I need something portable to read PDFs with that can take a yuge microsd card. What's my best option

>>75
A phone if your eyes are good enough.

are there any SBC that are foss? if there isnt i guess i could buy one from olimex
also, any good place i could buy the x200 tablet? i was going to buy it in link related, but after reading shit from the site, i realize that the owner is a fucking mentally ill tranny
https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-x200-tablet/

>>100
I use the one on the right, it doesn't require non-free software, headless at least. You can also use it to flash Libreboot too.

>>107
any recommendation from olimex? im trying to build a small touchscreen device to read mangos and shitpost when i want to be comfy on my bed.

>>108
Use https://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page to read more about Allwinner boards.

I use the OLinuXino A20 Micro, with an USB wifi adapter (ath9k_htc driver), which is supported by Debian https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner
I don't know about touchscreen and X but it apparently can be done https://www.olimex.com/wiki/How_to_use_15_inch_touchscreens.

If you care you can completely encrypt disk and boot using https://linux-sunxi.org/FEL/USBBoot, which needs another computer to store your initrd and vmlinuz or keep an unencrypted /boot.

I would upgrade to the A64 or A33 but they have no SATA port. Also all of them seem to be unnafected by spectre and meltdown and use a Mali GPU instead of a PowerVR one.

Oh, and be sure to get the UART adapter.

>>111
Thanks for the info anon.

what are the options for a mobile OS that doesnt have google shit installed in it for a galaxy tab s4?

can you post pics of that one?

Someone just gave me an Ipad Air(1st gen Wifi model) and asked me to get rid of the code lock on it, after a bit of research I figured out that my only three options were replacing a memory chip on the board to change the serial number, buy a new logic board with that isn't locked to an iCloud account or use a DNS bypass during activation but that has less functionality for use.

Does anyone know where the jailbreaking community for Apple devices is on the net? Or any experience and advice to give me on this topic?

Depends on what kind of pdfs really, if it's mostly black and white text then find a cheap ereader that you can root and install a decent OS on it.

Otherwise I'd go with an older phablet that can run /e/ or LineageOS.

>>116
>/e/
what's that?

>>117
a lineageos reskin which the makers pretend they have done from the ground up, like all these custom roms.

>>118
ah, i see. thanks anon.

Has IPFS made any progress in the last 6 months or are they still dragging their feet?

>>118
Isn't LineageOS just a reskin of CyanogenMod then? And Replicant can be considered the same with non free code removed.

As long as they host their own packages it should be considered similar to the distro situation in the GNU/Linux world. The only reason why I'd recommend anything but official Android is to use a pure version of mPDF without any bloat in the OS.

What the hell is a .mpdf file, and how am I supposed to convert it into .pdf?

Im actually waiting for that shit to launch and see if it gets the nufsf seal of approval, also the pinetab and pinephone is coming out, wonder how shitty they are going to be.

>>216
It's clearly stated that the wifi doesn't work on their page and they have links to libre wifi adapters that you can plug in through the USB port. With one that's small enough and by soldering a micro USB port on it you'd have a decent solution.

Or you can just reinstall it with the nonfree wifi code included. I was going to go with Replicant but decided against it when I saw how much trouble that was going to be, also they don't support the Lima driver for the Mali GPU yet so it's doing software rendering.

>>218
It is available for LineageOS but it's not currently supported as it's so old.

In fact all that Replicant is the FSF taking LineageOS and removing nonfree code.

Excuse the nigger in the video but the nignog is right.

>>258
They're misguided. What they want is any small monitor with low resolution and high refresh rate. The only monitor they could find though was a CRT. All small, low-res monitors are shitty cheap ones with ghosting and muted colors and all monitors with a high refresh rate are huge 4K LCDs where you can choose to either see stretched pixels or no rendering details.

PS2 games look like shit regardless. The best a CRT can do is fuel your nostalgia so you accept that it all looks like crap. Be sure to get an old 15" TV.
Or trash your PS2 and play on PCSX2 instead. It's a tradeoff between "can't see shit" and "can see it's shit".

>>258
>>263
They aren't wrong. My high refresh rate LCD is really good but even one of my cheapo CRTs will always beat it when it comes to blacks, blur, and refresh rates. I wish they'd stop telling normalfags about CRTs because the prices just keep going up and up with so many of them jumping on the retro bandwagon. The only saving grace is maybe the fad will get enough normalfags behind it that someone will start producing new CRTs again. Old CRTs are in short supply now and they all have a limited life span. At some point there won't be any parts around to keep current ones going.

I wish there were more 16:10 CRTs in circulation. I haven't been able to source one locally and I'm not going to pay to have something like that shipped in. Right now I have a bunch of CRT monitors I saved from the trash. I keep a 24 inch CRT hooked up to my main PC as an extra monitor. It's nice to have it in the mix for when I run older games. I'm trying to find something CRT around the same size to mount above it right now.

>>267
>The only saving grace is maybe the fad will get enough normalfags behind it that someone will start producing new CRTs again.
We can dream anon, but we both know this isn't happening why even live anymore

I apologize in advance for bothering you with a troubleshooting inquiry, but it's just this shit makes zero sense to me. It's a problem with my internet connection that so far I have no idea where it's coming from and no clue as to how to deal with it. Here's what I have observed in the few days I've been dealing with it:
>My connection peters out almost instantly, except not quite. To elaborate, I can't access any new webpages through my browser except sometimes Google and YouTube (I tested it)
>signal strength display shows no problems, appears "Limited" very infrequently
>resetting my router and flushing the DNS hasn't yielded results besides brief moments of false hope
>According to my browser it's a time-out error, though sometimes it says it can't resolve DNS
>For some reason I can't fathom, it has a more or less specific schedule. My connection always shits the bed at around 7 pm and comes back at around midnight. This is by far the most baffling thing about it.
What do you think the problem might be? What can I do to find the root of the problem and solve it once and for all?

>>282
Does it work just fine over a wired ethernet connection?

>>282
What does your the web interface of your router say about your internet connection? Have you made sure the connection itself works?
If so, what does it say about the dns?

>>283
God damn it I forgot to mention that, but yes. It works like a charm.

>>284
Zero problem on the former, so it should work on paper. As for the latter, I suspect it's a DNS issue but I'm not sure where to look.

>>286
Maybe try wireshark and see if the DNS requests get a response, or TCP connections for that matter.

If it's a DNS issue in your router, you should get results from using a VPN, using an alternate DNS provider like jewgle's 8.8.4.4 or using tor.

>>282
Signal strength is not the only relevant measurement, the noise floor also affect throughput but WLAN adapters usually cannot measure the noise floor.
So it is possible that some other device that is only being used in that time interval is adding noise enough to make your connection unusable. Considering the time, it's likely a neighbor using another wireless network after work. Does the affected time change on weekends?
Try scanning for other networks then changing your channel to something far away from the other networks. Also try moving your WAP.

>>301
The fact that he can access google/youtube implies it might be on the ISP's end. 7pm-midnight would be prime time for most locations since people are off work and watching streaming services. Google keeps servers at most ISPs that mirror their content. If he can access youtube and google but nothing else it probably means he's only able to access content mirrored locally at the ISP and nothing is going beyond that hop.

Next time it does this try running a trace route or pinging something that isn't a google server and see what happens.

>>302
Could also try a full factory reset of the router. And do a network scan of surrounding networks and choose an unused channel.

Seagate or Western Digital?

Whatever is cheaper.

In those cases I usually just type the title or write something else entirely because Going Bananas with Burritos.pdf will not help me when I want to find that paper on van Laarhoven lenses.

How do I batch remove all script tags from a bunch of HTML files? Can HTTrack maybe even do it itself?

I've been running only Linux (Debian) for a while now, but I've got a spare hard drive kicking around and I've been thinking I'll install Win7 on it for times when Wine isn't working out.
A while ago I had been set up to dual boot between Windows and Linux, but that was starting with a Windows install and adding Linux on top. I've heard it takes some fiddling to get things working in the other direction, and on top of that I don't know what catches there might be for having it on a different drive. Should I just physically unplug all my drives except the one I'm installing to, install, reconnect the drives, and set boot priority in UEFI/BIOS? Do I need to do anything with grub?

Pardon my ignorance needing to ask such a basic question. I've never actually installed Windows before at all, never mind in a dual boot setup.

>>404
every successful multiboot i've ever managed 10+by now i imagine starts with installing Wangblows first, as it stomps anything else on the box.
>I've heard it takes some fiddling to get things working in the other direction
If some expert knows a different way, let them enlighten us all. This is what's worked for me repeatedly.

>>405
>as it stomps anything else on the box.
That's what I gathered, which is why my thought was that I should install it on a separate drive and leave the others all physically disconnected from everything, so even the bootloader can't possibly be touched.
My concern is whether it might still mess with anything once I plug those drives back in afterwards.

>>406
>My concern is whether it might still mess with anything once I plug those drives back in afterwards.
by 'it' i'm assuming you mean the copy of wangblows. it will certainly scan and catalog (and very likely send all the hashes back up to the mothership for upload to the 5-eyes (((agencies)))). but i can't recall 'it' actually damaging anything on an external. yes, unplugging is a good idea during all installations, even the linux ones anon.

>>405
Only on MBR. Windows assumes normal EFI boot on a GPT formatted drive and you can install OS in any order you choose.

t. installed Linux first on GPT, works on my machine

>>408
Spoonfeed us a walkthrough?

>>408
Just keep in mind that the common Windows 7 loader everyone uses to activate it doesn't work if you install it in UEFI mode.

test

>>409
Just set up the partitions properly when installing your first system. Windows will to it automatically, obviously. If it's Linux, you can just let the distro autopartition for UEFI if it can. I had some trouble doing it manually at first, because you have to have a small unallocated sector at the very start of the drive and then a correctly formatted EFI partition right after. When the first OS is in place, even if you install Windows afterwards it won't erase your boot sector and will instead just add its own option alongside. Worst case scenario, you have to launch a system off USB and run grub-update once.

>>410
Didn't know that. Are you talking about Daz Loader?

How would you handle encryption on a linux home NAS? It would be best if it worked per user so the user's container will be mounted on access and dismounted when the user disconnects from the NAS. I imagine this to be a pain in the ass for backups and copy on write, it would probably hard or impossible to incrementally backup without decrypting everything in the process.

if i download shit from yt with youtube-dl can i get jewed?

>>484
define (((get jewed))). it's simply a downloader. the developer keeps it agile to constantly stay up to date with jewgle's intentional kikery intended to defeat it, but otherwise it's basically just a means to download the file to your machine. you do exactly the same when you watch a video on kiketube.

>>485
when i watch videos on yt there are ads and (((scripts))), do youtube-dl run these scripts and give up my privacy/anonymity? can it leak my location if i donwload over tor?>>485
>>485

>>498
i don't know the intricacies of all the hoops youtube-dl has to jump through today to retrieve a kiketube video anon. but one thing i feel i can guarantee you is that downloading a video using youtube-dl is more secure and private than doing so in a browswer. and sure, you should be able to torify ytdl connections, why not?

>>498
One other thing. Using youtube-dl with invidious at least puts one more layer between you and (((Jewgle))) anon.

>>498
There are options to use proxies built into youtube-dl. Very useful for archiving in case youtube cuts you off for sucking up too much of their bandwidth or for getting around region blocking.

I haven't watched anything on the youtube site in years thanks to my media players being able to stream their videos and youtube-dl letting me batch download everything I want and watch while offline.

>>500
No it doesn't as the video is still hosted on youtube's servers. All youtube-dl does is look at the video ID in the URL so using invidious makes no difference at all. If that site wasn't a placebo Google would have shut them out of using their service by now like they did with NicoNico awhile back.

>>499
>>500
>>505
i usually use the --proxy option but it doesn't work with invidious .onion address, i feel like it's somehow bypassing the proxy.

Btw, invidious got hacked recently.

>>498
youtube-dl cannot execute any Javascript because it has no interpreter for it. You can open up the python file from your install and look. What it does is parses the HTML page you get from opening the video URL and gets video information from its tags. In the specific case of Youtube, it also looks for specific <script> areas and uses regex to get media URLs from it. Last time I checked, this was all it did.

>>508
PhantomJS is a optional dependency, in some cases it might execute something. But yeah, i should take a look on the source even though it looks like gibberish for me

>>505

To put it plainly, I'm a paranoid fuck and have reason to suspect that my computer's being or has been tampered with while I'm away. I'm looking for ways to detect this as well as ways to prevent it. Currently just have a bogstandard password on it, but I'm looking to lock it down as much as possible.

I guess this extends to making sure my online activities can't be viewed by those also connected to the network if at all possible, because while they're my friends that doesn't essentially mean I have 100% faith in them nor have I any reason to.

BTW, Mint is a good platform, I like it. But tbh it's not really very lightweight for a small box. I think if you tried something like Manjaro using XFCE instead you'd have a smoother experience.

my question is pretty simple, how can DNS cause a error 502? it resolves but cause this error, why?

>>524
If the domain name is resolved into an address, then the DNS didn't generate any error.
502 is likely the HTTP error code and any code starting with 5 is a server error.

>>520
NetSurf (http://www.netsurf-browser.org/) or lynx/links? Or perhaps Gnu/Emacs?

>>528
i thought that too, but the weidest thing is that the only way i found to get rid of this error was changing DNS servers.

>>531
Maybe the previous DNS server was redirecting you to a different address than the expected one.
It's nothing strange for this to happen. Probably it was caused by some errors during the propagation of the updated record or the internal cache misbehaved somehow.

>>537
probably, now its fixed, thx anyways

How do you add pen tablet support for your program? Is there a good library or something? I didn't have success looking at Wacom's own pages.

Is it possible to completely remove the bloatware & spyware on windows 10? I have been thinking about either going with that, or back to windows 7 for a new machine.
If it is possible, would doing this be recommended for someone new to tech?

>>556
>Is it possible to completely remove the bloatware & spyware on windows 10?
Yes. It's called deinstallation.
>back to windows 7
That is the preferable way if you have to use jewdows.

>>556
>Is it possible to completely remove the bloatware & spyware on windows 10?
No. There's a bunch of hacks you can do that disable a few of the most egregrious data collection mechanisms until the next forced update but Shutitdowns 10 is the ultimate in commercial niggerspyware so such methods will at most mildly inconvinience glownigs.
If you're on a new machine as in, one with recent hardware then Win7 is certain to encounter driver issues what with it being less than 4 months from EOL, best install gentoo or some other free as in freedom operating system and have Wangblows run in a VM with GPU passthrough if it's really needed.

>>558
yeah because gentoo won't have any driver issues or insane config troubleshooting

>>558
Why are you trying to push gentoo on to newbies? Do you want him to hate you or something? Why would you do such a thing?

Get Debian, Arch or Ubuntu and then de-bloat those. Join a few chat places (IRC, retroshare, zeronet forums, whatever) that are made to help new linux users and go from there.

>>568
No, the Manjaro developers are incompetent, and it doesn't make sense to grab the packages from a rolling-release distro when you are building a stable distro (this practice leads inevitably to delayed upgrades.)
Also, Arch (or the AUR) isn't a killer feature. And actually, n00bs shouldn't even use AUR as the AUR "packages" are just shell scripts (in other words, the packages basically gets access to your computer because, if you are new to Gnu/Linux, then it's very unlikely that you understand shell scripts.)

>>574

It's better to dual-boot windows and Linux. You can try Linux with Virtual Box without touching your HDD/SSD (pls note that Virtual Box has worse performance than you would actually have)
https://www.virtualbox.org/
https://xubuntu.org/

>>627
this tbh
Also, MS backported at least some of the Botnet 10 spyware to Windows 7, and Windows was never very private anyway.

>>636
Is there a reason why not to use btrfs filesystem? I notice that the swapfile feature is now compatible with btrfs as long I'm using linux kernel >= 5.0. I kinda want the easy way to do backup with snapshot though. As for btrfs stability concern, I'm not using RAID or anything like that.

Btw that gpg Sakaki guide looks very neat indeed except in my part, I need to get an additional package for gpg hooks configuration. Thanks for the gentoo link anon.

>>636
If I was starting now I'd probably only run linux in a virtual box and not dual-boot. Dual-booting is annoying as fuck.

/throd. been doing this for years. good advice.

most distros offer an iso but not a tarball, how can i "install" any distro so i can chroot on them?

>>649
>offer an iso but not a tarball
that's a good thing, so that you don't have to go through the compiling process of the tarball.
>how can i "install" any distro so i can chroot on them?
You need to to boot the iso first by turning it into bootable distro in your thumb drive or burn it into empty cdrom disk. In Windows, there's program call rufus where you can do all that. After booting, depends on what kind of distro you've downloaded. The generous distro developer would include installer inside them. If there's no installer, you have to do the installation process manually.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide

>>656
ok, i will elaborate, i want to have the filesystem of any distro after installation in a subdirectory where i can chroot to, this way i dont need a vm for each distro, a tarball is basically the filesystem compressed, is there a method to get the filesystem of any distro or i will have to install from the iso and copy the filesystem to my subdirectory?>>656

>>659
No, a chroot is an operation that changes the apparent root directory that is from another root installed distro for your current root system. You cannot chroot into a tarball filesystem because that's not how it works. If you thinking of installing multiple distro in a same partition so that you can chroot onto them, there's a user that actually manage to adopt that kind of setup https://askubuntu.com/questions/405735/installing-multiple-linux-distros-in-a-single-partition

I personally wouldn't recommend doing so because it makes everything more complicated.

This is more of an ideaguy question, but how would you handle linking to tags in an imageboard?

Say threads can have tags, and you can browse/search threads by tag. So you need to be able to link to a tag in the current board, on a different board, and across all boards.

For example:
##sometag links to 'sometag' on the current board
###sometag links to 'sometag' on all boards
###/tech/sometag links to 'sometag' on /tech/ only

Would that be too inconsistent? Maybe you'd use ###/*/sometag to search across all boards, that would seem more consistent. But you'd probably want to use that so often that it would be beneficial to use just ###sometag and think of a different way to link to tag on a board. For example ###sometag@board or something.

Been stuck with windows 7 and seemingly there's alot of fuss about when they drop support for it, it would be a frenzy feed for hackers. Is this just normalfags blowing this out of proportions or is it this bad? If so is the LTSC version of win10 good enough?

It's hyperbolic, they capitulate on their shit all the time. They still do critical security updates for XP because organizations still use it. They're backporting DX12 to 7 when it was supposed be 10 only. Won't be a problem any time soon.

>>666
Well, there's two types of 'tags' in the context of your question, Satan.
1) JSON tags. These are common to all imageboards, and don't care what kind of media, etc. are involved.
For example:
{
"board_type" : "lynxchan",
"comment_tag" : "message",
"file_ext_tag" : "",
"file_hash_tag" : "",
"file_name_tag" : "path",
"file_orig_tag" : "originalName",
"files_arr_tag" : "files",
"last_bump_tag" : "lastBump",
"media_dir_tag" : "",
"op_replies_tag" : "posts",
"site_name" : "julay.world",
"subject_tag" : "subject",
"thread_id_tag" : "threadId"
}
These are tags that will occur in one variation or another in any imageboard. This example happens to be julay.world and the lynxchan software it relies on. Other boards will use other specifics for these same tags, but the general tag is the same. For example, 8kun and it's openib variant of vichan:
{
"board_type" : "openib",
"comment_tag" : "com",
"file_ext_tag" : "ext",
"file_hash_tag" : "md5",
"file_name_tag" : "tim",
"file_orig_tag" : "filename",
"files_arr_tag" : "extra_files",
"last_bump_tag" : "last_modified",
"media_dir_tag" : "file_store",
"op_replies_tag" : "posts",
"site_name" : "8kun.net",
"subject_tag" : "sub",
"thread_id_tag" : "no"
}
Same 13 general tags, different specifics right?

2) Content tags. These are entirely separate from JSON file tags, and require humans in general to make them. For, example "My Favorite Bathtime Gurgles", or "Funny Cat Gifs".

Anyone know a way to host/get a mumble server without exposing your IP? I've seen some sites that advertise free mumble servers, but are those really secure? I'd like to rid myself of botnet VOIP services.

>>692
>host [...] without exposing your IP
This is by design impossible.
People need an address to connect to your server, so no matter what you do an address must be known to everyone.
Even if you use a different address assigned to a machine that then forwards to the real server, that machine still has to know the address of the server.
Similarily, any client will have its address be publically known (to the server) because the server needs to know where to send data.

>>693
I figured as much. So are free mumble hosting services safe to use? Like https://www.imumble.nl/. I only need to have a handful of people (4-5 at most) in it so I'm not concerned with bandwidth, just security.

>>693
>by design impossible
normally, and on clearnet.
abnormally, you can use CloudFlare or similar. In this case visitors resolve your domain to a CloudFlare IP, they connect, and CloudFlare talks separately with your server, without exposing your IP. This is how CloudFlare actually protects anyone from DDOS attacks: the attackers don't know the IP to attack, and have to attack CloudFlare, which has the money to deal with the attacks.
CloudFlare probably isn't a good option for mumble though, unless it's voice-over-HTTPS.
and of course on the darknet you can get the exact same IP hiding through e.g. Tor hidden services, where connections to an .onion address are onion-routed to your real server, and real IPs are hidden in both directions.
again probably an annoyance for mumble hosting.
But if you want communications without exposing your IP, there are ways depending on your adversary.

>>574
>hide from analytics companies
use TorBrowser. analytics companies care about more than your IP, and TorBrowser tries a lot harder to secure you from that extra stuff.
>untrustworthy admins/mods
1. if the site doesn't block tor somehow, use TorBrowser or Brave Browser's built in tor support, or any browser with tor.
2. get some cheap VPSes and proxy requests through them. This gives you a number of identities to work with, but it's a hassle to recycle them (hosting companies will not go along with "hi I want a new IP for NO REASON").
3. use an unturstworthy VPN? even if it's a scam, if your main concern is site admins, as long as they proxy your traffic you're getting what you want.

What is the best anti virus program currently available?

If your using windows 10 I'm sure the default anti-virus is fine. If you're not using windows 10 than you should know better than to need one in the first place.

Why can't you just run a $3/mo VPS with https://hub.docker.com/r/rankenstein/mumble-web/ & https://hub.docker.com/r/jwilder/nginx-proxy/? Easy-peasy docker image with HTTPS.

From what information I see, mumble only needs ~512mb for ~50 users.

Here's some good VPS providers that would be more than enough in the $3-$5 range:

https://www.digitalocean.com/
https://www.vultr.com/

They also all have guides:

Are there any decent laptops still being made? I need a new one and don't want to buy something used.

>>765
There are a lot of problems buying laptops new. They aren't like standard PC's where individual parts can easily be replaced, fixed, or upgraded. So you're essentially buying something that's doomed to melt itself into hardware failure in ~5 years. Whereas at least if you buy used old shitty thinkpads it feels less like you've been scammed since they're so disposable and you can get another for $100-$200. If money isn't an issue I guess you can get one of those purism laptops, though they have absolute shit hardware for their price. But if you don't care about privacy or security I'd just go watch some jewtube videos about the best value laptop currently on the market. No one here is going to know enough about or recommend new modern laptops considering how anti-/tech/ culture they often are with the botnet and nu-features they have.

https://invidio.us/watch?v=aaNYr5sLZiY
Here's some video that seems to cover most of the bases, and it's very recent.

>>765
No.

>>765
go with System76.
+ coreboot
+ disabled intel shit
+ tends to work with BSD
+ expandable & maintainable
+ sometimes pretty stylish (last generation 17" Oryx Pro is a beaut)
+ good support
+ Pop_OS! ain't bad
- generic (their manufacturer sells the same shit for less to other people)
- you'll probably need the support (always had a high rate of failures with them)
- they have the disgusting diversity-hugging-each-other logo on the windows key
- you could've just bought a refurbished ThinkPad
- Dell XPS is pretty nice as well
- HP laptops always work well with Linux for me and are the most beautiful stuff on the market
system76 desktops look alright as well.

>>765
Just wait for the PPC notebook to come out, it should only take another 3-4 years. Less if the OpenPOWER Foundation throws some money at it to promote the ISA.

>>766
Should I just get a thinkpad then? I don't care about ultra thin shit I just want something I can run OpenBSD/Gentoo on. I need a laptop for fixing shit when I'm away from home and my last one melted itself.

>>769
I need it now not in 10 years.

>>773
Depends on what you want to do with it like I said. If you want to do basic shit and don't need powerful hardware the consensus among most people is to deal hunt on ebay for a used thinkpad. If you're asking about new thinkpads? Compared to other modern laptops they're kind of just the same, except with better keyboards. Though I've never owned a modern laptop and that's just me regurgitating what I've heard people say in jewtube videos. I don't really feel comfortable giving direct recommendations to someone spending hundreds of dollars, so since you're hardly explaining the daily use case I'd say just do your own research on various products.

Is there a place where a beginner can learn to code, but its made fun? Or at the very least, a very good tutorialTrying to learn Java so bare with me

Thanks

Why are there literally ZERO decent TKL membrane keyboards on the market? It's insane. The one I happened to find for a good price on ebay ended up being pretty shit with inconsistent key presses and keys getting stuck. It's virtually impossible to find a well made, wired, TKL membrane keyboard. Meanwhile it's also virtually impossible to find a reasonably priced MX Clear switch board, which is the closest you can get to a membrane. This is some fucking bullshit.

Due to the chicom backing of Nvidia I'm forced to switch to it from AMD to play UE4 games. What's the best value for playing VR right now? I'm looking for a card powerful enough to handle the index at decent settings.

>>804
Currently the Radeon 5700 XT is the highest end from AMD. Make sure you get one without a blower cooler, as there's issues with noise and heat. I've seen some good deals at Micro Center, where dual-fan 5700 XTs cost around $360. If you want to save even more money, get a 5700 with a BIOS switch like the Sapphire Pulse or the Powercolor Red Dragon, and then flash a 5700 XT BIOS for higher performance.

>>808
That is a rather informative post but I want to get an nvidia card so I can play games. Looking at the 2060/70s.

Are there any decent ways to host simple html/CSS/js content for free?

I want to make my own "homepage" of sorts where I can put shit into, but hosting my own server is not viable and I don't want to throw around my personal information through paying. All I really need is a static file host that allows directly viewing the files (instead of downloading them), and the ability to modify them. All the "free website" websites want to shove some template editor at you, and I don't want that shit, I want to edit the raw html or at the very minimum inject css/javascript into it (since with javascript you can just replace the whole page with anything if you want so it can serve the desired effect).

>>813
Also before these get mentioned; Github captcha is broken so I can't make an account, Gitlab uses google captcha so I can't make an account, Netlify wants me to use some botnet email instead of my own so I can't make an account.

>>814
don't use SJWhub anyway, anon. Use gitgud.io or gitlab.com

>>815
Gitgud doesn't allow hosting pages from what I can tell so it's not valid in this context.

>>813
infinityfree.net
The only limitations are that a single file can't be larget than 20MB or something and you have a maximum of 50000 hits per day. You can use either their online file manager or FTP to get your files to your website, and I dont think they even have a template editor. There's also no ads or trackers injected into your site.

>>817
Uses google captcha. I'm starting to remember why I don't use anything on the internet anymore besides imageboards.

I wanna start writing down a tabletop RPG system, but I am not sure what to use. My initial idea was to use org-mode, but, despite what the org-mode fanboys say, it seems to be not so good for literate writing, due to linewrap fuckery (I know that can be disabled, it's just that the default behaviour is there for a reason). Now, I'm thinking about using QOwnNotes to make the draft, then maybe use Scribus to lay it down nicely once I'm done.
Can anyone convince me org-mode can be comfier than a WYSIWYG program? I know org-mode is way more powerful, but I'm not sure I need all of that.

>>818
surge.sh maybe?
I haven't used that but apparently the entire process of signing up and uploading your website works completely throught the command line, so I doubt they have google captcha

>>820
Looks very interesting. It requires bloat.js because for some reason it's too hard to make even a command line program for uploading files without it nowadays, but I'm willing to deal with that if the program works as easily as advertised.

>>813
How about neocities.org? The guy who runs spyware.neocities.org seems to have custom html.

I fiddled around with surge.sh for a bit and it does indeed seem to be just as easy as advertised. Just navigate to a folder with your shit in it, and then call surge. It asks you to make an account, which only requires email and password and nothing else. It suggests a random subdomain by default, but you can change it to whatever.
Visit my amazing page: http://tsun.surge.sh/

Only problem is that it doesn't seem to allow modifying an individual file, so you either reupload literally everything every time or nothing.

>>823
Uses google captcha. I'd rather give up than ever allow it to run on my computer.

Which Thinkpad is good for casual use? Just planning to use it for tinkering in Linux, playing XP/Vista tier games like elona+ and fortune summoners, and writing docs.

Also any linux distro recommendations? I was looking towards manjaro or opensuse, are any of those easy to deal with.

>>830
>are any of those easy to deal with.
If you're a linux newb, there is only one answer to that question: Ubuntu.

It's geared explicitly for newfags and has by far the largest community around it. But in a similar fashion to Wangblows it's also loaded with botnet by the company packaging it Canonical. So plan to move on to something better like Manjaro then Gentoo within six months anon.

>>830
If you're going for something newer, I'd recommend a Dell Latitude over a thinkpad. I've had a few of the newer ones and struggled with driver issues the whole time, while I've never had any issues out of the box with a Dell.

>>833
Not a total newbie, but the laptop I had previously was garbage and kept shutting down and acting weird for some reason. Too cheap of am laptop to buy a new battery, might as well buy a new one.

>>836
Thanks for the info. Does the Dell laptop have the same or similar build quality to older thinkpads? And I wasn't planning to get the new macbook look a like thinkpads, I was planning to get the older refurbished and used models like the T or X series.

>>838
Latitudes are the enterprise model, so good build quality, easy to repair, and can be found cheap on eBay. The new-ish thinkpads that I had were a T440 and A-something, both had plenty of driver issues on Linux.

>>839
Wow that's pretty weird. Aren't thinkpads renowned for their compatibility with most distros?

>>844
The IBM thinkpads are, but those are over a decade old at this point.

>>838
>the laptop I had previously was garbage and kept shutting down and acting weird for some reason
Was it a hardware problem?
My current laptop would do something like that: when it first happened it was something like 3 or 4 months after I bought it so I still had the warranty; I brought it to the shop where I bought it so they could fix it or something. They told me it was the disk that broke, but after they changed it it still happened after a couple of weeks.
It turns out the problem was that the disk controller is not part of the motherboard, but it's a separate piece connected to the motherboard with an extremely small connector; needless to say, the tiniest movement would "unalign" (for a lack of a better term) the connector, essentially disconnecting the disk from the motherboard.
The solution was to swap the CD reader with the HDD.

>>846
I really don't know what it was, but it was most likely a hardware problem. Didn't care anyways since its a cheap laptop from Walmart that my mother gave to me. Processor only ran at 1.6 GHz max.

>>854
It's collecting data about you every time you use it. It's like the facebook like button where if you don't block it you're basically handing them your entire browser history. It's also used to train AI, that's why it asks you to identify things like signs.

>>854
You become another stat in google analytics and train their self driving car AI with photos from their global spy network aka google streetview.
Oh and remember the old recaptcha with 2 words? Those were taken from scanned books and you were digitising them for sale on google books.

>website starts loading
>it's a solid white square
What's the point of a dark theme if websites are blindingly white when loading? How can I make websites not blindingly white when loading on chromium?

>>854
Besides what other anons said, the purpose (at least on the surface) of google captcha is to detect whether you're a bot or not. It's one of the most likely surfaces for analyzing all kinds of information about you and connecting it to other information that google knows about you. Since you're most likely registering an account, it will also be able to read all the information in the registration form including your email and username (unless you create new random ones just for that form). In the case of making a post in imageboards, it can possibly read what you're about to post.

But primarily it's become a principle. I don't really think "I don't want to be tracked by this" anymore, I just refuse to take part in a giant global spying corporation injecting itself into everything. If you put that shit into your website then I'm not using your website, period.

>>860
Forgot to mention that google is evil in more ways than spying. Censoring information/videos and manipulating search results is something they do all the time.

They also push leftist agendas through censorship and more visibly through the google logo header. They often put insignificant nonwhites into the google logo image, yet neglect much more significant accomplishments by whites. And there was that recent-ish space related event where the google header had almost no white people in it even though basically everyone related to it was white. Youtube logo that sticks to the top of the screen often has all kinds of gay pride flags and shit in it as well. Youtubers in general have had issues for a long time with unresponsive and unethical behavior by google, and again preferring to put nonwhites and women into their yearly recap videos instead of people/events that were much bigger but involved white people.

How do you use ffprobe/ffmpeg to detect if a video is playable on the web? What should you be looking for? Should you whitelist properties or blacklist them?

You're better off trying opening it with a web browser.

>>921
I'm trying to filter uploads from people into a server.

>>922
Then stick to a selected few combination of audio/video encodings.
For example refuse anything but VP8+Vorbis (the old webm combination.)
If you look at the output of ffprobe you'll see it labels some fields: just use grep on the labels and then examine the resulting string for the actual encoding.
It's not really foolproof but it works.

>>924
>stick to a selected few combination of audio/video encodings.
That's gay. I want to do the exact opposite; support as many videos as possible for most browsers. I just don't know what I should be aiming for with that goal in mind, what formats and settings I should be filtering by.

>>925
>I just don't know what I should be aiming for with that goal in mind, what formats and settings I should be filtering by.
Exactly.
The only thing you can do is set a whitelist and expand it as browsers support more formats.

>>999
ive heard its better to stick with one platter drives. WD blues and the like. less moving parts, less to go wrong. also might be good to run badblocks to make sure your drives last as long as possible.
man there was an 8chan anon who told me about this, he could have helped you more.
theres a windows alternative to badblocks called spinrite, i can get the infohash i used (77712328ad30e1fd49d01ffb2cdd13a4f55ac383). you can apparently run badblocks with windows with Cygwin, but i dont know anything about that

>>1003
I actually already have one WD Caviar Blue right now, but it's been used 24/7 by me for a quite long time now and I fear that it won't last any much longer. The case is that WD doesn't produce good Blue HDDs anymore that have the capacity above 1 TB, which sucks. Badblocks, got it. I'll install it on my live Linux iso then do the badblocks -w option to test it. I have last one question for you: do you think buying an external HDD, alongside SATA III SSD is a good idea?

>>999
Check out Backblaze's drive statistics for some statistically relevant failure rates.
Aside from that I'd say that no particular HDD will stand above two striped drives in terms of redundancy.

from what ive seen an external hdd is just a regular hdd with a special sata adapter. im not sure if drive quality would be better (im thinking that companies would use the portability aspect as the selling point, thus skimping out on drive quality for more profit), but i could just be paranoid.
for me, i havent had any problems with games loading from an hdd, but if its cheap and fits in your case well, then i dont see why you shouldnt go for an SSD. also badblocks has a destructive and non destructive mode. the latter is for drives with stuff on em, the former is better for breaking in newer drives. im sure theres a badblocks guide somewere

>>1029
Works great, thank you

WD Easystores are literally WD Reds in an external case and $100 cheaper. It's pretty common to buy them for NAS setups.

Why won't my IP address change even though it's dynamic? Resetting the router doesn't work, using command prompts doesn't work, nothing fucking works. The only thing I haven't tried yet is changing the router's settings because it won't log in even though I'm using the exact password that was given.

>>1044
Depends on your ISP. Sometimes new IP's aren't assigned to you unless you've left your router turned off for 10-60 minutes.

>>1044
Change the MAC address on the router or modem then power cycle it.

I did cryptsetup close before unmounting. The partition was opened with gnupg.

In Windows command prompt, how do you enter the directory that a shortcut (.lnk) points to?

This is literally impossible to google. If you try to cd into it, it won't work. If you try to cd into it without the extension, it also won't work. If you just type 'shortcut.lnk', it opens an explorer window.

>>1095
Short answer, what you want is impossible because .lnk files aren't any kind of link it's stupid windows fuckery.

>>1096
God dammit. There has to be some easier way to go to common folders than typing them manually or creating separate command prompts.
Thanks for the answer though, I hate that "shortcut" also means keyboard shortcuts and every other word is even more generic so all the search results are useless.

>>1097
Fuck, right as I typed this out I realized I could just make a bat file with the cd command. That works.

Meta question: does /tech/ consider Libbie its mascot? I know she wasn't made for this board, but following the LibreOffice disaster she's gained some affinity here. I've just never heard it explicitly said one way or the other, so I'd like to get some opinions on the matter.

I doubt anyone would recommend VPN's they personally use since it means they're IP's are more likely to get banned on imageboards and what not. I would just apply some general rules like if it has a massive marketing budget it should probably be avoided, so things like PIA or NordVPN are probably bad ideas.

i was watching my internet traffic through nethogs and just see a suspicious outgoing request. Checked it and shit is Google. Why would my debian linux i3wm computer sends data to Google?

>>1166 Plenty of modern internet-related (though usually dealing with the web) software regularily sends data to servers effectively owned by Google, e.g. through some 3rd party service that relies on some other service offered by Google. Usually this is advertised as "gathering data to improve the software", but ultimately they are just sending a bunch of data to Google. You should check each and every one of the programs you have installed, so you know which one is connecting to that address. It's the only way to know for sure; as far as we know it might even be your terminal emulator of choice. This also includes your init system, because if you happened to forget, systemd has a built-in DNS resolver which uses Google's services to resolve records.

I think I might have to upgrade to windows 10. Basically a few months ago my SDD died and my computer needed to be reformatted.

The person in question basically doesn't exist in any functional way and I'm basically stuck with a PC that works but only barely. Can't even run brave browser so I'm stuck with firefox.

The idea of what I need is to have Webtorrent+Chat so I could stream episodes that others could watch live and optionally participate in a light chat, that's my use-case. The reason I'm looking for something like web torrent is because most third-party servers don't handle my files (mainly because of the video encodes and the complex .ass subs, reencoding stuff is not acceptable.). I thought of doing this with Kodi+some external chat, but I don't think my internet connection is good enough to keep up if it has to send the stream to too many people. It's not that bad either, I usually have up to 90MB/s upload speed. Opinions, guys? Streaming is really not my thing.

Are there any WM/DE that have the features of a tiling WM but work well with the mouse and mouse gestures to organize the windows?

They're looking at developing industrial, academic and nation state actor use of their ISA. After kicking out all the original founders of the project they moved the RISC-V foundation to Switzerland because of trade embargoes and laws limiting the exchange of technology. Some low budget niche FLOSS GPU is exactly what they don't want their ISA to be used for. They're thinking very big and long term so freetards in their mailing list are promptly told to GTFO.

Should I switch from manjaro, are the devs that bad, I often hear they are but does anyone have examples. I use arch on my laptop but I've avoided using it on my main desktop in-case I break something. Messed around with mint but I didn't want to try updating my kernal for ryzen 3000 cpu support (temps etc) because I'll shit it up. I often wonder if rolling release is that great because you seem to be at the will of random updates to everything but it does mean you never have to preform large updates every 6 months and I find it easier than debain & apt. Has anyone been running a rolling release distro for a long time say 5-6 years - is it worth it long term ?

>>1236 I no expert on Linux, but the most consistent distro I've used is MX Linux. Manjaro has been nothing but headaches with random issues that I couldn't even begin to understand or troubleshoot.

>>1238 Thanks I'll check out MX, I'm no advanced arch user but if you ever decided to try rolling release again, doing the arch install process and using it on my laptop helped me better understand and fix a lot of the problems I've have had with manjaro.

Never used manjaro but the differences between distros is minimal, that is to say instead of changing Operating Systems all the time you should focus on learning how to fix what is broken. I suggest doing an LFS install as a learning experience. As far as the rolling release question, I would reccomend gentoo as its kind of the best of both worlds, you can be on stable but easily install newer versions of packages if you need some new feature or whatever. Doing this on Debian distros causes apt to shit itself overtime iirc.

>>1241 >differences between distros is minimal The differences are huge in some respects, but when it comes to breaking, yes, they're all similar. Ubuntu is a pretty good choice for learning how to fix stuff because the internet is overflowing with ubuntu noobs asking how to fix their shit and very patient people giving the right answers, if not deprecated. >>1236 >Has anyone been running a rolling release distro for a long time Yes, but it's a server, so I don't have drivers and graphics to fuck up.

>>1236 Usually when shit brokes, it was because of partial updates but there is a selution to this. When some package dependencies were not updated correctly or missing, you can study how that main broken package were related to each other. Use "pactree <your broken package>" to see more detail how everything relates to that broken package.

>>1241 >LFS install as a learning experience And you didn't learn anything. The point of LFS is for you to realize why binary distros were created and cure yourself of autism. The fact that you suggest Gentoo means you learned nothing.

What's a good way to sanitize text so that it can't contain invisible characters or any weird zalgo shit, but still allows foreign text like Japanese?

>>1281 1. Do not question the optimizer. 2. Do not even ask why it copies the stack pointer to esi and uses that register further on instead of the actual sp. Or do ask that, but try to answer that yourself by checking out what those other functions do with the sp. Maybe the calling convention of F2940C0 requires the caller to reserve some stack space above the return address. Or maybe it doesn't and maybe the optimizer just couldn't think of a good way to rearrange the instructions to make 4 pushes. Or maybe it has good reason for this arrangement because of better cache hit ratio, pipelining, speculative execution, parallel execution... but then see 1. Do ask yourself why you're not using ghidra for what is basically static analysis. If that code is somewhat new, ghidra will not only produce readable C code but even help you reconstruct classes and methods, so you can check how many and which arguments the static virtual method [[eax]+3A0] really takes.

Do you upload stuff on youtube? Is there an alternative yet?

>>1288 Only bitchute i think. Maybe just make webms and upload them on filesharing sites

>>1285 >Or do ask that, but try to answer that yourself by checking out what those other functions do with the sp yeah it was using the SP in there so I guess it had a reason, just threw me off. you're right I shouldn't really be trying to understand the optimizer that much >why you're not using ghidra for what is basically static analysis i've used x64dbg for awhile. i heard of ghidra, but wasn't really interested because i'm already comfortable with what i have. >but even help you reconstruct classes and methods, so you can check how many and which arguments the static virtual method [[eax]+3A0] really takes. i'm interested to see how that works. never got any use of the decompiler in x64dbg, better off reading the assembly. but in my current case it doesn't really matter since I have symbols. just need to match the parameters and the class

Anyone know how to force streaming videos through Tor? I'd love to be able to do something like "torsocks mpv <URL>" but it throws errors relating to name resolution because maybe torsocks routes DNS through Tor and that only supports TCP not UDP.

>>1288 >Is there an alternative Within platforms, yes. Faceberg, instaberg, tiktok, imgur, twatter etc are full of uploaded videos. The concept of sharing dumb videos within a platform is so successful it even killed the vine. But when people look for videos, they will search within jewtube and jewtube only (and pornhub). Vimeo, dailymotion, wikileaks, bitchute, they're all niches for stuff that doesn't fit on jewtube and people who don't fit there either. Vimeo, you're still in my bookmarks, but you've faded from browser history. :'( So with the internet happening on a couple dozen sites, do you want to upload a video to the big archive where everyone can see it but never will, or do you want to upload it to "social" media where it's seen by all your 12 (((friends))) once and never again? >>1293 >yeah it was using the SP in there I mean did it leave the sp at a different address or did it change values in those 8 bytes of "reserved" space? Most functions don't behave like that, but I've seen a couple of times where it was on the caller to prepare the callee's stack or clean it up. Not that it would make a difference really, because it's still "because optimizer", but it would ease my mind as to why that function starts using ESI. Anyways good luck, hackerman. >>1294 torsocks does handle DNS correctly, but mpv probably can't handle the proxy: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/3373 So use privoxy, use the web player that comes with the stream or come back with pcap files of you trying to open a stream.

>>1288 Related to this, are there any non-botnet alternatives to Google Captcha? Some websites, such as bitchute, would work well enough without 3rd party javascript, but the registration on these sites always requires google captcha. I'm not that bothered by occasionally having to use google captcha for downloading files and such things, but I certainly do not want to create an account if that account is tied to google. If there is an alternative, then one could try to lobby the site owners to change the captcha system, so that the web would be more usable without botnet.

I installed Void Linux on a Chromebook and I have everything mostly working with the exception of one problem: for some reason, certain music players and applications (mpv, vlc) play audio 2x fast, quiet, and extremely distorted when playing compressed formats (mp3, ogg). I am trying to get audio to work on ALSA before I switch to JACK. I cannot duplicate this issue on my other PC which is also running Void. I have been able to play correct audio only under certain circumstances: >speaker-test functions normally >ffplay can play all formats normally >mpv can play uncompressed (.wav) formats normally >qutebrowser/QtWebEngine can play youtube videos normally When streaming a youtube video through mpv, it spits out a bunch of errors about underruns, but this does not occur when I try to play a compressed audio file.

Finding some perfect dimension multi sized screw would be hard to do and expensive. I would just use a tap and die that matches your larger size threads on your server rack. Depending on the size difference you may need to drill the holes out a little before you thread them.

>>1310 I actually managed to figure this one out, comparing between mpv's -v -v output and the output of aplay -l. I went into jack_control and noticed this driver parameter: >shorts: Try 16-bit samples before 32-bit (bool:notset:False:False) So I just set that to true and lo and behold, everything worked. Apparently something in the system didn't agree with 32-bit samples. It seems obvious in hindsight: the distorted audio that was still recognizable sounded 2x fast because it was treating what was effectively two samples as one, and the .wav files always worked fine because they were 16-bit PCM.

>>1324 I thought you were trying to get ALSA to work before you used JACK. Also let me know if you ever figure out how to get firefox to work with JACK/ALSA.

Issue with Signal Messenger for Android [Latest] running on LineageOS 15.1 [unofficial]. I can send and receive text just fine, but I am unable to make or receive Signal calls (video and audio). I believed this may have been due to proxying via Orbit (a tor proxy). Disabling it, and restarting the app (and phone) have not solved the issue. Further, I also tried to uncheck the "Proxy all calls through Signal Server" option. This also fails. The recipient of messages states he sees no notification of calls (despite it being in my backlog) nor do I receive calls. This is true for both Video and Audio calls.

Richard Stevens are your friends. Also, I recommend that you start with C instead of C++. >>1366 Read "The Body Electric. Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life" and "Cross Currents: The Perils of Electropollution, the Promise of Electromedicine" by Robert Becker. And, read these, too: https://archive.md/FWMZp https://archive.md/s00kZ

>>1379 I have yet to see proof of this supposed technology that interferes with human lives actually existing, it wouldn't surprise me one bit because it fits the mold but when you bring next level schizo tier things up they have to be factual or end up looking dumb. We know the tech already exists since Raytheon's "Active Denial System" already exists. But can any of you present some actual hard evidence or leaks for this being real?

>>1380 Cuban embassy fiasco is about the only thing that comes to mind. Most experts are saying it was some sort of mass psychogenic illness. But apparently there is actual evidence of brain anomaly. This happening to the average person seems pretty unlikely though. I don't think most common devices are capable of causing this. People i knew used to have this cellphone app that produced a rather irritating tone. That you could not locate the source of with the human ear. I wish i has some fancy RF detection equipment.

Are there any good android apps for browsing the webring/8kunt?

>>1356 First off check if you really need a client-side framework. If it's for electron bloatware, go ahead. But if it's a website, try using proper HTML5 and some forms before using any javascript and write some minimal JS event handlers to improve the User Experience™ where needed. When you have a whole application in JS, go for react+redux because it forces you to take care of your state. it's monads Angular, react and vue are otherwise just different syntax for basically the same abstractions. >>1359 >Delete your post >>1358 is right though and CoreTiming is irrelevant. In https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/tree/master/Source/Core/Core/PowerPC you'll find the basic instruction Interpreter that's abysmally slow, because it has to call a C++ function for each PPC instruction, and multiple JITs that compile a block of PPC instructions to a block of native instructions when possible. >>1357 Like others have said, dolphin has to do emulation because the gamecube has a totally different processor. If a whole game could be converted to native instructions you'd only need some 600MHz CPU. Some PowerPC instructions require multiple x86/ARM instructions, so there'd be a little bit of overhead. But the JIT can only convert small parts of a game, because a game can use dynamic addresses and self-modifying code and shit, so there's a lot of places where dolphin has to manually read and process each instruction and that's fucking slow. >>1360 Can you record and play voice messages and use the camera? Can you see DNS logs and does it have successful lookups for what looks like Signal servers? Better yet, can you do a traffic capture on your phone, over ADB or on an access point? Maybe there's an event log or error log somewhere on the phone too.

>>1382 It's called "Rope" and you use it by tying it around your neck.

>>1384 Great post. I bet your mother is proud of you

>>1383 >Can you record and play voice messages and use the camera? Yes, all SMS/MMS Equivalents function with their intended purpose. The only thing that seems to fail is the encrypted Internet VoIP (which I assume is how Signal does that). Strangely, I also hear the ringing signal but others don't see me call, nor do I see them call. I'm begining to think it is an emulated mp3 because the server itself doesn't provide POTS-type telephony signals. >Can you see DNS logs and does it have successful lookups for what looks like Signal servers? Better yet, can you do a traffic capture on your phone, over ADB or on an access point? This is more than I am willing to do, though I suppose I might as well eventually. >Maybe there's an event log or error log somewhere on the phone too. Is there a /var/log directory?

>>1409 Run your own imageboard, shitpost a bunch on it and then start querying the database for dumb shit like all image URLs of posts between 4PM and 6PM. And delete all posts that mention anime except when sage is in all fields. Then roll your own web page or command line program to display threads and reply in them. Then add extra fields and tables like a toggle to make your post pink or to add emoji to an existing post. Each of these should take anywhere from a day to a week to understand and play with depending on your programming skills. Setting up the IB and finding the appropriate database editor might even be the hardest part.

What is your take on UDev? Necessary complexity for dynamically managing and auto mounting devices or pure bloat? It is now part of SystemD but it didn't begin this way. I wasn't able to find an alternative with equivalent functionalities. It seems that MDev was what came closest to it, still falling behind though.

>>1417 SystemD is shit and linux in general needs to be rewritten from the ground up. Config files shouldn't be scattered across the entire fucking directory structure, for one. Two, there's no need for fifteen fucking tools and thirty scripts to do the job of one. The duplication problem is awful. t. dealing with hardware issues lately and had to deep dive past reddit-tier comprehension of computers and 99% of the time come up with "this is a known bug" because the devs are too fucking lazy to move three bytes in their goddamn code for an if case.

https://www.ivpn.net/blog/privacy-guides How out of date and/or accurate are these guides? I'm trying to piece together a way to basically go full chameleon mode like these guides recommend, only accessing certain sites via VMs in nested VPN/tor chains. Basically not just hiding my location but also misleading botnet sites into thining my computer is a different kind of computer. One thing I can't figure out is how to disable IPv6 for my host machine (currently Mint, but I plan to move to Devuan once I can nail down this process a little better). Pic related. Trying to spoof hostnames and MAC addresses doesn't do any good. I want to start by getting to the point where I can fool this (((smart))) router into thinking I'm using a different machine every time I connect. Unrelated, but how do you enter the boot menu on a Toshiba S755? I got it from a friend who had problems once they tried to upgrade W7 to W10 and didn't want it anymore.

We know that Linux is posed, but what about the GPL? Version 2 still seem like a fine license. Regarding the permissive licenses, doesn't it bother you that others can sell your work or use it on their projects without giving anothing back?

>>1471 People can sell even GPL-licensed software without contributing back for what is worth. The license doesn't stop you from doing it; the only requirement is that users of your software have access to the source code. In practice this means that if the users of your software are only those who paid for it, you don't have to put your source code on the internet on a publically accessible repository, just that inside the zip file (or whatever you use to distribute the software to your customers) there is also the source code besides the executable. And the GPLv2 has a number of holes that allow certain non-free software to avoid some restrictions placed by the license in some specific cases. The GPLv3 is more well-defined and the only real "issue" is that not everyone wants to deal with the "virality" of the license.

You can also just make a throwaway account on github and add an issue like https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/8302 . Actually, check out that issue and similar ones to see if they are related to your problem. >>1499 Who does the advertising, the peripheral or the console?

Can I get some trouble shooting tips on my pc not powering on the primary components like it should? The day prior I shut it down properly through the start menu and when I woke up I could hold the power button down and get nothing but my led keyboard to flicker off and on, so the GPU probably isn't dead. I tried three different outlets and got the same thing. I think the oldest components in my toaster are a 8G stick of RAM (I have two total), the GPU and the CPU which are all 7 years old now.

Has Windows 7 been crashing for anyone else a lot lately, or is it just me?

>>1609 How much money do you want to spend on it? Does it need to be portable? >>1614 It's pretty obvious that Microsoft sabotages it. First it was this "last" update, which broke licensing and gave people with legitimate copies black screen, but I wonder what second will be.

>>1615 >It's pretty obvious that Microsoft sabotages it. Then they must have planned this years in advance because I haven't updated the the darn thing in over a year.

>>1617 <because I haven't updated the the darn thing in over a year. Then all you have left to do is to to blame yourself. I bet you probably don't even know how to maintain a Windows machine. Anyway, your best bet would be running /sfc scannow in cmd as administrator, to check if you have any corrupted files. You could also just bite the bullet and upgrade downgrade to Windows 10, it's not like Windows 7 doesn't spy on you afterall.

>>1618 One problem, I cannot get any of my USB devices to actually register when I do boot up in Safe Mode. Also, I tried W10 for a couple years and IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THAT PIECE OF SHIT!

Check in Device Manager to see if there are any errors. >Also, I tried W10 for a couple years and IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. GNU systemd/Linux awaits. If you don't use Ryzen or AMD Radeon's GPU, then you might as well try Windows Embedded 8.1 (9) Enterprise. It's basically Windows 10 LTSC meets Windows 7, but with slightly more spyware than Win 6.1 (7).

You know that scrum agile project tracking software that developers use at their jobs? I'd like to use something like that but for myself and my own projects only. Ideally some FOSS clone of Jira as a standalone application instead of some software as a service on the cloud bullshit. Any recommendations?

>>1668 Why?

>>1668 https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/search.html

>>1676 >standalone application Nope, you're gonna run a local webserver at the very least. Assuming you not only need issue tracking but also time tracking and organization, it's gonna be Redmine. Assuming you barely know shit about servers and you only use it yourself, I recommand you go for SQLite as a database, which saves you a number of installation steps. And I recommend you get redmine through docker, because that prevents you from fucking up the redmine environment and the installation of redmine gets reduced to (see https://hub.docker.com/_/redmine ) docker run -d -p 3000:3000 redmine in a command prompt, after which you can login on http://localhost:3000/ .

>>1682 Thanks for the comprehensive response. It's a little more complicated than I had hoped for, but not so much that it's not worth doing.

>>275 ok anons when I'm rich I will start new production of CRTs. Also send me some cash to bet on stock options if I make it big and win 100 million you will all get a free sample of the first batch of CRTs. really though, what would it take to produce one? the control circuitry would not be easy but it's the most simple part. the hard part is the actual coils and the picture tube, how would one even start? >>556 I'd stick with 7, you'll probably have problems installing but once you're past that it's pretty much smooth sailing. Get your updates and then remove the telemetry ones, etc. >>607 this is pretty much the best way to go on slow boards. Imagine having a computer club with only 20 people and monthly meetings, then at every meeting booking 15 different rooms, one for a specific topic. It won't work unless your club has daily meetings and 100+ people. You'd just have a single room in which multiple conversations can still occur, yet fosters more interaction overall.

>>1614 lel, pretty much never for me. I have had updates disabled since just after installing though.

My chinkware monitor (Prism M27eq)'s HDMI 2.0 port crapped out. It works but Windows detects it as "Generic PnP monitor" with a resolution of 640x480. Other ports on the monitor work. Any potential solutions? Factory reset didn't do shit, except make the settings menu Chinese. Unintalling and reinstalling graphics card drivers didn't work either, and the monitor just works when I plug it into any other ports.

>>1766 Have you checked the cable?

>>1766 I should note, the whole thing was weird. I was playing autismcraft with a jewropoor friend on his server. We both lost connection and my computer fucked up with the monitor completely losing power. Had to plug it in and out a few times until it worked at all again. At the same time as I was having monitor issues, my friend's internet got disconnected for half an hour. Thought we got hacked or some shit. >>1767 The cable itself works with another HDMI port on the monitor, and another HDMI cable didn't help.

>>1774 Try the monitor with another computer. If it works, the monitor is fine. Otherwise, either the circuit board in the monitor is fried or the HDMI port is broken.

I have a weird issue connecting to some VMs that popped up a few days ago. I won't be able to connect/ping the VM, but if I login to it and ping my computer, suddenly connecting to the VM works just fine. Is there some update to KVM that fucked up macvtap devices?

>>1778 Your hardware has backdoors so even if you have perfect opsec you will always be compromised.

>>1780 Most hardware backdoors require physical access to the device as far as I'm aware. >>1778 Without understanding your threat model no one can say whether or not you're "fully" protected. VPN's/tor will help with basic profiling methods. Script blockers will help further, but with modern profiling methods could also make it even easier to profile you. So as I said, it depends on your threat model. If glow niggers really want to go out of their way to track you specifically then they will. But it's incredibly unlikely they'll invest those sorts of resources into some asshole raving about kikes on an obscure board.

Does anyone have experience dealing with xrandr or proprietary drivers in order to automatically switch monitors when they're plugged in? I want to have only single display mode with automatic switching if the kernel detects the monitor being plugged in. Hard mode: udevadm doesn't seem to detect the plug-in event, and I need to work with the proprietary video drivers.

>>1765 From what I understand ddns are used to address devices that change IPs frequently and used for security reasons to prevent unwanted people acessing a network by requiring an account in order to get on.

At least for what I do, real work consists of running stuff like Solidworks. Or PTC Creo, neither of which even run on Linux to begin with. (If they did it would be great). Even outside of that, I know that a lot, if not a majority, of business software that employees interact with directly runs on Windows, not Linux. You don't think that programming is the only kind of work that exists anymore, right? do you expect some sanitation plant worker to learn linux when his Windows XP control station works just fine? >You clearly have never used Gentoo that's true. >or any GNU/Linux systems. that's false. I use Linux and that's why I don't think it's a panacea for every problem involving computers. It's a little annoying when I see the old, worn out "install gentoo" style meme shitposts on here of all places. It's tiring because every board I go to ineveitably gets filled with shitposting that you have to wade through to get to anything. Hell, the first guy who asked a question about something that would make his life easier sorting out users' machines never had his question answered except for a zero-content reply. is that how you want this board to be? Anyway your post isn't zero content, this >>1834 epic memester's is. You probably misunderstood me and took my post to be one of those "durr linux is gay" type posts, which it's not.

>>1836 Stop posting like that, plebitor. Lurk 2 years minimum before posting again. >>1827 doesn't deserve a response because it is about >windows, which is irreverent enough >user stupidity, which is not technology as well To maintain the high quality of this board. Stupid question posters should get back to their designed sites, such as sjwchan's /g/ and your home. Install Gentoo is the holy grail of tech advice because doing that teaches you problem solving and computer basics. Install Gentoo into someone else computer encourage the person to learn more about computer. This is not shitposting because this is precisely why Install Gentoo is the answer to Windows (ironically people who ask questions about using Windows memes just werk when Linux is mentioned, why are they asking if it just werks?) and user stupidity (hard lessons that they didn't take, driving a car without learning how to, even if the car looks like a kid's toy). Read my post again, people who uses windows except for exclusive programs do not respect their "real work". They let their system to stop their work and slow them down. Doing their "real work" without even learning how to use their tools. TL;DR Reddit spacer should fuck off and Install Gentoo

>>1836 2/2 You should be able understood that without anon tell it to your face, brainlet. But you didn't and instead you post your reddit spaced piece of shit. Now >>1834 is actually telling you the truth. Next time, consider if you are at fault when you got assbusted.

>>1837 you explained yourself well but you could have done it without being a faggot. Not everyone who likes to put a line of space between small paragraphs is a redditor. Stop spouting memes about "reddit spacing". I don't even know what that means. >doesn't deserve a response because it is about >>windows, which is irreverent enough >>user stupidity, which is not technology as well this is a fair argument, but I would say user stupidity as it relates to tech is still relevant. Also, "irreverent" is wrong here, in case that's not a typo, you should know it's "irrelevant". I would also argue that simply because something has to do with Windows doesn't exclude it. This board isn't a Linux support group, it's just /tech/. It's of course not a Windows support group either but that doesn't mean you get to tell anons what they can and can't ask here. >Stupid question posters should get back to their designed sites, This is a QTDDTOT. Simple and stupid questions are to be expected here. >Install Gentoo is the holy grail of tech advice because doing that teaches you problem solving and computer basics. I don't think it's a holy grail, but it makes sense as far as learning about computers. But, learning about one operating system doesn't mean you're an expert. I could just as easily say building your own CP/M PC from a Z80 chip is the holy grail of tech advice. Or writing your own OS. Or making your own language, etc. >Read my post again, people who uses windows except for exclusive programs do not respect their "real work". They let their system to stop their work and slow them down. Doing their "real work" without even learning how to use their tools. So, it seems like you believe a CAD person, or a person working at a POS terminal, to not respect their "real work". How is that so? Simply because the OS is proprietary doesn't mean they're not respecting their work. It would help if it were not, but that's not the point. I would wager a vast majority of the physical products you own were designed by engineers working on Windows. And you use those things. Your computer is one example, the simulations for heat transfer are often done on software in Windows. So, you think that this work isn't good in some way? After all it is what enabled you to make this very post. You don't need to know about computers to use them. It would be nice, though. >>1838 >You should be able understood that without anon tell it to your face, brainlet. But you didn't and instead you post your reddit spaced piece of shit. >muh reddit spacing >Next time, consider if you are at fault when you got assbusted. man, all I said is linux isn't the be all end all to every computer problem. take it easy.

>>1839 >I don't know what that means Newfag GTFO >I am assbusted, what do? >haha there is a spelling mistake, got you ... >Windows >Technology Pick one >QTDDTOT >Not SQTDDTOT >>people who uses windows except for exclusive programs do not respect their "real work" >CAD person, or a person working at a POS terminal, to not respect their "real work" <I can't read >You don't need to know about computers to use them. >computer basics == linux <I really can't read >some work was done on Windows >don't respect their work == bad work <Please stop typing, can't you see that I really can't work? Seriously your so niggerlicious that your existence shouldn't even be possible. Take the rope and begone.

>>1840 >Install Gentoo Okay, it's just a CLI with no programs, now what?

>>1841 Do your computing

>>1841 1) setup your useraccount if you haven't already (make sure he's in the video group, along with audio and so forth...) 2) get doas (or sudo) 3) sudo emerge --sync && sudo emerge -uavND @world 4) sudo emerge -av eix vim layman gentoolkit 5) eix-sync 6) if your using a amd graphics card (or integrated graphics) you'll want to add the proper VIDEO_CARDS to make.conf so mesa doesn't scream at you. 7) once you've done that simply emerge -av xorg-server rxvt-unicode i3(you can suppliment this with whatever WM you want, openbox is a good choice) 8) edit .xinitrc to include "exec i3" (replace "i3" with whatever wm you chose) 9) startx You sholuld now have a basic graphic enviroment. Adding to this is rather simple since it's all done through easy to locate and understand config files. For i3wm the config is located in .config/i3 Most configs will be in this directory, if they aren't the application maintainer is a shithead. Examples of shitheads would be: Mozila firefox, they keep their configs in /home/$USER/.mozilla Added tip, use eix to search for applications instead of emerge --search, because emerge --search is slow. now.. having audio issues? Things playing through hdmi instead of your headset? There are two options if you come across this issue. 1) install pulseaudio (this option is gay and will likly lead to other issues) 2) edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf For editing alsa.conf you will need the output of aplay -l to find your audio card. Once you know what audio card it is, simply set it's index to 0... that will load it as the default card instead of hdmi out. example setting would be "options snd_hda_intel id=Generic index=0" With that you should have a basic desktop setup :) Now it's just about getting a web browser, mediaplayer, steam, etc.. which are all rather trivial.

>>1843 Stop spoonfeeding that retard. Anyway, he is probably booted into the minimal install and thinks that's the live system. Since the environment doesn't come with the handbook, he haven't read it. Otherwise, he would've known all the post install steps. It's as >>1844 says, this time we will make /tech/ great again. Whatever it takes. Quality is maintained. Getting posters to lurk moar is the solition. There are 2 reasons for shitposts: newfaggotry and shitposters. Newfags should lurk to integrate with board cultures, Shitposters should lurk to learn how to learn. If someone has installed Gentoo, he would've been able to lookup solutions and read them. Lurking leads to installing Gentoo. Installing Gentoo leads to thoughts and skills. That leads to knowledge and thus high quality topics and posts.

I installed ungoogled chromium, when I use it to shitpost in the message box the spellchecking doesnt work, anyway to get it up and running?

>>1847 You could learn to use proper spelling and grammar.

>>1845 I find it better to post then not to post. Especially when you have at least something of value to say. You can't have a discussion without some sort of give/take in the form of information. It's just not possible to speak of something but not let them into what your speaking about. It's kinda niggerlicious otherwise. Learning. discussing and finding out new things is what made the internet so great in general... i hate the new founded redditfag mentality of hording information for the sake of being that "cool kid"

>1843 Thanks, I was working on getting a wm but I didn't know about fluxbox/openbox. Both seem to work, just need to configure more stuff. About the audio, alsa says I have no soundcard, but I'll look into it more tomorrow. >>1845 Handbook? Do you mean this one?: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Finalizing I've been following it from the beginning.

>>1852 >no soundcard Did you manually compile the kernel or use genkernel? If you manually compiled it, you will need to enable suppoert for your soundcard in the config. I haven't ever heard of a case where genkernel wouldn't work, but if it doesn't work... try modprobing some audio drivers and see if any of them work. If you did manual, my suggestion would be to just build all the audio codecs as modules, linux should automatically load in the right ones if you do that (will also help in figuring out which ones were needed if you wanted to specify manually later).

>>1854 I'd just grab liquorix kernel config and use that. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damentz/liquorix-package/5.5/linux-liquorix/debian/config/kernelarch-x86/config-arch-64 This runs the latest kernel, should probably enable tun/tap and ext4 if you actually want a functional computer. Everything else just werks. compile using genkernel --kernel-config $FILE

>>1851 Thank you Mr. Newfaggot Onion for the definition of low quality shitpost. Open your god damm eyes, this isn't the dark age before universities and search engine. Your mentality is reddit. No body is stopping anyone to learn on their own, there are tons of IRC channels and forums for n00bs. Another one is not needed. Your selfish shortsighted shitpost does nothing but diluting the quality of this board, because you encourage stupid questions and answers. >value There is Gentoo wiki, irc, gentoo forum, the information hiding "reddit" where post last forever and has an onion interface of your taste. What value does that carry if the same information is only two taps away? How can one "hoard" information when they are every where? >Learning. discussing and finding out new things is what made the internet so great in general... But this isn't the Internet, this is a forum. This is not a blog for your learning process. This zoomer reddit mentality where no effort is paid to do their own researches is what destroyed the old culture. People stop listening and started talking, even if they know nothing. They are even proud of this. And you, being a beta cuck, "help" zero effort posters to fuel your ego on an anonymous image board. You can offer your help on irc, plebbit and cuckchan /g/, where you should go back. By "helping", you robbed a person's chance to struggle and fail. A failure that isn't a big deal, that can potentially improve his patience, reading comprehension, searching, computer knowledge, etc. You are the people that are fucking the Internet up. The Internet was glorious because there are things to learn, not asking people to teach; because there are discussion about things that I don't know, so I can get on their level; because there are new things that pop's up on a webpage, which I can mark down on my to-search list. It was good because top power level users are engaging each other, not because it was a charity soup kitchen.

>>1856 You sure have tried your hardest on hitting that word limit on your essay. As far as i can tell though, you're repeating yourself a little too much in an attempt to make something seem like a bigger deal then it is. The main point of your arguement seems to boil down to >spoonfeeding is bad cause they don't get a chance to fail and >information is everywhere!! it better not like old net All of these i have a issue with. Firstly, i didn't spoonfeed. He asked a question and i gave him an outline of things and terms to look up. with some small tips like using eix instead of emerge --search But for the most part, when i mentioned something like Setting VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf, i didn't say "now go put this line here in this FULLPATH. I simple said, you may want to do this. Which obviously set him into motion to look for things listed under XORG and MESA. Some other things like "tips" were not largely documented, like when i said to change the INDEX of the loaded audio module, didn't ass to tell all the small details of everything, i just said that hdmi is loaded first and you'll want to change that, because the alternative would be using gayass pulseaudio shit. Is this spoonfeeding? To name alternatives and point someone in the direction where they can learn? No, it is not. I didn't make a full writeup tutorial on "how to do thing" i just said "thing". Secondly, if you were to look up "thing" you'll probably just find a thousand pages of "HOW TO DO THING (NOT CLICKBAIT) (WORKS) (FIXED)" which i argue is actually fucking worse. Which is where the second problem to your argument. >this isn't the dark age before universities and search engine Have you literally ever used a search engine to look up a thing you weren't 100% intouch with the termonolgy of? You often get jack shit in terms of results because everything is bogged down by post modernist content farms that will spew the most bullshit of advice in exchange for clicks, doesn't matter if it actually works or not. Either that, or you get tens of dozens of pages full of shit for old and obsolete advice. If you looked up now "get x to work on linux" where "x" is your specified program or game, you'll either get nothing, or someone from playonlinux or the fucking linux mint fourms telling you to install some shit that actually doesn't fucking work. I'll never understand how debianfags can cope with this The internet is largely composed of Aldous Huxley nightmare fuel. Lots of trivial shit which fucks up the legit shit. Do you honestly think someone would fucking ask a obscure literally fuck ass no where imageboard (that has even less traffic then 8kunt) for fucking advice on something they could've figured out with a search engine? Porbably fucking not. As seen from the replies of the good fellow i "spoonfeeded" He is legit taking things into his own hands, following the handbook (lol more like spoonfeedbook) The real reason he's asking questions is because 1) he just wants to discuss 2) legit actually can't find it to someone who isn't well versed in everything gentoo it actually is rather difficult to get into, it requires a lot more knowledge on how things work, the gentoo wiki often has a lot of stubs with some good (but outdated) info on them, followed by lots of terms that your average user doesn't know from the start. >y-you cheated him out of failing/learning He's still going to fail anyway lol.. better to get his bareends before he turns into some shitty debianfag comic about why linux sux. >your mentality is reddit Go back to 8kunt. Unnecessary discussion policing and bullshit conditioning into only talking about bland uninteresting shit is exactly what they do all the fucking time there. I don't give a shit if you state me as being "reddit", i most certainly never fucking used that site in my life and i don't give a single shit for pointless bland circle jerks just to get some ecred in the Greek system. > It was good because top power level users are engaging each other, not because it was a charity soup kitchen. what? tbh i just had to look up what the fuck a "power level user" was. Your claim is that users who shoe horn themselfs in normal conversation proping themselves up on a pedistal like their some authority figure on X are somehow related to a guy giving a small tip to a guy who asked a question in a thread specified for such questions? You are off your rocker. By that logic this entire fucking thread should be deleted, no one should attempt to have any discussions with anyone at all or help anyone ever because muh boogieman. also i find it funny that your entire argument cited a post that i made in the first place, lol And by all means call this low quality posting on the same vain as /g/ cause clearly /g/ isn't full of niggercattle who can't post more then two fucking words at a time.

>>1856 >>1859 to further my point. If someone wanted to get into detail and talk/discuss about something in a video game, like the backstab hitbox on players in tf2 or how lag ping compensation effects things, how one can improve it using console commands. Would that literally be an issue? If i said, use cl_interp to change ms delay. how the fuck is that bad. Or if people wanted to discuss techniques with pyro's airblast... Sharing information, tips and advice among eachother is a stable in discussion and makes things interesting. Old /tech/ was a lot like this, there'd be a thread on people playing around with apache or a fag who wanted to host a live VM for anons to play around with. Generally, cool shit. But as it is, imageboards are mostly dying because it's full of literal pussies with a mob mentality, who are afraid of saying anything in fear that the fun police will come sperging in, or they are the fun police. Over disassociation is an issue, it's a strange issue considering the origin or anonymous. But it is one none the less. Just like over association which is the mentality of redditfags and circle jerkers. We used to get around this because it was anonymous, no one could over associate niether could they disassociate cause everyone shared the same name, making turning around in an argument and saying "lel jk i just baited you all, i was merely pretending" not a option. But somehow in cy+ it somehow happened. A bunch of circle jerkers claiming stake over professionalism while being anonymous... it's kinda funny if it wasn't so niggerlicious. Imageboards are a lot like that study with the apes, where they conditioned the apes with water to attack eachother if they even dared reach for the food in the center. Over time they didn't need to use water anymore because the dumbass apes would just attack eachother without it. over time, newapes got introduced and old apes left, there were no longer any from the point they were using water, but alas the conditioning remained. I get the feeling that none of the faggots posting know anything of why or when, but rather just shit spew a bunch of buzzwords in attempt to fit in, while at the same time ruining posting quality in the long term.

>1860 >not spoonfeeding Yes you are. How did you get to know all that? >avoiding misinfo Is that not something to learn about? >"get x to work on linux" Congratulation on outing yourself. Do you know how to use a serach engine? >Do you honestly think someone would fucking ask a obscure literally fuck ass no where imageboard (that has even less traffic then 8kunt) for fucking advice on something they could've figured out with a search engine?

In this case it should be "how to change my skin?" "how do I shoot while walking?" "how do I know where the bomb is?". I really really want to see /tech/ discussions equivalent to ace in Zelda, novel strategies, and such. >fun police If the answering n00b questions is fun to you, /g/ is down the corridor and turn left. >tradition I bet your old man eats, just like you. Choosing to ignore what was explained above doesn't make that wrong.

What's the user_pref to prevent botnetfox from phoning home to firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net

>>1863 Paste firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com in about:config to see which settings use this url, then remove the link completely. You can add it to your user.js like so: user_pref("browser.search.geoip.url", ""); Note that "" is where "url" once was. Do the same with content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net

>>1864 Forgot to add: also change "browser.search.geoip.url" to the about:config flag this url uses.

>>1854 I've been manually configuring it; it seemed like the right way to go about it, but like with the graphics card initially I neglected to add those modules when configuring the kernel. I've rectified that and there's sound now, hurray!
