reposting my question again because i need advice:

How long would it take for Asian botnets to shit up traffic on a self-hosted server? I'm currently getting a ~2012 Dell Inspiron, which I then plan on undervolting and underclocking to make it become a server.

This server would host a single static website that would link to other websites (ex. itch.io, Youtube, Twitter, Codeplex, Bandcamp), with some small links to other sites. If some botnet spammers were paid on Fiverr to spam my (theoretical as of now) website, could my underclocked Pentium bear the brunt of that stress?
The website below is almost what I've got in mind, albeit with several more links on the divider:

Is this a good choice for a storage drive? Is it rational of me to be totally put off by the negative reviews making think it's a high risk? There doesn't seem to be any Hard drives, high capacity ones at least, that don't have a full 5 or even 4.5 star rating.

For some reason, I always weigh the negative reviews like 3 or 4 times heavier than the positive ones. Is this normal? Are all hard drives essentially just a blind crapshoot?

I want to learn how computers work from scratch. Is there a good book or books for a noob that covers everything starting with transistors?

>>59394313
The hardest part with programming is learning the language.

Depends on what you're trying to learn though- C is hard mode for sure.
Java is fairly easy to wrap your head around, for example.

>>59394313
Yeah. Sometimes there's one big concept that is difficult for you that will "click" at one point and everything will become so much easier from then on out, even if not it's natural for this early stuff to become second nature after a while.

Would I have more job opportunities by learning programming, or learning to play the violin, assuming the same amount of time and effort put into either?

Additionally, how big of a step is there between learning Java a decent amount and coding an Android app?

>>59394572
Well you have to learn about the various android libraries that you'll be needing to interact with, and there's a fair bit to learn there, but by learning the basic programming and Java skills you've definitely stepped over the biggest hurdle, the rest is mostly just looking up the documentation as needed since nobody is really expected to memorize all that shit,.

I have a laptop connected to my Sony Bravia TV thru HDMI, but for some reason, the screen gets weirdly cut off on the left side.

There are no tracking options on the TV, except one that is overscan but all the options for it don't fix the issue (still remains cut off at all levels of it and off)

I want to use 1280x720 as the tv is 720p and should theoretically be able to handle it

Is there some tracking option in Windows, or program I Can use to get shit to fit on the TV?

Does anyone have a nuke script set up so his relatives can safely get all the photos they want without stumbling across porn?
Essentially I left instructions to plug my external hard drives into the PC, boot it, log in using the password I left with my dad (I trust him), open a terminal (I explained how to do it) and run nuke.sh which essentially wipes all the dirs that have porn in them and leaves a working installation plus all the "safe" pictures, documents etc.

You could download a GUI for everything but it'll be much faster just to learn the CL.

Once you get used to CLI you will never go back. GUI will feel slow when you can make use of insane touchtyping speed to make your computer do things that would take several clicks or drags.

are ssd + hdd setups more vulnerable to inaccessible_boot_device errors?

got a new computer built for me and it seemed to be working fine but after restarting I kept getting that error

I tried using a windows 10 usb repair tool but nothing worked

right now I am just planning to ditch the ssd and do a fresh install on the hdd, so basically I'm wondering if the ssd was at fault or was it something else and am I gonna run into the same error with the hdd

>>59395757
more likely it's users fault

>>59395719

I'm not skilled enough.

>>59395757
Usually not a hardware issue, more likely you've fucked up something in your OS. Using 2 drives doesn't cause it. You can smart test both drives if you want. Dropping the SSD for no reason would be stupid. Just go straight to the fresh install.

>>59395663
OS? Howd you manage to do this?

Would you say the following statement is true?

If i can find a link to it through a Google search, then clicking the link can't be illegal.
Because then Google is at fault for even providing me with the link.
This specifically excludes links where you are required to download something. I'm talking about simply visiting the website/clicking the link.

>>59395374
For me the cli is just a tool that you use when you want to do some particular tasks like installing/removing/updating software, fixing something...

You can do anything from the GUI now, particularly on a distribution like ubuntu.

>>59395479
>>59395441
For coding there are a few stuff :
you can use a IDE or a text editor like vim
vim have a few pluggins and you can customize how it works to fit your need, but a lot of people prefer using an IDE

try learning the cli and some of its tools that are useful like grep, find, tail... those can be really useful.

>>59397027
You use double when you want to do math with decimals (3 / 2 = 1.5, etc.), as opposed to types like int which are always whole numbers.

It stands for double precision floating point, which basically means it's twice as large as the "float" type. These days most people always use double, since saving a few bytes is rarely a concern.

I don't like social media, I just wanted playlists.
Never wrote a comment either.
Closed my account some time ago so I can't check if there is something there anymore.

I'm writing a script that generates very simple systems of equations (3 unknowns, 9 factors, all integers).
It generates a bunch of pseudo-random integers (say, A to I, then x, y, z), calculates the sum for each line, then prints the system:

> Ax + By + Cz = (whatever)
> Dx + Ey + Fz = ...
> Gx + Hy + Iz = ...

(Obviously, A to I are replaced by their actual value, and you have to solve for x, y, z).

But how do I make sure the equations are independent, so that the system is fully solvable?

HGST is the best HDD manufacturer but it comes at a higher price. I've only had experience with Seagate and WD but either should be fine as long as your not buying refurbs.

When initializing an array in c by writing

Does that mean the contents are undefined/indeterminate? If yes, what are the contents? Random stack junk?

>>59397468
You think it's worth it to buy something at 1440p and 144hz or should I just go 144hz alone/144hz and some other feature?

>>59399439
I'm pretty sure it just allocates 20 bytes of memory that bla would be pointing to, but it would still just be random stack junk until it's initialized.

>>59399458
1440p is great

why are 144hz monitors more popular than 120hz monitors ? I understand that it's 24hz more, but 120hz in my theory should be more overall "compatible" as it divides from both 24 and 60
Also, I've heard there's some kind of memesync by asus that only runs at 120 but not on 144, forgot entirely what it's all about

>>59399458
It's all personal preference. For most people 144hz is overkill. In fact for the average person it's better to go in the opposite direction and get IPS. 1440p is damn nice on 25+ inch screens, and you'd be amazed what the extra real estate can do. So even if it doesn't factor into a specific game, I really doubt you'd regret it.

i got a windows 10 desktop a little while ago and now the video files i put on my usb from it don't show up on my ps3.

any idea why? was using windows 7 before and it never happened.

also the same desktop does a thing when playing files in windows media player where the video/audio lags for a split second 4 times in a row and then it goes on playing normally. any idea what that's about?

What part of my PC should I upgrade?

I'm not sure what component has most priority. My hard drive is about 5 years old and it's getting pretty slow.

Motherboard is my initial thought and i'd probably buy a processor with it.

I made a big mistake, I made a bootable drive out of my 4TB Hdd instead on the USB stick and it tell me I need to format to continue, is there any way to cancel that or am I fucked

Windows 10

>>59399592
Yeah, but I play a lot of old games and a lot of them are shooters.

And IPS is great but I don't like the input lag.

1440p helps clear up jaggies and gives more screen real-estate but it also means having to render at a higher resolution and optimization means nothing to most people any more.

>>59399627
I'll assume you do gaymen, which leads me to want to say your system would be fine, but your CPU could probably do with an upgrade sooner than any other component in such a case. If I got that wrong, I apologise.

>>59399948
Only problem is that it's DDR4, will DDR3 memory not work with it at all?

>>59399942
IIRC VGA is deprecated and you can visually see bad shit happening on screen(or at least I could on my 10+ year old monitor that only had VGA and I had to use DVI-VGA adapter), it transmits analog signal so there's possible interference n shiet
and digital signal cables should all be pretty much the same shit, only that HDMI and DP carries audio and can probably support higher resolutions/framerates than DVI

Yeah, you can't use DDR3 on DDR4 board, you would have to buy new ram, and DDR4 is like 70 euros for 8gb where I live, which is fucking bullshit, but afaik, it's not much better elsewhere either

You should at least install security updates. Don't worry about the ones that are listed as option in win update. Also 7 sp1 fresh install has a bug where windows update just doesn't fucking work anymore due to the number of updates (microsoft, fucking up a package manager, who woulda thought), there are like 3 updates you have to manually install before wu will find any.

Oh and I guess I have to reformat my external HDD and put the porn there into a new ext4 partition that's again 700.

>>59402642
No, it actually is due to the number of updates.

If you stick a profiler on the process as it's running, you'll see that it's spending the majority of it's time in one single method, to do with dependency resolution. Clearly someone at msoft doesn't understand how bad O(n^2) is. When it says "checking for updates", 90%+ of it's time is spent locally processing, deciding which updates to install and which not to.

On launch this worked fine, because there were less updates. Now, the same algorithm takes way longer because it's terrible at scaling. There is an update for wu, that obviously changes the algo because after it actually takes a reasonable length of time.

Windows Update is just terribly designed though. Look at the Linux world where each package is a self contained thing, with only it's own files. With wu, each update can contain multiple applications, multiple parts of the system. So the update process has a really hard job deciding which ones it needs to install, and which ones it doesn't. It's not as simple as "just install a new version of all the packages currently installed", it's "look at all the updates available, and work out the minimum number of the that we need to install to fully update our system". One of these processes is obviously less efficient.

>>59402436
Currently we're not using UML but it's probably coming next year. Like I think it's good to have a general sense of what classes to make, but this is so long winded.

What kind of relationship though? Does the class just share methods and instance variables for other objects?

Infos is a shit degree, honestly compsci is better in every way, you should do it if you can.
But ok, you've got some basic shit to learn here.

Association: one class that uses another class at some point. This isn't a good definition for an exam, but it's what it actually means in practice.

Checkout.java

PaymentProcessor pp = PaymentProcessor.getProcessor();
...
    pp.processPayment(total, user);

there is an association between Checkout.java and PaymentProcessor.java, and probably User.java as well. Both classes exist independantly, no judgement about ownership made. If Checkout instantiated it's own new PaymentProcessor, then it wouldn't be an association anymore, it would be composition.

There are other relationships like aggregation and composition that make statements about life cycle and ownership. So if you have a class Dog and Leg, where Dog has a collection say of 4 legs, and if there are no more references to Dog then the legs will be lost too, that's NOT association. That's composition, Dog has a composition relationship with Leg.

Thanks you cock garglers.

Can the PC detect when the ethernet is plugged in and out? Is there any difference between it being plugged in or out?

>>59403285
no :/
thank you in advance

>>59403285
and the modem doesn't light up the light next to ethernet
Wireless broadband internet and power are all green

>>59403323
Sounds like the OS can't communicate with the hardware. I'm convinced it's a driver issue.
Do you have a restore point on your PC? You can use that to go back to before you updated.

>>59403320
>nVidia GeForce GTX GPU w/2GB GDDR5
wut

>>59403385
No but I tried before actually downloading the driver and it didn't work it that helps

Can a cat be trained to guard your home from intruders?

>>59403192
No. If you look at my example, I was trying to make a distinction between that.

If Checkout instantiates a NEW PaymentProcessor, then that implies ownership. The PaymentProcessor instance would be a part of my Checkout class, and if it wasn't referenced anywhere else would be entirely encapsulated within it. This isn't association, this is composition.

But in the example I tried to give, Checkout DOESN'T own the PaymentProcessor object that pp refers to. It's calling a static method of PaymentProcessor, to get an instance that already exists somewhere else in the system. So it's not composition, it's a simple association. It would also be an association if say, we were passing the PaymentProcessor instance into a method of Checkout from elsewhere in the system, like this:

Checkout.java

...
public void completeCheckout(PaymentProcessor pp) {
    // some stuff that completes the checkout
}

PaymentProcessor might still have composition with some other elements, but it wouldn't have it with Checkout. It would have an association.

Simplest explanation:
>Association
Class has a relationship (uses) another class in some way, but doesn't imply ownership of the instance of the other class. Instances of both refer to each other, but can also exist independantly in the system.
>Composition
Objects of a class have a strong ownership relationship with instances of another class, they are only referenced within the first class. When Class A dies, it's objects it's composed of die too.
>Aggregation
Like Composition, object has strict ownership of other objects in the system. But doesn't impose life cycle rules, the other objects may live on.

The definitions for comp/agg are very shaky, and no one in the field actually agrees on what the difference really is. This is the one that I learned, but if your lecturer says something different then learn that instead.

>>59403385
can't I just rollback the deuver?

>>59403392
no idea

>>59403320
Don't buy that dude. They don't even tell you the gpu model number.

For that price and those terribad specs, you are better either saving more to get a better build, or looking on the used market. Those specs are reeaaally bad, you won't be happy with that at all.

>>59403401
I doubt it but my cat does sometimes hunt insects for me which is nice. One time we teamed up to take down a particularly gnarly looking critter that was running around near my bathroom. I was glad she was there since it would have been much more nerve-wracking if she hadn't disabled it before I had to go in for the kill.

>>59403405
Right, that makes sense.

So Checkout is declaring a reference variable which is assigned the value of getProcessor()?

Is getProcessor() providing an object to Checkout or some other attribute?

Thanks a lot for your help man.

Do I buy another PSU to use alongside this one?
Why do I like adding parts to my computer so much? My computer has taken up a whole wall of my room. It's lain-esque

So my mom wants an external HDD for her birthday so she can put photos on it, what should I get her?

>>59403424
See, the thing is that I don't have the budget for anything higher than this. I primarily play on a ps4. and just wanted to get one of these for some games that aren't that graphical intensive.

As for the specs, I've seen some videos of the games I want to play running at a more than stable fps. Yeah, I could just save and end up building a machine that would be better, but like I said, I mainly use a ps4. I made my original post because I'm not knowledgeable about pc parts and their quality, and just to make sure I couldn't build something on par with this for that price range.

>>59403597
>Do I buy another PSU to use alongside this one?
How can you use more than one PSU?
Otherwise just buy a PSU with a bigger load.

>>59403610
Anthing WD, they're cheap and they're good.
Just buy her a different cable to connect between the usb port and the hdd because most of the stock cables you get are short, stiff and shit

>>59403476
That was an example of how you can have associations without ownership.

>So Checkout is declaring a reference variable which is assigned the value of getProcessor()?
yes, it's just a reference so that it's easy to use the association from Checkout. Not the only way of doing an association, but it's an example.

>Is getProcessor() providing an object to Checkout or some other attribute?
Look at the types. I'm declaring pp as a PaymentProcessor. If PaymentProcessor.getProcessor() doesn't return a PaymentProcessor, then I have a compile error.
But this was just an example of how you can refer to a class that's instantiated elsewhere.

>>59394015
Is there an IP address that causes automatic failure?
Redirecting elements to 127.0.0.1 is unsafe.

>>59403621
>How can you use more than one PSU?
You actually can, though I wouldn't reccomend it. When the motherboard wants the psu to turn on, all it's doing is shorting one of the pins on the 24 pin to ground. Easy enough to just wire a second psu into the system, and tie those pins on both together. Then when the mobo pulls it to ground, they will both turn on.

Not a good idea though, I'd be worried about different voltages, interferance, stuff like that. If you had just one device that needed power, and didn't get any from elsewhere in the system, though, maybe you colud use it.

>>59403616
What games do you want to play?
If you already own a ps4, any decent pc from the last 10 years will be suitable for low power gaming, indies, 2d.

>>59403709
Whatever you are trying to do, you are doing in the wrong way.

h1z1 king of the kill, modded new vegas, emulate some obscure ps2 games, etc.

mostly want to play some games on steam I never got to play.

>>59403757
>emulate some obscure ps2 games
not gonna happen on that build lol. ps2 emu is really inefficient, that low powered cpu isn't going to cut it at all. You will get like 4 fps.

>h1z1
Don't worry, I know you play on console so it's like a popular but forbidden fruit, you see it on Twitch and it looks really fun. But honestly don't bother, it's really shit. All those survival games that look really fun on Twitch are actually shit, they just pay streamers to play them to get idiots to buy them.

>new vegas
this one is probably manageable.

>>59403711
Yes, please do this, exactly this

>>59399769
Well, technically, it’s possible to have a shared /home partition, and it will be readable by both without problem, yet, if you make both your /home/user, il may be problematic since you user settings (dotfiles) will be there, and it might not be cool. Have to test, still

the just to be sure anything can ever go wrong, you can have a /home/user-elementary with symlinks to the “normal” directory of your /home partition.

You can make them easily with this command
cd /home && ln -s user-mainsystem/* user-secondary-system/

?

For 500 bucks you can make a build with a better processor, a better GPU, more RAM and a bigger hard drive, see here http://www.logicalincrements.com/
And building a PC is literally child's play.

I hate MacOS but i can't install a virtual machine on my mac for the time being.
Here is my question if i go with wine/winebottler how can i install games (torrent) ?

Usually i'm fine switching from one os to another but here my mind is bugged as how it works.

Wine translates system calls/library calls from windows applications into unix calls/libraries.

So it's kinda like an emulator, except you are actually running the application locally on your OS, not inside some container application that does everything itself, your OS is still really involved.

How to use it? I don't know about OSX, because I never use it. Might be some automatic way idk. But if you have Wine installed, then you just launch the exe. Wine creates a fake C drive that windows apps see. But give up unless you want to play things from before 2005. Compatability is erally bad.

>>59399769
Yes it will mess with them, don't do it. Lot's of your DE settings are stored in home, it'll create lot's of incompatabilities.

>>59403709
Unfortunately no.

How come there are so many people who claim to be atheists without even having read the Bible?

Just seems ludicrous to me to completely disavow something you haven't taken even the bare minimum of effort to learn about yet.

>>59404537
By that logic I'd need to read the Koran in order to not be a Mudslime.

>>59404537
How come you claim not to be a Muslim without even having read the Quran?

>>59404575
No, I'm not implying that at all. But to be an atheist implies more than just a lack of belief (this would make you an agnostic), it implies a conviction that these belief systems are outright false. To make a statement like that you need to know a thing or two about the belief systems you are criticizing.

Does amazon guarantee their 3rd party seller prices or is scamming a thing?

Never used amazon before

I dont need to read a book to not believe in a magical necro wizard in the sky.Who is omnipotent,omnipresence,omniscience at the same time but still allows evil to exist

>>59403188
I'm just asking what is the benefit, I already know how to use Linux as an operating system and maybe a little bit more advanced stuff.

>>59404596
What does "guarantee their prices" mean in this context? Guarantee that you won't be charged more than is printed there?

Anyway in general you're more protected on stuff that is fulfilled by Amazon since in those cases Amazon handles returns too and you can get a refund without ever communicating with the seller. Scamming does exist though, especially with counterfeit stuff being sold can be pretty rampant in third party sellers. Most will give a refund if you call them out on it, but they obviously are hoping most won't notice.

I mean I found a desktop computer on amazon and there was a "see all buying options" button

One of the sellers listed the computer as "new" and is selling it at a price that is mindbogglingly good. It's a 1,000$ machine roughly and they are selling it for around $300.

I'm wondering if that is "guaranteed" by amazon or if I'm gonna get an empty cardboard box. Seems like it'd be a scam but I don't know how amazon works

>>59404625
Do you know how to use the command line well?

The benefit is that lot's of the non-Microsoft tooling works waay better on Linux. Ever tried to write C or C++ on Windows? It's a nightmare. On Linux you just run gcc.

If you just wanna learn msoft technologies, don't use Linux. But it has such a wider ecosystem, with better tooling. Boring crud business app jobs are Windows. Fun interesting programming jobs are Linux/Unix.

I'm trying to watch the New assassin's creed movie. I got it from the bay. It's a rip with an SRT. But for some reason VLC wont run the SRT file and I don't know why. it wont pull up, nothing. Is there a way to make it run?

(I want to say this is why it didn't do so well cause it seems like most of this movie is in spanish and americans for the most part don't care to read subs this long unless they are already a weeb)

>>59404537
Yes, you're implying that we need to read a book based on a something that happened over 2k years ago with no proof at all. We have no use for religion in this day N age. Now, it's ok to believe in God, something that maybe out there, cool do that, but when you believe in a fairytail that basically explains that there's a man that walks on water and does other magic tricks while NO ONE else can do it, you explain to me why people believe in it.

Why can't I walk on water with prayer? If we are all god's children, why can't we turn water into wine?

See my point? If you still question "How come there are so many people who claim to be atheists without even having read the bible?"
Then you are dumber than you look.

>Who is omnipotent,omnipresence,omniscience at the same time but still allows evil to exist

Job 42:2: “I know that you can do all things and that no plan of yours can be thwarted.” Job was acknowledging God’s omnipotence in carrying out His plans. Moses, too, was reminded by God that He had all power to complete His purposes regarding the Israelites: “The LORD answered Moses, ‘Is the LORD's arm too short? You will now see whether or not what I say will come true for you.’”

An omnipresent God saw all that he had made...the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array (Genesis 1:312:1).

Psalm 147:4-5 tells us, He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.

>>59404602
>god is allowing evil to exist
this is like the most retarded shit you can say against religion

god gives you free will to do whatever you want, if you wanna murder a prostitute you can, god wont do some magic to stop you because than that is not free will. therefore all evil that exists is created by people because they have free will.

KEEP IN MIND im not some religions fanatic so dont go apeshit this is just common sense you lack.

>>59404724
Well things sold by third party sellers can go one of two ways, either it's shipped out by the seller, or it's fulfilled by Amazon, meaning it's sitting in their warehouse and shipped by them, on the same terms as anything else they would sell. If something is fulfilled by Amazon then they will handle all returns, and their return policy basically lets you return anything for any reason within a certain window with only a possibility of a slight restocking fee if your return doesn't have a good reason. Getting outright scammed would almost certainly mean this fee would be waved. If it's shipped out by a third party it could go either way, they might give you the runaround but you could probably complain to Amazon to get things resolved eventually, just would be significantly more of a pain in the ass.

Either way, scamming can happen easily, but not likely the "send someone an empty box" variety since it would just lead to a refund anyway. Nothing stopping people from stalling you for months and saying your shit got back ordered, or sending you an inferior product and hoping you don't notice, though. I would say the odds of being scammed aren't quite as high as something like eBay, but still if something sounds too good to be true you should tread carefully.

>>59404798
Please read what each word means. How can god allow evil to exist if he is all knowing, all being and all powerful?
