Im a brainlet here. I have 22gb left on my laptop hard drive of 250. When i do anything, photoshop, maya3d, etc, it drops. Last night, it dropped to 13gb. I ised ccleaner, disk cleaner, checked my downloads folder, everything, and got it back to 22gb, but what the hell is taking up so much space? I check my programs i have installed but they shouldnt be taking up so much damn space. is it all bloatware?

Yes, all modern software is. It expects you to have 16GB RAM and 1TB storage space it can freely use without you ever paying attention to how much space it is using. The concept of lean and clean code died a long time ago.

can someone explain roaming to me?

I've been under the impression for well over a decade that if you enable roaming then your phone may connect to other networks that are not your carrier and you will get billed exorbitant fees if you use it when that happens. However, my carrier notified me that they expanded my plan to their partner network and now I can use it in locations I otherwise would not be able to free of charge, and in the instructions I saw, I have to enable it from their website and then turn roaming on on my phone and when connected to these partner networks I will see the roaming icon but can use my phone like normal

This leads me to believe that I could have had roaming turned on before and I wouldn't have been randomly connected to some other network, because if not then turning this feature on now would lead to scenarios where I roam to a non-partner network / out of country and get hit with charges for it because I can't tell what I'm connected to

So my 2021 Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SSD drives just failed, both of them, following an unsafe Windows shutdown due to a hardware quirk.
I'd known they were faulty recently with bad blocks identified, and that these both came from a bad batch so I was preparing to replace them anyway.

PC wouldn't boot up until I removed them, all other drives are fine but thankfully I'd literally backed up everything of importance to an external drive recently.

The failed drives aren't recognised when I plug them into a Windows machine using a USB-SATA cable.
I need to pursue an RMA to get them replaced, but are there any tools that can help me make sure the drives are totally wiped of data?
They won't show up in Windows Disk Management, and Explorer will try but fail to list the drive.

I want to buy a laptop for gaming on the go and daily driver stuff because mobility is important to me and I don't stay at one place but my budget is only $1k

Any good suggestions for what would be a good laptop to buy? And is the difference between mobile 4050 and 4060 massive or can I cope with the lower budget stuff? Think the most important things for me would be durability and cooling because my current laptop reaches 80C+ really easily which is whats driving me to upgrade because I can't run anything without cooking it

You can try a Linux distro. You might look around for a copy of Parted Magic to put on a USB drive.
PhotoRec might be able to find it too, but I don't remember if it can delete files as well.

>>101356945
Yeah, trying a Linux distro is probably what I should be doing.
I've worked with Parted Magic on USB drive in the past, I'll have to get that ready using Rufus, thanks.

Booted into Parted Magic and it looks like all the data is actually still on there.
It seems that just a msftres partition on there is fucked. I'll figure out repairing the drives into accessible states tomorrow, I still need to RMA the things anyway and I can live without them for a couple days.

Is there anything I can do to make Windows 10 use less of it's page file?

I have 64gb of RAM, and i'm only using around 38gb right now, but the page file is at 25gb, instead of like actively using 55gb of the RAM and only 9gb for the page file

To be clear I do not want to place a cap on the page file size, I just don't want windows to devote as much proportional memory to the page file at any given RAM usage

>>101357017

Look into Lenovo's Legion series, they're usually pretty good. Not sure about the current prices. For those games you should be able to get away with the 3000 series cards if laptops with those in them are cheaper. I wouldn't go with any gpu with less than 8gb of vram in it either.

Legions are always over 1k
Cheapest I've seen is the LOQ 4050 model at $750~ and rarely the 4060 model that drops under 1k which is why i was wondering if the difference between 4050 and 4060 is so big

>>101358114
Probably because they only show the newest models. Check eBay for older models, which will probably have 3000s series cards.
I know the 4050 has less RAM at least but not sure by how much. Usually the cards have a significant improve until you get to the xx90s where that's almost more of a production card than gaming card.
You could probably look into Acer again since they're usually the cheaper of the big brands. They might have something decent.

I remember the difference between the 3050 and 3060 was pretty big, The 3050 was barely a 30 series card.
Idk about 4060, but your best bet is looking up performance videos on youtube. The thing about the graphics cards in laptops is they can be different wattages. two laptops might both have a 4060 but one might be capped at 95W and the other at 135W. The latter will outperform the former by a significant enough margin. The lenovo legion line is generally decent but look at stands or laptop elevators to help with cooling

>>101358025
It seems to be easy to do by accident if you're feeling around blindly for an open USB port at the back of a PC behind a desk.

Virtually all data has been backed up already, but right now my plan is to buy a new 4TB SATA drive (maybe two) when Prime Day sales start on Tuesday.
I'll then use Parted Magic to copy all the data across to the new drive(s).

For some reason it seems like most storage drive manufacturers prefer to make 4TB m2 NVME drives over SATA SSDs these days. I specifically want to replace the two SATA drives in my current setup.

Is there a way to transfer session cookies or whatever to another browser? Kinda like how that hack that got a few youtubers where it bypassed everything.
I wanna switch from brave to firefox but I'm logged into tons of sites I've lost the password + email to so I'm just hanging on by a thread

>>101358510
Under Firefox Settings, the general section has an "Import Browser Data" button, it's hard to miss and will probably detect Brave if you have it installed.

You should also consider setting up a password manager separate to your browser, so you don't have to rely on a single browser to remember all your logins.
Sounds like you've lost both the password and email though, so you're still at the mercy of those sites revoking your session at any time.

>>101358561
Yeah I tried that and it just copied the incorrect autofill options without actually logging me into stuff.

>>101358510
>too lazy to remember how to get past the panda

>>101358587
Fair enough. I guess Firefox's import option really shouldn't be copying sessions across for security, makes it too easy to duplicate sessions for stealing data.
You might be able to do some direct cookie management via Firefox extensions and Brave devtools.
I would also look into making a backup of the Brave profile in the event that you were to accidentally wipe any critical data from that browser.

Practice doing it with a non-essential site login between browsers first.

You know it's actually pretty fucked that a browser session is a copyable thing and that servers don't throw a fit when a completely different browser and device is using a session from a completely different geolocation/IP.
They has to be some flexibility due to roaming networks on mobile devices, but there's gotta be a better way to prevent session stealing.

For the people who remember this Mario 7-4 puzzle, does anyone know if it's possible to do that kind of thing for a website with only JavaScript?
I'd like to have something similar, but instead of choosing a certain path you'd have to scroll back up at a certain point, and then scroll back down (e.g. someone would be scrolling through the page as normal, but then when they get to an image or div, it would "continue endlessly" (it just repeats itself) until the user scrolls up to before the image/div, at which point they can scroll back down and see the rest of the page continues as normal.

It sounds like it'd be cool but I'm not sure if or how that would actually work, or if it would just cause a ton of server strain at scale. I know JS can take control of scroll wheels, but I'd like something a bit more confusing for the user.

go to about:profiles
-Find your active profile (should be the one that says "yes" for default profile)
-Click "Open folder"
-Back up the entire folder
-On your new computer or whatever, copy paste your backup wherever you want (I do it in the default firefox profiles folder but sometimes I just put it onto Desktop or Documents)
-Go to about:profiles again and click "Create new profile" and select your copy pasted backed up profile folder

This has worked for me on windows, even for literally years old profiles, but for some reason it failed going from windows to linux. It said "you are attempting to use an older version of firefox" or something. Not sure how to get around this. But if you have the profile folder backed up you'll always have the login sessions, but I can't guarantee it'll work forever so do at your own discretion.

I'm not sure where firefox stores all the session cookies, I think it may be in the storage folder. You could look through all of those and update the passwords. If you don't delete cookies automatically though you might have a lot to go through though. Also no guarantee this will cover all your saved stuff, so proceed with caution.

You can do VPN so many ways.
>If I make a WireGuard VPN connection to my house, how can I access local resources?
>how can I access local resources?
That's whole another question.
You can think of WireGuard/OpenVPN/whatever tunnel as having another network card that was plugged into the other end.
>I have services running that I access via IP:port but this doesn't work when I'm on VPN
Who "does the WireGuard"? The local machine you have services on? Or do you have a router that *bridges* your local Ethernet to the other end? Or does the router *route* the extra net?
If you do bridging, please pay a lot of attention to IP addressing on both ends. You are making yourself a network admin now that you are interconnecting networks. (still assuming you don't route)

I have a point-to-point style of setup between my router and my VPS, this is from the router:

# 01-hetzner-wireguard.netdev
[NetDev]
Name=wg0
Kind=wireguard
[WireGuard]
PrivateKeyFile=/mnt/anime/wireguard-home.key
[WireGuardPeer]
Endpoint=**********:****
AllowedIPs=10.255.44.0/24
PublicKey=**********

# 01-hetzner-wireguard.network
[Match]
Name=wg0
[Network]
Address=10.255.44.2/24

Yes, systemd/Linux files. And ones for the VPS that looks mostly the same but IPs other way around and a different key.
This particular setup ROUTES (doesn't bridge) 10.255.44.0/24 between my local 192.168.1.0/24 so I effectively have an intranet here. I could've bridged it too but the peer on the other end has no reason to receive all my Ethernet packets, IP is enough.

My dad recently passed away and I'd like to access his devices.. He left behind a Lenovo laptop running W11 and a Samsung Galaxy A01. Both are password protected and I'd like to access them to reach out to his friends and sort out all of his accounts.

What's the easiest way for me to access them? Ideally I'd like to unlock both of them, not just see the filesystem since I'm sure he had a bunch of stuff in his browser.

I tried guessing his laptop's pw a bunch of times, the last time it seemed like it was about to log me in but it said the account was locked. It was just a local account from what I can see though, he was not logged in with a MS account.

As for his phone he just had a pattern lock, no PIN.

I tried googling but most guides recommended downloading some sketchy bloatware and I'm sure y'all have better methods.

Thanks for your help. Go tell your parents you love them.

At least it seems is not just a personal problem. This is an actual deal breaker for me, chances of firefox changing this shit back?

My phone has a 1920x1080 resolution cap on videos, so I tried converting some on VLC and transfering them. I made a custom config so it only touches the resolution and fps (if it's above 30 it stutters heavily). So they play fine but they start like 3 or 5 seconds in, which is a problem because they're short and supposed to loop. Maybe the problem is the bitrate? I add a 8mbps cap, nothing. Change the audio to play 128kbps, nothing. I use the pre-config VLC offers for both SD and HD phones and in some cases it skips even more. Any help?
Worst thing is when I try to google this youtube bullshit clogs the results, they're downloaded videos ffs.

Those file sizes are just for the programs' installations themselves, not the data they generate behind the scenes (in other words, this is the size the programs take before you start using them). Check out C:\ProgramData\ and C:\Users\username\AppData\ for the rest of the data the programs make.

Also, many of those programs in your screenshot demand way more than a 250GB drive. You may have bought it in 2020, but you went cheap.

And if you're serious about where your drive space is going, try TreeSize Free. Also post a pic of Disk Management. It's possible you have a factory restore partition or something that you might be able to remove and get more use of your internal storage. Did you use Window's own cleanup process in Settings > System > Storage?

>>101359969
>Doesn't a typical Windows installation start from 100GB?
A fresh installation without drivers or updates is ~30GB. After that, it really depends on how bloated the drivers are and how many restore points Windows makes during the installation of all that crap.

Yes, this is some of what I'm talking about.

The 850MB or 1GB partition is probably the Windows Recovery Environment, for when Windows can't boot regularly. If you're going to toss it, look online for how to disable the Windows Recovery Environment before you delete the partition.

The other one of those partitions could be manufacturer diagnostics, the bootable environment to use the factory restore data, or anything else really.

The 14.81GB partition is probably the manufacturer's factory restore data. This is probably a prebuilt PC?

If you manage to delete those last 3 partitions (look online for that, I'm tired), you can then extend your C: partition to use all that freed up space (right-click it in Disk Management and choose Extend Volume).

Don't touch the 260MB EFI System Partition or you won't be able to boot Windows.

I'm getting a weird issue with bash_completion when trying to change directories, seems to mostly be when a terminal session is fairly new, but it happens in older terminals too.
When I try to cd into my Videos directory with tab completion:

Videos/

It will autofill to the directory I want, but not before printing an error from realpath, which I wasn't even aware bash-completion used. What causes this?
This never happened until I just updated my system and rebooted earlier, so I'm wondering if one of the new versions of those packages causes this bug. bash-completion itself was updated last month, so it's not that.

I don't know if I'm having some kind of Mandela Effect moment, but back in the early 2000s I had a friend who was really into computers, and he showed me a programming language that he was learning. It was called Euphoria. I distinctly remember him showing me the IDE he was using for it on a late 90s spec laptop, one that his dad had bought from a school when they were selling off surplus tech. This was way before I ever got into programming myself, but I guess it kind of looked like C or C++. That's all I can remember of it, but every time I've tried looking it up, it doesn't seem to exist. Does any anon know what the hell I'm talking about?

I have been having loads of BSODs with various codes for a long time.
Just few days ago Windows became extremely slow and unusable.
As things started to escalate I reinstalled Windows and now it seems stable and responsive.
But I am a bit worried as at one point before reinstallation after a reboot my OS SSD completely disappeared and it wasn't visible in BIOS.
The clean Windows installation seemed to fix issues as of now but should I be concerned that there could be some hardware related issue as well?

I'm working on my own programming language and imports in it can either be scripts, if they have a specific extension, or executables that can communicate with my lang via sockets.
As of now they look something like this:

import "regex"

In this case, regex would be regex.exe on Windows or just regex on Linux. Now, my question is: how do I make the imports truly smart? All the library importing, as of now, is done before the actual script launches. I want users to be able to use variables in import statements and even stuff like string concatenation.
My ideas so far:
>the good
Shift away from the pre-execution import model and import just in time
>the bad
Introduce a preprocessor that only detects import statements and mines for variables needed
>the ugly
Introducing special comment syntax that will be used by the preprocessor

>>101370147
Your computer stores temporary things (e.g. your position in a videogame, where you are aiming, current weapon, etc.) in memory (ram), and permanent things (files, executables, videos, etc.) on disk. When your computer doesn't have enough memory it has to start storing things on disk, which is magnitudes slower than memory.

So when your computer doesn't have enough ram it has to read and write from disk which will be extremely slow. By adding more ram to your computer it'll be "faster" as you'll have a more memory to use before you have to go back to reading/writing on disk

this thing, I don't really know the difference between a modem and a router. Yes I can log into it and upnp is disabled

>>101371470
If it has multiple outputs and a coax input it's likely a gateway, which is a router modem hybrid. I hate those. I can't explain a modem very well, but it's essentially a signal converter that transmits/receives data from coax to Ethernet. Usually having a modem that only serves as a modem is best, because you can attach a router of your choice and have a lot more configuration options and firmware updates.

Gateways should have a firewall, similar to a router, so it's should be secure, now that upnp is disabled.

When you got shit like DSL or something and you have a "media converter" connected to it, the "media converter" is in fact the modem. Picrel for example "modems" the phone line signal into normal Ethernet so you can install any generic Wi-Fi box behind it. So you don't need to buy a DSL modem + Wi-Fi box combo thing as the selection is extremely small on those.

Can you do a alt+prt like you did before? Helps with troubleshooting. You're using a static build, right? So whoever configured that build didn't make it with libfdk_aac enabled. So you'll have to fall back on the aac option instead. Unless they for whatever reaason decided to use the appletoolbox version, then try your luck with that.

I don't understand the point of baremetal backup for PC.

For server ? Sure, you need to restart the server in a VM instantly, and you'll find the same hardware to replace the failed one.

For a PC?
If you have to replace it because of a hardware failure or you've lost it, the new one won't have the same hardware, so restoring it makes no sense.
If you need to recover a file, there are more practical backup solutions that use less data (NAS, sync, etc.).
To repair after ransomware, perhaps? But then again, wouldn't it make more sense to reinstall Windows (or a prefabricated image) and recover the important files that were backed up using the previous method?

I'm setting up a 3-2-1 solution and I don't understand those who recommend a baremetal backup.

building ffmpeg is more than just the ffmpeg front end binary itself
there's other other interactive binaries like ffplay, ffprobe etc. and even more importantly, the libraries (libavcodec, libavfilter etc), then there's a myriad of external dependencies (mostly codecs), depending on what you configure it to support

>>101377114
huh? oh right, we are on sqt...
what country are you in?
your circuitboard should have an RCD which is like a master switch and individual breakers for each circuit. when your circuit gets tripped, the RCD should be off as well as a breaker for a specific circuit. try turning on only the RCD on and leaving the other breaker off. if at that point you can't use your lights or your PC then they're both on the same circuit.

Right, I was doing my thing and oversimplifying everything.
Here's some actual info on the matter: https://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/multimedia/ffmpeg.html
>Estimated build time: 1.3 SBU
>(using parallelism=4; add 3.2 SBU (with THREADS=4) to run the FATE suite after sample files are downloaded; add 0.3 SBU for doxygen docs)
And here's explanation on "SBUs": https://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter04/aboutsbus.html
Depending on your potato I'd say it'll take something from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. I've ran Gentoo Linux for years and there's only a handful of THINGS that pop out as taking long to compile and FFmpeg isn't one of them. (Firefox, Thunderbird, Libre Office, big desktop environments, GCC and Rust take ages)

>>101377339
alone it's not that big, what i'm saying is that if you're installing it as a new package (i.e. not updating it), then you will also be bringing in a lot of dependencies (depending on configuration, but usually you will want a lot) and it adds up

>>101377479
(note that in practice you only build all of them at the same time once, when you first install ffmpeg or something that depends on ffmpeg, since ffmpeg is such a common thing to depend on, or more specifically its' libraries, then you'll almost certainly only have to deal with building a large number of deps for it once. subsequent updates only require rebuilding the few things that were updated)

>>101378513
maybe, depends on what the software you're using is actually doing, like if it's trying to thumbnail a bunch of images at once you might run into some ram-related problems, since 100 megapixel images means they contain (around) 100 million pixels, which are usually 24 bits per pixel, meaning they require 286MiB or just over a quarter of a gig of ram to store the decoded picture (regardless of how small the compressed picture is)
like if it's firing off a dozen thumbnailing processes all trying to decode and resize 100Mpix images, you're gonna run out of ram real fast
