Thanks to the anons who replied about RAID/backups.

What's the best option for a networked backup solution? Also, won't 16TBs require at least that much to back up, or will backup programs significantly compress things?

How is this for commenting?

class Vector {
    private:
    //Each vector has, at least, an X and Y value. 
    float x, y, z;
    
    public:
    //Default Constructor
    Vector() {x = 0; y = 0; z = 0;}
    //Standard 3D constructor
    Vector(float xP, float yP, float zP);
    //Standard 2D constructor
    Vector(float xP, float yP);
    
    //Return the vector as a string
    string getVector();
    //Multiply each vector component by the given float value.
    Vector operator*(float multiplier);
};

Anything to improve? What are some fundamental things to know when professionally commenting code?

I'm using rsync for backups. You just mount the destination and do:
rsync -ahAEHX --delete --info=progress2 source destination.

>>61560379
I'd add a space between // and first character.
Also, if you ever plan to use Doxygen, you might want to make thje comments Doxygen-friendly.

Are there any new ways to get rid of the "windows not genuine" message that I don't know about?

I used to type "SLMGR -REARM" but now it says i've run out of rearm attempts. So you can go into HKEY and change the rearm value back to "1" but that's not working for me.

>>61560379
It's too excessive - it makes it hard to find comments that are actually worth reading.
Also something like "Return the vector as a string", is worthless imo. Anyone can see that from the function signature, but what you'd probably like to know is what kind of formatting it uses.

>>61560443

Can I use daz on an already running OS or do I have to run the daz loader when installing a new OS?

>>61560465
You don't have to reinstall.

>>61560465
There isn't even any way to do it during installation. But what you use depends on which windows it is.

Repostan

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. I feel like there might be something wrong with my settings but I don't know.

>>61560582
I wouldn't bother reinstalling for ultimate. Practically speaking it makes almost no difference.

I installed daz loader, restarted my computer and it's still not genuine. Also the thread I downloaded the loader from is 8 years old, i assume windows found a workaround to the patch.

>>61560818
Nope. And version is 2.2.2.2

But if your system is set up as UEFI that might be a problem.

what's the difference between adding and committing in git?

Reposting because no answers.
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?

Does these pins look bent enough to cause a POST failure? It's an LGA2011 mobo with dual sockets, this being the primary one (the only socket which can run alone with the other unused).

Tried two independantly tested PSU's and three types of RAM all pulled from working systems and listed as compatible by the mobo manufacturer (intel).

Still no POST, system randomly restarts after power on attempts. Can't test the CPU's alone due to lack of equipment.

Seems to me that thw culprit must be the mobo, but returning it and sourcing a new dual 2011 EATX mobo would take too long for the project. I've never attempted to fix pins on a PGA before, so I want to make damn sure that's the most likely culprit before I give it a shot.

>>61561051
It clearly does.

Windows uses 4 different partitions when using a UEFI boot

>>61561056
You killed it, Jim

>>61561032
Find XDA page for your model.

>>61561056
EDIT: This is a used mobo that arrived with the pins in this condition, so I don't know whether or not it has ever worked in its current state

>>61561058
Nevertheless, he should right click -> properties -> volumes tab, and see what partition: says.

It's also not on XDA. I'm not exactly surprised. Hell, I can't even find the stock proprietary ROM it uses.
The thing is fucked then? Is there no way to mock the SD in place of the dead storage?

>>61560232
Quick question. Studying for CCNA. I want to be able to connect to my router using TELNET, SSH, or Serial to configure via PuTTY. However, I just have a cheap home router, Cisco RV130W, which does not have a console port. Is it possible to just do this using a standard ethernet cable CAT6 with an RJ45 head directly into the routing port? Or will I have to invest in a more enterprise level router to have a console port to connect directly through Serial?

All help is appreciated in advance, thanks.

In C++, how can I make a string of floats of the form:

(x.xx, y.yy, z.zz)

?
Floats can't be implicitly converted to strings it seems and toString() kept all the trailing 0s.

>>61561678
Not sure about the C++ way to do it, but you could always use sprintf.

>>61561623
You may be able to telnet or SSH into it, but it's not running IOS, so not very relevant to what CCNA wants you to learn.

>>61561525
They are paying for both of them. Well at least the first 2 attempts.

>>61561595
Probably not. That's a weird problem. If an internal storage partition was legit missing, I would expect the device to not boot up at all. But if you can't find a way of making it reappear, I can't see how you'd get anything else to take its place. Most solutions for moving shit to external storage involve mapping it to folders on the existing internal storage via symlinks. Wouldn't help you much if there's nothing to map it to. Maybe dig around on google and see if anyone's encountered this problem before.

I just wanted to confirm there wasn't an alternate option. Thank you very much.

Is there a way to automatically backup files like Windows 10 file history from one drive in a pc to another drive in the pc without using Raid?
One drive is an ssd and the other is an hdd so raid wouldn't be optimal from what I understand.

Is unRaid completely independent from traditional RAID solutions like 5, 6, 10, etc. or do you typically use them together? I'm looking into building a NAS but I'm a little unsure as to what unRaid's role is.

Got a pirated version of windows 8.1. Wanna buy just the license to activate it, not the software because I dont wanna do a clean install. How do i do that folks

if I need to update my rooted phone do I need to unroot it first and then re root it after?

>>61561723
That's the thing, I was just as confused when it happened.
For one, it was out of nowhere, apps that were on that storage (which acted as SD storage, so apps could be moved there) started crashing. Next thing I know is I reboot to see if it's fixed and now the whole partition is gone, just like that.
For two, it appears the main storage is still functional. That's it, just the one storage, the main one. I have no idea if that's where the OS is, but I imagine it has to since it wouldn't even boot otherwise like you said.
My only theory is the thing has two storage chips inside, and the secondary one, the one acting as the "big" storage for apps and whatnot, got fried.
I thought if that was dead then I could just replace it with an SD card. It makes sense, no?
Now what's left where the vanished storage used to show up in the settings menu is a Mount SD Card, which strangely enough isn't greyed out, as if the slot was being used, but the button does nothing anyway.
Apparently not, because despite having the SD slotted in, it doesn't let me access the gallery or the camera, and I can't move apps to it. It's like the SD only works to have raw files, and nothing else.
It's a really specific problem, and I've only found one or two topics in some bumfuck forums that say to "reformat the SD", or "make a factory wipe", or "reflash the device with the stock ROM it has". You can imagine I'm shit outta luck there.
What's pissing me off the most is not being able to download big apps to it even with the SD in it, it even has the audacity to go "Can't download app, insufficient storage available. Slot an SD card and try again", right there when the goddamned SD is in it.
Hell, some of them would even fit in the remaining functioning storage, but it doesn't like saving things there apparently. For big apps, it needs the dead "external" storage, and it can't be from an SD.

UnRAID is an OS that includes software file based redundancy similar to RAID 3. You can run it on top of hardware traditional RAID implementations for better performance, but it's not really recommended for most uses.

If you want more functionality, plug in a real computer, use a hard drive attached to that.

What happens if I plug too many computers, space heaters, and refrigerators into the same wall outlet?

>>61562264
It probably doesn't have enough power to run the drive. If the drive doesn;t have its own power cord you might have to run it through a powered hub. But attaching it directly to the tv is a shit solution in general. The player wont be great and a lot of filetypes wont be supported. Get some kind of a kodi box or streaming stick, or connect up a laptop or something.

Hey, a relative gave me a smartphone which appears to be a Samsung Gaxy S (GT-I9000). What's the most FREE/Autistic thing I an flash to this while still having access to Google stuff like Viber?

>>61562213
Android has a system storage which remains 100% untouched except when you're flashing full system updates, and then the internal storage where everything else goes. I think your system storage is working like normal but you can't store anything because internal is gone. It was a major overhaul that made it possible for SD cards to replace internal storage in later versions, so if your internal chip is fried and you can't update I think your tab is probably perma-gimped

How intensive is it? Gonna be using it on my toaster laptop.

My 2 drive synology is kicking the bucket I think..

I have a bunch of drives I dont want to toss out, considering building my own NAS this time instead of buying another synology.

I figure I can have it double as a HTPC. Anyways, its hard to find mobos that dont break the bank with 8+ Sata connections, should I bother with that?

Or Should I get a couple of these?
https://www.amazon.com/Mediasonic-ProBox-HF2-SU3S2-SATA-Enclosure/dp/B003X26VV4/

If I run the drives in software RAID 1 pairs, recovery should be easy in case the NAS itself dies, right?

How badly will the USB 3.0 enclosure gimp performance vs SATA for video playback and regular data transfer application?

It has openCandy, but so does everything these days. Run the installer offline and you don't even have to uncheck shit during install. Very light. Installs two programs, one for manual jobs and the other for real time.

>>61562555
No, unless it's a retail license.

>>61562544
Easy solution for more SATA on a cheap motherboard is just add a PCIe SATA or SAS card.

USB 3.0 is fine too, it's faster than your network, so makes no difference for NAS use.

>>61562555
Legally, if it's a retail license, yes, if it's an OEM license no. OEM license can usually be reused anyway if you do activation by phone and say you just swapped the motherboard.

Getting random internet traffic spikes. Been observing the task manager's network traffic graph for a while (inb4 "winblows," etc) and sometimes it just spikes up to 7 to 11mb/s, coming from only about 100kb/s.

It's making it hard to play muh gaymez because of sudden stalls.

I haven't installed anything dodgy or even downloaded anything recently, and I have common sense. Already scanned with Malwarebytes and nothing came up.

What could be causing this?

Are there VPSs designed and priced for things like long term backups of small stuff? I'd love to find something cheap to backup maybe 500MB-1GB of small files, things like KeePass databases, a few text files of various notes, lists of my extra game keys I haven't given away, my tax papers, things like that. High uptime, low cost, storage, bandwidth, and CPU.

>>61562605
cool, and as long as its software raid, recovery should be simple?

I was considering raid 5 for 4 disks but then just figured recovery might be a pain in the ass depending what the scenario is

also, I'm used to having an LED for each drive from the synology..

whats the best non-retard way to figure which drive is which? Other than ghetto method (write data to the disk and feel for vibration)..

say 3 years from now I see drive X has failed in the system, but I don't remember which physical drive that is

anyone use 'image-expanding on hover' software (add-ons or whatever that'll let you see an image 'blown up'/expanded when you hover (like in 4chan) over it) (for firefox) that they'd recommend?
also, the same for videos (so it plays a video thats in a hyperlink or that youd have to click through to another page to watch it) and/or hyperlinks in general (gives a view of the page the hyperlink leads to)

I read I should use mdadm w/ linux, I haven't decided the distro. I've never done this manually before, I had synology hold my hands before.

Considering possibly even just getting an intel NUC, though idk how well they hold up to 24/7 standby... when I'm not using it as a HTPC it would just be a webdav server for my calendar, and syncing documents across PCs

Building a nas is easy, just make sure whatever case you get has plenty of spare bays for hdds. or plenty of USB 3 ports for external hdds. You probably know this but raid is NOT a backup solution, have backups of all your data in addition to the raid. Also investing in a UPS would be a good idea.

Resize the image, or set the lower size in camera. Both will generally look worse than using the full camera resolution and letting whatever software you're using to view the images do the resizing.

Using Redmi Note 4 and I can't do it in default app.
Before I was using BenQ F5 and it let me change the resolution (which gave way better results).
2MP cameras when? The big numbers are only good for marketing. Who needs bigger resolution than full HD anyway?

>>61563055
Use a different camera app.

Lower physical camera resolution is only useful when it's reducing dead area, 2MP is far below the sweet spot even on tiny ass cellphone cameras. Higher resolution physical camera and using fancy noise reduction and downscaling algorithms is more effective.

>>61562797
You would have to buy a different camera that had bigger individual light sensors to begin with. Nothing you do is going to increase the amount of light an individual sensor receives. Your camera was gimped so that they could slap a higher megapixel label on it. You can try improving the lighting in the room, or see if you can clean it up in photoshop.

>>61563124
>Use a different camera app.
They are all shit though.
>>61563128
It worked great on BenQ though.

>>61562581
Cool, thanks. Bookmarking this wiki for the future.

>>61563160
Open Camera works fine for me.

The Redmi Note 4 has same resolution and considerably bigger pixels than the F5 did.

>>61561378
>>61562829
Install LineageOS with no gapps, use only F-Droid. Probably you won't need Xposed, already comes with many security features.

You'll see the change.

>>61563160
Whatever the benq pulled off didn't involve increasing the light to individual pixels. Unless there's some weird shit like a whole second camera in there.

>>61563195

No resolution options, no shutter speed control.
It's shit.

I've had this NAS, Zxyel NSA320S for several years now. I'd like to expand the storage to two 10TB drives in Raid 1. However the official support docs (which are old & not updated) list only the WD Red 6TB as highest supported (so 12TB total) Can this NAS take 10TB drives? I really don't want to fuck up/waste a perfectly good nas device.

>>61563274
>No resolution options
scratch that

>>61563274
It does have resolution.

Shutter speed options are only available if your phone includes it in the standard API, a lot of phones don't.

There is a coffee shop down the street from my apartments. I live in the third floor, but I don't exactly have a direct line of sight to the coffee shop (if I were to look directly at it there would be trees and a few other apartment rooms in the way) but what i want to know is, is there a way that I can mooch off the shop wifi from my home?

Tough call on the games. You'll have to look at their requirements. Even with the intensive 3D category there's a huge variance. Almost everything will work well on a good 2013 model. Something with a good snapdragon 600 or better.

>>61563356
Shouldn't matter.

Probably the increased resolution made the flaws more glaring. Or the filters it applies automatically aren't implemented as well at full rez. If you can find a way to output the raw image data without filters you can do a more direct comparison.

Officially no. You can make it work, but it's a bit annoying, you need to patch your win 7 installer to add the USB 3.0 drivers, you get windows updates blocked unless you work around it with a bit of a hack, you get no integrated graphics drivers.

I'd like to barge in for a second. What you're calling Linux, is in fact, Gahnoo/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU + Linux. Linux is not an operating setup by itself, but in reality another free piece of a entirely functioning setup turned practical by the GNU core libraries, term utilities and necessary setup components completing a whole operating setup.

Quite a few computer holders operate a changed edition of the setup daily, without knowing. Through a strange turn of events, the edition of GNU which is widely utilized now is often called "Linux", and a substantial number of its holders do not know that it is practically the GNU setup.

There is in fact a Linux, and this population are indeed using it, but it is a part of the setup . Linux is the base, the part of the setup that sends the machine's services to the different sections of the machine. The base is a necessary part of an operating setup, but cannot work on its own; it can only function in the shadow of a fully developed operating setup. Linux is normally utilized in combination and the GNU operating setup, the entire setup is practically an operating setup and Linux added, or GNU/Linux. Every one of the alleged "Linux" developers are developers of GNU/Linux.

iPhone 6 wifi occasionally goes gray after idle, but it continue working if I'm constantly using it (to recover I usually have to reboot the device once or twice). Is this a hardware fix or is something wrong with my settings? The phone's out of warranty, am I fucked? Or should I try a private repair shop?

When I create a sharable link for a file on Google Drive, is my personal account tied to that link in any way?

Yesterday I asked about how to recover lost files from an internal partition on an android phone, one anon recommended to dd the partition and netcat it to my computer and then photorec it. I did that following an xda guide, the guide mentioned naming the output image whatever.raw

My question is, is the .raw file extension the same as .dd ? Can I just rename my .raw to .dd or whatever photorec asks to and hope it works? Because the xda guide mentioned converting the .raw image file to a .vhd although it seems unnecessary to me if photorec can access it directly. Afaik what dd did was basically a byte per byte copy of it

One thing I notice with all of my games is that all of them pause briefly before loading new areas or voice dialog. The gameplay will stop for a full second, load what needs to be loaded, then continue. This occurs in basically all games, as well as emulators.

What is the cause of this? Pic related is my Speccy.

if i updated my bios and suddenly virtualization refuses ti turn on should i roll it back or update to the now newest bios?

I've been using Bluestacks recently.
There's a certain game that I like to play, but here's the thing. Sometimes, the image freezes. The game keeps running, the sound keeps playing, but the image itself stops refreshing.
It happens at complete random, I have no idea why it happens in the first place, and to make it even more inexplicable, it doesn't always happen.
Sometimes I can go an entire day where it doesn't do it at all, sometimes it does it but gets fixed after changing the render type from OpenGL to DirectX and then back, sometimes it does it regardless of restarts or attempted solutions, and sometimes it still does it after a full reboot of my PC.
I already sent a support request to see if they even get back.

Anyone experienced something similar to this?

I've actually had to reinstall both Bluestacks or the game a couple times because the freezing gets so constant and bad there's just about nothing else I can do.
That does remedy it for some time, but it eventually starts happening again, no exception.
How's Nox? Is it similar in performance? Does it support keyboard binding layouts to control touches and swipes on the screen?

>>61567815
Forgot how nox is like but it's pretty similar I'm pretty sure you can map layouts and stuff, I've never used but I'm sure I've seen the option to do so.

How do I set up my own SIP Trunk?

I've made some dumb mistakes with hex math and even with practice I'm not getting this one.
Two's comp, 8 bits:
Find c = a-b, if a=0xc0 and b=0x40.
Why is the answer 0x80?

0xc0 = 1100 0000
flip bits, add 1:
0100 0000 -> 4 0
so 0xc0 = - 4 0 base 16

So would it be -40base16 minus 40base16?

I get that C - 4 = 8 but if it's set at 8 bits and the leftmost bit is 1, that means C0 is negative, right?

If I thought the game wasn't gonna be good I wouldn't preorder it obviously...

Also almost all games I buy physical are weeb stuff so the game has already been released in another language for months or longer, not as much chance of that kind of shenanigan being pulled.

Well looking that your motherboard is giving you problems to even POST you should have no problems with RMA, you could ask them for a refund and tell them you will buy another motherboard from them.
If you used Amazon it will be easier.
Remember to clean the old paste of the CPU if you change it.

But your current motherboard should work, you must have done something wrong while building it if the GPU turns on but the rest doesn't.

>>61563326

I'm past RMA time so I'll just lose the money. The GPU doesn't turn on, just the light that shows the power cables are plugged into it.

>>61569433
Could you post a picture of your case?

>I'm past RMA time so I'll just lose the money.
Really? for how much time you had the motherboard? usually RMA time limit is 1 month, then 1 year for defects.

I have a laptop that was dropped by my mother while being a retard in the airport. The screen was damaged in the fall but was replaced. It now BSOD loops when booting into Windows (7). A fresh 7 install is stable but installing the onboard graphics drivers causes the BSOD loop to return.

- Is the onboard graphics chip toast and I should just write the laptop off?
- Is there another possible explanation?
- Should I trade this in to Best Buy and if so should I worry about them giving me shit later?

>>61569481
Did you connect the F_Panel cables correctly?
Most cases come with a small speaker, connect it, it will make a sound based in what is wrong.

>>61569483
Boot into Linux and check for stability problems.
Just use Linux Mint if you dont know what use.

>>61569490
I even tried the method where you connect the power pins with a screwdriver, nothing. There are 4 LEDs that are supposed to come on when you turn on the PSU, they don't come on, which makes me doubt the speaker will get any power.

>>61569505
As long the 24 pin cable is connected it will.

Yes, that is what POST is for, still you need a speaker connected to the motherboard F_Panel (Not the 3.5mm slot).

Pls respond. I don't know what I was thinking putting this game up.

My pc was having a boot loop problem some time. So i decided to unplug and replug the ram into another slot.
Since then mu pc has been working fine for last 2 months. I've started putting my pc to sleep instead of turning it off now and what i've noticed sometime is that it sound like its does one boot loop/fail then starts up fine. I just ignored it thinking maybe I just didn't notice it before.
Now this morning i woke my computer from sleep and it started a boot loop for like a minute or 2. I switched it off because I had to go to work.
Any idea what could be going on? I'll try replugging the ram again or reseting my motherboard but I think one of my components could be failing. My ram is my newest thing really. Like 1-2 years old so i dont think it's that

After trying many languages i think i want to improve my knowledge of C# and C++.
What sources would you recommend?
learncpp.com is very good, but i'm looking for something more advanced, that explains how to take advantages of the features provided by the standard library (or the C# framework).
Also i'd like to be able to effectively organize the codebase of a multiplatform application.

What did you use to git gud?
Both books and websites are fine, i don't mind paying if you think it's worth it.
I found a book, "the c++ programming language" by the creator of c++, is that enough to gain a deep (theoretical) knowledge of the language?
