>>2879 >How difficult would it be to take a live .iso for say, Void Linux, tweak it so that it comes with certain software pre-installed & other modifications to get rid of any pozz like Network Manager, make that a new live .iso that could install the distro? It would be pretty easy. All those programs do is turn your current install into a live cd/usb. To do what you're saying, you would just install void, tweak the software how you want, then use one of those programs to make your live usb. There shouldn't be any hardware compatibility problems that weren't already there. Most precompiled distros ship with a very generic kernel, and unless you compile a custom kernel yourself, that's the kernel your live distro will use.

Is there a way to stream audio from a server to multiple clients while keeping them all in sync? Everything I've tried so far has all of them slightly off.

Anonymous 06/01/2020 (Mon) 16:40:58 No.2898

>>2897 I think you'd have to write an algorithm that accepts a 'start time' sequencing command from the server and then begins playback at that exact instant. you'd want to buffer up plenty of stream data beforehand ofc, and make sure all the clients are both using a reliable time server and probably want to handshake with them to confirm they're all ready & buffered up before sending the start timing. Good luck.

Does RADV support Vulkan 1.2 on AMD Hawaii GPUs? It only exposes Vulkan 1.1 on my machine.

I want a simple page to search for files with tracker (the thing used in gnome). So far I have:


::::::::::::::
index.html
::::::::::::::
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
body {
        margin:4em auto;
        text-align:center;
}
input {
        width: 50%;
}
.res {
        width: 6em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form
        action="se.php"
        method="post">
<input
        type="search"
        placeholder='Tracker search'
        autofocus>
<input
        type="reset"
        class="res">
</form>
</body>
</html>
::::::::::::::
se.php
::::::::::::::
<?php
$output = shell_exec('tracker search');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>

It works as expected if shell_exec('ls'); or if I do: $ php se.php

Usage:
  tracker search [OPTION…] EXPRESSION

Help Options:
  -h, --help                Show help options

But returns a blank page from the html. What do?

I need a new phone. What's something that requires minimal effort to install TWRP/LineageOS? I really hate fucking around with smartphones and just want to call/text and use a handfull of apps. I'm on Verizon, so a Librem won't work. I'm not against a flip phone if anyone has any recommendations on those.

>>2903 As which user is your web server running? Can it even find tracker if you execute "which tracker"? And if you need more debug info, use something like exec("/bin/sh tracker search", $lines, $status); var_dump($status, $lines);

Its been years that I kept up with any /tech/ stuff and now I am looking into buying an old laptop to play around with some older stuff. I remember darkly that some year ago it came out that certain Intel CPUs of a certain generation a flaw/were compromised and mashines with them shouldn't be brought. Which Intel CPUs are effected and what is the problem? Which old Intel CPUs are safe to buy?

Hello /tech/. I'm looking for a simple tablet to watch episodes of anime on and occasionally read some scanlations on. It doesn't need to connect to the internet or anything, it basically just has to serve as a portable screen I can load files on to. I have a very old iPad I haven't updated in years, is it possible to convert that to serve my purposes? Or will I need to fuck around with a cheap Android tablet to get it done?

If apple is still supporting it with iOS updates, you're better off selling it because it's pretty much worthless but retards will pay good money for anything with an apple logo, especially if it's still supported. Use the money to buy some meme like a pinetab or buy a microsoft surface and install linux.

>>3114 >What model of iPad? 4th Generation iPad. After a quick search, it doesn't seem like Apple supports the base 4th gen anymore, only the "Air" version. PineTab seems interesting given its price, but I'd have to start running some price comparisons.

Anonymous 11/03/2020 (Tue) 04:20:21 No.3126

>>3125 Gen 4 iPad runs iOS 10.3.3 which is pretty out of date but you might still be able to get a retard to buy it, people who buy apple products don't understand shit like planned obsolescence, EOL, and probably don't understand that the operating system doesn't receive updates anymore. If you want to jailbreak (I don't know what kind of software cydia might get you) this is apparently what you need for 4th gen iPad. https://h3lix.tihmstar.net/ With that being said, I wouldn't even bother doing it, I'd just reset it to factory and try to sell the thing. I'm not into tablets and wouldn't buy one for any reason but if I had to I'd probably go with MS surface, run me_cleaner and install whatever distro has the best support (apparently that would be ubuntu from what I understand).

Anonymous 11/03/2020 (Tue) 04:29:30 No.3127

>>3125 Also to answer your original question as to whether or not your iPad could work as a portable media player for on-the-go hentai and public masturbation, yes. I don't really know shit about iOS but I think this is handled through iTunes, which is proprietary and only supports proprietary OS (OSX and Windows). You might have luck with Wine. It should work, but you will look like a nigger. It's up to decide if it's worth looking like a nigger.
