If you know you've got something, then you'll need something to remove it. I normally just do a Malwarebytes scan and then run from there. Is it something benign like a browser jacker or is it more serious?

Am on Linux.

Is it safe to use the same browser for all purposes if I have different profiles?
My main profile has noscript, no requests, https, ublock, caches set to 0kb, no cookies, and other similar measures.
The secondary one just has ublock, and I use it for bank, ebay, school, email.

Is that safe - would my being a /g/ lurker be linked to any of my legitimate activities? I know in the end everything is watched by the ISP and 3 letters, but that doesn't mean I need to have advertisers and trackers watching me.

is there a way to browse pixiv properly? finding by highest rated etc without having a premium account?

as long as your browser isn't saving cookies per session, that's about as far as you can go with being 'fingerprint clean' short of using a VPN.

don't know what would cause this other than general slowness, but if it seems like it's /just/ your keyboard, try reinstalling its drivers.

There was a thread on here about a day ago about some guy being paranoid about people who use the same laptop as him looking through his hard drive.

You can move a hard drive to any computer you want, id imagine in this case its linux. With windows it is more likely to throw a shit fit due to different hardware

>>55987744
Well, there's that thing /g/s been on about lately where google is getting really good at fingerprinting your browser. Not a lot you can do about that besides maybe trying a fingerprint spoofer, and I'm not sure how effective those are. Most of your precautions are sound and will help a lot, although a certain amount of information will be pinned to your ip

If you mean what a PS3/4 says about your network, open = your router's letting every incoming connection through, not good for security, strict = it's only letting connections out, not in, good for security, can break some games that use peer to peer multiplayer. Moderate = your router us letting in only what is being asked to, which is good.

Any suggestions?

>>55988202
It stands for network address translation, and it's basically the thing responsible for taking the information on your home network and making it reach the outside world. Like if your home network was an island country NAT would be the guy scheduling international flights.

When they say nat type is closed/screwed up, what they usually mean is that your ports aren't lined up correctly or maybe you have an overprotective firewall. Sometimes it means that you have 2 routers or your ISP gave you a modem/router combo and you didn't disable the router part before connecting your own router. Try some port forwarding guides and see if they help.

Thingken of placing chrome OS on my mother's t520.

Never had any experience with Linux or whatever and neither did the mother of course but she just needs the browser really so this should be a good performance boost over the windows 7 currently installed.

Any objections?

>>55988319
That 4ghz base clock sure is tempting. You could get away with a lot of things with that I5 but you might find yourself appreciating all that extra power down the road. I think the raid HDDs is overkill. Any system with an SSD just isn't going to see much improvement. Might as well save money on that and maybe put off buying the custom fan and go for the good processor now.

>>55988432
I doubt it would work.

You should have upgraded to 10 while it was free.

So why does /g/ keep recommending VPS as an alternative to VPN for basic privacy/torrenting?

Is there something wrong with how ffmpeg burns subtitles in? Using Aegisub here, the subtitles look really bright yellow in the program and when watching the video with a media player and the .ass file.

When I hardsub with ffmpeg the subs look really dim, as if the brightness was turned down big time, and it doesn't look good.

Ok this is something that's been a mild nuisance ever since I received it, but when I connect to my Xonar STX soundcard I get an electric "buzz" or static that gets higher in pitch the higher my framerate goes. I've tried different power supplies and shit, as well as different GPU's but no difference. Sent it back for an RMA and they couldn't find any issue with it.
What the fuck am I missing?

>>55988824
Who cares? Get a dac and be done with it.

>>55988810
Its avalible in most distros, that does not mean it is good. Some devs hopped on the bandwagon
>support palemoon
Thats my point, the addons i use, dont fucking work in palemoon, and they are not some random jow blow special case addon. A dev is not going to keep a second version just to work on some meme browser
>fork
So they take it from how the dev wanted it, and force it to work with THEIR shit.

>>55988824
did you try plugging your comp into a different wall socket?

If people say that it's possible to get a Windows VM to perform at 95% fidelity to if you were just running Windows natively on your computer. This should technically mean that lower end machines should see a lower impact on performance than higher end machines, since the lower the number to begin with, the smaller a percentage would be.

Is this truth in real life? Because a lower end machine should have more issues running a VM than a high end machine.

>>55988839
>>fork
>So they take it from how the dev wanted it, and force it to work with THEIR shit.
Yeah basically. Like a fork in the road.
>>version
>I love how you zealots never acknowledge this gaping flaw.
It's not a flaw to everyone. What addon do you use? If it's so important you're probably better off sticking with up-to-date firefox anyways.

>>55988882
It depends on the CPU, and their visualization front like vt-d in intel.

>>55988857
I use that command, but I got shit wrong, using Media player Classic to play the hardsubbed video looks good, but it's on youtube that it looks quite fucking bad, I guess it has something to do with the resolution.

By the way, is there a limit youtube puts on the video size and quality you can upload? Tried to upload a 480p 26mins video, but I only got a 360p result.

>>55988916
Gotta imagine that all the CPU power allocated to just running the VM is not gonna be usable for anything else other than that.

>>55988898
So they take it from how the dev wanted it, and they are not some random jow blow special case addon. A dev is not going to keep a second version just to work on some meme browser

why hasnt foobar been ported to linux

>>55988961
Closed source application by a hobbyist.

144Hz or 1440p on a GTX 970? mostly for videogames (lots of overwatch)

>>55988882
So if I understand you, you're saying that a crappier machine would have less total resourses to waste, so wasting 95% of a pentium 4 wouldn't be as bad as wasting 95% of an i7?

>>55988961
And nothing of value was lost

>>55988980
that's mean anon

>>55988975
1440p

>>55988940
>A dev is not going to keep a second version just to work on some meme browser
Which is why they forked it. Otherwise if the plugin was old enough Mozilla would have a variant for older firefox models in their repo still.
>What addon do you use?
I'd need https and an ad blocker for day to day use.
>>fork
>they are not some random jow blow special case addon

>>55988849
I have, but only from the same area of the house. I'll check others.

Since many applications are Windows exclusive, does that constitute Windows products as a monopoly?

>>55988979
Exactly, which in turn should also technically mean that the performance impact is not as bad. I'm not sure how the math would quite work out because 2 cores at 2GHz are not a single number that you can divide into a percentage. But saying it like that, that's what it should mean.

But I don't really understeand what the method that those people mention is like, I imagine that it's sorta like an emulator and I can't imagine how any VM could replicate the performance of it's host machine with only a 5% lost of performance. Unless we are exclusively talking about GPU power fo games.

Video related, is what made me wonder this:

Real stupid question...

Got a new notebook and like everything about it except the trackpad has a weird texture that I am just not getting used to.

What if I got a phone screen protector and cut it to size and placed it over the trackpad, solely for the purpose of making the surface smoother. Is this feasible??

>>55988993
I disagree wholeheartedly

>>55989093
It would be a monopoly if they were forcing software manufacturers to make their applications exclusive in some way. Or if they were porpusely hindering other OSs.

I don't believe they are legally qualified as a monopoly otherwise, especially because other OSs have a relatively big marketshare.

>>55989121
If it is a texture sticker you could just take it off.

Is there some reason Kontakt takes 8 Years to load some patches? the size of the patch doesn't seem to be relevant, since Drums of War (~6gb) loads almost instantly, while ARIA Cello (~3.5gb) takes about 5 minutes. lets not even talk about Cinesamples stuff. it's not my HDD, as I tried copying stuff over to my SSD, with no change. it does this regardless of if I'm loading it in a DAW (in this case, FL12) or in the standalone.

You can do both.
Post a stupid question before you search for an answer.

>>55989103
Setting aside your original question, which I don't think has any practical value, VMs that run at that high of efficiency do so by using hardware passthroughs that bypass the host os. Vt-d built into intel processors accomplish this for most resources. You get the best results if you have your igpu running the video output for the host and the VM on a seperate physical disk

I'm trying to install eclipse neon on my Debian box and it's being pretty fucky. I installed jdk and jre 1.8 and put them in /usr/lib/jre. There are 1.7 open jdk installations there as well.

The eclipse installer is unable to find the 1.8 jvm but can find the 1.7 stuff.

The only thing Google has done is yield one forum result that basically says "I patched this in update x.x" and I'm running an installer that's newer version than that.

Any idea as to why this would happen?

Best cpu+mobo with passive cooling ?

I'm reading through SICP and apparently there are exercises for the chapter divisions. I'm using Dr. Racket as an interpreter, but I'm not sure how to download the exercises for completion.

https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/psets/index.html

These are the exercises I'm looking to do.
I'm very lost, as it seems like these exercises were intended for the MIT/GNU Scheme interpreter. Would they not work with Dr. Racket?

>>55989426
Throw #lang scheme at the top of your file

>>55989352
I meant in the sense that you are dedicating hardware to one of them. But I'm still thinking GPU-wise only I think, how would running a setup like in that video affect CPU intensive tasks? Because ok, you are using the integrated GPU on the host and the dedicated GPU on the VM, but you can't do that with the CPU can you? You have to divert some of the power specificially to one or the other.

Just switched my PCs HDMI cable from my monitor to my TV, and am now using a DVI cable from my monitor to my PC.

Problem is my PC is recognizing my TV as the main display and is treating my monitor as a "projector".

How exactly can I reverse this?

>>55987852
App Store is the only fully legit way.

>>55990076
Right click, display properties or whatever calls it, choose your monitor, set as primary. If it's already primary, no problem, just ignore whatever the win+P monitor calls them, it doesn't actually change anything.

Had to reinstall my distro after i killed it. Previously I was using gespeaker/espeak/mbrola for a project i was working on.

Everything worked fine before but after reinstallation when installed gespeaker it won't open, no errors or anything given it just doen't open.

Also in the software depo if i find gespeaker it won't remove even after cllicking remove. Have tried sudo apt-get purge gespeaker still says that it is installed. Checked with synaptic , uninstalled .

For the life of me i cannot seem to understand why it will not work. would be wonderful if any yall have some insight.

I'm currently running a G3258 @4.5 GHz on a MSI H81M-P33.
I found a super juicy deal on a 4690K and i just had to have it.
Question is, will the motherboard actually support it and run this CPU? On the site it says it should, i've read online about people running this combo successfully as well so i just kind of want to double check.
Normally i wouldn't ask but i'm just scared about the power delivery to it since the motherboard only has 4 pin ATX 12 V instead of 8 like most the motherboards around, will it be enough to juice the 4690k or will it fall short?

>>55990768
It's got the right socket for it at the very least. My 4670k uses an 8 pin but I believe you should be fine with a 4 pin. Since it's a k series however I assume you're looking to OC, in which case you might find your stability is lacking.

Hi /g/. Bit of a complex question about Android. I'm not a programmer so please help me if you can and keep the technical jargon to a minimum. I use my phone to download shit from the Internet. But the Internet connection is not always online. I have set the WiFi manager to inform me when there is an open connection with a beep and vibration. This is good, however sometimes an open network is available but I no beep or vibration notification occurs. It only does when I turn on the screen and spot the open connection in the list. It seems that after a set time of inactivity once the phone screen has been off, the phone stops checking for open connections as routinely. So, if I turn on the WiFi, it checks every second or so. But after a set time, I don't know how long, maybe 30 minutes, the search time gets less frequent and thus less accurate. The connection might be open for 10 minutes or more before the phone notifies me about this.

So, my question to you is - is it possible to edit the config information to extend or remove the delay time to actively search for WiFi as routinely as when it is turned on?

>>55990742
Not much. At all.
Galaxy S7, Galaxy Note 7 and iPhone 7/7plus are the standard recs as usual if money is no matter

>>55990831
I got an s7, but I have to get another phone since I changed carrier. It's a good phone but I didn't find it that special. Changing from s7 to s7 feels kind of a waste.
Is there really nothing noteworthy out there? Nothing interesting? Are all phones out now really cookie cutters with different brands?

>>55990831
To add to this, I got the s7 because the GearVR looked like an interesting entry level VR headset, turns out it's shit.

>>55990851
>Own a Galaxy S7
>"I've been out of the flagship game for a while"
Get the Note 7 or wait for the iPhone 7

The amount of money required to make a flagship phone AND add new features is unnecesarilly risky

There's the LG G5 which has an expansion slot for batteries, cameras, VR headsets, etc but they have released literally nothing cool for it that doesn't have better alternatives

>>55990882
I didn't really take my time to look at other phones, I saw that GearVR was free with the purchase of the s7 and bit the bullet.

Also, I don't like iPhones.

I've been waiting to see if the yotaphone 3 comes out and has an sdcard slot, but they seem to be vaporware at this point.

How's the HTC m10? I had an m8 and liked it, but the m9 seemed to be shit.

>>55990823
Android does this automatically to save battery.

If you Root your phone (e.g. bypass the security to run any command and program you want) you can edit config files but you'll lose battery from it

Just stick to opening your phone and checking for wifi if you need wifi

The Yotaphone is indeed vaporware
The HTC 10 has a infinitesimally worse camera and display than the S7, but better speakers and imo design, but it's largely the exact same.
Huawei's P9 has a dual lens camera like the iPhone 7, but otherwise it's mostly the same. Same performance, battery life.

Flagship phones are all reaching a point of similarity that's hard to ignore.

>>55991530
no

>>55991530
there could possibly be a bandwidth difference, which could reduce your possible resolution or refresh rate

there will be no quality difference with the adapter, it is a digital signal when it goes through hdmi and it is the same digital signal but without sound when going through dvi

http://downloadyoutubevideo.org/

>>55991567
Yes, unless you run some other cable for sound

>>55991567
correct, you cannot pass sound through a dvi adapter

you might have the option to run additional cables into the back of the tv to provide sound channels, but you will have to look into your tv's documentation or at least menus to find out if you have the option for this
just because you have optical ports or 3.5mm ports doesn't mean you'll be able to select those as input on the tv, they may be output from the tv only

Check your motherboard manufacturer's website, they might have a patch for you to download. Gigabyte had one for my board.

It's a terrible book.

I'm trying to set up Audit Policies on my domain controller (Windows Server 2012 R2) for File Access Audits.

So far I've been using the Default Domain Policy which is already in place and working and just activated Audit File Access on it (success and failure for debugging purposes).
I created a simple .txt file (superSecretStuff.txt) and enabled EVERY Audit option on it. The file is located on a network share which the Domain Controller hosts.

My problem is that I NEVER get any File Access Events (Event ID 4663).
What did I do wrong? Every guide I see on the internet does it almost exactly like I did.

I've got ~2009 pc with specs:

stock Q6600 4x2,4ghz
4gb ddr2 ram
gf9600gt

I'm thinking about reusing this pc as my desktop. I would like to move this into another case, buy 240gb SSD and maybe used GTX480. I dont care about any recent games I just want machine for Internet/Coding/Old games with two monitors on my desk.

So /g/ do you think its good idea? Is there anything else I need to do?

no
youre going to want to start with a fresh install of your OS on the ssd though

how do i remove an old computer from the homegroup? it just says unavailable obviously but that computer is never coming back. do homegroups even have a way to do that?
