/g/ always talk about "companies spying and stealing your data", I don't doubt about that but what exactly do they steal?

Because, I'm not famous, important, a hacker or a cyber-criminal, I'm just a regular guy who just use pc to work and shitpost here. So why I have to protect myself? why you protect yourself against them? What data they want and what they do with datas?

I suppose one is protecting themself from having an internet profile.
Example
When an individual is targeted their wealth is learned. What they do for a living is learned. Their likes dislikes and what their current thoughts are, are all targeted. Every last dollar in your pocket I'll try and be magnitiesed by companies that know your every thought. Marketing tailored to your brain knowing how to suck every dollar out of you. Even those with large amounts of will power can be abused for cash because marketing companies know how to break you. I do not wish for them to have this ability to know that I will break when I see a 8 tb hard drive at a "discount" or other tech goodies that my consumerist soul may desire.

So you don't mind if a person was over your shoulder, watching everything you do and taking notes?
That's what "companies spying and stealing your data" is referring to. They don't literally "steal" anything. But it's obvious that some advertisers are unscrupulous and implant malware or adware or spyware on your PC.

I need help covering F1CB FC33 A90E 3D97 DC03 to a string that is 8 characters long and consisting of R,L,U and D's. Pic related.

Any help at all would be appreciated!

>>61956732
Shrink the partition down to have no free space then image it over to the smaller hdd.

>>61956732
Note that the data to be copied itself would still be way below the target disk's capacity, it's basically just the partition itself that would be too large - I suppose i could downsize it via diskmgmt before attempting to clone or something though

Because there are two common date arrangements which, when the date is on or before the 12th, can cause confusion.

How about a 980 ti hybrid for $300? $75 for the difference, is it a big enough improvement?

>>61957078
Storage for what? How much data?

>>61957705
No, that's too much.

>>61957576
The poorfag solution is don't get any extra hardware, just use your computer.

>>61957576
XLR mic? Because the poorfag solution is to use USB.

>>61957732
Really? The 980 ti outperforms the 1070, and those are like $450 new

>>61957761
Really. Open with $250 and see what you can get. Maybe you accept $270s. But this is splitting hairs when you're already buying last gen. I'd sooner just take the 980, live with its performance and spend the $50 elsewhere.

>>61957741
did that so far and found it to be a lackluster solution
>>61957758
no, although I'd like to have the option
I'd rather avoid a USB mic

>>61957800
Wait so that's a no to XLR and you'd rather avoid USB...are you using a piece of garbage on the end of a 3.5mm plug? I'm confused because literally a webcam microphone would be an upgrade to that. Or are you saying that this mic is all just hypothetical at the moment?

I have an AM2 processor lying around
>AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+

>>61957822
I have an under 50$ microphone that has a 3.5 plug and it worked so far since I only had to plug it into the PC
I'd need an amp anyway so I'd rather get that first and probably upgrade the microphone as well at my earliest convenience

How do I either prove someone on my lan is monitoring my traffic for malicious reasons or otherwise make it so they can't see it?

>>61957889
Oh good Christ, just wait until you see what a difference a proper mic is going to make. Don't write USB mics off so hastily though. Some of them like the Blue product line are just memes but in general they can be quite adequate.

I can't for the life of me remember the name of this really basic mixer that's a darling of a lot of streamers out there. Don't worry it has XLR. It totally escapes me though.

Then any normie storage like google drive free would do fine. If you want to reduce risk of data being leaked, use encryption software over the top such as boxcryptor.

Can I setup a network within a network? Say I live on campus at a university and use that wifi, can I set up my own local network within that but still use the wifi for internet access?

>>61958209
yes

>>61958215
Sweet, how? Networks are Greek to me

>>61958230
are you trying to use your uni's wifi to make your own network, or do you have a wired connection?

>>61956600
>>61957591
holy shit. i decided to try netflow.
i hate that I answer questions on this board in my free time.

>>61958258
Using the wifi, there are no wired connections

>>61958209
Potentially. You take the campus internet connection and plug it into your router's "internet" port. Then you go into the router setup and make sure it's assigning IP addresses in a different range than your university network. (To figure this out, connect your computer straight to the university network first and see what IP address it assigns you. Say it's 10.0.0.69. When you configure your router, use another reserved LAN range like 192.168.1.whatever.)

The reason I said "potentially" is because there could be an issue. Many schools don't want students doing this. As a result they force students to run a program on their computer which validates their access to the network. Or it requires them to log in. Because the device connecting to the university network will now be a router instead of just your computer, you might not be able to get your router to validate correctly. But hey, it's an experiment.

>>61958326
Do you want to buy some ~$100 hardware to do it for you, or would you rather build a cheap linux rig to take the wifi and route it?

Well, assuming the login thing isn't an issue:

1. buy this: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-AC750-Range-Extender-EX3700-100NAS/dp/B00R92CL5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503019356&sr=8-1&keywords=network+extender+netgear

and connect it to a router. I've been usuing this setup for years when needed.

2. get a computer, install any linux and add a bunch of ethernet ports and two wifi cards. use one wifi card to take in the connection and the other to broadcast. The extra ethernet ports would be used for wired devices. you could loosely base it ff this guide, with or without the tor part. https://learn.adafruit.com/onion-pi/overview

>>61958429
he could just as easily use whatever eth and wlan interfaces come with his machine and make virtual interfaces for everything else.

>>61958496
How so?

im not even going to bother giving someone a (You) im still bitter about this: >>61958315

connect to your unis internet.
crate a virtual network interface on linux.
type something like this:

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o [Interface name connected to uni] -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i [virtual vlan interface name] -j ACCEPT

configure whatever you want your virutal (private) interface to do. maybe throw on a dhcpd, or just static everything, idc

>>61958520
using linux you can just create virtual interfaces. this works for wifi too, assuming your wifi drivers support it you can have multiple virtual interfaces connected to multiple networks

its simple

ifconfig <VIRTUAL_INTERFACE_DEVICE> <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <SUBNET_MASK> up

I have about $90-$100 to spend on a home router.
What are some good ones for the price/brands to avoid?
It's gonna have a couple of computers and quite a few wireless devices connected to it, so I need something that won't shit the bed when there's a lot of wireless devices connected.
And in our neck of the states, average connection is about 60-100Mb/s down, so the bleeding edge fastest thing wouldn't be used to its full potential, I'd be more interested in robustness.
I want to specify because of the last thread that this would be a router for my parents house since they and my brothers are getting frustrated with the current router dying when they all get home and their phones connect to the network. Since I don't live there and they want me to be their tech support, I just want something basic that's pretty much plug and play/minimal set up so if something goes wrong, they have a chance of figuring it out/they can call up the manufacturer. So having all the open features and being linux based doesn't mean shit.

ordroid XU4 if you are decent with linux and embedded devices. I just bought one and configured to be a home router and firewall instead of ISP hardware. it has an 8-core ARM processor and 2gb of ram with a gigabit ethernet connection. also has a usb3.0 and supports ethernet over usb if you need a second physical interface.

I would just like to interject for one moment. The operating system you are suggesting for me to install, and rather commandingly might I add, will in fact, not directly solve my current problem at hand, and will actually cause me to ask further questions about the difficult process involved in installing it. Gentoo is a very nice operating system itself, but I'd rather you directly assist me in my quest to solve my current predicament.

I understand that many computer users run the Gentoo Linux operating system, and I realize they may enjoy it greatly and are not currently experiencing the current problem that I have whilst using my non-Gentoo operating system. Through a peculiar turn of events, I have noticed an enormous amount of users make the "Install Gentoo" suggestion, but many of its users are not aware that this suggestion, in most cases, is actually not an "easy-fix" to every single computer-related error.

There really are reasons for installing Gentoo, and there are people using it, but it is just for the few users who choose to compile their own source code locally according to their chosen configuration. Gentoo is just another operating system: the problems I am experiencing will not undeviatingly be solved if I make the choice to install it. All these so-called "Install Gentoo" suggestions I am noticing should cease immediately.

thats your gpu that looks more overheated than anything, the others are more or less within guidelines.

idk, or ensure that the gpu fan is running.

idk, the fact of the matter is your cpu is ok temp wise, but your gpu is hot as shit

>if you can into linux
my dude, my parents are 50+ years old and barely know how windows works, meanwhile my siblings are still in school and don't give two shits about technical aspects of technology, they just want to stream and download without the shit falling apart.
And since it's an entire family using it, good, robust, wifi is needed. If anything's needed, instead of ringing me up for everything, I want them to be able to just turn it off and back on again or ring up some customer support line since they use the phone more than google.

Dead serious, went over to their place for the 4th of july and once my siblings arrived and their devices connected, my laptop couldn't even stream a youtube video at 720p without needing to buffer for so long.
Not only that, it just randomly dies at times, so they want me to replace it.

What is that one site called where it lists out all the different programs that respect your privacy for each platform? I tried searching for it but couldn't find it.

No /retro/ thread so I'll ask here.

I just bought an old Geforce AGP card from ebay. The guy claimed that it was tested and working. When I got the card, I plugged it in and got a corrupt looking video bios screen, followed by nothing. I plugged in my old shitty card and it worked fine. Plugged the Geforce in and got the same corrupt video. I tried to reseat the AGP card like 5 times and nothing changed.

What is the most likely culprit? Static discharge fried the card? I've installed lots of cards over the years and never came across this.

>>61959081
try
kernel.org
archlinux.org
debian.org

Get two sets of 4TB storage media. That could be two 4TB hard drives, two pairs of 2TB hard drives, tape, whatever. You just need two of them.

Connect one set to your computer and run any kind of backup software you want. Could be as simple as copying everything or you could use dedicated software which will check for changes and do its own scheduling. Run it for the first time and let it do its thing.

When it's done, carefully check the backup. Open the most important files and make sure nothing is out of place. Validate the backup. When you're satisfied that everything went correctly, unplug this media set. This is now your "offsite backup." Go take it somewhere safe like a bank box, relative's home, storage unit, etc. Get it away from your home.

Now come back home and repeat that entire process for the second set of media. This set will stay plugged into your computer. Use the backup solution of your choice to create a new backup. When it's done, validate that the backup went correctly. This is now your "onsite backup." It will stay with your computer and be periodically updated to reflect changes that you make to your files.

Finally, go grab a spare USB flash drive. Clear it out and put only the MOST CRITICAL FILES you have on there. I'm not talking about music or animu. Save things like bank records, tax documents, irreplaceable photos, etc. on there. When you're done, validate the files you put on there. Then unplug it from your computer and put it somewhere safe. This is your "oh shit I got some ransomware and it encrypted my onsite backup drives too" backup. It's handier than having to take a trip to go get your offsite backup.

Every so often, like 3-6 months, go retrieve your offsite backup and update it before taking it back to where you keep it. ALWAYS VALIDATE THE BACKUP BEFORE YOU CALL IT GOOD.

>>61959248

>>61959292
No, unless you want each of those programs to be processing effects/encodings/etc. at the same time.

>>61959292
No, you could get a low end card and you would see no difference vs. a high end card. You would benefit more from a high end CPU and as much RAM as you can afford.

How do I validate 3TB of data?

>>61959314

Wouldn't I need a decent card for those?

>>61959335

>>61959343
>How do I validate 3TB of data?
hash sums

>>61959343
>As my data grows do I just get bigger HDDs?
I guess? either that or store on a cloud.

>>61959343
You can automate processes to compare checksums of every file as a lazy but passable way of doing it. An even lazier way for personal files is to say "Hey, while I'd love all 3TB to be intact, there are only a handful of things I really couldn't bear to lose." Go check those by hand and then sample a few more randomly.

You can add more storage as your data grows but I built in an extra ~33% with the way I spelled it out, using 4TB per backup instead of 3.

>>61959292
You dont need the highest end but mid grade would be fine

Photoshop uses the gpu for filters and effects.

>>61959356
A mid-range card, which will be suitable for your own personal enjoyment of games and such, will suffice. As the other Anon said, focus on a strong CPU and spend the rest on RAM. A good NVME drive for "working storage" to hold your active projects would be nice too. Obviously you wouldn't keep archives on it.

I have a huge as fuck (220 MB) rtf file that is the export of a 20 year old MDE.
I need to transform it into a usable format to upload it into a newer database, the problem lies in that i cant open it in word or any other thing that recognizes the format without it crashing.
I can use other file readers like JOE or Kate and it will open flawlessly although a little sluggy.

Is there anyway to parse it to CSV through a CLI or something that wont jew me out?

>>61959432
The proper way to do it is to check hashes *and then live off of it.* Actually use the backup as a working drive for as long as it takes to be satisfied in the integrity of the backup. This allows you to not only have confidence in the integrity of the file operations but also in the hardware itself. You'll have an extra chance to catch bad sectors, hear clicks from the drive, etc. Treat the drive the way you'd be using it if you actually needed to recover using that backup. It's the gold standard for validating one.

Yes, I think it's overkill.

I leave it to you to decide the balance between not wanting to redownload in the face of potential disaster and the cost/effort of backing all that shit up. Maybe you'd be satisfied, for example, keeping A/V files on a smaller drive and just putting that away on-site or off-site one time. Update it maybe once a year with any new shit you downloaded but don't fuss over making a second backup of it or anything. Treat the more valuable stuff with a more rigorous procedures. I think that's a fair practice for personal stuff.

Gsync is about the refresh rate not the image quality. It doesn't really matter imo,

Apparently I need x265 on my system. Does this just mean compiling ffmpeg with x265 flag? I'm so confused

Ffmpeg says:
>In order to obtain a copy of ffmpeg with libx265 support, you need to build it yourself, adding the --enable-libx265 configuration flag, with x265 being installed on your system.

However, it then says:
>You can also download a static build, all of which bundle libx265.

So, is this saying the static build already has the -enable-libx265 flag, or is it saying that I still also need x265 installed on my system?

How the hell do I install x265 on my system? The official website just mentions x265 HEVC Upgrade, which costs $20 bucks. Surely this is free?

bitcoin as an obtainable commodity is pretty much dead. the rises of bitcoin are entirely due to investors who will never see a dime on their returns. the time to get into bitcoin is long past, buying into it now is basically throwing your money away.

the thing about all cryptocoins is it can be worth a billion fucking dollars but if no ones buying into it its worth nothing. once the investors dry up, no average person aside from idiots will be putting money into it and those with thousands of dollars of coins will never be able to cash them out

however shipping from the seller is almost 90 euros and twice as much as item asking price
they dont offer standard shipping on purpose, only express courier
might as well buy more modern product at that price

shipping to US is half that, china a quarter and hong kong expenses are almost nothing
problem with these forwarding sites I found is the weight expense

>>61963938
Ah like that, i think the magic word you're looking for is a proxy then

They recieve your package in japan or china and forward it to you

>>61963959
cheapest I found from HK to my home address is about 60 euros and it might take a while so maybe someone ordered something heavy and can help directing me which website I should use

>>61963771
yeah turns out it was used for a text highlighter extension. stupid of me not to check but thanks anon

Is there any point to using TOR anymore?

I need a computer OS for a grandma for basic word processing, internet (facebooking), powerpoints and Access (for business accounting).

What do I install?

>>61964059
Depends on what you want to use it for. If you're in a country with monitored/filtered internet that puts you in jail if you try to visit certain sites, TOR is pretty useful.

authenticated with my 4chan pass and suddenly I have to solve captcha aswell to post, only happened since waterfox updated, any way to roll back to previous version of waterfox on fedora linux

>>61964069
Ubuntu or Linux Mint probably.

>>61964091
I was thinking Mint (MATE).

Thanks for justifying my intuiting.

does anybody here know where i can get an owncloud appliance for hyper-v and could link it?

>>61964069
Either Windows 10 or Ubuntu LTS with XFCE/MATE (/Cinnamon if it's not an ancient laptop) with menus looking like whatever OS she already knows how to use. Put the shortcuts on the desktop and make them big, even rename them to things like "Internet Explorer" if they're really attached to XP.

So I got a cheap VPS, been messing around with it and using it to run a very small personal site with one or two docker webapps, all with Let's Encrypt enabled. Firewall is also enabled. Is there anything important I should be doing to make sure I don't get btfo by the first passing bot/kid?

Upgraded to a 4k monitor. My system is clearly not powerful enough. i7 920, 6gb RAM, R9 280.

Where do I go next?

>>61964117
Just putting this out there, the reason for the change is W10 somehow (some fucking how) decided to fail an update and now refuses to boot or give any options to fix itself.

Something about cl.dll failing to load and apparently it's a relatively common issue with updates.

Not too impressed honestly.

A few seconds after I open my laptop a cmd window pops up and automatically runs shutdown /r, and for some reason it won't let me get into bios when booting. What do I do?

>>61956556
fdisk /dev/sdx -o

Ryzen 7 or thread ripper + nvidia 1080 or 1080ti

Just picked up a USB-PS/2 adapter someone dumped with a broken mouse. Tried it on my mouse (G400s if that's important) and the most I can get is the mouse clearly having a physical connection but not being recognised, since the optical sensor is lighting up (although not actually functioning as a sensor, i.e. not changing the light level when something passes over it).
PC doesn't register it's there in hardware manager either.

Is this a compatibility issue with the mouse model, or just a 'restart and it werks' thing? It's not incredibly important, I'd just like having a free USB port.

how can I revive an external HD that was unplugged badly?

>>61964432
Would love thread ripper, but I could buy 3 Ryzen rigs for that sort of money!

>>61964329
Ouch, I've had a similar thing happen and it's not fun. I suppose for a backup you could install the Windows bootloader, create a VHD from the W10 installer command line, and install to that rather than straight to the hard disk, optionally with another partition for user data. Once it's all set up well, copy the VHD to an external drive and if it all goes wrong again you can just replace the VHD file on the computer for instant fresh install.

But I did that when the Windows 7 beta came out and I had too much free time. It also doesn't stop Windows from fucking up again.

Any difference between 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch HDD apart from the sizes? Like lifespan for example?

>>61964456
those adapters came with retarded mice that supported both the usb and ps2 protocol. its not a generic adapter.

>>61964562
Oh.
Welp, dumped again.

Finally buy a backup drive on sale.

Start moving files from my other drives and one of them decides now is the time to shit itself..

I've had the click of death on another drive before, but this one sounds different. Disconnect/reconnect power to listen to it, whirr, whirr, whirr. None of the loud clicking that the other one did when it died.

Too much porn to send it off to data recovery experts. Tried disconnecting other drives, moving cables. Google says to try another computer or get an external dock.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Red pill me on these m2 drives that I'm hearing about?

What are they for? What do they do? Benefits and problems?

I think my ssd (boot drive) just shit itself
I can even boot windows from disk and repair it

What do i do now?
Will i need to reinstall windows onto one of my other hdds in the meantime?
Because ive tried that and it says windows cannot be installed to GPT disks
:(

What exactly is XML for?

qbittorrent's default search plugins don't seem to be working for me, on Ubuntu 16.04. The ones I installed manually are fine, but the preinstalled, like tpb, don't work at all.

What's that one website that shows what everyone's downloading/torrenting on a public network?

>>61964667
run linux from a USB driver
run "grub-repair" or "boot-repair"
or try running boot repair from Hirens

Hey geeks, how can I set up a Twitter account anonymously when it keeps requiring a phone number, and I don't want to give my own?

Buying a burner SIM is too much fucking effort

>>61965178
Your ISP might be blocking tbp.

Use Minds. Twitter, Facebook, etc... They're dead.

>>61964657
Not really worth the money. They might be speedy, but it's not speed anyone really needs. You won't notice a difference between it and a regular SSD.

I decided to go for it on my fileserver build (since it was crammed into a u-nas nsc-400) though due to the low profile. And since I only needed it as a boot disk I went with whatever m.2 had the least amount of space on it.

I accidentally deleted some pictures on my phone.
I've downloaded at least 3 apps that retrieved some back, anything else I can do or are they gone forever ?

>>61966628
Everytime you download and install a new app you're overwritting data on it, so, the more you install the less photos you're likely to recover.
So, what apps did you tried and why didn't they work?
Remember, you need to be rooted to use recovery apps.

Running the latest nvidia drivers on Ubuntu but I'm missing the options for ForceCompositionPipeline on my X Server settings. Any thoughts as to why I'm missing this?

These, I just got them last night.
One previous app told me to root it with a link to some website but I wasn't sure

>>61966965
Those should work, but unless you're sure your phone is rooted, you're probably un-rooted.
Look around using your phone model and "root" in google to really learn how to root your phone.

>>61961194
Pls respond

>>61961194
Install windows 10.
Also, what pny device are you trying to use?

>>61967032
Honestly thank you, I've no idea what I was doing:)

>>61967082
Just a USB stick.
>Install Windows 10
lmao

>>61966386
You can boot off them? That's pretty good.

I guess anything that really thrashes the hard drives hard will benefit from one, but not worth the expense over an SSD?

Fair enough. I've just been made a big offer, about 30% pay rise, so while not wanting to spend stupid money, I'd quite like to get a really good rig that lasts many years.

>>61967163
The usb stick is damaged then, if you already tried to use it on another device and it isn't recognized, trash it.
If it works on other systems, your windows 7 install is corrupted.

Does anyone have that chart to install and configure TOR?

>>61966332
Nah, turned out it was qbittorrent not being updated.
