How to get project into intellij?

Project structure is kindof like so:

├── a
│ ├── a1
│ │ └── src
│ │ ├── a1f1.java
│ │ └── a1f2.java
│ └── a2
│ └── src
├── c
│ └── p
│ └── src
│ └── pf1.java
├── e
│ ├── ch1
│ │ └── src
│ └── ch2
│ └── src
└── i


I want to get this whole thing into intellij, so that I of course can expand it and make new src directories and new .java files in them that can be run, where I want.
Also a1f1.java uses code from pf1.java, but I understand this is straightforward to set up once in Intellij?

When I try to get my directory (resembling the above structure) into intellij as a new project I either get the correct structure reflected in intellij, but .java files that can't be run (have red dots on them in project explorer) or intellij fetches the src directories automatically divorced from their siblings and parents, and thus get .java files that can be run, but the directory structure isn't reflected in intellij.

Don't

>What should I use to convert from .flac to .mp3
I use Audacity with support of LAME encoder for that. Look at Sup Forums wiki and you may find recommendations of some good transcoding programs that allows LAME.

>and how to preserve high(ish) quality ?
Be sure to:
1) only convert a music file to .mp3 ONCE, only ONE TIME. Since you're converting a lossless to a lossy file, you already know this.
2) always set the bitrate of .mp3 files to 320, which is the limit. The higher the bitrate, the better will be the quality.
3) choose the type of bitrate as either VBR or CBR, assuming you already know what are they.
4) use the technique of spectral analysis to check if the converted .mp3 file is good enough.
5) no matter the circumstances, ALWAYS use LAME encoder itself or check if the converting program has support for LAME. LAME is able to output high quality of .mp3 files.

For more information, look at interviewfor.red/en/prepare.html. Ignore the interview stuff and such thing. Use it more as a summarized mini-wiki guide to understand editing music in general.

Whats a good ffmpeg command to upscale old tv shows?


for %%a in ("*.avi") do (
ffmpeg.exe -i "%%a" -vf yadif,hqdn3d,scale=-1:540 -sws_flags lanczos -c:v hevc_nvenc -b:v 1M -crf 22 -c:a libopus -b:a 96k "convert/%%~na.mkv"
)


Here's my current one, but I would like to see this improve a bit.

So I'm reinstalling Win7, and I want to access my PPSSPP folder afterwards.
Will it be in the windows.old folder or will it be removed?
I also have a shit ton of roms on there I want to play.

Move to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with Western nations and host the site in some third world shit hole.

>convert from .flac to .mp3
dont, use ogg instead.

What is that red line supposed to be?

Also that car must be quite high... since doug is quite over 6" isn't he.

Are ATH-M40x's bad for using standalone with smartphones and laptops? Will it be too quiet? I have this problem with AKG 240s

a job was pushed onto me and now I have to learn what's the best way to make a security system that links via wifi cameras in a place to a public place were only authorized people can access a monitor the streams. the problem I have is not how to make the video signal reach this place but what criteria and tools I should use to protect the information that are going to be streamed. the guy stammered about a VPN and/or a firewall but I'm just a student and I have no idea of what I'm doing but still I have to learn to do it. I have no budget limit, so it's not like I want to make a cheap DIY solution just to end this crap.

tl;dr what security system do I need to protect a PC with sensitive data inside? VPN/Firewall, that kind of crap

Is there any reason for me to not continue using windows 7?

Why can't Sup Forums have sound webm and 5MB webm limit on all boards?

I love huge cars. I have a Ford Expedition. It's too small. I need to get an F350 Super Duty Chassis and turn it into a massive party car that's 25 feet long.

lack of future support? no reasons to prefer win7 over win10 when you can cut most of the telemetry issues in Win10 with some tweaking. also the ram usage limit is going to be fix with the next big update so I think you have no real reason that forces you to use win7
personal choices. no real hardware limit. the real question is: why is Sup Forums still using vp8

Sup Forums already struggles with bandwidth and chink moot is afraid that people will use sound in webms for screamers and to post stuff that can be subjected to DMCA

We should start a petition and spam Hiroshimoot's Twitter, email, and /qa/ until he upgrades the site.

It almost never happens on the sound boards, and if it even does, they get banned just like people who put the "your mother will die" shit or porn into webms. I'm sure someone who's an admin of a website has more sense than that and is just being pretending to be retarded.

In regards to DMCA, that could be said about having the sound webms on Sup Forums at all. There's entire music threads dedicated to sharing webms that are just tiny videos that contain an entire song.

DX12-only games. There is nothing else.

Dick vagina ah, ah.

I cant help if you're phoneposting.

I want to learn programming but 99% of courses are fucking shit. All they do is show you things and hold your hand throughout. What are the BEST resources for learning? The ones that show you things and let you apply them and actually learn shit? Doesn't matter if it's a book or a video course or whatever, as long as it's thorough and good

Out of curiosity, why do you think .ogg is better than .mp3?

oh and the language doesn't matter

Thanks for posting doug

Caves been there for hundreds maybe thousands of years. Its probably fine.

What is the best tool to check how much bandwidth all of the software my computer uses? It's easy to see how much Firefox uses or other individual programs but I need something that could show me all the programs which do anything on the internet.

Is having a computer run in my room to warm it up significantly less efficient than running a space heater?

Considering that computers are not made to be air conditioners, probably.

What if I'm mining bitcoin to offset the cost?

Perhaps I should develop a system of centralized heating using only bitcoin miners hooked to the thermostat, it could be surprisingly economical.

Home run Bitcoin isn't profitable unless you're doing on ASIC machines or very specialized hardware. Even then you have to sink quite a bit of capital into it first.

Daily question:

>Android phone keeps saying it's full, apps apparently taking up 11gb
>I know I only have 4gb of apps installed

How fix?

How do you have "4gb of apps" and "apps apparently taking 11gb" together?

Think this through carefully and you'll find the answer to your initial problem.

>in the storage menu it says 11gb is taken up
>manually count the app sizes in the apps menu and it is 4gb

My answer would be that there is a bunch of files in the apps directory which I can't get to without root I assume. I am very interested in how this actually happened.

When I open images on Sup Forums on another tab they're totally blank, when I open webms they might play for a split second and then the video looks corrupted. Is there a fix to this?
To be clear though, when I just click on a pic/webm to expand and show on the post itself, it shows just fine. On other websites images seem to open on other tabs just fine. I use 4chanX btw and also ublock origin but turning off ublock doesn't help but if I disable it then the images/webms work. How can I fix this so I can have ublock and still be able to open images/webms in new tabs?

I have a 2014 z72 silverado 1500, and even i feel jelous when i see a f-350 superduty 4x4

In Packet Tracer is there anyway to speed up the process of devices automatically obtaining an ip address from a dhcp pool?

What are the typical transfer speeds on 1Gb LAN?

1000 / 8 = 125 MB/s
but I have nowhere to test
but I doubt it actually does 125 MB/s would not HDD (assuming no ssd) limit it more?

>but I have nowhere to test
Setup an ftp server and transfer large files within the network
>125 megabytes/second
You can achieve this with standard sata 3 hdd's

doug is certainly taller than 6 inches

Trying to install Wangblows 7 on a Z370 board with a SATA3 SSD and getting this error, wat do?

Delete everything and then use gpt instead of mbr because windows uses uefi

Yeah I'm a retard and selected UEFI instead of USB in my BIOS, seems to be working now.

What is the best / easiest program to defrag my HDD? I'm on W8.1

Re-asking this here because people are being dumb in the other thread

How reliable are these flash drives? Do you have any experience with them?

Can you recommend any good online sources or books to learn the basics of java object oriented programming (constructors, methods, classes, objects)?

I need to move a motherboard + cpu from one computer to the another. Can I do this without having to format either computer? My windows is pirate, btw.

I downloaded Visual Studio 2017 and while I was playing around with it my cursor suddenly changed to a small font sized grey box that now overwrites existing text and does not allow the space bar to work and does not 'push' program text along.

If I want to insert and write some text , instead it just deletes the text it encounters and writes over it !??????
I have gone through the tool bar but cannot locate how to have it return to just a normal cursor.

My headphones are plugged to my pc's front and the jack can be a bit sensitive. It might cut sound if it moves a bit, but it comes back with some adjustment.
Unfortunately some games cut the sound until restarting it if the headphones are in a bad way for even a moment. Is there some way to get sound back to games/programs without restarting them?

I know someone's exact Facebook name, but it won't pop up when i look for it in Facebook.
They probably set it so you can't search for them.
Is there a way to find them anyway?
>inb4 tell them to add you
I have my facebook set the same way (that people can't look for me).

My microphone is detected by Windows, but not picking up my voice. It can pick up audio coming in through the headset at low levels. It's set to default device as there are no other recording devices, levels set at 100, boost does nothing, unchecked exclusive mode, changing sample rate does nothing. Restarted several times trying different jacks, settings, starting with mic plugged and unplugged, etc. Nothing. It worked just last week. Windows 10 updated since then, don't know if that caused the issue.

Pic is not my headset, but it is similar in that the mic is removable.

Impossible unless you've installed enterprise

you are really dumb

Is using DNSCrypt and HTTPS enough so my ISP wont know what I am seeing on the internet?

>hear windows 7 is a pain to install on post-skylake systems
>prepare for headaches
>it just werks

What's the catch? Everything seems to work thus far, no USB issues even.

Thrown in dnssec

Firefox decided to just fucking straight up delete my Tampermonkey scripts. Just gone after a restart. Are they backed up anywhere automatically?

> What's the catch?
No catch at all. MS was just sucessfull with shitting everyones heads with "skylake will work only with w10" marketing meme.

Send them a link to your profile?

here, nevermind. I completely forgot about the audio controller on the cord. Muted and unmuted it, works now. brb suicide

Do SSH keys private keys also contain the public key? I know that sounds retarded, but hear me out. You use ssh-keygen to generate a pair of id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files, the private and public keys respectively. But I read on some OpenSSL that the format the private key is written in (PEM) also contains the private key.

So: is id_rsa a keypair or a private key only?

Only DNSCrypt is needed to prevent your ISP from spying you. HTTPS is used to block owners of site and websites domains from spying you.

Open transaction, do shit, don't commit until you're sure. But confirm, I'm pretty sure mysql has transaction rollback.

Neat.

>Lots of porn
>No space left on Hard drive
>want to put it on an external
>dont want parents to find porn

what do?

encrypt

How does that work? typing in a password every time you plug it in?

>what do?
Have an honest and open-hearted conversation with them about your porn addiction.

>How does encryption work?
You could try and automate it somehow so that everytime you plug in the USB it searches for a file with the password and automatically decrypts, but since you just asked that, I doubt you could do that on your own. So yes.

help me out Sup Forums I'm really stuck

I fucked my OP3 screen up, can't see or type anything and now I want to access my data through my laptop.

My phone wasn't rooted or OEM unlocked, default recovery, full disk encryption. I can boot into fastboot, 'fastboot devices' recognizes it. I can't sideboot TWRP because the device is locked.

What do?

Could you re-flash twrp?

Best tool to make backups?

wtf is optane memory?
ram or a storage like ssd?

How does it normally work then

Could I if the device is OEM locked? I've got access to fastboot.

Also flashing a recovery will only affect the recovery partition, right?

rsync

password rar/7zip archive

Something in the middle, closer to RAM right now - it supposed to be a layer between ram and hard drive. It costs as much as RAM rigth now and does not realy make any difference. Its posed as a "new ultrafast nad ultradurable SSDs" in the "near future" though. So in short as of now its a full fledged useless meme.

By typing in the password. What I described was something that's possible, but hard to do, especially in Windows.

>Could I if the device is OEM locked? I've got access to fastboot.
An OP3 is OEM locked? I didn't understand that's what you meant by "locked". In that case I don't think so, but ask around in the OnePlus subreddit. If it is locked, you can get a screen repair and get your phone back.
>Also flashing a recovery will only affect the recovery partition, right?
Yes. I'm 99% sure, because that's how you install a custom ROM and everytime I did it the other partitions were untouched.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough, the bootloader is locked, so as I understand it won't boot any custom recovery. I'll try and see if I can get it repaired, but it would be nice to get an alternative solution in the mean time.

Coworker's kid put a password on his tablet (why does a kid have a tablet) and forgot it. I thought this was going to be an easy fix, just hold power+volume up and then wipe it but I came across a weird problem

It boots into system recovery without any issues but as soon as I press any button to try to move the selection to wipe data, it gives me a "No Command" error with the lil android and a red ! sign

Never saw this happen to anyone. What should I do?

Wtf

Did someone of you have issues lately with OpenSSH-Server? I reinstalled a machine with latest Debian and seems like they updated it Oct-3.

I've been unable to conect to sshd since the day Ireinstalled even if I redid all the private keys. Thank you, anons.

Is there any way to disable telemetry in Office 2013/2016?

If I want to hook up a 360 controller to to computer (windows 10), what kind of hook up do I need?
