Hey guys
I just created a booru site using booru.org and I am having some issues with the parent/child post relationships.
For some reason child posts are not showing up when searched for, or even when browsing regularly. Is there a way to fix this?
I checked the support forum on booru.org and there doesn't appear to be any threads on the matter.
Also related. I had to delete a large number of images from my booru and instead of actually removing the posts it just sort of hid them. Now there is 13 pages of blank posts and I can't get rid of them. There is absolutely nothing about this issue on the forums or anywhrre else on this issue.
Also also related there doesn't seem to be a way to view all of the members in a group, you can only edit group permissions and add or remove members from a group.
The past few weeks i've noticed all the torrents I download have a super fucking slow dl speed, even when there's like 80+ seeders.
What can I do to troubleshoot this?

>>54099826
Try another client, as someone earlier mentioned. I have good experience with Deluge on OSX, and rtorrent on un*x. If that doesn't fix it, try port forwarding.

Stupid question here, is a dvi connection really need on a monitor in the year 2016?
Having the HDMI source to an dvi adapter is fine for the future right?
What are the chances of something like this actually being good?
Currently I'm using the audio out on a 7 year old prebuilt pc.
>>54100038
qbit is a horrible client, it stalls, it's slow. why not just try another client and see if that fixes it? it takes minutes to test?
>>54100082
Good in terms of 'it works' or good in terms of 'wow this sounds great!' ?
>>54100081
I prefer to connect using DVI since HDMI ends are so shitty and tend to bent and aren't able to lock.
>>54100100
Good in terms of being better that the onboard audio out on my current pc, which isn't great.
>>54100124
It might have a bit less noise since the signal stays digital until it is outside of the computer. But that's only if you have a noise problem in the first place (power supply noise, etc). With the onboard audio there is a bigger chance of interference after it is in the analog domain.
What are the better RAM brands for DDR4?
>>54100150
Noise only REALLY seems to be a problem when the amp is turned up past a certain limit, which is about 63/100. After that point the distortion is absolutely unbearable. But it's not that often I listen to things at ridiculous volumes so it's not my biggest concern.
My main concern is quality. I mean I know spending ten bucks on an external card won't result in the highest quality, I'm just wondering if it'll be better than shitty onboard audio. Sure spending $100 on a DAC would certainly be a much better solution, but that's out of the question.

I already have good settings that work for me, occasionally i get high encoding, like in high movement scenes or things like that
>>54100293
Sounds like it should be. What seems to be happening is when you turn your volume up on the computer to 63+% is the pre-amplifier is clipping causing it to sound like shit. I think the external one should fix that.

>>54100521
I should clarify, when the system volume is at 100 and the volume on the amp is turned past 63/100 it becomes too noisy to listen to. It's happening because it's a low quality signal.

When will DuckDuckGo be usable?
By now, it's still very inferior to Google Search: it hides official sites sometimes, and doesn't deals good with news and images...
>>54100628
>dunno mate, just Duck-duck-go-it ;^)
This will answer your question
[spoiler]never[/spoiler]
>>54100594
It's likely happening because the voltage from the computers sound card is too hot/powerful for the input on your receiver (preamp+amplifier). Your amplifier has a range of input signal it can accept. If you go above that, it clips the amplifier.
You are connecting a headphone output into a receiver, so results always vary as sometimes headphone jacks are either too hot or not hot enough.
The elegant way to do computer audio is to have a DAC and use the pre-outs from that.

write caches must be flushed before powerdown so that all the changes are _actually_ preserved on disk. this is a major issue for higher end RAID cards that have lots of dedicated buffer; many of them have their own batteries so they can quick get the write cache written after a power loss.
I don't know how caches for reading works, but there's no reason to preserve that.

sometimes when I attempt to disable and re-enable my "wireless network connection" in windows, it gets seemingly permanently disabled until restart. restarting explorer doesn't fix it. this often happens when running windows network diagnostics. manually attempting to enable it just gives you a frozen "Enabling..." screen, seemingly indefinitely.
is there any way out of the above without restarting windows or otherwise logging out? my pc cannot currently acceds the internet right now, due to thr above. restarting my pc will be a great compromise for me right now, so any help will be appreciated.
if it helps any, even after unplugging my tablet from the computer right now, my tablet still shows up under "portable devices" under "computer", bur I cannot access its data, even if I plug it back in... it shows nothing, as if I hadn't unlocked it... perhaps this is linked... I did try running ccleaner with explorer closed, by thr way, still csnnot enable my internet. even eindiws network diagnosyics fail...

Sometimes it's because of shitty drivers crashing. I know for the Surface Pro 2, sometimes the wireless will just shit out and never turn back on until you reboot. When I ran Linux, it ended up crashing the system because I compiled it directly into the kernel. The error for that one was something about a null pointer de-reference, which was probably cause by shitty programming by Marvell.
>>54101862

thank for for the insight. Cheers. but is there really way to force a restart for it?
>>54101890
I have no idea. I only know how to do Linux stuff, and when I tried to force it back on it panicked. When it happens with Windows it just locks on disabled. You might be able to get it to fire up again by dicking around in the device manager.
How do they even estimate server hardware requirements? Program requirements x number of workstations using it?

>There is no such thing as futureproof.
I know. Especially in conventional terms but usually when the newer architecture comes out there usually improvements that makes similar range components perform better. I was wondering if that was the case with skylake and the new cpus. I feel like I can get more mileage out of the K processor and also I don't like the BCLK Overclocking that you can do on the locked skylake cards.
I feel like you do have a point. I'll see what they both perform like since the cost around the same even considering the mobo and memory.

It really depends on the display resolution and particular game. (I assume you mean in games)
VRAM usage is influenced most by texture quality and resolution. Newer games require 4GB in order to use the highest quality textures. A 2GB card won't stop you from playing any game, at least not yet, but you'll need to lower the texture quality and / or resolution.

like a week ago my computer started to boot up, shut down after 3 seconds, then boot up again just fine.
I thought it was the PSU (it was really old) so I replaced it but the same thing kept happening. I took out the GPU and the problem was gone.
the thing is the GPU works fine when it finally boots up so I don't know.
I hadn't changed anything hardware-wise it just started happening out of nowhere.
it's the GPU dying right?
>>54104505
it could also be motherboard-related
like maybe the pci-e port is somehow fucked up

I need to start using the computer at work to do some simple web dev for the company, the current computer is old and slow running Win7. If I put Ubuntu on an external HDD will that run better and will it be better suited to some simple front end web dev (Brackets and GIMP).
Also is there anything better than Ubuntu that is better suited to running on old PCs, but can run Heroku and an open source image editor (It doesn't HAVE to be as heavy duty as GIMP, I can do some image editing when I get back home on my PC).

For overclocking a core i5 6600k, will pretty much any z170 chipset motherboard do the job or is there certain ones I should get, looking g at the Asus z170-p since it has the ports I want and is cheap but should I go more expensive for overclocking?

I am a student studying computer networking who has no prior experience in using a Linux distro. I am currently taking a class to learn Linux, but there's only so much I can take away from a class that meets 4 hours a week. So far, we've learned how to move around in the command prompt (is that the right term? I'm still learning), and we've installed CentOS 7 a couple of times.
That being said, I want a more hands on experience with Linux. Besides CentOS, where would a good place be to start? I've heard that Ubuntu and Mint are good to learn with. I'm intrigued by Arch and Gentoo (memes!) but Arch especially looks pretty time consuming, especially for a beginner like myself.
Thanks!

Learn iptables.That is literally 90% of your job as an admin/engineer. Look in to hardening the TCP stack aswell
You would want a LTS distro,which centos is.
CentOS is the mainstay of server OS. You can run others but for a starter,you'd have to do less config to get up to production

Getting about 50fps in Witcher 3 on High preset with post-processing off. Will overclocking the CPU with a cheap fan like the 212 evo give better frame-rates? Or is it almost entirely on the GPU? Is overclocking a 960 even worth it?

I have one monitor display using my GPU, and decided I want to go for a second again. The last time I had dual monitors was before I upgraded.
I only have a HDMI cable for the second monitor, though. However, my GPU has displayport and HDMI 2.0.
Could I use my motherboard to display the second monitor? It's not set up for display purposes at the moment.
Or would it be better to get a HDMI to displayport cable and use that?

Why does nobody make GPUs and power supplies where it's easy to swap out the fans for another of the same standard size? It seems like every other component lets you mount whatever fans you want but these two components remain special snowflakes.

But the same could be said about a CPU (put on a cooler that isn't powerful enough and you'll burn it)

Can't the fan just mount on the other side of the enclosure so that you never have to go poking around inside?
>>54106257

If you push past 1.6v,which isnt stock settings,then yes perhaps it would(more inlikely it wouldnt even post,let alone break 100C with a stock cooler)

So I know moving active torrents used to work in qBittorrent but right now I have a 90% finished torrent that I manually moved from one disk to another, but if I chose Set Location and navigate to the new folder it just creates a new folder inside of that and starts the download over from 0% instead of continuing where it left of.
What am I doing wrong here?
>>54106521
You're nesting it back back one folder

start downloading into an empty folder. it'll start downloading from 0%. then move the old file and overwrite existing. restart torrent client.

Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a an ADATA XPG SX930 SSD?
Newegg has the 240GB model on sale and I want an SSD because I don't trust my HDDs anymore.
Sup /g/. I'm in a pinch. My R9 270 died on me today. I use my PC for my 3D modelling job, so I need to buy a replacement tomorrow morning. I came up with 3 options.
>buy something cheap like 750ti or 950 so I can keep doing my job at roughly similar performance and buy Polaris/Pascal later
>buy 970 which is 2.5 times more expensive than 950 and stick with it for the next year or two
I probably wouldn't be able to sell the 970 easily since Im be buying it for my "business" and have never sold company assets before. This is Europoor btw so pricing may differ and I'm limited to stores nearby.
>>54106585
you bought a used router with broken ethernet and no passwords? how are you supposed to factory reset it? this is just insane..
>>54106585
You can try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, you are probably boned.
>>54106701
I know a got it to pull a part for spairs but I decided to try and access it. If I can then I can use and or sell it on I bored and wanted to try

Get a samsung 850 evo
$90 newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372
>>54106692
Seems ok, but I've never tried that brand. I usually stick to Samsung drives.
>>54106697
How do you feel about your current performance? If it is fine, then go for the 970. If you need something more powerful, then limp along on a 950 until polaris is out.
>>54106697
If the company is paying for it,get a 980ti.,That wil l last you a good 5 years
>>54106493
Yes, very fine. How much did you pay for that prebuilt? 1500$?
>>54106768
I'm Canadian. Thats $110 bucks on our Newegg vs $90 for the ADATA. Is the $20 worth the extra $20?
>>54106846
Thanks anon. 270 was working fine for me and I wouldn't be upgrading now if not for it dying on me. 970 seems like a decent upgrade and I'm not sure if polaris/pascal will live up to the hype so I might go for it.
>>54106870
Unfortunately I'm a freelancer so i have to buy it with my own cash. Luckily I can get the VAT refunded so I can buy it at US prices (normally 970 costs around 400 USD here)

Its the top ssd hands down.

Do you want your shit to die in a year?
Would you get a rolls royce or a pinto.They both do the same thing.
>>54107061
So drives that aren't Samsung will die in a year?
>>54107080
Hard to say.
100% of the parts in a Samsung drive are made by Samsung. Samsung is known for having high quality SSD components.
Most other manufactures don't have their own fabs so they buy flash and controllers from other suppliers.
If I buy a WiFi repeater and use my phone's WiFi right beside it, will the signal be stronger than if it was just my phone? The logic being that the repeater's card would be stronger and thus receive the original AP's signal better, and then pass that to the phone.
Also, will the SSID appear duplicated? Is it possible for the repeater's SSID to be different from the router's or even hidden?
>>54106899
Certainly not that much, 900 euros at most. Not exactly sure, it was the last expensive thing I got my father to buy me before I moved out.
>>54107133
That sounds good, but the Samsung is still out of my price range. What about Sandisk? Their Z400s is in range for me.
Hi /g/, /diy/ here, after many attempts and around 4 hours I havent managed to configure my wifi dongle on my raspberry pi. At first it detected all the networks and I introduced the password, but it didn't connect despite the password being correct, then I tried modifying the wpa_supplicant file and then the network/interfaces file with no results.
The drivers should be ok as the dongle can scan and display info about the networks (pic related after running iwlist scan)
Can someone help me out, I've been stuck with this all day, I even formatted the card and used a new image. I'm running raspbian, also, this dongle did work a year ago with my home network.
Sorry for being the annoying raspberry fag, but I have no options left but to ask for help.
My ISP is a cunt, and I can't afford a VPN to torrent with. How common is it for ISP's to look for XDCC piracy?
I don't claim to know anything about hacking or anything, but why isn't there something like Hackintosh for having iOS on Android devices? They are both ARM devices.
I mean, couldn't someone just take apart an iPhone and make an ISO image of the drive and then boot that up on an Android phone?
>>54107346
Their hardware is pretty different if I'm not mistaken.
Hey /g/, I have an old tower (circa 2007ish) that I want to put a large 3TB hard drive into and make it a network attached storage for my media and backups on my laptop and PC.
is this a daunting task? Can someone who is somewhat tech savvy accomplish this? I've never taken a CS course in school but I can read instructions well and have experience tinkering with Windows, OS X and Ubuntu over the years.
Can I just use the operating system on the tower for my NAS (windows 7)? or do I need a server OS?
I know just getting an external HD would probably be easier, but I want to do this.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
>>54107232
Not that anon but I'd suggest the Corsair force LE series. They kinda came out of nowhere with a silent launch but it looks great and its around 70USD for 240gb.
>>54107302
What is the model of your dongle? Did you try wicd?
>>54107316
ISPs don't really care about piracy, they sell bandwidth not content
They do care about getting DMCA notices which are sent by the infringed party
What you need to worry about is how likely it is for the infringed party to get your IP and send a DMCA notice
>>54107431
They also care when you download more then 5TB in a month
>>54107431
Good point, I suppose that answers my question.

>>54107550
When you're using the bittorrent protocol,which they can detect,and its this amount of data,that pushes it beyond any boundry that isnt piracy.

- not a derivate of another distro
- community based
- just works
- bleeding edge technology
- business-level stability
oh wait, it does, it's Fedora. Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, use it.
