I use ProtonMail as the mail server for my domain name. Obviously I get a rDNS-SMTP banner mismatch.

I can actually edit the rDNS for my IP, but it requires an A records entry to my DNS zone file.

What does this mean? Is there hope?

After replacing the cable of my headphones, i faintly hear some radio station on the right speaker (only happens when I'm on a certain position)

It's driving me crazy, how do i fix it?

>>59762181
Not possible to fix, sorry anon

>>59762198
OK no worries, thanks!

To be honest, it only happens when I'm sitting in a shitty position so i'll avoid doing it.

My microphone either doesn't work or when I turn the microphone boost up all of the way it will sound really loud for a second but be extremely quiet. Is there a way to diagnose this without getting another microphone?

do LEDs actually need resistors or can you just under volt by a tiny amount?

I've had some full spectrum LEDs going for months they say 6-7 volts
I have them at around 6 volts and I have a big heatsink on them and fans, they run around 25C (60C is their rated temp) and haven't had any issues

yet everywhere I read they NEED RESISTORS OMG THEY'RE GONNA BLOW UP people swear by it

I've always used resistors but decided just to see what happens if I keep them cooled

I need a place where I can talk to people who are experts in hardware, specifically console repair
Anyone know any good websites? And I'm not talking about general "Hurr durr my xbox won't turn on" I mean real specific info about how to get replacement transistors and shit

A few months ago I switched from windows to ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my computer
I read somewhere today that you need to sudo update-grub after you install linux and get rid of windows
I typed in sudo update-grub in the terminal, then it said WARNING something about nonzeros then went and did a whole lot of stuff automatically superfast, then said done
Did I fuck up?
Will my computer still work normally?

Is Ublock Origin really better than Adblock Plus for Fire/Waterfox? Upon switching computer I picked up UO since most people seemed to recommend it but honestly I sometimes have videos autoplaying and other shits like that happening to me. I know AB+ has whitelists and that really does suck but on my end I still did have less problems.

Is it because I don't know how to use UO? Please enlighten me.

I'm thinking about picking up a halfway decent used laptop, just for web stuff while on trips, rather than being stuck with a smartphone. The goal would pretty much just be smooth 1920*1080 YouTube playback in Firefox on Win7 or something Linuxy, probably just Debian, whichever is easier.

Any decent alternative to SVP (Smooth Video Project)? I want to watch 24-30 FPS videos in 60 FPS or higher like how modern TVs can. I wish monitors had this option but I guess it would just make them more expensive? Also SVP doesn't really support MPV on Windows like it does on Linux/Mac and I don't want to buy it and then find out it doesn't work.

I took the live action Ghost in the Shell first trailer and rerendered it at 99 fps and interpolated the existing frames between each other just to see what it looked like and now I need to watch everything like this, but it took 2-3 hours just to do this for a 2 minute long teaser/trailer so I can't just do this for everything I want to watch. But there's no going back to 23.976 fps for me. Only 59.94 FPS or higher is acceptable from now on. Please help.

>>59764748
interpolation is pig disgusting

>>59764769
But it looks so cool to me for some reason. Everything is so clear during movement and you don't have to cover it up with motion blur like you do with traditional 24 fps. If filmmakers recorded in 60 or 144 fps by default then I'd prefer that. I wish filmwatchers were as passionate about framerate as gamers are. Games are pushing for more and more fps and stability while film is stuck in the past. We see way more fps in real life so I don't get why we need to be stuck at 24/30 when watching a youtube video or movie. I'll take interpolation at this point because it's the only foreseeable solution.

Which video editing program should I use for extremely simple cutting/cropping of video? (I just want to save a 2 minute scene from a 30 minute video)

No one is going to ask you sorting algorithm questions for an IT position. But that's the least of your problems. Do you have any work experience? Look into obtaining an A+ cert and search around for Desktop technician or help desk jobs. Definitely look into going to school, it doesn't even need to be a 4 year school. But having formal education on your resume will land you more interviews than without one, especially in a competitive job market like in Chicago.

no that's the interpolation effect. It's the black screens morphing into the next frame so it looks like a quick fade in or fade out when it should just be a one-time switch. this is my first after effects project so I don't know how to make the effect stop when I want it to.

>>59763737
You can pirate Photoshop. You're locked into a year long contract with Adobe, and cancelling requires you to pay for half of the remaining year you have. I've learned this the hard way.

>>59765097
Here's what the actual trailer looks like without the effects:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vctm5VD7qKQ

rendering more frames just adds existing frames by itself so I added the interpolation stuff to fill in the gaps and make use of all those frames

Guys, how do web developers even make money?

They all seem to be supporting themselves just fine, but I looked at their business website and they've only designed like 4 fucking websites for small family businesses

there are a million other people they could have contracted and they probably could have made their websites in 5 minutes using square space..

I still have a massive problem with youtube framedropping.

I have a 2500k and a 7970 so reasonably powerful gear at least for playing youtube videos.

Some anon recommended h264lify a couple days ago because it might have to do something with VP9, but I monitored it and it didn't really help. See pic related, literally unwatchable on 2x speed.

CPU usage hovers between 30-60% and GPU usage between 20-30%, RAM is at 40% so no component is at full load.

But it seems to be some kind of problem with multitasking or whatever since when I have a twitch stream in the background or something similar, performance is even more abysmal. But sometimes it's also just the video. This is the test video btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUOtTEMn-RU

/g/ In your honest opinion which of these remotes will work with a VIZIO blu ray player?

I have this program in my state where I can get funding to take courses on various different things. I'm looking at the following-
CCNA Training Program
CompTIA Network + Cert. Prep (would take the test as well after the course)
CompTIA A+ exam
JAVA Certificate program (I've been teaching myself some C++. JAVA is the only programming course offered through this program though. I'm quite interested in this one but the cost would be basically all of the funding)
MCSE 2008
Microsoft Certified Professional Program

So other than the Java course, I could take a few of the other ones. I didn't list everything available, just what I'm interested in. Could I get some feedback from you all on what you think of my options/why I should take whatever you suggest? Thanks.

How stressful is it for the RAM?

Very weird issue here. Three moniors, 1 through DP adapted to HDMI and two through DVI adapted to VGA. Everything works fine, unless I'm playing videos with a lot of... activity? Not sure what the best way to explain it is, but if I load up something like a high bitrate video of confetti on one specific monitor it causes the monitor to constantly refresh. If I move it to any other monitor, I have zero issues. I assume it's an issue with the GPU, because it only happens with one DVI port and the HDMI port, but it's weird that it didn't either break one port or broke all at once. Anyone else had a similar issue?

>>59768825
>>59767966
Don't have much of a background other than "I like compooters" currently. I'm going back to college in the fall for CS, but in the meantime I need a better job (to pay for said school), and I'd prefer one that's tech/networking/IT-related. I don't currently know enough code or have enough programming experience to get a job doing that, so I thought I'd give any of the above.mentioned courses a go.
Basically- my goal is learning for the sake of learning and possibly better work.

It's decent in that it doesn't only show you Cisco's technologies, it explains networking in general rather well.

what codec pack should I install to play Blu-Ray on Media Player?

>>59769663

That's not shit you just get in a codec pack. Blu ray is licensed shit, usually only comes with paid players. There's a way to hack it into vlc, but no guarantees it works with everything

What is the best and the fastest way of testing RAM? Memtest86? I've heard that 5 passes is enough to determine if a stick is corrupted or not. Is that enough and how long does a pass usually take?

>>59769406
yes, checksumming is always on by default
by default, data is "single" profile, and metadata is "dup" profile (duplicated)
so even with a single disk volume, metadata has some protection again corruption (checksums + two copies), and data you can at least recognize if something is corrupted (checksums)
(you can also set data to "dup" on a single disk volume as well, though you'll halve the amount of data you can put on it)

>>59769773
try to let it complete all the tests at least once
while some totally fucked once will start spewing errors within seconds of testing, others might hold up until the later, more complex tests

>>59769820
Awesome, btrfs it is then. I have a complete backup of everything but I want to migrate both data sets onto btrfs.

Is there a reason to use simple drive spanning as opposed to raid0? I don't really need the redundancy but the speed boost would be nice.

>>59769820
Does duplicating the metadata take up a lot of space? Are there any unintended consequences to using BTRFS on windows?

Will there be any trouble if I upgrade from ubuntu 14 to 16? I'm currently running btrfs 3.12 and ubuntu 16 is on 4.4 I believe. Will it just twerk?

1. get a vps in japan
2. run TOR configured with by-country exit node filtering

>>59769883
>Is there a reason to use simple drive spanning as opposed to raid0?
yea, you have a chance of recovering some stuff with a spanned volume, as whole files are on single disks
if you're cool with needing to restore from backup should a disk die, then just go with raid0 and get its benefits

>>59769886
>Does duplicating the metadata take up a lot of space?
it makes the metadata twice as big, in most cases metadata is small relative to normal data, but that depends on what you're storing, shittons of tiny files could produce unusually high amounts of metadata

>Are there any unintended consequences to using BTRFS on windows?
is there a windows port?
that doesn't really sound like a good idea, but i don't know about about this

>>59769934
you should use as new a kernel as you can with btrfs

I'm looking for something free as said and using a proxy with a Chrome add-on seems like the easiest method. I only want to do a quick purchase on a website so a paid VPN isn't worth it for me.

>>59770125
well i couldn't recommend any free service for tunneling a /purchase/ through, that's just asking for trouble

>>59770116

What are the risks exactly and how likely are those?

This seems like a lot of trouble for one purchase...

>>59770282
"Free Proxy" Means it's worth it to someone to spend money on servers/bandwidth because of the information they can take from your connection. You're also placing them in a prime position to do a MITM attack

>>59770241
interesting, but i can't speak for it
it's not even a port, but a reimplementation, so it's possible nothing i've said applies to it

>>59770282
>What are the risks exactly
a proxy is, by definition, a MitM (man-in-the-middle), instead of your data going directly between you and the destination, it's processed by a third party (the proxy)
that third party could view/edit your data

that said, there are things that allow for secure communication over insecure links, namely certs. if you disallow unencrypted connections, and actually check the certs to ensure they're what they're supposed to be, and the CA hasn't been compromised, then you can pretty sure your data hasn't been messed with

>>59770408
>>59770421
I see. But couldn't a proxy you buy do the same technically? Well I guess those are less likely to do it because they want to keep the business going.
>there are things that allow for secure communication over insecure links, namely certs. if you disallow unencrypted connections, and actually check the certs to ensure they're what they're supposed to be, and the CA hasn't been compromised, then you can pretty sure your data hasn't been messed with
This seems kind of high level for me. Urgh. I kind of don't know what to do here, monthly maintenance stuff isn't worth it for my erratic purchases and I don't need the proxy for anything else so it'd sit still the rest of the 29 days. What are the cheapest reliable services anyways?

>>59770560
>This seems kind of high level for me.
kek. He's talking about HTTPS

>>59770600
Sorry I'm not good with computers. But I imagine it isn't as simple as plugging a free HTTPS proxy from Google, is it? If that works and avoids having my credit card stolen then I'm wondering why I wasn't told that from the start

>>59770174
thanks

>>59770664
you misunderstand, while that was talking about https, just using https isn't enough, you must also ensure the certificates that validate your https session are themselves valid
MitM is still possible with https, but they're only easy if you can fool someone into ignoring an incorrect certificate, as reading or editing an https connection requires decryption and re-encryption, and re-encrypting with the same cert is something only the intended destination's server can do (unless their private keys were stolen), hence why it's useful for verifying who someone is

bought my x220 what comfy entry level distro should i get on it?

>>59770664
>HTTPS proxy
It's the little things, that make this thread worth while.

No dude, he's saying that if you use secure connections on all your web pages, that goes a long way. Use the browser plugin "HTTPS Everywhere" and check for the little padlock icon next to the url in your browser whenever you're exchanging sensitive information

>>59770767
and then there's this guy
the padlock just means it's encrypted (at least the main page body), it says nothing about who you're connected to

>>59770739
How do I exactly check whether the certificates are valid? And assuming I have done that, is my proxy relatively safe to do a purchases with then?

Is this really google's doing?

>>59770866
if the cert is valid, then it's usually safe
you can only fake a valid cert by either;
- compromise a trusted CA to create a new technically-valid cert for that domain
- steal the key used to encrypt traffic from the destination web server
both are pretty unlikely

>>59771037
(oh, not to say both haven't happened before, they have)

I feel like I missed something as to why a free proxy is bad then, because I'm getting this Secure thing with one right now. It's not 100% but quite unlikely as you said for anything to happen, right?

I opened Youtube through a VPN, with no cookies and having both ublock and umatrix enabled, and it still had my language by default instead of English. How the fuck is that possible? Is it some browser setting? (I use nightly). How could it know what language to set?

>>59771135
keep in mind many sites rely on third parties to do the actual purchases, such as paypal
a valid cert on amazon.co.jp doesn't mean the connection to paypal you get when finalizing something will be valid as well, they're different domains

>>59771196
Is confirming that as simple as going on Paypal, logging out, activating the proxy and seeing if it's still secure?

- you have no unencrypted connections
- every encrypted connection has a valid cert
- you use a trustworthy browser, using at least a clean profile when dealing with money is a good idea

So I have a third party controller for my PC and WIndows recognizes it fine, but certain games don't recognize it at all and others do

I know it has something to do with Xinput and Directinput, but I dont really know what else

I know I can use a program like JOytokey to emulate keyboard controls for games that are difficult, but I want to know if there's a better program, like one that I dont always have to launch and then close after the game starts. Is there a better program that can "associate" with a shortcut so it launches and closes when the game launches and closes?

Bsaically if you know any cleaner alternatives for using a controller on PC for games that arent supported natively, Id like to know as it is a bit bothersome to always have to open J2k and choose the profile and then start the game and then close the game and then remember to close J2k everytime

>>59771632
the t in "t.paypal.com" is a subdomain, subdomains are legit

ok guys, I've been trying to fix this since monday

I got an external hard drive, 2TB western digital
I want to remove files from it but none of the menus, when exploring that disk only, has the delete option.
I went and checked options and it displays everything is on order and I'm the owner with full powers, but if I go deeper into the set ownership menus it shows that something like S-1-5-21-2532414etc is the owner
so I go lower and set myself as an owner except that can't be done because now the drive is apparently protected against writing. I've been trying to enable writing but I can since I'm not an owner and so I'm stuck in a loophole and I don't know how to fix this.

I wanted to remove only some files so if possible I'd like to avoid erasing the drive completely

>>59772278
I already knew about the cache, but what I wanted to know if modifying an image would overwrite the location were it's saved on the hard disk.

>>59772200

I am a paranoid bitch that wants to use Tor for the explicit purpose of hiding my browsing history from my ISP. I'm only going to use it to watch legal porn and browse 4chan. Other than that I have no security concerns (that I know of)

Chrome should be a non issue for hiding stuff from your ISP, although it's a botnet in general. If you're concerned about your privacy Firefox is a good start but there may be other options out there.

hey /g/
Is there a way to view the data which is in my browser cache. Like pictures ?

>have an HMDI/DVI screen.
>want to play super smash bros melee (gamecube).
Should I buy a Wii with backward compatibility or a gamecube ?
What adapter should I use for lowest possible lag ?

(Yes I know it would be cheaper with a computer.)

On GPU benchmarks in reviews, they always tell you the resolution and preset setting. But they almost never say what MSAA is set to. Is it usually turned off?

>>59774512
Buy a PVM for $50.
Or a Trinitron CRT.

Why did they rip off Fight Club?
I mean, it would've still been a good show even if they didn't rip off Fight Club

I want to get into PC building, but I'm not sure if I should stick with my HP Compaq 6005 and slowly upgrade or start from scratch. Any suggestions?

>>59762138
Why can't I mount my hybinated win8.1 hard drive in Opensuse? Startup is corrupted and I can't get it to boot so that I can shut it down properly and I need some important files off it.

Should I allow my NAS rated HGST hard drives to sleep? PC runs 24/7

>>59774688
That depends on what settings the preset in the particular game uses
>>59774875
What the fuck do you mean? How did they rip off?

I've just installed Antergos and it runs wonderful, but when I was installing I accidentally set the system language as the keyboard layout, now the system language is the same as the keyboard layout, So, how do I change it? No, I'm not a pajeet

Can pic related can be powered with a standard PSU?
Dell 576202-001

>>59774966
What the fuck is a standard PSU?

>>59774939
>What the fuck do you mean? How did they rip off?
Have you seen the whole first season? I mean, I'm really enjoying the show but they kind of copied Fight Club. They even used that Pixies song

>>59774966
What is that, an 18 pin and 10 pin connector? I don't think so...

>>59774966
That's a lot of RAM

All the PSU i've seen have 20+4 pin or/and 4pin connectors, but this mobo have only a 8 pin and 12 pin connectors

>>59775095
I see an 8, 10, and 18 pin connector

Lets say someone posted an image in discord chat and removed it after 1 secound. Is the image saved to my browser cache ?

What is Turbolan and is it actually useful?

i was about 80% of the way into a torrent download and it got an error because i accidentally put it on the wrong drive with not enough space, and had to delete the torrent, but not the file.

is there any way to use the same exact torrent with the already existing data? i'm using deluge, and choosing the storage to where the files are doesn't seem to be working, it just makes a new folder. it's like a 3 day download so i'd like to not have to do it all over again

Are there good steps to diagnose what's wrong with a laptop? My laptop can't boot from anything (HDD, USB, CD/DVD). I'm able to access the BIOS and it sees the memory. When I boot it gets stuck on the Toshiba logo but if I change the order to boot from a USB it passes the logo but hangs at a frozen underline cursor. What should I do?

>>59775214
Is Secureboot on?
UEFI on?

Turn both off.

>>59775208
Just point to the new location where the data is stored

>>59775224
Both UEFI and Secure Boot are off and I'm using AHCI instead of Compatibility in the BIOS

>>59775241
Remove the HDD and try to boot from a Linux USB.

>>59775257
That's what I'm currently trying but it doesn't work still a black screen after Toshiba logo

>>59775225
what?

>>59775284
when I boot from a Linux USB without the HDD. I see the Toshiba logo but after that I get a black screen

can someone lend me a hand in order to fix mis aligned audio tracks in video files? downloaded 100 files that need to be fixed. how can i do this with ffmpeg?

Does an LTSB 1703 (Creators Update) exist already? I wish to update from 1607.

I have a 1600MHz RAM in my build, what would happen if i add a 1333MHz stick?

>>59775457
It wouldn't boot.

What's a good lightweight firewall?

>>59775497
iptables.

I know this gets asked all the time; but I want to get a laptop for college.
Something light, fast, etc.
I'm looking to spend around $500.
I like the Asus zenbooks, but they're a little pricy.
What's a good choice in that price range?

>>59775566
What are you going to do on it?

Because for most stuff, everyone will tell you get a used $100-200 Thinkpad and put a $80-100 SSD on it.

I have an old WRT54G router. I want to extend the range of it by about 30 feet.

I have read about installing new firmware on these routers. Will that firmware allow me to increase the power consumption and signal strength of the router and get more range? I only need a little bit further than what it can already do.

>>59775603
I'm not going to lie it won't be anything intense and $100 Thinkpad would probably work, but I tend to overdo things with thechnology to sort of future-proof myself.
Something that five years from now will still boot up quick and won't get hung up loading anything.

What are some good vpns? I am currently looking at NordVPN and TunnelBear. Are those good or botnet?

Every 2 hours or so an svchost process comes up and hogs like 12 CPU and causes my CPU temps to rise by like 7 degrees or so.

The process can be killed with no consequences. Any way I can figure out what's causing this so I can just prevent it from happening at all?

>>59775624
So a Thinkpad with a SSD again.

Unless you do something different in 5 years it will be enough.

>>59775708
Probably just telemetry being sent to the NSA. Can't really do shit since you've opted in for a botnet (Windows).

Can someone make a new thread?
