Tech Questions #8

>>46831 reached the limit. Ask tech questions not worth its own thread here.

Is there any USB connected 1 inch (or similar) micro hard drives that are priced decently? Or are they all pricey because it's a depreciated technology?

Can I change my display to monochromacy with xorg configuration? or other softwares in linux?

How do I make this garbage go away I do NOT want to hear about any extensions or .css file creation I want to DELETE it right off omni.ja or whatever internal file it is. Tor ESR 91.3

how to start learning IT for someone interested in infosec?

what are the best stacking window managers?

>>53350 Start by learning GNU/Linux skills: https://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php Install Debian (if you don't have GNU/Linux system already): https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso Learn a scripting language, for example: Tcl: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/TCL+for+beginners and https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Tcl+Tutorial+Lesson+0 and the man-pgae: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man3/Tcl.3tcl.html Ruby: Programming Ruby 1.9 & 2.0 (4th edition) The Pragmatic Programmers' Guide and https://rubyfu.net/ Then read the newest editions of Gray Hat Hacking, Web Application Hacker's Handbook, The Art Of Exploitation and Malware Analyst's Cookbook and DVD. I recommend reading https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pgubook (Programming from the Ground Up Book) to get the basics of how a computer works. If you want to learn to design programs, https://htdp.org/ is the right way to start. >>53354 >what are the best stacking window managers? It depends. OpenBox, FVWM and windowmaker are good. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WM#Stacking_window_managers for other options. If you don't know which to pick, install OpenBox (also install obconf and lxappearance-obconf). If you want a full DE, LXQT is good.

>>53307 I looked at a couple of guides but they only hide the small icon and not the giant text box on screen in Raspbian OS. sudo nano /boot/config.txt # Disable under-voltage warning avoid_warnings=1 Only hides the icon, not the giant text that's actually annoying. What can I do? Puppy Linux does not do this message however I'm trying to make a proper OS out of Raspbian, it connects to the net easier than Puppy for pi and also it's resolution on my monitor is much better for book reading than puppy and I doubt puppy would have Retropie working on it anyway very well in comparison to Raspbian having it of course. Maybe Mednafen I could do I assume but no thanks. I don't want to flip flop OS's, have no confidence that I can dual boot via one sd card (nor should have to) and I read the sd switcher hardware requires unplugging to reset of which defeats it's purpose. Advice in what to add to config.txt next? Do I have to downgrade the Raspbian to it's older version? Will Retropie still work if I do or is the repository going to not be backwards compatible?

>>53367 (me) I also tried: sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt loglevel=1 at the very end of it in that text file but it's still there. I'm an eternal noob. I got rid of the easily ignored lightning bolt icon but it's the text box that's killing me taking up too much of the screen to ignore.

how should one add an lvm raid0 array to fstab >i use arch btw

Does anyone actually use dumbphones in current year?

>>53328 I think you'd buy a faster and higher capacity micro SD today for a couple of bucks than find a working microdrive. If you want a high capacity USB drive, buy a chinese protocol converter box + nvme or ngff sata ssd. Realteks controllers are good they say. https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/stable-nvme-usb-adapter.2572973/

Any recommended books that people swear by for the following? - Windows Server 2016/2019 - Server and Security in general Current course at school is a bit soykafe so I wanted something more rigorous to fall back to Any linkedinlearning etc. online video course recommendations are welcome as well, cheers

>>53358 >Then read the newest editions of Gray Hat Hacking, Web Application Hacker's Handbook, The Art Of Exploitation and Malware Analyst's Cookbook and DVD. i am scared of hacking courses because it looks like i am reading something i should have had a base first. i am interested in hacking, but i want to learn IT first. but i will read it.

>>53396 who are the authors of these books, by the way? there are 28 files on libgen called "gray hat hacking."

>>53358 >>53396 >>53397 Here you go (plus a couple of extras) >Gray Hat Hacking: The Ethical Hacker's Handbook, 5th edition by Shon Harris, Allen Harper, Daniel Regalado, Ryan Linn, Stephen Sims, Branko Spasojevic, Linda Martinez Hahaj, Michael Baucom, Chris Eagle >The Web Application Hacker's Handbook: Finding and Exploiting Security Flaws, 2nd edition by Dafydd Stuttard and Marcus Pinto >The Art Of Exploitation, 2nd edition by Jon Erickson >Malware Analyst's Cookbook and DVD: Tools and Techniques for Fighting Malicious Code by Michael Hale Ligh, Matt Richard, Steven Adair, Blake Hartstein >Practical Malware Analysis: The Hands-On Guide to Dissecting Malicious Software by Michael Sikorski, Andrew Honig >Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering by Eldad Eilam

I am trying to block companies from selling data from my android phone, it is bootloader locked, the settings app does not allow me to change the dns without setting a static ip, using those kinds of apps that block connections by routing packets back to the device via vpn leak at startup and just after connecting, and they also cut out sporadically. this make it limiting on public networks. Is my best bet to install the android ndk and test out some expoits or am I missing something simple? Could someone share some links about how android devices are usually exploited?

I'm having trouble downloading this presentation https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vQ7grel7wAW5nsqDwCz-ax5vlz9gAylrCRWj6cgs7P5ktK_TVri-21wV6k_0Bzbjp9GYpSqD0NP0eJY/pub Can someone re-upload it somewhere esle?

how is linux support for graphics tablets? i was thinking of buying one and trying out drawing.

>>53419 I have a really old Wacom Bamboo that works just fine. I think support is pretty good and you can probably look up a model to find out if it works.

>>53383 Microdrives only stopped production in 2019. Thought it would be more reliable for storage of files while being able to better erase them.

>>53419 My XP-Pen brand gfx tablet was working fine with Debian and Manjaro. Less famillar than Wacom, yet, it works

>>53409 cannot you use trackercontrol?

is there a way to compile and run x86 assembly on android? for running i can try installing a light distro on limbo x86 and running the program in there, but the problem is in compiling. -march=x86 does not work. do not ask.

>>53481 Install binutils under termux.

>>53480 Still, it does not prevent things like startup leaks.

many good threads are lost due to the insanely small amount of threads allowed to be active is there a reliable archive so i can see threads from the past 1, 2 years? i have been searching for a few.

>>53493 i already have it, but now i realized i only have to install it on a lightweight linux distro, cross my fingers to make it usable and write my programs in there. the problem is that i do not know how to install the distro, (i am trying to install tinycore) and the website that have the distros handy (https://virtualmachinery.weebly.com/) does not work. my intention was to write and compile the programs on linux and transfer and run it on the distro.

Do you know offline QR code with embedded art creators? So far I've seen either command line apps or websites: https://github.com/x-hw/amazing-qr https://github.com/mzollin/qr-vanity There is also this which appears to be a javascript application but I'm not sure whether it needs a working server or not: https://github.com/SumiMakito/Awesome-qr.js

can the flicker fusion threshold exceed 85Hz?

Is there a way to root a redmi note 9s (or any redmi phone for that matter) without having to contact the manufacturer? I hate chingchong botnet, but I cannot get rid of it, if Chang has blocked the access to anything remotely useful in the phone.

>>53511 This is really a question for /q/. There are no archives that I'm aware of.

What's the cheapest way to coreboot x200? Every guide suggests full blown SBC but is it really necessary? Having to spend same amount money on that as on laptop itself is a bit annoying

>>53345 You can do that with picom.

>>53874 Originally they used BeagleBone Black as a root of trust because it runs fully free software OS. This quickly jumped into Raspberry Pi because that's what everyone has an it also can run fully free software in headless mode. In practice, all of these setups are baseless LARP and waste of funds. I understand that a small single board computers can be positioned closer to flashing motherboard. However, same can be said about dedicated programmer on USB extender cable. CH341A programmer + Pomona clip clone + second Linux computer with USB port and flashrom. Even Windows XP + GUI software that interfaces with this programmer board would work equally if not better. Prepare to have coil whines, backlight problems and whatever embedded controller bugs are there. I hope you've read all libreboot docs and consulted their repository. Last time I bothered to check, "stable" version hasn't changed since 2016, and all the cool hackers long since moved to newer laptops with coreboot and me_cleaner. Here's fun thing to do instead. Install Windows 3.1 on BIOS flash chip: https://sdomi.pl/weblog/07-windows-3-flash-edition/

>>53923 I was going to buy one but while reading about flashing I found this link: https://libreboot.org/docs/install/spi.html#do-not-use-ch341a It's weird to me as I've seen CH341A being recommended a lot, even some youtube guys were using it to flash coreboot/libreboot but it still concerns me, is it something to worry about?

What is the best graphing calculator to program for that has not been discontinued?

>>53307 How do I make openssh the child of the vcxsrv process or how do I configure vcxsrv's ssh?

OpenBSD installation skipped network configuration: insufficient drivers. Later, the interface driver was installed. Later, hostname.if (802.11) was: lladdr random join <em>network-name-a</em> wpakey <em>network-key-a</em> join <em>network-name-b</em> wpakey <em>network-key-b</em> inet6 autoconf inet autoconf . As root: doing sh /etc/netstart yold no output; doing dhclient [if] yold no output. Doing ifconfig [if] yold network-name-(a|b) with their lladdr; seems connects but doesn't try acquiring lease.

ok so do system 76 and purism laptops actually effectively have the intel management engine disabled? idk about this stuff and some people say it is some say its only partially

Does ssh work for connections where the nodes are to communicate using binary data (as opposed to text)? Does TLS? What other alternatives are there for secure communication via a TCP connection? Thanks.

What is the equivalent of a Thinkpad for phones, cars, and televisions? What is durable, long-lasting, low-maintenance, easy to repair, and can be found used for a low price?

>>54241 To understand which phone processors are most supported by open source developers, I refer to this table: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Mainline_SoCs Then visit their individual kernel source repositories and check what devices trees are most active. Generally Qualcomm devices are well supported by at least an "Unofficial" build of LineageOS, from this point you have to deep dive into XDA forum. From what I've seen, some devices are even able to dual boot Android+GNU/Linux on kernels versions 3-4 with backported patches with external screen (SlimPort) working. Snapdragon 820 and 845 are the most popular ones. Last removable battery "flagships" were LG G5 and V20. First one has removable bottom part, hence replaceable ports, the second one - doesn't, logic board is literally one solid C-shaped PCB and USB port is soldered right onto it. Coincidentally, there was a "mini" version of V20 sold in Japan as "ISAI Beat", it's battery non-removable (although relatively easily accessible from what I've seen: no glue, only screws) with promises of spill protection, but both audio and USB ports are on easily replaceable ribbon cable, hence you've got to choose between two metaphorical chairs as they say in Russia. V20 (as well as G5 with special bottom part accessory) also has a reportedly high-quality audio chip praised at audiophile forums, so it's a good candidate for DAP device à la iPod Touch. Instead of car I recommend stop being a fat burger and ride a bicycle, and for telescreen I recommend not having one. For monitors, there's not much choice if you need quality. Go to panelook.com and look up panels, buy a controller board from china, assemble your own. Flat panel TVs are basically the same except modern ones have additional computer inside which compromises their longevity. If you're intended on doing Thinkpad-tier component drop-in ""repairs"", then what I have just described should be sufficient. Or just buy Dell/Eizo/LG from office clearing, they'll work for another 10 years after you replace the backlight.

google is imposing 2fa on existing accounts...any way to avoid providing a phone number maybe by using a yubikey?

>>54309 don't use google

>>54309 >imposing 2fa on existing accounts What the fuarrrk? Are you serious? I don't even have a phone.

>>54309 Where are you getting that from that it's forced and no way out?

>>53944 I've used it and never had any issues, so take that as you will.

>>54309 Google accounts will regularly prompt you with a box asking you to enable two-factor authentication, but there is a small hyperlink that reads "Not now" to skip this step. It's just nagging you about it.

What is the best way to synchronize web bookmarks across mutliple browsers and devices? Bonus points if it allows you to set a bookmark as read/unread, add tags or descriptions.

>>54311 >imposing 2fa on existing accounts >What the fuarrrk? Are you serious? I don't even have a phone. I've been worrying about this too. https://web.archive.org/web/20211118214551/https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/google-wants-every-account-to-use-2fa-starts-auto-enrolling-users/

>>54327 >Google announced earlier this year that it is planning to forcefully transition as many of its users as possible lel FIDO U2F keys are good says Google. I wonder if those have unique serial numbers detectable by Google. By now the cheapest and more anonymous option are phone numbers for rent. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6103523

>>54330 >>54330 >>54327 >>54311 >>54309 Maybe if Google gets blasted by public for this move negatively impacting poor people isolating them and potentially making them lose their job during a pandemic they will reverse the decision. It costs money to have a phone and service and money to buy a thumb drive to use as a key which also cant be done on phones if they happen to have a phone and no service. People may not care about privacy but they will go on about that. Extra outrage points if you make it a racial issue how it will disproportionately effect POC since a lot of people dont really give a soykaf about poor people. Worth a shot. Get some "woke" Twitter influencer on it or something to manipulate the masses into caring about something they should have to begin with

okay fuarrrkheads tell me how THE fuarrrk do I mine bitcoin no I don't care if it's "muh non-profitable", I'm living with my parents and I need money, the amount of time my soykafgear is running should give me at least 0.000001 AND THAT'S OKAY so, what commands do I use, what programs and why the hell is literally any mining script so hard to find on teh nets while any website can have just "soykafcoinminer.js" embedded and mine on my pc while I struggle to find a program that does this soykaf cause almost all of "mine soykafcoin now!!!1one" videos or sites are just retarded niggersites that tell me to join a pool with other niggers

>>54426 Sorry dude, in order to mine bitcoin you have to do some expensive soykaf and you have to buy a 12k asic computer to get 10$ worth of bitcoin in several months (and don't forget your electricity bill) Best you can do is download a monero wallet and a mining script for your CPU (must be a good/powerful), you can download Feather wallet for monero and from there you can create a wallet and download the script from within the app Monero is better that bitcoin anyways in term of privacy/ anonymity and it's cheaper, faster and easier to use and mine And don't pretend that you have nothing of value to hide, because if that was true you wouldn't be on this board

>>53419 Wacom tablets should be working fine in most noob friendly distros like pop is, ubuntu, linux mint

>>54427 I love you lain.

>>54334 We already tried them after removing the dislike button and they didn't give a fuarrrk, best you can do is to use a password manager with totp support built in like bitwarden (the totp plan costs money) or just install an android emulator and install a 2fa app

>>54427 I wish I could repay you someday for this to be honest lain, much, MUCHCHCHCH love. <3

>>53409 What device are you using, you might be able to request a code to unlock your bootloader from the official manufacturer's site, or if your device is very nich you can look up how to root it from xda developer forum

>>54429 >>54431 Love you too guys :)

>>54433 Actually those were both my posts lole <3

Will my Lenovo Thinkpad x260 break if it sits in a car where temperature is -5 to -20celcius for like 1-2 hours 5 days a week? I go to the gym after work and rather leave my laptop in the car because there are no lockers. This will continue few months or so until the spring.

>>54334 What are you on, my dude? Every turd worldler with gmail has a touch screen smartphone. Does google even let you make an account without phone number? I think it has been like this for many years now. New two-factor authentication means to use an "app", and if you have gmail and own android or iphone, you can run this "app". Many turd worldlers don't even use email, there's whatsapp, telegram, facebook. >muh poondemic Nobody cares outside your anglo nanny state. Poor people go outside to do actual jobs you outsourced to them. >>54441 It won't unless there's humidity. Just don't let it warm up too quick.

is lineageOS safe in terms of privacy? last i heard it's basically just a slightly polished fork of AOSP with driver support, which begs the question: is there any Google integration in AOSP?

>>54450 >is lineageos safe? >mobile phone >safe smartphones are never safe, jew user.

F1 ~ F12 aren't working in Linux. How can I enable them? I saw it will be fixed through setting fnmode to 0, but not working properly.

>>54451 thanks for the heads-up! trashing pinephone now

>>54453 >How can I enable them? Do they work if you press fn+F1 (etc.)? If so, you can probably toggle the behavior in BIOS/UEFI settings. >>54450 >is lineageOS safe in terms of privacy? Better than the OEM stock. Don't install Google Apps or Play Store, instead use F-droid. >is there any Google integration in AOSP? idk.. >>54454 But smart phones can track you via Bluetooth (p.s. BT is a botnet) and cellular network.

Hello Lain. So basically I was spraying my PSU fan with some WD-40 cause it was buzzing loud as fuarrrk, when I reconnected everything, my hdd suddenly stopped working, at first it was making weird noises but my pc was detecting it fully, then after couple restarts it started showing "ata1: device not ready" or something like this and heads started clicking quietly, my bios wasn't detecting anything, couple restarts later I heard the heads wasn't going back to where it should be (was just flopping all over the drive when I shaked it) opened up the drive (some retards on teh nets say it is a death sentence for hdd cause specs of dust but my room isnt a fuarrrking desert) and snapped the heads back into its "starting" place (without touching the platter ofc), it started going quieter and returning to its starting position after turning off, but still nothing, still clicking quietly, opened it the second time and noticed that there is a tiny, like 2 mm scratch on the platter, closed it and after couple restarts and stuff I noticed that the chipset is overheating so... yeah... am I fuarrrked totally or should I try buying the same exact model and try replacing the chipset? (costs like 5$ on ebay) been really depressed because of it, I feel like I lost everything that made me valuable as a person how true could it be? I'm dying here

>>54460 >Do they work if you press fn+F1 (etc.)? If so, you can probably toggle the behavior in BIOS/UEFI settings. No. It's not working.

>>54450 AOSP is not enough that's why lineage builds come into play but even Lineage builds are never enough as they also do not audit their stuff. Your install might still probably phone to google like the wifi/data/gps/captiveportal connectivitychecks and some apps still have certain features. It's safe in terms of privacy ONLY if you have SELinux set to enforcing and if it's not set to enforcing (disabled/permissive) then any app can literally have access over your packets down to the network level so any app can know you browse lainchan even if you use another app. The last of your worries is the unsafe implementation of clipboard which after my constant blabbering online they finally decided to do something about it (maybe just a feature to let users know who accesse clips) on android 12 but I don't think it's still that secure as clipboard data can still leak across apps especially malicious ones like proprietary social network/botnet/tracking apps. You can however disable certain apps of access with app ops command or app, but it's tricky for novice to do. And install the "potentially malicious" apps over Shelter to isolate their storage and access over other apps (such as app enumerating and fingerprinting which they will probably never address but let's just hope). Stop buying meme phones though, it's not worth it and it's not sustainable and it's trash market. Google can literally decide and let us all have unlocked bootloaders and allow people to truly have open source control over phones but they decided otherwise to "protect from malicious tampering by signing boot" and what happened is a dead market of ejunk comprised of phones which while are "capable enough" for modern computing and more powerful than a literal atom netbook 8 years ago, they decided it's not okay to promote the spirit of open source and AOSP is literally the biggest cu*k of the entire world of open source while being the most unsustainable thing to ever happen in the planet. Stop buying memephones with memeOS, I hope lineageos just dies and one day all their efforts are to be put somewhere else better which is a platform that doesn't lock down people into junk bricks with life span less than 5 years and work on actual linux mainline devices. Just think about it, phones could have been just as good as a PC in terms of security and updates but they're not going that route or at least they're trying to avoid that route to maximize profit and then there's a horde of these literal botnet-infected android slodge filling the internet which are somehow part of these massive DOS attacks because locking down a phone was a good idea (?), one would argue "it's open source" but that's just the ideal, not in practice or reality, it's all unsustainable soykaf called smartphone which is the worst to ever happen in society and they're not stopping at that, it's the literal most sophisticated tracker and wiretap machine on everyone's pocket, including your loved ones so enjoy that Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA!

>>54454 >>54460 Anything that has a radio on it can be triangulated by something as easy to do as a DIY school project and if we go by that logic it's the same way they implement covid bluetooth/wifi beacons and add to that the extensive list/database containing all of the captured MAC addresses which are also the cornerstone of covid beacons / exposure notification. An the fact that rooting is dead makes it impossible to spoof location data, AND the fact that your phone has proprietary wifi/bt drivers means it can turn on bluetooth and wifi every 66.6 days to inform the nearest database for your location update. Cellular network is just the topping in the ice cream, if a phone emits radio it phones its location quite literally and there's no way around that, and even worse today with the prevalence of exposure-activated phones so they just report your current unique MAC identifier to the latest database for who knows what they're going to use with. Literally an assassins wet dream I would say Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA! >>54441 It will only break if there's a static build-up but what's stopping you from putting it in some thick layer of blanket? >>53419 wacom is probably gonna work out of the box unless you picked the very recent offering of wacom, if you want the best support KDE is the way to go

Does anyone use Alpine Linux with libre kernel? Im not good with apkbuild template and was wondering if any1 could share a working one

I wasted time thinking that learning API's and language internals is real programming. Algorithms + Data is. SICP. K&R book and some other CS theory helped. Now I am more comfortable tackling framework or library assuming the structure underneath it. What is the right way to get intuitive behind networks?

Are the specs on a wall wart maximums or constants? If I plug a device that wants 0.5 amps into a wart that says 1 amp, will it burn out (and the same for volts)?

>>54617 Afaik typically the device you are plugging in will draw as much current as it needs. So if it needs 500mA it won't pull 1A and fry your circuit. You may want someone else to answer though as I am not an expert by any means. But I do this a lot with no issues yet. Also make sure the polarity is matched c+ or c- theres a label on the DC wall wart and the device ideally

I'm looking for literature covering as broadly as possible topic of parallel computing architectures (multi cpu/multicore cpu/multicore multi cpu/massive parallel) from historical attempts on this topic up to as recent as possible. In other words - it has CM-2, CM-5, Crays, as were as more recent supercomputers in it as well as more desktop solutions as well as theoretical models not tried yet.

>>54726 Look at systolic arrays and other non-von Neumann architectures. Here's a relevant book which I've only skimmed through so far, but contains some interesting parallel designs: http://verisimilitudes.net/Kogge%20P.M.-The%20architecture%20of%20symbolic%20computers-MGH%20(1991).djvu Lainchan will let me waste bandwidth uploading it, I see the network traffic, but then doesn't include the file, which is odd. I've decided to host it myself, but download it sooner rather than later, as I won't be doing so indefinitely.

>>54729 Great, thanks. You maybe happen to have this picrel or seen if it's any good?

>>54732 I've not, but keep me updated on it here. I'd like to have a copy for later reading.

How do you losslessly optimize your JPGs/PNGs/* image files lain? What tools do you use? And bonus question what do you think is the best way to organize an image album?

>>54740 JPEG: ☞ Compress hueg pics from digicam using structural similarity lossy compression: jpeg-archive ☞ Lossless compression with arithmetic coding: mozjpeg ➡ jpegtran utility PNG: ☞ Oxipng APNG for lossless animations: ☞ gif2apng ☞ Comparison with webp compressions: http://littlesvr.ca/apng/gif_apng_webp.html WEBP: ☞ Only use if you like sucking corporate cock. All lossless compression methods above are superseded by upcoming JPEG XL standard which has brunsli compression algorithm. Best way to organize an image album: ☞ Make a booru https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/ ☞ Or this https://www.tagspaces.org/ Additionally upscale smol pics with super resolution: ☞ Waifu2x for anime-style art ☞ Topaz Gigapixel AI for nature and portraits (find it at your local torrent tracker)

>>54740 >JPEG `jpegtran -progressive -optimize` from mozjpeg >PNG optipng, might replace it with oxipng, though being both dead and new isn't very encouraging. >>54747 >JPEG XL I'm waiting so hard it hurts, PNG/JPEG in CY+6 when we're using marvels such as Opus or AV1/HEVC/VVC (and even AVC) is a cruel joke. Too bad that the lossy mode doesn't seem as good as AVIF; at least for now, I doubt the current encoder is well optimized. >waifu2x I still use it as resolution doubler (with denoising disabled!) before downscaling using robidouxsharp on manga, but there might be some more advanced research stuff available as Vapoursynth filters: https://projects.phoeniix.dev/VSGAN/ https://github.com/HolyWu/vs-basicvsrpp https://xinntao.github.io/projects/EDVR (no filter) Sadly, this soykaf almost always depends on CUDA.

How much would it currently cost to obtain most basic possible hardware for production of proper PCBs?

What are subnet masks used for? I know that a subnet is a fraction of a VLAN, and each VLAN has a unique number representing it, (e.g. 192.168.1.2, 1 is the subnet) but I simply do not understand how ANDing an IP with a subnet mask helps in. inb4 https://www.guru99.com/subnetting-subnet-mask.html#3 >A subnet mask is a 32 bits address used to distinguish between a network address and a host address in IP address. A subnet mask identifies which part of an IP address is the network address and the host address. Is not the first two bytes always representing the VLAN, and the last two representing the machine?

Question 1: is this thread for tech support? Question 2: What *Nix's do you think are most suitable for a bootable USB "toolbox" system? If the awnser to question #1 is "yes": openBSD installed on a USB drive took almost an hour to get to a login prompt, and takes just under a minute to several minutes to get to asking for a password after I input a username for logon. I know openBSD is not intended to be as fast as other OS's, but this is clearly something not working correctly, it even ran slightly faster when I tried booting my USB in qemu instead of booting it natively. It is openBSD 7.0 for the i386, there may be some driver issues, however they are related to more advanced features such as networking, and I do not know how they can cause such a dramatic slowdown, so i think something else is broken as well. What can cause this sort of issue?

What is the purpose of a SAN when NFS exists? From what I have studied, one needs a whole topology to use a SAN efficiently, while NFS is just a protocol.

I have an iso file of type "ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data (bootable)". Is there a way that I can flash this to my flash drive? Previously I tried simply cat'ing and dd'ing to /dev/sdb. I tried using bootiso, and it gave me the error: "Could not find a SYSLINUX bios folder containing c32 bios module files on this system."

>>54915 >What *Nix's do you think are most suitable for a bootable USB "toolbox" system? GNU/Linux: >https://system-rescue.org/ >>54983 iso hybrid or rufus (use grub to load the iso) >https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Isohybrid

I found a couple commands in my bash history on my server that I didn't do. Looks like they didn't get too far beyond running nmap (not even as root) and checking running services, and I immediately shut it down. I'm going to change my ssh keys and passwords, and format the laptop that was initially compromised (no idea what the fuarrrk happened but that's how they got in). Anything else I should do?

>>54993 so if I run "isohybrid linux.iso" and cat it to my flash drive I will be able to boot it using grub?

>>54996 > Anything else I should do? Read logs and reinstall and restore a backup. >>54999 no, use isohybrid and dd.

Which mail provider are you using? I'm using disroot now, but my username is contained my real name. So I'm little bit fuarrked about this situation. I'm gonna delete this account soon, and make another email. But I don't know which one should I use. Self-host seems okay, but I don't think my email usage is worth with $4~$12.

>>55198 I have used a service called tutanota. Look it up I'll not post a link cause I want this to go through. Its alright, a bit annoying for searching and isnt very nice about non webclients but it mostly gets through spamblockers, is free (theres a paid option, too). If you just want something easy and that works and that doesnt so much scream that you're a channer as Mr. Canfields services, I think its fine. Self hosting is alright, but I've always gotten tired of it. Email is something I don't want to think about. Also spam blockers are pretty annoying sometimes, depending who you want to talk to. Tuta isnt perfect but it just werkz for me.

>>55343 its literally a js crypto gimmick. but yes, the only reason its useful is because there are no alternatives, which is also the reason email exists in the first plcae

>>55343 I use and am happy with Tutanota, but only as a cheap reliable account that serves as a contact email for my domain registrar. I think email is an unsalvageable protocol. It sprays metadata all over the place. It's insecure. The only way to prevent spam is to rely on centralized blackhole lists and play convoluted DNS games.

Dear wired friends Can someone recommend me a good very lightweight district out of the box that runs Wayland? I use mint on my main machine bit want something a bit less bloated for my laptop, but it seems everything lightweight that runs xorg has screen tearing that I can't seem to solve I really like artix lxde but xorg

>>55783 Why want for it out of the box? Bloat is subjective, so not a lot of ways to help you in there, installing Wayland and then a DE/WM that supports it is pretty trivial on Artix (since you really like it) should be minimal enough I guess. Only option of DE I know is Gnome and of WM is sway, last I heard of it KDE had support but wasn't very good.

Why does qemu display work so soykaf on windows

For the love of everything that's sacred please help me lainons. Is there any program that allows me to clone a soykafphone exactly like it is, with Android running with all certificates, applications, passwords, like cloning HDDs to SSDs? I mean real identical cloning to another phone, not just transferring data, actually making another phone exactly like the other with everything. Doesn't need to have SIM card, I just need to bypass all types of verification and bullshit in order to use a landline number in WhatsApp Business, and I need it to run it smoothly and asap in another phone but I get no calls with the code and a some weird errors, like "You've inserted the code many times, try again in -1 seconds". I can't simply uninstall the application on the phone that's running right now because it will cost a lot for our company, it's our "gateway" phone. God I hate smartphones so much. Please help me find any program that allows me to do that.

>>53307 What do you use to code? Im using sublime text right now but want to try something else :) only writing in php python html/css

>>55991 vim for everything

>>55991 Visual Studio for everything

>>55952 Not really, you could take a backup of the donor and image the new phone with it if its the exact same model possibly, but that would be about it

How do you disable the remote management interface stuff in newer ryzens? Specificly the realtek chipset stuff. I am talking about the amd ME equal in ryzens that ryzen fanboys never talk about.

>>55952 IIRC standard and third party Android backup software backs up /data partition at most which is sufficient to preserve all passwords, certificates and application data, it can't literally make full image of whole flash memory drive because most of it: kernel, bootloader, recovery image are inaccessible from user account interface and would be useless on any other device unless it's exact same model with few caveats. Android-based ARM devices are not like Wintel-IBM-X86 compatible computers with better backward-forward compatibility between operating systems and standardized hardware. Do you want to change a device to identical or newer one because it shows signs of hardware failure or some other obsoletion? a) You could hypothetically make a dump of the flash chip with special IC reader used at repair shops and overwrite it byte-by byte on identical phone model's flash memory, however I am not sure if that's gonna work because when /data partition is encrypted as it usually is, the decryption keys are stored in TPM-like memory inside SoC on your first phone. Additionally, if you transplant the flash memory IC itself to identical phone on post-2016 Qualcomm-based devices, first phone's flash IC wouldn't work with second phone's SoC processor since each SoC and flash chip are locked-in to each other at hardware level. When you change flash memory, you change the SoC and vice-versa. User data nowadays is assumed to be always backed up to external cloud/computer, and lower level operating system components: bootloader, recovery, kernel being non-user-serviceable but identical and provided through manufacturer channels are written by repair technician with flashing utility/hardware, then user data is restored from user interface of Android OS on top of partition encrypted on first boot. b) My wild guess is that you have to only transfer application data for whatsapp from one device to another without concerns about hardware, since this is a standard backup/profile migration procedure. I assume it does contain all cryptographic keys for whatsapp identity, at most you would have to spoof the hardware data like MAC address when launching anew (I've read somewhere that this is how Whatsapp identified devices, but again I could be wrong in regards to current affairs). c) Please elaborate why you can't simply receive a new code/scan QR to set up on another device and how does landline have anything to do with that.

I need to enter the UEFI, but booting into UEFI just shows a black screen. I'm pretty sure it's not a monitor issue, so my only option now seems to be to clear the CMOS. The motherboard manufacturer's instructions on clearing the CMOS are absurdly unclear, which wouldn't be a problem (there's much better explanations online), except for the fact that they explicitly say to NOT unplug the power cord. Common sense (as well as all other instructions online) dictate the complete opposite - to unplug the power cord. And what the fuarrrk is step #1 supposed to be implying - why is S5 in parentheses? S5 means a full shutdown, which I obviously would've done beforehand.

>>56459 can't you unplug the power, insert the jumper wire and then plug in the power cord?

>>56460 I'm not sure anymore. Is there *any* reason for a manual to recommend to not unplug the power cord?

>>56461 My guess is that the mobo has to have power for the UEFI reset. The steps in >>56460 should work, if that is the case.

>>56462 Thanks, that seems to makes sense in some regards... but it's still so strange. What about removing and reinserting the battery instead? It's not listed in this manual, but other guides list it as an option. There's shouldn't be reasons for that to either: >A) be dangerous for this model >B) not clear the CMOS, even if the power cord is unplugged

>>56463 I ( >>56462 ) would remove the battery as well.

You probably don't need to read the whole story, I have a fairly simple question at the end: >bought an HDD (WD Black 6TB), but kept it in a cabinet unused for two years >recently formatted it into 3 x 2TB partitions >tried "copying" an old 2TB HDD onto one of the new partitions with Macrium >Macrium gave no errors and everything went quietly, but the end result was inaccessible: even after a lengthy chkdsk "repair" suggested by Windows, the cloned partition was still unusable >there were likely several reasons for it to be inaccessible: the old 2TB HDD was nearly full, the allocation unit size for the two partitions was different (old was 4k, new partition was 64k), and the old HDD was a "dynamic disk" while the new HDD was a "basic disk" (which meant "cloning" was unavailable in Macrium and i had to use "copying" instead) >none of this was the real issue though: during the 24+ hr. chkdsk "repair" of the failed clone, the HDD made god-awful grinding noises. it was mainly during the 30+ min. index verification/repair, which sounded like someone sharpening a rusty shovel >afterwards, i ran smartctlshort tests which showed no errors, but the SMART attributes likely don't look good >those smartctl short tests also cause bursts of awful grinding noises - although the HDD is completely quiet at all other times, even while reading/writing files So my question is how good or bad these SMART attributes really are, as I really distrust the noises the HDD makes during those tests, and would like to have as much justification to replace it while it's still under warranty.

>>56705 Rescue all important data now. If a short SMART test gives an error, you should run a long test to confirm it.

>copying from #53307 What's the real difference between the two? I'm sure W11 probably has more bloatware, spyware (I call it as I see it), and maybe a few new admin and server tools, but the UI is still basically the same and 11 is just a remasked 10. What's worth upgrading to 11 if you're comfortable on 10?

>>56732 >What's worth upgrading to 11 if you're comfortable on 10? You get upgrades for longer time.

>>56727 The short and long tests didn't show any errors, but it was all the noises that worried me. My much older and worn-out HDDs don't make a single noise during chkdsk or smartctl, or while reading/writing. Never before have I had any tests make an HDD sound like a medieval sword sharpener's workshop - let alone an HDD which has never seen any usage. Furthermore, after 30+ minutes of seriously intense grinding during chkdsk, I strongly suspect that that's affected its' lifespan somehow. I plan to use this HDD (or a replacement) for a long time, and for important soykaf, so I don't want to ignore anything like this from the beginning. I misspoke when I said it was completely quiet now - whereas it used to be, after that chkdsk procedure the HDD occasionally makes very short and very subtle scraping noises. And they're longer, louder, and more frequent when I'm writing files. Honestly, this has all worried me enough to look for as many excuses to get a replacement at this point.

>>55876 If firefox engine isn't good enough for security in tor why do you consider it isn't good enough for clearnet? And what about privacy of vanilla chromium?

>>57020 The Tor browser is not secure and should not be based on Firefox. It should switch to Chromium ASAP. Vanilla chromium does not automatically update. It shouldn't be used by anyone. Linux is not a secure operating system.

>>57023 I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

>>57024 "I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux." The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long." With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Although I use Tor to access some web sites, I'm not really into alternative networks nor I understand much about computer networks in general. So I have a couple of questions related to these topics. 1. In Russia Tor only works through bridges. Which actions of russian cyber-gendarmes can make it go offline for russian users completely? How can a user counteract these actions? 2. Also, could you please recommend some fault-tolerant means of "friend-to-friend" internet communication? I'm considering teaching my computer illiterate friends how to use tox or Retroshare over Tor right now. But maybe should I try setting up Retroshare over i2p with i2pd? One american cop said that i2p is harder to block than Tor. Any relevant articles or documentation, are appreciated too!

>>57298 >Which actions of russian cyber-gendarmes can make it go offline for russian users completely? Only complete ban of all bridges. But people working in goverment are not that technologically advanced or interested in doing this. >How can a user counterattack these actions? Only if Tor team creates some new ways of counterattacking. Or people will start using VPN services that are still working, but most of them get derezzed every month or so.

Anyone know of any open-registration torrent index sites? I have a torrent and want to share so that people can actually find it. No dice registering with TPB, Lime, nor TorrentFunk, and 1337x just rejects my application for uploader right off the bat.

>>57935 >Tinywall can be helpful to restrict or block windows telemetry/backdoors? No. You could try https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater but it can be just snakeoil. It debatable whether you can even block the telemetry botnet because windows is proprietary software: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html Also read the Seven Laws of Sane Personal Computing: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=284 >I'm little bit tired(bored) of Linux's flavor, So I just decide to go back to Windows temporarily. Why? Try switching the WM (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Window_manager#List_of_window_managers) and ricing it. Try another distro, like Slackware, CRUX, Gentoo or GNU Guix system. Or dual-boot windows and GNU/Linux (mainly useful for games that won't run using Wine or Proton). Find something worthwhile to do, like writing programs or contributing to FOSS projects. If you can't program yet, I recommend you learn Lua (https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html) or something.

Setting up a new laptop and it has Windows 11 preinstalled; I intend to keep some Windows version on it, but are there are any possible advantages to downgrading to Windows 10? What are they?

>>58093 Not really. I think Windows 11 is just a re-skined version of Windows 10, but with little bit more additional features and telemetry. I know installation Windows 11 is kinda awful because of TPM restriction which can be considered as an performance restriction to induce upgrade customers' PC. Anyway, If that's pre-installed, you don't need to care about above issue except you mind about their acts. Just use it. If you really, really don't like M$'s act, and their softwares. Then go to BSD or Linux.

>>58093 If you want to run windows you might as well install one of those unofficial "trimmed" versions of Windows that remove things like cortana or updates that eventually break your boot. Also, if you'll put something like GRUB at some point, i recommend intalling windows first and then other OS and GRUB.

i'm looking to use reaver on manjaro, but i can't get iwconfig or airmon-ng working. i can't find it in the pacman packages. i'm still really stupid, so sorry in advance if i've missed anything.

>>58342 Hmm. I never looked into these on arch before. They are there, apparently. iwconfig and airmon-ng seems to be in the package wireless_tools, on the AUR repo. (make sure pacman can access AUR repos.) ( https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wireless_tools/ ) (You can download them individually if you want to, instead of a whole package.) If you don't absolutely need to work with manjaro, you could use Kali or another (debian) distro that uses apt. VM or not. Alternatively, you could try to build the source code of these packages. It'll take some trial and error to get it right.

>>58355 Your information is slighly wrong. airmon-ng is included in the aircrack-ng package, iwconfig is in the wireless_tools package like you mentioned, but both are in the offical repositories, so no need for an AUR package manager. >>58342 So like I just said you just need to install aircrack-ng and wireless_tools with pacman: sudo pacman -Syu aircrack-ng wireless_tools

>>58045 >No. You could try https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater but it can be just snakeoil. Not reply, but used that script before. It does help to make space and remove stuff you don't need, but I wouldn't say it helps much in privacy department. It disables certain services related to telemetry, which is nice, but I think at some update, M$ just decided to fuarrrk with the related services and re-enabled some of them. Personally, my model doesn't include M$ so I'm not too bothered by it. and I rarely use windows to begin with other than for gaming, so I don't bother re-running the script. Still annoying, tho.

>>58356 Ah! I read too quickly. Thanks for the correction.

Any lainon know if there are CPUs that fetch 128bits (or more) from memory in one cycle?

fuarrrk i need some help badly. For some reason my bios has a glitch that somehow involves the radeon drivers, but its systemwide and even reboot doesnt fix it! I can somehow use the computer somtimes but this is like the 30th reboot i had to do and it can crash at any time for no reason at all. The entire gfx has a literal glich overlay pattern of red boxy stuff and blue lines and soykaf. I can still read most of the text and when it glitches more i can sometimes highlight. Theres also smeared scaled text and lines. This might be enjoyable if it werent for the fact that the computer is barely usable. I run this bitch off a old live copy to ram usb stick, so i dont have filesystem breakage btw fyi. Last time i tried to take a screenshot the machine just rebooted right away and i doubt it would have worked. I have a asus q50(i think) with e-z flash if that means anything, i have no idea where to get roms or how to do this. fuarrrk me this is getting worse as i write this, needless to say my whole soykaf is a huge mess .

I got a phone for free from a friend of mine, who ordered one for cheaps from some of those "deal" sites. It's a chinese fake copy of a higher end samsung phone. Might be some kind of practical joke aimed at dumb westerners since why he didn't want it himself was cause the volume is permanently stuck at screaming at the top of its lungs (volume settings are movable but the actual volume is unchanged), and there's a text print with "HD Screem" on the backcover. Touché, chinaman, touché. To the point, obviously I don't trust anything preinstalled onto it. But it has a 10-core MediaTek Dimensity 1000 in it, and it's free tech. Could one nuke the current install and put on a fresh android? Or just give it a health check on how cyberhumped it is? I'm tech literate, just very uninterested in phones.

>>58539 Maybe android. Samsung uses some proprietary stuff, some of which is floating around after lapsus, to what extent I'm not sure. Might turn into a project, but with the Samsung soykaf on the net that phone definitely a bug

>>58540 The samsung fakeness is probably just skin deep though, it has the name and outer appearance of the model but the internals don't match. Fakes having multiple cameras when it's just one beneath the shell, etc. Doubt it uses any actual samsung particular soft/firmware. Just enough to fool a naive buyer that wouldn't look with both eyes open.

what software does DoD and Military, not only US Military but other countries military use?

It's hard to come up with a good answer because the question is so vague. A military has to use communications software, logistics software, software for every computer and radio and guided weapon and helicopter and plane. You get the point. Can you be more specific as you what problem you'd like to know how the military solves?

Are there any other distros besides Alpine that do not contain the GNU coreutils or any other GNU code?

I want help writing a fake CGI program to run under Apache2. By fake, I mean I want to perform an internal URL translation like this: http://example.com/program?input http://example.com/program/input I just want to translate the ? to a / but without the user being able to know I did this. Then I'll just add a rule explicitly forbidding accessing it with a /. How do I do this?

>>58661 What is your purpose? Do you want to forbid access for a given parameter 'input', i.e. when someone tries to go to website/script?input, they get blocked?

>>58647 Many. But avoiding something for being GNU sounds retarded. also, alpine isn't perfectly simple. It uses OpenGL (mesa) for rendering in Xorg.

what do I do with my old kenzo phone? I don't have access to a PC. I could flash postmarketos and install sxmo but I don't have a PC

Any lain know how to restore a broken .clip file was doing some sketches but then the file stopped working. i tried the restore folder for clip pain studio but the last version in there is from a while ago so its missing parts. the sketch on the right is the more recent but is a screenshot sent to a friend so is not the best quality and doesnt have any layers.

>>58692 Needs to be more specific lain. You need to find out the issue to fix it. Could a filesystem problem. Could be a software bug. Suggestion: make another clip file and fill it with colors, then open a hexdump of your existing clip file and the new clip file and see if any evident data loss occurred.

what level of UN*X braindamage do i have if i write parsely instead of parsley? can it sitll be cured?

i vaguely remember a tool that made it easy for interacting automatically with interactive scripts and programs. you would run a script in its language and it would check the output of the program and act accordingly (you could automate installations, ssh login, whatever), but i can't remember the name. it was nice, because it was often faster than writing my own script. does anyone know the name? hopefully i described it well enough.

I have a partition with 100GB for Mint. I wish to know if I can shrink more space to that partition after installing Mint, in case I need more space in the future.

>>58709 Are you talking about Tcl and Expect? https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Expect https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Expect+Tutorials https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/BOOK+Exploring+Expect >>58711 You can use a LiveUSB, like SystemRescueCD (https://www.system-rescue.org/), to use gparted to resize a partition. But the free space has to be in the right position (right next to the Mint partition). By "right next to the Mint partition" I mean that if Mint is in partition 2, you can shrink partition 1 or 3 (but not 4) to create more space for Mint's partition. You can get around this limitation by just shrinking a partition and then creating a new partition (using that newly created free space) and then mounting it somewhere (meaning basically anywhere you wish).

>>58716 yes, that's it. expect! thank you :)

>>58661 I believe I've found how to do this. The concept is conveniently called remapping: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html

>>54482 >some retards on teh nets say it is a death sentence for hdd That's not always true. I've had 2.5" HDD "click" on me for several months (click click click), I left it unused for a long while until I tried it again and it started working normally ever since. I guess what happened was the HDD wasn't getting enough power. Issues can happen when capacitors are slightly degraded out of old age and the wattage is lacking to power up every components, it's the same thing that causes old gaming laptops to shut off when there's 80-100% load (the gpu requiring power that it cannot obtain, forcing shutdown when the mobo detects voltage drop on some other components). Another experience I've had was external HDD clicking, as it turns out the USB3.0 cable had poor contacts (possibly corrosion also) it would make the HDD click and good thing is I had a bunch of spare cables. Another is on a laptop I had (quite old) which wouldn't power external HDD properly since the USB port was dead. I knew this since a USB LED wouldn't light up properly and keeps getting dim at certain equal and random intervals. One more thing, I had a external HDD (superspeed) that got infested with bugs, there were eggs and stuff inside when I checked it open, it was clicking and showed errors on my kernel logs and it even overheat (due to short) when I plugged it in at first - I didn't know there's those critters in there, it turns out the moisture these ants had was what made it refuse to work, I just cleaned it up and did the rice/silica trick and it had no issues running after that. >when I reconnected everything, my hdd suddenly stopped working The issue could also be that there's static/electric charge when you touched your stuff which caused it to gain charge somewhere it shouldn't causing the voltage irregularities. My advice to others is don't try opening the HDD yet if it clicks. Just leave it be or do the discharge trick (remove battery and rtc battery, hold power button for minutes - if you use this method while on linux this will reset your EFI entries, mind you), check for insects or if ants are getting out the "drive hole", otherwise you start removing components from the computer itself, only use 1 ram stick, and free other SATA ports (like optical drive) to conserve power assuming your PSU/capacitors were degraded from old age. When the clicks are quiet and it's getting it's usually lacking in power or there is a short somewhere (like on the ants thing) and there may also be some stuff underneath pic related (usually if a drive is old, there's a chance that the contacts have corroded due to exposure to moisture or being unused, I usually scratch that corrosion off, same thing I do with handling old age RAM).

>>58749 There's also ways to make a "clicking" HDD still work. Usually the problem is when the platters spin has problems due to misalignment, or maybe due to lack of power, this varies by manufacturer but you should put jumper over these parts, there are modes like spread-spectrum clocking (SSC) and reduced power spinup (RPC), I recommend the latter if the HDD supports it, this would make the HDD run on slower/less wattage and it's possible to recover the stuff when that happens. Other manufacturers can extract data over those pins, there's really no standard for these pins but most of them have documentation somewhere. Another thing is some drives (assuming it doesn't have enough damage to the point the motherboard/PC/USB port decides to restart the device driver) SSD/HDDs can self-recover by just letting them get powered and running, some advice removing the data lanes of the SATA and just leave the power lanes, this helps some drives that had bad sectors that cannot be fixed in the software level (unmountable) by letting the firmware do its own thing, it must stay powered on for about 3-10 or more hours without any attempt to mount the drive (in some cases, you just let your PC sit on the bios menu for a long time).

What is a good way of not having to do a chkdsk every time I want to shrink the C partition of a windows install? The disk is fine, the partition is clean and shows no errors, but I can't shrink it until I do a full chkdsk /f /r /x of the whole 2tb cianigger drive.

>>58837 Auslogics Disk Defrag is my goto defragger before I shrink system drives. I don't recommend shrinking the partition it with that program though. You must shrink it with the built-in disk management tool of windows since everything else can corrupt it (including Linux disk partition tools). The thing is windows' defrag tool is kinda bad or at least it doesn't actually defrag them properly. Do not use any other partition manager for windows other than the built-in tool. The things preventing you to shrink are namely: >system restore point you need to delete and disable if it's in the way of the white space needed to be shrinked >hyberfil.sys and pagefile.sys it's easily removed by disabling them on settings, although you may need to restart or delete them manually sometimes when they don't go away >disable hybridboot and fastboot usually adds some system files on disk >master file table / $MFT usually the ones in the way are backups placed around the drives (in case the file table gets corrupted, the backup remains) it usually gets in the way of the shrink but you can shrink 2x or 3x to the maximum available then do restarts and it might go away. When it didn't go away ($MFTMirr), I just shrunk a drive using a third party shrinker destroying that "master file table mirror" aka $MFTMirr and it didn't corrupt anything (although I don't recommend this if you have no backups and don't corrupt the $MFT, mirrors are okay to destroy I guess but it's still unsafe).

> Auslogics Disk Defrag is my goto defragger before I shrink system drives. I always used Piriform defraggler (it also has a commandline version but it is like kicking dead whales down the beach badly, btw).

>>58839 >Linux disk partition tools I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, oh who am I kidding. You glitterboys will never give Stallman the credit he deserves.

>>58839 >(including Linux disk partition tools). FUD. Gparted has worked fine, and I have used it many times and for many different versions of windoze (including Botnet 10). >disable hybridboot and fastboot This is something you need to do.

>>58839 There are moments I need to clone pcs fast, and the easiest thing I get to boot on anything is a linux usb, but I'll try the page and hiberfile remove next time Normally the stuff isn't on bad drives or partitions, it just makes me run the chkdsk no matter what and when the drive is 1-2 terabytes with 100 gigs of data including windows in that, and I am putting the whole thing in a 256 gig ssd I don't want to be fuarrrking around and trying to shrink it or hope the cloning software we pay for stalls on pagefile or some other sysfile. Or, just won't fuarrrking boot. When stuff is bad I run the chkdsk but usually I just want the data off as quick as possible since I don't want to even try to save the bad drive I just want it gone. >mft Is that kept at the beginning or end of the filesystem/partition? Because when I try to shrink from GPARTED I usually just try to slice off one or two gigs so I can keep ntfs from saying that the 112 gig image I cloned to a 233 gig partition is only 112 gigs. Or is there a more efficient way to fix that problem?

>>53346 Let me understand this, you wanna get rid of the menu when right clicking on a tab?

>>53358 Found some good resources here, thank you king

>>58890 >Is that kept at the beginning or end of the filesystem/partition It's kept everywhere, like say you have 500gb and has 1x $MFT and 4x $MFTMirr, every 100gb there's a MFT and you cannot shrink if it's in the way (at least windows won't let you until it's been settled). There's also a thing with drives write cache so you need to do a proper shutdown or defrag otherwise you'll lose data from temporary MFT (I don't remember but there's like $MFTMirrTmp I think) assuming the files were written temporarily in those specific areas or the things needed to be on $MFT is placed somewhere. Other thing is if the drive already had reallocated sectors, it's possible that the $MFT is placed on multiple places (NTFS is really resilient, just in case more sectors get corrupted) >>58855 Not FUD. Gparted can and will make you lose data back then. Linux only recently got proper NTFS support from paragon's drivers. It used to ignore and just slice-up the $MFTs while it's still "fine" it's a gamble, your drive might be lucky but some would lose data or may not even boot anymore (something to do with mappings and boot integrity, if you did this to vista or sp0 win7 your NTFS may destroy itself upon next mount). It's searchable I still don't recommend it since last I saw even KDE partition manager still uses the old NTFS driver. There's also a thing where the NTFS partition becomes unmountable when it has dirty bit set in place after a bad shutdown (which needs to be mounted by Windows for disk checking) and some poorly written disk managers may ignore it, and again would destroy the NTFS partition table (in which case you'll need to use testdisk to recover it, otherwise say goodbye to your data).

Where can I find themes for my Linux desktop? I'm asking because pling.com (and opendesktop.org, xfce-look.org, and all the others) will not load at all without Javascript. Currently using xfce but any desktop is fine (openbox, icewm, lxqt are all good) >just enable javascript no.

Can anyone recommend any cheap (sub $130 used) tablet computers? I've been looking into them recently and would appreciate any suggestions

>>58941 So I am essentially boned with having to do the chkdsk from windows forever. That is like kicking dead whales down the beach, thanks for explaining the ntfs thing though, I was going to test it out a couple of times, but this explanation just saved me 8 hours of documentation reading a Microsoft sales pitch and rudimentary knowledge.

i need to implement a queue for my SIP code i was thinking of using circular buffers but this wikipedia page has fudded me out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(abstract_data_type) >The simple trick of turning the array into a closed circle and letting the head and tail drift around endlessly in that circle makes it unnecessary to ever move items stored in the array. If n is the size of the array, then computing indices modulo n will turn the array into a circle. This is still the conceptually simplest way to construct a queue in a high-level language, but it does admittedly slow things down a little, because the array indices must be compared to zero and the array size, which is comparable to the time taken to check whether an array index is out of bounds, which some languages do, but this will certainly be the method of choice for a quick and dirty implementation so it seems i have implemented bounds checking, which is slow. C specifically has no bounds checking for a reason! how do i fix this?

I backed up a copy of the tsuki wiki a while ago.

If anyone else is interested in this, please help me out.

>>58981 You can use a doubly-linked list instead but personally I take issue with that blurb. A simple integer comparison is not going to be a bottleneck. The bigger issue with using an array is that you'll have to copy the array into a larger new array whenever the queue grows too large for its current array.

I collaborate with many people at work that run Windows only, and sometimes I have to make simple GUI interfaces that run on Windows. Most people are doing those using C# on Visual Studio. I tried doing the same and it was quite OK, except that I cannot run the programs natively on my own machine (using Linux) without booting up a vm. Does anybody have a suggestion of cross-platform gui framework that could be developed on Linux and easy to deploy on Windows?

>>59143 >cross-platform gui framework for C# that could be developed on Linux and easy to deploy on Windows? I would have recommended wxWidgets but there aren't bindings for C# (?) However, there is QT (Qml.Net or QtSharp) and Gtk#. But as far as I know, you need to make the program FOSS if you use QT, unless you pay for a license. GTK uses LGPL. Also: https://github.com/quozd/awesome-dotnet#gui & https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/.NET#Telemetry

>>59146 Thanks for the reply. C# is not a strict requirement, I am willing to use other languages. I used Qt in the past (maybe 10 years ago) with C++, at that time it used LGPL for most libraries, so you could dynamic link to the libraries and keep it closed. These programs are for internal use only, so I guess I could simply make it GPL, static link and not actively distribute it.

>>58963 If you're using exFAT then yes you really need windows. >chkdsk from windows forever. Disk checking is best done with windows tools or maybe if you could, pass it over wine or some VM. There are times when NTFS gets flagged dirty (when plugged in dvd or tv) and linux tools do nothing but even worsen it. The last I tried linux's native NTFS-3G chkdsk on a hard drive, it didn't go well and destroyed the partition table. Good thing testdisk could revert that somehow. Not sure if paragon drivers are any better, at least I know linux kernels' native exFAT driver is like kicking dead whales down the beach >>58958 Were you referring to wacom/n-trig digitizer tablets? There are old IBM thinkpads that are penabled and may also have 1600x1050 screen but those are laptop hybrids. I think $130 is probably not enough even for used market since the shortage had affected most prices of electronics (plus you'll need to replace the battery). I recommend those IBM thinkpads or fujitsu although you can just get a cheap galaxy pen tablet and install this https://github.com/rfc2822/GfxTablet

why does every possible basic thing break in modern gnome systems (i tried ubuntu to see what its like being a normal user)? ive witnessed, with my own eyes, in the file manager, moving a file from one folder to the other, it tried to copy it, and i didnt realize its copying, and thought the button didnt register, so i tried again, then noticed it was doing the same two moves in parallel is file browsing obsolete/unsupported now and youre just meant to use some cloudshit? inb4 some aspie tries to "help" me. i dont care. i dont use gnome

>>59502 GNOME 3 simply is like kicking dead whales down the beach. You should use KDE/Xfce4 or a WM.

Why is google page blue inside of old web browsers? The screenshot that i included shows how it looks inside of abaco but i have also seen this happen in older versions of IE

Is it possible way to run Vocaloid (windows') on linux? I'm thinking on using vocaloid for vocals, I don't mind if there's a pops or clicks as long as the exported sound file is clean (which is then put into music editor).

>>59653 I managed to recover a LOT with photorec but don't think I configured it properly. The recovery filled my HDD to its limit and after deleting the recovered files I didn't need, I was getting error messages and can't recover the space that got used up. It's not a huge deal as all my stuff in on external drives, but I was wondering if it'd be worth just formatting the parition in a new distro installation? Thats the only solution I can think of.
