>>52277657
I'm running nginx 1.9.9 and mariadb 10.1 on debian 8.

Hey, I encoded that webm! Nice pick, anon.

int sum = 0;
for(;n>0;n--)
{
sum = sum + n;
}
/*also tried printing sum on this line*/
return sum;
}
I'm trying to make a simple iterative sum so that if user inputs n=5 it will return 5+4+3+2+1=15. Anyone can tell me why doesn't this work?

I'm going to write a tool which will try to detect encryption being used for files in the future, particularly single files rather than full volumes
Would anyone recommend an encryption program for doing single files rather than full volumes, it's meant to be a scenario where you could encrypt the file > upload to dropbox > and then download and decrypt with the password
I've had a look at TrueCrypt which is discontinued and VeraCrypt seems to be the new one - but that looks like it does volumes only too? Any ideas?
>>52277950

It depends on the size, condition, and speed of the drive. It can vary like crazy. I'd say your disk is damaged in some sectors.
Just rundd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=446 count=1
To destroy only the MBR. Takes two minutes. Unless you're some kind of recovery specialist you might get a file name alone or two, no data. Your drive is clean without the MBR

I've got two partitions on my hard drive, one WIndows and one Linux. If I want to clone them to another drive, is there anything special I need to keep in mind?
>>52278181
not a read/write deficiency. If I haven't accessed the RAID0 in a bit, it takes a moment for windows to come up with the file list.
You have two monitors to choose from. One is 24 inches, one is 27 inches; They both have the exact same specs otherwise, including refresh rate, response time, and resolution.
Which of the two would you personally buy, /g/?

>>52279044
Since it goes for 80-90€ I dont want to cross my fingers and hope my model works. Its a beautiful keyboard but that flaw would render it completely useless to me

I have a credit card with a penalty APR on it because I was dumb and missed a payment one month. I immediately paid the card balance off in full to avoid paying 30% on the thing, and a few months later asked about whether they could lower the APR back to what it was, but they said they can only re-evaluate the APR only 6 months (which may have been bullshit but I don't know)
Anyway it's been more than 6 months since then, do I have to bug them about it, or will they automatically re-evaluate it when they feel ready to? It's not like it's hurting me since the card has zero balance (and will continue to until they lower the interest rate on it) but it is a shame I can't use it if I wanted to, even though I do have others I prefer.

Mint only is you want Cinnamon.
Otherwise one of the *ubuntu flavors for easy access to PPAs.
To be honest, I'd advise against Mint even if you want Cinnamon because you can always install Cinnamon on something else. Mint comes with autistic repos that can be a bit of a pain to deal with.
Debian is good too, but accessing stuff outside the official repos isn't as easy as it is on *ubuntu. Not saying it isn't possible, you can definitely do it, it's just not as simple.

Why has '4k resolution gaming' become such a thing lately? I really feel like going over 1080p is such overkill when you consider the cost in frames.
Maybe the fact that I like to play at 144 hz on fast-paced competitive multiplayer games and dont' really care about Crysis 8/Metro 3000 or whatever is part of it, but even from that perspective isn't higher framerate mor enjoyable than big resolution at less than 100 frames?

did you have a password on your wifi? after a router reset the password resets too. so maybe the laptop is trying to connect using the old password. I don't know what os you're using but have you tried deleting the connection in the connection manager and then try reconnecting

Man, I'm starting to regret skimping out and getting a 128 gb ssd instead of 240, especially since I want to dual boot windows and linux. 20 GB would be enough for Linux, yeah?

What's a better Photoshop alternative, GIMP or Krita?

I had a question about MD5 and Sha1 fingerprint check sums for SSL certificates.
I'm trying to setup my email in thunderbird however a window came up stating the certificate my email providing was "unknown".
The checksums provided were different when I checked online using https://certlogik.com/ssl-checker/ and a few other websites.
Is there a reason for a SSL certificate for p0p3 to be different?
Do you know of anyway to confirm fingerprint checksums of SSL certificates?
>>52285324
GIMP is literally inspired by Photoshop, Krita is more user-friendly though, at least for me, I like it more. Maybe you should try both, Krita size is small anyway.

Hey /g/eeks, I need some help here:
So I'm 2nd year into Computer Science at a University. My plan was to focus into Networking and Distributing Systems and upon graduation work towards being a network architect.. However, $$$ is the #1 objective here and I am starting to realize that focusing in networking might not be utilizing my degree to bring in as much money as Id like (I want to make 6 figures as quickly as possible).
What should I do? Networking is what I like a lot, but how realistic is it to meet these income goals?
No, dont say fucking game design please god.
I would also not prefer to be chained to a desk coding 12 hours a day either.
Robotics perhaps?
Please help.
>>52285469
i have no fucking clue which of these temps is supposed to be my cpu
>>52285469

yeah figured it out. at least the temps on speedfan are realistic. i get around 55-70 under load on a stock cooler. how fucked am I? should i just not play until i get another cooler?

So, I'm looking at buying a new PC for my mother, she doesn't need a gaming PC, it'll be mostly for Netflix, Youtube and browsing Facebook or whatever, possibly play Tibia, but that shit will work on any PC.
I already have a GPU (nVidia GTX 660 Ti), PSU (500W) and a chassis lying around. We'll also use her old harddrive for now (she'll upgrade later). Now, what I for now is a CPU, Motherboard and RAM.
For the CPU, I've been lookin at "AMD Athlon X4 860k Black Ed. Socket-FM2+", people seem to think it's fairly good for the price. Do any of you have any experience with it? Or do you know of any better CPUs for around the same price?
As for motherboard, I've been looking at "Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H, Socket-FM2+", it seems like a solid choice, fits with the CPU and has PCIe-x16 for the GPU.
And for the RAM, I'll go for the
cheap Crucial BallistiX 8GB, should be fine.
Any of you have any pointers on things I should replace etc? The budget maxes out at around $300.

i have a 860k and that mobo. 860k is great since its decently powerful and cheap as dirt because it doesnt have integrated graphics. works fine but get an aftermarket cooler.
it gets to around 50-70 under load and the stock cooler is loud to the point where i thought it was overheating.

Oh, sweet! Do you have any tips on a reasonable aftermarket cooler?

I'm not sure, you could try to identify it by listening, although I think normally you'd turn the chair over and lube the piston-thingy so that it goes into the chair, and then like push it in and out.
I transferred a HDD from an old laptop to a newer one that had previously run win8.1. This laptop had a problem with the BIOS that made it unable to boot from any other OS but the original OEM image, but pulling the CMOS battery fixed that. The problem I am having is getting the nvidia drivers for the 840m to install and work alongside the intel graphics drivers. If I force windows to use the geforce driver it installs and should work but I cant actually use the GPU. Installing the Intel graphics drivers causes the 840m to have a code 43 in the device manager (googling this basically tells me "something went wrong"). I have tried uninstalling the drivers for both using DDU and reinstalling them a couple times. Windows updates didn't fix anything either.
Ive tried everything I can think of. any help is appreciated.
>>52286038
I have this setup.
It's a raspberry 2 with nginx 1.9.9, mariadb 10 (mysql a shit), and mono4 running asp.net applications.
I just installed debian8, compiled nginx myself, installed mariadb and mono4 with apt-get.
Then I made a systemd service which runs my asp.net service with fastcgi-mono-server4

For my discrete math class I need to prove that the quicksort algorithm will always produce a sorted list within at most n^2 iterations, for a list of n items. Anyone have any tips on how I can go about this?
>>52286110
Hmm, seems fairly big. I'll have to check the case. I think I have another case lying around that could fit it otherwise, worst case scenario I'll skip the aftermarket cooler and check how bad the sound is and make a decision after that. Thanks for the help man.
>>52286233
im sure there are other options if you just google around. i cant really enjoy vidya because i subconsciously keep thinking my cpu is going to melt even if the temp is like 60 c. its that fucking loud

I should also mention that on the OEM image the driver would handle switching from integrated to dedicated graphics when gaming. I think that has something to do with this, but I'm not sure.
So it's been 16 hours since I started to encrypt my phone. The whole time it's been showing the Android 6 boot animation (4 colourful dots). 10 GB of its storage are being used.
Nexus 5, stock Android 6 build mmb29s, rooted, custom recovery. I did everything like it said (fully charged, keep phone plugged in).
What the shit is going on? Should I just abort? Do I need to reflash the ROM afterwards?
>>52286493
Not familiar with encrypting a phone, but it should not take this long to encrypt a few GB of data. Something sounds wrong here.

>>52286862
I already use TrueCrypt, will it create conflicts if installed together? (does it actually have any additional features that TC doesn't already have?).
Though, I think it's too bloated for what I wanted to do, I just need a basic program for individual files with support for custom algorythms, even a CLI program would be fine.
>>52286887
Not much tbqh, I'm studying encryption and I wanted to RE a program that's simple and not bloated like TC and similar.

not as trustworthy as /g/. the criticism you get here may be harsh, but at least it's honest. on reddit you get banned for calling out a shit tier build

C/C++/C#/Python for a first language?
>>52287514
I've been jumping from learning one language to another and I can say that C++ is a good one to start with. It's applied pretty commonly on Windows programming. C# would be the best for game design, since Unity and Unreal use them.
Not sure about Python but can be used for pretty much anything.
>>52287535
Learn shell scripting. It's easy to write and immediately useful.
>>52287535
Unreal uses C++ natively, don't know about c#
>>52287564
You're right, my bad. Unity is the one who uses C# natively, not Unreal. But you can use Mono for Unreal and code it with C#.

On my animu files, I often see on more polished batches these letters and numbers at the end of them. I (at least think) they are hashes or something so that you can verify you have downloaded a non-corrupt or tampered with file.
My question is what hash algorithm are these using? Is it MD5, SHA1, something else? I have no idea?
And if they aren't that then what are they?
