I'm trying to play a movie on my ps3. The original file is an mkv which I converted to an MP4 (H.264 +MP3).

The PS3 recognises the file when I insert my USB, but when I play the movie, the first 20 seconds or so play, with no audio, and then the screen goes black permanently after the logo's have finished. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

i have 3 computers in my house, all connected to a single router via switch. can i somehow make each of them have a different external IP? like using DDnS or something?

>>61751197
The original file you have is encoded with DRM protection. Most media players ignore this, but the PS3 media player doesn't, and will halt playback whenever the distributor intended.

127 doesn't go through the NIC so it won't be enough to tell.

my dumb question: can anybody recommend some good windows software for notekeeping? ideally:

Got a drive that was working perfectly until today when it suddenly shows as non-initialized and Windows is asking me to format it again, which I obviously refused to do. Tried moving into a different enclosure but same thing happened, tried running a free partition recovery tool and didn't seem to do any good. Is it safe to assume it's fucked and my data is gone at this point, or is there something else I should try before I chuck it in the trash?

Does anyone have a fountain pen? Long story short, I was looking at pic related. I'm a faggot who writes down my thoughts, ideas, and overall keep a journal. I'm sick of garbage pens and having a dedicated journal pen seems ideal.

Next time i'll just build it myself fuck it

>>61752189
lol, fountain pens are two things:
1. faggy
2. incredibly fun and satisfying to use.
any pen you buy for more than $10 that has a 4star+ rating will be just fine. just know that if you're a ditzy fuck like myself, you should probably give it a dedicated home on a desk as opposed to in a bag or otherwise, lost my first few pens real fast taking them to classes and work.

>>61752189
i use one and won't use anything else. i have a waterman with a refillable cartridge (you siphon the ink from an ink bottle)

>>61752252
Yea I realize fountain pens can be seen as faggy but whatever, I don't care. I'm sick of really shitty pens and any of the pens that are worth using are like $10 for a pack of 3.

And I totally intend to keep my pen on my desk. It'll be for journal and note taking only.

do you work on some GIS shit? As you're a winfag try http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/ or google for VLIV - it's ancient, but apparently still works well enough.

Another solution may be to try and cut the fucker down into several pieces - no clue on how to do that on windows. This what I'd do with imagemagick: [CODE]convert image.jpg -crop 10%x10% +repage image_%d.jpg[/CODE]

How do I figure out if my ISP is fucking with me?

For YEARS I have had an off-and-on problem where my internet will just completely die for 5-50 seconds. Sometimes it'll just stop for a handful of seconds. Sometimes it'll go out for a minute or two. Rarely it'll go completely out for 5-10 minutes at a time.

It makes online games impossible. I get DCd constantly. Sometimes its a DC every minute, sometimes I get 15-20 minutes without a DC. But no matter what, some 5, 10, 30 seconds outtage comes along at least once an hour, and usually more like 3-10 times an hour.

It's extremely variable.

I think it happens more during summer, and possibly during holidays.

I suspect that it's just network load crippling my neighborhood or town.

How do I find out what it is, though?
How do I find out if they're "shaping" my connection or putting me on a lower priority because I refuse to pay for more than 15Mbps/3Mbps?

All of the tools online that claim to detect ISP fuckery seem to have shut down. And I don't want to run untrusted .exe's.

I've called the company repeatedly over the years. They send someone out who fucks with the modern, fucks with the cable box outside, fucks with the pole the drop runs from.

Usually nothing gets fixed. Sometimes things will improve for a while. But NO MATTER WHAT, this problem comes back.

What the fuck is it? My ISP just being tightass pieces of shit and not upgrading their infrastructure because I'm not in a metro area?

have a program that can sort files listed in it

I implemented sorting, and I am not sure if the correct orientation is set.

The standard, the expected. I never thought about it, but what seems standard - the trianle, is counter intuitive to me.

I opened thunar to test how it goes

▼ - ABCD...
▼ - 4 kB, 100 kB, 500 kB,...
▼ - monday, tuesday, friday, today

obviously ▲ goes in opposite direction sorting
but WTF

larger portion of the triangle at the top, smaller at the bottom, yet size goes from small to large, and I know with date and alphabet its kinda how you feel, but I would still go other way around...

I'm moving my SSD with Windows already on it to a new PC with only an empty HDD for storage. I know I'll have to do a fresh Windows install on the SSD, but is there some specific way I should do it or just plug it in, boot the PC and then overwrite the Windows installation from a disc or USB stick?

I have a bunch of files that share a the same first part of their file names, can I remove that part with a simple script?
ie album name - track # - song
track # - song

>>61752808

When you install Windows, there's always the option to delete/format/resize the paritions before installing

So just install SSD, boot into CD/USB stick, and follow the onscreen stuff

>>61752649

So I just bought a TPM-module in belief it'd enable Full Disk Encryption, but I missed a requirement which was InstantGo(and my motherboard don't support that). So now I'm left with a useless TPM-module and no encryption, so I could use some tips to go from here

1. Should I cough up some money and upgrade my license to Pro? First-party 256-bit encryption that uses my new TPM module sounds nice. Remote Desktop and Hyper-V could be useful too, but I don't think I'll use them that often, hence why it feels a bit crappy paying for the Pro license solely to get BitLocker.

2. Use some 3rd-party software, doesn't sound too good and probably won't utilize the TPM module. But it seems to be a cheaper option.

Which way should I go, anons?

Well so 700, 704 and 708 are a power of 4, so it should be mostly fine? But I don't see a way to label it as exactly 4:3 instead.
Actually I might be wrong. I use MPC-HC as a main video play. When I play the video and go in properties it says 704x576 (176:135) in details, but when I go to MediaInfo it says 4:3. Does it really matter?

I'm new to networking so bear with me

If I got an ethernet switch, could I use it to connect a raspberry pi with openwrt to an adsl connection, then connect an ethernet cable to the switch from my PC to essentially use the raspberry pi as a router?

>>61753220
block it in firewall?

My seagate drive in my laptop is beeping occasionally. It work fine right now but I'm worried why it's beeping.
Seems to happen more when it's hot and I move it.

>>61753244
it might not be 4:3 after cropping, it depends on how that specific video was made
either way, this is a small crop, and such a small potential error doesn't really matter, no
mediainfo is likely just rounding to the nearest common ratio
there are also bluray movies with pictures sizes like 1920x804, 1920x816, etc, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference after stretching them to 1920x800, and it's hard to tell what the 'true' ratio is supposed to be

>>61753250
>connect to adsl
Assuming you have a DSL filter (as you normally would) and a wifi enabled raspberry pi, yes.
You can do it with a USB Wifi dongle too but note:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/raspberry_pi_foundation/raspberry_pi#how_to_use_usb-ethernet_with_raspberry_pi_zero

>>61753323
>>61753244
also, the purist solution would be to just not crop, and use the DAR flagged on the dvd
since a dvd can only be 4:3 or 16:9 (the standard only supports these two), it should be very obvious which one it should be
this way, the result is exactly the same as you would get when playing the dvd normally

>>61753253
How exactly in Firewall? What is the name?
I already disable the Windows Update and stuff on "Services". Also, I blocked Svchost.exe with NetLimiter but can't use the internet in general....
Thanks for respond

>>61753350
Well for WiFi support I need specific drivers for the OpenWRT firmware, and I can't install them without internet, plus I like having my main PC connected via ethernet which is why I'm considering getting a switch. So the setup would be like this?
>switch port 1 connects to adsl
>pi connects to switch port 2
>pc connects to switch port 3
>switch routes pc to pi which routes to adsl

Hello /g/.
I just bought a chink mic, and it annoys me that I have to set the mic boost to 30dB. The buzzing sound is horrendous. Then I read in certain forums that using a 3.5mm to USB jack helps it a lot since a lot of chink mics needs more voltage to work properly. Now, can I just use an XLR to USB cable instead of buying an adapter? Is it safe? How can I guarantee it won't burn itself or explode?

What's a good super cheap web host? I'm currently with 247zilla but my files have started getting randomly deleted which is pretty concerning.

They differ in the data structures they use to keep track of the filesystem hierarchy and files, in the size of files they allow, in the efficiency with which they allow programs to perform operations on different kinds files, permissible names for files, the metadata they attach to each file, and lots of other details. You can look at the wikipedia pages for various filesystems liks XFS, ext4, btrfs, ZFS, NTFS, FAT, etc. in order to get an idea about how some of these things are handled in different filesystems.

Yes.
You (via inotifywatch) or you IDE can automate it. Also if you mean /every/ object file then if you use a decent makefile-like system it should be able to figure out to only re-compile the changed ones.

>>61755738
It's a malware scanner more than an antivirus.

I'd run NoScript but it basically cripples the internet and makes basic things a pain in the ass to do.

And Ublock fails to block everything. In fact, more frequently it's been blocking less and less.

>>61755630
Well, making satellite imagery is a bit more involved than strapping a camera to a drone.

First, what ground resolution are you looking for? 1px / 10 cm is pretty good, so I'd stick with that.

Second, you need overlap between pictures. Regular flights (in east-west direction to compensate earths rotation) usually have 30% overlap in north / south and 40 - 60% in east west.

From these two factors, your focal length, and how high your drone can fly calculate how many pixels you need and how much images you need.

Third, you need to undistort images, then stitch them together. If you can't program, you're fucked at this stage because the software required for stitching is not just available for everyone. You'll also need to color-correct the images.

"Satellite imagery" isn't made by sattelites, their cameras are too weak. They get maybe 1m ground resolution tops. "Satellite imagery" is made by attaching LIDAR cameras in the 20k range to airplanes so you can cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time.

Plus: weather conditions, flight restrictions. It depends how large the city is, you can't fly above hospitals, etc.

I assume you are referring to the generated passwords (nothing to do with pbkdf at that stage). In renderPassword it gets a set of allowed characters from the passwordProfile and passes that to consumeEntropy which adds one character from the passed set to the password and then recurses until the password is the desired length.

I recently saved enough money to build a mostly new computer.
Scavenged the graphics card and hard drive from my old system.
I just plugged in my USB to install the OS, i went theough the prompt, and then it blue screened, and every time it restarts, it blue screens.
I'm aware system hardware changes mess with Windows, but how am i supposed to format the hard drive if i cant get into the thing?
Each bkuescreen is some random fibberiah each time, one mentioned a pagel file in an unpaged area (something along those lines), one mentioned a memory dump, another mentions pfn list being corrupt, and other times it just fills my screen with blue lines.
The system doesnt recognise any USB port when I try to boot from my Win7 disc.
Being poor, I have no way to buy new hardware or anything, so I'm genuinely getting worried and sad that this isn't working.

What's the best software for display mouse coordinates?

So goyim, I recently got into video games and ever since I have been hooked to this game called fallout new Vegas. I love it a lot, and read up a bit. Turns out there is a phone application for fallout 4 that let's you control the in game computer "pip boy" to change equipment etc. That's because fallout 4 has a dedicated api for it

But how possible would it be for me to do that same with fallout nv, by binary editing? Just a list of equipment will be enough, I don't plan on displaying the map or anything complex. I have years of experience with C, AVRs, 8052/2s, some with ARM cortex-m3s. I know it's possible

Is setting the position of a vertex in webgl es to a NaN an effective way of "discarding" it? If a vertex has an undefined position it isn't drawn on the screen, but does this also save fragment shader time and speed up computations? If all the triangles associated with a vertex shouldn't be drawn, is this better than discarding them in the fragment shader?

And how on earth do you upgrade/activate once you've purchased? My activation page is missing the options I see on others' screenshots. Pic related

Recently built my own computer with the help of some friends and since I'm a mongoloid I don't know how to take care of a computer.

I want this computer to last me. What are the basics

>>61758314
open the case and clean the fans every 6 months or so

going absolutely fucking crazy trying to fix the csrf failed error on owncloud. is my only option to find an older version?

i tried disabling file_sharing, but that's both why I have a cloud, and not working anyway.

>>61758314
hose down mobo and fans every half year or so
dont turn on until it dries obviously

I'm running windows 8.1, mainstream support ends soon. Since I'll be getting security updates during the extended support period there is no reason to upgrade to windows 10 right?

>in before ">not using linux"

Could someone give me an example in where you would use a union instead of a struct. I understand it's used to conserve memory but I just don't know why would you want to do that.

>>61758365
not him, but is that shit really safe to soak as long as there's no current?

doesn't it have batteries to keep its internal clock going?

I've been using keepass but I'm starting to miss those easy to sync features with cloud managers like lastpass. I'm always afraid that I forget to backup my keepass database and my server fails and I lose everything. Is there anything out there that'll provide me security with easy to use browser plugin and syncing of the "cloud"?

How can I stop my keyboard multimedia volume up&down keys from controlling sound in Windows? I want to bind them strictly to control volume in Foobar (music player).

>>61758387
you can take the battery out you know

yes its safe to soak as long as you let it dry completely but theres not any decent reason to do so

it was just a joke

>>61758421
man you got me excited. you have no idea how scary my mobo is on my windows rig.

>>61758387
> doesn't it have batteries to keep its internal clock going?
It does but that is low power enough that it doubt anything would break even if enough of a puddle of conductive water formed to short it.
Not saying it is a good idea to hose down your PC of course. It is a fucking stupid idea but I can imagine you getting away with doing that and not breaking everything. Sure wouldn't count on it though, they aren't really designed to handle that.

>>61758427
just use compressed air if anything

its expensive and runs out quick though

>>61758438
yeah i've just been lazy about buying more.

food, beer, and bills ya know.

Honestly mate I don't know what it's called. I don't think it's common enough to warrant its own name.

That said -- is it the monitor or the video output?

(If you don't know --- can you try a known working screen with your computer, or a known working video output with your monitor?)

Is the 16:9 ratio likely to remain the standard in the following years?

Can I just add another card like a Gtx 950? Or will that screw up performance of main card?

Will performance be affected negatively in a substantial way if I mix and match RAM? (Different brand, stick size and speed)

I am building a frankenstein PC for my little brother out of the spare parts from my old build and his current build (Both use DDR3).

I'm talking 1x4 Stick at 1200, 2x4 Sticks at 1600 and 1x8 stick at 1333

Would he be better off with just the 2x4 or the 1x8 or should I put all four sticks in there?

anybody here have used windows 8.1? how is it compared to 7 and 10?

>>61758653
Better than 7, worse than 10.

>>61758642
Yes, don't do it, it will crash randomly.

>>61758653
better than 10, worse than 7

>>61758653
Worse than 8, worse than 10

10 is pretty okay if you skullfuck the LTSB version.

DS and DS2 aren't the same

>>61758451
it's ok to turn the power switch off, provided you've at least synced and remount-ro/unmounted your filesystems, something done by your os during shutdown, otherwise you may lose data and potentially corrupt your filesystem
unlike back in the dos days, there are ram-based caches for everything, which are lost when you lose power, so they need to be placed on disk before you power your machine off

>>61751239
Sometimes ISPs will provision your modem to pull x number of IPs, and then you can set the computers up for IP passthrough

>>61752099
Sure, just make sure the set up the computers for passthrough in the router settings otherwise it's useless.

some chink android box or amazon fire tv stick for installing kodi and occasionally streaming movs/eps ? 1gb of the stick should be OK me thinks. any other recommendations are welcome, thx!

>>61759988
Are you asking a question?

>>61760011
Yeah, tried to. Basically - anyone using the amazon fire tv stick to stream with Kodi ?

Is the compare function (by file content) of freefilesynch enough to check backups integrity?

Are gaymer chairs a meme?
what is more comfy: gaymer chair or office chair?

>>61760198
Why not instead of asking random fucks on the internet what is comfy and goto Fry's and sit in a few and figure out what you like. If you like a "gaming" chair then get it. Who the fuck cares.

Is there any good software to turn my tablet into a second monitor? I just want to mirror my display on my tablet and watch videos from it, sound can just come from my PC speakers for all I care. Any good free software that can do this?

If I cut a video file with ffmeg does it do so losslessly?

>>61760236
*ffmpeg, sorry

>>61760214
I'm just looking for a comfortable chair.
And the reason why I'm asking instead of going to somewhere where I can try them out: I can't! In my cunt there are no fucking shops where you can try out chairs! Specialy gaymer chairs!
Only way to get one is to order and get it from the shop later.

>>61760249
Fair enough anon. There's gotta be another place around you at least.

>>61760236
if you're using stream copy, then yes
for example;

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -t 10 -map 0 -c copy output.mkv

will place the first 10 seconds of the input into the output losslessly

>>61760269
Isn't -map 0 useless here?

>>61760261
Unless I'd go to crappy shops looking for old *who knows where it came from* chairs...
It suppose to be simple question with an answer from someone who have experience with chairs, I mean, /g/ sits on chairs while shitpost, no?

NVM... will figure out on myself somehow, hopefully won't buy something I'll regret

>>61760269
I don't know what a stream copy is, but my command contains that- I just used what someone else recommended I use (he explained it to me too, but I never really read it honestly).

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00.000 -t X:XX:XX.XXX -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 21 -c:a aac -b:a 192k -map_metadata -1 output.mp4

Thanks for the reply. Cheers. I just forgot to take note of the timestamps of what I was cutting, so I wanted to cut the video I just created and wondered if there was a downside.

>>61760310
all else fails try a Goodwill, they normally have decent chairs and hell sometimes not even used.

>>61759933
I have a similar issue, but messenger is only part of it.
Google app doesn't hear me, nor does Samsung notes. Funny enough when make videos on my S8, it hears me as clear as day. Any ideas /g/?

>inb4 turn it off and on

>>61760329
No goodwill or fry's or whatever other American shop here.
There is an ikea, but only for delivering items ordered via internet.

>>61760317
This command won't result in a lossless output.
Use something like:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00.000 -t X:XX:XX.XXX -c copy output.mp4

If you wan't lossless. Here you're re-encoding the original file using x264 and aac, which is lossy. Especially using -crf 21.

>>61760366
shit, fuck. I'm glad I asked then, cause I've been using it for almost the entire time I was using ffmpeg. Pic related was when I got it.

Thanks for the info. I guess simple is best in this case. I thought the fancy stuff just made it better with no compromise.

>>61760317
1. place -ss before the input for faster seeking (before someone says it's inaccurate, that is not the case with more recent versions of ffmpeg)
2. you are telling ffmpeg to transcode the video (-c:v) and audio (-c:a), so they won't be lossless copies, yes, even if the options you set are the same as what was used to make the input file

I didn't want to seem I was spamming, but since the thread'll probably slow down if not die after this point now, I just want to say thanks. I'm really ignorant of this type of stuff, and thinking of it really hard makes me anxious, so any help is greatly appreciated, seriously, cause otherwise I'd just go on indefinitely with what I was taught since I (might poorly) consider it best.
