using mullvad desktop client on windows with qbittorrent works perfectly fine, but when i spin up gluetun and qbittorrent/deluge on my truenas as containers it doesnt properly connect to seeders it seems and errors out so whats the difference? im retarded but have confirmed the vpn connection to be working, pinging stuff and checking the public facing ip it is the vpn. asking the dumb ai it keeps telling me to forward ports which isnt possible with mullvad anymore it seems so do i have to switch?

Do this from within a container, not from the host.
>>

yeah i did it from inside the qbittorrent and gluetun container. both showed the vpn ip when using curl/wget on test sites, ipleak.net with its torrenting test also showed the vpn ip thats why i have no idea what im doing wrong.

recently installed debian 13 with KDE on my computer and after some tinkering I managed to sucessfully install nvidia drivers. I usually use brave as my default browser, but I struggle to get it to work properly. It seems that wayland and Brave really does not want to work with hardware acceleration. Is there anyone that has solved this? Do I have to use Xorg, or Xwayland Brave? Or should I just switch browser? Idealy I want to use Brave with Wayland

>friend gave me his old computer

What can I do with this machine? I thought of:
>learning device for children (family/friends), i.e. how is a PC build, how to install an OS etc.
but this is very unlikely since most children are not interested in this stuff anyway
>homelab since it got 4 SATA connections on the mainboard
but this should not be power-friendly since a tower PC takes way to much energy even if it runs on idel most of the time

so, what do?
>>
>>107003771
Not much. Like you said it's going to be very power inefficient, so a $100 minipc or even a $50 raspberry pi will completely outclass it in performance while consuming a fraction of the power. There are things you can use a very underpowered server for, but this means it's not going to be worth it unless you really don't care about electricity consumption.

Learning device might just be the best remaining use for it. It's basically e-waste, so you can disassemble it to your heart's content. Maybe there's some crazy electronics project you could do if you really wanted to but considering you're asking here you probably don't have either the ideas nor the skills/equipment to do shit like that.
If nobody (not even yourself) is interested in disassembling and reassembling it then you can just treat it like the e-waste that it is. Not every electronic device is worth using forever.
>>
>>107004299
>checked
Yeah, so I just made up my mind. It's going to be a learning device. I just downloaded and burned 3 DVDs of Windows XP, Vista and 7 and ultimately hoard it for a time of need and learn. Probably also burn an Ubuntu, Mint and Debian DVD as well while I'm on it. Or do the Linux Distros not so good since this PC won't have any internet connection?

So the stupid questions tread is just to call people retard and not answer any questions?

I'm not doing a script to delete Twitter posts, I don't know how, why the fuck don't you pint people towards one took that must exist?

There is no fucking way a tool for deleting Twitter posts in bulk doesn't exist.
>>
>>107004830
Yes, which is why you use your phone and not a clean slate browser configuration. They're known to be more lenient about that stuff when you register from a phone, a real one preferably.
After that you can login wherever you want, I have 3 other profiles with no picture activity and random names and they never get flagged.
Just understand that they'll inevitably know a bit about you but I think that's pretty acceptable. Just don't allow the app to access any of your shit like contacts or folders.
>>
>>107004883
>Just don't allow the app to access any of your shit like contacts or folders.
oh, you meant to create it through the app on your phone, then sign in elsewhere, gotcha.
im probably a bit nervous over nothing. a buddy tried to make a real account for himself and got it deleted 5 times in a row because he wasnt using a smartphone, so i assumed the worst.
im just tired of CL being completely dead.

Why are you insulting me?
I only asked for a tool to delete Twitter posts.
There are already many tools for popular and non-popular media like discord, there is no way something for Twitter doesn't exist, it's the most popular social media page.
>>
>>107005080
>Why are you insulting me?
You shouldn't have ever used twitter to begin with. And why would you prefer to delete all your posts over just deleting the account? There are stupid questions and dumb nigger questions, yours would be the latter.
>There are already many tools for popular and non-popular media
Because it's technically against the twitter ToS (don't ask me why), you'd have to use their API which is paid, which is why most services require payment too. If you don't want to use the API you'd have to paste a script in your console that walks through the page (i imagine your profile) then manually click delete on all of them.
I've searched and in 1 second I've found two scripts that do what you want but I don't have an account to check whether it works or not.
https://chrissmith.xyz/blog/2024/bulk-deleting-tweets/
https://github.com/Lyfhael/DeleteTweets
Which means you either are so fucking retarded to not find it or you didn't even bother to search, which puts you in the ultra retarded faggot who didnt even search before treating this thread as a glorified google category.
So, since you're clearly a fucking piece of shit who doesn't even bother searching before wasting people's times with your faggot twitter shit, just use a known (potentially paid) service like the redact.dev one I just linked and shut the fuck up.

I would test that it boots with newer *NIXs before putting it away, it probably will, but you have only one way to find out
If they for whatever reason don't boot you may need to use puppy linux/similar

Generally if you have a DE it will install fine without internet
Getting more applications than you are given might be annoying though

If internet connection isn't a concern gentoo WILL work if you can handle it (tried installing it offline and was filtered)
>>
>>107003771
>>107005709 (me)
If it is 32 bit newer *NIXs probably won't work
You would need a 32 bit iso

Also cloning the disk (probably with ddrescue and a few retries for bad blocks) would be a good idea as it probably has drivers that will be useful.

Do DDoS attacks usually target every page on a site?
Got a small site that's getting hammered hard, and days after I block one source another one will pop up, so it looks like a targeted attack but they're also systematically going through every link/page (it's a wiki so you can go through innumerable combinations of history diffs) so it also looks like it could be an AI training bot.

So with veracrypt you can create an encrypted hidden partition.
I get that it gets encrypted but people can still check if you have veracrypt installed right?

What's the point of making a hidden file as a key if they can just see veracrypt as a program?
Or can you also make veracrypt hidden?

you need to monitor the GPU usage directly. are these games actually maxing your GPU?

stellar blade at 120fps = 75C / 80% usage
Fans go ape shit
dishonored 2 = 78C / 76% usage

Just two examples
These games aren't hitting anywhere near 100% usage

I don't think that's possible besides encrypting the drive and then physically removing and hiding the drive somewhere away from your PC.

No matter what if someone tries to access that drive, it'll give some sort of prompt that it's either inaccessible or encrypted.
>>
>>107007093
Can I use programs inside that encryption?
That encrypted partition works normally while mounted? Is it slower? Can I use repositories with venv and it works?
>>
>>107007084
I'm guessing your cooler has no metal and they preemptively spin the fan up to keep the GPU from throttling. Only way to find out is play with custom fan curves. Usage stats are bullshit too though. Average power may be better representative.
>>
>>107007241
I'm guessing Afterburner is still the best option to work around the fan curves?

Just installed 4chan XT on Firefox after X stopped working. 50% of the time, the Captcha won’t load. The other 50%, it takes about 30-40 seconds to load. When I try to post, it greys out for another 30 seconds and then says upload failed. Any ideas? I went through the settings and everything seems fine.

Funny enough, I can post using 4chan X with Chrome on my phone.
>>
>>107007200
You can only run things on the drive when it's decrypted. So you would need to mount and decrypt everytime you want to run whatever it is you need. If it's a program that needs to run before decryption, it won't work.

Once decrypted, the drive works as a normal drive. You can definitely use repos with venv.

Slowdowns are noticeable on older drives especially. Newer ones still some slowdown but not as bad as HDD's

How do I get Firefox to use the full 'Micah' effect (bottom pic) without having to use the Sidebar/Vertical Tabs?
Without sidebar it has a lighter more washed out color (top pic) for 0 reason and changing shit in about:config does nothing nor is there a proper CSS for it.

Well Hawking and Penrose for a start. Einstein's theory also presumes it, although he didn't state that verbatim the theory doesn't work without it because time would have to exist independently of space-time. Plus anybody who scribes to these theories, ie almost all modern physicists.

Even after using afterburner to set my fan curves, it seems the GPU has software embedded that ramps up the fans no matter what I do.
