Is there a website that lets me search/compare single-board computers by features?I only found https://sbc.compare/ but that seems more focused on benchmarks, and has a very limited selection of SBCs.Specifically, I'm looking for something with SATA slots/ports to replace my ODROID-HC4
I booted up my old PC after a long time and right after I pressed the power button there was a loud pop + sparks and a bit of smoke coming from the motherboard (I had the case open) BUT -- get this -- the PC just booted as normal and continued to run without issues LOL! My guess is some capacitor burst although after a careful visual inspection I couln't identify any burn marks or physical damage. So WTF was that all about lol, I'm confused.
Hello /g/, retard here. I want to make a /mu/ webm with a still image and an mp3 playing. Do I have to use ffmpeg to make such a thing and do I have to convert the mp3 into opus? also I tried using an ffmpeg line to use but it doesn't work and said it couldn't load the cover.>ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image.png -i audio.mp3 -map 0 -map 1:a -c:v libvpx-vp9 -vf format=yuv420p -c:a libopus -shortest output.webmAlso can I change -i image.png to .jpg and it will still locate the file? is there a specific place I need to put these files for ffmpeg to locate them?
>>107133324Probably the PSU, not the motherboard.Open it up and do a visual inspection. Be careful if you poke with the screwdriver, the capacitors may still be charged and it would sting like a bitch.
>>107133324Check where it is on the board, could be a less important capacitor such as if it's audio related.But other capacitors on the board are probably bulging too
>>107133324>PC just booted as normaldon't worry about it
>>107133324maybe spray it with compressed air maybe if it does same when clean its better to replace whole computer / selected parts
>>107133333>is there a specific place I need to put these files for ffmpeg to locate them?yes, it looks like that's your issue. Either put your image and audio in a folder together and launch your command line from there (shift+rightclick -> open powershell window here on Windows), or use absolute paths (e.g. C:\Users\Anon\Path\To\image.png) in the command.>Also can I change -i image.png to .jpg and it will still locate the file?Not sure I understand this question. Just make sure the command matches the filename on your disk (including extension). FFmpeg will be able to detect whether it's an image, audio, or whatever else, and process it just fine.I don't think you need the -map flags, and I'd use VP8 for combability if the video is just a still image anyway. The command could look like this: ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image.png -i audio.mp3 -c:v libvpx -c:a libopus -shortest output.webmIf your output is over the filesize limit on /mu/ (idk how much that is),you'll have to decrease your audio bitrate. I find ChatGPT (or it's alternatives) pretty helpful for generating or tuning ffmpeg commands.
>>107133656Thanks a lot for the help, anon. I hadn't put them in the same folder and your new command line worked.
>>107133375100% not the PSU, I saw the spark coming out of the center of motherboard, near the CPU>>107133383I looked but there's hardly 2 or 3 capacitors that have very slight bulging on top.>>107133501It's an old PC that ran dusty for years without problems except for the PSU which I replaced a couple years ago. But I did use a vacuum cleaner on it from time to time, careful not to touch anything.I don't really care about it >>107133386 but I'm very intrigued that it still works as normal, I guess the MB is built with redudancy in mind and one capacitor going sparkly is no biggie.
>>107134027you can never say it's 100% not the psuprobably a bad poly cap though
what are some handy dandy tech things you'd recommend? (it's for this black friday and I know they might raise prices and scam, that's beside the point)I like picrel for cable managementI have one of those mug warmers, it's just a heat plate but temps don't get too highI recommend expensive and good cables from a trusted brand (I like ugreen but there other good ones as well) instead of cheap ones that break after 5 useswireless stuff is a must in 2025, there's no need for wires anymore
>>107134477ugreen and anker are the standard cable/charger brands, but I've also used iniu stuff which I hadn't heard of a few years ago but it seems pretty good as well>handy dandy techsIf you don't know that you need something then you don't need it. There's no point in trying to invent something to buy just because there's a consoomer event
I'm looking for a website to sell old I.T. hardware. I'm on FB marketplace but hardly any hits. I have an averse to eBay, but will use it if told its good. Latest example of stuff I have is several Low Profile MiMo Cellular Antenna (bpam-bc3g-26-3sp). is there a site better suited and focused on this type of stuff to sell?

What's the best position for your monitor to prevent slouching?There's all these ergonomic recommendations I see online but, I feel like this is mainly in regards to office work and doesn't account for how fucking huge gaming monitors get
>slouching?
I really really need to start working on .NET shit, but I usually only learn from doing projects on my own time, but every time I look into personal .NET use, it looks like giga aids.I'm on Fedora, what's the minimal binary way to get working LSP and debugging without vscode aids? at work I have Visual Studio 2022, so I don't give a fuck on Windows.also it's telling that Rust is probably one of the easiest languages to get started working in than anything I've used since nodejs and npm.
I bought a flash drive online. Before I plug it into my PC, I want to completely wipe it so I don't have some spyware or cryptoware installed on my PC. What's the best way to go about it, from an OPSEC viewpoint?
>>107135952>What's the best way to go about it, from an OPSEC viewpoint?Burner PCYou don't have to be afraid of preloaded software though, we're past the age of auto-executing stuff from removable storage.The potentially scary thing are devices that electrically fuck with your USB (or other) ports.
>>107135717I would use the community Rider version before doing it manually. C# development is pretty dependent on it's tooling to work on after all
>>107135952Stop buying sketchy flash drives from thirdies who wanna give you AIDS. Not all USB controllers have working host memory isolation.
>>107135952Get an airlocked PC. I use a laptop. This way if something is fucked only your airlocked PC gets affected and nothing else in your network. Then delete all the files if there is some, then do a safe reformat of the USB. I use Linux so I can easily see all the files and hidden files in the USB, I don't think Windows can do that unless you use some software.Once it's clean then it's safe. As an added measure I nuke my Linux install and reinstall it, just to make sure if anything was infected without me knowing then it's deleted.If that's too much work for you then don't just don't buy USBs from untrusted sellers.
>>107136283>>107136198I bought it from the official store, but I guess I've read too many MITM horror stories. I was planning on formatting it via live Tails, but you can't get around firmware attack
>>107136139>The potentially scary thing are devices that electrically fuck with your USB (or other) ports.got any examples there, anon?
>>107136413I meant stuff that shorts or overvolts the host
>>107136473Are you retarded? If SanDisk were disguising their USB for this shit they would get sued. Why in the fuck do you think USBs from reputable sellers are like those? Have you even seen one?
>>107136620he probably meant flash drives bought from third parties that can be tampered with
>>107136837He just said he bought it from an official store.
>>107134611Yes, I need it you double nigger monkey retard.
>>107137015Ok if you know that you need it then buy it, why are you asking for suggestions then
Why did 4chan threads used to be called res?
Why do some files that I never downloaded have progressed up to 100%? I double checked and they're nowhere on my drive, what does it mean?
