im fucking with my own web projeect. my current approach is to use html, css, javascript, ajax, php, sql. i heard about react recently and was wondering how it would be used here. is it meant to use js to generate html and css procedurally?

>>106178100
Yep. Frameworks like React work by basically sending off a placeholder blank HTML page and a ton of javascript to the web browser, and the react javacsript then executes and constructs the actual website's HTML in-situ.
If this sounds backwards compared to actually sending the page HTML to the client, it is; but it makes a bit of sense in the context of very dynamic sites, or "web apps", where the page layout might change dramatically depending on what the user does. This is particularly common with so-called "single page applications", i.e. where an entire website just lives on a single page so instead of loading a new HTML page from the server any new layouts are rendered in the browser using javascript.
So if you're re-rendering huge chunks of the HTML dynamically anyway, it's not such a big cost to render the initial page in the browser too.

But not every site is gonna do that, so people then came up with "server-side rendering" which basically runs react on your server and creates the initial state of the page as actual HTML and CSS, and serves that directly to the user, with the react scripts obviously still running but they don't have to render the entire page on initial load anymore. This way lazy developers who only know how to use react can use it like usual, but the user's browser gets an actually usable HTML page on load.

>>106178348
damn i didn't think about the difficulty of manually configuring a dynamic page through my own javascript logic couple with the html/css components, but if the user could do stuff like resize textfields, or if there's a lot of animatable o-hover stuff like highlighting, im guessing that wouldn't be feasible to just directly code via js.

so the user gets a react script for single page apps, but normal html pages generated by react if it's a more traditional page layout with static content? jesus this is gonna fuck my head up for a bit.

Is this true?

>>106178540
I mean browsers always do the same thing, they render an HTML document, apply CSS styles, and execute any JS code. All pages need at least an HTML document.
What react does is that you, as a developer, define the "HTML pages" as part of your React code, so there's no separate "page.html" file anywhere. React then sends a nearly-empty HTML to the browser, and uses all your React code to then build up the actual full web page.

Anything you can do with React you can also do with "normal" webpages, you'd just need to write a bunch of JS code that might end up quite big if what you're doing is very complex. React automates this by letting you define "react components" that mix html-like markup and JS code, and then the react library itself handles all the actual logic on how to make HTML pages out of this. But other than making it easier to write, it's not that different than just making a "page.html" that's almost empty and then writing a bunch of javascript to manually insert all the elements you want, and then having a bunch of logic in your code to edit, change and remove elements as needed.

The difference between SPAs and more static pages is just how useful react is. It'll work the same way every time, but if you want an SPA, it would be a shitton of work to write by hand, whereas React makes it reasonably easy. If you want a static site, it'd be pretty easy to write by hand, so React is just "bloat" in the sense that you COULD serve a complete "page.html" that the user's browser could just display straight up, but if you're using react then instead it gets a blank page and a ton of javascript and then runs all that javascript which creates the final page, and only then the user can actually see the real page; and if the page is meant to be mostly static then this entire process is kind of unnecessary.

>>106178540
>>106179775
Ran out of space: server side rendering is therefore a very roundabout hack to let you write the site using react but then have the server pre-run the javascript to create the HTML page so it can actually serve a complete HTML to the browser and skip most of the process of dynamically building it in javascript, which is much faster for users and puts way less load on their browser.
It's retarded (I'm sure you can understand why if you've grasped the concept of react by now), and the reason it exists is basically if say you have a dynamic site that you build entirely using react and then you have a few static pages like an "about" page or whatever, you can include them as part of the react site and just have them pre-rendered, rather than having to maintain both react and plain html pages. It lets devs be lazy basically. Some devs also are so lazy and/or incompetent that they only know react (or vue or similar frameworks) and never want to write normal HTML ever again, even for mostly static sites where you really don't need any frameworks.

I have an old Macbook Pro I want to pawn/sell. Whats the process for (totally) wiping the thing? I know data has to be rewritten for it to really be deleted, but Im too much of a noob to know the actual process.

I modded my ps4 with goldhen or whatever when the 9.0 jailbreak came out. Haven't really touched it since. Just been waiting for a homebrew or something to come out to let me play my installed disc games without putting the disc in.

I also have all the ps+ free games I got over the years still installed, is there a way to play those?
Any general tips or updates to goldhen I should check out? My ps4s just been collecting dust and I don't really remember how any of the hen stuff works

isn't the best way to safely delete a storage by just encrypting it entirely?
after that there should no data left to restore?

>>106180482
they say some data can still be extracted from SSDs even after a full write over

>>106180482
Nah it's orthogonal. I mean yes, it will usually work well enough, but they do different things with different tradeoffs.
Encrypting will basically overwrite the storage with an encrypted version of the same. One you throw away the encryption key, it might as well be random data so you're right that it will work to erase the data, but you could've just used random data from the start and it'd use less CPU than actually running the encryption operation - the act of encrypting the original data is entirely redundant and useless here. Or you can even use all 0s and it's also fine for deleting data.
It also used to be possible to maybe get hints of the original data if you overwrote it only once, hence the idea that you have to overwrite it three times or even 24 times or whatever. On modern drives this is basically impossible so overwriting just once is fine, but again encryption is just equivalent to overwriting once. If you are one of those people who want to overwrite it three times anyway "just to be extra sure" (even though it's placebo), encrypting it is not gonna achieve that. Like I said though it's fine on basically all storage from the last two decades or so.

There is one aspect in which encrypting the drive might actually be worse - and it's that it won't overwrite empty areas of the drive, so you will leak information about how much of the drive was full. That may be completely worthless information, but it is still information that would not be available if you did a full overwrite.

Also this >>106180548, and again encrypting here is completely equivalent to a single overwrite pass: there may be some old data left in cache in both cases.

>>106180548
>>106180585
>Data left in SSD after full write over
How is that even possible?

>>106180585
Actually I just thought about it and for SSDs it may be even worse: because wear levelling tries to distribute writes across the drive, if you don't do a full overwrite, "encrypting" your data naively may actually leave a LOT of old data still there in the memory cells. E.g. in the extreme case, if you take a brand new drive, fill it exactly 50% with data, then decide you want to wipe it so you encrypt that data, the controller may well decide to write your encrypted data to exactly the other half (that was blank), and then just mark the first half as "empty sectors" even though all your old data is still there.
So a full write over is important.

>>106180599
Wear levelling and over-provisioning. Flash cells wear out on writes, so SSD controllers try to spread out writes evenly to every part of the storage so you don't end up with half of the storage having failed while the other half is still brand new.
If you were to fill up close to 100% of the storage this would no longer be possible, so nowadays all manufacturers included over-provisioned capacity, i.e. some extra storage available to the controller's firmware but never exposed to the rest of the computer. That way, even if you fill up 100% of the disk, there is some hidden empty space that the controller can use to shuffle writes around. The problem is that because it's completely hidden from everything accessing the disk from the outside, it's impossible to make sure you actually overwrite 100% of the physical storage.
In theory, if you keep writing to the disk the controller will likely try to distribute the writes evenly so eventually every physical flash cell will get overwritten, but there is absolutely no way to know that for sure and there is no way to know what algorithm the firmware uses: maybe it writes to one set of cells 20 times before directing writes to new cells, or maybe it picks them randomly and you get really unlucky, etc.

>>106180778
Would the data hidden by the controller be of use to anyone? Can it be used to recover info besides whats in the controller?

>>106180797
NTA but I wouldn't risk it

>>106180797
Yes, it's literally just data that you wrote to disk previously, and just happened to not be overwritten.

Imagine you have a 100GB SSD. It comes with firmware overprovisioning of 10%, so there's actually 110GB of storage, though your computer will only ever see it as a 100GB SSD. You fill it with 100GB of holocaust denial material, but now you're travelling to germany so you want to wipe it, so you delete everything, and then write 100GB of random data to it.
Imagine the controller spreads out writes in a round-robin manner. The first time you filled up the drive with 100GB, you left 10GB of unused storage. The second time you write 100GB, the controller will first write it to those cells that are still brand new, and then write the other 90GB to the cells that had your previous data.

The result is that the drive reports that it's full of random data, but if the german authorities confiscate it and connect directly to the flash storage cells bypassing the controller, they will find 10GB of holocaust denial material that never got overwritten.

>>106180860
So how do you mitigate this?

Big hammer.

This kind of desk mount will fuck up my ikea malm desk, right? How do i prevent that? I'm planning to mount two of those on one desk

>>106180933
Problem is that like I said controller firmwares are closed source so there's never a 100% guarantee that you've overwritten everything. Maybe it just picks where to write at random, and you can do 10 passes and it will overwrite most of it but like 500mb of the old data will remain because you didn't get 100% lucky. Maybe the drive manufacturer decided to do a little trolling and at some point during the SSD's life the controller will pick like 1GB of data and just never overwrite it again, and if you're unlucky that will happen to be holocaust denial material. Yeah this is very unlikely but the point is that you can't know wtf the firmware is doing.

Realistically, if you're selling an old laptop, almost nobody who buys it will have a sufficiently advanced electronics repair station to access the flash chips directly and analyse the remaining data on them. It's not like when you just forget to overwrite the data and anyone who buys it can just run photorec to get it all back - controllers normally actually hide it properly, the over-provisioned chunks are marked as "not in use" and there's no way to read them directly. So it's only a problem if you expect the drive to ever be handled by an actual forensics department.

But if you're throwing away an old drive, big hammer or physical heat (e.g. torch/lighter against the flash chips inside) is a cheap and easy way to get peace of mind.

Also, a good preventative method is to encrypt your data BEFORE you start using the drive. If nobody has your passphrase, then nobody can read the data, deleted or not, and this whole thing doesn't matter at all, and you can sell it, give it or throw it away without any issues - again, provided your passphrase is secure and nobody else has it.

I use something similar and unless your desk is solid wood, it's going to warp the area that its mounted to especially if your monitors are heavy.

>>106181035
Makes sense.
Does Dban work on Mac?

>>106181028
It's prooooobably fine. I got a couple on my cheap ikea MDF desk, including a pretty heavy 27'' curved monitor (though not a megaultrawide, to be fair). It did press a small dent on the underside of my desk, so if you want to keep it in pristine condition it's not good, but structurally it's sound and has remained sturdy for several years by now. IMO shitty MDF furniture is not some sort of heirloom, and nobody will be regularly looking under your desk, so the dent doesn't matter to me.

If you really want to prevent this, or for peace of mind especially if your monitor is fuckhueg, add a plank of hardwood between the desk and the vise. Especially on the underside where the contact point is typically a lot smaller. It'll distribute the force and lower the pressure. Or it doesn't have to be hardwood, just some solid wood, a softwood will also get dented but it won't crack and worst case it's a tiny piece of scrap lumber that you can just replace.

I just noticed that my speakers have an HDMI ARC input. Can I just plug in a second HDMI cable from my GPU and get it to work? Because Windows sound manager shows the monitor but not any other connected HDMI device. The monitor has no built-in speakers and everything else is unplugged. Can the RTX series be configured to send HDMI ARC or is this just for normal tv sets?

>>106181028
It will absolutely destroy the desk.
I did the same, one monitor still warped the desk.

>>106181126

Keep in mind that there's no advantage compared to SPDIF because GPUs lack HDMI CEC, so you'll have to do everything manually every time.

Just got a Ubiquiti gateway fiber, after a move I intend to put together a proper NVR but the m.2 slot will work for now. The prices are pretty good on enterprise 22110 gen 3 nvme drives (~2TB for ~$100), the endurance is what I'm after but I'm worried about the temps I'm not sure the built in fan will be able to keep it under control. Anyone try this or have any experience with this class of drives in a low airflow device, I tend to think the idle temps will be too much.

>>106182788
Flash likes high temps. As long as the controller isn't constantly at 100C and throttling it's fine.

>>106182803
That's not exactly true, it's an NVR and with the constant writes extended time at higher temps will shorten lifespan. The 22110 drives I'm looking at are double sided enterprise drives, intended to be used in servers with high airflow not prosumer network gear with a 'silent' fan. And being enterprise gear they don't have idle states like consumer drives, we're talking >8W at idle. I pretty much already know it's not going to work but I'm hoping someone else was dumb enough to try it and can goad me into doing it anyway.

Got a new full PC I'm about to build up, my current PC is using a SATA SSD as the OS drive/only drive in the computer. New build has an NVMe that I'll use for the OS and most things. Will I be able to plug in the SATA SSD to the new build after fully setting everything up and have access to those files without reformatting it? Old SSD has Windows 10 and the new one will have 11. I'm externally backing up my important art/photo/design projects anyways but I have some things that aren't as important but they're easy to redownload, but will take a while.

back when 4chanx addon worked in chrome i was able to copy paste images instead of saving them in my pc and then upload them to reply.
After installing tampermonkey and the 4chanx script i am able to do most of the stuff i used to except copy pasting images, is there a script somewhere to add it?
Also why it takes an extra refresh to load the 4chanx script in every thread? it's annoying that all features don't work immediately unless you give it an extra refresh

>>106189990
Depends. The HDR spec has a bunch of stuff about brightness, so it's somewhat orthogonal. They possibly can, but you'd have to check

My desktop is constantly having troubles with internet speed. It's connected over wifi with a pcie card. Drivers are installed but for some reason speed regularly drops bellow 1 mbit/s and no other devices (laptop and phone) have this issue. Any pointers to what could be the problem?

I'm an idiot, yes. But I am really curious about this. Is there something similar like Qubes OS but for docker? If I use VM and then Qubes OS, it's too much resource consumption. I just want to point my browser to the container that's different internet protocol and easily switch back to normal internet, but I'm not an expert in these secure processes. I already had to install Tunnel, IPFS, and now another more because of a shitty censorship. Please help, I already have a lot of installed virtual network shit....

>>106190290
Make sure bios is up to date, and read the motherboard manual to see if there are shared PCI ports; If there is, swap ports around to you don't have conflict. Check to see if there are multiple drivers for the device installed, remove the one windows installed and make sure the one you downloaded/installed isn't a beta driver.

>>106190347
Drivers were already in order, but I've updated to bios now. Doubtful it will change anything. Inserting the card into the other pcie slot had the pc refusing to boot so I assume it's in the correct one since I couldn't find anything on pcie lanes in the manual.

In general high quality chairs are worth it BUT there is no single chair that everyone will find the most comfortable. This means that you must try a few yourself, or be confident in the return policy but even that is a mediocre option if you don't know what else is possible; trying multiple chairs is way better than just trying a single one.
Personally I have a very low opinion of herman miller chairs but a lot of people do like them. I've been using HAG chairs for the past decade or so. But again, you really ought to find a place where you can try multiple chairs from multiple brands and judge for yourself.

Also look around for refurbished office furniture outlets, high end chairs often go for way way cheaper than new, while still being in decent condition and well cleaned. I've never tried it myself but I've heard the steelcase Leap is a very common office chair, so easy to find for cheap when offices get rid of them, and is maybe not the same as a top-end flagship chair but still very very adequate in ergonomics and quality.

The shithole where I live blocked Twitter, and I want to create an account to do some things. I don't want to pay for a VPN, and the only free one I trust, ProtonVPN, has also been blocked in my country. Which VPN could I used? I was thinking about TunnelBear or Windscribe. As long as my email and password don't end up in the wrong hands, I don't care about my privacy.

Does anyone have that meme of the evil AI getting sprayed with a hose?

>>106193912
not him, but basically even without NAT each IP address can be communicated with with a port number as well, from 1-65,535. common services have fixed ports like websites use 80/443, ssh uses 22, etc. when you visit a website, your browser connects to port 80 of the address you entered since that's the standard web server port.
a connection is port-to-port, but the originating port doesn't need to be the same number. like when connecting to a server's port 80, you don't need to use your port 80 to do it, you can make multiple connections to different web servers by using random other port numbers on your computer.
when NAT is involved, all computers behind the NAT now have to share the public IP's 65,535 available ports... but that's still a lot of ports, chances are you won't need to make more connections than that at any one time anyway.

>>106170513 (OP)
I've never done any mobile dev at all. What's the easiest way to see network activity in an app? I have android studio but still poking around and figuring things out

amd adrenalin software doesn't open for me. my pc crashed couple minutes ago, I knew it was due to the GPU since upon booting up again I had to disable and enable GPU in device manager. I checked for a new driver update and there was one. Installed and when I try opening AMD software, it just hangs for a bit and never boots.

I have a feeling it may have been due to the latest windows update, because prior to that everything was working fine. Anyone know anything about this?

I built up a new fresh computer and I'm trying to be better with file organization for my creative projects (Blender, After Effects, Photoshop, etc). What I used to do was have two big folders (one for Blender, one for everything else) on my desktop for each program and organize projects, resources, etc in folders within those folders. Kind of chaotic but it makes sense to me.
Couple of questions. Does having that stuff on my desktop instead of a different directory make things slower? Also, does anyone have any words of wisdom/resources to share for better and faster file management for creative processes? I feel like I generally have the hang of it but there's always ways to improve.

thoughts on this printer?
I need a very simple black and white laser printer, this one has a scanner, so thats good.
I will be getting it through work rewards points, not amazon.

>>106196976
i have the m110w, which is the even more basic version and it's surprisingly fine. i just store it in a closet and pull it out whenever i need to print shit. i think i had to download some program to link it to my laptop - don't believe i had to download an app.

>>106196976

>>106196678
>Does having that stuff on my desktop instead of a different directory make things slower?
That depends on whether you overwhelm the drive I/O bandwidth. At this point you should be fine with basically any SSD. I doubt your CPU/GPU can render frames fast enough to cause a problem. Photoshop might still ask for a scratch drive. But I doubt it makes much difference on even a mid-grade system.
>Also, does anyone have any words of wisdom/resources to share for better and faster file management for creative processes? I feel like I generally have the hang of it but there's always ways to improve.
Redundant backups. I have two mirrored HDDs where all paused/completed projects are backed up. But that's not what you asked. For personal stuff; working files go into a projects folder on a secondary SSD and I keep projects in folders separated based on type, which then have subfolders for each project. The desktop is only for temp files or imports/exports. I'm in charge of creating document standards/processes where I work and the most important thing is logical/consistent naming conventions and organization so you (or a coworker) know where everything is if you have to pick something up later (or hand the project off to a someone else). Also, back up everything.

Can I add USB 3 ports to my PC without replacing the motherboard? I'd have to replace cpu as well and I just did, stupid minmax build

>>106198526
what motherboard do you have
you might have an unused usb 3 header

>>106198541
Asus ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4

>>106198556
well it only has the one usb 3 header so if you're already using it for the front panel then you're out of luck there
has header for 2x2.0 ports which are slow, but could be used by your keyboard/mouse to free up other faster ports
otherwise without using your gpu port, you're looking at using a riser cable from the m.2 slot

not that I care, but you are losing extremely valuable details if you do this to any photos you care about.

Even in their photo example, you're losing all of the subtle skin details. Invariably this will also warp text beyond recognition.

Thanks for your help, will do

>>106198724
>the input to the decoder is the bottom left, and the output is the bottom right
okay... that makes more sense now. That is incredibly impressive. My point still stands somewhat, as details will be irreversibly lost. The glimmer in her eye was lost completely.

I hate github faggots so much it's not even funny. how hard is it to label your fucking example photos in a way that makes sense?

>>106198764
it says right under the photo.

>Top left: original Lena image
>Top right: original, 64x64 detail
>Bottom left: JPEG encoded at 10% quality with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling using the GIMP, 64x64 detail
>Bottom right: JPEG decoded with jpeg2png using the default settings, 64x64 detail

>>106198774
let me translate as someone who works in enterprise IT but still has no fucking idea what any of this means.

>Top left: original Lena(??) image
>Top right: original, 64x64(??) detail
>Bottom left: JPEG encoded at 10% quality(??) with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling(????) using the GIMP (who cares), 64x64 detail(??)
>Bottom right: JPEG decoded with jpeg2png using the default settings, 64x64 detail(??)

autists need to exercise brevity and learn to use layman's terms

>>106198764
>The glimmer in her eye was lost completely.
and sure, it's not magic. it can't really know what the original input was to create the coefficients the resulting jpeg had, and is simply searching for the smoothest result. it's a pretty extreme example as well, in some circumstances it may be impossible to know if a particular pixel is detail or an artifact

here i made a more realistic example with content more suited for it. top is a screenshot saved as 75% jpeg, the default in a lot of programs. bottom is the output of jpeg2png from that jpeg, default settings.

>>106198805
"Lena" is a common test image, it's simply the name of the source image. it's been around for like 50 years and anybody who has touched any image processing tools will recognise it.
"64x64 detail" is a detail image that is 64x64 pixels, "crop" would perhaps be a more common term if you aren't familiar with this usage of "detail"

Is AI good enough to scan a scanned book in pdf and give me all the contents in a text format? Basically doing OCR but not having to do it myself. Unless there's already programs to do this, in which please tell me what they are. The only one I know of makes me do it myself.

>>106198805
if you work in IT and don't know what jpeg quality means I don't know what to tell you

>>106198805
>>106198827
>10% quality(??)
how much a jpeg is compressed by is typically expressed as a percentage, with 0% being garbage and 100% being the highest quality (not lossless mind you). many programs default to 75%, especially older programs. 10% is exceptionally low quality
>4:2:0 chroma subsampling(????)
colour channels are saves at quarter resolution. this is commonly used for photographs as human vision is more sensitive to the resolution of brightness changes (i.e. black and white) compared to colour. most jpeg's are 4:2:0

people who want to reproduce the results will care

i'm alright with anyone willing to learn, just know that you'll get negative responses if you show up saying "nobody understands that shit" rather than "can you explain what these mean"
what the program does is quite technical, and i don't expect everyone to understand how it works. people who don't at least get what it does wouldn't be using it in the first place
it's also not a silver bullet, the output does tend to be softer than the original. jpeg encoding loses information, duh, and you'll never get it all back

>>106199107
>i'm alright with anyone willing to learn, just know that you'll get negative responses if you show up saying "nobody understands that shit"
yeah I do agree. I am being hyperbolic partly intentionally, but also just venting from frustrations. I do genuinely enjoy learning, and I appreciate the explanations that have been given. You are right, though.

genuinely it is pretty impressive.

>>106199138
in your defense, while Lena is a go-to image processing example image, this project isn't really meant for photos, it even says so in the readme. he should have done an example with text at least to begin with, and he doesn't do any. i think you'll agree my screenshot example shows it off a lot better

>>106198951

well, you already did. also regarding >>106198835 (not me), i also find it a bit odd, not because someone needs to be familiar with saving jpeg's to be in an IT role, just that it's something he, and also myself, would expect someone who spends a lot of time on a computer to at least know about. like it's the one setting you should know about when saving jpeg's.

>>106198959
>Do you understand why using layman's terms are important now?
someone who works with computers should understand that this isn't always so straightforward. not everything can be reduced to laymen's terms, and if you try to hard to do so, your text becomes less useful to people who aren't laymen. this project isn't aimed at laymen in the first place, so there's no need to explain it in laymen's terms. at least he made an .exe for the few who do end up there

>>106199272

>>106199281
it's something he, and also myself, would expect someone who spends a lot of time on a computer to at least know about. like it's the one setting you should know about when saving jpeg's
what are you even rambling about, and who are you replying to? like 90% of programs that allow you to save in jpeg don't ask you what quality you want them saved. And even if they do, the majority of people, even technical, will just leave it at the defaults.

>someone who works with computers should understand that this isn't always so straightforward. not everything can be reduced to laymen's terms, and if you try to hard to do so, your text becomes less useful to people who aren't laymen.
oh geeze, so there's no solution to this? there can't be a summary at the top for laymen, and then technical details at the bottom? that's impossible so I've heard. We don't have the technology yet.

you might wonder why I'm so frustrated. It's because I deal with autists every day who can't get it through their magnificent heads that not everyone is as spirited about tech as they are. Soft skills are the most important in a career. It's not even tech knowledge that matters. the most brilliant people in history were also the most difficult to work with and were largely pariahs.

well there's also the issue of someone who is deep into something doesn't even know what counts as layman information. you say "laymen info at the top and technical at the bottom", but that's what i see on that page. he starts off with a few simple lines;
>Silky smooth JPEG decoding - no more artifacts!
>JPEG encoding loses information. But it is JPEG decoding that introduces artifacts by filling the missing information with noise.
>jpeg2png is smarter and fills the missing information to create the smoothest possible picture.
followed by a couple of pictures, and only then does it get technical
if THAT isn't simple enough, then the program probably isn't for you. and that's fine, too, not everything has to have mass appeal.

transfers jumping up and down in speed usually means there's a mismatch between read speed and write speed, namely when writing is slower than reading. like if the source and read at 100MiB/s but the target can only write at 50MiB/s, you may see bursts of 100MiB/s followed by pauses as the target writes it out at a slower rate

>>106199528
>>106199747
-- also note that there may be other factors than physical, like even if the target can do 100MiB/s as per the example, other things may slow it down, such as if you're writing near the end of a hdd (specifically) you can expect slower writes just due to the fact it's a disc-based media. filesystem fragmentation or other overhead can slow things down as well

I’m using ASR to transcribe a face to face conference meetings where everybody is talking/shouting over each other, and I need to do some AI magic to split the transcript into sub-conversations. Have audio stems for each individual speaker. Any savants know how to this?

Downloading game. I have the same issue somehow.

Should I disable the 9800X3D iGPU in BIOS? Does it hurt performance like it did a decade ago?

>>106200879
It's tiny and on the I/O die. So I can't imagine it either competes for resources or adds much heat. There's probably benchmarks somewhere with it on or off since YouTube reviewers are always desperate for content.

>>106200879
>>106201739
I'll offer a quick supplement. The two RDNA compute units are small, but with the assorted other components like the A/V encode/decode and so on, everything that you might count as part of the iGPU takes up about a third of the I/O die.
But it's still not going to be using resources during gaming if you have a dGPU.

Great advice, thank you so much. I've got a solid naming convention down but my process of backing things up could use some work.

I have a 6 year old 3600x+5700xt PC. It's been constantly shitting itself over the past couple of months crashing every few days. I have no idea why but I'm guessing it's getting old. When it crashes sometimes the display shows funky shit so I'm suspecting it's the GPU.

However I took a look at the prices and concluded that GPUs (9070xt) are expensive. I thought of just building a whole new rig but that doesn't seem to be economically viable, so I figured maybe I could replace one part at a time.

I've been keeping my eye out on a 5700x3d which has disappeared from the face of the earth. But I found a shop with it in stock (240 bucks). Is it a good idea to get this now and stay on AM4 with the endgoal being to eventually get a 9070xt? Or should I get a new motherboard with a 7800x3d (480 bucks)

You want to troubleshoot the existing problem before exposing new parts to defective old hardware. Run memtest+ and replace the PSU minimum before adding new logic components. New parts + bad PSU = damaged new parts.

So i've got an issue with Firefox. I've got Tree Style Tabs and some custom CSS to tweak it out. Just a pretty simple "expand on hover" type deal.

Problem is, it seems like when i hover, tree style tabs is expanding the tab bar behind the web page instead of on top of it. I've been searching far and wide trying to figure out what is happening and i'm coming up with nothing. If needed i can provide my userChrome and the CSS i'm using for TST

>>106203676
like >>106203817 mentioned, fix your shit unless you're fully comitted to an entirely new build. Slapping new hardware in a broken system just means that you're wasting money.

From what you describe, it sounds like a dying GPU is your issue. If you're going to spend *any* money for an incremental upgrade, you want to start there. Pretty much any modern xx70 variant (both AMD and NVIDIA) is probably going to be overkill for your CPU right now, but it's better to just get that over with than buy a new CPU that you probably won't be able to use in a few weeks when your GPU dies for good anyway.

The AM5 X3D cpus are only ~$100 more than the 5700x3D (at least in burger bux), and are on a relevant platform instead of a dead platform (not that it matters too much anyway), and are notable enough in performace gains over the 5700x3D that it's worth the price of the CPU itself.

All of that to say, put your money into a new GPU now, so you can continue to use your PC while you save up for the new CPU/Mobo/RAM/Other shit you need to incrementally upgrade down the road. If you buy a new CPU now, you're still going to have the same issue, and still going to need a new GPU anyway.

set z-index on the elements to a higher number? Make sure the context menu still draws over it tho

>>106204068
i've got the z-index in my userchrome set to

z-index: calc(var(--browser-area-z-index-tabbox, 10000) * -1) !important;

There's no defined 'browser-area-z-index-tabbox' variable, and even if i remove the calculation and replace it with a static number (like 10000) it still doesn't do anything.

as for context menus, they work fine except the TST context menu, which also draws behind the webpage, just like the tabs do.

I've heard that wireless charging is bad for your battery. Is the only reason for this the heat generated, or is it intrinsically bad in some other way?
If it's only the heat, why the fuck does nobody add a setting for "slow charging", so you could drop your phone onto a wireless pad and just have it drip-charge, either to keep it topped up during the day e.g. while you're at your desk, or to charge overnight? It's still more convenient than plugging it in, the main downsides are that it's still slower than proper fast charging and that it damages the battery. Why not lean in to the slow charging aspect and make the convenience usable without impacting battery health

there's a certain .pdf and .epub reader that lets you copy text from the file itself. I'm pretty sure it was called foxit, but I could be wrong. But I know I recall using a proper pdf reader once and I could actually highlight and copy text from the file itself. So if not foxit, know there's some readers that do allow this.

It's shitty client security because modern JS runtimes are performance optimized to the hilt and expose lots of host hardware features, esp GPU processing. Any time someone tells you they can run untrusted code near native speed with security, they're lying. It has never and will never work unless we drastically change how hardware is designed.

It's good for site operators because it puts maximum work on the client, which means less processing and code exposure for them.

>>106204215
A good phone will have "standard" charging as an alternative to fast charging as well as the ability it limit the max charge level to 60-80%. I have my Pixel 7 Pro set to 80% max and standard charge rate. I do not know if this applies to wireless charging, I only use wired charging.

why is copy/paste on firefox so fucked up?
i move a lot of text between sites and text editors, and every now and then when i paste something, Firefox messes up the formatting and styling, adds spaces or line breaks, or even refuses to paste the text for no reason unless i paste without formatting, a problem that i never had on chrome. then there are times where i somehow copy a text “wrong”, and am unable to paste it.
i recently switched from chrome, mostly because of ublock origin, but so far my experience has been worse in every single way

Is this the general general?
I need your help /g/. The situation is dire. And the problems are multi faceted. Theres psychological components to my issue like irrational fear of loss, discipline issues like inability to care for digital hygiene and technological issues like WD SMR and shit.
So here is the situation:
I'm on my build from 2015 or so. Cared about computers and alot of other things that now are mere tools to me autistically back then.
It's got 1TB NVME and 4x4 TB WD red in a btrfs raid. They might have SMR.
OS is Ubuntu 16.04 or so. I think I upgraded once since 2015 and also made all sorts of changes to it.
Also sitting on a pile of external HDDs of varying capacity with old shit I didn't need in years, like most stuff probably, but would like to keep.
No backups of anything run regular. But some backups exist, especially on the RAID. Mostly the product of disorganized rsync. Backups are messy, redundant, incomplete, perhaps even partial backups that are backed ul in backups.
So you see my computer is like a squatters house. I'd like to change that. I'd like all my files to be organized in my ~/ and everything else to be disposable. I'd like a device on me that mirrors my ~/ and automatically syncs to it two ways. I'd like regular backups to run. And I'd like my old stuff to be kept safe long term. Perhaps I'll sift through it one day. I'd like to wipe and upgrade OS and just automatically reinstall from a package list and keep my ~/.
The storage situation is a bit like a parking lot where everything is full and there's no space to maneuver.
What do? Please coach me through. I can't be the only one struggling with this.

How effective are robots.txt and user-agent filtering in reality? What's to stop some jeet with a scraper bot from simply ignoring robots.txt and spoofing user-agent on every website in existence?

>>106207119
It's mostly effective if the bot is bannable. The point of robots.txt is you're basically saying, "it's fine to scrape my site, just stay away from these pages". If the robot doesn't follow it, then any number of automated detection and anti-scraping mechanisms can be used to blacklist it. If it's some small-sized scraper, or anyone operating infrastructure not specifically engineered to be able to bypass blocks (e.g. without a massive pool or proxies and IPs available ready to use), it's in the bot operator's interest to "behave" and not get themselves banned from everywhere.

Of course if the operator IS set up for ban avoidance they can easily ignore everything and just hammer your site, and it becomes a cat and mouse game where you're trying to ramp up bot detection measures while the scrapers try to bypass them. This has been happening recently with AI scrapers, where shady third-party companies registered in the third world just throw everything they can at websites to grab all text from them and then sell it to AI companies. They obviously ignore every robots.txt, and this is why shit like aggressive cloudflare captchas and proof-of-work checks (like anubis) have been getting more common.

>>106206570
I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence and I'm not watching your video, but in my experience android seems to route hotspot traffic outside of the any active VPN. I've never tested it rigorously but I'm like 95% sure I've definitely been able to use my phone hotspot to post on 4chan without bothering to disconnect my phone's VPN first (yet I had to disconnect my laptop's VPN, naturally).
Yeah it's mediocre but android's VPN routing seems quite primitive unfortunately.

First thing to do is deduplicate. Backup solutions like borg or restic usually support it, or you can use a tool to deduplicate your current btrfs filesystem.
>https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Deduplication.html
BEES looks like what you need. I've never used either but it looks reasonable.
If this doesn't free up enough space, then you need to buy more storage, simple as. You can't backup your files without any space to back them up to.

RAID is mostly backup if you're not anal retentive (I assume it's btrfs RAID1?), but it's still not fully a proper backup, e.g. if you get ransomware or something you'll still be fucked. But if we assume you're not gonna get ransomware, there is one more scenario that's worth protecting against, and that's the rm -rf one: for this, just set up btrbk to generate regular snapshots.
If you want actual proper backups, that will survive even your computer going completely crazy (or getting ransomware...) and overwriting or destroying the drives, then you need to back up externally. Btrbk works nicely with a native btrfs external storage, something like borg or restic are more flexible. The best backup setup you could have would be offline drives in a drawer or fire safe that you periodically plug in and sync a new snapshot to, as well as an encrypted cloud backup in case some natural disaster destroys everything in your house. But you don't have to go full autism, even a little bit of safety is better than no safety, and RAID + snapshots protects against a LOT of data loss scenarios with minimal effort.

>I'd like to wipe and upgrade OS and just automatically reinstall from a package list and keep my ~/.
This, however, is orthogonal and also hard to achieve with most distros. You'd also need to save /etc, and make sure there's nothing interesting in /var or /opt, and you better not have installed any binaries manually.
