Another sperglord.

abhorrent piece of shit image editing programs
literally kys tier crap

should I switch to neovim?

arch or gentoo?

Is Mopidy the logical evolution of mpd?
Currently have an Odroid running mpd (amongst other services), but it isn't quite working like I want it to.

Playlists aren't as dynamic as I want them to be, beets as music manager is ok but could be better, amongst other minor stuff.

But on the other hand it's remote, every OS has an interface for it, and seems pretty lightweight.

How does Mopidy do on this stuff?

Let me bother you
1) How do I get mousepad colour schemes to work when I'm using i3-wm?
2) I have onboard audio and a Creative sound card. Why does Arch switch the default used one on every reboot?
3) Anybody watching SatTV on freedom-enabled desktop persocoms?

>>59062535
2) Just configure /etc/asound.conf to set the default

>>59062535
>2) I have onboard audio and a Creative sound card. Why does Arch switch the default used one on every reboot?
If you are using i3 then you don't have any "audio" manager than saves and restore your settings.
Especially if you are using alsa directly without a sound server you should configure it explicitly (i.e. set the default card in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf).

>>59062239
Arch, it's easier to share configurations across devices.

It took 5 years.
5 years before gimp added the option to have a one window mode.
When I first learned it it was my first thought and all the tutorials where like:
>Take 3 minutes to manual position the windows.
>its not wrong its only different
>some people prefer it to the photo-shop way

There are some great alternatives like libre office to replace MS office and Firefox to replace ... nothing IE and chrome both suck cox.

However the GPL ecosystem needs a photo-shop replacement like with libre office and Firefox.

GIMP is literally MS-paint++ so GIMP VS MS paint GIMP wins.
however the overall idea is made bad. Really bad, like the multiple windows crap.

Have fun accidentally clicking on a background icon between the window gaps.
Also anyone who made the magnification tool needs to be executed.

Meanwhile flash8 used the magnification tool like this:
Drag select to maximize this region on screen click anywhere to minimize.

>"C allows for undefined behavior SPECIFICALLY to get high performance"
Undefined behavior is just a sign that C is broken, and the compiler optimization level determines what the functions do arbitrarily. Now if you are depending on undefined behavior you are just a shitty programmer that doesn't know how to patch his shitty algorithm.

Rust has a built in compatibility for unsafe C. People don't use it because it's not useful. Fix your program model.

C has NO (repeat: NO) concept of modern concurrency. The language is a relic of 80's computing and so it doesn't know how to utilize today's multiprocessor CPUs.
End product: C binaries take less memory of your 8GiB machine but kills a single core while other cores are literally IDLE

Both Golang and Rust has state of the art concurrency model. I will admit that Goroutines are so much easier to work, but you can do the same stuff in Rust just as effectively.

At this point I think you already realized you are just too retarded for this, haven't you.

And why the fuck are you so retarded about strncpy, is that the latest thing you learned today?

I'm talking about real undefined behaviors that C has for decades.

Also garbage like

void
wtf(char *str) {
    char newstr[80];
    
    strlcpy(newstr, str, 80);
}

int
main() {
    char c, buf[4096];
    int i=0;
    
    while ((buf[i++] = getchar()) != '\n');
    
    i=1;
    wtf(buf);
    i=2;
    
    printf("i = %d\n", i);
    
    return 0;
}

should be checked at compile time.

>You mean H.264?

that will be referring to mpeg4p2
divx is a commercialized standard format consisting of avi/mpeg4p2/mp3
you can create divx-complaint avi's with ffmpeg, it's a pretty obsolete standard, but it's much better than mpeg1

i haven't done any divx/xvid encoding in a long time, before i got into using ffmpeg, but here's a start;

ffmpeg -i in.vob -c:v libxvid -vtag divx -q:v 3 -maxrate 8M -bufsize 8M -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 2 -ac 2 out.divx

should yield much better sizes and quality than default .mpg settings, should work on DivX players, though it's been a long time since i've touched one, so i might have made a mistake

"divx" is just avi, as you probably guessed, most players will accept either, you can just rename it to try both

>>59064888
You mean rename the avi file to dvix?
What different would that make?

>>59064921
".divx" is the standard extention for DivX files, though they are just avi's
it's unlikely your player is picky enough to care

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX
hmm, looking further it's actually a modified avi
pretty sure there's no difference if you're only using video and audio tracks, i have played renamed .avi's on DivX players in the past

Try adding "init=/bin/bash" to kernel command line to boot straight to a shell with nothing else running, and do it there.

Also, if your system supports it, try setting CPU clocks very low in BIOS to see if that makes it stable (if it is overheating, or faulty CPU).

http://pastebin.com/raw/n0uTjKfJ is currently in said file.
I've never fucked with custom resolutions that aren't detected so I' be quite happy if someone could tell me what my mistake is.

>>59072453
First part depends on your computer, compiler and settings used, plus software in question.

Second is basically just "yes" on a normal config. If of course you tell Linux to schedule gcc/llvm/whatever compile with absolute realtime priority, it won't be.

What’s the best way to add a completely non-standard directory and make the compiler and the linker recognize it to look for header files and libraries, etc.?
I tried setting CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH, but that created other problems, like some software refusing to compile.

>>59072573
It's more like being the person attending a computerized industrial scarf knitter. Maybe you still need to know a few non-obvious things about how to insert yarn or how to unjam the thing, but it's not really THAT much.

The installation instructions are prepared (ebuilds), the package manager (portage, typically using the emerge interface) is prepared and it even fetches the source code for you (various formats - from tar.bz2, xz, git, hg, whatever).

>>59072517

>there is firmware which is GPL'd, but includes blobs
why is this allowed?

>>59075277
you do. it's fucking bugfixes for the instructions. it's like not updating your kernel/software after you install it.

I am planning to dual boot Linux on my PC to separate myself from gaming.

I'll be using MATLAB and other CAD softwares like NX. Which distro do you recommend?

I have a i5 4440 and an AMD GPU.

Only users need to follow license rules, not the copyright holders.

>>59075258
looks like my wifi is cucked ;_;

for small terminal applications,
should I learn perl, python or c?

What's a good distro to say "aw, fuck it"? I just want to have shit auto configured for the most part and work nice on fairly new hardware. Last time I used Linux was an older arch and gentoo install, but I don't feel like putting in even the barest effort for either of those and I have no idea the state of Linux or Linux distros at this point.

so what happens if i choose not to apply these 'bugfixes'?

and how do you know what they even are?

>>59075445
GNU/Linux*

>>59075445
For absolute minimum user effort, any flavor of Ubuntu.

Or Mint.

>>59075472
>recommending mint
are you living under stone
mint is a horrible insecure hack
>>59075445
ubuntu

>>59075445
install source mage

>>59075488
Mint is low effort on every front, including security updates.

Fewer updates to install == reduced user effort. Therefore Mint is superior in that regard

I remember not liking Ubuntu, but that was years ago and I was several degrees more autistic then. I'll give it a shot since I don't think I've used it since one of the 8.x releases. Thanks.

Hey /g/, what's the best lightweight and user-friendly distro for daily use?

Also I just discovered that scp is a thing. Not a perfect solution but it'll get the job done for now.

You get lockups, crashes, wrong calculations, subtle bugs you can't detect etc. Tons of ways to fuck you over.

>and how do you know what they even are?
Errata for every Intel CPU family is fucking huge.

Here's the deal:

I have a laptop with a ubuntu variant and a RPi with Kodi.

I want to stream the audio from my laptop (or at least Spotify) from the laptop to the pi.

Is there anything that allows me to do this?

In windows I used tuneblade.

Source Mage GNU/Linux

>>59075574
And now I've discovered sftp/filezilla, and will probably set up sshft tomorrow. What a neato little learning experience this was :^)

What's the best distro to use in fucking killing myself?

>>59076162
gentoo or arch if you want to dedicate your life to your os

>>59076162
Source Mage

>>59076178
No I mean I literally want my os to reach out of the screen and fucking strangle me.

>>59076189
Maybe "Damn Vulnerable Linux" will make your computer explode?

>>59076162

Slackware

>>59076189
Ubuntu on Windows 10

>System won't boot at all?
Yup.
It's two core CPU, could it be faulty core?
I haven't overclocked it.
