Is something wrong if I'm not getting a perfect 16.6 ms frametime 60fps when playing old as shit games like Doom, Duke Nukem, Max Payne? I don't understand why Max Payne would ever move up to 17.5ms or below 16.6.

using a global 60fps framerate limiter with rivatuner makes my frametiming perfect with zero fluctuations in all of these games by the way.

I'm using omv on a desk mini I previously used as my office pc. I want to set up a nvr system and I was thinking frigate and combine it with a ubiquity g5 ultra or something similar. I'm planning to do 24/7 surveillance with about 5-7 days of stored footage. What do you guys think, is that recommendable or are there better solutions?

I imagine that you need lots of storage or a good cpu to transcode the source feed to save space.

I've recently had this weird issue on YouTube, but only on one of my accounts. Videos are partially obscured in the lower right corner as if the layout was wrong. In fact, if I zoom in to 110%, everything looks fine. I managed to find this:

Fellowship hall in a church basement?

Just finished cloning a failing drive onto a new drive. Everything copied fine except 5 images. 3 of them have thumbnails in File Explorer, 2 of them don't, and none of them can be copied to anywhere or opened by any programs (always results in "Can't read from source file or disk" error.) CrystalDiskInfo reports 50 pending sectors/uncorrectable sectors, which I suspect has something to do with it.

However, CHKDSK says that the disk has 0 bad sectors and that there are no problems with it.
Is CHKDSK just retarded?
Is there any hope at all of recovering the images if CHKDSK won't fix it and nothing else seems to be capable of reading them? It's not the end of the world or anything, but I'd like to recover them if feasible.

can a web admin or whatever see that I’m mass downloading videos from a website? I think they blocked my account from seeing videos but when I made a new account I was able to continue downloading. Tried my alleged blocked account on a different device and IP and wasn’t able to see anything.

Does linux still require 200 iq to operate?

what are the cons of linux mint in 2024? am I going to be able to get drivers for my 13 year old graphics card? will my 15 year old usb to vga adapter drivers exist? will my triple monitor setup just work like it does in windows?

plz help me niggas

>>102984763
I've been daily driving Mint for about two or three years now. Drivers are likely going to be automatically applied. There's an app store, and third party software is easy to install (if you use a .deb file, or flatpak). Give it a shot and if you have any questions you can always ask in #linuxmint-help on hexchat via the SpotChat server, or just ask here or the friendly linux thread.

Create a USB installer key for the latest Ubuntu desktop version. Download the .iso image from ubuntu.com. Obviously it will be slow because it's running on a USB key, but you can take it for a bit of a test run, and if it works OK for you, it'll work OK when it's installed, because it's essentially the same shit. Go with 24.04.1 if you want a more long term thing and 24.10 if you want latest and greatest.

idk about VirtualBox specifically but as a concept it's easy.
On my Linux host I'd simply create additional bridge - let's name it badbridge0 - and put those bad VMs into it. There are possibly some high-performing options, this solution takes in the host too. But you don't have to configure the host's bridge any further, it can exist without IP-addresses.

Don't two connected devices need to know each other's IPs to talk to reach other? Does my phone just spew requests out into the ether and hope there's a router somewhere that knows what to do with it?

To give some more context on my actual problem: I'm using an RPi 4 with OpemWRT as a router and WiFi AP. I need to install the driver for a USB Ethernet adapter on it in order to plug in my computer. It's set up for a static IP of 192.168.2.1 on LAN, and as a DHCP client on WAN. My Starlink router has assigned it 192.168.1.45.

The behavior I'm expecting is that if I'm connected to the RPi, I can access its web interface at 192.168.2.1, and if I'm connected to the Starlink's WiFi, I can access the RPi's web interface at 192.168.1.45. The behavior I'm experiencing is that if I'm connected to the RPi and it's connected to the Starlink, it's like it's not even there, the first step on a traceroute is the Starlink at 192.168.1.1. However, if I unplug the RPi's Ethernet cord, I can connect to it at 192.168.2.1. I can also plug it into my computer and connect to it at the same IP. Then if I plug the RPi back into the Starlink, I can still connect to the web interface on my phone but it doesn't have internet until I restart the RPi, at which point I get internet but not the interface. I need a way to connect to the interface and the internet at the same time so I can install the USB adapter driver.

>Don't two connected devices need to know each other's IPs to talk to reach other?
Sure, if you want to talk IP. Point being *the host* doesn't need an IP in order to run an Ethernet bridge. The Ethernet exists so the guests can use it, whatever the host decides to do with it, it's up to the host.
>RPi 4 with OpemWRT as a router and WiFi AP
So it has two wired ethernets - LAN and WAN - and one Wi-Fi AP? And LAN and Wi-FI being bridged together? Right?
That's what my Linux router is doing in the pic.
>I need to install the driver for a USB Ethernet adapter on it in order to plug in my computer
Right, that's the second wired interface.
>It's set up for a static IP of 192.168.2.1 on LAN, and as a DHCP client on WAN. My Starlink router has assigned it 192.168.1.45.

That's the idea, but it currently only has one wired Ethernet until I can get this driver installed.

>Oh, you are double-NATing. Why on earth are you doing that?
My network topology is utterly fucked, there's 5 routers between me and the internet right now and there's not a simpler way to do it with what I have on hand. In a few more weeks I'll be able to borrow a tractor and I'll replace my WiFi bridges with fiber. In the meantime, having a separate IP range for the devices in my house has made troubleshooting easier but not foolproof. I had all of this working perfectly before I nuked my OpenWRT install trying to fix an issue that turned out to be some sort of weird hardware problem with one of the WiFi bridges.

I just built a new higher end desktop and everything runs fine except whenever I try to play dota 2. While playing or viewing a match in-game my packets lost will spike from 0% to anywhere from 3 to ~30. The entire game stutters and after about a second everything goes back to normal. This occurs fairly regularly, usually once or twice every thirty seconds. I've updated all drivers, no other video games display this kind of behavior. I'm playing on a wlan but before the new rig my laptop never had anything like this happen.
I tried upgrading from Windows 10 ltsc to 11 ltsc to no avail.
How would I even start to troubleshoot this? Wireshark? Is there some way to log my network activity in dota during the match to analyze later? Any ideas?

>>102989932
those are very livestream-oriented settings for recording to a file. tuning for low latency can reduce quality in exchange for lowering latency (through things like spending less effort/time encoding frames and more readily dropping frames if it can't keep up), and setting a low bitrate cap is also something you'd only want to do with a livestream
slow seeks into long files could be the result of long GOP lengths. you haven't specified one so i don't know what the default would be for hevc_nvenc, perhaps you may want to set it to something common like 2-10 seconds ("-g 120" to "-g 600", as it's 60fps)

well depending on what kind of screen recordings you're doing, bitrate requirements can vary wildly. like if you're recording typical desktop tasks like using office tools, programming, etc where there's not much being moved or changed frame-to-frame, then 3000kbps could be overkill most of the time
i would suggest instead consider specifying a CRF value you like (not specifically familiar with common values to choose for hevc_nvenc, but it won't be hard to find), then setting a bitrate cap with

-maxrate 3000k

. this will allow ffmpeg to use lower rates where possible while still keeping it from going beyond a limit you set

>>102990371
To be honest, I'm just doing it through ShareX, and it only had a "Bitrate: " field without an apparent option for VBR, so I just went with that. It does support fully custom settings, so maybe I'll try to adjust that later, but I usually record vidja games where it's definitely not going to be overkill very often.

Any android app that can record audio and transcribe at the same time? At least English and Japanese. Chinese as a bonus
Even cooler if it can automatically recognize changes in languages.
Even better if it can even provide real time translation.
Saw a Chinese app doing all of that, though don't want to install a Chinese app.

I feel like I learned 80% of the basics (creating and editing tables, joins, basically anything on W3Schools) in my first three days of studying. Everything since has just been me trying to remember when it's Table.Column vs when it's Table(Column), or when I need to declare TABLE vs when declaring TABLE breaks the whole query, or some other strange syntactic inconsistency like that. I was unironically enjoying it at first, but now this kinda sucks.

Yeah you can just scrape off the varnish on a usable section of PCB and solder a piece of wire or copper foil to it. Lots of PCB repair vids on YouTube. Watch the old PACE soldering vids if you haven't; they're a national treasure.

>>102992892
>i fried the part of my mouse's PCB that leads to the left click
how
but generally, you bypass a bad section of trace by running a wire past it. that is, figure out where it comes from and connect a wire from there to the switch instead, replacing the trace with a wire

How much does it matter to have higher frequency RAM versus lower CAS timings? I see that higher frequencies also tend to have higher CAS latency, so is it actually worth using lower frequencies with lower latency in some applications?

>>102992892
Mouse PCBs are really easy since its like 10 traces tops, just replace the broken trace with a thin wire, post a pic.

>>102993147
>I see that higher frequencies also tend to have higher CAS latency,
Because its cheaper, silicon lottery and all that so vendors just sell high quality RAM on a premium.
If anything you should think about diminishing returns, for example in Ryzen 2000-5000 anything after 3600MHz is a 0.1% upgrade but often twice as expensive.

My question is about "DVD to videofile" and playback time related.
So I backuped a (PAL) DVD to my drive as an ISO. Out of that ISO I've created a .mkv file. Both videos, the DVD itself and the .mkv file have the same length and use the same fps. However, I've noticed when I skip to 00:01:00 (h:m:s) on the DVD, the same position on the .mkv file is located at 00:01:30.
Does this mean even when both videos share and show the same length and fps that the (PAL) DVD is still running "faster"? I know about PAL speed-up, but I don't see why this should have anyting to do with "this". The source is a 20+ years old PAL anime OVA DVD and my machine and location is also PAL.

Reducing the amount of boots / reboots is better because of hardware wear, rebooting cleans up your ram, and keeping it off is of course better for your electricity bill. Pick a balance that works for you.

Make sure to ask about transactions. Being able to roll back transactions is pretty important when using sql, although ORMs (programming libraries for using sql within a certain language like Python) often provide auto-committing (that begins/ends and rollbacks automatically).
On the programming side there's also sql injection: https://realpython.com/prevent-python-sql-injection/
Basically where instead of entering a column/row/etc you enter some additional sql that gets concatenated into the sql string and executed along with your sql.

About a month ago, I complained on /g/ that my (cheap) mice keep running into an issue that when I scroll down/scroll up with the wheel, it first scrolls in the opposite way.
Some guy told me that it's a problem because cheap mice don't know how to handle small specs of dirt getting into the place where the mouse wheel is. Like better firmware from more expensive mice can handle it.
So I bought:
https://www.logitech.com/en-eu/shop/p/mx-master-3s.910-006559
Thinking that €129,99 is surely expensive enough. I bought it on the 13th of October, 2024. Exactly two week later, today
>scroll down, jumps up first
>scroll up, jumps down first

For the cheap trash 10-20 Euro ones, it took at least 3-5 months before the wheel started acting up. The one that costs >100 Euro more? Just two weeks.

I'm not sure about padding. Resolutions and pictures are also the exact same, if you mean that by padding.
Otherwise, I wanted the trailers/teaser and stuff as well well, so I copied the "whole" DVD. I think the dialog box said something about some skipped "empty tracks".
>Are you not satisfied with the .mkv that it produced?
I only created the .mkv file for a comparison because it's easier than using the DVD/ISO. I just skipped through it. That's where I also noted the difference I described in my first post. I just wanted to know/understand why it is like I described it and not just being a 1:1 movie copy when basically everything (length, fps, resolution, picture quality) is the same.

Your pic says it's a Kailh switch, so I searched for 'kailh mouse switch datasheet' and found this page with a drawing and schematic:
https://www.kailhswitch.com/info/kailh-gm-2-0-20m-click-life-micro-switch-44835121.html
Not sure if this is the exact model switch you're looking for, but according to the schematic, there are common (COM), normally-open (NO), and normally-closed (NC) terminals. COM is connected to NC normally, but COM is instead connected to NO when the switch is pressed. The electronics are likely hooked up to COM and either NO or NC, looking for a circuit to be either created or broken through those two pins when the switch is pressed.

There is lead free which is the worst available that is 100% tin, sometimes 90% tin and 10% others to improve it.
60/40 which is "standard".
63/37 which is the good one and melts and sticks extremely easy, to the point that high quality stuff (Kester) is almost the same than cheap $1 chink solder for simple things.

Kindle not supporting epub directly doesn't really matter because it all filters through Calibre anyway. They're just slightly different formats of zipped html files.

Where can I find a USB-C cable that is charging-only (ie. no data transfer at all)? I understand that kind of defeats the purpose of Type C, but I have my reasons.

Otherwise, what wires would I have to cut/disable to make a USB-C cable charging-only? Is there a guide for this? I know that data blockers ("USB condoms") are a thing, but I want to look for a method that doesn't use this.

>>102999363
You always need an active data blocker in circuit or you risk equipment damage. There's no such thing as charge-only USB cables according to the standard. What people do to make those is short the D+/- pins on USB cables to make it appear like a dumb charger to devices, and you can do this as well on type C cables. The problem is some devices will try to draw until they see voltage drop, and on a motherboard that can cause a thin PCB trace to act like a fuse.

>>102999498
oh fug :-D

Is it possible for a data blocker to fail its purpose (accidentally allow data to transfer due to poor QC), or are they intrinsically designed so that data transfer is physically impossible (ie. it either serves its purpose, or it does absolutely nothing at all)?

How does one store ranked-choice poll ballots in memory in a way that is convenient for counting (using, for example, IRV)? The only thing I can come up with is enumerating every single possible variant of a ranked ballot, together with a counter for each variant that gets incremented when a ballot like that is encountered, but that seems retarded.

>>103002039
To elaborate, in IRV you need to keep track of how many votes each poll option has votes, and when some option is eliminated, all votes for that option are transferred to whoever is the next ranked option in the ballot. This means that aside from knowing that some option A has 500 votes right now, I also need to know who is the next option for all of these 500 votes

Ok, weird(?) RAM issue I have - bear with me.

Sticker on RAM says 3200Mhz, XMP is enabled in BIOS and even has a 3200MHz profile but regardless of if I leave the frequency selection on "Auto" or explicitly select 3200, my OS still reports the RAM at 2666Mhz - It also reports a lower frequency, 1.2V in OS versus 1.35V in BIOS.
ASRock BIOS also pissing me off because my first thought was to update BIOS but it can't find the BIOS file on my USB for some reason.

Any ideas where to look? Considering just reaching out to ASRock but I doubt they'll be very helpful.

Change DRAM frequency to Auto.
Let XMP change the profile.

That's what it was on originally, but results are the same either way which is what's making me think it's a BIOS/XMP issue. Voltage stays on 1.2V as well.

Hey I need a quick help again. I was trying to download Windows 10 and the installer says that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can be installed on GPT disks." What should I do now? IIRC I flashed the ISO on my USB drive selecting the MBR option on Rufus. Should I select GPT instead?

>>103004374
Use mbr2gpt.

>>103004374
Because you made a GPT disk instead a MBR disk.
Post rufus settings.

>>103004443
>>103004374
Also unless you need a backup just delete all partitions and click continue on the installer.
Alternatively open cmd and run "DISKPART", select your HDD/SSD with "LIST DISK" and "SEL DISK number" and hit clean.

I am at my wits end here. Long story short is I used to be able to host game servers but I am no longer able to, the crux of the matter seems to be not being able to contact any ports.

Port 25565 (minecraft) is forwarded in my router and rules have been set to allow inbound traffic in the windows firewall through those ports.
>Ports remain uncontactable on multiple pcs (I reconfigure the forwarding rules in my router whenever I try a different pc so the ip matches.
>I haven't added any internal port or source ip settings since it hasn't ever been needed and all guides advice against it
>Despite turning off firewalls on both router and pcs there is no change
>The IP address is public so it should be contactable, it used to work like a year ago.
Router is an ASUS RT-AX82U

I feel like I've tried everything in conventional wisdom, I'm not the smartest guy but I've been able to get it to work before with less effort than I'm currently putting into solving it. Does anyone have a clue?

>>103004504
There is the chance that your ISP put you behind CGNAT hell because opening routers on an asus router is piss easy.

>shared household
>router isn't in my room
>only allowed to use 1 of the ports on the modem
>I'm responsible for affixing the cable in place (tape?)
>have my main computer and a cobbled together storage system (soon to be a dedicated NAS (eventually))
is there where one of those cheap shit switches comes into play?
also by the time I do get a proper NAS set up, I'd likely keep the general storage system for my own shit (steam cache, my own personal files), then throw all the movies/shows on the NAS, so I'll assume letting them access the NAS would be as simple as setting it as a network share via W*ndows? or with it being through a switch would I need to configure anything differently?

How can I get this heatsink off. It doesn’t want to come unstuck in the top middle part

>>103004985
You take the motherboard from the case first then you remove the heatsink

>>103004985
running it for a bit or some hot air might help

>>103004985
Lift it by the metal parts at the top left where is the black square, it uses thermalputty which is like glue after a while.

I cant find a driver page for your laptop and it probably used Intel audio not realtek like all cheap laptops do.

Which windows version you installed? usually windows will eventually download all missing drivers eventually.
Open device manager.

>>103005317
10. It isn't a hardware problem fortunately. I tried Manjaro on live usb to see if the audio works and it does. I'm installing some updates right now. Actually there's no audio device on my device manager besides my microphone.

>>103005468
This is because audio is hacked up on your laptop by whoever made the motherboard, instead using a realtek chip for audio its using the iGPU through HDMI, something seen often in chinkshit laptops or cheap modern Intel 10th gen and up laptops.

Should I give up on trying to clean this myself and go to a store I’m following a pretty straighfoward YT tutorial and fucking it up. Took me 20 minutes to get that heatsink.

what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

>>103005579
That model doesn't use liquid metal but Honeywell propietary TIM IIRC.
Just use contton swabs or cotton with alcohol to remove it, and the only part where liquid metal would be a problem is the parts covered in thermal putty.
