someone got into my ebay and ordered some cheetos to my house
would it be a bad idea to open the package and eat them? i got a refund

yes but if you want it answered you have to post a picture of an emu

There was an anon who asked for an affordable dedicated media player or if he should recycle his old android.

>recycle android
chances are, you have a recent phone I take it? If you're going to spend money on anything for listening to music then buy jetAudio Plus, If you have good headphones then this app has an add-on that remasters all of the music on your phone or SD card but you gotta buy it and it fucking works.

What is USB-C and why do I want it?

>>59141616
I think he was asking for a media player app to USE on his recycled android anon

why do a lot of engineering focused colleges use chalkboards?

How do you tell if a HDD has failed in a raid 5 setup?

Does it tell you?

Do you have to check on occasion?

>>59141851
>How do you tell if a HDD has failed in a raid 5 setup?

It will be marked as failed, and your array will be degraded.

>Does it tell you?

Yes, if you configured it to do so. How to do so varies depending on whether you're using software raid, fake raid, or hw raid.

>Do you have to check on occasion?

If you didn't configure it to do so.

a few questions
1. My mid-ATX case has two top 120mm fans that are loud as fuck. I'd like to swap them out for 140mm fans and also swap out my Hyper 212 Evo for a 280mm AIO for aesthetics. Worth it?

2. Should I get a 32" 4K 120hz TV to use as a display for $300, 12.3ms response time. OR a 1440p 75hz monitor with a 1ms response time? I'm not an esports gamer, but I do have a gtx1080.

3. What is some good bitcoin mining software? My landlord includes electric in the rent, so it would just be more for a hobby.

Want do you want to work with?
If you want to be a software developer then yeah, working on side-projects that serve real life purpose is a huge plus. If you finish college without ever working on any projects of your own, or contributing to existing open source projects, your employers will see you as nothing more than a bookworm fresh out of college. Not very useful for a company.

And since you ask, consider whether you really like computer science. If you're not working on any projects, it's as if you don't really enjoy the field and you just picked it because "you're good with computers" (i.e. you did nothing but stay in front of a computer all your life). You may want to switch majors... you don't really want to realize that the job bores you to death after finishing college. Software development is not at all like solving mini math/programming challenges from Project Euler.

I have no idea what else I would do at this point. I'm a junior, it's too late to switch. But I do genuinely enjoy CS.

if I have high bitrate x264 files, is it worth trying to re-encode to HEVC to try and cut file size to about half, or will the image quality loss be too extreme?

recent x265 rips make me optimistic, but of course those are encoded from source.

>>59142061
I just use the drive letters, but I switch them around. So my C drive is named "G", etc.

in conky I use

execi 1 cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/device/fan1_input

to display my CPU fan speed but when I reboot it sometimes changes the hwmon# input and I must edit that line to find it again.
I tried to do something like

find -name "fan1_input" -exec cat {} \;

but that doesn't work

>>59142614
x265 is insane. I say try it with a file and review the quality. The file size reduction is worth it 100%

What's it called when you shorten a long command that you frequently use into a custom command and how do you do it? For example I want to be able to call "longcommand [-option] [input]" to just "customcommand [input]"

OS dependent.

Windows doesn't care about caps, so it works in shitbar. unix-like systems have case-sensitive filename so under them you will have problems if the case doesn't match.

>>59145191
How about android phones?

>>59145207
Good question. They are Linux systems using ext4 these days, so unless dalvik/android runtime provides case-insensitive fs access they too won't be able to open files if case doesn't match.

>>59145865
To boot linux again you have to reinstall grub, not set up the bootable flag, this is not DOS.

You can start your linux system with supergrub2 disk

Either write it to a flashdrive and boot from it or install easyBCD and add it as an ISO entry. After linux started up, reinstall grub using

grub-install /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

the usual notes:
-replace sda if that is not your boot hd
-if you use debian/ubuntu/derivatives you can replace the whole second command with update-grub2
-in some distros the mentioned programs might be called grub2-install and grub2-mkconfig

How can I use a script to download the pictures here http://www2.sat24.com/history.aspx?culture=en ?

Hey guys I need your help
I bought a new mobo an aorus g5 and a new PSU(corsair AX860)

After I tried to build my PC It just lights up for half a second then it shuts down and re-starts again , Sometimes it last for almost 5 seconds then it struggles and finally dies again.

There's a solid red light visible while the power is on.

I literally removed everything and the only thing that's plugged in to the PSU is the mobo that's not even inside the case so loose screws or foreign metal objects are not even in the equation.

I installed kolourpaint in kubuntu, but it won't appear when I search in the application launcher, I can launch it normally in the terminal though. What's going on?

My rams heat spreaders are getting in the way. can I remove them or will my ram explode?

Stupid question:
Is it possible to 'filter' (wrong word) every output of my bash shell into /usr/games/lolcat ?

I set up a RAID 1 array, with 2 500 gb hdd, and windows is asking me to initialize it. I don't have any data on the disks, but I don't want them to get pushed out of RAID. Should I initialize, or is there some other issue here?

How does one avoid showing their address/info in the tracert process like pic related?

Since traffic is being routed through your IP address, shouldn't it be visible in a tracert no matter what? Or is there a certain standard these tracert requests use that make them easily filterable?

>>59146353
"initialize" is what windows calls a volume with no (recognized) partition table
your raid won't have a partition table if it was just created, so you will need to "initialize" it

Is it normal for a windows system drive to keep jumping up and down in available space, when you only have 1-15 gb left? Yesterday I had 3, now it's randomly back to 12.

tracert works by sending packets with short TTLs.
I always thought those just don't return the ICMP response when TTL reaches 0 and silently discard the packet.

>>59146507
Is there a way to find out what that timed-out request would've been? Is there a way to send an ICMP request that will wait longer until a response is gotten?

What would it mean if the address never gave a response?

>>59146615
The timed out request is just whatever packet tracert uses with a TTL of 13, in your screenshot.
I don't remember if there's an option to tell it to wait longer for a response. Probably.
If there's no response, I guess that that router is either dropping the packets that run out of TTL silently, or dropping packets that look like they are from tracert altogether.

It's probably just a cheap ass micro controller that converts the digital music data that's stored in it's memory to a pulse width modulated waveform which is then reconstructed into an analog waveform by a filter (basically a class d amp) which is probably amplified by the cheapest ever OP amp which drives the speaker to make the squeaky noises.

Or maybe it's driving a digtial analog converter, but my guess would be, that's way too expensive for that type of shovel ware product.

Microcontrollers are very cheap. Cheap enough that you can make a musical card yourself, cheaper than Hallmark's, buying at individual/retail volume.

So I need to be extra stupid with this one

I have two keyboards: some mechanical cherry one which is pretty ok, and this apple wired keyboard with the numeric keypad. I'm also shit at touchtyping. I can type at a reasonable pace as long as you don't tell me which fingers to use (I don't use only two, but I generally don't do the normal thing).

So I tried to learn touchtyping the proper way and it gets silly.

With the apple keyboard, I'm not as fast with the correct way, but I'm faster if I forget about it. Basically the way I generally type works better for me on this thing somehow. The layout is weird being macOS friendly and all of course, but I got used to that.

With the cherry keyboard I'm generally slower, but when I get to sites like keybr.com I can type faster. However using them pinkies is a pain in the ass for me, specially on the mechanical keyboard (because the apple keyboard keys are made so you can pretty much blow on them and write essays) so you can imagine how stupid slow I am with shift keys.

So I must ask, how the fuck do I train my faggot pinkies to get better? I'm comfortable with the apple keyboard, but I've been shown many times in life that comfy is for faggots

Is there a container in C++ that can contain pairs of different data types? For example, is there a container that can contain both pair<int, double> and pair<int, char>?

How do I iterate through a dictionary, popping target entries? I'd prefer not to make a copy of the dict since it's probably going to get big.

Sorry had to delete my post due to lenght. Here it is again split in two:

[1/2]

Has anyone in here ever successfully set up umurmur (Mumble server) with Letsencrypt certificates on Raspbian?

I cloned the umurmur repository using git an compiled from source, specified my letsencrypt certificates in the config file, but when I run umurmurd and try to connect to it with the Windows Mumble client I get a certificate error or something. (Pic related).

I can't find any information on what might be wrong and the documentation of umurmur is a joke.

Any hints?

>>59149073

Oh and here is my config (it's mostly the default config just with my certs added). I tried different CA_PATH values, but no deal. I don't get it. The certs are working fine for my domain.

Thanks for your help, I am really new to certificates an all that stuff!

/etc/letsencrypt/live/yadda tk/fullchain.pem
/etc/letsencrypt/live/yadda tk/privkey.pem

Letsencrypt has generated the files mentioned above for me and I am using fullchain.pem in my Nginx config.

Maybe I need to configure fullchain.pem in /etc/umurmur.con instead of cert.pem?

I will give that a try.

is there difference between default router and default gateway ?

Just installed neofetch and I have a dumb question: Do I need to redo "make install" every time I change the config file?
Are there easier ways to do it?

Allright. So I was dumb and broke my laptop screen, went and got it replaced. Thing booted up fine but after the windows logo the screen turned off. Not like black screen with mouse, the monitor turned off. So I poked around some more and how got it to work by messing with some boot stuff, apparently it wasn't recognizing the screen.
Now I have one last issue though. Every element on the screen is bigger, like if I had set it to a lower resolution, but the resolution is the same. Its still 1366 x 768. Everything is just bigger for no reason. And I can't set the resolution even higher to get it back to where it was either.

Hello, I would like to make a server out of an old laptop, and would like an easy to use Linux distro for it that has a lot of documentation or guides on the web. Preferable that it has a GUI for setting it on the laptop, if not CLI is ok.

If there isn't any good distro, you could recommend windows server if it's a better option.

I would like to do the following:

•File hosting
•Media streaming
•Torrent
•Web Hosting
Would like to host a web page just for fun and testing in home, so I could build something.

Since this would be just for fun I'm not aiming for some performance I just want to learn something and later expand on this if I need it, or build a better server. Would like to access the server from my phone so keep that in mind.

Whats a good way to deep clean the dust and buildup out of a desktop?

Also, how often should I replace thermal paste?

>Typically I just wipe the fan blades with a paper towel, remove and wipe off the fan filters, etc. But what is a good way to get in the cracks and other not seen areas?

Prop any fans with a shim, blow everything with canned air. Preventative maintenance with a case's dust filters is king, though.

Vacuum if you feel like it.

>Also, how often should I replace thermal paste?

3-5 years. Sooner if you pulled off the heatsink after curing.

-Do you use linux/freeBSD/hackintosh and don't like dual booting?
-Do you mind monthly subscription fees for playing games online?
-Do you find better exclusive games on console or PC?
-Can you stand lower resolutions and framerates?
-Do you like physical copies more?

Depending on your answers, you will find what you want.

>>59151295
IMO, only Nintendo consoles can be worthwhile. The others don't offer anything unique, and lack some capabilities a PC has. Consoles can't split games across two displays when the bf cums over.

And a proper adult already has a PC for other stuff, so it takes only a $200 GPU to make it a gaming PC if like the kinds of games that need it.

My build from 2013 has finally had its major hit and the graphics card, a trusty Radeon HD7850, has finally died on me. I need to get it back up and running as soon as I can but I am not sure whether I should continue to work with the build like some sort of frankenstein by adding in a new card (something under 100 most likely, was looking at a GTX 1050) or if I dive into my savings to build a new pc tower.

Any recommendations either way would be super.

Make an external backup of data you want to keep (duh), prioritise USB in booting options in BIOS/UEFI and just follow the instructions. I did my first clean install on the fly, it really isn't anything to worry about. If you're using a laptop, obviously you'll want to do it with power plugged in.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, you can just copy and paste it into a different column

What do you want to do? Make columns become rows and vice versa? If so, it's called transposition and Excel has a built-in functionality for that. Select and copy your table, then one of special pasting options will be transposition.

Hello /sqt/,
I want to try out a Linux in a virtual machine and have determined from what little i could understand that Trisquel seems most desirable to me because of the looks, the specific pre installed software (Some of which I am familiar with) and freedoms it has.
However my concern is how easy is it for a beginner to set up and use, and also is there any other distribution that has those factors i mentioned that I like, only better?
I have no prior experience with Linux.
My purpose for using it is to learn about Linux in general, its CLI and how to program using Emacs in language C.

In the /fglt/ thread one anon said it was as easy as Ubuntu to use/set up (Which i guess is easy from what i could look up) and another anon told me to use Debian instead.
What are your opinions on this matter?

>>59153076

I need a new monitor from $200-300

I'm running a gtx 1070 SC, i5 6500

I'm guessing 4k wouldn't be worth it without being able to properly handle it? I do play games so 1ms would be great

Pls gib recs

>>59152029
What do you mean "hit"? Like a power surge? Are you running a desktop without a UPS because you're a shitter and don't use it for anything besides games?

A 1050 benchmarks slightly below a 760, so that would make it continue performing like a decent PC from 2013.

>>59153077
If the intro/outro is consistent you can just run them through an ffmpeg script

>>59153446
No, not a power surge or anything, the card was showing signs of dying for the past few months so I knew it would go soon and yesterday it cut out and my tower refused to start up despite powering on. After taking everything out and putting it back in, eventually I found everything except the card functioned so thats where I am. 1050 seemed like the closest to the 7850 I lost so it made sense but I just needed another opinion. Thanks for the help

I'm a total retard when it comes to this, my parents just used to buy the most expensive one at the time and stick with it for a decade, i want to do the same but when i go to the local store to pick mine i see led, lcd, 60hz, 144hz and i have no idea which one would be better.

Go in person. Different people like how different TVs look.
I personally like the LG B6. 4k OLED that supports Dolby vision and HDR10.
Someone can correct me but the HDR vs DolbyVision is similar to what happened to Bluray and HDDVD a few years back. One is going to corner the market so you might want to wait to figure out which one does.

I guess 4k doesn't matter if youre not downloading anime in 4k/gaming in 4k so you could save a lot of money and just get a 1080 tv.

If your friend is a normalfag there's truly nothing to hide for him, normalfags consume only approved mainstream media and the raunchiest thing you'll find on their phones and computers is amateur porn so the cia can't come knocking on their doors for having illegal shit, they don't even bother to justify it because they have nothing to lose, they just let it happen.

Meanwhile us /g/entlemen have terabytes worth of pirated content; videogames, anime, books, movies, weird porn etc, you don't want papa microsoft/jewgle looking at your 2D little girl porn do you?

Will they detain or torture me?

is there any way to back up emails and whatnot in the Windows 10 Mail app? think along the lines of a .pst file used by outlook

>>59153961
Probably not but they'll think you're a weirdo for not having at least fagbook, make a spare email account asap and work your full name on it, then show them your papers and once they ask for your email give them that one and have them check on the internet that you truly don't have any social media.

My wireless network card doesn't receive a good signal from the router, and they are about only 30m far from each other.
The signal is week and there's always a high loss of packets.

My laptop, located on about the same place, receives a good/average signal.
I've even bought a repeater, and placed it between the router and the computer, but that didn't help much.

I noticed something weird, the network card seems to work much better without the side panel on the computer case. Maybe the case somehow blocks the signal?

Should I install dd-wrt on my Netgear router? Will it be slower or faster than the normal firmware?

When I installed Windows on my PC, I wasn't thinking and made a dumb mistake.

I cloned the boot partition onto my new SSD, but then when I booted it, it tried to install Windows. Not thinking, I let it create a new boot partition with pretty much the same files.

According to this image, can I format the other drive and re-incorporate it in with a different partition?

I found a HDD digging through a bin of parts. I plug it in and see that it is broken into multiple drives, 4 to be exact. What does this mean and how do I go about formatting all of them?

Or if I format each one individually will that fix it?

Recently (starting yesterday) I've noticed that my secondary hard drive isn't always on. Most of my programs and games are on the SSD, so the secondary HDD isn't always in use and I've noticed that it clicks on and starts spinning when I open a folder or program that's in the HDD, but the thing is that it never did this before. It was always on. I've never set the power configuration to do this.

The drive has been giving me trouble for a while now, with Windows reporting "problems with the hard drive" every now and then and the drive generally being slow as fuck. Could this just be another symptom of a dying drive?

Is reading a guide on how to do something then doing it considered "diy/doing it yourself"? I always thought it mean you figured it all out by yourself the entire process. For example is learning html by searching online considered diy?

To me DIY is more like buying PC parts and putting it together yourself vs buying prebuilt or having the guy at the store put your parts together

In your analogy it would be like learning HTML and making your website vs asking/paying someone to make your website

Ok now that I see the file is not corrupted, what could cause an image to display incorrectly in one program but fine in the rest? Honeyview displays this and a handful of other images incorrectly but explorer, paint, PS and pretty much everything else displays it correctly. I love Honeyviews simplicity and I haven't updated just because I heard newer versions add unnecessary bloat and botnet. Should I update and are newer versions free from toolbars crap?

I have windows 10 and previous to my 4k monitor purchase, I had a 1440p monitor which I used this tool to fix the scaling / DPI. https://lifehacker.com/fix-blurry-fonts-in-windows-10-with-this-utility-1734246822
I just bought a 4k monitor in additon to my 1440p monitor and I'm having a hard time figuring out the DPI settings. If I use the native windows 10 DPI scaling ( ie. 125% ) all the text looks like crap. When I switch back to the tool the text is crystal clear.
The problem im having is using that tool to set "individual" DPI's for my 4k monitor and my 1440p monitor. I need one settings for 1440p and one for 4k.
Anyone have any tips?

What's a good flash drive to get?

Does it mater if it's USB 3.0, 3.1, Type C, Thunderbolt, etc.?

I just got a Patriot Blitz 128 GB USB 3.0 for cheap, but it seems pretty slow backing up my Steam library. It's 3.0 compatible, but a bunch of reviews online say it only transfers up to USB 2.0 speeds. I needed the extra storage in a small form factor anyway so I ain't mad, especially since it was on sale at the same price as other USB 2.0 drives at the time. But I'm curious as to what's considered a decent transfer speed for flash drives today.

Yo-yo! If I maintain my monitor turned on with a black screen it'll consume more energy than a monitor with a colorful screensaver? And if the screen is all white?

>>59156205
pls respond

>>59156550
Unless you're running stuff off the stick often, just look for the best 3.0 deal you can get. Make sure you're putting it in a usb 3.0 port to get the usb 3.0 speeds (usually the port is blue).

I picked up a $6 usb 3.0 16gb.

How to calculate the matrix for xrandr's --transform command for fixing overscan?

I have a TV that won't let me change it's overscan for hdmi input. I have it connected to my HTPC, but at it's highest resolution it goes off screen. So, for now I have it set to a lower resolution because it stops this from happening. So, I was trying to use the xrandr's --transform command to fix compensate for the overscan in the higher resolution. I don't know how to calculate the matrix for that though. I had tried random settings from the internet

xrandr --output HDMI1 --transform 1.05,0,-35,0,1.05,-19,0,0,1


with trial and error to get it right, but I can't quite get the scaling right vertically that way.

So, can someone explain how that math works from calculating the transform matrix. I'm not even sure what parameters are needed for calculating it.

Could be the case blocking the signal, try spinning the machine around see if it's better in one orientation.
