/SQT/ - Stupid Question Thread

I just asked in the last thread, so I'll ask here, too.

I want to have a home server to use for file backup and cloud storage (with OwnCloud). What's the best way to go about this? Build my own server? If so, what should I go for in terms of hardware? Buy a prebuilt? If so, what are some good options? I've heard about people making servers with Raspberry Pi, so I've been thinking about that, too. I'm not planning on using RAID storage - I was just going to use an automated bash script to copy the contents of one hard drive to the other on a weekly basis.

Will a 6gb GTX1060 video card compliment a 1920x1080p / 144hz monitor, or should I make the jump to a 1070 for staying over 100fps constantly at that resolution (ignoring 1440p)?

Is it possible to write a custom script for diffing and merging in git? I have a custom file format that me and my friends use a lot and I'd like to be able to merge different versions in my own way.

You need to actually hit 144fps to compliment that refresh rate, and for that you'd need a 1080 and overclocked CPU.

I need to backup a Linux machine and the previous tech quit unexpectedly on bad terms and took all manuals, diagrams and notes with him. I need to get a full state backup of that machine and I don't know the best way to go about it, most of what I support is windows. I used redhat 7.0 a little in school in early 2000s but have had little reason to use it since. Is there a goto backup software that's universally accepted as the standard nowadays?
In a perfect world I'd like to boot to cd into a nice gui that can recognises the raid (four 15,000rpm discs in a 1+0) and can back that up to an external drive.

I have an HD600 that I would like to use with some devices other than my computer (CD player, consoles, etc.), but some of these devices aren't natively fitted for the headphones. I was thinking the best way to make it work was to invest in an A/V HDMI receiver so that I can split the sources through the receiver so that they would all work with my headphones using the front auxiliary port.

I started doing research on the receivers, but a lot of the ones I run into have negative reviews saying that the receiver breaks easily, the sound is messed up, passthrough doesn't work, or some other complication. I don't necessarily want to depend solely on reviews, but the flaws that were pointed out made me pause for a second.

What I want to know is what should I look for in a receiver? Are there any recommended ones I should consider and avoid? I don't necessarily have a budget for it, but I don't need all of the bells and whistles. I just need it to function well, utilize both HDMI and composite or component inputs, and display everything to the screen normally so I can use my headphones with it.

has anyone ever tried to migrate from transmission-qt to the official windows client? it doesn't seem to pick up my old resume files.

When someone creates a game "hack" or mod (such as people flying when they aren't supposed to)... how is that generally done?

This is general question education btw. I couldn't care less about vidya games, I just want to better my understanding.

I learned Python and now I've been looking at C/C++. I assume the modders are manipulating the values stored in memory as the game runs. That seems more probable than reverse engineering the game with something like IDA, although that too might be needed in order to understand what memory addresses/values you need to change?

Memory editing.
You can create scripts to identify key memory values such as character position and force them to be set to another number, AKA character's Y value in position to allow them to fly.

It can get crazier:
Identify positions of other characters in world while collision raytracing geometry toward them to figure out if they're exposed from behind cover and then feed that into the user's camera rotation for an aimbot.

Is it possible for crashes to happen by physical location?
I know it sounds ridiculous. I got a laptop end of December. Installed everything (W10), later had it crash a bunch. Usually a big visual glitch followed by the entire screen shifting over a tiny bit, with the right edge looping over to the right, and the whole thing being completely unresponsive/frozen. This was like a week before break.
Took the laptop home for break, and for the whole month, it only crashed once or twice.
Now I'm back at school, and the crashes are back and frequent. Usually a loop of them for maybe 30 minutes at a time, I'll boot up and upon doing anything it'll freeze. Eventually it'll work, but it's not enough to be reliable for any work.
Nothing has changed besides physical location, and in the current location, there is more than one network this happens on.
I thought it was a driver, but I just tried resetting Windows (keep files option) and it's still happening.
Going to try wiping the drive, and if it still happens I'll RMA it, but it's just very odd to me that it didn't happen for a whole month in another part of the country.

I would typically agree with an i7 for dual-monitor setups, but I saw the Australian prices for i7s, and that shit is fucking insane. Overclocking that i5 will be more than enough.

Going 1080/i7 should be done during a massive sale at the end of the year.

>>58718630

in half a year when the new AMD gpus are released, cpu is fine but maybe you should buy a new cooler or change the thermal paste

>>58718340
>You don't need an i7 for video games.
I'm aware of the conventional wisdom. That's going to be less true as time goes on, and in the long term it's going to suck limiting yourself like that

>>58718719
The k series are supposed to be the only ones that can overclock at all. With the 6000 series intel messed up and people were able to find a way to overclock them through unofficial means, but I would imagine they've patched the hole for the 7000s

>>58713681
Depends what you're using it for. Performance per thread is pretty bad compared to modern parts so not good for most games if that's what you're thinking of.

Why should I root my phone?

>>58718719
If you want to overclock at all, get the K version. They up the price for the K version so that you actually can overclock.

On non K cpu's (such as 7700) you cant overclock at all sadly.

I have a LUKS encrypted system, and -- I guess yesterday -- it seems whenever I boot up my laptop there's a chance I get this:

Hey goys, I am on a 6700K and Z170 motherboard with 20 PCI-E lanes. Connected to this I have a 980Ti in the x16 port, and M.2 SSD using x4 and a soundcard using x1.

My motherboard has two Thunderbolt 3 ports which double as USB 3.1 type C, which to my understanding also use PCI-E lanes. I am planning on buying a memory card reader with a USB 3.1 type C interface - will this work on my system or am I out of bandwidth already?

>>58719595

the simple answer is that you've found a kernel bug and should revert back to using an earlier kernel (your grub should have a few older versions, if not refer to your kernel documentation for downgrading kernel)

alternatively you can go in the opposite direction, install the most mainline kernel you can get (I wouldn't go past stable or release candidates but I'm not you mum) and see if it has been fixed there

this is a good question but the answer is complicated and I won't be able to do it justice, so bear with me, however I do know devices will renegotiate down happily if there's not enough bandwidth (graphics cards take a very minor performance hit when going from x16 to x8, less than 10% usually, however x8 to x4 is a huge noticeable performance hit and x4 to x1 is just insulting)

I can tell you right off the bat that you don't have 20 pcie lanes, your chipset has 20 lanes and your cpu has its own 16 lanes, that's how you can get things like sata controllers, usb, firewire, audio and networking all out of a limited lane cpu while still running an x16 graphics card - the motherboard may choose to divvy them oddly up but generally reviews will tell you if there's anything funky going on and if the motherboard has a block diagram it should be somewhat evident

there are generally 2 ways to check which devices are connected to which, the simplest would be to refer to your motherboard manual to see if a block diagram is listed (this isn't always the case), the other way is to use something like hwinfo to verify manually

but given that z170 has 20 lanes (x99 has 8 lanes for reference) I'm almost positive that your x1 slot pcie connectors use the chipset lanes, as will the m.2, so if your x1 soundcard is connected to an x1 slot and your ssd is in the m.2 slot your full 16 cpu lanes are used up by your 980

so if your new card reader is x1 too and you connect it to an x1 slot, it will probably be in the chipset pool (verify with your mobo block diagram), if not your graphics card will drop down to x8 and you'll take a minor performance hit (which won't be much, there's benchmarks out there)

pic related is the block diagram for my motherboard for reference, note that the pcie x1 lanes and m.2 are connected to the chipset and not the cpu lanes (note that m.2 is conditionally shared with 2 sata connectors and a sata express connector, the woes of 8 lanes)

I wouldn't upgrade to a processor that old. I'd be very skeptical of spending much money on upgrades/repairs for old hardware if those upgrades are non-transferable. It tends to be a waste of money that would be much more efficiently spent on newer tech. I do recommend SSDs in almost all use cases.

Thank you for your response! I believe you misunderstood one thing about the memory card reader though, it uses the Thunderbolt port found on the I/O at the back of the motherboard and is not connected through the PCI-E ports on the motherboard's "face". Unfortunately my manual did not include a block diagram, but I did find the attached info.

In any case, if this means that my GPU will be throttled while having the card reader plugged in the Thunderbolt port it is no big deal since I will only have it attached when actively transferring files and not while fully utilizing the graphics card.

ah derp I guess I did, I seem to have glossed over that fact and then assumed you were getting a pcie card reader, in that case everything should run at full speed and my rambling was for naught

if I had to guess though, both pciex16 and pciex8 use/share the cpu lanes but pciex4 is shared with the chipset lanes, because otherwise you'd never get a full x16 link if you had an ssd installed in the m.2 connector (since they're shared they must be using the same pool of lanes and it very likely won't be the cpu lanes)

>>58720734
Thanks again, I'll go ahead and buy that reader. I will also mention however that the motherboard manual states the final PCI-E x4 slot is disabled when an M.2 device is plugged in since those share lanes.

they will be a bit slower than 3.5" drives but otherwise work fine, uses less power and are usually a bit quieter

>>58721515

Not an issue.
What about failure rate?
Another reason going after 2.5" is I can put it in an enclosure and use it as external HDD with no power supply.

I'm looking to upgrade my processor from a G1820.

Current setup is -
G1820
750 ti
8 gb ram
750gb 7,200 hdd

I want to upgrade the CPU first, and eventually upgrade to a 1050 Ti.

Deciding between the 4590s, i3 4170k, or possibly regular 4590. Which would be the best bang for my buck? I want to be able to do light gaming (skyrim, bioshock, l4d2, emulation). The most cpu-intensive things I do are multitrack recording, which the G1820 can handle up to 18-20 tracks before slowing down, but I can only record two or three simultaneously. I want to be able to record 8 simultaneously since I transfer direct from half-inch tape to PC via mixer.

Is a 4590s worth it? They're clocked lower than a 4590 and 4690k, but use way less power. My case is really small and I don't know if there are PSUs in that size (SFX) that have high wattage, mine is 350 watts 80+ bronze.

I've read that 2.5 is a lower failure rate since the parts don't have to move as much/don't need to stress themselves as much when being used.

Hey /sqt/. I come to you with a problem. my old laptop just recently crashed, and I'm having a tough time grabbing files off of it. I have a SATA->USB adaptor, and it reads just fine in my computer, that's not the issue. The issue is, my computer keeps telling me that I need to format the drive to access and use it. As you can tell, this is unacceptable since I have files on there that I need off. Is there a way around this? I would google this but I dont even know where to fucking begin in a google search.

How do I fix this abomination? I would at the very least like to recover my shit

>>58722474
Well lightweight would be nice since I'm gonna run it on a 10 year old laptop.
Also something easy to use and install, which is why I was looking at xubuntu really.

>>58712531
how I can create my own botnet?

>>58722529
I mean xubuntu is quite easy to install and lightweight, but i'd recommend some of these instead: https://www.linux.com/news/best-lightweight-linux-distros
I personally only used MINT, and i don't really use linux all that much, but give it a shot. just pick one, really, and if you're not happy just download a new distro.

>>58722529
Xubuntu is pretty great, I used to use it on an old pentium 4 dell and the thing was really snappy

>>58722529
go for xubuntu, its a fine choice on what you need and xfce is probably best DE in finding the balance between features and customizablity and lightweightness

alternative is manjaro xfce, you get archlinux AUR repo with that, which means lots of software easily

Pale Moon is the only one that's really notable. All the others are practically just Firefox with a reskin.

Though, you absolutely must have at least one of Chrome/FF/IE on hand for websites that require that.

I think this qualifies as stupid. I don't want the little sim card icon with the #1 next to my messages and I don't know how to get rid of it. Just switched to an unlocked Galaxy S7, if that helps. Thanks!

So i installed ubuntu in a separate partition on my hard drive this past weekend on my laptop. I had windows 10 running on the opposite drive but the installation totally fucked up my win 10 side with no explanation. I got everything fixed, but i would really like to have a dual boot system because sometimes I play games. What did i fuck up???

Last semester coming up, and I'll have a ton of time because the only thing left to do for me is my bachelor thesis.
I'm too autistic to get a job or internship. What do? Maybe do some programming "gigs" on Fiverr for 5 dollars each? But i need 'experience' to get a job after college

Do interfaces in Java use any variables? Or do they tend to just declare methods?

>>58723426
Push past the autism and get an internship or something.
If you're good at what you do and they're confident you're going to do a good job they'll leave you to your own devices. You'll need to overcome autism someday- might as well start sooner than later.

I need a simple, cheap Internal Bluray drive for my desktop. Just looking to watch my bluray Chinese cartoons and Star Wars.
Any ideas?

>>58723166
You may be able to repair your OS, but you can't un-dammage your HDD. Nothing you do will delay it failing

>>58723374
How did you fix it? The same thing happened to me

>>58723374
>What did i fuck up???
we dont know
if your learning experience from this was:

>the installation totally fucked up my win 10 side with no explanation

then wtf can we do..

Reinstall ubuntu from live cd

>>58723475
So a new HDD will it be.
Any suggestion for a 2TB 64MB 3.5" SATA 6GB HDD?

>>58723432
It only makes sense to declare public stuff in interfaces, and variables are usually privates.
Don't know if you can declare public variables, just try.

>>58723482
I had to wipe all partitions and reinstall windows. I'm very confused with what happened because i specified ubuntu to be installed in a totally different location than windows so i'm not sure how or what happened.

>>58723483
I'm asking if anyone has had similar experiences to mine and how they dealt with it.

what software people use to test their new hardware? ram, gpu,cpu?

>>58721704
anyone? I can get a 4460s used for 120, 4170 new for 125, or a 4590 new for 160. 4590s is too expensive after doing some looking around.

What do I do?

prime95 and the one built-in the vendor's overclocking software (as long as you use just that and not overclock you aren't voiding the warranty)

furmark but any bench should do, the more you try the more thorough the testing

I got a Samsung Smarrt TV a while ago and finally got the adapters necessary to plug it into my computer. I'm running the following:

1 x Dual-link DVI-I ENABLED
1 x Dual-link DVI-D ENABLED
1 x HDMI ENABLED
1 x DisplayPort Won't enable

Is there something I need to enable? Running Windows 7 and I have AMD Catalyst control.

If I disable one monitor, I can get the TV to act as a monitor, but all attempts at getting 4 to run at the same time haven't been successful. I just want to clone a monitor to the TV.

your monitor probably has USB holes on it / It's a USB hub/splitter

At least mine does / is this

I currently have a MSI GTX 660 - it is factory OC'd by MSI. the problem is, it is a POS that crashes because the OC is too high, so I have to underclock it when I play or games crash.
google returns ZERO RESULTS when googling "msi gtx 660 oc crash" - I tried.
so, with that in mind, how likely is it that if I buy a factory OC GTX 1060, this will happen again? (I obviously can't search for it in advance since I couldn't for my current gpu).

How do i make it so that the threads i have watched are carried over between different devices. E.I. watch a thread on a laptop, it appears on the desktop.

Would like to be able to both play music and talk.

Is it OK to host like 2-3 Sites on 1 VPS Server?
Like
ip/site1 and i register domain1.com on it
ip/site2 and i register domain2.com on it
ip/site3 and i register domain3.com on it
Will i run into any problems?

What can the range of local IP addresses be?

Can I connect a RGB led strip on a RGBW pin header?

>>58724113
No problems. You just have to configure your web server software to serve different websites depending on the Host header.

That's actually why web hosting is so cheap, because you're usually sharing the server with tons of other people

The only potential problems is if the combined traffic of all the web"sites" were exceeding your server's bandwidth

>>58724354
RMA it

>>58724354
I highly highly doubt there (should) be risks with buying an "OC" GPU.

Companies have a name to keep up.
If they sell you a GPU that does not work as they configured it, you can return it because that's a fucking problem

I did it (that was like 3 years ago) but either they returned me the same exact one I RMA'd, or they are all faulty.
but I have lived with that till today, I'm just looking to replace it. and the factory oc one is cheaper than non oc, so I wonder
