When I try to connect to my openvpn server I get the following error:

13.45 RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: my-server-1:xxx.xxx.xx.xxx:443 (servname not supported for ai_socktype)

(xxx.xxx.xx.xxx represents the ip)
What could be the reason for this error? I'm kind of lost here

I know that in some scientific domains like human biology / medicine, almost all scientific articles are indexed on a website / search called Pubmed.
Is there an equivalent for Sup Forums stuff ?

you could always try gen.lib.rus.ec, are you looking for something in particular?

I heard nvidia drivers spy on you, how true is that?
I just got a new graphics card and I heard nvidia started to spy on you since my last upgrade

Which email service would you recommend? I'm looking for a secure one, and possibly one that allows me to change the mail address, like some sort of temporary mail, if I start to receive too much spam. Does protonmail have such feature? Do you have any alternatives?

I don't know, it's for one of my friend. She didn't told me the subject. I actually wonder what she's even looking for since she isn't much into computer science

My PC turns off when playing games but not all games, I can play Arkham Knight with no problem but my PC may crash after 10 mins in Dragon's Dogma, I checked and it's not the temperatures, it all started after I had to change my psu because of a power outage

I'm thinking that maybe something else got fried during the outage or the replacement PSU is defective, how can I verify this?

is there a good ios Sup Forums browser app i can find on the app store?

My new optic fiber net ISP provides IPv6 connection only

Does that mean I won't be able to post here anymore?! Sup Forums is unable to handle IPv6

So I bought a new SSD that advertised that it has 520MB/s write speed

but when I tested it I can only get 500MB/s write speed at maximum

is this sort of thing usual or did I get a fake?

Only ban evaders want IPv7.

my laptop sits under my monitor, which is on an arm. I have to open the laptop slightly so i can reach the power button then when it fires up i just close the lid and carry on as normal. I'd like to dual boot Mandingo because W10 is doing my head in but
>muh gaymez
however GRUB wont show on an external screen via HDMI will it, so i wont be able to choose what to boot. Is there another solution?

Anyone?

the method you mentioned is best. Disk2VHD is a great tool, make a VHD of your Win10 instance, create a new VM in Linux, attach the new VHD and away you go. I've done domain controllers and all sorts with that tool.

Try making a small spreadsheet with columns as: game name, if it crashes after 10 mins.
Then try to make columns like if they use directx 10 or 11, how much resources they use. Maybe this way you can find some kind of correlation, that helps you to get closer to the problem.

Not sure if bait...
There are some factors that influence the precise write and read speeds, but your speeds are about the same, so there is no problem. Also, it may be due to the 1000 vs 1024 conversion

Anyone use the Pixiv++ Greasemonkey script? Firefox crashed and had to restart. No, it's not on Quantum. Still version 56. Anyways, I go to a Pixiv gallery and a lot of features are missing. I can't hover over a pic to see more pages, nor can I preload more pages on the spot. Did the userscript stop supporting all versions below Quantum?

Are pillows technology?

Can you recommend me a simple guide to QEMU/KVM for utter morons, please?

Some fag stole a macbook from my dad's work. We have the box but find my iphone or whatever apparently wasn't set up, can we disable it or find it?

Any way to force landscape mode in apps on android?
I've got my device rooted and feel like there is totally some way to do this I'm unaware of.

No really I'm asking seriously

What's weird is it can reach the advertised read speed of 540MB/s. But falls short of the 520 MB/s write speed by a 20-30 MB/s.

Is this really okay?

So my PC shat itself for no reason and I had to fresh re-install W10. Luckily I got a boot USB but only contained Home edition. All the usual keys are dead and I'm too paranoid to download KMSpico from anywhere.

Please help, I want the enterprise edition

what is a decent mediaplayer to listen to songs

windows media player i dont like

Will I feel a difference of delay from going to a 5ms TN monitor to a 5ms IPS monitor? On paper they sound similar but I heard sometimes those IPS response times aren't honest or something.

I do use my PC to play games, but honestly I never felt like I needed a monitor with faster response times than 5ms even for games that require fast reactions, and I'm thinking of trying out an IPS display.

Trying to start a server that could handle streaming 1080p movies/shows, arcade game emulation, seeding and data hording
What are some low cost options?

Awesome, thanks. I'll try this tonight.

they sell and I'm too paranoid to download KMSpico from anywhere.
fucking lmao@ur life, you worry about shitware yet use windows?
Go to pirate bay and find a KMSpico torrent with confirms from multiple users that it works and not outright spamware.

There is an app in the play store which can do display mode locking, search for that.

ipv4-under-ipv6 tunneling is a thing.

No. kektunes store removed unofficial Sup Forums apps because they were not made by the Sup Forums staff and Sup Forums llc is not interested in making an official iFag app.

Any significant difference between a motherboard with on board wifi and using a wifi card? I already have the wifi card from an old build.

Don't plan on using wifi 95% of the time but I want the flexibility should my setup change.

Ever since Firefox 57 came out, every time I try to post on Sup Forums, I get an Upload Failed error. I'm actually posting this on Edge right now. Does anyone have any idea as to how I can fix this?

Does anyone get problems with VLC mobile? I get cracks and clippings

yeah me too

>Integrated CPU/GPU mobo
Thank you for this I had been looking for each individually and they seem to be significantly cheaper when they're all onboard.

Do they sell cases for a mini ITX board but instead of needing to have room/bulky for a GPU or anything besides a hard drive?

Well, at least I managed to start it.

I had Steam installed on my A: drive but after I formatted C: I decided to install it there.
Now how do I move all my gaymes to this new folder, which is on A: so I don't have to install them all again?

prob a very dumb one
I got a 5-6 year old laptop and a monitor

When I launched Discord earlier it now has a permanent red dot on both the system tray and taskbar icons. It isn't any notifications or messages that I can see, what is this?

Does Appchan X still work for anyone on Firefox?

it means their keylogger and botnet is active

So I have a single usb wi-fi adaptor but it is listed as #2 despite being the only one.
Unimportant but would like to know if there's anyway to fix it?

What addons you using? Any special settings? When was the last time you did a refresh?

Last night I was installing debian on an old hard drive on my laptop (t420), left it overnight because I had work in the morning. When I got up it was turned off. Putting my regular SSD in the machine and when I press power it lights up for about 2 seconds before shutting down.

Any ideas on what I've fucked and how to un fuck it?

Why does Newegg suck so much now?

how do I install utorrent and express vpn on ubuntu 16.4? Ive been able to install all other apps but these arent working right. Wat do

You need to display hidden devices in Device Manager, you'll likely have the #1 device in there as disconnected. You can then delete it and rename the active one. Google to find out how to show hidden devices in Device Manager; I believe it's a CLI command.

There is lag on IPS. I wouldn't say it's a huge problem, unless you also have something like a high latency internet connection and you play fps a lot. If you find one with a good overdive mode that helps.

Create a fresh account on your computer.
Install firefox in it.
See if the problem still occurs.

If there's no problem, then there's something about your profile and/or add-ons that's messing things up somewhere.

I got pic related for my new build and I have a very serious problem.

When I start the PC the fan will make a few turns and then stops. I didn't notice for the first time so CPU temp went up until it shut down.

I don't have OS installed yet.

Any ideas? Yes, it is connected properly.

You don't get Enterprise edition legit. It is only sold as volume licensing to businesses. You can try extorting some college to get education, which is basically the same except for the ability to make LTSB.

Yeah dude. You get upwards of 80% advertised speeds in anything any you're good.

your laptop has hdmi and vga on it

can't tell what your monitor has as it has a cable plugged in

as you have both bits why don't you try to get them hooked up and working right now ?

take the cable that's attached to your monitor and see if it fits somewhere on the laptop. If not are you sure your monitor doesn't have VGA or hdmi? maybe I'm behind the times a bit but I'd think most would have it

if you can't even get into the bios, my guess is a power issue; try a different psu

Uninstall Greasemonkey if you have it. Normally it's a good way to get 4chanX to work on Firefox, but something's fucked this time.

thank you, it was bothering me because I'm mental

Any errors on the screen?
Any beep from the motherboard?

>his browser's text rendering engine intersects underlines and glyphs
gross

get vmware(retardsafe), download win10 iso, watch it setup automatically

I'd say there shouldn't be any noticeable difference, but you didn't specify the motherboard you currently have, or the WiFi card model. Test with both and see which performs better.

Yes, especially when using subtitles. Try MPV if you have Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=is.xyz.mpv

Close steam, move the entire folder (contents) to your desired location, open steam, go to Steam library folders and point it to the current location. That's unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do.

I just fixed the problem.
the cooler was badly configured in the BIOS.
I thought it's gonna fix itself by setting it to default but it actually fucked everything up.

Is there any information on ampere/volta consumer gpus? (specifically their releasedate)

anyone ever know how to fix black screen on amd gpu? wth 3 desktop and laptop got black screen when logon, Everytime I uninstalled driver from safe mode stupid windows auto reinstall driver. what the fuck should I do ?

the one in is display port connected to my pc
so i guess i need displayport to hdmi adapter?

Use DDU: guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

So in other words, is the response time not an accurate measure of input lag and other delay issues an IPS panel might have? Because on paper a 5ms IPS monitor should have similar performance to a 5ms TN panel, right? What am I missing?

I just installed Win 7 and cracked it with Windows Loader. After this, I used the Assistive Technologies offer to upgrade to Win 10. I was given the understanding that I would be able to acquire a valid copy of Win 10 this way, but it says I don't have it. Any idea what's going on?

What are some essential users scripts to install?
Using pre-quantum Firefox.

>gen.lib.rus.ec
Not him, but what's the difference between that site and libgen.io?

why nox and memu are so full of shit and gambling apps? I just want an android emulator

Simply mirror sites. Nothing on either is on the same server.
Libgen got nuked long ago but came back so the owner is taking precautions to prevent take downs.

You need
1. download the newest driver version.
2. disconnected form Internet. By disable wifi network card or Ethernet card.
3. remove gpu driver from device manager multiple times, windows auto backup several driver version in temp folder, maybe need reboot your PC.
4. reboot your PC
5. install newest driver

>try to install pic related through USB stick
>neither mouse nor keyboard work because of mobo being much newer than W7
>patch USB stick
>both work through installation
>after installation neither mouse nor keyboard work again

Notes:
I don't have PS2 option
I'm using USB 2.0

HELP

The response time listed in the specifications isn't necessarily accurate because it only accounts for the panel itself, not the image processing side. You probably won't notice much of a difference between a TN's response time and IPS in games, so don't worry too much about that.
IPS displays can have glow or backlight bleed issues which can affect brightness uniformity or the colors. The ones I've encountered myself weren't bad, but your mileage may vary. Perhaps buy from a store that allows you to return the monitor if it has serious issues.

This site explains shit pretty well: tftcentral.co.uk/specs.htm

DDU ran from Safe Mode allows you to disable Windows automatic driver installation.

Use a newer Windows 7 with SP1 iso to create the installation stick. mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/

wew, I don't know that, thank you for the information

Didn't work last time I tried it, probably doesn't work now. Crack Windows 10 with KMSAuto and move on, you aren't missing out on anything by not having a "legit" activation.

Did you actually see the "Windows is activated" message in 7's System page? Did you make sure to allow it to connect to the internet at least once before upgrading? Also it needs to be the loader from MDL forums, not le google.

Potplayer
You can play rar/zip/7z files with music in them without unzipping them.
saves me a space and time just drag and dropping albums into the player.

Well, there's probably a reason why is my name Stupid Faggot...

Different user here, but you're missing processing time, overdrive distortion, and the fact that color transitions don't take constant time. TFT Central is a good review site if you want to see monitor input delay fully characterized.

IPS isn't necessarily slower, but it tends to be within the same price range.

I actually was installing Win7 with SP1 already...

Can't speak for anyone else but greasemonkey stopped working right for me after the latest update.
I switched to tampermonkey and everything works fine.
You might want to switch too.

Transmission should be preinstalled, use that instead of uTorrent.

pastebin.com/gHCCFBkt

You're going to want to look at the second half. I'd be somewhat supprised if you're not already using an SP1 iso, although I'd be sure to get one without malware.

pastebin.com/smjvLZN4

SP1 wouldn't be your problem anyway.

That's a bummer. At least it gave me the opportunity to wipe my PC of so much garbage.

Thoughts on MSTK vs KMSpico? What is KMS'Auto' anyway? I've only heard of pico.

>Did you actually see the "Windows is activated"
>Did you make sure to allow it to connect to the internet at least once before upgrading?

Yes, I did. I used a Win 7 Ult iso and copy of WL 2.2.2 that I downloaded a while back from MDL. It's worked fine in the past. I'm not sure what went wrong. I might just spiff it at this point. A bit disappointed, but I'm not going through the whole process for Win 10 of all things.

Just checked, looks like the .torrent download is broken in Firefox 57 but works in Chrome.

THANK YOU

I'm gonna follow those guides now.

can a raid controller work exactly like a sata controller? is there a price difference?

Qbittorrent works on Linux, if you're looking for an alternative.

What are the benefits of a home server? What practical uses might I get from building one?

Oh a warning, potplayer looks like shit now. Not just the player but the icons too. There is a way to change the skin and icon though. You might have to do some UI tweaking as well if you're use to normal players UI.
potplayer.daum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3585#p6954

Toolkit is best, wouldn't use anything outside of MDL.

It's possible some other combination of steps would do it, but it sounds like you're burnt on the idea and I'm not gonna go fiddling with shit again when they're killing accessibility in a couple weeks anyway. You could get a cheap 7 or 8 pro key off ebay and upgrade that. Unless they've changed their shit VERY recently that should still work.

Thanks for the information. I'll go torrent Toolkit now.

>it sounds like you're burnt on the idea

I've been up all night (again), this time because I wanted to wipe my buggy, unregistered copy of Win 10 and start anew, fresh and functional. Thought I'd try my hand at getting a genuine copy of Win 10 through the accessibility program. It's almost 12 AM, and I still haven't slept. I slept at 1 AM yesterday, and it looks like I'm going to be repeating that again.

I'll just crack it and finally be done with this mess. I appreciate your insight regardless. Cheers, user.

Depends on what you find useful. You can play with virtualization, host your own file server/NAS, an OpenVPN server or a website, mess with pfSense to make a router/firewall etc. Above all you get hands-on experience by configuring shit yourself, which may come in handy at some point.

I access porn, music, movies from any device on my network. TV, iPad, laptop.

What's the equivalent of Apple Maps 3D view for Windows or Linux?

Mitnick is pretty well regarded. My professor had our class read The Art of Deception this semester. Wasn't my bag -- I couldn't care less about social engineering. But his works are respected.

What is Superfetch and should I disable it?
