Is it physically impossible to crimp these flat-style Ethernet cables?

The wiring in these flat cables I've tried are too thin for regular RJ45 plugs, but I can't find any special RJ45 plugs for flat cables. All I can find are reviews commenting they can't find plugs that work with these fucking flat cables.

I crimp standard round cat5e/6 cables all day at work, but this fucking flat cable is proving OP more retarded than usual.

Welcome to /flt/ - Friendly Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread. Please use other boards to discuss ideology, /g/ is Technology ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].

If you would like to try out Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this purpose for safety reasons.
1) Use the Live ISO to boot directly into the Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with Linux.

With my budget, I can consider up to t450, along with all p and s variants.

My priorities are:
Parts availability in 2-3 years + repairability; durability; compactness; technological relevance over the next 5 years

I like the idea of a t450, but I'm worried that the new [ultrabook] design paradigm will compromise on repairability and durability. Am i justified in thinking so?

>want a non-botnet browser, naturally, I like my privacy
>...also like the analytics on my own data that using Google products enables me to have

I could download Iridium or ungoogled Chromium, but then I thought about it and realized, well, I kind of like the advances in technology and AI that are made possible directly by harvesting & curing a nice strong crop of user data.

In that way, it's sort of a moral imperative to offer up your data. Right?

Maybe not in a way that's dubiously stated in a shady TOS so you don't understand what is being collected and exactly how - admittedly, transparency would be paramount here. But in the ideal hypothetical case of the majority of a population being wise enough to care about their privacy...if everyone shut their doors in the face of companies that depend on those analytics to advance their platforms, by say using strictly non-botnet software only, wouldn't technological progress stagnate?

Is there a middleground? I guess it must depend on the philosophical underpinnings of *why* we should care about our privacy. Is there a concise but enlightening answer to that?

im using Ubuntu 14.04 the backend for ncmpcpp is mpd. I'd like to configure the ncmpcpp visualizer to use multiple colors but when i add more than one (syntax is not an issue here i believe) my visualizer just becomes white. it works fine if i only spacify one color.

visualizer_color = "green,yellow,red"

Also tried it without quotation marks and with spaces after the commas

visualizer_color = COLORS
Comma separated list of colors to be used in music visualization.
syntax rules taken from http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/man1/ncmpcpp.1.html

here is my whole ncmpcpp config file
