Newfag here.
Is this "install Gentoo" thing a meme? I remember some guy a year ago talking about how all window users were skid and we should all install Gentoo and learn APL. I originally thought he was trolling and shrugged it off. Recently coming here and seeing it pop up again is pretty Deja Vu'ing. Is this some sort of inside joke?
>>59945076
Yes and no
Gentoo is useful and really good for learning Linux and if you actually know what you're doing
But on the other hand its shit for everyday usage
>>59945076
absolutely fucking DON'T install gentoo
we meme it around because we know it's a fucking nightmare to install and use
if you want to use a distro that will help you to learn about linux you go Debian or it's derivatives.
Gentoo and Arch are not bad distros but they're definitely not meant for learning, but for people that are already experts.
>>59945076
As newfag, I'll let you in on a secret. If you ask for a distro, for a mainstream purpose (animu, ricing, server, desktop?) they'll have a distro war and/or tell you to install gentoo, or > the one I run

Chairs are technology.
What is your chair? Which chair do you wish you had? Where do you buy your computer chairs? When can we expect a price drop in good chairs? Why are sites like amazon so shit at giving filter options for chairs? Cloth? Leather? Mesh?
Chair thread.
>chair
>>59945066
I have seen a few chairs that lay back nearly flat actually.
I have a regular leather office chair. Putting a boat cushion on it made a world of difference, I believe boat cushions are basically mandatory.
They are stiff foam cushions that flatten and form a comfortable pad to sit on. I'd have had to throw out this chair a long time ago if i didn't have a boat cushion.
Can someone redpill me on Bitcoin?
Id heard of bitcoin a shit ton in the past but i was never really cognizant of how it works or how fuckin valuable they would end up being. I want to learn more and maybe buy some to put away.
Beh, buy stocks in something instead.
>>59945015
About 5 years too late buddy. /biz/ was created specifically for shitcoins.
>>59945116
>5 years too late
Even so, i still want to buy a few and just sit on them, if bitcoin crashes, so be it. But from where im sitting they seem like theyre still going up, and will be for a while.
Even if im wrong i still want to take the chance, i got money to throw around

Any thoughts on this combo? That MacBook can be had for thinkpad prices, has a lot of community support (see:GNU/Linux) and comes in a metal body.
I'll link to a doujin for every relavent, insightful answer. I only have loli mostly but whatever.

Assuming you don't need it, ditch the gaymin gpu and use that money to go with some VA or IPS Korean 40+ inch 4k monitor or 34 inch 1440p ultrawide. Being able to play games on the thing will only distract you anyway if you're anything like me and lack self control. Bigger TN panels also look like shit.

What servers are you running and what are you using them for?
I'm running at IBM x3650 m2 for a simple storage server.

Does exploiting the "3 facebook friends password reset" inform the recipient of the three friends used?
>>59944854
Everyone is always notified
>In ad-sell-city
Just ask the facebook helpdesk
I mean the person who's password your trying to get, are they notified on who the verification codes are sent to? Or would you be able to delete all traces from within the account?

Is Opensuse good?
I've heard about his KDE being really professional, but this distribution is rarely talked here at /g/.
Opensuse thread
>>59944644
Lenooox is shit.
opensuse is very good, as is kde. yast is great to have, and the open build service is very handy. that's my opinion on opensuse
>>59944644
Yeah. openSUSE is the GOAT. OBS, YaST, KDE perfection, and a no-nonsense rolling release distribution backed by an entire corporation.
Okay. I realize this is basic level shit but I'm frustrated and desperate.
Using Windows 7/Google Chrome
How do I remap the "open link in new tab" from mouse wheel click (which is ALSO mapped to something else) to say, Mouse4 key.
Sick of having to click mousewheel 30 fucking times to open the link in a new tab.
maybe if your mouse manufacturer has some driver and software you could make it work so that mouse 3 click would be sent instead of mouse 4 click
I think my 10 year old logitech had something like this
X-mouse button control can remap.
I'm using a Razer Naga mouse.
I'll open up the Synapse program and have a look, but I think I tried that months ago when I was also buttstrated by this.
So apparently my brother stole admin access on my computer so now I can't do anything, but i remember when my parents' account was admin (those were the days) and my brother had a windows 10 default admin password 'cause my parents hadn't disabled the hidden admin account, so, he could authorize access when i didn't want to ask my parents. so, uh, does anybody know it? (he said he found it from 4chan originally, and i'm not willing to search through fucking millions of archived posts to find it.)

1. Download the "Bootable CD image", extract the ISO.
2. If you have a blank CD and burner, burn the ISO to a CD. Otherwise, insert a flash drive and use https://rufus.akeo.ie/ to write the ISO to a flash drive
3. Boot from CD or USB on your computer. You may also need to disable Secure Boot and/or UEFI and enable Legacy Mode, CSM, or BIOS mode (depending on what it's called and how new your computer is)
4. Boot it, make your account admin or reset the admin account password
5. Change settings back if necessary
6. Boot back into Windows and have admin access

Well the memory thing is past due, can buy a 3tb drive for what, $80?
>>59944623
Yeah, though his earlier predictions also said HDD's would be booted out of the market by now, if I recall correctly. So he's half-right. You can get 10TB of memory (or total storage, don't know if he means RAM there) for $1,000 but you can't get it in solid state just yet.
Full AV VR didn't exist in any reasonable quality until 2014, though. Computers having nontraditional shapes, too. Or it's at least questionable.
Same with supercomputers circa 2010 having the brain's processing power.

>Many commercial video streaming services (Netflix is not the only offender) use a set of methods that make this kind of fingerprinting possible. The first, called MPEG-DASH breaks down the content of a video into smaller parts. When you live stream a video, you are actually watching a long playlist of individual chunks that vary in their quality depending on the speed of your network. DASH specifies which chunks make it to your browser.
>The second protocol is called variable bitrate encryption and it is a way of eliminating redundancy in successive data bursts to reduce the size of the files that get sent to you. As a scene plays out, VBR protocols compare every new video frame with the one that came before it and eliminate the features of the content that stayed the same. This means that streaming a chaotic action scene, where everything on the screen is constantly changing, would require a series of much larger data bursts, relative to the final credits of a movie, where nearly everything on the screen remains black.
>These two features of the network traffic are unique enough that they can be used as fingerprints for individual videos.
Anyone just using Tor/I2P with javascript always disabled for everything yet?
>>59944315
Your article didn't match your post. I know this is probably a troll but for fucks sake stop recommending Tor.
The US govenrment owns the vast majority of the nodes and the design of the network routes more than half the traffic out of exit nodes in Washington DC.
Tor's vulnerabilities have been known for decades now and it's not meant to be seen as a secure platform anymore. NSA has several means of knowing what you're doing in the network.

Source?

Again, source? The Snowden leaks showed the opposite.
