What's the best way to scan multiple video files for corruption?

I need a software (for Windows), or also an online tool, for download and cut youtube video,...i only need a simple one..

>>59653964
something like this
note: only remuxes the file, fast, but i suppose it could miss some kinds of corruption
you could change it to decode the video/audio as well if you wanted to
this should be good enough for things like failed downloads though

for i in *; do ffmpeg -v error -i "$i" -map 0 -c copy -f matroska -y /dev/null 2> "${i%%.*}-error.log"; if [ ! -s "${i%%.*}-error.log" ]; then rm "${i%%.*}-error.log"; fi; done

>>59654236
Freemake

>>59654236
download: youtube-dl
cut: ffmpeg

>>59654256
Thanks, but I need something more simple and for Windows,..it's for a friend.

>>59654248
Do you mean this ? --> http://www.freemake.com/

>>59654300
Yes

Advice please!

I previously ordered a mobo from a local vendor, received it as DOA, damaged the socket pins while repacking it to ship it back. Ofcourse they said "pins fucked -> your problem" but well send to MSI and see what happens.

Meanwhile like 6 weeks pass, i buy a replacement myself as i expected getting shafted. Today i get a mail saying "Hey , whats your address, we are shipping you a replacement"

I dont know if its from MSI or they were losing sleep over it and decided to give me a new one anyway, but since i dont need it anymore my question is: Should I ask for a refund/in-store credit or just say thanks and try to sell it online (extra hassle).

tl;dr
Should i ask for refund for a mobo they are giving me as a replacement.

>>59654242
Yeah, I don't really care if it takes a long time to scan, I'd just like a pretty solid way of weeding out shit files. Will that command scan recursive directories and multiple filetypes? Will it be hard to find the errors in the log?

>>59654236
youtube-dl, save as matroska.

Edit with mkvtoolnix.

>>59654381
Use find with -exec for that.

>>59654356
I'm sure you've got some family/friend on a shittier system.

Do the right thing.

Which program or general search terms would you recommend for finding slightly obscure albums by japanese bands? I've found out about Perfect Dark so far, but there's probably a better way of doing it? Like the japanese equivalent of just searching 'bandname + albumname + blogspot'

I want to be a Linux user, but I don't know shit about it. Any directions?

I set up a free wireless hotspot on my RT-AC66U running DD-WRT because I'm a vaguely public-spirited individual. It's on its own virtual interface and subnet, and has iptables rules to allow WAN traffic on ports 80 and 443, forward DNS requests to the main router and block everything else.

Is there any way I can set up a proxy server on my main network to take all webpages requested by anyone on the guest network and replace certain words with racial slurs?

>>59654584
Just download a bunch of Distros (Ubuntu, Arch, Elementary whatever), install them to a virtual machine and try them out. Use the one you find most comfy.

>>59654584
Download and install Rufus, download fedora iso. Write it to usb stick
Boot and install fedora.

Need a mail client on Windows that works with Microsoft Exchange. I could use Outlook but I don't really fancy it.

>>59654584
Microsoft makes a distro now

>>59654381
this will do every file in the current folder, recursively
this is a lot slower, as it fully decodes video and audio tracks
this and the previous one deletes empty log files, so only ones with errors in them remain

#!/bin/bash
function check {
    logname="$(basename "$1")-error.log"
    ffmpeg -v error -i "$1" -allow_raw_vfw 1 -map 0 -c copy -c:v rawvideo -c:a pcm_s16le -f matroska -y /dev/null 2> "$logname"
    if [ ! -s "$logname" ]; then rm "$logname"; fi # remove log if empty
}

for i in $(find . -type f); do check "$i"; done

>>59654467

both youtube-dl and mkvtoolnix and available for windows

>>59654242
Unfortunately that spat out meaningless "Packet mismatch" errors for most of my videos, and failed to detect the one that was half missing

I am a retard. I struggle with simple shit such as understanding functions and for loops in Python and Java. Are there any sites out there that cater to complete dumbshits like me to explain these things in really obvious ways? I'm trying grasp Python presently, so something about that would be great.

>>59654929
my bad, didn't test with spaces in paths/files

try this

#!/bin/bash
function check {
    logname="$(basename "$1")-error.log"
    ffmpeg -v error -i "$1" -allow_raw_vfw 1 -map 0 -c copy -c:v rawvideo -c:a pcm_s16le -f matroska -y /dev/null 2>"$logname" </dev/null
    if [ ! -s "$logname" ]; then rm "$logname"; fi # remove log if empty
}

find . -type f | while read i; do echo "$i"; check "$i"; done

interestingly, i ran into a weird ffmpeg issue while testing this one (https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2014-May/021179.html)

>>59655134
Same boat (though I'm a bit further);
I recommend getting a few books, doing the Codeacademy AND Learn Python the hard way courses AND using the SoloLearn app (that's for android, dunno what else there is). Each of those starts at 0, meaning you'll go through a few different ways of learning the language, thus solidifying the core concepts first. I can up my personal collection of Python books too if you want, though they're all available for free online.

Is there some sort of software that, to put it this way, takes a screenshot of music? Like something that can record whatever is being played, from say a videogame, a movie or a song on a website?

>>59655331
you can do this with OBS, record with desktop audio unmuted. though doing this will always result in re-encoding and won't sound as good as the source, it's better to rip the source.

I'm making a simple Go Fish game in C# using .NET

should I store the player's hand server side, or just keep it client side? what is better practice

>>59655169
Dude, oh my god you're a fucking magician. I thought I was never going to find something that actually worked without having to dig through endless pages of log files every time. Fucking thank you.


It's not critical, but is there a way to exclude the error that looks like "[(filename)] Packet mismatch (20 digit number)? About 2/3 of my videos produce it, and it doesn't seem to affect their quality. It's not to hard to spot the difference because their log files end up being a few bytes vs megabytes for the actually fucked up files. I was just curious if there's an easy workaround

>>59655294
Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I've found SoloLearn to be a bit shit and Python for Non-Programmers to be pretty good. I can't use Learn Python the Hard Way because I chose to learn Python 3 and I haven't tried Code Academy.

But, yes, if you have any good recommendations for Python 3, I'd like to know them.

I use Free Antivirus for my Win10 PC. Just let it search for viruses and it found 19 of them. Pretty surprising as I always watch out of what I'm downloading. I don't know if these are real viruses or maybe just some data that the tool confuses as a virus.

However, I haven't noticed any problems with my PC. So if these a real viruses what are they doing? Could they be trojans or shit like that? Should I change all my passwords?

>>59655508
What is "free antivirus"?

>>59655441
give this a shot
filters out lines containing "Packet mismatch" before writing to log

#!/bin/bash
function check {
    logname="$(basename "$1")-error.log"
    ffmpeg -v error -i "$1" -allow_raw_vfw 1 -map 0 -c copy -c:v rawvideo -c:a pcm_s16le -f matroska -y /dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null |\
        grep -v "Packet mismatch" |\
        cat >"$logname"
    if [ ! -s "$logname" ]; then rm "$logname"; fi # remove log if empty
}

I need some help with android phones since I don't use them but my family does, hope you guys can help;

1)I'd like to remove their gmail and keep it gappless, is there a way to get whatsapp updated without the play store?
It's the only app they downloaded from there

2)To remove the apps pre-installed on the phone without rooting, should I remove the updates first and then deactivate it?

3)This happened to a member of my family only.
He had sync on for photos, video, contacts and others but I checked his google account and nothing is there (album, google photos, contacts). Do they still have them or should he have to run the app and log in from it in other for the sync to actully start?
If that's not the case, what happened and why is it empty?


pls help, I don't need a smartphone cause I have no friends so I know pretty much nothing about them.
I'm really worried about the last one, I should be the one protecting them from this shit.

>>59654584
YMMV but I installed arch on a laptop that I only used for personal use, accidently overwrote my windows partition, and just stuck with it for two and a half years. Made it my dedicated go-to for anything I didn't expressly need for work and learned through thousands of google searches.
I feel more comfortable with the platform, even if I still have a deep seated fear of repartitioning.

>>59655366
>it's better to rip the source.
Yeah I tried that but my knowledge is lmited to "look at the website's source code then ctrl f usual media formats like mpr or avi", which doesn't give any results in this case. And the song isn't on youtube either

>>59655782
1) WhatsApp can be downloaded from their site directly: https://www.whatsapp.com/android/

2) Yes, although that's not possible for all apps.

3) Wrong google account? all pictures should be at photos.google.com Dunno about this.

4) Get friends and a smartphone. (gappsless if you scared about privacy.)

Recently I read a bit about VPN services. I'm not torrenting anything or do illegal stuff on the internet. Is it still recommended to buy a VPN? The only shady things I do is watching porn or sometimes kill time on /b/ or /pol/ but I don't know if that could lead me to any troubles in future.

Server side, anything you don't want a client to theoretically have access to should be server side. If it grows in scope you may have to consider whether it's more important to have fast responses or less secure data.

It's unlikely that you'll ever need anything exclusive to ultimate. Kinguin offers super cheap keys. You shouldn't have any problems, and even if you did it's so cheap you could buy two keys and still come out ahead.

To answer your other question, keys are a means of activating a product, and just because you can activate a product, doesn't mean you're legally entitled to it.

Just fyi:

Pretty fast reply, thanks.

>1)
I'll just remove the gmail under Account > Google, is that enough?
Also what happens to the app/s downloaded under that account once you remove it and delete the account, they uninstall automatically?
As for whatapp, all their conversations should still be there once I install the app again since they are stored on their servers, right?

>3) Wrong google account? all pictures should be at photos.google.com Dunno about this.
I checked the gmail tied to the phone. Nothing was there and I felt relieved, but then I started getting paranoid.
Is there even a way to forward synced data to another account?

>4)
At the moment I'm more concerned about my family's privacy, they trust me.
Thanks again.

>>59656054
1)
Removing the Google account is not enough. Google services will still be running.

Whatsapp doesn't keep messages on their servers. Most backups are actually done via Google Drive. However, if you don't uninstall the messages will stay.

'Disabling the playstore' will keep the Apps, I don't even know if it's possible to do.

3) No way to forward synced data, no way that I know of at least. Maybe try see if syncing is enabled for pictures and contacts in settings. If enabled go to the google photos app, and try and look for options to sync folders.

>>59656054
Removing the playstore doesn't remove individual apps, although some require accounts to work. But you should be aware that it's all tied in pretty deeply, and if you try outright disabling apps it can cause a lot of issues. When people talk about going "GAPPSless", they mean installing a custom rom that doesn't include them in the first place. The google runs deep.

how do I transfer files from my old (dead) SSD to a brand new samsung 850 evo?

>>59656247
by restoring from your backup
you can't get files off a dead drive, it's dead

>>59656247
Well if it's dead you can't access the files now can you? Certainly not with consumer-grade data recovery solutions.

>>59656247
Is it "dead" as in you just can't boot to it, or dead as in you can't get a live cd to even notice it?

How can I mess with a SATA port to be faulty but not completely break it?

>>59656353
For what purpose?

>>59656353
Plug and unplug 51 times

>>59656321
when I try to boot it just gets stuck at either the login screen or the progress bar with the apple logo. I did a hardware diagnostic which told me that the drive is the source of the problem. Can I use another computer and connect both the SDDs to drag the files from one to another or is this too simple?

>>59656155
>>59656169
I don't understand what I need to do then.
If I delete an account, if they actually delete it I don't know, it says I'll lose the apps which I'm fine with, since there are alternatives.
I guess I can't just keep the phone without a mail tied to it and just disable all gapps including google play service then?
The only phone I remember the name of at the moment is a galaxy s 3 neo, can it go legit gappless?

>3)
It's disabled now, before disabling it there was a message under the option stating when the last sync took place but I can't see anything in the account, not even contacts
I googled the "problem" and there were many people complaing about it not syncing, but it seems like a different issue, like it was stuck and synced only some of them
The fact that google could have picture of my family and I can't even see them disturbs me greatly

>>59656386
If the drive is still at least partially working and there's no encryption in play, then yes, you should be able to pop it in another PC and copy the files over sata. If the OS you use doesn't recognize the filesystem, you might have to install a special tool to see the contents.

So I was given this Lenovo M71z recently, free of charge. I make videos and edit on my macbook pro (i know im gay or whatever) but am often frustrated with the size of the screen. Is it worth it to use this and just upgrade the ram and etc or should i continue saving for more recent desktop/ monitors?

>>59656588
You're not understanding what a filesystem is. If you're sticking a drive from a mac in another mac it's no problem. If you're sticking it in a PC, then everything on it will probably be complete jibberish to windows. It needs help 'translating' or you won't get one text document off of it. Software like Maple 16 should have a license you can use to redownload it.

>>59656583
figured out it by myself. suck it asshole
>>59656611
lol i said you can return the balls to the urnine if you are interested in the solution. here it is:
(1^3 + 1^3 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 1^3)/7^3

>>59656555
Successive meaning replacing I assume, because there aren't 3 matching colors that also have matching numbers.
1/7 black 1, 2/7 b2, 1/7 b3, 1/7 w1, 2/7 w2
Chance of matching is the same, ditto for third draw, so you get
(1/7)^3*3 + (2/7)^3*2

Alright /g/entoomen.

My CPU is a Phenom II X4 965. GPU is GT 640 (shut up). I am going to obviously upgrade the GPU. I was thinking a 1050 Ti 4GB or an RX 470. I am leaning heavily toward the 470.

Any reason to go for the 1050 Ti over it? More reliable....? My buddy at uni (who I just spoke with) is a self-ascribed AMD fanboy and said to go for the AMD.

I need some advice on midrange android phones.
I currently have a Galaxy S 3, rooted and running Ultimamod, but it's finally starting to crash and die on the regular. I don't want to get a top of the line phone, just something that will be noticably better than my current one.

Any advice on what brands to look at and where to buy in the UK?

how bad it is?

Hi guys! Quick question, please.

I'm having issues on transmission (Debian 8 stable) because it can't handle special characters in directories. Such as

>(11) Songs
>[SoS] Pictures

So I tried to google to research about the locales and I got nothing. Someone would point me in the good direction to change the locale for the system so transmission can understand that files?

to what kind of partition are you torrenting? ext4? ntfs?

>>59661265
why dont you just rename the directories?

>>59661265
Transmission CAN handle special characters, your setup is lacking.

Check your locale

>>59661289
Ext4 right now.

>>59661294
Because Transmission won't download anything he can't understand it. The issue is the torrents are not even veryfying because of the format.

>>59661314
I though it was that. Which locale should I have have to handle them?

Adding info, I can enter to directories with special characters if I quote them with ''. For example

 ls '(rd295)+SpeedPluss'/

Make a PiHole with a VPN.
Put between you and your private browsing computer of choice.
Do this exclusively for your dirty stinkin porn habits you pervert.

It WILL be slightly slower, but that is the price you pay for cheap privacy.
You can try some other small computing device that lets you install your own software, or even a router between your shared router and your computer, then install some custom router OS.

Either that or start visiting McDonalds / Starbucks more.

Do you have $25 for the Google Play one-time fee?

Do you actually like programming?
Really?
Even Java?

Do you have a mobile and tablet for Android?
If not, be sure to have both, or find a testing service online, or a friend.

As for ideas, go through a category, find popular apps.
Write down these apps in a loose list.
Smash apps together.
Sound good? Write up a basic summary of the app.
Still sound good?
Do a basic prototype.
Still sound good?
Let your friends and family see it.
If they like it, make it.
If not, shelf it as low priority, if you like it, maybe someone else will some day.
Unless you don't care about money, in which case still make it, niche interests generally pay more. (and actually pay instead of pirating)

Try donationware, ad-supported (no fucking pop-ups) and premium version that simply has more of [thing] or supports [more things].
But don't put shitty restrictions on free versions, it only pisses people off. They will pirate if you do douchey stuff.

Looking into doing a coding boot camp of sorts, took some programming in high school and want to get a good job in the field. Is this a better option than college? Here is the link below.

does using 'dd' or 'cat' to clone a hdd to ssd also copy the boot information?

Bump please. >>59660965

>>59661743
if you copy the entire thing, and not just a partition, then yes

>>59660095
No you didn't "do good", you left your laptop literally outside and let Tyrone steal it you retarded faggot. You shouldn't be allowed to own a laptop. Also, an i3 for $329? Holy shit you're an idiot.

>>59661756
so cat /dev/sda > /dev/sdb?

>>59661768
yes, that's valid

sdb will appear identical to sda when it's done
if sdb is bigger, you may want to open up gparted and resize things so they use the available space (the size of the partitions won't change, so you'll just have new unallocated space at the end)

ps. if you want a progress bar, check out pv (pv < /dev/sda > /dev/sdb)

>>59661768
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb

>>59661803
this is also fine, but you'll want to also specify a larger block size, the default of 512 bytes just slows things down on modern disks

so ram timings have something like

But there are actually 5 timings?

CAS latency
RAS to CAS read delay
RAS to CAS write delay
RAS pre time

is the RAS ACT time always double CAS?

what time isn't shown in the x-x-x-x meme? the ras pre time?

Don't get that. Get a 3.5inch one.
2.5 drives are generally shittier, even with all this super duper fancy tech to prevent damage from vibrations in laptops.

Likewise with the enclosure. And make sure it is a good enclosure.
Although if it is a backup drive, vibrations won't be a huge issue. However, if you have long sync times, make sure you get a cooled enclosure.
Hell, you can just use a totally bare connector and no enclosure if it is infrequently used, just get a case for the drive to make sure it isn't left electronics out in the open.

This is why I fucking hate hard rives. So shit.
Bring back Zips. They are just as capable of the same densities without the guff electronics.
We can align RW heads to nanometer precision too. Printers are more fucking advanced than hard drives are!
Generic platter design and not-shitty platter quality will remove the need for drive-unique firmwares and for dealing with shitty remapping.
But hey, CAPITALISM. Can't make too perfect a product, damn fucking commies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadamard_transform#Quantum_computing_applications

>One application of the Hadamard gate to either a 0 or 1 qubit will produce a quantum state that, if observed, will be a 0 or 1 with equal probability (as seen in the first two operations). This is exactly like flipping a fair coin in the standard probabilistic model of computation. However, if the Hadamard gate is applied twice in succession (as is effectively being done in the last two operations), then the final state is always the same as the initial state.

Thank you so much

If I create a live linux system on a USB stick to use as a portable system, what kind of speeds would I need for an acceptable user experience?

In particular, do I really need good write speeds, or not necessarily since most of the work is going to happen in RAM anyway and the USB will only be written to when explicitly saving files - or is this wrong and will low write speeds negatively impact the general responsiveness of my system?

>>59653955
I cannot lock my screen on Linux Mint XFCE (ctrl + alt + l) isn't doing anything.

Anyone know a program that would press a specific key X amount of seconds for me for an infinite amount of time?

>>59662226
I had swap on a USB1 flash drive in 2005. I know, I know, I was young, I hadn't experienced failure of data storage!
It was even responsive enough for a full-RAM Live Linux.

USB2 or 3 will be more than enough for anything intense.
Media files are more demanding than programs are, even with modern caching of media and such.

Just do not use those little tiny fuckers that are high GB ranges. They heat up like THE FUCKING NOON SUN.
Those should only ever be used for infrequent small writes.
Get a nice big flash drive.

>>59662372
OS?

Windows: Autohotkey, AutoIt.

Linux: IronAHK, Xdotool

Mac? lol fag

>>59662401
Disregard IronAHK, that seems to be dead. RIP.

Autokey Py3 seems to be active.
Advantage of that is it uses Python.
Disadvantage of that is it uses Python.
Still, at least it isn't fucking Autohotkey script. Holy SHIT. (and I use it regularly...)

How do I make it so that when I move files to my secondary HDD it MOVES them instead of COPYING them?

I know I can move them with right click instead of left and then it pops up asking me what I wish to do but it's still taking too much time, I just want to freely move my files between my SSD and my HDD without them copying themselves.

I have an ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard. It's got four ram slots, two are yellow and two are black.

There's an etching in the chip next to it that labels the slots DIMM A1, B1 A2 and B2.


I have two 1gb ram sticks. How should I have them arranged? Does it matter? I had them in A1 and B1, the two side-by-side yellow ones, but I'm wondering if maybe they should be arranged differently. My pc's performance is intolerable, but I'm sure a lot of that is just from trying to run win7 on 2 gigs of ram.

What I don't get is that it wasn't so bad before. The computer's been off for two years. I cleared out the dust, it should be fine. Virus scan's clean, there's no bloatware. It just can't reliably run firefox in its current state. It used to be able to.

thanks anyway though, I'll give it a read.


That just leaves the follow-up, is it normal that leaving a pc unused for two years will make it perform significantly worse when you go to use it again?

>>59662585
IIRC you need to plug them in the following order: A1 -> A2 -> B1 -> B2

So with two sticks you'd put them in A1 and A2. Don't quote me on that though.

>>59662597
Essentially every USB3.0 is compatible with USB2.0. Now I actually have no idea when 2.0 replaced the previous version, and whether 3.0 would be compatible with that previous version, so there's your line of research if you wanna look it up on wikipedia or something.

Never mind ignore me >>59662635 I am the retard here

>>59662597
It SHOULD work.

If it has a power cable, you will absolutely need to use it unless it is a slow drive.
If it has no power cable, you will need to get one of those fancy dual power+data cables that let you use 2 USB ports to power it.
It is most likely USB2, which will be more than enough over 2 ports to power USB3 drives.

How realistic is it to run demanding games like dark souls 3 on wine? can it be done at all? does it depend on hardware?
