Stupid Questions Thread

Can anyone confirm if Debian still wants to uninstall fglrx drivers for no apparent reason?

Sometimes when opening a fullscreen program or game, it makes all my icons on the desktop sit in one big group. How can I make it stop that ?

I have reason to believe that my motherboard is taking a shit on me. (asrock extreme6 no tb)
I'm getting occasional artifacts in games and memtest indicates that I likely have two faulty ram slots (b1 and b2) since running only two sticks at a time is stable.
could it be a conflict between the two different 16gb corsair vengance pro 1866 kits?

So, imagine going to wall.rb on a web server. When it loads you see a text line for a name, and multi-line text field for some words, and a submit button. Understand you see boxes, each with a name, date and comment on inside it that stretches on for miles. I can make a script to read each box and print the name and comment to the terminal, but I don't understand how to make it so that wen you click a submit button the text inside the text boxes get written to the page. How does it work? And how do I make it know where in the page to write it? I have a very very vauge idea in my head but it would just make one comment ever appear on the page, and it would be whatever the last submitted one was because it would just overwrite the last one. But that would just be in the terminal. Not with html.

Like that but written in Ruby. I'm trying to learn Ruby itself, everyone tells me not to go the wrong route like so many people have and learn Rails/Sinatra but not Ruby. Using one of those seems like calling a physicist when all you need is a carpenter.


Could I please have this explained to me like I'm five? Thanks in advance.

My new build has a weird issue. When I turn it on the fans will spin up and the power LED will come on, then it dies but the power light remains on. Then it turns back on, then back off, then on again. After that third time it runs just fine. Temps are fine, voltages are well within acceptable ranges. Read some reviews that say gigabyte boards will do this after overclocking as a safety feature? Also, the NB is HOT. That normal on a 970 chipset?

How much difference does an AMP make to speakers?

I'm thinking of buying some wharfedale 9.1 bookshelves, but I'm not sure whether to get an amp with it or not. Also, are modern motherboards close to the performance of most soundcards?

I've looked at reviews of people using amps and the like, although the general consensus is they do sound much better, I've never been able to tell the difference since I've never had the chance to compare.

What would /g/ recommend buying with those speakers, if anything? I'm more interested in sound accuracy than anything else.

When I boot my computer, all I get is a blinking underscore. Normally I just adjust the settings in the BIOS, but the problem is I can't access the BIOS. I get the blinking underscore the moment I turn on the computer. I hear no beep when I turn it on, so maybe there's something wrong with the motherboard?

>>43074368

I did nothing to it. It is my cousin's. At first he accidentally connected to window's server and got a non-geniune warning. It ran as is and just now he came crying the computer won't boot.

I don't think it's the power cord. The monitor is lit, CPU fan is running. I fear the motherboard is fried, but I'm not too sure.

>>43074512
unplug everything from the motherboard, all the drives, etc, leave the video card and psu the only things plugged in, reset the ram and then turn it on and see if you can at least get the bios to show, your OS will not affect the bios so that isn't it.

So I'm in the process of building my first pc. The things I have to get are:
processor (intel i3 maybe)
motherboard
Power supply (Rosewill capstone)
gpu
Now I don't need this PC right now and I'm willing to wait, but is there a time of the year when buy these certain items are cost effective? I do not plan on going cheap with the GPU (around 200 to 300 range). Should I wait until next year to buy some of these parts?

Do not get an i3, unless you don't plan on doing much with this, also what do you plan on doing with it, pls include detail.

Second mobo, gigabyte/asus (no MSI), don't nigger out of your psu ever, gpu, AMD 280 is good, get 770 if it goes down, should soon.

>i3
no. If you need to cheap out on your CPU go AMD 8350

>>43075421
don't forget about ram
i'd probably go with an i5 if you already plan to spend up to 300 bucks on the gpu
as for the time of year, doesn't really matter. hardware prices do change over time and their not always going down, but it doesn't depend on that. it's rather about how much the resources go for at the moment, whether some factories had to close down because of floods or similar stuff and how high the demand for a certain piece of hardware is at the moment.
in the end you'll just have to buy at some point and it doesn't matter all that much

Why.

I really want to learn a coding language but not only am I not sure which, I don't really know what I'd use it for. I don't want to do web development, I don't want to make games and I have no real ideas for building a programme. I guess it's just learning for the sake of learning.

What do?

>>43075653
x86 ASM

>>43075588
>no. If you need to cheap out on your CPU go AMD 8350

it really depends on what you're doing, the i3 has 50% better single threaded performance and that's a lot. the only thing an 8350 would be better for is playing BF4 and transcoding videos, the i3 quite literally stomps all over it in everything else you use a computer for.

there is no good reason at all to buy an 8350, if you are going to spend $180 on a cpu then get a locked i5.

>>43075653
Learn python, it just werks, great beginner language. If you don't like it don't program and it won't waste to much time, if you end up liking it go to C++ Java C# or otherwise. The tutorials on the Python site are pretty decent, great to get you started, and the /g/ wiki will help you go further if you plan on it

>>43075696
i guess that depends on what kind of programmers and how good they are.
i'd say your average sysadmin will make something around 60k a year, which, tbh is quite a lot considering that if your good at it, you'll mainly sit around and shitpost on 4chan all day.
you'll probably make a similar amount in web development, probably a bit more as a .net or java codemonkey and possibly a lot more if you contract as a cobol specialist to support legacy systems

Lately while torrenting on my PIA VPN my connection is going from 1.2 MB/s to 10 KB/s every few minutes. It used to be a steady 2.0+ MB/s. Is Comcast pulling fuckery on me? They recently changed my DNS from Atlanta to San Jose for no reason. I am using the Ubuntu iso torrent to test since I know I should be getting 100% of my bandwidth with that.

With PIA VPN off I get 3.2 MB/s...
Is anyone else having problems with PIA lately?

>Learn C

>>43074805
Thanks. I just got a month subscription for PIA, but should I configure my torrent client to use the SOCKS5 proxy, or will the VPN by itself be enough? Sorry for the stupid questions.

>>43075803
I don't get what you're saying. C was my first language and I learned it just fine.

>>43075749
the single threaded advantage is huge when you consider very few things are optimized for multiple cores. web browsing, office work, 90% of games, etc are all only 1 or 2 threads. don't underestimate a pair of haswell hyperthreaded cores running at 3.5GHz. The G3258 looks like an awesome bargain also.

The 8350 is only good at very specific heavily threaded integer work loads.

>>43075834
I dunno, he doesn't even know if he cares for programming, seems like a lot of work to learn for something that he might hate. Advantage though, if you learn C first anon, it will prepare you for basically every language.

>>43075803
i think c is a pretty good beginners language, as it's fairly small, so it doesn't take forever to actually know its features and it teaches you about how computers work, which other languages often tend to omit. of course it's gonna take a long time to actually get good at it, but i think if your goal is to be a good programmer, c is a good language to start with. either that or something like haskell or lisp, which i guess are more the computer science approach that'll teach you concepts and algorithms rather than how your computer works.

if you just want to write some programs, python or java aren't bad choices, but i think they're dangerous if you actually want to learn something because they have a level of abstraction that allows you to write code you don't understand.

>>43075839
I guess I can see your point, and the G3258 is a sweet deal if you meet the criteria for it, and are willing to overclock it to the max. It will stomp the i3.

Otherwise i5 locked or k edition will do you fine.

So I just took a Sec+ boot camp course and I'm interested in wep cracking and such.

I wanna buy a vps, just for dicking around. I found a pretty good deal on interserver.net, comes with a gig of ram and 25gig hd space, now all that's left is choosing the distro. I know I wanna use centos, but not sure which release I should use. My options include:

- 6 x64
- 6 devel x64
- 6 minimal x64
- 7 minimal 07072014 x64

and a bunch of others. All I want to be able to do is ssh into my server, maybe vnc but I probably want a leaner desktop than gnome, ftp access to files, and compile+run c++ / java server projects. Also, I don't care about being on the bleeding edge, so I'll probably go with one of the 6's.

pretty much. straight talk will throttle you when you reach the high speed cap.
Wifi tethering kills the phone. If you want 4 hours, use a USB cable.

>>43077990
but theres an upper limit on the resolution

vga can't do more than 1080 without trouble, single link DVI can do up to 1920x1200

but assuming the resolution stays below that limit the picture quality should be the same yes?

>>43078122
No. 1080 over VGA is often full of noise. DVI and HDMI should look the same.

>>43078122

Disassemble and clean, reapply some better thermal paste and see if that helps. The fans don't help all that much but the best bang for the buck is the Coolermaster U3.

So I installed a piece of software to edit MKV's, and somehow that caused MPC to stop showing subtitles on all of my MKV's. I also noticed a bunch of my videos won't play now.

So I uninstalled that software, the subtitles are back, but the bunch of my videos that used to play fine in MPC don't play or crash still do so, so i'm thinking that either the other thing didn't uninstall all the way or something else is going on.

Any suggestions or ideas of what might be going on here? Most of the files that won't play now are blu ray rips, and they are all MPEG-4's of some kind for their video codec

One doesn't have 4G LTE, meaning only 3G speeds. The other... get this, has 4G LTE meaning that it gets 4G LTE speeds, which are faster than that of 3G.

You only benefit if your service has 4G or 4G LTE speeds.

I want to build a basic machine for NAS with RAID 5. Using software RAID in either debian or arch. I plan on using a Coolermaster Elite 370 case that's been hanging a round for a while, it has room for plenty of large fans and I can fit 10 HDDs in it.

What I need help with is CPU and HDD selection.

WD Caviar green, red or black? There is minimal price difference between green and red.

For the CPU I was looking at AMD semprons but I've stuck with AMD for a while and I'm not impressed with what I'm seeing. What do I need from Intel? A small low power celeron?

How do I make my foobar midi decoder not be dead chip tune synthesizer and play like a piano?

The Coolermaster U2 is the same thing with only 2 fans.

HP is known for heat issues, it's not just brand bashing. I would say that at least half the HP laptops I've dealt with have had heating issues, and the other half I'd be willing to bet will encounter heating issues in the future.

Like I said, not brand bashing, HP is a brand I avoid at all costs.

Let me ask here as well:

Which Linux distro is best suited to be made into a LiveCD for the sole purpose of encrypting and viewing encrypted content? Is on-the-fly de-cryption supported?

I'm open to run it off a USB with persistent storage as well if necessary.

So how bad are TN panels really? I was originally looking at the PB278Q but after hearing about the ROG Swift (PG278Q) I am thinking about getting that instead. I know /g/ constantly shits on TN panels, but I am wondering if the difference between IPS and TN panels is really noticeable enough to warrant giving up 144hz and G-SYNC.
So... What does /g/ think?

Using software to implement RAID means your processor has to do all the work, instead of having a hardware controller do it for you. You greatly increase your processing needs, especially for a RAID5 array.

Most mobos from the last 5 years support hardware RAID, even microATX boards.

Sure, using some things has a bigger impact on your privacy than other things. But in total, even if it has a little impact, every little helps. It's better to have an insecure encryption than none, as dragnet breaking of even insecure encryption is so much harder than plain dragnet surveillance

http://drumcoder.co.uk/blog/2010/jan/06/bitmasks-java/

on that website it says
To change the value of a flag (ie if it's set, unset it; if it's unset, set it) use the ~ operator:
lFlags = lFlags & ~FLAG_C;

But how can the & operator flip a bit that is 0? the only thing that AND can do is unset a bit with a negative bit. But to set a bit, dont you have to use OR? if your bit is 0, it will always stay 0, regardless of whether you AND it with a 0 or 1.

But isn't that the point of building a RAID server? It's not going to be doing anything else. It's also cheaper to buy a more powerful CPU than it is to buy a RAID controller. Also why install more drivers, when I can just use software readily available in the distro of my choice?

You don't really know what you're talking about or I'm being rused. Either way, build your build the way you want. Apparently the idea of "RAID controller built into the motherboard" went over your head or something.

Good luck with everything though, I have no idea why anyone would overspend on a processor for a NASbox instead of using a RAID array unless its just to spite logic but that's your business.

NP, a good tip, don't overspend on memory or processing power if it's only going to be used by 4 computers at a time, you'll be bottlenecked by network speed or i/o before processing power or memory.

Don't install like 2 GB or something silly though, but for 4 people, anything more than 8GB or RAM would be overkill

Should I just delete it? Or should I be using something else to remove them?

Depends on the file. Some of them crashes MPC, some just freeze it till windows closes it for being unresponsive, some play the audio but have no video, some play audio with no video, but it's just random noise, etc.

I heard that I have to change the MX paste every so often, while AS5 just put and forget.

>>43084667
Well darn alright thanks anon
>>43084669
Welp I will now

>>43084652
>>43084669

this just grab a win 7 iso and instal it they can latter buy or acquire the key or something

>>43084725
Alright, I do have a copy, wont activate the key until I test things I guess thanks for the help

>>43084722
its conductive and takes forever to set, the MX will be fine.

>>43084725
> they can latter buy or acquire the key or something

Or you could just 7load it.

>>43084780
The thing is the person I'm building this for wants a legit copy no cracked versions and he wants the disc as proof and everything

Should I keep playing Magic the Gathering?

On one side it is fun, on the other very time and money consuming.

>>43084808

Yes, give all your shekels for pieces of paper.

Is there any way to get a lower quality version of a twitch.tv archive on my computer?
It's about 560MB per half hour to stream, and I don't have that kind of bandwidth.

On partner pages I can select the quality, but it's not there for this one.

Is there some service that can expose the twitch mobile applications' stream URL, so I can watch that?

What is the simplest thing I can do/buy that will increase the wifi strength/range of my modem/router?

>>43084803
The software is completely legit with 7loader though. You use a legit copy of 7 from MS's own repos and then just trick the authenticators into thinking it's an OEM copy. No cracks or anything.

But long as he's paying for it I suppose your customer can dictate how he wants his OS..

>>43084866
you could buy a 5ghz router if you don't have one already if every one around you uses 2.4 that is if your electronics support 5ghz

change channels
buy and old router and change it to a repeater

>>43084808
Is there something else you feel like you should be doing? If not, fuck it. Do what you enjoy.

>>43084825
>Yes, give all your shekels for pieces of paper.

>implying almost all forms of currency aren't just different pieces of paper.

>>43084902
hmm I'll have a look into this thanks

>>43084922
My currency is plastic what a world we live in

What are the good 120mm case fans currently?

I heard Cougar's PWM 120s have problems when mounted horizontally, but for 9 bucks they seem alright. Much better than the cheapo Coolermasters I have now

I'll ask this here instead of making a new thread.

Where in the EXIF data do I find a location? This is actually pretty important

>>43085305
GPS co-ordinates.

if it's not there, it isn't there. Post the image, I can check.

>>43085225
stop using vlc

>>43085358
nothing is in the exif, besides the encoder.

It's probably been scrubbed.

>>43085360
And use what?

>>43085379
Anything else, type of phone used?

>>43085392
mpv

>>43085399
No. That image was encoded on a computer. (probably to get the metadata off of it)

Who's stolen your duck?

>>43085417
My friend's duck, I said I'd look into it (mainly because I'm his prime suspect)

>>43085429
It also doesn't look like it was taken with a phone.
Unless it was cropped on a computer after the fact.

I'm leaning towards cheap digital camera, based on the resolution.

>>43085462
Anything I can do to track the IP address it was uploaded from? I've already tried the netstat -an thing, couldn't seem to get anything

>>43085479
Where did you get the image? How was it sent to you?

I might need more information here.

>>43085487
The kidnappers set up a facebook page for the Duck and posted that picture

>>43085494
So, check who admins the page.

Or, if it's someone nearby, lure them into a long facebook conversation and use etherape in monitor mode the check which devices are hitting facebook (you can further single out akahamid addresses, since that's their CDN, and isn't hit by messages)
Or, just look at who's using a computer at the time.


Standard Doxing rules also apply.

Everything randomly crashes on my computer. League of Legends gives me all kinds of errors, Counter-Strike Go also crashes. Chromium tabs stop working.
MBAM scans reveal nothing so I'm thinking it's a problem with my hardware. I have no idea.

which programm do I need to watch my cpu and gpu temperature on ubuntu??

>>43085518
It's not a page, it's a profile. So no admins. This also isn't a situation where the culprit would ever be in the same room as me. But thanks anyway

>>43084922
I feel like maybe it is not a sensible hobby to do. Even though I enjoy it, it is a money sucking vortex.

>>43085569
fuck, I'm interested now.
Copy down as much information from the page as possible, and then report it like crazy.

To get facebook pages reinstated, you need photo id, if you can find an email, even a fake one, you're in business.

The only email on the page is the facebook one.

Anything I can do with that?

>TFW Dwight is kill

>>43085625
you're not friends with the guy right?
If there's really a severe lack of information on the profile, I suggest sending him to a site you operate and recording his IP / phishing for data.

shortners can link to .co.nr sites, and BeeF is pretty easy to run once you have backtrack operational.

>>43085679
I am facebook friends with him, yes. Unfortunately I don't run any sites

>>43085695
You can run it off of your own computer, just find an excuse to link with a URL shortener, and hit him with all of the exploits.
Then, you have a shell in their machine.

Alternately, use your words and ruse the sumbitch into giving up pieces of information.

>>43085715
Gotta admit, I'm not a regular of /g/. I don't know what any of that is

>>43085732
What OS are you running right now?

There's this linux distro called backtrack, you can use that to "script kiddie" your way into this guy's computer.
There's this application collection on it called BeeF (browser executable exploitation framework) which creates a malicious site that gives you a shell on their computer without their knowledge.

From there, you can list file contents and copy files back to your own computer, as well as find very specific location data. If they're using a secure browser, you'll have their IP address from this, and you can use another utility, called autopwn, which runs every web exploit known to man until one works and then you have a shell.

Basically, I'm suggesting you crack into this guy's computer and get the information that way.

>>43085945
Windows 8, and I think installing a new OS is a bit too much of a hassle. I'll just ruse him into sending another picture and hope that has the exif data I need (and by the way, what is the best way to view EXIF data?)

>>43085971
>I think installing a new OS is a bit too much of a hassle
backtrack runs off of an USB stick.

>I'll just ruse him into sending another picture and hope that has the exif data I need (and by the way, what is the best way to view EXIF data?
Maybe facebook is stripping it, try getting it somewhere else. (try telling him that facebook might be trying to push webp again, and it's not showing up in your browser so you need the image somewhere else)

I'm using http://regex.info/exif.cgi at the minute.

>>43086000
Gee, I still wouldn't know where to start

Is there anything I can do with the exif data I do have?

>>43086065
Check the data on that site, there's not much information in that image. (I think facebook recodes images anyway, unless you're downloading the original with the download button)

>>43086079
okay, FB does strip the data. Is there any particular image site doesn't or will something like imgur do?

>>43086117
>or will something like imgur do?
maybe.
I'm not certain, because I always use pomf.se, but your mileage may vary.


If they're anyway smart, they are also stripping data. What kinds of things are being posted on the facebook page?

Is there something better to use than pirates bay if I can't find a torrent of something I'm looking for?
I just want my video game OSTS.

>>43086137
just the picture. Now that I know for sure that FB stripped the exif, I can say for certain that they probably have no idea what an exif even is

>>43086140
rutracker

>>43086159
anything with the picture? It seemed kind of sparse.

>>43086177
just a status update calling my fried an old man, even though he's not. These are just kids

>>43086177
I'm going to bed now, it's 12:40 here. I'll read your reply (if there is one) but don't expect anymore from me.

Thanks for the help, bro
