The former. A lot of fonts are displaying a different shape and in the case of one in particular it's displaying periods where there should be a space

Hey friends, I have a question / dilemma

I am stuck at the moment with 3 sticks of ram. My laptop can only take 8gb maximum.

I have two configs available:
A: 2x2gb for a total of 4gb.
B: 1x8gb for a total of 8gb.

The problem is this: it looks like when I run sysbench memory test that A runs at 10400mib/s, and B runs at 4934 mib/s.

What is the better config? I am not hitting ram limits with A config (much, I do have browsers crash with lots of tabs.)
>>
>>102285948
You answered your own question, A runs faster because of dual channel.

should be a simple one for you wizards but its confusing me, ill try to explain clearly

vlc (or mpv but lets not get confused im trying to just fix vlc for now) doesn't load network streams (youtube) anymore, because google are gaylords and patched it out on purpose. internet says I need to use a FORK of youtube-dl called yt-dlp or something and then rename it? to youtube-dl.exe and i'm supposed to like already know how that works and then add the plugin to vlc

how?

replacing the lua for youtube in playlist DOES NOT WORK don't bother mentioning that method, its been broken for over a year, people are waiting for someone to write another youtube.lua that unfucks googles mess so it works again without the hacky solution im trying to understand right now. (windows 10, vlc latest) please help, I was trying to solve it earlier and then there was a power cut and i've lost focus, I need help please

for no particular reason have a johnny silverhand keanu rainmeter mask layer I "made" (posterize, blur, color threshold, color to alpha, in gimp) that you can use over video wallpapers to make your desktop look amazing (try "the matrix" for obvious reasons, lively wallpaper for live walls.)

>>102286553
I'm really skeptical. Copying a few GB folder in windows takes like 2 seconds, nothing on USB has ever worked at even 10% of that speed for me. Writing to my phone for example is still taking minutes to copy this data over.

'An actual SSD' has way more junk under the hood than your typical flash drive. There's RAM caching and smart processing and the flash itself is obviously magnitudes faster.
USB as a host interface is very adequate.

OK, my bad. It looks like I just had to believe. It works without the gateway just fine, it just looked like it wasn't working because it says "Unidentified network", but I just tried to open the network location, and no fucking issue.
When I set up the gateway, it gets renamed to "Network 15" or whatever. Also, any way to rename that? I'm a little tired to seeing a bigger number each time I mess with anything.

I solved most of it but now I need a way to have a tampermonkey script one click button a youtube video into (yt-dlp renamed as youtube-dl.exe + vlc plugin) vlc and play, or preferably just auto dl and open when visiting youtube (but not while looking at embeds else 4chan is going to open 50 videos lol)
existing scripts either don't work or don't do that. the plugin and yt-dlp successfully handle the rest

i've already written a hacky redirector for youtube to force it onto embed, as long as the url is clean (I don't know much regex) because it just pauses itself or throws endless ads if I don't do that (googles end, because I wont disable adblockers, which I will not be doing, because viruses exist)

Sure. i2p runs a HTTP proxy so yeah, you'd simply configure the local IP to your browser. Can't remember i2p defaults so check that the proxy listens to the local IP, not just localhost.

So I'm trying to host a website through Nginx Proxy Manager on CasaOS on a virtual machine

For example, I have a custom location set as follows

root /DATA/wordpress;
index index.html index.htm;

And error logs show "recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1"

Could I be overlooking something obvious?

I've already heard DDR5 is a bit special but what in the god damn fuck is actually wrong with DDR5.
So I have a Asus x670e-Plus, a 7950X3D and a QVL approved 4x32GB 5200 RAM kit.
4x32GB boots into BIOS eventually but RAM training (orange LED is on) takes over 5 minutes at stock speeds. Running it at the """validated""" 5200MHz leads to the system never booting at all. Left it running for over 24 hours before I pulled the plug. Never gets into BIOS required a hard CMOS reset to even get it to post again.
So I tried with 2x32GB which I can overclock to 6000MHz but time to bios is still consistently well over a minute regardless of MCR being on or off or auto, even at stock DDR5 speeds.
So I tried combinations of two different Asus boards and 2x16GB as well as 4x16GB RAM kits all with the same result. Boot times longer than on my current 12 year old shit machine.
Is this an issue with the 7950X3D or Zen4 in general? Is this an issue with Asus motherboards in general? Is this an issue with DDR5 in general?
I've already tried the most retarded and often conflicting """"solutions"""" given online with no improvement. I've tried up and downgrading BIOS versions with no improvement. So on and so forth.
I'm at the point where I'm thinking about just returning everything and paying someone the money I wasted on this shitshow to shoot me in the fucking face.
Is this really just DDR5 being the most niggerlicious piece of shit ever released to the public since Bulldozer?

>>102290252
in reality, probably nothing. Legally speaking, yes they would go to the VPN provider with a subpoena and ask who was issued the IP at whatever time/date you accessed the website. Whether the VPN will (or is even capable of) comply with this subpoena depends on your provider.

If the hard disk has partitionsm windows can be installed on a single drive lets say C drive and it will only wipe out the C drie as the remaining stays intact. So if the malware is outside of the usual C drive then it will just attach itself after the reinstallation.

>How can I get my vps to point to my NAS at home?
You want your NAS reachable at the VPS' IP? Port redirect or a tunnel of sorts.
>I have a nextcloud server that I want to upload content to from home but I don't know the best way to get nextcloud to recognize the
>path to my machine
Your IP? Does it change all the time? Do you have mobile internets?
>I don't want to vpn into my home network since the whole point of having the vps was to get everything off my home network
My router does a WireGuard tunnel to my VPS, I access it with a private IP. Just works and universal solution as it's all IP.

In powerpoint, is there a way to import a slide from a different presentation into your current presentation but keep it updated as you edit the original?
Example:
You have pptx1 that contains a slide.
You import this slide into pptx2 and continue working on pptx2, save it and close.
Then you go back to pptx1, edit that slide and save. When you open pptx2, that imported slide is now updated as it looks in pptx1

Thank you for the response. I'm not opposed to getting a Pi Zero and PoE cap of that's the solution
>Have PoE switch
>door bell transformer is right next to this
>door bell wiring needs to be replaced
>if I add another set of wires to the switch, I can capture and 'digitize' the analog switch
>i.e. if I had a small device that captures then the doorbell circuit closes and tell a program to do a simple http request, I can have door chimes and an air raid siren.
>*It'll carry 14-19 volts of current which I can address separately.
So my thought was to power and gain Ethernet through the PoW switch, then _____ product to run that 3 line script and monitor when the circuit (door bell) closes.
I used a CH340 240v programmable relay for the siren and have been viewing this in a similar light however different it is.

*sorry for the phone posting and typos
>*I'm not opposed to getting a Pi Zero and PoE cap IF that's the solution
It's a good idea and I went down that road until I saw the USB connection and thought I'd elaborate
>*if I had a small device that captures WHEN the doorbell circuit closes ...
So a device ran from the doorbell to capture when the doorbell is pressed, it makes an internal http request which triggers the already setup air raid siren. Wifi blows downstairs and unnecessary given the PoE and ethernet switches a foot away.

I want a system to handwrite notes and scan them I guess into a pdf or some other kind of file.
The pdf will have text I can copy, paste, search via grep or something to find stuff
My problems are
1. I have very bizarre handwriting. Ideally there's something where I can write out example sentences so whatever application I'm using can recognize and use my handwriting. Does something like that exist?
2. I have hardly any money. I do not need photo quality scans, what I really need is a cost/time effective scanner. Does anyone personally use anything specific for this kind of thing they could recommend?

If reposting someone's art without their permission is technically copyright infringement, then how come websites like rule34, Danbooru, gelbooru, etc, are still around? They essentially amount to piracy sites but specifically tailored towards art and especially smut art right? How come websites like archive.org and nhentai are gone after and forced to comply with DMCA request yet these guys seem to get us got free? To be clear I am not trying to champion copyright trolls or even the concept of copyright in general. I just find it all at that no one seems to care about The aforementioned sites. Maybe it's because normies are hypocritical and wouldn't fare touch their favorite coom sites?

Is there any way to quickly switch to a specific WIFI network using a shortcut in Windows?
Said network isn't always in range so it must also trigger a network scan before attempting to connect

Make a .cmd file that runs every 5 minutes or so with the command to show close wifi networks:

And if its within range just connect to it

I can't answer for the rest but..
>Does it offer network monitoring?
..this is basic networking. When your PC hosts virtual machines and gives them virtual networking hardware, it essentially becomes a router or a switch - depending on your VM configuration. You'd monitor your VM's networking *exactly* like you'd monitor some other computer plugged into an extra network card.
>Qemu
You got the options to
-NAT - like the VM was inside it's own "home net"
-attach the VM to a bridge interface for whatever reasons (wanna pipe the VM to Tor?)
-MACVTAP the VM thru your actual hardware giving it its own MAC address

Look at extensions like openwith or play-with-mpv or the many others that exist. You'll see they all require some additional program, script, server, or something to be run in order to get a simple context menu with an option to open a link in an external program.

Consider using ahk and making a script that runs when you hit super+right click to copy the url and then run it in vlc for you.

Currently working as an Engineering Manager at an agency. Only went to a bootcamp and then coded for 2 years.

I got this job as a Technical PM originally because I'm a non-jeet native english speaker and they needed people who could talk to US customers. Then they bumped me up to manager because I can handle a dozen large projects at once and we basically doubled the agency's overall workload between me and the owner. I manage 10 teams of 3-4 people, a couple of them have PhDs or Master's, all of them at least have a Bachelor's, we do legit work on production web and mobile apps.

The only code I do is code reviews and occasional bug chasing when nobody else can figure it out (and that's only because I can tell the DevOps team to set up a separate environment and let me go in to break everything until I figure out what's wrong, nobody else can pull that much time from DevOps and even with their fancy degrees I'm pretty sure most of them wouldn't know how to properly destroy shit in a controlled fashion).

It's an agency and even though I'm the highest paid employee other than the owner I don't get paid like my corporate counterparts. I also can't get corporate roles to give a fuck about agency work without a degree. Been here for 5 years and I want to break into cushy corporate where I'll make an extra $80-100k plus better benefits and comp. That's $2 million over my remaining career.

I have the high IQ 'tism and I'm technically legally retarded because my US state only requires 1 severe deficiency area compared to two in most other states. The govt just approved me for disability vocational rehab funding as "most severe" and I can get 75% of any work or education expense covered (normally it's 100% but since I have a high paying job I have to contribute 25%), they said it includes a Bachelor's Degree and possibly additional college since I'm considered so severe.

Should I get a Bachelor's Degree? I'm already 42 years old.
If so: Comp Sci or a real degree?

DP works fine but both hdmi ports aren't working (tried tv and 10m cable and monitor with 2m cable)
I'm kind of pissed because I don't want to spend another 800 bucks to replace this shit
is there any other way? I still have 1 displayport free but apparently DP sucks for gaming on a TV
is there any other way?

however I think the motherboard could be fried too because one of my SSD didn't survive the water either without getting hit by it
so maybe there's a lane on the motherboard that's fried and is causing all this shit

firefox only stores the last 7 days of history for some reason and i just found out the hard way. i see no options to enable/disable this limit and the option to automatically clear history is disabled. whenever i actually need to search my history its already several years old, how can i prevent this from happening? i'm starting to regret switching from chrome 3 years ago, the privacy violation might be worth the ability to access everything back to my first search among other things.

in case of relevance my os is linux mint with xfce/cinnamon de, mostly default just changed graphical interface, disabled/removed a lot of the features i'll never use, added some custom daemons, configured timeshift backups, and written/installed a shitload of other software that shouldn't be able to access my web browser's stuff. i like having everything nice and segregated, the only exception is my crypto miner because for some reason it requires root. i've still yet to figure out how it works so i won't be writing one myself to prevent this anytime soon.

There is an unused monitor at my desk at work. I'd like to use it to keep up with football scores since looking down at my phone is not ideal. I figure I have two options.

is it safe to get the inspire3 if I want something to track sleep? an uninsured sleep study is expensive and retarded where I live. I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm almost dying every night when i go to sleep.
$99 for a monitor isn't too expensive. The Charge 6 is an extra 50 bucks and does some smartwatch things like media control.
however, it says on their site that the Charge 6 has onboard GPS and the inspire piggy backs off your phone.
So obviously it's better to get the inspire right? save $50 and not be tracked at all times without my consent (like when i put my phone in the Faraday bag)

That's a good idea. I don't really want to go for comp sci but I'd like to stay in tech.
Since I'm mid-age already I'll be 45 when I finish school...I'll still have ~20 years of career left. Nobody is going to want a 45 year old writing code, and Comp Sci is already saturated, plus I already have the resume experience for management roles and systems thinking...
I figure I should look for something that fits with my age and my current resume rather than go further with coding beyond the bootcamp, those suggestions sound like good ideas or at least better places to start looking.

screen recording shouldn't be affected by your video card, since it's either done with a hardware video codec, which while it is in your gpu, is done in a part of the gpu specifically for video encoding, not the 3D parts, or it's done on the cpu
if you're getting lower game performance when recording, you're probably using a software codec and starving the game of cpu time

i've used various 'scanning' apps on my phone, they work kind of ok in ideal circumstances with limited requirements, like if you just need something fax quality and don't mine some distortion it's fine, like taking pictures of receipts or something, but for any kind of actual quality, where you want good resolution, colour, flat pages, etc, there's no replacing a real scanner

Checkout Auto Hotkey (AHK), there is very little you can't do with that. I think you can even make a GUI if you wanted to choose between grabbing a url of the current page or the link under the mouse (at the time the script was triggered). Also here is what I got from ChatGPT when I asked about making a user script and python server
import http.server
import socketserver
import subprocess
import urllib.parse

PORT = 8000

class RequestHandler(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
parsed_path = urllib.parse.urlparse(self.path)
query_params = urllib.parse.parse_qs(parsed_path.query)

if parsed_path.path == '/play' and 'url' in query_params:
url = query_params['url'][0]
# Use 'mpv' to play the URL
subprocess.run(['mpv', url])
self.send_response(200)
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(b'Playing video')
else:
super().do_GET()

Handler = RequestHandler

with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler) as httpd:
print(f"Serving at port {PORT}")
httpd.serve_forever()
