Do any of you niggers use Cytube plus on Cytube at all?

What happened with Firefox?

>>62252940
Mozilla finally realized their mobile OS was never going to happen, and stopped putting most of their resources into it. Then somebody there said "Oh shit, we have browser!" And they've been "fixing it" ever since.

They've saved the best surprise for November.

I run linux on a laptop and connect it to my 40 inch screen to watch movies, and to browse the chans.
>>62252925
I use flat screen for cytube.

Since my flat screen tv is a distance from the couch I increased the font size for readability.

When I take my laptop on the road and only use the laptop screen, I have to undoo all the font size increases.

Is there a easy way to switch between profiles? I though of creating a new user just for movies, but then the issue of Home directories comes up. My home is encrypted.

Anyone know if there is a application or setting that if the laptop is connected to flat screen 40 inch sammy, to have big fonts etc, but if just the laptop screen is used, default font size?

How do I turn my laptop into a home server?
Basically, I just want it so that I can access my chinese cartoons on my other laptop without using a separate HDD to transfer it.
Also, can I put a password on it? Since it would be a home network, I don't want people in my house viewing my private stuff.

>>62253107
ubuntu server. if the storage drive is ntfs, samba, if ext*, ftp

>>62253107
All you need to do is click on a folder and select "share this"
Everything else is self explaining.

If I move my pics folder to NAS storage:
- is there any good way to be able to assign directory icons in a way that different linux, windows, and mac clients could all pick up?
- can client-side thumbnailing key off server-maintained file SHAs etc. in linux, windows, and/or mac in such a manner that the client cache (re)generation is somewhat fast?

I built a new rig a few weeks ago.

On two occasions all the peripherals (monitor ect) turn off, the pc sounds like it turns off but it stay on. Keeping the power key down does nothing, so I have to switch it off at the back.

What I have I done wrong? The PSU is 6 years old, but it showed no signs of failing on my previous rig, plus it has more than enough power. Should I just bite the bullet and buy a new one? Or could it be the motherboard? I have no idea.

In extend mode (windows 10), is there any way to only enable audio associated with the active display?

>>62253250
Unless you use a media server type thing, none of this is cross platform.
Kodi,plex, or even just a basic dlna server is what you are looking for

Hey /g/. Total Chad here.
This saturday me and a few friends are going to throw a small party in a roof. We're going to use my pc to handle music playing and other stuff. Like, there's going to be a small super smash bros tourney, and one of the guys has a ddr mat to plug.
Sadly nobody has a cheap disposable laptop to use, so we're left with this.
The question is, how do I insulate the pc as best as possible? I thought of wrapping it in a big plastic bag. Any other ideas?

>>62252940
They made an update out of nowhere that broke sound on several distros (contact your admin to install unwanted new packages today!) for basically no reason. Then they decided to kill every addon ever written before 2017, so that any addon NOT built from the ground up in the last few months will stop working when you update to firefox 57 this November. And they've replaced their old addon system (one of their top selling points) with a new one that neuters the fuck out of addons, and doesn't let them do half the shit the old ones could, unless the mozilla team decides to write a custom api for the addon. The kicker? It's only weeks away and only about 10% of the addons have even been converted. Most never will.

>>62253499

Do not do anything that blocks your PC's vents. That shit's gotta breathe. I'd say best you can do is put it away in a desk or something, and run peripherals to it. Peripherals are cheap as fuck, even wireless ones. Now you just have to watch out for the screen/tv.

How do I edit an ICC profile for my monitor? I found one I like but I just want to up the gamma a tiny bit. My monitor has no inbuilt way of editing the colours.

>>62253646
How do you mean?

It's one of those cheap Korean 1440p ones, the only things it has is volume up and down and brightness adjustment.

>>62253637
If you're trying to let people fuck around with music at a party, a keyboard and mouse are a godsend

>>62253676
And by brightness I mean the backlight brightness, not the colour brightness.

Check your manual for calibration menus. Also some come with special software that will let you change things up from the PC. You can probably tweak it a bit, but a high quality tweaking usually requires getting your hands on a digital celebrator.

>>62253722
>>62253723
Forgot to mention. It's for coding.

>>62253698
Your bush. That's the outfit you'll finish the night with.

>>62253734
>Check your manual for calibration menus
Wha?

>Also some come with special software that will let you change things up from the PC
It definitely doesn't, it's just a Samsung panel someone stuck to a stand and some speakers.

I'm not trying to do any photo editing or anything important on it where I need perfect colours, it's just for games. I just need it a tiny bit brighter because it loses gamma the higher you push the overclock on it, and it's a bit too dark where it is.

>>62253846
>Wha?

[The model number of your shit] + [What you want to figure out about your shit] + [Google]

This is the formula that solves 90% of the problems on here. So if someone says use a manual to find out about calibration, your next step should be watching your fingers type in "manual" "<dat model number>" "calibration" and "thank you google".

Try this literally every time you want to do something specific to your shit.

Is there a good lightweight program for trimming videos? I just want to throw it in, trim it, and have it output the exact same format. Every one I try wants me to fuck around with the output settings. I just want it to go in and out with the same file format, codec, frame rate, resolution, and bit rate, but just trimmed to where I want it.

How much of a performance hit would two monitors make if one was just like web or performance monitoring stuff? I would think there would be additional vram usage but if it was just a static web page not much else

Alright, what's your model number?

>>62254260
I'm really not sure how it helps, the issue isn't specific to a monitor.

The monitor is a Qnix QX2710.

That's cold, holmes.

what are some easy ways to get my computer to run hotter?
I'm on an FX/R9 build, so producing a lot of heat shouldn't be too hard, but are there any lightweight (small file size, quick to start, obviously not light in resource usage) applications that utilize gpu and cpu for that purpose? or will I have to run a videogame instead?

>>62254655
Why?

What program should I use to manage my GPU and CPU fans? Ever since I got an MSI 580x my computer has been loud as fuck not even under load, the thermals are fine so I want to slow down my fans but I don't know if I have to go into the BIOS to do that.

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm#install

Ideally you'd use software specifically paired with a physical calibrator. If you don't have that you can use whatever came with your GPU or a third party windows calibrator. And if you can't be arced to do that, use the windows calibrator itself.

Can anyone provide me a guide or let me know how to get kmozillahelper working with firefox manually? For anyone unfamiliar, it's what allows you to use a Dolphin window as your file picker in Firefox (pic related).

I've been using Manjaro KDE since it already has this set up with their firefox-kde package. However, if I simply install the plasma desktop, firefox and kmozillahelper on another distro, it doesn't just start working understandably. There has to be some other steps the Manjaro team does to get this working, but I can't figure out how to do it. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!

Any way to change .css of an epub to display text vertically in a broser?
Using

Conversely, I need a FF epub reader that has vertical text support (I tried all I could find though and no luck there).

The first one checks the condition before adding. The 2nd one checks the conditon after adding. Either way, you would need to do count++ after your println() in order to get 0 printed, as both of them are adding before your lrintln() is reached.

I have a partition on an HDD that is 499MB in size and is labeled "diag". Got this from a thinkpad I bought and the previous owner had Windows 7 but did that "free" upgrade deal. Can I delete this, or is worth keeping? Getting mixed signals when I look it up.

is this good for you?

>>62257890
Which part? They've given "reasons" for everything, but everything they do still feels like decisions secretly being outsourced to middleschoolers as a class project. The linux thing was because they didn't want to bother supporting an audio package loads of people rely on, and they didn't warn anybody because I guess they thought a surprise would be fun? The addon thing... is complex. They're betting that people don't really care about a lot of the shit addons do, so they'd be willing to part with them for a browser that's easier to maintain. Maybe in the long run that'll be true. But they're sure putting people through a lot of shit this year, and it's real hard to say how well any of this will turn out. A lot of top addons have gone extinct because there's literally no way to do what they did in the new firefox (i.e. Downloadthemall)

Is there any way to confine your cursor to the active display in a multi-monitor setup?

The specs would be, but I'm looking for an established company, preferably witth a record of good uptime. I'm renting a different server from a friend's startup company for a different purpose, but the NIC shuts off every hour on the hour (I've "fixed" this with a bash script) and it had been down for a bit for migration. Fine for a game server, but I'd want an email server to be more stable.

>>62258349
What I'm saying that this could cause a huge chunk of their users to abandon ship, to the point that there's not enough resources to support development. All the down stream shit is affected if the upstream goes under. Or people could shrug and get over it. I guess we'll find out why people really use firefox. Waterfox has apparently committed to supporting addons as long as possible, but they don't have the resources to do a hard fork if FF changes too much. For now the easiest thing to do is switch to firefox ESR. It only receives security updates, and doesn't get 57's bs until july.

Ubuntu is the right place for most users. If you start figuring shit out and wanna see what debian's about, go for it. But aside from epeen and the deep sexual love of 100% open source, there's no reason for most people to go with debian when ubuntu makes shit so convenient.

Not really so much that its better to have a native compiler, it just that it comes with nearly every unix-like system, its free, open-source, tends to be faster. So much less hassle to setup and you have limitless support. With something like visual studio on windows, you have to fork out a good bit and its proprietary.

If you already have the hard drive, I don't see nothing wrong with being able to run linux off it assuming you can boot from it.

If your hands are on home row and you're typing without looking, that's about as much "touch-typing" as you're gonna get.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding; I'm not sure how one would "hunt-and-peck" without looking at the keyboard. If you mean you have to stop and try to remember where the next key is, then just practice more.

I just had an increwdibly genius idea guys


WHAT IF someone made an "encrypted image viewer"? Something that converts your image (in various formats) into a jumbled bunch of pixels (so if it's opened in another image viewer, it looks like that).

But if you view it through this image viewer, it fixes it and displays the image correctly.

Perfect for sending secret messages or, I know you know it, hentai on your hard drive. No longer necessary to keep it in a "don't go here mom!" hidden folder under a password.
