It only works if I connect thro wireless lan

I found this way of protecting against ARP spoofing:

ip link set dev <dev> arp off

arp -s <router ip> <router mac>

The problem though is that after a while the Internet connection will fail. What am I doing wrong?

say i want to view the 2015 source code of a webpage, i am able to do that?

>>58601516
Yes, if there's a cached version of the website.

https://archive.org/web/

>>58601516
Yeah, with Wayback Machine if someone saved a snapshot.

>>58601544
but what if there isnt a cached version? because i have the url of a 2015 document from that webpage and if i enter that url and search the document shows up, but if i search the source code of that same webpage i cant find that document there. How does that document show up if i search for it by manually entering the url, but not when i search for it in the webpages source code doesnt that mean that this document must be stored somewhere on that page?

What's the modern way of programming 2d games? I still stick to my old and lovely [spoiler]visual basic 6[/spoiler], but I dunno how long will it be compatible with modern systems.

>>58601666
Why are you asking? If there's a newer version then install it. If you're considering installing from F-Droid because you think it might somehow save you from the botnet, it won't. It's called """Google""" Authenticator.

wanted to try elementary os but my pc is 32 bits so it only supports Elementary OS Freya, and its not even on elementary's site anymore to download (was removed somewhere between 2015~2016 i guess). Would it be fine to use it or would there be security/performance implications using it?

>>58601663
Because it's the least competent FOSS all-in-one player from :
MPC-HC
MPV
VLC

>>58601705
Actually, the one on F-Droid it's only called Authenticator. I was asking if this version serves its purpose just as same as the Play Store one

>>58601663
Because there comes a time when some software needs to be redone from scratch, when code and components need to be cleaned, when years of additions and bloat have produced chaos and mistakes that can't be cleaned up without laying everything out and re-configuring it from scratch.
When lessons learned during the development over the years that couldn't be applied before, need to be applied in a new clean slate.

VLC is long long looooooooong overdue on this.
It's a steaming pile of shit as it is now.

>shouldn't we put a stop to it already?
You can't put a stop to it, because people need a religion.
Dumbasses who have too much free time;
dumbasses who are too lazy to study and work and influence society through tangible venues such as directly becoming a manager, businessman, politician, engineer, scientist, builder, maintainer, cleaner;
dumbasses who substitute actual work with activism to put it in a TL;DR fashion.
They substitute their personal inabilities, laziness, or just lack of personality and independent thought, with a religion.
It can be God or gods, it can be political, it can be ideological, it can be identity politics, but it's all just a smokescreen and basically the same fucking time-wasting shit.

Even these 500 000 tramps who made a women's march would have done better as humans and members of society if, say, they decided to "protest" that day by the venue of every woman planting 1 tree (500k people doing this would actually help nature),
or every woman buying some food on that day and distributing it to the known poor people in the neighborhood (helping the needy),
or anything.

What we got instead? 500 000 tramps polluting the atmosphere by gas being wasted on a fucking march, by time that could have been used on making their job places more productive being wasted on some stupid march,
the time that could have been used cleaning up the streets and making the environment nicer being wasted on a march that produced even more garbage, by people who are garbage.
That's what you get from activism. Waste of time and garbage people lacking self-awareness.

Depends on the file type.
What do you want to send? and why online?

>>58602163
>What do you want to send?
a pack of sprite sheets
>and why online?
the dev is on discord

unless you're talking the compressor, it can be offline software or some shit like that

>>58602113
7zip is the best practical compression archive format. It uses LZMA internally

>>58602204
>it can be offline software or some shit like that
Peazip.

But I doubt that you'd get anything more than 1 - 5 MB decrease in file size since most of these are images.

>>58602214
>>58602224
i'll look onto these

>>58602113
>5MB to 50MB
Good one

>>58602235
I compressed 82 MB file into 2 MB with lzma

>>58602298
I compressed 2TB into one byte, you just need a 2TB dictionary to decompress it

>>58602609
lzma just means you need more ram for better compression. Everything in the archive is enough information on it's own for lossless reconstruction of the data.
it's not hard to improve upon deflate.

I'm planning to use the NH-D15S for my next PC build, along with the Fractal Design Define Nano S lacking the side window.
According to Fractal's website, the maximum height allowed for the CPU cooler would be 162mm for the case lacking the side window.

Here's the problem, on Noctua's website it lists two different heights:
http://noctua.at/en/nh-d15s

On the Specifications tab, it states the CPU cooler's height (with fan) is 160mm. It even shows a picture on the tab, clearly showing it's 160mm.
Yet, if you download the information sheet from the Service tab, it states the height is actually 165mm.

What the hell is the actual height of the NH-D15S with the NF-A15 fan attached?

Are WD Blue hard drives usually loud? I've only ever had one and it's A LOT louder than my Toshiba one, it sound almost like a fan. Maybe I just got a dud?

On Manjaro, I updated it recently and restarted my laptop. Now, when I try to log in, I get an error message that says "Could not start kdeinit5, Check your installation."

So I have a pair of old German 4 ohm bookshelf speakers. I have bought a chink amplifier (Breeze Audio TPA3116) and I threw it together quickly. The amp didn't come with a power supply so I used my old router's 12 V brick. The amp is rated to be able to run on 12-24 V.

I used the output of my laptop's sound card, turned to 95% volume, while the amp was on ~20% at comfortable volumes. My experience was mixed. On low to comfortable volume I couldn't hear almost any bass at all. On high volumes the bass was pretty good, but the mids and highs got too loud for casual listening.

My stupid question is: if I get a 24 V PSU, will the sound become fuller at a lower level or is it not affected by that? Or should I look into software equalisation?

It happened when I last updated the packages yesterday. I've had Manjaro for a good while and installed infinaliity fonts when I first got it, but I never knew it was outdated and no longer supported, so it somehow prevented me from logging in.

I fixed it by accessing the terminal from the login screen and replacing the infinality packages with the default packages (cairo-infinality to cairo, etc.) using pacman -S, and it worked.

It most likely did mess with the kde, but I have no idea in what way it did.

Will things run slower if I boot of a USB?

I need to use linux to run some stuff which uses a lot of CPU / GPU, will I see a big speedup if I install the OS onto my hard drive?

Netbook is running slow and occasionally crashing.
What would be the first thing to change? Would it be worth getting a new HDD?

I have ffmpeg producing a hls stream (ffmpeg -re -i input.mp4 -f hls output.m3u8). It appears to do what it's supposed to: creates the video segments and appends the playlist with the new ones as they're generated.

The problem is, if I try to play the m3u8 file in vlc, it gets stuck when it reaches the end of the playlist and completely locks up. According to the debug messages, it periodically reloads the playlist, but the text it parses remains the same instead of containing the new segments. Opening it myself in notepad, it does contain the new segments though.

I made a simple script that does nothing more than open output.m3u8 every few seconds and save the contents to output2.m3u8; if I then play output2.m3u8 in vlc, it does get an updated playlist whenever it checks.

So is it ffmpeg that isn't writing the playlist properly, or vlc not reading it properly?

>>58603953
It could be literally anything since you provide no information.

What are your specs? CPU, RAM, how much space is left on disk.
What OS are you running? Version as well.
Did you install anything that caused that problem, or did you notice any pattern?

With context no one can help you.

Why

>>58603634
Yes, that's (normally) how definite integrals are defined.

If F(a) is the indefinite integral of f at point a, then the definite integral from a to b of f is defined to be F(b) - F(a).

Hi, I have a problem setting my Ocaml environment on Ubuntu 16.04.

As you can see on the left side of pic related, there seems to have a problem with OPAM's ppa, yet it let me install utop, core, core_extended and async ...

On top right, you can see my .ocamlinit, which has everything it needs to use the Core library in utop.

Yet, on bottom right you can see that I can't open it in utop. What should I do ?

>>58603901
Yes, much slower. If you run your system from your USB you'll be limited by the read and write speeds of the USB, which are much slower (three to four times slower) than a hard disk's ones.

You only run an OS from a flash drive if you're testing it out or if it's something like Kali Linux where you really want to take it with you, otherwise you should install the OS on your hard drive if you don't want to take a massive performance hit.

how do you clean your glasses /g/
I'm getting new lenses because my current ones are full of scratches, but the reason they're full of scratches is because I clean them with my shirt
It is soooo fuckin inconvenient to have to reach for a microfibre cloth everytime you have a smudge on your lens
so what the fuck is the solution here
i know no one actually does the microfibre thing so are scratched lenses just an inevitability?

>>58604203
I wipe them with one of those damp make-up removal wipes, and then with a dry kitchen towel.

I don't know how to read processors specs.
Overall, how does the i3-4005u compares to the m3-6Y30 and the N3450?

The N3450 is the shittiest among them and the m3 the best?

>>58604203
Dishwashing liquid and rinsing them off with warm water I think is the only proper way to clean them. Just don't touch the lease and I don't see how you would get smudges, I always carry the cloth around with me anyway because it's better than a shirt.

>>58604313
>wiping with not one, but two towels
do you ever leave your house?
with your glasses on?

>>58604203
Microfiber is the only way. I don't wear glasses and I always keep some cloths handy. They're good for other stuff.

>>58604307
Anything metal with a plastic handle, like scissors, plyers, screwdriver...
There may be loud pops.

>>58604307
Screwdriver, just place the metal part so that it connects both of the capacitor's poles, hold it like that for like 2 to 3 seconds. That'll short it out, i.e. discharge it. It goes without saying don't put your fucking hands on the metal, hold the screwdriver by the plastic end while doing this.

As a student I have legal copies of both Win 10 Education (modified Enterprise without Cortana and ads) and Server 2016.

I heard on /g/ that Server 2016 might be better than Edu even for everyday desktop.

But if I would install it on my PC, would that "bound" they key to that machine? Or I would be able to later remove it and install on another PC and activate as normal?

I remember that Win 7 installation I had from same source could activate normally on another PC after deinstallation, but I dont know if Win10/Server 2016 works the same.

Or I should just install that Edu instead and Server 2016 on desktop is not good idea?

Thanks for advice.

I'm using my laptop to view movies on my TV through HDMI. I bitstream Dolby Digital AC3 and DTS to my reciever.

However, the Intel audio device is not capable of bitstreaming Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD to the reciever. Thus I would like to send it as LPCM audio to the reciever instead.
When I attempt to play a movie with DTS-HD, Media Player Classic just falls back to bitstreaming the standard DTS audio instead of sending DTS-HD as a LPCM signal.

What am I doing wrong?
I have disabled DTS-HD bitstreaming in MPC-HC but allowed bitstreaming of standard DTS since I can bitstream that normally.

Do you think VBA is a good position to start off your developer career, or should I just focus on javascript for now and get a proper front end job? I'm not sure if I'd prefer back-end or front-end long term, but I need to escape my current job asap.

Help needed ;_;

Last night I finish assembling my first PC


- 7th Gen Pentium G4600 3.6GHz
- MSI B150 PC Mate ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
- Kingston FURY 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400
- Toshiba 1TB 2.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive
- Raidmax ATX-295WBP ATX Mid Tower Case w/500W Power Supply
- I am using an old HDTV as a Monitor through HDMI

System turns on, it seems to POST even though no beep is heard, fans spin and all seems good; nothing shows up on monitor though, I've tried 2 different cables and tested it only on 2 TV's (I haven't used a monitor). I do know for a fact both cables and TV's work since I tested them from laptop, problem is even on the laptop BIOS doesn't come up, only once inside OS can I see stuff; this is the problem I am hoping for since I would be really really really upset if it was a hardware or incompatibility issue.

Other 2 culprits are either the PSU or that the BIOS is not updated yet to support Kaby (THIS IS THE PROBLEM I'M REALLY AFRAID OF). But again, system boots and everything seems to be fine, the machine doesn't even shut down or anything, power led stays on and fans running, for as long as I keep them. It's just that I haven't been able to see the BIOS or any signal on the TV.

Some things to be noted:
1. I am aware the Motherboard is Skylake, however the BIOS update came out in October and I bought it January 14; I'm assuming it has been updated already.
2. System POST works, I tested it by taking out the RAM, system beeps 3 times as expected and DRAM led stays on. Putting it back gives no beeps at all, HDD beeps when I shut down system.
3. PSU came with the case, not very high quality, but everything is connected and as I said, everything boots up.
4. Using integrated GPU


PLEASE HELP THIS LITTLE AUTIST ;_;

Yes. It can kill you if the capacitors still have charge and you touch something.

depends on a few factors
assuming it's the same hard drive you're using, if it's usb2, then sequential access will be limited to ~45MB/s (down from ~100-140MB/s for most modern desktop hdd's), but random access won't be affected much, as hard drive can't do 45MB/s with small, random accesses anyway
if it's usb3, there may be little to no difference at all, as it has enough bandwidth

as far as software performance goes, it depends on what the software does
once the program and relevant data has been loaded from the disk into memory, execution speed will not be affected
for example, lets say it is usb2, and you went to run a game, starting the game and loading levels may be slower, but in-game speed will be the same

there's no disadvantage in your case to just using LPCM for everything, see if you can just do that

is it safe to assume that all laptop keyboards have "removable" keys? as in: you can remove one without breaking it and put it back in?

my spacebar seems to be acting up (squeaky sounds, can be unresponsive if I type fast and hit it a lot)

my guess is I can probably fix this by removing the spacebar and putting it back in as one of the rubber things has probably moved or something

the thing is the laptop is 1 month old so I could theoretically call dell to fix this but I bet that would take at least 2 weeks and be a pain in the ass

should I just carefully try to pull the spacebar out? I don't want to break shit

>have wireless router
>PC plugged in through ethernet, works
>3 mobile devices connect to the router, but get no internet
I googled around and found nothing, what do

>>58606210
surely you can hear the difference, right?

>>58606225
>is it safe to assume that all laptop keyboards have "removable" keys?

Absolutely not, i know from experience that at least a couple of lenovo cheap laptops keys would break if you tried to remove them.

>>58606278
Well, it's difficult to do a proper ABX test of audio streams from a movie, but if i have a movie stream that does include for example a DTS-HD steam then I of course want my reciever to play the audio source of the highest possible quality.

I don't expect a massive difference between for example DTS and DTS-HD but I'd imagine there would be a slight difference at the very least.

>>58606225
It's often difficult to get spacebars back in and sometimes they break. I'd try just slamming the bar.

>>58606328

For a small business you're supposed to set up a server for VMware ESXi, a NAS hard drive, for 12 workstations (2GB RAM, 500gb HDD) and 2 graphic workstations.

How do I figure out the distance between floating point numbers the non brainlet way?

Given that the distance between 7 and the next largest floating point number is 2^-12, what is the distance between 70 and the next largest floating point number?

The way I've done it is just saying that
7 = 111
2^-12 = 0.000000000001
So 7 + 2^-12 = 111.000000000001 which gives us 15 digits in total (probably 16 assuming we're using a signed bit)

Then
70 = 1000110
it gives us at the most 8 digits to represent the floating point portion of the number
2^-8, or 1000110.00000001

and means the distance is 0.00390625

Is there a non retarded way to do this shit? I feel like spilling everything out into binary is some real brainlet shit.

If you really want an antivirus scanner, just go with ClamWin.
The best protection is threat mitigation. The biggest attack surfaces for clueless normals on desktops is not your downloads but your web browser and operating system, so harden those the fuck up.

>>58608724
/g/ doesn't have a consensus. For one thing it changes every year. MSE has had horrible detection rates for a few years now. You could run avast or comodo with an occasional malwarebytes scan. For "just werks", go bitdefender

>>58608905
Well, you'd need to have pipes run to supply your lights if you don't have them set up already. I can imagine that could get pretty expensive. The cost would probably be higher than electrical lights, but I don't think it would be prohibitively so or anything, bigger issue would be getting it all set up to start.

Can you run 2 different antiviruses at the same time?

Do i have to delete AVG for example if i want to use Avast?

>>58609066
You shouldn't. It will severely affect performance to have two monitoring your system at the same time, and they can interfere with each other. And there's not much reason to

>>58609066
It's not recommended. They can interfere with eachother, some wont install if they detect other AVs currentlly installed. Some kinds of av are designed specifically to play well with others

>>58609103
Thank you

>>58609020
It's an antivirus. Some viruses work by packaging themselves in malignant software, so yes.

O-oh..
So are anti-virus and anti-malware not mutually exclusive?

AVG is also an anti-malware software?

>>58609145
You shouldn't be going places where you can get malware to begin with if you don't know how to block malware from ever impinging your PC.
Run javascript on a case-by-case basis per website as in turn it off by default, and kill flash extension in browser. Killing ads from ever loading or popping up also helps.

>>58609251
Your wallet, that's about it. Frankly prefer to have a beefy PSU than a manlet PSU.

>>58609145
Not mutually, no. Virus is a subset of malware. For a while spyware was considered a new category from virus, but AVs have mostly integrated them now.

4chanX filters.

The problem is filtering all of them since multiple posters will have the same image with different MD5 because either jpg compression or other shit.
One good thing is once you filter them once you filter a shitposter that uses them often for a long time.

>>58609853
First one.
You deleted the startup file, but the malware or whatever caused it is still in your PC.
Also that you stopped it from starting doesn't mean your PC is clean.

Is 4X going to bottleneck my 970 or affect my setup negatively at all?

Do i need to disable anything other than my antivirus when i run these things?

Does Malwarebytes act as an antivirus, and i don't need to re-enable my antivirus once i'm done?

>>58610051
>Do i need to disable anything other than my antivirus when i run these things?
No.

>>58610051
>Does Malwarebytes act as an antivirus, and i don't need to re-enable my antivirus once i'm done?
Yes, Malwarebytes doesn't mind other antivirus running along with it.

How long would it take me to become a decent programmer if I dedicate 6-8 hours to read and program per day?

>>58610080
6-8 hours a day is pretty unreasonable, but if you can do it without goofing off...maybe 2 months to become really proficient in a language.

as someone with a CS degree i think, for me atleast, i didnt really feel comfortable with programming until i had a lot of longterm memory built up. now i can fire off hello world programs in a bunch of languages without even thinking very hard. you can be a good programmer and still use resources to look up how to start your programs, but the ingrained memory takes some time

Malwarebytes should get rid of them.
Looks like the malware was installing adware but it Malwarebytes should get rid of it.
This is why i told you to run Adwcleaner to.

Looks like your common USB spread malware, nothing to worry about.

Run Adwcleaner and if you could post your startup list, try using CCleaner to check it.

is there some way i can keep it from trying to enter the script itself as a directory?
