meh a decent linux distro will be better than macos, since you've already tried it and hate it. install gentoo

as for bsd, it could work, it will be "stable" but it will likely require more effort and tinkering than linux would, which is why I'm unironically saying install gentoo instead. or arch. or even guix
I don't see why not use openbsd
maybe try it on really cheap hardware, see if you can buy a $50 thinkpad from 15 years ago on ebay that has compatible hardware supported by openbsd drivers and try it on that. or for that matter just try it in a vm I guess
drivers are always the issue with *bsd so if you're saying you plan to buy compatible hardware it will help a lot

theme selector is broken for me too (firefox) and it didn't help turning off adblocking

In SBCL lisp (and possibly other lisps) there's an implementation specific extension that lets you silence compiler warnings for only specific code blocks within a file (rather than just for the whole file). Is there a similar thing for C? Either generally or implementation-specific to GCC.

can i have a multiline command in bash for a script with an if statement in the middle?
for example

grep -r \
if [ $1 == "c" ] ; then
    -c \
fi
"$@" folder

so the input could be either "./search words words" and run grep -r "words words" folder/ or "./search c words words" and run grep -r -c "words words" folder/
thought maybe it would work but maybe this would just be confusing.

>>108655100
Put the if-fi block between backticks and echo the -c and it should work.

It's a standard keyboard key which means that some programs might have bindings on it for whatever autistic reason which means almost all keyboards include a way to type it one way or another (even those minimalist tiny keyboards usually have some method to type all standard keys, it's just more convoluted)
But most programs don't have anything specific to use it for so if there's text input they just implement the default original function of the key (switching between insert and overwrite mode), under the assumption that maybe 0.001% of people actually use it that way, and everyone else won't care

>Aren't checksums/*hashes basic computer knowledge?
Like the other anon said, knowing what it is is pretty basic, and also can be learned in a couple of minutes of looking it up, so not knowing is a sign of lacking experience rather than lacking skill or intelligence.

>*assuming hash is a the same thing
Kinda but they're used very differently. A hash is a way to calculate some constant sized "marker" from variable-length data. A hash can be uttely simple, e.g. just take the first X bytes from the data, 0-pad if the data's shorter than that.
A cryptographic hash, is often just confusing called "hash" as a shorthand, is different is that it has crucial properties of being one-way, meaning there is absolutely no way to find or even guess anything about the original data using just the hash. It should look as much like a random string as possible, and make it as unlikely as possible for two arbitrary inputs to have the same hash.

A checksum is somewhere in the middle: the useful property of a checksum is that if you change something about the input, the checksum will likely change. A weak checksum can also be extremely simple: a parity bit, i.e. literally taking the sum of all the bits in the input and saying whether it's odd or even, is a checksum. A stronger checksum will be more reliable at detecting changes. Importantly, a checksum is meant to detect random corruption, not malicious tampering, and it's often very easy to find a way to change the data while keeping the same checksum if you're doing it manually - it's considered fine as long as the odds of this happening by chance are low enough.

A cryptographic hash is usable as a very very very strong checksum, at the cost of usually being a lot more expensive to compute. A weak, non-cryptograhic hash is rarely a good checksum. And checksum algorithms are sometimes but not always useful when you need some specific weak and cheap hash.

In a vacuum probably not much. The socket defines the form factor and importantly pin layout for the CPU connection. Technically, there's no particular correlation between CPU performance and pin layout. Maybe the new layout was easier to optimise for, but if they had to they likely would have made it work on the old AM4 layout.

Practically speaking, doing this would basically require redesigning most of the CPU, so they're not gonna do this for existing models. They would have to do this for the next, upcoming models, if they really wanted to. But they have no reason, because starting a new socket annoys people but by now AM5 is a couple of years old so they have absolutely zero reason to kill it and go back to AM4 now.

Also, other than the socket, the chips are different and maybe they'd want to keep the new faster chips as well. For example AM5 is all compatible with PCIe 5.0 while AM4 was almost only PCIe 4.0 if I remember correctly. So part of the reason is also marketing: they could make it compatible with old motherboards but they'd also want to make it clear to users which ones are the new ones that support all features, and which ones are old and will not provide all the advertised features. Just making an entirely new platform is the easiest way to do this.

>same question for intel
Yeah same applies to intel, in fact you can see that intel changes motherboard sockets practically every year while AMD kept AM4 going for so many years. There's no reason intel couldn't do the same, except that it wants to help its partners sell more motherboards.

I use an old 2010s era Thinkpad for budget issues as all my higher-end stuff has broken down, and I want to run some older retro games on Steam, unfortunately the Steam client is bloated to hell and back and even on Linux it causes temps to rise high enough for it to overheat and crash when I am playing something as simple as Half-Life 1.
What's the best solution to fix this? Is there a solution to either debloat the Steam client or some alternative way to run Steam without running the client?

I see, I'll give that a try. Thanks.

>>108661141
>repaste?
Already done that. My only suspicion is that maybe the heatsink is faulty or inadequate, although the heatsink's fan does work normally...
For context it's a Thinkpad T430 and I upgraded the CPU to an Intel i7-3632QM.
>the computer shouldn't overheat.
Really? It normally shouldn't?
I should give some rough stats, but it's normally between 50-60 celsius, and it rises up to 75-85 once I use Steam and it rises up to maximum temps for a fair amount of games on Steam including older stuff like HL1.

>>108661180
you're complaining about steam, like it's the problem, but it seems to be your fault. it didn't overheat before you changed the cpu, right?

>>108657793
They have a rescue env and Debian even has a way of installing itself via chroot called debootstrap but I was thinking of ditching it all together after the election drama.

>>108661195
>you're complaining about steam, like it's the problem,
I was told this by someone else, frankly. Though to be fair that guy was also shilling me some other stuff that turned out to not be true, so perhaps he was wrong.
>but it seems to be your fault.
I have a suspicion that when I cloned the original SHD main drive (I got scammed by the refurbisher that sold me the T430 and he had an SSHD instead instead of an SSD as advertised) into the new SSD that something might've fucked up with the distro. But that's my only other theory.
>it didn't overheat before you changed the cpu, right?
It didn't, but it did run insanely slowly to comical levels. I had initially assumed it was the CPU's problem, when I switched the CPU nothing changed, neither in temps and only a slight performance boost. It was when I discovered that the drive was not an SSD as advertised but an SSHD and I switched the drive from the original SSHD drive to the SSD that the problems began. I suspect because something fucked up in the cloning process.
It sounds insane and probably insanely technically improbable, but it's the only thing that has stayed consistent when I look back, it's why I am considering outright just wiping the drive and reinstalling everything and seeing if that works. But I wanted to see if the problem was elsewhere before I resorted to the nuclear option, and I entertained the possibility that it was the Steam client being the problem.
I wouldn't be asking these questions if I wasn't a total technical newbie admittedly, I've never built a PC nor upgraded any electronics before I used the T430. I did not make any mistakes in the thermal pasting either, I can confirm that with certainty. But if I messed something up in any other process like the drive cloning or even getting scammed by the CPU seller, that's a possibility I am willing to consider.

I know and all remotely relevant distributions have something like it. The bootstrapping happens via a specialised tool such as Debootstrap or Arch Linux's pacstrap or there's a so called root filesystem tarball which you extract to your target mount point. Or both. Some (pajeet?) guides speak of this as "creating a container" as the step in an installation process is very much the same.

Hmm, that might be possible, I am willing to test it out. I've never had much experience pasting before and I tried my friend's advice of putting a decently-sized blob (not too small not too big) in the center. Perhaps I was misinformed.
>for laptops I use tpm 7950 (look it up on aliexpress for a few bucks) it's a phase change material that is solid when cooler and liquidish when hot so ideal for laptops
I'll definitely look into that, thank you. I was using an Arctic MX-4, I assume it probably wasn't the best choice all things considered.
Also, if I may ask. Do you know where I can get the best hinge replacement for the T430? That one also got busted, and I am afraid of buying some shitty knock-off that doesn't work.

Adblockers are pretty much all the same. It's a DNS blocker. It blocks requests to/from specific domains (web addresses). For example, an adblocker won't let your device speak with (connect to), for instance
glowiespyware.com
Jewishadware.com
MossadVirus.is
..etc (those are examples not real links)

The sites (domains) that your adblocker blocks are your filter list. In other words, you can customize your filter list within the adblocker settings (extension settings). There, you can add or remove entire blocklists, and blacklist/whitelist specific sites. If you still don't understand, go look up how an adblocker works.

Also this goes a bit deeper, because an adblocker (aka DNS filter) can be placed inside your browser, inside your OS, or on your entire network. Or any combination thereof. Also look up how DNS works.

Wouldn't it be simpler to not even mess around with putting grep flags in a variable?

if [ "$1" = 'c' ] ;then
    grep -rc "$2" "$folder"
else
    grep -r "$1" "$folder"
fi

Using $1 for a flag while using $@ as the grep search term should break the search whenever you do actually use 'c' mode.
That would expand to 'grep -rc c searchterm folder', which will cause grep to search for 'c' in 'searchterm' and in 'folder'. This would also cause issues even if you didn't use 'c' mode, but did include multiple entries that would get picked up by $@.

So if you ever do use the $1 for c, you will need to offset the search term to be the second entry $2.

Downside for my above code is you can't search for the letter 'c' as that will only act as a flag.

An alternative is to dedicate that first entry $1 to be a flag check every time, but that would require you to include a junk character to fill it every time you used it.

>>108664229
Just to add, if you did want to search for multiple terms at once look into capturing your search terms into a variable and passing that through sed with something like:

sed 's/ /\\|/g'

The above will replace the spaces with \|, changing 'a b c' into 'a\|b\|c' which will allow grep to search for all three terms at once.
Note that if you use grep with the -E or -P flag, that uses a non-backspaced | instead of \|.

It is smaller than half a centimeter and is in the corner so it doesn't really bother me but it worries me that I might ruin my monitor if I clean off the screen with fluids. Is there anything I can cover it with so cleaner doesn't go into the monitor?

how much of a risk is a shorted USB with a mouse that got severely soaked? (mouse itself, not the cable) not planning to use it for at least 2-3 days obviously and it wasn't plugged in when it happened, but if i didn't? or shorting a USB by plugging in a water damaged device in general
yes i fucked up quite a bit, but the silver lining is i was planning to replace that POS with the jumpy scroll soon anyway and my old mouse still works reasonably well

what happenes if you shorten a USB port anyway, from what i've read ranging from a shutdown and then like nothing happened to a damaged motherboard but i don't want to put this to the test

If some day 4chan shuts down (I wish that day never comes), what do you think will happen next? Will some of the mods or users from here create a new imageboard that will replace it? Creating an imageboard isn't that difficult, right? Someone should have like a copy of this one so if one day this is closed, a new group of people can make a new one that looks exactly the same.

How can i separate .webm video and audio files so they have separate default programs? windows 10

I want a 75% mechanical keyboard, priced $150 and below, with 2.4 GHz dongle wireless connection capability, ANSI layout. Regarding switches, I prefer tactile switches, but sound-wise I like creamy/thocky keyboards. If impossible, I'm willing to sacrifice the sound for tactile switches. Either way, I want a pre-built keyboard, and I want it to come with good tactile switches by default. What do you recommend to me?

>>108668092
if you have a folder full of audio files and webm files and you want to put each type of file in their own folder, first create a folder for both types of files and open them in their own window.
in the folder with all the files search *.webm
this will show you all of the webm files in that folder. select them, cut, and paste them into their designated folder. What is left is everything else. *.mp3 and all of that type of audio file will be visible.

Or did you want to copy only the audio from a video? wiht that you can download something like Goldwave or Audacity and throw a video into it and it will only extract the audio that you can save separately.
there are a few free video editors like DaVinci Resolve that will let you separate video and audio and export them separately.

>>108668589
There's a thread for this. There's almost certainly a bunch of chink models that satisfy your requirements.
>I want it to come with good tactile switches by default
A lot of keyboards nowadays are hotswap so it takes like 10 minutes to pull out the old ones and stick new ones in. So whether it comes with good switches by default is pretty much purely a financial consideration, is it cheaper to find a keyboard that fits all your requirement AND comes with the switches you already want - or to have a wider choice of keyboard models and buy the exact switches you want separately.

>>108668639
>There's a thread for this
I created my own thread with this text, asked it in /mkg/, then asked in the next /mkg/ thread and I barely got any real responses anywhere

>>108668639
>A lot of keyboards nowadays are hotswap so it takes like 10 minutes to pull out the old ones and stick new ones in.
Yes, but I was hoping to reduce the amount of decisions to make, I feel like any tactile switch I'm gonna put in is gonna ruin the sound of the keyboard

>>108668654
I fucking hate soundfags
If you want good sound buy a piano or someshit. A computer keyboard is for typing with your fingers, not for making ASMR with.

Alternative sites for downloading anime torrents/magnets, other than nyaa.si?

>>108668982
That's a stupid question. Although this is where it belongs, you may as well ask how to create your personal mirrors of those websites. So that taking any of them down would do nothing to you.

Git/Github related question.
I use git locally for my projects. When I need to add a library I wrote to another project I do so by using git submodules.
Now I need to share one of my projects through Github and the submodule directory naturally links to a 404 page.
What are my options here? I'd like to avoid having to copy and paste the library.

If nyaa goes down it'll be a big shitstorm on /a/ and /g/ and you'll find the answers then.

is 24gb ram enough for my new pc? i don't really want to spend more $ on ram

are different file extensions really just an organizational way to categorize how a field should be opened/parsed?
some are read line by line, some are read by parsing until they find the correct delimiter? Is that all it is?

>>108669802
nyaa did go down, current nyaa isn't the original one

>>108669802

thanks anon 24gb will be plenty then

>>108670077
>some are read line by line, some are read by parsing until they find the correct delimiter
No. The file size and extent are stored in the filesystem metadata; think of the filesystem like a "driver" for your files. Programs asks the OS "read X bytes from file Y", the OS goes to the filesystem with this request, and the filesystem checks its metadata, finds where file Y is stored on the physical disk, checks that X bytes does not go beyond the end of the file, reads those bytes from disk and returns them.

How a file is read (line by line or otherwise) is entirely up to the actual program that wants to read the file. You can have a program go
>give me the filesize of file X
>ok now give me the data of file X, of the entire filesize
And read the file in one go. Or it can read chunks, etc.
Note that "line by line" is almost never something done at the filesystem level, because there are no "lines" in a filesystem; the newline character is just another text character like any other. So either you read 1 byte from the file over and over until you see a newline and then process it at once (extremely inefficient), or you read chunks of the file, buffer them and split out by newline characters. This is usually done at the library level, to make it more convenient for programmers to read text files, but not at the filesystem level.

How a file is parsed is also entirely up to the calling program. A special case is text data, which is ubiquitous enough that there's usually utilities just for that (like "reading a file line by line" automatically for you); anything that's not text is considered "binary" and you just get a big blob of bytes and it's up to you to decide what to do with it.

The extension is just part of the file's name. On windows or some other desktops, it's also how things like explorer.exe decides which software to try launching to open a file by default, but it's just guessing based on the name basically.

4GB per hardware thread is 'enough' for most practical applications

>>108664229
>>108664383
it would definitely be simpler, but i was mainly asking just to know if it could work, or for if i wanted to have more than a few if else statements (not likely, but just to experiment).
in regards to the $@ flag, with shift it would remove the 'c' so it would only expand to grep -rc searchterm folder, but yeah you're right that it would break the search if multiple arguments are given which is me being stupid. thanks for the help here i'm still a bit new to bash scripting.

>>108664935
4chan is kind of too big to fail and there are already a lot of copies and archives of it out there. I can't think of any other site of any size that's as monitored and archived as this one, and Hiro is an actual celebrity millionaire so even if he doesn't care about this place he at least gives the site more collateral in that sense.
If we ever did go for sure though, yeah it would be back up in a few weeks. If ED could do it in 2011 (and a million other times since then), I don't see why a dedicated group of anons (probably mods) wouldn't just do it for here.

put in shitty gpu (e.g. gt1030, gt710, rx550) and turn it into a media pc.
put in a slightly less shitty gpu (don't bother without anything better than a 1060 or a rx580) and you have a gamebox that can keep up with a ps4 pro, play e-sports games and wil meet the lower spec bound for most but not all emulators.

pci-e is super cross-compatible and speed-tolerant. like you can connect any pci-e to any pci-e and it will work, if the device is designed for a faster link then obviously it may be slower, but it will work.
now you might run into other issues like the os in use not having drivers for a newer device, but as far as pci-e is concerned that part will work

Thunderbolt has minimum bandwidth requirements though. You could make some special logic to handle the degraded connection state where it matters, but you're already talking about something almost nobody wants.

I mean, both are full of frauds and charlatains, so I wouldn't call it a deal breaker. Not having abstract problem solving skills when you're an abstract problem solving professional definitely alters your approach though. A better question is why should they pick you over Pajeet. Remember Pajeet has people who are good at leetcode helping him, and they're all willing to lie like the devil.

Poorfags do not need to any further than 3060 12GB model
8GB is trash and any reasonable decision is to go with the 16GB model of any GPU post 4000 series, same applies with AMD
You probably don't have the equipment to use those to their full capacity so 3060 12GB is more than enough to play any modern game at medium settings
You could try the 2nd hand market but that's risky

>>108674174
That bad? You're telling me I really gotta get on these leetcode problems too? Shit seems so stupid. From my understanding, real SWE or research jobs are nothing like that.

>>108674216
Yeah but competence with one implies the other. They don't teach you math because you need to know math. They teach you math so you can show how good you are at learning complex tasks you don't care about.

If you can make a popular project and show the world you can function as a senior level SWE on your own, that's awesome; you won. If you're coming in as nobody, you have to be a total monster. Failing at basic filter tests is not acceptable.

It works for the most part, but I'm trying to connect another PC to the VM.

Depends how "terrible". You should be able to solve at least easy ones with relative ease. You probably don't need to grind leetcode hard to speedrun them all.

>downscale huge jpg to reasonably sized one below 4chan's filesize limit, save with 95% quality, 4:4:4 subsampling, progressive encoding (can save space)
