Does Exodus use exclusively streaming, or torrents as well? How would one know if playing content is torrent or stream?

Would an isp give somebody a strike for excessive streaming?

Are used Macbooks a shitty investment? I need a decent computer for music production and having done quite a bit of research I feel paralyzed by knowledge.

I love linux but the DAW I wish to use is not native there.
Windows 10 is hideous and in my experience a resources hog (am I wrong?) compared to the Linux distros I've used, but everything works on it.
Mac """"""just works""""" but the hardware you get seems unimpressive for the price. And the new Macbooks have that weird lack of ports which I find off putting.

I wish some one would just tell me what to do. I just want a system that doesnt get in the way of me recording and ultra low latency and the ability to use Reaper.

Dear god I am beaten.

There isn't really a good or standard answer to "how do I into libraries" in C-land.

I personally store external deps in my source tree and build static libraries on all platforms, because dynamic linking is a retarded idea that seriously needs to die. On the other hand, if you want to have your program packaged by a major Linux distro you will almost certainly have to support dynamic linking.

As to what your folder structure looks like, who cares? You have worse problems to deal with.

The MBP can go to 16GB ram, and as much ssd as you can afford.
That said, I think of it as equivalent to the equivalent to the base 2016 MB.
So as long as that lasts.

I think the usb3.0 makes it viable.
The usb3.0 runs at 5Gbps... which matches the speed of current MBs.
(Current MBPs are 10Gbps.)

I found this guide http://smallbusiness.chron.com/change-background-picture-custom-tumblr-theme-31421.html but still without working (maybe I doing somethig wrong)

Anyway, some can tell me how the fuck I should paste that code in the tumblr's html? I'm a fucking neophyte related with html code.

ok guys so omegle has a shit bot detection system
basically after a certain amount of chats in a certain time frame, it will detect you as a bot and make you solve a captcha after each chat
the problem is 75% of users are horny dudes who will disconnect on you in 2 seconds, so you inevitably have to start solving captchas even if you're just a regular user
which makes the site unusable because now you have to solve a captcha every 2 seconds
how would one get around this?

Any other solution? Besides clean installing W7 again.

>>58862372

>>58862351
I don't think fdisk will resize your filesystem for you.
You'll have to do this manually first, before using fdisk.

Alternatively you could look for something that handles filesystem resizing and partitioning in one.
parted/gparted/something with a nice gui, maybe.

>>58861789
It works! Thanks pal.

>>58862423
I tried gparted, but it can't resize my partition because I'm using the partition to run Ubuntu, if that makes sense.

>>58862831
Do you mean without an OS already on the USB? You can install one on it at the library.

no the computer HDD and SSD don't have anything other than the BIOS they came with. I used Rufus to put Ubuntu onto the USB as ISO but it just keeps giving me a "ignoring bgrt: failed to map image memory" error. I'm not sure if it's the USB or if I set it up on the USB wrong, or if it was possible at all without having a pre-installed OS

>>58862870
I'm not trying to be pretentious, it's just all I listen to. I've watched a few reviews and they mention pop music, not having enough bass etc, which doesn't really apply to me (I like the Smiths tho)

Also I've never used Open-back headphones; I listen to music fairly softly in general, would it be noticeable to someone sitting across a few desks in a library?

>>58862897
You can definitely install without another os on either the HDD or SDD. You most likely messed up the install on the USB. That's okay though, I always do that a few times. Test it before you wreck it. So, back to the point

This is definitely a dumb question but I'm coming from Python so I don't know any better.

I'm learning C, and I'm wondering about compiling with libraries. Say I wanted to do a simple network request so I utilize the existing libcurl library. It's installed and included and all that.

After compiling the executable, will I still need libcurl installed for the program to function correctly?

What I'm wondering is, does the compiler get all the necessary parts into the executable, or will other libraries (external of the executable) still be required for operation?

You could use Avast free instead if you prefer, I'm using it now and find it to be pretty good.

>After compiling the executable, will I still need libcurl installed for the program to function correctly?

If you statically link the library, then the library will end up in your binary, and you will not need libcurl installed on your target system.
If you dynamically link the library, then your binary will search the computer for the library, and so you will need libcurl installed on your target system.

The advantage of dynamic linking is that a security update of libcurl doesn't force a new release of your binary.

When you package your binary for a distribution, you can specify libcurl as a dependency and the packaging system will make sure it is installed.

>>58864098
The power output is comparable to a single dim LED, and it's unfocused. How much warmth do you feel if you squeeze an LED? That's all you're getting from the gamepad, and it's unfocused. Radio can only warm tissue, nothing else. Higher power levels can cause inflammation, or even burns and nerve damage, but the intensity here is far too low to register on anything not specifically tuned to its wavelength.

Does that not mean that the file needs to be loaded from the drive and into ram? Shoudlnt that cause a slow down at least at start up?

Hey /consumer electronics/, I want a new used phone and I'm looking at the LG g5 and v10. They're both about the same price with similar enough specs, the biggest difference being the LTE FDD/TDD bands they can access. The g5 has like 7 more FDD bands than the v10 but it has 2 more TDD bands. Both can use all of the bands for my carrier but I'm curious which of these would be more important/better for future proofing and speed between TDD and FDD?

>>58864548
Yeah maybe a little, but it's not like your computer isnt loading a ton of other stuff at start aswell so that shouldnt be very noticable, might just take a couple seconds extra for the background to appear.

>>58864559
Does it need to be held in ram? Meaning on a 1 GB system, you would be cutting your usable ram in half by using a 500MB background image?

I have an old Pentium 3 sitting on my desk, a NEC PowerMate ES something 800MHz. Is there any way to format this piece of shit that doesn't involve CDs? The USB ports don't seem to have boot capacities, I have no CDs, and I don't have either floppies or any other PC with a floppy drive. I also have no other PC with IDE ports so formatting the disk in another computer is not possible. Am I screwed? By the way, the captcha works perfectly on Firefox 4.0 if anyone's wondering.

>>58864577
Well any electronics brand matters a little. There's sublte differences in build quality, and also design choices. Dell for instance tends to have better keyboards, but thats a personal preference. HP has a rep for breaking a little easier, lenovo are dicks about the malware they throw in

>>58864611

any of you guys in pc repair? what's the procedure if you're repairing a laptop or something and you accidentally damage it? do you charge the customer more for the replacement part or do you cover it? also what if you damage the motherboard or something and it's beyond repair?

>>58864635
It's 4:42AM over here. I'm looking for a quick ghetto way to do it. If I have to wait until a PC parts store opens to buy an IDE adapter I might as well just go buy a bunch of CDs once the stationery store opens.

What are your thoughts on cellphones/smartphones?

>>58864653
i think you'll have more use of an adapter unless you can get CDs for under $5

maybe poke a round the web to see if it's possible to boot your mobo off USB

>>58864651
are you a cunt or a good person?

>>58864679
they're neat as long as it's not locked down and you can replace battery

>>58864653
Have you checked your bios settings to see if there's an option for usb boot? Often times that's what makes the difference

>>58864611
Does it boot?
Do you have another IDE drive kicking around?
Can it boot off the network?

The easy option is to get some blank CDs or an IDE adapter.

>>58864641
No.
People can see CC, but not BCC.

>>58864798
It boots, and it has Windows XP. It's filled to the brim with shit though and it's lagging the fuck out even with just 4chan and nothing else open. I don't think I have another IDE drive but I might have one somewhere that I didn't even remember. It has the option for network boot but when I activated it, it didn't even try to network boot, it just skipped right to HDD boot which was supposed to be the last one. I might not have configured it right.

>>58864842
>I might not have configured it right.
yup

>>58864842
>It's filled to the brim with shit
Hook it up to your network and dump some of that on another computer to try to free up some space.
Then try defragging it.
And putting a new partition in the free space.
Then installing an OS in the new partition.

If the drive already has a couple of partitions then you don't have to bother the defrag step.

>>58864899
>lagging the fuck out

Hey,

I bought an msi mobo which arrived DOA. When I repackaged the mobo for return shipment I tired to re apply the processor socket cover and accidentaly I bent some of the needles in the socket.

How fucked am I? Are they going to say it was my fault now even if it was DOA before arrival? Or can I claim that i received it with the bent needles if they raise stink about that.

I am really annoyed with the whole situation,and now having a broken mobo sent to me leads to me having to pay for a new one would be really shitty.

Thoughts?

>>58865237
Where did you buy from?

>>58865261
From a big local online store (country in western Europe)

>>58865222
>>58865229
Don't think so since Clonezilla won't overwrite any data if I remember. I also made sure the the image it writes to is the external, but I will double check now.

Yep, HDD is still not full(but close by like less than 30gb) and I can see on my external the attempts I have made.

So what's going on?

I have no idea really.

>>58865388
Probably not. Nothing stupidly beefy, at the very least.
It's nice to have something that can be updated and run a scan if need be. But, if all you do on a certain PC is use a small amount of software + shitpost, it could turn into more of a nuisance.

>>58865454
Basically all I do on this computer is shitpost, listen to music/watch videos, use Steam the odd time, and torrent. I figure you really just need the AV for torrenting maybe (?)

UPDATE:

I managed to bend the pins so that it looks almost like new. From most perspectives it looks fine, and only in certain light can you see some small irregularity in the pins. It is so small that if the mobo wasnt DOA it probably would work like this.

So I guess I am now at the mercy of how anal/thorough they are at the store.

Which torrent software should I be using?

I'm currently using uTorrent 2.2.1 since the private tracker that I use most says it's a good version and the last version that they like. That said, it's old and I'm paranoid about security.

>>58865545
We use Ubuntu and Debian, mostly.

>>58865512
Nope.
I do not. And this is brand new.
I guess I could, but it is brand new. I mean I got it today. It seemed to take 86gb 7z compression just fine earlier. Took hours but no issues. Not sure why Clonezilla would be an issue.

>>58865617
I would run memtest.
Do a filesystem scan on the external.
And do a filesystem scan on the internal.

I'd then boot up a linux live cd/usb and see what tools they have for cloning.

>>58865617
If you think it's a usb drive disconnecting problem.

(1)
Try writing a script that touch a file on the external every 60 seconds to see if that keeps it connected.

while : ; do touch /path/to/file ; sleep 60 ; done ;

(2)
Not doing anything with the external while clonezilla is running, like opening a file, or even just browsing the drive.

Does the external have its own power brick?

>>58865570
transmission

>>58865674
>>58865739
Thanks for the suggest guys. I was running a copy of parted magic that I think is somewhat dated. I decided to download whatever the latest copy of Clonezilla is, in case it is different, and install it to a usb. If this gives me the same problem, I'll be trying your suggestions to see what might be the problem.
I started it in before I saw either post so I don't want to stop it now.

>>58865739
Though for your last question, yes. The external has it's own power brick. It's a WD Element.

Hey /g/oyims,

Was wondering if there are any New Zealanders, specifically Aucklanders on here who know if there's a way to get the AThop card (Auckland Transport) to be written onto an fc/rfid tag.

I myself would install the 64 bit. Yet that is me thinking "What if I install more RAM." and you can still install 32bit programs non the less on a 64 Windows OS. I'm sure there are some programs that are 64bit only, but I can't think of any right now. If there are any anyways.

What's the best distro for home servers? I'm already considering Plex or Ampache as I'll be using it as a music server. Ideally it should have a web interface that is platform agnostic, one that won't shit the bed when 500GB+ of music is passed into it.

Only one foreseeable problem: a good 90% of the audio is FLAC so I'd need something that can encode on the fly, is this viable with the system constraints (Low end Celeron, 220/20 connection) or should I just bulk encode it all to OGG/Vorbis?

Is it possible to change the color of yt subs? ni cant read this at all

I have this odd problem with my internet.
I get my internet over powerline, however every now and then, my internet will go down. I used to think this was a problem with my router, and waited like a minute or two until it was back. However recently I found out I can practically instantly by plugging my ethernet cable out of the powerline adapter, waiting for a few seconds then plugging it back in.
Is this just a problem with bad powerline adapters or some shit?

while browsing firefox,especially 4chan the browser will randomly copy and paste something into whatever I'm viewing, usually like a last tap or picture.

What is going on? is it a virus or just firefox is just utterly shit now. Because it's also slow when loading up pictures. I have no problems with chrome

Provider somehow able to report URLs I visited. What should I change? I already use OpenDNS public DNS and HTTPS Everywhere.

>>58866754
>Because it's also slow when loading up pictures.
is this everywhere or just on 4chan?
gookmook is just fucking up 4chan so a lot of the images load slowly now

that does sound like a virus, but it doesn't seem to have a goal as far as I can tell which is really weird

maybe it's actually just your computer that's broken

i updated my yt3-850l to marshmallow and now it cant find any bluetooth devices. neither my keyboard k380 nor my smartphone.
is there an app or any way to let it find it? i dont wanna return to lollipop again...

My question is more of a - does this product even exist type of thing, i couldnt find what i was looking for on google so i came here,

pretty much what i want is a small form factor audio transmitter (but this term seems to be used for a device which isnt at all what i want) that'd plug into the aux output from my pc (may be the wrong term) and send to another form factor reciever that i'd plug my headphones into.

pretty much sometimes i feel like playing a video / listening to music on my pc and doing other various tasks away from my pc

>>58866871
It could be it. I disabled my GPU to install a new one and it's been doing that ever since.

>>58866971
so what, you want to make your headphones wireless? That exists

if not, not sure what you're asking

>>58867033
pretty much i often have to buy cheap earphones as even with expensive variants my neglect breaks them, what i want is to be able to plug into my pc a small device that'd take the audio and send to another small device that i could plug my earphones into to listen to the audio while being mobile, could you possibly link me to some products?/

>>58867033
sorry i should have said earphones not headphones, since i only buy cheap ones they dont have a removable aux wire so the earphones would have to plug into a device rather than having a device that'd plug into the aux input on regular headphones

Say I get a cheap SPDIF switch on Amazon. (With the intent of connecting multiple game consoles and media devices to a single DAC's SPDIF input port) Will this degrade the audio in any way?

Assuming it shouldn't since it's all digital at this stage, but not sure if my cheap piece of shit switcher will be built in such a way that it still manages to fuck it up somehow.

>>58867052
there's millions of those

There are other models that included features like IR remote but I think this one is best since it is a physical switch so it shouldn't have any time delay and less likelihood of signal being degraded than if it is being translated electronically?

>>58867086
Even with that search i cant find what it is that i want, all these options seem to plug into headphones or involve soldering inside of earphones

>>58866372
Your best bet is probably Ampache or Supersonic, though I'm not sure how well they would run on your low end piece of shit. How much RAM does it have?
Distro doesn't really matter, honestly. You should just go with Debian unless there's a good reason to bother with anything else.

>>58867179
that's odd, I assume there would be versions where you stick a 3.5mm into
I assume they still exist but I guess you need some different search terms then?

>>58866902
no bluetooth expert here?

>>58867219
They still unfortunately dont seem suitable, the device the audio would be coming from wouldnt be bluetooth compatible so i wanted a device that'd receive the audio (through the aux) and then send it over its own bluetooth to a receiver that my earphones would be plugged into

Are items fulfilled by Amazon (but sold by a third party seller) eligible for Amazon's returns policy? Or would I have to deal with the seller if something goes wrong with the item?

>>58867285

I don't think there's like a single package that has both

I'm not well versed in network security is there a way I could maybe jumble data on a separate router that sort of tricks the ISP into seeing what I'm doing?

Why is it often the case whenever you update your Linux system that there are some files supposedly set to wrong permission, and the install changes?

Do maintainers always get it wrong or something?

the only way to "jumble" data is to encrypt it, in which case a VPN is the easiest solution.

If I add an repeater will it use twice the data? I have a data cap. Or will it just halve the network bandwidth?

>>58868818
neither, it will make your network area bigger. try reading the fucking description for it u tard.

>>58868563
That's DE job.
Use KDE.

My internet speed is only 600kbps, when it used to be 5mbps, I reinstalled windows 7 and its drivers (my pc is connected to the router via wifi) and nothing. It is not a router problem since the speed is fine in my linux external HDD. Could it be the BIOS or something?

>>58869011
oh and sometimes it fixes itself for a couple of minutes and then it goes slow again.

I installed windows 7 on my SSD and it blue screens when it says starting windows. How can I fix this?

So recently I installed a new hard drive into my computer. It's an old HD with some files leftover in it.
The computer I'm currently using has both windows and linux installed and chooses between them with GRUB.
I want to have another version of windows installed. Will GRUB be able to handle that?
Do I have to format the new hdd?

Why can't you open a .jar file just by double clicking when you have JRE and JDK installed?

>>58869060
Because their thing needs arguments to know it's a jar even though it's in the file name.

Though you could probably do Open with... and then a batch file with the proper arguments couldn't you?

Is it possible to remote control an Android device? I mean something like team viewer on PC. My grandma has a tablet and she constantly has very simple issues with it. So instead of me wasting 6 hours on commute to fix a small issue i would like to just access her tablet remotely.

Try Airdroid

>>58869055
Windows don't like grub and most likely will delete it, when you install windows after linux.
In such case, you'd need to re-install grub.

>>58869152
Will grub be able to find the other partitions after it is reinstalled?

>>58869165
Yes.
It will re create each OS entry.

I don't think that's quite what i'm looking for.
The screenshot feature is somewhat good so i could like call her and dictate what to do over the phone but having direct control over the device would be better since she is completely tech illiterate.

Do you have Cable?

>>58869052
Reinstall. Make sure the ISO you used is OK.

>>58869314
get a dumbphone

>>58869349
I would have to buy a long enough cable so it would reach the computer from the router, so I can't test the ethernet port of my computer

Someone explain to me whats intels optane memory.

>>58862145
Get Malwarebytes son

>>58869374
no, not a physical cable you tard, the internet technology you use to connect to the internet, like DSL or Fiber, there is something called cable.

just call your ISP and ask why your speed goes up and down. but if you have CABLE connection you share your network with the whole neighborhood so you can only get UP TO 5Mbit when no one else is using their internet

>>58869417
This has nothing to do with my ISP, it works fine in linux but not on windows 7 as I explained in my first post.

I have an asus p8p67 board with some gpu (hd 6970?, can't check right now), installed void linux on it, but still want to play vidya. Heard of pci passthrough to a windows vm and want to get an extra gpu for my host system. Want to spend as little as possible for a pci.e 2.0 card (x8 slot I think); hd 6450?

What does this mean? what kind of encryption is this?

>>58868762
Yeah but with a VPN I'm really just trusting someone else with my data in addition to my ISP right? There is really nothing stopping the VPN from just lying and doing what they want with your information

>>58869452
oh sorry i missed that part. you probably have virus then (if it's not some updates sucking bandwidth, so turn of windows update).
reboot into safemod with network and run some scans. or just format.

>>58869457
does your hardware support passthru?

>>58869467
This is some kinda hash. The value on the right might be the salt?

>>58869496

>>58869494
>in addition to my ISP
Your ISP cant see what you're doing because it's encrypted.
If you get a trusted VPN host (check torrentfreak, i think they still keep a list of good ones) they dont monitor you and they dont save any info about you.

>>58869514
what did you reply to? pls greentext so i know what we're talking about

>>58869494

Instead of. VPNs are encrypted, your ISP won't see shit.

yasss

>>58869496
but I did a fresh install of windows so I don't think it can be a virus and it can't be windows update either because it would slow the tests on my phone. I really don't know what it is.

>>58869550
have you updated network drivers?
turn off all other devices that use the same network.

>>58869566
I will check the motherboard drivers, thanks

>>58869508
How do i decrypt this?

>>58869467
3 values: IP(?), some hash and I think you can't figure out what encryption it is just by looking at and (maybe?) a salt as the other anon pointed out.

>>58869529
>>58869494
>choose a vpn
that one privacy guy has a neat, always up-to-date list of ratings for all (major) vpns

>>58869605
You have to know the encryption. You can't really guess it by just staring at one hash.
