install gentoo
Stop playing games on campus. Comcast doesn't give a shit.
by installing Gentoo.
I don't think it's fried, but maybe it is.
I had this laptop about 3-4 years ago and when I set it down, my screen froze. I let it sit for a while and it didn't change so I had to turn it off manually. When I turned it back on, it wasn't working and I had to go into some screen. It said my hdd wasn't connected or something but i opened the bottom of my laptop and it was there. some boards said I had to install windows again or get a new hdd. I already have a new laptop and I was wondering if it was possible to move all of the contents (implying it still has all of the files) into a usb or something? Like can I take it to the shop and they can move all of the stuff into a new portable harddrive I can buy?
Also do you think thhe repairers would look at my files. I'm pretty sure I have a lot of porn on there.

Get a sata to USB adaptor if the hdd still works you will be able to plug it in and the data around

Yes, we know everything is already from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on eBay, AliExpress, Gearbest and similar sites.

More chink sluts edition?
Morning, /g/entlemen. I was hoping you guys could help me out. I'm looking for decent encryption and file shredding software for Linux. I keep a lot of tax documents and other personal stuff on an external drive and I would like to be able to encrypt it, as well as be able to properly destroy it once its outlived its usefulness. Google hasn't really been of any help here.
I would like to find something capable of producing hidden volumes like Truecrypt was, and ideally I'd like to be able to program the shredder to shred the drive if the wrong password...

dmcrypt + luks
cryptsetup can help bootstrap the above process
>>53929599
anybody have information on setting up an auto "shred" system for the trash on, say, debian?
Hello fellow GNU/Linux users. I've been using Gentoo Linux since July because I didn't want to be part of Microsoft's botnet of spying. I have made a straw poll to collect the reasons why people are not using Windows 10. In addition to answering the poll's question, state your devices and operating systems below. Please give the details of the reason in your post.
Desktop - Gentoo
Laptop - Gentoo
Netbook - Debian GNU/Hurd
Smartphone - Replicant
Tablet - Replicant
Server - Debian stable
I was pretty outraged by the Snowden revelations and PRISM, so I ditched all my proprietary software and only use stuff that I can audit myself from now on. FSF approval also doesn't hurt.
Here's the poll:

>Nvidia is ready to announce its Maxwell-based Pascal graphics cards at Computex 2016 from May 31-June 4, with graphics card players including Asustek Computer, Gigabyte Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI) showcasing their reference board products, according to sources from graphics card players.
IT'S HAPPENING

Lol what

Looks like Digitimes derped there, but it should be Pascal GPUs and Computex is the best time to launch consumer products
if Stallman is so much pro freedom why doesn't he crack denuvo and other drm? I mean he wrote the best compiler and userland in the world, it shouldn't be hard for him r-right g-guys?
>>53929309
Logically, it wouldn't really make sense for him to do. Cracking the DRM to a software doesn't make it fully liberated, it just becomes easier to access. It would essentially be him encouraging use of proprietary software.
>>53929309
Why would he do that? So he can allow you to play proprietary games that he doesn't approve of in the first place?
>>53929309
How do you know he doesnt?
I don't understand this software development shit.
How the fuck does one go around making a marketable program?
I mean, how do you make the front-end of the program interact with the back-end? Everything I've learned is only used in the Command Prompt. Just logic.
Where do I go from here, /g/?
Think of an idea (website, app, script, software)
Learn the language for it and it's API.
Program.
>>53929261
That doesn't really answer my question though.
I understand it's important to learn the language of what I'm trying to build, but how do you piece it together?
>>53929300
Get an IDE for your language. What language do you know?
This shit any good?

Any programmers out there believe AI is possible? I'm still pretty amateur but from what I learned it seems every outcome comes from some preprogrammed set of instructional code.

no, true AI is not possible.
>>53929075
But we like work under the laws of physics so we could make machines that do the same shit as our brain

What is your argument for saying it isn't?
So I helped a friend move and offered to recycle his old towers. Haven't built a computer since 2004, decided to rummage through and see if there was anything worth keeping. In the end, I have a comp with:
-500GB HDD
-AMD Phenom II X3 710 2.6 GHz
-Geforce GTX 460
-5 GB RAM
I only have a Chromebook and smartphone, otherwise. Is this a decent rig for games? I'm waaay out of the loop on what games require these days.
>>53928902
>play game
>does it run smooth?
>yes
It's decent for your gaming needs.
>no
It's not decent for your gaming needs.
It'll do just fine on the casual games. You can try unlocking that extra core. Google it.
>>53928902
it's not very good, but it will be fine for lower end games.
>>53928902
Idk cpu but gpu is good enough to play modern games. It is commonly listed as minimal requirement gpu
what does /g/ think of

>>53928882
>pretty cool
>less cool but still cooler than uncool
>mostly misunderstood term
Also, the power and magic of Haskell doesn't come from the fact that it's functional (alone), it comes from its type system.
AKA “Make your imperative languages as functional as you want, without a good type system they'll still be useful.”
>>53928900
pretty nice to see someone who isn't bashing FP
I ask around /dpt/ and they always say Haskell is a meme language and that Ocaml is better, and that I shouldn't continue with FP because I won't get a job.
Gets tiring after a while.
