How do i make this work?
It dosent go to the "done" folder for output

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p done
for file in *
do
 ffmpeg -i "$file" -c:a copy -vf subtitles="$file" "$file" ./done/"$file"
done 

When first starting to learn programming is it beneficial to use Emacs/Vim or is that something better learned once I've got a grasp of the language/programming in general?

Rebooted my PC today and it won't start up normally. I got it working in safe mode but when booting normally it just freezes on a black screen after the initial start up graphic shows.

What are the most likely causes of this? I'm backing up my data in safe mode in case I have to reformat, but obviously I'd rather avoid that.

Have you test your command for one file?

>>52910282
The command its self works on a single file.
Naming the last $file output,mkv it works fine.
I've got about 800 files i need to process so i needed them to be their original filename.

>>52910370
Gonna give transmission a shot. Thanks.

>>52910361
Honestly they all have problems. Deluge is horribly resource intensive. Transmission has a terrible UI. qBitorrent is just janky as fuck.

>>52910356
Show me a working command for one file, and I will fix your shell script.

>>52910428

ffmpeg -i 1.mkv -c:a copy -vf subtitles=1.mkv output.mkv

I'm trying to connect something that doesn't have wifi to my router though, not through 4G.

Not even sure if this is where to put this. Sorry if it isn't.

T draw() {
        int rando;
        srand(time(0));
        rando = rand() % numObject;
        while (contents[rando] == NULL) {
            rando = rand() % numObject;
        }
        T item = contents[rando];
        T replace = contents[numObject];
        contents[rando] = replace;
        contents[numObject] = NULL;
        numObject--;

        return item;
    }

New at C++, maybe I'm just retarded. I'm basically trying to pick a random item from an array, remove it, and replace the empty hole with the last item in the array. It seems to draw alright but at the same time when I later use a print method it still shows an empty spot where the element used to be. For instance, if I put a, b, b, and c in the bag, it draws the first b but then the print is [a, b, ].

I have a 150gb velociraptor and a 300gb velociraptor.

Could I make 3 150gb partitions and raid them so I don't lose a third of my hdd capacity?
So instead of 300+150=300
I want 150+150+150=450
I understand it'll still perform like 2 drives in raid 0, not 3 drives, but that's not as important to me, i just don't want to lose 150gb.

>>52910588
>empty spot where the element used to be
That's pretty much expected. Arrays don't resize.

Out of nowhere i cant load youtube, google or captchas on any of my devices all connected to the same network
I get the connection timed out error
I reset the router twice and still nothing
No ISP would be blocking google
Any ideas?

>>52910634
Partions are not raided.

>>52910624
If I understand you correctly, I'm trying to find an integer between 0 and numObjects, the number of items in the array. This did help me realize that the while loop is pointless though because it'll always grab a number in bounds like this.
>>52910653
Yeah and I expect mine to have empty spaces, I was just trying to copy the last item to the empty spot and then remove the original last item. My example might have been bad but basically what I want to do is:
Array has [a, b, b, c], Draws "a", Array should now be [c, b, b].
It doesn't need to be ordered, but I was trying to not have gaps of no items.

>>52910674
i know.
But can I somehow make each partition look like a separate hdd and do software raid?

>>52910224
I know that bumping is bad, but can I get some help with this? I'm getting desperate.

>>52910729
Use a data structure capable of resizing, or work around Array's limitations by copying elements to a new Array of desired size.

>>52910742
That's not how raid works

>>52910745
Try doing a repair installation of windows and running malwarebytes in safe mode

>>52910745
Check your system log for errors.
"going black" is vague and a source of alot of problems

You take multiple physical hard drives and have them act as one disk. Most forms of raid of come with redundancy and parity.

Making 3 partions on a single hard drive, is not a raid.You can make logical partions but thats about it

Posted in last thread, but never got a response. Is it too stupid?

So my dad got fed up with AT&T and stopped paying them before his contract expired, and switched to a burner. He gave me the galaxy s5 he bought from AT&T and I want to unlock it and put it on a Boost mobile prepaid plan. Is there a way to unlock it without having to pay one of these sketchy online websites? Looking at AT&Ts conditions, they won't unlock it for me since he never paid his last bill and owes them more than the phone is worth.
It's a pretty good phone, and I'm poor as fuck so I don't want to have to buy a cheap ass phone from Boost.

>>52910935
Get a contract under your own name with AT&T

>>52910840
3 partitions on 2 hard drives.
You misread my post.

>>52910758
I'm fucking retarded I was replacing it with the item found at contents[numObject] but that's a null because the last real item is at numObject-1;

Jesus fucking christ kill me.

NIgga how are you losing 150gb?

>>>hd1

>>52911071
It is exceptionally well made encryption. And if you are doubting the chinese then thats an issue. You can find your own articles on google, you seem to know enough relevant keywords.

>>52910995
No, I won't do that. I won't sign up for a contract like that, and I may have trouble paying sometimes and would rather not be subject to bullshit fees.
I also live in an very rural area and don't have good options for internet, so I normally use my phone to tether. Boost is the only place with an unlimited data plan that is in my area. All of AT&T's data plans are extortionate.

I want to set them up in raid 0 so it's 1 partition. That would mean it would read the 300gb hard drive as a 150gb because of the raid 0.
I wanted to know if I could somehow do the raid by splitting one hard drive in 2 so it becomes a 450gb raid partition.

>>52911178
You dont know shit about raid.
You are not losing anything
Do what i told you.
There isnt anything else to do.
Partitions DO NOT RAID.

>>52911166
Why should I pay for it, it's already been paid for? I'm not going to rise to your poorfag bait. You didn't make sense. Why are you getting angry about me not wanting to pay for a contract when a prepaid plan is more cost efficient?

I'm spending enough time reading books on my pc that I'm considering buying a ebook reader. Is there any particular ebook reader that's more piracy friendly than others?

You cannot have it unlocked.

Not really. No ebook reader is good with pdf for a start. Kindles are annoying because they only support the amazon ebook format, but I end up running everything I read through Calibre first anyway, to fix formatting.

Multiple screens won't be hampered by your processor, it relies on the gpu. You might run into problems if you want to play games etc. on multiple monitors though, that can push your whole system really hard.

So what's this I keep reading about DDR3 fucking up Skylake processors?

How important is VRAM in a gpu?
i mean the 390 has 8gb but 970s are benchmarking higher at 3.5gb

Online flash game sponsorships are a real thing... right?

I told my buddy I was interested in picking up Flash and making some little web games for a little money on the side, and he swore up and down that the whole thing was a scam and even the most reputable sites (ArmorGames, Kongregate, etc.) would never actually pay you a thousand dollars like they say on their sponsorship page. I find that hard to believe because of the size of the communities, but I'd like more info.

Opinions? Anyone actually done it before?

>>52910178
That entirely depends on your preference. Emacs and Vim are about typing efficiency, they have nothing to do with programming. I can't speak for Emacs, but I can say that for the first week or two you'll hate the fuck out of Vim. Afterwards, though, your typing and editing speed will increase noticeably. Only do it if you really, really like keyboard navigation and hate cursors. I recommend gVim, command-line Vim is for elitist faggots.

Just make sure to push yourself through the learning stage before you make a final decision about Vim.

>>52914148
desu I didn't really know what I was doing. I'm used to gnu systems. Hardware wise, everything seemed to work. I started setting it up and then realized that what I wanted to do with it would be significantly easier with xubuntu. So I installed xubuntu and called it a day.

The one thing I disliked about it was that the touch screen needs proprietary drivers (that are super out of date) because the touch screen hardware is like 30 years old and that it emulates mouse input instead of touch input. The upside was that it literally just worked with everything, but it meant that touch gestures were nonexistent.

It's pretty slow by modern standards and if you swap the HDD, be careful to make sure the ribbon cable is properly insulated. It took me like two weeks to figure out that the HDD cable was causing mouse interference and parts for this thing are not easy to come by nor are they cheap.

Also, I never got the 3G card to work (maybe because it was cingular? idk), nor either camera. It may have just been my device or it may have been the fact that those things just don't work outside XP.

>>52913797
Depends entirely on how much you have on the screen(s) at a time. Higher resolution (textures and screen resolution) usually requires more ram.

I have a table "Borrowing" with fields "bdate" and "ddate" (borrow-date, due-date).
I set the "bdate" with SET DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;

Now I want to set the "ddate" to be "bdate" + 1 MONTH/30 DAY. What exactly is the syntax ?

ALTER TABLE "Borrowing" ALTER COLUMN "ddate" SET DEFAULT DATE_ADD(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, INTERVAL 30 DAY);

=
2: Wrong data type or data too long in DEFAULT clause: DATE_ADD in statement [ALTER TABLE "Borrowing" ALTER COLUMN "ddate" SET DEFAULT DATE_ADD]

A RAID is a physical array of disks, that forms a single logical disk.

Partitioning is just logically separating a disk.

You can't form a RAID out of logical partitions, it's not a RAIP.

>>52914390
Uhhh yes you can? It doesn't make sense to RAID partitions that are on the same disk, but you could do it with software raid.

>>52914204
yeah m$ wants as many people on 10 as possible pirate or not

>>52911011
>>52914390
It's not impossible to create something that will work like RAID out of logical partitions. But none of existing software or hardware solutions that I know of allow to do it.

>>52914390
>You can't form a RAID out of logical partitions
yes you can, actually

>>52914431
any software raid system on linux can do it (zfs/mdadm/btrfs/lvm)

>>52914267
>You need to fix the problem, not bandaid it.
I would if I knew where to start only. I have Adobe Reader 10, it seems to be fine if I change the pdf settings to "lowest filesize possible" but I can't be arsed to do that everything I want to save something because I save a lot of different stuff at the same time and I need no downtime. From my guess is it's conflicting with my company's program which also used to save files as pdf.

>>52914390
Looks like your knowledge just got raip-ed.

>>52914423
>>52914434
>>52914442

Ok I stand corrected. But what's the use case?

>>52914462
>Adobe Reader 10
Well, that's probably your problem. If it's a company computer then submit a ticket to IT to fix. If they don't fix it or say there is nothing to fix, then it is not your problem. If it's your personal computer then you can start by updating your software.

But also, why not just use your company's program instead?

>>52914493
it's actually common practice to create a software raid out of partitions

the basic use case is so the disk/partition can be recognized as such by other software, that is, the disk won't appear unformatted, and the partition can be of an appropriate type

here's one my raid disks for example (GPT partition table printout)

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name                 Flags
 5      1049kB  2097kB  1049kB               BIOS boot partition  bios_grub
 1      2097kB  2000GB  2000GB               Linux RAID           raid

>>52914493
Something like >>52910634?

I wouldn't do it personally because I only want some data to die when HDD dies, but he wants to, that's a use case.

>>52914493
I can't think of a use case for raiding partitions on the same disk, but you could for example only raid half the disk with another, and have the other half unraided.

>>52914523
It prints different stuff, I can't say because it's related to finance.

I think it's somewhat related to Firefox and it's forks, I tried using Chrome and IE and it works fine, I can't just switch because of addons, though the addons doesn't seem to be the problem since it stays the same whether I run it with them on or not.

Does Mediafire Pro (the $5/month plan) allow you to distribute files to as many people as you like without anything getting in the way? Legal stuff of course. I'm trying to figure out the most accessible way to make large files available for download and torrents are a bit unfamiliar or inconvenient to some people who maybe aren't into computers.

Mega's interface is too obnoxious at this point and Mediafire Pro would allow me to direct link, apparently.

>>52914597
Perhaps you need to reevaluate how you use the computer then. Adobe Reader does not allow you to print to PDF. Acrobat does. And if you have acrobat then you can just edit out all of the other pages in the PDF anyway. Or you can just copy paste the relevant parts to a word document.

Why are you opening PDFs in your internet browser?

Also, "it's" is a contraction of the words "it" and "is". The possessive from of "it" is "its".

im on debian 8 and need to encrypt some files, what are my options?

>>52909930
So I am doing a computer science degree in 20 days and I was wondering what is the best decision for majors:


>Comp science with
Software design and software development majors

or

>Comp science with
cybersecuirty and software development majors

Which one would be best for employment.

The cyber major teaches you forensics and anti-hacking skills while the other option is a full programming education where you learn multiple languages and then all of the software development education.

What is best?
I like anti hacking but I want to program security software. Programming is not present in the cybersecurity major so would doing option 1 be best if that was the goal?

>>52914726
Debian 8 has all encryption options.

You can use terminal to encrypt to SHA and md5/4.

Depends on what you need. As for mounting, you will need to have it placed into the "/etc/init/init.d or /etc/fstab files to auto mount.

You need to have the key placed into the file for auto mounting.

Besides the higher upfront cost of $200, I'd have to run it off my own internet connection which only has 20 megabits up, which I need to use myself sometimes. That, or I could send it somewhere in which case I'd pay a decent bit of money for them to store it there which kind of defeats the purpose of buying it.

I don't need a massive amount of storage space, but I do need to allow a decent number of people to download things. So it's more bandwidth intensive than anything. If this was just a local thing, that would make more sense. I do like the idea of having full control, but it's overkill for this purpose.

So right now i have a radeon r7 260 and a intel pentium g3258. I Just bought a r9 390, and can't get my cpu for another month. How much performance will i be losing without a decent CPU to keep up with this joint.

Go to your local electro market buy a cheap one.
A $10 one will be enough as long as it's USB 3.0 compatible and for things of that cost it's not worth to pay the $8 shipping cost that most online stores have.

Is the performance difference between Haswell and Skylake negligible as many say?
Is 3.2 GHz QuadCore enough these days? (i5-6500)
What do I have to have in mind if I plan on overclocking? (Naturally not with CPU mentioned above but say with i5-4690K)
Is it worth investing in SSD? I mean if all I get is faster bootup I don't really need it.
What about the RAM frequency? Is faster freq necessarily better?

>>52916640
>Is the performance difference between Haswell and Skylake negligible as many say?
No that's a /g/ meme

>Is 3.2 GHz QuadCore enough these days? (i5-6500)
Yes

>What do I have to have in mind if I plan on overclocking? (Naturally not with CPU mentioned above but say with i5-4690K)
A Z-series mobo, and a good cooler

>Is it worth investing in SSD? I mean if all I get is faster bootup I don't really need it.
Definitely, if it's an actually good SSD like a 950 Pro

>What about the RAM frequency? Is faster freq necessarily better?
Doesn't matter

I am anon and I have a question. I live in trumpland, and I'd like to go to college for something tech related. I'm young, but I've been out of high school for a few years now. Cheap would be great, because I can't get financial aid because my parents are middle class. Military is probably not an option, because I am a literal NEET weakling.

Last time I looked into a cheap tech program, I got denied because I wasn't poor enough. It was pretty depressing.

>>52917539
It should work, but I would be worried about whether you have enough power. There has to have been a reason why it came with two. But feel free to go ahead and try it. as long as you don't fuck up the connections and shortem or something you can't kill the card. Whether your pc will be stable under load is another question.

>>52917558
Just self study, if you can't afford it.
Take care also, because going to some cheap american college is silly. Avoid shitty for profits as much as possible, if you don't like getting fucked.

If you actually have marketable skills, try and get some shitty job/internship. I personally have gone through tertiary education, but I started with a couple of internships at tiny businesses.

>>52917718
Well, it depends. A cheaper device is potentially more likely to use cheapo parts that break though.

You could potentially get someone knowledgabel to replace it though? A local electronics repair place could, if you told them that it's just the craclking volume knob and that's the only problem, could fix it super fast and cheap.

At the moment I have no marketable skills. I built my own pc and know my way around software, but most of my job experience is entry level retail. Pretty much a clean slate.

Even if you are going to tertiary education eventually, it's worthwhile to upskill beforehand. I'm a self taught programmer, and going to uni and doing compsci was very easy because of how familiar I was with everything. Uni work being easier also means that working part time or something is much easier.

Is there a way to pinpoint what is makes explorer.exe -specifically the taskbar- to get fucked? Mine freezes every now and then and I have no fucking idea what is causing it.

Sometimes you cane end up with buggy shell extensions installed by shitty software.

Try using shell extension viewer from nirsoft, see if anything dodgy and non msft has been installed. Lot's of programs will install extensions that work fine, but if you disable all third party extensions you could see if a third party extension is the problem.

Python is a good easy language for begginers. You'll probably find millions of resources on it. Shitty "learn to program for dummis/in 7 days etc." are shite though. Look up book reviews, try and find a good one. Learning from a good book is the best way to learn.

Python is easy to start, but don't be scared to move onto something else. Java and C# are very similar and easy to switch from one to the other, and make you very employable if you get competent. Memers will say to start with C but it's just a meme. C is a dead language.

>>52917957
>>52918015
Also, being competent with linux is a very valuable skill. All languages other than msft langs are linux first, and can be a pain to use on windows, especially if you aren't familiar with how linux generally works.

If you have a lightweight laptop or something, try installing it on that. I use windows 7 on my main machine, but my laptop isn't a gaming machine so I use Linux on it.

2) This device is fucking old. Should I hold out for a newer version or just bite the bullet now?

>>52918624
I'll assume your class Plate has the method getY.

If you want to use it in MedieArkiv, there are a few noob mistakes you can make.
1. you cannot just call getY(). You either have to create an object of Plate and call getY from it, like this: Plate p = new Plate();
and then call p.getY();
Or you declared getY as a static method, that means a class method that you can call without creating an object, then you would call it like this
Plate.getY() without creating an object first

2. the method has to be public, not private, package or protected.

3. "One class creates objects, the other class puts them in an arraylist" I don't think this makes a whole lot of sense. But good luck.

I need to get a new laptop, but I'm not super tech savvy and I know if I go to a store they're going to jew me into something shitty and filled with bloatware. What are some /g/-recommended $750-$1200 laptops that have a dedicated graphics card. Also should probably say I have a spare 8 gig DDR3 RAM card so low stock RAM isn't really an issue.

>>52918938

Can't do that. Only options is going to be a trigger.

Gayming laptop? don't.
Get a cheapass tiny light laptop for travelling, and spend the rest of your budget on a decentish desktop.
Unless you NEED to game on the go all the time, don't get a gaming laptop. Overheating problems, support problems, shitty build quality, awful performance. Just don't. You could geta sick as desktop for that budget, and spend a tiny bit on an old laptop.

Get a laptop with a skylake intel CPU so you get a good IGPU and CPU.

Or try to find a laptop with a intel CPU and a AMD igpu.

The whole point of laptops is portability, not carrying a 7KG monster.
Get a desktop if you want to play games in high settings, laptops are for low-mid settings with portability in mind.

>>52919070
Most modelling classes should give you a comp lab or something though? Surely that would eclipse your shitty laptop.

What's the difference between 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0? My lecture notes say 0.0.0.0 is "this computer" but "shouldn't be used after an ip address was set" or something like that. And 127.0.0.1 is a feedback loop used for testing stuff like networks.
I have Apache installed on my computer, and the "it works!" page gets displayed on 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0 and localhost.

Also, more specifically, my lecture notes say that 127/8 is the feedback loop, but normally 127.0.0.1 is used.
What does 127/8 mean? Does it mean I can at most go from 127.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.255 or something like that?

>>52919192
i5-4460 but you are better of buying the FX-8370 with the new Wraith cooler.

>>52919186
127.0.0.1 is the ip of the loopback network device. So internal connections back to the pc.

0.0.0.0 is usually used to mean "all the ip's on all the network interfaces of this pc". Since loopback is still just a net interface, 0.0.0.0 includes loopback, and all local network ip's.

>>52919232
I still havent thought a lot about motherboards. Something around 100 euros if possible.
>>52919238
I was really having 4460 in mind. Just checking so i dont fuck up once i start buying the components for the pc.

Is there anyway to create a WiFi access point for only one room? Or a hotspot? I'm not allowed to have routers where I live and I can only connect 4 devices to the provided WiFi. I'm wondering if I can connect a router to my computer through ethernet and bridge my WiFi connection. I'm almost certain it would work but I'm worried that other people might see the access point and I could get caught. Or that the administrators will catch it which they have done before. Is there any way of doing this? Or should I just connect the router but only use it through the ethernet ports on the back? Is there any way to connect a router but have it not put up an access point?

Tl;dr is there a way to make a routers access point small enough that it's not detectable outside of one room? Or is there a way to use a router without having an access point?

>>52919070
Don't bother with gayming laptops with fancy graphic cards, their only purpose is to increase weight and heat. Modern laptops like xps13 will handle any graphic programs with the integrated I5/7 CPU and GPU and even play modern games on low/mid settings just fine.

>>52919290
>I'm not allowed to have routers where I live
what

>>52919290
Yes, many routers will let you set it to not broadcast the ssid, but you can still connect directly by name.

>>52919341
>hidding the ssid
you can still detect it

>>52919362
You can if you're looking, but most people will not bother. If they can't see the ssid, it doesn't exist.

>>52919340
>college dorms :/

>>52919341
>>52919362
So is there any device similar to a router (ethernet ports on back) that doesn't broadcast at all?

>>52919387
Oh trust me, they bother. Roommate last year had a wifi booster for less than a week before they were knocking on our door to search the room.

>>52919400
Dont live in such a fascist dorm then.
There is nothing you can do.It is emitting radio waves,no matter what you do, you cannot hide them.
A simple $10 device will pinpoint it to your door

>>52919400
Well, no, not for wifi. You can't have wireless without broadcasting. But you can just turn wifi off if you don't want it.

>>52919247
Hmm ok, thanks

>>52919400
>that doesn't broadcast at all
If it dosent broadcast then its not going to emmit an wifi signal...

My laptop battery, which is only about a year old lost 70% of it's capacity in the last year. It's 100% charge is only 36.8% of what the battery should be. this just recently started happening, last week it was fine with 100% being only 98% of design capacity. I'm running arch.

>>52919425
That's what I was afraid of. I'm moving into a house next school year but I was hoping I could find a solution to the problem for now

>>52919447
You are running out of cycles. It happens, buy another batttery pack.

>>52919468
happens that drastically in a week? I understand batteries to an extent but I feel like losing that many cycles in such a small amount of time isn't right

>>52917575
the reason is so you don't pull too many amps on one 12v wire
they're only rated for a certain number of amps
it's also;
a. why there's additional power connectors on high-end cards in the first place
b. why they're 6/8 pins, or even muliple connectors

pulling too many amps on a single wire is a fire hazard, don't fuck with them unless you understand why they were made the way they are

>>52919431
>>52919441
If I couldn't shrink down the radius of the broadcast I would want to turn the broadcast off completely and just connect through ethernet ports on the back of the router. I don't need the WiFi

>>52919117
either;
- your hash calculating program a shit
- your file copy program a shit
- your ram a shit
- your cpu is too far overclocked (a shit)
- your flash drives a shit

>>52919551
you can disable the wireless radio on any wifi router in it's settings

>>52919542
I've never heard of those but after a quick Google search I'm not sure if that would still be undetectable. It still broadcasts a signal correct?

>>52919336
>>52919264
Get a GA-z97x-ud3h and a i5-4460 or a i5-4590 for something 10% faster for a few bucks more.

>>52919583
it uses light instead of radio waves

>>52919584
Thanks for the suggestion mate

>>52919290
you could setup a bluetooth PAN, they might not be looking for those (detectable, but not by wifi hardware)

I'm searching for Android OS version 4.1 for Sony Xperia M.

>>52919581
This is the reply I was looking for. So does anyone know if it's possible to bridge my connections on my computer do the WiFi on my computer is shared to the router through ethernet?

>>52919591
And my devices would connect the same way as normal WiFi?

>>52919658
Would a normal router do that or do I need something special?

are you trying to use the provided wifi on multiple computers over wired connections?

you can use many wifi routers for that, or a tethered phone/usb wifi card + a switch

>>52919839
My computer is connected to the university wireless internet. We are only allowed to connect 4 devices and we have to give them the MAC address of each to connect so I can't connect a router. What I want to do is plug a router into my computer and bridge my WiFi and ethernet connections so the ethernet is allowed to get internet from my WiFi adapter on the computer. I want to use the router to plug devices into with ethernet (xbox, nvidia shield, smart tv, etc) but i don't want the router to broadcast or the University will detect it.

>>52919674
I think so.
Your PC receives the free wifi, connect PC to router, share internet through lan like this http://www.countrymilewifi.com/how-to-share-computers-wifi-with-ethernet-devices.aspx

>>52919915
If you honestly believe for a second you can get away with something like this, you've got something nasty coming your way. If they wanted you to have multiple devices on the network they would've let you. They will detect the multiple MACs leaving your network and they'll find you. You can never hide your MAC from them

>>52919915
that's the left-hand solution in my picture

set the router to wifi /client/ mode, so it can connect to a wifi network rather than create/provide one

not all wifi router support this, so check it beforehand

note that in both cases i mentioned, they will only see one device on the wifi, the others a NATted, you don't need to worry about what that means, besides that all your devices will be using one ip provided, rather than being individually connected

>>52919956
you're wrong, MACs can't be seen outside of the local network, and he'd be creating his own wired LAN with an uplink to the provided wifi, only the uplink device itself can be seen outside of the LAN

on windows how do i protect a folder from being deleted and a drive from being formatted? i fear of my music collection dying somehow

>>52920057
>how do i protect a folder from being deleted
remove write permission for all but the administrator
>and a drive from being formatted?
you can't

>>52919915
>>52920010
If you honestly believe that you're a dipshit. He's gonna connect to the internet on each device like a straight up retard.

Regardless of NAT each packet will have the original devices MAC, so the server may communicate back to the device. The Uni will see his private network because of the unusual activity (multiple MACs from one IP) and they will act.

>>52919943
That was my plan, I just wasn't sure if it was possible. Thank you.

>>52919956
>>52920010
I was thinking they wouldn't be. Can anyone else confirm it? As far as I know, the only MAC they would see would be my computer and it would just distribute the internet to my other devices.

>>52919985
So you're saying I should connect a router directly to the wifi? They'll be able to see what it is

>>52920124
So they would see the MAC addresses of each device?

>>52920124
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/765054.html

IP works on a different layer, IP doesn't give a shit about lower level MAC addressing, that's the router's job

>>52920099
but i am the admin
i guess im fucked then

>>52920180
>So you're saying I should connect a router directly to the wifi? They'll be able to see what it is
yes, they'll see your router as a normal wifi device, like your phone or laptop
in client mode it won't look like a router from the outside (from the universities' point of view)

>>52920225
you can remove all write permission, even change the owner, it'll just be less convinient when you need to add/change something (perhaps that's the point)

>>52920235
When I connect a device I have to call technical support and give them the MAC address and tell them what I'm trying to connect. Should I just tell them it's a computer or something like that?

>>52920276
yep, say it's a laptop or usb wifi adapter or something, since they do mac filtering, give them the mac address of the router

consumer wifi router are internally just a little computer with a wifi adapter and a switch built in (the "router" component is actually software), there's no distinction, in fact, you can make a normal computer a router, too, with the right software

>>52920245
is there a delete permission i can disable (only delete), and would that affect the entire folder, or every single file contained on int

>>52920374
i think there is, but that won't stop you from being able to trash the data some other way (for example, overwriting things)

>>52920338
So would I have to connect the router before putting it in "client" mode? Could I use a ethernet switch and just plug it into the wall? I have an ethernet port, but I still have to call and connect through MAC. Or should I use a router and turn off the broadcast?

>>52920276
>>52920338
worth noting i suppose, the only sensitive information provided by a mac address is the manufacturer
the first few digits are a manufacturer ID, so they can determine for example, that a certain device is made by "d-link" or "intel" or whatever
however, they can't tell what device that wifi chip is in from that, and routers don't use special wifi chips, phones/laptops/xboxes use chips from the same manufacturers routers do

thought i'd bring it up now incase you find this and get concerned about it

>>52920475
put it in client mode before calling them
also, if you've used that router before as a normal wifi AP and they've seen it, then you can't use it, they'll recognize its MAC (the MAC won't change between AP and client mode)

>>52920547
Then how are they able to tell what devices I connect? For example when I have to disconnect a device to connect another one they ask which device I'd like to disconnect by name (xbox, phone model, macbook/laptop, smart tv) Those can't be labels I've given them because on a laptop or phone you don't have to call them, you can connect through the browser.

Additionally, how would I edit setting before I connect it? Do I just plug it into my computer? Sorry if I seem a little behind but I've never personally owned or set up a router before.

>>52920400
aahh fuck it thanks anyway

I want to hire a freelancer to make some software to pull some data from the net and do calculations. What language should I have it written in? I'm looking for something common enough to be able to replace the dude easily enough if I want to but that still gets the job done well enough

>>52920658
>Then how are they able to tell what devices I connect?
by what you tell them
>on a laptop or phone you don't have to call them, you can connect through the browser.
this is called a captive portal, basically, the wifi is open, but restricted, and you can temporarily request internet access on that connection via a particular web page (which you're typically redirected to automatically in a web browser)
the difference between this and having them setup a particular device, is that they're adding your device (identified by its MAC address) to a list a exceptions to the captive portal, so they instead get internet access from the get-go

>how would I edit setting before I connect it? Do I just plug it into my computer?
yea, plug it in via ethernet
routers run a web server on themselves, which you view in a web browser for configuring them
you'll need to be quick about it, consumer routers typically are setup for AP mode by default, which means it'll be broadcasting its own network moments after plugging it in. if you can set it up out of range of the uni, then do so, just to be sure they don't see it before it's in client mode

>>52920802
should also mention, since they appear to be using a captive portal, you don't actually need to give them your routers' mac address
since you will have access to a web browser on a machine connected to the router (in client mode and connected to the uni wifi), you will be able to see the captive portal from there, and start a temporary session

obviously this won't be convinient, as these sessions typically aren't permanent, so you'll need to re-login every so often

>>52920802
also, the "friendly named" such as "xbox" is just an administrative convinience, that is, it's easier for both parties if you said you wanted to "remove my xbox from the list", rather than "remove 54:82:A3:BF:23:B7 from the list"

>>52920740
Sounds like a job for Python + NumPy to me.

>>52920802
I know that's probably how they got a label for the tv or xbox but I connected my phone through the online portal and they listed it as a Galaxy S6

>>52920853
The online login stays permanent on my other devices. Would it be different for this? Or would it stay permanent too?
