Hey /g/
Is now a good time to buy a gaming laptop? I haven't bought anything pc-wise in like 8 years (last gfx card was a 550 TI for desktop) and now that I'm in the military and travel a lot I figured I'd buy a laptop.
This seems to be the best deal I could find.. Thoughts and recommendations?
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154483
I'd prefer the 1060 at least and the 7th gen i7 to stay futureproof as long as I can, plus I plan on doing some music and video editing.
thanks /g/

I've got an iPod Classic, can I sync my iPod with anything other than iTunes? I'm so fucking done with that asshole program. I've been trying for the last hour and a half to get all my STRFKR under one god damn artist heading. It literally can't be done. I've changed admin permissions, I've changed all the files from "read only", it still thinks "Starfucker" is somehow different from "Starfucker" which are both different from "Starfucker"

It's very important to have good passwords for email accounts, online banking, shopping sites etc.
A Password database like KeePassX makes it easier than ever. You can generate random 64 character passwords with upper- and lower cases, special characters and numbers and then simply copy and paste.
But - you need a good, recognizable password for the data base itself. Don't sperg out with something super complicated or you will stop using it. Something like
>Terry_4_Davis,1s-my_IDOL_because_he's_JESUS
should be okay if you're not a whistle blower of terrorist.
And make backups of the data base and the password. Write it encrypted down and hide it so that you can recognize it in an emergency situation.

I recently switched from LassPass to KeePass and it does feel good to reduce the amount of botnet on you're personal computer.

Why the fuck do I need some random shady program to remember passwords for me? Are you faggots going to trust some third party software with your data?

Welcome to the first official /gcc/.
Talk about C and stuff.
>I want to learn C
Read:
C Programming: A modern approach
The C Programming Language 2 (aka K&R)
GNU C Reference Manual
Avoid like the plague: Learn C the Hard Way
>I'm ready for more!
Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets
Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective
> How to write readable code
Linux style
OpenBSD style
Avoid like the plague: GNU style
C programmers please help me add to this list.
What are you working on?
What do you use C for?
To foster some discussion:
One major complaint about C is it not having separate namespaces. How do you work with this? Do you use any sort of file organization or segregation schemes to keep symbol collisions in big projects?
C is a very low level language that is best suited for groundwork, do you use any layering on top for more "high-level" programming? eg. embedded languages such as lua/guile

Is K&R the best way to learn C for someone who only knows OOP concepts?
>>
>>58822782
I'd suggest A Modern Approach instead.
Unless you learned OOP through Smalltalk, what you know as OOP is probably built upon the procedural model.
I think the main difference is that in the C model, you do not have different agents to which you "ask" to do things, but just the main program logic, which performs actions on objects.
so instead of something likearray.sortyourself();
yousort(array);
For the rest it's pretty similar, you just have to "unlearn" some of the methodologies of OOP, eg stop expecting different agents to have their own logic.
If I'm not being helpful ask away and I'll try to make myself clearer

Is this Modern Approach book that people keep recommending available as a PDF from anywhere? Most books you don't even need to pirate; a PDF is usually the second or third search result anyway from some university's website.
Also, if I find an old edition, is it okay to read that one instead? I am exactly the sort of Pajeet hobbyist who only wants to learn programming until it becomes difficult and only look for a programming job if it turns out I can do it with no effort. With that in mind, if more recent editions of these books only include changes that are for very advanced programmers, I probably won't bother, same as I don't want to just start with C++.

Hey guys, I recently got into the whole home server thing and it's been great, listening to music streamed through the internet from my own computer with mpd is fantastic. But I've been trying to do the same with video and had little success. Can someone help out? I just want to be able to watch my chinese cartoons without having to take all my hard drives with me.

Just had a scheduled Win10 update that rebooted the computer many times during the update and after that one of my 1TB HDDs stopped showing up in explorer.
Disk management shows it but it has no file system. Also all the options are greyed out. I had like 950GB of stuff there that would be nice to recover, what do?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Yeah I disabled it in device manager, rebooted and enabled again. No help.

Go into CMD line, go to diskpart, and see if the drive is active.

ITT: Software for GNU/Linux that is easy to use and can potentially replace its counterpart on Windows.
Maybe this way normies can into GNU/Linux without the hassle.
>Music Player
DeaDBeeF. Good looks means noob friendly. The alternative is Clementine.
>Video Player
VLC. Good defaults and doubles as a music player too.
>Office Suite
LibreOffice. It has a word clone, powerpoint, excel, etc.
>Ebook Viewer
Okular. Watch your books in a beautiful way. Is big on Qt/KDE dependencies but noobs aren't generally interested in that.
>Drawing
Krita. Made by artists this is a professional grade software, but easy to use.
>Image Editing (a.k.a. "photoshoping")
Inkscape. Want to cut, crop or add text? Easy and fast.
>Burning CD/DVD
Xfburn. Easy, fast, reliable.
>File Manager
PCManFM. All you need to browse your computer.
>Image Viewer
GThumb. A powerhouse of image organizer and not just an image viewer, triples as a video player.
>Web Browser
IceCat. Secure by default, can have firefox addons, also fast. Disable the LibreJS addon because it can be annoying for noobs.
>Chat, Voip (skype)
Pidgin. Can connect to all chats, videochats, etc.
>RSS Feeds
Liferea. Do yu read feeds? You should.
>IRC
HexChat. Be comfy on one of the oldest ways of shitposting.
>Search Engine
YaCy. Is time to leave the botnet, host your own search engine.
>Java
IcedTea. Launch java natively without losing freedom.
>Virtual Machine
Virtualbox. So you can start distro hoping.
>"Emulation"
WINE. To launch photoshop and play gaymes.
>Download Manager
JDownloader. Download from everywhere without recurring to the command line.
>Torrent
Transmission-gtk. Easy and reliable, don't need more.
>Backup
Bison. Backup your stuff the lazy way.
>Window Manager
IceWM. This is more easy to use than openbox, or windows. Can look good too.
>Accounting
GnuCash. So you can keep track of the bucks you are saving when using free software.
