im trying to run firefox within my home directory. i use the precompiled and tarballed releases you can get from their ftp. i run it and get "couldnt load xpcom". ive had this issue before, and its xulrunner not being installed or so. so i grab the precompiled xulrunner off their ftp as well that matches with the firefox version i downloaded. i figured i could set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the xulrunner directory while trying to run firefox. this doesnt work, but i didnt expect it to anyway. does anyone know what i could do without installing xulrunner systemwide? also keep in mind that i cant use the package manager as portage doesnt have xulrunner anymore, and again i dont want it systemwide. thanks.

Question.

What's the difference between a modular PSU and a regular PSU?

Need to swap the current one, and i could get a modular for the same price as the regular version.
>>
>>53803071
modular just means the cable detach from the PSU
>>
>>53803112
Alright.

Probably not the best place to ask, but i assume the CX600 is a decent PSU for the shekels?
>>
>>53802259
Chrome remote desktop is better than teamviewer
>>
>>53803071
It's way easier to assemble a PC with a fully modular PSU because you can arrange the cables however you want. non-modular or semi-modular can't hold a candle to ease of use.

>What's objectively the best Linux distro?
Depends on your use case.

>Also, what is the most used distro?
Probably Ubuntu now.

>Is there any performance difference between all of them or is there some with more features than the other?
Too broad of a question, but short answer no.

>asking for my DNS services thing. What am i supposed to do with this?
Setup a DNS server / rent a DNS server and setup your zone. If this puzzles you then you need learn how DNS works first.

>>53803250
Doesn't matter, it's probably some south american country where the cops wouldn't give a fuck.
>>
>>53803171
You have to point your domain to an IP address that the website is hosted on. That's what DNS does.

debian based distro (ubuntu and mint for example) are easier to learn and have a great community behind them. fedora is more for programmer or coder for what i know.

yes and no. Yes, there are major differences out of the box. however, you can customize a distro to behave like pretty much any other distro.

My girlfriend of 1½ years wants to see other people, but is willing to still be with me, if I don't mind her dating other guys. I would of course also get to be polyamorous.

If I could get myself to enjoy it, I think it could be a good solution. Thing is, my heart sunk when she told me that she had a tinder date lined up.

WAT DO

Fuck that. Send it in to best buy anyway and tell them the HDD is dying in the first place. You're the reason why people who leave retail work are so jaded and mistrustful of the everyday customer.

>>53803504
maybe fuck with one of the fans to make it fry. you could stick a match in one of the vents, or open it and wiggle a wire out (if that doesn't break warranty).

it might be key to seem like you have no idea what happened when you return it, possibly desperate about data loss.

cat5 question

not a native english speaker, looking for correct terms in english

we have two kinda of category to choose from when it comes to ethernet cable and I dont mean shielded, or cat5 / cat6...

the terms we use are "kabel" vs "lanko" which translates kinda to

>wire/cable
hard to bend, behaves kinda like thick cable that holds bend and resists more and you would have hard time tighing a knot on it if you would for some reason want. its used most of the time.

>rope/string
easy to bend, aimed at interconencting devices for short distance, patch cables, behaves more like a shoelace than a cable, it can be knotted if for some reason you would want it as it resists less. its pain in the ass to put rj45 connector on it

also those two supposedly have different connectors, pic related
i want to google more on this two variants but without knowing the english term for the ropey one I cant..

I have a RasPi working as a WiFi access point with IP forwarding on and some iptables rules to bridge traffic inbetween 2 different wifi interfaces.

At some point I had DHCP running on it, but now I don't; neither udhcpd or DNSmasq services are running.

The thing is, even without DHCP, I can still connect to it without it being connected to a router.

Does this mean I can just install hostapd and set up IP forwarding and network bridging to connect to it, without ever having to configure DHCP? Or is there something running in the background I'm not aware of?

i'm having a real hard time deciding on a pc. logical increments hasn't been updated to account for not being able to OC non-K skylakes anymore so i can't use that list as a guide. i would like a well-rounded gaming PC for under a grand. i would like go with a skylake setup for future-proofing, but the 6100 is too slow, the 6700 is too expensive, and the 6500 doesn't seem like a good value.

well I have no idea about that other pkayer that has constant generals going for it, but stock MPC-HC isn't that great, imo. my PC wasonly able to play 1080p videos flawlessly once switching from stock MPC-HC to KPC (Kawaii Codec Pack).

perhaps since kawaii codec pack optimizes video playback, it will optimize resource usage as well. but for that matter, there is a setting in MPC-HC to use the gpu exclusively for video playback when watching in full-screen if thst would help, any.

Best software to use to get rid of adware?

I was initially annoyed at the new layout of 4chan, but I got over it when I realized that the annoying random pieces of text being turned into hyper links weren't actually part of the joke. I'm normally very careful when it comes to downloading stupid shit so I've never actually had to deal with adware specifically, I've got my anti-virus performing a full system scan but seeing as it's going to be at least a couple of hours until that's finished I'm not sure what to do in the mean time.

Yes I've googled it, but most of the websites seem fishy and I'd rather not take any chances.

Change the SSD for a 850 EVO 250GB.
Why? SV300 is a really shit SSD, really slow, and really unreliable, will last you less than one year.

Change your motherboard for a GA-Z170XP-SLI, you are getting a K processor, you need a Z170.
Get another PSU, a EVGA 750 G2 for example.
Not sure if your HSF is good, but check the price of the NH-U12S.

I need to scrap some data that is essentially a many to many table, and I'm looking for the most efficient way to do so.

To simplify the problem, lets say it's a many to many table between on/off switches and a page.
It takes 1 web request to turn the switch on or off, or 1 web request can them all off at once.
Each page is connected to a number of switches. It will report how many switches that it is connected to are "on".

I have 300 switches, and 100 pages to check.
An obvious (and inefficient) way to do this is to turn each switch on one at a time and check all 100 pages.
This will take 300 "on" requests + 299 "off" requests + 300*100 "page" request. The web server takes approximately 1/3rd of a second to do an on/off request and 2/3rds of a second to do a page load. That turns into ~600 * 1/3 + 30,000 * 2/3 = 20,200 seconds = ~5.6 hours.

How can I do better? I'm trying to think of some binary grouping approach, but it's hard to conceptualize. Note this mapping is pretty sparse, and particularly weighted. I have the switches in approximate greatest to least weighted order.
