How can I make config files persistent on a live usb distro ?

I thought about putting the files in the persistent partition and make symlinks to them. But I'll have to remake all those symlinks after each reboot, right ?

So, do I have to change the iso so it runs a script during boot ?
Or is there an easier way ?

Setting up a Wangblows backup drive. Would there be any reason to use NTFS if I'm just backing up files to it? My understanding was NTFS is only used if you want to install (Windows) programs to it, otherwise exFAT would be ideal for compatibility.

Is there any downside of buying a micro atx motherboard?

I am on a new PC win7 (GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5) and getting clicks or quick pops when a sound starts playing (windows explorer clicks are quite annoying). Once the sound starts playing for more than half a second it sounds fine at least on youtube or in foobar (though both suffer from the same pops or noises when first starting or stopping the audio streaming including seeking).

I don't know if its the audio driver considering win7 default audio was clicking even before I installed the realtek/creative third party ones.

How would I go about narrowing things down or eliminating them? would a dedicated sound card fix this? Would be a shame, sounds great when music is actually playing as long as there is no repetitive quick explorer sounds.

How can I run my CRT monitor on full resolution (1600x1200 pixels) on Windows 7.

I swear I've been looking for an answer. Here's what I'll tried so far:

- Change drivers from generic to generic super VGA
- Use the monitor drivers (Sylvania F96)
- Click 'List not recommended resolutions' (or something like that) and the only listed not supported options are variants of 1080p

And nothing works. AND WHAT'S MORE, this fucking retarded thing that happens from time to time without warning: The monitor changes (or rather, starts up) as 1600x1200, BUT when I go into resolution options the fucking thing changes itself back to 1280x1024 (which is what it recognizes as max). Ha, ha. What the fuck. I swear I'm not crazy, fucking thing sees me taking a look at it and suddenly remembers it has to shit on me as a ritual.

It would be pretty much the same as any other custom water cooling loop, the issue is that the negatives generally outweigh the positives.
If its hot outside then your cooling will be less effective, if its cold outside you run the risk of condensation inside your computer, if its freezing outsize then your radiator will freeze if the pump isn't running.
Also compromising the insulation of your home by running the tubes through some hole offsets any potential reduced need for cooling indoors.

It's not just about silence, it's about improving the efficiency of my air conditioner. Well to be quite honest I'm curious about how far I can take this.

Putting the entire case outside the room would be way too inconvenient. This is not a server. I access it directly and frequently enough to matter.

>>57465396
>If its hot outside then your cooling will be less effective

I suppose. Depending on the season temperature can reach 40 °C.

Assuming there is a graph of ambient temperature and heat exchange efficiency, I suppose I can determine whether that will be a problem with a simple worst-case analysis.

I always choose components that perform well-beyond my actual needs for this reason.

>if its cold outside you run the risk of condensation inside your computer

That can't be good. I need to know under which conditions this can happen.

>if its freezing outsize then your radiator will freeze if the pump isn't running.

I don't live in an environment where it is ever freezing outside.

>Also compromising the insulation of your home by running the tubes through some hole offsets any potential reduced need for cooling indoors.

I don't think my house has any insulation. The air conditioner that was installed already required a pretty impressive amount of pipework so it's not unreasonable to think a bunch of tubes are going to make any difference.

Also I wonder if this liquid cooling equipment is designed to last if exposed to the elements

Condensation occurs when there is enough of a temperature differential and humidity, so if the water coming into your computer is below ambient then it can cool the water block to a temperature where moisture in the air will condense

Alright /g/, I rarely come here but I have a question concerning my build.
A few years back I put together a cheap pc to use for gaming, and I was on a budget so I didn't invest in cooling.
I also didn't buy a graphics card and bought an APU instead.

Now I've had this problem for a while where my PC freezes randomly, no blue screen, or any messages.
It just freezes, even the capslock and numlock lights don't turn on when it's frozen.

I decided to look into it a bit and downloaded speccy, and when I looked at my CPU temperature it said it was at 89-94 Celcius.
Is this bad?

Should I get a cooling system?

If I sign into Windows 10 applications like Xbox or Windows store,
does it sign-in to the individual application (like Steam),
or will it be some sort of global sign-in (associating a windows account with my local account)?

Here's a stupid question: why do people use audio players like mpd+ncmpcpp or Clementine when mpv has playlist function and just werkz. Also can stream from YouTube with --no-video
Is there any particular reason?

>>57468511
mpv has playlist function now ?!?
I've been out of touch

Also so you can play a music from your remote server of course

>>57468548
It's not polished yet but it does serve as playlist when I ctrl click more files and play it with mpv.
Yeah, I didn't think of that, thanks. Also lyrics fetching could also be cause (?)

>>57468561
>Also lyrics fetching could also be cause
Yeah there's also that, and built in visualizer, split view, and more mature playlist management, and don't forget scrobbling and ability to execute script on track change

Is the playlist function documented on mpv wiki?

>>57468584
I have no idea. I'm just a normie user.
Only thing I've done in conf was volume settings.
Just try ctrl+click (or shift) more files and open them with mpv. I haven't tried it via terminal though.

>>57468604
you're right before it will open multiple windows of mpv

I've always been using autoload.lua script all this time
Thanks this is helping

How do I copy subtitles embedded into an mkv to a separate file like srt using ffmpeg?

>>57468604
Also this is worth trying
put :

video-sync=display-resample
interpolation

for jittery-free playback

>>57468629
I'm glad idiot like me can help.
Also what I noticed is when I select multiple video files and click enter (opens with mpv by default) it just plays last selected file, but when you right-click and select open with mpv it plays like playlist.
It doesn't act like that with audio files.

>>57468634
ffmpeg -i file.mkv -map 0:s:0 -c copy file.srt

assuming first subtitle track, and that it's already in srt format

>>57468686
he need to find out which stream is the subtitle file first

>>57468672
It's possibly your file manager. I tried on Thunar and neither works when you open it with enter.

>>57468701
no he doesn't, that's what the 's' in '0:s:0' is for
'0:s:0' always matches the first track of type subtitle in the first input

>>57468717
can confirm this

>>57468717
>>57468672
Also I noticed you can do

mpv *.mkv

and it will play all the files one by one without autoload.lua

Anyone tried 23.8 inch monitors at 1440p on windows, is it usable or is the PPI too high to use and 1440p should only be 27inches and up ?

1440p at 24" is still lower ppi than 4k at 27" which is pretty common

So /spg/ didn't help, so imma ask here need some smartphone advice

So, like the klutz I am, my 2014 moto x fell out of my hoodie pocket and cracked on concrete with some fairly sizable rocks while on campus. Since a replacement screen cost almost as much as a new 2014 moto x, should I just get another, or, since it's kinda dated, is there a phone comparable in size and in-hand feel/software feel to the moto x?

purchasing specs:
>Country
USA
>Carrier
AT&T
(prefer unlocked phone)
>Features
Clean software, decent battery (at least 3hr), good/decent camera, good warranty (oneplus and other chink companies have left friends out in the cold if something internally fails)
>Budget
<$200 (poorfag college lyfe)
>Size
≤5.3"
will only go 5.5" or above if w/ stylus (like a note)

I don't mind buying a phone that's older if the software on it's good or if it's easy enough to put a custom rom on. I'm currently using a note 2 with cyanogenmod as a replacement, but still just isn't as nice as my moto x. 2014 Moto x was just comfy.

Jesus, where the hell did you learn your logic.

A -> B means B is necessary for A, but not sufficient (if A is true then B must be true, but we can't say that if B is true then A must be true).

For instance, suppose B = {a number is even} and A = {a number is divisible by 4}. Clearly A -> B, however 6 for example satisfies B, but does not satisfy A.

In the special case where (B, A -> B) implies A, we denote A <-> B (B is necessary and sufficient for A). This is the same as saying A -> B and B -> A.

It didn't wipe your ssd, your HDD probably had some boot sectors on it too, I had the same problem when switching HDDs. I fixed it by placing the old one back. But since you can't do that, try fixing the PC by booting a windows installation usb/cd and selecting repair instead of install.

If your mountpoints don't change then you dont have to do anything. Sym links dont link inodes but are plain strings, thats why they work across filesystems.

Historical system-version data storage of on-premise databases.

If I had cheap storage like that, I'd be doing a daily change-data-capture of all of my production databases, so I can do point-in-time reporting.

I '''learned''' C before Java and it's really fucking difficult in comparison.

I had no programming background before C though, so it might be easier for you.

Say a table has 5 records in it.

Record #2 gets deleted, and Record #5 gets modified in some way.

If I do

SELECT * FROM myTable

, I'll see 4 records and one of them will be different.

What if I wanted to see how many 'users' or whatever those records are representing, as they existed one month ago?

Well, that's not possible to query, because the record was dropped. There might be a transaction log or a backup, but those aren't kept indefinitely, and they're not immediately queryable.

With something like SQL Server 2016 Temporal Tables, rather than actually delete the record, or modify it, those records are moved to the History table with a date that they became invalid, and a new record is created for the modified value, with a date for when it became the valid value.

Now, I can say

SELECT *
FROM myTable
AS OF '2016-01-01'

and get the state of the table at that time.

This obviously uses more space on disk to keep all of the old information, but can be very valuable to metrics, particularly if the application developers did not design a historical tracking mechanism.

That's...about as dumbed down as I can get it.

I just put my first PC together and it's been working great. But for the past couple days, I'll wake up, turn it on, the fans and leds turn on and everything but nothing comes up on my monitor until like twenty or thirty minutes later. It works perfectly fine after that but I have no idea what could be causing it to take so long.

>>57473241
Not terrible, but you're going to hate it.

C is not a "hard" language, as much as it is TEDIOUS.

Having to keep track of everything yourself is frankly annoying.

What is apt-get? Can any program be installed by apt-get? Who indexes it? Who approves these packages? Im seriously blown away by this. I read a few things in google but didnt quite catch it

>>57473605

Tedious in what ways?

>>57473647
Managing memory is tedious.

Having to worry about implicit assignment of less precise types is tedious.

What are some good gui libraries for c++? I want to make some more robust programs and I'm tired of using the console

If you add a repository then you can apt-get what's on its list
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu

>>57473609

apt is a wrapper around dpkg. Dpkg tracks packages on your system and apt fetches them from repositories.

Your linux distro manages what's in the repositories but you can add custom repos.

I need somewhat of a software suggestion
>Modernizing old CNC machines at work
>Use some hardware that makes CF cards work like IDE drives to replace mechanical drives on said machines
>Use Acronis to make an image of both machines, and slap them onto each of our replacement CF cards
>1 machine worked fine, however the other machine gives errors on startup that's unknown even to the manufacturer
>Machine that didn't work with the re-imaging also happens to be running a custom version of DOS, and I'm guessing Acronis didn't do an exact copy like I was expecting
>Also fucked up when trying different things and restored the image to the HD I took out, which gave the same error (We still have a backup HD for that machine that still works, so we're fine there)
So, anyone have a suggestion for software I can image with that will really do an exact copy and not try to fuck around with stuff?
Or some combo of fucking around with settings that will make it properly image DOS-systems or some shit?

So a host file can be used to block ad domains on one computer, how can apply this across a home network. If I have a server running most of the time can I install some kinda DNS setup and use it's local IP as a DNS to filter ad domains?

>>57473854
That's unethical.

>>57470654
>charge a toothbrush

>>57473890
Why can't a consumer choose to only access domains they want to, it's even more unethical for ad domains to connect and use data on mobile devices.

Hey /g/, I'm shit with computers, but I know some stuff, and apparently my intern thought it would be a good idea to fuck with the bios settings and set a system password. Sticky note he left says the password is "ass", but the keyboard is locked. I've tried putting the USB keyboard into every port and using different keyboards, I tried getting back into system settings but that requires a password.

Surely, you mean ex-intern for pulling dumb shit like that.

Any good graphics cards that support 4K? Don't really plan to game in 4K, but cannot have 30FPS for desktop and video. Prefer < $150. Thanks.

>>57474394
Why do you skimp on the GPU when you have an expensive monitor?
Anyway, RX 470.

>>57474436
Got a good deal on it. Unfortunately, can't find a 470 for less than $170.

>>57474472
RX 460 or GTX 1050 then.

>>57474394
>>57474472
>Prefer <$150

Do you know what "prefer" means?

Is there any noise I can play to make an old guy stop having loud phone calls outside my window?

>>57474526
White noise.

>>57474512
And I prefer to keep looking for one less than $150, unless my only option is a $170 card. Sheesh.

I've got 4 disks, 3x 2TB and 1 3TB. I'll be storing media and backups. I want the media to be backed up as well in case of drive failure/accidental deletion or w/e. What would the best setup be in terms of RAID, number of volumes etc?

>>57474731
RAID is for uptime, not backup. You're always one command away from losing it all. For mass media you didn't make, it's enough to just check the S.M.A.R.T. once a week. I've never seen a drive fail completely without several days notice.

How do I deal with the sadness and worry of having to format my hdd and having to reinstall all my programs and do tweaks again?

Feels like im demolishing a near perfect house I built over the years with my own hands.

>>57475346
You really didn't do much. If you were using GNU/Linux, you could just install, git pull your dotfiles and get on with your day in less time than it takes for Windows 7 to only check for updates.

>>57475382
I am using W7 though. Thats the problem

And I cant even let the updates run in the background overnight lest I wake up to fucking W10.

>>57475496
Only install the security updates.
All of the Windows 10 bs is in the "recommended" update section, so you can go through each and read the description before installing it.

I'm trying to figure out the most cost effective way to set up my home network. I need a NAS, a Plex media server (those two can be on the same box) and I want to use pfSense for my router. Would it be possible to do all of this from one box?

>>57475601
I see, thanks.

Speaking of which, does /g/ have a list of handpicked updates no install/not install or something of the sort other than the w10 update list? Or are service packs and NET updates the only important updates to actively look for along with other security updates?

>>57475496
Do you even need Windows?
