How can I do stuff like this on Win10? Already got Linux but I want to also pretty up the botnet.

Never mind, previous (current) thread: >>61351627

This is what I get for searching "sqt" on the catalog a dozen times and anxiously making a thread, since the other isn't tagged sqt. At least this one is tagged.

So, I accidentally exceeded my data cap the other month. My ISP reported me and some FBI agents showed up last week with a warrant and seized all my computer hardware. Apparently, using that much data placed me in the "high risk" category for being a terrorist.

Anyways, they didn't find anything, but now they're refusing to return my hardware? What should I do? My lawyer is telling me that the legal battle would cost more than the value of the electronics.

>>61368186

I missed the 1.5 billion epoch moment. Did any 4chan image get it exactly? If not what was the closest/the first 15xxx image?

realistically, how retarded is it to repurpose my 5 year old computer as an "offline server" (just shoving a bunch of hard drives in there and configuring them as RAID 1 and not having it connected to the internet or even my home network), so if i want to move some files from it to my main computer, i would have to connect an external hard drive in order to copy files from one computer to the other.

is this retarded? I don't want to access it online or even from my home network. And it will be powered off when not in use (and also use full disk encryption with VeraCrypt/ButtLocker).

How do I reset 2 HDDs used in Raid 0? Format or undo the Raid in the BIOS?
I want to delete everything, to use the drives on a new PC.

>>61368272
If such a computer is useful to you, go for it.
What are you going to use it for, though? Encryption or some shit? Unless you're a CA or something that's going overboard.

>>61368391

I currently have 4 external hard drives (only half of the total storage is usable because I'm manually mirroring them in case of data loss etc), but it's quickly becoming a clusterfuck due to needing more storage space soon.

My use of it will simply be offline storage.

I have a ga-78lmt (rev 5.0), for some reason my ssd doesn't run at the best speed.
If it's my sata ports restricting it, could I fit a PCIe card with sata 3 ports and run my ssd from there? I can't find out if my PCI is the correct one.

>>61368186
Same thing happened to my friend a while back. Just wait until they send you the bill for the honor of being accused and investigated. He had to pay over $20k for them to do forensics on his own shit.

>>61368186
>>61368602
Can this happen in Canada? What are the numbers of the data cap and how far you exceeded it? Is it exceeding it at all which places you at "high risk" for being a terrorist?

Some scary shit. Sorry you had to be subject to this.

Hey, same anon from the last thread talking about DBAN. Found Hiren's Boot CD and it didn't give me that annoying error finally. Problem: the data wipe apparantly took half a minute to destroy all 300GB. I'm skeptical about that actually happening. I booted the HDD and instantly returned to the BIOS menu, but I'm still skeptical. Anyone here knowledgable about Hiren's version of DBAN? Perhaps confirm if it really doesn't take that long?

If I reinstall windows or install some linux distro, do I need to do anything to my hard drives other than the one I'm installing on?

Yes, I used to dual boot Linux and windows and could still access my media from my other drives fine.

How do I web development in my free time without javascript ? I don't want to get into this ES mess but every semi-basic functionality like dropdown menu is much easier with JS.

I do django now (I come from a scientific background so python was the easier way for me) and everytime I want to do semi-basic shit like a dropdown menu I struggle and end copypasting JS <script> like a faggot

Is there an alternative to this meme language that is JS in scrub webdev ?

Is there a similar buyers guide as on /tpg/, but for used desktop like optiplex?

>>61370211
anything will work, HwMonitor is what I use but there's pretty much no difference really, all it's doing is reading a sensor i think, hell you could write your own.

>>61370294
Yeah, of course anything will work, it's just I never monitored my temps and don't want to download some random malware from using google.
Thanks, hwmonitor it is then.

Why does "sed 's|/*|/|g'" place a '/' after every character? Shouldn't it just match any repeating occurences of '/'?

>>61370378
Well I dunno about Ireland specifically, but based on experience your best bet would be entry level helpdesk call centre work of some sort.

Get in at the ground level and try to learn as much as possible and eventually you'll advance, either at that company or by changing jobs. It's what I did.

>>61370531
That basically says "any one 's' or any zero or more '/' or any one '/' or any one 'g'". The '/*' might be a problem depending on what you're doing because it could match with anything.

>>61370597
OH. Right. Then I should be using '+' for 1 or more matches?
Still doesn't work, mind you, but it helps.

>>61370619
This werks: sed 's|/\+|/|g' You have to escape + in sed

Ok, I'm gonna do it. Thanks for your replies!

Should I stay with Windows 10 for buttlocker + software RAID 1 or folder duplication (not gonna use Windows 10 Storage Spaces since the new AES-XTS mode apparently corrupts the drives instantly).

I've been looking at StableBit DrivePool which by the looks of it has some kind of support for BitLocker. Since there is a free trial available I could probably just play around with it, and even try VeraCrypt aswell.

I also looked at FreeNAS which boasts encryption and raid and whatnot but I have very limited experience with GNU/Linux and none with *BSD.

Are these retarded options? If yes, I could just stick with the good old JBOD and then mirroring the folders manually with FreeFileSync or something.

Sorry for the long and incoherent post, is pic related any good? I have zero experience with hardware RAID (if the product in the picture even can do that)?

Thaks for the (You)'s

I'm downloading a 15gb public torrent, it was going at 10mb/s but after the first 10gb the downloading completely stopped. Did it kick me off or something? It only uploads at 500kb/s so do I have to wait a few days for my ratio to balance before it will let me download more?
I dont normally torrent big things like this so I'm not sure if this is normal, didnt expect a public torrent to care about seeding/leeching.

>>61371144
It means nobody seeding it has the torrent downloaded at 100%.

If the available seeders only have 10GB done, then that's all you'll get.

>>61371144
Probably bottlenecked by the seeder/s that have the last 5 GB

gui, by far. The terminal display has its place, but is a niche one and populated mostly by people who already know they need it (constant remote acess where the terminal makes it easier for ex).

Stream read = respStream.GetResponseStream();
if (respStream.StatusCode == HttpStatusCose.OK)
{
Image _pic = Image.FromStream(read);
try{
_pic.Save(location, format);
_pic.Dispose();
}
catch (Exception ex) {}
}

why does it keep giving me generic GDI+ errors? It's not read and write permissions, while it may be some not finished loading image problem, how can I address it? I tried

Image _pic = Image.FromStream(read);
Bitmap pic = new Bitmap(_pic);
try{
pic.Save(location, format);
pic.Dispose();
}
catch (Exception ex) {}

but nothing changed...

excuse me if this is too /v/ but there's no way I'm going to that shithole

I got into minecraft again and all my chest and inventory items are completely empty, item frames aand paintings are dropped, and signs display everything as an incorrect value. I've determined that this is because I downgraded my world from v1.8 to v1.7, which changed how item values are stored and corrupted everything.

Is there a way I can recover these items? I have an old save that has all the chest items in it, but I've made a lot of progress on my world since then and don't want to do it again.

I can elaborate more if you need me to.

Hello, I am having a problem with my z170p motherboard: my computer keeps rebooting while playing games/3d rendering, giving me the anti-surge error screen. I deactivated the anti_surge, but my computer still reboots. Here are my specs :

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (EVGA)

I'll stop writing like a faggot here, by the way you have to download something, reducing your bandwidth, that lets you see what reduces your bandwidth, fag. Unless you can plug your brain between your router and the wall and sniff packets that way. If you can, do it. Or you could just plug your brain in the power outlet, it's a valid solution.

How difficult would you say it is to create an app with these 3 tabs which will be very specific because it's for a specific nonprofit:

>calendar with events which when clicked on will direct you to a website
>fill out a document, attach pictures, and then have document+pictures sent to certain email address
>shows a Google excel sheet (which is often updated) OR enter username and password and have associated data from Google sheet (just a number) pop up

Also, this app will have push notifications. I already took basic classes on Java, C++, and C as part of my engineering degree so far, so I'm not completely clueless or anything. Thanks.

Install Peerblock, create a new list, set on "Block" and add this filter:
>whatevername 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255

It will block all your internet traffic, check the Peerblock log to see what's trying to communicate with the internet. Probably a shitload of stuff will appear, some stuff is default system connections, like between your PC and your router, other shit is microsoft, your AV, auto-updaters like java, flash and similar bloat.
You should close all programs that need internet before doing this obviously.
Anyway, if you use that Peerblock filter, 99% sure your internet will stop working (it blocks the router too after all), you've to verify one by one which IP is the router and all its default protocols and what isn't, then you can whitelist all the router-related IPs creating a new list with whatever name you want (make it set to Allow), personally I used "Router" to not confuse with others.
After that, write down all the suspicious IPs and check on whois who they are. Do you need them? if not, don't whitelist them, otherwise create a new list, give it whatever name you want and set it on "Allow" and add all the IPs you want to whitelist in it.
I created a list for every site I use, like 4chan, ebay, paypal, etc, I enable only when I need to use those sites.
This should solve your speed problem, if something is really wasting your bandwidth in background you will find out this way. If still not, then call your ISP and report that internet sucks.

I'm using Deluge and it says I'm connected to several peers with 100% completion, but it isn't downloading from anyone, just uploading. Should I just let it upload all night, is there some sort of queue system?

i have an old computer that loses video output only.while playing games at seemingly random times or events. I can go 12+ hours on ffxiv with no issues. other times it will lose video output within 20 mins. The computer has a gigabyte motherboard GA-Z68A-D3H-B3.,an i5 2500k cpu. 8gb generic ram that is 1600hz. a new gtx 1060 6gb powered by a new thermaltake 550 watt. when this happens the system stays on, what ever programs were running are still active, voice chat still going, just no signal to monitor. ive ruled out heating issues so thats not it. i have been thinking its a bad psu not providing the correct amount of juice to the gpu and some how the gpu loses video signal. can 4chan help me solve this problem?

Are Lenovo tabs any good? I found some on clearance for $199 AUD, when they're normally $399 here

I'm sorry but I'm confused. You said you wanted mpv to use gpu for something but then said you don't. I understand this is a thread for stupid questions but maybe if you explain a little more you might get an answer that makes you happy.

Any plugins for Firefox that can give me a floating player for YouTube? Like how the Android app let's you keep watching videos while you do other things in the app?(With Android O this will even be possible system wide).

Basically I need to be able to still watch the video while scrolling to comments like you can natively on Vimeo. A massive bonus would be if the floating player could follow me to other tabs as well, so I could be in another tab doing something else while looking at the video out of the corner of my eye.

Hey, so i have a problem.

My laptop's (hp pavilion dv6-6c35dx) hard drive died a while ago, and I finally bought a new one to replace it. A 1TB one. I also have Win7 install disks.

I installed the new HDD, and turn the computer on, but the screen does not turn on. Everything else seemingly works fine, but it remains blank, not even displaying a black screen. It worked before the previous HDD died.

Is the screen fucked? Any ideas?

Is there a limit to USB 3.0 speeds? Let me explain.

if i transfer from an external drive to an internal drive, i get ~100MB/s

if i transfer to two different folders simultaneously i get around 30MB/s on each transfer (from the same external drive to the same internal drive).

Now, if I had two external drives and two internal drives, could I get ~100MB/s on each transfer if i moved files from external "A" to internal "A" and then moved some shit from external "B" to internal "B" (so the "A" and "B" pairs are isolated if you catch my drift)?

>>61381768

is that the only hard drive inside it? Have you installed Windows 7 on it yet? I have no experience with laptop BIOS's but you might have to change boot orders for your new drive or try to install Windows 7 from a bootable USB or DVD

>>61381794
Depends on the controller, but for USB 3.0 it will be 5Gbps.

Yes, Your problem is a HDD limitation, not a USB limitation.
Its faster to move bigger stuff than smaller stuff even if both folders are the same size.
In this case instead moving one big folder you are moving 2 big folders at the same time inside the same HDD.

But if you moved only one folder to another HDD it will be fast, if you moved it to another it would still be fast since one HDD is reading and the other writing instead doing both at the same time.

Yes, the only one. Main drive.

I have not installed anything on it yet. I attempted to do it earlier on a separate laptop, and the installer told me it cannot install onto a drive connected by USB, so I was just gonna do it once I put it on the laptop I need it on. Yes, I know how to boot it and install.

If yes does it has a AMD CPU?
If no dont worry.

>>61381484

>>61381936
Use uBlock Origin instead.
Buy him Malwarebytes premium if you care so much that person.
If not, just scan his PC with the offline version every now and then.

>>61381980
As long as it's non-invasive, I think that will work. Thanks, anon.

>If yes does it has a AMD CPU?

>>61382007
uBlock Origin unlike the average adblock will stop anything from loading if its malware or adware, you might want to add some filter lists other than the stock ones, you just have to click them in settings.
Malwarebytes non-paid version is enough for most people, but for a tech illiterate person it would be better if everything was done automatically.
Also run Adwcleaner every now and then on his computer and check his/her startup list.

>>61382074
You sure this is the first time you had this problem? because i doubt this was caused by you changing your HDD.
Endless flashing means motherboard/GPU failure.
This is usually caused by overheating, and HP is known to gimp cooling and use shit paste that leads to high temperatures.

If I upgrade from my i5 4570 to a Ryzen 1600X (i.e. a new motherboard and CPU) and for try to keep the same HDD, with the same Windows 10 installation and files, will it still work? Will it be at all usable?

>>61382130
>>61382074
Also i forgot to ask before, how fast is the flashing?

Fast or moderate?

>>61382130
this had never happened before.

Once the hard HDD failed, I kept it unplugged, inactivated, and upside down for a week or so. That couldn't have done something to it could it?

>>61382181
Moderately. It flashes 5 times, with a second between each, then it waits 2 seconds and does it again.

>Do you have access to the CMOS battery?
Yeah, it's in clear view. Damn, don't think we have any of those on hand. Will go look just in case.

>>61382521
No just remove it and put it again, this will reset your laptop BIOS to default settings.

>>61382529
Alright, removed and replaced it.

Same result. Dang

>>61382624
From now on its all basic steps, there is not a lot you can do since its hard to find the problem.
Try a different charger.
Remove and put RAM again.
Did you try to turn it on with no HDD?

I would recommend you to dont invest in the computer, and if you need a laptop just buy a cheap Thinkpad(T400 should be $70-80).
If it was a good one that would be another story and it would be a good idea to spend on it to fix it.

what's a simple, no bullshit, free program for ripping dvd's to a hard drive?

What's the difference between i++ and ++i in Java?
Specifically, this is doing my god damn head in;

int x = 5;
int y = x++;
int z = ++x;
System.out.println("sum is " + (x+y+z) );

The output is 19, but no matter how I look at it I can't understand why. There's got to be some little thing I'm overlooking.

>>61382729
One adds 1 to the variable after the operation (i++) and the other before the operation (++i).

>>61382729
19? dont you mean 16?

>>61382729

int x = 5; // x == 5
int y = x++; // y == 5, x ==6
int z = ++x; // z == 7, y == 5, x == 7
System.out.println("sum is " + (x+y+z) ); // 7 + 5 + 7 == 19

>>61382757
So in the example there

System.out.println("sum is " + (x + x++ + ++x) );

Am I wrong in thinking x = 5, y = 5 and z = 6 for this operation? Because the value of y hasn't been incremented yet, but the value of z has?

>>61382803
That's what I thought at first but Eclipse disagrees, it spits out 19

is it new thread time?

>>61382834
We haven't hit bump limit, and we are in page 1.
No.

Why does the value of x change here?

Whenever I don't touch my computer anymore Windows 10 is doing something on my computer. What the fuck is it?

>>61382844
It is mutated by the prefix and postfix operators (++x and x++).

Welcome to Windows 10 anon the botnet and spyware thing were no joke.

sorry, whats bump limit on here (in fact, how did you find out (and for the rest of the boards?)?)

310-315.
4chanX, ccd0 fork to be exact install it if you dont have it, its quite handy.

>>61382808
When you set z it is assigned before x is incremented. So z=6 and after that x=7.

>>61382862
I had no idea the increment operators worked that way. I still don't fully understand it but thankyou for the concise answers.

>>61382863
can you disable any of that stuff?

Shame. Was hoping it was savable. But thank you for all your help anon.

The thing is it goes away the second I touch my mouse, so I can't even check what it's doing as it instantly disappears. I think at least.

>>61382883
cheers (sorry again, but what do forks refer to?)

>>61382889
No, that line uses a prefix operator. x is incremented first, then the incremented value is assigned to x.

>>61382920
*assigned to z

>>61383009
so is the choice win 7 or 8 (or still 10 despite these issues)?

>>61383064
Yes.
LTSB is the best version since you can turn off stuff or it doesn't come at all (Cortana, edge, windows store, etc).

Windows 10 is not bad itself, its just it has too much broken stuff over it.
Example, you have to use the group policy editor to disable Windows defender which should be deactivated when you install another antivirus, but it is never deactivated.
