Whats keeping all digitally recorded videos and pictures (i.e art and animations) from being converted into vectors to ensure compatibility with all current and future resolutions?
>>59654664
lazy programmers
>>59654664
conversion into vector formats really doesn't work any better, of course there's almost no support for SVG fucking anywhere also cause >>59654683
I'm going to take a rough guess but there is a fucking shitload of videos and pictures that exist. To process all this would be a global economic crisis, all that energy being translated into computing power...
So, looks like some kebab gang is assaulting houses on my neighborhood recently and my physical home backups might be fucking useless, would you trust more 7.1 or VC to upload backups to the "cloud" + some usb drive?
Also, would a usb drive die by the temps a car could get in a sunny day?

Is FF the best so far?
>Over the past few months, we’ve worked hard to make sure Telegram calls are the best in terms of quality, speed, and security. The wait is over: today we’re rolling out Voice Calls in Western Europe. The rest of the world will get them very soon as well.
>The Voice Call interface is familiar and easy to use, but as always, you get loads of innovation under the hood with Telegram.
>Telegram Calls are built upon the time-tested end-to-end encryption of Telegram's Secret Chats. The key verification UI we came up with in 2013 to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks served well for Telegram (and for other apps that adopted it), but for Calls we needed something easier.
>That‘s why we’ve improved the key exchange mechanism. To make sure your call is 100% secure, you and your recipient just need to compare four emoji over the phone. No lengthy codes or complicated pictures!
>Whenever possible, your calls will go over a peer-to-peer connection, using the best audio codecs to save traffic while providing crystal-clear quality.
>If a peer-to-peer connection can't be established, Telegram will use the closest server to you to connect you with the person you’re calling in the fastest way possible. Unlike other apps, Telegram has a distributed infrastructure all over the world which we’ve already been using to deliver your texts faster than other apps. Now these servers will also be used for calls.
>In the coming months, we’ll be expanding our content delivery network around the globe, getting the connection up to light-speed even in remote areas.
https://telegram.org/blog/calls
Is Conversations or any other /g/ meme messenger even trying?
>Each time you make a Voice Call on Telegram, a neural network learns from your and your device‘s feedback (naturally, it doesn’t have access to the contents of the conversation, it has only technical information such as network speed, ping times, packet loss percentage, etc.). The machine optimizes dozens of parameters based on this input, improving the quality of future calls on the given device and network.
>These parameters can also be adjusted during a conversation if there's a change in your connection. Telegram will adapt and provide excellent sound quality on stable WiFi — or use less data when you walk into a refrigerator with bad reception.
>According to our tests, Telegram Calls are already superior to any of our competitors on comparable connections. But the quality of Telegram Calls will further improve as you and others use them, thanks to the built-in machine learning.
Complete Control
>If you’re like us, you don’t like to be bothered. On Telegram, you can control who can and who can't call you with granular precision. You can even switch voice calls off altogether, blocking anyone and everyone from calling you.
>By default, Telegram calls are lightweight and automatically adapt to the speed and type of your connection, so as to consume the least data possible. But if you want to reduce your data spending by another 25-30% at the expense of sound quality, you’re welcome to enable the Use Less Data option in Data and Storage Settings.
No Added Calories
>Telegram is the most powerful messaging platform out there, but it is also famous for being the easiest one to use. We want to keep things this way, and that’s why by default we won’t clutter your screen with additional tabs and redundant buttons.
>Once you start making calls, Telegram for iOS will offer you to add a dedicated tab for calls on the main screen of the app. Alternatively, you can turn the Calls tab on right away from the Recent Calls section in Settings. On Android, the call tab is accessible via the pull-out main menu on the left.
>It‘s always easy to make a call, even if you’ve never opened the calls tab. As soon as Voice Calls are enabled for your country, a phone icon will appear on every profile page. On Android, you can also call from the ‘…’ menu in a chat.
One more thing
>For those of you who don’t do voice calls, v.3.18 brings something different: direct control over the quality of videos you share. Use this brand-new setting to select the degree of compression before sending a video. For the first time in the history of messaging, you can preview how the recipient will see your video before you send it.
>The app will remember the compression rate you selected and will use it by default for your future video uploads.

No, a combination of a GUI and a legacy command line is much more efficient
Is it really possible for my uni ISP to detect network scanners like Wireshark and Netcat?
Yes.
The question would be, are they even bothering looking.
>>59654191
Neither of those are really network scanners.
Wireshark allows you to sniff packets on your machine
And netcat allows you to grab or send connections via TCP or UDP ports
>>59654191
No on wireshark plus that's a retarded question.

Threads about "your first computer" are posted regularly. I want something a little different. I suppose everyone has switched to 64 bit for their main computer by now, so the question is: what were the specs of your last 32 bit machine and what were the specs of the 64 bit computer you got to replace it. Also, when did you switch? I'll start:
My last 32 bit computer:
>Pentium IV 2GHz
>1GB DDR1 RAM
>60GB HDD
>NVIDIA 7300GT
>1280x1024 LCD
My first 64 bit computer I got in late 2009:
>Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
>4GB DDR2 RAM
>250GB HDD
>NVIDIA G100
>1280x1024 LCD, later 1680x1050
The old P4 computer is still in use. My Grandpa uses it for web browsing, shopping and online banking with Ubuntu 14.04. Works pretty well for him.
Pic not related.
>>59654128
BTW to clarify, the NVIDIA G100 was actually a 9300GS. The rebranded these things for use in pre built computers.
>>59654128
I guess it was my thinkpad R40 (if we aren't phones, as they are computers and mine is only 32 bit). 1GB DDR1, 40GB HDD, rather standard in every regard, some Pentium M. Still have it, I installed Archbang a while back. Haven't touched it in a couple years though. Ran it nicely.
>>59654128
Oh wow that would probably be:
>Socket 462 Sempron 2200+
>can't remember how much ram, either 512MB or 1GB DDR1
>80GB HDD
>Radeon 9250
First 64 bit computer around 2007:
>Athlon64 X2 4000+
>4GB DDR2
>The same 80GB HDD from the last computer
>Cheap Sapphire HD2400 gpu because i had no more money left to spend
I am trying to find a new DNS provider which is not logging like the one google provides.
Which service do you use or recommend?
>>59653979
My own nameserver.
Which references the root name servers directly.
>>59653979
I like to use CryptoStorm's swiss DNScrypt servers. Seems to work ok enough for me.
What's the best way to scan multiple video files for corruption?
I need a software (for Windows), or also an online tool, for download and cut youtube video,...i only need a simple one..
>>59653964
something like this
note: only remuxes the file, fast, but i suppose it could miss some kinds of corruption
you could change it to decode the video/audio as well if you wanted to
this should be good enough for things like failed downloads thoughfor i in *; do ffmpeg -v error -i "$i" -map 0 -c copy -f matroska -y /dev/null 2> "${i%%.*}-error.log"; if [ ! -s "${i%%.*}-error.log" ]; then rm "${i%%.*}-error.log"; fi; done
> state of rust
> takes almost a minute to recompile a tiny alpha utility written in pure rust
How am I supposed to use this software, possibly fix bugs or understand any of it and iterate when every change takes 1min to recompile?
Rust is an absolute clusterfuck, a joke.
That's what happens to you when you fall for the memes fampai. You should try Idris, everything is a recursive set and doing simple arithmetic takes literal seconds.
>>59653790
it would be different if they could fix this, but at this point this is by design. They arent ever going to be able to bring this down to reasonable levels (like ~3 seconds would be my maximum)
This is how it's going to stay and I cant explain the hype that Rust continues to receive. I assume it's Stockholm syndrome kinda similar to Vim nowadays, where you have to spend weeks to months just to be able to finally use it somewhat productively.

You can also run legacy software.
