removing the "scotchBonnet" unfortunately returns the "this time, search" stuff into the drop down, which you can hide with CSS but it is still there and selectable if you press the arrow keys.
annoying that mozilla doesn't let us remove both. i only want searching to be done in the special search field, i hate sending anything to search engines if i mistype an address (thankfully that nonsense can be turned off)

can anyone explain why about:config STILL doesn't have searchable descriptions?
they have explanations for what everything does in the source code or elsewhere, just put that in about:config

I use Mullvad Browser, a fork of Tor browser, which is a fork of Firefox. Takes some tweaking to be usable normally.

To you I would recommend Firefox, I don't use it myself since I don't trust Mozilla after they removed their promise of never selling user data from their FAQ.
Brave is a fork of Chromium and would mean you are still in the same old Alphabet (Google) sphere of influence. What the web needs is more people not using Chromium so that we always have a viable alternative.

Brave was created by the former CEO of Mozilla, who was kicked out for not being woke enough (all he did was donate some money to a group that wants marriage to only be between a man and a woman). I think it would have been much more brave of him to fork Firefox instead of Chromium.
Brave tries to still support the extension API that enables uBlock Origin to work well, however I think it's only a matter of time before it becomes too complicated to reverse the decisions Alphabet (Google) imposes onto Chromium.

Yes assuming you don't mind all the compiling. Big fat desktop system compiled with a weak processor could take considerable amount of time.

I had the same question a few years ago.
A good starting point is a desktop profile. I actually installed without a desktop profile but then I had tons of annoying stuff that would be missing so I just checked what desktop profiles do and manually added those flags to my make.conf. If you want to make your life easier just use a desktop profile directly.
Then there's some big features which you can decide for yourself to globally enable or disable. For example I have
USE="-gtk -gtk3 -gtk4 -gnome -systemd -wayland alsa pulseaudio pipewire lto pgo X zsh-completion thinkpad qt6 [...a bunch of deskotp profile stuff]"
because I don't use wayland or systemd, I want to avoid gnome and gtk stuff whenever possible and use qt(6) instead (this used to be qt5 a while ago), I want to enable optimisations (pgo and lto) whenever the package supports it, I have pipewire for my sound (which also emulates pulseaudio), I use zsh, and I'm on a thinkpad.
Then there's system flags that are likely enabled by the desktop profile anyway, but if you're not using one you'll need to think about them, stuff like
USE="elogind udev dbus acpi vaapi opengl vulkan"
, which is video driver stuff and important OS building blocks (unfortunately everything nowadays does require dbus and elogind). And then I also have a ton of formats/codecs ("mp3 mp4 mpeg ogg pango pdf png vorbis svg truetype x264" and some shit) which are mostly used by ffmpeg and sometimes individual programs providing media support.

Then when installing individual desktop packages, 80-90% of the time the default + your make.conf is fine, but you can look through the useflags provided to see if you want to enable anything extra or disable anything built-in with a package-specific file.
And when doing world updates with -av, USE changes are highlighted so you can look through to see new use flags added, new default-enabled use flags etc., though again vast majority of the time you can accept as-is.
>>
>>108443425
I would agree if they also refused to sign off on things that send everything you do to other site operators, like the Google Safe Browsing feature. And if they still had "we promise to never sell your data" as an official statement.

Otherwise, while a good call in a vacuum, with the rest of mozilla's attitude it's just plain hypocrisy.
>>
>>108443268
>>108443666
Also remember that it's generally trivial to adjust useflags if you realise later that you don't like something: you can always just emerge -N. The only cost is the compile times, so it can be slightly annoying when touching flags that alter truly massive packages (gcc, clang/llvm, firefox/thunderbird, chrome, libreoffice), but those are relatively few and far between.
As you use your system you'll get to know better what flags you want, what you want to disable, and what you don't care about or are completely fine with the defaults of (which is the vast majority of them), so you might like to tweak it every now and then at first but eventually you'll barely ever modify it except for maybe package-specific overrides when installing a brand new package.

So for example a couple of weeks ago I actually wanted to try wayland, so I just enabled "wayland" in my make.conf and installed a compositor and some utils. Emerge also complained at me so I had to make a /etc/portage/package.use/wayland file with some extra overrides but that was actually again due to me not using a desktop profile, and I also added some overrides for the wayland compositor I installed. After using it for a couple of days I decided I didn't like it so I switched back to -wayland, unmerged the packages I had added, disabled the overrides file and
emerge -avND @world
to rebuild (actually I did -avNDu to also update at the same time while I was at it) and I was back to a wayland-less system.

Recently I've been having issues hibernating my computer. It complains that the swap partition is too small to fit the entire thing. I've read that that I can just modify the value of /sys/power/image_size to change the size of the image that's gonna be written to that partition on hibernate. My swap partition is 8388608000 bytes, image_size is 6555537408.
Can I make them both the same size, increase image_size or should I leave for extra empty space? Do I have to do anything afterwards or do I just save the file after editing and that's it?
>>
>>108444510
hibernate works by just dumping your system memory to swap. the typical solution is to make your swap partition bigger if it's not big enough to accommodate. i have never heard of making the data written smaller and while i don't have the deepest understanding of the specifics of hibernate, my suspicion is it would probably just break shit.

your swap partition should at minimum be at least as big as your physical memory. the old advice was 2x as big but that was when memory sizes were much smaller, 1x-1.5x is probably sufficient.
>>
>>108444086

>>
>>108444711
Arch wiki says, from what I undestood that image_size controls the size of that system file that gets written to swap.
I wouldn't be making it smaller, I'd be increasing image_size so it fills the whole swap. Is that wrong?
>>
>>108444771
then that's probably fine. i'd trust arch documentation more than me.
>>
>>108444771
No. Read the kernel doc link. image_size is only obeyed on a best effort basis. If you only have 8GB swap you can only reasonably expect to hibernate about 12GB total memory. Maybe try setting hibernate.compressor=lz4 or use an OOM killer to regulate it.
>>
>>108443675
Even if it was as bad as you say, and it's not, it would still be a good thing because conservative surveillance capitalism is an oxymoron. Shit like Gab and Brave deserves to fail. Those people are more dangerous than overt tankies.

>cpu fan is making a ticking noise (I could be wrong but it's probably the one in between the heatsinks, not the one on the outside yippee)
>not on low or high rpm, only around medium
>sound can vary from barely noticeable to relatively loud

I did some googling and there's no wire it hits, it's relatively new (2 years) and well maintained so no misshapen, bent or dirty fans
I just need confirmation if it's (likely) a failing bearing or not, how often those happen? would you still suggest manually putting the fan speed past the point it ticks if so?
any other ideas to fix the sound that won't damage the system? I'd rather not replace it but if I must...

probably not, if it's old enough it might have a cmos battery and sometimes removing that will clear it, otherwise i'd just take acer's offer

depends on several factors, mostly environment, but it's probably the most common way for a fan to fail. is this a laptop or desktop?

>>108446134

I should maybe also add that the ticking doesn't always happen when the fan is spinning at medium rpm, but when it ticks, it's always medium rpm. hope that makes sense
would you say it's safe to ignore or fix immediately?

I tried a wide range of phones, but I always sticked on mid-low or mid tier phones. Last phone I bought is a Galaxy A53 5G and it's SHIT. I swear, it can't even hold two, TWO apps open together as it will crash the other one right away or lag. Now that I really type this, it's clear that I'm just too stupid to buy a good phone.
On the tablet thing, nobody answered me in the end. I restricted my option to either Samsung S11 or the new iPad Air with the M4 processor or whatever it is. Both are around 700 euros. I like the Samsung has the desktop version you can use as it were a pc, and the screen is OLED, but the apple one should be more durable and it's also less expensive. Well, not counting how fucking much everything else costs, just the stupid pen i 85€. I'm more inclined to buy the apple but I never owned apple so... eh.

bios might have fan controls which you can use to change the speed for diagnostic purposes

failing that, some bioses will crank the fans while you're in them, if yours is one that does you could physically hold the fan you think is the problem and go into the bios to see if it triggers the issue.

After re-cleaning the port it still wouldn't turn on or charge, I ended up opening the phone in hopes of finding something disconnected but everything seemed fine, still I disconnected and reconnected all flex connetors and right after doing so the phone started taking charge again and so far it doesn't even turn off after connecting the usb charging cable like it did before, I assume it did had a tiny misalignment in one of the connectors because otherwise I can't imagine the problem fixing itself by just opening the phone and doing a quick check

YMMV but I've been using a pixel 7a with graphene for about 2.5 years or something and it's still about as good as new (except the various dents from me dropping it without a case, screen is pristine though so I don't care), battery still lasts 2+ days, etc. It's not a bottom of the barrel budget phone but I think I paid $400 for it, so very far from insane flagship pricing. I fully expect it to last 3-5+ more years. It's guaranteed to get firmware updates for that long and in turn graphene is guaranteed to support it, and it mostly just works. It's also got nearly identical CPU etc. specs to the $1000+ flagship pixels so I have no issues with it being slow or crashing or anything.

Sorry for still being no help with tablets kek.

I was trying to unbend a pin on an AM3+ CPU (an AMD FX) and ended up breaking it off. I highlighted what I think is the pin in question in pink. It looks like it's a "reserved" pin for "VDDD" so I might be okay? Unless AM3+ (as opposed to AM3) actually uses it for something. FWIW, it still POSTed (when before I couldn't even get it in the socket all the way)

On a related note, what would have been a good way to deal with the bent pin? Because this wasn't the usual kind of bent pin, but the pin itself was *curved* at an angle, kinda like a hook. Initially it was pushed up against another pin (and I guess the further pin bending was from a failed attempt to fit it in the socket). I managed to push the bent pin away from the other one. And as for straightening it out, I tried to squeeze it back into shape by pinching it with tweezers, but I think what ended up happening was I twisted the pin somehow.

Could there have been a better way to Amigara Fault that fucker?

>would it help to remove the USB I had the BIO on removed?

>primary boot option or something right?
the exact wording is going to vary between oems but it's usually called boot order. you want the drive with your os to be first.

if anything, just take a picture of your current bios settings with your phone now, then do the update, then make sure they match after the update. if something related to boot is different, change it back to what it was before the update.

Looking to replace my dead laptop, main use would be using it as an htpc and keeping it plugged in to the tv to stream my stuff from jellyfin
Ideally it'd have to be
>cheap, ideally 1000 is the most I'm willing to spend but I'd rather have something cheaper if possible
>light
>able to be controlled by my iPhone, using it as a remote or something
>a decent screen, ideally oled for the few times it's not plugged in to the tv
I was looking at the MacBook neo to be honest, which led me to think "why not the air if I'm already going for a Mac?"
Any actual sound advice before I overspend on something I don't need?

Asked on /adv/, asking here here too.

I'll cut to the chase: Is an associate's in computer science/application development a good idea?

Does anyone here have that degree and are they willing to share what their experience has been like? What kind of jobs can I get with it? What do you do all day? Do you like what you do all day?


Context:
>26 yo retarded man
>studied english in college
>work in news station for 2 years
>too stressful/realize english degree is bleak prospects
>study IT for a year
>get help desk job
>realize I really enjoy scripting
>take cs50
>have fun with final project
>don't want to do help desk forever
>don't know what else to do with life

I've done some research and skimmed syllabi for the degree's courses, a lot of basic to intermediate courses. Not a whole lot of upper level cs stuff like data bases, operating systems, compilers. Seems like this degree is more for future code monkeys.

However, I am considering it because:
>MUCH cheaper than 4 year degree, almost free if I can get job to cover it
>I am a credenitalist and like pieces of paper saying I am good enough
>I'm not good at self study and I think the deadlines of classes will force me to do the work
>I like powershell scripting and I liked cs50
>I think if I can find somewhere to get a year or two of experience in, then future jobs will be much easier

upgrading or switching from a 10year old computer that has been running windows 10.
I have no experience with macs or iphones.
I need it for video editing, so hardware level codec support is crucial, I also need light gaming (single player rpgs).
Does it make sense to switch to a mac device or should I buy a windows 11 laptop. Budget is not a constraint. I am considering the mac because it seems like a very efficient and non bloated alternative to windows and copilot.
>>
>>108449463
its really just a personal preference thing
you're likely to find just as many things that annoy you about mac os as you do for windows
you can also go the windows 10 ltsc route and avoid any copilot bullshit for a while yet

4chanx suddenly decided to stop working last night. It’s still running on old pages but anything newly opened or refreshed is done: no quote highlighting, no quick reply, no image expansion

I tried turning it off and on, updating… nothing. Any ideas?

>Is an associate's in computer science/application development a good idea?
no. are you blind, deaf and stupid?

first of all, it's not even a "real degree", so even in the old days before the jeet flood, interest rate hikes, fake job listings to avoid stock price downturns and AI-excused layoffs/hiring freezes, you'd be behind people with real degrees. of course after landing your first job it didn't matter.

but now code monkey, the only career path available to you, is dead. why would you even try to get into this space?

also kek at this. if you were an actual credentialist you'd have a PhD by now

Theoretically almost every time, but you have to know what you're doing. High performance thermal putty uses pretty evil solvents too. Wear gloves and take off-gassing seriously.

What's the most retard friendly way of making clips to post here now? Before this I was using the mpv webm lua but despite having the options for .mp4, the site seems to think it has embedded files in it or something
>>
>>108449923
ffmpeg. just google and/or ask your favorite LLM for the flags and options you need. anything else is bloat and/or malware

There’s an online portal I want to access at work. I keep requesting the URL get white listed but then the domain sends me to a redirect, and I have to get the new redirected URL whitelisted too. What’s the easiest way to whitelist access to a portal and any redirects, rather than whitelisting them one by one?

anything derived from Chromium gives Alphabet (Google) power.
if the reason someone switches away from Chrome is to stick it to Google he should do it properly and at least use a Firefox fork or the balance of power has hardly changed.

there are only two CFLAGS that matter
-O2 for optimized code
-march=native for autodetecting your processor type, i.e. sandybridge, skylake
-mtune= will be automatically set, when you use -march=native

as for USE flags: use profile based on your desktop environment, and then only enable USE flags for the individual package that you need enabled

Is Linux cooked long term? If all the ARM implementations are closed and locked by either windows or apple, and the best laptops in the future are objectively going to be ARM, where does that leave Linux? Who's going to create a Linux focused ARM chip? VALVE? I'm a bit confused because it looks like the death of x86 could be the death of Linux.

Ironically it's entirely possible that the steam GameCube could save Linux on the desktop by.... Making Linux gaming focused?

I'm a bit confused, it seems like it looks bad for Foss out there

nothing changed with the boot order sadly and its still stuck in a loop so I reverted back to the BIOs that does work for the moment, just really odd cause I have no clue what else it could be other than maybe corrupted windows

Can't you just screen record or edit a clip in something as basic as windows movie maker and post as mp4 here now? /gif/ accepts that format at least and its common. Strange if its buggy and leads to warnings
