Last one reached bump limit.

First question: I already have 8GB of 2400MHz RAM. I want to take 8GB of 1600MHz RAM out of my old computer to put into my new computer. Will the difference in speed hurt performance?

Second question: I want to take out my old 1TB HDD and use it as a second HDD in my new computer. Is it okay to just take out and drop in my new computer? Do I need to make any special precautions or anything since it already has files on it?

Third question: What would happen if I took out my old Radeon HD 6870 and put it alongside my RX 580 2GB GDDR5? Would this even work or make sense?

Thanks. I want to make the most out of the parts in my old computer rather than just let it collect dust and eventually break.

first: it depends what you use it for. If you do memory heavy tasks, it will run slower than just 8gb of 2.4khz, BUT if you are unable to do certain tasks with the 8gb then you have no choice but to upgrade

Second: No, should be just plug and play assuming your new computer is compatible with the file system used on the old one

third: you can do it. use the extra one to mine alt coins or something

I want to configure a tls terminating proxy ( a special type of reverse web proxy) for my home web server.
Does anybody have suggestions for what I should install? I want lightweight, fast and secure. Additional features like load balancing are not needed, its only job will be to terminate an encrypted connection and forward the unencrypted data to the back end

platform is linux

Anyone have any recommendations for a good file shredder?

I'm trying to install GNU/Linux on an old Powerbook G4. If I boot with yaboot, first I get this

shred, and its open source

then this and nothing anymore.

where do I even start debugging?

not familiar with the language your using but generally unsigned integer data types can only hold up to around 4 billion before overflowing, looks like your using signed ints which hold half that. switch to unsigned longs.

Just had my computer wake from sleep in the middle of the night again, this time it says it was woken by the USB controller which makes no sense since the only two wake armed devices (I just verified this again so it hasn't changed) are my keyboard and network controller which should only wake it on a magic packet which my tablet sends from time to time. Checked in powershell and there are no tasks with permission to set wake timers. Anyone know what's going on? Just some random power glitch that probably won't repeat itself or what?

malware

what distro? looks like a bootloader issue.

I tried Lubuntu because I can not find any other mainstream distro which still has a PPC port

Got an ASUS Z97-A motherboard and ever since I installed Ubuntu with GRUB2 it tends to add extra entries to boot/efi (especially when I boot into GRUB) when I boot until eventually there are so many that it will lock up at POST until I unplug my SSD so it can reset itself. I think it doesn't do this as much when I boot directly into Windows bootloader though I haven't been able to test it that much, and using efibootmgr as soon as I go into Ubuntu to clear out the extra shit does prevent the worst outcome at least, but anyone know why it would do this and an actual fix for it?

I received an email from person x, the email also has two CC: recipients. If I reply to person x, would all three recipients get the reply message?

never dealt with ppc before. try searching around for configuring the boot loader properly, maybe start here ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=994882

I think only if you hit reply all

there's nothing to configure because there is no operating system on the machine yet. my struggle begins when booting from USB

Question 1) No, it doesn't do any problems. They will work but at their frequency. An advice: Put the 2400 Mhz Ram into one channel, and the two 1600 Mhz in the second one. If they don't work in dual channel it will not do any problems. Controll first if your motherboard support the 1600 Mhz Ram!

Thanks, but this didn't fix it (although it now runs in

Ah gracias my dude

How much extra space should I leave on a W7 partition for updates and shit?

Also is there any reason not to disable hibernation on W10? I already have hybrid sleep disabled and this shit is wasting like 12GB of my SSD space along with probably a bunch of writes (though the thing is rated to 400TB total bytes written and I've only used a bit over 8 so far in the almost a year since I got it so I'm not that worried about that)

Assuming the hypothethical situation, I crazy enought to want to interpret the code of an game instead of compiling it (to make sure you can use at any os with the interpreter), what language I should use?

I'm looking for a second hand laptop, and I see a lot of people selling laptops with a windows 7 sticker (and license) who ""upgraded"" to windows 10. My question is, if I were to buy one of these laptops, would the windows 7 license still be valid for a fresh windows 7 install? Or are those licenses now only valid for windows 10?

Figured it out. I was sieving above max in segSieve

CD player will spin the disc 1 rotation, then stop, 1 rotation then stop, etc. If it's able to play the disc at all, it might take a full minute, at which point it sounds fine.

Got some issues, hopefully y'all can help me out with them.

Windows 10, Firefox 56, whatever the latest version of Sandboxie is, all installed last month, so there shouldn't be much issue with long-term bloat issues.

When I run Firefox in Sandboxie, I can't login to Gmail, and some sites just won't load. Gmail, I get to the page where I type in my email address, but the button to proceed to the password screen(Why are companies moving towards separate username/password screens btw? Especially as more users adopt password managers) doesn't do anything. I can click it, and it doesn't even start loading anything, same with hitting Enter. Other problem sites, the menu bars will typically load in, but then the content won't. Most sites work, but a few don't.

Other issue: New computer. Fast computer. 850 Evos, Ryzen 1600X, 1080 Ti, fresh Windows 10 Enterprise. It takes as long to boot than my old Phenom with the same 850 Evos, and then lags more once it gets to the desktop. After hitting the desktop, it's 30s before I can do anything, typing just goes letter. By. Letter. By. Letter. Or sometimes things get weird as I click other stuff as it's starting up. Boot, open Firefox, Ctrl+T new tab, amazon ctrl+enter for amazon.com, close the Slack window that pops up, launch Steam, go back to Firefox, it managed to type am before I switched to another window, now it's going letter by letter... And it finished with amazonmazonazon.com and another blank tab is open. Only startup stuff is Slack, CCleaner, and Logitech Gaming Software, and I've ruled those out already. What else should I look into? Everything runs flawlessly after that startup lag. Someone online said it might be Windows Defender.

Which leads to my next problem. Windows Defender. I want a real AV, such as Common Sense 2018. All the guides I've found to disable it are out of date, they show just one Windows Defender category in gpedit.msc, but there are a bunch. How do I disable it, and should I disable all of it?

Look at all of them words!

Did you mean eraser? My searches are turning up that and "file shredder."

I'm trying to create a dual-boot Windows/MacOS system.
I have a full system image of my Windows install, and a functioning install disk for Sierra (I successfully installed it earlier and then accidentally overwrote my MBR for Windows), so I now have a blank laptop and the tools to install both systems.
Now, for the kicker;
How do I install both systems?
Wangblows is demanding that it format the entire goddamn hard drive to restore, and it refuses to install to just a partition (wat). On the other hand, the only way to get Windows to boot with Clover (that I know of) is to install Windows through clover... which I can't do, because of the authoritative disk formatting, and the fact that it's not a fresh install.
Is there any way to swing this?

Well, I just tried to use Eraser and every time I try to shred a file it gives me the error. "cannot delete file the file is either compressed, encrypted or sparse." It does this with every single file I try to use it on and they are none of those things. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I just ran recuva and while it was able to recover that there had been files in the folders that I deleted them from the file names and contents were completely scrambled with gibberish so it looks like it's shredded them but just throws errors anyways? Going to back up my important files and run an empty space shred and run recuva again and see what happens.

is there a way to block all porn websites to an android phone

I used Brave browser but I'm willing to swap

I downloaded the latest firefox nightly for Ubuntu 64 bit

Mozilla Firefox 58.0a1

I also disabled pocket, and removed all the clutter from the home page of firefox and set the only search engine to Google in the search settings (removed all others). And I cleared all history and am using private mode. But I still see site suggestions in the address bar. I see Facebook,Amazon,Wikipedia,Yahoo, Instagram and some chinese sites like qq dot com, world dot taobao dot com, and sohu dot com, sina dot com dot cn. How do I complete delete any reference to these sites from my firefox. Should I download the source and modify it myself?

Edit: Alright, I ended up searching in the git repo. And a quick search for qq DOT com shows up a lot of files. How do I convince mozilla to stop adding these websites in their source code?

Turn off suggestions in the settings

I looked it up online. Not sure if it works.

For Android Device:

Step 1:

First of all, go to “Settings” and then turn on WiFi.

Step 2:

Now, tap and hold the current connection for some time. Now select “Modify Network” and then tap on “Show Advanced Options”. As the advanced options show up, change the IP settings from DHCP to static.

Step 3:

Now, go down the list until you find DNS 1 and DNS 2. Now change the current DNSs to use open DNS (208.67.222.123, 208.67.220.123)

spyzie /block/block-porn-sites.html

did that. The problem is that these sites are hardcoded in their build code. Just do a quick search for qq d0t com on the github repo of mozzillagecko-dev and you'll see.

And yet i dont have this problem.

you being hacked son

are you using the nightly build?

Yes, 58.0a1

sorry but a very stupid question. Where is the fucking option for disabling site suggestions? I can't seem to find it.

this is what I see bdw

nevermind I went into about:config and disabled every thing under the search for urlbar.suggest

I spilled water on my x230 and now it won't turn on.
Can I buy any laptop off of ebay that doesnt have ram/HDD and pop in the ram and SSD that was in the x230?

Stylish got updated, and it died. Only page stiles work, general styles like userstyles.org/styles/135593/firefox-edge-light-dark won't work.
How do I enable these styles to work with the new update? Maybe I'll just go back to the previous one.

Whatever, downloading the latest one previous to the 3.0 one worked. Didn't even have to install all my shit.

If you're asking whether the ssd/ram is fucked, how the fuck should I know?
If you're asking whether they fit in any* other laptop, yes.

I don't like the look of that asterisk
And I really don't know if the ssd or ram is ok, I guess I could pop it into my dads pc and see if it works?

Stylish is a literal botnet, it sends everything you type in the address bar to home base.
Use greasemonkey/tampermonkey/violentmonkey instead.

How long did you wait before turning it back on?

If I were you just wait a few hours. It depends how much water you spilled on it but I've done that same and it just turned back on later that day

nah just beeps at me and the power button doesn't work (had to use the dock I got with it to try it)

>I don't like the look of that asterisk
the ssd will fit. the ram can be annoying, but probably won't be. check the wikipedia article for so-dimm for a pretty good explanation. You can check this before buying easily.

>I guess I could pop it into my dads pc and see if it works?
the ssd yes, the ram no.

You have to create an account on a computer, choose the option "use mail instead", use temp mail for verification
done

use stylus instead nigger

I want to set up something at my TV for playing movies and games, and acting as a NAS/torrentbox, maybe PLEX or something. I already have a gaming PC so it wouldn't need to be too powerful if I could just set up streaming.
Which would be the right thread for discussing this, PC building general, Home Server General or other?

Can someone help a brainlet out? Just installed windows ten on my sick ass new rig but it won't connect to the inner nut. When troubleshooting it just says "Ethernet" does not have valid IP Configuration.

Idk what to do.

>Just installed windows
Found your problem.

>Stylish is a literal botnet, it sends everything you type in the address bar to home base.
If all it does is report stuff back then it is spyware. Traditionally a botnet consists of a bunch of compromised machines being controlled by a c&c server.

Creating a pig latin translator in java. Got one working okay, but have a problem with consonant clusters. How would I have the program find the two chars in let's say a word like "cluster" so that it's usterclay? charAt only seems to work with one value in the parentheses.

Tried googling already, seems like nobody really implements this part in their pig latin translators.

Got an X220 with the 6205 wifi card, was told to try disabling wireless-N features as a fix for connection drops requiring reboot to fix. I need to set "11n_disable=1" as a permanent parameter for the iwlwifi module. How do I do that?

>only seems to work with one value in the parentheses
It's just a shitty utility method. Have you list of vowels and iterate through the target string until you find one.

i lost my RAID 1 configuration in the BIOS because i reverted it to all defaults in hopes of fixing an unrelated problem. i forgot, and did not expect, that setting the drive modes back to default AHCI from RAID in the BIOS would clear my RAID configuration. now if i push CTRL+I at boot no existing RAID volumes are listed anymore.

i now have two 4TB hard drives with identical contents, identical names, identical file systems and cluster sizes. i've lost no data at all. if i were to CTRL+I and boot into the intel rapid storage option ROM at boot and re-create my RAID 1 configuration with the original settings, will it save my data, or erase all of it and treat it like a brand new volume?

What does it mean for a process to use x% of the CPU? Is it the amount of instructions the OS dedicates to that application per second, or something of the sort?

Backup that data before you do anything.

>Have you list of vowels

Already did that, used a charAt method. Can only use one integer in the charAt dimension, so can't find a solution for consonant clusters like "tr","cl",or"br". Can't use two letters. Already tried using a string ("cl") and concatenating two chars ('c'+'l'), but both don't work.

Make a CD and boot from that.

Redpill me on bitcoins.
People argue that bitcoins are better than real money because
1. it's a decentralized currency that will hold its value better than, say, the US dollar, even if markets crash
2. it will raise in value and make you rich or something
Now to me, this basically sounds like a pyramid scam? But whatever.
If people are worried about markets crashing and their money becoming worthless, why would they want to rely on a currency that requires their computers to work? You need money and electricity to use your computers.
And have you ever heard of gold or silver? And the value of bitcoins is all over the place. it's anything but secure.
I just don't get it, honestly. It's like a get-rich-quick scheme that brainlets jump at

Lots of people slam Windows but maybe I'm just lucky. All installs of Windows 7 on my 3 client pc's all problem free, no reinstall required on any of them for a long time (like several yrs). My server os, Windows Home Server 2011 (2008R2 Based) has been running smooth as butter. Recently expanded the storage and it didn't blink, just works. I dunno maybe one day the joke will backfire and I'll get bit in the ass but so far nothing.

that's what looks like is my only option. i have to introduce a third "backup" hard drive into the recovery process before i can even do anything, which isn't the fucking point of RAID. i know RAID isn't a backup, but i shouldn't have lost my RAID configuration just because i switched the drive boot modes from RAID to AHCI. it's a system in which is built upon the idea of REDUNDANCY and RECOVERY. all i fucking did was remove its configuration by complete accident. onboard RAID is complete fucking bullshit. after this is all over i'll have a third hard drive called "backup" that isn't even in the RAID array, because it can't be, and i won't actually be using it for backup, or anything at all.

optionally i could just wash my hands of RAID, format one of these drives and just move on with life. fuck it.

Honestly bitcoins are kinda like most things now, pure electronic bullshit. Money is now just a pile of electronic bits some computer/bank teller puts there. Actual currency is shrinking vastly. If everyone in the U.S ran to there bank to withdraw funds, the whole industry would fail. It's all bullshit in the end. Bitcoins are kinda what money laundering was back in the day, untraceable but unlike money laundering its legal. long as you use it to buy legal shit that is.

I have an old iphone with a broken digitiser so that only about half the screen works and I'm unable to enter the pin to unlock it.

I need to do general repair and maintenance on someones windows (I think 10 or 8) install tomorrow, but I've been on linux so long that I've forgotten what tools people usually use to repair and clean up windows. Could anyone give me a rundown on general tools I should pick up? I just remember the windows automatic repair utility, sfc-scannow, and Ccleaner.

1. Try getting it to boot off something else; usb, cd, another computer's hdd using firewire and target disk mode.
2. Put this computer into target disk mode and inspect it over firewire on another computer.
3. Pull the drive out.

>firefox
Create a new account on your computer.
Install firefox.
Do not install any add-ons.
Do not change any setting from the default.

Does the problem still occur?
If so then the problem is less likely to be firefox and more likely to be elsewhere.

Also, does the problem occur when you use another browser?

>new computer
does it have a slow disk?

You didn't use bootcamp?
It handles setting up of the mbr+gpt for you.

Put stuff in your equivalent of /etc/modules.conf ?

If you can backup the phone without having to unlock the phone then do that.

Is the phone connected to an icloud account?
Maybe you can hold of your data through there?

If you have the usb adapter then you can try hooking up a usb keyboard in order to enter the pin?

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

If it is already set to trust your PC you will be able to back it up on itunes otherwise you need to click "trust computer" when it gets plugged in which you won't be able to do with a broken screen.
Otherwise icloud backups if you had them enabled or you might be able to do some DFU fuckery if you ask people into jailbreaking shit.

Stupidly deleted backups, never used icloud and computer has had Linux installed since then so looks like lightning -> usb keyboard is my only shot, don't have an adapter but have ordered a $2 chink one

good luck user.

How come when I'm on Windows Firefox takes up maybe around 2gb+ of RAM, but on Linux it will just eat up RAM until it forces the uses of swap?

Yes both are 64bit.

There's someone on Sup Forums using a latest gen Macbook, the one with the "touch bar". Can someone tell me why anyone would buy such a thing?

My gf keeps saying she wants a macbook and nike clothes and all this other shit that is overpriced for the quality and purpose. Normies are fucking STUPID.

ask the person who bought it
I am guessing it is because they have used a macbook before and like it and the wanted a new laptop.
