What piece of undocumented shitty software squid is!

Took me ages to setup a transparent proxy.

Is it OK to set it up like this? http_port 8888 accel vhost allow-direct Tunneled in ssh

I couldn't make the other modes work.

Re-asking since I posted before seeing the new thread.

What's the consensus on wireless mice? General browsing and gaming (tactical shooters like Arma/Squad/Red Orchestra mainly).

How's their latency? How's the battery life (they advertise like 3 months but I'm assuming that's just standby time)? Anything else I should know?

I've got a logitech G502 which I've had for a couple of years. Still going strong but the cable has become deformed and just from where it's been lying awkwardly and the braiding has shrunk and so it can't be straightened out. I upgraded to this from the G500 which shit the bed due to the cable as well.

I'm moving apartments soon and am looking for an excuse to upgrade my set up.

I have the same question regarding latency and battery life regarding wireless keyboards, too. I see those advertising battery lives of over a year which is just insane unless, again, they're just referring to standby time.

callisto was old thread faget

is google botnet?

I only set it up on pfsense box and it was fairly easy, checking few boxes up
but I did not manage to get it to work on https as transparent proxy

though lately it should be possible, even if not 100% fool proof, but did not work for me
waiting for some free time to backup pfsense config and try after going from defaults

I think the latency's noticeable, but probably only to people that really pay attention and are tuned to that. I think it's negligible if you're not a professional.

Does anyone know why my buttons are not aligned correctly in the emulator (left)?

I've got a really weird issue with a staticy noise in my headset. I've done some googling and another guy had similar issues. When the HDD spools up during intense processing, or even when moving your mouse during those times, I get a static noise. There's also a very prevalent hum in the background of my microphone which I don't believe is fan noise as it's there whether I cup the mic or move away from the PC itself.

According to that thread he might have been having issues with his PC not being grounded. What can I do to remedy that? I'm about to change my set up and so will be moving to use a different wall socket, incase that's somehow the issue, which it hopefully is. If that's not the case, what else can I do? I didn't notice the static until I upgraded my headphones to studio monitors, and so I'm tempted just to revert back.

Do guns smell the same after firing as fireworks?

Resolved the first issue by installing qt5-styleplugins-git and adding export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 to ~/.profile

Any advice for the second issue?

I have two types of users in my database (employees and suppliers) and I want to have a rating system. I want employees AND suppliers to be able to rate each other.

How would I be able to tell who is rating who? My solution was to set up a boolean, is it ok?

>user_rating_id (primary key)
>is_employee_giving_rating (boolean)
>employee_id
>supplier_id
>rating_id

...

why does one have absolute width but not the other?

anyone know if u can actually hack anyone with cmd

Help a brainlet out. How do I write a regex search in Python that finds all links that start with "http" and end with ".jpg" in a big html file?
I was thinking
re.findall('(http)*(.jpg)', response.content)

(where response.content is the html data).
Because first you have http, then anything, then .jpg
but this doesn't give me what i want. It just returns
[('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg'), ('', '.jpg')]

pls help

* matches whatever the previous token was. I bet you want .* or [^"]*

368 dp is the maximum width for the screen as you can see with the Yes button whiles the No button has the default width

Private internet access has, since May, been reporting the incorrect IP to users. Is there any way of knowing if the port it reports is accurate? If not, any way to determine which port is actually being used?

No, that's stupid.

Correctly link the ratings to a source and destination (person) ID.

Are you trying to get both buttons to be equal width? Put android:layout_weight="1" on both and set android:layout_width="1" and see what happens.

>* matches whatever the previous token was. I bet you want .* or
>[^"]*
Thanks, that actually works when I do re.search. But that only gives me the first result, and re.findall still gives me only this:
[('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg'), ('http', '.jpg')]

> Private internet access has, since May, been reporting the incorrect IP to users.
What do you mean.

You mean the DNS server referred by your DHCP server doesn't have correct associations between some host(s) and IP adresses? Or is it a NAT translation issue?

> Is there any way of knowing if the port it reports is accurate?
Who reports what port? Anyhow, yea, if the other side responds I guess the port is "accurate", and you can obviously test this with the correct IP address directly even if you don't have correct name resolution... but probably not if NAT or firewalling or whatever fails.

Ah, so just use the original person IDs and have two columns for rater and ratee?

Probably electrical noise generated by the PC components. Affects, in order of most to least- Front ports, back ports, Sound card and Dac. A dac shouldn't have the problem at all, especially if it's externally powered.

where can I get a copy of photo cc 15?

where can I get a copy of photoshop cc 15?

Personally, I'd be using a SAX parser right about now, or a DOM parser if the html file isn't too overly huge.
If you can assume that all links will be double-quoted and begin with http or https scheme, you could try
="(https?:[^"]\.jpg)"

From adobe.

derp, forgot a *
="(https?:[^"]*\.jpg)"

can only get 18

Is there an easier to use alternative to Shotcut for video editing? Need to be able to edit multiple audio/video clips together with basic transitions, but not much else.

This. Incorrect IP, and in many cases incorrect geolocation. This address came up as South African in two other public IP checks, for example.

I have zero fucking clue how this works, but it's not just my machine, from what I understand. privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/23853/pia-ip-changes

Shotcut is as easy as it gets.

Thanks, that works perfectly.

Is there anything I can do to combat it?

Why do I get panic/anxiety attacks at the first sign of internal pain? Right now my stomach is fucked at like a 6-7 /10 for pain, it's probably not that bad but it always happens where I just shut down and want to die despite it not being terrible.

What do? Already thew up the offending material and have taken tums/pepto to try and get rid of the pain.

Replace whatever parts are causing it. Probably cheaper to get a dac. It's one of the main reasons people get them since onboard audio started getting decent.

i always just camp out on the toilet until i feel ok again.

If it kept up for more than like an hour and a half tho id go to the ER or something

whats a good free registry cleaner for unused registry files?

Registry cleaners are a meme

Foreign key rater, Foreign key ratee, rating. Or some such.

but i need to use aida 64 trial again, and i dont have a key. same with malwarebytes

Ya fuck that, ain't paying for that shitl, all I probably had were some bad beans

As far as I'm concerned: Of course anonymizing VPN services can route traffic to random places to do the, you know, anonymization.

Yeah, a "registry cleaner" definitely won't help you with that. There are some programs that try to track down all the changes an application makes to your system during install, but that won't help you now.

then what the hell do i do? magically become an uncucked wagelet?

I want to burn a DVD-R of 007 Agent Under Fire for PS2 modding purposes.

I have the ISO ready but when I try to burn the image I get this message from Brasero:

>Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD.

Tried putting in a blank CD-R and I didnt get this message.

I could burn DVD's fine before on Windows, but now I'm on Linux it doesnt seem to want to work.

Any ideas on how to burn this iso? Tried bashburn too and that didnt work either.

You are supposed to be able to choose a location with this service, but I frankly don't care. I could go through Kim Jong Un's personal router for all I care. But only certain servers/locations offer port forwarding with this service, as far as I'm concerned is very important to torrenting. You see my concern, yeah? If I'm not told the correct port, or if I'm connected to the wrong server, I'm not getting the best speed I can.

Thanks fammy

Well renewing trials was a shit solution to begin with. Just find alternatives like an AV that's actually free (i.e. bitdefender). The shit you're looking for wouldn't work inside a vm, and most people who pirate shit end up getting malware pretty quickly.

Reposting from last thread

I ordered a 1080 from Amazon a while back, end of June. It was out of stock, but the deal was way too good to pass up ($500 + I had a $125 gift card). There's still no sign of it being shipped, and Support apparently can't even give me any kind of estimate for when it may ship. Other than cancelling and seeing if I can get something similar elsewhere, what should my next course of action be?

ol swapperoo on the second mission eh

Yup, was looking at other games to try out but managed to find 007 for £2 so I thought I might as well get that since its easier than finding another game.

Didnt antisipate burning a DVD to be a problem, but here we are.

Also I just played the first mission to save for the exploit and my god those controls are horrific. Up/down on left stick and right/left on right stick to move, and the reverse to look. Insane.

my computer starts up but when it tries to boot it gives the blue screen of death. is there any way i can recover the files from it? (such as pictures) i googled it and all i could find were indians trying to get me to download some programs from like 2013

Is my 4690k still relevant in terms of performance? Or do I need to upgrade?

Today i was surprised to find Vuze not working on either of my computers. They both gave me the same error when i tried to start it up saying a script had failed, and it linked to google.com/jsapi

What's going on? Can i fix it or am i fucked?

Do you have another computer?
When did the blue screen start, and any idea why?

yes i do and, no. the pc wouldnt even turn on for like 6 months and then we replaced the mobo/powersupply/cpu as we could afford them and now it will start up proper but bsods trying to boot windows.

Latency is only noticeable if you're playing FPS or using Photoshop. But I'd still recommend not falling for the wireless meme. If wires look ugly to you, take some time to tape them down neatly. When wireless keyboard/mouse battery's are low they start misbehaving, I almost lost my job because my keyboard spazzed out and did something it wasn't supposed to.

Well if you have another PC then just rip out the hard drive and stick it into your working PC, you'll be able to access it like any other drive then.

wait actually? this seems too good/simple to be true lol. obviously ill try it but what if the hard drive doesnt show up or something. sorry if i sound completely retarded im actually like really uninformed about these kinds of things

why dose firefox open unmaximized?
anyone know how to fix it?

Unless the hard drive is completely fucked it should work fine. It's likely that the problem with booting is due to some vital Windows files being corrupted or other hardware being broke. If that's the case then you should be able to just pop it into the other PC and be able to read it as just another hard drive.

Had similar problems myself and bought a new cheap hard drive, installed linux on it and managed to salvage everything. So good luck!

okay thank you very much ill try to not fuck it up lol

why are games stuttering on ubuntu 16.04

dunno

Is it reasonable or productive to repurpose mining rigs as feature-film-quality graphics render farms?

About:config or press F11.

You're going to have to re-flash the BIOS and do a VRAM check for any errors. Miners are some of the most abusive when it comes to squeezing the juice out of a GPU.

Can someone explain to me the difference between casync and borg?

I recently joined a new job (around 3 months ago) but I'm not liking it too much, and I'm considering applying to other companies. What should I do with my CV? I see three options, what do you think:

- Not mention this at all and only explain the (short) employment gap when asked.
- Mention it upfront that I'm currently on probation and thinking of quitting? I feel like this might hurt my chances.
- Or is this a terrible move altogether and I should suck it up for sometime so as not to hurt my employability and gain some experience?

It's not like my current position is terrible or anything, it's just not really interesting and it doesn't look like it's going to get better.

Are canned steaks safe to eat without cooking? I would assume they come pre-cooked but the can doesn't really say anything and my electricity/gas has been off for weeks now and I have nothing else really left to eat besides about thirty cans of steak I bought a long time ago when they were on sale and never touched.

300€ budget smartphone alternative to nokia 6, since its not available to buy anywhere?

I think there are better places to ask this, but don't they need to explicitly label it if you need to cook it?

28^131,200 = around 10^?

Why would I pay for mullvad, if I can just each 3 hours create a new account number? Also is mullvad the best vpn out there currently? (regarding security, no logs etc.) or is PIA the way to go?

Also is there any quick way without MITM analysis to check VPN security?

can't find it in about:config

Yeah, it doesn't say. I think it's this brand amazon.com/Weruva-Steak-Frites-24-5-5/dp/B001TM2A24/ but I got it at walmart not amazon.

With the pci passthrough you still install the motherboard driver stuff correct?

Good VPN?

What's a cheap host GPU for a GPU passthrough setup?

Because if nobody paid, the service would be dead you fucking asshole. It costs €5 a month. Pay for it. It's one of 2 god tier, genuine VPN services.

Is there a difference between asus, gigabyte, etc besides brand name or are there other factors?
I'm asking over gpus

They customize the stock gpu's that nvidia and amd provide. They might have custom clocks, cooling methods, etc.

Getting tired of my iPad Air 2. Did they release a 12.9 inch this year, or is 10.5 the newest one? I want the biggest screen, but also a fast iPad.

I am willing to pay you mongloid. I just wanted to understand, how they would prevent free usage. You also mentioned "one of 2" - what is the other one - PIA?

Any Nvidia GPU like the 970, 750ti, 780ti, or AMD 7970, R7 360 or RX 460/560.

Honestly I don't know. I think they are relying on people's good intentions...

The other VPN is BlackVPN. PIA is based in USA. So if you care about the gubbermint dont use them. Otherwise they're fine I suppose.

Need fuck all performance and want it cheap?
GT710.

131200 * log(28)/log(10) = 178658.69.

The 2nd gen Pro 12.9" came out last month.

Am I fucked?

Why won't my piece of shit G400 track on my custom chinkshit mousepad then? Is it the surface/material itself thats the problem?

I have a custom mousepad by a different seller, it's not as complicated a pattern (just a wood texture) and it tracks fine on that, that's why I was thinking it was maybe the pattern doing it.

>12.9" came out last month
Nice, so all the current 12.9 ones in stores are 2nd generation? And they have the same specs as the 10.5?

new thinkpad and fingerprint sensor won't work with fingerprint-gui. Do I just wait?

Which company makes the best HDDs? In terms of longevity of course.

They may still have some 1st gens in stock. Specs are pretty similar other than the smaller screen and battery.

Thank you user, so mullvad is the way to go out of all VPNs currently? PIA had some FBI confrontations before and failed to give out anything - did mullvad do anything similar? (or how can it be actually trusted)

Because ubuntu is a meme other than for working on projects

I'd say Seagate
