Hey /g/. I'm not much of a software guy and I've never set up a website before so I don't really know what I'm doing. I was wondering exactly what the process was to set up a Xenforo forum.
I've always loved Xenforo and now I think it's time to set one up myself, but they don't include hosting with their license so you have to use a third party. I was thinking GoDaddy since they have cheap and fast hosting and I've used them before for domain names.
GoDaddy supports Cpanel (whatever that is) and Xenforo mentions stuff like mySQL and PHP and all this other stuff I don't really understand. I would have no clue on how to install it and tutorials I've looked up don't really explain exactly what their doing.
Will GoDaddy work? What exactly would the instillation process look like?
Thanks in advance.

GoDaddy is literal cancer, please avoid this company at all costs (google em, plenty of hate with good reason). I don't know shit about the shared hosting market as I host my shit on a VPS but I suggest you take a look at http://namecheap.com
As for setting it up, normally after buying and gaining access to the control panel you want to get access to FTP (you might get this already, check the email you'll probably get after ordering). Use a program like FileZilla to upload the contents of this Xenforo to a folder which is probably named httpdocs or www or something along those lines (differs per host). Once you have uploaded everything you want to visit your domain in a webbrowser and you'll probably have to go through a setup process. You'll need a database at that point and you can create one in the control panel of your host, get username, database name and password and enter it in the setup, follow instructions and you got yourself a forum.

Also why would you want to buy forum software, there's plenty of free stuff out there like SMF and PHPBB. (those 2 will probably be super easy to install on namecheap as they have some magical shit there that can install that shit for you)

I am going to Japan for business in May. Specifically Osaka for 3 weeks.
Is there any tech I should consider buying while I am over there? I always see threads pop up on /g/ about laptops and other items that are only available in Japan that people get jealous of.
Not a weeb, never watched anime besides DBZ when I was a child so that stuff does not interest me at all. That's why I figured i'd ask in /g/ instead of /jp/. Japanese co-workers also told me they'd show me around.

You can order just about anything online nowadays. What's mostly handy with your situation is that you can purchase goods from yahoo auction without using a middleman service.

>On my first day of work as the editor in chief of the New York Observer, which had been acquired five years earlier by Jared Kushner, now the son-in-law and senior adviser to President Trump, I inherited an office and a desktop computer, both in fine but used condition. The computer was a recent-model Mac, but when I turned it on, it was inexplicably running Windows. I summoned our beleaguered IT guy to explain, and he informed me that it had belonged to Kushner, who liked the design of Apple products but preferred the Windows OS.
>“So he was basically using a $2,500 desktop as a monitor?” I asked. The IT guy shrugged.
>In retrospect, this tiny moment seems like a metaphor. Frankensteining two products you appreciate into one product you appreciate even more isn’t irrational; it’s even creative, in a way. On the other hand, why did the newspaper’s owner need a $2,500 monitor? How was it anything but a vanity object?
wtf!!!??? A MAC running WINDOWS! My God, this man lives in chaos!

What are /g/'s thoughts on Mint? I see a lot of dislike for Ubuntu here, esp Unity, but Mint doesn't get a lot of discussion for a 'noob' distro.

Linux mint works fine but personally I hate the inserted Linux mint branding they put in half the apps on their repository.
Also it comes with a lot of unnecessary stuff installed.

Hello /g/, after the recent success of litfit many of the other 4chan boards want in on the harmony. I come from /biz/ and was wondering if you would like to join us in a merger to make us all rich on the golden age of technology. With your technological intelligence and our investment intelligence we can be the next Steve jobs and Steve Wozniak. So what do you say. Wanna start a board?

You were only created to get rid of the shitcoin spam on here.
I don't want that shit back.

>>59694877
We don't like shitcoin either, and you will not have to socialize with them, we don't. But you guys obviously have raw talent but don't know have a sense of direction. We can help you with that. The future is filled with great opportunities for us. But we have to join together or we will forever live mediocre lives
