I have a telecom job (call centre drone) and need to tell the employer how well I can troubleshoot and work with computers
Considering that today I: installed windows 11 pro and updated the driver for my GPU, after it was stuck in low resolution; cleaned my hard drives after a botched clean in Windows 10, then use the prompt "clean disk" (after they were not able to install linux mint or pop! os) through the command prompt, then salvaged my new hard drive (which was booted with windows 11 pro iso image file) through disk management settings... what would you rate my technology skills? Be honest, I don't mind if it's low, but I want to learn how to get good so I can maintain this job. I hope that I can learn to code or work out IT issues, eventually.

>>108613394
I'd say maybe 2 or 3 out of 10? The things you listed, I can think of normies who wouldn't have any idea where to start if you asked them to do that but in the grand scheme of things, it's all very basic

>>108613394
it's more than the average person, but not more than an interested 12 year old.
it depends on the job requirements, if no specific knowledge was requested then i'd say the requirements are quite low and if you can "google" shit well enough you can probably handle it

Just want to ask how I can bypass this faggot shit to verify my fucking email. Maybe I'm just being retarded right now because I have no sleep but 99% of the time I have no fucking clue what the answer is. I just want to get a fucking email verification. I've done this several times now and twice got the email, but after you get the damned email you have to do the same captcha shit again, and I keep running my chances out till it fucking expires. That's the kind of shit that makes you want to kill someone. I now have to wait 43 minutes before I can do it again.

>>108613572
have you tried being human?

>>108613394
Yeah like the other anon said, more than an average person. Lots of normies treat computers like literal magic and their brain shuts down when something doesn't work. What you did is all pretty basic and simple but it does put you above the average normalfag in that sense.

However my question to you is, how much of that did you figure out on the fly (by googling, trying things, etc.) vs. how much of this would you consider an actual "skill" that you had learned previously and already knew how to do? In my opinion, in your position the greatest skill you might demonstrate and develop is the ability to learn and figure out things quickly. If you had never used disk management before or never did "clean disk" and figured it out on the fly, it probably means next time you have some unfamiliar situation you'll also be able to figure it out. But if you just happened to know how disk management works and how to do this exact shit, then it doesn't speak anything about your ability to adapt, only about your specific knowledge here and like the other anons said it's pretty shallow.

watch a free video series for comptia a+ or similar. some of the info is questionable or worthless, like nobody's going to expect or need you to remember port numbers unless you're working with them on a regular basis (it takes five seconds to look them up and if you work with them frequently you'll start to remember them very quickly), but it's at least a somewhat standard "basic it knowledge" that lets employers know what to expect. plus the videos at least are free and the cert is useful if you get laid off or something.

check with your employer too, some employers will pay for you to get certs. some even offer incentives. if you want to advance in IT, certs are also a good starting point.

>>108616845

It's probably the best way to use google anything. They will try to fingerprint you as much as possible, but Tor Browser is built to be as fingerprinting-resistant as possible, so ideally they will only see "some tor user is connecting" and nothing any more interesting.
The only issue is that I bet you need to enable javascript to use it, and there's no guarantee that the Tor Browser is 100% perfect at preventing fingerprinting. They might possibly be able to gather some data, because javascript is incredibly powerful and browsers have five trillion APIs that can be used by javascript to gather datapoints and Tor Browser is only made by humans.

Also I'm not sure if it will even work, everyone blocks the fuck out of Tor nowadays.

places like gumroad have a cool thing where you can set something you're selling to have a default/suggested amount you can pay, but is also something the user can freely change to being free (e.g. a text box that has a default price of $10, but is editable to $0).

is it possible to do something like this with crypto? is it just simple html or is there anything more to this? a guide on setting up crypto for personal websites would also be appreciated.

>>108617560
Your question sounds a bit like
>Sometimes I see people in the market discussing the goods with the seller. Sometimes they haddle the price up or down, sometimes they discuss the weather. Is it possible to do this with a cheque?
Unless I misunderstood it, in which case please do clarify.

Otherwise: the textbox is defined entirely by the website and has literally zero relation to payment methods. You can make the website do, show or display absolutely whatever you want.
Then when the actual sale happens, the payment mechanism is invoked using some value and that's how the payment is coordinated.

>setting up crypto for personal websites
Do you know how crypto wallets work? The gist of setting up crypto payments is you publish your address and people can send crypto to it. If you're actually selling stuff, then you need some infrastructure to tie together payements you see in the blockchain vs. orders that just happened, usually by generating a unique address for every order (or on some blockchains, by adding some information to the transaction), and then validate that the user sent enough and then mark it as "paid" and proceed with the sale accordingly, you can also have systems for refunding if the customer overpays etc. It's not very complicated if you know how blockchains work, it just takes a bit of work if you want it to be 100% automated for e.g. an online store. If you don't need to automate it then it just works and you don't need to do anything.

If you don't know how crypto wallets or the blockchain work, then you should definitely read into the basics of that before trying to use it.

well say you want to buy a 4chan pass, the price is preset and can't be changed. what i'm talking about is something like pic rel, where the amount is preset at 0, but the user can change it if they want to. i only ever see this done on websites specifically made for purchases (previous example of 4chan links to another site) but what i want is to keep it all on my website and then to just send that off to my wallet.

>Otherwise: the textbox is defined entirely by the website and has literally zero relation to payment methods. You can make the website do, show or display absolutely whatever you want.
but i think this answers my question, i was just wondering if there were any security considerations that behind the scenes that i wasn't aware of

>Do you know how crypto wallets work?
not at all lol, i just want to have an alternative to regular payment processors now that everything's going to shit

>If you don't know how crypto wallets or the blockchain work, then you should definitely read into the basics of that before trying to use it.

>>108618192
>well say you want to buy a 4chan pass, the price is preset and can't be changed
Yeah that's pretty much just like my example of making small talk with a guy at the market
You discuss whatever you want, agree to whatever you want, and then once you've agreed on a deal you pay the merchant in your preferred way, whether that be cash, cheque, bank card, or bartering with oxen. Whether you discussed the weather beforehand or signed a notarised contract about the sale does not affect how the payment is actually made, it only affects what is agreed upon, and then payment is made according to that agreement. That's why I found your question strange.

>do you have know any good resources for this?
Unironically ask an LLM. "Explain to me the very basics of something I know nothing about" is something that's usually very annoying to piece together by reading wiki pages and documents elsewhere but an LLM can explain all the basics to you, as long as it's a reasonably established topic and not something hyper-niche. Modern LLMs actually hallucinate surprisingly little as long as the question is not too complicated.

I've noticed a new trend in the comments on Youtube videos, and it's pissing me off.
For example, a video about a specific movie or vidya, there will always be a comment now within the first ten or so with this kind of template:
>I had the privilege of working on this back in [year before release]. I was responsible for [semi-important role, unverifiable]. I got to work with [known person] and [known person], and I even met [famous person] on a few occasions. He was pretty chill, but always too busy for the likes of me. Still, I'm really proud of what we accomplished, and it's great to see [youtuber] talking about it.

if it's their laptop/desktop and your phone isn't set up to use dns over https/tls or some other form of dns encryption then they can probably snoop the domains you access (i.e. 4chan.org). browsers are increasingly doing encrypted dns by default but it's still not universal and most browsers support it being turned off by policy on corporate domains.

also if you have to install any sort of certificate on your phone to access their internet (pretty rare, you'd probably remember doing this), then yes, they can spy on anything you do.

Is it strange to clear your browser history regularly? I clear my browser history weekly, but it seems like every website wants you to leave everything as it is. Some websites even think I'm a bot just because I log out and clear my cookies.

>>108622496
not really. i know plenty of privacy-oriented people who do so. i don't because i'm less concerned with that topic and because convenience is a bigger priority for me, but it's not like it's rare or nonsensical. do what makes sense for you.

with that said, it might make more sense to use multiple browser profiles for different tasks and only clear history on the profile you do sensitive things with. but at the end of the day, just do what you want.

>>108622525
The funny thing is, I don't do it for privacy reasons. I only do it because I'm the kind of autisti who enjoys having a clean browser.

>>108622544
that's fine too. it'll probably be a bit less convenient but it's not something you need to worry about. maybe do the reverse of what i said, then; if there are sites that you find are repeatedly problematic, make a separate "dirty" profile specifically for them so that they're less annoying to deal with and don't pollute your main one.

Why can't a dynamic library be converted to a static library?

>>108623037
There is no such thing as a "static library" in itself. There are "static executables" which include all the libraries they use; sometimes people say "I'm including library X as a static library" but what this means is the library is going to be built into the executable.
By contrast dynamic libraries do exist standalone and executables "dynamically" link to them to use them. Therein is the difference between static and dynamic linking.

So if you have the source for a given executable, you can usually convert a dynamic library it uses into a static library FOR that executable, and recompile the executable. The result will still be a single executable, but now it won't link to the dynamic version of that library, because that library is built-in.

Are there such things as social media managers for individuals? At this point, social media has completely banned or blacklisted me. Every account I make gets zero attention, in many cases it gets shadowbanned without reason. My Meta socials all got banned and deleted, only reason given is suspected automated activity, I don't post on them. I attempt to register with a social media site, and it will ask to verify my identity and then promptly shadowban me again so no other people see my engagement.

How exactly are normalfags evading this great nerd filter and is it possible to just hire someone to do it on my behalf?

>>108623037
because not all the info you need to create a static lib exists in the dynamic lib (usually). it's not a bad time to learn about executable file formats and linkers.

What exactly are you trying to do? There are definitely social media managers for individuals, but it doesn't make sense unless you're trying to become some sort of "influencer". Also they will almost certainly tell you to pozz yourself completely by verifying your ID and everything to the max.
For 99.9% of normal people, who aren't "influencers" nor trying to become one, hiring a social media manager makes no sense because what's the point of having "reach"? If you do want to gather followers and become a social media personality then yeah you can hire a manager.

>What exactly are you trying to do?
I just want to be able to talk to people again someplace that isn't 4chan. I used to have a litany of social media, a faceberg (I don't miss it much, but I do miss having a marketplace account) a youtube channel, twitter, I used to be what most considered a normalfag.

I can't even register for most of these services, now. I register, and a day later I get banned for reasons I do not understand or are explained. Appeals 100% of the time result in "Denied, be a better person in the next life, permanent ban" automatic emails. I have never talked to a person behind these account services or what their reasoning is.

My biggest tell that I can find as to what is happening is that I do not have a device which allows any kind of telemetry and does not do data gathering of any kind. I use firefox nightly on my phone and use browserleaks to ensure my fingerprint is as generic as I can make it. I don't give anything other than my real name to these sites that require it, and if I can avoid it: I don't even give that. I try to avoid uploading pictures of myself. I attempt to be as private as I used to be ~10 years ago, and that's the only reason I can think of as to why these sites are shadowbanning or just banning me. But I know people much more paranoid than I am are browsing these sites, so how are they doing it? Why am I singled out?

>>108624266
>talk to people
Can't you do that while shadowbanned? I thought that just meant you wouldn't have "reach" and wouldn't be promoted algorithmically to additional followers.
Though if you get hard-banned then yeah it can be annoying.

Anyway most "people" talk on discord nowadays, I've never really seen people socialise on twitter or whatever, that site just exists for engagement baiting

>>108624276
>Can't you do that while shadowbanned? I thought that just meant you wouldn't have "reach" and wouldn't be promoted algorithmically to additional followers.

Depends on the site.
On X, yes. I can reply to people and they will probably see me but I'll be buried below hundreds of comments, if I reply directly to friends, I'll be the only one commenting so my comment won't be swept up.
On youtube, no. When I try to comment, this happens:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Dt4E5UQLOA0
This happens on multiple accounts, btw. Again no reason specified. It's related to this issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fByyl8BLXo
Which has been reported on for years. It's 50/50 if a comment posts, if it does post- I will never appear on a front page or not hidden from sight unless "All Comments" are enabled.
On other social media sites: Faceberg simply bans me, Instagram posts simply do not show up, frankly I don't care about these sites in general- Meta can go to hell. I just want to be able to talk to friends and be normal again.


>Anyway most "people" talk on discord nowadays, I've never really seen people socialise on twitter or whatever, that site just exists for engagement baiting
I actually do not know what social media sites normal people use now because I can't talk to them. I have several discord accounts, should I just use those?

>>108624359
and yes, as I type this I am aware this is probably related to my generic fingerprint browser making my virtually non-existent ass worthless for marketing and that may be the real reason they're banning me. Either ways I can't seem to get away from it and attempts to even verify with my own face has resulted in bans (likely because I'm the most generic white guy you can imagine and they probably think I'm AI generated)

So I will just reinstall the OS before I get too used to it.
Driver pack like this
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000122490/precision-7540-windows10-driver-pack
Should handle all drivers after reinstall, correct? Of course there is NET Framework stuff, but it's usually installed along with programs, so it should be fine or am I forgetting something?

Some times like twitter or paypal occasionally load extremely slowly or not at all for me, but when i use a VPN they work perfectly.
Why is this and how can i fix it? Please help.
I'm in germany btw so it's not like those sites should be geoblocked or anything.

>I do not have a device which allows any kind of telemetry and does not do data gathering of any kind. I use firefox nightly on my phone and use browserleaks to ensure my fingerprint is as generic as I can make it. I don't give anything other than my real name to these sites that require it, and if I can avoid it: I don't even give that. I try to avoid uploading pictures of myself. I attempt to be as private as I used to be

Any good resources to implement Modbus TCP from scratch? Is it necessary to use low level programming if I need speed?

7th year trying to finish my college course in CompSci honours. I'm not from the states so I don't have to pay too much to repeat. I started in 2019 and everything was going good until the plandemic occured. I couldn't do a lot of work at home during the plandemic since my dad is a dickhead and needs a justification for everything. I then had to repeat two classes during the summer of 2020 however free because of the plandemic. I unfortunately failed the one that I hated the most which had to do with adobe animate and creating an animation video, my project didn't get a pass and I got really pissed off. From then on I didn't attended a class and only went in person if I had an exam. I passed the animation class the next year but I decided to not attend classes anymore and try to pass the repeat classes during the summer like I did in the previous years since I thought it was easier over the summer. I ended up passing half of my classes but I didn't realise how much work it required. I didn't pass everything so I had to try again, I got lazier and the next year I only passed 2 classes. I eventually started a job in 2023 (and trying to pass the 2nd year of college for the 3rd time) I ended up passing another class in 2024 and then another in 2025. I had to pass only another class but the reason I didn't was because it's supposed to be a giant project with 4 people and to take around 3 months. We are now close to the summer of 2026 (class starts in july) and I have started to look a bit into the work provided from the semester. Any tips outside of emailing the lecturer? I am not giving up, you have no idea how shit the job market is if you don't have a college degree so this is why I'm definitely not dropping out. Hopefully I graduate before 30 (currently 24). Even if I won't find a job once I get my degree I'll try to do a part time masters degree if I get a good enough grade for my final year, any tips or tricks?

I've saved tons of videos from non-audio and audio boards on 4chan and they've piled up. I don't wanna have to watch all 800+ of them so is there a way to just rapidly know which have audio so I can throw them into my sound webm folder?

is there really any point in changing distros now? sure systemd is run by faggots but the age verification thing is real and it's only going to get worse. switching to void or artix.... sure for now. but when websites start demanding a verification token and you dont have it and thus get 404ed.... what's the point of wiping years of configs and tweaks to avoid the inevitable?

>>108626848
you'd have to take measurements in the case and compare to the dimensions of whatever you get. single slot vs dual slot's also a consideration. i think most low profile cards draw from pcie only but double-check that too, shitty proprietary aio desktops often have absolute ass psus.

>>108627065

they just see you as an obvious bot. If you really want to use normalfag social media, you have to drop a bit of opsec.
I have a normalfag-passing ig than somehow got locked because my ISP changed IP lease not once but thrice a week, and on top of that I made the mistake of trying out firefox that same week
they really monitor your fingerprint hard and will punish you the moment it changes or the moment it starts looking unnatural

are you using your ISPs DNS? same thing happened to me

sister's laptop somehow would randomly BSoD or crash with graphical glitches when moving it or tapping a specific part of the chassis
Ran a gorillion diagnostics but they all came out green. Thought it was maybe a faulty internal connector or damaged system board. Instead of just giving up, I opened it up and reseated RAM sticks. Turns out that did the trick.
My question is, what exactly makes RAM sticks need to be reseated? Could it have been fall impact or something?

my computer is old. modern websites are terrible.

are there any maintained adblock filter lists that block known intensive/unnecessary scripts? my Firefox hangs if i have a few e.g. Twitter or Instagram tabs open at once (believe me, i'd love it if nobody used these sites, either).

i know about alternative frontends, but is there anything that just blocks known-bloated scripts locally, while allowing these websites to still function well enough? i can live even if that breaks 'infinite scroll' sites.

I opened up my chrome today and ublock stopped working again.
Im assuming there's no way to reenable manifestv2 on 147 versions right?

Either way, is there any way I can recover the filters list at the very least? I tried everything but I dont know where to even start checking for something like that.

>>108630083
Me too yesterday. After decades I said fuck you and went Brave today.
I am an hour deep and it's good. It just works. I need to debloat a few bits but I am happy. Manifesto V2 extensions work normally + it doesn't even need uBlock because it has its own blocker build in.

>>108630106
Yeah I know I know I should change, and I tried to change to firefox but
There's some issues I have with some websites and accounts that wont work on other browsers for now, and I cant change until then. I also hate the way tabs work on firefox cause Im a tab fiend but thats besides the point

Please if you can help me and know how, right now I just want to get my old filter list and put it on ublock lite since lite seems to be working fine for what I want to do.

>>108626032
What tips and tricks do you want? It sounds like you just don't care. If you wanna pass sooner you literally just need to actually work on your classes instead of just leaving it till the last moment. If you're fine with repeating forever and the university keeps you on forever for some reason then you do you

Also employers usually look at CVs if they're putting any thought into hiring you, and spending like 10 years on a degree will look bad no matter what, especially if you don't have any good excuse like a terrible disease making you bedridden for 5 years or something. But maybe it's still better than no degree. Honestly 10 years ago I'd have told you to cut your losses and just go all-in on getting work experience but nowadays I have no clue how the entry level job market works anymore so good luck I guess

>>108627065
If a global system requiring a third-party verified age certificate is rolled out, operating systems won't matter, you either give your ID to the israeli data harvesting company or you're blocked from the internet
If it remains mostly a theoretical or at-will thing, or with selective enforcement where practically speaking no-one cares and the government doesn't bother prosecuting 10,000 apt libshitsneed packages and your grandma's blog, then even using a "pozzed" distro won't matter since you can just enter "99 years old" on the setup screen
If some corpo distros start adding third-party verification of their own volition (kinda like Apple is doing right now) then for popular and big distros like Ubuntu there will almost certainly be patches or forks to avoid this

some phisher sent an email to my work address (and to my co-workers). But all they wanted was our phone numbers. Why? What's the point? Isn't it trivially easy to find our phone numbers anyway?

>>108632209
You can do a lot of nasty shit with just a phone number. Intercept a text and potentially get access to another account that relies on 2FA, or you know good old spoofing.

it can be as small as confirming a human reads the email address so they can sell it to others.

I'm going to be in the market for a new computer (laptop due to space) in the next few months... but I haven't directly purchased a laptop in more than a decade (it didn't last that long but a friend gave me what I'm currently using)... so I've got no idea where to start.

I don't need a cutting edge gaming laptop (I do enjoy games, but I fell out of the hobby YEARS ago), just something that I can do art on, browse the web, and do banking and other "should be fairly secure" stuff from... and I better not have to replace it for at least a decade (longer would be better; no major surgery on the thing more than every 5 years or so either). I'm open to trying Linux, ambivalent-to-skeptical of Windows and Apple, and refuse to touch another Chromebook. So, thoughts and recommendations? Budget is whatever; I will save up if it's worth it.

I have a corporate version of Windows XP on CD/DVD from around 2005.
I have a bunch of laptops. Only one of them is 32-bit. Its a shitty dell with a floppy lid which I never liked. The other laptops are maybe like 15 years old and all 64-bit.

What to do about it certainly but first of all why in the UTTER FUCK hardened firefox is allowing it to spawn its own process independent of a web page.
