Is this a good option for a home server running a VM for plex and fileserver? I got the guy down to $300.

as long as the clockspeeds are decent probably
I've got a old poweredge 2950 with 1 quad core xeon @ 2.5ghz and it transcodes mostly everything in plex pretty well, it has trouble with 4k though

Is there a way to delete music that currently isn't in my foobar library?
I got a bunch of idolm@ster music and went through and deleted the tracks I didn't want in there (Like karaoke and drama stuff) and I'd like to delete them from collection since I didn't think to remove when I was going through it originally.

just find the files and delete them normally?

Right click them in foobar and hit "delete from disk" or whatever

I'd be able to do that but there's about 20 gigs of music I'd have to go through. Likely going to take me an entire evening to do so.
Already removed them from foobar, wasn't thinking about that at the time.

Re-locate them with the recents/recently played and then delete them

Anyone know of a decent rackmount KVM switch? I could go dumpster diving for one but I'd rather not fuck with one that's missing cables or not working properly

I'm hoping to setup a plex server that will be accessed by potentially 4 connections at the same time so I'm thinking worst case 4 1080p streams with transcoding.

the CPU is a Xeon E3-1225 which benchmarks with a passmark of ~6k. 2k(4) is already too much but it could be fine.

For a cheap price I think I can get away with this small server for now but I'm just curious if you guys could justify $300 for this thing.

i3 ones on ebay go for sub $200 with similar specs, $300 is a decent price
unless this guy is a I KNOW WHAT I GOT kind of guy

Is there an easy way to do this or am i fucked?

This is my .bashrc:

I want to be able to type webm2mp4 file.webm and convert it to file.mp4, but the way it is coded right now returns file.webm.mp4. How do I solve that?

is there any chormecast competitor that can i got this info from 2 different sources

Chromecast, on the other hand, operates independently like a "second screen" type device. You send a request from your phone/tablet/computer to Chromecast and it goes and handle the request to play video, music, etc on its own.

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48168448#post48168448

Chromecast's native behavior, on the other hand, simply accepts a request "hand-off" and goes to retrieve the content itself.
There's a subtle but significant difference there. In the Chromecast model, once the cast request is made, the requesting device (phone, tablet) is no longer necessary for playback (of course, you can't control playback). The phone/tablet/computer can be disconnected from the network or powered off, and the Chromecast will continue to play like nothing happened.

Explain to me like I'm 5 years old; what's the purpose of a namespace and class? All I can really infer from them is organizational purposes for the user.

I've had Visual Studio open for a while minutes and am actually trying to fully understand what makes a Hello World work, not how to copy text into the IDE to run a Hello World

Is libgen.io safe? Where should I actually download the books? I only know anime, I'm sorry if this is a retarded question.

>I've had Visual Studio open for a while minutes
For a while/about 20 minutes. Forgot to delete one of those

How does one manually install updates into Windows 10? I know you have to track down the specific update on the Windows update catalog, but every time I attempt, it gives me an error message.

I know the obvious solution would be to just use another version of windows, but I'm kind of in a jam at the moment. I need win 10 for some compatibility purposes.

Didn't see a smartphone general, so I'll ask here. Axon 7 for 380 or Oneplus 3T for 420. Really hate how Oneplus doesnt have expandable storage, although 64 gb will probably be enough anyways.

i just got a miracast and anycast dongle but i hate having to mirror the phone screen and not just passing off the content to the dongle to continue playing without phone screen being on like the chromecast dongle can. does anyone know if that feature is on those dongles.

Bump. how to use pl0x spponfeed

I've found a better way. But thanks for the help brother!

I'm sick of windows 10 shit, but I've never used any other OS than windows, any suggestions on any other OS or should I just pull back to win 7

Corrected:
webm2mp4 () {
ffmpeg -i "$1" -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -strict experimental -loglevel error "${1%%.webm}.mp4"
}

My laptop motherboard died a year ago, since then I had this i7 2630qm plus ram sitting on a shelf, replacement motjerboard easily cost 150 euros, pc-like mobos with compatible sockets cost even more

I hate to see this wasted, since I'm dayling a dual core now, is there a way to put it to use?

what are some good books to get into Electrical Engineering?

2 questions.

Found a 80gb hard drive. What should I keep on it?

How do I make windows 10 look a lot better? I like clean minimalist looks

>All I can really infer from them is organizational purposes for the user.
That's the entire point. It eventually adds some overhead to the final program but that's the price to be paid for easier development.

Explaining like you're 12/13; namespaces and classes differ. Namespaces are intended to be static and contain functions and variables accessible from anywhere. As an example, this is how you'd create and damage your car using namespaces-
// c++ ish
my_car = carnamespace::create_car("Fiat");
carnamespace::set_damage(my_car, 0.7);

Classes however are intended to be dynamic and contain functions and variables that act uniquely upon the instance of the class they reside in, so the same task as above would become-
// java-ish
myCar = new Car("Fiat");
myCar.setDamage(0.7);


Classes can be used statically and made to become a sort of namespace in some class based languages, such as Java. By defining the functions and variables inside a class as public static you can access them simply by referencing them similar to how you would with a namespace. So the same task as above could become-
// java-ish
myCar = CarClass.createCar("Fiat");
CarClass.setDamage(myCar, 0.7);


I'm missing a lot of importance details out here and making simplified generalisations about the difference methods, but that's a quick rundown for retards.

I moved from WIndows to Linux about a year ago, knew nothing about it so went for Ubuntu because it seemed simple and popular. Stuck to Ubuntu based stuff since because I don't like change, using Xubtuntu now. Apart from for gaming it's better in every way to Windows.

Ever since firefox became part of the soros' botnet it's been consuming an absurd amount of memory to the point of frequent lag. I used to get 300k~ mem usage, but now it's over double. Is there another internet browser I can use that allows me to block ads, but doesn't sell my info?

When do we hear about coffee lake? I want to buy new shit on cyber monday and need to know if 1700 or new intel i7

Firefox doesn't load flash (no html5) videos on a certain site anymore. I tried deleting the flash cookies for that site but it didn't work, any other ideas? Ubuntu & Firefox 55. Also updated adobe-flashplugin

Does anyone here use Whonix? Is it legit? Gonna install it in VM on windows 10.

I got a secondhand Linksys/Cisco SRW208P switch and the previous owner doesn't have the password. Is there any way to get into it?

Years ago, during a storm, my power went out while my old computer was on. When i turned it back on, the front usb ports didn't work properly. They provided power for things like phones but didn't transfer data anymore.

What could have happened?

Why do so many Sup Forumsoys shit on Google while Google owned Android has it's cock so firmly entrenched inside so many of their assholes?

I don't give Apple money and never will. I'm just at a loss as to why Android is acceptable to so many regulars on this board.

Post ironic shill reactionaries

ubuntu or mint, pick your 'tism

If I'm understanding your problem correctly, I think you just have to enable if from the red icon that appears to the left of the address bar when a page tries to load flash.

About 3% of the people on this board actually know anything, 96% know nothing but the popular talking points and 1% know nothing so keep quiet.

Which one are you?

Try out different forks, I think nightly is pretty good, but I've never used it.

could have been a small power surge that damaged some USB controller

if you're gonna put a bunch of shit on it go with the removable storage.

because not using a smartphone is worse than taking the big black aids ridden cock of google

you might as well, not going to give you any less botnet

I feel like someone might stop by to silence me shortly. I'm not a conspiracy type but I've often wondered why people who were fine wi

What is the reason behind Russians always uploading music as one track + a cue?

Always. Does it have a console port? If so, you need a console/rollover cable. Then fire up your serial tty Emulator of choice e.g. Putty/screen/minicom and reboot the switch.

Interrupt it's boot with ctrl+break then follow the online directions for bypassing the password. I remeber something about confreg and rommon. Good luck.

Is Arch a good distro to start with if I want to become more proficient with using Linux?
It seems like the Arch community is very active, and the wiki is incredibly helpful. I'm about to test it out on a VM right now.

In the 96% obviously, where else?

yes
you're drawing more power than it can handle
yes

iHow bad is it? like dont do u idiot. or it will probs stop working after a while

Looks like I'll have to get a console to usb, I'll try it out. Thanks my man

Is there a way to sort by folder date on Windows 7? If so how do?

my friend says he cracked a password on my android phone, and when he told me what it was i didn't recognize it at all.
it's 6 digits, numbers only, and he says it's "in the settings"
he won't tell me anything else about it

what the hell is this password and where can i change it

I got a damaged HDD from Amazon.

Should i use the replacement or refund option?
And if i use the Replacement one do i have to pay for the shipping myself?

Is there a way to implement generating functions such as those in pic related in Python?

Was not expecting such a detailed response, thanks

Same user here. Where can I find a 32bit iso of Arch?

Are there any [free] online courses/Youtube series/whatever that'll walk me through learning C#? The sources I find really don't explain syntax, the purpose of commands and so on nearly as well as they could

>32 bit
you get 64 bit only

Thanks for the replies, I tried a few times across a few of the last threads to get windows search-related questions answered but it was hard.

I've started doing a bootleg sorting for favorites by creating folders of tags I like, and adding shortcuts to images befitting sorting to their sorted folders. So what I'm doing is searching "shortcut" in a folder with dozens of subfolders, and trying to sort the results by folder date. "Date modified" fails this because each shortcut is sorted by date independent of their parent folders, and in the second screenshot that appears to be "details" view only, which kills thumbnails it appears.

Anyone?

Never mind, I found a dual iso from February this year. I guess the newest version of Arch no longer supports 32bit systems. I assume this will work just fine for me. Would I be correct in such an assumption? Also, what other Linux distros are great for a beginner to experiment with and learn from? (Sorry for samefagging lol)

Say you never received it to amazon and send it to the manufacturer for repair.

But i did receive it, and the other 3 packages are working.
DHL guy even asked a neighbor to receive it, which i picked up 2 minutes later when i was running behind the DHL car.

Not him but this seems like the most cuck answer. At the very least he should let the seller know he's unimpressed by not getting the product he paid for, and at best the seller would receive a negative review for it if the man is going to keep the goddamn faulty condition product

Doesn't know how to scam a loser who ripped you off

Oh, to be honest I thought the seller would be reimbursed, I feel like only amazon'd lose in this case since I've heard they're nice to work with.

Amazon was the seller, not a 3rd party store.

Amazon has tons of money to lose.
Stick it to the man!

yikes. Good luck, then. But I feel like even amazon would be able to forward this to a higher up and get it written off. Which means only the banks lose, which is considered a win/win for most people probably but idk.

Thanks for the help

So, should i use the refund or replacement option?
I need that HDD but i dont wanna pay for the shipment back.

I can't help desu I just wanted to say not being openly mad about not receiving your end of the deal feels pretty milquetoast to me

pls respond. Also this is considering the farthest I've gotten with programming is Hello World

Is it normal for EAC to take forever to rip things if you use the most conservative settings possible and rip as WAV? I'm new to it.

Hear me out Sup Forums. Minutes ago I accidentally turned over a cup full of nutritious liquids on my keyboard. See this wall of text? It was typed with a virtual keyboard. Yeah. And whenever this happens I always buy another crap $10 keyboard, so I figured on the long term I would save money if were to buy something better built. With all being said, can you recommend me a very resistant budget keyboard? Something like the Toyota of keyboards. Something that will gladly welcome all my coffee spills and cigarette ashes. Something that can be sent to the front lines of WW3, be dipped in mud, fire and water, ran over by a tank, and still work just fine. All while at the same time being cheaper than the average keyboard.

You could try not being a spastic moron. Also why didn't you just type this from your phone

just look up vodka proof

Old Thinkpad or White IBM keyboard.
Im not memeing that is exactly what you asked for, but good luck finding one.

Something cheap:
>Logitech K120

Something good
>Monoprice Mechanical Keyboard

Something really good
>Rosewill RK-9000


Unless your job or whatever you do implies you need to type a lot just get a cheap keyboard.

best youtube app for android?

Send back to amazon and ask for refund/new unit.

If you send to manufacturer, you'll get a refurbished one in return, and might enjoy the same "oh, my hdd is broken" issue within weeks.

Get a logitech K310. It's washable.

Funnily enough, since I have one, I even stopped spilling liquids on my keyboard.

SO IT REALLY WORKS WONDERS!

Piggybacking off of the amazon mention to ask a question I just thought of. A few years ago I ordered a drawing tablet from Amazon, but borer customs confiscated the driver CD. I managed to install them from the manufacturer's website, but I still lacked what I was entitled to with my purchase, and the documents displayed a UI different than what the latest one displayed. Am I entitled to compensation? It's been maybe four years, so if not anymore was I ever?

NewPipe, get it from github and install the apk

The first 7 days yes.
4 years later? no.

It's not possible to ask compensation for the retardation of your country.

Amazon did its part. The mongoloids opening the parcel didn't

Well I wish the money wasn't just thrown away then, because I assure you these ignorant assholes didn't even check the contents of the CD, or if they did they didn't scan it for embedded content, truecrypt containers...

Are you from Mexico?

Literally Canada. It was a package from the US. It was a Huion H610

Are you really getting ass blasted over a drivers cd than usually no one ever uses
