DSA is too small these days.
Don't know about ECDSA.

If you have confidence in the elliptic curve stuff, then go for it.

I know there was one dodgy elliptic curve that was put out as a standard and got panned for it.

Anything wrong with the tried and true non-elliptic curve stuff?

I have asked a computer repair store to change my hard drive because I didn't want to scratch the back cover. They did a fine job with that but I'm wondering if they did take a copy of my hard drive. There was nothing personal in it but what worries me is the fact that my copy of Windows is going to be on it regardless.

So how do the manufacturer Windows licenses work? Can they copy my hard drive and use it on another computer?

Not Quantum Computer proof. I guess.

I had nothing on it, I just wanted to put in the SSD from my old laptop but I didn't have any tools with me so I asked a shop to do it. I'm glad they can't use my copy to deploy to other machines because the only other thing they can do with it is jerking off to a fresh installation of Windows.

Ah well, okay, yeah.
So, my Android device won't let me move apps to the SD card unless I adopt it as internal storage. Adopting it is cool and all but, when encrypted, specially my sd card, everything goes to shit, as in everything is damn slow when booting up. I do think my sd card is bad with encryption, I don't know. Last time I had boot problem and I didn't really do anything, just that, I think, the sd decryption panicked or something. What can I do? nothing right?
I formatted the sd card to remove its adopted status, and everything is normal now, but I miss moving apps to my sd.
As to why I have my phone encrypted: I am worried that if I lose it someone might be able to get important data I care about or might be able to use my accounts.

Not a very involved tech person, please be gentle:
I'm having driver problems with a new device (specifically a Wacom drawing tablet/display, Wacom is know for their shitty drivers). I also had drivers for previous Wacom devices on my computer, and I think that's where the problem is.

Even though I have uninstalled the software, there's still a bunch of leftover Wacom files on my C drive.

If I just select them all and delete them manually, will that make for a cleaner re-install or cause me even more problems?

DUDE I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING

this computer will not fucking connect to my houses WiFi.

I've connected to LAN, I've connected to my Hotspot, I've Uninstaller and reinstalled my driver, I've tried a different wireless connector, I've tried too many things and it REFUSES to connect to my houses wifi and I've tried many many other methods

Whyyyyyyy?
>>
>>59665768
It has nothing to do with encryption. That's all handled by dedicated hardware, so after the initial setup there's virtually no impact on performance. The reason you're probably seeing a slowdown is that the sd card REPLACES your faster internal storage. Internal gets disabled and more or less used as a backup. If you just want to relocate program files I would root and use a dedicated app

It really doesn't matter unless you have a terrible cooling solution.
All HP mode does is set the cores to not park, which means that they are all active, all the time, so the CPU generates slightly more heat than on balanced, but it doesn't make a difference to multicore loads.

I actually disassembled my PC to dust it out when I installed the hard drive back into the computer after realizing it wasn't the problem, or least that removing it didn't fix the problem. It still keeps popping up. It seems to pop up more frequently the more the drive is accessed though, like it was popping up really rapidly when I was playing a game. IDK if that was just a coincidence though, since the error message also pops up without the drive installed.

hey /g/
I helped my friend build his first self-built this evening... we ran into a problem with the RAM
PC would just get stuck in a looping booting and rebooting when he had both of his RAM sticks in... but when we took out one of them it worked fine.
Upon inspection of the 'bad' RAM the dimm pins on the edges are like kind of like shorter on the edges... I don't have a pick as the RAM is at his house now.
This isn't normal right? pic kind of shows what it looked like. Gonna test it again tomorrow if it doesn't I'm gonna have him RMA it to newegg.

I just tried and it's barely 2°C difference.

Speaking of temps, no matter the benchmarks I use I can't get it to run hotter than low 70°C (realbench for 15min did that) - should I be happy? I suppose the real question is, when I'll get to play something like Battlefield 1, will it get hotter than the values I got from all these benchmarks or am I to expect something lower than that? I can't try BF1 yet because I haven't bought a GPU yet, I'm not particularly a huge gaymer.

>>59667432
Forgot to mention the CPU in question is an i7-7700K whoops.

70'c is the target temperature for the boost algorithm, it will downclock so that it doesn't go above 70'c

First time reading this, I'm a bit skeptical, especially since I see so many gameplay videos with 7700K being well over 70°C.

As for your question, I have no idea how I could answer it. Also, my vcore is at 1.250 although I'm still in stock settings (4400mhz on 4 cores), I could probably lower it more to get better temps.

Speaking of mhz, it's said the 7700K goes to 4.5ghz single core on stock but I only see 4400mhz for all 4 cores; is that 4.5ghz thing just a lie or is it simply impossible for me to witness it? Or is something wrong with my settings?

Alright, just never seen it in HWiNFO64.

Speaking of benchs, the scores I got on things like Cinebench were normal (i.e. other people would get the same score as I did), but when I tried Dolphin or RealBench I had pretty bad scores - was it because I'm not using a GPU and still using the iGPU? I sometimes worry my 7700K is shit or that I'm not using the right settings or something.

It's probably a bad ram slot rather than a bad dimm. Try testing with just one stick installed but in the other ram slot. If it won't boot when that particular slot is populated then it's a bad slot.

It works in that it correctly displays the function you described. Did you want to run the function for a result? Then you have to call the function

if (oppChoice == 1) { return "Opponent chose rock." }
if (oppChoice == 2) { return "Opponent chose paper." }
if (oppChoice == 3) { return "Opponent chose scissors." }

Yeah, it would be mostly indoors, and stationary.
Screen size isn't important since I'd connect it to a monitor anyway.

I just need to use it as dedicated windows machine, since I'm tired of running VM and dual booting.
I want it to replace the current desktop which is pentium 4 with 512MB of ram.
So any thing is an upgrade.

The main issue is the price, I don't want to spend more than 250$, and less moving parts means less maintenance.

yes, unplug them. not sure about 8 and 10, but in windows seven if you have an ssd for system and an hdd for storage, you install windows 7 on the SSD while the hdd is plugged in, it'll automagically install the bootloader in the HDD's MBR. don't ask me why it's a piece of shit, but it's better to unplug everything else before a clean install. installing an MBR after install is not too hard, but it's fucked up (need hirens boot, etc.)

>shit battery life
Yet they'll last you a whole day no problem, if the battery isn't worn to shit. Which is also something that will happen to a modern ultrabook.
Batteries get worn, anon. It will happen to any modern ultrabook claiming 16 hours too. What do you think will happen to those 16 hours in 3 years once the battery has gone through hundreds of charge cycles ?
8-12 hours on a 20 series Thinkpad with a good battery isn't shit, far from it. And on those machines, swapping in a new battery is as simple as undoing one latch. You can even still buy brand new genuine Lenovo batteries for them.

I wouldn't recommend one to someone looking for a modern ultrabook either, though. But if you're going to point out flaws, get your shit straight.
Your brightness complain is shit too. While not as bright as better, modern screens, they are matte and don't need to be as bright because of it. They're bright enough to use in direct sunlight, as long as you're not using a shitty darkasmysoul(TM) colour scheme in whatever you're viewing.
The screens ARE mostly shit. Most of them, with 2 (two) exceptions are fucking horrible. But brightness isn't the issue, the issue lies in a lack of contrast, shit colour reproduction, and viewing angles.

>>59670740

really? i find that hard to believe. the markup on gaming systems tends to be pretty big. for budget systems, the cost does tend to be similar, ignoring things like pre owned hardware, OS etc. i don't think they make a lot of profit on those. but gaming systems are a total con and you can save a lot of money if you build your own. unless you're one of those time = money people with a life.
>>
>>59671032
i have it and it's great. if you play high speed competitive games (i.e. arena shooters), you want a tn panel, as they're slightly faster than ips panels. but if you really care about viewing angles and slightly better colors colors, go with an ips screen.
i would recommend eizo, with similar specs (144hz/gsync/ulmb) and an ips panel.

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.

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

Many users (like you) do not understand the difference between the kernel, which is Linux, and the whole system, which they also call “Linux”. The ambiguous use of the name doesn't help people understand. These users often think that Linus Torvalds developed the whole operating system in 1991, with a bit of help.

What they found was no accident—it was the not-quite-complete GNU system. The available free software added up to a complete system because the GNU Project had been working since 1984 to make one. In the The GNU Manifesto we set forth the goal of developing a free Unix-like system, called GNU. The Initial Announcement of the GNU Project also outlines some of the original plans for the GNU system. By the time Linux was started, GNU was almost finished.

Most free software projects have the goal of developing a particular program for a particular job. For example, Linus Torvalds set out to write a Unix-like kernel (Linux); Donald Knuth set out to write a text formatter (TeX); Bob Scheifler set out to develop a window system (the X Window System). It's natural to measure the contribution of this kind of project by specific programs that came from the project.

If we tried to measure the GNU Project's contribution in this way, what would we conclude? One CD-ROM vendor found that in their “Linux distribution”, GNU software was the largest single contingent, around 28% of the total source code, and this included some of the essential major components without which there could be no system. Linux itself was about 3%. (The proportions in 2008 are similar: in the “main” repository of gNewSense, Linux is 1.5% and GNU packages are 15%.) So if you were going to pick a name for the system based on who wrote the programs in the system, the most appropriate single choice would be “GNU”.

(Followup)

To be more pedantic about it, you can make an *editor* that doesn't try to interpret the bytes, such as a hex editor, but that is by definition not a *text editor*. The whole point of a text editor is that it interprets bytes as text, i.e. interpreting individual bytes as symbols and interpreting the whole file as a sequence of such symbols. The thing about a hex editor is that it performs as little interpretation as possible, and in particular does not try to interpret bytes as symbols.

You install it. On debian and *buntu it's the rename package. On arch it's called perl-rename.

Installed Archlinux and have been having problems with audio/video sputtering every so often. It happens with mpd, mpv, youtube. Pretty much anything with audio.

What troubleshooting tips should I do?

Nope. 96 dpi is perfect for WIndows, so it's about 23" for FullHD. https://www.sven.de/dpi/

neither of those affect disk access speeds
chances are you just fixed misaligned partitions in the process, misaligned partitions can negatively impact performance even on hdd's

If I have a backup, why not just run vdev striping (raid0)? Why waste space on raidz (raid5)?
>>
>>59674326
1. if a disk dies, you can't access any data until you replace it and restore the backup
2. raid0 is not redundant, so zfs will be unable to recover from bit rot, you might as well not be using zfs
>>
>>59674403
>you might as well not be using zfs
It has enough other features that make it worth using. And detecting bit rot without being able to fix it is still better than not detecting it at all.
>>
>>59674326
uptime

raid5 can survive 1 disk failure
which means it can have a better uptime than raid 0 (which can't survive any disk failures)
>>
>>59674458
i'd just use btrfs raid0
more flexible, faster, and has most of the same features (subvolumes, CoW, checksumming so it can detect bit rot anyway as well, etc)
>>
>>59674458
What can I do if bit rot is detected?

>>59674480
Yeah, but doesn't it put a huge strain on the other disks while the one disk is missing which could lead to another disk failure? And then there's resilvering.

Why even bother with anything other than raid0?

>>59674507
This sounds interesting.
>>
>>59674524
>This sounds interesting.
yea, btrfs is a nice filesystem
it's raid5/6 support is broken, last i checked, but the rest is solid, if you don't need raid5/6, give it a consideration, it has some advantages over ZFS for small/home usage (namely the speed and flexibility)
>>
>>59674524
>huge strain
>could lead to another disk failure
"could stop working" vs "has stopped working"
Your choice, I guess.
>>
>>59674507
I'm using btrfs myself, without any raid. I was just assuming that zfs has similar features.

>faster
Source on that? I thought zfs was more stable and had better performance, since btrfs is still in early development and has some issues.

>>59674524
>What can I do if bit rot is detected?
Replace the affected files or at least stop using them and possibly messing things up.

1. guys card died, artifacts in windows, wanned to upgrade anyway, when he wants a number, how much faster is rx 480 when compared to HD 7850?

2. I got his old beautiful asus 7850 DCII, my old c2d boots with it, but arch would not get in to x, just black screen, could be driver issues.. I installing win8 on the machine just to do some testing. I assume I will see artifacts the moment drivers are tried to be used, or failure to boot.

So oven and card.

I saw few videos on youtube how to go for hail marry and throwing the gpu in the oven for half an hour. Planning no doing so.

Any recommendations, warning?
>>
>>59674524
>What can I do if bit rot is detected?
you'll get a read error if the checksum of a block is invalid
similar to the kind of error you'd get on a regular bad disk block

if you use a redundant raid mode with zfs/btrfs, it will fix the block on its own, in the background

otherwise, you'll just have to restore the file from your backup if you have one, manually
>>
>>59674592
Good point, but unless I'm a data center, why would I care about muh uptime?

>>59674600
>>59674645
>Replace the affected files
Well that makes things easy if I have a backup. Fixing shit on its own has its own allure though, but it doesn't seem to be worth the sacrifice of precious storage space.

yea, there's ups and downs
raid redundancy's biggest advantage is uptime, if you doing a big job and a disk fails, it's great that it allows you to keep the job going while you replace the disk, with zero data loss (due to the job failing and needing to be restarted)
>>
>>59675091
I suppose that would make sense if I used it for anything other than storing files and streaming video/music.

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.

I recently bought small form factor PC that has a GTX 860m in it and a "low power" i5 processor. Obviously its not a beast or anything but it ran Crysis 3 on Medium pretty well.

I slapped it under my television as sort of an emulation box/"steam machine"/streamer/etc, and it works pretty good, but I don't know what the best method is for handling the controller. I'd like to use a wireless controller and somehow have it turn off when the system turns off instead of removing the back and taking out the batteries everytime, which I need to do with my current setup which is a 360 controller and adapter. I don't necessarily need to use this setup but its what I had on hand. As far as I can tell it has no built in bluetooth but I could buy an adapter.

I'm not against spending money or anything, but I'd like to use either a PS4/Xbox One/Xbox 360/Wii U Pro controller.

I'll take it to /v/ if thats outside the scope here.
