Hi /g/
I'm very tempted to totally abandon Windows. Been using Debian on my laptop since a while, but wanna migrate my desktop as well.
Convince me why I should do it.

Give it a try. If you like it, great. If not, go back.
It feels great to be free from the botnet.
You are covering your steps, aren't you?

Does wiping LUKS headers even work.

wat do
>>58602293
Depends what's on the disk and if you have a copy of it.
What is a good gaming laptop with a gtx 1060 (or even gtx 1070 if reasonably priced), preferably 17" and SSD not required (have they gotten affordable now? is it useless to save on SSD cost by getting an HDD-only laptop?)?
price range 1000-1500$
>>58601693
This is the more appriopriate board
>>58601704
>gaming laptop
Nope.
No worse than "Java/JavaScript"
>>58601603
Technically yes, but hairsplitting about such unimportant stuff that actually says nothing is far beyond functional autism.
>>58601603
Yes, but Windows code monkeys don't know the difference because most Windows APIs are available through either of those, many "programmers" don't really even know what the VS build button does (to be fair, the application's design doesn't really help) and much of C-style Windows code used to be full of MSVC C++-isms anyway.

Nice try Shlomo
I'll make a reply stating that this is a low quality bait so that everyone else who feels the same impulse to reply can feel at ease because it has already been done.
We can now let this thread die.
>>58601541
Why should I use lavakike when I can run my own mail server hosted at my own place?
Why do people use LTS distros? They are very vulnerable since they dont get security updates

hmm good question its a choice you make
lts = you get support but no updates
not lts = you get updates but no support
>>58601514

Yes they do. But, you knew that and just felt like shitposting. Here's your (You)
Is this the best mouse?
>No it doesn't have a numpad
I mean the best if you're not completely retarded.
>>58601498
This is by far the best mouse.
It feels great, it's very responsive and you know you clicked because of the feel and sound. It has a great sensor and feel.
Need I say more?
Oh, it's also only 59.99.
>>58601498
>No thumb buttons
Dropped.
Don't even argue
Does anyone on /g/ have a p6000? if so post pic
>>58601405
Yes, several on my ESXi server, why do you want pictures?
>>58601440
just curious :3
i want to know how it feels to be the proud owner of one of those things.
>>58601405
Why would you pay more money for a lower price per value?
For questions that don't deserve their own thread.
Old thread:
>>58594160
My modem is not giving dhcp to non windows os, what can be the problem.
It only works if I connect thro wireless lan
I found this way of protecting against ARP spoofing:ip link set dev <dev> arp off
arp -s <router ip> <router mac>
The problem though is that after a while the Internet connection will fail. What am I doing wrong?
say i want to view the 2015 source code of a webpage, i am able to do that?
How /free/ are you /g/?
>>58601325
I'm free from systemd, what about (You)?
>>58601345
not yet unfortunately; I'm really considering it, though
how big is the chance of bricking your PC when you replace it?
>>58601368
If you just replace it as init, literally 0. Debian still ships with the legacy init scripts for sysvinit/openrc and even if that fucks up, in the grub menu you can choose to boot with systemd (just remember to update-grub2 after you install sysvinit-core)
In /csg/, we discuss the cheap shit you see on Gearbest, Taobao, AliExpress, Banggood, eBay and similar sites.
REMINDER:
Chinese New Year soon, shit won't get shipped out until 5 February at the latest.

Chink phablet with a good/decent camera?
Xiaomi Mi Max Pro Prime caught my attention but if there's anything better I'm all ears.
>>58601281
From what I read it was supposed to be released alongside the regular one but wasn't for some reason. Or maybe it was. Some info is confusing.
Prime/Pro are different names for the same model, some places use both. 4 GB of RAM instead of 3, Snapdragon 652 instead of 650, and 128 gb of storage.
>>58601292
Can't afford that shit. Neat, though.

Are there any ways to make phone calls and avoid the NSA spynet anymore?
There are apps but I wouldn't trust them with my pizza order.
What about so-called "encrypted phones" like the Blackphone 2 and others?
No. Go in person you fat fuck
>>58601192
Yes. Encrypt voice before it touches the phone via a special microphone that scrambles the analog signal.
You also have to ensure the phone is in a soundproof box so that it doesn't use the external microphones to listen to what you are saying anyway.
>>58601192
Anything that goes to POTS is obviously doomed.
The RedPhone part of Signal does OK, as it uses ZRTP (good old PGPfone!), however the RedPhone part of the Signal server is not open-source. In general ZRTP is fine as long as you verify the key words out of band.
If you trust your server (and you should be running it yourself so you do), Mumble/murmur is actually encrypted somewhat better than ZRTP, uses Opus, and was a very early adopter of a strong AEAD (AES-OCB). So is WhatsApp (ironic, but this is an area that WA is better than Signal).
Metadata is always available and is probably always going to be available - voice is strongly affected by latency and so only low-latency mixnets can be used, which are subject to traffic correlation/confirmation attacks to some degree when faced with a global passive attacker like the NSA.
This is of course assuming your threat model is actually the NSA. It probably should be, because they are actually allowed to share unminimised data with the FBI, DEA, etc. now.
Why is Sony the only brand that still gives a shit about smaller phones that are somewhat high-end? Pic related is literally the only decent choice at 4.6" or less.
A few years ago 5.2" was considered a 'phablet'. Now it's the industry standard.
Probably because it's a Japanese company. Flip phones are still popular in Japan, which are fairly small in size. Hence why the small smartphones.
>>58601133
How do phonelets even type?
>>58601167
>flip phones
How does that even work with a modern smartphone OS? Do they still have physical keyboards?

Yes. However simply not using them bars the use of pretty much any site with registration, so what are you supposed to do about it?
Sure i can /g/entoobeard my way out of it, but that leaves the majority still open and changes nothing.
What is the purpose of this thread?
We can't avoid Google tracking. Google is everywhere.
Is there any way to virtually create a single core out of many cores?
Fool a program into thinking that it is only using 1 core but multiple cores are actually putting in work?
>>58601020
What do you thing an OS scheduler does?
>>58601044
The idea would be to improve performance in older software that only seems to use 1 core anyway
Just disable everything but the coldest running core and clock it to the moon
