It says
>Two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, dual-channel capable
In the Lenovo documents I found online. And it says that both slots have an 8GB module on the store's page where I found the laptop.
Does this mean the RAM is not soldered on and I'll be able to swap both of the modules for 2x16GB?

I want to scrape a simple independent website but not jeopardize its chances of remaining hosted should the owner notice what's going on. Is it possible to use random delay with wget, but only after files that would be reached via manual input (namely pages linked by anchor tags), such that it appears to the server that I'm just a regular human being manually clicking through every single page in a browser?

is there a way to remove Chipset drivers? or does it not matter if I have different ones installed cause I had just upgraded to an x870 from a B650

Is it me, or does wget not play well with frames? Or maybe it's how links are structured? Or it has to do with how Wayback Machine URLs are structured?

I'm trying to use wget (well, a "wrapper" from Flashpoint called cURLsDownloader) to install unreal.com from 1999, and it's not going well. It seems to fail to detect other pages most of the time.

Is anyone else having this issue with chat on YouTube live streams, where if you snap the window to 1/2 or 1/4 of the screen the chat turns into a black void? Tested and not working on Chrome and Firefox, Windows 10.
This does not happen when I am signed out of my account.
Chat works properly when the window is properly maximized. I turned off all extensions and it is still happening. I even added --disable-extensions to the end of the target field field in Properties just to make extra sure they were all off, and it's still happening.
Admittedly a minor issue, since it seemingly works properly on other browsers like Firefox, but annoying nonetheless. I like keeping all my YouTube browsing history on one browser (the actual browser history, not YouTube's), that being Chrome right now. It's annoying having to watch live streams on other browsers currently, and without being signed in, to actually view the chat. I care more about being able to see the chat, I don't really participate almost ever, but it's annoying if I want to add the video to my favorites/playlists as well, since then I have to sign in again.

NTA but I had a similar problem when I was installing an AM4 cooler for the first time and I ended up placing an eraser right below the (unscrewed) backplate because I realized there's nothing holding it to the motherboard once you remove the default mounting brackets.

To be clear, I did mount the cooler afterwards. You just have to support the backplate during the installation because it's usually not the thickest component on the back of the motherboard and so it keeps falling off.

Imagine you have 5 servers and you need to deploy several applications to them. Some of the applications are independent, others form groups; some are critical, others can run whenever resources are available. Some run sequentially, others in parallel.
You can certainly distribute them manually, but this doesn't work once you take into account elasticity – some of these applications consume resources based on external factors (like number of visitors) and there is no way to pin them efficiently to a subset of the servers: you'll either underprovision or overprovision resources, since you can't possibly know how much to allocate. If you allocate two servers for that one app, it will crash during busy days; if you allocate three servers, other applications will be starved for resources.
So you need flexibility, which is given by a scheduler. It is resource-aware and demand-aware. It can run things on a schedule (like cron) or by a deadline (like anacron) on any suitable server. It can run copies of applications on multiple servers, up to the limits you impose.
Then think of access: how do you give someone access to manage some application? It is wrong to give them SSH access to the server running that application, since that gives them access to much more and they only care about starting/stopping/deleting their processes. And if their application can start on any of the servers, you can't just tell the user to log into every server and check if the app is there. So you need a registry they could consult.
Then add forwarding ports, DNS registration, and you get a good chunk of what Kubernetes does.

Is this the right place to ask for advice and/or opinions about various brands/models of laptops?

My first priority is probably build quality. I want something durable, sturdy, well designed. Stuff like a magnesium chassis is nice for durability and robustness. Keyboards that don't flex when you type on them. That kind of stuff. I want something that feels *good* to use.

Second priority is performance. I don't need or want the most powerful laptop possible. I want to be able to play games on it, but I'll probably keep it in 1920x1080 @60 Hz regardless of what the display can run at. I also don't play a lot of brand new games but a boost in performance from my 4GB GTX 960m would be nice. I plan to build a beefy desktop later for heavy gaming performance. I do want to be able to drive the display directly with the dedicated GPU so it needs a mux switch.

Sort of a mix between the first two, I want a great cooling solution. I don't want it to be thin. The more thermal overhead the better. I also would love to be able to tinker with over and under clocking.

Upgradability is another priority. I know theres not much room for that in laptops these days, but I'd like a second internal drive, either m.2 or sata. RAM cannot be soldered. Easy and/or tool free access would be great for cleaning/upgrading. I like to tinker with stuff.

I want a display that has great color and can be used outside on occasion, so not glass or reflective. OLED would be ideal but having really good contrast might be acceptable.

It needs to have an RJ45 connector and strongly prefer a full sized SD card slot.

I don't need/want a huge battery, RGB crap (back-lit keyboard is sufficient), thin formfactor, touch screen, or AI accelerators/features.

I've mostly looked at gaming laptops on microcenter's website so far, but need more info. I've also looked at Framework laptops and I love the idea but I don't know if they have what I'm looking for.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's very simple. They just drill the hole from the inside of the house out, run the cable, seal the hole, and then mount the service box over it. Show the guy exactly where you want the connection on the inside and there won't be any problems. Provided the wall has outside exposure and it's a straight shot from the outside of the house to the cable box.

They got super long cables too right?

>>106722123
They send a guy to confirm how the cable is going to run first because if they have to route it under a driveway or wall, that's a different contractor they have to call out. Normally they just walk it up to the wall and leave a box for the hookup guy.

Even so, that being said- about real cheaters; why isn’t it possible?

I know that IS possible to server admins, but why wouldn’t that be possible for a cheater?

sure, but you might to program it yourself. i use this in linux with g15daemon. i haven't done anything fancy with it but there's ways to draw whatever you want to it from a shell script.

another thing i've done ages ago but just for fun and not something i actually used was i made a second fake monitor, and run x11vnc with arguments to watch just that fake monitors' area, then displayed that using a vnc client on my phone. essentially making a little wireless extended desktop. you can obviously put anything you like there. no idea if you can do this on windows, but you didn't specify what you're using

lol, looking up how to make the cursor visible on the vnc display i ran into a program that just does this all for you
https://github.com/kbumsik/VirtScreen
(haven't tried it)

as for clip related;

xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --fb 2560x1080 --panning 1920x1080/2560x1080; xrandr --setmonitor vnc 640/64x480/48+1920+0 none; x11vnc -multiptr -clip 640x480+1920+0

this shows me dragging a window off to an off-screen portion of the framebuffer, being served via vnc and then viewed in a vnc client window. almost any device has a vnc client so you can view that anywhere else

Hey guys,
I'm having issues with seeding in a p2p client (tried Transmission and QBit at this point). I can download with no problems, but peers wishing to load from me are rarely ever connected. I see a lot of them try to connect in the "peers" window and then immediately drop out. The ones that do connect usually have the U (Interested & Ready) flag.
I have port forwarding set up and the port is visible from the Internet. The way I understand it, I only get peers that my client pings, while other clients are unable to connect. Where could I start looking for the issue?

I fear I will break my hhd.

I'm using comfyUI in my secondary hhd drive and I don't know if constantly using that program is good for the drive.

Do I have to worry, what is the life expectancy of these?

Allow that TCP port through your firewall as well, if you're on windows you're going to have to make a rule for incoming and outgoing. Ensure that you have a static IP as well, so if you reboot your computer DHCP doesn't reassign the local IP. Disable UPNP

>>106726420
I suppose you can wake on LAN or something like that, I would just leave the computer on all the time, but then there's the hassle of rebooting for updates, which if you have automatic sign in that's not an issue I guess. Make an administrator account for updates and whatnot, and make a user account that automatically signs in, use the user account for all the work you want to do, and when you get updates you'll be prompted for the administrator password. You're going to have to setup a static IP for the computer and setup some port forwarding rules if you plan to access remotely outside of the LAN.

I may not be your fault whatsoever, it could just be that no one is interested at the moment.

I dunno about USB headphones specifically, I think if you want a budget pair then surely they'll be fine, how much can really go wrong
You can also always consider a dongle, ever since phones got rid of their audio jacks those USB-to-headphone dongles are really common, and even for $10-15 you get a plenty decent one

Unironically probably whatsapp, I think their crypto is allegedly pretty good actually. They can in theory always just MITM/backdoor you to get your conversations but, as long as they don't do that, it's very secure. For talking with parents I'd say it's fine. Whatsapp is also EXTREMELY widely used (especially in europe) so I think if exfiltrating user chats was common, a lot of privacy researchers and tinkerers would have caught it and made big news out of it by now.
Viber I don't know very much about but it's obviously equally centralised and backdoorable, and the thing is I don't really know how good their encryption is in the normal case. So it might well be less secure. It's also nowhere near as popular and so probably has far fewer people looking at what it's doing at any one time and "Viber spies on your private chats" would be nowhere near as big news as the same headline with whatsapp.

It will be "like a regular second screen" by the way, but you just don't need to ever move your windows to it or use it for anything, it'll just sit there displaying your widgets and shit

>>106724506
You could do that in many different ways.

1. You could find a small screen with a real display input (DP, HDMI, VGA, whatever) and just connect that to the PC. Use it to display the info you want and nothing else.
2. As a full commercial thing, you could look at the Stream Deck stuff. It's not exactly what you want (it has buttons and it's meant to be interacted with) but you can certainly use it to display stuff as well.
3. You could make your own with an Arduino, a Raspberry Pi or something similar. Connect it to a small display and send it the information you want it to display over USB (or WiFi even, depending what you get).
4. Use an old / cheap phone or tablet for its screen. I believe some Android apps to display info like that already exist. I don't know names so you'll have to look them up yourself.

>>106729970
>what temperature is it running at? is it overheating? did you forget to take the plastic off the heat sink?
During the test, went from 60 to 85 degrees celsius. That's after I applied brand new thermal paste, and there was no plastic on the heat sink. The only problem with it is that it's not screwed in because >>106718444, but it's pulled down by the force of gravity anyhow.

see, you would think so, but for whatever reason the boot options simply are not present in this bios unless i enable CSM, which makes rufus flip out about being not booted in eufi mode. thats why i thought i should update the bios.

>>106730914
I have never seen in my life a UEFI that doesn't support boot mode options or selection. It's a fundamental feature.

I would try fully disabling CSM to see if it appears. Also if the feature is available, try enabling a boot delay to see which key lets you manually pick the boot device.

I probably haven't used the exact same mobo you have but I've never seen a mobo with this sort of behavior. Are you sure it's not in some other part of the BIOS? Maybe try going into "Easy mode" or "Advanced mode" or whatever the fuck they're called, most boards have different UI modes. Maybe on yours the boot order is only present in one of them.
>they specifically mention that later versions require those later architectures
The first 5000G APUs came out AFTER the first wave of 5000 CPUs. The website is telling you that if you buy a board, the BIOS version it comes with in the box may be TOO OLD to run a 5000G APU, thus you would need an OLDER CPU in order to flash a NEWER version that supports your NEWER APU. If the NEW APU is already running then that means the BIOS version is already new enough to support it and you can use it to update to whatever other NEWER version you want. It will only stop working if you flash an ancient version that doesn't support your APU, if you flash something even newer it will work fine.

I mean when it works, it works great, but the load/lag between pages is so slow. Every second lost is crucial when you work sales, every second you lose = money you are losing out on. I don't think it's my PC (i mean, correct me if you think I'm wrong) because I have an i5-13500H with 16GB of RAM and an SSD so really I should have killer specs for anything web browsing wise, I use Chrome with minimal extensions besides an adblocker and every single other website I visit is snappy - I just feel like it's probably just Hubspot being very poorly designed. I open more than 5 tabs of hubspot contacts and my browser slows down and my PC fan starts spinning.

Anyways, I'm asking if anyone knows any tips to fix this, besides some dumbass "uhhh have you tried closing background programs/checking for viruses" which I know isn't the case, my Windows installation is very lightweight. I'm not sure if there's some other tweaks/workarounds I can try, or if there's a different Hubspot client or API into hubspot that could just be a little bit snappier. I'm just looking to save precious seconds & maybe even have more contacts open at the same time. I feel like the problem is Hubspot is just shitty laggy clunky new era HTML bullshit

How the fuck do I get 4chanX to work in Firefox? The fucking captcha does not appear, it's so fucked.

Update: Asus claims my warranty expired August 2023. I purchased it December 2024. I’m going to be draining the battery and see if that somehow does anything since it appears to be beyond repair.

I have no idea what a soundfont or fluidsynth are but
>/usr/share/soundfonts
/usr/local tree usually overrides whatever you got under /usr. So:
Put your custom "soundfont" under /usr/local/share/soundfonts/ and hope fluidsynth picks it up.
Generic Linux tip: you can carry /usr/local around different Linux installs. I got this arbitrary mount point where I symlinked /usr/src, /usr/local, /var/lib/bluetooth/ and also got my $HOME in there as they are distro agnostic locations.

If it's just a git repo you don't because they don't have subscriptions. You can write a script that polls git fetch && git status -uno and does something when your local copy is behind.

this won't work because the eufi is not detecting the ssd as an option to boot from. this is despite the fact that the drive is visible in the windows usb installer, or even windows itself currently as long as it isn't the drive you boot from, i could dump a bunch of files on it right now if i wanted to.
i've since learned that even though the drive was initialized in windows, and that it does have the right partitions including the efi partition, and that it is verifiably formatted in GPT, the windows installer isn't working properly with it because apparently you have to load an *additional* driver from *another* usb for it to use with nvme ssds... so that's the next thing i'll try now. to be honest i'm surprised what a fucking headache this problem became, imagine if it was just as easy as plugging it in and it works.

In theory no. In practice any deviation from 'drive running label up in low vibration environment, no more than 15C over ambient' will give some marginal cases the excuse they need to fuck off.

these examples are more complete and you should be able to compile and run them. are you using gcc or clang? you might want to enable compiler warmings -Wall, -Wextra, and -pedantic to help you avoid common mistakes. use tools like valgrind, gdb, and lldb for debugging. cpplint and cppcheck for additional warnings and stylistic recommendations but you can mostly ignore them. remember to use the -o flag to name your command-line tools appropriately. i recommend linux or macos because the command-line on windows is fucking weird

On Debian. I use OBS through Flatpak but OBS started using a fuckton of CPU even while idle when I'm not streaming or recording anything.

Is it possible that my [application of PRESSURE] during screwing could've caused any damage that would show up during memory testing? The RAM sticks are just a bit "south" of the CPU. At most, I lightly touched it a bit.

I did a Memtest86 check and mostly errors #8, one error #5 and three #13s. Can any of the errors in Memtest86 be caused by faults in the CPU (which has, over the last 3+ months, suffered continuously through T.j.Max heat)?

I find it mostly difficult to believe because I had faults in the RAM just as warranty was about to expire last year, so the seller gave me completely new RAM (same model, etc.) and it worked perfectly, 0 errors detected, in December 2024. Are 9 months really enough for it to get fucked up, independently of any CPU issues?

AI still has a limit on the system complexity it can handle. Not in the sense of local complexity like coming up with a complicated algorithm, but in the sense of the number of things it can keep in mind at the same time. As a result the larger the project, the more likely it is that it will start fucking things up because it forgot how some other part worked, etc. Sometimes this includes forgetting basic things, like not thinking things through for decent maintainable design, so it'll add a feature and then you go
>great it works! but what if you do it this other way instead? tell me which you think is better
and it goes
>oh this actually follows this and that and that best practice, it'll be a lot more maintainable in the future, it's a lot simpler and more elegant, the new way suggested is simply better than what I was doing before in every way, let me refactor everything now!
as in it clearly knows which way is better but it doesn't have the capacity to always remember all these things and keep them in mind when writing the code.

So basically tl;dr right now, as a human you can use AI to write code really fast, but you still have to read everything it writes and you have to be the one who actually understands the entire project and its structure and how everything is organised and how every part affects every other. You can't just tell the AI "ok implement these features", auto-accept and go.

Poorfag tier: used steelcase leap from a refurb office furniture outlet, they're quite good and go for pretty cheap
Otherwise ideally find an ergonomic office furniture seller in your area, and go try out a bunch of chairs, try sitting on them and shit, imagine relaxing and imagine working at a desk (they should have desks for you to try out your typical posture on)
Then either look at refurb resellers to see if you can find a model you liked, or just buy it new if you have the money and can't find it used

For refurbs, keep in mind herman miller is not better than the other brands (all the top end brands make good models, it's down to preference), but because it's so well known their refurbs tend to be very overpriced

Afaik yt-dlp gets the highest quality by default, not the lowest quality, unless it works differently with playlists somehow and I didn't know. I think there's an -f specifier you might be able to use for worst quality.
But
>144p
Are you sure you want the video at all? You can use -x to only download audio.
If you do want video, then I recommend playing with format specifiers to grab something like worst video and best audio (since audio is usually small), or maybe something like 480p video so it's actually watchable. Unless you really, truly want the worst quality.

Anyway
>403 forbidden
I don't know for sure but in my experience google keeps fucking up youtube and trying to annoy yt-dl just because. A lot of the time the fix is just to update if you haven't already. If you're on the latest release, try updating to the git tip:

yt-dlp --update-to master

That will set the update channel to git master for all future yt-dlp -U commands as well, by the way.
There's also other things you can try, like changing your IP, grabbing cookies from your browser (

--cookies-from-browser

option, check the help for details), trying logged in and not logged in cookies if you have an account, etc. But usually just updating yt-dlp resolves 95%+ of issues.

>>106735120
You can't. But in practice, are you actually encountering issues? I've been using exactly this setup for years and I almost never get conflicts. Just make sure your syncthing connection is reliable whenever you're creating new passwords (the only conflicts I've ever had were because network reception was shit, my phone had killed syncthing in the background previously, and so I added a password without syncthing having had any ability or opportunity to actually sync).

kbdx files don't get changed if you don't edit your passwords, as far as I can tell, so you can keep it open during read-only use without issues. If you want to be extra safe, just get into the habit of saving after every edit (I think most keepass implementations should already autosave though?) and, as mentioned, make sure it's synced before editing.

Could you hypothetically use your memory as storage?

>>106735201
Not at all on its own. Material is not very relevant. What's relevant is build quality - is the plastic one flimsy shit? If so maybe the aluminium one is built better and worth the upgrade; but maybe the aluminium is flimsy shit as well. The other relevant thing is cooling and thermals of the design. And specs obviously, if you're upgrading (I have no idea what ideapad model numbers mean though).

For example, consider three thinkpad models: T14, T14s and P14s, all with identical specs. The T14 is a plastic chassis, while T14s is an aluminium chassis which is slightly slimmer but has a better fan layout from what I'm aware, so the cooling is equivalent or better. So the T14s is actually better.
But the P14s (despite the confusing name) is a plastic chassis similar to the T14, however it actually has the best thermals of all three, and as a result has the best benchmark results (despite, again, identical specs between all three), at the cost of being slightly less super slim. Meanwhile build quality is great on all of them and the plastic ones are not any more flimsy or brittle than the aluminium ones.
So in this example, T14s (aluminium) is strictly better than T14 (plastic), but P14s (plastic) has better peformance than T14s (alu) at the cost of being very slightly thicker. So you cannot use the material alone to draw any sort of conclusion.

>>106735400
Syncthing and keepass are both working fine, just the way that I use it, with ideally keeping both open. So I wonder if there's a better way that I've overlooked.
Here's the problem,
>open on A and open on B
>save on A
>save on B - overwrites A
Yeah I know I fucked up by leaving it open. And I actually revision it in git to help fix any fuckups.
I know I could force all but one of the Syncthing folders to be download only.

>>106735416
Yes, it's called a ramdisk
It's very useful if you have a workload with very intense read-write loads, but a known limited amount of maximum space used that fits in your memory (while leaving enough memory for actual tasks), AND you don't care if you lose the latest data since RAM isn't saved if you crash or lose power for any reason. As a result it's relatively niche, especially since a lot of software (e.g. databases) already explicitly uses in-memory caches for shit like that rather than trying to use the filesystem and forcing you to make a ramdisk

>>106735447
Does your keepass not autolock after a bit of time? I've set mine to lock after 15 minutes or so. Maybe that's why I don't have problems, because it's extremely rare that I do
>open on A
>within 15 minutes, open on B and save on B
>within the same 15 minutes, also save on A
I just don't edit it all that often and so I almost never edit it on two devices within the span of the same 15 minutes.

If you do edit it often enough to be an issue, then honestly no there's no good solution, but it sounds like you're already making the best of the situation by having it in git for example. I think the only actionable advice might be, get into the habit of reloading the file every time you want to edit it, just to make sure you're on the latest version (assuming syncthing is running reliably in the background and the on-disk data is already up to date with the edit from A in step 3 of your example).

How do you run wired earbuds from your PC across your desk and into your ear without them constantly getting in the way? Or where do you put the other one if you're using only one?

I have wireless earbuds but they're a hassle to switch between my phone and PC, and keep charged, I'd rather just have something that's always there and always reliable

>>106735648
With wired headphones, the cable is generally heavy enough that it just goes down under the desk without getting in the way. If your earbuds are of decent quality and have a replaceable cable, just buy a thicker cable that won't float everywhere.

>wireless
How old are yours? Nowadays almost every TWS will have double connection so you can connect them to both the phone and PC at the same time, and they will play whichever one is playing sound at a given time (I've never tested what happens if stuff is playing on both but it's never come up for me since I usually use either one or the other). It's also normal for them to last like 8+ hours on one charge and have cases that recharge them 3+ times, and you can get a case with wireless charging so you can plop it down on a pad on your desk and keep always topped up.
Not saying it's perfect, but consider whether it might be good enough to not be that much of a hassle.

Stupidest question yet. How do you transfer browser bookmarks from a mobile phone to a PC?

>>106736504
You will need to find a way to export them from the phone, somewhere in the browser options/settings. All desktop browsers support it but I'm not sure if mobile ones do.
There's also the option of using official sync, i.e. making a google or mozilla account and linking your phone and mobile browsers. You can then unlink it after it syncs your bookmarks and stuff, but you still need to agree to their T&Cs and jump through hoops to get the account in the first place.

what do you retards think of elliptic curve cryptography? is Ed25519 safe and effective? i need something with implementations in both web crypto and openssl

>>106737491
It's as safe as anyone knows. Some curves were chosen by the NSA and some are open standards from independent researchers, I forgot which ones, look it up.
There's tons of mathematicians studying it so if there was a real weakness, it seems pretty unlikely that some government workers would have found it while no top cryptographers in elite universities anywhere have uncovered it. In any case I think it's no more dangerous than the other shit we have, such as RSA.

>>106737587
https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/ seems to think Ed25519 is safe
i know other curves, namely by NIST, have unjustified constants
can i trust (((Daniel J. Bernstein)))?

>>106736843
I don't really think you can do anything useful with OpenSCAD aside from maybe making a few trinkets or parts with simple geometry. You'll have to bite the bullet and use cracked SolidWorks(risky), SketchUp, BRL-CAD, your own homebrewed CAD software, cuckshit browser CAD, FreeCAD or F360 if you want to make something with more complex geometry for no cost. Aside from that, your other options are paid CAD programs like AutoCAD, Creo, OnShape or Catia. Pick your poison. If you really want a happy medium, I'd say you should just take BRL-CAD and modify it by updating the 3D framework and adding more tools and features for animation and FEM.

>>106737627
That page is neat but it seems concerned with security from observable parameters (i.e. practical security of implementations based on curve simplicity) rather than rating the provenance of the parameters and how likely they are to have a backdoor.

The thing is ultimately you also have to remember that even if the NSA knows some secret weakness in ECC that nobody else can detect, they're not gonna blow it on some literally who's little project. Unless you're planning on doing some shit that will directly piss off giant governments more than anything else using this crypto, you'll be safe in practice.
For example, consider that Monero uses ed25519, and governments everywhere have been trying to track or crack it with so far zero evidence of success. There's a small variety of theoretical attacks based on DoS of the network to probabilistically reduce the anonymity set, and thus probabilistically try to trace real spends; and some people have gotten busted through shitty opsec (like transfering a non-round amount from an exchange and then immediately transferring the exact same very precise amount to another exchange, making the link extremely obvious), but there is zero evidence of any attack on the actual keys in it.

So unless your project is going to piss off governments more than Monero does (like enabling virtually all darknet trade, being completely untaxable, and enabling secure cashouts from ransomware or any other hacks), you're very likely safe.

Sounds good, have fun anon
Remember that the old adage applies not to roll your own crypto, make sure to strongly consider using existing libraries whenever possible - there's so many way you can fuck up a cryptographic protocol. For example if you're writing a messenger, IMO using something like Signal's open source libraries would almost certainly be much better than assembling your own, unless you spend a very long time researching all the possible attacks and have a good reason to believe your approach will be better. If you're doing something for which there's no direct existing implementation so you have to design the protocol yourself, make sure to do a LOT of research on the various possible attacks. There's a zillion ways in which you can use secure encryption but in a way where it's actually possible to bypass it or recover important information from it because of the way you implemented it.

>>106737884
Your sin is not having a lot of bookmarks, your sin is mobilefagging hard enough to accumulate this many bookmarks entirely on your mobile

Yep okay based. I meant in terms of the entire protocol you're implementing, not just signatures - shit like key management, what exactly you're signing (is it some data that's hashed? concatenated from multiple datapoints, if so how? etc.), and so on.
It's easy to sign something securely, but presumably you want to accomplish something using those signatures. Unless it's really something as simple as authenticated messages in which case it's probably relatively straightforward

you need to talk to autists on here or IRC - specifically on IRC half the people will have 20+ more years of experience than you
nicotine is good for locking in, so take snus too
start here: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-c-manual/gnu-c-manual.html
and do advent of code with us this year (starting dec 1st) - there will be threads here up to a week before

* that is, it's not about "making time"; it's about using your time properly

religion is myth

>>106739156
the hard problem of consciousness is not a myth thoughalbeit
religion does not presuppose consciousness is an easy problem, unlike materialism

>>106719831
I tried that too and I have even less supported for hadrware decoding lol
when I try installing the codec pack I get so many options I have to select about things I don't know and shit it presumably doesn't need to know (why does it want my preferred video player and recommend me their own regardless??), is there something like this but simpler with less bullshit?

>>106739224
i never presupposed consciousness is easy
it's you who presupposes it's immaterial, astral, or the second substance of you cultists' moronic dualist philosophy: "soul"

>>106739375
if it's not amenable to reductive enquiry, i.e. an easy problem, then there is no material explanation
but yes, the best word to describe an immaterial consciousness is "soul"

>if i don't understand it, it's magic
this is /g/. we know complex systems can emerge from simple moving parts. look at evolution. look at cellular automata. look at neural networks. look at how mathematics can emerge from logic, set theory, and axioms.

If you've never done any programming whatsoever but wanted to dip your toes into some low level stuff, what would be the best assembly language to study? x86, ARM, PPC?

Maybe wrong thread but let me try my luck here. I have access to an unfathomably old machine with Ubuntu 23.10 on it that hasn't been updated in ages. How do you upgrade and update on this distro?

>>106739156
This. However there's only one ancient collections of texts which says the future human golden age of peace and safety ruled by a giga chad world leader is evil. Why is that?
>>106738813
You read three pages, or five if you're High Church, every day.
>>106739416
Worrisome development but many say evolutionary biologists stop trusting the theory of evolution.

>>106739499
Start it up, check for updates, wait a few minutes, it should tell you that a new Ubuntu release is available and offer to upgrade.
You'll end up on the 24.04 LTS, which you can keep running for another 3.5 years.

>>106739416
if it can be explained as a logical consequence of lower-level facts, then it is amenable to reductive enquiry and thus an easy problem
tell me how computation (e.g. neural processing) can produce the soul-like phenomena of consciousness
note anything computable can be done with pen and paper (or a turing machine), and so certain lines of ink should produce consciousness
if you don't think consciousness is a computation, then you're appealing to unknown physics, and who might implement those physics presupposing life in the universe? :)

>>106739531
I tried that, and it didn't work.

>>106739550
>explain everything about everything right now or that means god did it
no

>>106739611
Maybe the upgrade notification was dismissed and disabled at some point.
Run `sudo do-release-upgrade` in the terminal.
If that doesn't work, you may need to switch to the old-releases archive first.

>i can't justify why i believe consciousness is an easy problem
>i can only point to known easy problems i don't understand either
i accept your concession
i'm sure we'll have the same discussion in 5 years

>>106739796
i never said it's easy
can you even read
i said just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you attribute it to God
>>106739550
>if you don't think consciousness is a computation, then you're appealing to unknown physics
we don't even know physics is reducible to a Turing machine, you fool. physics isn't solved and Turing machines can't handle quantum systems
>>106739550
>who might implement those physics
are you saying everything is a simulation and God is the dev? wtf are you talking about

>>106738065
There always were, since at least 2006.

>>106739963
>i never said it's easy
if it's not an easy problem, then it's a hard problem and there is no material explanation
>physics
if it's not a computation, then it's unknown physics
a turing machine can compute anything computable, and so can you with pen and paper
if you agree pen and paper cannot produce the soul-like phenomena of consciousness, then it's unknown physics
>simulation
i'm saying if consciousness is the product of unknown physics, then that implies a creator who anticipated life in the universe, i.e. God

How do I get into containerized development? I've only heard of docker and podman in passing, know conceptually what they do but I never used them. I need to start deploying my images to an HPC.

I'm a cheap piece of shit and i want to get a new processor, what's something cheap that won't give me trouble in the foreseeable future?

>>106740366
i5 12400

>>106740409
Atom N100 with a fan

>>106740366
what trouble are you having with your current processor?

>self-diagnosed bad cpu
we both know what the problem actually is

>>106740537
I have an i3 7100 that i got since it came out, it's showing it's age very badly

>return faulty PC component, because warranty
>get a faultier PC component
>return faultier PC component
>return a working PC component, but only for 6 months, just enough for the original's warranty to expire

How is this legal?

Is my pc possesed? Why is the screen like that?

>>106740877
are you using a vga cable?
looks like its missing the red and green channels

>>106740877
if you unplug the input and turn it off and on again, is there corruption or discoloration on the boot logo? if so, it's an issur with the monitor. otherwise, it's almost certainly a damaged port or cable, or misconfigured cable setup
try a different cable or simplify the setup if using multiple cables

>>106740892
No, I'm using DVI cable from my graphics card to my monitor.
>>106740994
Might just be monitor since it's 18 years old, pressing the buttons on it does nothing.
