I hate programming, can I get a better job than that with a comp sci degree?

how come in england the water goes left around the plug hole but in ant articta it just goes down themidle?

Im playing with some kernel patches and i need to change the name.What files in the kernel tree do i need to modify? I found the makefile variable but i cant seem to find the headers that change the name and other relevant info

>>61296440
Sure, computer science isn't really about programming. You should end up as a project supervisor or something with a degree like that.

>>61296451
The name of what?

>>61296440
DBA

>>61296451
You mean the version string? It's generated from the main Makefile, to add a bit on the end add it to the EXTRAVERSION = line

>>61296535
What about the os name and kernel name.

>>61296520
Yeah I just calculated online an it says its 300W total under load with a 6850, I think a Cyclone r6850 draws even more, doesn't sound safe. Is there any benefit of using a dedicated GPU for this Celeron 450 setup for browsing and watching videos and etc, anyway?

Also I just checked the mobo and it says it supports DDR3 1066, can I put some old 2x2GB 1600 RAM sticks on it? Or will it run slower due to socket limitations? I think there's already 2x2GB RAM sticks in it, I bet you can't put all those together and get 8GB right

>>61296531
Also mine is different because there are only 6 connectors on the black end and not 8

>>61296493
Ah, I did look into that at one point regarding the OS being reported as GNU/Linux, that is set in glibc (or uname I don't remember). There is a big switch case but for anything running Linux kernel and not musl libc it falls back to returning the g/l string which is set at compile time based on the hosts libc.

>>61296570
Using a more modern GPU that more widely supports video decode could be useful, a 6850 not really.

Faster rated RAM will work fine so long as it's the same type, but you usually won't get the higher speed. You probably can use the two old + two new sticks to get 8GB.

>>61296594
It comes from uname function in kernel, not in libc. You can change it in the generated file source/include/linux/uts.h

Can a bitcon miner/virus/malware that is using resources on my Pc stay hidden from task manager usage? I.e if I'm currently using %20 of gpu and cpu and a bitcoin miner is using %50 of both, can it hide showing %50 and only show %20?

>>61296627
Uname doesn't just echo that, it uses it to decide what to say.

>>61296627
That has UTS_SYSNAME " Linux"
Where would the OS name be set?

>>61296634
To elaborate if I'm using a resource monitoring program to check pc usage, can a bitcoin miner hide itself from showing it's using resources on my Pc?

>>61296650
What exactly do you mean by OS name?

>>61296649
uname(1) just echos what it gets from uname(2), which has it's responses from the #defines in uts.h

Can't download anything from the Playstation Store lately. Can't figure out why. Could it be because I have NAT type 3?

What would be a better GPU to go with a Xeon E5450 at 3.0ghz and 8gb of 800mhz DDR2? A 1050 or a 1050TI? I know the CPU is almost a decade old, but it holds surprisingly well in most games, however more CPU intensive games like Battlefield 1 will take its toll.

I'm trying to mass-convert png files to webp, but cwebp doesn't seem to let me use wildcards at all. Since I don't want to put up with doing each file individually, does anyone know the proper way of doing this? I tried Googling it, but had no luck.

Ideally it should be something I can do with a batch file so that I can quickly add it to the context menu for PNG files

Whenever I try to run pcsx2 it always crashes if I plug my ds3 into the computer before I start emulating, e.g if I left my ds3 connected by usb whilst turning my comp on or plugged it in before starting pcsx2 it will crash immediately.
Any idea what this could be?
I remember my driver install being pretty sketchy using SCP but it works if I plug the controller in after emulation starts.

>>61296953
>What's the benefit of an external hard drive that's powered separately from the usb port?
Nothing, it has entirely to do with how much power the drive itself needs. Typically drives that are 3.5" and not 2.5" will require seperate power supplies.
Although I guess a secondary advantage of this is the drive won't suddenly power off in the event of power surges/system shutdown?

>Also, what's the most reliable hard drive?
WD and Hitatchi have the best reliability rates, although Seagate is making a recovery in that.

>>61296959
That's it, UTS_SYSNAME

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/uname.c#n371
HOST_OPERATING_SYSTEM is set from gnulib (which is pulled down in the ./bootstrap script in coretulis src) and is defined here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/m4/host-os.m4#n51
As you can see GNU uname doesn't care what libc you are running, it just automatically reports anything on a linux kernel as running GNU/Linux.

>>61296920
Alright, here's what I put in and what I get out. I also need to keep the original filename as well, although I didn't put it in the command line since it makes its own error

I tried video stablization but that wasnt it(i used blender).What other effect can this be called?

>>61297071
I guess. You could try hex editing it but idk if there are crc checks on elfs these days.
Ideally people would stop using this opinionated hard-coded string that doesn't even check the libc to prove some point.

Shouldn't a DDR3 1066 slot work with DDR3 1600 RAM?

>>61297206
I'll give that a shot, thanks

>>61297233
It should work. Could be ECC ram or maybe a short or something weird like that though.

>>61297285
great, now the computer won't even boot with its old memory nor beep

why do they have to be so anal with RAM, I hate computers

>>61297319
make sure the ram is pushed fully into the slot
if it was actually a ddr2 slot and you can't make the difference between numbers then ids hobleds

>>61297285
>>61297354
It says DD3 1066, I read it on the mobo. I don't know exactly the brand, it's a mATX Ami- something. Amicomputer? It's for a Celeron

also before I had the audacity of messing with its RAM, it said on the boot screen that it was running at 800mhz or whatever. I was trying to do a clean install, forgot to plug the HDD and had the wonderful idea of messing with its memory.

Now the piece of shit won't even boot

on windows, I can connect to one wifi network and create a separate ad-hoc network and share the internet connection. how do I do that on Debian stretch gnu/linux

>>61297185
Check the source you idiot and stop spouting bullshit without checking your facts:

typedef struct {
    struct utsname name;
    char processor[sizeof(((struct utsname*)NULL)->machine)];
    char platform[sizeof(((struct utsname*)NULL)->machine)];
    char os[sizeof("GNU/Linux")];
} uname_info_t;

That is what is on debian testing at the moment but the get repo seems to have it as a kbuild option who's default is GNU/Linux, so still hardcoded.

why does it seem that the Switch is vaporware?

so many retailers in my own that SHOULD have the Switch, and every time i go, they are all "sold out". but i don't know anyone who has one yet. how can they keep selling out and yet no one has them? i think these stores NEVER had any, or if they did, the employees bought them.

>>61296769
they mean the same thing
32bit RGBA = 8bit per channel, for four channels (r, g, b, a). 8*4=32

>>61297754
Hmmm, are you sure about that?

My assignment specifically says "the drawing happens internally on a float texture (RGBA, 32bit per channel) which is displayed in a window bitmap (RGBA, 8 bit per channel)".

>>61297206
>>61297258
Sweet fucking Christ, Honeyview can convert files to WebP, making this whole exercise pointless. Fuck me.

>>61297391
Clear CMOS, try again.

>>61297792
32 bit per channel is different to saying 32 bit.

For graphics you'd often want a higher precision and/or floating point internally so you can apply lighting effects or similar without causing banding.

>>61297792
you should have said 32bit per channel if that's what you meant
that's incredibly high precision, what's it for?

anyway, there is a benefit to higher-than-output pricision when editing.
for example, lets say you want to increase the brightness of the image, this involves 'stretching' the darker values over a larger range, having only exactly as much as the output (editing at 8bpc) means you're lowering the potential quality of the output

>>61297877
>>61297879
I see, that makes sense.

>>61296769
The point is the image you are drawing might not be the only thing being drawn. If you draw two things that are overlapping then there will be blending happening.
If you are just drawing things that are not overlapping (and plan to keep doing that for the remainder of development) there isn't a point to render in RGBA.

If you are serious I doubt it.

Thanks. I read eating most meats increase testosterone. Does this include fish? If not, would it be relatively safe to say a Japanese diet (basically fish, rice, tofu, and tons of green stuff) is the ideal diet for both a feminine body and a great brain?

Is there any way to restrict internet access to family members using wifi?
I use the internet cable to play and shit but my parents constantly use the internet all day long and it eats up all the connection, i can't even play properly with this shit.

My phone carrier gives me free Facebook access, since my country doesn't have unlimited data plans.

I don't know shit about web development, but is there a way to build a Facebook wrapper or something to route everything through "Facebook" so I can leech of my carrier indefinitely?

>>61299262
why do you have your parents over so much that it matters?

>>61297700
because Nintendo creates artificial scarcity for whatever reason. which fucking sucks because people always buy those to s it again at a higher price. It happens with every Nintendo product nowadays.

Debian's font rendering is crap. Infinality doesn't want to work. There was a guide to getting it set up from the Ubuntu PPA with the first step being

apt-add-repository ppa:no1wantdthisname/ppa

Which just gave me command not found. There was another guide that gave the exact url, and I plugged that into the package manager and it said there was no release file and no public key. I've never messed around with font rendering but this is so bad it hurts my eyes. Is there an alternative or alternative method of getting this?

>>61299410
On my system apt-add-repository is provided by the package `software-properties-common` for some reason, so try installing that and adding it again.
Or you can add a new sources list manually with something like deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/no1wantdthisname/ppa <latestubuntyrelease> main

>>61299410
Why are you even using debian is such shit are giving you trouble?
Also, stop using ubuntu ppas with debian, this is a very-very bad practice.

http://ppa.launchpad.net/no1wantdthisname/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fontconfig-infinality/

download the deb file and install it using dpkg -i
if it requires extra things, run

apt-get install -f

to fix dependencies. If you use stable and it requires newer version of things, grab them from backports and testing.

Or just install ubuntu.

They are optimised for executing many of math operations in parellel. They have an like hundreds or thousands of cores (idk rly) wheres CPUs have just a few. They can do this because their cores have limited functionality (in terms of operations and register size). They also have a little bit of ram I think. So if you can break a problem down into many independant small calculations (like hashing thousands of random numbers) you can use all those small GPU cores and parellel than hiving to have them wait in a big queue for you cpu cores.

It's possible to detect if a program is running in a VM and thus a virus might be able to exploit a bug in that VM and escape from it. I haven't heard of any virus which has done that though, the ones which detect VMs just deactivate themselves to make debugging harder. But it is possible.

>>61302747

you can get ide to sata connectors somewhat cheaply(few $ per connector, might be cheaper from china), and depending on how many sata ports your computer currently has you can get pcie to sata controllers from 2-8 ports for somewhat less cheaply, you'll also need the sata cables and however many molex power cables in whatever connector the ide to sata connector requires

unless they're decent size drives it's not going to be economical or cheap either way you look at it

another thing to consider is if you're formatting the drives you can just get a pcie raid controller card and connect the drives to that (with the sata connectors still) and raid a couple of them up at a time

if you don't go the ide to sata route you'll end up with a huge bulky mess of ide ribbon cables

also don't skimp on the molex cables you don't want to burn your pc down

What happens if i have 2 drives, how do i separate paths if it doesn't have drive letters?

>>61303448
If the drives are a seperate file system then they appear in /mnt folder. If not then they are in whichever folder you've mapped them to.

Linux does not use hardware-based file system like windows does. So for example the /home directory can be located on boot drive, seperate drive or even on another computer in the network. In Windows this would not be possible, c:\users\ is always on c drive

basically limited to something like an r7 250/250x or gtx 1030 ish, which is barely going to be better (or slightly worse in the case of an r7 250) than the current best intel igpu

you're best off looking for sales or checking ebay periodically for something used, you might be able to find an r9 270x for around $50 which is actually a pretty decent budget card

keep in mind these cards basically only exist for machines without igpus or as a cheap way to get more video outputs

They done fucked up. Sold information. Plus they weren't that great at what they did to being with, and largely redundant against the lighter ublock.

>>61303827
Please anyone

>>61304098
Privacy Badger uses practically nothing. It just keeps track of what resources are loaded by each page, so it doesn't have to go scanning through bigass lists. That's why it doesn't block anything when you first install it.

I suddenly realise that I have not gamed in about 6 months because I always have shit to do at home. Nobody told me it would be this hard. At least I can go to /g/ at work.

>>61301265
Yeah I just decided to stick with chromium which isn't ideal but at least it works correctly.

I dont think theres a 32bit for photoshop cc except cs6 below dude.

>>61304615
Then no. You can't into 32 bit on a 64 bit OS. But most hardware in the last decade+ is capable of running a 64 bit OS anyway.

I have a main router that is connected to a network switch that supplies the whole house with wired ethernet.
If I buy another wifi router and plug it into one of these ethernet ports, will giving it the same ssid and password as the main router allow devices to switch seamlessly between one router's connection and the other without noticing?

>tl;dr how do I use multiple routers to extend wifi coverage across the house

Is Ryzen worth it if I want to do a major overhaul of my computer?

Are m.2 SSDs also worth it? I like the idea of having the OS on an m.2 SSD although I'm not sure if there are advantages over using a SATA SSD.

>>61304665
Use a wifi slave booster. TP Link make a whole bunch of them. They just copy the original router deets.

>>61304665
Basically. You want to connect the ethernet to one of the ethernet ports on the secondary router. Then set it in AP/client mode (disable DHCP, NAT, Firewall). Keep the wifi settings identical, but put the first router on channel 1, and the second on channel 11. And you want the second router on the same subnet but with a different IP. So if the first router is at 192.168.1.1, then set the second router to 192.168.1.2, and have the dhcp range of the first router go from 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.120, so it excludes the IP of the secondary router.

>>61304748
*ethernet to one of the LAN ports on the second router

>>61304748
Thanks, I'm gonna try this

>>61304701
Yeah. It's cheaper than an Intel build unless you're going the Pentium/i3 route like I am. As for SSD you probably won't feel the biggest difference and it'd be cheaper to go with SATA

>>61304701
Unless you need to save money, I would avoid cheaper alternatives and go Intel+NV. It's a bit of a ripoff but the sad reality is that all developers use those chips and therefore all software is tested on and optimised for them.

My previous machine was AMD everything and there was always some obscure issue or other running some things. My current box is Intel+NV and it's been 100% justwerks.

Just my £0.02... it's an unfashionable opinion on /g/.

How can I automatically execute a console command daily on Debian?

>>61304804
While there has been some truth to that, I don't think it's worth the price premium to a lot of people. Also AMD has made some pretty big improvements to the most recent generations, so I don't know how accurate it would be to base your opinion on previous experience.

>>61304880
Doesn't look too different from the industry standard that is the CoolerMaster Evo, so it's pretty good.

Definetly better than a stock cooler though.

>>61304892
Thanks. Also, it looks pretty big, is there any chance of it breaking my socket?

>>61304748
Just to check, what should the dhcp range for the second router be?
Also, right now the first router's range is 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254
Why did you have it go only to 120?
Thanks a lot

>>61304884
cronjob

>>61304933
You CAN go higher than 120, but if you've got more than 100 devices connected to a home network at once, you've got bigger problems. The second router will have DHCP disabled.

>>61305133
5ghz is faster but doesn't reach as far

>>61305049
Router, not modem. Gateway is the first router's IP, same with DNS (or leave it blank)

>>61305133
Range, stability thanks to reduced interference, number of channels.

>>61305056
For what?

Is Tech Support a more stressful job than low IQ programming?

>>61305133
5 ghz has shorter range, doesn't go through objects as well, isn't supported by as many devices, especially older ones. 2.4 has competition from a lot of shit including other wifi, cheap peripherals, bluetooth and your microwave.

hello, i got this book called python the hard way and it basically teaches and encourages me to use python 2 and not 3 even though 3 was already out at the time of the books writing. why is that? should i change the book?

>>61305196
It didn't work.
I had to go into the system preferences to manually enter an IP so I could connect to the second router's control panel.
Still had no access to the first router/internet though.
I had not changed the wifi settings though, I still had it under the same name as before.

Thanks for your answer. I shall trash the book then, yeah? Any books you can recommend me btw?

>>61305272
>H81
That is PCIe x16 3.0.
It will work with no problems.

>>61305403
Sure you connected the routers LAN to LAN? And disabled DHCP on the second one? It should have a static connection to the first router.

>>61305478
I'm not sure. I've heard it's a good book and it's not hard going from 2 to 3.

Hey /g/unit, how can I keep my raspberry pi cool? It keeps getting hot.

>>61305032
Reinstalling the system is a good first step. I'd give him a limited account in windows, maybe not tell him the admin password. Education is a big thing. He may not get that you have to opt out of shit when you're installing things, and that you can't just install anything. Ublock origin with disconnect filters does a good job warning people off of shady download sites. Also put bitdefender free on there, and set the DNS to norton. You can run Adwcleaner periodically.

>>61305439
Sandy bridge IGPUs support up to 1920x1080 or 1920x1200.

My setup is modem (router #1) -> switch -> router #2.
I had disabled DHCP on the second router (pic related)

>>61305591
That is when it has multiple PCIe slots, also sellers will use marketing terms when it comes to PCIe slots.
Based on the chipset (in this case B85) your motherboard can support a number of PCIe 3.0 or 2.0.
H81 supports only one PCIe x16 slot that can be 2.0 or 3.0.
B85 can support multiple PCIe slots but they will work as x8 slots if 2 or more are used.
There is not a huge difference between PCIe x16 2.0 vs 3.0, the only thing is the bandwidth it can support, which a low end GPU wont reach.

TLDR: dont worry, a GTX 1050Ti will work with no problems on that motherboard (The H81 you posted first).

>>61305607
You will need to add USB 3.0 drivers to the windows installer with something like MSI Smart tools.
Set up your motherboard to legacy and if available change SATA mode to IDE.

Thats it, everything will work normal after that.

>>61305597
