If a custom built PC loads to the windows 7 logo and then bsod, does it mean I need a PSU with more watts?

My MSI Gaming X 480 (supposedly the rx 480 with the best cooler) is sitting a bit high, about 58c with just a few chrome tabs, speccy, and a 20 minute youtube running. In games it rarely pokes over 65c, but what might cause such high idle temps? My air flow is pretty good, and the rest of my components are fairly low temp.

Markdown has a standard extension for it too:

I've been pleasantly surprised by Pelican lately, a static HTML content generator, that uses both Markdown and RestructuredText as input:

My new homepage is entirely static. There's not even JavaScript. It's blazing fast and very secure. I'm expecting a brief traffic surge soon and all I have to move it to a CDN since it is 100% static.

If I really need something dynamic, I will solve it with a minimal API.

It seems so wasteful to execute dynamic code for every simple page view.

I have 1TB on my google Drive and it's mostly empty (only around 100GB is taken)
I'm sharing a folder with someone so he could upload a 30GB file, but when he tries to upload it, he gets a massage that says that there is not enough storage to upload.

Why can't he upload it? is the size of his own drive counted against the file?

I have a 4x4tb raid10 array on my ubuntu server and would like to use more of the storage so I'm guessing either raid0 or spanning. I have a full backup of all this data btw.

I know raid0 is risky with four large drives however simply spanning them in an lvm volume seems a waste speedwise. Wat do? I've thought about raid5 but the write speeds kill it for me.

is there a program or a website that reads a list of urls and check which one is the fastest?

Windows Piracy Charter:

Start

1. Goto MSDN Subscriber Downloads
2. Search whatever Windows you need.
3. When found, copy its exact filename(*.iso) and note the SHA-1 hash
4. Search Google for filename
5. Download the file from one of the links.
6. Match the hash with hash of step 3

Stop.

Basically, get your iso from anywhere, just match its SHA-1 hash to check if it matches on MSDN or not.

I can give you direct iso link if you are there, just tell me the version you need.

Windows 7 Professional connected to the Internet via WiFi.

In safe mode with networking, my ping to www.google.co.uk is a consistent 9-11ms. Booted into Windows normally, it's anywhere from 10-30 ms and spikes up to 800-1200 ms on the tenth ping every time, with 100% consistency.

Reinstall driver?

I am trying to create a windows 10 install USB but my Gigabyte Z170MX gaming 5 doesn't recognize it.

Also another problem is if I change bios options it commonly restarts, shuts off (with a click) and then reboots a few seconds later with a "boot failure detected" screen where I have to reset to optimized defaults.

Are these boot failures harmful? happens commonly when changing things to do with CPU like C1 states or Turbo boost/hyper threading, etc.

...
folder99/
    -> video99.mkv
    -> subtitles99.srt

I want to play every video with subtitles. To that, mpv requires the following format:

mpv \{ folder01/video01.mkv --sub-file=folder01/subtitles.srt \} \{ folder02/video02.mkv --sub-file=folder02/subtitles02.srt \} ... \{ folder99/video99.mkv --sub-file=folder99/subtitles99.srt \}

How can I use zsh's shell expansion to create such format?
I know I could do

 for i in * ; do ; cd "$i" && mpv *.mkv --sub-file=*.srt && cd .. ; done ;

but it doesn't exactly do the same thing.

You can use Calibre to convert pirated epubs or whatever to be sideload on your kindle. If your parents are Jewish and get you the ad supported version just leave it on airplane mode forever, sideload everything, and you won't have ads

>>57866646
I was under the impression that RAID 1 mirrors everything onto two drives. Thus you get not only the benefits of redundancy, but also improved read speeds. How is this inferior to a software backup that does not give you the benefit of reading from two drives at once?

>>57866702
And when you mirror that error on HDD-0? to HDD-1,say you delete something you need? Shit happens in realtime, you dont get a chance to go back.

Raid is not a backup plan,it adds redundancy in most cases(where it actually needs to be utilized).

You dont need raid
Read up for your self or stay ignorant.

Raid is not backup.

>And when you mirror that error on HDD-0? to HDD-1,say you delete something you need?
Sorry, I should have specified the source of my concern. I don't care about that stuff (I'm very careful about what I delete- I don't think I've ever actually deleted something unintentionally). Last year I had an HDD crash and I figured RAID 1's redundancy would prevent that from happening again since as soon as one drive fails, I could replace it with another.

Here's a stupid question.

I was listening to the Roguelike Radio podcast last week and they had a programmer who was notorious for having his game entirely contained in one huge file. He explained that because he was 100% self-taught and never took any computer science courses but rather just used internet tutorials and books... he never learned how to organize his project into multiple files and folders. So he just wrote everything at once.

While nowhere near as autistic as that guy, I also am pretty much 100% self-taught with this programming stuff: internet tutorials and books for the most part. My question is this: where on Earth do I learn about how to organize everything into multiple files and folders and whatnot? Is that something that they only ever teach in University and so it is just presumed that people who buy programming books already know about it? Because it's a huge hole in my self-education about this stuff and I worry that if I ever try to make something then it will end up like that one guy's thing: a few huge files that will get laughed out of an interviewer's office for lack of organizational skills.

>>57866916
to add on to this: when a project that I'm working on starts to get large, it quickly becomes too unwieldy and i start to realize that i don't know how to organize all of these things properly. where do i learn about that stuff?

>>57866109
yes. dropping batteries is not good for their chemistry. ask google.

>>57866536
>the number of programs installed
it has nothing to do with performance. Not even loaded into the memory.
>the quantity of files
depends on the filesystem but in most cases no.

>operating system bloat
It can have performance impact however bloat is such a retarted term im not sure.

Question for all the system administrators: What's the easiest way to make internet browsing impossible for another user? GPOs? Or can I just set a password to Internet Explorer and Edge?

what's the cheapest router i can get that can handle a ton of torrenting and couple of different machines browsing? my little belkin i got for 20 euros now becomes slow whenever i have torrents or otherwise a lot of connections open.

>>57871228
depends on your setup, there's lots of ways/methods

for example, blocking ports 80 and 443 to their machine

"impossible" might not be feasable, unless the network access they should have is well-defined and allows no possibility of proxying through to an arbitrary server

oh, and if you mean internet access in general, not just [web?] browsing, then just block their access to your WAN gateway

Thanks, next time I see a nice sale on a 3+ TB drive I'll make that my offsite backup and leave in my desk at work.

Whats a good ,lightweight and secure Cms or alternative , to make a simple portfolio website?

I need about 3TB of HDD for work-related stuff. Lot of important regularly updated stuff in there though I keep the very most important files updated and the rest I can recreate. But I'd rather not have to.

I'm looking at HDD reviews. Should I pay any attention to a HDD being touted as ultra reliable etc? Or is it still like, if something is really fucking important you should back up it all?

How much more should I be paying for a HDD with a reputation for being reliability? How the fuck do you even test for something like that on a new model, sounds like a bunch of bro science.

how do you convert webms to mp4?

Finally decided to get a new PC since my old one broke more than 10 years ago; want to get it before christmas.
It's supposed to be in use for at least 5 years. Maybe even longer since I usually don't play all the newest crap but want to play the old crap from 2022 or so.
Already have mouse, keyboard and headphones.

Holy Fuck!
Is everything supposed to be this expensive?

I need a laptop that's absolutely no larger than 18 inches and maybe smaller and lighter is better as I'm a travelling man but it has to be powerful enough to render videos and shit like really really good. What do I buy?

If I were to setup a 5.1 system using 3 cheap lepai amps, what would be a good idea to manage the 3 volume sources?

I was thinking on putting the 3 volume knobs halfway and from there manage the volume via windows volume mixer

I have the following

<?php
$date="05122016";
echo date('d M Y', strtotime($date));
?>

and the result is 01 Jan 1970. What am I doing wrong? I tried removing quotes too. I can't figure it out. I want it to say 05 Dec 2016.

This pattern represents Discrete Cosine Transformation. Think of it like breaking down the colors in the 8x8 grid into a set of coefficients that can be used to recreate the original colors through an Inverse Discreet Cosine Transformation.

Put simply, you break the colors down into a set of parameters with DCT and you can leave out some of the parameters before applying IDCT and get back very similar colors.

There's more to it than that, but this should get you started on looking up things on wikipedia and google.

From the image it looks like the basis functions are being layered over one another, but I don't think that's how it works, is it?

So is each tile given a specific basis function? Or does each pixel in each tile have its own basis function?

If you're familiar with mp3, then you're familiar with how FFT works. This is extremely similar, it's just a transform from one domain to another applied to a two dimensional array of 8x8 and some reorganization of the output. It works kind of like Fourier synthesis in that you reassemble the "frequencies" back into the time domain, or rather you reassemble the colorspace to it's 8x8 grid.

There's a really neat application with (I)DCT in MPEG-7 called Color Layout Descriptor for finding similar images in a large group by the way. It's probably an easier example to learn DCT with than in the addition of the rest of the JPEG compression algorithm.

When overclocking a CPU or GPU, what exactly causes a crash to occur? I know it has to do with the quality of the silicon chip for your hardware, but what actually causes the computer to crash when you're pushing up the voltage and/or clock speed on the component?

>>57873108
That brings me to another question--I know plenty of people have done it before. Did they ruin it--is it harder to get away with now because of them?

>>57872993
Hmmm, if you don't know FFT I'm going to have a hard time explaining it in a way that's easy to understand.

There's a good DCT implementation in OpenCV if you want some code to grasp what the algorithm does in code. To understand the math behind it I recommend you look for a good book on Digital Signal Processing (DSP). FFT is going to a chapter in it, and once you understand FFT you're basically going to understand how DCT works since they're very similar in how they work in transforming a signal into another domain and back.

That said, you don't need to understand FFT, to get how DCT works, but it will help.

You probably should have Googled that one.

They definitely don't recharge, at least not enough to be effectively used again. Also, they may heat up somewhat. The chance that they'll actually heat up enough to cause a fire is negligible, but companies tell you not to recharge them just to cover their ass from litigation.

Maybe. First, clean everything thoroughly with canned air. Things like that sometimes happen when there's some grit or something causing a tiny short somewhere.

If that doesn't work, disassemble it and reassemble outside the case, with only the minimal components needed to run. Sometimes you can short it out with the case if it's not installed correctly.

I use the Kobo Aura H2O and have been very happy with it, haven't looked much into the newer models though.

It will read any EPUB natively, and supports some other formats like PDF though they're not ideal. Usually it's easiest to just use Calibre to convert whatever into EPUB if it's not already, this process is fairly lossless for the most part (though converting PDFs into anything else can be a bit of a nightmare so I recommend you don't download them except as a last resort)

Should I assume my mobo is fucked?

Can't turn the PC off because when I try to turn it back on, it runs for 5-30s before something sounding like surge protection kicks in and kills it.
I have to unplug the PSU again and again (waiting several minutes in between tries) until it actually boots, but when it does, it will keep running forever.
Now usually I would assume this is a PSU issue, but it's a 500W Platimax AND I already returned it once because it was doing the SAME THING.
Before, it started all on its own. This time it started when I gutted it to swap system fans. At first I thought I just did something really retarded, but I ended up taking the whole fucking thing apart screw by screw (save from taking the CPU out of its socket) to rule out a short / mobo touching the case / faulty wiring, with zero results.

I'm not sure what the pros/cons are in this instance. Higher clock speed, but slower CAS timings. Which exactly matters more in terms of performance?

I bought an Intel iMac from 2006, Intel Core Duo 2, for around 40$ from a seller with great reviews on ebay. I dick around with it for awhile, all is well, but with so much software unsupported on Snow Leopard I was ready to fuck with Debian.

Installed Debian on it, ran fine, I come back to it today and now the iMac won't properly turn on. The little white light comes on, but the screen remains completely dark, there is no apple chime sound, and nothing I do with the keyboard seems to do anything.

There was a power planned power outage, but somehow I thought that it wouldn't require me to unplug all my electronics because I thought that would just be an issue that wouldn't apply to the power intentionally being shut off. Everything else in this goddamn house works just fine, but now the iMac won't.

I never even got time to really play with it in Debian T_T, the screen looked great, the built in speakers were doing great, it was going to be the ultimate toy to play with Linux on and now it's dead two days after having got it. Fml

Can someone point me in the direction of some (easy to understand) resources relating to booting a computer?

On my desktop machine I'd like to maybe half my SSD with a Windows install and then the other half with a GNU/Linux distro to play around with. I would like to have a half decent looking screen with the choices of each OS to boot with, not just generic GRUB with all your boot options.

When I was playing around with my rMBP and loading distros onto it (dual with macOS) I managed to configure rEFInd to have a nice background and decent icons to choose from. However, it was awhile ago and I forget how to do most of it.

Because I have no idea how the boot partition works, what the fuck EFI/UEFI are, what the fuck MBR/GPT are; I'm scared of fucking something up, rebooting and not having any OS to choose from and being completely fucked. I guess you can always just plug in a live USB and force install GRUB onto the system and it sort of 'just werks' right?

I just want a nice looking dual boot experience!
