I am reading the /g/ wiki on anon
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Anonymizing_yourself

It doesn't actually say how to obfuscate/hide IP. It says to get a VPN, and the VPN page just says "lol get a VPN." I have no intentions of nefarious activity, I simply don't want posts here tied to legit IP. I have a g-botnet email with real info that I use on a separate browser, but I imagine it still is tied to this place to some extent due to captcha.

How do I proxy? Alternatively, do free VPNs that aren't botnets even exist?
Please have some mercy /g/, I know this is a stupid question but the place where I ought to have answers doesn't have it.

My Nexus 5 won't boot into Android (it only gets to the four 'dots' and reboots) so I want to flash stock onto it.
Which version of 6.0.1 do I download?

>>55674989
What is the HDMI connected to? Does the cable work on another computer?

>>55675018
Have you tried resetting it to factory defaults?

I have some old network cable in my basement, on the side of the wire it says "catagory 5 type E10xxxxxx" (don't have the exact numbers in front of me)

Does that mean it's cat5e or just cat5? The roll it's on is dated 97 but I'm pretty sure it was just rerolled onto an old roll some time ago.

>>55675044
Yeah, when I go into recovery mode it just reboots. I can't get the options to appear by pressing volume up and the power button or whatever the combination is.

If I want to pirate like a motherfucker, should I get a seedbox or VPN?

>>55675089
A VPS

>>55675089
>>55675103
Unless you're planning on having the files in your computer without the extra transfer with an FTP, get a VPN. If you want to torrent while being afk then downloading them via FTP, get a seedbox.

For a VPS, you gotta read their TOS first.

A mate of mine has given me his computer to fix, the windows has registry errors and needs a re installation, but one of his disks that has all his programs on it is inaccessible to me and is a dynamic disk.
How can I change this disk so that I can check that everything's alright with it without losing the files?

>>55675117
I don't mind FTPing from a seedbox. My download is good but my upload is poor, because that's what providers like to do in Canada. Privacy is my main concern.

So, what, it's failing to apply Windows 10?
It reapplies the annoying THIS COPY OF WINDOWS IS NOT GENUINE message so I guess it's detecting something
What do I do?

I've been trying to learn 6502 assembly and I don't quite understand of the jmp/jsr/branch instructions work when looking at my binary in an hex editor.

The instruction I'm confused about is "bne raster". This translates to D0 F9 60 in the hex editor. What the hell is it actually jumping to?

If it was really a cat5e cable, they wouldn't label it in a way to confuse the potential customer

Incoming wall of text:

1.) Supposed that I have a shitty case that only has 1 exhaust fan at the back, PSU on top, my PSU can only get air from its huge fan at the bottom which is somewhat near the CPU stock cooler, will my PSU survive/won't overheat in my PC?

2.) Are most intel/AMD CPU stock coolers blows air/pulls air away from heatsink?

3.) I've been using my monitor that has 1280 x 720 resolution in my entire life so I'm also planning to upgrade it before planning entirely my overall custom PC build. Should I go with 1080p 144Hz G-Sync/FreeSync (cheaper option), 1440p 144Hz G-Sync/FreeSync (most expensive), IPS 60 Hz panels? 4K? I'm also aware that IPS looks better/color-accurate which comes with tradeoffs. (60Hz) Also stocks are somewhat limited so I might have fewer options/other monitors that are available on US are hard to here.

I currently play Dota 2 (as a pastime/casually) but I also want something to fall back on if I suddenly got tired at Dota and I want to play other "demanding" games at reasonable settings and FPS.

4.) In countless benchmarks that I saw, GPU with aftermarket coolers ran cooler under load than reference coolers but blows hot air around the case compared to reference coolers that blows hot air outside the case. Will a 140mm exhaust fan at the back of the case be enough to get rid of hot air from the GPU and CPU? (assuming I have an air cooler on my CPU)

this is stupid but I'm asking unironically. Once I type some code into notepad++ how do I save/export as an .exe or program?

Quick guys this instant on Amazon I can get a 6600k CPU for less money than the i5-4690k I was going to get for my build. What Skylake compatible motherboard is going to give me best price per dollar, preferably under $150?

Definitely a stupid question here. If I upgrade to winblows 10 how painless will the upgrade be? Will I actually have to uninstall/reinstall my shit for windows 10 or will it be fairly painless?

have you tried any 'cctv' products? pretty interesting tech

Anyway to actually connect to someone else's Wi-Fi without knowing the password?

Also my Wi-Fi goes out randomly throughout the night, reason why?

my CMOS time and date keep getting reset after I turn on my computer from about 2 hours of it being off.

I've already replaced the battery several times.

It's not the worst thing that can happen, but as a consequence my Windows 7 installation stops being recognized as authentic because of (I think) dazloader tinkering being reset and keeps asking me to authenticate every time and I have black ugly wallpaper.

so my motherboard is sick, right? what can I do?

AIO coolers or heatsink towers?

>>55675935
replace the battery again?? but i've already done that several times

>>55675946
>>55675935
yea actually I found a solution while googling.
>So...I tested the housing of the battery...It has a Negative spring plate at the bottom and two positive folds at the top that make contact with the battery...So i bent them slightly untill i could test the signal on the back of the + and - pins on the motherboard... and FIXED. So easy! Hope this helps someone!
Just be careful not to break them when you bend them...they are fragile.

I'll try this when I get home!

fucked up, here's a better screen

>>55675394
According to 6502 instruction set, bne is a relative addressing jump if Z = 0.
So it jumps to address stored in PC offsetted by 0xF9, and since bit 7 of 0xF9 is one, which signifies negative offset, it's probably some sort of loop

>>55676166
Would take a lot of effort man. If no one else has done something like that on Windows 10 then you might have to make/recolour all the textures yourself. Not to mention you'd have to go into the registry and fuck around just to try an edit some of the windowing styles (if it's even possible).

If you want something like that so bad why not install a Linux/GNU based distro where everything pretty easily customisable if you know what you're doing. And with some of the weebs from /desktop/s actual COOPERATION you might get a little help/guidance along the way

Is it all really worth it though? Why not just install OSX?

>>55676299
i thought about installing linux, steam is the only thing really holding me back at this point

>>55676328
I dual booted with Xubuntu but literally never booted into it because I honestly had no use for it. It is definietly great for the people who know how to use it well and can actually benefit from its advantages over other OS choices.

It's customisability is largely due to the fact the OS gives you so much control over every little thing. It's sort of like driving an automatic car versus a manual car. If you need that sort of control over your car and know how to utilise it, you'll learn to love it, it'll become second nature and you'll probably never go back. If you drive automatic car and have no need to switch to manual besides the fact of saying, "I can drive a manual car," then you might find it tough.

Are you used to driving paying little attention to what you're doing, eating food while driving, one hand free to do whatever, etc, etc? Of course this is easily achievable by an experienced manual driver as well, yet it requires more skill, practice, etc, etc.

Ultimately it all depends on if you'll really benefit from the change or not, just give it a go and you'll probably quickly figure out if it's for you or not.

>>55678319
Yes. I assume the information is contained inside the package somewhere. Have a look at the wiki and maybe try and pick apart a package from /var/cache/pacman/pkg to see what it contains.

I just got the NZXT. Source 530 case and it comes with 2 120mm fans that are linked up to this little board at the back of the case. It's visible as you take off the back wall of the case. Now I can't get the fans to work because they're connected to this little panel. The panel has 2 cables that can connect somewhere but I have no idea where.

It's a matter of personal preference.
DPI doesn't matter, it's about sensor quality and refresh rate (as well as how comfortable it is).

All I can really get is you're gonna be running pretty hot. If its an option I would get a case where there is more than one fan spot besides one for the osu to expel heat directly out of the case cause the psu usually generates a lot of heat. In total that would be 3 or more fans and fan locations. Intel and and stock coolers are both about the same, but amd is generally hotter so if you do get amd should have at least 2 case fans on top of an external space for the psu fan, but you would be safer with 3 there. And with gpu it shouldn't matter too much unless its pumping its air on the cpu or psu. Try to keep those 3 items pumping air away from each other and you'll be fine.

changes the number so that your filter doesn't work on other pages. Go to a different page and check. The number seems to be anywhere between 1 and 14, possibly higher. I tried

div:nth-of-type(*)

but it doesn't seem to want to block it.

Is there a way to efficiently block this without having to manually re-enter all the different numbers?

is it possible someone could have my IP and downloading movies with it?

I've had my internet shut off for downloading movies I've never downloaded or have interest in.

Is there anything I can do about this or is it just my internet fucking up?

OK what the fuck Firefox.

Everyone complaining about RAM but meanwhile I'm having CPU house fires.

This is just watching a single live-stream. I used to watch 3 streams at once with 10% CPU. Hell the picture doesn't even show the rest of Firefox like flash and plugin container. Flash being shit shouldn't set my house on fire.

Is there a built-in way to check MD5 or SHA1 checksums in Windows 10? I tried installing FCIV from Microsoft's website but it fails to extract the files anywhere. I'd much prefer some built-in command line utility, if it exists instead of downloading some clunky freeware GUI utility to do so.

As long as the partition is ext4 (as opposed to ntfs) you can install it anywhere you want.
If the partition is ntfs , you can just reformat it on the installer.
Also, just in case yiu didn't know about it, it's adviseable to make a swap partition some of some 2-4 gb and a ~100 mb ext2 partition to mount on /boot.

In Xubuntu how do I add multiple folders as my wallpaper folder? I could copy all wallpapers to a new folder but it seems like there should be a better solution.

i am downloading an archive of 45GB, thousand of files, from Mega.
i am using Megatool from command line(downloading from browser is a suicide), unfortunately it is skipping hundred of nodes:

"WARNING: Skipping FS node [nodecode] because it's name is invalid "title1: title2".

i noticed it's mostly files with ":" or "?". i could download them normally from the browser ( those special characters will be replaced with _), but there are hundred of them and i don't want to spend 20 hours doing it.

how do i solve this problem? is there a better tool to use?

I'm trying to replace a power supply in my current comp with a more powerful one from my old one since my current comp doesn't have a 6 pin to fit a graphics car in it. Upon looking at the new psu, I can find the 24 pin and 2 6 pins, one with a connector to make it 8 pin, but I can't find the 4 pin I need for the cpu power. I looked at my old mobo and it looks like there wasn't a 4 pin on there too, but I did find 2 4 pins with a connected that doesn't connect anywhere on the psu. Are these the 4 pins I need?

How do I go about accessing (read wiping) the onboard ssd cache from a presumably fried motherboard?
Story is that my hard drive got busted a few weeks back but I absolutely needed the computer for some paperwork and so I had been running debian from the 24gb ssd. Last night a glass of water fell on the laptop while I was going on about some dubious enterprises, and by the time I shuted the computer down and disconnected the battery the damage was already done. Now, thanks to KDE's restore previous session functionality, anyone that manages to boot up the system will be greeted by a naked cartoon 7 year old that remains in a legal grey ground in my country. I really don't know enough about computers to fix it on my own so I'm forced to take it to a repairshop.
Of course the user is password protected but since this was only a temporary thing I didn't bother encrypting the ssd and am pretty sure it could be accesed pretty easily for "backup" purposes.
I don't care in the least about anything in that drive and will accept any method as long as it doesn't damage the circumbenting elements any more than they already are.

Hey guys, can you help a coding newb out.

I need to return a number that corresponds to the specified sequence in the fibonacci sequence using my FibonacciSequence method.

Every number in the fibonacci sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers.

So when I call the method, for example, FibonacciSequence[4], it should go back once in the sequence to take the value of [3] in the sequence and also go back twice in the sequence to take the value of [2], and then add them both together to produce the [4] sequence. In this example, it'd take [3] in the sequence, which is 3, and [2] in the sequence, which is 2, and then add them to produce [4], which is obviously 5.

Love you.

i think you want to move the 2 writeline-statements under the foreach-loop into the loop.
you need to invoke FibonacciSequence a second time in the return statement:

return FibonacciSequence(sequence - 1) + FibonacciSequence(sequence -2);

Also, whats the purpose of the fibonacci-Array? Arent you calculating those numbers with the function? You're using them as index

open start menu, right click computer, click manage, click drive manage. you most likely have a laptop with a hdd that has 2 partitions. you can delete D: and then extend your C: drive.

note: this makes literally no difference in your hdd size.

Can I delete an Android system file without rooting?

My HTC One E9+ came with a malicious app preinstalled, and I want to know if I could plug my phone into the PC, go into the files and delete it.

Because this phone has proven fucking impossible to root. I don't think the bootloader can be unlocked, and it can't be rooted as a result. I'm willing to risk just fucking it up, as at this point in time either I take a metaphorical hammer to the system files, or a real fucking hammer to this stupid fucking Chinktech.

How can i disable Windows 10 family safety. I just recently upgraded from Windows 8 and had found a way to disable it, but when i upgraded, it enabled again and i cant seem to disable it again. Step-dad turned it on for some reason.. Family safety disables my incognito mode and sends reports of my browsing and app history. I'm the Admin on my comp if that helps. This is a retarded question but im retarded and need help. Thanks /g/

Best way to install a 2.5" SSD with only 3.5" bays?

I just installed Linux mint, and downloaded a file that was basically an archive that I extracted. There a few folders in the archive, where is the Linux equivalent of ".exe" so I can run the program?

what does it mean

i need some help with nginx. im fairly new to it.

how can i make a rule that applies to all files in a location? for example I want to make all webms on my webserver to be played at a certain resolution:

the magic code should look something like this

location /webms/ {
        autoindex on;
        autoindex_exact_size on;
            // magic rule that lets all webms be the size 1280x720

Building my first desktop and not sure which mobo to go with, planning to just use one video card, one SSD and one HDD.

How do I go about choosing ram?
There's so many gimmicky looking gaymer ones, what brands would you guys recommend and which ones should I avoid?

>>55686575
im using an MSI motherboard and im doing good with it.. look through them and check if they have everything you need. and make sure the size is fitting (mini ATX, ATX, full)

Which CPU you got?
Avoid ASRock motherboards.

>>55686575
Are you planning on overclocking?
Sounds like you might like microATX build
do you have case already?

>>55686599
Thanks, will keep that in mind.

>>55686614

>>55686621

Get a H170 motherboard.
RAM? you can either go for cheapest or fastest based on your budget.
for a SSD get a 850 EVO 240GB atleast.
HDD 1TB WD Blue.

Here's what I've chosen so far, I might be swapping the video card for an RX 480.

>>55686699
I'm trying to keep the build under or close to $1000 CAD (still need a monitor and keyboard, sadly), performance-wise I'd like it to be able to play some games, like Rust, but playing on lower settings is fine by me.

>>55686704
Thanks, I'll look into the H170. I think a 120 GB SSD will be adequate for my needs.

and choose a nice microATX case
Corsair and Fractal got some good ones

>>55686776
Never get a 120GB SSD unless you plan to use that PC as a facebook machine or a laptop.
Out those 120GB you will have 70-80GB Free tops if you install your OS on it.

Also remove teh SV300 and get a 850 EVO or a Sandisk SSD Plus or Ultra ii.
SV300 is a really bad SSD, both reliability wise and speed wise.

>ASUS B150M Pro Gaming
i said asus B150M but linked to MSI board
here is the asus one I talked about
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132693

but now I realized that it is retarded.
you should take cheapest acceptable board asus/gigabyte for around $60-70
and go for i5 for saved money, not for i3

also dont buy small SSD and dont spend $100 on a fucking PSU
and mos timportantly get rx480 or gtx1060

>>55686776
check if the crucial 8gb ram is cheaper; that is generally pretty decent.
For your video card look into the 480 prices. I'm not familiar with the pricing in canada, but that is a significant step up from the 380X.

For the case I would recommend a corsair 200r. Very easy to build in and has decent airflow. Also has four 2.5" and four 3.5" slots, so storage will never be an issue.

In all honestly, the mobo is not that important. Just find one that has good reliability and if you can find it for a decent price get it.

>>55686776
Here anon: i went $60 over the budget but added the mouse and keyboard too.

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/vknZRG

>>55686951
You can get a B150 motherboard if you want too.
Reduce the SSD to a Sandisk SSD or get a cheaper case.

If i were you i would save and get a I5-6400 or I5-6500 and a 212 EVO since you are already spending this much.

>>55686776
What games are you going to be playing? If it's just MOBA/MMO you can get away with a 750ti which go for under £100 ( so like $110)
With the money you save you can get a decent i5 which will actually run those games better because they are more cpu dependent

What is the smallest distro i can use, if i just want to put it on a small (256mb) flash drive.
It will only have the base install + openvpn deps

>>55686779
>>55686866
Not sure why I never considered microATX, but that sounds like a good way to save money on the case and mobo.

I'll try to find one for around $60-$70 but that might be difficult in Canada, I'm not sure. Do you have a recommendation for an i5? It shouldn't be a problem to get one with the money I'll be saving.

Is there a technical issue with small SSDs? I just don't think I'll be able to make use of a large one, I like to delete stuff. The expensive PSU is because I'm cautious, but if you don't think a cheaper one is a liability I'll look into it.

>>55686824
Thanks, I'll look into those SSD suggestions. I've never used one before.

>>55686879
I think the RAM I chose was the cheapest when I checked, but I'll check again. I'll check the 480 again too.

Thanks, I'll check that case out, sounds good.

>>55686951
>>55686968
Wow, thank you very much. I'll take a look. Spending a bit more on either of those i5s and fan does sound like a good idea, I think I could manage it.

>>55686984
Not planning on playing any MOBA/MMOs, as of right now I'd just like to play Rust. That might change in the future, though, I don't normally play PC games. Thanks for the suggestion, it seems the i5 is popular.

>>55687154
if budget tight then this seems like pretty decent mobo

Specific products or a reputable brand. Buying from the UK (probably from Amazon desu) if that makes a difference.
