8 cores isn't really a good thing, you're getting an Atom chip which is relatively slow per core, comparable to a dual core Haswell/Skylake/etc chip.

I'm trying to configure OpenVPN using a ClearOS (CentOS-based) firewall. Both clients are in VMware.

I'm running into a problem; the guides I've found are for previous versions of ClearOS. Does anyone have experience working with OpenVPN, ClearOS, or both? Thanks

I have a question about networking. I've had my modem and same contract with Comcast for 6 months but about two weeks ago, my modem keeps dropping the Internet. It happens about 6 times a day now but the weird thing is my internet works just fine when I unplug the modem for a minute then plug it back in and wait 3 minutes. I don't see why my modem randomly stops providing Internet unless I reset it

So my question is if the problem with my internet dropping is due to the modem or Comcast and what should I do so troubleshoot or solve the problem. The modem in question is surfboard SB 6183

>>60651408
Use a traceroute tool to determine if the problem is your modem or upstream (i.e. your ISP.)

If you can afford a manor, you can afford not worrying about what your oldest github projects look like. As long as it shows increasing skills and tackling more difficult tasks over time, it shouldn't become a drag on your reputation. That said, remember that anything you publish becomes impossible to retract.

So I want to upgrade my monitor but only want to spend about 475$ CAD, that basically gives me 2 options, a 4K LG IPS (27UD58-B) or a 1080p 144hz TN monitor (something like the ASUS VG278HV)

I am not a big fan of TN monitors, and I really want to make the switch to 4k. But is 144hz really as great as everyone says, even for people who don't do any competitive gaming?

i got a pair of sennheiser 558's, and im confused about what bit rate and hz to choose in windows.
the default is 16 bit, 44100hz (cd quality)

>>60653265
Go through your downloads looking at what you have and thinking of very broad categories, i.e., program installs, ebooks, videos, or broads. Try to keep it under 10 categories. Move your files into directories named after the categories, then repeat the process for each directory. A few iterations of this will give you an organization. Best is not only in the eye of the beholder, but also the enemy of all that is good, so aim for good first.

>>60653265
Delete the whole thing, trust me you never use any of the shit in there anyway. I was in the same boat, had like 50+ GBs of stuff in there. Hit delete one day and never wished I didn't. If it was that important you would of moved it somewhere else already anyway.

I currently have an i5 2310 in my DB65AL motherboard. I was thinking about upgrading to a 2500k for about $50, or I can get a i7 2600k for $100.

Just moved into a new house, renting a room and the wifi is abysmal. I get signals from 11 different wifi networks because the homes are so close together, and because its a duplex I don't have access to the house that has the modem/router in it. What are my options besides throwing a wifi repeater in the kitchen and hoping it gets me above 20mbps?

>>60654778
it's okay anon, I'll get the password soon enough.

>>60654469
ok cool

>>60654797
best bet would be to increase your router's tx-power but you mentioned that you are in a duplex that also has other wifi networks, and if you increase the tx-power too much it can interfere with other wifi network signals also not to mention you can overheat the power amplifier , and just in general create more problems than solve them

>>60654797
i think you should just increase the router's tx=power incrementally by 1 and test how good the signal gets ,but beware you also can get into legal trouble if you increase it too much and cause problems for other people, soo.. yeah...

>>60654866
>>60654851
I considered this, however I do not know the modems login info nor do I know if its a modem/router combo. Hopefully its still system default. I would ask the landlord for that info but he didn't even know the network name and password and he lives here so I doubt he even knows how to connect to the router to begin with.

how does autodimming work on smartphones?

any modern android has an "automatically adjust brightness" option which causes it to adjust the brightness when you turn off the light, or turn on a light.

what is it using to know to do that? is it using the camera somehow to detect light? or is there some other mechanic im missing?

ive tried googling it and i cant find anything, but im bad at googling

>>60654907
light sensor, usually next to the front camera

>>60654907
My best guess is the front facing camera is detecting room brightness. Same logic behind the phone screen shutting off when it is dark in the middle of the call because it assumes its against your face to prevent pushing the virtual buttons.

It might still have had a light sensor. Its usually a very dark oval shape near the earpiece.

>>60654934
There is a light sensor somewhere in the top part of your phone. You can see it if you shine a bright light at your phone, it usually shows as purple circle. Or just block different sections with your finger untill you find the one that causes it to dim.

Keeping the camera on 24/7 and constantly analyzing the picture feed it gives would drain your battery very quickly.

do you realize how silly that sounds? what do you think a camera does beides detecting light?

a camera is overkill for ambient light level detection though, for that a simpler device is used, most likely just a photoresistor

Didn't get any good answers yesterday, trying again.

In the last month I've had both my browsers (Chrome and Firefox) on both my desktops (home and office) start freezing randomly.
It is probably related to a Windows 10 or browser update or something? My browsing pattern and load hasn't changed, but there was a major Windows update.
I have antivirus, thats not the issue. The computers are powerful enough in terms of RAM, thats not it either. Restarting the application doesn't seem to influence it, its probably not a memory leak.
I am not using cheap RAM. I am not overclocking. My system isn't running hot.

Just short 1-3 second freezes at random moments, I think mostly (or exclusively?) while using the browser. Its not when downloading something, even when I change focus from this textbox to the captcha textbox I am at risk of this short freeze.
Anyone else have these since the last month? What could they be?

>Maximum Frequency in Resource Monitor is the same as the Processor Performance\% of Maximum Frequency counter in Performance Monitor.
>For example if you have a 2.5 ghz processor which is running at 800 mhz then % of Maximum Frequency = 800/2500 = 31%. So the processor is running at 31%, or 800 mhz, of the processor's maximum frequency of 2500 mhz (2.5 ghz).
>The "best" percentage of maximum frequency is subjective. Basically, you want the CPU running at a frequency that is fast enough to do what you want while using the least amount of power so it doesn't drain your battery or increase your electric bill unnecessarily. Your power plan in Windows is part of what determines the frequency as well as settings in the computer's BIOS.

t. Microsoft

So thats the blue line, which when I get a freeze is at its max. It shouldn't be a problem, since thats just how fast the CPU works, not its actual workload. The workload (green line) stays low.

Also I just remembered that Flash exists. Its Flash, isn't it? Its fucking Flash. I always have something playing on Youtube, and its fucking Flash ruining me.

It doesn't look like your cpu is at fault here.

Look at your disk and memory graphs there. It would seem something is causing your system to sporadically thrash the fuck out of the swap file, which would lead to temporary freezing. Try turning off your swap file and see if it stops happening.

Where can I find help or guides on modding unity games (or modding in general)?
I have no idea where to start to be honest.

For example, this mod injects a hook into the game and adds own interface into the window, which is pretty close to what I would like to do, but the guy didn't respond to my request to put it on github.

Can anyone recommend a good mouse that can take a beating from heavy use? I need one that will last me for 10 years before it needs to be replaced. Doesn't need to be fancy, all I need are left click, right click, and scroll wheel button, but it needs to outlast my pc. Once I start having to click twice or more to register one real click or it starts to double click on its own when I only press it once, it's 100% dead to me. For work.

I did something pretty stupid. I ran an exe that adds/replace a dll in my SysWOW64 folder because I read that it would fix some game I was trying to play. It didn't and it just made my boot time really slow.
Now I want to delete the file but I don't know if my computer had this dll file before.

I'm looking at the properties and it says the file was created today, which makes sense, but it also says it was modified back in 2007. How is that possible if the file was made today?

if you're missing a library, find out the *proper* way to get it, and place it alongside the game's executable, NOT the windows folder

the modified time is likely from being extracted from an archive which preserved the original creation date

i would delete the file, and run "sfc /scannow"

Hi there

My computer died completely (power spike due to lightning strike)
My cousin has handed me over his other computer which he doesn't use anywhere because it's a breeding place for virusses as he says.
(It has all kinds of malware, keyloggers and fuck knows what else on it)

Now, I appreciate the favor he did me by handing me over this computer (it's pretty decent, GTX660 and FX8320, 8GB of ram) but I would like to know how I will go about getting this to be a safe and good functioning machine again, as if it were fresh from the factory.

I read about flashing and updating the bios which would take care of potential threats that moved to the bios, a fresh install of Windows (he used a pirated and activated with some shady crack, version of W7. I will use my bought legit Windows 10 version on this machine)

How would I go best to cleanse this machine?
I will be buying an SSD with spare money I have left over to replace the 2 HDD's, but I'm not sure whether or not I should replace any other parts like Motherboard and when not, when do I flash / update the bios?
This is the only PC I have, it would be pretty useless doing it right now with all the virusses on right? Perhaps better when I installed Windows 10? Or would that infect the Windows 10 right away so that I have to install W10, then update / flash bios, and then reinstall W10?

Help would be much appreciated, looking forward to replies.

I tried Opera's VPN but it doesn't mask me at all.

I'm thinking of upgrading my PC case. It should be pretty easy to switch it out, right? As long as I get the right size for my motherboard?

replace those with slashes instead

>flash chatroom
literally what

Make sure it's the right size and you're good to go. When you're finally done, make sure you properly connect the front I/O to the motherboard. If you fuck up, you might think your entire build is fried.

Okay, yes, that works, but I don't wanna do that every time I click a link. Why is it not just taking me to the link, and how can I fix it so it does?

Also, make sure it's compatible with your CPU unit. If you get an ATI CPU Unit compatible Case tray it might short circuit the VRAMS on your INTEL APU Chipset.

Those are Hex numbers for ascii characters. Lookup the ascii table and replace the %2f or whatever for the appropriate characters.

%2f = /
%3a = :
%3d = =
%3f = ?

>>60660227
That's on their end. Must be a bug in their conversion from storing the hex values to the actual ascii characters. Those symbols are usually stored in HEX to prevent SQL exploits.

Any good book for networking?
Or is practice more important on this matter?
I want to become a sysadmin

I want to install GNU/Linux(tm) onto a USB stick to use for normie systems that i have to work on sometimes

is there one that can be recommended?
preferably 64/128 GB and one of those small form factor ones

why i ask you ask? i don´t trust reviews and i wanted to ask here if there are any that are not going to die after a month or two of heavy usage

heavy being 2-3 hours per day normal os usage 5 days a week

>>60660458
get wendell odom's CCNA book. It's really good for beginners, even if it's cisco-specific

other than that, get Kurose Networking book for vendor neutral view

also, Tanenbaum if you want to blow your head off

Is there any method of having Flash Player use a proxy or VPN?

>>60660557
not unless the application somehow implements it

asking this question again doesnt change that

>>60660557
Dude stop, just let go of that chat room

Is Windows' scaling for high-res displays still shit? I was considering upgrading from a 1080p monitor to 1440p, but I have a ThinkPad with a 1080p display and everything looks blurry as fuck.

>>60654566
There isn't one. Thankfully, decent ones are cheap.

That depends. If they are ISDN phones you need a net termination (pretty much like a router in that it provides access to the outside world as well as a node for local devices to communicate over) and that's it. It doesn't necessarily have to be able to dial outside*.
Analogue phones, possibly, although you might need to emulate the switching station somehow.
IP phones, no problem whatsoever, they communicate via your home router.

* statement might be wrong

>>60661095
Are any of these expensive?

Are powerlines worth it?

>>60660557
yes

you could for example;
1. create a "vpn" network namespace
2. create routing rules such that all traffic in the "vpn" network namespace goes through your vpn
3. override flash player with a script that runs flash player under the "vpn" network namespace

ISDN NT: Around 5 € where I live, because ISDN is being phased out.
Analog switching center: No idea, can be as simple as a few wires and relays.
Router: You're probably using one right now, go get some DECT phones.

That is because you are using the dark theme and not tomorrow theme.
