If I rent a Linux server, can I use my own tools? I want to put up a golang webapp but I don't want to set up a home server.

>>58962398
yes, "server rental" usually means they automatically set up a server and give you root access to it.

I've got something I'd like to release online, but I don't want it to come back to me. Nothing illegal, just something I might not want some people to find out about.

Here's what I thought I'd do:

1.) Rent raspberry pi server from TPB guys, pay using bitcoins so it can't be traced back to me.

2.) Upload these files to the server, then seed on a public tracker

3.) wait until enough people have shared and are seeding the file, then disconnect from the swarm and kill the server

Does this sound about right?

>>58962398
I do believe what you described is the entire point of renting server space

>I know what JSON does but why would I ever need to use it?
JSON doesn't "do" anything. It's just a data format.

It's an acronym for JavaScript Object Notation. It's as widely used as it is because you can communicate between the client and the server directly in JSON so you don't need to change formats (as was done in yonder years with XML).

why not trust them?

Because that anon thinks we're trying to recommend some underpowered desktop. My intention with recommending the i3-6100/rx460 build was to keep the desktop cheap enough to also afford a decent laptop/Chromebook. Enough for school.

All up to you and your needs in the end. Do you need a more powerful desktop or a powerful laptop? $900 can get you a great desktop but no laptop. And vice versa.

What does "Core Data" mean in iOS development?

>>58962684
LineageOS *is* CyanogenMod. They just had to rename it because the Cyanogen brand name was owned by Cyanogen Inc, which went bankrupt - and thus that name is an asset that'll get sold off in liquidation. The open-source ROM is the same as it ever was, they just had to rebrand it and set up new infrastructure.

I don't think they even changed the version numbers, so its basically CM 14.1.

>>58962795
a.) should be more efficient if you expect to do more than one reverse lookup. b.) should be more efficient if you don't. If you're in case a.) you might consider just keeping two copies around and updating both whenever you insert or delete. Cause remember the whole point of bothering with a hash map is to get fast lookups.

Directories, presumably. You can't (or at least shouldn't) do that since it lets you create cycles in the directory tree (making it no longer a tree..) which can cause things that try to traverse the directory structure to get into infinite loops.

If there's glass shards sticking out of the screw, take a potato, cut it in half, and jam the flat surface of the halved potato into the shards. Unscrew.

>>58963166
No shards sticking out, just the metal part. And it's not protruding enough to stick a potato. Can't even grab it with my fingers.

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CoreData/index.html?utm_source=iosstash.io

tl;dr: core data is the label for the framework containing their database stuff, toolchain management, things like that. Any time you save user data in an iOS app you're generally using Core Data on the back end. Also hooks into their iCloud stuff more or less seamlessly so things like user settings get synced--that's Core Data

>>58963841

The Linux kernel is written in C.

The C language can be compiled to lots of architectures, like x86, x64, ARM, MIPS, and lots more.

To compile is to transform the code in commands the machine can understand (machine code).

So you just have to specify which architecture you are targeting and that's it! The compiler will output machine code accordingly (be it x86, ARM or anything else).

This might be a weird one. I'm trying to do some research for a project of mine and I can't figure out what a certain concept might be called.

It involves pic related where the squares might just be considered objects in an array and the arrows are just links to other objects in the array. I'm trying to make sure that ever array is accessible through a sort of network, but I don't know what this kind of idea is called to look up more information about implementations and algorithms. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you're more curious about why I'm doing this, it's to create a sort of generated hub world for a game. I'm trying to make sure that every area on the hub would be accessible if traveled while making sure it's not just a 1-1 connection, instead it would be closer to pic related.

I save the vast majority of my money. I am a very frugal person.
Just every once in a while, maybe once every 6 months or so, I feel like splurging on something.

Most modern ones can't iirc

>>58965398
More or less, I don't want to screw up my pc

>>58965362
How would you store all those references though?

>>58965456
But it should be outputting digital and the converter should be converting to analog...or not? I've tested it with discrete GPUs that only have digital outputs and it works...

What are the only specs that matter when it comes to GPUs?

Make life simple for me, /g/.

>>58965482
>converter
You called it an adapter before
If it's only a cable, it does not convert the signal, you will need to buy an actual converter

>>58965482
I doesn't have a external power source, maybe that particular GPU doesn't give it enough power over HDMI.

You could do an array of pointers for adjacent nodes instead of just a single in-out. Traversal would be a bitch but if I understand his needs correctly he shouldn't actually need to traverse the entire web, just know what areas are accessible from any given area.

>>58965458
You're looking for dual-booting.
There's tens of thousands of guides online for dual-booting any flavor of Linux with Windows 10.

The common wisdom is for Linux beginners to start with Ubuntu. Fedora is also a great starting point.

I'm not entirely sure what else I'm going to get, but I need a little advice.

Found a listing somewhere, I can get two Titan X Maxwells (12gb ea) sli for $1300. I can also get an Acer z35 for $600. Is this a good deal? What motherboard should I get? How much ram would I need? I'll be using it mainly for machine learning.

>>58965510
Shit, that makes sense. Now I have to do a return and wait for something else to ship AND I feel like an idiot for not thinking about that. Anyway, thanks /g/, and fuck GPUs that have DVI-D instead of DVI-I.

>>58965499
Architecture + number of cores. Everything else is noise.

Is it true that if you weren't dreaming in code from atleast age 11 then you will never ever be a good programmer, and should just give up and work in IT

>>58965532
Just a quick mock-up I did for what I was thinking:

Class MultiNode {
    ArrayList<MultiNode> adjacentNodes;
    
    public MultiNode(MultiNode parent) {
        adjancentNodes = new ArrayList<MultiNode>();
        adjacentNodes.add(parent);
    }
    public MultiNode() {
        adjacentNodes = new ArrayList<MultiNode>();
    }
    public void addNeighbor() {
        adjacentNodes.add(new MultiNode(this));
    }
    public MultiNode getNode(int num) {
        return adjacentNodes.get(num);
    }
    public int adjacentCount() {
        return adjacentNodes.size();
    }
}

Obviously you'd add more fields/methods based on what kind of data you want to keep in there.

>>58965499
You want to play games?
A I5.
Something that werks?
a Pentium.

Avoid AMD unless you are looking for an APU.

>>58965675
Oh yeah, obviously you'd want a method to link existing nodes together too, but you get the idea.

How to deal with duplicates?

>>58965499
It's like CPUs. You can't really directly compare them in any way except benchmarks. But this generation shits all over anything that came before. Otherwise one 1070 with a higher clock rate will be a little better than another 1070.

>>58965735
Depends on how much manual work you want to do.

Some manual work? Write a quick script to run the image through Google's reverse image lookup.
Organize all images that have the same results. Manually look through them to verify duplicates.

Anyone know why when I log into youtube it gives me this error then plays but uses the old player?

Firefox keeps crashing my streaming services with a WidevineCDM error, and everywhere I try to download it from apparently tries to give me a corrupt file. I deleted it from my appdata folder which did nothing to fix this issue. except prompt Hulu to ask me to "enable DRM", at which point the files reappear in their appdata locations and still refute any attempt to download a replacement. Help?

>>58966812
That's happen because an error ocurred, you dumbass.

It looks like the distro doesn't ship with support for proprietary drivers/firmware. Its likely that your card's software isn't foss.

Is my monitor now broken?

It got wet by accident and now it has these two lines, I opened it up and wiped everything that seems damp and wet but the two lines still won't disappear.

I have this guy from 1992. Win 3.1 and MS-DOS 6 are on it. I want to be able to connect to the Internet from it. My router only has Ethernet out (no modem out) and I found little information on how I would go about connecting the two. It does have a parallel port out, so maybe that could be used? I am willing to buy some stuff, like if I have to buy a modem to connect in between my router and this PC that's fine.

I have dynamic IP: any trick to I can choose the IP?

What's the go-to Windows 7 antivirus now? It was Malwarebytes last I heard, but I've also heard that Avast bought them?

None of that works. VPN isn't really an option for me.

I'll probably just move to a better area soon. This place fucking sucks for a variety of reasons.

Umm hello? Is there something else I need to do?

>>58969759
mpv.conf is the config file.

%appdata% is some windows specific garbo.

>>58969789
Well I remember going into %appdata% and changing the default volume there clearly. I also literally copied and pasted my old appdata folder so I dunno why it won't work now.

I just make a mpv.conf in the .exe folder or inside some lua-settings mumbo jumbo folder then?

>>58969815
Maybe.

Been thinking of buying this server for the following, mumble server, gitlab server, nextcloud server and maybe a starbound game server - all would be hosted through a VPN my main question is how much electricity would this use per year (UK, roughly)

>>58969815
Maybe.
I only ever used mpv portable on windows.

With a 150W power supply running under full load (worst case scenario) 24/7 all year you should expect something like 1,3MWh of energy used every year.

>>58969701
You could either use a cheap seedbox or try tribler

>>58969879
ok so 1300 kWh x 0.20 (most expensive per kWh tarriff in the uk) £260 per year -- that seems a bit much should I consider making a raspi cluster since they're £5 a year to run

>>58969920
Each rbpi will cost you something around 110kWh a year (recommended power supply is something like 13W).

VPSes exist for a reason anon, consider purchasing one for your more intensive tasks and use the rbpi for the shit you don't care about.

My new monitor doesnt look as good under Linux as it does under windows.
The contrast is way too hard.
Turning down contrast in the monitor settings doesn't do shit.
Is there a programm that can fix this? running unity.

>>58970025
Forgot to add:
It's a monitor with a 3000:1 Contrast ratio. I do a lot of image work on it and it has a "low blacks" setting.
When I switch it to normal, it looks normal like before.
The issue is just I lose detail when editing photos.

I just downloaded tons of ebooks from dc++. How do I sort them? Is there an automatic way?

>>58967933
it does block flipbuilder, turbo, and spoon(whatever the fuck those are). The script is safe to use.

Thank you

I plan buying a new laptop and I am really interested in the new Dell XPS 15 9560 (http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-15-9560-laptop/pd?oc=cax15w10p7s1610&model_id=xps-15-9560-laptop).

- Is there a better alternative for that performance/price ratio ?

- How hard is it to put in more RAM ?

- This laptop is shipped with Windows 10 installed on it. Is the warranty voided if I plan to wipe the SSD and install something else instead ? If so, what can I do if I want to get rid of Windows but still want to be covered by the warranty if anything bad happens ? Like cloning the Windows partition and keeping it somewhere safe and back it up when needed ?

- Is it easily Hackintoshable ? I would like to work on a "mainstream OS" (and that's not Windows) without having to buy an MBP for double the price and half the performance.

Thanks

OK I'm an idiot and I managed to fuck up my authui.dll in windows7 in my system32
So my login screen does not work anymore, it's completely black but my cursor is there and works, I'm also not able to type in my password.
It's the same in safe mode.
Is there a way of fixing this without using recovery via USB?

Find another Windows 7 PC and copy it over.

>>58967933
>http://pastebin.com/VmQgUkdv
only concern is the

 attrib +r +h C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts 

which makes it read-only and hidden, shouldn't be any need for that

>>58970701
Illiterate here, can I just use a Linux live usb to access my files and copy it over?

>>58971359
Yes, although if you can just send windows back to a restore point, that would probably be easiest

>>58971372
Alright thanks anon, once I get access to another computer I'll try it, if it's completely fucked I'll just system restore
