/SQT/ - Stupid Question Thread: Fuck Small Questions Threads Edition

You're an autistic faggot

>>56205891
Also, for the people who care, if creating a new thread with the same name, please try to make sure that you keep the same OP up to, and including, the "Protip:" paragraph.

>>56205915
I see!

i've tried searching it but i get nothing "Ulbcwgbsk.exe" is the exe and it has multiple files in AppData\Roaming, all contain an .xml file and most of the time a blank .png weirdly enough

If you want to make a new thread to compete, do it when the current one reaches the bump limit and post "new thread". You'll actually stand a chance of getting people in your thread.

hey I got a small/stupid question
why are you fags such fags?

>>56205891
>Archives indicate that they've been created in their current form since July 1, 2016, and in variations since June 30, 2016.
That's when I started making them. Archives also indicate that Small Questions Threads have been a thing since 2012.

>>56206002
Try asking in the /sqt/ >>56201510

>>56205981
> >capital /SQT/
Hey man, I kept it as close to the original(s) as possible.

Wouldn't have been my choice, but if it's used in the subject, I'll use it in the body.

> If you want to make a new thread to compete, do it when the current one reaches the bump limit and post "new thread". You'll actually stand a chance of getting people in your thread.
If I did that, then the other guy would just make his shitty one again.

Besides, the previous one I linked was created well before the current one hit the bump limit, and it generated replies when the other /sqt/ hit about 254 replies.

I'd rather create this one too early than too late, you know?

>>56206002

I had a hunch. I can't say I'm surprised.

FUCKING PLEASE.

There hasn't been a Small Questions Thread ever since May 4, 2014 that hasn't been a Small/Stupid or Small and Stupid or Small+Stupid (or other variation of such) Questions Thread.

>>56206140
I've got a question: Have you ever been diagnosed with autism?

They aren't "a thing", and haven't been since that time.

What's a decent mid sized case with a reasonable amount of space behind the mobo for cable management? Not squished/bulging the back panel, i.e. not the thermaltake v3.

Not Small Questions Threads.

And rightly so.

Small Questions Threads were phased out long ago.

I'll see to it that you don't.

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.

what's the easiest way to install linux?

>>56206276
Plug the hard drive into another pc, create a seperate partition on it, put a bootable linux image on there, boot that in your DOS pc, and install on the remaining disk space.

if i set my computers dns servers to use opendns, does it ignore my isp dns servers and only go trough opendns?

>>56206351

>>56206276
If you can't do what >>56206315 said;

Install the floppy drive into another PC, and put the floppy into the drive and install Puppy Linux onto it - it should be able to fit.

Whip out the floppy, install the drive back into the original PC, the put the floppy back into the drive.

You should be able to do an install after that.

Afterwards, install a disk drive and knock yourself out with installing *BSD!

So puppy linux doesn't seem to work with floppies, but the forums there linked me to a couple other distros that might, so I'll try those.

And if they don't, I guess >>56206475 will have to do.

I don't know what I did. I don't use antivirus neither do things wrong. I might have got a weird malware. It doesn't affect at all, it just sometimes open an ad website. I tried to remove it, couldn't and forgot about it, since it doesn't really bother me. But well, Imma now be someone's cow to keep milking. How do I remove it?

Alright, Anon!

Good luck!

Here's hoping that the motherboard you're plugging it into has the appropriate pins, though.

Luckily, my old Pentium 4 motherboard has them, but there's no fucking cables, fucking Dell.

Why NetBSD, if I may ask?

>>56206630
Which operating system do you have?

Like I even have to ask.

Install Malwarebytes.

>>56206637

run though the installed programs list and remove everything you can't verify should be there.
Clear the autorun
Clear system timers
Look through the registry for entries relating to stuff you removed in the last steps, and remove those too.
Use file search to look for everything related to your browser and the virus, and remove the last few files.
check hosts.txt to see if your browser's website is not redirected

Not actually going to install netbsd. It's just the most relevant pic I had.

Though now I notice NetBSD actually is among my options: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/OSPackages

Ideas of what to do with a computer I came across? Not too powerful, but is pretty free to do whatever, not the most nerdy person but free to take suggestions.

>>56206823
Why is it split

>>56205958
Signs point to yes.

If you don't have any sort of antivirus, then I would install Malwarebytes.

>>56206735
Well now, that certainly is a chicken-and-egg problem!

Is the low quality thread the cause of the low quality posts, or are the posts what cause the thread to become low quality?

I say the latter is correct.

By that logic, since a very good number of the posts causing this thread to decline in quality are yours, I'd say that you're such a fucking faggot, holy shit.

>>56206738
Well, which *BSD were you planning on? FreeBSD?

Are you willing to try OpenBSD?

>>56206805
Remote file server is one, and is incredibly useful.

Otherwise, you could use it as an IPS, IDS, server, seedbox (although I wouldn't recommend it - it likely draws too much power), or as a thin or thick client (my favorite!).

Which one would you like to try?

>>56206823

Even if you're not that nerdy, a home cloud is always pretty cool.

Installations like owncloud make it easy enough to do.

I have something far nerdier than owncloud but I'm exceedingly happy with the personal music streaming & home audio installation that it provides.

Dear Mr. Sage,

I did not appreciate the way you insulted my thread. Yes, I admit it was a little extreme and overdone. Perhaps a little more effort was needed, but honestly that all just came out of my ass. However, just because you don't like something, doesn't mean that it is(and I quote) 'a shitpost'. I'm not going to do anything like spam your thread, I just would like to share my feelings on the matter. Respond when you can. Thanks for understanding.

>>56206955
It's a shitpost and you fucking know it. Don't like that I called it that? Eat a bag of dicks, shitstain.

Does OP like little boys?

Does OP like gay orgies?

>>56206864
Server would be great!

A file server, right?

I doubt you need to use it as an e-mail client or for actual clients.

But if you wanted to do a home cloud like this Anon is describing: >>56206890 you can easily do that with just a router.

>>56206905
lol give it up fag

>>56206918
Yep, that would be a file server.

There's probably some information in the sticky about it.

>>56206924
Whatever you say, fag. I sure am having fun!

>>56206950
Huh.

What's a tahoe lafs server?

>>56206980

Why is OP such a little bitch?

debian here.
the open source realtek driver work fine, why should i consider using the proprietary one?
My average bandwidth is 4 Mb/s, and my download speeds are never faster than 550KB/s (also on windows, it's a limitation of my network).

>>56207050
Why not both? :^)

>>56207072
I wouldn't know, but my father is too much of a gentleman to let that sort of thing happen. :^)

>>56207078
There's pretty much no reason to use the proprietary one if the open source one works fine.

I'd imagine they just had that one before they could make an open source alternative.

>>56207078
If the open source driver works, it's always the one you want to use.
Only install proprietary software if it's absolutely essential to make your hardware work.

i have a 16gb kingston flash drive
when i plug it in on my win7 laptop i get the "cannot format, the drive is write protected" error
recently i tried plugging it in on my windows 98se ancient pc and suprisingly i could read its contents (but again it was write protected)

is there any way i can unlock it? i can copy files from it just fine so maybe theres a chance of it working

>>56207427
Usually write protection is toggled by a physical switch on the drive

If my PC has two Ethernet ports could I plug in 2 different wires and get faster speeds? One wire would only be for downloading and one would only be for uploading. Would this work?

What is the best program to debloat/debotnet Win10? Besides famous powershell script.

If its just write protected the weird part is that windows 7 wouldn't read it

What did you expect?
I'm sure you read the warning GParted gives you about data loss, so you can just reinstall and then restore everything from the backup you created beforehand.

>>56207625
Nope, i don't habe any backups. Can i fix this somehow?

whats the most commonly used computer language?

>>56207648

>>56207639
You overwrote a chunk of your Windows installation with a new file system.

Disconnect the drive from everything NOW.
Run a data recovery tool over it from a live CD to try and recover as much as it can and copy it over to a different drive. Have fun, it's gonna take a while.

>>56207668

What's the deal, why does SQT mean both Small Questions Thread or Stupid Questions Thread, is this place for Small questions only or Stupid Questions only?

Confusing and annoying as hell. Too scared to post my question in this thread because what if it's too small, or what if it's too stupid, it would have to depend on whichever thread was made at time.

Just pick one and stick with it. Preferably 'stupid', because 'small questions' already sounds stupid. wtf is a small question? Must only can 3 words max? How small is small? You don't know. But stupid? You know immediately if a question is stupid. So it makes more sense for it to be a stupid questions thread.

>>56207678
No. Here's a live system with the tools you'll need.
It's not trivial, it'll take time (especially if you don't know what you're doing), and you're not guaranteed to get anything back.

You fucked your drive cause you thought 2 out of 3 people on /g/ saying "go for it", with only me warning you, was good enough confirmation to do stuff you didn't understand to a working system without a backup.

if I run keepass2 via wine in linux, is it less secure than just running keepassX somehow?

>>56207830
Yes.

I have a 1TB external hard drive plugged into a USB hub which is itself plugged into a Raspberry Pi. The drive is currently formatted as btrfs and exported through NFS to various other devices on my network.
I would like to plug a second external drive into my USB hub and have it behave as if the first drive had just been "extended" (meaning that I could just continue to drop files in the folders I'm currently using on the first drive even though it's full). I would also like my second drive to be usable if my first drive was to fail (it's five years old and even though I haven't used it a whole lot I'm afraid it'll die soon).
So far here are the options I've thought of:
- Software level RAID0. I don't like the idea because if the first drive fails I'll lose everything on the second drive too.
- LVM. But would I still be able to retrieve data from the second drive if the first one was to die?
- Btrfs storage pool. From what I read on the internet it's kinda equivalent to doing software raid. Not sure I want to do that.

Go I have any other option? What would you guys recommend?

Anyone ever RMA'd anything with Corsair from the US?

RAM has been acting up, caused crashes more and more often over a few days. 32 GB (2 sticks of 16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX)

Rig worked perfectly for 1 month. Then I downloaded a GTX 980 legacy driver to use with my GTX 1070 to help make Batttleborn/Borderlands games run better. Supposedly it helped PhysX run better for newer GPUs like the 1070 and 1080. At first it caused some instability and a couple crashes for the first time when I played Overwatch.

Uninstalled the driver, then it caused more errors. So I uninstalled ALL nvidia drivers which then killed the PC, constant crashes and errors and memory issues and PCI errors. Felt like a virus was attacking my PC. Using Windows 10.

Wiped hard drive, tried to reinstall Windows 8 and upgrade back to 10, but just barely installed Windows 8 successfully after 5 attempts due to memory pool errors and other BSODs. Can't upgrade to Windows 10, just rolls back to 8 when it nears completion and gives me errors. Can't upgrade to Windows 8.1 because Windows Update crashes when just attempting to download updates.

Disconnected my SSD, ran memtest86:
First stick in slot 1 with 4 passes successful
That same stick in another slot can't boot up.
The second stick won't boot up in either the first slot or another slot.

Right now it sounds like both the mobo and RAM are fucked, just from downloading a stupid nvidia driver. wtf am I SOL, can drivers physically damage components? Maybe the driver told the GPU to drain too much power? Why is the RAM acting up only now after I downloaded that nvidia legacy driver? Why weren't there any problems before?

Before you guys tell me it's just the RAM, why doesn't the working stick in slot 1 work in slot 3 as well? If it's just the other stick that was bad, shouldn't the good stick work no matter where I put it? It seems like the driver fucked up my mobo too. How can a single driver incompatibility completely kill my rig?

>>56207917
RAM problems? Run memtest.

>>56207917
Ran out of space, here are the specs:
6700K i7 @ 4.0 GHz
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH mobo
GTX 1070 EVGA SC
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB RAM (16 GB sticks) 2666 MHz
EVGA Supernova 850 G2 PSU
Samsung EVO 850 SSD 500 GB

How easy is it to RMA something? Is it a pain or have you guys gone through the process without problems? Will I get blamed for something like this and have to pay for a new replacement? How do you prove something is faulty, or was it my fault to begin with?

>>56207981
I did. But from what I found:

Stick 1 works in slot 1 only, not in slot 3 (by itself)
Stick 2 doesn't work in either slot (by itself)
Sticks 1 and 2 together at the same time in slots 1 and 2 both work for a few seconds to a few minutes with Windows 8 running, but comes up with errors in memtest86.

Since stick 1 only works in slot 1, I'm suspecting it's not only the RAM, but the Motherboard as well. I get memory initialization error codes on the Mobo's LED dispaly.

Jenny looks very pretty in that dress, but why did dressfag obsess over this one specific dress so much?

It's probably a really stupid question, but if I have a jpeg image and save it as a tiff image, will I have data loss?
I know that the new format has no data loss, but since it's a jpeg that's been resaved, I have doubts.
Thanks!

You won't lose data when going from a lossy format to a lossless format. However, the document probably already lost data when it was saved in a lossy format.

>>56207795
Scenario 1: There was data on that drive important enough for you to spend a day (or more) getting it back:
>use the Live CD you used for partitioning
>read up on how to restore data from a partition that was resized
>do that (you can install packages you need into your live environment on most linux live systems)
>you will need a seperate external drive
>if you can get any data back, don't count on it being organized in folders, or still have the original filename. You may literally have to look at each file to see what it is and manually rename it and put it back into a folder structure.
>now back everything up
>partition your drive
>reinstall Windows
>then reinstall Linux
>put your files back on the drive
>no, you can't restore installed software, mail contacts or settings that way

Scenario 2: There wasn't anything that important on that drive.
>reinstall Windows
>then install Linux for a dual boot system
>done

Just gonna hope that's heatsink, noctua nh-d14, like i said though, both chassis and cpu fans are set to prefer to spin as slow as they can im a real big sound autist, ill take an extra 10c over noisy fans any day

I got accepted onto a web dev course at college

I only know the basics of html right now, is this degree worth it? Can I get a comfy office job? please respond

>>56210271
Buy some noctua fans then.
Also which paste did you use?

Those temperatures look quite high for a NHD14.

>>56210211
why can't you enter with a browser?
i can't access it only in the computer labs room coz it's blocked there but i can on my laptop

>>56210293
im using all noctua fans, im also using the noctua paste, idk the exact model, its not what came with the heatsink. Just bought what my store had in stock and it was some noctua paste.

I think temps will always run a little high in this system in general, its an old case for a 'sleeper' build so airflow is tentative at best. At the moment I've only got one chassis fan and that's 120mm for intake. I've got room to potentially put 2 80mm for exhaust but I'd like to avoid that, however ive never used 80mm noctua maybe they arent as loud as my past experience with 80mm leads me to believe.

I think my issue is lack of airflow through the case, seems to get to about 58c on the cpu and 73c on the gpu then just sit there, after 30min at least...
I might run it for an hour or 2 and see if it keeps climbing or if it stays around there.

I'm thinking about dropping $250-300 on a Thinkpad X230. Thing is, I don't really need a laptop but the consumer whore inside me wants it so badly.

If you have a slow device with more than 4gig ram an SSD is the number 1 upgrade to improve how it feels to use. If you are on the fence just do it, it's worth it, you will never go back to HDDs for the OS

Will it make browsing where the slow part is network speed feel smoother? I don't care too much about boot time and application load times as I haven't seen too much of an issue. The issue is that I usually lag when I am, for example, watching a stream on a separate window while browsing.

>>56210426
It downloads all the cached images in a folder

>>56210560
unlikely, that sounds more like processing power, unless you mean buffering (the movie stops completely to load) in which case that is just your internet speed, if it works on your other devices but not the laptop, (buffering, not jittering) you may need a better wireless device.

>>56210592

A core is like an independent CPU. Back in the day they used to sell mobos with more than one cpu slot for servers and overpowered computers. Then they got good at integrating them together. These days most computer's have more than one core, and that helps get around some of the limitations in processor capacity. When you talk about a processor with twice as many threads as cores, that's hyperthreading, and it's a way of trying to get two cores for the price of one by sharing some resources between them. It works better for some programs than others. Your computer can try to distribute the jobs it needs done across all your cores, but some programs are not very good at using more than one or two, especially games. But as time goes on people get better at coding for more cores. L2 cache is like a tiny, expensive, ultra fast little blob of memory that's part of the processor. More is better, but it's usually not something you need to worry about.

So I fucked my windows 10 partition up and now I'm stuck with elementary os freya on my disk driveless laptop. I can't recover anything. Anyways, I've downloaded the Windows 10 iso and boot manager and have attempted using UNetBootIn to put windows 10 on a flash drive to install it that way. Whenever I boot from the flash drive I get a blue screen saying UNetbootin on it. I'm guessing that this happens because I haven't formatted my sdd and that linux is trying to stop me from installing W10 over it? If that is the case. How can I format my sdd if I don't have a disk installer and have to use my flashdrive to install windows 10?

Now, I'm trying to install the iso to my flash drive using winusb and it's stuck on a 'Installing for i386-pc platform.'

A thread is what you get when you run an application. The application is a bunch of CPU instructions (machine code), and the CPU will execute the instructions in sequence.

If you run two applications, you get two threads, and the cpu will switch between them, executing a couple of instructions at a time.

If you have hyperthreading, the CPU will notice when it can execute instructions from different threads at the same time, i.e. when they use different hardware.

If you have multiple cores, the CPU simply has multiples of the hardware needed to execute the instructions, so you can execute multiple threads without having to switch between the two.

It seems nice but when two threads need to work together, only three-star programmers can make it run fast&flawless, and there's not enough of those programmers, so multithreaded programs are usually slow, broken or both.

Cache, at any 'l', is like RAM on steroids. The l1 cache is on more steroids than l2. Get as much cache as you can if you want to go fast. However: If you're a security researcher or otherwise worried about microsecond-scale timing attacks, get a CPU and OS _without_ caches.

>>56211590
CPUs without caches are not a thing anymore. Sometimes a BIOS may be able disable the CPU cache though.

It does introduce huge lag, you really really want caches.

The problem is that a bunch of crypto algos aren't well-designed regarding caches. This means that if an attacker can accurately measure how long their attack takes, they may break your previous encryption.

I am on Windows 10 Enterprise and use 2560x1440 resolution.

How could I improve my font rendering

weird question but I got a philips 242g5 monitor (I know its not great but I got it for cheap in an ebay auction, and I wanted 144hz) but when its on 120/144hz I got these weird horizontal lines moving vertically on the monitor, like scan lines in some other monitors. Its the main monitor in a dual setup, the other being hdmi 1080p and the 242 DVI 1080P. They're most noticeable on darker colors. Any ideas?

>>56212468
~/.mpv/config
<packagemanager> -install mpd

Why with media player i can see a movie smaller than my monitor in a nice quality. But if i feed a smaller resolution to my monitor this look like shit?

My lubuntu (installed on a raspberry clone) keeps trying to mount a certain partition which isn't being used. I checked out /etc/fstab, it shouldn't be mounted on it's own at all.
After unmounting, after a few seconds it keeps gettings mounted again by the "mount.ntfs" proccess.
lsof / fuser doesn't show anyone using the path being mounted.
syslog just logs the mounting itself, not what causes it.

Any ideas how I can attempt to debug this?

I've looked everywhere, and I wasn't able to find a solid answer. I remember reading that LGA 775 motherboards could be modified to accept LGA 771 Xeons, which would effectively make them cheaper C2Quads with the same performance. However, OEM PCs like Dell and the like have far more limited motherboards, and I wasn't able to find anything specific regarding this particular PC I found, an Optiplex 745. I was able to find one for the 755, and they were apparently able to stick a Xeon 3363 in there.

So my question here is: Should I bother with the 3633, or should I just get a Q6600 instead? Like I said, I wasn't able to find any custom BIOSes for the Optiplex 745, only for the 755, and I have no idea if the two are similar. I'm able to find a Q6600 for 15 bucks, or a 3363 for 25, so I just wanna see what /g/ thinks. I'm thinking about giving this PC off to my nephew, to play Miney Crafta and other toasterware on it. Thanks in advance.

>>56213328
It depends, some devices will refuse to charge without the data pins

>>56213432
that should def. not be a problem just connecting it to the 5v pin or whatever it needs, but what about the base concept, would that fuck with the batteries or devices etc.?

>>56213027
yeah and uh, where would I go about raising it?

>>56213453
I doubt it would damage anything if you did it right, it just may not work.

How would I go about blending multiple transparent textures in a single shader pass? Or would there not be that much overhead if I just made like 4 draw calls to the same shader just blending one layer at a time. I know I can just add blending code to the shader and I know how to do that or would that create too much overhead too since I wouldn't be using glBlendFunc.

My university gives every student a convertible tablet PC for personal and school use. Its actually not that bad for taking notes but the piece of shit will not orient correctly. When in tablet mode (portrait) it sometimes flips upside down for no apparent reason. I suspect the accelerometer is a cheap POS. The rotation lock built into win10 always locks the screen upside down instead of right side up, making me unlock the screen, shake the computer around until it orients the right way, and relock the screen. It's becoming a very big annoyance for me. Is there any way I can force the computer to only orient in specific directions?

>>56214585
Maybe

I have a big case fan in the roof of my PC case that has started to make a weird clicking/rattling sound recently. There's a dial on the case that lets me adjust the speed of the fan, which changes the rattling noise, however neither HWmonitor or speedfan notice any difference in terms of RPM (maybe they can't even detect that fan?).

I assume the fan is dying, because I have check that it's not hitting against anything, I can manually turn the fan without noise. It only starts clicking at higher RPMs, and only sometimes (if I speed it up then slow it down it might stop making noise for a while etc.).

Can I just disconnect it and leave it be? I mean it's only a case fan... Because finding an exact replacement would be difficult right? Or are there standardized sizes for case fans? I can't remember the exact name of the case so I'll have to go looking for that...

FFmpeg question

I have a video file with a video track and an audio track and I want to add a song on top of that. I want the output file to have a single video track and a single audio track. In the audio track you must be able to listen to both the original audio and the song. I also want to be able to control the volume of the song or the original audio, or both of them.

ffmpeg -i "video.webm" -i "song.mp3" ^
-filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" ^
-c:v copy -c:a libvorbis -qscale:a 0 -ac 2 -shortest -y output.webm

That does what I want except for the volume part I can't seem to be able to control the volume of either the original audio or the song I'm adding in. I've tried asking Google, but none of the thing I found have worked so far.
