You forgot the last /. Time to make another thread I guess.

I have 2 Rails applications that are being each tested separetely, using Rspec.

Now I'm developing a functionality on App2 that should change App1's DB, how am I supposed to test this?
App2 is creating a worker on Sidekiq that does this job on background, and I lose all ties to the worker.

I suppose I would need to keep App1 open while testing App2. It doesn't matter to me, but it feels clunky and wrong.

Maybe I should just check format of the sent requests to App1 on App2.
And the format of the received requests on App1. Would still need to catch these requests made by the Sidekiq worker somehow. Also, the worker can take up to 30 seconds to start running...

I need a /g/ approved antivirus

I usually use MBAM and Avast, anything I need to know about them that google searches won't tell me, such as scummy tricks or hogging memory?
I'm always really paranoid about my internet condoms and think they might let shit slip through, especially with all these autoexec javascript porn ads Hiro's sticking on the site.
uBlock should keep me safe for the most part but I'm still paranoid.

Ok, what should I be looking for? What should be standing out?

Strange problems with microphone.

All of the sudden when i'm in TS there's something like a 'switch' sound, following long periods of static. Everybody is complaining, of course.

As my Headset was old and began to have a loose cable i thought it might be the cause, so i've ordered a new one.
Didn't solve the problem. I switched between rear/front mic in, didn't work either.
Later i found out that my soundcard has a shared "hybrid" line-in/mic-in slot. So i switched to that with the thought that on-board must be the culprict.
I still have the same exact problem.
I tried the following without success:
>change wall cord
>plug in pc direct, instead of a splitter
>dusted it out
>changed between on-board front/rear and soundcard
>windows recording devices settings (15%, +30 mic boost/100%, 0 mic boost, etc)
>realtek hd audio settings in every combination possible
>installed drivers instead of win7 default
>reinstalled drivers
>reinstalled the OS
>checked for malware
>bought a new headset for 60€

I'm running out on ideas what to do. This is annoying for the others, but even more so for me as i have no clue how to fix this shit.
It started about a month or so ago.

I want to network map two of my remote servers to drive letters natively in windows. The issue is that I only use keys to authenticate (with passwords on top of it), which causes an auth failure in the in-built mapping wizard. The third party program I found, FTPDrive, doesn't support key based auth and everything else looks like trialware with similar limitations.


Is there a piece of software /for Windows/ that will allow me to do this?

>>58106476
Did you try your hardware on another VoIP client such as one that is free as in freedom like mumble? Try capturing all input sound/all sound and play it back as well. Failing success on either of those, you should buy a cheap clip on mic and see if that produces the same result.

Or it could just be that TS is proprietary garbage. :^)

>>58106362
if you are that paranoid just install linux, 100% secure
unplug ethernet cable when booting to windows

>>58106592
recorded it with that crappy win recorder.
It's audible, albeit not as loud becaise the "automatic voice normalization" option in TS is giving it a boost.
If my installs wouldn't have been compromised by some malware infecting my phone, tablet, both win and Linux preventing secure ssl connections i's switch immidietly, but as of now i'm too fucking lazy to spend half a day installing and configuring Linux again. Don't misunderstand me here, i love ALSA, but i'm too lazy to go through evetythong and end up having the same issue over there as well.
Also eouldn't have a problem with WoW, but GTA5 is unplayable on Linux.

So, I was browsing the web when suddenly my wifi stopped working,tried to load the kernel module and reinstall the drivers but nothing worked, cheked the output of lspci and my wifi device wasn't there, am I fucked? not even other bootable installation media recognize my wifi anymore, is it Arch fault somehow? generic hardware failure? what are my options?

Im looking for a program that plays music, finds music on the computer, uses existing folders as playlists, lets me create playlists, and can can be stored on a hard drive and used across multiple computers.

Here's the static if anyone wants to analyze it or smth. No Mic Boost, 3.5mm on Sound Card. You have to tune the volume up by quite a bit to get even near the level it is on TS.

Just installed windows 10 om my parent's computer and holly shit I'm impressed, it's really snappy even though the computer "only" has a Core2Quad and a 5400rpm HDD.
Now I want them to use edge with an ad blocker, what does /g/ recommend? I use uMatrix but obviously can't install that in their browser. I made a quick search and uBlock doesn't seem available. Should I install the ol' Adblock Plus or is there something better for Edge?

>>58106540
Doesn't windows natively support Samba (and NFS on Win10)?

>>58106650
If it isn't detected when using lspci it's probably hardware failure.

I've never used Samba, or really any Windows <-> Linux middleman software. Will it support a native, fully interactive mount in Windows that only allows for an SSH key based auth scheme? The idea was to not work against my hardening of the auth scheme/access control, and just mount the sftp endpoint natively (like you can in a sane OS).

Honestly don't even know why I want this anymore, it's mainly the principle of the matter now.

>>58106425
You can run a tracker program. Google to find. Free or trial version is enough for you.

Have to say, I've had this problem myself. If you're using wifi, it's probably the same. Old cards or borked drivers tend to suspend your current connection to look for available wifi connections. If it happens every 10-20 seconds like clockwork, that's your issue. There are workarounds, but the easiest is just to use an ethernet cable when gaming.

>>58106971

It's not the router cause I'm plugged directly into the modem, but I'll look into these tracker programs when I get back from work, thanks.

>>58106990
Ah. Then it's more complex. Check out pingplotter, they also have a tutorial/guide on how to use and interpret the software.

Is it possible for malware to run on multiple CPU instruction sets? E.g., infect x86 and ARM systems? Are there any known cases of malware on a phone (iOS, Android,etc.) "spreading" to a PC (Windows, OSX, Linux, etc.)?

>>58107057
On a firmware level use, maybe.
Software level yes.
Hardware doubt it.

Right, but the question was about malware spreading between CPU architectures and/or OSes. For example, iPhone (ARM) malware spreading to Windows/OSX/Linux (x86).

I've been having trouble finding information about this. I'm trying to use a 65" UHD tv as a second monitor, however when I play videos on it using MPC, usually during motion heavy segments the there's a bit of screen tear. It only last for like half a second, but it looks like a delay where the video player has to catch up. I have a 980 so it should be able to handle smoothly playing video on a tv like this. Is the problem that it's not the main display or the video player?

RAM is so damn fast that almost every other component in your PC is more likely to bottleneck it, especially while doing those.

To elaborate on this issue, I'm running Avidemux on my machine but it looks like pic related. Everything's far too small on the HiDPI screen and it's unusable

I've tried disabling scaling but that doesn't seem to work, changing the res didn't either.

However, what I did find is if I changed the res from 3200x1800 (my current res) to something lower like 1600x900 and then rebooted and launched the program, it looked good, though everything else looks shit.

Obviously this is less than ideal, but it made me think, if I can trick Avidemux into thinking I'm running at 1600x900, but really I'm running on normal res (3200x1800), shouldn't I get the best of both worlds? So is it possible to just make a program think my resolution is different?

>>58108726
Mate, it doesn't care about the name. It isn't sending and receiving data from "128 GB waifu collection", it's sending and receiving data from "/dev/sdc1/" or on windows, "E:\". The name is just put into some config file on the drive itself, and it's only read when it wants to display the name to you.

It's an i7, I think 4970 or something, can't remember the model number. GTX 970.

I understand the RAM doesn't do any serious deadlifting, but the main problem is that the RAM I'm using now is over 5 years old. I just need a fresh model set with better latency because I keep having memory leaks. I'm under the impression that RAM will be more useful if I have more space than I had before for intensive applications. Even if it's not a huge improvement, it'll be a much better result than what I have right now. Besides, I'd like to try making a virtual RAMdisk out of some of the space if it's not entirely necessary.

My internet has been up and down a ton, and the jitter in my ping makes any kind of online game unplayable. It's not my PC or any of my other devices- so it has to be my router or line.
I'll get random internet outages for around 30 seconds every 10 minutes or so, with shorter outages constantly. Wot do?

After always being able to find stuff, Windows Search is suddenly being picky and I have no idea why. Despite certain .pdf files being in a folder, when I punch in the name it claims there are no results. Yet it can find specifc .gif files just fine, as well as folders. Strangely, it can find one .png but ignores another. Filename isn't an issue as they're basically sentence, phrases and all.

Google is no help. The folder where the majority of my stuff is is already indexed and restarting changed nothing. I only ever use Windows Search when I want to find something in the clutter so God knows when this happened. Anyone have any solutions?

tl;dr Windows Search is acting up for seemingly no reason and it needs to be fixed ASAP.

I use wifi, and there's no way I can use cabled based on the lack of ports in my house save for the one the router/modem is plugged into. All of my devices suffer these issues. Pic related is one of my ping tests.

don't pour on it, use wet cotton swabs, you'll need tons.
You can fuck it up if it pours under it AND you turn it on, thankfully alcohol evaporates quickly even at room temperature, just let it dry in a non-humid place for a while after cleaning, then apply new paste.

Ye, try to complain to your ISP a bit, if all your devices go out it's their fault.
either that or your family enjoys putting faraday cages around the router from time to time to piss you off.
I guess it could be faulty wifi, but if your ISP provided you with it it's still their responsibility.

If your PC can't even read it/recognize it as a drive it's physically broken, basically 0 chance of repair, especially at a price lower than a new HDD.

You can hide all icons on the desktop but not some of them only.
Best you can do is disable align to grid and stack the shit icons in a corner on top of one another.
You can also attach a second monitor, move the icons to it and turn the monitor off but that would be just silly

I'm adding a few wireless APs for a friend in an office building.
The locations chosen all have ethernet sockets connected to a switch in a wiring cabinet.
Problem is there are two dozen cables run into said switch, all unlabelled.

Either your router is bad or someone is fucking you wireless by accident via same wireless channel or on purpose which I'm told is possible. If would just get a new router. Of your router is actually a modem, get a different brand from the isp if they offer it.

How does one change the text color of the labels of items in the Firefox menu through the userChrome.css file? Specifically the History submenu (pic related).
Context: I installed the Arc Dark theme for Firefox and saw that the font color for bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar hasn't changed i.e. my bookmarks were just black text on a dark background. After some mild research, I added the following to my userChrome.css file:

.toolbarbutton-text {
color: white !important;
}

However, this apparently also changed the text color for recent history items in the Firefox menu because DOM Inspector reports that they are also considered toolbarbutton, just like bookmarks, and since the theme didn't apply to the menu, I now have white text on light background in the History submenu. Essentially, how can I change the text color of everything in, as it were, PanelUI-HistoryItems? And optionally, the same but for zoom-reset-button and PanelUI-customize in the parent menu?

How do I do this?

ALLOW TCP/UDP IN/OUT to 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220 on Port 53

That specifically. I have an older router so it says block services instead of firewall, but I can't seem to find how to do the top thing. I'm able to BLOCK TCP/UDP IN/OUT all IP addresses on Port 53, but it blocks internet access for all computers. Says DNS error and then says no internet.

Does anyone here use a UPS / PSU backup? What model do you use, how has it been for you? I've been having power surges lately and I know nothing about electrical outlets, so I'm looking to get something reliable that can keep my PC alive before a potential blackout.

My friend runs a business from his computer where he needs to keep upwards of 100 tabs open in Chrome and he uses Virtual Ping to auto-refresh them constantly. He wants to know what he can do to improve his computer's speed/performance since the refresh rate when he has that many tabs open is ~5 seconds.

I wasn't really sure but I was thinking maybe more ram?

Did firefox break something in an semi recent(couple months) update? I get a long loading time when switching between tabs where it's white with a loading icon. It didn't use to do this and I only use greasemonkey with some linkify and 4chanx scripts along with noscript and abp. If I start in clean mode it doesn't have that problem but I don't know which thing is causing the problem and I really do need most of them

>>58110428
RAM is about the only thing that can help. Assuming he has 4 or more cores on his processor. I've seen single core processors barely handle a few tabs.

>>58110382
I think it depends on who you purchased it from. If you bought it online, look at the website's return policies. That's where I'd start, but if that doesn't work you can try contacting the manufacturing company directly.

>>58110460
Yeah he has a new i5. I wasn't sure if an i7 would actually improve his performance for this kind of thing.

how bad is Tacens for PSU in a scale of 0 to 10 ?
>>58110483
apparently the refund time expired march of this year, but theres an option to do the "warranty" anyway, wich i assume will give me another crappy Tacens of the same model.

iPad Pro is a tad large, so it depends if you want to be able to take it with you easily. Also depends if you are in the Apple ecosystem or not. iPad Pro is amazingly good tablet if you are already in Apple ecosystem and you don't mind using it on a solid surface especially if you get the pen.

But if you aren't in the ecosystem (e.g. you don't have iPhone and/or Mac) you probably won't get most out of it and you could be better off with a android tablet.

Computers are digital devices, which means a computer engineering course will be focused on digital electronics, then leading to digital logic all the way up to operating systems and high level programming. It will be an all-around experience regarding computing devices with particular emphasis on computers.
Electrical engineering on the other hand is more focused on the hardware aspects of electronics, i.e. you start with a solid background on the physical properties of electrical and electronic devices and work your way through the design and manufacturing of both digital and analog circuits, with some general programming course. That is if you don't go for the field of electrotechnics, which is instead more focused on electrical energy management and high power systems.

An expanding field is that of embedded systems, which makes use of knowledge from both electronics and computer engineering. Embedded systems design requires knowledge of both domains in order to implement dedicated hardware and software to control a well-known physical system

Make sure to disable all tracking/ads options if you stick to Windows 10. Consider that some monitoring stuff may be hidden (i.e. no option to disable it), but, on the other hand, some hidden monitoring may also happen on Windows 7.

GPUs can handler higher temperatures, have more area to work with and are sort of expected to become loud.

I bought an SSD from a well-known company with a very good reputation and this SSD has great reviews and tests online. Threw it into my machine as boot and used a platter as data. That computer was powered off for several months and stored in a room while I worked around the country. That room never got too hot or too cold, and wasn't too humid either. I can guarantee the computer was never moved or disturbed because there were only 2 people with a key to that room which was me and my dad who was deployed the entire time.

So I get home, get my computer out and see it up. It doesn't boot. It powers on, everything spins, but I get a boot error.

I load a bootable toolkit to look at the drive and the partitions are completely gone. No recovery software can find any trace that there was ever anything on this drive.

Anything important was on the platter drive which still works fine. I was able to pull data.

SMART on both drives doesn't indicate any problems whatsoever.

I decided to see if I could reinstall windows on it, and it installs just fine. I wipe, install something else, it works fine. It's been almost 2 weeks since a reinstall and the drive works and hasn't cleared out my data...

...what happened, /g/? Shitty manufacturing? Shitty drive? Install Gentoo?

>>58112812
what the instances mean, does it mean it can be only accessed by 3 people at one time or what? on the official site it says this: The MaxSpareServers directive sets the desired maximum number of idle child server processes. An idle process is one which is not handling a request. If there are more than MaxSpareServers idle, then the parent process will kill off the excess processes.

but thats way too complicated for my tiny brain to comprehend

httpd in prefork mode immediately activates a number of child servers equal to StartServers.
These servers take care of one incoming request each.
You cannot have more than MaxClients child servers active at the same time. Between these, the number of spare servers (i.e. idling servers, i.e. servers waiting to serve a connection) is always kept between MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers.
The father process' responsibilities include taking care of these constraints.
The directive simply means you cannot have more than 3 idling child server instances, i.e. servers that are not performing any work. With respect to MaxSpareServers, this is done as described in the manual, i.e. any excess process will be terminated.

Well that configuration only sets up the maximum number of spare servers. Why is your main interest limiting the number of max spare servers? The number of idling servers shouldn't really be an issue, it's more of a tuning of some sort to limit excessive use of system resources.
On the other hand, if you want to limit the number of simultaneous requests, just use MaxClients 3

but it's not working. Says it has no installation candidation, which I assume means Baka-MPlayer isn't in the repository, but I don't know where to look for it then.

With how small everything is these days do they sell computers in keyboards, just plug one into a tv through usb and you're good to go.

Can someone help me add Abjects to my UIRC network list? I keep trying but it always says that the connection failed. It wasn't there by default so I'm trying to add it. The IRC client is Hexchat

I go to Networks, click Add and give the new network the title "Abjects" without the quotes. I then click edit and go to the servers list and type in irc.abjects.net and press enter. When I try connecting it just says that it failed 24/7.

Any tips?

So I want to start building a comfy install of ubuntu server, but I want to do it from my current daily driver (debian). Can I build it in a virtual machine then make it not virtual?

I was given a turtle beach headset. There's a problem in the cord just above the control box. Wiggling the cord will cause crackling in the headset, but when the mic is muted the crackling stops. Is this a problem with the wire, the control box, or both?

they're called laptops and they even include a portable screen

>>58114138
Some have been made, including an updated Commodore 64. I don't know of anything current. There really isn't any good reason to permanently attach a $100 PC to a $10 keyboard.

>Budget
Becoming apparent that $1400AUD isn't going to cut it. Anything cheaper than $2000 but the cheapest possible.
>Size
14 inches - most important thing only want it too very close to this size.
>weight
1.5kg max 2kg.
>Country
Australia
>Specs
1tb hdd, 8gb ram, discrete graphics, no need for a ssd
>Processor
i7/i5 prefarably quadcore for matlab.
>Graphics
Just wanna play mid graphics with 60fps. But I do need to run cad software and CUDA programming.
>Previous laptop
Gigabyte u24f. Build quality was awful, but I liked the price/performance when I bought it too years and half years ago. Unfortunately, the build quality was shit and it's fucked now.
Having a hard time finding a laptop that is in this price range. Either higher or lower.

Hey guys.

So basically, I need to be able to access the SSH of my RPI remotely outside of my local network. The problem is that my public IP changes every couple of weeks. How can I access it without needing the new IP every time? There was a site that apparently you could install on the RPI and you signed up to it to access it remotely. I can't remember what it's called, is there a better solution?

Thanks.

dynamic DNS is what you want. There's free services that give you an ugly permanent address, or you can set it up with a domain if you want to pay an annual fee for one of those.

Could anyone do me a solid and check out the two files linked here?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UijLRNQ6N7Q

They're registry edits and when opening them everything checks out and there's nothing stupid in there, but I can't help but feel a little paranoid, likely to my lack of knowledge.

If the files themselves look safe, am I good to go?

>>58114735
I've already got a domain that I pay for yearly. Would I be able to do that, like *domain.com/RPI

>>58114106
I figured it had to do with some homework. You're welcome. However please notice that MaxSpareServers affects IDLE clients, so putting a limit on that does NOT affect the number of simultaneous requests. MaxSpareServers is just used for resource management reasons.
To limit the number of concurrent requests you use something like MaxClients.
That is, if I understood correctly what your teacher had in mind. Good luck anyways

My friend let me use his Filmstruck account but whenever I try to play a movie, it just sits at a black screen forever. I've tried with both Firefox and Chrome and it's the exact same thing. I'm using Ubuntu, by the way.

Screencap 1/2 (Firefox)

>>58114773
Yes. You can do something like home.domain.com and tell your router to forward external ssh port to internal 22 to your raspiss. Use a non-standard external port so your raspi isn't having to reject record login attempts 24/7. I'm using 55555 because it's in the range of unused ports and easy to remember.

Also, is KODI better than Plex for RPI? I need to be able to direct stream without any login/transcode bullshit. I have a 4.1 Level H.264 file that won't play on Plex without wanting to be transcoded by Plex first and obviously the RPI doesn't have enough horse power to transcode shit. Most of the material I download anyway is 4.1 or lower.

Is IPS really worth it?

>>58115201
maybe

>>58115201
It is when it comes with other features such as real dimming instead of PWM.

my wd black hdd is a bit too loud when playing tf2, it also lags a bit.

would a seagate barracuda be any quieter? i just want something quiet at 7200 rpm

>>58115359
Check the S.M.A.R.T. right now. A hard drive shouldn't be doing much when playing TF2. It loads everything at once, and then it's not doing much with the hard drive. Are you sure the noise isn't coming from a GPU fan?

>>58114845
Thanks senpai

Is it at all possible that there could be something fishy with the download itself? Like it may come with hidden malware or is that just a basless worry?

Probably.

But "piracy" has nothing to do with people downloading material from unauthorized sources.

"Piracy" is when you have 20 DVD burners in your apartment, buy DVDs by the 1000 pack, crank out all the popular movies, and sell them for $8 a pop from a van. A "pirate" has absolutely no use for the concept of trading files for free on the Internet, and they hate the fact that so many people do it.

I need help lads. My job is boring as shit and have nothing to do all day for 9 hours. It's a goddamn bank so they disabled every single non-internal whitelisted websites. Basically my internet does not go to the outside world. And no, proxies/VPN won't help.

Thing is, I've been using my phone to browse the internets for hours and it's becoming painful for two reasons: posture and typing. When I use my phone i just put it on the desk and I have to look down which is very bad for my neck. About typing, I get really anxious about typing slow/make a lot of mistakes because with a keyboard i have like 99999999 wpm.

So, what can I do? My idea was getting one of those retarded tablet keyboards but my stupid fucking phone doesn't now allow USB OTG and I'm stuck with bigger size/more expensive bluetooth ones. Still, getting one wouldn't fix the posture thing

what do?

>>58112370
might be possible, but i doubt anyone would bother then bluetooth adapters are literally a dollar

>>58115702
Get a tablet and start collecting certs just for fun :D

No typing needed.

Not really a stupid question, but a question that has the potential to get derailed very fast:

I am updating the hardware on a windows 7 machine that is supposed to stay a windows 7 machine. However since I have to do a fresh install, does any anon have a list of updates to avoid aside from the obvious KB3035583? I don't want to have to audit each update for signs of windows 10.

>>58115702

>>58115732
I was thinking about getting a tablet. The problem is, tablets don't have sim cards, right? Which mean I wouldn't have internet since there's no wifi there. I've been browsing all day with 3G/4G.

Bring a laptop and tether it to your phone. As long as it doesn't connect to the bank's systems it should be okay.

Depends on how it's implemented. A VM should work for you, but is likely not the most efficient solution.

I have an old Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon, if it matters) that is currently only used for lazy in-bed browsing and alarms, with some occasional solitaire. I upgraded to a different phone a few months back because it was shutting down when the battery read 20-30% charge. Since then the problem has gotten worse, to the point that it now shuts down at 65-75%. Is there any way to fix this, or will it be tied to a power outlet for the rest of its life?
