Mostly his live streams are programming and explanation of templeos, without anything special happening. Occasionally he has an extra special schizoid outburst, often explicitly complaining about "niggers" of various types, such as MIT Niggers, CIA Niggers and the "herd of nigger cattle" controlled by Bill Gates and the Illuminati. He once tweeted/said "I killed a CIA nigger with my car in 1990. Score one for the good guys."

>>59618405
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>>59618337
-you can order stickers directly from FSF: https://shop.fsf.org/
-from that link you can download the images on the stickers in pdf/png/svg so you can make them yourself or get them made

Is GIMP bad for drawing images from a tablet or is it just another stupid meme made by microsoft shills?

>>59618587
Yes but that's $10 for 2 or 3 nice stickers, the other ones (iBad / eliminate DRM...) are not as good looking imo.

>>59618584
Not really. Gentoo installed from an ubuntu live CD and a working slackware installation can be as good or as bad as if you installed it from the gentoo installation cd or gentoo dvd. Same goes for every other distro that can be bootstrapped from an already running system.

Thank you. Is there a way to shrink a Windows partition beyond the size Disk Management is offering? Right now it offers to shrink the partition by 7 MB while there is 40+ GB of free space.

>>59618834
GNU Icecat.

>>59618854
what about search engine?
qwant or searx

>>59618848
something is not right with that windows partition. start up windows, disable fast booting, schedule a chkdsk (just run chkdsk /f c: and it will do it for you) and reboot. After the check finished, try resizing it again. Alternatively, get Hiren's boot CD and use a windows-based partition manager program to resize the partition. The might have better NTFS tools that free software.

>>59618854
Icecat is firefox. It's literally just a recompile of firefox with a few extensions out of the box and the fsf is too lazy to recompile it on time to update it often going months till you see an update.

>>59618875
Searx. Make sure to configure the engines and disable what you don't need to speed things up.

my arch + chromium(10+tabs) runs at less then 1gig ram, that is light for me

>>59619278
Not him, but it's the opposite. Distros like debian split software into many packages, allowing you to only install the parts of a program you need and libraries without headers. Arch mostly uses a single package for everything. You have fewer packages, but the packages are significantly larger so you end up using more disk space and installing more crap you don't need.

Of course unless you're running it on a toaster, it doesn't really matter.

>>59619272
Wasn't it just debian with openbox preinstalled? Why does it need a successor?

>>59619595
What you said exactly, wasn't aware it was possible to move partitions, thank you

what distro makes the largest epen?

>>59619779
moving partitions is really pretty simple, all gparted does is move small chunks at a time, then updates the partition table to match where the data was moved to
i would normally say that this can be very slow, but that's an ssd, and it's only 18G, so it shouldn't take very long

Would anybody have an idea why debian sid is showing up as stretch in screenfetch, archey, lsb_release -a etc?

I have change my sources to unstable. Is this just how it is recognized now?

Here is my sources.list.

###### Debian Main Repos
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free contrib main

Installed from Xfce live Jessie upgraded to testing and finally upgraded to sid. I thought this would be the best method besides a net install which is not feasible for me atm due to horrible rural internet connection.

>>59622266
install gentoo

desu, qutebrowser is working extreamly nice
i didnt expected this

>>59622266
You could check the source to see how they determine your distro.

Also, what's the point of updating everything twice? Should have skipped testing.

>>59622266
strech is testing, sid is unstable afaik

>>59622266
Iirc, it's some file in /etc that doesn't get updated automatically. Probably debian_version, lsb-release, os-release or something like that.

>>59617399
this is the funniest shit

>>59622266
>a net install which is not feasible for me atm due to horrible rural internet connection.
Unless you bought a debian CD, you had to download everything anyway. You had to download it again when you upgraded.
You downloaded more stuff than you would have with a net install, because the regular CD comes with more software than you installed.
Unless you're installing on a PC that has no internet connection at all, there's no reason not to use the netinstall iso.

Can someone clear up password authentication and SSH for me?

I did the whole private-public key configuration and made it so I can only authenticate via key
but if I log into my computer without SSH/when I boot it up while I'm in front of it, I still use a password for that, right?

I currently have a pretty regular login screen after booting and just want to confirm that it'll function as usual even with the ssh server

>>59622486
Yes, ssh has nothing to do with your login screen.

>>59622572
wouldn't logging in without SSH very easily solve that problem?

I could just re-do everything, no?

>>59622554
You will no longer be able to ssh until you replace your old public key. If it's a server that you have no physical access to, you may be locked out.
Local login will continue to work, unless you completely disable the password for your user (with passwd, not ssh).

>>59622610
Try to do that with a server that's not anywhere near you. Or an embedded device where you have no local login.

Which Linux distros would work on a current nvidia graphics card out of the box? Ubuntu was locking up for my 980ti last year but a bunch of them have gotten off of X havent they?

How is fedora out of the box?

>>59622325
I have read that its better to do so. Also have tried to go from stable to Sid in one go and ended up with a broken system. I don't why its the case but have found it to be true.

I'm not sure how Debian versions can actually be named after Toy Story characters without Pixar suing the devs out the anus.

>>59622640
I don't think you can run a distro on a GPU yet.

Or to answer your intended question, anything that lets you install current propietary drivers without a hassle.

>>59622640
>Ubuntu was locking up for my 980ti
On nvidea driver or on nouveau? Locking up has likely nothing to do with X, and most likely was caused by nouveau driver's issues with acceleration (e.g. there is some fedora faq where they tell you to add "nouveau.noaccel=1" boot parameter if you experience lock-ups on nividia cards). So you can do that (set noaccel) or install nvidia driver and with nvidia's blob it should just werk on any distro

>>59622640
all distros use the same drivers

>>59622668
Those advices aren't tailored to home desktop usage.

>>59622739

>>59622739

>>59622790

As in I couldnt get the install to work because when Nouveu didnt recognize the gpu it just gave me a message and would not let me pass.

Might have to google a way to get around it but Im not sure if its possible to change anything before the actual install takes place. I could not even boot it up as a live cd same problem.

>>59622726
No, they don't. Besides only free dirvers vs. non-free drivers you also have distros with different kernel versions, and with that you get different drivers.

Any help here? Also, I noticed that TTYs get affected by this too (takes like ~2 seconds to switch).

>>59622713
How exactly is the Debian project infringing on Pixar's rights then? Before they can get convicted* of anything, they would have to break a law first. It's legal to talk to your friends about "Sid" and whatever the other names are, and you can even name your cat, your couch or your car after them. Why not a distro?

*note that I said get convicted. If your country has a good legal system you can get sued for just about anything. In that case the court would be responsible for dismissing the case and calling you an idiot in lawspeak.

>>59623090
A quick google search shows several similar issues with your kernel version. Seriously, update it.

I'm reading for a few days about RT Linux. I already implemented a few RT systems based on beckhoff technology and now want to move to RT Linux. The preemptive patch seems to solve the problem. I want to know if there is a "best" distro specific for the RT implementation.

I rarely update arch and I'm on 4.10.2. For how long have you not updated it?
There shouldn't be many issues if you update regularly, usually they appear because you're skipping versions. Also, I recommend making backups or snapshots so you can just undo an update if something goes wrong.

I didn't choose meme-arch for this reason, I just didn't like all the bloat in other distros (but arch is another bloated distro lel).
>>59623319
I've been without updates since february, maybe slightly more.

>>59623394
I use it so I can easily get up to date software when I need it. I don't care if it gets a few weeks old sometimes.
And I'm not afraid to update, but updates usually include kernel updates, requiring me to reboot and I don't like that.

this is an entirely new level of retardation on 4chan

The same for me. They should have separated kernel updates from updates in pacman to avoid reboot.

>>59623530

>>59623627
If you want to start using the new kernel you do. Or are you implying that everybody uses ksplice or smth

>Trying to install linux
>apparently too stupid to do it.

>>59623678
Why would you want to use the new Linux when you don't want to use the new Linux?

>>59623627
You need to reboot if you need to load modules. Sunday a friend of mine came to my home with a NTFS key, I had to reboot because the old kernel was not able to find its modules.

>>59623627
You need to reboot after a kernel update on arch. It doesn't keep the old kernel around, so if you need to load any new modules, you're fucked. Also afaik it doesn't restart any services like debian, so either you have to do it manually, or you'll have a potentially unstable system until you reboot.

>>59623661
I have an ssd, it still takes more than 10 seconds with typing in the encryption password and everything.
LTS kernels are even older than the one I'm using, compiling my own takes like 30 minutes of 100% cpu usage and doesn't solve anything. I do want to have a recent kernel, I just don't care about updating it every day.

The issue with the programs is more about all the stuff that is loaded in them, also they're not the same every time. Autostart doesn't really help. Also I have like 20 shells open all in different dirs with different histories, tmux sessions, etc. I don't like closing it all just for a reboot.

>>59623702
I guess if you have ocd, using the system for which reboot is preferred is very annoying until you reboot. So you just don't update so you don't have to choose b/w wasting time on reboot+restarting all apps+continuing work from where you were on vs anxiety

>>59623746

If I cat a file into a variable; this file is then stored in RAM, right?

>>59624230
why are you collecting md5 hashes

>>59624251
You should fix your workflow.

>>59624260
Finding unique files.

I'm using MD5 as example, I could use SHA1 or whatever. I haven't decided yet. But as far as I know MD5 is fastest.

If the hash isn't found, add it to the pool of hashes. If it is already in there then delete the file.

>>59624230
md5sum -c is what you need maybe?
idk, try man md5sum

>>59624273

Install fdupes, it does exactly that and further things like first comparing the filesize, which speeds everything pretty much up. It's the sanest solution for finding dupes imho.

to answer the original question, I would trust Firefox to be more up to date on web standards than any other FOSS browser, unfortunately. The glory days of webkit seem past, or am I mistaken? So if you want the latest and greatest in web technology and stay with free software, Firefox is the only option.

How do I fix this on fedora?

Skipping packages with broken dependencies:
 steam                          i686   1.0.0.54-6.fc25    rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
                                                                          2.6 M

does debian only clean /tmp on reboot or is there some script for it?

>>59624905
I have always been using firefox but in last few months i cant tolerate it anymore.
It cant handle big cites like facebook, im getting errors (stop script), youtube is laggy etc.
Also, i get less ram usage with chromium then firefox...
Arch running with qutebrowser and tabs like facebook, youtube and few more 4chan tabs, i get like 600-650mb ram usage.
And i didnt have any problem with it so far

>>59624682
wew

>>59624865
Oh no, we just have a 300mA for all the dry rooms. You'll be fine in such a case.

>>59624934
Systemd should clean it on reboots and once a day for files that haven't been used in a while.

>>59617929
Cinnamon is written with gtk, it is basically gnome that has interface simmilar with win xp. It is traditional, but i didn't like the lack of configuration options or sth like this. It's idea is to feel familiar.

Kde is written with qt, out of the box it looks like widows as well, but with a few clicks you can change anything. The gui programs you get out of the box (like file manager) are crazy configurable and powerfull. It MAY not be the stablest thing in the world, but it is totally fine. If you don't have supported gpu, it will cause problems or will break or something.

Both of them are heavy on resources, but will work even on shittier PCs. On old hardware the answer is a WM or Lxde or xfce.
I haven't use none of them in the last cuple of months, so don't judge me too hard.

Retarded question:
What exactly happens if you delete a block file, such as sudo rm /dev/sda1? Will it wipe the drive or something? What if you delete /dev/null or /dev/random?

When did /g/ start using Ubuntu?
Every terminal/screenfetch/desktop thread i see has loads of Ubuntu users.
Have all the Arch pedo's been arrested?

Just posting here because this seems like a sane thread. I want a UMPC with open hardware. Is my only solution a raspberry pi mod? Seems like every other UMPC is ridiculously expensive or closed hardware.

Or if there's any UMPCs that can run libreboot, that'd be great. Or even a way to run Arch inside of Android.

Install a DE alongside i3?

>>59625361

Yeah, but they're working on it. Beaglebone Black is also an option I've got, but even then the GPU has a blob.

Why do people shill Debian over Ubuntu? Debian stable has outdated packages, testing takes forever to get security updates and Sid isn't even recommended by Debian to use and is even more of a pain to set up than installing Arch.

Debian uses a deblobbed kernel and has better policies about free software, as well as having a better default DE.
Unstable gets new packages very fast. Testing is a bit more stable if you don't mind waiting 2-4 weeks for updates. And stable has backports if you just need to update a few packages.

i'm not certain you can remove a device node with 'rm'
either way, it's a device node, not a regular file (these are proper terms)
only writing to the device node can wipe the contents of the drive, removing the device node only removes access to the contents of the drive

for a shitty analogy, think of a straw in a glass of water, the glass being the drive, the water being the contents, and the straw being the device node
a regular file would be the water itself, the device node just provides access

>>59627436
Create a new partition and move the contents of your /home to it. Add a line to /etc/fstab so it actually gets used as your home partition. You should do this from a live cd.

Keep in mind that you don't have to do this to change your OS. You can also just make a backup of your home folder and copy it to your new installation. And don't expect everything to work perfectly if you use the same home with a new distro.

You're overreacting but /pol/ has way too many people on it and moves way too fast for it to be worthwhile not to mention how much of it is shilling. A huge chunk of it is subtle shilling for youtubers and the like. Even 'negative' posts help generate activity for them. e.g. people like paul joseph watson, styxhexenhammer, and varg. Another huge chunk is organizations like ctr or shareblue. You'll come to realize it eventually. Some of that goes on here on /g/ everyday also to a much lesser extent but they tend to OP threads and stay inside of them so it's not as much of a bother.
