Planning on building a fileserver with 8-12 drives. How do I calculate cpu requirements? It will be running debian and using ext and btrfs. Is it better to have moar coars or moar niggahertz?

So I got a new pfsense box I built out of spare parts and a wireless router running LEDE with broken ethernet ports. I have the broken router plugged into the pfsense to get wireless internet.

My question is what do I have to set up to access my wireless printer from a wired computer plugged into the pfsense box

How do i turn up windows 7 louder than it can go? Losing audio quality dosent matter

my android phone can't find my sd card in settings, but only when the microsd card is in can it open certain apps,
I also can't access the sd card on any other device.
How do i recover the files on it

I have an old 2007 macbook which still werks fine and is pretty fast thanks to the SSD. Which linux distro is a decent replacement for osx? Just use it for shitposting, SSHing into my server and browsing. I do want a DE but a lightweight one. I've tried ubuntu but there were several things that didn't work and needed retarded workarounds.
Or is it possible to strip down osx 10.7 to bare minimum?

Make sure all of your gain stages are at maximum, ie windows sound mixer, whatever audio application set to maximum etc then turn up speakers/amp to maximum. If that is not enough you'll most likely need another amp in between somewhere to increase the signal.

What is the actual difference between NAS and SAN?

NAS - one device, one server, one filesystem
SAN - several devices, one server, one filesystem?

So for the past few months I've been using a custom font on the OneeChan Sup Forums greasemonkey addon. Today I decided to change the font, and ended up being locked out of the font I had for months until I disabled the https redirect in 4chanX. My question is, how can I get oneechan's font family settings to stop breaking with https? It makes no sense to me since I had been using https all that time with the custom font, and now it refuses to work.

Smb and nfs seem to work well over a number of threads. Anything over 2.5ghz should be ideal. But basically you’ll want more RAM and a fast network (10gb)

Just got a Ryzen 1600x and windows 8.1 says "Unsupported Hardware", and it seems some games don't want to work properly. Do I have to upgrade to windows 10?

does it say that during install or on the desktop?

might need to install the chipset drivers for your motherboard

How do i automatically sort apps in nova launcher by color?

I think AMD recommends reinstalling Windows when moving to them. Does 8.1 have one of those "don't delete data" reinstall options like 10?

I just installed, it's a brand new rig.
Desktop, didn't say it during install. I'll look at installing the drivers when I get home from work today, thank you user.

Trying out Elementary OS as my working OS. Liking it a lot so far.

Is network engineering a highly location-dependent career field? i.e. Does the salary suck if you're in a smaller city?

I just installed an SSD, got windows on it and everything boots up nice except that now my hdd doesn't want to boot. The hdd is recognized in the bios but no matter what I do, it's the ssd that always gets booted.

if the city is small but expanding rapidly, the pay'll be good

just remember, you'll be working some real shit jobs before you become a network engineer. we've all been there and done it. don't let the shitters scare you away with their fear mongering about cloud

While YouTube is an "OK EXPERIENCE" with 2gb ram, i'm looking for an alternative, maybe a client?

On Windows

you can get all youtube videos in an RSS and then use MPV to play the videos

Did you change the boot order in the bios?

That doesn't seem a good way to do things, what if i want to search for something?

Anyways ok.

Try to get the Windows 10 drivers for it.

I have this regex:
/\b[a-z]+m[ae]nn?\b/i
Intended to bump words ending in man, men, mann, menn.
But I want to use it to bump names, not, say, conman.
How can I exclude "con" and other prefixes from it?

Yes

Is anyone else having this problem with reverse image search or is it just me?

How do I stop being so hard all the time, dwag?

opinions on refurbished HDDs? just want to fill one up with movies and porn and blow a couple loads nahmsayin

Is there a linux utility that shows me lets me what fonts I have installed in the system and what they look like.
Something like the GTK+ font dialog.
It would probably take 30 minutes to write one, but I don't feel like inventing the wheel today.

Why Elementary OS?

> shows me lets me
Messed it up
It was supposed to be "lets me see"

What are the best programs to create multiboot pens? Both for win and linux

Can you set shit like the transparency, colors, font and so on directly from urxvt without editing Xdefaults or Xresources?
I gotta write a utility that changes the terminal emulator's appearance for a uni project and I'm a lost brainlet

I recently got the redmeme note 4 and i love it.
The only problem i have is that ive set up klwp and nova with a klwp button thats meant to open the app drawer but it doesn't. If nova crashes and i re open nova and then click the button itll work once but not again after that. Ive googled it but all i can find is "it was a bug with miui and was fixed in the latest patch" but im on the latest version of nova klwp and miui

The ability of a terminal emulator to change its appearance during runtime depends entirely on the emulator. And AFAIK urxvt sets everything at startup and gets the settings from x resources, so no.

So I installed win7 on my new ssd while the hdd was plugged in. I thought no problems would come from this since I selected the ssd only during install (hell the ssd was the only choice anyways). Now i can't boot into my hdd. Bios recognizes that the hdd is there though. If i try booting the hdd only, i get taken back into bios and if i boot the win usb with only my hdd plugged in I get pic related. Anything i can do to have my hdd be bootable or atleast recover a few files so I can just wipe the thing?

I dont have an OS isntalled on my laptop at the moment, and im having trouble installing Q4OS on it, but it isnt detecting the SSD. Would that be a reason why i cant seem to install Q4OS successfully? should I just install windows again and see if it can detect the drive?

I can boot from a flash drive just fine.

Let me guess, intel cpu?

what is the ultimate programming language of soyboys?

Yes

python

Quick yes or no answer

Did they release an update against the exploit for windows 7?

Tough luck, you've heard of meltdown I'm sure, buy amd next time if you would like to avoid things like this

I keep getting fucking viruses lately. Usually I just run malwarebytes, ublock and common sense, but I updated all my Windows shit lately and restarted windows defender. Never had a problem in years until the past few months where I've had about five instances. Now I've been hit by another bunch of trojan registry and sys32 shit that I only noticed because of poor game performance.

So why could I be getting all of these viruses after full AV scans with multiple programs and fully updating all my shit?

Go into more detail of everything that you do and have on your PC. A virus could come from almost anything.

I like your helper, but that's not what I asked for.

Why's that?

sorry i wasn't supposed to greentext your post didnt realise i highlighted it it just want to post a spanking pepe after seeing yours

Computer turned itself on twice last night. Couldn't find anything scheduled to make it do that. A little worried.

Do a scan or two. Mine did that once and I came back to a load of adware.

Hey guys, I don't want to delete nudes of my ex but I keep looking on them sometimes which is no good for me. Can I make them inaccessible for certain time? like lets say half a year hide them somewhere from myself and then get them back?

When I instal es file explorer on my phone it gives a "dianxin" folder. What is this?

Highly rated app, googling it gets people guessing 'maybe its chinese malware"

Are they dumb or is it actual malware?

hahhahahahahahah

Its actual malware you should have stopped using ES at least a year ago

How long would it take for a guy who knows nothing on image processing to make something that can translate sign language? I know java and C

and whats the alternative

ive been using totalcommander

Is there an open source code for something like this grammarly.com/ ?
I'm not a programmer but more on the linguist-sort of person. I'm not a native English speaker but I want to develop a similar system that have the function almost as exact as the website but in my native language.

I have a spare intel g1610t lying around which I've been tempted to put to use but not sure if dual core is a bit meager for 8+ drives. It's only dual core too.

Mechanical HDs are supposed to last for about five years. Modern engineering makes products so that all components will fail more or less at the same time (it would be useless to overbuild some piece to last 100 years if all else will fail in five).
If the refurbished unit was delivered by a consumer and it still was covered by warranty, you would need to discount the time the consumer used it from the Mean Time Between Failure, and you cannot know how much that would be.
Even if you buy a new unit, it may suddenly fail by an unpredictable defect in manufacturing.

TL;DR there is no free lunch and you must always have backups; not necessarily of all your data, but at least of those things you can't afford to lose.

I don't know for Linux, but I have used this on Windows to create a pendrive with Win10LTSBx64 and Xubuntu beta:
YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Integrator):
pendrivelinux.com (covered under GNU GPL License)

Because snakes (actually the python in the language is for Monty Python).

I did, got nothing. Concern is growing.

I bought 4x 1.5tb barracuda 7200.11 a few years back. They were refurbished and recertified by seagate, the HDD label has a green border around it saying so. Three failed within a few months and one is still going but has lots of reallocated sectors. That particular HDD model was notirious for failure though.
You get what you pay for. Either you can afford to lose data or not. If you don't care then buy a used HDD.

yes

Did you shut it down or put it to sleep?

Shut it down. Stayed off maybe 10 minutes then turned back on, twice.

any way to create custom batch actions in titanium backup?

yup

yeah

link to manual?

PM'd

kill yourself.

?

>is there a way to do thing?
can you show me or tell me where i can read how to do it?

not sure what you are talking about man, i sent you the link...

this shall be your final (You)
cherish it

nice greentext skills

you should really seek professional help, I have no idea what your delirious babble is about

Is it possible to extract sound from hdmi to generic 3.5mm(f)? I've mirrored my main screen to tv to watch animus on big screen, but i've some troubles with sound. I'm using application called voicemeeter for outputting sound, but it has a little bit of a lag(much less noticeable than realtek stereo mixer though). I've tried to google. but couldn't find anything.

put me in the reddit screenshot

>tv makes a white flash and quits working
>open it up
>blown fuse
>replace fuse with new
>still won't turn on

what do? there are no caps to replace on this thing, they all look fine.

Sup Forums is not the place to ask this.

It would be really, really stupid to buy a 1070 ti before the announcements coming within the next few days, right?

on other chans "^\

Anyone?

there is always new hardware coming out. your parts last you several years, right? it's not like it's being released in the next few days

>maybe you can help me with that instead.
I'm not your mother and I give no fucks about other cancerchans.

In what situation would one want to pick RAID 0 to no-RAID setup? Losing all your files if one of the drive fails looks like the shittiest choice one would take.

Waiting for a few days for new products could mean saving money though. I almost bought a ryzen system just after christmas only for prices to drop quite a bit now. Would have been a bittersweet experience.
If something is around the corner it is unironically adviseable to wait a few days to see what happens.

Try the console output of fc-list

>In what situation would one want to pick RAID 0 to no-RAID setup?
For maximum speed.
>Losing all your files if one of the drive fails looks like the shittiest choice one would take.
RAID is not a backup. If you have important files on a raid0 array without backups you deserve everything that comes your way.

You don't have this in system setting?

I also need to see what the fonts look like.

How to write the CSS for "

Font Manager.

What you are showing is the standard _dialog_, present in any modern GUI library, in a program used for something else. And I need a simple program whose only purpose is to show me what fonts do I have.

What's its name? I can't find it

This one does too many things and not in the way I need.
Guess I'll just write it myself, fuck it.
