Welcome to /fg/lt/, or as I've recently taken to calling it, /fg+lt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

OP answer your own question
Do you spend any time optimizing your programs or code for CPU cycles or RAM usage?
That's right, no one does anymore, because the blame has been shifted to the consumer

Before you get in any whatcuck/what.cd faggotry for other trackers remember you can get in PTP using CG and BiB and BTN doesn't recruit atm. & you really don't need 90% what.cd if you have rutracker.
Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.

DC Madam's attorney has hidden an election bombshell. It is due to be released in two weeks.
http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-03-31/dc-madams-attorney-says-election-bombshell-already-online
>“There’s a link right now, that if you had, you would have access to the records,” Sibley says about the website. “If I die, disappear, whatever, they will be out.” Sibley says his website hosts PDFs of Palfrey call logs that contain about 5,000 phone numbers, along with downloadable spreadsheets that contain the names and addresses of 815 Verizon Wireless customers from those logs, which he acquired with a subpoena ahead of Palfrey’s trial.
The story from a fellow anon:
>woman known as "DC Madam" runs high-end escort service in DC for over ten years
>amasses large database of high powered politicians and their sexual encounters with her hookers
>she gets investigated, walls start closing in on her
>"dies mysteriously" in 2007, hanging in her mom's backyard shed is considered a suicide
>but before her death, she gace all her information to her lawyer
>after her death, lawyer was put on gag order, making it illegal for him to release the data
>story gets forgotten for years
>2016 election comes
>the lawyer wants to release the information because it is "very relevant" to this election
>he has set an ultimatum of 2 weeks. if the courts dont lift the gag order in 2 weeks, he's gonna do it (madman.jpg)
>info will also be released automatically
>he set up four servers across the world, and if he doesnt enter a password every three days, the information will be sent to a bunch of media outlets
>this "dead man trigger" style system helps protect him from "disappearing"
The only possible people to be hurt by this are Cruz or Hillary (or even Kasich). Post all relevant info and findings here.

Why is free shitty hobby software "ethical", while good professionally developed proprietary software is not?
communist hippies
software can be ethical?
>>53802693
ethics aren't a clear cut topic. It's entirely subjective given each individual's weighing of morality, conduct, and motive.
You should learn more about ethics or avoid the entire subject.
Going to reformat my gaming-workstation on sunday, needs to be done before the launch of Quantum Break. Wondering if you guys have any links or help of updated information on what type of settings I should tweak etc to get the most privacy I can get. I don't care for Cortana or Edge. I can get my hands on an Enterprise image from work.
Thanks /g/ for any help I can get.
>>53802616
>what type of settings I should tweak etc to get the most privacy I can get.
Step One: Uninstall Windows 10.
Windows 10 sends identifiable information to Microsoft, even if a user turns off its Bing search and Cortana features, and activates the privacy-protection settings. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/even-when-told-not-to-windows-10-just-cant-stop-talking-to-microsoft/
Microsoft uses Windows 10's “privacy policy” to overtly impose a “right” to look at users' files at any time. Windows 10 full disk encryption gives Microsoft a key. https://edri.org/microsofts-new-small-print-how-your-personal-data-abused/
Windows 10 requires users to give permission for total snooping, including their files, their commands, their text input, and their voice input. http://www.techworm.net/2014/10/microsofts-windows-10-permission-watch-every-move.html
In Windows 10, the universal back door is no longer hidden; all “upgrades” will be forcibly and immediately imposed. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/07/windows-10-updates-to-be-automatic-and-mandatory-for-home-users/
Windows 8 also has a back door for remotely deleting apps. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2500036/desktop-apps/microsoft--we-can-remotely-delete-windows-8-apps.html
Microsoft Windows has a universal back door through which any change whatsoever can be imposed on the users. http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=201806263
Microsoft has already backdoored its disk encryption. https://theintercept.com/2015/12/28/recently-bought-a-windows-computer-microsoft-probably-has-your-encryption-key/
>>53802616
Install Gentoo
>>53802616
you either care about your privacy and ditch win 10 or just deal with it.

If you are that person, post your simple/small/stupid questions here
Don't bump. This is a slow board, and will continue to be. Wait for an answer or google it.

If you had your own proxy servers, or even if you didn't, is it possible to put viruses/worms/encryptions/whatever between them so that when someone suspects something's fishy and tries to go through them to reach you to identify you and find out where you are gets meeted by them (the viruses, encryptions, etc.)??
Is there a 3rd party app for remote desktop-ping Win 10 home edition from an android device? When I Google I just get results of people complaining that remote desktop is removed from home edition.

> encryptions
They can be also meet by hackers, spams, cookies, etc.

Why wouldn't you just install it at the system level??
When you go from current VR displays ~2K to the 16K needed for "retina" level resolution, the number of pixels increases by a factor of 64. Will we see GPU performance scale by 64x in our lifetime?
I think its far easier to make games not so "realistic", graphics at least.
>>53802074
I think it's more likely that, before we reach that point, we'll just figure out a good way of adapting the render resolution to the retina's orientation.
Reminder, we don't need “retina” resolution across the entire eye, we only need it for about 1° of the eye's FoV.
For peripheral vision you could easily render at a thousandth of the scale without losing any information.
>>53802074
yes without question

However I think 4chan's users are against microsoft software.
They prefer using terminal editors like vim.
