Stupid Questions Thread

I use foobar2000,
Before this FUCKING DUMB BITCH dumped me,
she deleted random ass music from my collection,
She knows I have bad OCD and it IS really fucking with me,
I copied foobar and it should have the list of songs, How do I compare that list to the one I will currently have?
>30,000~ songs
So I have a Thecus 2310 NAS, two 4TB WD greens in JBOD.
When I transfer files between my laptop and it over wifi I get speeds of around 30mbps, pretty decent since my router only does 65mbps max so i know the transfer speed is sufficient. However When I try to stream stuff on smplayer it stutters every few minutes, even streaming a 300mb episode of something. Adjusting the cache size doesn't seem to help what gives?

Would it be stupid to go from an R7 260X 2GB to an R9 380 2GB instead of a 4GB just because of a sale. Is 4GB gonna really necessary soon?
Is my A10 7850K gonna bottleneck the R9 280X I just picked up?

My resolution is 1080. No plan for anything higher at the moment.
>>51446778
I doubt you'll need 4 GB
Still why not save a bit more get the R9 380X? It came out a few days ago.
>>51446865
Oh, I dunno. The 2GB 380 is 125 so it seemed like a deal. Couple that with selling my old gpu for around 70-80 I'd be paying around 65. But I guess I could wait on the 380X...

It's really good for 1080p but $230.
So I mean if you can get a 380 for $125 go for it.
I want to sell my MSI gs60 ghost-007 to build a gaming desktop and buy a thinkpad. Originally I bought it for $1200 (I think on sale). How much can I get for it and how where should I sell it?

Is it possible remount a fan from one frame to another fan's frame?
I ask because about a month ago a cable got caught in my 140mm CPU fan (which has 120mm hole spacing). Consequently 1 blade broke, but thermal performance didn't change drastically. (Or at least I didn't notice a huge difference.) Now the fan wobbles and make really awful creaking sounds, most likely because the fan blade balance has been affected for a month now.
I'm a cheap bastard. I got a spare 140mm case fan, but it has 140mm hole spacing, and won't fit on the wire retainers on the fan clips.
Is there any way to splice the 140mm fan from the 140mm frame into a my broken 140mm fan's 120mm frame?

What sorts of hardware do you need to run Skyrim on PC at a normie FPS? My friend is interested but I only do MCMC simulations and turn based strategy - no knowledge of CPU/GPU combos...except that you assholes will say something about 10nm i7 with over 9000gb.
>>51447224
>normie FPS?
kek.
>9000GB
Can you please indicate which part of a CPU contains more than 1 GB?
I run Skyrim perfectly fine on a Xeon E3 1220 and a 650Ti
>>51447216
just niggerrig it with some zipties
>>51447216
>>51447281
Basically. My CPU fan died a few monthes ago and the worst thing I had to do was take another fan from inside my case and stick it where the old one went. Sure the airflow isn't as good and it's a bit of a hackjob, but whatever works,and it's probably cheaper than buying a new fan.
>>51447281
Tried that, but my zip ties are the big fat thick ones I bought to really zip the shit out of thick power supply cables and such.
They won't fit between the fins, nor will it even insert into the screw hole of the fan.
I'd rather not spend $3 of gas to buy a $8 jumbo bag of tiny zip ties just to get 4 zip ties that I need. That's half a 140mm fan with 120mm mounting holes.

>>51447451
steambox? A wireless media/file server is so handy, I can stream stuff to my tv using my playstation, to my laptop, to a desktop pc, to my phone even. It's all centralised. I realised using JBOD is not the best but I have everything important backed up properly anyway so I'd rather have a bigger array over redundancy.
It's little fuss with the exception of this annoying buffering problem I'm having. I can copy the movie from the server to my laptop in less than a minute, but on playback it stutters. It's fucking killing me.

Stupid question true reality this is what I actually want to know:
I have a budget of about $900. I have a computer that has some parts I like and some parts I don't fucking know what's best and what's terrible. I spend a lot of time photoshopping and video editing, but that's basically it. I just get bored and "play around." Nothing gets published in any capacity. No tumblrs or drawthreads.
ANYWAY, the key part of the last paragraph was "I get bored." I want to play and edit games, again, for my own amusement. I specify this because I don't want you to think I'm some youtuber who is out to get the best quality AND to capture it all. I just want to play one game, and I want to mod that one game.
Let's say, hypothetically, I wanted to play and mod Fallout 3 (and, of course, New Vegas), what would be the optimal assortment and configuration of parts? I assume I need a new CPU, and graphics card. what else do I need to know? If those are the parts I should go new on, what should I get?
I said the bad words. I said "Fallout 3." The answers I get will not be nice. I'm stupid, as per the thread theme.
I've recently heard something on here about how Nvidia driver 359.00 had some less than small bugs when playing games. Is there a source on this? The drivers that geforce experience wants me to install is Geforce Game Ready Driver 359.00 if it helps.

Trying to get ahoviewer working with webm's and rar's. Apparently it cant find them when I run ./bootstrap:
checking for gstreamer ... no
checking for unrar/dll.hpp ... no
checking for libunrar/dll.hpp ... no
and those features don't work after compiling. I'm not sure why it cant find gst as I have what I assume to be all the needed packages for it. As for unrar, I think i managed to install this https://github.com/vilkov/libunrar (I assume this is what it wants), but what I did didn't make those specific files (I made libunrar.so).
If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong that would be great.
Windows user here, wanna try out Ubuntu. As a rough estimate, how much hdd space should I reserve for what, at the very least? Like, size of swap partition, and how big should the system partition be if I want to be on the safe side?
Or wait, let's rephrase that. I got ~500GB free space for an Ubuntu install. How should I partition that for Ubuntu?
>>51448632
Just give Ubuntu the 500GB and go with what it sets up, worry about partitioning when you know what will be best for your needs. You'll be reinstalling when you learn more about Linux anyway
>>51448679
*worry about custom partitioning
>>51448630
Do you have all the -dev packages you need?
>>51448632
like >>51448679 says the defaults are sensible
but if you want to get autismal:
You don't need a swap partition if you have enough memory. A typical partitioning scheme is to separate / and /home. The system (and installed programs, which can get quite big in the case of video games) go in / and all user files go in /home.
I'm DMing for my group of friends,
I like to play background music but my laptop speakers are shit. We also don't usually meet at my place.
What's the best portable solution that would sound decent?
>>51448719
Ah. I was missing one. It can find gst now, which i suppose was the more important issue. Still no idea about unrar though.
Hey /g/ I just sent in this along with my resume, I'm pretty sure given the description and asking for someone proficient in photoshop that they want someone for retouching high school photos
I did this in like 5 minutes using the clonestamp and content aware fill.
Anywhere I can go to learn more about retouching pictures of people? I'm not in any way artistically inclined so that's my main downfall, and the fact that I've never really done this before
>>51448679
>>51448719
Thanks, I'll try the defaults then. I was a bit worried about proper partitioning because the last time I tried linux it was some ancient Suse distro where you had to configure partitions manually.

Say I put these test tables in a database. Why wouldn't it be a one-to-one relation? The ids in both tables have to be unique within the table, so be default wouldn't that mean only one id can be associated with the other id and vice-versa without any sort of duplicates? I can't see why this wouldn't be 1-to-1 but reverse engineering it in mysql always gives a one-to-many relation.create table test(
id int not null,
name varchar(15),
primary key (id)
);
create table test2(
id int not null,
description varchar(20),
primary key (id),
foreign key (id) references test(id)
);

Now getting a make error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLESv2
likely because none of the libgles* packages are installed. Doing so would remove libglapi-mesa for a newer version, however, a shitload of other things depend on the older version unfortunately, so it wants me to remove them as well.
The second option it gives me is in the pic.
I guess my question is now whether or not I should go forward with this, or if it will break everything.
>>51448808
you rarely need one-to-one and have them separated into two tables.
besides that reverse engineering tool in workbench isn't perfect anyway.

>>51449125
So what you're saying is functionally it'll work out the same as long as there are multiple tables? That's good to hear, along with the fact that the reverse engineering might be the problem as well. Thank you.

Unless you're using an old version, it might be the bitcoin miner they added to it a while ago.

If you do have epicscale installed do this
http://www.howtogeek.com/211363/how-to-remove-utorrents-epicscale-crapware-from-your-computer/?
However it probably wouldn't be using that much memory, so the culprit is probably something else.

No idea, but doubt it.
IIRC the bitcoin miner is a seperate process, but I can't be assed to look it up for confirmation.

Best thing I do with the few drives I've dropped like that is push some stuff to it I really want backed up, then put them away.

How to configure mpv to work best with xf86-video-ati on RV630? Is there anything to do or use default?
The old WinXP machine I used to control my 3D-Printer doesn't start up anymore. Black screen, no beeping (I haven't found a bios speeker anyways). Just all fans running at max speed like they usually do for ~2 seconds but now they do it full time.
I tried powering it up with everything but PSU, CPU and graphics card disconnected (MB has no RGB output) but I got the same result. PSU and graphics card are tested and work fine I can't find any obviously dead caps either. Anything else I can try?

I'm too scared to build it myself. Thermal paste is one of the things that scares me the most.
Prebuilt (if reputable seller) means I won't have to deal with compatibility issues
I get a free win 8.1 key. This may not seem like a plus to you, but I'd never feel safe enough to use my credit card online with a pirated windows.
IF I actually get to save anything, it will be pocket change at best, since chain stores gets bulk discounts. I'll gladly pay that pocket change to have it assembled for me.

>>51451111
not the guy you were responding to, but you should know that most hardware stores offer you to build it for you for like 20 bucks. you'll save money on the parts, get the parts you actually want and you don't have to build it.

>thermal paste scares me
come on son, really? it's easy as hell. there are literally hundreds of guides to teach you how, and if you're really worried, just run some benchmarking software to stress the cpu and get it hot to see how it cools

If you're a massive pussy and want to keep yourself from learning, they will build your PC for you, lightly cable manage it, and test it for stability before shipping it to you for a $50 fee.

i want to create a rather simple website is a service to a large group of people working within a specific industry.
how do i figure out 'everything' ? all i have is a very clear idea of what i want and very solid design skills. i need to know these:
- what to pay a competent reliable developer?
- what running expenses would be attached (domain name, hosting etc) ?
btw i'm not asking for answers to these questions (you'd need much more info etc). i'm basically asking where to ask these questions, lol.
i'm willing to pay somebody 100$ for 2 hours of their time to give me a written consultation-reply-email thing, but i just don't know where to look for a reliable person that really knows what they are talking about.

1. Will that website be only 2-3 page with information or will there be some database/application on the website?
2. Hosting is cheap. very cheap. Domain is bought on godaddy or namecheap, it costs like $10/year. Hosting is like $3/month.

A competent, reliable, web developer?
First thing first, know that most web devs are petty shits because they get used by a lot of smaller/medium sized businesses who don't think they need to pay once the work has been finished.
Second, you're probably looking at $30/hour if you do hourly, but quite frankly it's hit or miss. Look for webdevs who have websites they've done in the past for reference. You should try to get a quote on the price once you've both come to understand what you want.
Now, I'm not sure if I've completely understood your questions -
Are you looking to hire a webdev long term for maintaining and managing a website? because I'm assuming you're looking for a freelance job to design a site and you handle it from there.
Running expenses are next to negligible on a small scall. On a large scale, it's worth looking into infrastructure as a service (IaaS)

how the fuck can we know your needs?
>>51451358
>>51451466
I really need trustworthy information though, you can only reliably get that by being willing to pay for a professionals time.
1. the website will be simple visually but the underlying mechanics might be a little more complex. it will essentially be a service for people within an industry to peer review eachothers products, either anonymously (say you want to evaluate how competitive your product/service is) or with name attached. the idea is then that the system calculates the rating by considering the reviewers rating. am i making sense? it's a little hard to explain without disclosing everything. i'm not super worried about 'someone stealing my idea' because it relly only works within a very niche industry but i still rather keep a low profile for now (i'm not after profit although i think the idea is valuable).
2. i know domains are cheap i own some of those however i'm getting mixed feedback with hosting?? the amount of data i'd need to host is not massive, but not entirely neglible either... i think. shit this stuff is confusing for me...
>>51451466
30/hour is totally what i would be willing to pay, rather than flat rate (i'd feel like any web dev working for a fixed price will be somewhat shitty and amateurish because i'd expect there to be quite a bit of back and forth and fixing near the end, right?
does the site require maintenance or management? design wise (visuals) i would deliver everything, i'd just need a freelance dev to code it and deliver it to me... if that's how it works. does user interaction require for a page to be mantained?
how do i deteermine wether my needs are small scale or large scale?
thanks a ton for your help already guys
What is a good download manager? I used to use Jdownloader a few years back, but once they started doing adware bundled in, I got rid of it. Whether it's a program or a firefox addon, I'm fine with so long as it's good.
>>51451897
User interaction does not require a page to be maintained.
What sort of traffic are you expecting? If you really have no idea, you need some that is scalable (see amazon ec2).
If you can give a webdev a decent mock-up of the website (whether it be through drawing or some mspaint job) then that is absolutely fine. If you have resources ready for them to use (images, etc.) then they'll be able to use them as you want. Hell, if you have a frontend already completed and just need them to implement a application to review eachothers products, then you can still find someone.
Now, for actually finding a person, two choices - Freelance, or firms. I'm hesitant to refer you to anyone, because honestly, it's best you look yourself and see their portfolios and decide if it's worth it to you. Big name firms are expensive, something that might be more reasonable would be along the longs of SumatoSoft.

Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not hating on you for whatever you want to do with the views, I'm just saying you'll be able to find skids selling them.
Essentially the only way to get pageviews without being banned is to have them trickle in over time and slowly trickle out to the point where they stop.
Realistically, you would need a botnet, because proxies are obvious & a single location refreshing a page is a quick way to get caught.

>How botnet is 8.1 compared to 7?
by now they're the same. windows 8.0 has the least botnet, since gwx.exe and other windows 10 related updates like telemetry are not present. 8.0 performs better than 7 and almost the same as 8.1
>>51453097
Isn't 8.0 a bit wonky though? I mean, everyone went on how shit it was before 8.1 was out.
But I mean, disabling all the updates and stuff from either. Are they about they about the same or does 8.1 has a lot more botnet "built in" compared to 7?
>>51453117
've been using 8.0 since it came out and never had any complains. the biggest issue for people was the 'missing' start menu (in my opinion metro is superior, but that's just me). runs all the latest games and allows for all the customization i need. i had more problems with 8.1 (e.g. my laptop wouldn't shut down properly due to driver issues).
if you're going to disable all the updates, which i wouldn't recommend, windows 7 has the least amount botnet/bloat.

I need a monitor somewhere between 7 and 14 inch that's portable so I can connect a raspi to it just about anywhere.

Are USB external HDDs reliable for backups? Or should I buy a regular old internal HDD instead.
How's this for a setup?
>Buy SSD, clean install of OS (Linux & small Win 10 partition for compatibility / future proof)
>Use current HDD as generic storage & duplicate some important stuff on the SSD.
>Buy a new external HDD / cheap internal one, do full backup on there and put it in a safe place.
At the moment everything is spread over memory sticks and an aging external drive & various old DVDs. There's no coherency (but I don't have anything that important either)
>>51453509
If you can live with the super-high latencies, maybe a USB screen would work for you?
>>51453544
>USB external HDDs reliable for backups
I've had mixed luck with external drives. Most seem okay for occasional back-ups only, but I've had two die prematurely without any warning.
I actually use a 960GB SSD in an external enclosure through an eSATA (not SATA Express) for back-ups and storing semi-frequently used programs. The good thing about that is you can plug it in continuously and have it run the same as a normal internal drive.
I'm pretty sure you can do the same for hard drives with a USB 3.0 enclosure (platter drives will never be able to saturate USB 3.0 or eSATA), since external drives tend to have poor-reliability drives to save costs.
Apart from expensive NAS enclosures, most external drives aren't meant to be running for more than a few hours a week.
>>51453509
I'd rather not, and those are quite expensive as well. I actually just need like, a tablet but without the ability to run software and just connect that to a hdmi port.
I found www.amazon.com/Tontec%C2%AE-Raspberry-Display-AT070TN90-Controller/dp/B00G60FJNG, but the fact that the internals are exposed makes it real nasty.

Don't buy unless you're getting an ultrawide screen. A 16:9 screen really doesn't benefit from being curved without getting ridiculously close to the panel. In my opinion, a 21:9 screen needs a curve, especially if you're using an IPS monitor.

Typically files will often be spread across multiple platters, so quite a bit of data would still be lost.
Weird that you can see everything, somehow the directory is still accessable maybe?
If it really is just a malfunctioning head that isn't affecting the platters you would have very good chances with data recovery services, but I'm sure you know that isn't cheap.

Hello /g/,
Does anyone have insight into why games would suddenly cap themselves to 24fps when run in Borderless Windowed mode when they used to never do so before?
This is universal across all games and they all used to run exactly the same in fullscreen or borderless at 60+ fps (I push 144 for less intensive games).
I have dual monitors but it never used to do it before and I have messed with switching main displays and plugging into diff ports on the 980 ti.
Good day /g/entlemen. I come to you looking for direction. Long and short of it, I'm pretty sure my Mobo is fuckered after a move. I didn't have much of a choice and brought my computer with me on a day and a half bus ride and I've gone through several hours of troubleshooting to try and get life back into the system. I'm pretty sure she's dead at this point and I'm wanting to just move on and rebuild, almost from the ground up.
However, I want to rebuild with a purpose. I wish to do twitch/youtube streaming of games and still be able to play them at decent settings. Where would I be able to find information on what sort of setup would be good for this sort of thing? I ask here since it's technically a general quick questions thread.
