a single unified HD before I start partitioning it into smaller pieces?

Okay fams I used cfdisk to repartition the disk and made 2 partitions like the guides suggest, 1 that's yyuge and 1 that's the swap drive.

But now I'm supposed to mkfs it to ext4, but it's telling me the drives don't exist. When I cfdisk I can see that they do. Why is this an issue?

When is an AI considered self-aware/having a conscience?

Did you write your changes to disk?

Yes. "The partition table has been altered". Also when I exit and reenter cfdisk my changes are still there.

But mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 still gets me "the file /dev/sda2 does not exist and no size was specified".

I'll also mention that the /sda1 drive is already ext4 (I can see in the cfdisk menu) while /sda2 lacks the filesystem UUID and filesystem information.

I've just installed Arch Linux, and now I'm trying to install the graphical interface. First I have to install the display server and display driver, but my pacman commands are giving me library download errors.

What do? I've already generated a new mirrorlist, and my internet is definitely working.

Pls help, I've now been spending a full day trying to install Arch and I haven't been able to resolve this issue.

Whenever I use a pacman command, I get "failed to update multilib (download library error); failed to synchronise databases; failed to init transaction (download library error). I've updated my pacman.conf file to include nearby mirrors, I don't know what else to do.

Update: I still can't use pacman, but when I went into the pacman.conf file and recommented (#) the multilib lines, I get a different error message "failed to retrieve some files; failed to commit transaction (download library error); errors occurred, no packages were upgraded".

I'm running 64bit, and I'm pretty sure I've disabled ipv6. Please help.

what did you try from the this list? Did you try to update everything with pacman -Syu first?
wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Troubleshooting
what is your output for
ping www.wikipedia.org

Arch itself is hard mode.


The kernel only reads the partition table once at boot and assumes it doesn't change subsequently. You need to force it to re-read the PT to see the changes:
blockdev --rereadpt $DISK
Rebooting the system would also work.

This might be a weird question but anyone have any ideas about what to write on a rapport about fixing computers? (both hardware and software) I've already written 12 pages and I need 4 more.

Increase the font size.

If it's a hard requirement, consider switching schools, you aren't getting your money's worth. If it's soft, padding won't help you.

They don't have a minimum page requirement but it's like a known thing that it should be around 16 pages.

I ended up bailing on Arch and going for the other end of the scale and installing Ubuntu, because I never tried it - I went straight to Fedora. The installation was the easiest thing I've ever done in my life, and I'm not really liking the system so far, but I'm going to give it a go for a while anyway. Thanks for your help.

But I've already run into an issue on Ubuntu. I've tried to install VLC and Wine and they both tell me "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." Any suggestions?

I've already googled it and none of the solutions have worked. I've tried updating, upgrading, and "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update", as well as manually installing the broken packages, but I get the same result when I try that.

Try changing your bandwidth settings.

I use Bittorrent on Windows 10 when I torrent stuff once every few days or so (if that, really). Up until recently, it's been working fine but within the past couple weeks, my computer has crashed at least half a dozen times when I torrent anything 2+ GB in size and it's almost always the exact same "bcmwl63a.sys" error with the "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" stop code. I experimented a little to see if anything would make it better while torrenting shit: leaving the computer lid up until it was done, resetting my wi-fi connection, updating my wireless drivers, having nothing but Bittorrent open, trying alternate torrents for what I wanted, and even deleting/redownloading the latest version of Bittorrent to see if the program itself was the problem... nothing worked.

Well, its obviously broken driver. Be a man, and get a cable. Wifi is for cheap nigger.

The router is an entire floor down on the other side of the house. It used to be up in my room just a couple feet away when we first moved in but it's now downstairs in the living room. Simply put, unless my stepdad somehow agrees to pay hundreds of dollars to have someone else drill holes in his house and run a shit ton of cable to opposite ends of it on the mere chance that it may improve upload/download speed is out of the question atm.

I've tried mint, arch, manjaro and xubuntu across different devices and the mouse pointer is always extremely unresponsive compared to windows or macos. How do you fix it? I need it to feel perfect.

Can anyone explain how this java code manages to draw rectangles?

import java.awt.Color;import java.awt.EventQueue;import java.awt.Graphics;import java.awt.Graphics2D;import java.awt.Rectangle;import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;import java.awt.event.ActionListener;import java.io.IOException;import java.util.ArrayList;import java.util.Random;import javax.swing.JFrame;import javax.swing.JPanel;import javax.swing.Timer;public class Foo { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { new Foo().createAndShowGUI(); } }); } public void createAndShowGUI() { DrawingPanel panel = new DrawingPanel(); Timer timer = new Timer(42, new ActionListener() { @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { panel.addNewRectangle(); panel.repaint(); } }); timer.start(); JFrame frame = new JFrame("Example"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.setContentPane(panel); frame.setSize(800, 600); frame.setVisible(true); } private class GameRectangle extends Rectangle { private Color color; public GameRectangle(int x, int y, int width, int height, Color color) { setBounds(x, y, width, height); setColor(color); } public void draw(Graphics2D context) { context.setColor(getColor()); context.fill(this); } public Color getColor() { return color; } public void setColor(Color color) { this.color = color; } } private class DrawingPanel extends JPanel { private final Random RANDOM = new Random(); private ArrayList rectangles; public DrawingPanel() { setRectangles(new ArrayList()); } @Override public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { super.paintComponent(g); Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create(); for (GameRectangle rectangle : getRectangles()) { rectangle.draw(g2); } g2.dispose(); } public void addNewRectangle() { getRectangles().add(createRandomRectangle()); } private Color createRandomColor() { return new Color(RANDOM.nextInt(255), RANDOM.nextInt(255), RANDOM.nextInt(255)); } private GameRectangle createRandomRectangle() { return new GameRectangle(RANDOM.nextInt(getWidth()), RANDOM.nextInt(getHeight()), RANDOM.nextInt(420), RANDOM.nextInt(420), createRandomColor()); } public ArrayList getRectangles() { return rectangles; } public void setRectangles(ArrayList rectangles) { this.rectangles = rectangles; } }}

The bit I don't get is paintComponent(Graphics g). g is casted to a Graphics2D object named g2, which is drawn on, and at the end of the function g2 is just thrown away with g2.dispose(). I know the code works but I don't know how. Surely g should be drawn on, not g2?

Isee. I had problems with broadcom network hardware in w10 too (spurious link loss). I've had to revert driver version back to one from 2011 until it started working reliably.

You'll have to also coax windows 10 to stop automatically updating drivers.

Not really related to software or hardware stuff, but what sites do you guys like to go to for Holla Forums news and events ?

Well, you were right: it was in fact a wireless driver issue. I (sort of) followed your advice in the second post by uninstalling my current driver, restarting my computer and letting it automatically install a new one. I could tell almost immediately that it was a different one entirely, or at the very least a different version, because it's now called "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter" instead of just "Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter." I tested out the connection by torrenting something almost 4 GB big through BT, and lo and behold it worked the first time. Thanks a lot for the tips; I was about to just say "fuck it" and call Microsoft's tech support again to see if it would've actually made a difference the second time around but I'm glad it didn't have to come to that.

Halp pls. My Ubuntu is telling me "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."

Also my keyboard is wrong, but I don't know how to fix/change it. The keys aren't properly fixed to what they should be.

Open system settings (whatever it is called on your distro/DE) and play with mouse acceleration knobs.

How do I DL a legit windows 7 image without a working CD key?

I used to evade bans by just restarting my router but that doesn't work now. The fuck happened?

Running Fedora, trying to install NVIDIA graphics drivers. I managed to install the 64 bit drivers, and I've rebooted and checked that they're operating rather than Nouveau.

However I need the 32 bit drivers for Steam, and I don't know how to install them. I've tried a variety of commands and I keep getting "Error: package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-1:375.39-3.fc25.i686 requires xorg-x11-drv-nvidia = 1:375.39-3.fc25, but none of the providers can be installed
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)"

--allowerasing doesn't do anything. What do?

Also, if I try to install Steam without the 32 bit driver (I assume this is the issue) I get "Error: package steam-1.0.0.53-1.fc25.i686 requires mesa-libGL(x86-32), but none of the providers can be installed
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)"

Manually trying to install mesa-libGL tells me it's installed. It may be a package conflict issue, but I don't know what to do about it.

i've recently gotten off some messaging services that did not respect my freedoms or privacy. i now feel lonely. is there anything that i can get on and talk to people easily? is riot.im good for this?

This is what I get when I run -allowerasing.

"Error: package steam-1.0.0.53-1.fc25.i686 requires mesa-libGL(x86-32), but none of the providers can be installed

Trying to run a Steam game (Shadowverse) through Wine on Ubuntu, but after installation I keep getting told there's not enough available space.

help mangs, this is really troublesome
dual boot with windoes 7 for years now, suddenly it decided to make a boot coup, and its doing it every time now...

it begins by simply booting into windows and doing whatever, I don't noticed anything different going on, next itme I boot I get bios "CSM error" this is related with boot compatibility method, there is nothing I can do there,
next time it just boots to windows automatically and there are no entries of other options available

note: I'm using rEFInd and boot EFI on both system, afaik the ESP partition is still alive
I can change it back according to rodsbooks.com/refind/bootcoup.html
but next time I use windows again another coup happens... what can I do?

no wonder your connection is shit. Get a cable or get one of those devolo things


Michaelsoft binbows probably overwrote your linux bootloader (grub). You might try to reinstall it on your first hard drive. Look for install grub tutorials or similar.

How do I avoid that? I cleared all internet history except for saved passwords and and autocomplete forms with piriform Ccleaner before restarting the router and ban still stands.

And if it is of any relevance, the ban I was handed was for a post someone else made.

if you're going to give advice at least know what you're talking about...
my boot loader is rEFInd, uefi is based on ESP partitions, not "install in first drive" thing...
I know how to restore the boot entry, but windows keeps stealing it somehow,
all of this stated in my previous post

I know, I'm just paranoid about losing my stuff. I have about 15+ years of stuff that has been moved from drive to drive every upgrade, but now I'm paranoid about losing it all.

Usercloud also has a free account with a unlimited file size however files will get deleted after no downloads after a month. Also there is the chance any cloud provider that the data will get deleted due to a DMCA or similar. One question, how much data is there?

I just flashed OpenWRT on my router, what's the best way to set up an adblock on it?

Cloud Storage would be service like google drive that stores your data, so more of a consumer front-end. NFS is just a simple network file-system that you could use if setting up a server share-drive yourself

Try changing your DNS servers.

I've had good luck with Mediafire for long term storage of rarely used stuff. Upload it, forget it, it'll still be there years later. They will remove stuff for DMCA violations, though. When in doubt, encrypt and zip before uploading.

Probably around 10 gigs. It's scattered over my current hard drive so it's hard to say.


Mediafire doesn't make your files public right? I'm already encrypting, and for certain things I encrypted an encrypted file. Passwords were 75 characters in length.

Nothing in the files is illegal, I just don't want some weirdo watching videos of my family at Christmas in 2010, or my unfinished songs I wrote. I know the CIA (and maybe the FBI) already can if they wanted to, not concerned about them, there's nothing you can do about them.

aight Holla Forums Ive got the wierdest of problems

after I rolled back hardware changes from an nvidia grafix card to an AMD, the AMD does not plug and play anymore

the practical issue is that after the wangblows loading animation both my monitors shut off as if they were disabled
this shit even persists in safe mode

the culprits might have been either the amd cleanup utility, or nvidia localizing their fucking settings, either way I have no way to access my shit in its current state

so is there a way to hard reset output settings on wangblows 7, or am I in for an OS reinstall again?

found your problem
boot into advanced boot options and try VGA mode, or low res mode (sevenforums.com/tutorials/666-advanced-boot-options.html) if that doesn't work reinstall

What's a good video recording software for wangblows 7?
I need one with desktop mode to explain something to my friends.

Youre my favourite nigga, nigga.
Took me the extra step of plugging in an old GT 220 to set up the multiboot timer to 10 seconds but It did work in the end.

So I decided to buy a better motherboard. After installing, being the asshole that I am, didn't think that I'd have to reinstall Windows. But no big deal since I still have it on a bootable USB. When when trying to install it, I kept getting the 'unplug media device and let windows start regularly' or whatever the message is. I assume it did that because Windows was on my HDD but couldn't boot from the HDD. So if buy a new harddrive, and SSD since I need one anyway, and plug that in instead of my HDD, will that fix my problem?

What's everybody using as a feed reader to avoid reddit faggotry?

All I want is to see a list of new articles from sites I respect when I start the browser.

Does incognito mode on IOS chrome load all web history, cached images and other browser data to RAM so it can't be recovered with file recovery software?

You get a public section and a private section. Just use the private section.

Nobody on Earth can access a file encrypted with a good algorithm and a strong passphrase. The alphabet agencies are subject to the same laws of physics and mathematics as everyone else.

What's a good, simple linux movie editor?

Same user here again. The good news is that my Internet connection is still ok. The bad news is that my D: and E: disc drives no longer recognize anything I put into them. Just yesterday, my D: drive was working fine, and now all of a sudden when I put a CD in, it starts up for a moment, opens up a new File Explorer tab, gives me a "Please insert a disc into drive D:" error, dies down and then automatically pops the disc out. My external disc drive that I use for ripping BD's, DVD's and CD's worked the first couple times after my D: drive went and now the same damn thing happens with that as well. I tried uninstalling both disc drivers in the Device Manager section, restarting my computer and trying them again like with how I fixed my wireless driver but I still get the same error each time. What do?

Alright this is pissing me off.
Fresh install of funtoo, i just finished compiling basic shit like a terminal emulator. Everything except the audio works, i'm using alsa and I get no output. If i play a music file with VLC and pick an audio output it works, but nothing else does.

I have a Dell Latitude D620, with a C2D T7200 and an NVS 110M. Should it be chugging on 720p YouTube vids? Just using Xubuntu on it for now. I don't have many computer options right now.

Configure alsa.

I configured /etc/asound.conf . Isn't that enough? Here's what it looks like.
defaults.pcm.!card Nvidiadefaults.pcm.!device 1defaults.pcm.!ctl Nvidia
nvidia is my gpu's built in sound card and device 1 is the second hdmi output.

You don't even need to start the browser. Get a standalone feed reeder.
quiterss.org/

kdenlive.org/
cinelerra-cv.org/
lives-video.com/

Post output of these two commands:
aplay -laplay -v /dev/zero

Through a browser - yes, browsers are shit at video playback. Try a standalone player like SMPlayer. Yes, it can stream directly from YouTube.

hey Holla Forums, why doesn't Holla Forums let me post with the PIA socks proxy using foxy proxy?
It keeps asking me for the captcha, as if its not able to stick its cookie up my ass.

I don't know java, but have you looked at the imported files? Looks like its using functions from there to do it.

Gee, I don't know.

You're likely a faggot and your ass is too loose to hold that cookie.

How dare you.
This is a serious issue.

Loose anus is indeed a serious issue.

Well you're just a projecting bully-troll!

Is it normal that regular (say, once a month) brief power outages can kill power supply units? I've had terrible luck with PSU longevity over the years and I'm starting to think these outages are the reason why. Do I really need a fucking uninterruptible power supply just to protect my desktop computer?

Anyone have any experience buying UPSs? Is there a particular good brand? What can I settle for to protect a desktop?

Suddenly losing power won't kill your PSU, but if the power your power supply gets is too unstable that might be it.

First off, thanks to that user who taught me how to take screenshots of firefox nodes using developer mode. I finally managed to learn how to use it.

So - I used that to capture a massive fucking webpage. I have a .png file with dimensions 1400 width, 37000 height. I converted it into a pdf (all methods gave the exact same output, convert in terminal, img2pdf in terminal, online website) but the file is a single page. Luckily, it is only 5.6 megabytes, so I can upload it. However, it (the pdf) cannot be viewed except with firefox (file://) or the linux pdf viewer. The .png cannot be viewed without firefox (file://).

How do I convert the .png into a .pdf that automatically breaks it down into several pages?

I need a suggestion for a solution to an office problem I'm having. Our company collects covert video for various purposes (domestic disputes, insurance fraud, etc), which we then assemble into singular videos. But for legal purposes, the videos need to be timestamped. We have a program that will read the metadata on the file and re-render it with an appropriate timestamp in place, but we're trying to figure a way for employees to send their files in without having to actually come by the office. (We cover a pretty wide area and it's very inconvenient for everyone.)

We tried using DropBox, but it strips the metadata and gives a file creation date of whenever the video is pulled from DropBox to our computers, rather than the appropriate time when the video was actually taken.

Anyone have any suggestions for how to get unadultered files from one location to the next?

That's because the creation date and that kind of stuff is actually stored by your file system and isn't part of the archive, unless you do make it part of the container (for instance EXIF data on a jpeg). If you want an easy general purpose approach which will work with anything you can use gnu tar.

Can installing Linux on a laptop void its warranty?

Yes. Most of the time no, but some jewish companies make fiddling with the bootloader/OS void the warranty.

Shouldn't be a problem but in case it bugs you, get an external HDD.
Lastly I was at a hobby club with Windows PC stuck with 4 year old VLC which couldn't read shit. I plug the HDD and bam, here's instant Linux, it just werks.

Depending on the cause, power outages can sometimes be accompanied by sharp voltage spikes that can ruin electronic equipment. Yes, in your situation I would get a UPS or at the very least a spike-filter/surge-protector.

Shit, my only empty HDD is miles away. Should I buy one and dd my /dev/sda to it?

Just use a live cd if you are so scared of ebul linux destroying your precious anime.

Very nice, thanks, that is way better.

What these guys said:


Downright blackouts won't hurt your PSU. Prolonged brownouts and spikes will.

I'm not the one complaining about cookies falling out of my ass.

I know its not necessarily the right place for this question but could someone please tell me what the symbols in the photo indicate?
Other than the skype messenger symbol.

Sorry for newfaggotry, but what's most secure search engine for general browsing?

Google.com

Now that's how you troll newfags. Well done.

From left to right. GPS,screenshot has been taken, I assume something to do with the device execeding parameters/ a notice that something is wrong (e.g. that the Samsung S7`s battery is prone to exploding and you should replace it ASAP), that you download hasn`t completed (most likely Everychan/Overchan telling you that certain thumbnails weren't downloaded),SD card status (Removed/Inserted),phone is in Silent mode,Network (likely 4G, with no traffic in both directions), mobile
network signal strength, battery percentage, finally time.

Hey Holla Forums,

Is Hotspot Shield for Firefox a botnet? I want to use a VPN, but it's tough to find one that will actually keep me safe, and leave me alone. Any recommendations are welcome as well.

Don't use free VPNs. Use one from here privacytoolsio.github.io/privacytools.io/#vpn

You know how some images are named ClipboardImage.jpg? How do you paste files to a post?

Does ctrl-v not work for you?

Testing ctrl+v. If it works then thanks user
