How is GB Color clone anon?
Piston 3s sound awesome but leak so much sound. Are there any Xiaomi earphones that don't do that?
Meanwhile I'm listening through KZ ATE-Ss on the train and the foam tips are blocking sound out pretty well. Might order a backup set.

Hey guys, I'm a Debian user, and Debian is my first Linux based OS and I'm really enjoying it.
Alot of my friends though who are Arch and Ubuntu users tell me that Debian is used more for servers instead of desktop usage and that I should switch, but I already have everything set up and working on Debian.
What would I benefit from jumping to Arch? I had trouble installing it at first, but this was before Debian and now I'm confident I can breeze through the installation with minimal effort.
My friend told me that Debian packages are older, but they are more stable than other releases and that getting the most up to date software is essential on a desktop. I can't say I agree fully, but I can see he has a point.
What does /g/ recommend?
>>54697261
Don't jump to Arch, if your happy and it works then you don't need to switch
>>54697261
Only switch if you feel like you need to. Debian's GNOME packages are too old for me, so I'm using Ubuntu and the GNOME Staging PPA to resolve that; it was the reason I switched from two years of Debian usage in 2013(?).
Do you know about pinning? If not, read about it.
You can have a mix of stable and testing packages. Or testing and unstable. Also, apt's -t switch allows you to specify from which repository (stable, testing or unstable) to install packages, so if you need the latest version of something you can get it.
Debian can be just as bleeding edge as Arch, but without the inherent instability of the system. Debian isn't called the 'universal operating system' for nothing; it is run on desktops, servers, supercomputers, phones, Boeing aircraft, the ISS, etc.
You made a great choice, OP.

Let's continue to investigate the used market of workstation and server hardware for components which might find themselves into the PCs and projects of /g/.
Last time we were all looking at the Supermicro X8DT6-F motherboard. This is a dual socket LGA 1366 board which is going for under $100 on ebay right now.
The spec sheet for it is available on Supermicro's website
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DT6-F.cfm?IPMI=Y%20;SAS=N
Everything looks good here but there is one thing to note. The chipset is Intel® 5520 (Tylersburg). This is a server chipset, and if you look at the PCI-E information you can see it is reflected there:
>PCI-Express
>3 (x8) PCI-E 2.0 slots
>1 (x4) PCI-E 2.0 slot
>1 (x4) PCI-E slot
No 16x PCI-E 2.0 slot is available at all. This is not the end of the world, as a 8x PCI-E slot will still be very capable of mostly any task you want to do with it (including playing games). But it's something to keep in mind when looking at motherboards for a build.
This motherboard includes on-board video if you have no need for GPU intensive tasks.
A category I've been looking at are the CPU coolers.
There's the whole market of consumer coolers you can look into, but it may be possible to find used enterprise coolers for a lower price which will match the performance.
And there is always the option to use the stock coolers.
You can get two Supermicro heatsink+fan coolers here for less than $40
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-pack-Supermicro-SNK-P0040AP4-Heatsink-Fan-CPU-5500-5600-LGA1366-X8DTE-F-/221937641584?hash=item33ac83a870:g:DEgAAOSwo6lWQiwC
These will fit socket LGA 1366, which along with socket 2011 is going to be the most common socket you're going to be looking at in this category. They ought to be fine with a TDP of up to 130 watts going by their design, and reviews mention them being quiet (however, quiet is a relative term when talking about server hardware).
Noise level of 25dBa is mentioned on amazon: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101285
>>54697241
Then there is also this company Dynatron which makes CPU coolers and other components which seems to be popular. Their parts are cheaper than the Supermicro equivalents.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dynatron-T667-2U-CPU-Cooler-Side-Fan-for-Intel-Xeon-LGA-1366-1356-Socket-B-PWM-/152093096749?hash=item2369747b2d:g:i1EAAOSwwpdW7Fuu
There is a video on youtube of one of these in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3STLjCgBzs
Loud? It's hard to say. But these do have the 4-pin connectors which may be necessary on some workstation motherboards.
>The FBI has been in the hacking business for a long time, famously using malware to log suspects' keystrokes as early as the 1990s. But in the high-profile case surrounding a dark web child abuse site called Playpen, the Bureau is arguing that because it was authorized by a warrant, its computer intrusion code shouldn't be called “malware” at all.
>In a testimony earlier this week in the case of US vs. Jay Michaud, FBI special agent Daniel Alfin argued that the hacking tool used to identify Michaud and thousands of other Playpen users—which the FBI euphemistically calls a “Network Investigative Technique” or “NIT”—isn't malware because it was authorized by a court and didn't damage the security of Michaud's computer.
>“The NIT utilized in this investigation was court-authorized and made no changes to the security settings of the target computers to which it was deployed. As such, I do not believe it is appropriate to describe its operation as 'malicious,'” Alfin said. He added that he personally loaded the NIT onto one of his own machines and that “it did not make any changes to the security settings on my computer or otherwise render it more vulnerable to intrusion than it already was.”
>Malware is short for “malicious software,” and has always been somewhat hard to define. But the government's interpretation defies its commonly understood meaning in computer security, which describes code that surreptitiously installs and runs on a device without the owner's consent. The FBI's NIT would certainly fit that description: it was quietly installed on the machine of anyone accessing the Playpen website, which was only available while using the anonymous Tor browser. Once implanted, the NIT returned the true IP addresses of the site's visitors. To send the NIT, the FBI seized control of the Playpen site, effectively facilitating the distribution of child abuse images for two weeks.

no, not really FBI, malware is extremely easy to define
As long as they have a warrant, and as long as they are only using their spyware to spy on the individuals the warrant permits them to spy on, I see nothing wrong with this.
Whats Microsoft Edge like? Just upgraded to Windows 10. Is it decent or should I use Firefox/Chrome instead?
Firefox. Chrome is for kids.
>>54696972
Chrome. Firefox is for furries.
The Chakra js engine Edge uses is pretty cool, but the browser is still just IE with a new name.
If /g/ was a person what job would it have?

none. it would be an unemployed neet with a degree in philosophy.

Hello /g/
>It's been a little bit over a day since Oculus started rolling out new DRM for its software, but it's already backfired, making pirating the company's games easier than ever.
>A software update Oculus released on Friday, which included new DRM, killed one of the VR community's favorite hacks. Revive, as the user-made software is called, allowed people to play games exclusive to the Oculus Rift on competing VR headsets like Valve's and HTC's Vive. At the time, Oculus told Motherboard that the new DRM wasn't targeting Revive specifically, but that it was "designed to curb piracy and protect content and developers over the long term." Revive, supposedly, was just collateral damage.
>The new DRM, however, appears to have only made Oculus' piracy problems way worse. Now, not only did the developer of Revive, who identifies simply as Libre VR, already find a way around the new DRM, his new workaround makes it easier to pirate Oculus games.
>Libre VR told Motherboard that whereas the original version of Revive simply took functions from the Oculus Runtime and translated them to OpenVR calls (an API compatible with Vive and other headsets), the new version of Revive now uses the same injection technique to bypass Oculus' ownership check altogether. By disabling the ownership check the game can no longer determine whether you legitimately own the game.

How does the new version making pirating easier? Doesn't he still need to use the wrappers around Oculus Runtime to convert to OpenVR, in order to run on a non-oculus device? Or does this patch mean code compiled against oculus runtime just werks on openvr?
Seems like it was made "the same difficulty, or slightly harder."
>>54696664
It's either that or in searching for the way around the new DRM he found this method that also makes running pirated games easier.
>>54696664
>bypasses ownership check
Literally piracy
So, /g/ why aren't you using the best, just werks distro?

>>54696590
this. to be really honest, as a person who loves gnome, I'm just staying away from fedore just because of its name and using the crappy ubuntu gnome.
does lubuntu consume less RAM or I am missing something?
Why wouldn't it? That's kinda the point of a system intended to be lite.
>>54696568
Whoa, it sure has been awhile since I have seen XP.
I wonder how 7 and 10 stack up on average?
I remember I stopped using firefox back in the day on XP because it quite often took 2gb of ram browsing the web with 2 or 3 tabs.
available ram something something immediately freed up when needed something something
