so where do people go for torrents these days? Is kickass torrents still dead?

>>56430905
Private trackers.

but I don't torrent regularly, I just want to catch up on Arrow and Flash but CW is terrible.

>>56430953
cool

so i need to get my dad off windows. im sick and tired of fixing his shit. i put a bootable linux mint usb in his comp and it works pretty good. i'm backing his whole drive up now.

the only thing i know he needs on his comp is an easy to use remote desktop program so he can get into his shop comps, i had him set up with teamviewer, but chrome remote desktop seems even easier (botnet but whatever)

so is all this a good idea/bad idea?

No I didn't. Before I knew about private trackers, I got:

- Vidyagames by buying them

i think he'll like it. he doesn't do anything crazy on it. the only thing i can think he may want to try is some of the programs he uses at his shop (mechanic software stuff). i figure if he wants to do that i can set him up with a virtualbox or maybe wine. a lot of the stuff he uses down there only works on XP

>>56431040
>a lot of the stuff he uses down there only works on XP
Better for him to use Linux than the outdated unstable exploit-prone piece of garbage called XP.

>>56431098
>taking your dad's rights to the computer away from him
And then you go to update it or do something that requires privileges and you break it.
Or it implodes on itself.
Or do you think you can just leave it unupdated like your retarded Windows 7 installation at home because Linux is obviously oh so secure that it doesn't need security updates ?

how much ricing is possible on 8.1? i just switched over from xubuntu cause video games but i really hate the look of the desktop, i know theres a shell that adds start menu but i dont really care about that, i more want a way to make the taskbar a solid color instead of glass and possibly to change icons etc. the default windows personalization doesnt have anything like that (as far as i can tell so far). i was thinking of bblean but it seems outdated atm. any ideas?

is the Newegg accidental plan worth the 15 bucks for my motherboard or should i just get the manufacture defect 2yr for $12? it's only a few bucks extra in case i fuck something up.

mainly asking because i just had to do an RMA for a mobo for the first time and it was extremely unpleasant, and really annoying to deal with. It was Asrock and the new mobo is MSI, don't know if that changes a lot, but yeah.

I got a job within in an IT company but not doing IT and I'd like to start learning not just what would help me eventually move to IT, but the cool things people learn in CS. Some direction would be appreciated on books or guides to start with.

I have a PC and a Mac, I'd like to learn for both of them, either or.

Is there any sort of convertor that converts DVD to USB. I have a Dvd player in the car and i have heaps of movies on an external drive. I dont want to burn a whole lot of movies onto CD's. But if thats the only way. Guess i'll have to do that

I'm running pfsense as my router/firewall
At some point I set up my desktop's static IP to resolve to a domain name, and for the life of me I can't find where I would do that for other static IP's I've set

Is there a name for programs that launch other programs? Like what opens in Puppy Linux on boot? I want to write a little script that acts like a launcher for fun.

Also, would writing that in bash as my first real programming language (not html/css/js) turn out to be hell? I want it to be TUI.

Quick question, PC has been acting up. Since in installed Windows a year or so ago nothing crazy but I'm going to go ahead and just do a fresh install of Windows 10 (I know I know) and reorganize stuff.

Phenom II X4 965 CPU, was going to get a an AMD MSI RX 480. my buddy is telling me the CPU won't hold back the GPU if i OC it. is this correct? last time i came here asking for upgrade advice (i just wanted a new GPU and was asking for the best one but my other friend told me to just upgrade everything) everyone said i had to upgrade the CPU too, as well as the MOBO. pic-related is my speccy, all help is appreciated /g/entoomen.

Take a look at my situation, /g/ents.
I'm looking to buy a laptop, focusing on it having a small footprint, light and portable.
I've narrowed it down to 2 options (although I'm open to suggestions).

Option 1
Asus UX305:
Screen:1920x1080
Cpu: m3-6Y30
Ram:8gb
SSD:256GB
USD:$770

Option 2
Dell xps13:
Screen:1920x1080
CPU: Cire i5-6200u
Ram:8gb
SSD:256
USD:$1750

I know the ux305 looks like the much better purchase but I'm so in love with the xps13 design, i turn my phone on every 15 minutes to look at pictures of it.
Incase you're wondering, i live in jewland. Send help.

I recently got a subscription to a website of the erotic variety and, while I'm enjoying it, I'm having some trouble with their older content

Probably due to the encoding, videos from around 2011~2012 and back are simply huge. 4gbs for a simple 30 minute 720p scene while their newer scenes rarely exceed 2gb

Could I get some points or a tutorial for ffmpeg to reduce their size a bit? h264 would probably help my hard drive a lot

>>56433025
I have an Asus laptop that matches your first one, costs just about as much, but has a slightly stronger CPU (not a huge deal) and 1TB HDD in addition to the OS's SDD (very huge deal). I recommend this one instead.

Nigga, Ubuntu iso is only like 1.4GB.

Most Android roms are around the same size, even bigger in some cases.

>>56433113
1. Get xmedia recode
2. Check the bitrate of the new stuff
3. Convert the old stuff, using the bitrate of the new stuff

If I had to guess, the old videos use a constant bitrate, which is much less efficient than variable bit rate (basically, use less data on the scenes that barely change)

>>56433136

Is M4A lossy or lossless?
I have a library with a couple m4a files, some are flacs transcoded to Apple's meme format because I used to own an iPod Touch and some are downloaded off the internet already in m4a.
The issue I'm having is that I'm trying to get rid of lossless format meme, but Foobar tells me I'm trying to convert a lossy format to another when I try to convert those m4a files to MP3.

I'm building an image board in node js to teach myself how to use a web framework and access a database. I am using express and postgres for the db. I've read that storing images in my database is a terrible idea because it will slow down my querries etc and that I should only store the image's url. My question is what is the best way to host images (maybe 300 max?) on a small scale for my application. Can I host them locally for the time being (and also how would I go about doing that)? Or should I be looking in to a hosting service like AWS? Thanks for any replies

>embed them in a single file without a video stream
This is what I'm going after.
Can it be achieved?

I'm debating wether or not to do a full upgrade or just a new graphics card. My options would either be dish out an essentially new system with either i5 6600k or i7 6700k + an appropriate mobo, OR keep my existing p55 mojo + i7 and only get a new graphics card, maybe also OC the cpu to like 3.6GHz from the stock 2.93.

I use the computer mainly for video/image editing and a little gaming so is a full upgrade really a point? I was also thinking I'm going to have to replace the cpu soon anyway as its 6 years old, thoughts?

I'm getting hard freezing (regardless of OS, both windows and linux) on a Z170 build whenever both RAM slots are occupied. However, if either RAM module is installed singly it's fine.

How do I further diagnose if it's the memory, memory controller or mobo?

It attempts to embed the .vtt sub file downloaded with

Since youtube-dl evidently won't merge a single file into a new container, you'd have to select webm audio with

and let it merge the subs into a webm, or just merge the streams manually into an mkv yourself.

Is burning an ISO to a disc or usb the same as just dragging the files over?

>>56436679
You can send a few things to dropbox. Maybe make dvds. Backup isn't hard but you need somewhere for the files to go. You can buy a small cheap HDD off ebay for like $10-15

>>56436979
hyper-v

>>56437181
No. ISOs have the advantage of being able to include bootloaders.

>>56437181
no

the iso is a filesystem image ("iso" is short for "iso9660", the filesystem CD-ROM uses, though it's also commonly used for UDF filesystems as well, which is what DVD's use)
"dragging the files over" would mean generating a new filesystem with those files, which will/may change things like;
- physical file placement on the disc
- filesystem metadata such as modification dates, labels, etc
- loss of data outside of the filesystem area, such as a bootsector
- loss of any filesystem hacks, such as what are used by various copy-protection systems (like deliberately corrupted sectors)

I use Linux on my laptop, and one of the big things that saves battery life is the frequency governor (conservative, up_threshold is 98, down_threshold is 95).

What's different about ISO from IMG?

>>56437542
The only place where inline assembly is used is the Linux kernel and in programs that utilize special parts of the CPU (AES built in by default, RDRAND, special cases, etc.)

You only need to understand tid-bits of it to work effectively in C or C++
>How switches function as jump tables
>Bitwise operations
>Maximum value that a variable can handle
>etc.
I do programming on the side, and I never had to deal with assembly directly. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to not use assembly unless you have a particular reason to because of cross-compatibility concerns.

>>56437663
nobody uses image filenames properly/uniformly
while "iso" is meant only for iso9660 filesystems, and "img" for arbitrary raw disk images, in practice they're both use for arbitrary raw disk/disc images

Oh, thats the image of the whole SD card. Just burn the IMG in the same way you would burn an ISO to a USB drive (dd on Linux, whatever terrible program on windows)
>>56437794
Tor is insanely slow due to how it works (traffic is relayed across the internet).
All information is decrypted when it comes out the exit node (unless HTTPS is used, which the Tor Browser forces by default), so as long as you are comfortable with someone seeing the information without knowing who it came from, then you are fine.

>>56437800
If you are technical enough, you can send UDP packets over TCP via tunneling

>>56437847
i don't know what ace stream is
tor having high latency is a natural result of it routing traffic through multiple random nodes, each additional node adds latency

>>56437904
no ICMP either, more specifically, tor is TCP-only

>>56437875
>as long as you are comfortable with someone seeing the information without knowing who it came from, then you are fine.

Having a dualboot doesn't stop you from clean installing. Just wipe the windows part and fix your grub or windows bootloader when you're done.

Buying a physical disk because you can't be arsed to go make one yourself is kinda stupid but here's one if it helps

$100 more for +2GB VRAM and SLI.
Isn't this a bit too much?
Do we need 4GB VRAM?

There's a whole lot more difference than just VRAM between those two cards. And I think you mean +1.5GB

go for 470, 460 is weak as fuck, even my r9 270x is stronger

http://hwbench.com/vgas/radeon-rx-470-vs-geforce-gtx-970

it says here that the 970 blows the 470 yet /g/ recommends RX always instead of GTX.
What gives?

>>56440252
The £188 of the 970 is the absolute max of my budget, I should probably say 960 most likely.

besides this problem. after the installation of ubuntu, windows now somehow figured out how to fast boot. really, windows now performs a 5 times better than before. (explain?)

The disks are recognized by Windows, I can connect to them fine and they show up here. They just don't show up in the sidebar for some reason.

>>56440473
Change sheets often and vaccuum your bed and chair, most of the dust is your own shed skin cells and this gets spread in the air when you move around in your bed and/or chair.

I was just wondering if there was a way to filter dust particles out of the air?

>>56440555
You can get a hepa filter. Those are pretty damn effective, but you have to run them round the clock. You could also get an ozone emitter if you don't mind a little cancer. Otherwise your main bet would be installing your fans in the sucking position and sticking filters on them.

Extended warranty plans offered by retailers are pretty much never worth it. You can just as easily RMA something to the manufacturer if there is actually a problem.

>>56440970
well I just RMA'd my Asrock mobo for the first time and it was a huge hassle with a lot of strings attached.

>if anything seems to be accidental and not a defect, i get charged $50 labor fee
>had to pay 12.50 to ship it
>return time was 1 - 2 weeks

For Newegg, in the terms and conditions, it looks as if they'll cover the shipping both ways (already basically $12 value) and accidental as well as manufacture defects, so if it gets damaged while being shipped i don't have to worry about it.

I've used Geek Squad protection before with no problems, I don't believe all warranties are scams. just curious if anyone has used it and there isn't any fine print i'm missing.

>>56441053
No a scam, a poor economic decision. Any insurance has to make more than what it loses in repairs/reimbursements. So the only reason to get any kind of coverage is if the thing you're worried about would cost more than you could afford. Otherwise it's better to risk it. Universal rule.

>>56441053
Main thing I'd check for is some kind of a deductable. I know my mom used to get the "insurance" with her phone and they'd try to charge her $100-200 to fix it if she actually made a claim, at which point she'd have pretty much been better off just getting a new phone.

Can someone tell me some of the differences between dnf and apt that a pleb like me would a care about?

>>56441155
well if an RMA costs 12.50 to ship with the possibility of a $50 service charge from manufacturer, and the newegg protection is 12 - 15, it's really not all that different right? i would assume they make most of their money on people who never actually use it and just get it to be safe.

>>56441163
no deductible, it's stated very clearly in the terms&condit

>>56441411
There's no need to make it complex. It's really simple. Don't get any type of coverage for something you can afford if it breaks, unless you want special technical support/handling and you're willing to pay a premium for it.
