Should i keep learning go or switch to c#?
I havent built anything besides some simple api in go. I keep reading that either go is amazing or that's it's an absolute shit language...
I dont like c#/java because of the complex oop that takes a lot of brainpower to parse, such as the factory shit or dependency injection
I also dont like that i have to use ide's and the package managers are confusing to use...
Do i just stick to GO and make projects and hope i can find a junior go position next year? i'm in europe btw

where do i get 61 cheap cherry mx red switches? or some decent knock-offs, something very similar.

>>102730528
just learn js + go you faggot. stop wasting time doubting and just code. learn algorithms/datastructures

when i run a live cd linux distro what eventually becomes the throttle when it comes to memory and performance, is it the computer's RAM or the flash drive's capacity? in other words, where is everything installed and kept running during the live session? i'm asking this because i have a computer at work running on windows which requires admin access to install/run anything, and i want to practice/study programming on it while i'm over there

Guy who knows jack shit about electricity here, so feel to correct me if I get anything wrong.

AC power gets used to transfer energy over long distances because transformers can shoot the voltage up, allowing it to travel at higher speeds, and then transformers can bring the voltage down so that it can be used in homes and businesses.
Yet, AC power goes up and down in voltage, moving from positive to negative voltage in a wave-like fashion. That's literally what separates it from DC power.

How does this even work? Wouldn't negative voltage mean that it's being pulled back in the other direction? I'd like to do more research into electricity at some point, but I have to focus on what's right in front of me for right now, and having a bit of background knowledge in my head might help me remember things.

Does compiling programs on my computer give a speed boost for my specific CPU and hardware or no? For example if I were to compile RetroArch and all of its cores on my PC would there be a performance difference from just downloading the flatpack?

>>102731220
i think it pulsates across the power lines and when it arrives to the house is turned to dc

>>102731238
Again, someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Your house receives AC power. The purpose of your PC's power supply is to convert it to DC power.

>>102731220
Yes negative voltage means it moves "back in the other direction".

Actually for very long distances DC is used instead of AC. DC becomes more efficient around 600-800km.

>>102730791
The flash drive will slow down all I/O operations but apps will generally be cached in RAM on first launch and stay there until the space is needed by something else.

>Wouldn't negative voltage mean that it's being pulled back in the other direction?
yeah but it doesn't matter
to power shit we need movement in general, not movement in a specific direction

Is it still important (i.e. ever useful, however rare it might be) to leave the D: drive letter free/unused? e.g. for old programs? I have 3 drives, C: (NVME), D: (2.5 SSD) and E: (3.5 HDD), should I assign D: to E: and E: to F: just in case?

Nah, even old DOS games let you specify the CD-ROM drive letter. I've never come across any programs that hard set it to D only. I'm sure there are some retards out there who did just that though.

>AC power gets used to transfer energy over long distances because transformers can shoot the voltage up
Yes.
>allowing it to travel at higher speeds
Eh, it reduces transmission losses since it lowers the current and power losses scale with current quadratically.
>Yet, AC power goes up and down in voltage, moving from positive to negative voltage in a wave-like fashion.
>How does this even work?
Yes, see pic rel. Back and forth does not matter, it can still transfer power, you just have to time the pushing and pulling correctly.

T-d$

>>102732297
Mixers add no latency, small ones usually power off usb but make sure to inform yourself if a separate power plug is a problem.
Know that you might get some hum/ground loop when one of the PCs is turned off depending on your house installations and it might piss you off to the point of manually unplugging shit. Not 100% to happen but possible.

https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=0601-AHT

This will likely work but you will need to get adequate cables or connector adapters that go from 3.5mm to 1/4 jackets and separate ones for L/R, meaning 4 cables going into the mixer in total.

Lately, I get errors when I try to buy something using my Google Play Store balance (I load it up with gift cards). The error tends to stay the same each time it comes up, and on Google support's end they get a message saying I entered an invalid gift card and need to re-enter it, when that isn't the problem. Asking them what the issue is and how to avoid this gets me no answer. I just have to message them, go back and forth repeating that this isn't the real issue, then they do *something* and the problem is fixed for a while. Then it happens again and it might be a different error, but they all lead me to the same form.
Is this a known thing? What the hell can I do?

You can plug it straight to TV, you just won't have any control over the channel it displays on. Same is true of any other old consoles that don't have a channel selector on the RF cable. It will probably be channel 3 in US. And for that matter they're all mostly interchangeable. For example you can use an NES RF cable on a Sega Genesis, so you only really need one cable connected at a time.

If Windows: Either put them in a second PC as secondary drives or boot with a Windows-based utility disk and run Partition Wizard. Do the "copy without resize" option first, then resize the main partition once that finishes. The reason you don't want to do a resize during the initial copy is because that will also expand the system volume partition, which is usually hidden and doesn't need more space. Run a "chckdsk c: /f" command after booting into it, then you're done.

It's /tmp for most programs, which is cleared on reboot. Browsers usually keep their own cache folders, which you'll need to clear either through their menus or manually through the file browser or a script.
Common locations:
/home/owner/.config/(appname)
/home/owner/.(appname)
/home/owner/.var/app/(appname)
/home/owner/.local/share/(appname)

>>102742007
Record it with OBS

>>102745678
>detect if the webp is an image or an animation
that information is stored in the first 64 bytes of a webp file
you can write a short script to do that

I have 7TB of files stored across 5 different HDDs, should I consolidate it all, or what do?

why is there no laptop discussion general on here?

No he means using a Chromebook because it'll have better displays at that price point, but I don't think you should do this. Chromebooks all have gimped keyboards and require way more work for choice in operating systems, which can often come to nothing even if it's not ARM. And I for one would find that, or having to actually use chrome OS FAR more annoying than a relatively low quality display.

Depends how shitty the stock system is. Does OpenWRT support all the hardware btw?

Any PHP bros here? I have a question about using a PHP function "mysqli_data_seek();". Should I be using this frequently or is it a useless niche thing? In our code base we have a bunch of tables generated by php where we loop through the results and above the while loop we will have something like "mysqli_data_seek($results, 0);". From what I have read it sounds like it does the same thing as adding a "LIMIT" to the sql query but I cant get a straight answer as to whether this is necessary or not.

>>102748876
what laptop is even worth buying that's under 2000 bucks

>>102750280
Yes, that's what every custom ROM is. If your phone's bootloader can't be unlocked, you can either attempt to use security exploits to flash a new bootloader and recovery partitions, or open up the phone, and manually energize the pins on the memory chips, which won't work if the data on the storage chip was encypted using keys in its TPM (part of the CPU die on phones) since trying to decrypt plain text doesn't work. But once they do that they also need to make sure all system files are properly signed with the OEM's keys that were shared with google for play protect and they can't do that without the OEM's private keys and some other information.

Also there's no real reason the OEM can't pull something like that.

How do I actually test latency on my network, reliably?

I don't mean a one off, but I mean comparing two different Router setups to see which one gives less latency, or if they're actually just the same.

I tried czkawka before, sorry about not mentioning it.

>>102752969
Have you tried the alternatives mentioned on that page?

My imageset was I think around 1000+ when I used visipics, it did help a lot but it wasn't flawless. I don't remember it being slow to interact with.

>>102752969
I'm also using visipics with 80k files, and it works just fine, although at some point it started breaking if I tried going through the images before it was done scanning. So as long as you don't do that it should be fine.

>>102753288
>>102753259
Yep, I've tried DupeGuru and AntiDupl.net. Never seen FSLint or tried the CLI options though, and I don't think I want to, I'm trying to check for image duplicates so having a GUI is sort of a must.
I'll check Visipics out, It's not that Czkawka is a bad software anyways so I'm not in a hurry to change. It's just that as my image set grows larger I start to wonder if there are better/faster ways to deal with the dupes.
Currently on Czkawka you need to check one picture, then go down, check the other, press space to mark it if it is indeed a dupe, and so on. I think that there should be a better way.

I've tried bios updating, removing all old gpu drivers, reseating all cables, changing the psu in case it was a voltage issue, I'm worried that I either bought a dud gpu, or my motherboard or some other part is fried and that means buying a whole new PC.

Alright anons I'm losing my shit troubleshooting a PC issue. Don't know what to try now.

Z390 Taichi Ultimate w 9900k
GSkill Ripjaw 4x 32 GB RAM
970 EVO 1tb NVME 1TB OS drive
2x 7200 RPM drives (WD)
Windows 10
3080 TI (5 months old. Old one died and I RMAed)
1200W PSU (Corsair I think)

The issue is that for weeks, my PC would have Windows Taskbar freeze and several programs. Usually Slack, Discord and sometimes Chrome.
Its impossible to force close them. I can't open task manager, can't ctrl alt delete. Can move my mouse around and interact with any program left open that hasn't frozen.
I'm forced to hard shut diwn.
Happens several times a day. Used to only happen if left idle for a while. Now it happens during active use too.

So far I've tried:
1. Reinstall Windows
2. Update bios
3. Try all RAM one by one (issue got less frequent for a while but then came back)
4. Try using different RAM slots.
5. Disable background services I'm not using
6.DISM /RestoreHealth and sfc /scannow
7. Samsung SMART my NVME drive (it's all healthy)
8. Monitor temps (nothing is abnormally high. 50c tops for anything)
9. Reinstall GPU drivers

People who cannot think for themselves already exist and use the internet, why should we not consider their user experience and ends as well?

>>102758886
it could be an attached device. Even a fucky USB keyboard can cause freezes in some cases. Remove/replace them one at a time to see if there's any difference. And next time it freezes just try unplugging everything and see if it unfreezes (this only works sometimes). If it is USB related, it can also be caused by a bad voltage regulator on the USB circuit rather than the devices themselves, and is triggered by your devices trying to draw more power than it can handle in its faulty state.
Also make sure to run an actual memory test on your RAM. I think modern Windows has one you can boot to iirc.
And besides the sfc /scannow, which you've already done, run a "chkdsk c: /f" command, and press y to run on next reboot. Even if the drive is physically ok, there can still be filesystem errors which chkdsk can repair.

Routing etc. doesn't matter as we don't even ask the thing for an IP. And that we stick to the LAN side of things. And we are sticking to IPv6 link-locals as it makes this whole thing so much easier.

So if the server listens at fe80::aaaa%wired you'd connect to it using an address of fe80::aaaa%wireless.
See, the address itself tells the OS to use specific links. Literal link local.

Yubikey proves it has a private key by signing arbitrary messages. The Yubikey is a dedicated computer whose only job is to hold a key and sign message when you hit button, so it's considered most secure against remote threats. OTP records a password on your phone and proves it has the password through time dependent codes. It can be compromised if the device storing the OTP is compromised, so if you're using the same device to store the OTP and access your secure service, it's kind of snakeoil. Text / call authentication has huge risk from the phone company being idiots or having compromised low level managers.

Slots are just different private keys / passwords.

>>102762525
So the ideal way to use it, if I do get one, is to put one slot towards Duo and one towards a password manager? Since it sounds like a Yubikey can only work with two services at a time.

I got a meebook pro e reader a few months ago. On Sunday it suffered water damage so I thought it was broke but it's turning on just fine. The power button won't lock the screen but it will allow me to turn it on. The screen still works but I can't turn on wifi. Every time I turn it on in given the message "you don't have permission to change wifi." Anyone know what to do?

if i record some shit via obs do i need to do any video editing, extra encoding or any other shit or can i just use that file and upload straight to youtube?

>>102762989
Youtube recommends uploading files as close as possible to the format they will output later on their website. For videos it recommends:
>MPEG-4
> Video codec: H.264
> Audio codec: AAC
> Audio bitrate: 128 kbps or better
> Aspect Ratio: 16:9
> Minimum resolution of 1920x1080 with a 16:9 aspect ratio

>>102763049
>Youtube recommends uploading files as close as possible to the format they will output later on their website.
that doesn't really make sense, they reencode it themselves regardless
following that up with h.264 just exemplifies this, considering this is not what most videos on youtube are
>>102762989
the only reason to reencode video you have for uploading is if you want to make it smaller to reduce the time and/or bandwidth needed to upload it, but whether you need to or what settings to use depends on several factors, such as whether the video is already relatively small, how fast you can encode it, and how fast your upload speed is

>>102762989
>>102763202
tl;dr, if it's small enough as it is that you don't mind waiting for it to upload, then just upload it as-is

I rent a dinky little VPS thats allegedly in New York but has a Turkish IP for a dollar a month, and its only got a paltry 10 gigs of storage total. Think its possible for me to make something to use that as a go-between to one of the fat cloud storage services I've picked up? I only got the thing because its always on and has a static IP, which my home internet provider doesn't do, and I use it to send fat files to friends who don't do computer shit and stream movies straight to MPC, but its getting a little annoying having to constantly swap out files over scp.

>>102763249
they're just guidelines to help noobs configure their software if they don't know wtf a codec is

(in your link)
>If you are unable to encode your videos using the preferred specifications, you can still submit your video in .WMV, .AVI, .MOV and .FLV formats. In this case, we recommend that you upload the highest quality video possible. YouTube will still accept your video content and then re-encode your video files as necessary.

>>102763261
yea, i've seen tools you can use to mount various cloud storage stuff to a folder in linux, which can then be served from your vps as if they were local files

>>102763320
>I know better than the guideline

>>102763389
there's nothing wrong with the guideline, all i'm saying is that if his video is something else, he shouldn't feel pressured to convert it just to match the guideline format, it will work as it is, the guideline is just a minimum recommendation for making new video files

So I'd need 2 devices.
One on device I start a iperf3 server (willl have to look up how)
then on the laptop, I connect to that iperf3 server?

is that right, and that will show my latency?

I have an IoT device that needs to perform NTP syncs. I can open a UDP socket and tx/rx data reliably with and directly to a host machine. I am manually constructing NTP packets and transmitting them to ntp.airvantage.net:123 but get nothing back on the socket. Firewalls are not at play on the device's side. I can construct the same packet on a linux machine and transmit to the NTP server and sync successfully. The same thing does not work on the IoT device and I can't figure out why (maximum effort for 4 days now, hemorrhaging time). Tcpdumps of the functioning communication look fine. I can't snoop the packets coming to the remote machine due to permissions issues but I don't know how useful that would be in this case anyway. Everything I send from the IoT device to the NTP server basically goes into a black hole and my socket reads time out due to the nature of UDP. Nothing looks suspicious in firmware - fairly convinced it's a network problem

Is there a way to block ads on an LG smart TV?

>>102766387
Depends on the app, but you could try your luck with pihole; Might have to find a block-list though if the default one doesn't do the job.

Is there any danger to using an external HDD for the boot drive? Aside from making sure it doesn't accidentally get unplugged.

>>102766548
Should be fine, but it could be a bottle-neck, depends on the connection. Just don't knock the drive around, impacts could destroy the drive/data.

What desktop resolution should I be using with a 28 inch 4k monitor?
Setting it to 3840 x 2160 pixels makes it slow to respond sometimes. I don't have issues running that resolution in games. Just the desktop when I have multiple videos up.

>>102766715
What resolution/bitrate is the video(s)?

>>102766872
Usually YouTube vids at 720p so 1280 x 720 5 Mbps. Might be them disliking Adblock.

what's the go-to cheap keyboard these days? I need a new one soon to hold me over until i figure out what I want long term because this current one is driving me crazy

>>102765401
>>102765369
I meant the ports in my desktop, not in the cable. I've heard that you need to connect 3.0 cables into the right desktop ports for it to work

3 days i had black screens. First day was figuring out it had to do with the driver, second day continiously reinstalling different operation systems, reinstalling drivers, changing monitors, cables etc. third day i see a guy mentioning switching his cable ends from monitor to gpu and vice-versa after having tried so many things i think.. ehh, why not. and it worked?? I don't understand computers. what the hell is this shit that swapping the ends of a cable fixes a gpu?

>>102767810
really cheap? that would be whatever they're selling on craigslist, because there's always someone with a keyboard or ten that outlasted multiple computers and now they just want it gone.
Generally speaking these will be Dell, Lenovo, or HP branded keyboards intended for office use that came with computers they used to have.

>>102768575
Same deal. Come on they're obviously going to have the same number of electrical contacts on both the male and female connectors.

>>102762689
No, you get a lot more than 2. There's 4 slots in the PIV smartcard functionality, but many more for FIDO/U2F/PGP/TOTP.

>>102758886
That sounds a lot like a problem I've been having lately, where after starting up, the computer would work for a while and then everything would freeze up, and all you could do was click and drag windows around and in some cases interact with some that hadn't frozen.

The solution I found was to reinstall windows BUT it had to be a clean install AND I had to re-create the installation media.

>So I'd need 2 devices.
Yeah, your laptop has those two devices. It has wired and wireless. Right?
If you don't have wired, use picrel. But bare in mind the cheap ones are 100Mbit/s - or 400-something case they are "gigabit" but use USB2.
(but if you do have multiple PCs/laptops/raspberries, you can use both too)
>>102762689
>sounds like a Yubikey can only work with two services at a time.
The key is just a device that decrypts data, not sure what you mean by working in this context. The key doesn't run servers inside it if that's what you are thinking.
Does the same thing as a chip card when you buy groceries. Or when the SIM of your phone authenticates to cell tower.
>>102763261
>I rent a dinky little VPS thats allegedly in New York but has a Turkish IP for a dollar a mont
Do a simple traceroute and whois and what have you. And do it for IPv4 and IPv6 obviously, could be your whatever IP locator service is giving you false info.
>but has a Turkish IP
Says who?
>its always on and has a static IP, which my home internet provider doesn't do
How often you do experience IP changes? Are you on 4G or other mobile technology? Those mobile things lose consciousness for a second every time you look at them or couch or whatever.
And if you are on mobile, can you even receive connections? As in are you CGNAT'ed or not.
>its getting a little annoying having to constantly swap out files over scp
Isn't it just as annoying to do the exact same thing with a VPS? Or did you plan on moving to more convenient solutions?

>>102770143
>not sure what you mean by working in this context.
Basically, the information that I stumbled upon https://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013790319-How-many-accounts-can-I-register-my-YubiKey-with
>Does the same thing as a chip card when you buy groceries
Yeah, but all of the chip readers are using one service, more or less. It's not like I can use my bank card as the key to enter a hotel room, for example, whereas the Yubikey would be for more than one service

>>102769228
Fuck. What I was trying to avoid. I may not have a choice though. I'm going to just buy a 2tb, stick it in second NVME, and change boot order and bounce around until shit is working again I guess.
