Small Questions Thread

How would i daisy chain unbound,squid and dnscrypt. I have dns and unbuond working, but im assuming im getting the order wrong with squid

So I installed windows 7 from a torrent recommended to me on here.
What are the chances that I'm being spied on.
I want to switch to mint/ubuntu, but linux is fucking shit when it comes to watching anime. Where the fuck is my MPC-HC + MadVR? I just want to watch my anime and listen to music in peace, but that's not possible on Windows or Linux

stop spamming this faggotry
every faggot and his mother still makes a million new posts for their retarded questions anyway

>Linux is fucking shit when it comes to watching anime.
Works fine for me, but I watch JoJo, so maybe it just doesn't work with shit anime like what you watch.

>>56201636
You have MPC-HC with Madvr?

Which is better: internal Wireless-G or USB Wireless-N (assuming the AP is N)?

In Linux, what can I do to increase laptop battery life?

Has anybody here ever got an OMCreate aftermarket battery? They seem to be pretty legit, so I ordered one. The 1 year warranty is cool.

How bad would it be if a swap disk hard drive were to start failing?

>>56201618
it's exactly the same newfag.
just that there's now this stupid fucking thread i have to hide on top of it.

at least before the shillfags didn't spam their advertisements nearly as often because stupid questions would kill them off quicker.

now it's just fanboys retarded shitposters and linux babies spamming nonstop.

tl;dr these general threads just stagnate the board allowing shillfags to spam

>>56201765
Sure thing kid.

What do people usually use to check their cpu/gpu temps?

>>56201817
I don't use the failing drive anymore, but a random crash happened and I didn't know what the problem was. I assumed it was that, and it hasn't happened yet.

Also, I saw a 15-cell battery for my laptop on ebay or somewhere like that a while ago. How stupid is it to buy that battery, take out all of the 18650s, replace them with high quality ones (3400mAh vs 1200mAh), put it all back together and use it?

>>56201870
I take that back, it was a 12 cell by AGPTek on eBay (you have to look it up yourself, 4chan thinks it is spam)

So, I'm living in an apartment this year for college with three other fellows. Only problem is that the WiFi is some hot garbage, and there's only one Ethernet port out by our front door (which one of us has to use because they can't connect to the WiFi). We were thinking of getting our own router, but I've never setup my own network before. Would we just have to hook up the router to the Ethernet port and configure it through a web browser? Any tips or articles would be appreciated.

>>56202013

The fact that these threads see ~600 to ~1000 posts a day that would otherwise be spread throughout various additional threads on the board. You literally cannot deny that these threads at least somewhat reduce the amount of cancerous threads.

so I've done a clown install of Windows 10 when the free upgrade was available using my windows 7 oem key.

my question is, would i be able to use the windows 7 key on another computer and have it running Windows 7 since my pc is running Windows 10?

>>56202591
iirc once you use a Windows 7 or Windows 8 key for Windows 10 it becomes a Windows 10 key and only a Windows 10 key

>>56202591
It is a W10 only key and can be used as a OEM key on W7.

So you cant use it on another PC.

At the very least get third party insurance. If you crash into somebody's Porsche, you don't want to be paying for that, or going to jail if you cant. That's also why you should always drive a car that's registered and warranted.

>>56201605
You're retarded. Before /sqt/ we had about a hundred threads a day with people shitting up /g/ with their retarded questions. Now we get tens.
It also improves the answers that people get because having one thread promotes discussion about the best solutions to a problem, instead of just one idiot giving the wrong answer because he was the only one bothered to reply.

If you see someone post their "tech support" thread outside of this general, they're breaking the 4chan rules.
> www.4chan.org/rules#g
> - section 2. "Tech support threads should be posted on /wsr/."
This thread doesn't break the rules because it's mostly not tech support, it's people asking general questions about technology that don't deserve their own thread.

So I fucked up installing Ubuntu on a partition, accidentally deleted the boot Mgr for windows 10, and now I'm stuck with Freya. I enjoyed it but I absolutely HAVE to go back to windows in order to do most of my school work.

it brought PTG and daily lincucks shithreads being spammed on the front page everyday too.

and yet people still spam their stupid questions, programming faggotry, and lincuck bullshit outside of the general shitposts that are always on page 1.

all this did was make mods ignore shilling shitposts and opt for cleaning up the random tech spam instead.
while the same 5 faggots circle jerk in their own little generalized thread.

Now that windows has bash, can windows use lunux package managers?

Hi guys, i know it retarted but i cant install ubuntu on my laptop.

I booted it on a usb stick and when i get to the installetion it just crashed i get errno 13, not the python one, and says somthing like lunching the desktop so i can try and fix it...

All i could find about that problem is its somthing about the boot it self.

I tried to redownload every thing again and try, even tried to use boot-repair and i still get the same problem.

What am i doing wrong?

>>56203497
depends on ISP, but best option is to schedule in advance. or chance waiting 2-4 weeks for hook up

>If you had windows 10 installed legally before, just install it from a USB drive and skip the key authentication in the install process.

The laptop was originally w7 pro and then w10 pro. I mounted the w10 iso onto my flash drive but it didn't really work out all too well. I kept getting a blue screen when I tried booting from the drive. Maybe the installation just messed up?

RedHat linux cost crazy $$$
goes against the 'free'ness of linux
how to get redhat for free (not fedora!)?

>>56203567
Yeahhh.... Windows is really picky about how it gets installed. If you have access to a Windows mahcine, you should run the installer from here to burn it to the flash drive.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
You could also install a win10 iso to a Virtual Machine, pass the flash drive to the VM, and burn it from the VM, but that would take hours.

There is a Linux program to flash Win10 installers, but it's finicky.

I signed out my anonymous google account and noticed it showed the "successfully logged out" screen from the 3rd party email thing for my school. I post a lot of shit on my anonymous one a lot of shit I could easily be expelled for if it was somehow linked to my school account. So is there any way it was? They came up as being posted by my anonymous named account. It could just as easily have been a friend logging into my computer right?

If you didn't have insurance, how much would you have had to pay for the damage done versus if you had insurance?

That is precisely wrong. You can always go back to your copy of 7/8, the key does not disappear, you just can't use both at the same time. But he said his windows 7 key was OEM, so he couldn't transfer it anyway.

So my WRT54GL wifi has been very weak lately, if I upgrade the firmware to Tomato or whichever one was suggested, will it make it fast again?

Or should I dust it off? Because the top part has a lot of dust and it's the part with holes on it.

How do I install Linux onto my hard drive? I just partitioned half of it and don't want to uninstall windows (yet)

>>56204418
you could just use an actual calendar
ooo so scary and impractical

>>56204495
1. Dust it off. Take it apart to make sure there's no dust on the chipset.
2. If it's not already running DDWRT or OpenWRT (or a derivative such as tomato), you should definitely install it because it makes it more stable, and if you add a good cooling solution, you can boost the antenna gain for extra range (That's why you see them with heatsinks and watercooling. It's not for overclocking, it's cooling the power supply to the antenna)

>>56204546
Ah alright I will dust it off, it's been almost two years.

Which firmware do you suggest? DDWRT, OpenWRT or Tomato? If the installation fails, can I still install something on it again? Because the firmware page says:
>Upgrade must NOT be interrupted !
If something were to happen like getting stuck, will I be able to factory reset it with the reset button on the hardware?

I actually really like /sqt/. It's pretty helpful, even when it takes a good bit of time for my question(s) to be answered. Same goes for the QTDDTOT threads.

I just don't like the faggot OP who keeps using small questions thread instead, and the other faggot OPs who don't keep the original post, but less so.

If you were in the true /sqt/ yesterday, the stupid questions thread, you might see just how dedicated one faggot can be when he doesn't like something, and you might be surprise when you see that it's the OP and that these people still exist, to some extent.

Xubuntu.

And yes, there is a difference.

Xubuntu uses XFCE as the desktop environment, and Ubuntu uses Unity shit. The former is less resource-intensive than the latter.

Also, Xubuntu doesn't have the Amazon botnet bullshit that Ubuntu has, and neither do the other *ubuntus, to my knowledge.

Also, Xubuntu really does look a lot better.

>the student version has no Prime videos on.
Pretty sure it does. I never really used the feature (BTN trumps most streaming services in my experience and pretty much just liked Prime for the free fast delivery on everything) but I tried it like once and it worked, unless they removed it recently.

And it's not like I absolutely can't afford it, it's just that I liked the fact I was getting it for half price until now.

Weird, mine doesn't have Prime video, maybe because they did the same to me after I transferred to a university, then I emailed them and they also refunded my money back (About $60) and now I don't see the Prime video option, it tells me to upgrade to the full Prime experience. Maybe it's in the demo version for now? Since my bill is next year.

I'm currently on a gtx 960. The only game that kicks my card's ass really, is Witcher 3. Should I overclock it? I ran unigine heaven, and the max temp I saw was 69c. It was running at 1443mhz without dropping. What kind of core clock should I be going for if I want to keep the temps under 75c? 600w power supply btw if that matters.

>>56205019

Back when these threads first started being a thing they were called either Small or Stupid, once or twice they were even Little. Then Stupid slowly started becoming more common.

>>56205176
Not a big OCer but the way I understand it is that you keep incrementing the clock speed until it becomes unstable (IE driver crash, artifacts and the like). You then increase the voltage into the card to make it stable again. You do this all while keeping an eye on your temps, under 80 is pretty accepted unless you want to be more conservative. Look up the accepted upper limit on voltage for your card so you dont fry it because thats where you really have to be careful.

Basically type in your card and overclock guide into google and you'll find what you want.

Just installed Linux, however I am dualbooting with windows 7. How do I get to choose which OS is loaded? Right now it automatically goes to Windows 7

>>56205637
You need a bootloader. I suggest GRUB if using BIOS or rEFInd if using UEFI

>>56205637
Have you installed Win 7 after Linux?
Then the Windows bootloader overwrites the Linux one and always boots Windows.
If you reinstall the Linux bootloader, that one will give you a menu which lets you choose what to boot.

>>56205637
You can edit the windows bootloader so that Linux shows up.

>>56205683
Okay, thank you - so a 15GB Partition should be fine? Because fiddeling with the partition sizes afterwards could be somewhat bothersome.

>>56205733
15gb for installed software.
That doesn't include any data (pics, documents, movies, etc). So not a problem if you also have a shared partition for data, but if all your data is stored directly on the Windows partition, accessing it directly from Linux isn't good practice (although it is possible).

Yes, if you like the way it looks.

>Can't i just change the DE or WM afterwards if i don't like it?
Yes, but a DE is a whole collection of software that ties well into each other. If you start with Unity, then install KDE, all the programs you have won't be as neatly tied into your DE as the equivalent KDE programs will be. Of course you can replace all of them as well if you want it to be perfect, but it gets to the point where a clean reinstall (assuming you have a seperate /home partition) can actually be faster and easier.

>>56206108
> The normal ubuntu should be fine, right?
Yes.

However,

> Or should i install a flavour like Kubuntu?
Personally, I prefer Xubuntu, and would recommend it over the normal Ubuntu. It and all of the other flavors don't have any of that Amazon botnet shit, to the best of my knowledge.

> Can't i just change the DE or WM afterwards if i don't like it?

TLDR: how do I install linux from dos?

I have an old box with the following:
- floppy drive (+ stack of floppies)
- (IDE) hard drive
- ethernet port
- serial/parralel port (but no cables)
- MS-DOS 6.21

I managed to do some basic file operations through DOS and played in QBASIC a bit.

Now I want to install either debian or a BSD on there. I can put files on the HDD by copying them to floppies but nothing I want to copy fits on a floppy.

But in all seriousness, if your system can handle it, go for Kubuntu. It takes up a bit moar resources because it uses KDE, but they basically function the same.

I fell in love with the way that Xubuntu is, though.

> uhh and it won't fuck up everything like >>56206235 said?
Yes!

You can use GParted in Linux, or you can install the Live CD and use that. I would recommend the latter, so that if Wangblows wipes your shit, you can restore GRUB.
