Does anybody know how to download gifs from twitter using gallery-dl? It seems that by default it downloads them as mp4 videos. I'm fairly new to gallery-dl but maybe there's a way to hook up ffmpeg into a post-processor to convert the files or something?

Sometimes I have my vlc media player paused too long and it won't let me pull it up so I would have to close the window and reopen. Just now I had the problem where the whole program wouldn't pull up. I was able to fix it by fully uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I want to be able to do this with dolphin but it seems like there is an undetectable smidge of data that is preventing me from fully getting rid of it even though it looks like I deleted everything. What do?

We have an ancient laptop at work because it's the only thing that can run some old proprietary software that my boss likes using. The laptop sucks, and I'd like to copy the software and improve it and bring it to the other PCs, but my boss won't let me copy the drive because he is too scared that the laptop is going to die any day now (it probably will).

He still has the original installation disk, but he no longer has the activation key.

I'm thinking I could just copy the disk and go from there, but I wouldn't know how to crack the activation. AI is very opposed to helping me on this topic, so I'm basically lost on what to do.

My questions are:
What would you do in this situation?
Are there any AI's that are actually uncensored for this type of thing that would be able to assist me with getting past the key activation?

You would probably have to engineer a mounting solution for the cpu heatsink. You would also have to think about cooling the VRMs, vram chips, and so on.
Alternatively, it's not super uncommon for people to deshroud gpus and attach cpu/case fans (picrel).
For a laptop it would be easier to get a cooling pad. Perhaps even remove the bottom of the case?

E-ink displays themselves aren't too expensive, and neither are e-readers. E-ink tablets are a bit of a niche market and you want to get a decently powerful one. Check aliexpress I guess

Git is a bit complicated to explain in a post. You're basically doing operations on your local node graph (git repo), and pushing it to another.
Git detects file changes based off of the date modified and by diffing text files, although binary files do have support.
For large binary data, git LFS is used. This creates pointers to represent the files in the LFS store.

Some controllers don't show SMART values, but a good quality one does. I know for a fact that the Sabrent ones do since I use a lot of them.

The fuck? No. Just because you can't read SMART info doesn't mean it will die 5 years earlier. SMART data is only there to see if a drive is failing. If you can't see it and it 'randomly' dies it's because you used some shitty one that doesn't tell you SMART data and you just assumed it died randomly.

>>109832598
They can't cause accelerated drive failure unless it's a really stoved up enclosure that makes the drive cook itself. They can cause data corruption from broken UAS, which is a recurring problem. Always use some kind of integrity tracking with USB HDDs, even if it's just SFV files.

>>109836552
>1,028,553,569 bytes on all three
That's normal. Size on disk is different. Usually a restart can clear it. Whenever you download a file it mostly always has a bigger size on disk. You can read up on it.

>>109836643
Weird, to do a quick test, I re-downloaded the torrent show disk size was double the file size and reset my computer, however it was still double the file size afterwards. But when I moved the file out of my download folder, it went back to normal size.

Also is there a reason the file size itself is larger than what is shown when you download it? Not even talking about size on disk for this one.

>>109836785
Usually it should fix itself. Maybe there's a setting you need to turn on.
As to why this happens it's because of cluster size. A disk is divided into sizes. For example, a 16TB HDD has a cluster size of 8KB. If you download a file that is only 1KB it will still take up that whole cluster. So it will me 1KB size and 8KB Size on Disk. Torrents are notoriously horrible for this because it downloads files in fragments. It's why defragmenting was a thing for old HDDs. As for why your file doubled in size, I'm assuming it was a torrent software issue.

>>109836847
Alright, I kinda get it. Weird I didn't notice it before, unless it's a new update.

If you want to double check if your files are getting defragmented go check task scheduler -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Defrag

I really don't understand servers.
So when you start a server you put your IP and then after it you put something like :5001.

Does that mean that in your router, the 5001 door is being used by the program? And anyone with IP+door can also use the program?

>>109839386
>Does that mean that in your router, the 5001 door is being used by the program?
No it means there's a program on your server reachable at <ip>:5001. The router only routes packets to their destination according to predetermined policy. Whether the program is reachable from a given network segment depends on your server's network policies and the router's.

Can someone explain to me what the fuck .dll's even are?

>>109840447
Dynamic Link Library. Think of it as an actual library. It's where all the code of the OS or program is. So when a program wants to do X, it looks for the dll file that tells the program how to do X.

>>109840447
dynamic link libaries, or shared libraries (.so) on linux, are basically code that gets compiled into a separate file instead of an executable (.exe).
In C/C++ and other programming languages, an executable (or other dll) can run code from a dll by doing something like

LoadLibrary(".\my_dll.dll")

to open the dll, and then to get a function (some code) in the dll

GetProcAddress("my_function_name")

is used. This can then be ran like a regular function in the executable/programs

>>109840447
basically common program functions that can be loaded by other programs to extend their functionality.

like as a random example, say you're writing a program, and you want your program to be able to read .jpg files. you could write a jpeg decoder, but why do that when there's freely available code to do that. you could take that code and copy it into your program, and for simpler functions that might make more sense, but this isn't a simple function. you might also not be legally allowed to copy the code into your program depending on the licenses involved. so you leave the jpeg decoder as a separate .dll and instead make your program link to it at runtime, while the program is running it's as if the code was copied but instead it's copied when the program is run instead of being combined ahead of time.
this has a few benefits, like licensing, or to be able to replace the jpeg decoding library to say fix security issues or add functionality without needing to rebuild the program that uses it. the library can also be shared with other programs that need jpeg decoding support, saving space.
one place that libraries are irreplaceable and not just for legal reasons are ones that are vendor-specific in some way, like for example your video card driver may provide a library to provide opengl/directx functionality, but that library is specific to your brand of video card, so simply copying the code is not possible, as in even if you had access to the source code to copy, it wouldn't make sense since then your program would only work with a specific version of a driver for a specific brand of video cards. basically this can be used as a means of abstraction, to provide different methods of performing the same function.

How do I afford an iPhone as a third worlder with a $600/month post-tax salary?

>>109840943
Get an older model.
Or buy a broken one and piecemeal one with spare parts.

>>109840943
You don't ever buy the latest one. Simple as that.
Mine is a 16 and can do anything I want. I don't see issue in anything more advanced unless Apple starts fucking me over with forced updates again.

>>109840943
get a second hand one. apple fags like to praise apple for providing support/updates for a long time (but they would never ever use last years' model)

>>109840969
>>109840975
I don't know if in your country older models are much cheaper than new ones because people can generally afford latest ones or something, but the decrease in price per each generation is so small that an iPhone 13 is barely less expensive than an iPhone 17e.
That said I'm assuming you didn't mean outright used ones, so I haven't looked for the used ones yet. Although I wouldn't be surprised if these supposedly-new iPhone 13 are refurbished in reality

>>109841280
i mean second hand. i'm not in a third world country and could afford a new flagship phone if i wanted one (not super rich or anything but it wouldn't ruin me), but i don't really care that much about phones. i'm using an s21 ultra i bought off a friend who upgraded. just factory reset it, wipe it down with alcohol (phones are dirty), and pretend you've owned it a few years. what's the difference?

I just use a $200 motorola and a $20 motorola razr for work.
I don't need fancy shit. As long as it can call and text I'm fine.

>>109832609
So, uhh. Here's a better question.
Why do you want to?

Can't you simply disable it? Right click, "Disable device" should persist and let it remain installed (preventing re-installation by plug-n-play behavior) and keeping it disabled.

Alternatively, remove the physical device that it is a part of and you should see it gone forever. This could mean swapping your Wi-Fi card out for something without Bluetooth. You might also have the ability to disable the Bluetooth down in your BIOS/UEFI as well, this isn't really something you're meant to "uninstall" in Device Manager in your OS. Disable is what you're meant to do here, if you don't want to block/remove physically or in BIOS.

Is there a reason why torrents often stall at 99.9%?

What can you use to ban computers from accessing your system or service that isn't IP or Mac address? Let's say for example you pay for an account and the user is a bad actor that does something to warrant having their account banned, but they just make a new account. You can pretty much spoof everything at this point so I'm at a loss unless you tie their physical identity to their account, or add so many hoops to jump through that most people won't bother.

Is there a modern laptop on the market that has a similar form factor to the Sony VAIO U 2003?

>>109841665
torrents work by requesting small pieces from many peers, some peers are faster than others.
when you near completion, there's fewer pieces you need to complete the torrent, which means fewer peers to download from, which is why they can slow right down near the end.

This is a very stupid and roundabout way of charging a fee.

It keeps diffs of every change in the files (each commit is a change). Having an external repo just means you copy your local diffs to the remote one.
I wouldn't say it's "backup" because it's still in the same drive as your project. The drive dies, the git repo dies with it. But it helps a lot because it makes it easier to replicate the changes to remote computers (or other drives in the same computer) while preserving the change history.
Not good for big files, it's made for text files with diff based on new lines, which doesn't work with binary files. Use git LFS for that like the other anon said.

i bet you probably fucked with your bluetooth drivers by fingering them in device manager and it's bluetooth itself that requires a reboot to be seen again
wireless controller is supposed to be in that list. it stays there permanently.
you didn't show the other entries, there could be up to like six of them, don't fuck with any of them. one of them is your actual adapter. in its properties it shows name and address, which is the mac ID it broadcasts. the name is a copy of your PC's name, so i hope you didn't name your PC some fucking weird weeb shit.

completely reinstall your bluetooth drivers, reset the ds4 by sticking a pin in the hole for 30 secs, pair it to windows normally in the bluetooth panel, then set ds4windows back up again through settings > util > controller/driver setup

install vigembus driver and follow the steps in that panel. if you get controller working wired/wireless just stop there, don't install hidhide or do any other optional bullshit

profiles > edit > other > virtual controller settings > emulated controller: dualshock 4 & UNTICK disable virtual controller > click save

go to output slots and picrel make sure it's on an output slot

now go to settings > utils > click control panel, it opens joy.cpl, you will see TWO wireless controllers. test both. one will not work. usually it's the first one. click properties and wiggle the sticks/push buttons.

now that you confirmed it's working, look back inside ds4windows. in settings panel in top left, you can now click HIDE DS4 CONTROLLER. it will hide the non-working one.

click control panel again and test it, the remaining wireless controller entry should be the only functional one now.

now whenever you wanna turn off your DS4, use the disconnect menu from ds4window's system tray icon, or hold the ps button for 12 seconds

I'm thinking of "upgrading" my gaming PC for AI stuff and am considering a DDR4 server. I not in a position to have 2 rigs atm.
How fucked will I be trying to game on a Xeon W-3365?
The only demanding game I care about playing is MHWilds but I NEED to be able play it at 60fps.
I can't find jackshit anywhere online about gaming on workstation Xeons.

>>109843313
Pretty bad. Games really want single core performance and most workstations Xeons doesn't have the oomph for it, especially modern games.
It's possible to get 60FPS if you turn down the settings and resolution though. I've gotten 60FPS on GW2 on a Xeon CPU before, but that was with the lowest possible setting and playing at 720p.

is there anything i should be wary of when updating bios? ive never done it before and ill an hero if i brick my shit

for the last day or two, my Internet has been shitting the bed. it still works, but it is extremely slow and cuts out for a minute before coming back
so slow that youtube isn't loading and says no Internet even though I do have Internet
even my computer with an ethernet cable connected to it is suffering from the same symptoms but to a lesser extent, as in it also loses Internet for a minute every now and then and is too slow to do anything online, but it isn't nearly as bad as the wifi computers and when I downloaded a game on steam it immediately jumped back up to it's usual speed of between 30-90 mbps, only to slow back down after the download is finished
how can I tell if this is an issue with the router or an issue with the ISP?

>>109843596
Don't turn it off in the middle, that's all you really need. Use a UPS so you don't have to worry about a power outage.

The boost in steam in particular weirds me, but the rest strikes me more as a physical problem like a cable nearly torn or a clogged fan that can't cool something overheating.
Problem is that can be anywhere between your router and the pole outside. You'd need to call someone from that service to come over, check and fix whatever happened

Say you have dotfiles in .config, what exactly happens when the software updates? What if they have new info that needs to go into a config file in a certain place? What if the entire config's language is changed like in the case of hyprland? Some of these config files like say the kitty config file is like a hundred pages of code, can I safely just make small edits and not worry about it?

I don't know if it is needed to use the spoilers function in all the posts or only in the OP. I see that almost nobody uses it inside a thread, they only use it in the OP. It wouldn't be logical that if you haven't watched a movie that you go inside a thread about it but the function is there for all the posts, not only the OP so I don't know.

How do you see it?

>>109843786
They're used pretty well in threads on /a/, but yeah, people mostly speak however they want to the open forum. It's a useful optional feature to be polite

>>109843899
The problem is that when you are inside of a thread posting back and forth with other people about the movie you would need to put almost all you say about the movie in spoilers so it would be almost all black. Also I don't see many people doing it so I guess they don't do bans for that if you don't do it in the OP. This is just speculation. The thing is that I don't want to get a ban for something like that so I don't know what to do but I also don't like constantly putting almost all the text in black and think that if you haven't watched a movie you shouldn't go into a thread about it. That is how I do it. You could say that people like to read opinions about the movie and not the plot but everyone knows that it's too risky to do that because there is always someone that writes about the plot.

People who don't get networking are usually overthinking it and biting off more than they can chew. Learn IP before the port thing as ports are about TCP and UDP, not IP itself.
>>109841665
They do? If it's a rare one be sure to open up a port so you can receive connections, it's important to be a class-A citizen in those situations. And if you don't have IPv6 you could consider a IPv6 tunnel just in case there's that one IPv6-only peer. It's a bit of a stretch but just saying.
>>109841674
>that isn't IP or Mac address?
Mac address as in Ethernet? Case your service is listening to an IP address, it wouldn't know anything about the physical Ethernet. Your question doesn't make any sense.

Fuck I hate this jargon, what does it even mean? Does it mean user configs (in hidden directories) or just hidden directories in general? You know, a file or a directory is "hidden" in Linux/Unix when it starts with a dot.

It's completely up to the software in question.

If you are discussing a show that just aired, it is expected that there will be spoilers about that show and retards that go into the thread will get spoiled and it's their own fault.
Most people talking about future episodes, or a movie that hasn't released yet, but have read the manga/novel will put it in spoilers to be polite. There's a shortcut so it's not much work to add the tags. You could open the inspector and change the spoiler if you want to show all spoilers without moving the mouse.
That said, I was once banned for a day for not spoiling something in a manga storytime thread for an old manga. So I guess it depends on how much people get pissed about the spoilers and report them.

I don't use Spotify and I don't plan to.
Is there an online radio or something so I can discover some indie music? Preferably something that I can search for different genres. Or is Spotify the best thing right now? I really don't want to make an account. If UBO works on the website then I might be able to tolerate it, but I want fresh suggestions each time. Like, if I listen to some rock music and I keep getting suggested rock music, then great. But if I then switch to listening to classical music then it might still suggest me rock music or both at the same time.

>i bet you probably fucked with your bluetooth drivers by fingering them in device manager and it's bluetooth itself that requires a reboot to be seen again
I rebooted Bluetooth several times.
Through services.msc, through Device Manager itself, but no, everything is enabled and the result is always the same.
I put the DS4 on Pairing Mode, I hit the Bluetooth menu through my taskbar, and Wireless Controller never shows up.
(I pair and unpair it frequently because I also use it for a tablet I carry around while travelling.)

>you didn't show the other entries, there could be up to like six of them
There's only one Wireless Controller in the entirety of the Device Manager, including hidden devices, and it's right in the Bluetooth section.

>reset the ds4 by sticking a pin in the hole for 30 secs
I didn't know about this trick to be completely honest with you. The last joystick I used was the PS2's on my PS2 over a decade ago, so thanks.

So, let's say I follow the rest of your advice, how do you suggest me to handle my use case where, again, I need to be unpairing my DS4 from my PC to link it to my tablet and then back again to the PC?

there is an option at the bottom of this panel to show notifications to connect using swift pair, if it works, then i think that is what you want

Is there a way to make keepass on desktop more convenient? Such as opening my database with my laptop's fingerprint reader and/or a shorter pin. I use keepassxc but I'm not attached to it.

My main motivation is that I recently started using it as a Secret Service keyring and so now it requires me to type my master password every time the keyring is used, which is annoying. The only options I see are to either make the lock timeout obscenely long which just leaves the database completely open, or type my entire master password almost every time. I wish there was a middle ground where the database is left openable with biometrics or some weaker PIN, but I don't suppose that exists, right?

>People who don't get networking are usually overthinking it and biting off more than they can chew. Learn IP before the port thing as ports are about TCP and UDP, not IP itself.
I know IPs are numbers separated by dots, I know that the point separates "districts" and that it was a shit system in the first place because there aren't enough IP numbers.

>>109843725
The ones in $HOME are normally not touched by updates. It's up to you to read changelogs, and if the config breaks entirely then either you need to rewrite it or the software might offer a migration or something, it's really up to the software. Most software tries to maintain backwards compatibility for this reason.
Config files in /etc are handled by your package manager which should have some method of resolving conflicts. On gentoo there's a tool called dispatch-conf which shows you the diff and you merge it. On arch it just silently installs the new file with a .pacnew suffix, and it's up to you to hunt them down and manually merge them. I haven't used debian or other systems in a long time so I don't remember how they handle it.

>>109847417
No, the point is just for readability. There are 32 bits total and you can separate "districts" at any bit boundary.
The important thing here is that the port is not actually part of the IP address, it's extra metadata. At its most basic, its ignored by most routers, they just route the packed to your server at its IP address, and the server then sees "ah I got a network packet, it's got this data in it!" and part of the data is "the port is 5001" (and another part of the data is your actual application data etc.). This is usually used by the OS: actual programs generally register as "listening" to a given port, and then the OS uses the port metadata to send the network packet to that process.

Routers can sometimes also read the port number for extra routing settings - this is usually only used by edge routers i.e. the one managing your network, not backbone routers actually shipping the packets across the open internet. Probably the most common usage of ports is in NAT, which is how multiple local devices can connect to the internet using a single public IP your ISP assigns to your router: whenever your device opens a connection to the internet, your router assigns a random port to it as metadata, and then the server replies back with the same port, and your router knows to route the response packets back to that same device. This (and also firewalling) is why when running a server at home you need to set up "port forwarding": it's telling your router that if some external packet arrives on a specific port, it should always forward that packet to a specific device you chose, and it also means it won't use that port for its random NAT assignments.

>>109847417
>I know that the point separates "districts"
No, every bit counts in a netmask.

>>109847712
I still don't get it.
The IP is a 32 bit number assigned to your router by the internet company and the port isn't part of the address but extra metadata? Then what is it? Like I thought ports where a number of limited gates in the router where information comes and goes.

>>109847981
>the port isn't part of the address but extra metadata? Then what is it?
It's extra metadata, and it's used as an extra part of the address by other parts of the networking stack - e.g. your OS, which handles TCP and UDP packets.

As a rough and imperfect analogy, think of the IP address as a street address of a building, and the port as the occupant name or flat number. The street address is where the postman goes to dump the letters. Now in a small house (think: a server directly connected to the internet), you just grab the letters out of your letterbox, and hand them out to your family/roommates by name, analogous to the OS's networking stack handing the data to processes that are registered as listening on given ports (e.g. a game server, a web server, etc.)
In a large appartment building, there's a reception and they might have their own mail sorting, where they take the stack of letters dropped off by the mailman and then separate it for each flat, or maybe even deliver it internally directly to your flat - where you then take it and hand it to your roommates by name, again. This is similar to if your home router does NAT and so uses the port to pre-sort packets for each actual device. Now I don't think skyscrapers actually do this but no analogy is perfect.

So the IP address is basically the physical address of the building. The occupant name doesn't help post service to route your letter to the right town, or the postman to locate your building. It's extra metadata, used mostly by you (the receiver) to determine exactly who should read the letter. Some mail has no name at all and just the address, for example. (IRL that usually means it's junk mail you throw away, don't mind that.)

To be technical, there are protocols built on top of IP, and the most common ways to transfer data use TCP or UDP which both use port numbers. Other protocols don't have a concept of a port at all. The IP address is still how the packets reach you regardless.

>>109847981
>>109848081
Oh also yes, there's a limited number of ports, but that's mostly a consequence of the fact that all numbers are limited in computers. The port number in TCP and UDP is 16 bits which means it goes up to 65535, in practice you never "run out" of available ports unless you're doing something extremely, extremely unusual.

>what exactly happens when the software updates?
>What if they have new info that needs to go into a config file in a certain place?
why would something happen? a config file is simply a text file where you (the user) explicitly setup a certain configuration option, so you don't have to write/enable it each time you use a command/program. Is a simple way to override the default configuration. My yt-dlp config for example is literally just "--js-runtimes quickjs".
>What if the entire config's language is changed like in the case of hyprland?
Stop using meme programs
>Some of these config files like say the kitty config file is like a hundred pages of code, can I safely just make small edits and not worry about it?
See above. But also, you don't need to have all those hundred lines of text kek. You can just write down the config options you're interested in, e.g.

font = epicprogramming font, 14
opacity = 0.5

>>109844795
spotify has a webapp so maybe that?
I think some music players have a feature where you can export your folder as a playlist text file, which you can then use to be converted into a spotify playlist with some service

>>109848167
>why would something happen? a config file is simply a text file where you (the user) explicitly setup a certain configuration option, so you don't have to write/enable it each time you use a command/program. Is a simple way to override the default configuration.
NTA but you're disingenuous. In the general case there is no fundamental rule that says a program's configuration options have to be set in stone forever. It is absolutely possible for configuration options to change, get removed, get renamed, etc.

For example, the JS runtime was only added to yt-dlp recently, so you must've edited the config recently to change the runtime config. Now that wasn't a breaking change because it was additive, but say tomorrow yt-dlp drops support for quickjs for whatever reason, you will be forced to edit your config file again once you update. That would be "something happening".

>Stop using meme programs
Some programs literally do not change anymore because their options have been set 20 years ago and for the past 10 years the only development activity is obscure bugfixes.
But again in the general case there is never a guarantee that it will remain the case, especially when using young software.
Hyprland specifically is the second most normal way to use wayland, after KDE. Some distros have dropped X11 support, and some people use wayland because it works for them and maybe they actually need some wayland features (like multi-DPI monitors or shit like that).

The browser extension? You still need to know the master password, but it'll be directly in the browser.

>>109848232
Not sure, can you explain what you mean? I do use the extension, but when the database is locked it has to be unlocked the normal way to allow the extension to read it, I'm not aware of the browser extension providing any extra authentication options.
Also I'd like it outside the browser too, like I said right now my main annoyance is with the Secret Service desktop keyring prompts which obviously also ask me to unlock the database each time.

>You still need to know the master password
Obviously I know my master password but I just don't want to have to type it in every single time. That's my entire question.

>>109848251
On windows and mac you can quick unlock with windows hello and Touch ID. It seems to be in development for linux

>>109848309
>It seems to be in development for linux
Makes sense, that's what I need to look forward to I guess. That's actually better than I was expecting, I was kinda ready for there to be no answer and nothing upcoming either.
Why did you mention the browser extension though, is Hello/TouchID only implemented there? I'd have imagined they'd add it to the normal database unlock and use it anywhere keepassxc needs to unlock the database.

What exactly did you do in gparted, and did it give you any actual message upon failure or just a code?

When a Stremio addon returns HTTP streams, is there a bridge that can surface its results as an indexer for Radarr/Sonarr, then act as the download client for them or hand off to something else that can? I've got an add-on that acts as a middleman returning a lot of HTTP streams sourced from various places instead of the torrents/NZBs/debrid or Easynews URLs it grabbed from. It would be nice to use it with arrs instead of having to go through the Stremio/Nuvio client when I want to download rather than stream. I've found solutions for Easynews and debrid, and Prowlarr indexers that use Stremio torrent scrapers, but not something for HTTP streams like this

use windows boot media to repair install (this will probably screw up your grub boot menu, boot linux livecd and sudo update-grub after you're done with windows), boot into windows, use diskmgmt.msc to shrink the windows partition.

free space % doesn't necessarily correspond to how much you'll be able to reclaim, windows has some stupid "unmovable files" or some shit, ymmv

try to avoid working on ntfs partitions with foss tools, they generally work but often ask you to chkdisk in windows anyways after

>and did it give you any actual message upon failure or just a code?
There was a message but tbqh i forgot what it said. Just that it failed to resize the partition. I'm not sure what's going on there because Gparted can't even check the partition anymore but for some reason disks can and it keeps telling me it's all ok.
>>109850148
thanks for the advice, will try it.
>free space % doesn't necessarily correspond to how much you'll be able to reclaim, windows has some stupid "unmovable files" or some shit, ymmv
yeah, ran into that issue when i was using windows own disk manager. I was hoping i wouldn't be an issue with Gparted, but you can see how that turned out.

>>109850179
I shrank my windows partition like this and I remember doing some combination of shrinking, then defrag/cleanup, then shrinking again a couple of rounds until it refused to go smaller. turn off page file, hibernation, kernel dump, and run the Disk Cleanup thing, see what you can do to clean up update cache/delivery optimization and other system stuff.

I looked around for a bit and I don't see anything that really matches this. If your objective is to use Radarr to index and initiate the DL and organize it then you'd need to slap together that bridge. I'd suggest making the indexer act like Usenet to query your source and give back a Newznab NZB response including the http stream URL as the subject, on some bogus group, then mock a downloader that just downloads the URL somewhere.
That's a lot of work tho. Since you'd be "managing" some stuff in *arr anyways to add the movie/show, I'd instead just add the show without telling it to search/import, download the stream separately (you can automate this part if you want), and then in the Wanted section point it at the downloaded file to import so it does the directory structure, metadata, etc. A bit more manual but much less work (not reimplementing 2 apis to fake it out) and less brittle.

>>109850404

not too familiar with stremio but I think you would need to put this together. if you're OK with the manual Radarr import via the Wanted tab, it at least seems like an easier lift compared to faking out 2 different APIs to trick Radarr. automation suggestion is a nicety tool for yourself, if you can talk to stremio easily you can do your search and download to a little directory that you then import. http is easy to work with. maybe vibe together a dumb little python script or whatever

In Lutris you should be able to see some logs somewhere down near the Play button though I'm not sure how far that will get you unless the game/crack itself tells you what's going wrong on standard out.

>>109849699
Highly unlikely. If it's Android TV the vendor has a bunch of drivers and other bullshit to make their specific flavor of chip on the TV work, and it's probably impossible short of a 0day to unlock the boot loader. Samsung has a completely retarded custom OS called Tizen that's just totally fucked. You're better off just hooking up some kind of htpc or a dongle of your choice via HDMI and keeping it pinned to that input, never activating any of the TV's own features.

>>109847264
the way I do it is store my keepass master password using secret-tool. then there's a message to unlock keepass through dbus that I pipe the output of secret-tool into to give the master password. and then just use the browser extension to connect to it. then I just launch the bash script when I need my keepass opened. to add another factor you'd have to see if secret-tool can use something besides the default login keyring. I think it can but I haven't tried.
I'll try and find the script later if you want something to work from

here's my stupid secret-tool script, my kpxc is in flatpak.

sleep 1
qdbus org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.MainWindow /keepassxc org.keepassxc.KeePassXC.MainWindow.openDatabase /path/to/kdbx $(secret-tool lookup attributename valuename)

where you set attributename and valuename in advance, they don't really matter, kinda just a label/identifier. I used "org.keepassxc.KeePassXC" and "masterPassword"

secret-tool store --collection='collection' attributename valuename 

collection lets you use something besides the default login collection that's unlocked on login. the lookup command would find your attribute/value in the locked collection, and then your keyring that you have the weaker PIN on would prompt you. there is also a lock command after. hooking this up to fingerprint is an exercise for the reader.

download RunAsDate from nirsoft
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/runasdate-x64.zip

drop the exe in the directory with the game

make a .bat script in the directory with below contents. edit your paths as necessary. Z: in a prefix corresponds to your / root in linux
USE BACKSLASHES INSTEAD OF FORWARD SLASHES! otherwise the RunAsDate tool won't work.

@echo off
start "" "Z:\path\to\SRMR\steamclient_loader_x64.exe"
start "" "Z:\path\to\SRMR\RunAsDate.exe" /immediate "01/01/2025" "Z:\path\to\SRMR\SRM-VR.exe" -vr 0

edit the ColdClientLoader.ini in the game directory and under [Persistence] set Mode=2

Add the batch script to Faugus/Lutris and run it. a small dialog will pop up, that's the steam loader. then the game should start. a few seconds of black screen, and then the game loads. pic related.

>>109852621

hmm well I tried on Lutris and it got stuck on black screen so I dunno. but it did take the .bat file and run the same sequence of stuff. I started from scratch with Faugus with my steps and it just werked. best I can say is just use Faugus. there I am using Proton-CachyOS latest (version 11.X)

windows drive letters get mapped to stuff on your host file system. Z: by default is the root dir. my external drive is I: for some reason, that worked for me too but I know Z: works for everyone.

the batch script just loads the steamclient_loader, which sets up the environment for the steam API to load.
immediately after it launches RunAsDate, and passes the date to mock, path to the exe, and other arguments (to disable VR) to the regular game exe

>Then what is it?
It is part of TCP or UDP, those protocols have a concept of a "port". Then there are things like ping for example that doesn't have ports, ping goes to the OS core, not to any individual program.
>I thought ports where a number of limited gates in the router where information comes and goes.
Ports are gates to programs. OS handles the network traffic and forwards specific traffic to a specific program.
In this scenario IP is used to find specific machines and TCP and UDP is for the upper level traffic. (picture relates when you stretch this idea to a "physical link" such as Ethernet)

why does the crack stop working after a certain date anyway

>>109852990
RunAsDate.exe expects a path to the program you want to fake the date on. but it thinks it's running in windows so you have to give it a windows path. so I give it a windows translated version of the path to the file on my linux filesystem.

you could do that just through arguments, but the other problem was running the game thru RunAsDate.exe broke the crack loader thing, even for windows users I saw had the problem in the f95 thread. I read some people had success with Mode=2, which requires running the crack and then subsequently running the program. so I wrote a batch script that does those 2 steps.

as for how I figure this shit out, I do a lot of modded games. trying to get modded STALKER to work was a nightmare but relentlessly chasing how to do so learnt me on how a lot of this bullshit works and a few tricks in the process.

no idea why the date fakeout is needed, I've never seen that before. from what I understand the crack "Cold Client Loader" just makes the game think it's running on steam and that you own a copy of it to fake the drm. there's probably some weird quirk or assumption the game is making about the steam API that breaks its loading or whatever. it's a crapshoot with these jap porn games how the fuck they're kludged together.

idk about VLC so if you're dead set on using it, disregard my post

in mpv (or any of its frontends like i.e. Haruna) you can enable save-position-on-quit and it will remember where you were in a file when you reopen it.
you can combine that with save-watch-history. then when you have it open again you can press G, then H and it lists your watch history. pick the file you want and it resumes.
I have this setup and it works great. the only caveat is if you kill mpv (like via shutdown) instead of quitting normally, it won't save the position in the file.

Do you run out of RAM often? If not then more capacity is not going to be useful

I use KeePass2Android, it seems to have the same features as KeePassXC on desktop

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. But is it possible to get an image that I have by splitting a .gif into frames, to use some AI scaling to make it 1080p to use as a wallpaper without looking like shit?
I tried the first free one that showed up but it makes it look worse than if I just stretched it out, loses many features and smudges things worse than an Instagram filter.

What is a decent cracked photoshop version? I did a reformat recently and cant remember the version number I had, I do remember the startup image was a girl holding a teddy bear.

It's another instance of pic. You get a LLM equipped to exploit every known network software vulnerability since 3 months ago and get some retards to deploy it inside a company network that hasn't been properly maintained since the late 80s. Then surprise, not only does it make it outside where they expected it to go, it goes clear to the company edge router. The real story is cybersecurity is a joke profession. They're in the business of making excuses for inexcusable security practices, and when they fuck that up so bad they pwn themselves they say it's because the next word guesser is actually Skynet.
