can anyone help me pick out a good VPN? I am on linux.
I have looked into a bit and a lot of review sites recommend expressVPN but they are based in the UK and I know the UK is pretty shit when it comes to privacy and a friend uses IVPN but I can't find any proper info on it.
Any other VPNs there are? What do you guys use? Please help

Can I use youtube-dl to somehow automate downloading an entire channel's or user's videos?
I really don't want to do each separately but I really need to get an entire channel's videos.
>>51355500
I'm not sure if it supports that, but it can download whole playlists. So if you can put a channel's videos into one playlist (or query all of it's videos as a playlist) then ytdl can get them.

My NVIDIA drivers seem to have shit the bed; I've tried downloading 5 different versions of the same drivers with no luck. I'm tempted to try upgrading to windows 10 to see if that somehow fixes the issue. Here's some info
Windows 8.1
Lenovo Y7510P
GeForce 755M
Any ideas on how to try fixing the GPU, or if windows 10 is even a good idea?
>>51355757
fuck i mean the fucking motherboard that the ram and cpu are plugged into that thing in the picture that is screwed to the test bench you know the motherboard that comes in a box and you plug all your computer parts into it that board that actually has all the pcie slots attached to it and not the thing that is plugged in to a single motherboard pcie slot in that picture.

I'm sorry for reposting this, but last night when I said that my Xubuntu often times does a lengthy filesystem check before booting someone asked for contents of my fstab.
http://pastebin.com/VEcRwQxa
I changed it to this after installing Xubuntu, because the extra partitions where mounted in media which made them constantly visible on the desktop, and i didn't want that. Someone from /flt/ told me what to write in fstab regarding Windows partitions, but for that final Ext3 one I looked it up on the Internet, so its possible that I might not have set up everything the best I can.
>>51355796
Can't tell you the exact model but pretty sure it's an Asus, looking at the notched and slanted PCI slots. Probably a budget model since it isn't black and red / gold / puke green

Got a stupid question about Atom.

>>51356787
Is there a feature for that in atom?

hello, I have openwrt (pandora sdk), how do I block certain IPs?
so far tried creating a rule using firewall -> custom rule (also tried editing iptables config file) did not seem to work, still can ping one and another IPs, actually it is ISP DNS I am trying to block as for some weird reason there are connections to port 53, even though, on pc I have set to use opendns (there are connections of it as well, which is not too unexpected)
anyways, perhaps there is a better way such as override dns option in openwrt? thanks!

the windows 8 viewer or the windows 10 one?
I absolutely hate the one on 10. I'm getting nauseous from all the images sliding around.
>>51357153
I'm trying to use the old Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10. The one from Windows 7 and I guess 8 as well, haven't used 8 so I don't know for sure.
I'm not trying to use the new Windows 10 Photos app, I'm not a fan.
I am looking to get a new rig. Should I focus on shit-hot, fast as fuck 1080p or spunk loads of money on 4K that will likely run at a lower framerate?

I want to build a small desktop to replace my aging laptop, since I never really take the laptop off the desk.
But every build on pcpartpicker aside from the one with the heatsink that's 3 times the size of the case isn't what I need.
I want *enough* power to reasonably quickly edit and watch 4k footage from my phone, paired with a true silent, passively cooled machine, in the smallest possible case, like mini-ITX.
Am I reaching too high?
worth getting a crt for the refresh and response?
>>51357309
No.
>>51357049
Is your ass on your mouth since you talk shit man.
>>51356603
Just get around 750W, more then enough.
>>51357306
I'm not sure what you're asking, you want to stream 4k vid to your phone from a silent box?
>>51357306
>>51357348
Nope. I only stream up to 1080p over wifi and have no issues there. I just want basically the smallest, quietest possible desktop to edit my phone's 4K footage on in Premiere Elements 14. Playing modern games would be a nice plus (even at lower settings). My laptop is a 5-year old first-gen core i3-330M with Intel GMA HD4500 or HD4000

Are coding "games" a sufficient way to learn code or should I just read the books for a more straightforward understanding of programming?
what's the best FREE VPN!! Thanks guys xo
>>51357320
Arguments?
>>51357309
depends on what you are going to use it for...
I got one flat glass type one for free, which runs 800x600 @ 150 Hz
it is really nice for playing stepmania, the video is much better than on LCDs, however, CRTs are known to be not good for eyes or something like that, mind that one?
CS 1.6 is run @ 100 fps and looks best when matching frametime nicely as 50 Hz - half frames displayed, 100 Hz - all frames displayed, 200 Hz might not give big difference, but anything between 0-25-50-100-200 Hz etc. would split frames in refresh and there would be a lot of visual artifacts as tearings.
if you are into casual games like skyrim, cs:go you should be fine with 100+ Hz LCD

>tfw I told you so

>>51357959
Aight, here's what you do.
First you should open /etc/default/grub with text editor of choice. You will need root access for it.
For xubuntu it's going to besudo mousepad /etc/default/grub
You will edit the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
addvideo.use_native_backlight=1
before the ending " of the file
Result should be like in pic related.
Save the file.
Then rebuild it withsudo update-grub
Reboot and report back

>>51358304

According to this on ubuntu you should edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line.
Add the same parameter, rebuild
reboot
report back
>>51358335
should i use a separator or something between 'quiet splash' and 'video.use_native_backlight=1'?
also should i erase grub_cmdline_linux back the way it was? (blank)

Why can't I view certain internet videos even though I have all codecs and flash player installed?

sometimes there is a 'make uninstall' but I think that's up to the dev to have put that there, and clean up after themselves.
Yes, can look at the makefile and see where it's putting what and remove it. Sometimes I just find / -iname "*projectname*" and remove those.

Is there any way to synchronize Zim's Text Editor with an android device? Even "view mode" only is acceptable.
>>51359560

>>51359492
I used it quite a bit for reading stuff and used it as a tablet on my PC for some drawing. I got used to the pen for a few more things so that's one of the things I'm looking for, and unfortunately there aren't many tablets out there with digitizers like that.
I also wanted something slightly bigger. 9.7 inches seemed like my thing. I already read that the resolution is lower (1024x768) so I can expect the DPI to be fairly lower as well, but frankly I think it's not enough of a fault for me to stop myself from buying it. What worries me if that you said the CPU was shitty. Note 8.0 is ok with a different ROM, but if this worse in terms of performance I might just have to give up on my search.
It's just that my Note 8.0 has been there for years working pretty well for me, but I had a big accident involving a fuck ton of water and the screen is a mess now with a few patches here and there. I even replaced the LCD cable that fixed things a bit. I suspect fully repairing the thing is going to cost quite a bit still.

Same place as notebook.zim file, actual notes are not created until you click "save".

I mean ES has built-in plaintext editor, you still need some way to sync files between your desktop and phone.
Do you want to sync it over internet or lan-only? Do you need offline access to notes on your phone? How paranoid are you?
I'm just using dropbox because neither my government nor nsa won't find anything worth their time in those notes and their client is better than all I've tried.
Gonna ask it here since the /g/ wiki is down.
What is a GOOD and FUNCTIONAL bittorrent program? I used to use utorrent up until it went to crap, then I switched over to qbittorrent, which is having some major issue that is making it usable for me.
The problem is I have a ton of completed torrents from a private tracker that I wish to seed. They were originally on a secondary drive, and I made a full copy to an external drive for backup. Then the secondary went down. So I went into qbittorrent to switch the location to the external backup so I could force a re-check and get them seeding again. qbittorrent will NOT allow me to change the location, it just spits up an error whenever I try. Googling around, qbittorrent has had this issue since at least 2012, and it still has not been fixed. I tried downloading Deluge, but Deluge doesn't appear to support changing the location after the torrent has been started, which makes it worthless for my uses.
So, is there a torrent program that actually works?

>Same place as notebook.zim file, actual notes are not created until you click "save".
How weird. The only things on the folder are an empty .zim folder and notebook.zim
>Do you want to sync it over internet or lan-only?
Internet would be better, but if that's not possible, I'm okay with lan.
>Do you need offline access to notes on your phone?
It would be pretty useful.
>How paranoid are you?
Not paranoid at all.
UEFI or legacy?
Why the one and why not the other?
So last night I accidentally misspelled a url by one letter and it took me to a page that told me my flash version was out of date and gave me a in page popup that wouldn't allow me to leave. The usual bullshit. I just closed my browser through the task manager. Are drive by attacks this easy? I mean should I be worried? I didn't click anything of course.
>>51359998
I'm not sure I understand your problem
Can't you just re-add the torrent files, and specify where they are on the drive with qbitorrent ?
what's a viable use for a ramdisk?
>>51360143
hold files you don't want to write to disk
>>51360118
Tried that, qbittorrent won't accept it, spits out the same error.
The problem is I already have the files downloaded, and I don't want to download them again, I just want to seed them from the new location. qbittorrent won't allow it(spits up error every single time), and Deluge doesn't even give the option.
>>51360045
I created new notebook to test if it's something changed in latest versions, but there too as soon as I clicked "save" on a new template it created a corresponding txt file.
>>51360143

Incomplete torrents
>>51360182
It's pretty weird, I've done that multiple times on qbt. What's the error?
Also the next client you should try is probably Transmission.
Is it possible programming just isn't for me?
I'm really struggling with the python module in my uni course.
>>51360230
programming is for everyone
just like being a ceo of a fortune 500 company is for everyone
or being a warehouse stocker is for everyone
or building ice sculptures in your free time is for everyone
>>51360245
that being said, uni introductory programming courses are notoriously bad
>>51360245
>>51360272
So, you really need to have a passion for it?
>>51360245
Come on, programming is not that hard. It's fairly simple once you get past the initial intimidation
What common video format is the easiest/least taxing for a blu-ray player to decode and render from a usb drive/network?
The manual says that it will play mkv, avi, mp4, and some others, but it chokes hard on x264 BD rips. Stuttering and audio sync issues out the ass.
If AVI is the least resource intensive format (my best guess), what command in ffmpeg can I use while retaining most of the quality? A higher bitrate than the source is ok, as long as there's no stutter.
Anyone know what I would need to upgrade to play fallout 4?
>>51360220
It whines about the destination being unready(IE, that HDD ain't there partner), despite the fact it can see the drive, files, and everything else uses it just fine.
Gonna try Transmission now, hopefully it works. Thanks for the heads up anon.

Get yourself ublock origin, it won't happen again
And check your extensions if you think you could have been infected, but it's unlikely.
>>51360555
You're probably fine. Usually browser/system updates should block most kinds of malware attacks that could install without user consent. Hence why they said your flash was out of date, they were trying to get you to click to install their shit. If you avoided that I don't think you got anything.
>>51360499
mkv, avi and mp4 are not formats but containers, you can put different formats in them.
does the manual say anything more detailed? supported bitrates, actual formats etc?
Are there any cool music players for Debian? I'm lloking for something with an audio spectrum or just those basic beat bars. I found this nice one for Linux Chakra a while back.
>>51360591
I do have ublock origin with all the malware lists.

Alright. Thanks.

increase the number of watts your PSU can supply
watts are the si unit of power, equal to one joule per second
a joule is also the work done by applying a force of one Newton over one meter
a Newton is one kilogram-meter per second squared, or the force required to accelerate a one kilogram object at a rate of one meter per second squared.
>W= kg * m^2 / s^3
in order to reduce s, your download time, we have to put it in terms of factors we can control, making uncontrollable factors constant
you can convert kg to gigabytes by some constant i don't remember, let's call it k1
>W = k1 * GB * m^2 / s^3
the meters here is the distance the data has to travel between you and your peer,
this is constant, so let m^2 equal k2
>W= k1*k2 * GB / s^3
the file is going to be the same size regardless of your settings, so GB is constant, so let GB equal k3
>W = k1*k2*k3 / s^3
now a product of constants is itself constant, so let k1*k2*k3 equal k0
>W = k0 / s^3
>W * s^3 = k0
for any values of W and s, k0 is constant, so we can set two instances equal to each other
>W1 * (s1)^3 = W2 * (s2)^3
>W2 / W1 = (s1)^3 / (s2)^3
>1 / (W2 / W1) = (s2)^3 / (s1)^3
>1 / (W2 / W1) = (s2 / s1)^3
>3v(1 / (W2 / W1)) = s2 / s1
so if you get a PSU with 8 times the power of your old PSU, making W2 / W1 equal 8:
>3v(1 / 8) = s2 / s1
>1 / 2 = s2 / s1
>s1 / 2 = s2
the time it takes with your new PSU will be one half the time it took with your old PSU.
if you don't have the budget for such a large increase, and you only double the size of your PSU:
>3v(1 / 2) = s2 / s1
>1 / 3v(2) = s2 / s1
>s1 * 1 / 3v(2) = s2
>s1 * 1 / 1.26 = s2
>s1 * 0.79 = s2
the time it takes with your new PSU will be about 79% of the time it took with your old PSU.

codecs are mentioned if that's what you mean, but not bitrates. It also says under 30fps, but everything I have is 24.
for ps3, you just remux into a .m2ts or mp4 file and it plays beautifully, haven't figured this samsung box out yet.
>>51360563
not that guy but what about a 4.2ghz pentium?
>>51358176
>>51360712
tl;dr if you increase the power of your PSU by a factor of N, the time it takes to download or upload will decrease by a factor of the cube root of N.
>>51360718
and what's your current files encoded into?
seems like it'd support everything out of the box anyway.
Here's a neat guide on how to encode

I know when it comes to games macs can't compete with windows but what about programs? It seems like macs are close to windows when it comes to popular programs.

Depends a lot on what you're trying to do. For example I've heard (though it was a long time ago) that for artists/graphic designers mac can be better sometimes

The issue with gaming is OpenGL, it just blows as Steam OS shows, although Apple not bothering to update it, doesn't help.

Reposting from the premature other thread.
I've never used cron before, and even after doingman cronand looking all over the internet, I'm not sure why this fucking task won't run. This is what I have in my crontab:00 * * * * /usr/bin/overviewer --config=/root/overviewer/default
It's supposed to run every hour of every day that the system is on, at 00 minutes, eg. 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, etc.
Why is it not? If the code completed, I would have a page on my website that would actually load, and it doesn't, meaning the html that the code generates was, well, not generated.
Anyone have experience with cron? it's a fickle little bitch.

My main reason I continue to use it is how customizable it is. A lot of shit that you would need add-ons for or simply can't do in other browsers can be easily changed in about:config with minimal effort, and there are also many add-ons to customize other aspects to make it fit your needs well. (Of course the latter is true of many others browsers as well, but for example with Chrome when I tried it I was originally rather disappointed with the lack of ability to change a lot of things that would have been easy to change in FF.)
>>51361201
Assuming the devs were not retarded it should be easy to prevent you from doing so. But try looking at the source if you want and see if anything sticks out.
I want to learn basic programming just as a hobbie. Which language should i start to learn?

I'd check BIOS settings, if there's nothing there then you probably can't do so easily. But I'd guess they would put something, or some quickboot option to suppress or speed up such prompts

Python is often a good first choice. I started with Java mostly due to my university, and while it is a pain in the ass in a lot of ways I can at least vouch for the fact that it has excellent online documentation, so you could also look into that.

Thanks alot. One of my friends mentioned C, he told it is a basic language as well, do you have any opinion about it?
>>51361270
in most recent (15.10) yes.
In the LTS, no, it uses canonical's abortion init system called upstart.
>>51361311
C is another good choice. It is very basic and low level so you will learn how to program without using a lot of the more sophisticated constructs and syntax that more high level languages might use, which may be helpful getting started. Python is kind of on the other end of the spectrum as far as that is concerned.

Fairly certain I've always used SATA and for some reason this problem seems to coincide with me having to manually boot my hard drive upon startup even though it's showing up as first priority in BIOS.
