/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

Is it possible to encrypt something such that how to decrypt it is publicly known, but no one can tweak it then re-encrypt it without it being identifiable to whoever decrypts it again?

I'm trying to figure out a safe way to distribute updates for a peer-to-peer program over itself.
Due to strange technical limitations, a peer must receive all information for the update from one peer.

I've dabbled in a bit of html and css and want to go further with web dev. I've mainly been using codecademy.
Looking to get into javascript and go from there, should I just keep banging it out with codecademy(get's kinda repetitive) or can /g/ recommend other ways to improve your programming skills?
Also, what would be good projects to work on to keep html and css fresh and improve on those aswell?

What's wrong with my laptop?
The parts screen is sometimes pink toned. It's dynamic, changes as the video changes, or sometimes changes even when it's just the wallpaper.
At first I thought it was cable connection problem because if I move the screen it changes or disappears, but it's behavior is more consistent with gpu problem

ooh, these look enticing, I do like games. Thanks!

>>61637228
You'r welcome, the second one is great because you also have to do projects and such. Sure there is a bit of "setup" time, but overall I found this a very good experience where you get clear goals without have to repeat everything ad infinitum. And since you already did some codeacademy stuff, you can probably skip a lot of stuff too, and move through the curriculum quicker.

Enjoy and have fun anon.

Anyone here got an EEE PC and can recommend a good, small and fast distro to run on it?

Currently using lubuntu on it (EEE PC 901) but it still feels a little bit slow.

Linux noob here, so Arch/Gentoo might be a bit too much for now (I'll save those for later)

I'm trying to open ports so people can connect to me. Used to be a pretty straight-forward process for be; access the router control panel via a browser and open sesame, but my ISP forced me to upgrade my modem to this weird pseudo-router modem which I can connect to via wi-fi, and it has its own gateway at 192.168.0.1. I tried opening them on the modem's gateway but no luck.

Is there any way to fix this?

I'm pretty new to Python and Raspberry/Linux and I'm trying to understand how a piece of code works so I can modify it to make a stepper motor run at the fastest possible speed.

The relevant part is

 # Read wait time from command line
if len(sys.argv)>1:
  WaitTime = int(sys.argv[1])/float(1000)
else:
  WaitTime = 10/float(1000)

The way I understand it it reads a value from console

sys.argv

and then it does something with

sys.argv[1]

which in the end is the value that decides the WaitTime value and thus the rotation speed.
When I run the program from the included IDE the stepper motor runs slow as molases. However, when I use the command line and provide a parameter low enough (like 4) the motor runs super fast, which is what I want.
What I want to do is find out what I can do to hardcode the code so the motor runs at the highest speed, since I don't need to pick a variable speed.
The rest of the code is here
http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/07/stepper-motor-control-in-python/

using a cron script for restarting services like nginx, mysql better than upstart/systemd that exit due to a memory deficiency?

I'm always seeing lines like these in my syslog:

What exactly is happening here? Is there a security risk? Can I disable postfix without disrupting any internal notification stuff?

>>61637332
you can probably disconnect pppoe and set a wan port, then get your own router.

Excuse me if I use the wrong terminology, but are there any programming languages that let you compile you program with just a simple text editor? Similar to how batch files function.

I spent a month learning Java and I don't like compiling using Netbeans.

>>61637612
shodan is crawler that looks for security vulnerabilities, don't worry too much the internet is full of crawlers like google.

>>61637600
I guessing the IDE doesn't allow you to pass arguments so instead uses

WaitTime = 10/float(1000) 

Change that to

WaitTime = 4/float(1000) 

>>61637666
You're looking for an Interpreted language

>>61637688
What's with the rest about messages being send though?
Can I safely disable postfix then? I'm not using it and didn't explicitly install it. If there's no reason to keep it, I'd rather have those ports closed.

>>61637688
I found a way to call the script from another script that will be constantly running monitoring a folder for changes. It accepts parameters so in the end I solved it without fucking around with any code.

I'm really liking Python so far. Everything I could need it's already done and ready to use.

>>61637731
>Can I safely disable postfix then?
Sure, but is probably just running locally and listening on 127.0.0.1 only.

>I'd rather have those ports closed.
Are running some kind of firewall? if not, then by default all your ports are kinda open(and it looks like your network doesn't have a NAT or you're on a DMZ), you can use something like ufw to easily close ports

Do you have a solid retard proof guide to do this? This script constantly runs scanning a folder and does certain actions depending on changes on the files (like edit, delete, open, etc.)

>>61637960
>indicate that someone can connect to it from the outside?
Oh yeah probably, that means all of your ports are exposed, you normally should have a NAT between.

>I was under the impression that there is no risk when there's no service listening on a port.
Thats true but as soon as a service start listening on a port it would be exposed to the internet and that is a security risk.

>>61638050
Is the script executable? is the python route defined?

Try running the script from console like this: ./script.sh

>>61637144
That's just how cryptography work. You have a private key that you use to encrypt your data, and everyone has the public key that he can use to decrypt. Nobody will be able to decrypt something that has not been encrypted with your key, so no-one can change the content of the package. Merely all cryptographic systems works this way. PGP, RSA,...
If you don't worry about encryption, you can just look into signing your data the same way.

>>61638050
Wait i didn't notice that it was the rc.local file.

Once you have the basics and patterns, I would recommande to start a 'real' project. Think of something and make it real, push it on github, someone may use it, keep track of it, or even give you advice or open pull requests so you can learn more.

What smartphone has the best typing experience? Or smartphone + keyboard combo?

I believe some smartphones have a slower screen response time, some has worse accuracy, some maybe even too sensitive.

And what screen size would be optimal for my hands? From the base of my hand to the tip of my middle finger the length is 8,3", and from the same spot to my thumb it's almost 6".

I need to do lots of writing.

Color issues with screens (laptop too) generally is a cable issue. If it toggles when you move the screen, this seems to confirm this. To fix this, it looks like you have no other way than to open your laptop and check the two endings of the cable, I doubt it's on the screen part because it's generally well glued. However, opening your laptop can sometimes be shit to do depending on your model.

Nvidia or amd?

>>61638201
If the data is just signed, and not encrypted, then can't the data be changed without changing the signature?

Also, is there a term for when the focus is on tamper-proofing the data while making it publicly viewable, instead of making it publicly encryptable while viewable to only one person?

Now I opened it up and the thermal paste on the CPU was completely burnt to a crisp, looked like burnt marshmallows, I replaced the thermal paste and did a complete deep clean of the system both on the inside and outside, the temperatures went down, but only by 10-15 degrees, the CPU is still IDLING at 100c+

I do believe the term you're looking for is more like 'signing'. Sure you can temper the data without changing the signature. However, the receiver will be able to see that this is not the correct signature for this data.
Also, when you use https and SSL certificates, everyone knows the public key, and can initiate communication with your server. The client and the server will create their own temporary keys based on your certificates.

Hello /g/

Im a dumbass I just finished building my own ryzen PC

Here are the specs
ASUS-Prime a320m-k
AMD ryzen 5 1400
GTX 1050ti
8GB RAM DDR4 2666MHZ

Im sure i installed everything correctly, but when i try to start my pc there is no video signal on my monitor. I tried DVI and HDMI but no luck.

Yes i plugged the cables into the video card not the motherboard.

Any ideas i'm kinda clueless what to do now...

>>61638664
Could be a lot of things.
Is power supply good enough? Is it connected to MB, CPU, GPU ?
Is your mother board using your video card and not the motherboard output?

>>61638510
Alright, I see how it works now; but one thing I'm uncertain of is, how is the public key determined?
Is it kept related to the sender ID, so that it's impossible to trick someone into using a public key that works for a private key you have?

And if so, is it possible for me to generate a private key based off of a public key?

>>61638664
>Yes i plugged the cables into the video card not the motherboard.
then try the motherboard

do the fans spin up? are there beeping sounds?

>>61638776
The CPU doesnt have an integrated GPU. All the fans spin, the CPU fan, the video card fan and the fan in the case as well

The PSU is probably good enough, its a Seasonic G series 450 watt gold rated. The only thing I can still think of personally is that the mobo is indeed trying to use the onboard gpu that it does not even have...

>>61639417
if you would like to use it more often
save it to a file, lets say all_mp4_to_webm.sh
put it somewhere, usually ~/bin
make the file executable

chmod +x all_mp4_to_webm.sh

and add that bin directory to execution path, so that its content is searched when you start writing in terminal
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26047/how-to-correctly-add-a-path-to-path

then when you want to use it, you just go where you want to go, and call all_mp4_to_webm.sh

Can I get spied on even when using a VPN or is it absolutely impossible?

I've tried blocking his IP in my pfsense firewall but I seem to have set it up wrong.

yes I do. I've replaced the original fan.
>they dont give a flying fuck if they get 20°C or 50°C air through them
If you have IN air of 50 and heavily load the PSU you definitely want to crank the fan since the the components can approach 70 without proper airflow. If it's not under load then 50 IN is fine. Hence why I want to control via load

a balance of theory and practice

boot to single user mode if you need root access to make a fix. hit space or something to get grub prompt, then i think ctrl-e to edit boot line, and add the word 'single', if i recall. (easily googled)

>>61640692
I have no idea what you are talking about. I thought it was somehow connected to the front button, even though didn't make sense either. The button on the back of the case should be a button for the power supply itself. Either you are a very retarded and can't unscrew a simple PSU or the case is super retarded and you are too retarded to figure it out.

Together with all the notification sounds.

>>61640782
Sure. For starters, the only thing the VPN hides is your IP. So they'll still be able to monitor everything you do, including webcam/mic. They can also upload your files or hashes of them. If you use any accounts that cross over with your clearnet identity they can link them to you, which they don't even have to bother with if you're running the VPN off the hardware that has been "hacked".

>>61640848
No, notification volume is not message volume. It's shit like email.

>>61640718
It is at the same position with the case's power button, that's I'm saying. Here is a link to the case, by the way: http://imgur.com/a/3Qelm. In case I wasn't clear enough in my previous post, I'm talking about if I unscrew the object I highlighted in here >>61640362, will the case's power button work after I put in a new PSU?

you switch between "terminals"
on one of them your xorg and interface is running
when you then go to another, you can log in as different user, no interface
it allows to do quickly things as different users, usually root vs regular user
but I could have just told you to write su in to terminal, and then enter root password
stupid me, but if you are on linux tty are useful, so today you learn about them

>>61640885
Why are you showing me a picture of the front of the case? Weren't we talking about the back? I don't know, it is not properly seeable and you don't explain shit.
Usually the button is on the PSU itself and there is no way to remove it without opening the PSU. I have never seen a button that is outside of the PSU and somehow connects to it. Were you so stupid you opened the fucking PSU instead of unscrewing it from the bottom and the back of the case?

>>61641467
i dunno how it is on your disto
but on arch we just uncomment wheel group to be allowed to use sudo
then we add our users to wheel group

seems your distro is similar but the group is sudo
so dont dick with that file, and just add your user to sudo group

>>61641457
You sure? What would that do?

>>61641502
never did it, I gogoled it out
but it should recreat the file
if not you just rename the old file back to its name
should be easy

>>61641426

>>61641498
That is exactly what I did and what gave me this issue. Where 'user' is written now, 'ALL' was written; I replaced 'ALL' with 'user', my username, and that is what created this mess.

>>61641467
Execute "man sudoers" it will give you all the documentation about that file.
What you wanted to do was adding:
user ALL=(ALL) ALL

The first field is for user(or group or regex) selector.

I got an interview test in python. It seems like the tasks are all just one liners using numpy though?

l already did it clumsily in native python, but part of the task is to plot graphs and the plotting library I found requries numpy anyway, so it would be silly not to make use of it.

Also to install the modules I had to install system wide, I couldn't see how to install by importing code into my solution like with C# or C.

This means the interviewer will need a python environment set up and will have to manually install every single little module any of the test takers uses globally on his entire system.

Is this legit? If so how stupid is this language. It's all very weird to me.
Or am I missing something big.

No, add it as a new line DO NOT modify the original lines, that line gives sudo access to all the user on the group sudo (the %sudo selector)

Whenever I am on skype, and my SSD is busy with a file transfer, or download, the skype call gets all fucked up. Also occurs when a game installed on the SSD is loading up.

Its a Sandisk SSD, is this the issue? Would a faster 850 EVO fix this? Or is the only way to have seperate smaller SSDs?

If so what things should I try and keep separate? OS in one SSD? Game on another? Skype on Another?

its the SSD at 100% when it happens, CPU usage never pat 50%, 4790k, and memory never near max (16GB)

Its usually while a game is loading or shifting a folder with many small files that takes some minutes. The skype call gets choppy as fuck and is unusable until the transfer ends.

I'm not sure if this is actual advice...

>>61642165
General stuff like CPUs, NICs, sound cards, USB devices and drives are well supported(there's also ndiswrapper but is not a silver bullet).

Stuff like graphics card are more tricky, intel GPUs are well supported, Nvidia has good propietary drivers but AMD is a PITA to work with(except for mining)

>>61642244
The more bleeding edge(arch, fedora) a distro is the less info you will find on the net, on the other hand the more stable and slow paced distro(debian, centos) have more support but older packages.

>>61642228
>automated scripts

But I did

sudo apt-get install python3-numpy

How would I know what OS they are on.

I can't believe there isn't a way to write python programs and bundle libraries in there too. Virtualenv looks like yet another package to globally install that lets you make custom environments.

Seems like "Freeze" is also almost there, but that turns the entire python runtime including your program into .c files?

>Alright, I see how it works now; but one thing I'm uncertain of is, how is the public key determined?
The public et private keys are generated by the same perso and their security is based on primes numbers. (see RSA Wikipedia page for more info on generation). You have many tools that can give you symmetrical keys as GnuPG. Symmetrical means that the keys can be used to encrypt messages in both ways.

>Is it kept related to the sender ID, so that it's impossible to trick someone into using a public key that works for a private key you have?
It's *not* impossible, but cipher security is not based on impossibility to hack, but on the time it would take to do so. For the key generation (for RSA), you randomly chose two high prime numbers that you will use to mathematically generate you keys. The security is based on the fact there is no algorithm known today to defactorize a number in a two prime number factors, or find every prime numbers. You just have to try every combinations, and that can take a long time. (however not for quantum processors, be aware)
As long as you keep your private key secret, as well as your two original prime numbers, you shall be good.


>And if so, is it possible for me to generate a private key based off of a public key?
With a lot of time only as I said.

Ha there you caught me. I have no idea how this would work, i mean python is an Interpreted language you cannot just compile everything into a binary and send it through mail. You could use freeze to help you recreate the virtualenv on another machine(install all the dependencies of your code).

Can someone explain to me why this:

for (size_t i = 0, ilen = things.size(); i < ilen; ++i)
{ /**/ }

is faster than this:

for (size_t i = 0; i < things.size(); ++i)
{ /**/ }

You asked if it safe to install windows 10. Safe for what? For your confidentiality, sure not. For you dual boot? Microsoft has fixed some issue, but cases it erases Linux partitions are always occurring, with definitely not. For your Windows system? Windows does not track installation of updates and their content, and cannot reverse the process properly if something breaks. Also it's seen that Windows update process is never safe on this point.
There you have you answer, and I admitted you shouldn't, and why I disable all updates on my Windows machines.

>>61642813
you're not calling things.size() on every loop in the first one whereas you are in the second one

Whatever you want it to be. That can get you fame, money, or pride. For example I worked on an android application using a database. So I spent some time creating a Web app just to fill my database. Because I could learn from it.

That's what I don't understand. I've not used python before and they're asking for python code as a task.

In C# I'd just nuget package install, then at your destination you restore packages and it gets dlls targetting your environment (it either builds them from code or downloads them I guess)

And nuget installs to your solution so it doesn't affect other C# soltuions you have. Installing globally is madness. Really don't get it

Hello,
I wanted to change the terminal colors on my raspberry. Currently using it without X installed.
I tried to use this, just for simplicity:
https://github.com/Mayccoll/Gogh
and when I execute it it always says 'gconftool: command not found'
Is this because I have no X installed? (works perfectly fine on my desktop)

I am interested of increasing my privacy online, but I have been using botnet stuff for years. I also use Twitter, Twitch and YouTube quite often. Do I need to stop using these services? Am I still able to protect myself despite being part of botnet?

>>61643226
that tool is for modifying gnome-terminal's colours
you're not using X, letalone gnome, so you're probably using the VT, not gnome-terminal

>>61643370

>>61643384
np, you can change the colours of the VT as well, to an extent

Weird problem.

I just discovered that the Downloads directory on my openSuse Tumbleweed system suddenly disappear.

Nothing was in there, but I'm still curious how it might have happened.

The only thing I can think of which happened would be deleting a torrent in qBittorrent (checking off to delete local content as well), but that has never resulted in the deletion of the Downloads directory before.

What do you think, /g/?

By using of you mean posting or reading/watching?

Do you want them to just don't know what other sites you visit or not know it is you who is visiting?

Just use privacy mode and adblock to block their widgets in other sites for the first. And Tor for the second.

Also try alternatives that claim to protect your privacy from themselves.

Micro usb is such garbage, but is usb-c any better (at not being fragile shit that rapidly loses functionality after a year or two of use)?

Also will cheaper tablets ever use usb-c over micro usb? I've owned two samsung tablets and my second was unfortunately still micro usb two yrs ago (Tab E). Really wanted away from micro usb, sorry for the messy post.

>>61643607
I wouldn't do that, some games are shit and can only go fullscreen on your primary monitor.

Seem to have a stutter or a skip whenever I'm doing something, recently changed all components to fix it but that didn't work. Factory restore worked but the problem seems to have come back. Any ideas?

>>61643758
probably eventually, for cheap stuff there's a stronger focus on part prices and availability, rather than a focus on what is new and fancy
once usb-c connectors and cables become more available and cheaper, they'll move to it, and i don't see any reason why that won't become the case, as i don't believe there is any reason why usb-c can't completely replace micro-b

>>61643836
>recently changed all components
so you got a new computer and you still have the issue?

what did you keep the same?

>>61643752
Then confirm hash matches the one in that pastebin and try again. It is very unusual for daz to not work on the right setup.

>>61643769
oh right i forgot about that

>>61643886
Cheers. Thank you so much for the reply even though I got a bit rambly at the end and throughout.

The saddest thing to me is when a tablet (and I'm sure it happens to phones, too) slowly stop being able to charge/ transfer data without angling the cord a specific way. Then it can't, so your battery goes to 0% and can't boot anymore from being 0% so long.

I've only owned two tablets, both of which were samsung, since samsung's been good to me besides the software side of android not giving you much freedom. I think they'd need to release a new generation or cheaper tablets to move from micro usb to usb-c, though. Hope they do.

i personally have not had micro-b cables and connectors wear out on me, and i don't yet own anything that uses usb-c

>>61644101
i'm not* sure
gotta love small mistakes which reverse what you intended to say

>>61644055
try to rule those out too, they can certainly cause the issues you described

i'd start with SMART for the ssd and just unplugging each peripheral one by one

i had a similar issue caused by an usb device

Most likely the janky custom disk. Who knows what updates/configs/malware are thrown in there. Definitely no way to verify. I've never had an issue with the standard windows iso.

Chromium is the mostly open sauce offering from google. Still reports a shitton to google. Opera was ok but bought out by a Chinese company like a year ago.

If ~/bin exists, pretty much every distro adds it to $PATH.

something like

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

in .profile means you just need to make the directory then log out / in, or run source .profile

One of my HDD is on the verge of dying. I moved all important stuff to my newly bought HDD. What can I do to make it last longer? Will full CHKDSK scan or the long format do anything?

http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-850-Evo-500GB-vs-SanDisk-Ultra-II-960GB/3477vs3582

is the extra speed of the 850 evo real? as in I will notice or is it insignificant really?

I dont really need the space of 1TB SSD but maybe I will down the line, the sandisk has better value space/$..

Should i get the 850 evo then a 2nd one if I need the space? Or just the sandisk now?

>>61645521
The problem here is not only the speed but the NAND used.

850 EVO uses 3D NAND which is its mayor selling point, Sandisk makes average SSDs.
850 EVO is the gold standard when it comes to SATA SSDs, Ultra ll has moderate failure rate.

>>61645647
>>61645521
Also it is way faster since 850 EVO doesnt use the SLC cache hack to get proper speeds that wont flop.
Ultra ll speeds flop after seconds of being in stress.

If you open you're terminal and press ctrl+x+e, a terminal based (your default) editor should open, allowing you to paste (and also edit) multiple lines of code. When you save & exit, the code will run.
It's writing a /tmp/(xxx)fc(xxxx) file and executing it.
Similar to fc shell builtin.

ubuntu has root login disabled by default.
use sudo -i or sudo -s for root privileges.
(sudo -s will preserve more of your normal user env, like $HOME and your aliases etc.
If you sudo -s you can also su root from there.
You can enable root logins on ubuntu by giving root a password, but I forget the exact commands. Google probably remembers them. And ubuntu forums says it's a bad idea anyway.
