Why does my windows guest under proxmox show the real RAM usage thanks to virtio, but fails to free RAM to the host system? since if I htop I see constantly the full max RAM being reserved.

Does Windows (10, if the version matters) remember/store previously connected devices' names or other information about them, like mice, monitors, keyboards, TVs, etc.?

I know that it happens with USB flash drives, but what about devices like those that I listed?

I'm looking for a mouse with a nice scroll wheel that doesn't loosen up over time.

Every mouse I've ever bought (2 intellimouse, Logitech MX 518, and Corsair M60) have all had mouse wheels that start out nice and clicky, so when I'm playing vidya, I can scroll wheel weapons and stuff. Then after a couple months, they get looser, and looser, until it's basically scrolling with zero resistance. Meaning when I'm playing a game, it'll occasionally scroll and get me killed. It'll also of course scroll web pages when I don't want it to.

What's weird is I think I'm the only one with this problem. My mice work fine otherwise. The first to get is always the wheel, which is a massive shame. I don't death grip it, and it's not overly dusty in my room. So idk.

Okay, so I never owned a good LCD monitor. I had a SyncMaster CRT, then I switched to whatever piece of shit is installed in my Samsung laptop. The thing is, I'm building a PC, and I wanted a good monitor for gaming. 144Hz etc. Tried one of those AHVA-IPS ones, didn't like the IPS glow. I'm planning to exchange it for a TN, however the TN reviews I read mention the colors being washed out at the far edges. Which is essentially the same problem I had with the IPS, namely stuff just isn't looking as good at edges/corners as it was in the center.

Is it just a TN thing? Is there no (affordable, no more than $700pls) HD monitor that will be as uniform at the edges as it is in the middle?

I've even looked into VA 1440p ultra-wides but they suffer from flickering and ghosting.

>>61718443
VA is the best for contrast, IPS is best for angle/edge consistency, TN is best for response times. Can't have all three.

>>61718856
>edge consistency
But that's the thing, IPS (well, AHVA since we're talking about 144Hz monitors) has that silvery glow in the corners. It's the entire reason I wanted to switch my for TN, to have better edge consistency, since I don't really care about viewing angles. Should I just stick with the IPS then, since I won't get better edge consistency with TN? What the fuck, why are monitors so shit.

I've looked at some VA monitors but they mostly don't have amazing refresh rates. Looked at an ultrawide cloked at 100Hz but people reported an incredible amount of various issues with it. Wanted to have an ultrawide for some time but doesn't seem worth it when they flicker and have mad ghosting.

TN is generally worse than IPS for top/bottom edge glow (and has noticeable colour shift), but better for left/right edge.

Pick your poison really.

>>61718972
Go in to the proxy settings of the browser you want to use the vpn on and set them accordingly

Then adjust your fstab and /etc/udev/rules.d/*persistent-net.rules if present. Then update initramfs to pick up your fstab changes and install grub on the new drive.

On linux, you can create a netns to run the vpn + browser + whatever else you want to use the vpn.

That's prebuilt money. There's a point under which you can't build a better computer than, say, Lenovo or Dell can sell you during some firesale. That point is right around $400.

Graduating next semester as a computer engineer
Should I take a linear algebra course? It'd be instead of a semiconductor fabrication course but I honestly have zero interest in that.

I bought a used Thinkpad and took it apart to clean out eight years worth of dust. However, compressed air doesn't seem to be doing anything to the fan. I've tried every angle and no dust is coming off at all, and this thing is filthy. I used a coffee filter wrapped around a q-tip to get some of it off, but it is still pretty dirty.

I guess I'm just asking how to actually clean a laptop fan.

fresh pc do i update chipset drivers?

>>61720591
Yeah, linear algebra would be more useful in industry than semi stuff if you ever get into doing control systems and whatnot. It is fun making your own solar cell but I dunno how you would get into the semicunductor industry unless you went through academia. Oh, and the semiconductor course that I did was mostly memorizing dozens of equations on electron flow and and shit. Really specific to that industry.

>>61721548
Yeah, the cheap ones don't have good battery backup though. Mine only lasts about 5 minutes so it's really just a warning to save your shit and shut down, or to keep your shit running when the power flashes.

Sure there are. Some Supermicro Atom 1Us and various appliances and such that are 1U... Probably some audio mixers and stuff too.

>>61721548
If you don't care that you'll only have a minute or two of power when you get an outage, you're fine. Proper UPS's that'll last an hour are the size of a small tower.

All you really need though is a surge protector for saving your electronicals.

>>61721613
Yeah, mine is 450 VA with a 750w PSU, 1070 + 4 hdds, and the longest I've waited is 2 minutes. Unless you have a thesis paper with a ton of unsaved shit open you will have plenty of time to do so.

>good to know. does yours have the USB cable that connects as a peripheral to your computer to send a shutdown signal? I'm kinda skeptical about how well that is going to work autonomously.
Nope, mine cost $40 usd and is pretty bare bones. When I'm not running a game, all my peripherals consume around 150w (goes up a lot under load). tb.h, I wouldn't want that feature anyway, since i'm skeptical I'd be able to save things that are open and unsaved, and the high end UPSes let you work for another hour or two, or three, anyway.

Let me explain it like a wizard teaching magic.
You want to learn magic? What do you want to use magic for? What kinds of spells would you like to know? Are you sure you're interested enough to invest time and effort into learning the more difficult magics? Okay, once you've figured that out come back and I'll have you read some basic spell scrolls. No complicated incantations until you can show me you can start a fire or make objects levitate.

>>61722503
Depends how the switch is implemented, some will appear to the PC like it's being plugged and unplugged, some will appear like it's always plugged in.

It is kind of possible to disable monitor detection at the driver level if behaving as if it's always plugged in is required.

>You want to learn magic?
Yes
>What do you want to use magic for?
Basically I wanna be able to make a program to automate my calculations.
I'm a engineerfag and in a class I needed to use a program and did not know how to do it.

Example: I have a port crane and I'm wanting to calculate the traction and compression at certain angles.
Basically I had to make a program that had all the formulas and asked the user to enter only the weight of the load, after that the program calculate the traction and compression.
My friend help me and wrote this program in C, I was able to understand logic and structure, so by researching I've seen people saying that python is as simple and functional as C, so I decided to learn python.

>What kinds of spells would you like to know?

Make programs to help me in the work/class, be able to understand what's happening in my pc, be able to talk with the "IT guy" about a project...

>Are you sure you're interested enough to invest time and effort into learning the more difficult magics?

Of course, more than a simple interest, it's a necessity. After that I wanna learn other languages and expand my knowledge.

I can show you a hammer and tell you what it does but until you smack some nails down yourself you won't fully grasp and appreciate its intended purpose. The best way to learn programming is to DO programming. Figure it out by trial and error and never be afraid of writing ugly code as long as it's functional in the end. You can refine things later as you gain a deeper understanding of it all. You're learning the ABCs again, don't feel bad if you can't immediately write War and Peace.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the cartridge as far as traces and solder goes... Try using contact cleaner on the pins that plug in, or even using a coin and gently scraping some of the buildup might result in it working again.

>>61723333
well there are not many components, as long as all the contacts are still soldered on right it must be a dead chip :(

refresh your chrome install.

- make back ups of your userscripts, adblock/ublock settings, stylish themes,RES, etc.

- go to "C:\Users\(your name here)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

and delete the folder that says default.

>>61723391
That's what I figured. At least the cartridge itself is in mint condition, so I think I'll buy another cartridge that's beat up but working and put that PCB in my good looking cartridge.

>>61723398

That should just be a decoupling cap, it wouldn't be a show-stopper.

>>61723398
That's just a cap to ground for some pin. And if it had just fell off surely there would still be some solder mess there.

pic related is what im currently running.
For about a week ive been having an issue with the suspend on ubuntu (via closing the lid) where whenever i open it instead of giving me the login screen like it supposed to it just shows the last thing that was on the screen. everything is frozen so i am unable to click anything or scroll and no shortcuts work however i can still move the curser. the only thing that actually works in doing ctrl+alt+f1-6 to go into the command line and it lets me type in my login there but once i do alt+f7 to go back to the gui the screen is still frozen how it was before. The only way i am able to unfreeze my machine is to hard reboot it. i honestly have no idea how to fix this ive googled the question but i cant seem to find anyone else having this issue.

Well if you can go to a tty then you can check the logs and actually have something more useful than "thing doesn't work" to search for. On my system that would be /var/log/{Xorg.0.log,syslog,pm-suspend.log} but it might be different for you if you are using systemd

my ISP filters HTTP traffic from my home server.

Is there a service that I can use that will act as a proxy on a different port?

I want something that I can change DNS entries to so that a client connects to this other server on port 80, and that server forwards it to me on lets say port 60000 so that it evades my ISP's filtering.

Any ideas?

Windows insists the drive is 0% fragmented and that it was defragged automatically 2 days ago. Got it trying anyway without any effect.

On a whim I uninstalled avisynth (since it was the most recent install I could remember before the icon appeared, + was media related.) and restarted explorer.exe, which appears to have swapped the icon back to the Windows Movie Maker one. With hindsight I should probably have restarted explorer first to see if that had any impact, but whatever. One of those two made it go away.

I want to make a custom ESXi ISO. I've tried the esxi customizer
and I've added the vib file for my NIC but on install I still get "nfs41 client failed to load". ESXi version is 6.5 and my NIC is atheros 8151.
Any suggestions so I can make this work?

My problem in a nutshell is that i got a fuckton of BSOD's and freezes/lockups and now my HDD won't start anymore at all (BSOD every time after win7 startup bar vanishes saying i need to run chkdsk /f) so i took the disk out and connected it to my laptop, however it all shows as unallocated space now with assigned drive letter F: and 0 bytes free

I already tried Easeus data recovery and easeus partition master but both of these seemed pretty useless

All of my important shit is on that disk. Am i SOL here? How the fuck do i get NTFS back so i can run chkdsk afterwards?`

>>61723845

Are there any alternatives to the easeUS stuff?

How probable is it that truecrypt encryption is causing the RAW file system shit when connected externally? This just came to my mind

Why does windows suck at RAM management? On my 4gb laptop I can barely run firefox with max 2 video playing tabs or else it crashes out of memory, the whole time firefox using merely 1.2gb ram in task manager. Resource monitor (and other random programs) show windows eating up more than half of my ram with no indication of what system process is using it.
On an 8gb computer, i can barely run chrome with anything else, and i'm forced to close it when gaymen or else it's a 50/50 whether windows force closes my game or chrome. Resource monitor shows the same thing, more than half taken by who knows what. It's been slightly better ever since i got an extra 8gb for it, but it's still using up more than half, and even used up 95% with only firefox open and using 1.8gb.

>inb4 cache
That's shown separately in resmon, not like it matters anyway since it should swap that out when it's used (those circlejerks on /g/ and other forums must be the truth right?)

I do have a semi-complete backup but that ranges back a couple months so i'd rather pull the recent stuff off quick and then toss that dying pos hdd in the bin once my new build is all set up

Also i'm running WD diagnostics rn, not that i expect much from it but maybe that can give some pointers aswell

>>61724461
Yeah i think deep scan is the default setting, at least i didn't saw any other

I paused it for now to let the WD diagnostic do its thing but the fact that it already started over once probably means it's not going to work at all, i do hope that i'm wrong though

Ah nevermind the diagnostic finished successfully now but that's not of much use for me unfortunately since i still cannot see the fucking files regardles

Is the Library of Babel fake? Website: http://libraryofbabel.info/

All the permutations of 1 book with 410 pages with 40 lines per page and 80 characters per line with the following character set is >10^1million. How many bytes would 10^1,000,000 text characters be? Said text characters are " ", ".", a through z in the English alphabet, and ",".
When each character is one of 29 unique characters it needs a 5-bit charset:
1 binary number can represent 2 different numbers.
2 binary number can represent 4 different numbers.
3 binary number can represent 8 different numbers.
4 binary number can represent 16 different numbers.
5 binary number can represent 32 different numbers.
8 bits = 1 byte, therefore,
56 characters = 5*56 = 280 bits / 8 = 35 bytes
1,000,000 characters = 5 million bits/8=625,000 bytes
5,000,000,000 bits = 625,000,000 bytes
10^1,000,000 characters = 50^1,000,000 bits / 8 = 6.25^1,000,000 bytes (obviously >10^500)
(I am not certain if my calculations are correct. I know that 1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte.)

>>61725575

>>61725614
No, since the vm shares the connection from the host. That being said, you could set a dud DNS (I.E 127.0.0.1) on the host and then set a working one in the VM so it could hypothetically be somewhat possible

>>61725614

How does one change kernels, I would like to put the linux-libre kernel on my manjaro install?

>>61726969

installing linux-libre should go about the same as installing a regular kernel and everything else should just werk with it i.e., you'll get new updated grub listings for linux-libre as you would for new kernel versions etc

if manjaro doesn't prepackage linux-libre you'll have to take the manual approach of downloading/compiling linux-libre (i.e., make, make install), you'll need to run the command to regenerate grub, if you want linux-libre everywhere you'll need to find out how to generate an initramfs from linux-libre rather than just linux, etc, gentoo documentation will help with almost all of this if you just replace linux with linux-libre but to be honest if linux-libre isn't in the manjaro repos it's probably far more effort than it's worth

Xiaomi Redmi are OK, you should get the Snapdragon version and not the Mediatek one (look at the info about the phone and check the processor, if it's Mediatek don't buy). I don't know about the Lenovo one. And, as far as I know, the spyware can't be removed without a custom ROM, but I couldn't find any for that phone.

Is is possible to bypass a "You need to sign up or login to continue watching this movie" message on a movie streaming website with a script blocking add-on?

Occasionally when I download something with transmission on my VPS, the file finishes downloading, but the content of the file is filled with null bytes.

Why does this happen?

>>61728632
Memes. Maybe they're good for video editing or large databases, but for home users there's no difference between SATA SSDs or NVMe SSDs. They take less space, though.

I need to use facebook for something from now on, what's a web browser with good privacy extensions I can install and use just for facebook and nothing else to seperate it from my general browsing?

It can't be firefox or palemoon, as I currently use those for my general browsing.

>>61728698
Use a different profile on firefox
(firefox -P)

>>61728713
Does that seriously keep all of the shit facebook tracks seperate from everything else?

>>61728764
Each profile you make creates a separate folder,everything you do in it is separate from all your other profiles.Including extensions etc

Pretty sure it keeps literally everything separate except the actual firefox binaries

That said, if they're using some machine-based fingerprinting, you'll need to use a different device to properly protect yourself.

>>61728529
That depends on the website. If they have any sort of server-based gate (i.e. your browser has to send valid credentials to the server, and only after these have been validated will the server send the video to the browser) then no. If it's poorly made and the gating is on the client side (e.g. a JS script handles the logging in, and once the server has confirmed that the login is valid the client makes a request to an unauthenticated API that retrieves the video) then you just need to reverse-engineer it and then it's trivial to bypass.

Old sony amp for my sound system worked until I moved, didn't drop it or anything, it works still but only outputs sound at a very low volume both through the speaker and headphones. I replaced the speaker wire just to be sure and everything is set up through phono and nowI'm not sure whats wrong.

All the AMD GPUs I've used have made a traditional high-pitched coil whine noise, every Nvidia GPU I've used has made buzzing/chainsaw noises. I've had:

>6850
>7850
>7950
>R9290

>670
>780
>980Ti
>1080Ti

They all followed this pattern exactly, AMDs whine, Nvidias buzz. Is this an actual difference between the two manufacturers or is it just coincidence/luck on my part?

>>61729316
Mechanical parts make noise.

>>61729371
Yeah I'm not complaining about the noise, I'm just wondering if the difference I've encountered is coincidence or not.

Is there any way to block ads in apps (ios).

fuck off /pol/>>61729026

>>61729405
on wifi you can block them with some sort of middle man, or at the router if you have access
on cellular, you're best bet is to use a browser that supports it, otherwise jailbreak and edit the host files

>>61729316
If it isn't the fan, then it is the VRM ("power supply").

Both are made by a 3rd party, like MSI, Gigabyte etc. As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the fan or VRM that should be GPU manufacturer specific.

I've been lucky and my AMD cards have been silent (5770 and 270x most recently) but the one Nvidia I've had (8800gts, yeah, I know it's old as fuck) didn't buzz either.

But yeah, I have heard it in some PCs and it would drive me nuts.

>>61729602
Oh yeah, if you want to know more try searching for "gpu coil whine", I'm sure you'll find a better explanation.

not sure if there exists a higher res version of this particular icon, as it is meant to just be a small version of the "full" logo, which looks different (showing only the top of the ship's wheel)

Is the 1050 ti 4gb a good choice for gaming if my cpu is an Intel i5 7400k? I don't care about maxing graphics, I'm perfectly fine with low-medium.

Is it worth getting a couple of those chinese Intellimouse Explorer 3.0's off ali? How different are they to real Intelli's?

>>61729876
you're going to want to do something like this

for i in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -vf scale=-H:W "$i.mkv"; done 

H:W being the height and width respectively
check the ffmpeg or webm section of the wiki from the sticky

Do you by any chance know why this icon is so rare? Googling "netscape icon" yields only the underlined N icon, and even on screenshots like 90% of them have the underlined N. Is the wheel only present in some very specific version?

New
>>61730602
>>61730602
>>61730602

>>61729961
Sure.

>>61730518
it's the old program icon for netscape navigator, the "N" logo is actually the logo of netscape itself, the company, while navigator was the name of the browser specifically, and the ship's wheel was it's icon
later on the browser itself came to be known as simply "netscape", and so the ship's wheel icon was retired

Is it normal that monitor has no signal, when there is no hdd?
At first there were some artifacts, then pc restarted itself and now monitor is going to sleep right after boot
Motherboard asrock p67 displays error a2 and a3 which means " Problem related to IDE or SATA devices. Please re-install IDE and SATA devices. If the problem still exists, please clear CMOS and try removing all SATA devices." i did it, no results. hdd had problems for some time (disk usage often was at 100% and when i scanned it there were some warnings) didnt really cared, since i was planning to backup any important data and buy a new one, but its probably a bit too late.
I'm a bit tech illiterate and dont know if it shouldnt run at least bios or show some warnings, even without disk. Gpu is also old as fuck so i wouldnt be suprised if it died.
Anyway, if the disk is dead, can i somehow recover data from it? When pc is turned on it sounds like it works. I cant give it for repair, because i had fap folder full of traps and passwords in .txt on fucking desktop, although they werent important, but still
Also, can I use only external hdd, without any internal hard drive? Because i was going to buy laptop with ssd, so i will need it anyway. I think my mb support it, just want to be sure it wont cause any problems

>>61730759
how are they broken? if a cup just snapped off just tape it back together
if its the interals, surely you know how to solder, right?

My oneitis turned her profile to public and instaraider is giving me an error. Any way to bulk download her instagram?

>>61730825
it's an internal wire, the right side is fiddly.
>surely you know how to solder
guess again

>>61730734
Interesting, thank you

>>61730847
now's a great opportunity to learn, and no question about it, it'll definitely help if you're going to repair electronics in the future.

>>61730897
that was not the question i asked
if i wanted to know how to repair it myself, i would have asked that in the first place. no, i am not going to solder it.
i want to know WHERE i should take it to get fixed
repeat:
electronics store, dedicated headphone repair store, or someplace else?

>>61730847
>>61730897
i can second that, re-attaching a wire on a speaker is a simple and easy thing to do, good chance to learn how to handle a soldering iron

buying an iron and doing it yourself will most certainly be cheaper than taking it in somewhere for repair

>>61730921
i doubt there is such thing as a dedicated headphones repair shop
probably just try a local computer repair shop, they should have someone who can do it, even if it's not something they normally offer

>>61730952
>>i doubt there is such thing as a dedicated headphones repair shop
google shows some right away
the entire crux of my question was whether i should use those or a more general service

>>61730930
i would rather you spend time helping me out instead of blithely and ignorantly repeating "just solder it bro it'd be cheaper"


and no, it wouldn't.

>>61730985
>borrow your grandpas soldering iron
>buy a 3$ coil of soldering wire
>it wouldn't be cheaper
as opposed to having another guy do it for 50$ and up?

>>61730985
no need to get angry, most people don't know what they want, often the best solution to a problem is something other than what the person was asking for
if you don't want to fix it yourself, for whatever reason, that's fine

i will say that it is extremely unlikely to be cheaper to have it repaired by a shop, though, one can get a suitable iron and solder for <$20 easily, most shops don't do jobs that cheaply (plus, you can use the tools for other repairs later on for no cost, until you run out of solder)

>>61731014
>implying i have that
that's the thing you don't get

>>61731098
i learned my lesson about price when i tried to put together a computer and had it collect dust for years before i finally brought it over to a computer shop to help assemble it. it would absolutely be less expensive to have a shop repair the headphones, or buy a new set, rather than break it or leave it collecting dust trying to do it myself.
