Can I get in trouble from my ISP for streaming pirated media from my home server through password-protected Samba?

>>106812101
SMBv3 is encrypted, so no.

I have a very fussy kitchen wall clock. It's very old, at least 20 years. It takes 1xAA battery. It starts to lose time with NiMH. I'm guessing it's because it doesn't like voltages below 1.3V or something, and NiMH very quickly get down to that. Fine, whatever, just put in a new disposable every 6-18 months.

I took 2xAA batteries out of an old digital clock my mother had. She had it since ~2012, had never changed the batteries. It was a digital alarm clock but she never used the alarm function, so all this time it only displayed the time with a basic LCD display. I checked the batteries, Philips Powerlife. Exp 2015. Still running today in 2025. No leakage. Still at ~1.45V. Neat.

I don't use many AA powered things these days, so to use all the juice in them I put them in two clocks that each use 1xAA. One, a little bedroom alarm clock, the other the fussy kitchen wall clock I mentioned earlier.

The kitchen wall clock started losing time, ~5-10 mins a day. The small bedroom alarm clock was fine though. I swapped the cells to ensure it wasn't an individual cell thing. It wasn't, because the same things happened with the swapped cells. The kitchen wall clock again lost time, the bedroom alarm clock again didn't.

(btw i know this is mountains out of molehills stuff, but it's interesting for me as a total electronics dunce to learn some basic things, that's the point of this)

Anyway so obviously the fussy wall clock is rejecting these batteries, but why? The voltage is still high so it can't be that. It must be something else to do with the age of the batteries right? Googling suggests to me the age of the cells has increased the internal resistance. Maybe that's why.

2/2

So I buy babby's first multimeter. I measure much younger cells at around the same voltage (1.4-1.45) as these old Philips ones. Not getting any resistance reading at all on any of them. Just says 'o.l'. Unfortunately I cheaped out, it only has one resistance setting on the dial and is 'auto-sensing'. Maybe that doesn't work? Or maybe it does by design but I got a faulty one?
However I have some completely flat-out dead batteries I haven't thrown yet, I measure them for comparison.
A couple of completely dead AAA Duracells give me readings of 3.7 and 3.8 MEGAohms.
A dead 9V rectangle battery gives me a reading of about 0.4 MEGAohms. So at least it can measure resistance.
But back to these AA cells at ~1.4V. Both young cells and these older Philips ones aren't even registering, it says 'o.l'. Not even registering at 1 ohm. I think that's the lowest it measure though, 1 ohm, no less.

So if the resistance isn't even registering, the same as fresher cells at the same voltage, then what is the problem? Why is the fussy wall clock losing time with these exp-in-2015 AA cells? I mean I assume it has to be something to do with age. But what specifically? If it's not voltage, and it's not resistance...what exactly is it? I want to learn.

UPDATE SINCE WRITING THIS:
I just tested a younger alkaline, but one with a lower voltage than the old batteries. This had 1.3V but is much younger (expires 7 years from now not 10 years ago). Had it in for about 5 hours now. Hasn't lost a second. So the clock isn't even THAT fussy about the voltage.
So again, with this old battery, if it's not the voltage, there's no measurable degree of extra resistance, then it must be something else to do with age. But what???

I will almost certainly get rid of this clock and get a modern one from IKEA (because they only sell rechargables now and they explicitly pair their clocks with their batteries, so it must be suitable for use with NiMHs). But I want to figure this out first.

Is /hsg/ dead? I would really need it right now, I'm the anon at >>106814120

I set up an Apache server with MySQL on my Windows 10 PC to run FreshRSS and an extension for it called FreshVibes. And after a bit of tinkering, it worked. I followed a YouTube guide, except for the "move the XAMPP folder to Program Files" part because that was giving me all kinds of errors that I'm not confident enough to fix. This is the guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_iQufgPkMo

Anyway, my question is: should I have done thing differently, maybe using Docker or something else? Should I have any security concerns? I'm also curious if I should now drop Livemarks (Firefox dropped Live Bookmarks for RSS, due to security concerns apparently, this extension restores them).

You don't need that anymore. You can make any android clean with UAD, that too without root.

>>106813145
When you measure resistance with a multimeter, the meter is trying to put charge into something. Internal resistance is the theoretical resistor which would be present in a circuit to account for the voltage drop a component exhibits under load according to Ohm's law. You measure that with a resistor across a battery and the voltage function on the meter. It's not a literal resistor, it's the side effect of your current source having internal losses.

His wall clock works as long as the voltage is >1V.
Coincidentally, he's got the same multimeter as me and is consumed by the same inane question as you.

>>106813145
To measure the internal resistance you need to apply a highly resistive load to the battery, measuring without a load won't give the right results.
https://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/Battery-internal-resistance
The XTAR Dragon charger can measure resistance, but I think that resistance is a useless metric in this case.

>fussy clocks losing time
This may sound like a retarded question but its relevant... do these "fussy clocks" have a swinging pendulum? If so there is a little threaded bit at the base of the pendulum that raises and lowers it and thats how you fine tune the timing.

Whilst I have a 35 day spring-wound pendulum clock (no batteries) I also have a battery powered pendulum clock and adjusting the timing is the same for both

>>106815523
What model and brand are your headphones though? This should be discussed over at /hpg/ but there's no thread.

Look at the most retarded thing uttered by an LLM:

> Regular expressions are a first-class feature in Diyrbal. The user-facing syntax is r/.../, followed by optional flags (e.g., r/hello/i). This presents a classic lexing challenge: distinguishing the / that starts a regex from the / used for division.

> Languages like JavaScript solve this with a “lexer hack”—the parser feeds context back to the lexer, telling it whether a / is likely to be a division operator or the start of a regex.

How about using a stack of states in the lexer?

Also, I told this motherfucker my language is Wirthan. In all Wirthian language, the divide operator is `DIV`, and `MOD` for modulo. `SHR`/`SHL` too.

One thing both Opus 4.1 and GPT won't graps when I say my syntax is Wirthian is, they think keywords must be all-caps.

Since the 70s, all Algol-derived languages have had case-insensitive keywords.

Why aren't "interviews" legally required to record their interview if they want to quote someone publicly in the newspaper etc? Like I know it wouldn't be done before the 1950s or something, but why not do this to prevent misattribution or made up quotes?

>should I have done things differently
If it works for you then it works. You're not wrong to ask this question because some stuff can be pretty temperamental about how you host it, but I think an RSS reader with a simple SQL database is among the simpler things and there's very little that could go wrong.
>maybe using Docker or something else
The advantage of docker is that your entire setup "lives" in the containers that can be easily managed, started and stopped, migrated to another machine, recreated etc. But if your current setup works then you don't need it. You could try using it if you just want to figure it out for fun or to learn.
However IIRC docker on windows can be rather annoying because I think it has to use a VM or something (due to most docker images being linux based), so it might be more headache than it's worth.
IMO if you want to get more serious about self-hosting stuff, getting a linux box is the way to go. A raspberry pi is unironically a good tool as babby's first linux machine that can feasibly run a server with a bunch of services, doesn't use much power, is very cheap so you don't have the commitment of buying a whole second PC as a server, while also still being a separate machine so you don't get headaches from dual-booting or running VMs.

>security concerns
Assuming this is just for yourself, the main thing you need to check is that you aren't exposing this service to the outside internet. Usually there's two components to this: the server will listen to some IP(s), and this is often set to 0.0.0.0 to allow everything, or to "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 to only allow your own PC to access it directly (nothing over the network). And secondly, your firewall - such as in your router - should block incoming connections (this is why e.g. running a game server requires port forwarding in the router). So you're probably fine, but those are the things to double-check.

>>106814210

Pixels come with basically stock android, I don't know of any others that do this. Pixels are also compatible with graphene which absolutely shines as the most normie-friendly way to degoogle, though it's also still slightly less normie-friendly than just stock full-googled android so maybe not for your usecase, you be the judge.
However non-"clean" android is still generally normie-friendly, like if you buy samsung your non-tech asperger gf and your 50 year old mom can probably both use it without too much issue. The most babby friendly phone possible is still probably an iphone.

Honestly if I was buying phones for non-tech relatives, then if they were at least somewhat competent I'd get them graphene for minimal botnet, and if not then iphone for maximum normie friendliness.

>>106816777
Because source confidentiality is kind of a big deal in classic journalism. Of course today the press is just a blatant Rothschild mouthpiece, but you shouldn't expect them to accept more accountability either.

>>106816777
A lot of legal stuff like this is very much done on a best-effort basis. If you're a reputable source and you misquote someone and get sued, that will tarnish your reputation a lot. If you're a celebrity or politician and you sue someone for misquoting, and you lose, it will cost a shitton and it could also still tarnish your reputation. So in general reputable sources will not intentionally misquote because the consequences are immense and the benefits will usually be negligible, and in general interviewees will not file maliciously because if they lose, the cost will also be immense.
Of course it doesn't always work but hey. Trump sued a bunch of media outlets and they all settled, because it's cheaper than a court battle, and I don't think misquoting was even an issue in any of the lawsuits. Trump just said "I don't like what you wrote about me" and all the newspapers said "ok here's $10million, we're not spending hundreds of millions on a court battle for years to prove what we said is not slander". So when the court systems are used maliciously by entities with too much money, the actual facts don't matter and recording or not recording is immaterial.
If you imagine an opposite situation, of a random joe being misquoted in a large newspaper and having his reputation actually damaged and trying to sue, even if he's right the newspaper might try to drown him in legal fees because they have infinite lawyer money in comparison. Or they might not bother and give him like $20k to go away. Either way the recording, or not, plays a relatively minor role - it doesn't decide who wins directly, it may at best influence the newspaper into whether they want to bother fighting.

Anyway, AFAIK it's actually common for journalists and interviewers to record interviews anyway, for editing later. And, also, voice AI has been common for like five years now.

>>106818336
>spend a month showing them all what to accept
I reiterate my stance of either graphmeme or iphone.
On graphene you can run google play as a user app (so sandboxed, without system-level permissions), and when installing apps it's very easy to deny permissions by default, including network permission. Stock android is very very generous to app devs and for example, afaik the network permission isn't exposed to the user as a toggle, you just have to click "acknowledge" when installing the app.

Iphones, as far as I'm aware, are obviously not custom rom tier but by default, stock operation and especially the way apps are granted permission is still way better than on android, at least last I looked into it. Google is an advertising company with a phone/hardware side-business; Apple is a hardware company with maybe some advertising side-business if that. I'd never use apple myself but if I was going to give my grandma a phone and wanted her to be minimally tracked, and if she was incapable of making her own choices like knowing when to click "no" on the network permission, I'd just get her an iphone.

My laptop's fans are at full speed at 30% CPU usage. Is this normal, or just bad thermals?

>>106819053
What's the temp? Could also just be shitty fan curves.

>>106819438
Around 80 degrees C
The fans also go off randomly (if the laptop is plugged in), but that's just Windows's bullshit. Still, it's more stuff to make me think the thermals are bad

>>106811941 (OP)
whats the best free way to listen to books and turn pdf/epubs into audiobooks

I have a Hoover Fridge that I'm defrosting, the instructions dont mention anywhere where the internal ice is actually going after defrosting, and it doesnt leak out either. where the fuck is it going?

>>106819545
Yeah that sounds like the thermals are kinda bad
However can you check your iGPU usage? A lot of time it's not included in CPU usage, and if you're rendering something that takes non-zero effort from the GPU it can bump up thermals a lot. On my laptop for example if I boot up some light games the CPU could be at 20-30% usage but the thermals quickly go through the roof, purely because of the iGPU.
Incidentally on my laptop this also happens when even just watching twitch in chrome, and this is a work laptop I got a couple of years ago for fast compiling, so don't underestimate the power of shit-ass modern web design.

>>106819616
There's generally a pail to collect water condensation that is always supposed to flow down the back, my guess is it's also where the water goes when you defrost. AFAIK it's usually located in the parts that get really warm from the compressor and heat exchanged thingamabobs or whatever which means it dries out pretty fast naturally and doesn't need emptying (if you defrosted a lot then you get effectively a shitty humidifier in your room for a little while)

>>106819651
ah I see, that makes sense. thanks

googleapis.com down or slow for you?

>>106819628
The iGPU is indeed at more than 95%, it's running a game. But the temperature of the iGPU somehow stays below 70 degrees consistently

>>106819974
Odd temp readouts but I would honestly chalk that up to just sensor position/labelling being unintuitive. If the CPU at 30% is 80*C but the iGPU is running at full tilt is only 70*C, the iGPU is probably to blame and temp is probably reporting something else.
If you want to make sure of that try running a CPU-only load, maybe using stress-ng or try compiling something on just a few cores. See if you can keep your CPU at like 30-50% load for a while and check the temps and your fan speeds, I bet it won't be as high.

You basically need to look at example photos from reviews and compare them
Specs are hard to compare directly, megapixels are one thing, the lenses are another (digital cameras will always be far superior to phone ones in the lens aspect because of the extra physical space they have to put in proper optics), and phones always have a trillion digital processing steps which can vastly affect the image - from genuine improvements like multi-shot HDR, to how they handle low light exposure, to shit like AI based sharpening which can sometimes look decent and sometimes not really

Why would source confidentiality apply here? I am not saying they have to do it whenever they refer to some source who said something. I am saying that in cases where they want to explicitly quote someone saying something directly to them they have to have it recorded.

Like when Templeton makes up quotes which he then attributes to specific people with public profile (like Daniels, or that guy who then said he wished he could say something so smart) or even when he spiced up the story from the homeless vet, whose name he still put in the paper.

>And, also, voice AI has been common for like five years now.
That's why you give a recording to the person who interviewed you right after. Regardless of what the recording might do in the court, I am thinking that any journalist would think twice before making up shit someone said if he knows that said someone has an exact recording of what you and he/she talked about. You could even have the recording device "fingerprint" the recording file somehow, so that it would always mark the recording's meta data with some serial number that marks the recording device, so it could be even verifiable that the recording came from the journalist's device.

>That's why you give a recording to the person who interviewed you right after.
I have no idea what the point is.
If recordings were some uncontrovertible evidence, then the journalist keeping a recording would be sufficient: the court subpoenas the media outlet, gets the recording, it shows the truth, case settled.
But they're not, so in both cases people will argue that the recording could be edited or faked. If there are two versions of the recordings and they mismatch, this is even worse - it's now guaranteed that one is edited, and if you can prove which one it is (through some forensic analysis of the audio) then wonderful, but if the editing was careful enough then it's back to he-said she-said. But if you could prove the recording was edited then you could do it even if there was only one recording, if your lawyers are good enough to argue for it and demand a forensic analysis.
>fingerprint
Any such fingerprint could be faked unless it's some retarded bullshit like each device having to have a TPM that can sign the recording with its private key.
Hm, maybe that could work. The subject cannot edit it without access to the journalist's recorder's TPM, then, and it will very likely be proven genuine.

Yeah, in this case I think you're right, it might genuinely work.
The answer for "why isn't this mandated" is probably some mixture of, nobody has thought of it being important enough to mandate, and also practical considerations regarding forcing every journalist to carry some botnet TPM-enabled device. What constitutes a journalist, will a local newspaper be held liable if they don't do this, will a school journal? What if you're an FSF journalist but only botnet closed devices exist that comply with the law, and you refuse to use non-free devices?

How the hell do I use bluetooth?

I have ~30 pictures on my phone that I want to have on my computer. My phone has bluetooth. My computer has bluetooth. Files can be transferred over bluetooth. In my mind it should be as simple as connecting the two bluetooth devices, telling my phone what I want to send, telling my computer where to put the files it receives, and bob's your uncle.

But noooo, My computer shows up on my phone, and I try to connect to it, but nothing happens. No "failed to connect" no error message, nothing. It just suddenly lets me try and connect to it again.

I'm actually working with 2 computers at once, and both have bluetooth enabled, and I'm having the same issues with both. One is a 2016 inspriron 7559 running win10 and the other is a ~2010 Vostro 3700 running win7. I use the vostro to remote into the inspiron because the inspiron's display is shot so if I want it to be portable I have to use another laptop and use remote desktop. The phone is a motorola 2022 5G stylus.

>>106821388
I think it might have been as simple as, almost nobody uses the feature and devs don't want to spend the time maintaining it, therefore if it was left in it'd just get buggy over time with nobody looking at it or updating it, and that could potentially cause security issues. Removing it guarantees that it will never cause a security issue.
It's the concept of "attack surface" if you've heard of it, the more features and components a piece of software has the higher the odds that something somewhere has a bug that can be exploited resulting in a security vulnerability. So, removing features that nobody uses always slightly improves security.

All I want is for my laptop to not be turbo fan screeching when I boot it up, but I want to open somethjing and manually go "screech please" until I turn it off and launch my games, then turn it off when I'm done gaming.

Is this too much to ask for?
AWCC tries to do updates/datamine me (showing games I play) and creating "profiles" for shit, fucker, all I want is a button or setting to turn fans up and down. I don't want this bloat.

>>106822682
Rivatuner or speedfan

is it worth making a Linux VM (I'm thinking Mint) to try it out/tinker with it and get a feel for the experience? I don't want to give up Windows as my main OS (on a laptop and I wanna be able to play games), but I am also getting beyond frustrated with how bad it's getting otherwise.

I tried a USB boot earlier, but the brightness control was fucked up, and it reset itself after the first reboot, so I don't know if that's the way to go. Also running an OS on a USB stick feels like performance will be degraded a lot. I also heard dual boot rapes your system so I won't do that.

yes it is worth it, I usually recommend Fedora or Debian

>>106822942

Why those? Yesterday I asked a similar question and an anon mentioned Mint. I guess I could try them out as well, but is there really any meaningful difference that's not under the hood shit I will never even know about?

>>106823012
>Why
Debian - stable and simple, my tech illiterate mother uses it
Fedora - tends to support newer features I wan to test, has a massive community and documentation

no

>>106822240
Basically the two attractions are it ships easier than air coolers because it takes weight off the CPU socket, and at the very high end it has better cooling performance if you have a CPU and motherboard which can actually leverage that.

Negatives are constant pump noise, shorter lifespan, and they can leak -> equipment damage.

>>106823055
I'm not tech illiterate and wanna learn how to use the terminal a bit to be able to do things, but I assume that's independent of any OS, as all will have you do that.

I guess my simple question is, in the end, which one would you recommend? of those two you mentioned, or mint?

i have a samsung tv as a monitor run via hdmi @ 1440p. it acts totally fine most times except: if i turn off my display while my comp is on, say downloading, and i just turned my monitor off. sometimes when i turn it back on, all the colors are wrong, slightly skewed like a blue looks more like a turquoise, all the colors are shifted. if i turn the monitor off and back on, it goes back to normal. this same behavior never shows up when the comp goes to sleep mode and comes back, or from a cold boot. only when i leave it on for some time. any ideas? win 10, latest drivers etc

>>106813145
outside of voltage, there's also amps, and as a device draws more amps, the voltage of a battery tends to drop with it (and go back up once the load is removed).
when measuring a battery with a multimetre by itself, that's the open circuit voltage, that is the voltage without any load. and old battery with little to no use may appear to have a high voltage, but will likely suffer greater voltage drop when power is drawn from it.
it would make more sense to measure the voltage while it's in the clock, though if it draws power only in short bursts, a simple multimetre may not be accurate, you'd need an oscilloscope to see what's happening

>>106825415
>>106813145
ps. one thing you can do to increase the current (amp) capacity of a battery system is to use more than one battery in parallel. for example attach two rechargeables together positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative (ensure they're of similar age, wear, and both fully charged before connecting them together). this will double how many amps can be drawn from them for the same voltage drop

>>106821297
>Windows
You're using the wrong OS for this, Windows doesn't support file transfers over BT.
Android is also very shitty, it does support transfers but will only receive a hwitelisted set of file extensions. It refuses to receive .ovpn but will happily accept .ovpn.txt.
Your best bet is KDE Connect, install it on your computers and your phone, then send anythyyou want between them.

>adding another 8GB for dual channels
How do you plan on matching the DIMMs? I don't think it's possible, or at least not easily.

>>106822888
Dual boot is the right solution. The second best is a bootable USB with persistence, which means adding an ext4 partition to your USB drive and passing `persistent` option to the kernel command line in GRUB.
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/questing/en/man7/casper.7.html
Casper is what makes the "live" part work on a live CD.
Scream if you get stuck with the persistence thing.

>>106821297
the solution to making bluetooth work is to avoid using bluetooth and use anything else.
just use wifi, one easy/quick solution for one-off transfers is to use a web server, like i recently used ServeIt (f-droid) to host a folder on my phone which can be viewed and downloaded from from anything on the same wifi network and has a web browser to send a video to a friends' macbook

between my own machines i use syncthing to sync various files, and for one-off stuff i usually take the lazy route and just copy it into one of the synced folders and move it off on the computer i want it on

What you want is basically any modern chink gamer mouse. They typically get configured with an online webapp (you do need chrome with the modern USB web access standard thingy).

reposting >>106825224 here for more attention

Bit of a noob here with a headscratcher.
I'm trying to host a webapp in a docker container and want to make said webapp accessible via my domain on a wesbserver running apache so I can access it anywhere. I have SSL configured so I want to expose the container through HTTPS. But whenever I try to do so, it's throwing an SSL error. This is where I learned about reverse proxying. I understand the concept but I don't know how to actually implement it.

I then looked into Traefik but I'm probably too dumb for all this because now I"m getting a conflicting port. Traefik is trying to listen to 80 which something apache is already listening to so I'm kind of stuck. Anyone please point me to the right direction or if this all even make sense or I just misunderstood it all.

>>106825941
Put it in the bin.

>>106826352
>I have SSL configured
In Apache, presumably? You now need to add a VirtualHost, or tweak an existing one, with a ProxyPass:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName sub.doma.in

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/sub.doma.in_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/sub.doma.in_access.log combined

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
SSLProxyEngine On
<Location />
ProxyPass https://sub.doma.in:1443/
ProxyPassReverse https://sub.doma.in:1443/
</Location>

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/doma.in/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/doma.in/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>

# vim: set ts=4 sts=4 noet ft=apache

>>106826435
The two sub.doma.in:1443 URIs point to your contaimer IP and port, something like 192.168.0.34:8080.

>>106826435
>>106826450
Thanks! Yes, in apache. I have vague recollection of reading about this before I found out about Traefik. 3 questions:
1) this method means I no longer require to configure Traefik, right? I just expose the IP:port of the container directly using this?
2) I don't think my SSL cert keys are stored in that directory but they are indeed handled by letsencrypt. Do I make that directory, generate keys and add them there?
3) Assuming I did this correctly, which URL do I then access the webapp I set this up for?

>>106825941
>How do I dispose of an old PSU that started making weird noises
By PSU do you actually mean UPS or is it just a PSU? If its just a PSU (smoller, lightweight) you can just put it in the trash bag.
If its a UPS then call your waste management service provider and ask if they will pick it up or if you have to drop it off somewhere. Usually due to risk of lead contamination from dumpster truck crushing they won't pick up things like CRT monitors, batteries or big electronics but have a drop-off location.

>>106826612
>1) this method means I no longer require to configure Traefik, right?
Yes.
>I just expose the IP:port of the container directly using this?
You expose the container ip:port *to Apache*. If the machine running Apache can reach that port then you're done.
>2) I don't think my SSL cert keys are stored in that directory but they are indeed handled by letsencrypt. Do I make that directory, generate keys and add them there?
Use whatever path is correct for you, those are just example paths but the exact location of the files doesn't matter.
>3) Assuming I did this correctly, which URL do I then access the webapp I set this up for?
In my example that would be https://sub.doma.in/ which is ServerName+Location from the config file.

I need a gps tracker for my car, just in case. Europoor here so don't mention airtags or anything like that.
Not sure how those things work but it can work with sim card if it'll make anything easier.
I also need it to be compatible with some sort of app that can be installed on multiple devices that would send me a notification every time the car starts moving.
Any sugestions?

>>106827145
i've set up some gps trackers before for a friend's hiring business. just got a bunch of generic 4G trackers off ebay (originally got cheaper 2G ones, only to find those don't work as this country had just recently at the time switched off 2G service entirely). and configured them to connect to an instance of Traccar installed on a vps. traccar is free software, but you can pay them to host it for you if you don't want to manage your own server.

>>106827145
Burner phone, power bank, life360

>>106827145
>>106827190
oh also, you can get IoT simcards which are more suited for this rather than paying for a regular phone plan. these only need to receive text messages (for configuration) and send out tiny amounts of data, and there are simcards which costs peanuts but are charged by the megabyte (useless in a phone, but much cheaper for a tracker)

>>106827190
>generic 4G trackers
Are those just plug and play?

>>106827193
Cheap phone is the easiest way but battery life is crap.

>>106827207
>you can get IoT simcards
Sim cards cost close to nothing over here but i don't know what kind of device and app i should get.

My Samsung s20+ just broke, but I keep seeing that all the modern flagship Samsung phones don't have an SD card slot/expandable storage. What's my best option for a shiny new phone with a glossy OLED screen if I absolutely have to have an SD card slot?

>>106827230
>Are those just plug and play?
more or less just need to be wired up to power. they often have an internal battery as well as a backup. the kind i'm talking about are for vehicles so also have optional wires for things like ignition detection. you can often also call them with a phone to listen into an internal microphone
just follow the instructions to send it the appropriate sms/text messages to configure it (how often to send updates, what server address/port to use, etc). i'm sure there's places that will handle everything for you if you prefer, but i already have a vps and don't mind doing it myself so i'd rather save the money.
as far as the app goes, traccar is viewed using a web browser, as it's also a web app

(picture is an example of what they look like, not specifically what i got nor a specific recommendation)

>>106827274
gsmarena

also consider capitulating, many phones come with 1TB of storage nowadays, the only downside is that they're obviously milking the price but if you're already considering flagships (inherently overpriced) that's probably not the end of the world

I want to put a GPS tracker on our cats for when we let them outside. Any idea on where to start learning how to do something like what you're describing? Arduino nano with a GPS receiver, cell transmitter, and cheap sim card? We're using airtags now but I'd feel more comfortable with something that doesnt have to be in close proximity to a person with an iphone.

>>106827274
Maybe look at one of the motorola phones? Also instead of getting a flagship model, get a lesser model with OLED and an SD card slot and upgrade to a laptop for most stuff outside of cameras, texts, and phone calls where possible.

>>106827466
>Didn't realize there were decent apps that allowed p2p connection honestly
Yeah me neither for a reason. It's kinda insane, it's really not that technically complicated or a marvel of engineering (which is why there's dozens of clones), but I never see anyone talk about them nor anybody IRL ever use them.
People will literally praise how convenient airdrop is and grumble that androids don't have it even though cross-platform web-based shit like this just werks; so there's clearly demand for it but somehow the solution is some kind of forbidden knowledge that nobody has access to.

>>106827512
I'm fairly certain they sell GPS collars for cats. The disadvantage of any arduino based solution you can come up with is that it's almost guaranteed to be more bulky than a commercial product with a bespoke integrated PCB; cats are small and the bulkier the collar the more annoying it'll be for him.

>>106827649
Yeah, the bulk is definitely a concern for me. I'll have to look into a GPS collar. I kind of assumed you'd have to get a regular cellular data plan like you would for a phone or something, but knowing you can do low data, low bandwidth, intermittent transmitters might be a game changer.

Also airtags advertise 30 feet but they almost if ever work at that distance. And when you do get in range I'd say theres roughly a +-50% error on distance, and direction doesnt work until you're right on top of it practically or if the target is moving.

>>106827732
See if there's any dumps of metacritic data. If not then you'll have to scrape yeah. I've never used it but I've heard that beautifulsoup is the go-to html library in python, and should make scraping relatively easy with some trial and error. The biggest issue though is likely going to be various anti-bot measures, some sites can be annoying as fuck if you download too many pages. Rate limiting requests can help (e.g. fetch 1-3 games per second) but if the dataset is big it's going to take forever and if the site is being pissy they might still limit or ban your IP just because you're sending so many requests, even if it's not very fast. Good luck.

>>106826920
Okay, I'm making progress. I made an include.conf file in the includes for apache2 and I entered all the pertinent info. Now I"m getting a Proxy Error and apparently, the webapp in the container is refusing the connection for some reason I couldn't figure out - that or something before it reaches that port

why the fuck do I have to have a google account to download my banking app ?

Is it true it can be dangerous to keep my GPU fans not spinning for long amounts of time simply because it rarely gets hot enough for my fan control to signal it to start spinning? I noticed even if I set it at 1% on Fan Control, it's quite loud; it seems to have a minimal fan speed that doesn't scale as nicely as my CPU or system fans.

>>106823653
Power up the PC and see if 12V or 5V comes out of the socket. Conventionally red wire is 5V and yellow is 12V, but I wouldn't bet on it.

>Test RAM dual kit in Memtest86.
>21 faults found.
>Test two RAM dual kits in Memtest86, all 4 slots tested.
>0 faults found.

The company that sold* the RAM dual kit to me claimed they found no issues in their tests. No evidence or anything, just a message why they rejected it. I sent them the Memtest86 reports at least. Isn't it possible that the test wouldn't report errors if they don't use the same setup I had (they could see the CPU/motherboard in the test report I sent them, etc.). Is there anything else I can do? Go to an independent 3rd party to do something?

*I say sold, because I bought it originally in 2022, it broke down by November 2024, they sent me a different copy of the exact same model, tested it in December 2024 (Memtest86, all other components the same), no faults at the time.

Usually (especially in europe) there are laws entitling you to a refund for something like 15 or 30 days, and/or if the product is completely inadequate for its intended purpose. After several months, you're unlikely to be covered by any sort of consumer protection laws.
Warranties are entirely discretionary policies from sellers. You agree to the terms of the warranty when making the purchase. If you don't like how they handle the warranty, legally what this means is you're alleging a breach of contract on their part. Assuming they claim they are not breaching anything, then the way to resolve this is through civil courts.
In some countries there are small claims courts or similar, which have a much less onerous process than a full-scaled suit. However it's still a ton of effort and time, obviously, and it's really not a very clear-cut case because you'll show your failing test results, they will show their passing test results, and then what's the judge supposed to do?

Practically speaking, the way this works in reality is that companies build up a reputation for either good or shitty warranty service. Some companies are known for having nearly worthless warranties, some are known for stellar customer service. Leave a negative review with a screenshot of your memtest and contribute to lowering the seller's reputation for others that will consider them in the future.

Why aren't compiled binaries compatible across OS even if they share the same CPU architecture?

>>106830355
Short answer: OSes have incompatible APIs

Long answer: If you run your program outside the OS (given that modern OSes don't like programs doing this, for obvious security reason, that generally means running your program on boot without any OS at all), then you don't need it to be compatible, only the CPU matters
But if you run it inside an OS then it obviously needs to be compatible with the OS. OSes have APIs for doing basically anything and they are not cross-compatible

This concept extends above the OS too. For example if your program is intended to run inside a Wayland display server, then it won't be able to run inside an X server, because running inside a display server requires explicit compatibility with that server's API. The main difference between this and OS compatibility is that you can run programs outside of a display server relatively easily (i.e. all CLI programs are completely agnostic to whatever display server you're running, or if you're running one at all), but running a program outside the OS WHILE an OS is booted is not practically possible, since the OS manages all the memory and CPUs and does not allow programs to execute "besides" it, only inside its management.

>>106830449
But assembly for an architecture is just one fixed language right, and object files are just assembly code in binary? So, what is changing in the code across OSes?

>>106830496
Again, you are not running the code in a vacuum, you are running the code inside an OS. The OS has direct access to the machine; your binary doesn't. The OS allows your binary to run on one or more CPU cores, or can suspend it unilaterally; the OS allows your binary to write to RAM, but it could for example direct the data to a disk instead or RAM, or wipe or overwrite it without your process knowing; etc. etc. The binary does everything only through the OS. From the start, the OS is the one that loads the binary into memory and kicks off its execution on the CPU.
And different OSes have different ways of doing all of those things, and binaries need to be compatible with them else the OS won't be able to run the binary correctly.

Again, if you want to run a binary outside of an OS, you have to run it without an OS. That's possible, bare metal binaries do exist (for example, all OSes). But you can't run a binary while an OS is booted, and ignore the OS and do its own thing; the OS manages everything and binaries only do things as allowed by the OS, by communicating with the OS.

If you really need document editing on android, the normal way to do it is with google docs. It's all somewhat suboptimal on a phone screen, but it should work.

>>106830602
My point is the actual instruction syntax in assembly is the same across OS, so why wouldn't a windows compiled binary run on linux? Assembly doesn't know API, windows or linux. All that enters later when you actually execute it.

>>106830355
>>106830637
Because programs interface with the OS through library calls, which are just tables of memory addresses where functions begin. Change the table and program no worky. You have a similar situation with interrupt handlers on bare metal. The CPU instructions are the same, but if you want to do anything with IO you need context awareness.

>>106830637
Right, but the point is that to get those instructions to the CPU, the OS has to parse and load your program, and to do almost anything useful, the program has to then call functions from the OS.
The first point I actually forgot to mention and is itself very important, the format in which the binaries are encoded is different betwen OSes; there's a bunch of metadata telling the OS where the instructions are located, where static data is located, there's different conventions on the entry point and expected register states etc. It's not as simple as just a hex encoded stream of instructions that you feed directly to the CPU.

And then syscalls are needed to do anything that the program isn't permitted to do directly (due to OS security boundaries) and has to ask the OS to do, and to make the call to the OS function you need to know the correct API. Assembly very much does know APIs; they don't look like function calls, but rather they look like "which values are in which registers, what location you jump to when invoking the OS code, and then which values in which registers do you expect back when the OS jumps back to your code".

How do I increase the buffer cache size for videos in firefox? Preferably a method for those illegal video streaming sites that use third party external websites to play media

>>106830355
It's because the operating system (kernel) is what reads that binary via a system call and then the kernel tells the CPU what to do. A compiled binary for a particular OS such as Windows will not only have machine instructions for a particular architecture, but also information that the particular OS needs to know what to do with that binary.

It should reply with 'succeeded'. If it doesn't, your container may not be running or the port is not exposed correctly.

With media.cache_readahead_limit and media.cache_resume_threshold - they don't work with DASH streams tho so it might not work. Other useful flags are listed in betterfox's fastfox config on github.
However, for a lot of sites that use a custom (often crappy) player, the FastStream Video Player often works pretty well: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/faststream/

You can of course use cat-catch to download the stream too

Does anyone have a list of which are the last Thinkpads that are worth buying?
I need a new laptop for college

>>106831919
>worth buying
worth is subjective, not everyone has the same requirements. what is your budget and desired features

2 questions hopefully someone can answer or give me an idea on. 1. I bought a used 7900XTX and was playing helldivers 2 the other day and it green screened on me, any reason why? never had this problem with the card (sapphire nitro+ model). 2. ideally whats the most storage you need for a home media server?

>>106832268
2. a few Terabytes, assuming you're storing videos and images, the most you can get for your budget

>worth is subjective, not everyone has the same requirements.
I mean, I heard thinkpads went to shit about 20 or so years ago.
>what is your budget and desired features
My budget is quite low, but I am not worried since I expect to buy something old and used.
I just expect it to smoothly run Gimp, Onlyoffice and Librewolf, on a Arch or Debian install.
The only reason I want to buy a laptop is because I just can't write fast enough on pen and paper.

>>106832313
Mostly movies and TV shows I have on Bluray, minimum I was thinking 16-24 TB unles HDD's arent good enough and I should go for SSD's

>>106832268

One crash could be anything. GPUs and GPU drivers are very unreliable. Wait for it to establish a pattern before you start looking for causes.

>>106832748
Yeah that's fine for a 2 disk RAID1. SSDs not required or desired. Your realistic maximum is probably 8-12 drives in a 'home' setting. Unless you have a spare closet or air conditioned shed. Anything <=4TB isn't worth using HDDs.

anons, I've been using Onedrive (don't kill me) for a while now and I haven't had any issues and it (mostly) werks. But I've been wondering if there's any better/superior cloud storage that I might want to migrate to. What do you guys use/recommend?

>also been thinking about getting a large portable HDD (or SSD? do those exist?) to host large files like movies/shows there to save space on my laptop. Good idea or nay?

>>106828903
what issues?

>>106833245
it depends how you use it. for me i use syncthing, which isn't really cloud storage on it's own rather it's a two-way automatic syncing program just between your own devices, no third party service.
there's ups and downs for this, ups include not requiring an internet connection to work, your data never leaving your devices, etc. downsides are all data in a synced folder is stored on each device it's shared to, there's no option make it download only specific files on-demand/access (that would be a nice addition, not sure if it's planned).
if you use it with one device just to have a kind of offsite backup, then syncthing doesn't do that.

yes, you can get external/portable ssd's, they're a good idea if you want to free up space by moving off colder (infrequently-used) data

Probably super niche, but what's a good fast software for browsing animated .webp files? Not just opening, something where you can easily navigate to previous/next file in the folder.
irfanview technically works but loading longer ones takes a few second between each file which is annoying(and speed doesn't seem to change much between my laptop and faster PC so seems like a software limitation)

>>106835072
Depends what you're writing. Can you do markdown?
ODF is generally better, but for phones specifically I'm not sure if libreoffice exists on mobile.

You're already using microsoft word to create the files (presumably) and storing them in dropbox of all places, if google docs works for you it's not gonna make things much worse or anything so just try it

Like the other anon said, it's probably still a webp. A lot of sites have taken to forcefully serving webp images even when the URL has ".jpg" or ".png" in it.
Sometimes my friends send me discord image links and it used to always be formatted like "discorcdn.com/blahblah/image.png?format=webp&quality=whatever". You could remove those parameters and actually download image.png as a PNG. Lately discord fucked this up somehow and now even going to "discordcdn.com/blah/image.png" downloads a webp, whenever I want to save it I have to tell my friends to fuck off and upload it to catbox instead or something.

People have different definitions of this. There are schizos who only buy core2duo thinkpads from 20 years ago because that was the last intel CPU without intel ME. Which is based but it's not very convenient to use for daily tasks nowadays.
Others draw the line at the pre-chiclet keyboards (which were indeed fantastic). That would be xx20 models, but xx30 models can be relatively trivially upgraded to the old style keyboard.

For used laptops, the most practical cutoff is usually the ones with non-soldered RAM, because then you can buy cheap corporate refurbs with minimal specs and shove in a new stick of RAM yourself. I think that's either the T480 or T490. Those are both pretty good laptops, you can certainly consider them, especially for light use. Not good as a workstation setup but they're new enough to be plenty powerful for office work and school. The main downside is going to be the relatively old battery by now, I'm not sure how easily swappable it is. Also I think it may be possible to put a T420 keyboard into a T480, not super easy though so up to you if you're autistic enough.

New thinkpads aren't outright bad either; I have one for work. The difference is I wrote it off as a business expense, and I got it new which means I was able to select the specs I wanted, such as a proper amount of RAM. If you're buying refurb, then soldered RAM means you're stuck with whatever the old business put in it, which usually isn't a lot unless you pay a decent premium for the rare high-specced refurb.

An apple silicon macbook air is unironically not a bad machine from what I hear, with the massive caveat that it's MacOS only (asahi is still very much not great, even from M1 ones). If you're fine with macos then unironically consider them, if not then that rules them out as an option (and a T480/90 is my recommendation in this case).

>>106835910
Windows has an event log, in device manager or whatever it's called.
In my experience as a non windows expect it's often practically useless, but to my knowledge it's the best there is (again, to my knowledge). If you're lucky it might give you a clue such as a particular PCIe device or particular driver throwing an error right before the reboot. If not it'll just have no clues and have one error saying "system shut down unexpectedly" (plus a gazillion false positive errors from irrelevant background services that are always there for some reason)

There used to be this site i can no longer find, something like launchchad.net or something.
It was a sort Luke Smith meme site with a chad image, but it had tutorials/guide on how to setup many things/online services (web server, Let's encrypt for HTTPS etc.) It had a dark background if I recall and as I said looked like it was styled like Luke's website. Does anybody know it?

>>106837317
AFAIK windows is notoriously bad for debugging shit like this. I'm not aware of anything equivalent to dmesg or the kernel log that you get on linux that will show all device errors.

Though it's also possible the OS can't even detect the issue; if it's freezing and not crashing then it may not be an issue it can even detect and handle in any way. You can consider going through the typical debugging steps - boot into memtest and run that to verify your ram, run prime95 or ycruncher to stress your CPU and see if anything crashes, try unplugging any additional devices (both external and internal, up to and including your GPU) one by one and see if you still get freezes. It's annoying and time-consuming but it might help narrow things down if there's a specific piece of hardware causing this.

>overheating
I agree that it's unlikely since any reasonable machine build in the past couple of decades should at worst throttle down and cool off, becoming slow for a little while until it's no longer overheating. A complete freeze is not impossible but just doesn't seem likely.
However you can also install a system monitor (on windows hwinfo, on linux conky) and keep an eye on your temps, as well as your ram usage, your cpu and gpu usage, maybe even your hdd usage. If at all possible put these displays somewhere usually visible, e.g. in your taskbar or on a second monitor, so that if it freezes unexpectedly you can check if the system was under any specific load.

>>106837383
You can use git in termux, afaik
If you specifically mean github as in its webui, that should work on mobile too, though it's clunky

Would it be accurate to say digital devices require a pretty accurate voltage while analog devicesbare okay with half dead batteries?

Expanding all images/videos in a thread with many videos will just completely fail to load most. A few will load, and usually I can open them in a new tab, but even after I've cached them, no amount of refreshing and trying again will get the videos to play. And it's not a browser/performance thing, I can expand all and scroll hella far on old.Reddit (without it collapsing off-screen stuff) and it works fine for many times more videos that are in a typical /gif/ thread.

>>106837531
No. Voltage tolerance is just a design consideration. You can build digital circuits that run on <1V no problem. Usually when you have a device that needs batteries to be >1.4V it's because Chang took a chip that was designed to run on lithium and put it in an alkaline enclosure without changing the power supply.

>>106837531
What the other anon said, but it's relatively accurate to say that analog devices just run slower/weaker with lower voltage while digital ones typically need extra circuitry for handling it.
That doesn't mean analog devices always run well with lower voltages; a cheapo analog clock for example will just start running late as voltage drops. But if you're fine with a "weaker" device, e.g. a dimmer flashlight, then it works.

a dumb question, are programs like ShareIt safe ? i mean in a local network from a phone to a phone, do they download/take a screenshot of the photos/data you send from a phone to a phone ?

Option A (currently in use)
>orange pi
>external HDD (usb-powered)
>external HDD (self-powered)
>USB hub (self-powered) for peripherals and sd card readers

Option B
>some miniPC or NUC that might be able to pull one or the other external drives internal, no need for USB hub

Which of these would cost less to operate 24/7 as a NAS? The pi on its own is an obvious win, but with the other powered addons it gets a bit fuzzy.

>>106839736
Unless the miniPC you plan to use is super low power (if that's the case, why even bother), then option A is obviously going to be cheaper even with the peripherals

>>106839736
A is still almost certainly cheaper. The HDDs will draw the same amount of power either way, so it's between the hub's power overhead vs. the NUC's power overhead, and if the hub is even halfway decent its power overhead should be near zero. If it's a server, you can also probably turn off or unplug the hub most of the time - you don't need peripherals on a server 24/7.
That said a decent minipc will have pretty low power consumption, if you get a low-powered one like one of those N150 based ones. I think convenience should play a decently large factor here. Which usually means the minipc will tend to be better, but for example if you already have the orange pi set up and it works for you then cool, no reason to change it.

There is one more aspect to the power draw, and it's that miniPCs usually have SSDs internally, almost never HDDs (except maybe really old models, if you're buying used, but old models are never optimal for power consumption). SSDs generally use less power than HDDs. You can, however, just switch to using external SSDs with your orange pi too, which should give the absolute lowest power consumption.

Hating pathological buzzword inclusion is natural.

Stupid nig/g/a here, I have a couple of questions.

1. In a scenario of a malicious hardware-level rootkit/backdoor trough secret (CPU/GPU) opcodes/ISA instructions/logic gates what would be some ways to circumvent it if possible? Since it's "baked in" into the sillicon, could it be physically, electrically or chemically altered?

2. Building onto the last question, how can someone know which parts of a malicious, evil CPU, GPU, ISA, etc. are responsible for what? As in, for example, X, Y transistors serve Z purpose. Could "safe" (if any) parts of it be salvaged in that scenario?

3. How does WINE exactly work? How does it understand the different DLL's for software?

1&2) You have to understand your hardware platform. They're all different.
3) In the basic case it's a linker / loader for Windows programs which also provides some Windows library routines for Unix.

what if there was some device between your computer and the internet that just focused entirely on security

then your os could focus entirely on performance and not have to be updated every 7 hours for a security fix

But your pc is still executing the code/data/whatever...

I, too, would like to know.

Does 4chan X not work on Opera (not GX) latest version? Or am I just doing something wrong?

>>106838287
What is the fork?

>>106843344

https://github.com/TuxedoTako/4chan-xt/releases/tag/XT2.24.1

>>106838287
If you go to the insights page of jpegview on github, it's listed in the forks

>>106843344
Seconding xt.

Oh woops, this is your reply >>106843427
The fork mostly features slideshows, avif support, CBZ/CB7 files, and navigation changes. There's also a change to speed up startup in large folders

What's the best unicode symbol to represent electrical inductor symbol?
Is there a better symbol than, ﹏, for resistor?

What is the easiest way to use a laptop with two external monitors?

Do they make USB to HDMI adapters? Could I that and/or can I do an HDMI out and a Displayport out at the same time if my laptop supports displayport over one of it's USB ports?

Alternatively, is there a cheap monitor KVM people reccomend?

Also, what happens if I have two displays on my laptop, some content in one display and some in the other, and I just yank the cables out? Do they just reorganize themselves on one display again, or do windows actually close?

>>106844120
probably MST

reorganize

When opening up task manager, it used to have the CPU start at 100%, as all the processes load, then it goes down. Recently though it starts at 0% then it goes up. Why is it doing this? For some reason it's making me paranoid I have malware or something. I don't know why that would make me think that, but it did.

>>106844494
So can I not just use a USB-C to displayport adapter with a DP compatable USB-C cable and port on my laptop, connect that to one display, then use HDMI to connect to another display?

>>106845130
your laptop would have to support displayport over usb-c

I did a stress test on the CPU. It was at 70%, started at 70 degrees, and slowly climbed to 78 degrees. During the game, when the CPU is at 30% and the iGPU at almost 100%, the CPU temp is around 80 degrees. But I also tested with the CPU at like 40%, and the temps were still 70+ degrees.
I only did the stress test through a browser, but I think that's enough for something like this. I did use a real program for measuring the CPU temps and load, though.

I can just install an new NVME SSD and clone my old SSD's drive with windows and all into the new one right?
And if I boot up, how do I make sure it boots with the new SSD so that I can format the old one?

>>106845509
yes
set the disk boot order in bios

my current board only have one nvme slot. I'm planning to upgrade my 256gb nvme to a 2tb one. what is the best way to mirror my nvme to the new one? I have 64gb flash drive my and pc also have 500gb sata ssd attached but it's almost full. the 256 is also almost full but I can free some space. I'm running windows on this pc since I use it for work

>>106845748
get a usb adapter

For your pic related specifically, the issue is that the button is tied to microsoft's shitty AI that one can easily have zero intention of using.

>>106842961
There are, they're called firewalls, your stock router pulls double duty as one and large enterprises typically have dedicated machines for them
The problem is that a separate device can never be 100% perfect at telling what's real traffic and what's not. It would be very easy to disguise a keylogger sending out your keystrokes as legitimate web browsing traffic, and the firewall is none the wiser.

>What is the easiest way to use a laptop with two external monitors?
You plug in two monitors, assuming you have two ports for monitors.
USB-C ports may or may not have displayport capability. If your laptop has multiple check each one individually. If they do then yes it counts as a port you can plug a monitor into.

>Also, what happens if I have two displays on my laptop, some content in one display and some in the other, and I just yank the cables out? Do they just reorganize themselves on one display again, or do windows actually close?
At first, nothing happens
If configured, your OS can then reorganise the windows
If for example you're using linux without a DE, this won't even happen automatically, your windows will still be considered open on the nonexistent monitor and you'll have to move them back blindly. Most major DEs, and Windows and Mac, will normally do this automatically
Nothign ever closes because you unplugged a monitor

>>106845748
or get a second/bigger external, if you think you might ever need it, since you're clearly using your 500gb one and almost fully used it up
a usb adapter will obviously be a lot cheaper but also you'll probably never use it again
