Is it possible to see server loads through openvpn? The vpn service I use has a proprietary program that lists the loads of each server so I can choose the ones that will be fastest. Only issue is that it's not available for linux...

Where do I find i2p torrents? Is there a site like thepiratebay for i2p?

every now and then, chrome flickers white and scrolls to the very top or bottom of the page i'm on. how do i stop this? it used to be only once in awhile but in the past 20 minutes it's happened 3 times
it happens with ie too but it stays white and i have to restart the browser.

How poorly will an nvidia geforce gt 740m run demanding games?

I'm looking to play through some old video game series I missed out on (Half Life, Mass Effect, Fallout, etc.) and was hoping to just torrent the games and play them on my tv through hdmi but using my laptop.

I've already downloaded and played through Bioshock I & II without errors, but they're quite old.

Would my laptop completely shit out on me if I tried to play Fallout 4 or similar?

>>55064425
extremely poorly, it's not meant for gaming at all. you could probably play half life, mass effect (maybe), and fallout at decent framerates, but I'm talking about the originals. i would guess that you can play fallout 4 on the lowest of low settings, but even that won't get you anywhere near 60 fps.

If users of old nvidia cards, lets say users of gtx 780ti, install drivers from back when that card was at its peak, will they gain performance?

I need an android app that can stop a device from charging and switch to battery automatically, preferably something that I can schedule to happen. It is for an old android phone that I only use as a camera.

Does something like this even exist? An xposed module, maybe? I can't be the only one that has an android phone that sits on a charger 24/7. I try searching and I the only hits I get are to improve battery life which is a completely different problem.

I think there are apps that can control charging voltage\wattage but I don't know if they can switch from AC to battery just by dropping voltage.

Gimped is not the right word
Abandoned is a much better representation, seeing how older AMD cards improve with every update and Nvidia cards dont.
Once a new Nvidia card comes out, the last generation is not developed on anymore.

Also dont be fooled, they DID fuck up Kepler cards performance really bad with an update, but they fixed it shortly after. Hence why the whole gimped thing came out into the mainstream, not just /g/

>>55066597
As a rule of thumb, Intel has better single core performance, AMD has more cores for comparable prices.

I prefer Intel as I'm not trying to do 138765 things at once and most games won't make use of more than two cores

Gonna post this since no one replied to me..

Transcend SSD220S or the Samsung EVO 850? They are about 30 usd apart.

I'm going for the cheaper one since I can use that money on something else, but I'm not sure what kind of performance loss I will be getting, this is going to be my first SSD

>>55066624
The Transcend is cheaper because its a shittier SSD

Dont cheap out on your OS drive eh?

>>55066618
>do 12312 things
Yeah,so your same install as mine,isnt going to be using the same background forced distro settings?
Nah nigga

>more then 2 cores
You might want to get out of 2004 friend.

>>55066618

i was on the impression that amd was going to make a new processor with better single core performance. Im going for best single core myself, and saw that the 4790 is on the top 10 on cpubenchmarks i guess is a safe bet

I have a decent understanding of C++ and have written a couple semi-complex programs using classes. This is a very broad question but how do I transition from writing basic code with emacs to making an actual game or a program that works outside of the compiler? How do I go from making snake with X's and O's to making a 2D game that has graphics? I'm not asking for a detailed guide, just a good jumping off point to get started

>>55066643

In what way is the Samsung better? Speed? Reliability?

As long as it's more reliable than a traditional HDD, I'm okay with the transcend. It's gonna be used to store OS+ some games

>>55066666
Wonder what this is

>>55066650
>same background forced distro settings
what.
More cores allows you to do more, separate things faster. Is that not correct?

...how many games really use more than 2 cores? Certainly not a lot - not enough to warrant getting an 8-core processor.

Is it worth it to reapply thermal paste after a few years?

>>55066688
>As long as it's more reliable than a traditional HDD, I'm okay with the transcend

Even the most expensive SSDs arent more reliable than platter drives. Not sure where you got that idea.

Samsung makes their own NAND and their own controllers made to work specifically with their nand. Controller issues are what make SSDs fail, and companies like Transcend buy random controllers and cheap NAND and slap it all together.

There is a reason the 840 and 850 have become standard for low priced SSDs.

How hard is it to hardcode the softsubs of a .mkv file into the same file? Can it be done with ffmpeg?

#!/bin/sh

do
    ffmpeg -i "$file" -c:a copy -vf "subtitles=$file"  "done/$file" -threads 12
done

>>55066799
Well obviously, but I think two cores can handle my background processes and the other two can handle the things I'm actually trying to do. Sure, I'd like an Intel CPU with 8 cores, but if I'm choosing between a good Intel quadcore and an AMD octocore, I'm picking Intel all day.

Are you going to say that running 60 tabs of Chrome, Skype, Steam, recording services, keyboard/mouse programs, and other misc crap doesn't have a significant CPU load because the PC is already doing so much other stuff?

In general :

if you take something too powerful you'll just waste money, and will not have something efficient.
You should also look at the certification. Take a bronze certification minimum, gold if you can, and avoid the chink brands for some reliable (evga, be quiet, corsair...)

Google the model of your TV ans see what kind of screen mirroring it supports, whether natively or by some apps you can download. I know its pretty popular to do it with your phone.

so I have a USB that I use in the car for music. I put music on it, like normal, used it in my car. brought it back in the house to put more music on it. Now it crashes windows explorer whenever it's connected to my PC.. is it dead? or is it still salvageable?

I'm going to get an s7. I wouldn't mind the edge for the increased battery life and size (big hands) although I'm not sure about the increased cost if it needs repairing and protecting the edge of the screens with a case without covering the screen looks like it could be an issue.

if you want you can get accidental coverage for the phone depending on where you get it. the cost for the screen is going to be a bit higher i'd say given that it's fairly unique, however you need to be aware that a case and solid diligence will be a better investment than a cheaper phone that you neglect.

You have to burn the image to a DVD using an ISO burning software like IMGburn. Your pc probably is too old for USB boot.

Then you change your boot settings in BIOS to load your CD drive before you hard drive. Then when you start the PC up windows setup will start and you just follow the prompts.

Then of course you get DazLoader and make windows genuine.

Hi /sqt/ I have a computer that I want to install the following on:
>Arch Linux primary OS
>Windows 7
>Windows 10

I haven't really done any dual boot stuff for a reaaaallly long time. I only messed with this kind of thing before UEFI became a thing. So I don't know jack shit about UEFI or how it works, or what the best way to install the above three OSs are (all on the same hard drive).

Does anyone have a relatively braindead guide for doing the above? Mostly concerned with the uefi and setting everything up so I can select which OS to boot into.

>>55066984
No, an LTO1 drive can only use LTO1 tapes.

>>55069704

Sorry, not sure how to. I mounted and it just gives the option to install.
It's probably something as simple as copying to usb, but I had read that I would need to to something to make the usb readable, or enable myself to use the usb keyboard because I don't have a PS/2 one.

>>55069770
Secure boot, if you think thats an advantage

>>55069772
Congrats, you have a virus.

>>55069815
Okay, I'll be using BIOS then. Any recommendations for the multi boot setup? Should I use a /boot partition? Is GRUB still the goto bootloader or should I use SYSLINUX?

>>55064425
Depends on the resolution. 1280x720 or maybe lower? could be barely manageable. Depends on how new. A game like fallout 4 will probably not really be viable for a chip like the gt 740 (memory bandwidth due to ddr3 memory will likely be a bit of a constraint) overall it's probably a card meant for much older games, 2010-2013 games with low/medium settings at 1280x720 at best.

>>55069793
Why are you mounting it? You shouldnt be.

You have to use a program to create your bootable USB. Microsoft made one called the USB/DVD download tool. Just google how to do it, tons of software and tutorials to do it.

Im sorry im asking so many dumb questions, i have never messed with stuff like this before

>>55070297
Did you burn your ISO with IMGburn like I said?
Did you "write image file to disc"
Its different than just dragging and dropping your ISO file onto the root of a disc and burning it.

When you restart your computer with the disc in, it should take you to a windows 7 installer. You will see nothing about vista at all.

Also Daz loader is for after windows 7 is done installing.

Shit I've been using this for years just because it functioned properly. Now it's full of bloat and I can't switch all of it off.

What's bloat free with possibly more functionality? I don't mind spending a few bucks if it's that good.

I use:
>ZArchiver
>Amaze (doesnt work well for archiving at all)
>Cyanogen File Manager

Between them I can usually manage to do what I want. The last two are open source. I don't think they are as full featured as ES.

>>55071809
Wishlisted Zarchiver as I'm not using any currently but it looks alright. What does Amaze offer that CM doesn't, and vice versa?

>>55071793
That looks a whole lot like what I think ES should have turned out to be. Thanks.

You know after doing some research I think that ES File Explorer seems to be okay. I had read a blog post about it sending some shit to Baidu in China and gotten paranoid but I think the guy that wrote it was a bit of a sensationalist retard and I was retarded for not being critical when reading what he wrote.

I think ES might be okay

The fuck has Windows 10 got to do with my interests in Android file managers?

It's just all the extra crap. I can't seem to toggle all of it off, and where it doesn't take up space in the UI it makes it clunky.

If my phone was still rooted I'd use Root Browser but I'm currently figuring out what went wrong the first time around.

Plus I can just firewall apps that don't need to be accessing the internet.

Been a while since I used xfce, but if I recall correctly the indicators themselves are plugins for xfce4-indicator-plugin, which just adds an area for them in your panel with one place to find settings for all of them. You probably have to install the indicators for the things you want.

Now here's a stupid question: Can anyone recommend a dedicated MP3 player that supports 128 GB microSD cards ?
I've been looking at those chink Ruizu ones, but they only go up to 64GB.

help me /g/

i am at my workplaces, my m8's pc is having problem

after i reset it again, it work normal but after 15 minutes it goes to shut it down itself.

It can't be RAM since it is not bootlooping?

so what the possible problem? my first suggestion is motherboard

>>55072059

the motherboard is ASUS one with socket 775
the OS is XP

How many processes are created beside the main one when you run this?

>>55072059
Try reseating all your power connectors inside. Are the fans all running ? Maybe it is shutting down due to heat.

Will I ever get banned for abusing the report button?

Is there a distro that is illegal in burgerland due to software patents?

Since I'm not constantly resizing my browser window, is there a convenient way to have webpages properly typeset?
