How are some image names evading my filter?
*.*
They all have a period, so I don't see why they're showing up.

is that regex?
if you want to filter everything with a period you need .*\..*
.* will filter every single text
no idea what would happen with what you posted but it's not how you filter all on regex

That's overkill, bu it depends on what you will be doing with it, if just light computing (word processing, web browser, file management) it is defiitely over kill, but with OS optimized settings, it should run nice and silent most of the time - well, if you install Winhoes.

>>101425258
Nah man, the local network IP address, you should have 5 IPs, 3 privates 2 public ones, there is the public IP of the VPN server shared by everyone using it, the public IP of your ISP shared by everyone on your network, the private IP of the VPN client, the private IP on the local network of the computer running the VPN client and the private IP of the other computer trying to connect to the first one.

First, do you have file extensions enabled? At the top bar of any windows folder
>View
>Options
>View
>scroll until you find "Hide extensions for known file types" and make sure that's unchecked
That'll make sure you can see the file extensions and can edit them. I'll assume the files you downloaded are .mod files, so you put .mod at the end. You should get a windows popup that says
>If you change a file name extension, the file might become unusable. Are you sure you want to change it?
when you are actually editing the file extension. If you don't have that popup, you're just changing the name (as would happen if the file extensions are hidden).

So long as a file is functional, the extension doesn't really matter for player programs like VLC because they have to read the file info to know things like format, writing library, or whatever other data is used to decode it. That's why it's working for you. File extensions are used by windows to find the right programs that use it, like the default program, the things you're struggling with. If windows doesn't recognize a file extension, like "*.basic instinct," it won't offer a default program in the Open With list. "*.mod" is recognized though, as setting that immediately prompts ye old winamp and VLC as choices for me.

Is really there no way to move the terminal cursor to where I click? Even in the current command I'm writing?

>>101426759
to clarify: i'm talking about zsh.
if i'm typing out a long command and want to go back without needing to manually move the input cursor with the keyboard... this seems like the most basic thing in the world but I can't seem to find any solutions for this.

>>101426759
you could write a script yourself for it. it'd be major pain in the ass but nothing too complicated. you would have to get the number of characters between your cursor and the mouse cursor then trigger the keyboard inputs required to move to it.

>>101426759
>>101426798
>>101426810
you seem to be unfamiliar with computers in general so i recommend python3 with pyautogui

>>101426829
my terminal emulator supports text selection with the mouse. (kitty)
so why is it unreasonable for it to tell the shell where i'm clicking to move the cursor?
please enlighten me, oh familiar one.

>>101426843
because there's no reason to. use your keyboard, the devs probably didn't think to add accessibility features for someone the application isn't meant for. if your commands are > 200char you're probably doing something wrong. there might be another emulator that does cater to you, but you'd probably have to dig or modify it yourself.

>>101424010
it's not completely universal, there's several variants of regex, the kind you use on 4chan X and the like are the javascript variant, though they aren't very different to each other

You sound like a gnometard. Also a VIM pseud.
Sure let me just press ctrl+left 10 times when it would be less taxing for me to just click where I want to type. This isnt 1999 where we all have massive keyboards and ball mice.

>>101426843
ok, so i looked at your emulator on github, the fact that it doesn't let you by default is a bug. its actually intended as a feature. someone said something about it working under domterm but i think you might be better off waiting for the bug to be fixed or fix it yourself.

>>101426914
nah, vim is only used to say you use vim. same with arch, the main benefit of running arch is being able to say i use arch btw. if you need to go to the beg/end of the command just use the home/end keys. if your keyboard doesn't have them rebind one of the useless ones.

>>101426941
>vim is only used to say you use vim
yeah that's how I feel about it. hence the pseud.
yes you can also press ctrl+a to go to the start. that's not what I want though.
long commands do exist. take ffmpeg for example.

>>101426948
you should use scripts for stuff like ffmpeg.
use the text editor of your choice (gui is probably better for you, i.e. xed) and save with .sh extension(optional)

to run mark file as executable and use ./filename to run it.

script files are essentially the same as entering commands normally, newline = new command with exception of additional syntax. you could also use commandline from other languages, high level ones like python3/java make this stupidly easy.

does anyone know if there's a script that autoloads catbox links inline as if they were normal image uploads?

Hey /sqt/. So I had a PC for 4 years and never had a single issue, got a new PC and decided to give my old one to my friend. I did the built in Windows reset to clear all my personal data and then mailed it cross country to him. Now he's getting constant crashing in different video games, the same games I played on the machine just fine, not whole PC crashes but just different games CTD'ing constantly. Obviously he's halfway across the country so it's hard for me to help him troubleshoot, so I'm trying to narrow it down as to what it could be.

Could the Windows reset thing have fucked something up, or could it be a hardware issue, perhaps something came loose in transit? I know it's a very vague question and without extensive error logs and stuff there isn't much anyone can do but I'm not really a massive expert and I'm just trying to figure it out remotely. I THINK it's probably a software issue since the PC itself isn't crashing, but could like slightly loose RAM cause something like this for example?

>>101427097
>windows
ignoring the inherent instability/unpredictability he may have mistakenly updated is to shitdows 11 or something.

also he could just be using cheat software or playing the game differently from you. did you install say nvidia drivers yourself when you played them? also ask where he sources his games, pirated software even without intentional malware is usually pretty sketch.

>>101427097
>>101427147
if you have delayed contact you could also ask him to verify the file integrity of his games. file corruption happens to the best of us on cheap hardware.

>>101426917
yeah it seems 'shell integration' just isnt working.
tried some debugging but it doesn't output anything wrong.
oh well, not a huge deal.

>>101427094
do elaborate?

>>101427147
>>101427175
The games he's tried so far are both regular ass games from regular ass storefronts (Honkai Star Rail and Total Warhammer 3 on Steam, both of which I have played without any issues). It was giving him a memory error for one of them but he said he tried memtest and nothing came back as being wrong.

As for Windows, I did the reinstall thing with the Windows 10 System Reset thing before I shipped it off. and left him to update it. I suspect this System Reset is the culprit because after the fact I looked it up and it's pretty unstable, but what can possibly be done from this point, get him to try it again? I severely doubt it's the games because it's 2 widely different games with vastly different requirements.

Last thing I can think of is probably an overclocking/underclocking issue? I bought that PC prebuilt before I learned to do it myself and it came overclocked, could the Reset have fucked something like that up?

I know this is all vague shit that is super hard to help with, but google isn't much better because 90% of it is people getting entire system shutdowns and stuff which isn't the same. It's hard to imagine it being a hardware issue since it's just games soft crashing to desktop and not like the PC is shutting down or overheating, but I'm stupid and that's why I'm asking stupid questions in /sqt/.

>>101427245
windows is a little bitch when it comes to hardware issues, if something when wrong in system memory you'd get a bsod. star rail i know comes with a rather... special anticheat so that may cause issues what with the elevated privileges and touching things a game shouldn't. as for warhammer, desu ive never actually tried it so i have no input. if you could get him on say a discord call and have him screenshare you could probably get info quicker. also send screenshots of error codes, this is a image board after all.

>>101427297
He went to bed after we spent a while talking about it, I'll try and get proper error messages and stuff from him when he's back on.

He did get a BSOD exactly one time when Starrail crashed but he hasn't had it since, if I recall the memory was about trying to read write only memory.

decent pc, better than my best one for sure.i'm fairly certain that even shitdows wouldn't have any problem getting those to work nicely. given my experience with windows, and what little info i have to go on i'd say the most likely culprit is disk error/file corruption. i usually use 3 or more disks at any given time; one for system, one for backup, one for bulk files. run disk checks or see if it consistently bsods while moving large files. if so, its a disk problem. if he was able to run a memory test himself i think he should be able to run all the other usual tests too.

>>101427440
I'll talk to him about it when he comes back on. I'll try to get some specific error logs and get him to run a disk check, and if all else fails try to reinstall Windows again.

Any networking knower here?
I got the following setup
>Router 1: The one connected to optic fiber and giving internet
>Router 2: Set up to extend the wireless range through a very long ethernet cable that goes through the house from one side to another
>AP2 has DHCP disabled
>AP1 wifi does not give devices internet for some reason
>AP2 wifi works fine
>Both work for devices connected through ethernet ports
>Both are set on the same 192.168.1.x subnet
>Both have the same wifi name and password
Why isn't the main router giving internet to the devices connected through wifi?

I've also noticed that when i tap "configure router" on the Router 1 Wifi details on my phone it shows me the configuration page for Router 2 rather than the one for Router 1 so that could be a hint to whats happening here

TLDR I have two routers but only one of them gives internet to wifi clients

Do you have router one setup as AP instead of router? That's probably your issue.

If I get a Netgear CM2000 to replace my ISP modem, do I need a router AND a switch to plug multiple devices into it, or do I just need a switch, and the CM2000 also functions as a router?

>>101431412
Nevermind. Just went with the c805k. Head empty now.

>>101432014
It's just a modem, so you would want a router. How fast is your network supposed to be? I imagine there are cheaper modems that would provide gigabit speeds.

>>101432142
1400Mbps tested. I need DOCSIS 3.1.

>>101432142
Also in that case, do I need a router AND switch, or just a router with multiple ports? I've got like 3-4 devices to plug in.

>>101432212
A router with multiple ports is fine, a switch doesn't have DHCP if I'm not mistaken. Depending on your ISP, they should just give you a modem. I ended up buying a tp link for Xfinity back in the day, was only $80. Have since switched to spectrum and their modem was free. My current router was $200 though.

>>101432390
They only have one modem for my plan, and for some stupid reason you can't port forward without using their app that doesn't work. Like if you log into the modem directly, that tab is just non-existent, but every other option is there. Might get an MT8733 instead of the CM2000 then.

>>101432448
I feel you pain, that's why I returned spectrums router and bought an Asus router. The modem itself doesn't need port forwarding unless it's a gateway (modem/router hybrid)

>>101432523

The problem here is "router1" and it's Wi-Fi settings. Or the router can simply be buggy, there's loads of software involved in Wi-Fi and bridging it to the LAN side of things.

>>101437352

the most portable is having a home server accessible from anywhere, and you can schedule backups, defrags, scrubbing, and all that other stuff you'll neglect to do with a portable drive
if you insist on carrying spinning-rust around with you, 2.5" HDDs don't usually need more power than USB can provide, but just in case you can use dual-male cables
but if you really need more than 6TB you won't find it in a 2.5 form-factor

>backup is 1.16 TB (1.18 TB on disk,) 102,276 files and 5,330 folders
What the hell gives? If I manually browse the backup, every folder's contents mirror the actual drive's, but I obviously can't inspect them all. I thought maybe the backup program wouldn't copy empty/hidden folders and files, but that begs the question of why there would be 40k empty/hidden folders and 170k hidden files. I don't think it can be a case of write protection/admin restriction or anything, because this is purely a storage directory. There are no system files or programs or anything anywhere in it.

In the case of one subfolder on the original drive, if I view the folder properties, it reports 1 more file than if I select everything inside the folder and view the properties of those. This would suggest a hidden file, but I have the option to show hidden files turned on.

In what other way can I be sure that all of the files are ACTUALLY backed up, instead of just taking the word of the backup program?

>There are no system files or programs or anything anywhere in it.
Turns out I was slightly wrong about this - AppData was stored in there and, being a hidden folder, is not being backed up.
If AppData is discounted then that leaves only a difference of 2,362 files and 321 folders between the original and the backup. Which is still quite a lot, but not outside the realm of possibility for hidden stuff. That doesn't explain why I wouldn't be able to see the hidden stuff myself, though - I can see AppData, after all.
>but it might be the recycle bin, backup software often skips that
The Recycle Bin might be contributing, but I can see discrepancies in other high-level folders. For example the Documents folder has 42 fewer folders and 410 fewer files in the backup than in the original. Most of the times I've drilled down folder by folder by comparing the discrepancies though, I end up finding that it is in fact some hidden folder. Maybe that's really all it is for the whole backup? I don't know why I couldn't see the apparently hidden file in the earlier folder, though.

>>101438479
it was never really a bad idea (unless you left the older SSDs unpowered for a long time), SSDs have nearly always had a lower overall failure rate than HDDs
the downside is that SSDs (esp. QLC) have much more limited total number of writes you can do on the device compared to an HDD
if you fill up an SSD with data and never write to it again, and leave it powered forever, there's no issue at all
the question is why? the point of an SSD is speed, not capacity

from what i understand it happens if you make queries which include user-defined input as part of the query itself in such a way that they can be interpreted as part of the query and not just data
like to give a bash example, since i don't know sql, say you have a user input a username which you want to assign to a variable, where you take user input, then construct a query like;

username="<the text the user inputs>"

a user could input a username like;

username"; uname"

which would result in the command;

username="username"; uname""

which will instead run uname as a command, because the user input double quotes which ended the variable input and then a semicolon which allows for running another command

>>101438794
should be noted that i don't intend to scare people off user input in bash, you have to go out of your way to do this, like using eval incorrectly or something

so one time on Lainchan there was a thread about making QR codes that can use ANY color and they're sort of masked over an actual image so they just look like an actual image with a checker pattern over it, diamond shaped too not square or at least they can be

when I tried looking into HOW to make those the thread and information was just gone, couldn't find any good information on archives either. haven't seen anything like it until there was a tut, how to via stable diffusion make QR code masks for like businesses and stuff, and while they're pretty good looking that isn't even close to what I originally saw either plus since you're splicing the QR with a picture and SD it its always square

anyone know about the former thing im talking about and related programs to make those? to be clear I don't mean black and white QR codes with a picture in the center I could DRAW that and have it work I mean whole ass pictures that can READ with a phone camera QR reader in which the QR is made of colours.

There's a cheap one for ~$210 at the 50'/4k I'm looking for, all I need it for is to watch stuff with (I already have a 1440p monitor for gaming), but I'm wondering if there's any catch to getting the cheapest option. All smart TVs (is it even possible to find non smart outside second hand?) have upscaling no? That's basically all I'm looking for, a cheap big TV to watch anime/movies at upscaled 4k.

I went to look at my recent sign in activity on my Microsoft Account.

There are like 10 attempted accesses per DAY from random countries across the world. They're not me.

I've had this account for 20+ years and it's definitely been in some data leaks. Should I be worried about this and is there anything I can do?

Can someone recommend a jerry-rigged way to get the AC air from room A to room B with both doors open?

Room A gets nicely chilled but the air doesn't really go into room B and what gets blown out with the fan instead spreads to the rest of the apartment which doesn't have any doors to close to trap the air in a smaller space.

i mean, yes - the more expensive screens from reputable manufacturers are 'more likely' to have better panels, possibly better QA. But i feel like everything has inbuilt obselesence now so even if it could physically last 50 yrs, the software will make it defunct in 10 so id buy cheap...

Google "custom QR" and there's plenty of options. QR code monkey and adobe are the top two results.

If it opens loads of windows too quickly and oyu can't be bothered closing them all, then you could always just restart your computer

radio shack before they turned until a cell phone store

Put a fan on the top of the door frame of room A pushing air in, same with room B but pushing air out, or get one of those inline fans and air hoses used by indoor weed setups.

none of those (google images) are what im talking about those are just the square ones with color.

*I guess I should try to be a bit clearer, they don't look like QR codes if done right, and can be any shape. the QR colors blend with the picture. and importantly it still scans.

Are broadband extenders a meme or do they actually work

Been using that USB thumb drive for testing various operating systems and that happened in the middle of an upgrade. Is it finally broken?
Never broke a flash drive before. (never had operating systems in them either)

I have two 1080p monitors. When I build a new PC, it will have a graphics card capable of 1440p. One monitor is for the game/Unreal editor etc, the other is for Discord and web browsing.

If I got a 1440p monitor for my "focus" gaming/editing/working screen, and used one of my current 1080p monitors as the Discord/web browsing screen, would that be possible? Or would having two screens each with different resolutions be problematic?

assuming you've tried other usb ports and it's not dirty or anything, and it still happens, yea you may have cooked it
most flash drives are very cheap in construction and aren't mean for tons of writes like "ssd's" (even though they're based on similar technology, there's some major differences in execution)

So you are carrying a 256GB+ stick with you all the time? With an OS installed, your favorite BD movie rips and enough space for what ever data?

Not the anon you replied to.
I'm not sure how a USB 3 sticks differs from a USB 2 in durability and life time. I also don't know how a USB 3 stick competes against a SATA 2 SSD. But if you say that USB 3 sticks are equal to SATA 2 SSD, than SATA 2 SSD must be a piece of shit, because I had a bad experience with USB 3 sticks.
I once copied a file to a USB 3 stick which worked fine and well without problems, 2-3 times later that file somehow had decreased in size and was suddenly corrupted. And I always safely unplug my stuff.
