Is After Effects a good option for video editing?

If I were to get a Logitech M570 trackball, could I replace the blue ball with a red ball from the Logitech Trackman Marble? It'd only be for aesthetic purposes, so it's not a deal breaker if I can't. Using a regular mouse is killing my wrist.

Also, is there a better trackball for the price (~$25)?

what am I doing wrong?

I have a bare git repo in my apache webserver in /var/www/html/git/project1.git

but when I run git clone http://192.168.1.4/git/project1.git it spits this out

Cloning into 'project1'...
fatal: unable to connect to 192.168.1.4:
192.168.1.4[0: 192.168.1.4]: errno=Connection refused

>>58611856
or it spits out this error:

Cloning into 'project1'...
fatal: repository 'http://192.168.1.4/Git/project1.git/' not found

>>58611848
A quick google search tells me After Effects is good for exactly what it's name implies, adding after effects to a completed video. It has barebones video editing features, so you're better off with Premier if you want to stick with Adobe.

Posted this last thread when it was about to 404.

Could someone with linux please cross-compile this Cthulhu horror roguelike game for windows-users like myself and upload it somewhere? It's not terribly big. No one gives a fuck in the /vg/ threads where you'd expect someone would, and /v/ is out of the question. Please. I love you long time. This isn't really a question, more like a request, but I figured if someone have linux and wasn't a complete cunt, it'd be someone here.

I have a problem finding a good algorithm/way of doing the following task in mysql/PHP.

>User presses "random share"
>5 different users are picked out of the database randomly
>Every of the 5 users gets the item OP shared
>Every user who got the item can press "random share" again, so that 5 different random users get the item.

Here's the problem: The shared item should, under no circumstance, come back to any user who shared it already. I thought about creating a cache-table which contains the userID and the itemID they got, so I can randomly generate 5 users to be picked out, and check the table if the picked out users got the item already. If not, it will start to pick out 5 users again, and so on and so on until 5 users who do not have the item are picked out.

The problem is, if I have 10.000 users and 9.995 already have the item, it will take a shitload of time to randomly pick the excact 5 users who don't have the item. Any suggestion on how I can do this?

Alright... Dumb question time:

For a small experiment I'm doing, I need to run a script once a day for about a year.

The script is in ~/Desktop/project/[scriptfilename]

What command can I use to schedule it to run at midday (and how can I make sure it runs?)

>>58611983
use a cron daemon?

>>58606311
Should I have posted this in here?

>>58612000
Yes.

>>58611983
Google cron. Cron is exactly what you're looking for.

>>58612000
Yes.

Got a Linux USB?
Boot into it while the HDD is connected and (Search for Disk and will show all devices connected)check SMART data of the one giving problems and post it here.

Honestly sounds like the HDD is FUBAR and you need a new one.

>>58612020
I don't have anything Linux related, it's a Windows 8.1 laptop. Lenovo Y50-70 touch.

>>58612041
Well then, got a way to make one?
Or you can boot into windows with no problem?

>>58612000
Yeah. You also should have had a backup of anything you cared about all along. Forget about running windows until you have one. Boot either linux or winPE to back up the files you care most about, then run a full image with a macrium reflect disk. You could also stick the drive in another PC. But the situation is grim

Can I download torrents using the terminal?

>>58611918
will try real quick

>>58612045
>>58612048
I haven't turned it on since the buzzing, so I don't know if it will boot or how long it will last if it does.
Also, I know absolutely nothing about Linux and I'm pretty tech retarded outside of some terminology and how to open things.

pronounce cache =
cash or cashay?

>>58612041
Download a live CD image from a different computer to a flash drive, boot from the flash drive.

In the future, if this happens again don't do an image backup, just do the important files. Use the rule of two: two is one, and one is none. If you only have it in one place, you don't have it at all.

>>58612090
You dont need any knowledge.

Just a way to boot into a USB instead your HDD to check the HDD status.

Its literally only Booting on it and opening the disk manager.
Im sure you have enough knowledge to open the start menu and open a program.

>>58612054
If you install the transmission command line interface.

>>58612090
You can use portable windows instead

You have another computer around?

I will handhold you.

Download Linux Mint ISO.
Download Rufus.

Grab a empty USB.
Create a Bootable USB with those 2.
Boot to it trough BIOS or boot manager of your laptop with fucked up HDD.
Open "Disks".
Select your HDD.
Check SMART.
Post it here.

Then we will know if its fucked or nothing to worry about.

>>58612098
If there's potential confusion between the actual word cash and cache, pronounce it cashay

Best Mouse+Keyboard purchase for under $50?
I'd like something that has around the same layout as a Zboard MERC only without all the extra bullshit buttons on the left, and a mouse that has at least 2 buttons on it.
Only ones I've found look like they have terrible build quality and pander to the XTREME GAMERZ crowd.

>>58612139
We're telling you to use another computer to download an OS and stick it on a flashdrive or DVD, then boot that up on your laptop. You won't be running your regular windows install at all. Portable window is probably more familiar to you if you've never used linux before.

I have google drive on my mobile device. I can make a new account and skip the phone number requirement, then sign in later on a laptop/desktop and it operates fine. You can try that.

>>58612153
Open a terminal, type "crontab -e" (without the double quotes) and press enter. Type the following line, substituting the full path of the application you wish to run for the one shown below, into the editor:

45 04 * * * /usr/bin/updatedb

Save your changes and exit the editor.

Crontab will let you know if you made any mistakes. The crontab will be installed and begin running if there are no errors. That's it. You now have a cronjob setup to run updatedb, which updates the slocate database, every morning at 4:45.

Just the family computer. Thank you for the instructions, I'll see what I can do. I can use the external hdd I've tried using for the backup, right? It's 2tb. Formatting is not an option though, I have other backups on there.
>>58612169
This makes a bit more sense, thank you.

whatever happened to that swf fiasco a year ago?

What is the best software for managing multiple monitors (I have two) on Windows and is it worth it to use all the functions?

so I work for a big company that has a 'no right to privacy' type rule for any work done on their computers and we even have to log into the computers with a key card. Is there any way to access the internet somehow if I just plug a personal device into an ethernet wall jack, or is there still some kind of control at that point?

>>58612211
>I can use the external hdd I've tried using for the backup, right? It's 2tb. Formatting is not an option though, I have other backups on there.
>>58612211
No.
Since you will have to format it.

You need a simple USB with 4-8GB.

>>58612208
batteries last about a year too.
the single usb dongle is helpful as well.
media keys and dedicated calculator key = bonus ;)
i should just buy a whole skid of them wholesale at some point.

>>58612224
Get your own computer to use together with whatever you use.

Network admin still can block you out internet.

>>58612223
Windows handles this by default, you shouldn't have to use a third party program.

>>58612125
>>58612199
Thank you, I'll try those options.

>>58612225
Would an sd card work? It's the only thing I can immediately find.

Is it good to defrag my disk right now? (25% fucked up according to Windows)

>>58612223
Your GPU drivers.

>>58612247
I guess it should.

>>58612211
You will need a small flash drive or DVD to put the portable OS on, but you can save the backup itself to the external HDD no problem.

>>58612247
It's not my first choice, but you can probably get it to boot.

>>58612254
Sure if it's an HDD. But windows should be handling all that automatically. Which version do you have?

>>58611918
>>58611918

Is there a way I can send a message to the terminal that the program is indeed running?

>>58612345
Are you sure apache is set up right? Do you have a test page that's working in a browser?

>>58612372
Because paper needs to be bleached.

>>58612346
I hate to sound helpless, but which do I download? Rufus or Rufus Portable, and Linux Cinnamon or MATE?

>>58612372
So you can accurately diagnose if you have poo fever.

That and it's probably a pain in the ass trying to color paper into a non-white color

>>58612378
yeah, it works fine

I even threw a link on there that I can click to show the git repos' directory

>>58612387
Both Rufus should work, the only difference is taht you install one and the portable is just a .exe that you can run without installing.

Cinnamon.

i could do that if the paper was easter blue or pastel yellow

Shoot, sorry. I think this may be an apache thing. Have you tried adding an index.html file in the git directory? If so, try to ping it. Apache isn't really my expertise.

You can download windows 10 directly from Microsoft. I wouldn't recommend pirating an OS though. Why not try Linux if you don't want to pay for anything??

>>58612606
You can get 10 for free from Windows without a key. You just get a watermark you can't remove in the desktop if you use that without activating a license but you still get full use of it otherwise. It's botnet but if you want windows it's free. Otherwise linux is always free and won't spy on you but it's horrible game support and lack of some easy to use programs turns people away.

>>58612942

You basically ignored the SD card entirely. You are currently attempting to repair errors on your hard drive. This usually a good thing, although if your drive is very close to dying from a mechanical error, there is a chance this could kill the drive before you get a chance to recover your data.

>>58612951
Its not really wise to stop CHKDSK once it starts if you care what is in the HDD.

But if you dont do a hard reset.

Also did you remember to turn legacy support on in BIOS?

Do what other anon said so you can select a list of users who have not shared this item. But only select the COUNT.

Run same query again, use offset i, limit 1 for each i

Thank you, Anon!

>>58613139
Sounds like you just ignored your sd card entirely and booted up windows like normal. You could try briefly doing a drive check in windows, or you could go back to the slightly safer option of booting an alternative OS. Have the unusual noises been coming directly from the drive itself? Did they sound mechanical or beepy?

>>58613092
anon, you are a diick

>>58613174
I went into boot manager, or whatever it's called. There was only one option, and it sent me into that recovery thing. I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing.
The fan usually makes this rough, loud noise similar to a vacuum cleaner or a truck revving. Right now, it made a smooth, soft-ish noise similar to a tiny spinny thing, like a dentist drill. It sounded like something that would gravely hurt you if you touched it even lightly. The other day when it was loud, it sounded like a barber's razor. No beeps.

>>58613234
If this "boot manager" page listed the option as "windows" something, then that's probably not the right page. We're talking about something that comes up before that. Also your laptop might not consider SD cards bootable at all. If it doesn't show up in bios OR when you bring up the proper boot menus list of drives, you probably won't be able to boot linux or winPE until you find a flashdrive or CD/DVD.

There are ways to proceed in windows if it's just sector failure or some other issue with your system, but if it's actually a problem with the spinning mechancial parts, then it's potentially riskier proceeding that way.

IRC is an old web chat system. A public key is something that anyone can use to encrypt a message so that only the key's owner can decrypt it (using the corresponding private key). There's a trust system that revolves around pairing your personal or online identity to one of these keys, so that people can be sure the public key represents you. It becomes a guarantee that a message or file was created by you. You can then vouch for someone else's key if you've met them in person or have a strong reason to trust that the key's owner is who they say they are. That way anyone who trusts you can trust by extension the keys you've signed. So the comic is just saying he fucked up and vouched for someone he doesn't know.

>>58613406
thanks. wish i knew more about it. but its pretty defunct now right?

>>58613369
That is the right menu. What it's saying is that your SD card is not a boot option at all. It's only listing your hard drive (the 8gb SSHD is just the name of your hard drive, because it's a hybrid).

Being quieter isn't a bad sign, but it's no guarantee. Usually it doesn't hurt to have windows on long enough to run crystaldisk, but that's your call.

Get a USB and stick the iso in the USB. SD card as a boot device isn't supported, you only have USB Boot.

Is there such thing as a fan controller that doesn't connect to the motherboard? I'm trying to make a custom eGPU case and need a way to power the fans for it. Right now I'm just considering cutting off the connectors and attaching them to male USB ends to power it via a usb hub, but that only provides 5 volts. Is there a better way?

>>58613505
4K is a marketing term. To a certain extent, 1080p/2160p as well. 4K rolls off the tongue better than 2160p, no?

i'm 35. just never got into IRC, didn't know they ever existed until this year.
raised in poor family with no PC.

i guess i missed the IRC boat.

Ultra HD. 4K UHD is a resolution of 3840 pixels × 2160 lines (8.3 megapixels, aspect ratio 16:9) and is one of the two resolutions of ultra high definition television targeted towards consumer television, the other being 8K UHD which is 7680 pixels × 4320 lines (33.2 megapixels).

Yes they are very popular. Have little knobs and everything.

>>58613551
>and at that time, AOL was the thing. chat rooms and IM's.
No it wasn't, except for normals and their MSN messenger crap. You can still get on IRC, there are web clients now.

>>58613556
Entirety of 4chan active still get on IRC, especially /a/, /v/ and the raiding parties I mean the safety squads of /pol/ and /k/. If you get a stream up there's usually an IRC chatroom that gets posted.

>>58613444
That's probably one of those connectors that has a really specific use case and wont do what you hope it will. If you want to connect XLR to a PC you pretty much need a USB mixer, and they tend to be at least as expensive as the cheaper mics.

>>58613463
It's not as prominent as it used to be, but it's still around. Kind of like RSS. Some browsers build IRC capability right in, and you can get pluggins for the rest.

If you're looking for a dynamic mic I'd upgrade to the ATR-2100. It's a way better mic, used all over the industry, comes with full USB and XLR compatibility and all the accessories except foam cover.

https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATR2100-USB-Cardioid-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B004QJOZS4

The Blu mics are a different kind of mic altogether. Condenser mics like the snowball pick up a wider range of sound and capture nuances better, but they're way more picky about interference and background noise.

That microphone costs more than the entire setup that I have listed here, let alone the single mic, for what I'm doing, from what I've heard from reviews and samples, this should be just fine.
I'm mostly asking out of compatibility/better value reasons.
I'd be using this microphones for voice overs, sample recording, and general use, and compared to the blue snowball, the snowball has way too much background noise to be that appealing to me.

>>58613746
The Neewer setup on Amazon for like $35 is great, you'll just have to increase the gain for the mic as it is condenser microphone.

The bonus to this though, is later on (or for a little extra now) you can get a phantom power supply and an XLR cable and it'll be way better for a good price.

the GPU is an o/c 1080 for under $600, i don't know where you could find it cheaper besides the used market.

It does cost more. I suggested it because you mentioned $50 and for a little stretch the 2100 is great quality and sturdiness. I call that better value. But whatever dynamic mic you use, there will be limits. They're great for podcasts and live events, but less common for voice overs.

I should point out though that none of this is strictly necessary, because it's just running a test to help determine if your drive is fucked, which you could probably figure out easier from within windows. It can't actually fix anything. So what we're really want to accomplish here is just copying your most important files over to the external. You can do that a lot like you would in windows, just by clicking on the "computer" icon, finding your "C:" drive and copying over to the external (they'll have different names, judge them by the size and content). If they don't appear in "computer" we may have to take a couple extra steps to mount them.

No. It's not like the drive would "cool down" from being turned off. The point was to minimize the amount of time and use the drive had before you get a chance to back up your files. Now that you're ready to do that, there's nothing for it but to dive in and get it done, regardless of what noises it makes.

How would I go about making a full backup once my important files are done?

You could try to backup your whole system with a Macrium Reflect Rescue USB, but if you're having issues this bad there's a good chance it would fail. If your HDD really is dying hard, it's probably a good opportunity to reinstall windows from scratch on the new drive.

ps. if anyone is trying to do the same and having trouble, i had to do a few things to make it work

- actually read the build instructions and get the rl_utils submodule, that helps
- compilation failed for me initially with "atan2 was not declared in this scope", fixed(?) it by adding "#include "math.h"" at the top of rl_utils/src/direction.cpp
- linking failed due to differences in where SDL libraries are stored on my distro (arch) and the developers' (mint), change the makefile so these lines look like this;

SDL_BASE_DIR            = /usr
SDL_DIR                 = $(SDL_BASE_DIR)
SDL_IMAGE_DIR           = $(SDL_BASE_DIR)
SDL_MIXER_DIR           = $(SDL_BASE_DIR)

- also i changed these so it used 64bit mingw, though not required

SDL_ARCH                = x86_64-w64-mingw32
windows-cross-compile-release: CXX = x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++

>>58614886
When terminal doesn't work it can be a little hard to pin down why. I'd try the original command again (hit up arrow to scroll through things you've typed), then make sure you can access the internet. If you downloaded an old version of mint that could be the issue.

Something that's clearly happening to me and not to you. Why is this hard to comprehend. Do you do this anytime someone else has a problem? If it's not happening to you it doesn't mean PEBKAC and it certainly doesn't mean the other person is lying. The world of software is big and funny, teehee!

How can I stop my android chinkphone from fucking up?

After it runs out of battery it starts booting to a black screen (backlight is on). The phone is still functional though (see pic) and I don't think the display/its ribbon cable is fucked because this is the third time it's happened. Last two times it randomly started working again after numerous reboots.

Also, I have the Cobra. It crapped out on me after one year and multiple drops, so it should be enough time for you to save up for something better.

Get random double clicks all the time, which fucks shit up when I'm trying to drag-and-drop things.

>>58615071
Maybe. Honestly it doesn't matter very much. Just copy what you're gonna copy. The rest is just diagnosing the drive, and if windows has been messing up and linux isn't then that's probably it. When you're done copying and if you're not too worried about getting a complete system backup, go ahead and let windows repair itself, then you can run crystaldiskinfo if you want to confirm it's the drive. If it comes up red or yellow, it's boned. If it comes up green then I'd still keep everything backed up, but there's a vague chance that windows' files just need to be fixed and your drive just happens to be noisy as fuck now.

>ifstream file with numbers
>need to sort it

Is there a way in c++ to put numbers from a file into an array without knowing beforehand how much you'll need. It doesn't look like it but wanted to see try asking.

on every forum they say that samsung 850 evo uses TLC but in their manual on samsung page they write it uses MLC. Who is lying then?

I'm trying to play a game through Wine and the top panel doesn't go away when in fullscreen.

>>58615288

>can't use vector
Is there someone putting a gun to your head and telling you you're not allowed to use one?

Anyways, if you don't know how big the file is beforehand, you obviously cannot allocate some static amount of memory and have it guaranteed to be big enough for all of the integers in the file. Roll your own vector if you have to.

>>58615191
I'd say the top one. It has more reallocated sectors.

I'd also imagine having a larger raw value means the drive is in worse health, with 0000000000 being ideal.

What's the best Linux program for syncing music and data to an iPhone? I gave up on Android phones because I'm tired of flagships becoming lagships and Swype is finally a native keyboard option without it requiring copy and paste. But I'm not ready to go full faggot and buy a Mac, so I'm still using Linux

Will a new PC recognize partitions of old storage hdd from other pc? or do I need to wipe it clean and reformat it in new PC?

>>58615395
most musicplayers these days have decent sync built in

>>58615360
>Is there someone putting a gun to your head and telling you you're not allowed to use one?
Yes. The professor apparently. Wants us to sort input files but says STL isn't allowed. Even though I have to use iostream and fstream, I just assume he meant "don't use vectors lol :^)".

Think I found a way to make it work out though.

You just need to make sure whatever partition you're installing your OS to is empty.

>>58615622
that would be completely different hdd from the storage one

>SSD and HDD

The ext4 partition works for everything else

For 150€ is better performing an old quadro/firepro or a GTX 960?

>>58615432
Thanks anon! I haven't actually plugged it into my laptop yet to try it, so I would've known that if I had.

Though since I use ncmpcpp and mpd, I'll probably need to install a music player with an actual GUI like rhythmbox or something I guess

>>58615663
Okay, am I understanding correctly? You're trying to create an ext4 partition for both windows and Linux to use and steam on Windows is saying it's read only?

If so, that's totally normal. Windows doesn't have the ability to read and write anything but fat/fat16/fat32/vfat and NTFS out of the box and you'll need third party software to read and write to extfs. If you want a partition to share between them, use a *FAT* fs because both operating systems can read and write it natively.

If it's steam on Linux that can't read/write extfs partitions, it's being mounted as read only and you need to add it to your fstab with the 'user' flag so non-root accounts can read and write

>>58615799
I'm having the problem with Linux steam, I'll try the fstab thing and see how it goes, thank you!

Looking for an external HDD to backup my shit.
What brands/models have the lowest failure rate?

>>58615838
buy a good normal, desktop HDD+enclosure

I always hover between MagicDisc, Daemon Tools, and PowerISO for my mounting needs.

Can someone give me a final consensus on which one is actually the best?

>>58615850

From what I have seen though, a 4TB external is actually cheaper than an internal hard drive for some reason, what is up with that?

Anyways I might actually look into that, ty.

>>58615882
shit drive in a shit case, ofc it's cheaper.

With assembling it yourself, you have full control over the parts. You can get a case that fits your needs and a hard drive that got good review and generally trusted by the community.

My debian install is suddenly getting stuck on boot. The only thing I recently did was fiddle with fstab (>>58615836)
Verbose nosplash shows it getting stuck around "systemd started create static device nodes in /Dev". It sometimes gets five lines below that, but it always freezes about there.

Can individual computer components be disabled by the seller or someone if they appear to be stolen etc, like if you get double packaged because of shipping errors or if you get a package and then your payment gets refunded ?
I know that stolen laptops, especially thinkpads can get locked and it will require a costly tool to unfuck it, but what about just individual PC components like SSD or RAM or CPU ?

dont think ram has anything

>>58616393
what about motherboards ?

If I dont care about loading times in games and I dont do any production is there any other reason to why buy a ssd?
Will it remove stuttering or anything like that or is it really just loading?

>>58616473
>stuttering
In games you mean ? Possibly, like loading textures etc
In general SSDs are great even if you're not actually in need of faster times literally everywhere, fuck a 128gb SATA3 SSD are like 30-40$, not that much at all, while in exchange you get near instant boot times(the most noticable is that you can run anything just as soon as you see the desktop, instead of waiting for all the programs that run on boot to load up, every program you have also loads instantly, no wait for those load times, everything just seems to run so fucking fast like you just bought some kind of magic worth of 500$,l but it's actually just a small SSD
They don't cost that much as they used to, there's no reason to not own one
If you're not convinced, try putting an SSD into your older relatives(father mother etc) laptop or PC, they will notice it and say you "fixed" their computer
SSDs are especially nice in laptops, less weight, less noise, more battery time, extremely resilient to fall damage, positioning(try watching a movie on a bus with storage protection in Thinkpads(if they feel change of direction they slow down, resulting in tearing))

Would a older MLC ssd be a better than modern TLC? I'm not that interested if the speed is bit slower I just want it to last 7+ years
>>58616530

>>58616571
Not that informed on the innards of SSDs, but basically anything from a company you've heard of will do fine, don't buy Kingston though, did a bait and switch on their SSDs once, they don't deserve money from their SSDs anymore
Protip: if your motherboard has m.2 slot, it would save you two cables, if you care about that
When you buy the SSD you will have to reinstall your windows on it and basically all the programs to it too(haven't run out with 128gb even with shit for university like AutoCAD, VS and similar)
Another protip: if you install steam on SSD(you should), change the game installation directory to HDD, because by default they will install in the steam directory

>>58616571
>>58616613

With SSDs newer is better. They get a lot more structural improvements than HDDs over time. You don't have to reinstall windows, you can just clone it and re-run the hardware check.

>>58616544
Make sure defragging is scheduled.

>>58616642
ehh cloning does it's job, but I can only guess problems would eventually surface with it, clean install is always better

>>58616642
k, shame the 850pro is so expensive seems to be only good MLC except Intel nowadays

>>58616699
960 evo

>>58616699
I really wouldn't worry about whether or not it's MLC. All modern SSDs last long enough for lifespan to become irrelevant.

>>58616661
No, I've done it plenty of times. And cloning program worth a shit will verify the drive cloned perfectly. From there it's trivial for windows to adjust to being on an SSD. No sweat.

>>58616886
Basically yeah, you will sooner change it because it's become too old to fit your needs rather than it dying

Okay, I reseated the display port cable, so far so good, before I only tried to push it in further without actually disconnecting it, it is a fucking shitty cable that I bought because there was the only one available on place without ordering online and having to wait
Another idea popped into my mind, when putting the motherboard, one little piece of metal of I/O shield instead of going around the I/O went inside and I only noticed it after assembling everything and can't be assed redoing everything again so I just bent it around the I/O shield, by my logic it shouldn't interfere with anything, but maybe I'm wrong ?
