/sqt/ - stupid questions thread

I fucking hate myself. Unrelated but does anyone know how to keep a Linux distro installed on virtual box. Every time I do an install of one, it'll reboot but put me back at the installer. Help?

Best free IDE and compiler for C++ on Windows 10?
Visual Studio Express requires an internet connection so I'm thinking of installing MinGW and Codeblocks.

Can someone explain to me why overclock CPU?
Unless it's old one and starts to run slow, otherwise, what's the reason for it if higher clocks wouldn't change performance (specially if CPU is more than 4 cores)?

>>61242481
you need to remove the dvd after you install it
if its virtualbox then just
main menu> devices > optical drive > remove or eject or whatever

>>61242633
Thank you.

>>61242632
it makes it do stuff faster, compiling, video transcoding, makes games run with less stutter if there was some...

consider this
i5-6600k
its stock frequency is 3.50 GHZ
then theres turbo 3.9 GHZ which only means single core goes to that frequency

now you go in to bios, change few things and you have 4.4 ghz at all cores.
thats 25% increase and its really there

>>61242671
oh... yeah... compiling and video transcoding makes sense...
Didn't thought about it.
thanks

is there a legit and smart way to kill a gpu without voiding the warranty?

>>61242671
>then theres turbo 3.9 GHZ which only means single core goes to that frequency

Why only one core?

If I have a Windows laptop that stopped working due to a bluescreen error, and I remove the harddrive and boot another computer from it, will the harddrive still fail to boot due to the bluescreen error?

what exactly are lambda expressions and what do they do? are they useful?

>>61242745
try removing the fan and installing it again when you take it for a replacement

>>61242854
A lambda is a function that can be treated as a piece of data. It is usually passed to another function as an argument, writtem inline. E.g. you could have a generic function for sorting a list, and then you pass the comparison function as a lambda.

What language? I can give an example.

>>61242887
java
by "treated as a piece of data" do you mean it can represent its return type? doesnt make any sense to me

Also is it possible to get Ubuntu Minimal into a usb? I know you can only burn it on to a disc but is it possible? And also is it worth doing?

>>61242915
maybe you pressed the insert key? just a guess

>>61242933
Nope, sometimes it goes up by multiple rows and starts typing in the previous output. The commands still work as I was typing to the command line, it's just a visual bug.

>>61242919
> Ubuntu Minimal
Every Linux distro can be installed onto a USB stick, not as a live distro, but as a usual one.

>>61242953
no clue then m8, i never used linux before. sorry

>>61242854
It's a notation for writing how inputs are turned into output by a function. You write
λ[input] . [what is done to input to turn it into the output]
E.g. x+1 would be written as λx.x+1 .
This is all I know so it seems tautological to me. Supposedly they're useful because everything done by a computer can be expressed using lambdas.

>>61242411
Why is Python's moduling ecosystem so shitty and unintuitive?

Why it's so hard to import from other directories, download libraries without polluting the system using virtualenv?

Why Python's package structure is so terrible?


Python should learn a lot from node and npm.

>>61242899
Say you have an array of Strings.

String[] myArray = {"foo", "bar", "baz"}; 

If you want to sort this array into ascending order, you can use the standard function for it.

Arrays.sort(myArray);

But suppose you want to sort in descending order, or a custom order. You will need to tell the sorting function how to compare two Strings. In that case:

Arrays.sort(myArray, MyClass::customCompare

You make the customCompare method and you pass it as an argument to Arrays.sort, and now it knows how to order your Strings a different way.

>>61243014
is customCompare a static method of MyClass?
and does it need to be related with the sort method? like overriding it

>>61242977
by useful i mean do they provide any additional functionality not possible without them?

>>61243032
>is customCompare a static method of MyClass?
In this case, yes. However, you can use instance methods if you like.

The second argument of Arrays.sort is a Comparator. Comparator is an interface that specifies one method, compare.
Before lambdas you would create a new class that implements Comparator and specifies a compare method which compares two Strings according to the order you want.

I have a weird internet problem that seems to be happening because of my PC as I have the same internet on another PC and it works just fine there.
My guess it is something to do with DNS fuckery, but I am not sure. Basically sites load slow the first time I open them. Then everything within the site works fine for a while, but after X amount of time (10 minutes are probably enough) it goes back to being slow the first time. One of the things that didn't happen before is video buffering on youtube the first time I open the video. You can see the circles going in circle for a second.
One of the weirder things it is that the longer the PC is on the bigger the problem gets. In 24 hours it becomes a lot slower to open any page. Youtube videos might not even load and just get the buffering thing until I refresh the page. Sometimes I can get more than a week of the internet working just fine (without turning off my PC). But then I restart it or something and the problem appears. And from there on I can restart a lot and spam ipconfig /flushdns, but nothing works until one day it just disappears again.
And yes, I have tried different versions of the lan drivers.
I am on Windows 7. I am using a switch that is definitely working.
I think I was able to put myself in a state of "stable" connection. I was just randomly changing the lan drivers again and spamming ipconfig /flushdns, but I know neither of them is a sure fix. It is just a matter of time before it shits itself again.
So is it possible that the motherboard's lan has been fucked and I should get a lan card? Or maybe it is something to do with my ISP? Or is it just driver fuckery?
Please read.

>>61243056
is Arrays.sort varargs? my question is more along the line of can i pass a lambda expression as a parameter?

>>61243105
you're being throttled by your shitty ISP

>>61243139
Why isn't my other PC being throttled then?

It comes with carrier apps preinstalled but is not locked which means I can use any sim card I want. If I want to get rid of the carrier apps, would it be possible to flash the stock Sony ROM?

What's the best 15" laptop around?

>>61243113
>is Arrays.sort varargs?
It's an overloaded method. There's a one-arg version which takes just an array, and there's a two-arg version which takes an array and a comparator. There are more versions, but those aren't important.
>my question is more along the line of can i pass a lambda expression as a parameter?
Yes, that's exactly the idea. A lambda that you cannot pass to an expression is fairly useless. The main use of a lambda is to make a generic function whose functionality you can control by passing it a second function. These are known as higher-order functions.

>>61243210
Sorry, I fucked it up.
>A lambda that you cannot pass as an argument is fairly useless.
This is what I meant.

>>61243210

Hello, I see that many IT jobs have requirement for Active Directory, While I know a bit what it is, I have no idea how to get it/use it, so I can practice it in my home network.

Any one has any idea how I can download it, or exactly what do I need to write?(writing active directory at piratebay just gives me tutorials)

>>61243143
Check QoS settings on your router, it may vive you lower priority.
Also How many devices are connected to the network when you notice slowdowns?

>>61242848
Which error
(If it auto-reboots hold F8 on boot and disable reboots on critical errors)

>>61244339
IT here

Install Windows server 2008 + 2012R2
Install AD DS
Boot some VMs runing windows and attempt to join those PCs into ur domain

that\s a start

in practice all youd probably need is to: create/delete/edit users and other basic shit

Why does it take my ASA5520's DHCP ~30 sec until communication is OK ?
Plug-in a cable, count 30sec, only then.

>>61244362
No router, just a switch. My PC is connected directly to the main switch. From the switch there is a cable to another switch and then to the second PC. They have different IPs. On the second PC there is no slowdown so by that logic it can't be a problem with the main switch. And yes I have tried different slots of the switch.
Changing drivers and cleaning the DNS might not usually fix it, but I would say it pretty much for sure somehow effects it. Or at least restarting the PC effects it.

>>61244386
I'm downloading 2012R2 right now, do I really need the 2008?
also, what's AD DS?

Thanks btw.

I am currently living in China and I always use a VPN to browse the banned sites such as Youtube or Google.

Something is happening to me right now where I had completely disabled my VPN (it's not showing up at my process manager) but I am still able to connect to banned sites in China without the proxy, I posted on /int/ and it showed me with an American flag instead of a China flag, perhaps because I had used a Los Angeles server before this happens.

Can someone please explain what is going on with my internet connection, and will this effect sustain for long? Can I replicate this in the future?

Would reducing the polling rate on a bluetooth device improve the battery life on the device?

>>61244533

Very idiotic question, but are there plastic films on a 7600K and a Be Quiet Pure Rock when unboxing them? I don't remember if I took it off if there is one.

>>61244604
I restarted my machine and upon logging in Windows kicked me off and forced me to reboot because of a "nwifi.sys". I have to browse the banned sites with a VPN again now.

and yes, I am using W10, I am usually fine with just using technological crap targeted to the lowest denominator but W10 has taken it way too far with all the new invasive features, I was seriously considering switching to debian but I don't have time to iron out the issues with compatibility on my most used programs, being an expat with only 1 computer and limited time on my hands I had to make do with W10 right now.

Update your Win+BIOS, install LTSB when you get an hour or two free (USB3 to save time)
Sounds like you're Ok now.

>>61244745
thanks for the advice, though it goes without saying that I would much rather prefer having this side-effect on 24/7 because I noticed the usual slowdown created by activating the VPN is gone and I am able to browse all websites normally. Could I trouble you to tell me what just happened to my internet/VPN before I restarted my machine?

networking issue here that i've so far been unable to resolve with google searches

i've had this router (ASUS RT-N66U pic related) for nearly 3 years now without any significant issues until recently. My ISP is Charter Spectrum and recently the speeds became very slow.

A Charter technician was sent out and he did a line test to no avail, so he replaced my modem (which was a motorola surfboard that was also nearly 3 years old) and replaced it with an arris modem.

Everything seemed fine for 3-4 days until a new issue arose. It seems now anywhere between 1-3 times a day the internet over LAN will become very slow (download and upload) while the wireless speeds download seems fine (120-140MB/s) while the upload speed will become slow as well. When this happens I have to power cycle both devices. When speaking with Charter they said my router is having problems syncing with the modem.

Is this indeed a problem with the router?

Randomly (few times) my c/c++ programs doesn't end by themselves, they do execute everything I told them to execute but the return in main().
[ The chances are even worse when I use exit(x) ]

This turns running the "make" command on projects the compile and run "test programs" impossible: feels like I have to flip 50 coins and get 50 tails in a row.

What would be the key components to a dedicated storage/media server for my dorm? There's myself and 3 other dudes in here, and since 2 of them have laptops, was going to consider letting them store shit directly on a dedicated machine, but also having it so you can watch movies/videos and listen to music from the machine to your computer.
What would be the best way to go about this?
I plan on having it pretty much open 24/7, or at least most of the day since it'd primarily be used near-constantly during the day, and very little over night if at all.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions, anons.

For a little bit of detail, the respective storage systems are as follows.
Dude 1's laptop is some Asus with 250GB SSD as the only storage, so he relies heavily on fuck tons of USBs and SD cards.
Dude 2's laptop is a HP with some 500GB 5400RPM drive, which is fine, but 500GB isn't a lot.
I have a basic 1TB 7200RPM drive from Toshiba.
He has a 4x2TB RAID setup, but wanted to sell them in the process of upgrading his system.

Most guides I read recommend server ITX boards for DIY NAS builds but I just wanna build a cheap one using ebay parts just to RAID my media. Do I really need a server ITX?

You know how you're router is supposed to go in your master phone socket for optimal speed.

How much effect does it have?

For instance I'm supposed to get about 35MB download speed, how much would I lose by having my router connected to a regular socket?

I only get around 15MB in a normal socket as I can't find my master, could it have that much of an effect or is it something else?

That's how turbo speeds work on pretty much all CPUs.

For example, my i5 has a stock speed of 3.3GHz, and a max turbo of 3.7GHz, but only on 1 core (all other cores stay at 3.3).

With 2 cores in turbo the max is 3.6GHz on those cores, and for 3 cores the max is 3.5GHz.

This make it easier to manage power and heat.

>>61246418
it's just a (now rather dated) naming convention
keep in mind the web is newer than the internet, domain names weren't made just to suit the web
so the convention is that different services hosted on a domain should use different subdomains, to help describe which service you're accessing, for example;
www.domain.com for the web
ftp.domain.com for ftp
smtp.domain.com for smtp mail
and so on. the domain itself ("domain.com") can also be used, and because of the popularity of the web, it has become more common to host web services on the domain itself, as well as or instead of the "www" subdomain

Anyone know how to make a server? I want to make a small black box, just for home use that would act like a cloud. I wanna be able to transfer files (like music, photos, etc) to it from both computer and phone over wifi and also ideally over bluetooth as well. Could anyone point me in the right direction to get this project started?

Isnt vnc actually a remote desktop application? Not that I mind, in fact itd be even better if I could control the desktop from my laptop. Mirroring alone would be enough by me.

the only way for a home server to have internet access without being on your network is if it's on a separate internet line, like it's own 3G connection or separate phone line, there's no reason for anyone to do this (at least anymore, you're not making a dial-in BBS, are you?)

>>61248028
Well, CPUs tend to come with some shitty integrated ones anyway.

>>61248028
so a computer needs a gpu to be a computer now?
whatever you get will likely have some kind of gpu regardless, for the simple fact that most people want some kind of gpu, outside of embedded stuff, which is mostly very low end stuff probably not suitable for a high speed file server
yes, dedicated rackmount servers almost always have gpus, despite practically never having a monitor attached to them

anon, a computer needs ALU, RAM, clock, and some program memory. doesn't even need a processor

I use an ASUS z170 motherboard and I have a shitload of fans plugged into it. One of the fans is the secondary fan on my GPU's rad.
So one of the two fans on it is powered by the GPU and the second is powered by my motherboard.
ASUS's AI suite fancontroller software does not let you make fan profiles based on GPU temperature but I need to.
I want all of my fans except the two on the CPU's radiator bound to GPU temperate.
What software can I use to do this?

>>61247721
anyone?

My laptop ethernet port seems to set itself to 10 mbps even if 100 mbps is available.
I tested the cable with another laptop, with which i get 100 mbps. What could be the cause? Drivers are the latest available from the asus support website, specifications report 10/100 mbps ethernet.

>>61248217
Dont use ASUS AI Suite.

use MSI afterburner.

>>61248258
Isn't that just GPU overclocking software? It's able to set fan profiles for all of my case fans based on GPU temp?

I know that both Linux and Windows use free memory for caching and buffers, but they present it in a completely different way, which is why sites like linuxatemyram.com exist, to help confused linux babbies.
When you see high memory usage in task manager in Windows it means that there's no AVAILABLE memory (meaning free + cached). That means you have to kill active tasks to run new ones.

>>61249711

>>61249698
A multimeter won't tell you anything, you need an oscilloscope to check for ripple.
Voltage ripple is the biggest factor in reducing lifespan of components, and your PSU probably has massive ripple if you have to try multiple times to get it to turn on.

>>61249698
>How much damage am I causing and how?
You better check the SMART status of all your HDDs and SSDs.

>getting annoyed

sell my soul and upgrade to windows 10, completely wipe SSD beforehand, fresh updated drivers. Win10 seemed to be working better but i still occassionally get these fucking CPU spikes where NOTHING will function for about 30 seconds until it clicks back to life. its never under a heavy load, it just picks a moment and decides to cease all function until it can be bothered to come around.

Things like RAID and GPU drivers should come from the chipset manufacturer (Intel/AMD/nVidia).

c-can i plug my thermal probe thing into a molex without it starting a housefire or electrocuting me

>>61250459
why do you even need a thermal probe
better not be to probe your psu, that's like probing your ass and is gayyy

>>61250598
Because I have a windowed case and would like to see what kind of heat my housefire is putting out at a glance.

>>61250595
One pin on a molex is 5v and the other is 12v
The two middle ones are ground
If you plug it into the 5v probably nothing will happen
If you plug it into the 12v it should work fine

How important are disk defrags? My system has been feeling progressively sluggish for some reason

>>61250595
In theory yes, in practise, you should probably get a proper PSU for it.
If you can find a 12V output on your motherboard, I would recommend using that instead. You can use a fan header in DC mode for that, just make sure it's set to 100% speed.

>>61250612
I will wear oven gloves and safety glasses just in case, thanks.

>>61250624
>12V output on your motherboard
Hmm, my board is an Asrock Extreme 4 Z77, it has a 'full on' fan header, why would it be better?

>>61250619
very important if you're on Windows
NTFS is such a crappy format

>>61250634
It will provide a cleaner voltage, and if the thermometer breaks and shorts out, the fan header can't provide enough current to set it on fire.

>>61250658
Fair point, I suppose 6w from my motherboard is better than 75w from a molex.

>>61250619
Important, but also completely automatic since win7. Switch to an SSD and it'll perk right up. You're problem is probably with installed crapware though. I'd recommend a clean install if your hardware isn't shit.

>>61250638
do you have an application you would recommend?

>>61250697
Realistically, the Windows defragmenter is fine these days.
It's not like you're running your OS from a HDD. Right?

>>61250691
idk if crapware is really the case. i usually always have my eye on the task manager to see whats eating up my resources but there really is nothing that is.

I'm building a dual lga 2011-3 system (xeon e5-2683 V3s). I already have one Noctua NH-U9S laying around and would love to get away with just buying another one. Will this be enough to cool the e5-2683 if it's running at max for hours at a time or will I need to step up to the NH-D15?

How do I back up my BIOS? I've managed to install a Xeon E5450 in an old Dell and it works, but the idle temps are rather high (currently 60C). I've read that the CPU will run cooler if you flash the existing BIOS with a hacked one, but I don't want to risk bricking the computer. So how do I go about making a backup of my current BIOS and then firing that up in the off chance the hacked BIOS fucks up my computer?

A non systemd distro, can steam, can drivers ?

Just got a new router, old one burned out. I've got the replacement hooked up, cables checked out, logged in to the new network with provided password and etc, but the damn automatic Netgear setup tool refuses to detect the connection properly. Any idea what might be wrong? I've even given it the MAC address and it can't figure its shit out.

>>61250994
don't use the auto config
whats ur EXACT model?
usually, u set ur WAN to DHCP unless u use l2tp/pptp/etc with auth.

remove ur config and mac u write

>>61250973
doesn't ur guide address that possible issue?
perhaps there is another one on the board that you can toggle between physically?
its all model specific.
i never heard of that done on servers

>you should probably get a proper PSU for it
Just wondering, what do you mean by this?

>>61251051
The guide instead tells me to reset the BIOS, which I fear might be useless if I try flashing a hacked BIOS. It's an old computer (Dell Optiplex 330), but with a new CPU in it it works really well. It'd be a shame if I accidentally brick the computer.

Why does this shit happen? It's random and you can see how the cursor jumps.

>>61250767
More that you've probably installed and uninstalled a lot of shit over the years. Windows registry rot takes its toll. For most complaining their shit is "slow", pretty much the only upgrade I recommend is an SSD. That is unless you're willing to trade in the whole rig.

A battery is a power supply.
A phone charger is a power supply.
A solar panel is a power supply.
Most people here would think of a power supply being that box in your PC that things plug into to make them turn on.

So I managed to flash the BIOS of my Optiplex 330 with the hacked one, and not only did it not brick my computer, it also "unlocked" the 4GB RAM limit it once had, so now it can have a whopping 8GB of DDR2 RAM. However, the CPU (Xeon E5450) still runs a bit hot, around 60C idle according to Core Temp. Is there anything that I can do to make it run cooler, or am I SOL? I'm guessing if it hits 60C on IDLE, using for gaming will be a no go, which is what I was intending to do with this computer.

Trying to understand 3rd party libraries and C. Does this sound about right?

>static linking -> the linker merges the libraries you use directly into your binary

So my computer just randomly shut off while i was browsing /g/ and listening to Youtube in a different window.

It's a couple years old now, but I don't really use it for much other than gaming. I recently installed a new gpu, and I doubt that is the issue.

Why would a PC just restart out of the blue?

>>61251873
That's it.

>>61251917
What was your old gpu and what is your new gpu?

so theres this bug where you cant install Debian without an internet connection
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=866629

and im at a total loss how to get Debian on a mac air (no ether, prop broadcom wifi)

I have a .deb file that works if the system is installed, it works in the live environment
http://ftp.wa.co.za/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/

so where im at is I can only install wifi on a installed system, and I cant install a system without wifi
>thanks systemd, I know you dont want people installing offline machines
Can anyone figure this out for me?

>>61252076
Old was GTX 745 4GB

new one is GTX 1050ti 4GB

I don't think it is my gpu, because I have had it for about a month and haven't had any issues at all.

Any feedback is much appreciated though anon.

nu bread when?

If I wanted to learn to create my own gadgets, which online courses should I be looking up? At a minimum I'd like to be able to design my own circuit boards and then program them.

>>61252080
The first link you sent seem to imply that only the live image is affected.
Have you tried the "complete installation image" on https://www.debian.org/distrib/ ?

>>61252143
Considering the 1050ti is a more powerful card, it may be your power supply that's struggling to keep up. A failing power supply can cause random system shutdowns.

That makes sense. I guess it could be that, but the minimum power supply for my 1050ti is 300w, and my PC has a 460w.

Is there and way to find out how much power it is getting?

>>61252261

side note, high (over ~250 GHz) signals are useless for anything other than extremely close range radio

therefore the fcc lets even the lowest tier of hams use everything above that.
combine this with the fact they they openly support experimentation in the ham community means you could have a whole host of short range wireless tech in your house. homemade drones, wireless home automation, and the like

(portably meaning across x11/wayland/whatever)
what i really want is to memcpy memory to a pointer and run a function to swap buffers, but that might be too little to ask.
i would rather not use a real/large library but if i must i would very much prefer no automake, cmake, or waf.

is there a limit to how much code you can post?
why the hell is there a limit?
i thought that was the purpose of the code box, so you can post a longass code :(

I just bought new speakers. But the cable isn't long enough to reach my PC. It can however reach the monitor which is getting audio through displayport. Am I sacrificing audio quality by using monitor as the go between? Should I rearrange things so my speakers can plug directly into my computer?

If you are using their dns servers they could be spoofing the cert on a proxy (unlikely and easy to check, just do a dns lookup) or if you are using their computers they could have spyware on it (also unlikely, not standard practise).
So yeah, technically but probably not.
