I found this weird thing while walking from my friends house. He said he found more IN his home.
(Maybe I'm on the wrong board but I figured I'd give /x/ a break)

because it's inefficient at small sizes like that, and would likely be very expensive to manufacture, if even possible to manufacture at such a small scale.

Redpill me on Lazarus/Free Pascal/Object Pascal.
Been playing with it for a few hours, and it just feels better than Java and other languages.

opensores delphi 7 remake
language was popular 20 years ago since it was a more powerful alternative to visual basic and wasn't as slow and awful as .net (which is decent now but was ass back in its early days)
language is annoying if you're used to c++ or something but it's nice for quickly making gui bullshit with native performance

>still unsure as to what prompted that
>strapped for cash, buy shitty premade PC because it's on sale

>live in tiny one room apartment
>sleeping

>suddenly, woken up
>AC unit stopped
>darker than usual
>suddenly, it starts again
>PC is off

>assume a fuse blew again
>oh wait, everything else is working
>oh shit
>thinking the shitty PC finally gave up on life
>try plugging it in another outlet on the power bar
>not working
>try plugging it in a completely different outlet
>not working
>start panicking a little
>hold the power button for like 10 seconds
>of course nothing happens
>get up to try and go get a screwdriver so I can open it up and assess the damage
>thing starts on its own
>wait what
>go check system settings
>all hardware functioning
>shut it down, plug it back in the original outlet
>starts up instantly when I push the power button
And shit like this is why my family thinks I'm "good with technology". I feel like I did the equivalent of hopelessly bashing a machine with a heavy wrench and somehow got results.

So I am almost done an unpaid internship. I open sourced the software partway through. How do I make money from it? Ideally, the government would pay me since it's a public good. It's medical/educational. In Canada.

If it really is for the public good and it isn't some spaghetti autism you wrote in your mum's basement, I'm sure you can get paid to further develop it or maintain it.

What do you want to protect your media from?
Spying?
Bitrot, damage, disk failure?

>>60849194
Cancel Ubuntu
>>
Is this for an install to a hard drive?
If so I'd use any Ubuntu variation
If this is a live USB without persistent storage I'd use Ubuntu MATE or Xbuntu
If this is a live USB with persistent storage, I'd use TAILS because the process is automated, and unlike Knoppix you can access the persistent partition from your main OS

What does /g/ think of the eu antitrust lawsuit against google for how it runs android? It seems like a bunch of garbage to me. Trying to punish a company for being free for devs because they want them to include some of thier own apps? As if devs were lobbying agains this or something when they freely chose to use googles android in the first place. As if its hurting thier sales or something. If anything is fucking thier sales its bloatware that the devs are putting on it.

I'm just mad we can't have a mobile OS that respects your privacy. Of course you can't solve that problem with regulation.
>>
>>60849404
Thankfully, it can be solved with open-source software. It's just a matter of time.
>>
>>60849404
Yeah. I mean you can turn on all your privacy setting for google if you want. Or use cyanogen or another free ROM. But that all takes more effort than it should DESU

Hey /g/.
I need a job but I'm not done with my BS in CS yet. My school has a program to get an associate's from credits taken for BS so hopefully that will help a bit. What can I learn to make up for lack of degree?
Already proficient in java and python. Should I learn COBOL and hate my life or learn webdev to get hired by people that use the word "awesomeness" in job listings? I've got some internship experience and tutored for a while for what it's worth.

So, I'm trying to mod a case I picked up for 10$ (I'm a baller like that) It was an older full tower case but I figured I'd bust out the dermal and make it mine. If I screw up meh, It's 10$.
I ran into a issue. The case only "Supports" 80MM fans. This must change. I want to install 4 120s into the case. So I figure I will just start drilling extra holes and calling it a day.
My question is. Do you know if a site that has templates for a 120mm Drillout? I've been googling for about 30 minutes and all sites the .jpg is dead.

Can't do that. This is a side project and the wife is allowing me to do this as long as I do not go nuts on the budget. lol (Baby on the way)

Just use some 120mm grill as a template
How UNSAFE is PPTP for VPN use? If I disconnect and reconnect will the "attacker" have to start trying to decrypt my connection from scratch?
Also home VPN thread. What do you recommend besides OpenVPN?

>>60848466
Well yes, they will, but that doesn't make it any more secure, since PPTP is a.) trivial to break, and b.) can be broken from a recorded encrypted session.
IPSec and OpenVPN are both secure if set up properly. If you subscribe to a VPN provider then you're getting OpenVPN, because IPSec is a pain. Deal with it.
>>
>>60848466
Very. It's the WEP of VPNs. Similar flaws, similarly weak.
Look into ipsec, openvpn, openconnect/ocserv, wireguard.
>>
>>60848625
Is it possible to test if your VPN connection is solid?
>Swap out old ass SP120 and 2xCougar 120mm fans on H60 and H100

Magic. I think the old fans actually created resonance in the case or something. ML120 is pretty good. Got 3 for $50 so not that expensive either.

Corsair's ML series has been pretty good for that for me as well.
Their old fans rattled my case to hell.
