when did this change to this? I remember it being a rentry link to MAS or something

It changed after people kept asking for programs that are already on that page.

I use OBS to record gameplay footage. About half the time I record something the footage comes out choppy with a ton of doubled or tripled frames, but the other half of the time, the footage comes out perfectly fine, playing back at a clean 60 fps.
I close all of the other programs I have up except for OBS and my game.
ryzen 7 770X processor, RX 9070 GPU, 32 GB memory.
recording to hybrid MP4, HEVC encoder, 15 Mbps bitrate, 60fps, 1920x1080.
I've tried 8 mbps bitrate, I've tried H264 encoder, I've tried a lower resolution (which I really shouldn't have to), and it still comes out choppy. I've even tried two different OSes and it's the same. What's the deal?

>>108065466
On the topic of OBS, does it start beeping in one ear for anyone else when you record with headphones on? Kind of annoying, not sure if its a bug on an older version or some feature that was turned on years ago.

>>108065911
when you say "with headphones on," does that mean you've tried with other devices and it didn't make the same sound? I'd test that

>>108065942
Only used one and the same pair of headphones for years so haven't tested that. I'll look into it. Was curious if its as simple as turning off the sound in the settings, since it might be a feature to let you know you're recording.

>>108065942
>>108065972
As a correction, the sound appears instantly when the program opens. Not just when pressing record.

Also been spammed with pop ups for ages that new updates are available.

How do you set a background image on xorg without external tools like feh? I've never bothered to try, so I don't know. I know xsetroot can set a bitmap pattern, but I don't know if it can set an entire background image.
I'm just curious since I've always just used feh.

What's the name of that technique that we used to make "approximations" of pictures using triangles? Does anyone remember?

Is there a trick to removing those plugs? Especially top right. I can’t really grab them with normal
pliers (too small) and they’re seated too god for tweezers.
And prying it apart with a small screwdriver also has quite a risk of fucking up the PCB.
What’s the secret trick?

>>108066410
Grab both wires, pull gently while shaking back and forth.

>>108066427
That I’d rather avoid. From my experience, this often ends with the wires getting ripped out of the plug, since they’re never properly attached to the plug.

my computer suddenly crashed and rebooted to bios, the ssd I think is not being recognized in the bios, is there anything else I can do or is it completely dead?

>>108066410
just grab it with your fingers firmly by the sides and pull by the plug gently but continuously while wiggling it left and right
if it's not letting go, put a bit more force into the wiggle rather than into the pull

if it's really not letting go, pull on each side of the plug alternatively while holding the other side as far as it was wiggled out so far

>>108066410
maybe use a small philips screwdriver to carefully pry the plugs from their ports

On my work computer, I copied a random date, something like 10/16/2023, and in chrome I typed "35 days since". Does the browser really read your clipboard like this?

i posted here before about my pc randomly restarting every 20-48 hours turns out the cause was waking up the pc using the keyboard since turning that off and instead using the power button to wake up the pc my pc stopped restarting any explanation for why this was happening? every person and even AI said it was the psu but it turned out it was the stupid fucking keyboard

Use SSDs for everything. All kinds of hardware die unexpectedly, and SSDs especially die in a read-only manner so you rarely lose data. Unless the controller dies, but the same thing can happen to an HDD.

Sure, if it was simply wiring stuff thru. But now you got analog to digital THING that also speaks USB. It measures resistance, converts that to ones and zeros and then transports that data over an USB protocol.

>>108067509
The sidewinder line doesn't use standard gameport signalling, common cheap adapters likely won't work with them. They used some trickery with the MIDI capabilities of the port on soundcards to get around the hard axis and button limits of a standard gameport.
I know of at least one adapter which properly supports them but i can't remember what it's called and it's bound to cost more than €10, and if that's "obscenely expensive" for you then you're probably fucked.

Key concept OSI network model. VPN provides a virtual layer 2 device which encompasses anything you would send over the internet, not just https.

If you're only using VPN to access publicly accessible networks, it's not really protecting anything. It's just obfuscating your real address. A lot of times people will use VPN to access a remote LAN or bridge two LANs over an internet tunnel, and in that case it's actually protecting something.

Really retarded question but does anyone have a good rec for a FOSS todo management app on phones that's not shit?
One particular feature I really want is the ability to quickly move tasks to/from a "maybe"/triage area into a "definitely to do" area, because I often end up adding a ton of entries to my todo.txt which are nice-to-haves and then I always end up with a half-empty todo list because those got deprioritised, and then I get lazy and don't finish even the stuff that would actually be useful since it's lost among the sea of stuff that'd be neat but not really necessary.
At the same time the stuff that'd be neat is still often worth noting down just in case I want to pick up one or two of those things or if I have time and motivation later.

Surely I'm not the only one with this usecase, yet I haven't seen anything on fdroid that would do anything like this. Some of them have super detailed priority systems or whatever but I don't want to reinvent this by fucking about with priority filters every time I want to add a task, or else I'll never get anything done anyway

Do you understand anon's picture? And why that star has "5 spikes"? A star with one less point would be 4 spikes. Is that still clear?
So the captcha shows you several images with collections of stars, each image has a mix of 4-spiked and 5-spiked stars. It's asking you to count how many stars in a given image have the required number of spikes.
>each time it tells me I'm wrong
I really haven't seen it with these captchas. Google's recaptcha was notorious for it, especially with its ambigous "select all squares containing some shit" that'd have a tiny corner of the shit and it'd randomly decide whether that square should count or not, but I don't think the 4chan devs are doing anything like intentionally failing correct captchas. Unless they have a really shitty shadowban system in place, perhaps.

The stars captcha is the most annoying and tricky one though so just take your time and carefully count the spikes on each star.
If you want, take a pic of your next captchas, and if it fails post here showing us which one you picked, and I'll tell you if you were actually wrong.

>I know, if I make the algorithm compatible with another big blockchain, I can convince a chunk of the existing miners to also mine my coin too!
Mining proof-of-work basically involves trying random values over and over until you get lucky, so there's no extra cost if there's actually also a second blockchain for which you could get lucky and find a valid value while searching for the first one's next block.

I don't really know much about Tari itself, but the point of merge mining is that it's free extra money for you (provided Tari coins have above-0 value), and it's an easy way to get a lot of miners quickly to secure their network for them rather than having to try to bootstrap from scratch. At the cost of them being locked into exactly following Monero's algorithm.

I'm not aware of an official standard canonical utility that lets you specifically set an image background and nothing else.
There's unofficial tools, the simplest one I know of is hsetroot. You can read https://github.com/himdel/hsetroot/blob/master/hsetroot.c to see how it does it. As far as I can tell it's a pretty manual process of loading an image as a pixel buffer and then calling into the X11 library to set the root window properties.

>>108066839
>hdds would atleast slow down or start crashing to indicate its dying
Not necessarily no, HDDs absolutely can and do die without warning. Sometimes you can salvage something, sometimes it's a mechanical spindle failure for example and then you can't do shit (unless you ship it to a cleanroom to have the platters physically transplanted but good luck lmao).

>>108067249
There's basically three cases
>common software that has well established FOSS solutions but also dozens of alternatives including many shitty proprietary ones
This is the most common situation for any kind of average utility program. Shit like email clients, small utilities, media viewers, etc.
Here, the reason anyone uses proprietary programs may just be because they are used to their freemium slop and don't know any better. Many normies just don't really know much about computers and will use the same thing that kinda sorta works for them without thinking about alternatives. This knowledge propagates by word of mouth between normies recommending garbage to each other, or by normies using the first google search result no matter how shit.
>niche software where the FOSS solution is the best one because a lot of FOSS autists are into the niche
Usually if proprietary software still exists here, it's because of random corporate vendor lock-in, and most people who aren't working at a job mandating some garbage will know about and use the FOSS option.
>niche software where most FOSS devs are not in fact autists in the niche
There are some areas where the FOSS software is genuinely worse than the proprietary one: fewer features, no industry standards compatibility, etc. A lot of Adobe products actually fall into this; I'm no artist but I've talked to some, and as far as I understand while Krita for example is perfectly serviceable for hobbyists, Photoshop is still objectively more featureful, powerful and easier to use.

Such is life.

Guys my AM5 PC is schizo, I posted in another thread but I cant fix it. Sometimes it has full performance and sometimes it doesn't when I boot it up.

Sometimes my PC runs at full speed on linux I get 400+ fps sometimes it runs 50-90 fps in the same game, same map in CS2.

I know its not a proton problem because vulkan on CS2 does it and proton on another game does it where it gets 150-200 less FPS vs the normal 300+ fps.

I also tested two distros both MX Linux X11 on XFCE and KDE bazzite on wayland, both lag the desktop while tabbed out of the games.

Also for some reason the GPU pins to 99% for some reason when its normal its 70-80%

Its a hardware problem I'm sure if its happening on two separate distros with the same problem. The IGPU I tried disabling it and nothing changed.

At this point in the bios I'm just constantly resetting it, switching one toggle and seeing if anythings changes.

I think it's more like, the "feature" of customising the root window is there, they just never built an official "wallpaper setter" standalone utility. The root window has a bunch of properties you can edit, it just so happens that "set its background to an image loaded from a PNG file" needs a wrapper utility to implement rather than being directly through an official end user binary.

>>108079450
I guess it's surprising to me because xsetroot already handles the arbitrary task of tiling a bitmap on the root window. It'd make sense to my eyes for it to be able to display a pixmap too. I'm not knowledgeable at all on x though.

Assumed you got a drive used by Windows and some other drive for anime and you are asking is the anime drive safe during the Linux installation: it's not totally safe, depending on your and the Linux installer's retardness you can accidentally mess it up. Assumed you have no problems identifying which drive is which and you only recreate the Windows drive to host Linux and for the time being leave the anime drive be, there's next to no risk. (add your anime under /mnt/anime after you got your Linux system up (no need to attempt everything during the installation process))

Kinda, in a way it's always going to be somewhat related because when you make a merge mineable coin, you're locking yourself into always following the tech of the "parent" coin, so it's at least related in that way, and you're also socially kind of tying yourself, your image and your marketing to the parent coin too - your miners are almost always going to be a subset of the parent coin's miners, you will always be known as "that coin merge-mined against X", etc.
But other than that yeah there are no particular requirements beyond that.

My experience with postgres was overall negative. I dont give a fuck about corpo paid benchmarks for specific usecases. My benchmark is my application and everything improved and became easier to maintain when i dropped postgres.

or
Would I achieve better/smoother quality if I torrent 720p and use 720p -> 1440p upscaling instead? (Apparently this one is supposed to work just fine natively but I'd still want upscaling settings to achieve better quality anyway).

unironically asking for a friend, screenshot not mine.

how do non english and especially non latin keyboards deal with keyboard input for anything but text entry? keybinds, controls in games, anything like that, is supposedly easier in windows because of all the higher level software ultimately using vkcodes. in linux theres scancodes which is the same thing, but I guess these arent used in the same way. do all japanese, russians, chinese, etc just fucking switch to en_us if they want to use linux? I am ashamed for not knowing about this.

computing has a lot of cultural artifacts from english, including really fundamental shit like words (any data stream) being left-to-right. unicode has always been an afterthought even today. programming languages all use english too obviously. so it could be down to that.
but yeah I am kind of disappointed I couldnt find a good workable solution or even be able to explain it reasonably. windows cant literally just be better here, I refuse to accept it.

what layer of OS or user space software design is responsible for low level key mapping like that? SDL? a graphical toolkit? can you maybe build all your software in linux with certain flags that fucking go down to scancodes instead of keycodes??

Pull a cable from the router to your desktop. Nothing beats a wired connection.

>>108086189
Shoot, I forgot to mention that getting Ethernet is pretty much outside of my control, short of having a conversation with my dad.

Good point about putting the devices in similar positions. I did stick my phone behind my PC in that wooden enclosed space and got similar numbers to my desktop, maybe worse. I also ran these tests with Ookla since Google's is now "experiencing high demand" and it's the same thing.

Maybe I should replace the antennas with a "tower" one. I put my phone where that would go and got at least 100 on Ookla.

if it doesn't spin up, either cover pin 3 (or all of the first 3) on the hdd, or remove/cut the 3.3v power wire coming from the psu (typically orange), or use an adapter that doesn't include a 3.3v wire

it's not something you need to make up a backup for. the 3.3v power disable feature is just a simple "if power is supplied on pin 3, don't turn on" feature. there's no risk of damage or power loss if it doesn't turn on

no worries. also worth noting that blocking pin 3 (or any of the first 3 pins) even on a drive without this feature will also do nothing, as the first 3 pins were always reserved for future use (one such formerly-future use is the power disable feature on pin 3 in question)

>Don't. 4KB is fine.
there might be a reason to do it, though i'm not familiar with wii/wbfs filesystems (i have used a softmodded wii before, but not in a long time so i don't remember any specifics like this)

>>108092871
The softmod method my dad used on our Wii requires 32 kb cluster size on a connected external hard drive. That's all I know. I'm just going to move everything off and reformat it.

Longer story: My dad softmodded our Wii many years ago and loaded a ton of wbfs onto an external. We stopped using the Wii and I formatted the external so it could be used for something else. I believe I just copied everything off and back on again but I'm not sure. Anyway my dad wants to play all the games still saved on the external and neither us really remember how it was setup.

>>108092997
i'm by no means up to date on wii softmodding, i haven't owned one since i moved in 2011. perhaps /vr/ would be a better place to ask. all i can say is that you can't change the cluster size of a filesystem without formatting it. in theory such a tool could possibly be made, which would require re-writing probably all of the filesystem's metadata and also moving/padding many files. i doubt anybody has made such a tool as in practically all cases cluster size is chosen based on volume size, which while they are sometimes cloned to larger discs, usually not to the point of needing a larger cluster size. fat32 is a bit of an exception as it was designed for what would be called very small drives today, being a filesystem from 1996 as a fairly minor update of a much older filesystem which was always meant to be simple. any drive over 32G needs to use 32k clusters, which is almost any drive today.

if you formatted the drive for non-wii use, did you format it as NTFS? i doubt wii homebrew supports NTFS so i figure you probably mean fat32 with 32k clusters, which is required to support drives over 32G in size. also note that there's no way to convert ntfs to fat32, so even if you could change cluster size, 32k ntfs won't help you

Without making an account preferably but if I have to make an account I don't want to have to verify it in some way (phone or other email) before being able to send or receive mail.

Don't suggest Protonmail, it's trash now (you need to verify yourself with a phone before being able to receive mail).

>>108093561
you can just send mail from your computer directly, though chances are it won't get through any spam filters if you do that
it's also why it's unlikely you'll find a free anonymous no-questions-asked service like you're asking that itself has a good enough reputation not to be filtered also. email is so heavily abused these days that you need to be a very good boy server to have your mail accepted by major email providers

My cheap-ass AORUS laptop from 2022 finally developed screen issues that required me to remove the assembly, and of course I cracked the LCD in the process. The internals of base are fine AFAICT, and I'm currently running it with a USB monitor. This is only a temporary solution, though, as I manage visual art projects with this machine and apparently I can't do any meaningful color calibration. Not sure where to go from here. It's got a mobile rtx3060 and I don't really need anything more than that, but if I'm replacing this thing I'd like to at least have a full keyboard. It feels like a massive waste if I have to replace it though. I also have zero intention of running Windows 11, so I either have to figure out how to make this work or else find something that works well with Linux (which sucks because I like nvidia's features especially with Blender). Any help would be really appreciated.

Your problem with them seems to be more their identity than what they may take away from other initiatives, and using the alleged specter of the latter merely to justify your instinct rather than reaching such a conclusion purely by reason. So, I'm forced to be a reactionary contrarian to your reactionary contrarianism.

>>108095705
Because building web browsers is very capital intensive, both human and financial, and that's by design. Until Mozilla gets so bad that they functionally impede Firefox or they piss off so many devs at once that they all jump ship, they remain the de facto leader. The end.

So is firefox.
Also can't tor browser work without tor? If it can, why not use that instead?

>>108095810
Mullvad is an American empire intelligence cutout. They're absolutely harvesting your data, but they're not likely to sell it. They're not very useful as a VPN either because no port forwarding kills p2p and their exit nodes are too well known.

Mullvad is a Swedish VPN with one of the guys that made ThePiratebay, they made an agreement with Tor Project to release a version of the Tor Browser for regular VPN (not using the Tor network). It can be used with an VPN, not just Mullvad, and you can also use it without a VPN like I do.

i just run my own mail server. a lot of spam is detected not by the content of the mail but just by how it's delivered, basic sanity checks like if the incoming mail "from" address matches the PTR record for the IP (i.e. if the IP it came from has that domain associated with it), if it's got a valid A record, MX record too if you care if that server can also potentially receive mail (a mail server that can't be replied to is pretty suspect), etc.
email fundamentally is a very simple protocol, you can open up telnet to a mail server and type up an email by hand quite easily from any computer connected to the internet, but without even a valid domain you're almost certain to be rejected. it's this simplicity that makes spam filters so strict, too many bro-- bad actors on the internet to possibly treat it like they did in the '80s
