On ubuntu I got several firefox windows open
When I refresh a big thread on one window, all of them freeze for a second
Can I have multiple instances of firefox that don't all clam up together?

I was checking my network connections earlier and one of the connections said CIA
is... is it.. it's just someone being funny, right Sup Forums?

No easy answer as far as I know.

Start several instances from a shell prompt?
You might need to create separate profiles for them so that they don't stop on each other.

Or disable javascript of the heavy pages.

Have there been any significant improvements in scanner technology since... Ever?
Mostly asking because I found an old scanner in some reject bin for a very very affordable price.

Uncomment the line in /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen as root?

i dont know what the hell is going on with my spare comps wireless. i put xubuntu on it, everything works fine, but somethings going on with the wireless. i can ssh into it, i can ping it from another comp, i can ping from it to google and other comps on the lan, but when i open a browser it won't resolve to anything...

the only way to get it working again is to restart the network manager, or restart the whole comp. it's annoying. its a dwa 131 usb.

Can you ping google from a command prompt?

can my second gen intel hd card run 1440p through display pot?

What's the best RAID level to use?

I'm extremely wary of buying anything tagged "gamer".

Is there some sort of category of laptop that fills the niche of being able to do game development.

>3D modeling
>Moderate modern gaming

I guess I'm looking for a laptop that can operate on the level of a modern budget gaming machine.

6

"gaymer" has come to mean premium hardware.
Check aser

try changing the dns servers in the network settings

So, let me get this straight. RAID 6 pretty much makes it so that all of the data on the drives are distributed amongst each drive and then doubled and distributed again so that in case one drive crashes, then you won't have data loss? or something like that?

It has 2 disks of parity,meaning you can lose 2 drives in the array before you need to replace hardware.

Sure.
Not for games or anything requiring resource intensive rendering, but basic desktop use should be fine.

Ok, thanks

would this work on linux?

If you can get ZFS then Z2.

Btw, how many disks were you thinking of having in the array?

can somebody guide me how to customize urxvt? i just want black background with orange font.

There are websites that will provide you a gui to get your ps1
Find one

Probably.
Guessing the usb thing that you plug into your computer pretends to be a wired keyboard.

Is there anything that runs straight bluetooth?
I have more confidence in its security.

Maybe 5 or 6. I've only got 2 disks right now but I'm going to have to buy some more soon because i'm running out of space and i figured maybe i should set up RAID if i'm going to get some more disks

bluetooth would be more secure?
I do plan on carrying this with me to work

Could you attach a heatsink to yourself and use active cooling to lower the temperature of your blood?

yes, it helps a lot when you're sick.

Logitech wireless security has had holes poked in it in the past.
Maybe they're better now.
But I do know that bluetooth has been pretty good. (Unless there'd been some news I've missed in the past year or two.)

What's a good open source music player for NSA/Windows10? I need to keep one of these garbage systems around to test backup software my company develops and I'd rather not have to use webshit.

I have some old ass 1.8v 1600mhz ddr3 ram lying around. MB is supposed to run with 1.5v ram. Will it fry my MB or will it just run at 1.5v?

mpv

I am in the process of making a new build to play a couple new games (Nier:Automata at present).
Original: ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/WhMpbv
New: ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/mqcZvV

As I am doing research it seems the i5-7500 is not significantly more powerful than the i5-3570k.

Instead of a rebuild, would I be just as well off replacing my GPU and adding a second SSD to increase storage?

thoughts on the Blackberry Q10
my moto g's battery exploded and I need a new phone on the cheap

Should I turn my Raspberry Pi2B into a Bitcoin Core node? An i2p node? Or both (or is that too much)?

Protip, I'm not asking about mining. That would be retarded.

I want to replace all my shitty 192kbps and lower rips with 320kbps or higher encodes. How can I check through all of my music for low bitrate encodes?

On a dual-CPU mobo, if I only have one CPU, does it matter which slot it goes in?

Blackberry is for high school kids and niggers. Don't.

>my moto g's battery exploded and I need a new phone on the cheap
Get a newer generation G.

Clementine

Way too vague. Check the manual

is this legit?

intel doesn't use pins for multiple years by now.

Total newfag to prolog.
When I try to resolve recursively, my argument returns but the final period never drops (so it looks to run forever until I place another period). Is this intentional?
It seems like normally things close after they resolve.

I checked the manual before posting... KMCA-D8

Yes

*the true/false returns
I need to get something to eat, I've been at this too long.

Do they all need to be the same size, make and model?

I'd go l2p node and bitcoin node if the btc fork fails. Just wait a few more months to see what the market does. Most l2p traffic comes from russia as well.

Properties? Audacity? Get v0 at a minimum. 320 still has loss

Free VPNs?

Why would a sim card work with some phones but not with a bunch of old dumb phones that were in working conditions years ago? Can not using a phone for years sort of blacklist its imei itself or something? Was it bad luck and they failed all at the same time?

So while messing around with an old P3 system I started poking around
and googling datasheets for some of the chips on the motherboard because
I wanted to try reading the System firmware image off of it (don't ask why)

while poking around I found the N82802AB Datasheet...is this thing the first
revision of Intel ME?

It is connected directly to the ICH and has some similar "security" features
however it looks like it lacks the ability to operate standalone.
What exactly is this thing? Is it a locked down 4/8 Mb flash chip or is it a early system management chip?

Posting this in sqt cause it doesn't deserve a thread.

There's a fork?

Anyone?

I'm moving from windows 10 because I'm tired of shit, but I still have all my work on it, what is the best/cheapest way to do a file backup onto an external drive.

Same size, yes.
Ideally different makes and models. (So they don't share the same manfacturing/design faults.)

Are botnet as fuck. Don't ever use, even for unimportant shit.

Wikipedia says that DDR3 should take a max of 1.5v and that 1.8v/1.9v was the DDR2 era.

Copy/Paste

Try a simple example and see how that behaves.
A different interpreter too, if you have one handy.

Control C + Control V. While software is useful for automating the back-up process, if it's a one-time deal that's irrelevant. No software is going to know the file structure of your computer and where the important files are better than you. And if you're not planning on using Windows 10 anymore, there's no need to create an authentic system image (even if you were I'd recommend just reinstalling everything).

Are the old dumb phones locked to a different network?

just copy/ paste silly

install teracopy if it's a lot of files

Should I do it?
16gb ram and 97w battery, but I don't know if I can replace the parts myself.
pls help

Btu. Bitcoin unlimited. A few big farmers are trying to get everyone to switch.

Different retard. Ultrasurf too?
I never used it on something of mine. Years ago everyone used it on public high school computers to play shitty flash games and maybe porn too.
Did we fuck up a bunch of ancient computer labs with it?

They're botnet in the sense of data mining and log keeping. Still susceptible to subpoenas and warrants. VPNs are shit. Better to use a vps and setup ssh tunnelling or your own vpn.

No, consumerism won't make you happy.

I want to store a bunch of different files offline and free up hard drive space. I don't have much, but I'm planning on expanding my cache of stuff.
Currently got 62gigs to move, should I get an SD card or get/make an external hard drive?
If so, which ones are cheap and not a ebay/aliexpress scams?

I need a laptop though, not because I want one, but because I actually need it.

External hard disk sounds like a no brainer.
If you have a spare laptop drive kicking around, you could even make your own by getting a usb enclosure for it.

I don't have my old laptop hard drives anymore, and I don't know which to buy.

Hi. I have a shitty netbook running linux Ubuntu.

I want to run Dwarf Fortress in a native Linux version but fml, I cannot figure out how to install it or run it or anything. When I attempt to cd the directory it says there is no directory or file found. I try to run it, it gives me bullshit,

Can anyone please spoon-fed me how to install this program so I can run it?

I know Dwarf Fortress is CPU intensive and my cpu is garbage, but I want to try and see.

Is the evga G3 series good?

like this one.

I need a small form psu to fit in my case.

Get whatever looks cheap, looks as though it houses a 2.5inch hdd, and has usb3.

Usb 2 is usable, but usb 3 is obviously better.
3.5inch is usable, but 2.5inch hdd means it doesn't need a separate power brick and is a bit more portable.

You unpack the archive in say Downloads in your home folder
So ./Downloads/df_linux/df from the terminal

Also these are the 64 bit libraries you might not have
libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libglu1-mesa libopenal1

How do I probe my own wifi network for holes?

Someone keeps connecting despite me changing the password, the device name is "Dank Memes" and it slows down everything I do when this shitter is connected. I tried asking my neighbors about their kids but none of them claim to have kids and no one in the family is doing this.

Please help. I'm just a wincuck shitposter who doesn't know where to start.

What type of encryption are you using?

I figured it out, one of my statements needed to be closed with a
>, !;

V0 peaks at 320kbps, on average it's lower.

Yeah, it looks like bullshit. I'll just stick with Core.

What causes BAD_POOL_HEADER in Windows 10?

No, it's not my RAM. Yes, I'm sure.

I've been trying to narrow it down. It SEEMS to have something to do with a driver relating to my video card and wireless adapter. My wireless adapter would always act weird and when opening a new tab, it would say no internet, but the other tabs would work fine.

Then, once I install the latest NVIDIA drivers, I begin to experience these crashes. I don't know if it's from Windows update installing their own driver or the actual driver I download. I can't seem to stop Windows from forcing a driver update over the existing ones, unless I install it without internet, but maybe it's still installing?

It seems like a driver conflict. Only fix is to re-install Windows. Is there a way to disable Microsoft's cuck-ification? Maybe through hosts? Fucking Microsoft.

WPA2. Also I don't know what the difference between encryptions is or how any of this works. A friend just told me "probe for holes" then went offline.

kek. Like private servers aren't monitored too. At least with a VPN you have someone to take the fall for your P2P traffic.

are ethernet cables like HDMI cables in that they all do the same shit just as well distance aside or do certain brands of ethernet cables have higher/lower latencies?

I've gotten into fighting games and i'm starting to get annoyed by lag/delay really fucking me over and I want to minimize it.

Yes.

Have you disabled WPS? Is your password strong?

They all do the same shit.

Hi anons,
Recently my computer has been randomly shutting down and not turning on until I leave it alone for a while and then come back. Used speccy to see if anything looked strange, and nothing was, so I turned it off and went about fiddling with everything in my computer to make sure everything was in right. Ended up trying to reseat my heatsink because my friend had a similar issue and that fixed it for him, but didn't have any thermal paste to redo that. Now when I turn my pc on it gets 70 degree temps idle and over a hundred if I try gayming. Is it fucked or do I just need new thermal paste?

There's differences, but it's unlikely to be your problem

ROASTE

Sorry, I should have been clear. Right now i'm using a wifi connection but I want to switch to wired, and just wanted to know if it mattered what cables I use or of I can just use whatever pair of them I can pull out of an old drawer or whatever.

How do I convince interviewers I'm enthusiastic? Usually I fail since they think I'm not enthusiastic enough. I'm sorry but webdev isn't and will never be interesting.

I've heard that the best course of action for two monitor setups is two identical monitors. Is it okay if I get a second that's the same resolution, but is 144hz instead of 60?

Kind of a general question, but I hope someone answers:

What are the benefits of hosting a website on a personal home server, over having the files stored on the HDD (assuming only one PC will use the files)?

Try to match their attitude, and maybe go a bit over that?

Unless the cable is damaged or in danger of getting interference from things like florescents, it doesn't matter. Most of the difference between cable types is a matter of shielding and max throughput.

this is like delete system32 the ultimate edition
