Is it possible to perfectly sync up all my waterfox stuff from one os to another,
I'm running a dualboot and would like to keep everything including my tabs synced up between folders

Would It be possible to have some sort of file sync for example with a third ntfs drive dedicated to just syncing up folders

>>105587351
>dual boot
You would need a second computer, or some >cloud service
Good news is it can be quite lowspec
Maybe raspiOS/whatever running syncthing (so only the most current is synced)
This could also be a introduction to the homeserver (>>>hsg

>>105587649
surely it can't be that hard to just make some sort of mirror file and just mirror the settings and contents especially since only one will be active at a time

>>105587351
You can locally host firefox sync server so perhaps that

>>105587695
firefox sync can't sync everything though

>>105587351
>>105587718
>networking in the mind
Freefilesync has a real time sync, never used it, but if that doesn't work, you could probably have it sync the other OS/shared partition at startup (it can check time modified)

>>105587759
is this local or online?

why am i getting a blinking line (like when in a text document, as if you can type something) at random places on my web browser?
shit makes no sense

>>105587782
Either or both

Should I get a managed or unmanaged switch?

>>105588021
if you have to ask, you don't need a managed switch

>>105588040
Fair, but tp link or netgear?

>>105588119
Doesn't matter. They're retard simple. Just don't buy literal chinkshit straight from China with a grey market power brick that'll burn your house down or make the switch ports live at 400V.

so i got libreoffice for writer but it came with a lot of other shit and i wanted to know what they are for, so far i know about
base = access
calc = excel
impress = powerpoint
writer = word
what is the point of draw and math?

>>105588373
draw = publisher
i don't think msoffice has a direct equivalent to lomath

>>105588403
cool i didnt know about publisher

Some schizo on the lossless scaling trannycord server and a bunch of others tried to tell me that its perfectly fine to run my 4090 on x8 pcie 4.0 and I told them they're insane as I use full VR like Vrchat and DCS, and those scenarios absolutely would hit that lane bandwidth maximum and everyone tried to tell me I was wrong so I called them stupid and left the discord. I'm pretty sure I can just change my bios settings and answer my own question but I'm pretty confident I'm right already. I'm right that I need the full x16 for a 4090 unless its on pcie 5.0 and even then I don't the 4090 would be capable of taking advantage of those 5.0 lanes, so it would still need x16 even then. Right?

>>105589147
There you go https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-pci-express-scaling/

>>105589202
I've already read this and it doesn't help me as none of these benchmarks really stress the vram limits of the card, however virtual reality which is effectively trying to drive 2 4k displays strapped to your face all while rendering a LOT of assets at once will push my vram to the limit. Even 24gb is not enough and I'm absolutely one billion percent certain if I ran my card in only x8 mode it would reduce this performance drastically. I don't think you people seem to understand that.

What's the proper term for computer stuff?
I hate using the catch-all term technology as everything is a technology such as engines.

>>105589220
So why don't you do it and see?

>>105590020
I did, I lost about 18%in x8/x8 on my chipset instead of x16/x4 (using rx 6400 as secondary for LSFG) Thread took WAY too long to get back to me.

I couldn't get help the previous thread so I'll ask again

I'm using Ublock origin with opera and it has stopped working properly on youtube. It now doesn't block the ads at the beginning og the video, as if they were loading before Ublock had a chance to block them. Luckily pressing f5 consistently gets rid of them and lets me watch the video, and no other ads are shown, buts still slighly annoying

>>105590223
you didn't ask anything.

>>105590223
ill put this in the nicest way possible so as to not call u a faggot
your browser is proprietary, and you're running into proprietary software problems
you need to swtich to an open source browser to ensure your adblocker works correctly

>>105590279
I don't think that's it because it was working perfectly fine till a couple of days ago

why would you insult anyone for asking a question in the thread dedicated to people who doesn't know about computers asking questions

>>105590307
this place sucks in summer
schizo trannies get so bored (because they can't go outside) they shit up every thread
disengage and move on

>>105590349
I've been posting on 4chan for 15 fucking years. If you are not going to give any proper answer and just want to insult to signal to the rest of the thread how fucking cool you are I suggest you kill yourself

niggers like you who don't know how to give advice and get irrationally mad to feel superior ruined /adv/

>>105590412
Real answer: don't bother. Nothing works the way it used to. Youtube itself or other "sites" may as well be their own Operating Systems if you want to phrase it that way. Also, eventually you'll end up turning ads back on. Not because moralfag either.

>>105590223
Is the built-in adblocker turned off?

With that done, check in the ublock logger that none of the things entries are getting unblocked (that they're green). You could reapply your filter lists to hopefully stop that, or turn off those problematic filter lists.

If it's not a filter list issue, then realistically, make a post in the github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/27415 thread. If you're using UbO-lite use the other Ubo-lite thread

>>105590722
Thanks. It is indeed really weird how its this very specific thing
>eventually you'll end up turning ads back on
what do you mean?

>>105590765
Opera's adblocker was off

I opened several videos until one game a fucking ad and upon opening the logger indeed there are two entries in green (one in light green tho, not sure if there's a difference). Lets see if I can find how to block them

>>105590722
Wtf are you talking about m9? Stop derailing the thread with some nonsense. Adblockers have worked forever, even when youtube tries to stop them. If they don't, they get fixed pretty quickly.

>>105589220
pcie4 x8 has the same bandwidth as pcie3 x16, and in the benchmarks, there does seem to be a 1~4% average perf drop. And yeah, since the 4090 doesn't support pcie5, running it in x8 will be do pcie4 x8, NOT pcie5 x8. It is perhaps fine to run it in pcie3 x16.

In vram limited cases, bandwidth is important and the pcie version and lanes matter. But if you're vram limited, your performance (and frametimes) is dogshit anyway so whooooo cares.

>>105590918
I don't want to show off my lack of knowledge but have you ever wondered why ad blockers have those relationships or why netflix sponsers the same youtubers than then run a VPN sponser after? Maybe ads are like a hidden unexpected ironic security measure.

>>105590765
>>105590934
So I think i've found it, on the "easylist" list of filters I think is this thing in particular what is allowing the ads to appear. Although I'm not entirely sure and even less sure of how to change it so that its blocked instead of allowed
>>105590954
what the fuck are you spouting

>>105590918
generichide only disables the general cosmetic filters. I think that is just enabling them. I would ask about opera in the ublock thread since it's not super common

>>105590959
Nothing, nevermind. You heard of manifest v3? or web apps?

>>105590968
>>105590959
I think I have just fixed it by mistake by doing something really fucking dumb

I right clicked and went to the drop down menu to the ublock option of "block element" and just clicked in the video as it had an ad paused. Then on the list of cosmetic filters I noticed a very suspicious thing (pic related) and clicked Create
Now, after adding that to My Filters the ads don't appear anymore, clicked like 40 videos in a row if it persisted but it really seems to be fixed

>>105590968
I think it disables generic cosmetic filters actually. Shitty syntax man

>>105591006
I don't think that will work but whatever

>>105591006
You can do more of that stuff if you use things like Umatrix instead, by the way. Up that fingerprint profile.

>>105591053
>>105591006
nope it didn't work, once I opened another tab and tried again the problem reappeared and an ad showed up, although it is weird how it really seemed to be fixed until I opened youtube in a new tab. I'll go ask in the github thread as you suggest

that said, does anyone know of an alternative to watching youtube like free-tube but that would still allow me to follow the things I'm subscribed to? It could be a good time to try that

Other solution is that I may also try another browser, but I'm using opera after trying many because it was the one that, after testing, used the least memory and resources, although that was years ago

>>105591069
I've just added Umatrix, but it seems like the videos are not playing

>>105591106
The ads are part of the videos and youtube doesn't host them. It's eyeball networks. You may wanna try something like Privoxy or set something up as a router filter, that may help, maybe.

>>105591080
y'know, maayyybe you could present your problem in the ublock issue thread. Since opera isn't super common, it could be something specific to that browser

>>105591119
Yep, that's what I'm going to do
thanks lads

So I just filled over half a hard drive and want to format it, already copied files off it. I understand that the formatted space will count as free but in reality the old data will still be on there until something writes over it, is that correct or does formatting do more than simply deleting?
I want to know if I should do anything for the health, speed or cleanliness of my drive in addition to formatting it.

>>105594477
old data should still be there, especially if you do a quick format. i don't really know the difference between regular format and quick format.

I replaced an old and very noisy fan of a functioning laptop (UX331U) and now it's throwing whea_uncorrectable_error if I do anything harder than just turning it on (open a browser, task manager, any game)

>>105595109
that's not what i asked for... prick.

i'm actually using a fork of Firefox, which supports themes but color.firefox.com doesn't work. i already tried before posting, that's why i asked for a theme.

>>105595240
For a single color change it'll probably be easier to just do a bit of CSS rather than messing with theme's xpi (zipped) files (since they're implemented like extensions). Enable toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets in about:config and add this css to the userChrome.css in the profile's "chrome" folder (google if you don't know what this file is)
:root {
--toolbox-bgcolor: rgb(220, 220, 220) !important; /*default: light-dark(rgb(234, 234, 237), rgb(28, 27, 34))*/
--toolbox-bgcolor-inactive: rgb(235, 235, 239) !important; /*default: light-dark(rgb(235, 235, 239), rgb(31, 30, 37))*/

/*edit the text color for the tabs and the window icons too if you want*/
/*--toolbox-textcolor: light-dark(rgb(21, 20, 26), rgb(251, 251, 254));*/
/*--toolbox-textcolor-inactive: var(--toolbox-textcolor);*/
}

>>105595791
if you want to make a theme then you could get an existing one, unzip it (since xpa files are just zipped files), and edit the manifest file

Now that google images is cucked what should I use for rev image searching images

>>105595965

whats a good sub $200 GPU upgrade for a 9020 optiplex? is it worth taking the risk buying a used card?

So I have a PostgreSQL (postgres:latest) container and a PhpPgAdmin (dockage/phppgadmin:latest). But despite specifying POSTGRES_USER and POSTGRES_PASSWORD in the first one, when I try to log in to it in PhpPgAdmin, I keep getting "Login failed"

>>105596393
let's just say for example I sneak in and start using your computer while you're napping...
problem?
if yes = LOCK the computer to prevent this from happening (Windows key + L on Windows to require re-sign in before using)
if no = fuck you, it often is, you should lock it anyway

it running 24/7 shouldn't be a problem but giving roommates or whatever unsupervised access to your machine especially if its an admin account is asking for trouble if they have any malicious intent

you should also be able to set an auto lock timer to require sign in after a period of inactivity so it'll lock if you forget to and you won't forget about it and go to work, have BLM stroll into town, block the roadways, and start looting houses and have tyrone and lakeesha start fingering your keyboard and getting all your accounts because your computer was accessible and unlocked
if criminals get your PC in a booted+unlocked state they can most likely start ordering theyselves dat there 70" telleyvisions and BOSE earpods and ayyPhones with overnight shipping at your expense delivered to they address so a little security goes a long way even if you just set your login password to something simple like alllivesmatter 99% of thieves won't get past a login screen

how do you sort unsorted 4chan downloads?

porn

info gifs/guides
political shit and rioter gifs
funny pics
celeb pics
vidya shit
generally interesting things like natural disaster vids/pics

I have a bunch of shit that is interesting to browse through but it's such a mixed bag idk what to do with it

for example
>>105592700 should this op file go in Downloads\4chan\Celebs\Anna Kendrick\GIFs\ or somewhere else?
>>105595751 should this op file go in Downloads\4chan\Vocaloid\Hatsune Miku or somewhere else?
>>105572884 should this op file go in Downloads\4chan\funny or somewhere else?

now imagine almost 20 years of everything being in a \Downloads\4chan\unsorted

somewhere in these folders I have lots of funny content but it's so mixed I can never find what I'm looking for like I know I have gifs of morons playing with fireworks or animals slipping around on ice and retards fighting and pulling wigs off or clips of those rioters who accidentally set their own shoes on fire from a few years back but when I try to find things I remember I had saved in order to share with people I just fail at finding them and get annoyed

what the fuck is the solution to this?
do I keep everything in the same spot then use some fancy browser to access it and use ai or whatever to add TAGS to the stuff?

>>105596573
I used the browser toolbox and searched through relevant elements for which variables they're using in background/background-color declarations

>>105596438
You need to ask yourself why you even need a GPU on a system that already has integrated graphics.
What are you going to use it for? If you just want new technology (hardware decoding) you should just buy whatever the cheapest newest thing is that has what you need, but if you're looking for horsepower (games or running 3D apps) you'll have different needs.

Also which 9020 form factor? Are you still using the OEM power supply and case or did you transplant its guts (CPU MOBO RAM) into an ATX case where you have room for fullsized shit?

>>105596591
Just curious because i have HDDs and stuff, and sleep mode tends not to activate anyways

>>105596595
Like you said, I gave up and put it all into one folder and use Panoptikon (ai tagging/OCR) to search/filter when I need to find a specific image. I only keep folders for reoccurring images like spinning gifs and dekinai

>>105596592
wat, all porn? that's one sure fire way to get people to try competition

>>105596609

>>105596642
depends on quality of HDD but i think most wear and tear happens when the disk starts and stops, if it keeps spinning for several hours it should be fine

Mini-tower, i7-4790, 8gb RAM DDR3 iirc, OEM PSU
Sorry I should've probably gone into more gross detail in the original post but I wanted to keep it brief for readability. My purpose is just to bring my rig up to more modern standards (obviously im limited by the CPU and my general budget). My line of thinking at the moment is either that I should upgrade the PSU and buy a better, newer card (eyeing a $180 GTX 3050 atm) or that I buy an older, used card and use the remaining money on more hardware upgrades like RAM and whatnot.
I'm not sure what "older and used" cards would be good for this PC however

>>105596653
the more I think about it the more it seems like tagging might be the answer
I guess the combination of moving things into subfolders where appropriate (broad categories) and then tagging is probably ideal

somewhere I have a funny video of a frog jumping off a bridge and idk how I'd find it in the mess but if I tagged it with frog and bridge I think I'd be able to locate it instantly. A \Funny\ or \Animals\ folder would still require browsing and a bunch of clicks so maybe tags really are the fix I need

right now I can find what I'm referring to by looking for it online along with most things, but it's not the same
the files I have are free from "commentators" and watermarking faggots and usually higher quality than what's readily available online because it hasn't been re-saved and re-uploaded countless times, the shit I saved was closer to the source especially with the rioter memes people were uploading here to 4chan since they had access to the original streams/uploads that have long since been removed

for example this is hideous and not at all close to the quality of what I saved, but it was from the same video

Update: if I drop the PHP_PG_ADMIN_SERVER_HOST variable, I assume that PPA attempts to connect to "localhost", and in this case I assume that as a docker image, the PPA container does not have a database of its own, but even then, I still get "Login failed". I'm beginning to think it never actually connected to the database in the first place

for my storage yes, unfortunately my OS is installed on an HDD but thats a problem I can solve down the line if I really want to
>But yeah, used gpus are great.
think i got spooked from when everyone was selling harvested miner GPU's on ebay without them being marked as such.
Any recs though for a GPU in particular? Seems like the used market can vary a lot, you can get deals on a 1060 but strangely some weaker and older cards like a 980 will cost more for whatever reason

>>105596863
Cloning your drive to an ssd is the biggest upgrade over any hardware changes.
I would go for a newer card, rtx 2000 or after (same case for AMD) as the raytracing hardware can be used for rendering

>>105596834
Why the fuck do you need a container and a web UI to run wireguard? It's the simplest things in the world. Just fill out a client config on the VPS, qrencode -t utf8 it, and show the QR code to your phone. Done. The Arch wiki had everything you need.

Stop engaging in pathological hsg behaviors.

Quick format just writes basic partition data to disk, this is generally quite quick
Full format also "zeroes" the whole disk, which CAN be used to find bad sectors before they find you

If you know your drive has no bad sectors or don't care, a quick format is likely all you need
[Zeroing may not truly be all zeros, to help make sure the drive knows exactly where it is like numbers on a clock]

>>105597204
>games aren't often CPU heavy
yeah im not too worried about the games themselves not running too well, its more that im worried about bottlenecking causing stuff like general stuttering. I don't really know enough about the subject to whether or not that more of a non issue than anything

yeah i should probably look into that as I have no idea what kind of chicanery this OEM Dell motherboard is inevitably pulling

>>105597204
>games aren't often CPU heavy
Maybe not if your target is 24 FPS.
For anyone who wants playable framerate, the CPU is the most important component in a gaming system.

You can turn graphics down and maintain high FPS with a weak GPU but when your CPU is inadequate it's just game over. Forever bad FPS.
NVIDIA shills like to convince people to spend less on a CPU to buy a better GPU but that's a load of shit for most cases. You need a good CPU for gaming, anyone saying otherwise is retarded. The only alternative is to play older games but to say CPU isn't an issue in most cases is a bold lie.

Probably not bc if you lost control of your hand it would've wrapped around something tied to neutral and your torso wouldn't be hit. Might've fucked your hand up pretty bad.

>>105598100
what gets you will relatively low voltage stuff like home mains is extended exposure. like it won't kill you instantly like higher voltages can, but it's still enough to seize your muscles, which can be a problem if your hand is wrapped around the object in question, it can be very difficult to pull away

My headphone insulation is looking pretty rough and is getting progressively worse.
Just from my understanding of electronics I'm guessing the fine metal wire with the green stuff on it is some kind of shielding, as well as the foil, and it's the coloured wires underneath that is important. Is that right? What is the white one alongside the coloured wires that looks like it's made up of some kind of fibre?

How should I go about repairing it?

Thinking about maxxing the CPU on my AM4 build. Checked PCpartpicker for anything relevant and got the following:
>The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor with BIOS version 2607. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, updating the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU
>BIOS version 2607
Then checked the BIOS version using dmidecode utility:
# dmidecode
...
BIOS Information
Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
Version: 4403
Release Date: 04/27/2022
...

So, 4403, right? Am I even looking at the right number here? What kind of logic does the versioning numbers follow? Going from 2000-something to 4000-something looks wrong to me, for whatever reason.

Probably not worth the time unless they're especially posh headphones. techscrewdiy on youtube is good if you want to try and replace the cord.

if you encrypt a file with 7zip or aescrypt you can open the resulting encrypted archive in sublime text in its hexadecimal representation and modify it manually (e.g. delete a few lines of hex and keep them in a log file)

this will corrupt the archive to the point where it can't be extracted anymore, even with the correct password.

i'm too shy to make a thread about this, but isn't this a simple way to add another layer of security to already encrypted files, if you keep the logfile (which you need to undo the modifications) offline?

tl;dr intentional corruption of archives for added security, yes/no?

>>105599090
>intentional corruption of [data]
that's called encryption

>>105599090
you could do that, but if you don't know what you're changing and you don't change much, it's possible what you changed could be fixed without access to the original bytes, defeating the point
it also hurts convenience
also as >>105599112 hints at, transforming some data in a way which can be reversed with a special smaller set of bytes is literally what encrypting a file with a password does

thanks, really interesting.
i was just thinking of cutting out parts of the encrypted archive, to prevent access without the log files, i.e. 2-factor-authentification.

The 3x12 is probably the best value. You have the bays, so use them IMO. Maybe splurge and go 4x12TB for 36TB after parity, but be sure to save some funds for replacements if you need them. Also, back up the files on the NAS to something outside the NAS like external HDDs in case the NAS fails.

Does IPv6 work over Wi-Fi but not USB? Could just be a bad implementation.

I'm on a hospital waiting for a procedure and trying to pass the time time. I want to either be able to access youtube videos or download some manga to read.
Youtube doesn't load. I get the whole interface but no sound or video, or even thumbnails. It stays loading forever. The hospital internet isn't the greatest and I have no idea how many people are using it all at once, but I'd still expect something.
For manga, I can't access a lot of sites because I get:
>PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
This includes my MEGA account so I can't access my stash to download more books. A lot of other sites have the same problem too, can't use them for anime.
I'd rather fix the PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR and get my manga, but youtube works too. I just need to kill some time.

Assume I have both a stack trace and the source code to an executable that compiles a specific language, but not the input files to that executable that caused the crash that produced a stack trace.
Would it be reasonably feasible to (programatically) somehow reconstruct a small test case that would hit the same code branches in the executable and reproduce a small test case?
I read a paper on the subject but it seemed to be pretty limited in scope, mainly targeting null pointers and out of bound exceptions.

Why would the NAS failing cause the data to be lost, wouldn't the drives still work even if the NAS itself doesn't unless it like explodes?

Also, if I'm using all 4 bays in the NAS, how do I back that data up to another drive? Should I just buy a single bay DAS and slap a big drive into that and connect it to a PC and then transfer the files from the NAS to the DAS?

I heard USB DAS's aren't reliable for data transfer, though

Never heard that specifically, although they are considered low class. Mostly because they're super easy to set up (so there's no artistry to it or you seem lazy) and the sound quality isn't consistently good although it's not like high fidelity sound bars don't exist. And your left and right sound channels aren't very far apart.
>>105604101
Zeroing a disk means writing 0 to every single bit. Pre-existing data is freaking gone if you do that. Although if you do it'll be clear you did in fact zero the drive since every unused space will be full of zeros after that.

DaVinci resolve is seemingly skipping rendering the last frame in the timeline which is causing a GIF I'm making to appear to hitch on the loop. This appears to be affecting actual videos as well but it's obviously not an issue when it's not intended as a seamlessly looping file. Is this a known issue with a solution or am I just retarded for trying to make a seamless loop in DaVinci? All I can seem to find is people wanting to loop a gif over a normal timeline.

>>105605729
If it really is just skipping over the very last frame, and if you can easily get around that by inserting one extra frame at the end, that might be the kind of thing that they consider a bug not worth fixing.

>>105605896
I just tried that and it looped "better" but it still hitches. I'm starting to wonder if this is just how GIFs are reloaded on every loop or something, its happening both in Windows image viewer and on Discord regardless of how big or small I make it, a 1080x1080 GIF is both playing and hitching just as bad as a 240x240 GIF, this is very confusing/frustrating.

>>105605977
i dunno man, maybe you need an extra frame at the start too? I've never tried davinci resolve so that's about the limit of what I can suggest.

>>105606200
I loaded it up in ezGIF and it turns out DaVinci really was adding a huge frame delay on the last frame, which really sucks because ezGIF doesn't exactly have the best compression in the world.

>Why would the NAS failing cause the data to be lost, wouldn't the drives still work even if the NAS itself doesn't unless it like explodes?
Anon, the NAS can fry your drives or fuck its config up or die, and have your data reliant on getting a replacement NAS that may (or may not) successfully recovery the array.
The NAS+drives inside are a single point of failure.

>Also, if I'm using all 4 bays in the NAS, how do I back that data up to another drive?
To something not inside or attached to the NAS.

>Should I just buy a single bay DAS and slap a big drive into that and connect it to a PC and then transfer the files from the NAS to the DAS?
Yes, that works, but a better idea is a docking station and multiple HDDs pop one in, backup, remove and shelve it, pop the other in, and back up. Rotate backups occasionally so you have at least three separate copies of your data with one air gapped at all times.

Lightning strikes happen and people usually lose everything connected to power or any wire (even USB or even ethernet) and that is why you want one copy to be air gapped and completely unplugged.

>I heard USB DAS's aren't reliable for data transfer, though
They are for for the most part. Just not for live systems, the warnings people give are to prevent people from using a raspberry Pi as their NAS and using a multi-bay DAS for their array. For simple use like plugging a drive in, turning it on, and writing data most are fine.
Just avoid the EC-DFLT and similar models from SABRENT and you should be fine. Alternatively you can buy a hotswap bay to fit in a 5.25" bay and slot drives into your PC via SATA to your motherboard instead, without USB.

When you uninstall the game, we may still harvest data and you will just have to trust us that things get uninstalled properly but anyway you might also need to use our 3rd party partner's tool to uninstall their software because we can't uninstall that.

>>105606510
PCI-E revisions are also kind of irrelevant unless you need lots and lots and lots of throughput for the actual game assets.
If your card has enough VRAM to hold assets you won't be fucked by slower PCI-E speeds becuse once they load in, they stay, but many AAA slop games will be bloating the memory bandwidth with nonsense so it can reduce FPS and cause stutters in worst case scenarios.

Even back in the PCI-E 2.0 days people usually never had issues running cards in x8 slots instead of the x16 ones, this has always been something that's overhyped and often irrelevant in the real-world.

what i would love to have is the ability to merge threads, for example right now there's like 3 threads about YouTube blocking adblockers or how premium is just *so* affordable, would be nice if i could just combine those threads into 1.
must then quote-reply and depending on which post i quote-reply it goes into that thread. disallow several quotes if they are in different threads.
just putting the idea out there.

Why are HDDs so expensive?

All manufacturers want roughly $20/TB regardless of capacity.
There is no sweet spot. Anything lower is either a sale, or a bad quality model or SMR with very short warranty.
At this rate I don't even want 40TB HDDs unless the fucking prices come down.

I see refurbished HDD prices and I think those are what the MSRP should be. Is the market just forever fucked at this point?

Im tempted to buy a lot of drives for less than 50% msrp and put them into one huge RAID. Some will fail, but it should be cheaper than using new ones.

What's the absolute smallest size valid PNG? I can make a 1x1 image that's 96 bytes; is there any way to make it smaller, or is this the bare minimum required by the overhead of the PNG format?

What's the best way to make excel tables out of real life pictures? I have some papers I gotta put in excel and I really, REALLY don't want to input 110 years then numbers by hand six times. Tried chatgpt but any numbers make its shitass brain explode.

>>105610050
I've never tried this but what you want is OCR, there's dedicated tools for this. They will recognise and extract the text from your pictures. However they might not build an excel table directly from it so I'm not sure how to go about that. But maybe chatgpt will do better if you feed it actual text rather than if it has to recognise it from the picture? Or if there's any sort of consistent formatting you could script it.

public class ArrayStack implements Stack {

Stack.java compiles without issue, they're in the same folder and package, and the IDE doesn't give any errors or suggestions (i tested in eclipse, vim is just used here because the split screen is helpful to show both files at once)

how do i get around the "Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed" message on firefox when verifiying with email on 4chan? i disabled ublock on firefox but im still getting it. this problem doesnt happen on chrome.

are there any free streaming sites that have good quality video/sub wise like torrented media?

>>105610037
Honestly, why do you care?
I'm not saying you need a real reason curiosity is fine enough but when the smallest logical sector for our storage devices has been 512 since forever, being 96 is small enough to be virtually equal to 1 byte so it shouldn't really matter. A bit of overhead seems fine considering it still has to store the x,y size colorspace alpha, and bit depth info.
Have you compared it to the smallest bitmap size by any chance? Whatever that might be?

If you need tiny PNGs for whatever reason you might be better off creating a canvas with multiple pixels that you read from. 1x1 solid color PNGs seem niche but I've seen small tiles like 16x16 be used for things. Just not 1x1.

>>105600892
It's mainly to do with the faculty. Some teachers just want to bully students, others genuinely want to teach. Good schools have more of the latter, and so even if the material is "the same", the way it's taught is more engaging and involved in better schools vs worse ones.
Better teachers also means you'll be more willing to ask questions without being scolded or feeling hopeless, and students are more well behaved and less likely to be shitty themselves (rude/ineffective teachers always bring out the worst in students, without fail).

In the end you can learn everything you've ever learnt from school at home by yourself with the internet and your local library, but that means not being fully sure you even know what you're learning, because you're having to teach yourself how to teach yourself, as well as how to learn, which is also the case at shitty schools that just want you to remember the exam answers and not learn the material.

Learning Web Design by Jennifer Niederst Robbins is all you need to learn HTML, and also gives a good jumping off point to learn more CSS and JavaScript. Other book recs are given in the book for those.

>>105610436
Pure curiosity. I just wanna know how tiny you can make a png, just number go down basically.
I haven't tried bitmaps but the thing is bitmaps can't be uploaded here. If I have the smallest possible png I could post it and go "look at my tiny file that's only bytes!". It'd be neat.

Thanks anon.

My parents have a massive home cinema TV in the living room from the late '90s that they still use today.
Every time I visit and want to watch something, I have to use three or four different remotes... one to turn on the TV, another for the decoder, a third for Netflix, and so on. Frustrating stuff.

Is there some kind of universal remote I can program to control all the devices?
Is such a thing possible?

>>105610558
Yeah it's possible, these are just IR signals and they almost certainly don't use any sort encryption or obfuscation because why would you (especially in the 90s)
But all the "universal remotes" that I know of work by trying to emulate existing remotes using some sort of standard. I don't know if there's any chance a set from the 90s would still be compatible. I don't know if there's an existing "universal remote" that allows you to do something like record your normal remote and then replay those signals. So you might have to reverse-engineer it manually.
In theory, it's as simple as an IR sensor, an IR blaster, some microcontroller of your choice (raspi zero, esp8266, some arduino, whatever), and the know-how and time to put it all together.

Or look it up and maybe you'll find a remote that does actually allow you to record and replay custom remote signals.

>>105610558
>TV
Yes.
>decoder
Possibly. What's a decoder lol?
>Netflix
What sort of device exactly does it? Just asking case the remote isn't an infrared one.
As the other anon mentioned an universal remote, they aren't all that handy so beware what you are getting.
>>105610844
>I don't know if there's any chance a set from the 90s would still be compatible
IMO it's very likely. There's like two or three "standards" in existence and everyone just copies the functionality. Although not everyone uses the same codes transported by those standards, hence you have to "program" the universal remote.

I was able to make one 1x1 white or black square in 8-bit RGB without thumbnail saved in GIMP at 69 Bytes each.
I'm going to assume until proven otherwise that the smallest PNG is 69 now.

>>105609058
>Do I need any length of wire?
Length isn't relevant as long as it's not insanely long -> power loss happens.
>Can I salvage it from some other laptop?
Yes. If you plan on going dumpster diving in an e-waste bin: look for Wi-Fi boxes too and tear them open.
Another option: neckbeard yourself an external connector, picture relates.

If it's actually the database then it's not the amount of data, it's how you're accessing it, with some seriously shitty select that's doing joins badly or referencing unindexed fields, or loading more rows than it needs to.

An index can make all the difference, most database engines have profiling tools you can use to create the right index and query, I've taken 30 second queries down to milliseconds with a single index.

>>105610299
There's nothing wrong with what you posted, I guess your IDE isn't set up correctly

>>105611817
Because they work in different ways, and this in turn affects how linux programs work. So the actual programs then have to adapt and do things in different ways. Some people don't like one or the other's way of doing things and don't like the way it affects the programs they use, or just straight up don't like how they work.

Meanwhile there's a limited number of dev effort being spent on everything, so people don't like it when devs work on the option they dislike. Add to that the fact that the main big organisation that's funding most of the development is outspokenly political and a lot of people have started hating them.

Make a program that is two .c files, working as you describe, but instead of C & C you have C and asm. use gcc on each of the C files, but use the option to output asm (.a) instead of object files. These will be in gas-syntax. Now, use nasm the --gas-input and --listing options, which will convert the gas to .asm. Looking at the files will then tell you how the assembly part must be written to be callable by C. It's about stack frames. Hard to explain but you can figure it out. have nasm make the obj and then link the two obj files using gcc.

Now you can go back and make a .c & .asm that you can link into one executable that will run correctly.

I'm so sick of motherboard creep.
What are the chances we see powerful boards without bloat on them in the future?
Literally all that's needed is a base for the CPU to slot in, 4 rear USB ports, and some PCI-E slots.
No onboard sound. That shit is trash, nobody uses it, and GPUs (including onboard) support audio over HDMI/DP so sound cards built-in to the board are redundant now. No onboard Wi-Fi, it's a motherboard for fucks sake if you're building it you can run ethernet. Wi-Fi is for laptops or added in later.

ATX form factor seems big for no good reason anymore.

>>105616102
Big is good. More fiberglass is cheaper than better silicon. Also more room for cooling hardware. mATX is a gay hack and the screw hole locations suck.

>>105616102
Anything mini-ITX can fill your needs.
And just don't use the onboard audio, despite your "nobody uses it", probably 99.99999% of people just use on board audio.

>>105615844
multiband gating.

split the recording into several bands, at least four. if you have the tie, go for like ten bands (one band per octave). Run a noise gate on each band separately, with different settings. Trial and error to get it right for each band. Combine the bands back together.

Takes forever and results may vary. I've gotten excellent results *some* of the time.

>Is that not what the NAS is to begin with?
No, a NAS is a whole computer system meant to serve data over the network.
HDD docks are simpler devices that require a host. You plug them into your desktop to access the drives. They're essentially a way to make HDDs easy to attach/detach from a computer. Nothing fancy.

> I'm not buying a second NAS just to back up the first one
Honestly consider it though if you can find the money for it. It's not a bad idea.

>Or a multi bay DAS? but I heard multi bay USB DAS's are unreliable?
Multi bay DAS units have quirks but are fine for basic use especially for simple backups.

>>105617000
.Can you clarify on this?
They work in a non-standard way.
If you format in a SABRENT EC-DFLT dock and write data, then try plugging the HDD in to a NAS or computer or other dock that isn't the SABRENT shit, the data won't be readable.
Also if you have drives with data on them, you can't read them in a SABRENT.
Basically avoid at all costs. Nothing but trouble.
