are the 2tb usb 2.0 flash drives on wish worth the $10?
I don't have cash on hand for 8tb worth of rotary drives and a case+mobo+cpu as a backup, and $40 seems hella cheap for 8tb that I can easily keep as an off-site weekly/monthly backup.

Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series would be a good start. They're not the lightest but they're cretainly not a brick.
Asus also has some good offerings, though their cheaper stuff is kinda flimsy.

Why is it that opening the same file in both Media Player Classic and VLC will show different runtimes? Pic related. I downloaded VLC just to check if it was actually because of the media players.

I'm trying to use a program called Syncplay to watch shows with friends but its a bit of a problem if the runtimes are different between us. (I use MPC and friends use VLC)
Anyone know whats going on here?

>>59849425
There's actually a neat trick where you can take a win7 pro key and upgrade it to 10 pro, provided you already have 10 installed.
afk a second, but will find a link for you if you don't find it yourself before I get back.

Guys I got a big problem and I'm not sure what to make of it.

I think I have a virus but I have scanned every bit of my computer with Kaspersky anti-virus, malware bytes and the adware tools. I have use that shark tool to look at my network traffic and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

This is what my computer does, randomly on 4chan when I try to type in a quick reply or in the message box and as soon as I use my mouse it will either randomly grab a captcha(like you are moving something) or it will grab a 4chan tab and then try and paste it. Now it only seems to happen with 4chan stuff but I think in the past it had happen with other links as well.

If this has had happen to any of you guys and its the sites is being faulty, please let me know because I'm about to nuke my SSD.

so tl;dr when on 4chan mouse randomly grabs captcha or 4chan tab and tries to paste it(not sure what kind of virus would do that)

>>59849738
But it's not what is hard to understand here? You either pay them for the upgrade or you reinstall they are not going to let you download the upgrade from their servers for free

>>59849777
Just use a virtual keyboard to post on 4chan

What's a reliable external harddrive brand? I reciently had a 3tb toshiba hdd fail with years worth of shit on it only after a few months of use. I managed to recover some data but still need somthing to store it on.

I have an old gaymen desktop with a Phenom II 965, 8GB of RAM, and a 650 watt power supply. The video card went ded (Radeon 5830 HD) and a friend of mine is offering to sell me his GTX 970 for $150. My questions are:

1. Is that a decent price for a used 970?
2. What will I lose by putting a pci-e 3.0 card into a 2.0 slot?
3. What kind of problems can I expect booting into Win7 with an Nvidia card?

I am trying to set up hypervisor on a desktop PC running windows 7 64bit, running the hypervisor off an external drive. I have set up a static IP and tested it to make sure it actually pins, which it does, but whenever I try to log in to the host I get unknown connection error.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to install additional software (like server 2012)?

I installed the esxi 6.5 iso on a external usb hard drive. Whenever I try to log in via the client (which is apparently not supported anymore?) or the web client I get the error message "unknown connection error" or "site can't be reached" when trying to connect through the browser. I've run the network test in esxi menu and it pings normally.

Am I just being super retarded and I can't run this off of a local hard drive? Am I going to have to build a separate desktop server just to run this shit?

Whats the best encryption solution for these days? Is it still the old version of Truecrypt?

>>59850567
What about the dns? I am using the same one that my desktop is using for now

>>59850818
God no. Use Veracrypt.

>>59850818
Yes it is. Don't listen to verashills.

>>59850867
You don't need to worry about dns for your server since you literally know the ip it's on.

I'm still not too sure what you're doing and how you've gone about doing it.

>>59851182
I installed esxi 6.5 on an external hard drive. It's connected to a desktop running windows 7 64bit

I configured the ip address as static and basically used the same dns and gateway addresses as my desktop

I ran the network test and it pinged everything normally

But when I tried connecting via vsphere client I got the "unknown connection issue" message. I changed the ip of the host several times but this didn't fix the issue.

Then I learned that the client is no longer supported by 6.5 so I tried logging in by just typing the host ip address into chrome but got a "this site can't be reached" message.

I tried disabling the firewall but this didn't do anything either

>>59851578
ok so you installed vsphere, which is the client. esxi is the host os.

is the host on same subnet, does it respond to pings, and have you tried https?

>>59851633
Vivaldi

>>59851637
>is the host on same subnet, does it respond to pings, and have you tried https?

Yes and yes; they are literally on the same box. I tried changing the ip of the host multiple times. Every time it pings successfully but I cannot connect to it via the client on via httpw

>>59851690
>they are literally on the same box
esxi is an os unto itself m8, if you installed it to an external drive and didnt't boot from said external drive, theres your problem.

it's a server os, not a server software like filezilla.

>>59851749
So I would basically need to build a server with said hard drive in order to connect to it?

Hey this is the same guy earlier talking about installing W7 on my laptop. Thanks again for that, but now I'm having the same issue of "no drivers compatible" during startup on my main PC. On my laptop the issue was fixed with using a different USB port but that isn't going to help this time. I looked around other places about AHCI drivers and tried using NTLite, following this guide below. Second link is a source of AHCI drivers from the same thread

ublock origin is preferable to adblock plus since adblock plus still loads ad content before blocking it, last I heard. There was a decent webm showing pretty convincing proofs but I didn't hang on to it.

>>59852091
You shouldn't need to mess with ACHI or NTlite. Are you using an M.2 drive? Have you patched USB 3 drivers?

Forked ≠ Stolen. If the community get their shit together to start a better fork I'll be thrilled. In the mean time truecrypts inevitable vulnerabilities will continue to go unpatched as they're discovered. You don't get software that big without vulns.

You made your USB using RUFUS?
And set your motherboard to Legacy/CSM?
Also turned Secure boot off?

And added USB 3.0 drivers to the installer with a program like MSI Smart tools or the ASUS tool?

>>59852669
Yes, yes, yes, and no. Secure boot I'm going to need to check again because w10 decided to update just now. As for the last one, no I was using NTLite but I'll try that asap

>>59852741
So, what was your problem while installing Windows?
What kind of error did the installer shows?

>>59852640
Veracrypt is pretty clear on their relation to Trucrypt. Trucrypt's license doesn't prohibit using their code in other products. They just can't call a fork the same name or use the logo.

>>59852741
Also here is MSI Smart tools:

>>59852783
Haven't got to that part yet. I'm ready for it, but I want to save it until i reallt so install because i can't access my laptop as of this moment

>>59852812
Yeah you are likely missing the USB 3.0 drivers.
Use the Add USB 3.0 option from the driver.

>>59852822

On Intel laptop chips, is it the CPU or GPU that gets higher priority for thermal throttling?

My Laptop has an encrypted Arch Linux install and I'm trying to get it to open with a keyfile on USB but for some reason it won't mount at boot.

Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sdb1 ...
mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
umount: can't umount /ckey: Invalid argument
Keyfile could not be opened.  Reverting to passphrase 

I've tried using vfat, fat and ext2 and it says the same thing but replaces "vfat" with whatever extension I am using. I make sure to change the partition type in /boot/loader/entries/arch-encrypted.conf for the cryptkey whenever I try out a new type.
The way I setup the USB was

cfdisk /dev/sdb //gpt label and a single 7.5 GiB (8GB) partition
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1   //or mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sdb1 or mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
cp /path/to/keyfile/copy /dev/sdb1

Just bought a second SSD for my laptop. Cracked her open and tried to unscrew the screw that they provide to secure the m.2 in place. The problem is that the idiot who assembled my laptop stripped the screw when screwing it in. So as of right now I can plug in my SSD but I had to secure it with tape as it now sits just slightly on top of the fucking screw I can't remove.

2 questions:

1. Will using regular tape be a problem or should I use electrical tape due to the temps?

2. Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue? I was thinking i'd just remove the SSD and slowly sand the tiny screw's side so that it's flat enough to push undone.

>>59853367
In the PC-98 games i dont remember exactly but they are in the 1TB 2hu music collection.

In TH06 they use a WAV file and loop it, when it starts and ends its on : 紅魔郷MD.dat.

TH10.5 and up is in th(version)b.dat*.sfl.

>The problem is that the idiot who assembled my laptop stripped the screw
Suuure.
Next time try to have a Phillips #0 or #00 around.

Use a cutter and transform it into a flat screw, be careful of not cutting the mobo.
How stripped is it? you could use some tricks like the rubberband one.

>>59849698
You're probably better off getting a microcontroller like an arduino or something.

You'll have to jump though a lot of hoops to anything meaning fill in pure assembly on a pi running linux.

>>59853440
>M2 SSDs get hot as fuck, tape might not be a great idea.
Right. Good to know, thanks.

I know it sounds like I did, but I didn't. I've stripped stuff before and can admit to being an idiot for forcing it but whatever. Thanks for the response. Don't have a cutter but I think the rubber band trick should do the trick. Thanks Anon.

Hey anons, been having an issue that it would be cool if you could help with. I am trying to put a 1tb HDD into my HP elitebook 8440p. It is from an old broken laptop. The problem is that the laptop doesn't detect the HDD. I can boot from it if I put it in my desktop (shanty as fuck trying to find a spot for a lappy hard drive in there) so I am not sure why there is an issue. It is partitioned into two parts, not sure if that is having an effect. Really appreciate any help.

Touhou Music Room is down everywhere too.
Try asking in /jp/ main touhou thread.

I just installed a second SSD in the PCIe slot of my laptop. Main SSD runs Ubuntu. The new one has windows.

Everything works fine, only when I run the windows SSD I must change the BIOS to boot into UEFI. This is fine but the boot takes minutes as with the shutdowns. From what I understand this is that something related to grub and linux being the OS of the main drive. Windows doesn't seem to work well when it's not the main drive.
Any idea of how to fix this other than to switch the OSes of the drives? Thanks

>>59853509
Is the drive listed in bios?

>>59853509

Why is it so hard to reverse engineer executable? Or maybe it's actually easy and I am being lied to by the government? Shouldn't it just be a 1 to 1 correlation to assembly code?

>>59853636
reverse engineering to assembly is fine. its reverse engineering into the actual programming language (as the author actually wrote it) which is difficult.

>>59853636
even if you convert machine code to assembly, you'll still have nothing more than a single, gigantic text file of code which was made by a compiler, with no human-friendly organization or comments

In SICP, they tell you you can pass functions as parameters to other functions, which makes it easier to evaluate certain functions.

However, I'm having a bit of trouble implementing one of the examples (summation of the cubes from 1 to 10)

When I compile the following with clisp,

(defun sum(term a next b)
       (if (> a b) 0
              (+ (term a)
          (sum term (next a) next b))))
(defun inc(x) (+ x 1))
(defun cube(x) (* x x x))

(print (sum cube a inc b))

I get the following error:

*** - EVAL: variable CUBE has no value

Why is this happening?
(Also, apparently, when I put parentheses around (cube) in the last line of the code, it recognizes cube is a function, but requires one argument... any thoughts?)

Setting as enabled gives me further options of enabling/disabling c1, c2 etc. I'd like to make sure of power saving features like this, but I don't know if auto is my best bet or should I be enabling/disabling specific levels of c states?

I found out I can convert mp4 to a 3MB webm like this:

ffmpeg -i filename.mp4 -c:v libvpx -crf 10 -b:v 1M -c:a libvorbis -fs 3M output.webm

And after that remove the audio like this

ffmpeg -i output.webm -c copy -an output-noaudio.webm

But is there a way to do it in one step? And how can I keep the original filenames if I want to use and alias for example that converts all mp4 files in one directory to webms?

Sorry I'm not very experienced with this.

Got a glimpse into resources through a terminal. Seems I was right about ram. Had to force power off the laptop lol. Anyway tried using LUKS through openSUSE's partitioner. That took literally seconds, but how the fuck could that be? I'm pretty sure I also chose to format it to ext4.

>>59857542
Thank you I was just writing that I found it myself:

Okay so i found out that i only needed to write the -an in the first command.
Now I'm trying to figure out how I can make an alias to convert all files in a directory while keeping the filenames. So instead of output.webm something like "$0".webm or something, but I'm not sure how it works

>>59857577
give me a sec, I've got a powershell script I wrote to do just that

Does soulseek only allow one to one dowload? If so it's pretty useless to share your dowload folder, but it's better to share your library, right?
Also what is that "K/s" column that i see when i'm in in the rooms tab?

you're after "string manipulation"
for example, you can strip the extension off of a filename with "${variable%.*}"
to give you an idea, try

for i in $(ls); do echo ${i%.*}; done

>>59857666

Okay I just figured out myself like this:

find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.mp4' -exec bash -c 'echo "$0"  "${0%%.mp4}.webm"' {} \;

Yo, really stupid question.

So I had this smartphone last year that was sort of decent for the price, but it took 2 years until it finally died. So I bought a moto g4 for pretty cheap.

Thing is, I'm going to be honest: the Moto G4 has a screen that gets quite a bit dirtier than the previous one. And I mean real fucking dirty. If I take my old phone and abuse it with my thumbs it won't get nearly as dirty as light use with the Moto G4 for some weird fucking reason. Also, the finger glides quite nicely on the previous phone, while this one... let's say that it's not as good.

Thing is, would I be able to change this with a decent screen protector? If so, what do I have to look for?

>>59857716
Thank you, that looks fancy!

This is my working solution now:

find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.mp4' -exec bash -c 'ffmpeg -i $0 -c:v libvpx -crf 10 -b:v 1M -c:a libvorbis -fs 3M -an "${0%%.mp4}.webm" && rm $0' {} \;

It converts every mp4 file in the current directory to max 3MB webm without sound and removes the original files.

powershell is so verbose

Can you get your shit legally pushed in for pirating software that is no longer sold or supported by the company who made it?

are there Aftermarket heatsinks that can be placed on GPU's for better cooling?

I want to put an evo 212 on a gtx1080

>>59857761
>>59857742

powershell's default color-text isn't very friendly, so there's a boilerplate copypasta that makes it easier, ala "-text 'this' -color green"

the rest of it is just identifying if the destination folders exist, creates them if necessary, and echos if it had to do so.
I like mine because it moves the output and originals to separate folders so that I know when they've all finished

That's called abandonware. Check out the Wikipedia article. Technically it's infringement, but there's nobody to enforce it. Just know the difference between old software and abandonware. Windows 3.1 isn't abandonware, for example.

Why does the slot for ram need to change everytime a new speed is developed? Why can't ddr4 just use the same size slot, and just be underclocked when it is inserted into a ddr3 board?

make sure you download the official tho. google play most certainly won't have it, or will have fakes.

I'm trying to connect to an irc server:
irc.blackcatz.org +6697

On riot messenger the mobile version(since it was recommended by prism break) I change the server address settings, it wants two servers, the identity server and the main server.

Do I put blackcats for both? Also it says my url is invalid. Tried it as this: https://irc.blackcatz.org+6697

But still no luck. Without https it complains it needs a secure connection.

>>59858197
I was just wondering because someone linked me to macintoshgarden and it isn't HTTPS, I was just being cautious.

Screen is not the problem. What could it be? GPU? Hard drive? If it's the GPU I should be able to fix the issue by simply removing it, right? (CPU has intel graphics)

"ls" seems to sort by name usually, but it fails to do it for these symbols (LANG=en_US.UTF-8).

Is it normal for a new hard drive to have a power-on count of 60 something and around 800 power on hours? Is that just from the factory quality testing?

Will 2500K handle some 4K gaming?

I'm a third world poorfag on a budget.
I plan on getting a 4K display first, then getting a Vega/1080 GPU depending on how it goes and then if I need it upgrading the CPU&MOBO.

How bad would you expect a Vega or 1080 GPU to perform on PSI Express 2 with OCd 2500K?
