/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

I can't connect to my server running mpd using MPDroid. These are the iptables rules I have:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 8000 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6600 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 6600 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Using telnet I get the following:
On port 6600 I get connection refused.
On port 8000 I am connected before the connection is abruptly closed by foreign host.

What am I missing?

I have to contact one person, which I sadly have no email to, only know their Facebook account - but I dont have one on my own.

Is it "safe" to make fake account on 10-minute email, with only initials of your name/surname? I mean, wont Assbook try to make profile out of you anyway, connecting data gathered from sites plugins and your IP?

I know it sound like paranoid but I cant help it.

Why doesn't Windows boot from USB? I have a USB to SATA cable and have tried with two separate hard drives, one with 7 and one with Vista. Both of them get partially through booting before flashing a blue screen for a split second and restarting the computer. It's no big deal, but I'd like to know why.

>>60160961
Facebook will probably prevent you from using just a single letter name/surname, and the tracking is not something that can be turned on or off: they probably have a shit ton of sources of information from how you use the website and you setup that will work regardless.

To give you an idea, when I make a new account from my PC, without fail, the previous account I used shows up as a recommended friend.

Not sure what they can do if they don't explicitly have your name/surname though. If your name is mentioned by your friends, facebook *might* have a deep learning algorithm to pick up on that, *regardless* of you owning a FB account.

>>60160961
I recommend doing this in a VM with a browser configuration you don't normally use. FB will fingerprint your browser and continue to associate the sites you visit with your FB account even when not logged in.

Alternatively, block all FB plugins (share buttons, comments, etc) to prevent this from happening, and clear your browser history and cookies after you do what you need to do.

Any good reviews on the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON vs the Asus PRIME X370-PRO??

My cursor won't work. I've tried the Fn and F5 thing but even that won't work. I have important unsaved files so I don't want to restart my computer. I'm running Win8.1 if that helps.

>>60161220
Fn+F5 is meaningless to us, Fn shortcuts differ from computer to computer. You can alt-tab into the windows you have important work in and ctrl-s to save them.

If you have a mouse plugged in try a different port. Restarting your computer is your best bet.

>>60161249
Thanks, my cheap dollar store mouse will have to do for now.

>>60161098

Never actually setup VM before. I was planning to do this on laptop (which works as test ground of some sort anyway), with Firefox using plugins listed on privacytools.io

>>60161001

Then I might just use fake name and surname, whatever. Im worried about the whole tracking stuff anyway.

All I want is to ask for email or just drop link to files I wanted to give that person. Why it have to be so hard and problematic?

I'm having a hard time deciding between the 2
>i5 2500k for $150 (i7 3770k for about $300)
>i7 3820 for $300
for motherboards
>z77 for about $250
>x79 for about $350

My main concern currently is in regards to reliability (buying used), as well as the performance benefit for having the 2500k, and maybe upgrading to 3770k in the future, or just skipping a potential future upgrade and going straight for the 3820

Also, as an aussie, is it worth it going for eBay, or would US Amazon be better (as long as it ships here)?
I'm currently a poorfag and trying not to go for an i5 7600k (example) for $350

struct Base{
void ebin(){std::cout<<"Base fug\n";}
};

};
void foo(Base& p){
p.ebin();
}
int main(){
Base b1;
Derived d1;
foo(b1);
foo(d1);
return 0;
}

Why do I get to Base fug output?
Am I not passing a derived object in second call and it should call derived class function?

Is there an easy way to get a mini-botnet for free or cheap? I literally need like 30-100 IPs, to send a curl request every ~60 seconds. I need this for an autistic meme so I don't care about tracking/logging/whatever, but conversely I also don't want to pay for a meme unless I absolutely have to.

Users are shitty at passwords. And passwords get dumped. If you do it this way, getting a user password, which is not very hard in most cases, will yield the encryption key, which is not good. Haven't messed with this stuff in a while, so other anons might have better ideas. If you really want password-based, maybe hashed and salted would be a better option.

VPN and proxies are your best bet without hacking people.
Look around for SOCKs proxies and pipe shit through them.
Now you'll just need to write the scripts to load up all these proxies and VPNs in sequence.

Already-existing programs, extensions and plugins that manage VPNs and proxies will be difficult to work with if their IP list isn't public.

Nord works ok. There are many options. Aside from picking one based outside of your own country, there's not much you can really learn about them. I'd take their claims of "no logging" with a grain of salt.

I am writing a simulation in Java and using GridPane to visualize it. After performing a step, the pane is cleared and new nodes are added, but the pane stays the same as in the beginning until the end, when it does get redrawn. Printing the data to console works as it is supposed to. I am using sleep between the steps, does this cause the problem? How do I force the pane to get redrawn?

It really depends what you want to do and whether you think you will use the higher ceiling of performance in the i7.

I was at a similar decision a couple years back and just went the i5 route.
But I don't expect to be running multiple heavy VMs on mines, 1 intense one at the most. (GPU passthrough at that)

I don't intend upgrading for a while anyway since system requirements for things has slowed down considerably in the last 10 years, never mind the last 5 years.
My next hardware will end up probably being something wildly different to what is currently out now. (especially since virtualization in hardware has exploded in recent years)

Wait, can I use TOR for that? Like I mentioned it's pretty low-bandwidth and latency isn't really an issue. Is it possible to connect to multiple circuits from one machine and selectively connect through them in sequence without some crazy workaround hacks?

Or, heck, I might get away with just rebuilding my circuit between every request - assuming it's random enough there shouldn't be any problems. It might take a second or two to reconnect every time but that's acceptable for my purposes.

Any particular reason this would be a bad idea before I proceed to write a script that sends my desired curl through tor, rebuilds the tor circuit to get a different identity, and repeats?

You SHOULD be able to use CSS for this.
You can use an :after pseudo selector for it.
Will check to see if they can reveal alt-text, though.

BG not well played.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23188691/how-to-display-img-alt-text-using-css
Only alternative would be to do THAT same idea, except set your images as the background of a DIV and just add the alt-text to the DIV.

Here is a basic example I made
http://jsfiddle.net/Fs76v/77/
You can add a hover effect as well by chaining the pseudo selectors as soon in the 2nd.
From there you can prettify the ::after

You can install a User Style extension to do it.
Problem is will be whether those websites use an IMG or another container to display the actual image.
If you can right click and save the images, it will be using IMG tags for it.

IMG tags just seem to not support doing this for some fucking retard reason.
For that, you would need to use a User Script in Greasemonkey or something.

same goes for directx, hence every game ships the exact version it was made with with it.

Does a 60 fps video file generally require about twice the file size of a 30 fps one since it needs twice as many frames? (Leaving aside audio size anyway.) Or can the video compression schemes usually optimize most of that out since the extra frames will be very similar to what was already there?

So, a MUX by itself is useless (I'm talking about basic combination logic)? The definition is that the selector picks which one goes to the output. But let's say the 4 inputs are minterms. The selector picks one of them to go to the output, but the output will always be the same (in the sense you don't know just by the output which minterm was selected, if you don't know the values of the selectors), unless you connect it to a DEMUX with the same selector values, then you can know what was selected. Am I missing something, apart from my brain.

Yeah, don't sweat it -- that's a smaller power connector for stuff that draws less power than the standard molex. Floppy drives used them, as well as some of those multifunction panels, some GPU fans, that sort of stuff.

It's one of those connectors that's there for the few who still use it and for others to zip tie out of the way someplace.

image[:,:,2] -=1,
but since the values go between 0 and 255 it loops back, so I thought of using a for loop for the elements in the array to check if it's 0 before decreasing it, but it doesn't work.

Hi,

Before I go further, another stupid question: my previous setup was OS on a 90gig hdd, now on this ssd (clean install).

I had games and shit on my 1tb hdd, how do I uh, "get" to them? Or just format and start over?

>>60165514
Hmm yeah maybe. It's the same as a state machine the output can't tell you about the States needed to produce it.

>>60166108
Depends on the game. Steam makes it pretty easy to re-add the existing files to your library. It's slightly easier if you prep before wiping your OS, but it still shouldn't be a problem.

That SSD should be working fine. Did you create your partitions manually, or did the windows installer create them automatically?

>he doesn't use Tomorrow

>>60160835
depends how you do it,
so lets say you want to encrypt it with some key, because you don't want a compromised system to yield unencrypted files. so you can't store the key on the system, and ideally you want the key to be different between users.
so as long as you ask the user for the password every time you need it, hash and compare to verify, absolutely do not store it in clear, use it to generate encryption key perhaps for the session and then immediately throw it away then what is the problem?
if you store the password in clear you are retarded, if you store the key then what was the point of the exercise in the first place?

i guess you should add a salt in there too

I also barely passed a discrete math course and got a D. i did bad on the exams

>>60168043
Depends on why you failed, if you didn't put any effort in then I wouldn't say that's a good indicator that you can't handle computer science.

Also even if things seem totally over your head at first it's not that unheard of for it to "click" once you get some important concept and then be fairly easy from then on so I'd say stick with it if you have any interest in the field.

>>60167957
Generally no. May be a few percent more or less depending on the efficiency curves of the different models you're looking at.

>>60167974
No. On video cards the main degradation is the fans since miners typically run 100% fan all the time, the card/GPU itself doesn't degrade noticeably.

>>60167587

Does a website that has its articles stored in a database load faster than a website with articles stored as files? Would the filesystem lookup the articles faster than a database lookup?

>>60168080
thank you, senpai

>>60169096
Stored in database is faster presumably. The database will have everything in memory, provided the default configuration does this.

Database lookup would also be faster. This is because information is in memory, whereas a disk request would be needed to do a lookup.

I'm sure there are some database implementations which would be slower, but generally this is the truth right now.

Does the PS3 have an aux port? If so, feed a cable from the aux port to your microphone jack on your PC and then redirect the microphone input to speaker output.

>>60168111
Don't. It is a security risk imo.

>>60168099
It's just slower. It attempts to mitigate this by using bytecode instead of pure interpretation though. Look at benchmarks.

It takes a lot more effort to setup code. It enforces OOP which a lot of people don't like.

>>60169096
Depends how the database is stored and what gets to sit in RAM cache for both.

A filesystem effectively is a database, just without the full relational functionality.

It's probably not the memory, it's more than likely the CPU. In that case, it's just being overworked.

If it is a limitation of memory speed [unlkely in this day and age,] it's a probably bus bottleneck.

>>60169652
I'm pretty sure you can, you'll just have to copy everything over to a temporary set of drives.

My PC has been freezing lately at random. It completely freezes, yet if I'm playing a song or video in the background, audio still plays, although lagged as fuck as if playing at 10% speed. Still, the system remains frozen and I must hard reset.

I'm thinking it might be an SSD or CPU failure. Any ideas?

>>60172613
Slowdowns might be hard-drive related, but also check if your fan is outputting unusual heat, check if your computer is experiencing heat.

Have you tried booting from a Live CD and checking if you are having the same slowdown? If not, then it's a software problem or it's just your hard drive. Try installing a ganoo/loonix OS next to your other OS and see if it works well or not. If it does not work well, then it's hard drive. If it i does, then you have a virus in your other OS. If the problem persists in the live CD, then it's a hardware performance issue.

>>60172642
Problem is that the freezes are really random. I don't have a way to predict them or anything. I don't think heat is an issue, given it always idles at around the same temperature, and the freezes don't happen even if I'm stressing the CPU to high temps.
They've been happening like once a day for the past few days, though. Maybe I could try another disk for some days or so? If the freezes still happen, then something else must be causing them.

Well, at least your provider makes it seem legit. You can use a free domain name and a free web hosting service, they do exist, but your URL would look weird.

You can alternatively host it from your home computer, but then, you have to give your IP address instead of a clean URL, unless you use no-ip.

You can also go for a very cheap VPS, but you will still need to buy a domain name.

Unless, you have the domain name and want to use a file hosting service? Try 000webhost.com I used to use them before google nuked the *.co.cc domains but if you already pay for a domain name but want to have the files hosted for free, this might do the trick.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that X may be a graphical representation/emulation of a ground-up program from the terminal.

Hence why it's that old. I guess the "server" keeps running to maintain the basic visuals up like the mouse cursor and very low level CLI to GUI transitions.

I can be wrong, I'm just speculating.

>>60172780
Hmm, have you tried doing a system restore from before when it started happening? What did you install that might have caused it? Did you run a virus scan? Maybe with avast's boot scan? Or perhaps with clamav if you are very paranoid?

I mean, getting a new hard drive just to test if it works or not is good either way, since having a backup drive is highly a good idea, but if the problem is something else and you don't have the budget then it might be awkward.

Though, do a RAM test when you boot. I doubt it may be a ram issue, but do it anyway just to be sure. I have to physically see the issue to see what to do.

Have you dusted your computer recently? If not, do so.

The thing is, if you think it might be a graphics card issue, try taking it out and run it without a graphics card for a week and see if it freezes or not.

Most hardware diagnostics are that, remove one part -> see the problem still persists.

I got an e-cig, it's the best thing I have ever fucking bought. I liked the nicotine and the smoke but HATED the fucking awful smell of cancer sticks. Now I can smoke and get a nice flavor in my mouth too. Even inside the house, it just smells like dodgy perfume and nowhere near as potent as a cigarette.

Question is, is it safe to use around my machines? (PC, consoles etc). I know cigarettes leave that fucking buildup of shit on PCs and stuff of heavy smokers.

I'm looking for an external storage setup with redundancy and often see NAS mentioned as the primary choice, but have no clue how these things work.

Is there any way to access NAS not through the network, but rather through direct connection? Are there alternative setups apart from NAS that allow this? If it is not possible, how is the NAS connection secured so that only the owner can access it? SSH?

Another thing is reading/writing files. How does it work with NAS? Do I need to download files off the NAS to access them? What about writing to the NAS, is the writing speed as fast as the Ethernet connection allows it?

Is there a way to "validate" or "timestamp" a web page if it uses HTTPS? Can I use HTTPS/TLS for non-repudiation of a webpage that documents a financial transaction?

I'm dealing with a large, well-known corporation, submitting documents for a rebate. I've looked into it, and they're prone to blatantly denying submissions of documents and changing webpage, according to others who have submitted documents.

I don't think a screenshot of a webpage holds up as evidence. Can I use HTTPS (or something else) to get a digital reciept of a webpage when they show me a confirmation? So if they change it later I can say "Hey i have hash X and your public key, either you're lying or verisign is lying. go fuck yourselves and gimme my money."

Obviously they won't give me the money, but nonetheless, I'd transaction proof just on principle.

the start of the drive is faster than the end, and very full filesystems are more prone to fragmentation, so things are more likely to become fragmented when there's little space left, which slows things down as well

You could try to frame it positively. Say you took the job because you felt you could do more to help your customers or something, but it really boils down to who asks.

What are some things to look out for/consider when purchasing a refurbished computer?

My parent's PC is about to die - it's about 14 years old, on a pentium II, etc. The only good thing about it is that there is one HDD for the OS and another one for files, so transferring data won't be a hassle.

I have a spare PSU (purchased two when I made my build a few months ago) so I'm not worried about the integrity on the refurb'd machine.

Anything specific I should look out for/try to avoid? Or would it be more practical to just build them a machine? Mostly asking because my local microcenter has used computers with i5 processors for ~250 usd.

>>60175572
see what their return policy is, and run mem/stress tests before sinking a bunch of time installing & updating

are they first gen i5's? later generations may be worth 250, but an i5-760 in an old build may not be worthwhile.

Best notepad app?

Need something I can type a lot in with not a lot of limits, good interface and organization.

Can anyone please help me figure out whats wrong with my conky config? Trying to spawn a horizontal config on i3; the section before TEXT I copied from another working config, however the new horizontal one spawns for a second with fucked up font rendering, then disappears leaving behind weird glyphs on arbitrary desktop positions.

Made an interesting observation:

My screen kept blacking out for less than a second every few minutes. No loose cables, no fucked graphics card and I assumed the screen was the problem.
Today I looked at my cable management again and noticed that I rolled up the (rather long) power cable leading to the the screen's PSU in a coil of 6 winds and 5cm diameter.

after unwinding this coil the problem disappeared.
Are those 6 winds at 5cm diameter on a regular 220V AC current enough to cause a resonance catastrophe and cause my screen to panic shutdown?

I'm wanting an upgrade on my graphics card because the 200 series I have is pretty shit. I was looking at a 570x, but I'm not too sure what would be the best as I don't want to end up bottlenecking a new card too bad.

I doubt that the temperatures would matter that much for what you're going to be using it for, it's not going to be extreme temperatures, so It shouldn't matter that much to you, though it's a dumb design choice because it could shorten the lifespan somewhat. Plus there's a lot of "static noise".
