How do I write unit tests? Is the idea just to check all relevant test/edge cases and check if you get the desired outcome?

The gut reaction wants to say that if you can only check cases you know about, which are probably going to pass anyway because you know about them... but I guess the idea is to be able to run the tests so that you know if something fucks it up in the future, not necessarily while you're writing it, yes?

>>59044257

You take a function, you feed it a set of inputs, and you check the outputs to ensure that they are what they are supposed to be.

It's simple. You can't expect to cover all cases, yes. However, most software projects will add new test cases whenever they fix a bug.

>>59044043
You can use GitHub Pages if your project is a simple HTML page, just commit the changes and it updates the website. Otherwise, Hostinger has a free plan for web hosting (html, php and mysql) but it has a limited bandwidth, if you just want to keep your simple website running 24/7, go with GitHub Pages.

I use an HDMI splitter specifically to undercut HDCP because fuck it, that's why. I'd also like to introduce a switch into the mix though. Is there any way to know if the two would play nice together? Any issues with HDCP, or introducing some amount of latency?

>>59045276
Check the ryzen general to get your fix. It wont be too long though. Even if you won't be able to afford a vega, the current GPUs will begin falling in price.

>>59045272
If you put your splitter (that strips HDCP) before the switch, it will work fine. Any switch that is built properly will not introduce perceivable latency. If you're worried about that, try a more direct route to your display.

Anyone have experience mounting USB fans to TVs? My monitor has a pretty common issue with it's type, and the only solution besides sending it back to Sony (way out of warranty) is to hook up a cooling fan to the back.

What the fuck is wrong with the Windows store? I can't get it to download consistently. Or at half my available download speed. I've tried turning the p2p update shit on and off, clearing the catch and running the Windows store repair tool.

It goes 'steady' for a while but always inevitably stalls out and drops down to zero. Downloading a fucking 50GB game is painful enough with my shit internet without me having to click pause and resume every 10min to get it to start again.

Also while I was typing this post the entire download seems to have reset itself. Fantastic. I'm so glad I brought a separate SSD for this piece of shit OS rather than "upgrading".

if you're a normie: reinstall but partition the drive before hand

if you're not a normie: copy the bootloader off of the system reserved partition (google it) then delete the partition, resize the other one

it's probably just easier to reinstall

if you want to disable cpu cores for that boot session, kernel parameter maxcpus

if you want to move tasks to a different cpu: google linux cpu affinity (or taskset)

if you want to "isolate" cpu cores from the rest of the system, look into the kernel parameter isolcpus, however if a process is spawned on a cpu kernel code must also be ran on that core; if you do use isolcpus the 'numactl' command won't work, it's similar to taskset so maybe look into that too

if you just want a lightweight linux distro look into a lightweight linux distro, use a lightweight de/wm (tiling wms work), or don't use x, compile your own kernel removing options you don't want, etc, using "less cpu" is a misnomer, it's using it on something

>>59046986
I'm not sure if the command string is standardized accross all Windows versions, but

start /min [exe]

works for me.

You can also try
start [exe] --new-window/min

And you can try looking at the second google result in addition to the first.

>>59047055
Yeah I found that on google but the thing is that another program starts the program I want to start minimized, I wanted to maybe edit the registry but the program doesn't have one, maybe I can create a registry?

>>59047028
DNSs will essentially have every single domain-IP link (the size of the map is easily within the storage capacity of a single server) and it can take a while for an IP change or a new link to propagate throughout the system.

Similar to the way IP addresses are routed through the internet, DNS propagation is a huge clusterfuck whose exact mechanisms will change from ISP to ISP and from their ISP to ISP. Each top-level domain (.com, .org, etc) is managed by a specific authority, but how THEY actually delegate the changes is as much a business question as it is a networking question, and ISPs will probably get in contact with a middle-man who manages all the interactions rather than dealing with each top-level domain directly.

You just need EasyBCD and a good partition manager. It's actually pretty easy. Just takes a few minutes once you know what to do.

>>59047101
All programs are started from a command string and a Window Context at some level, so you shouldn't be afraid to use those.

If you wanted to change it so the program will by default start with a certain command string, I believe the Compability properties of an exe (run as administrator, etc) are stored using the Registry. A little googling shows me in Windows7 it was in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

I'm not sure if it's different for Windows 8+, but a little googling from that launch-point should help some:

Guys, I've been learning HTML-CSS-JS for roughly 2 days so far, and I'm still struggling trying to understand how divs and generally document "structure" works, well maybe not necessarily document structure (because it's rather obvious) but more correct said objects' placement within body section - no clue if that's a good way to call it though. I mean just take a look at the following example - it's taken from one of free templates you can find at w3schools.

I understand that the website is divided into elements, that indicate where certain things such as logo, menu etc. should show up, the problem is that I don't really understand how it's done (I know that it's all about css however I still cannot find any entries regarding positoning in w3 official .css file) and why those divs have some weird classes alligated to them? I know that the question is rather dumb but I really need help with this one ;_;.

It may help if your laptop's built in wifi isn't powerful enough, is having a hard time getting good reception, and the usb adapter is significantly better. Or if your integrated wifi is using a crappy standard like 802.11g or a 2.4ghz frequency in an area with high competition, and the usb has something better.

Then the VPN could stop working and you wouldn't know it. Your computer would just start doing stuff over your regular internet, possibly without even notifying you. A killswitch or firewall configuration prevents this, and most VPN windows clients include some option for it

using a external hdd and raspberry pi as samba file share. I don't have a recycle bin on hdd so every file i delete a can't restore.
How can I fix this?

Why exactly is it a bad thing to use a hdtv as a monitor? Every time it's brought up I see nothing but shitposting and no one really ever explains why. I'm assuming it's an input lag issue.

>>59048376
yeah that's what I figured it meant but on the PIA software the warnings when turning it on were so severe it confused me.

but I got it on now, everything seems to be working. I guess I'm not "on multiple network interfaces" or whatever

>>59048451
Yeah, things like VM tap adapters or ICS can make things a little complicated. If you don't know what those are, you're probably fine just enabling the firewall/killswitch.

You could always tweet at Snowden, asking him to give Wire a shoutout, lol.

>>59048599
However your vpn provider does it. Killswitch and firewall are just two different ways to tackle the same problem. Firewall is technically more foolproof, but in your case it shouldn't matter.

Update integrated graphics drivers, install GPU drivers directly from Nvidia website. Make sure monitor is not attacted to mobo.

>>59048818
Its something with the display driver, right now the graphics card can display to the monitor through a standard vga driver but as soon as i install the nvidia one windows cannot load. And im not sure if this is a hardware issue or what. I haven't tried putting the GPU into a different PCI slot or anything of that nature yet.

From Wikipedia: A single point in time can be represented by concatenating a complete date expression, the letter T as a delimiter, and a valid time expression. For example, "2007-04-05T14:30".

The T doesn't stand for anything, it simply separates the date and time so you don't get them messed up.

>>59048942
I unironically recommend picking up desks off the side of the road and fixing them up. It depends on where you live but I've gotten a couple good desks this way desu.

It means "time". It's used to separate the date from the time.

If an ISO file of installation media, such as Linux distro or Windows, is burnable to CD/DVD.
Will dd the ISO to a USB flash drive will result in bootable USB? or do I need to use something like rufus or unetbootin?

>>59049454
>Any higher?

depends entirely on the size of the heatsink you put on it

in general ambient temperature, the size of the heatsink, the amount of forced air cooling (fans in the case or on the heatsink) and cpu load all affect temperature

server cpu heatsinks tend to be 'fanless' but they have VERY powerful case fans and are in cooler environments, low power media pcs can get away with a single case fan or none at all, etc, unless you decide to run prime95 or something that is

>>59049740
I'd recommend using a software to download the ISO on to your USB. More often than not it's not bootable if you just move it with archive manager or other things like it.

>>59049790
You don't need a special software when burning the ISO to CD/DVD.
Doesn't this means that the ISO is bootable?

>Will dd the ISO to a USB flash drive will result in bootable USB?

most of the time 'dd if=img of=/dev/whatever' with no other arguments should work, some distros don't like it if you start messing with blocksize, but almost all distros should tell you how to write an image to usb with dd or with an appropriate windows tool on their installation documentation

>or Windows

making a bootable windows iso from linux is a nightmare, google how to do it

making a windows usb from windows can be done by using windows usb/dvd tool

>or do I need to use something like rufus or unetbootin?

usually gives best results but be mindful if a distro puts out their own tool as it'll work better (fedora has liveusb-creator for windows/linux for instance)

>>59049842
>dd linux ISO
I kinda figured that out, even arch recommend that and says it's faster.
>messing with blocksize
Why is that?
>Windows from linux?
Why is it a nightmare?
Burning the ISO to DVD works fine, and online guides recommend using unetbootin.
Does that mean it add something to the USB flash drive? like MBR?
>windows USB/DVD tool
Why DVD tool?
I thought Win7 supported burning ISOs.

>>59049925
making a bootable windows 7 flashdrive on linux isnt that hard if you just follow the steps correctly. You could run into some issues depending on your USB, having to fuck with partitions and such.

>>59049954
So any ISO should work if burned to DVD.
Unless the ISO is hybrid ISO, it won't work if it got dd to the USB flash drive.

>>59049925
>and online guides recommend using unetbootin.
>Does that mean it add something to the USB flash drive? like MBR?

it does, unetbootin adds its own bootloader (or creates a mbr) to the usb and I assume it just chainloads the windows iso off of that

manually writing a bootable windows usb it's a nightmare because at the very least you can't just dd the image to the usb, you need to partition it correctly and copy the files over

if you're making a windows 8/10 usb and you plan to boot it from a uefi motherboard, it should just work once you copy the files over (unless you have a very early uefi motherboard that doesn't handle multiple efi options well, you'd likely know if this was the case), see the uefi option here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/289559/how-can-i-create-a-windows-bootable-usb-stick-using-ubuntu

but if you want to make a windows 7 bootable usb you need a tool like ms-sys to create a mbr and then copy the files over
an example guide would be: https://thornelabs.net/2013/06/10/create-a-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive-in-linux.html

some other guides even suggest installing grub to the usb just to boot windows! an absolutely ridiculous amount of effort just to boot windows

however unetbootin should do this automatically for you, so just use unetbootin for future reference

and for some context: most linux isos tend to have grub on the iso already so they work when written to a cd/dvd or to a usb

to answer an earlier question of yours
>Or does the BIOS handle Optic drive differently regarding booting?

usbs act like hdds on most modern motherboards (usbhdd in bios, just as a hdd on uefi mobos (maybe with a usb: prefix), I don't know why cd/dvds are treated differently

>Why DVD tool?
>I thought Win7 supported burning ISOs.

I think that came with windows 8? either way the windows usb dvd tool will create a bootable windows usb (the name dvd in this case is confusing because it refers to the windows dvd iso, not to write the image to a dvd)

>>59050467
You can through usb c

>>59050198
>If I want to connect a SSD to this. Are all the ports I circled fine or is one better than the others?

usually the intel (or amd) chipset provide a limited amount of sata ports, however sometimes motherboard manufacturers add additional sata ports from chipsets provided by 3rd party vendors (marvell is a big one, others may be from asrock or other vendors)

there shouldn't be a difference in performance or how they work but you'd probably want your boot drive and any additional extra drives you can fit connected to the intel chipset, the motherboard might not support booting off of any drives connected to the marvel chipset

I didn't think this warranted it's own thread, so I decided to ask here first. I'm looking to get a tablet for under $200. I've narrowed it down to two, and I would like any help or suggestions if there's any better alternatives. Thanks in advance.

I think it would be simpler to have an external optic drive in that case then.
Since all ISOs are bootable if you burn it directly.

Wire makes big claims, but there's a vague air of shadiness in the way they've handled things, and the sense that they're in way over their heads. It's like they're making the No Mans Sky of secure chat programs.

Their code is very poorly written from a security stand point, which would probably be acceptable for your average offline program, but is the exact opposite of what you want on something that's responsible for permanently securing your messages against future attacks. They also send plain text passwords to the server, rely on poorly chosen protocols, include closed source dependencies, and their "end-to-end, encrypted, open source" desktop application downloads most of the code it uses on the fly as a webapp every time it launches

The only way the negotiation could be intercepted, modified, and retransmitted would be with a publicly signed certificate. Their voice and video chat is still end-to-end encrypted. Let’s say for example that the government (or someone else) could get a signed certificate for Wire’s domain. There is absolutely nothing the client could do to trust it. The only way to prevent it is with certificate pinning.

I don’t think you explained this too well. The session negotiation is already encrypted to and from the server. There is no way to “encrypt” on top of this without an out-of-band key negotiation, in which itself can be compromised just like the DTLS is now. All voice traffic is still end-to-end encrypted, but there is still a point of trust in the system. In this case, it is the publicly signed certificate fronting their http traffic.

Imagine the scenario of end-to-end encrypted text messaging (WhatsApp, iMessage, etc). There is still a central server with all of the public keys of the other people. When you send a message, you encrypt it using their public key and only they can decrypt it. If the WhatsApp or iMessage server’s database was changed to use a different public key, you would be encrypting the message for someone else. There is always a point of trust in any security system.

>>59051095
That actually wasn't one of the points I addressed, but it is also concerning. In order for voice and video to be truly "end-to-end encrypted", wire themselves have to be unable to do a man in the middle attack. Otherwise you're just trusting an operator the same as you would with facebook or any other service. There's no system, as with Signal, to share locally generated keys manually or use oral key verification. The system is just designed to trust the Wire servers, which makes their E2EE claims technically true but effectively worthless.

Which is great if you're someone who wants to run their own server. Might eventually make a good alternative to mumble or XMPP. But it still doesn't solve their own fundamental problem. Whatever code they claim to run on their server, we have no way of verifying. The whole basis of their claim is that two clients can communicate without having to trust the server in between. There are already countless federated servers out there, many of which have better reasons to be trusted than wire swiss.

is there any "native" config way to get conky to show information for two different MPD clients? with the 1.9 branch? for my WM keybinding I'm just catting a file with the -h option, I can do the same thing in conky obviously as an exec but that would be slower/more costly no? just wondering if there is a better way.

well whats the monitor? some use standard connectors, some dont. what i mean is why dont you have your stuff back yet>? or was it sold to auction hunters?

>>59051925
AOC IPS. I don't think I can get around it. Going to have to order a new one.They were nice enough to mail me a free stand though. Since it was also lost . But then I found it... lol

27 is a bit big for 1080p. Some people are ok with it, others are bothered by anything that stretches that res past around 24 inches. If you go with two, you could get one as a tn pannel for gaming. If you try to game on both at the same time you'll need a more powerful GPU. Productivity wise you'll do better with more real estate. You'll probably want to stick one monitor in the center and the other off to the side.

nah not gaming, mainly coding and coding. My current position allows me to buy either a 27 or 23 inch monitor (ive currently got a 23 inch one) for nearly the same price but i was thinking if i get the bigger one id just sell my small one. On the same note ideally id get a ultra wide curved which has the equivalent of a 27 inches height (31 inch?). though idk how curved monitors are for editors and productivity, only seen them for a few seconds.

if i were to replace psu for this system, how much power i need? the goddamn current psu is noisy as fuck

>>59052179
Everything I've heard suggest curved monitors are a meme, but you could be an exception. Ultra wide means not a lot of vertical resolution, which can really suck for productivity. Think the opposite of a 16:10 screen.

>>59052234
You could probably get by on a 550, 650 ideally.

fuck, i oiled psu fan now it makes more noise

From the looks of it, it seems like they've nixed support for that from those boards. Not surprising considering that they're H81 boards, but you could always get one of those converters that let you hook them up to a USB 2 header like those on the bottom middle of the board.

On Windows, where should I put youtube-dl.exe?

wherever you want.
if you want to run it from anywhere put it into windows\system32
or even better, create a little tools directory and add it to your PATH and put your favorite command line programs there.

I'm a teacher and I'm responsible for the tech whenever an event is held at school (information evening, proms, etc.), aka sound, microphones, Power Point, etc.

I've found a group of tech-savvy students who love to work with said tech.

Now I'm looking for a platform where I can improve communication with my with students. It needs

a) a closed group where I'm admin
b) that doesn't give away my private phone number (so no Whatsapp)
c) isn't Facebook, so I don't have to relog private and school tech account all the time.

What's my best option here?

My ISP blocks ThePirateBay, which is easily circumvented by Tor, but it's extremely annoying when using the search function in qBittorrent.

Can I do something to make ThePirateBay work in qBittorrent's search function?

Quick question.
I'm using Macrium Reflect to clone my OS drive to a larger SSD. I can't change the maximum size of the OS partition to take up all the empty space left after cloning, unless I swap the order of the last two partitions. Is this OK to do?
The way things are ordered now, if I select the OS partition and go to Cloned partition properties I can't set a size bigger than its current one. I can only change the maximum size of the last partition in the list.

>>59053399
it's the best torrent site you can get with open registration. the only "downside" (if you're not russian) is that it's in russian and if you want to download software, shows, movies, etc. it's often russian only or shows usually have internal russian audio tracks (in addition to original), so the file sizes are considerably bigger. but once you download you can just extract them out of the container and repack only the ones you want.

>>59053491
Damn, didn't think that one through. Fine, I'm too lazy for anonymous mode, even though I have i2p running on a server and kind bind my ports to it without any issues.

No dodgy intentions here. I could also communicate via my official school e-mail, but that's slow and impractical as fuck.

I just don't want pupils have my private number/info. Same reason why I have a second phone with a prepaid card for study trips because there WILL be assholes who do joke calls with a suppressed number.

If there's no reasonable way to do it, so be it, but that's why I'm asking.

>>59053503
I don't think it will matter. SSDs don't give a fuck about position, and windows recognizes partitions based on pre-assigned identification numbers. The rest is usually handled by macrium. But I'd pull the old drive in between cloning and wiping, and give the new one a test run to make sure everything boots OK.

>>59053328
nowadays i just use rutracker (for software/games, they have other things, primarily russian but often dual language with english), torrentz2 (torrent search engine, can easily combine trackers into a single magnet link), and rarbg (tv shows/movies, they have other sections as well)

>>59053587
I've seen some web stuff that displays the output in real time. I just use emacs for most jobs.

I have this popular 3 days old torrent from nyaa with 100 seeds and 300 peers.
Why isnt any of the peers connected?
Using qBittorrent and tested all the settings.
Do you thing something is wrong or is that just expected? Are the numbers lying?

>>59053793
Other torrents (if you have any on your client) could be hogging all of qBittorrent's connection slots. You could try raising the global max number of connections in Options > Connection > Connection Limits.

>>59053793
Make sure you're seeding plentifully and dht is enabled. Try another client

DHT PeX enabled, no global rate limits, no maximum number of connections or upload slots.
One of my torrents sits at 13 peers connected and 1-5MiB/s all day so its not something wrong with my client.
Might try another client tho

How do I share one specific file with my class but ensure one person in specific doesn't get it in any way possible?
Even if I sent the file to each individual they could share it with that person. If I uploaded the document somewhere and put password in it, they could still share that info with that person.
I heavily opose DRM but I really hate that person and want it to fail the class.

>>59054122
probably not possible, it doesn't help that you didn't specify what kind of file it was, but i don't think it would matter
outside of full blown locked-down-to-fuck DRM such that allowed users can't touch the unencrypted data, you can't prevent sharing

you'd have to do something like allow individuals temporary access to a machine you've prepared that only allows for viewing the information, but not taking a copy

>>59054416
>you'd have to do something like allow individuals temporary access to a machine you've prepared that only allows for viewing the information, but not taking a copy
to be clear, this isn't perfect either
whatever the content is, the parts that are used by the viewer can be retold to another
for example, if your information was the answer to a math question, the person could just tell someone else the answer, without them needing to see your information directly

>>59054416
Even if I could allow viewing, normies would still take a screenshot or simply take the camera picture or something.
Guess I'll give them my trust not to share it with that person.

>>59054462
>>59054416
actually, one thing that will work is if you managed to convince everyone else not to share the information
not really in your control, though
