My pc broke and my dad is lending me his windows10 laptop while I buy a new one.

I want to dual boot linux on it to avoid having to use windows10, which distro should I pick?

I don't want to become some leet haxxor mega geek that builds all of his programs from source, I just want to not use TempleOS. The easier to use distro is the best choice for me

I was thinking of Ubunto, but I always see people flinging shit at it for one reason or another.

It was dumb of me to expect a quick reply? I am actually waiting for an answer as I am installing Universal USB Installer

Got myself a new motherboard the other day, so I bought some thermal paste/grease since the old stuff's probably never been changed and I know I've moved the fan/heatsink around a few times before. Since the mb came with a new processor as well, I decided to switch the old one out. I tried applying the paste (I did wipe the old paste off pretty good) and started up the computer, and all it did was spin fans. The light in the power button didn't even come on.

I'm sure everything was plugged in properly. Taking it apart, wondering if I didn't use enough of the stuff, I noticed a small scratch in the surface of the new processor. I thought that was the issue, so I got my old processor back out and reapplied the goo. It's still doing the same thing, just spinning fans and not going anywhere. I googled some answers and nothing good came up. Tried draining the power by unplugging the power cable and the periphs and holding the button down for 30 seconds, but that didn't do any good. All the other answers had to do with a dead mb or a dead power supply, and I know both of those are fine because the computer ran the other night.

For what it's worth, the old processor with the original paste still on it ran just fine, but that's shot now since I wiped it clear for the new paste.

Any ideas, wizards?

>>4025

If you mean creating a work under a free+libre and open source license, then releasing another version under a proprietary license or without source code, then possibly. If the original program or component is under a copyleft license, then you must pass on the four freedoms to whoever you give copies of it, although lax permissive licenses do not have this condition.

An example is the X Window System. It is licensed under the permissive MIT X11 license, which permits distributors to sub-license it in whole or part.

Anyone know of software for windows that will let you virtually move/rename files and directories all you want, then apply all the changes you made after you're done reorganizing? That way you don't have to waste hours waiting for each read or write to finish in between steps because it doesn't actually make the changes until you're ready to apply them. Seems like this would be fairly trivial to make so it exists but I've yet to find anything like this.

So I have a 23 inch LED that I'm using default VGA cable for. My system has HDMI port, and the monitor can take DVI.

Would switching cables have much benefit? Or would the conversion make it a waste?

if the monitor uses DVI-I then no it's still analog.

So I'm not great with tech. Currently desktop's hard drive is failing/failed. Only reason i know that is geek squad. What should i be looking for ina replacement? Certain brands to avoid/data size? I don't need a lot of space. All i really do is play skyrim/league, lurk chans if that makes a difference. Not really able to spend more than 50-65. I have a friend who can put it in for me so that isnt a problem.

>>4814

If you don't need much space, get an el-cheapo SSD. They're significantly more reliable than traditional HDDs (contemporary HDDs fail left and right who am I telling this) and your PC will feel much faster. The disadvantage is that they're expensive for their size (but you said you don't need much size).

A ~120GB SSD should be within your budget, and you might even get a 240GB one if you stretch it a little bit. OCZ Trion 150 is one good model in your price range.

I strongly recommend getting the larger one if you can afford it. Not only will you get much more space per buck (2x larger for ~1.5x the price) - in the SSD world larger capacity also means higher speed and longevity.

You might also need to buy a mounting bracket if your desktop's case lacks 2.5" drive mounts. Older desktop cases were designed for 3.5" drives only, more modern ones typically support a mix of 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives. Have your friend check whether that's the case (pun intended) before you go shopping.

I was a Chrome pleb and used to use the internet happily until the browser just stopped working. I could open new tabs, I could type stuff on the search box and I could change settings but whenever I would hit enter to access a website or search something the page just wouldn't load and would stay blank. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing. So I moved on to Firefox which is a little better but now after some time I got the same problem. Again, uninstalled and reinstalled it, nothing. And what's worse, this problem has spread to Firefox variants (Pale Moon, Waterfox etc). Only tor and Internet explorer still work fine but I'm worried the same might happen. CClean, Malwarebytes and an anti virus have thus so far detected nothing.

What the fuck is going on and what do I do?

Hey guys,

I've used Arch Linux for quite some time and I'm rather pleased with it, but with Firefox' recent performance improvements and move to GTK3 I want to go back to Firefox from Palememe. The problem is that I use KDE, and unlike Manjaro, Arch doesn't offer any repos with a ready build of Opensuse's KDE-patched Firefox. I've tried building it from AUR twice, but the compilation froze my PC for an hour and failed both times, so I don't want to repeat that. I've tried adding Chakra's repo for the binary package it claims to offer, but it appears to be dead. Is there some way I could alter pacman.conf so I could use Manjaro's repos for only the specific packages firefox-kde and firefox-kde-i18n-*, using the normal Arch ones for all the others?

Should I just move to opensuse?

old question but i can answer it

GIF is a lossless format (meaning the frames aren't compressed like your JPGs are) and therefore a single GIF frame takes up more space than a LPG image of the same size.

I think you can make non-lossless GIFs, i just don't know how.

Why not register proprietary elements with relevant standards, organizations and technology businesses (keep those elements protected (code-wise) from any "big company" shenanigans) and compatibility with open source elements will be there anyways. This way, the proprietary elements (which are protected syntax wise) are part of the relevant hardwares/softwares and you're getting a small cut from everyone using that shit... and open source elements are put out for free. I'm sorta rambling but the idea is similar to bill gates providing windows with every computer. Make sense? Not sure if I articulated properly.

I wanted to start using LaTeX cause as I know is way more comfortable and aesthetic than word for doing reports. I have windows in my laptop for now, so I proceed to install MiKTeX. Then, as far as i know, the best text editor is vim, so I installed it, but I got stuck when trying to install the LaTeX plugin (following this steps: http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/index.php?subject=download&title=Download). As I understood, I have to edit the vimrc file (_vimrc in windows, i can also edit the _gvimrc file). I also read I should create a new file in $HOME, instead of editing the default _vimrc file. I created ~\_gvimrv.vim and followed the second step of the download page, but then when trying to make the third step it promped something like "E151 no match". Then I think (cause actually i'm not sure at all if i did it right lul) i installed vim-plug. I wrote in the _gvimrc file something like:

call plug#begin(~/vimfiles/autoload)

Plug 'vim-latex/vim-latex'

call plug#end()

I also installed this http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite.txt through the powershell. That's why i get the correct file when i do :help latex-suite.txt. Also, I guess that's why now when I do :helptags ~/vimfiles/doc nothing happens (as i said, it used to promp an error). I know that the plugin isn't installed cause when I open a .tex file nothing changes, I mean, I don't have the template option etc.

Also i forget to mention that when i enter the command :PlugInstall it promps "not an editor command". I read that in some cases installing git fix that problem, so I did that, but still without working.

Maybe I'm too stupid for doing this kind of thing cause literally I have been struggling with this for almost the whole day now.

Btw which LaTeX packages do you reccomend me for formulae? Cause I'm writing physics reports.

sorry for my bad english, i'm not a national of a english speaking country

i got a list of books and author organized like this

----

Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis

Manias, Panics, And Crashes by Charles P. Kindleberger

One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre

Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd

Stocks For The Long Run by Jeremy Siegel

The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros

The Essays of Warren Buffett by Warren Buffett

The Handbook of Fixed Income Securities by Frank J. Fabozzi

The Little Book of Behavioural Investing by James Montier

The Theory of Investment Value by John Burr Williams

----

i would like to switch the book title with the authors using "by" as a point of reference

so that

"The Theory of Investment Value by John Burr Williams"

becomes either

"John Burr Williams - The Theory of Investment Value" or

"John Burr Williams by The Theory of Investment Value" (as i can remove the "by" rather easy)

i got Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Where does one hire an ethical hacker? A person has, after interaction with me, taken a serious liking to my username and has over the past few years registered it on services I really ought to have parked myself. How much would it cost to acquire their email password so I could remedy this myself?

Is codemonkey still restoring boards? If not, how do we get a board back if it hasn't been restored?

What's a good hsf for am3+? I've been using the stock one for years and it's started making a noise since I last dusted my computer. I'm worried it's going to die in the middle of something important and take the cpu with it.

Do we like the idea of using this (or a modified version of it with "/g/ - Technology" in it or something) as a banner?

Some of us are windows-tards at heart and like to use something that looks familiar. I don't use it anymore, but were it not for mint I'd probably would've never changed to linux

What's the ublock filter to block the disclaimer?

What the fuck is this site doing? I've noticed a few of these popping up online in a similar format, and while I'm assuming it's a shitcoin miner, I would be interested if it's doing something else entirely.

Look at hydrus for a decent example: store the images in the filesystem, with names based on whatever hash you want to use, and try to keep file access to a minimum on the db side.

Most of that shit is never enforced, and even if it was there's no way it will hold up in court. I wouldn't worry about it.

I dunno, try Noscript. I apologize, I'd give a better answer if I had one.

Are there any security camera solutions that offer person detection which is NOT reliant on a 3rd party network? For instance, the old Wyze Cam firmware had person detection that was handled by the camera unit, not an outside network. Wyze deactivated this because of software licensing issues (not to mention their security issues).

I'd like to find something that won't give me a ton of false positives (shadows/headlights) but also won't require Jeff Bezos or China analyzing my stream.

I've heard from some that 3200 is slow for a ryzen, is this so?

I'm considering overhauling my entire infrastructure and I'd like some advice. I'm Australian and this is on the back of recent discussions to consider ecchi anime involving children (aka, nearly all anime) child pornography, in addition to the regular illegality of piracy.

I have 14TB of existing TV/movies/anime/etc on my external HDDs. If I get vanned and refuse to give the police the encryption password then I face a 2 year jail sentence just for that.

I'm considering a seedbox for my ongoing downloads but the sheer quantity of existing content would make this very expensive even if I halved it in size by cutting the most easily redownloadable content. Is there a way to write a script for a HDD which would wipe it if it was accessed by unknown device?

3200 is plenty for Ryzen. Also get a fucking SSD, if money is a concern drop the noctua, the 2700X comes with a good cooler, it's enough even for PBO. The only reason to go for a non-stock is for less noise or looks if you're a raging faggot. Also i hope you're not spending any more than 5$ on ebay for a Win10 key.

>>12309

Consider plausible deniability encryption. You have an outer and an inner container, the inner one being entirely invisible and undetectable. If you're forced to decrypt, you can disclose a password, revealing only the outer container. For usage, you use a different password which decrypts the inner one. The inner one is nothing but empty space when viewed from outside, and in the outer one you place some non-incriminating but plausible files. Veracrypt has this feature for example.

hey /g/,

I hadn't used windows for the last 8 years or so, but had to dual boot for reasons.

Now, I tried installing two different free antivirus programs, but both asked me to "make an account" and "sign into My Kaspersky" etc.

What niggerdry is this? When did free programs start asking you to register accounts?

Any windows users here who can recommend some non-nigged free antivirus programs?

Does anyone know where I can download a copy of KMSpico without any viruses? I need it to get rid of W7 activation.

What exactly can your average isp operator see when they access your account? Can they see that I browse this site or various other imageboards. What does a vpn do for someone

>>13090

Bumping this question because im retarded. Not sure if info found through ad ridden sites is correct

>>12985

The C9 is great TV, worth making the room for

My windows 10 keeps getting blue screened thanks to the new update, I use it because muh games is there a way to use the previous update version or should I just give up and go with linux? It's annoying to restart my computer every 3 hours, I tried malwarebites and my antivirus on safemode and nothing shows up.

Is Proton on Linux really not an option? Make the switch if possible.

How do I concatenate n files together using wildcards and powershell in Windows 10?

What do you do to sanitize SSDs lads? Is ATA secure erase/sanitze good enough? I heard SSDs compress data, is that true? Does that mean that if you try to write all zeros to it, it won't actually fill up the space with zeros?

hey man, i don't know if you are still around, but I created f*ckbook account (i don't use fb) with protonmail, and then logged in to instagram, while using vpn or sometimes tor this whole time and it didn't ask for phone no verification once. Also make sure to set fb account like real one, eg uploading profile pic (ofcourse fake one).

tldr; use non-throwaway mail services to create fb account, then use insta.

hey anon, I don't think you are still dual booting windows, but I thought I might just throw it here.

It's a loophole I found in Bitdefender antivirus free trial, which is pretty based and which I used when I used windows.

So when you follow that link you will have to create a bitdefender account which you can create using services like inboxkitten.com temp mail services. Any way if you follow it through, you will get 3 month free trial, and then you can create another account and log out of previous one and like unlimited free trials.

Also I used to block all connections of windows os, and bitdefender with simplewall firewall software which is FOSS, and only allowed it when I needed to update bitdefender.

tldr; unlimited bitdefender premium free trials.

I got link from LTT.

>>13459

inboxkitten is also FOSS

I know I am replying to an old post, but whatever.

# creating list with each line as its element

with open('books.txt', 'r') as old:

lines = old.readlines()

with open('newbooks.txt', 'a') as new:

for i in lines:

# eliminating enter

if i[-1] == '\n':

i = i[:-1]

separated = i.split('by')

new_name = ''

# adding author name first

new_name += separated[-1].strip()

new_name += ' -'

for i in separated[:-1]:

new_name += ' '

new_name += i.strip()

new.write(new_name)

new.write('\n')

Create a new folder.

Create a file books.txt in that folder and copy all that book info in this file.

Create a main.py file in that folder and copy this code in that file.

Run main.py.

newbooks.txt will be created in that folder with required info.

Also I did some retarded shit like, taking care of shitty errors when 'by' is in the book title.

I am not an expert, but I think I know my shit.

Assuming you are using HTTPS version of this site, they can very easily know you are surfing this site, but actual data is encrypted. Your posts will go through the network encrypted. ISP won't have any idea about the boards or the threads you are visiting. But they will know you are using this site, as they will have to know this site address in order to send your requests here. This is mainly because if you are not using VPN, you are most like using the DNS resolver provided by your ISP, which basically converts human readable web addresses like lukesmith.xyz into IP addresses which are then used to send and receive packet from a site. But if you use other secure DNS resolvers, all your ISP sees is the IP you are connecting to as your custom DNS resolvers eg cloudflare has already converted lukesmith.xyz to IP address. But many time they can figure out from IP address that you are connecting to what site.

VPNs are good shit for these things, but TOR is based. If you use VPN, all you traffic will first go through VPN's server, and if you use HTTPS sites, then they will have no idea what you are sending or receiving, or to whom you are sending your requests. So, basically if you surf r*ddit, or yt or 8chan over HTTPS protocol, it will be nearly indistinguishable to them ie you ISP.

tldr; HTTP sites, they know what specific web addresses you are visiting.

HTTPS sites, they only know which website you are visiting.

HTTPS with VPN with non-ISP DNS, they almost have no clue.

VPN recommedation, ProtonVPN. I am not endorsing it, it is what I use. It offers free service and 7 day free trial. It's FOSS, and has no logging policy.

You can setup custom DNS resolvers for android and for specific browsers.

Let me know if you want to correct me or if you need my help.

I don't play video games so I don't know much about it, but switch to Linux if possible. It's awesome.

Also, no problem if you want to stay on windows, just use simplewall to block all connections to windows update servers and telemetry to stop auto updates.

Assuming you don't go to sketchy sites, you have very little chance of getting malware, so once in a while, if you are free, you can disable simplewall and update your OS when you want. Updating is also necessary.

Attaching cell adaptor (sim card reader for 4g and sat) to the GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi; do all makes use all 20 pins?

I can only find 20 pin models, but I distinctly remember older Pi's had only 16 pins. Were there no cell adaptors for these?

If I want to build a self contained sensor reading unit (with 4g/3g to email the sensor data as CSV or whatever) would I have to use one Pi as a router and another to attach sensors to the GPIO pins?

Can anyone recommend some Dark Web drugs markets which are less likely to take my bitcoins and run?

I'm in the UK (NI) if that makes a difference. Been looking at the new Silk Road and the sites linked on the Hidden Wiki but its hard to part with so much cash with not even a recommendation to go by.

Any advice much appreciated.

How do I get a certain linux vpn software from turning off after a period of time? Luckily it doesn't leak but it DC's me from the net and I have to run it again. I remember solving this before with what I think was some systemctl command but it reverted back for whatever reason and its not in my console history. I'm on arch and i installed the vpn with snap.
