How should I name my wifi? It's really hard for me to think of a name... :,(
Also is 1Gbps internet a meme? Just got mine, I can reduce it to 300Mbps if I want to pay less, but honestly 20€/month isn't much...

Trying to write a dumb little bash script to grab a bunch of dotfiles and put them in one folder.

So far I've got:

# update [source] [copy] [destination]
function update
{
    if [ ! -e $1 ]; then
        echo -e "${LRED}$1${NC} doesn't exist!"
    else
        if ! cmp $1 $2 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            echo -e "Copying $BLUE$1${NC}..."
            cp $1 $3
        else
            echo -e "${GREEN}$1 is up-to-date.${NC}"
        fi
    fi
}

I'd like to write another function which will recursively apply this to all the files in the folder passed to it, but I don't know enough about bash and google is failing me.

>man glob

Also defining functions as

update() { ... }

is posix compatible and I don't think using "function" gains you anything.

>>61551325
I have no idea what you're trying to do, but why not a find-exec?

find . -iname ".butts" -exec cp -a {} there/{} \;

>>61551425
Because that can't execute bash functions, only bash scripts!

I want to write a script that automatically accepts my dota 2 matches when one is found so i can go get food then send me a text when it does. The text part isnt hard and i know how to get python to actually accept the match but i don't know how to get the script to recognize when a match has been found. Any ideas?

>>61551681
I've heard searx is good, but honestly I haven't heard any legitimate reasons to not use duckduckgo, and I would very much miss the bangs. I _always_ search youtube and wikipedia via !yt and !w respectively. Heck, it even has obscure shit, like !naruto searches the naruto wikia. I often just try bangs and they tend to work. There are ones for the archwiki and aur as well. I have a feeling there's some sort of smart bang system at plays that takes top sites from results and pushes you to them if you use an unknown bang.

>>61551745
have it watch for a change in the pixels, or setup a camera zoomed in on the exact spot and do it with motion detection

>>61551745
I should mention that switching languages isnt an issue if that changes anything.

>>61551778
I couldnt find any libraries that would just read pixels. The closest thing i found was one that could read pixels in a bitmap, meaning i would have to prtscrn every time the script polls for the match ready, which sounds suboptimal imo.

How to launch wine programs from terminal? I have a .exe in ~/Directory/folder\ name/file.exe etc, and I right click the .exe and open with wine windows program loader.

Also, you are stupid. What if some exploit that get's into some process that had changed user for security but then it goes and calls `su yourusername`? What if you mom wants to see what you do on the computer all day and manages to log in by just pressing enter while you are in the shitter?

How serious is this graphics card mining situation? I was looking to upgrade this year from a 5yr old GTX680 rig to a 1080ti 4k setup. Wait it out for a few months or it's it all fucked forever?

Is hdmi just ass for dual monitors or am i missing some special setting? Whenever i have pretty much anything on the hdmi monitor performance goes to shit, but when connected with dvi it's fine.

>>61552734
1080ti's aren't as inflated because they're not as cost effective to begin with

>>61552734
You do realize there's practically no real difference between 1440p and 4k? Unless you've got a screen the size of rhode island you're basically just killing hundreds of dollars for epeen

>>61552927
Correct. If you want you can make the partition in advance with some other bootable medium, and just direct windows to install there. That way it wont create the unnecessary 100mb partition for boot files.

hgst/hitachi and toshiba are your best bets, but external drives are not made for 24/7 usage. maybe get an internal hgst/hitachi ultrastar and put it in a case/bay? that way the hdd should last way longer.

or save up some money and get an external ssd for the most important stuff instead, they are more durable.

I have an MSI GTX 1080 Armor OC. Without using afterburner the idle temp is about 50°C (max of 57°C). However with afterburner set with a custom fan curve I get 38°C. My question is for this card, and likewise other very powerful cards, do you absolutely need a custom fan graph for acceptable temps? Or is letting it idle at 50°C not THAT bad?

Also, if I ever want to move to Linux, is there anything available that lets you set a custom fan graph like MSI Afterburner?

>>61555037
The only temps that matter are temps under load, which default fan profiles are probably optimised for. They keep the fans as low as possible (sometimes even off) when idle because high idle temps don't matter. 50c is absolutely fine for a GPU in any case.

You'll do more long-term damage to your GPU overworking the fans than letting it idle at a slightly warm temperature.

paint doesn't shrink the canvas to fit pasted image data, only expand
so either make a new document, with a small canvas, or resize the canvas so it's smaller than what you're pasting in before pasting it in (if you can see the whole canvas, then it's small enough for a screenshot, for obvious reasons)

>>61557058
do you currently max out all cores? does your system load value go past 6?
more of the same cores only helps in certain cases, for example, run a single, single-threaded application will only use one core, so having 6 or 12 core won't matter in the slightest. but something like x264 video encoding will happily scale to all 12 cores, yielding a near linear increase in speed with more cores

if you're not sure, try this;
bring up something to view cpu load per cpu, like htop or task manager
then do something that causes your machine to slow down a bit, not a benchmarking or stress testing tool, but just simulate heavy usage of things you actually do use
and look at the cpu usage, if you see something like;
cpu0: 100%
cpu1: 98%
cpu2: 2%
cpu3: 33%
then you won't benefit from more cores/cpus
but if you see closer to;
cpu0: 100%
cpu1: 98%
cpu2: 89%
cpu3: 100%
then you might benefit from it

Ok. Thank you. I will try this.

I've got a phone with a tiny internal storage, which was complemented by a not as tiny second internal storage.
Said second storage died recently for some reason however. It simply disappeared one day. It wasn't SD storage by the way, they were separate but both classified as internal, and as such it's not something I can swap out.
As it died, I tried using an SD to replace it, but it appears the system is still latching on to the dead storage as the only "external" storage it has. I can't install big apps on it, I can't move apps to it because it's trying to move them to the nonexistent dead storage instead of the SD. Trying to access the gallery or camera boots me out with a "No external storage available." error despite the SD being in.
It's running 4.2.2 so it doesn't have the format external storage as internal feature.

Can I do anything about this?

>>61554554
I can post photos/more details when I get home, if you'd like. The issue isn't with the drive (as far as I can tell) as I still have all of the options to install and overwrite a new OS.

The problem is that when I try this I am met with something "no root drive selected." When I correct this and try to continue, I receive an error like "no swap area available." When I correct that, I receive an error like "can not create partition."

I may be way off on what happened here, but I am thinking that wiping the drive will get me to a place where I can start over

I think I really fucked up.

I changed boot from UEFI to Legacy in BIOS. But when I try to restart and go back to BIOS, I get this really annoying beep and have to manually shut it down.

Is there any way to fix this and go back to UEFI?

>>61557589
that should not happen, uefi and uefi with CSM enabled (acting like bios) is only relevant for disks and how to find partition

well not really graphic cards can be UEFI compatible or not, but you are going other way around from legacy to uefi..

disconnect disks from mobo and try boot
anyway, theres always way to reset defaults
either removing cmos battery from mobo, or reading manual which pins you suppose to short to reset uefi to default

With certain games the multiplayer just don't fucking work, this has been happening since I got my latest router, Huawei B315 and I'm trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. It only works when I tether from my phone, then those games will work, never when straight from the router. I tried wifi, ethernet cable same result. Tried messing with every single configuration on the router settings, nothing works. Any advice? I reset my windows network settings, same shit.. Is replacing the router the only option? Should I ask my ISP for a static IP? The problem are with games like Arma 3 and Blackwake. I can't join any servers in Arma 3, I get to a server list but servers wont work.

Dude, raid is not about backup. Raid is about uptime and/or speed. It's not designed to be your only means of backup. It does technically reduce your risk of hardware caused data loss, but does jack shit for the plethora of ways data can be destroyed software side. It's paying double or more for your disks only to have some bit flip wrong and leave you with multiple fucked copies of your data.

Can someone help me make a windows script that restarts the computer after a program shuts down?

Right now I'm using a VPN client that doesn't have an automatic reconnection function. The kill switch takes qbittorrent down when connection is lost to the VPN, and I manually have to put it back up. I'm hoping to achieve one of the below:

1) Automatically restart the nordvpn client after connection is lost

2) Automatically restart the computer after connection is lost (preferred, as autostart runs all the necessary applications up in the right order)

3) A script that detects when the VPN connection times out and restarts the system. I tried googling but google doesn't even come close to picking up my problem.

>What makes a programming language "better" than another similar programming language?
In no particular order:
Preference(this is obviously subjective)
Platform support(for instance, java is "better" than C# because the latter is not nearly as universally supported)
Syntax(PHP for instance is nearly universally reviled among everyone who knows languages other than PHP because the syntax is very inconsistent, among other reasons)
Speed and memory footprint(well-written C for instance is generally faster than just about anything else, while Java is notorious for using lots of memory)

As for C, Java and Python, they're not really similar languages. C is close to the metal language - well-written C is very fast and uses little memory, but writing C well is hard precisely because of that - it doesn't do things for you, so you need to manage memory yourself, for instance. Java on the other hand is very OOP language - everything is inside a class and everything interacts with everything else via interfaces. Corporations tend to like this and it does make large projects somewhat more manageable - every programmer can do their own thing without having to worry too much about what the finished project in its entirety will look like - this also reduces the damage incompetent programmers can do as long as they follow the rules, so to speak. Python is very "easy" language - it has simple syntax and it's fast to write. If you make Hello World in java, it'll be around 5 lines of code or even more - you have to create main class, include System.out.* to print anything, etc. In Python that would be just print("Hello world"). The simplicity means that programs written in Python are comparatively slow, but Python is still good if you only need to write a simple program or are making a prototype. It's also good for learning the basics of programming assuming you're content to treat the CPU as a black box.

>Raid is always the best solution
That is patently wrong. If someone only has the budget for a limited number of drives, they will get far more protection from independent backups. You can set that shit to backup incrementally as often as you need. The primary purpose of a raid 1 type setup is uptime. If you need to keep your shit running straight through a drive dying and rebuilding the array with a new one, it's the way to go. But it sounds like annon will get considerably more real redundancy from setting up a networked backup to one or two independent locations on his network.

I'm looking for either a laptop with very high HDD capacity, or one that's highly expandable.
The ones with over 4 TB storage start at around $3k, but I'm looking for something more in the $1k range with at least 4TB. I don't mind if it's the base prize of an expandable machine and I have to buy extra hard drives.I'd just need it to be able to play 1080p videos at 30FPS tops, the storage is more important. I don't actually need the rest of the $3k hardware.
Do you guys know of laptops that can be upgraded with a lot of HDDs and they're all inside the case and not external? I travel a lot but I also need storage and external hard drives are too inconvenient.
Weight, size, noise, performance several power cables required are not a problem, I want storage above everything. I just don't even know how to search for this. I gave up after the 14th search phrase and no results.

See if the header is connected correctly. Seems like your power button isn't installed in the correct pins.

I guess I'll just trump this up to botnet magic

>encrypted email
That shit is meaningless. Email isn't a standard you can just throw encryption on, except in the form of you personally PGP'ing everything you send, and that get's fucked the first time someone sends you something plaintext.

Depends on your mobo and your power requirements.

Did you check the power button its self and make sure the pins are connected properly?

So if I want a safe email that works with Tor what do I do?

>second router
Can you tl;dr me on how that would work, I'm a networking brainlet
Will that basically make a sub-network on my main network? Would it be annoying to set up properly or will it just werk(tm)?

>powerline vs. ethernet
I already have an ethernet cable there. Was thinking of getting a switch and an access point but if you say router is better then it will obviously replace both of those.

Will having a second router like that impact latency in any non-negligible way?

>>61560243
I don't think my MOBO takes a third cable (GA-AB350-Gaming 3) and I've redone the power button connecters a few times as well as using a screwdriver. The MOBO manual doesn't say where the power button on the board itself it, either.

I travel a lot in areas where I don't even have service for the most part and even where I do, it's slow and expensive. I want offline storage. If being near a decent internet was an option, I wouldn't even bother and just use external HDDs.

qbitorrent worked but I'd rather Deluge work better or get an update soon. Either way problem solved, thanks anon!

Then get any laptop and get a 2.5" 4TB hardrive (they go for about 150$).
Or better yet, get one with an optical drive, remove the drive, slap in the 4TB HDD, have an SSD as the primary for fast booting.

>>61560345
I figured that much, but what's the search term for laptops that have as many slots as possible then? I want to go for as much as possible.
And how do I tell the ones that are costumisable from the ones that are all welded together and can't be expanded?

>>61560281
If you don't care about extending your wireless network at all then a switch would be the simplest solution. Otherwise ethernet plus router is solid. The second router basically gets put in AP mode, which makes it just an extension of the main network, and eliminates latency/nat problems. You use the same wireless settings on both routers, but put the first one on channel 1 and the second one on channel 11. Disable Dhcp/firewall on the second one, and give it an IP ending in 2. Then have the first router's DHCP range start at 3.

Just go with Thinkpad W/T series or HP ElitteBook series.

>>61560461
Thanks, I'll give them a look.

>>61560277
Google emails that are down with tor. What do you even mean by "safe"?

>>61560448
Alright sounds good, thanks for the advice mate

Hey guys I have a question.

Is it worth switching from windows to linux only for the sole reason of locking away myself from vidya?

>>61560659
There are ways to get some vidyas working on Linux as well. Not a guarantee.
Getting a nagging bitchy wife is better.

>>61560659
Doesn't work anymore. Steam has a pretty decent steam library these days.

>>61560659
My GOG library works perfectly on linux.
