What happened to IRC? I miss public chatrooms, but now struggle to find popular rooms that are generalized. It seems like you pretty much have to find a special interest and only talk about that special interest.
Additionally, though, there don't seem to be as many people offering help on random questions like programming syntax or simple mathematical proofs. IRC as a culture died, and nothing seems to have replaced it.

IRC isn't even close to dead wtf. I even still see that pathetic chat room courtship going on.

You just have to find good ones to idle in.. but odds are most in there have been "regulars" and will just circle jerk the entire time

So I'm trying to decide how to set up an HTPC/Steam Streaming machine for my living room.
I'd rather not set up any flavor of Linux, as I am not really familiar with them.
I have a main gaming machine that will do the Steam Streaming, I am just trying to determine whether or not to use software or hardware-assisted (aka motherboard/onboard) RAID.
I have 6 5TB HDDs that I plan to set up in a RAID 6 array, possibility of expanding to 8 drives later.
Advice?

Don't use RAID 6.
>>
>>57185517
Why not?
>>
>>57185529
Because 5TB is fucking huge. Somewhere along the line, one of your drives will fail, you'll replace it with a spare and while trying to reconstruct the data two more disks will fail, making all your data gone forever.

Word is there is a high chance Assange is dead and wikileaks is compromised. That could mean his dead man's switch was taken out as well.
Would it be possible for us to crack the insurance files on our own? Has anyone even tried?

Or maybe he's hanging out with Tupac and Elvis... in the moon landing film studio located on the bottom side of our flat Earth.

Probably not

Definitely

If you had $5000 to spend on new tech, what would you buy? I would probably get a gaymen rig (with Windows 10 of course) and a Mac.

Not sure if to post in /v/ or here.
I wondered if its possible to play old Runescape on my android. Without having my account taken.
https://m.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/2t0deo/guide_oldschool_runescape_running_on_pure_android/?utm_source=mweb_redirect&compact=true
I think this would work.
Any tips or advice?
Thanks

x64 was added as an extension to x86.
Why isn't ARM added the same way?
We can have x86_64_ARM chips.

You could just have an ARM cpu in your system in addition to x86_64.
>>
>>57185143
newer chips already have hidden ARM cores running the security modules.
but it's not sensible to mix and match ISAs even beyond the instruction set differences.
for example, x86 has the most generous (to programmers) and insane to implement memory models in common use, whereas most other things including ARM have relaxed models with manual barrier invocation to achieve safe concurrency.
>>
backward compatibility is bad, as x86-64 has proven

I'm in a bit of a pickle /g/.
So a relative of mine gave me his old Monitor and for some fucking reason the thing actually has a SCART in and I thought: "Great, I can connect my old Wii to that, haven't played in ages" but as it turns out the INs on this screen are in some sort of groove which is big enough to fit the SCART adapter but not with the AV cables hanging out of the back.of it. What do?

cut the ends off the cables, stuff the wires inside of the connector and solder the shield to the outside of it

I'm a bit afraid to damage the cables since they're the only ones I have.

>>57185083
Order some extensions or some shit off Amazon. Better yet throw your Wii away you manchild

The iPhone has held its own for almost a decade and has consistently been the best performing phone in the world. It's the #1 phone for richfags in every single country, and yet /g/ still refuses to acknowledge its superiority, even though it's UNIX on a phone, which is awesome.
Why does /g/ hate iPhones?

I hate it because of its closed source shitware. Hell, I can't stand stock Android, let alone Apples retard oriented GUIs. I'm rocking the Oneplus One with CM13 and the Kali Nethunter kernel so I can have a working Kali desktop emulation on it.

Hi /g/. I'm a noob when it comes to how technology works but I've been trying to gain a basic understanding to get a better feel for how the Internet works from an infrastructural level.
I'd like to try to explain my current understanding with the hopes someone will correct/validate it, and perhaps point to more sources to learn from. I don't have the time to dedicate time to something like a college course, but I'd like to get a good enough feel to understand how crypto plays a role in basic browsing (I'm in number theory so there's a connection for me).
Here's how I see it in summary:
>Have magical connection to world wide web via router
>Computer can send requests through this router to (somewhere???) some server for information, i.e. typing 4chan.org means asking to receive the data of the front page from their server, which is constantly updating based on user input around the world according to their programmed rules
>Connecting with https means that this request is first encrypted on my computer before being sent to the router, meaning anyone listening in just sees gibberish, and then the 4chan server receives it and decrypts it using some public-key protocol
>They encrypt the data of the front page and send it securely to me, so no one knows what information I'm receiving, just I'm receiving SOMETHING from them with size ~ x kB.
>If it's just HTTP without the S, then this process is the same without the public-key protocol.
Am I missing anything important? My first questions are: can the ISP read the encrypted information if they REALLY wanted? If so, how? Are there backdoors or something else I've misunderstood?

no, they cannot read it unless they possess the private keys of the website you are communicating with
no backdoors known
