Can I make a partition on my external hard drive and install from it?

>>56603776
theoretically yes, but its a bad idea. grab a 5 dollar drive on amazon.

>>56603792
I know of all the means of obtaining a thumb drive, anon
Can you please tell me how to install from the hard drive?

Let's say I want to watch live TV on my computer: how can I do so for as little as possible. I'm not talking about on demand like Netflix/Hulu, but live TV. Only channels I want are HGTV and a few sports channels. Is there a service for this?

I'm not really super savvy when it comes to hardware relative to one another, so I need some tips.
I'm currently running a 750TI and Athlon 760k...
I want to step up my gaymen a bit, so I was thinking of buying a 1060 6gb. However, I've read that even with some higher end intel CPUs, you get quite heavy bottlenecking.
So, using what I have, how bad would it be? Also, what would be the closest upgrade I should strive for without breaking the bank?

how well does Quadro handles video editing? i mean should i choose a workstation with Quadro or a thinkpad with GTX for video editing?

>>56604098
then you're fucked. you cant DD a disk to a partition and rewrite MBR/GPT
>>56604105
get a workstation with a GTX. quadro really excels at CAD and not much else.

that said, if you want to do actual editing get a macbook- thats what is used more and more in a professional capacity- to the point that box office films are entirely edited in final cut.

>>56604123

Maybe because you're downloading shitty MP3 albums that aren't official releases but a patchwork of songs from different albums?

Your album has two track 4's, two track 6's, and track 10 and 11 are not on the album "Highway 61 Revisited".

Your BIOS is reading it as USB-FDD, you need it to read it as USB-HDD. Or you're a retard trying to write a non-bootable image.

Does it make sense to encrypt the entire / partition?

How do I connect to the DHCP server on my single-board computer? I'm pretty tech illiterate and I've only been following the directions on this site.

Do I need to download some sort of utility? I inputted the IP address into Putty but couldn't get any sort of connection.

Do you guys think my PSU is failing?

>>56604153
Just because you say I can't doesn't mean I actually can't. I'm asking someone else now.

(in reality, I read it as can because you forgot the apostrophe)

>>56604942
>single short beep
check the manual that came with your mobo for what this means

>>56603854
Use the same process as making a USB thumb drive. should work fine with a usb hard drive.

>>56603890
>Athlon 760k
The 750 Ti is probably already bottlenecked with your shit CPU but, eh, give it a shot. Worst case it's not like your 1060 isn't going to work with a new board/CPU.

>>56603930
Fuck you.

>>56604025
Yes, just as with any service. Do your research.

>>56604105
Quadro is just about drivers, really. Usually GTX will be fine, but check with the vendor of the video editing software you plan to use. Some vendors require or recommend Quadro.

Are you asking about a laptop vs a desktop? If so, you will get much better price/performance and upgradeability on the desktop obviously. Generally desktop GPUs aren't directly comparable to mobile GPUs. Desktop is always significantly better.

>>56604168
Some USB flash drives can't be made bootable, if I recall correctly. Something something floppy emulation, something something boot flag, I don't remember the specifics.

Sounds like they expect you to connect your PC directly to it with a crossover cable and let your PC request an IP address from the beaglebone's DHCP server. Once you've done that, you should be able to connect via SSH from your PC to your beaglebone.

>>56604942
Could be PSU. Could be failing capacitors on the motherboard - likely if the board is more than 3-4 years old.

>>56605076

I plugged an Ethernet cable into the single board computer and the PC no longer recognizes it if the MicroSD containing the memory is plugged in. If I remove the MicroSD and reboot the SCB, the SCB works normally.

If I go to the command line (I'm using Windows 7) and type in

> ipconfig /all

It says "DHCP Enabled" under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection. I honestly don't know what's going on.

>>56604942 Make sure all your motherboard screws are in, it seems like there is an issue with earthing. Check to make sure no metal is touching the case, no stray metal anywhere in the case, you should be okay after that.

>>56605255

I'm trying my best to give you the relevant information. That's hard to do when I know so little about this that I don't even know what's "relevant."

Here's the direct question then:

How do I connect to the DHCP server on the SCB? Explain that in plain English then.

My laptop dual boots to Ubuntu and Windows 10, but I want to reinstall a different linux distro over Ubuntu. I've been told to format the Ubuntu partition, but do I also format the linux-swap partition and /boot/efi?

Also, can I move unallocated space? Options to move it are grayed out.

Any tips before I reset my bank account back to negative numbers?

>>56605297
okay. you need either a crossover cable or a network switch.

If you have a crossover cable, connect it directly to the beaglebone and the PC. Make sure the PC is connected to no other networks, no wireless networks, no other network cables.

make sure the light on your network card comes on then:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Similar with switch, disconnect everything from the switch except the beaglebone and the pc. You don't need a crossover cable in this instance, just connect the pc and beaglebone to the switch with standard ethernet cables. Make sure the lights on the switch come on for the connected ports.

then
ipconfig /release
and
ipconfig /renew

>>56605312
50/50 that you delete your Windows partition. Make sure you have a backup lol.

>>56605337

I'll try that, thank you. I'm sorry if I came across as confusing or impatient. It's just a bit frustrating for me to figure this out.

>>56605349
I have my partitions labeled and if I delete Windows 10 I wouldn't feel too bad. I already have data backed up to a different partition, to an external hard drive, and to another laptop.

>>56605384
okay, well swap partitions is pretty irrelevant. you can run with no swap or reconfigure it after your distro is installed. as for /boot/efi... that's some fucking black magic. Give it a shot and if it breaks something, restore from backup and try again.

I don't know why you would switch from Ubuntu - it's easily the best desktop distro.

>>56605331
Prostitution is a pretty alright method.

>>56605415
I had Ubuntu for a while to fuck with, but I am paranoid my fuck ups with it might disrupt security since I pretty much played with the terminal, downloading things I don't really remember. I figure it's for the better and I am considering staying with Ubuntu or going with Debian.

buy a better router or install a custom firmware on your current one like dd-wrt. look up guides on how to enable stricter firewall settings. encrypt your wifi, add a mac filter, and optionally set the SSID to not broadcast (now timmy's iphone full of tracking apps on the street can't even see your network). firewall may interfere with game consoles and other IoT shit (throw away your IoT shit)

So I'm looking at Amazon's Fire HD 8 and I was wondering if it was worth the purchase. I know amazon's OS is fucking garbage so I figured I could just root the thing, however, from what I've read nobody knows how to root the new models yet. Is it still worth the purchase?

>>56606573
General media consumption. I was planning on setting up a media server and streaming content from there. I've tried a family member's $50(?) tablet and didn't like Amazon OS. I guess I could figure out how to make copies of APKs though my phone if I ever want to install something that isn't available on their app store, but having direct access would be faster in the long run.

>>56606431

>>56606369
FUCKING THIS

I have no idea but it's my primary email jesus christ I've been monitoring the server downage for HOURS I'm losing my mind

>>56606431
Because the files aren't encrypted. When a drive is 'mounted' it means the OS has access to the filesystem on the drive-- meaning it knows the filetree and all the links. It would not be mounted if the OS could not have access to it. But to mount the drive you obviously need the key, so it is still useful. Just encrypt individual files if ur worried, open them in a separate, clean VM/sandbox.

well let's compare to a steam game that needs to be decrypted to install and play. It takes a while, but mounting an existing virtual drive takes a few seconds for 100s of GBs and then it's ready. Is this a completely different implementation, or is it more that the encrypted steam files have to be copied to another location on disk (just a guess)?

You have the same normal post cooldown as you do using captchas. You cannot make two posts from different IPs using the same pass within 30 minutes of each other. Your proxy farm idea will need separate pass accounts for each "poster."

Add a 212 Evo if you're really worried about cooling. If you want a WD HDD still, just get a green drive for storage and not blue. Add whatever monitor/keyboard/mouse/speaker you want, I suppose. I didn't fill them in because I wasn't sure if you $1300 price was a hard limit or not.

So I'm upgrading my pc but keeping the same ssd that I had installed a copy of windows 7 onto which I then upgraded to windows 10. I know that you can't just plop it into my new case and have it work that would be to easy and Linux-like. My question is how should I go about getting Wangblows 10 onto my new hardware? From my understanding windows ties itself to your current hardware so would I need to delete drivers? Run slmgr.vbs /upk? If I run the prompt do I run it on my current pc, put the ssd in my new pc and it will boot up into the windows 10 instalation? Halp /gee/

You're right about overclocking, I don't really intend to. I knew I was forgetting something about the monitor too. I'll just save some extra $300 for the monitor and the 1070.
And the 1300 is kinda a hard limit. Gotta wait 4 more months before I can add $500 more. Or perhaps wait until Christmas and use my good boy points for a monitor.

Just one question. If I start buying the components now with what I have saved, is there a risk of them getting damaged due to lack of use?

>>56608677
You could just buy everything but the GPU right now and use the onboard video to use the computer and play some light games if you wanted.

The parts won't get ruined from just sitting around. What do you think they do in the warehouses? Just make sure you can find a way to test the parts you get in case they are dead-on-arrival. RMA'ing them the week you buy them would probably be better than a few months down the road depending on where you buy the parts from.

How secure are saved passwords on Firefox, assuming (for sake of question) that physical access to my computer is impossible for others?

They're saved in plaintext.

Well shit.

I'm trying to find a workaround for the whole convenience/security trade-off. There are webites I use daily, and would rather not let them be compromised. Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid, but fuck it; it's fun.

If physical access is impossible, would it be quite secure to create an AHK script to launch a link to the website, get my username and password from an offline database, and input it into the website, therefore automating the login without storing the login details in the browser.

Is there something obvious I'm not seeing?

So, I am new to this programming thing and I decide to start out learning ruby because seems reasonably coherent and tidy to me.

I start reading "Ruby: Pragmatic programmer" (I think people reffer to it as pickaxe book) and so far everything was going smothly

But when I started reading the whole list of functions and methods all seem so overwhelming.

So my question is: What should I do to start memorizing/getting use to to all this functions?

I am used to using anki to get my med studies done , so I tough it would be also helpfull to use it to memorize the important functions and stuff

License-wise you'll probably have trouble, but you can try and claim you're just replacing a broken motherboard. That's more likely to work if the original pc was custom bult, rather than manufacturer OEM. Really the best way to make sure windows is running ideally is to clean install, especially if you didn't do that after upgrading to 7. But it's possible the drive will just work in the new computer. It's more likely to work if you use a paid tool like Acronis or run a windows sysprep.

>>56609289
They usually make accommodations for a motherboard replacement. You may be able to avoid calling them by using the activation troubleshooter they introduced in the anniversary update

Just bloatware basically. Does things the system already does. I doubt it's hurting anything though. If you really like ES, look into the $3 version that lets you disable the scanners and shit.

What do you think the 3ds is?

How do you even get started on something like that, then? Was there a guide you followed?

I've got a GTX 1080, 960, Radeon 6970, and a 9600GTX that I could have running 24/7 starting right now.

Hello everybody.
I was stupid enough to buy a Beaglebone Black instead of a Raspberry Pi as a normal person.
I cannot make HDMI work in any way, I thought it was just about plugging it in the board and then into the monitor, but no.

So, how?

What's the best and yet cheapest Pi/Pi-clone that I can use for torrenting? Power isn't an issue since my Laptop and Desktop are my preferred emulator machines, so i literally need something that won't shit the bed as a mostly-on torrent device.

Then unless you live some place with free healthcare the costs of the lung cancer treatment will more than offset any profit.

It should be that simple assuming you flashed the sd card correctly

Do most people use bracket/quote auto completion? I see it's on by default on sublime, but it seems fucking retarded to have to use arrows when you want to type something after the autocompleted quote/bracket.

I have a 5 year old Macbook Pro and I want to replace it with a new laptop, but does cheapo laptops today outperform a 5 year old machine? More specifically, is a modern i3 processor better than a 5 year old i5?

I'm looking at all these laptops that have decent specs and cost like $200 or $300, and what's the catch? I can live with shitty build quality as long as it doesn't shit the bed on me.

A skylake mobile i3 is about the same as an ivy bridge mobile i5, depending on the specific model you're comparing.

cyanogenmod roms are pre-rooted, so if you want to go back to stock then get your stock rom by sammobile and flash it by odin.

You will need the exact model name of your phone though, like SM-P607V

>>56612033
check thermal paste, make sure you have not cleaned it too

>>56614161
Apple refuse to actually show what CPU models are in their computers but it seems that I have a I5-2435M in mine. A new i3 should be better but not by all that much according to the benchmarks I'm looking at. Might as well go for an i5.

>>56614101
I tried it but could never get used to it, so I switched it off.

I wanna get into javascript. Have a bit more than basic knowledge of computers, actually went to school for that shit, but never picked it up afterwards. I know all the tutorials and w3schools, any other good suggestions where to look?

>>56614080
I installed debian 8.5 correctly, but HDMI doesn't work "on-the-fly" like with other HDMI devices I have.
>>56614190
No, no audio no video.

>>56613707
You could do that with a tiny script and a cron job.

Why don't scroll wheels work on my pc? I built it myself, it has windows 7 without updates, I might have gotten service pack 1, I don't know. RANDOM shit seems to just not werk.

PLEASE take a moment to learn how encryption works, and how it is implemented within your system.

My 20tb luks encrypted raid array takes about 5 seconds to mount. About 50gb of that is native steam games.

Having your encrypted data available unlocked ALL THE TIME, is not encryption, but a thin veil that you think is security

any display nerds on

i got a generic old 1280x1024 lcd/tn/whatever display with a 75hz refresh rate

if i run it at 1280x720 or less with black bars, does the refresh rate get a "boost" since there are fewer pixels to update? or does it have to refresh the unused pixels too

>>56614896
I meant encrypted steam games that you download before the game is released. When it is, your client receives the key, and it takes several minutes before it can install and then launch the game.

Also, you didn't answer the question. If it's so simple, why not just answer it?

>internet keeps going down

What steps do I take to diagnose and fix this?

My ISP has never had issues before so I'm doubtful that it's that

>>56614956
With LCDs, sometimes, yeah. That tradeoff function is more common with CRTs though. Anyway, just go into CCC or whatever you have and try a few settings, your video card normally will communicate with the display to see what settings are possible. You can also probably look up the model number to find a manual to see what refresh modes are available.

>>56614472
Don't know if you read this

http://www.raspberry-pi-geek.com/Archive/2013/02/HDMI-and-the-BeagleBone-Black-Multimedia-Environment

it might help.

I was going to go through it and interpret it for you but I have class. Srry bb

>>56614968
I ave answered it multiple times, and this retard cannot understand basic shit.

Nothing correlates to having to recive an auth key(lets say 5kb max) to having to mount encrypted volumes ALL THE TIME.
What is the point of encrypting it if it is available on boot? You are giving up your key in to ram ON BOOT, you allow anything access to your mounted devices

>>56614994
Download winrmtr/mtr and let it run for an hour to google.

>>56614956
lowering the resolution might make higher refresh rates possible, depending on the monitor

Is there any firefox addon or something else that would let me listen to music from youtube without displaying videos?

>>56613707

I was bored, here's a shitty script

#!/bin/sh
touch oldhosts.log
sudo nmap -v -sn 192.168.0.1/24 | grep -v "down" | grep "scan report" | awk '{ print $5 }' > newhosts.log
DIFF=$(diff oldhosts.log newhosts.log)
if [ $DIFF ]; then
    notify-send -u critical "New connection detected:" $(echo $DIFF | awk '{ print $3 }')
fi
mv newhosts.log oldhosts.log

>>56615030

[spoiler]ill just post it here right[/spoiler]

Still haven't answered the question (probably don't know the answer) and now just mentioning unrelated facts and namecalling

>how do i permanetly have an encrypted volume be mounted automatically on boot
>>why would you want to do this, there is no point in encrypting it, if it is alway accessable
>inhoerant excuses for not using encryption properly
>>Just use encryption properly
>>you're wrong, even though i have no clue what i am doing, and i asked for help, i will deny everything you say, and forbid any help with my question
There is nothing to do, you refuse to accept common knowledge

Why doesn't RMS come and shitpost here? You'd think he would.

>>56606431
>>56615166
To answer your original question: symmetric encryption is pretty fucking fast, and your drive is likely slower than your CPU decrypts data. So you can decrypt all the data you read (and encrypt every time you write) with negligible overhead.

>>56604302
That is one fuck ugly
kid

>>56614666
also, when I updated USB drivers for my computer, USBS stopped working entirely, except in the bios

Trying to install Windows from a flash drive but I can't do the install properly because my computer keeps booting to an old busted version of ubuntu. Is there a way I can shred/wipe my harddrive from the GNU Grub command line so I can cleanly install windows? There's nothing on the computer I need to save.

Didnt want to start a new thread. Can anyone tell me what kind of connection pic relates is?

>>56615469
You have a ~74% package loss.
This is something with your ISP.
I hope you are free next friday between 9am and 6pm

>>56615217
Too many inane comments.

>>56615505
Why can't I ping google yet I can go on 4chan? I really know nothing about networking.

>>56615522
ping uses ICMP, accessing 4chan only needs TCP

>>56615537
So? They both use IP, the network shouldn't concern itself with the transport layer.

>>56615537
So everything else including games and streaming videos can work perfectly and not lag at all and be fine and it's still my ISP despite being 74% packet loss and the only actual issue is that it drops for 3-10 minutes every 30 minutes?

>>56615500

Update windows:

Then check if there's any specific driver/software package for your mouse. What mobo do you have and what USB drivers did you try to install?

>>56615371
You should be able to change your boot order. Are you able to get into bios?

>>56615579
Everything that uses a TCP connection can handle packet loss unless it's 100%, it will just be considerably slower because lost packets have to timeout and be resent. Any application that uses UDP (like many online games) is gonna lag like shit.

>>56615870
But it wasn't lagging.. nothing is lagging,

MSATA.

Why do you need this? Couldn't you just use youtube-dl to download the sound?

>>56616057
i want to listen to music in work but dont want to flash others any album covers/music videos

>>56616057
Is there an easy way to use youtube-dl without a command line? When I install youtube-dlg and try to download something, it just instantly says download complete and there's nothing.

>>56610678
Someone?

>>56616107
That's some weapons grade autism right there, but whatever, do your thing.

>>56616126
No idea, I always use the command line.

>>56616193
ok nvm i know how to do this now

>>56616193
Does youtube-dl ever have down time where it's not compatible with youtube changes, or are there certain videos it can't download?

>>56614194
No it does not
I don't get it

>Are you really recommending a green drive?
How are they not used for storage of shit like pictures and videos? They used to be recommended years ago. Like I said, I'd personally wouldn't get any Western Digital HDD for a home desktop. They have the highest failure rates now.
