Why do so many programs use more than one decimal point for their revision numbers? What does each additional decimal point mean?
When I check to see what version something is, I usually get some crazy number like 1.0.2.01.
Is a 4690k worth it over a 4460 if all I'm gonna be doing is gaymen and Photoshop?
Nothing heavier than that and my i5 2400 seems to be doing that fine right now.
And I would save about $100 if I go with the 4460+H97 board vs 4690k+Z97 board..
What you say senpai?
>>52153158
If you don't plan on overclocking go for the 4460.

What mp3 players other than the sansa clip+, would you recommend?
I want something light and small and a microsd slot would be a big plus.
Hopefully something not too expensive.
Are there any good laptops under 500$? I don't give a shit about games, the only thing I'll run there is LoL.
>>52152908
The different decimals are different level of revision. There's no set meaning for what each decimal stands for other than the first number is the most major revision and the further to the right in the number you go the more minor the revision.
Say you have 1.x.y
1.x.y+1 could be a bug fix
1.x+1.0 could be new features like an equalizer on a music player
1.x+1.1 could be a fix for a bug that caused the program to crash when the equalizer was adjusted while the program was on its period
2.0.0 could be changing the UI from command line to a GUI
You might want to look up Linux kernel version numbers. They've changed their scheme over the years. This will show you how arbitrary this type of shit can be.

Mozilla are planning to overhaul the Firefox UI backend to port it from their XUL technology to Gecko technology. Mozilla are planning to overhaul the Firefox addons system and the consequence is that not all the features that were possible in the past are possible in the future. Mozilla are planning to remove custom theming support in Firefox.
This is the last Mozilla supported version of Firefox that's going to be supporting all these technologies and will be supported by Mozilla themselves.

>>52153748
Firefox ESR is still worth using, I use it myself because I simply can't stand what Firefox has turned into past v39 so I'll be "stuck" using this for quite a while. They're at 43.x now and when they get to 45 they'll end up releasing a new ESR based on 45 and I won't be moving to it.
Sad to see how shitty Firefox is becoming but at least for the moment I've still got ESR in a usable not fucked up form, it'll just end up being my browser for the future I suppose whether they drop updates for it or not.

How does it work when you want to add another ram-stick to your system..

Question regarding KeePassX: from what I understood, you set a master password which you use to access the other saved passwords?
Where does it save the passwords? Local database? If it's local, is there a way to access the passwords remotely, say if I visited a friend and needed to log in to a site with a password generated by KeePassX which I obviously won't remember?

KeePassX stores passwords in flatfile databases with the .kdb extension.
If you need to access your database remotely, you can put your .kdb file on a cloud hosting service and use a mobile app to open the file from your phone. For Android, I recommend KeePassDroid. It works well, has a nice UI, and is FOSS.

I wonder if someone has an explanation for this.
Every time I start up my laptop (openSUSE, btw), I have to take care that it connects to the Internet before I open Firefox.
If I open Firefox before the wifi connects (doesn't happen to other browsers, btw) it will act as though there is no connection to the Internet.
So... What do?
>>52157867
Bump for same problem on suse
>>52157881
I can't be certain it's an exclusively openSUSE problem since I think the same was true when I was using Fedora not too long ago. Maybe KDE is connected somehow though (can't remember if it was still true when I used Fedora with GNOME).

>If you're using the gui

>try setting up the eth0 files
eth0 is my network interface. What are eth0 files? Files that explicitly define my eth0 device?
>>52158068
I've never taken the time to try openSUSE before, so I don't know if they have the exact same names, but if you have wireless, you can create the file (eth1 would be onboard)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
(syntax)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name>
and add this inside
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

How do i dynamic ip
>>52158126
dynamic is automatic. Be more specific
>>52158145
Let's say i want my ip to change automaticaly every hour or so
>>52158162
You can change your private IP (192.168.0.1) as you please. You cannot change your public IP. That is provided by your ISP
>>52158162
Local or public IP? The latter depends on your ISP. Usually you can just change the router's MAC address, otherwise you might need to turn off the box for who knows how many hours.
For the former you can likely find some rotation setting in the router.
>>52158191
i am really bad at these things.
I can change local but not public right ?
>>52158191
What can i do to be more autismous ?

>>52158219
You MIGHT change public (depending on your ISP), you definitely can change local/private.
>>52158242
so back to question how do i make my local ip change every hour or something like that ?
>>52158102
Should I put the interface I'm using?
I can't see how this will help solve Firefox acting as though there's no Internet if I start it before a connection is made, but I'll try.
>>52158302
Visit your gateway address. Something like 192.168.0.1 and look around in the router configuration.

Dropped my Note 4 because I'm a dumbass and had to buy a replacement lcd.

I'm aware that you can't know if I did something wrong without looking at it, but is it possible that they just shipped me a faulty replacement screen?

Whether yes, you are fucked bro. Stop synchronization, backup bookmarks into html file, save add-ons settings (I mean: filters and such) into simple text file, not .ini or similar settings file, then delete sync data, restore browsers' defaults and start the game from the beginning.

So I just got my Network+ and I'm planning on getting a second certificate. I was mostly considering the Security+ because my eventual end goal is to be a contractor/doing security consulting or something where I can work like 10 hours a week and make loadsamoney. Although now I'm kind of iffy on if I should actually get the Security+ while having no experience or if I should go more horizontal but vendor specialized and go after the CCNA, or maybe in terms of security the CEH would be better?
>>52160054
Also as a note I'm getting the certificate and a bootcamp training course for the certificate paid for by some department of labor funding stuff so that's the reason I'm getting a second is to take advantage of that.

If you have two computers on your network connected through a wireless switch (which is itself connected through Wifi to the router) do the two computers need to send the data back and forth through the router when doing file transfers, or do they only use the short fast wired route?
>>52160295
The short fast wired route
>>52160112
Thanks! Good luck to you too. My tips for it are make sure you memorize all your acronyms since the test ONLY uses them, and if you know what it stands for it makes some questions trivial. Also when taking it only do questions you know right away for sure and flag the ones you have to think about and the simulation stuff and then come back to that at the end. You get like a minute per question so it's pretty easy to not be able to finish every question if you get stuck on one too long and the simulations suck to navigate so they take like 2 minutes at least.
Otherwise, material itself isn't too hard and you only kinda have to be careful about parsing it as they word basically every question in a "real world situation" context which makes it so you have to read it a couple times occasionally.
But yeah, based off this http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/information-security-certifications,2-205.html
I'm kinda starting to not consider the Security+ since it seems kinda dry job wise and what I've found most of them are military/government jobs too.

Go into the home directory and make sure the file you downloaded is there. Even easier would be to type

which will locate where the file is.

Now, this is kind of disappointing. I thought there would be many opportunities in the corporate world with an expertize on security.
>>52160363
Different guy, but to expand on that, the only times the computers on the switch would touch the router is if they're within a different broadcast domain to the computer they're connecting to or if the router is doing the DHCP leasing. You can probably assume your switch is a Layer 3 switch since it itself has Wi-Fi connectivity so in that case the switch itself has a table of the IPs of the computers connected to it and sends it between them based upon that.

I was just mostly saying specifically for the Security+ certificate outside of the military and gov't there's less demand than I though, and mainly I think the military gov't demand is because it meets a security clearance regulation.

How big a deal is the Steam Holiday Sale?
I'm not gaymer, but I wanted to play some gaymes on my chinkpad and ran into this list:
http://store.steampowered.com/curator/6867599-Works-on-your-Toaster/?appid=227780
Seems they're practically giving these games away. I've been thinking of doing a clean install of Windurrs, so can I purchase the games without downloading them so I can play them in the future?
>>52160727
yes.
I usually wait for sales. Instead of 60euros I can get games for like 25.
All you need is a bit of patience when there's no sale running.
>>52160727
Yup, they'll all be connected to your Steam account and you'll have them there until Steam dies.
Go wild.
Recommended games from there:
FTL
Mount & Blade Warband
Mark of the Ninja
Cave Story+
Deus Ex
Portal
Torchlight
System Shock 2
I need to backup few partitions (multiboot), I read that Clonezilla is often recommended for being newbie-friendly, but after reading its page I found it's not what I need, beacuse mainly
>The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.
>Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet.
and maybe
>Due to the image format limitation, the image can not be explored or mounted.
Can you recommend me fairly easy-to-use backup software that backups whole partitions, but only data on them? (So if I have 20GB used on 100GB partition, it will just "clone" that 20GB)
>>52160771
>I usually wait for sales
So, I'll see these prices again?
Steam is like the Kohl's of digital games isn't it? (Where everyone who's shopped there before knows the MSRP can be ignored because it will always go on sale.)
I'm only asking because I'd have to run out to 7-11 and buy a prepaid VISA since I don't like linking my debit card to things.
>>52160782
I was mostly in it for the platformers and maybe SimCity and Altitude. Appreciate the suggestions though! (Wouldn't have considered FTL and Torchlight otherwise, played Portal already though)

why are the corners fucked in vmware and how do I fix them?
>>52160904
games are on sale all the time, winter and summer is just where a lot of them are on sale at the same time.
for old games look at gog.com aswell, they often do sales too and have most classic games very cheap and DRM free.
>>52160660
I see, thanks for the clarification. I guess it's normal since Security+ is considered entry-level if i'm not wrong. I've looked at your link and i misread 102,393 because of the misplaced comma.
I still have no idea which path to take and i'm pretty worried. I know it's best to specialize in something but i really need to start as soon as possible to not waste any time.
Also, some other questions for anyone who is reading this:
Will i encounter any problems in the IT field without a degree? How fast is someone able to climb up if you keep learning without falling to the comfort zone?
The only people in my life are my friends and my family. I'm not married and i'm not planning to. I'll be dedicating most of my time to my work/study and my hobbies, the rest of it to my friends and my family when i'll travel back to my country.
I don't know if this belongs in a stupid questions thread, but here I go.

You don't have to link your card, you can just do one time payments. You can also use PayPal if you have that. There's also Steam Wallet cards which you buy for like $20, $50, or $100 and you get that amount in your account to use, so if you do go out I'd get that over a prepaid VISA.
this is my first time using a somewhat higher end grafix card
why does my asus strix gtx 970 make a funky clink/pop sound once it hits the 60 degree mark?
It will keep making this sound at random intervals unless I alt tab out of the game and let the temp go back down below 60

It shouldn't make a sound, RMA it.

Is your computer using both wired and wireless connections at the same time? That can cause some pages to not load.

How can this be?
Why can't we make it work?
I at least need the brightness settings to work.
I have a bunch of scrapped wifi cards from older laptops maybe one of them fits the form-factor.
Can someone help me find out what the issue could be with my Brightness settings?
I go into the "brightness" file and changed it from 50 to 10 and overwrote it and nothing changed.

Is Linux on an Android smartphone viable? Is a dual-boot possible? Android lacks so many things in comparison (a window manager, viable applications, good kb+mouse support, good gamepad support) that it's almost sad.

Are elements in an array copies of the objects you specify in C++? I always thought they were just pointers to the actual objects, but I ran into an issue when trying to draw an object to the window.
This wouldn't draw the object:Object object = Object();
Object arry[5];
arry[0] = object;
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
arry[i].draw(window);
}
This did:Object object = Object();
Object * arry[5];
arry[0] = &object;
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
{
arry[i]->draw(window);
}
It sort of makes sense, but I was hoping someone could elaborate on it a little more, and googling the question turned up unrelated stuff.
how long should i expect it to take take to move components from one a stock build to a new case with fully modular psu and new liquid cooler?

should i expect like 3hours or more like 6? It's my first move/build but im not totally incompetent. trying to plan a day around it

post the TVs supported containers and formats.
Mine only supported mpeg2 so I stuck a raspberry on it.
>>52162836
Sorry I'm really ignorant when it comes to stuff like this. So I'm not too sure, it supports 1080p if that's what you're asking
>>52163074
Containers: avi, mpg, mkv, mp4, webm
Codecs: h264, divx, vp8, vp9, mpeg2, mpeg4
etc.
it if supports h264 but only mp4 you can easily remux to make them playable.
>>52163115
OK I got a h264 mp4 working through the USB port
>>52162422
>I put in my SIM
Expect knock on the door and slap on the wrist then. You won't proof it's found not stolen and even if it is the first, you just proofed your desire of benefit. It's all logged. Not that cops have nothing to do but there may be some time after that phone is reported stolen that exact IMEI is searched for, logs assign your SIM card (it's IMSI) with it, then your personal details by carrier.
I don't even then.
how relevant is 64-bit android support? i'm debating between a z3 compact (2.5 ghz snapdragon 801 and a moto g 3rd gen (1.4ghz snapdragon 410, 64-bit).
>>52163396
But it's like a day and night, Anon. Still, I use Z1C, only a tiny little bit inferior to Z3C and I wouldn't switch for anything Android again in next year. The difference is neglectible and it's still far from iOS quality.
is the smallest signed integer number, base 8, that can be stored in a byte variable 200o?
>>52163459
what is like day and night? i'm a bit confused as your last sentence says the difference is negligible. i prefer the android ui to ios, but freely admit android is not perfect.
>>52152487
Whats a good place to get original w7 iso's? Digitalriver doesnt work anymore for those unaware.
>>52163509
It's late here, forgive if I shit-type something. :^)
I meant Z3C is quite superior to that Moto in terms of powertrain (CPU, RAM), quick charge and better battery, more compact size. On the other hand, Motorola should be cheap.
In no way I meant to force you to go iOS route, I just wanted to share my experience after using Z1C and S5 for long time that no matter what you buy, it's still far from what you could expect from phone with such price tag because Android do is imperfect and the weaker phone, the (even more) worse it performs.
Negligible (not neglectible, lol) - I wanted to say: "each newer top spec Android phone is only a bit better than previous, the OS itself is still full of bugs and more prone to anything goind bad than iOS".
Just like everybody has got their opinion, here's mine.
>>52163829
late here too friendo :^)
i'm conflicted, because the 3rd gen g already has marshmallow i think. and sony seem slow with updates. and i've read bad things about the z3c build quality, which puts me off. the phone size is perfect though.
the bugs ... yeah. which is why i like the moto g. great dev community, and they will probably put android 7 or whatever on it. z3c community seems lacking.
where does the money come from in infosec? It's kind of aggrevating seeing social media apps generate millions--even billions--for useless garabge. Where does a retarded anon look in order to start a business in security? Is it just a matter of starting some kind of server storage device and charging business per month to use it?
>>52162003
>geforce gt 640
Hmmmm.
Just make sure what ever don't build it around that junk.
Build your computer to be able to run future hardware, because one day you'll want to throw that graphics card out.
>>52163938
>and sony seem slow with updates
I heard the opposite, but never cared enough to look into it, I'm just stuck with this Z1C @ 5.1.1 for long. If you are into dev communities, good for you, if the price on the Moto is reasonable - go for it. In my humble, not drunk but hardly considered opinion, it's a win-win: cheap hardware, cutting-edge (although not super fast) software.
Btw, happy new year - from a Polandball.
It's this cap leaking? Monitor flashes and off at anything higher than 800x600 and that resolution gets super fuzzy. I know it's the monitor and not gpu.
>>52164306
well, i'm fine with no dev community if sony release marshmallow on the z3c fairly quickly.
i'm currently stuck with a galaxy ace ii and it's slow as shit.
happy new year to the second best country in the world.

Regarding applications which have to be launched from a terminal but always open a separate window (like mpv or mupdf). One can either:
1. Launch a new terminal whenever running such an application (which seems stupid)
2. Always run such applications in the background, in which case you have to keep track of the terminal you launched them from so you don't accidentally close it, and append '&' to every command (which seems stupid)
3. Same as above but disown the application every time, in which case you always have to append "disown" (which seems stupid)
Am I missing something here? How do you usually do it?
>>52164588
Create bootable USB
Remove all drives but SSD
install Windows
Make sure is boot drive in bios
Reinstall HDD
Copy over all files
Wipe HDD
Copy files back to HDD or leave as is
Make periodic backups or find program to do so
what do

I think anon means RAIDZ, which is somewhat analogous to RAID5, and internal to zfs.
Or if they aren't, they should look it up.
Also, that's plenty of RAM for such a setup.

So I've been trying to play some games lately on voobly and steam, and they both keep asking me to forward some ports to connect to some players.
I'm fairly computer illiterate, and I've currently got my computer hardlined into the router via some cat-5 looking thing I found lying around, and it seems to connect to the internet just fine.
I never had problems before I moved when I had my laptop lined into my old modem-router 2-in-1. So why is it asking to forward ports all of the sudden, and making me play through proxies?
Could it be because the router I'm using now is different and I think connects to a modem somewhere?
>>52165646
Yes correct :)
>>52165332
FWIW I think ceph recommends 1GB of RAM per TB of raw storage, and ceph is a pig.

Hey /sqt/, Happy New Year.
I'm really really in a pickle searching for how to find a program or other such thing to adjust over/underscanning. My friend's tv cuts off about a taskbar's width of content on all sides when we use HDMI.
I got a 9590 and a H60 Water Cooler for it. I'm not sure if my motheboard, M5A99FX PRO R2.0, or the cooler is having the issue. I underclocked from 4.7 to 4.4 GHz and the system is stable now but I want to up the clocking back to normal.
Googling 9590 and M5A99FX PRO R2.0 brings up a bunch of problems with the combo on Tom's Hardware, but I'm not sure which is the problem. I'm pretty sure the H60 isn't enough for the thing, so I was planning to up it to a better cooler, but I wanted to know if it could just be the motherboard not handling the voltage well and overheating.
Any help?

You tried in menu tv settings? What kind of GPU? Ik Nvidia/Intel/AMD has in their control panels options to fix this
>>52165902
Did you try increasing the pump interval? How many fans/what is the fan speed? If the fan is automatic what is controlling the automatic increase in rpm? mobo?
>>52165915
I have the TV is a shitty Samsung.
I've got a Nvidia card, but I can't find shit in the Nvidia control panel. When I got to the Intel panel and select the TV display and do a custom resolution. It always gives me an error

>Did you try increasing the pump interval? How many fans/what is the fan speed? If the fan is automatic what is controlling the automatic increase in rpm? mobo?
I tried messing with the damn thing and it wouldn't change no matter what I applied to the damn thing. I have no idea what controls it but even messing with the mobo didn't change the speed for some reason.

No, it wasn't Hola garbage, it was something else.

Well, nothing like that showed in the BIOS. I'll keep looking around for how to force them to switch at some point.
Thanks again though! Be safe tonight if you go out or whatever.
Is there a way to prevent the Windows Explorer getting written into the Swap/Pagefile? Like what did those stupid pieces of shit think when they developed Vista. As if the Windows Explorer is that big that it's justified to be written into the pagefile even though it's constantly needed. Especially when not even all of my memory is used i don't see a reason why it should be swapped. Every time I open my browser everything behind it is written into the pagefile. If I minimize the browser again after a while the explorer needs a minute again to be loaded into the memory. Only then I can use it again for simple shit like pressing the start button or opening folders. This has to stop.
>>52166314
try disabling the onboard GPU driver. GL tho
Are there any websites that would allow me to use cURL to convert a png to a jpg? Like:curl -F'url=https://i.4cdn.org/g/1451549658331.png' https://pngtojpg.io

Unless you're running a serious memory deficit, it won't page the active program to disk. So it shouldn't be necessary. If it pages it to disk while you're in CoD or excel, why would you care?
Also, buy more RAM. It's cheap.
