I want to host 2 open source web applications. One of which uses Postgresql and the second one uses MongoDB.

Assuming type float gives you a single precision IEEE 754 type isn't necessarily going to work if you change platform/cpu arch.

Why would you shift to extract the top bit and then do the shift to get rid of it when you could just do input &= 0x7fffffff

Your bit twiddling is likely slower than just calling abs(), which for modern x86 would generate a single instruction FABS.

Do Best Buy and Staples actually recycle your electronics, or do they throw it in the dumpster when no one's looking?

>>61102365
Yeah, you should be able to use any kernel. Probably be easier if you use one already packaged from debian like from https://liquorix.net/ or something. Looks like 4.11 isn't in experimental yet.

Except old ones that systemd will choke on because they don't have namespaces etc.

>>61102365
You have a few choices here.

>run testing
Testing is the rolling-release version of Debian. Except when a release is imminent, it's pretty current on most software. Do this if you're interested in running more up-to-date everything.

>grab a kernel from backports
I haven't checked if stretch-backports is up yet, but if it isn't, it will be pretty soon. Backports are more-recent versions of things that you can add to an otherwise stable install, and the current mainline kernel is one of the things that always gets backported. Do this if you're interested in running a current kernel, but don't much care about most other stuff.

>compile your own kernel
Debian, like every other distro, lets you roll your own kernel, with the version and options of your choosing.

>>61102429
Except that 4.11 isn't in any suite yet.

What could cause all of my internet browser to stop working on Windows 7. Other programs that connect to the internet crash too

>>61102442
Then choose option 3, if you can't wait.

If you often find that you can't wait, Debian might not be your distro.

Throw the fan out and buy a new one, you ruined it.

Vegetable oil used as bearing lubricant will eventually break down and gum up. Especially when it's warm, like in a laptop. That's the smell and noise you noticed. You need to use mineral oil for tasks like this. Go to a hardware store and ask for it, they'll sell you a little tiny bottle of clear mineral spirits for a few dollars.

My impression from /g/ is that no matter what you do you will still be part of the botnet anyway, so don't screw around with their recommendations and just find a cheap way to buy it. I don't know about FX CPUs on W10 but it is likely to be better just because of advances in software (if your other hardware is capable of taking advantage of those features.)

I've tried reinstalling Nvidia drivers to no avail.

>>61103358
>>61103447

this may not entirely help but worth a try anyway, check the physx-page in the nvidia-control tab.

maybe by checking your preferred GPU there, their drivers will actually use it for everything and not just physX

I tried googleing your problem and you are not the only one with that problem.

>>61103339
Via the terminal? Just ssh in. If you have a network service you will need to make sure the container can access the hosts network or some ports are forwarded.

>>61103447
then the last thing you could do, even though it's stupid, is to uninstall the driver for the 1050, therefore rendering it unavailable to the system.

maybe there is also an entry for that in the registry.

Welcome to the wonderful world of pre-built computers. The only reason they do that is to force you to buy replacement parts from them at a big markup.

Dell used to do a thing (idk if they still do) where the PSU looked like a standard ATX PSU, and had the same mounting holes, but the pinout of the ATX connector was different. Plug a standard PSU into a Dell mobo or vice versa and you'll blow things up. Again, only done to stop you from buying cheap commodity replacement parts.

Generally speaking, you should always update your programs/apps so you don't have any security vulnerabilities, right?
On my phone though, I don't want to do that. Because the updates make the app worse sometimes!
There's an app that comes pre-installed on my phone, called Smart Connect. It basically handles connections with external devices such as headphones or my computer. It worked perfectly fine. Ever since i updated, it introduced a bug where the program won't stop even if i pull out the device (headphones,etc).
Another example? File Commander came pre-installed on my phone. It's basically just a file navigator. It does its job, it works perfectly fine. Then i update it, it becomes a piece of shit. It has a new interface and keeps urging me to buy premium services, and it suddenly spikes up my battery consumption. Wtf? how much can you even fuck up a damn file navigator.

I'd rather have a security vulnerability?

>>61104858
pretty sure there are other better apps who do the same thing than those stock apps

>>61104589
Yes. You can get a little PCB with an ATX receptacle and a relay to automatically turn on the second PSU. Make sure that both PSUs share the same ground - the easy way to do this is to plug them into the same power strip.

Hey /g/, I've been gaming on a friend's laptop for the weekend and playing Gears of War 4, the game crashed once (normal crash, had to restart), but then it had an odd second crash that the HDMI monitor it was hooked up to stopped displaying the game.

The game itself crashed, but you could still use windows normally. Resetting the HDMI also made the laptop send video signal to the monitor once again. Last piece of info is that, at that time the laptop had a big spike in temperature (over 90s for all cores, 95 and 96 for 2 of them). No signs of drivers crashing or anything, after replugging the HDMI and ending the game the PC was working normally.

So given all that info, what do you think? Could it have been the game that had a hard crash and caused the video signal to be interrupted? Or could it be that something fucked up? GPU temps were stable at around 70s (max being 79). What's your opinion on this?

Otherwise it will end up costing a lot more to build your own.

Well, I'd like to think I'm not completely inept when it comes to woodworking, but I can tell it won't be something stunning visually due to the fact that I haven't done any woodwork in ages. I know a place with cheap material, which is what gave me the idea to just custom build the desk.
So probably best to not have high hopes for an attempt? I could go do some carpentry/woodworking course for free soon.

So, this is a rather esoteric question, which I can't even figure out how to ask google. I am trying to sort my music, and somewhere along the line I made the mistake of extracting some compressed files into folders, which created themselves inside of folders of the same name. Consequently, the names of the file paths are too long in some cases. I was trying to select them all and then F2, to change all of their names, so the folder within the folder would go inside of one folder, then I could just copy paste them all into one folder without the extra sub folders. The problem is, when I try to do this renaming with F2 and selecting all of the files, when they actually rename, they come out like a(2) a(3) a(4) a(5) a(6) etc. up to 119 files. It's absurd, and it doesn't really help me. If anyone has a way that I can rename all the folders to "a" without having them create those stupid numbers at the end, and so that all the sub folders combine into one folder, I would appreciate it.

Huh?

>>61105424
Some bits of Windows can't handle paths of more than about 255 characters, even though the NTFS limit is higher.

>>61105372
Using F2 is essentially trying to rename all selected things to the same name - which will never work, hence the a(1), a(2)... You could try a bulk file-renamer that lets you rename by regex. Or just rename things manually to shorten the path and copy them out to some other location, which is what I've always done when I had this problem. Then again when I've had this problem it was only a dozen files or so that needed renaming, if you have ten thousand, you need a proper bulk renamer.

I have no recommendations for a windows bulk renamer, though.

>>61105360
If people say "PEBCAK" they're essentially saying you're an idiot. It stands for "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard", where the user is the link between the two.

that's because you're using DOS partitions, which you can only have four of, unless one is an extended partition
since you have four primary partitions already, you've reached the limit
to make more, you either need to turn one into an extended partition, making space for 3 more, or convert the whole disk over to GPT, which allows for 128 partitions

The other building is a metal workshop type of building so signal reception to it is poor - a wifi signal from the main building (which is like 50 yards away give or take) just barely reaches it but certainly doesn't penetrate.

Would it work well enough to get a range extender installed in the main building, then an access point just on the inside of the second building? Or is daisychaining the signal around this much going to cause some problems?needs internet.

are there any plugins for VLC (or another media player) that can make it handle my library better? Something like remembering what episode of a show I'm on, or where I left off in the middle of an episode

A friend of mine wants me to buy his GTX 970, and he's offering it to me. The problem that I have with buying ti is that his PSU packed it in, and his computer kept shutting off when he put it under load. I helped him build a new computer recently to replace it. Would the PSU just turning off hurt the component itself?

I'd like to avoid it if it's going to die when I buy it

>>61112718
yes

I have two of these old memory. Can i overclock my videocard?
I have heard that these memory isn't good for overclocking.

>>61112773
Overclocking your graphics card is different from overclocking your RAM.

>uninstall memefox
>install waterfox

From all the microsoft office free alternatives, which one is the best?

>>61112782
Wait, i can overclock my RAM? I didn't know about that.
So, can i overclock my card without problem? That's good to know. I thought the high temperature in computer could danificate my memory.

Hey /g/ I have three fried PSU's off warranty and please don't ask why. Is it alright if just dump them in the trash or am I supposed to turn them in somewhere?

Just toss them

Probably a driver issue. Update your drivers.

What will happen when I put 3000mhz ram into my Ryzen system?

>>61113117
You'll create a singularity and destroy the solar system

>>61102372
never
people always want to spend money on something "better" looking

>>61113117
By default it'll run at 2400 or 2133MHz. If your mobo has a recently updated BIOS odds are overclocking to 2933MHz will work fine too. 3000 flat isn't recommended as that requires base clock overclocking.

>>61102755
Audio latency is usually caused by conflicting driver issues.
I say usually because certain hardware that can slow down your system can also be the problem.

Can you just extract them again, and this time check your settings? If you use 7-zip you can choose how to extract files in the context menu.

in most games running Vsync will put less strain on your hardware, especially if you're getting above 200fps,
On my old AMD build running GTA5 at vsync would run that RX280 at 57C instead of the usual 75C, and use only half of the resources.

How do you block Twitch streamed ads?

>What are the chances I fuck up installing or fuck up boot manager?
Minimal if you don't mess with shit and accept defaults
>Would win10 recovery fix that?
Yes but you will have to find instructions. It isn't as straightforward as you might think (at least when it happened to me.)

Why are AMD graphics cards in such high demand for mining again? I thought that ASIC miners outperformed GPUs

>>61113501
Cryptocurrencies after bitcoin were specifically designed to make it difficult to build ASICs for mining them, specifically to make CPU and GPU mining the only viable path, since the ASICs led to lots of centralization of the network.

They do this be having larger memory (capacity or bandwidth) requirements than the SHA256 that Bitcoin is based on. Large amounts of onboard memory quickly makes an ASIC expensive enough to be not worth it compared to general-purpose computing hardware that's already available.

IIRC the SIM cards are a different size. Unless they have like sizes, you would need a new one (free if your carrier isn't run by jews).

Best minimalistic active antivirus? Seems like a common problem with a lot of them to make you system hang with high disk usage.

Comodo is featured in the wiki. Is it really any better than normal?

How come I can use 3 monitors on Linux, but on windows it only allows me to use two. If i try to use 3 it says "unable to save display settings"

Why would one work on linux but not on windows?

Linux is awesome? but why?
