can someone recommend an ultra basic MS-Paint type program for Linux? I tried Pinta and it was awful but using imageresize.org to crop pictures is horrifically inefficient

Didnt get a response last thread, trying here.


I am trying to create a RAID with 4x 8TB drives, but even though each has been formatted to 7.27TB, the RAID controller only sees each drive as 1.2TB
Before this had 3x 2TB in RAID, and the HDs showed up correctly as 1.8TB each.

Now a second issue: doesn't mater what RAID I create it wont show up in Windows. It still sees each individual drive unallocated. I can format each one, and use it individually, even though they show up as being part of an array inside the RAID config.

If I plug the old HDs back into the system, it detects the old RAID, and works fine.

Even if I try each individual drive by itself after doing a fresh format, it still sees it as 1.2TB


I made no other BIOS changes, and looked everything over.

BIOS is on the latest update, nothing new out.


What do? I already spend like 2 hours replugging drives, trying idividual ports.
Picked up a used RAID card my friend had, LSI Megaraid 9040-4i
Will try this in tomorrow.

I need a new U.S based VPN that isn't a major provider so I can still use certain websites and services that block major VPN providers.
What do?

You know how when you delete a file and it is still 'there' on the disk, right? Does the same thing happen for an SSD?

so I need a super cheap computer with linux to learn programming in college. Can't take my desktop with me.
I have an old 720p vga monitor. If I buy an orange pi zero, can I use http://www.amazon.in/Magideal-Female-HD15-Pin-Component-Adapter/dp/B01IM4J4YS?tag=googinhydr18418-21
to connect the pi to the monitor?
And the orange pi zero only has one usb port. How do I connect a keyboard and mouse at the same time?

is there much difference between an intel and amd processor with the same number of cores running at the same frequency, and the same cache and stuff?

>>60985159
I can't, i ended up using gimp, which is more complicated than i would like, but that was all i could find

krita?

>>60985203
Yes, huge.

Intel whips the floor with AMD when it comes to Singlecore performance which is important for pretty much everything thanks to the lack of optimization of programs.
AMD selling point is the more core/thread for cheaper tactic, even its weaker, if a program uses all cores and threads it will be more efficient than a powerful CPU with a few cores.

>>60985220
krita is not ultra basic but you'll love it
>>60985214
make sure you have wine installed. now double click the .exe and if nothing's wrong it would work.
about ".exe" files, they are compiled for windows. if they are cross platform program, you can compile a binary for the os your are on

>>60985203
>>60985233
TLDR: Intel is better but more expensive.

>>60985247
So, if an .exe file doesn't have cross-system support, does that mean that it cannot be ran natively, without WINE?

>>60985233
so a single intel core running at the same frequency as a single amd core will be faster? is there a way to measure or figure out how much faster?

>>60985233
>thanks to the lack of optimization of programs
its not as simple as that, some programs are really hard to program in a scalable manner.

>>60985271
Pretty much.
This is why game emulation sucks with AMD.
How faster? depends on both CPU generation and features.
>>60985274
I said the lack of it, not that it was easy to program.

>>60985257
nope.
and vice versa, a program compiled for linux can't run on windows.

I was visiting Times.com reading an article and I had to crash the browser and then read it as fast as I could, because the "requests" kept piling up reaching over 100K.

How can one avoid that?

I remember doing something with xbindkeys long ago.
whenever I press ctrl f it open up a white terminal. and when I say "killall xbindkeys;exit" and press ctrl f, the white terminal no longer comes up (till I reboot) and ctrl f opens up the search box, as it should be. How do I stop xbindkeys from starting up on every boot?

Hey /g/ods

For whatever reason Chrome just won't open on my laptop anymore. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times, I used the Chrome cleanup tool, I've scanned with Maleware Bytes and Windows Defender, neither of which found anything so I don't think it's any form of virus keeping it from opening.

Is there anything else my computer might be doing that stops it from opening?

>>60985435

Cant you even see it in the task manager?

Thinking of creating a RAID array, since I'm on a relatively tight budget with concerns to harddisks is there any reason as to why I should use RAID 1 over RAID 5 or 6, or is there something even better/cost effective when it comes to data redundancy?
Cloud storage is kind of out of the question since upload speeds of ~50kb/s

>>60985432
youre welcome

>>60985435
if its ubuntu i think it was the latest update, fucked my shit up too

>>60985473
raid one creates 2 identical drives if something happens, and it fails. i doubt raid 5 or 6 would do the same

>>60985423
archive.is can also be good for getting access to articles that are behind a pay wall.

>>60985473
where do you live to get 50kb/s?

>>60985449
>>60985463
Chrome shows up absolutely nowhere in the Task Manager as far as I can tell

>>60985495
Doesn't RAID 5 allow one drive to fail and RAID 6 2 drives since it has parity checks?
>>60985499
Australia

>>60985508
yeah, but then you have to rebuild the array. you also have to rebuild a raid 1 array, but i think it's simpler. also if you're on a tight budget, you can do raid 1 with less drives.

>>60985504
Try running a portable version and see what happens

>>60985530
running AdwCleaner right now and it appears to be finding a few different things so hopefully it fixes it

>>60985504

Then boot into safe mode and run it.

I have never legitimately solved one of pic related.

I realized they would make the perfect encryption engine, like an enigma machine on steroids.

I programmed a virtual rubix cube that encrypts data files

each spot on this virtual rubix cube instead of being color coded holds a single byte of the soon-to-be encrypted file. The cube will scale in size to be suitable loading the entire plaintext file into. During the read/write process it performs logical shifts on the bytes.

The encryption engine can make any transformation a rubix cube can (the normal twists along x y and z axis) as well as a few transformations I came up with to give it some more entropy on the output.

is this what they call autism?

>>60985582
upload that code under the gpl and link dat shit brother

>>60985473
Unless uptime is a critical concern, find another solution than raid. It only protects you from drive failure, which is one of many risks you face. In other words, raid is the worst form of 'backup' for most situations. Try setting up another storage solution somewhere else on your own network if internet bandwidth is a concern.

>>60985473

>>60985912
Download Microsoft Autorun, open it as administrator and post logon tab.

>>60985912
Again, try running chrome portable and see what happens.

>>60985930
That seems have worked out fine actually

>>60986057
Well, you could just roll with that then, although I don't think updates are automatic. It does suggest that something is fucked up in your registry or the program files. You could try running revo uninstaller then reinstalling to a new location.

>>60986112

I'm getting too tired to mess with this anymore, downloading that seemed to have fixed my Chrome situation to a decent degree so it should be fine for now. It still had all my tabs from like a month ago when Chrome just died out of the blue too, not sure if that means anything and if I just did something dumb or what.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions everyone!

Just download Microsoft Autorun, and uncheck it, it will stop it from starting.
You can manually delete it if you want too.

Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner wont detect it because its mostly a script that runs when windows starts instead malware.

a lot of it is bloatware nonsense that comes preinstalled that will still be there if you reinstall through the stock partition

They can fuck up sometimes, but your standard ones usually won't tell you to remove anything too important. I definitely wouldn't trust them to catch everything though.

Start over and reinstall windows, this time without installing anything but essentials, no manufacturer garbage. Back up all important files.

If you fuckup you can always system restore you know, for something it exists.

Any mayor fuck up will need reinstall which is as easy as downloading something from internet, running a program to get that file working on a USB and insert it to reinstall windows.

Still your case doesn't need reinstall windows but would be a good idea.

Brief question on study technique

Let's say I'm studying a new language from a textbook, alone, and it takes ten chapters out of twenty before I'm caught on something I can't reliably replicate or understand.

Should I stop and continuously review that subject until I get it before moving on, or should I finish the book and return to it? Does reading the book still have value or can it actually help me to move forward a bit and then come back to something?

I considered that. However, most filesystems have a max filename length of 255 basic ASCII characters. Even Reiser4 that has a maximum filename length of 3,976 bytes which equals 3,976 basic ASCII text characters is not long enough. Source:

Hey guy just did a quick free bootcamp.

We just learned to build the front-end of website using bootstrap, and some resume devoplement shit. It was a waste of time. Just the basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript.

you need to define optimal in which dimension. Usually you do what is asked by the customer. If you are building your own stuff, you pick the technologies which work best for you and you are familiar with

What is a good notes/to-do app that has both mobile app and browser support.

First I used Endnote until they went full retard with pay-for-offline-notes (and also 100mb for a notes app seriously fuck u endnote).

I used google keep afterwards for to-do lists, but the functionality is too limited. You can make labels but then you can't set one label as the default page, and when you sort by label you can't rearrange them anymore.

So basically what I am looking for is something to combine both notes (think longer reads for later) and to-do lists.

I built a PC a few years ago with a $60 8gb DDR3 stick of RAM. I saw another 8gb DDR3 stick last month for $30, bought it and installed it.

My computer says I have 16gb installed and everything runs fine but my friend says that I may have fucked up by not making sure the RAM sticks run at the same speed. I'm concerned they won't because of the price difference but I've thrown away the packaging. Did I fuck up?

it doesn't matter, both sticks will run at the speed of the slower stick. it won't break anything

Modern minimalist UI on websites and phone apps confuses the fuck out of me. Am i the only one to feel that?

>>60988217
It's the lack of shadows. It actually works as a statement of the shallow mindset behind the design. Minimalism is empty of heart.

>>60988474
>>60988484

Ignore that guy, you absolutely do not need to learn assembly and you absolutely do not need to learn c to learn c++, that's not how it works

Do learn an easier object oriented language first, you should be good enough going into c++ that syntax is no longer a barrier and just understanding general concepts becomes your focus.

>>60988568
why is assembly not a good way to learn howow computers work?

>>60988605

Learning how assembly works isn't the same as learning how to code in assembly, you absolutely should how machine code and abstraction have built up to what we have, but you don't actually have to go back in do it. Especially if his end goal is to learn C++, C++ has better tools for getting similar performance out of your functions as Assembly. Basically if you learn C++ you'll never end up using Assembly for professional work.

can you, please, remove the case and post a photo of what's inside?

>>60992145
The aircans yes. Honestly though, if you're not changing anything out, and your airflow isn't obviously being blocked, it really doesn't matter much.

>>60992354
I'm mainly concerned because I have very few filters

>>60992410
Not uncommon.

I need a program for Linux that fucks with the size of the display. Not like resolutions, but actually squishes the active area on the screen, like you'd drag a window with your cursor or something.

I have a chinese windows/mac-only g. tablet that doesn't adhere to ANY screen ratio and w/o the app it coems with I can't resize its workspace so fucking with the screen size is the only way I can fix it.

I'm taking a Java class (it's a required course) and so far I haven't had any issues, but this one has thrown me for a loop. I'm sure the reason is simple and I am looking over it.

public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create hammer invoice
        Invoice hammer = new Invoice("5a", "a hammer", 2, 7);

        System.out.printf(hammer.getPartNumber(), hammer.getPartDescription(), hammer.getTotalQuantity(), hammer.getUnitPrice(), hammer.getInvoiceAmount());
    }
    private static void printInvoice(String num, String desc, int quant, double price, double total)
        {
            System.out.printf("Number: %s\n | Description: %s\n | Quantity: %d\n | Price: %d\n | Total: %.2f\n", num, desc, quant, price, total);
        }

When I run the program I only get "5a" as output. Everything else in the printf doesn't happen. I tried adding newlines and flushing the output buffer and there was no difference.

Read the docs for System.out.printf, then ask yourself where the format string is.

setup your free aws session as a vpn?

Turn off your computer and try again.

>>60992145
Yeah, blast it with air. Get an air compressor (one for tires would unironically be OKAY).

Protip: when using it on a fan, hold the fan still while doing it so you don't wear out the bearings.

>>60992585
Where are you calling the method "printInvoice()"? Is it in the constructor?

I've nerver done anything with graphics editing, has anyone a good guide on how to get into GIMP?

>>60992974
Thanks but I already fixed it. Unplugged my aux cord, rebooted and suddenly everything works again.

>>60993099
The tutorials on their site aren't bad. Beyond that, skim through their "Books about GIMP" list for something more about your intended applications..

how do i do this within the cookies?

>>60993099
Watch a video or two and then experiment. That is really how you learn how to use any image editing software.

Should I be scared? Everyone tells me this is the difficult part.

for a quick example;
lets say the tablet is 1024x600, and you want 1280x768 instead
panned (scroll by hitting the edges with your mouse);

xrandr --output LVDS-0 --panning 1280x768

scaled (stretch to fit);

xrandr --output LVDS-0 --panning 1280x768 --scale 1.25x1.28

Looking into getting a new hard drive, preferably WD blue/black. Which sizes of those drives are the ones that fuck up the most?

so do i get this correct. with a wifi adapter thingy my shitty laptop can connect to 5ghz right

>>60991755
I use expressVPN and I think it's great. I would only use a free vpn if you're trying to get out of blocked sites like at a school. If you're trying to actually stay private online get paid vpn that doesn't keep logs, other than that they are pretty much all the same.

>>60991755
Also, some vpn's will allow torrenting and some won't. Read the FAQ to find out info on that. They will generally tell you if they allow it.

I need to use a site which uses java.
Is there a way to do this with firefox?

The bigger it is the less reliable.
Green series which for a reason got discontinued.

Avoid 5200/5400rpm WD HDDs, look for HGST too.

When you set up W10 fresh, do you need a Ethernet cable so it can check and install updates? The motherboard has a WiFi card, not sure if it can use that during the setup.

>>60994387
Based on how new is the WiFi card it can work right away with windows stock drivers.

Yeah, its called a UPS. They have voltage regulators and a battery built in, giving you, depending on the model around 5 minutes for the power to stabilize or for you to shut your PC down.

Anything that gets between the UPS (highly unlikely) and your computer's transformer is going to be so negligibly benign that it amounts to no more than say, an ant trying to push you out of your chair with its mightiest shove.
