meh a decent linux distro will be better than macos, since you've already tried it and hate it. install gentoo

as for bsd, it could work, it will be "stable" but it will likely require more effort and tinkering than linux would, which is why I'm unironically saying install gentoo instead. or arch. or even guix
I don't see why not use openbsd
maybe try it on really cheap hardware, see if you can buy a $50 thinkpad from 15 years ago on ebay that has compatible hardware supported by openbsd drivers and try it on that. or for that matter just try it in a vm I guess
drivers are always the issue with *bsd so if you're saying you plan to buy compatible hardware it will help a lot

It's a standard keyboard key which means that some programs might have bindings on it for whatever autistic reason which means almost all keyboards include a way to type it one way or another (even those minimalist tiny keyboards usually have some method to type all standard keys, it's just more convoluted)
But most programs don't have anything specific to use it for so if there's text input they just implement the default original function of the key (switching between insert and overwrite mode), under the assumption that maybe 0.001% of people actually use it that way, and everyone else won't care

>Aren't checksums/*hashes basic computer knowledge?
Like the other anon said, knowing what it is is pretty basic, and also can be learned in a couple of minutes of looking it up, so not knowing is a sign of lacking experience rather than lacking skill or intelligence.

>*assuming hash is a the same thing
Kinda but they're used very differently. A hash is a way to calculate some constant sized "marker" from variable-length data. A hash can be uttely simple, e.g. just take the first X bytes from the data, 0-pad if the data's shorter than that.
A cryptographic hash, is often just confusing called "hash" as a shorthand, is different is that it has crucial properties of being one-way, meaning there is absolutely no way to find or even guess anything about the original data using just the hash. It should look as much like a random string as possible, and make it as unlikely as possible for two arbitrary inputs to have the same hash.

A checksum is somewhere in the middle: the useful property of a checksum is that if you change something about the input, the checksum will likely change. A weak checksum can also be extremely simple: a parity bit, i.e. literally taking the sum of all the bits in the input and saying whether it's odd or even, is a checksum. A stronger checksum will be more reliable at detecting changes. Importantly, a checksum is meant to detect random corruption, not malicious tampering, and it's often very easy to find a way to change the data while keeping the same checksum if you're doing it manually - it's considered fine as long as the odds of this happening by chance are low enough.

A cryptographic hash is usable as a very very very strong checksum, at the cost of usually being a lot more expensive to compute. A weak, non-cryptograhic hash is rarely a good checksum. And checksum algorithms are sometimes but not always useful when you need some specific weak and cheap hash.

In a vacuum probably not much. The socket defines the form factor and importantly pin layout for the CPU connection. Technically, there's no particular correlation between CPU performance and pin layout. Maybe the new layout was easier to optimise for, but if they had to they likely would have made it work on the old AM4 layout.

Practically speaking, doing this would basically require redesigning most of the CPU, so they're not gonna do this for existing models. They would have to do this for the next, upcoming models, if they really wanted to. But they have no reason, because starting a new socket annoys people but by now AM5 is a couple of years old so they have absolutely zero reason to kill it and go back to AM4 now.

Also, other than the socket, the chips are different and maybe they'd want to keep the new faster chips as well. For example AM5 is all compatible with PCIe 5.0 while AM4 was almost only PCIe 4.0 if I remember correctly. So part of the reason is also marketing: they could make it compatible with old motherboards but they'd also want to make it clear to users which ones are the new ones that support all features, and which ones are old and will not provide all the advertised features. Just making an entirely new platform is the easiest way to do this.

>same question for intel
Yeah same applies to intel, in fact you can see that intel changes motherboard sockets practically every year while AMD kept AM4 going for so many years. There's no reason intel couldn't do the same, except that it wants to help its partners sell more motherboards.

I use an old 2010s era Thinkpad for budget issues as all my higher-end stuff has broken down, and I want to run some older retro games on Steam, unfortunately the Steam client is bloated to hell and back and even on Linux it causes temps to rise high enough for it to overheat and crash when I am playing something as simple as Half-Life 1.
What's the best solution to fix this? Is there a solution to either debloat the Steam client or some alternative way to run Steam without running the client?

>>108661141

Already done that. My only suspicion is that maybe the heatsink is faulty or inadequate, although the heatsink's fan does work normally...
For context it's a Thinkpad T430 and I upgraded the CPU to an Intel i7-3632QM.
>the computer shouldn't overheat.
Really? It normally shouldn't?
I should give some rough stats, but it's normally between 50-60 celsius, and it rises up to 75-85 once I use Steam and it rises up to maximum temps for a fair amount of games on Steam including older stuff like HL1.

>you're complaining about steam, like it's the problem,
I was told this by someone else, frankly. Though to be fair that guy was also shilling me some other stuff that turned out to not be true, so perhaps he was wrong.
>but it seems to be your fault.
I have a suspicion that when I cloned the original SHD main drive (I got scammed by the refurbisher that sold me the T430 and he had an SSHD instead instead of an SSD as advertised) into the new SSD that something might've fucked up with the distro. But that's my only other theory.
>it didn't overheat before you changed the cpu, right?
It didn't, but it did run insanely slowly to comical levels. I had initially assumed it was the CPU's problem, when I switched the CPU nothing changed, neither in temps and only a slight performance boost. It was when I discovered that the drive was not an SSD as advertised but an SSHD and I switched the drive from the original SSHD drive to the SSD that the problems began. I suspect because something fucked up in the cloning process.
It sounds insane and probably insanely technically improbable, but it's the only thing that has stayed consistent when I look back, it's why I am considering outright just wiping the drive and reinstalling everything and seeing if that works. But I wanted to see if the problem was elsewhere before I resorted to the nuclear option, and I entertained the possibility that it was the Steam client being the problem.
I wouldn't be asking these questions if I wasn't a total technical newbie admittedly, I've never built a PC nor upgraded any electronics before I used the T430. I did not make any mistakes in the thermal pasting either, I can confirm that with certainty. But if I messed something up in any other process like the drive cloning or even getting scammed by the CPU seller, that's a possibility I am willing to consider.

I know and all remotely relevant distributions have something like it. The bootstrapping happens via a specialised tool such as Debootstrap or Arch Linux's pacstrap or there's a so called root filesystem tarball which you extract to your target mount point. Or both. Some (pajeet?) guides speak of this as "creating a container" as the step in an installation process is very much the same.

Which version of Mavis Beacon do you guys like best? I remember using an earlier version, I think somewhere in the 6-9 range, first, and then I think I used 12 later on, both on CDs.
One of them had some typing games I liked, I remember it had one with ants I think.
I already type well/quickly and am just trying to formalize my typing style to use more than my first two fingers on my right hand now, and to never "forget" where a key is and have to look, I have it memorized perfectly and can type for hours without looking, but sometimes I spontaneously lose the ability, especially between different keyboard sizes.

Hmm, that might be possible, I am willing to test it out. I've never had much experience pasting before and I tried my friend's advice of putting a decently-sized blob (not too small not too big) in the center. Perhaps I was misinformed.
>for laptops I use tpm 7950 (look it up on aliexpress for a few bucks) it's a phase change material that is solid when cooler and liquidish when hot so ideal for laptops
I'll definitely look into that, thank you. I was using an Arctic MX-4, I assume it probably wasn't the best choice all things considered.
Also, if I may ask. Do you know where I can get the best hinge replacement for the T430? That one also got busted, and I am afraid of buying some shitty knock-off that doesn't work.

Adblockers are pretty much all the same. It's a DNS blocker. It blocks requests to/from specific domains (web addresses). For example, an adblocker won't let your device speak with (connect to), for instance
glowiespyware.com
Jewishadware.com
MossadVirus.is
..etc (those are examples not real links)

The sites (domains) that your adblocker blocks are your filter list. In other words, you can customize your filter list within the adblocker settings (extension settings). There, you can add or remove entire blocklists, and blacklist/whitelist specific sites. If you still don't understand, go look up how an adblocker works.

Also this goes a bit deeper, because an adblocker (aka DNS filter) can be placed inside your browser, inside your OS, or on your entire network. Or any combination thereof. Also look up how DNS works.

Work is making us install something for vanta. As a guy who reads epubs/write short stories and make regular use of syncthing, I am frighten by it, because they're gonna catch me on my bullshit.
I know the only reason we're doing this is regulation purposes; my boss doesn't really care if I read no.country.for.old.men.epub between compile times
What would you do in my shoes to keep the habit going? It's the only thing that keeps me from necking myself. You can make fun of me all you want, but I read dozens of books in between the compile times. Having to watch a loading screen go by a minute 200+ times a day for now on will kill me.

Wouldn't it be simpler to not even mess around with putting grep flags in a variable?

if [ "$1" = 'c' ] ;then
grep -rc "$2" "$folder"
else
grep -r "$1" "$folder"
fi


Using $1 for a flag while using $@ as the grep search term should break the search whenever you do actually use 'c' mode.
That would expand to 'grep -rc c searchterm folder', which will cause grep to search for 'c' in 'searchterm' and in 'folder'. This would also cause issues even if you didn't use 'c' mode, but did include multiple entries that would get picked up by $@.

So if you ever do use the $1 for c, you will need to offset the search term to be the second entry $2.

Downside for my above code is you can't search for the letter 'c' as that will only act as a flag.

An alternative is to dedicate that first entry $1 to be a flag check every time, but that would require you to include a junk character to fill it every time you used it.

Just to add, if you did want to search for multiple terms at once look into capturing your search terms into a variable and passing that through sed with something like:

sed 's/ /\\|/g'


The above will replace the spaces with \|, changing 'a b c' into 'a\|b\|c' which will allow grep to search for all three terms at once.
Note that if you use grep with the -E or -P flag, that uses a non-backspaced | instead of \|.

How do I patch up a small cut in my computer monitor screen? It is smaller than half a centimeter and is in the corner so it doesn't really bother me but it worries me that I might ruin my monitor if I clean off the screen with fluids. Is there anything I can cover it with so cleaner doesn't go into the monitor?

how much of a risk is a shorted USB with a mouse that got severely soaked? (mouse itself, not the cable) not planning to use it for at least 2-3 days obviously and it wasn't plugged in when it happened, but if i didn't? or shorting a USB by plugging in a water damaged device in general
yes i fucked up quite a bit, but the silver lining is i was planning to replace that POS with the jumpy scroll soon anyway and my old mouse still works reasonably well

what happenes if you shorten a USB port anyway, from what i've read ranging from a shutdown and then like nothing happened to a damaged motherboard but i don't want to put this to the test

If some day 4chan shuts down (I wish that day never comes), what do you think will happen next? Will some of the mods or users from here create a new imageboard that will replace it? Creating an imageboard isn't that difficult, right? Someone should have like a copy of this one so if one day this is closed, a new group of people can make a new one that looks exactly the same.

Well fuck, I went with rocky Linux afterall and is shite, apparently you can't upgrade between versions and the one they had is stuck on kernel 4.18, tried to upgrade anyways and brick it.
I've read alma Linux can be upgraded at least and my other option is Ubuntu but I don't know if snaps apply to server components too.

what the fuck, that's from 2018, which by linux standards is ancient history

How can i separate .webm video and audio files so they have separate default programs? windows 10
>>
I want a 75% mechanical keyboard, priced $150 and below, with 2.4 GHz dongle wireless connection capability, ANSI layout. Regarding switches, I prefer tactile switches, but sound-wise I like creamy/thocky keyboards. If impossible, I'm willing to sacrifice the sound for tactile switches. Either way, I want a pre-built keyboard, and I want it to come with good tactile switches by default. What do you recommend to me?

if you have a folder full of audio files and webm files and you want to put each type of file in their own folder, first create a folder for both types of files and open them in their own window.
in the folder with all the files search *.webm
this will show you all of the webm files in that folder. select them, cut, and paste them into their designated folder. What is left is everything else. *.mp3 and all of that type of audio file will be visible.

Or did you want to copy only the audio from a video? wiht that you can download something like Goldwave or Audacity and throw a video into it and it will only extract the audio that you can save separately.
there are a few free video editors like DaVinci Resolve that will let you separate video and audio and export them separately.

There's a thread for this. There's almost certainly a bunch of chink models that satisfy your requirements.
>I want it to come with good tactile switches by default
A lot of keyboards nowadays are hotswap so it takes like 10 minutes to pull out the old ones and stick new ones in. So whether it comes with good switches by default is pretty much purely a financial consideration, is it cheaper to find a keyboard that fits all your requirement AND comes with the switches you already want - or to have a wider choice of keyboard models and buy the exact switches you want separately.

Yes, but I was hoping to reduce the amount of decisions to make, I feel like any tactile switch I'm gonna put in is gonna ruin the sound of the keyboard

I fucking hate soundfags
If you want good sound buy a piano or someshit. A computer keyboard is for typing with your fingers, not for making ASMR with.

That's a stupid question. Although this is where it belongs, you may as well ask how to create your personal mirrors of those websites. So that taking any of them down would do nothing to you.
