Repostan because I want to make sure:
I need an audio editing software to help me split up big mp3 files to smaller ones and do some light editing like crossfade and stuff. Right now I'm writing .cue files and splitting them with a .cue splitter and it werks but I can't edit the audio this way.
A colleague of mine recommended me Audacity, but he said that I shouldn't get the latest version due to it being "bad", and he didn't elaborate. What the heck was he talking about, does anyone know?

Yo. I've made a thread about it earlier because I didn't know the existence of this one.

I wanted to ask for some information. I think my SSD died, but I'm not sure. Yesterday I was playing on my laptop, and then I turned it off for a while to rest. When I tried to turn it on again (at most an hour later), it started to only turn on in the BIOS. I tried to check the disk using GParted, and it showed that its maximum capacity is 37kb and that the disk is "unrecognizable".The image is in Portuguese, but the 7GB partition is my pendrive with GParted and below is my dead SSD. Is there anything I can do to save it? I don't have much knowledge on data recovery.

>>
>>102090780
Do you have anything important on your SSD? If not, ditch it and get a new one. If you've got important stuff on there don't power it up until you install your OS on another SSD. Afterwards, connect your dead SSD and see if you can initialize it or if it even shows up. If neither, you'll probably need to get professional help, but in cases like these, it's best just to reinstall your stuff and move on.

i don't really understand why you'd want to upload 500G of data short-term versus just buying a cheap second hand hdd for that purpose

Am I missing something stupid? What's the difference between DAC and Fiber? Is DAC just a patched cable with SFP+ on both sides and Fiber requires 2 SFP+ transceivers and an OM4 cable in between? Do the SFP+ transceivers heat up like the RJ45 ones do?
>>
>>102092388
Just reading the specs, I can tell you that you'll get 1080 60fps, but the disk size is going to be a problem, depending what you're playing, after installing all of the windows updates and your game, your disk is likely going to exceed 75% capacity, and that's going to hurt your read/write speeds. $1,000 for 128-bit memory bus and half a TB of disk space sounds like robbery.

DAC just lets you connect SFP+ ports directly with wire adapters. A passive DAC assembly costs as much as one active transceiver.

I have a docking station for USB's and sata HDD/SSD
bought an SSD where I want to stash all shit I don't actively use to free up some space

I've stuck the SSD into the dock, device manager recognizes it, but I have no idea how to utilize the drive, as it seemingly isn't as easy as just plugging it into the dock and being able to access the drive

do I have to do something here? Something like, create a partition to the disk, and how can I do that? I did that when assembling the PC, but can't remember how and where to do it, whether it was through the OS or BIOS
>>
>>102094783
It's a command-line utility, you just write

>>102094632
The PC makes the air warm not the fan. If the PC isn't doing anything the air won't be warm. If your PC has no balls it'll probably never get noticeably warm.
>>
>>102095076
Ah ok then,thanks a lot.
>>
>>102094826
Use Disk management on windows. You might only wanna allocate 90% of the drive so there's still some space for the ssd to work when you fill it up.
>>
>>102094632
If air enters and exits, you did it right. What you want to avoid is having the same air simply whipping around inside the case. You want a constant, even exchange of outside air moving through the case and exiting.

>>102094632
You might wanna reduce the fan speeds if the pc is slightly loud. My pc is basically silent at idle

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-core, it overheats like crazy when I try to play almost anything now. It didn't do this before, but lately it's just been completely BSODing or just outright shutting my computer down. I've swapped out the heatsink & replaced it with a liquid cooling system. It helped a little bit, but if I still try to run something as strenuous as Warthunder of all things my CPU overheats. Other than undervolting or buying a new CPU, what can I do to alleviate this? I'm going to attempt to reseat the liquid cooling system's connector & all, but I'm just losing it, bros.

I'm a former pro photographer/photojournalist, and from '06 to about '14 I did my work on Mac because it was what my employers were set up for. Because of this all of my archives from that era are on Mac-formatted Firewire 800 drives, about 6TB total. I'd kept my last MacBook Pro, a 2011 model, specifically to use for transferring files from those drives onto my network but it had no USB3 and outdated network connectivity, which meant every method was extremely slow, so I didn't copy my whole library over. That Mac was recently stolen and I no longer have a way to access those drives because of it.

What's the best way these days to get those files onto a windows-formatted external without having to use a Mac as the go-between?

Richfag solution would be to limit all access points to 5/6GHz and have them on low power. This physically limits the attack surface but requires loads of money as you need a wired backbone and many access points. (5GHz access points aren't exactly expensive but cabling could be)

i always name my files something useful so that i can actually find them later. what's fastest for me is opening the image in a new tab, pressing ctrl+s, naming it for example "laugh999", then hit enter. then after the save dialog closes i press F1 for which i have bound a firefox-addon to open the last saved file in the default software on the system. the image then opens in my image program that i can use to give it the correct number.
it sounds tedious when i describe it but everything is done with the keyboard and only takes 2 seconds top for me after years of doing it and several thousand images saved.

is there a way to disable pip installing packages to ~/.local?
i have a base anaconda environment that users have r-x permissions for. users can use the base environment to run code, but if they want to install packages they need to make their own venv. if they try to install a conda package in the base environment, conda complains that the user doesnt have write permissions and fails, good stuff. however, if a user tries to install a pip package, pip will try to write to the base env, fail, and then *suggests that the user uses the --user flag* to get the install to work (those fuckers). if the user does use the --user flag, then pip installs the package to ~/.local, outside of any venv. i can already tell is this going to break shit. how can i force pip to only install to the environment, and not to user-site?

most basic: hidden SSID, WPA3 if supported, complex long and random password.
From what I remember, most WPA2 attacks were about capturing the encrypted password and using more or less elaborate bruteforcing methods on it.
that is impossible on WPA3 and with WPA2 and a long password (preferrably random and complex, but a mangled phrase should do), that is not getting bruteforced either.

>solution would be to limit all access points to 5/6GHz and have them on low power. This physically limits the attack surface but requires loads of money as you need a wired backbone and many access points. (5GHz access points aren't exactly expensive but cabling could be)

Signal, Threema and Telegram all have open source clients with reproducible buids. So there are many interested eyes on it to look for weak spots.

Extending Wi-Fi is the absolute worst you can do. Extender is just an access point and a client in one box that taps as a client to a parent access point.

depends on your bios if you can disable drives there.
windows does not not natively bring ext4 support, which is probably the filesystem for your mint install. so a virus would have to bring its own tools for that, which is unlikely. malware tries to keep a small footprint. so it cannot read your files there.
however, if it were evil, it could format the drive or overwrite the partition table, which means you might be able to safe some data, but with a lot of effort. not usually what malware does afaik, but possible. plugging in and out is paranoid, but very safe.
if you dont mind the messy look, keep your SSDs outside the case and run the sata cable out the front or back for easy access.

Anyone know how to stream something as MP4 with ffmpeg? Like, is there a specific name or term for it I should be looking up?

For context, I'm playing some shitty game that can display videos in-game and I want to tune into always-on streams on it live. Issue is it only takes .mp4, and I had given up on the idea until I learnt Picarto does serve streams as MP4 (among other options, such as the usual HLS), which the game is able to tune into perfectly fine.
So far I've got this, which works on ffplay, VLC, MPC and Firefox the same way picarto streams do, as far as I can tell, but fails to work on that game:
ffmpeg -re -i https://streaming.meteonews.net/hls/stream.m3u8 -preset ultrafast -listen 1 -c:v h264 -c:a aac -f mp4 -content_type video/mp4 -g 60 -movflags faststart+frag_keyframe+empty_moov http://localhost:8080/test.mp4

Your house has an IP address given to you by your ISP. Every time you connect to a server on the internet, you provide that IP address to them so they know where to send the requested data.
IP ban simply means the website/server has blacklisted that IP and refuses to serve it.

English is a mess but this sort of thing is why we have punctuation and ought to write clearly. Did that sentence need a comma? Fuck knows.
Depends how you're wanting the groups of words to be separated. Linguists have systems to break sentences into components (e.g. clauses) and I'd be surprised if that hasn't been automated already.
If it's where the stress or key points go, that falls to the writer, or think how it could be interpreted differently depending on the reader. "Gen Z are smoking less - tobacco companies are becoming a thing of the past." Positive health news or negative business news?
For natural speech I swear I have seen text-to-speech software that highlights chunks as it goes along. Not just a single word, like karaoke, but the current 'breath'. I might be misremembering but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about.

Went with a 100 GB SSD a couple years after this guide, when prices dropped and the common wisdom was SSD for OS, mechanical for storage.
Now we're even further in the future and $200 can net a 4 TB SSD. No intentions of leaving it unpowered in a magnet factory then hooking it up to a car battery. Does being non-mechanical lower the degradation that comes with constant read/writes, moving parts?

*BEEP BOOP BEEP*
>In functional programming, a monad is a structure that combines program fragments (functions) and wraps their return values in a type with additional computation. In addition to defining a wrapping monadic type, monads define two operators: one to wrap a value in the monad type, and another to compose together functions that output values of the monad type (these are known as monadic functions). General-purpose languages use monads to reduce boilerplate code needed for common operations (such as dealing with undefined values or fallible functions, or encapsulating bookkeeping code). Functional languages use monads to turn complicated sequences of functions into succinct pipelines that abstract away control flow, and side-effects.

I just installed a 6600 XT gpu on a mobo. I plugged in the "very fast" HDMI cable from the 2010 made monitor to it and I get it to post the mobo start screen but then it switches to no HDMI signal before it loads the OS.

Could the monitor be too old?
>>
>>102117954
Check the HDMI Cable:
Even though you mentioned it's a "very fast" cable, it could be that the older HDMI cable isn't fully compatible with the newer GPU. Try using a more recent HDMI cable, ideally one rated for HDMI 2.0 or higher.

Try a Different Port:
If your monitor has multiple HDMI ports or other inputs like DisplayPort, try using a different one. Likewise, if your GPU has multiple HDMI outputs, try a different output.

Boot into Safe Mode:
If the system posts but loses the signal when the OS loads, it could be a driver issue. Try booting into Safe Mode to see if the OS loads. If it does, reinstall or update the GPU drivers.

Check BIOS Settings:
Sometimes, the BIOS might be set to output video through integrated graphics instead of the dedicated GPU. Enter the BIOS during boot and ensure that the GPU is set as the primary video output.

Update BIOS/UEFI:
If your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI is outdated, it might not fully support the new GPU. Check the motherboard manufacturer’s website for a BIOS update.
Monitor Compatibility:
Since your monitor is from 2010, it might not fully support the newer resolutions or refresh rates the 6600 XT is trying to output. Try lowering the resolution and refresh rate in the OS settings (if you can get there in Safe Mode).

Test on a Different Monitor:
If possible, test the GPU with a more recent monitor. If it works fine there, it suggests the issue might be due to the older monitor not handling the signal correctly.

Re-seat the GPU:
Power down the system, re-seat the GPU in its slot, and ensure that all power connectors are properly connected.

Check for Firmware Updates on the Monitor:
Some monitors, especially older ones, might have firmware updates available that can improve compatibility with newer hardware.

I found an extension that allows a full screen button on the toolbar but I wonder if its possible to do without one.

This extension seems like overkill but it can do what you want:
https://www.autocontrol.app/custom-toolbar-buttons

Did Chrome USED TO have the Firefox style drag-and-drop customization? I just opened Chromium for the first time in years, The only thing I found was a toggle for 'Show Home button'.

Well, that was a faff but it works. For each button, you install ANOTHER extension because I guess that's the only way to get a button on Chrome's toolbar. Clever workaround, but Christ.

>>102118855
The extension also requires you to run a random .exe. If I wasn't in a botnet from opening Chrome, I'm sure in one now!

Don't mess with Davinci or Premiere unless you have A LOT of time on your hands to for the HUGE learning curve, and bunch of hair you dont like anymore because you will be pulling it out. I wasted so much time just learning to do basic stuff in Resolve and Premiere, its super easy is with CapCut or Filmora.

Downside is Filmora will try to get you to buy it and the company behind it is scammy

Capcut is free

some generals have names that occur frequently in random words as well, so searching the catalog specifically for /word/ will only return that general, instead of a bunch of unrelated threads

My ISP recently doubled the monthly price for my Internet. If I call them and threaten to cancel, will they drop it back down? I figured at this point, that's such a common bluff that they'd just immediately forward me to the actual cancellation people, since they'd know that I don't actually want to cancel.

thank you, unfortunately nothing worked. The only thing I haven't been able to do yet is update the firmware of the monitor.

I have to reinstall the old gpu to have access to the OS for that which I'll try later today.

I think the monitor is just too old.

The gpu works with a different recent 4k monitor with all 4 ports (HDMIs and Displayports) and boots into the OS.

With the old monitor, trying different HDMI cables (2.0 or 1.4) doesn't work. Trying different HDMI ports on the GPU doesn't work. Flashing the bios with new firmware doesn't work. Installing the gpu to the latest drivers doesn't work.

I would like to think Mint Linux Cinnamon would be along the lines of what you're looking for. Then look around at desktop environments examples and pick one that you think you'll like. I typically stay with Cinnamon, but Gnome and Budgie might be good for laptop/tablet experience.

im troubleshooting a chinkshit smart tv called EXPOSE and its remote control has stopped working so it has become pretty unusable. i have in the past paired my phone to it via bluetooth but since it isnt my TV i unpaired it and now it wont show.

what are the other ways to be able to remotely control TVs? apparently it can be through IR, bluetooth or wifi, i am ruling out bluetooth for now, i just need to access the settings menu for this and the buttons on the tv dont allow me to do that.

so to ask, what are some apps you recommend for connecting to TVs through IR or wifi? ive tried mostly useless ones that have tons of ads and are barely functional

Sorry, I could have been clearer in my first message aobut my intentions. I've read from you guys, Anonymous on /g/, that systemd is bad and that I should avoid it. That's why I brought up MX Linux and that it was supposed to be the closest to windows as well from other sources.
Do you think I should ignore this and go for Mint Linux instead?

don't want to discourage you, but making a NEW mmorpg in 2024 is pretty fucking difficult. With any other game you do have competition, but also people aren't married to their favorite games. If you release a new game and it looks cool, I don't mind taking a break from my favorite game and give yours a try.
But everyone who might be interested in your mmorpg already has one they're playing full time

Did I fuck up my motherboard?

Got a new AIO yesterday (ryuijin 360) and got to installing it, no issues here. When I tried to boot this morning, the pc lit up for a split second before going dark, and I wasn't able to get any sort of reaction from it after that. No sound, no lights, no fan movement. Afer spending the day troubleshooting I found that all the components turn on once the CPU is removed. I checked all other components, starting at only CPU with CPU+24pin cable in the mb, then adding all other components. GPU, RAM, PSU, drives all seem fine.
So I went out and got a new copy of the CPU and put that in, same result. As soon as the CPU is in the socket and the retention arm is on place, no power or signs of life. Once the arm is lifted and I push the power button, everything turns on (obviously except the CPU, I also get the proper LED indication for CPU issue on the diagnostic LED).
I tried cleaning the socket and CPU with alcohol, no difference.

Did I fry my motherboard by somehow installing the AIO incorrectly or carelessly?

Is the mouse old? The cable connection at the mouse is usually the one to lose connection from wire fatigue. You can tell if you look closely, there will be a bulge or discoloration on the cable where it enters the mouse. Also the cable will have ridiculous bendiness wire the conductors have broken. I've taken apart several mouses, shortened the cable an inch or 2 for fresh wire, desoldered the old, soldered the fresh back on.

Are the ports (you mentioned using different cables; HDMI & DP) on the monitor visually in good condition? I had an issue similar to yours with a monitor that had been stored for 3 or 4 years and the contacts in the port had oxidized just enough that sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. A little careful scraping and vinegar dabbing cleaned it up and smooth sailing for over a year.

There's various means, but most straightforward way is to have a bunch of virtual machines, each started when the user logs in, with whatever one of many graphics cards isn't in use at the moment. Qemu will let you do that if you start the VM by feeding it a bunch of XML telling it what to do.
Straightforward as in you can do it with consumer hardware too if you really wanted to.

Firefox uses 'profiles', go to about:profiles and explore those folders.

This is how I move to new Firefox installs for almost instant old stuff saved and moved.
your computer, /home
.mozilla
firefox
first folder, something like: 40jxeim1.default-release-164460065789
copy that folder, when new firefox is installed delete the folder in that same directory and paste the copied one in, close FF and open. It will be janky at first but it will smooth out with use.

Another approach is to
Firefox (fork)
Settings
help
More Troubleshootin Information
Profile Directory, Open Directory
Now you are in the same folder as I suggested previously. Copy everything in that directory and then after installing the new Firefox (fork) you go to the same directory, delete everything in it and paste ypour copied info into that directory. Close FF and reopen. It's almost the same as the earlier suggestion except the folder containing your multi-paste has not changed name and FF likes that a little more.

I'd like you to try MX and then report back. Distrowatch always shows it as the top download but I have never heard anyone mention it.

A while back I was Live Disc'ing a dozen distros to pick one for a laptop I acquired. I have the MX 21.3 disc in that dusty pile but I have NO memory of what it was like. That being said, not every distro ISO is a live disc. Maybe that's why I don't remember. I'll try it now and report back.

More likely a combination of things.
1. Skill issue
Examples: what does Av and Tv mean on this dial? What does aperture mean? Isnt that the same as Tv?
2. Cheap camera with next to no manual controls.
3. Optical vs digital zoom, especially on an old cam with no image stabilization.

>>102129994
>Distrowatch always shows it as the top download
Distrowatch doesn't track downloads of distros, it tracks how often anyone visits the distro's page on distrowatch. People tend to click on the number one page more often.
I've read that MX was wget'ing its own page for a while (the number one before that was manjaro, I think), but I've been repeating that far more often than I've read it now.
