I have a low opinion of Gentoo GNU/Linux.
Gentoo is a GNU/Linux distribution, but its developers don't recognize this; they call it "Gentoo Linux". That means they are treating me and the GNU Project disresepectfully.
More importantly, Gentoo steers the user towards nonfree programs, which is why it is not one of our recognized free distros.
Install Trisquel

Gentoo has license groups, which means you can install free software only by masking software with non free licenses. Gentoo is the only major distro which you can have fully free software without having to use a spinoff distro.

Not true.
Debian is 100% libre by default.
So my wife's son and me are sharing one connection. He's torrenting allday and I get a bad ping for gaming. What do.
get him a job as a licensed dog walker
Too bad it isnt your own son. So you can do nothing about it.
Hey guys,
I'm about to wipe my win7 ultimate gaming PC and was wondering if I should just reinstall win7 or should I take this time to jump to 8.1 or 10 instead? Thanks.
>>51894172
Install gentoo, now fuck off.
Read the stick, install gentoo.
Stick with 7, you'll be sorry with 8 or anything after and if you aren't immediately eventually you'll just go back to 7 anyways. Don't waste your time.
why arent you using the most secure browser?
>>51894167
that's not a browser, that's a joke
>>51894179
Fucking burn
>>51894179
im saying this based on some experienced i had with malware, it could copy itself onto every browser (including mozilla and chrome) but not opera.
mind you i couldn't get rid of it until i reinstalled windows
What is the best program for hiding files on Android?
For example, I want to save images on 4chan (SFW and NSFW) but I don't want my roommate to accidentally find them.
And yes, It'll be used for porn too. Don't ask.
>Roommate === Mommy
Tell him if he finds anything silt his fucking eyeballs with a kichen knife.
>>51894165
what kind of NSFW?
So before you bigots start blasting me for not using Google or Youtube before posting such a question. I'm curious to know what /g/ thinks about my question since you guys are meant to be... experienced.
Learn java, progress to C++.
Using java is great for learning because the compiling is minimal meaning you can easily test tiny changes to the code.
Furthermore, hotswapping code is possible, meaning that you can change code to see what changes as you do it.
Finally, Java and C++ are relatively similar (inb4 /g/entlemen go nuts) and are easy to learn from the other.
>>51894121
If your final goal is C++, do not learn anything else. Start with that.

Hello /g/, I'm looking into browsing the deep web for the very first time.
My reason? Just simply curious to see what is on there. I'm aware that I will most likely come across porn, gore, drugs and other illegal stuff. No, I am not going to be making any purchases at all.
Do any anon's on this board have any tips on how you can stay extra safe while surfing the deep web?

Run some real program that actually makes the cpu put in some work. Oh wait, there aren't any on your fedora-tipping OS.

What are you on about? The k models only run a few dollars more than the non-k models. I think all that heat is getting to your brain AMDumbass.
Is there any benefit to buying a GPU if I'm not a gamer?
>>51893392
Anything visual will benefit from having a dedicated GPU. What do you do with your computer?
>>51893417
Browse imageboards and watch videos (anime, normal movies, live action TV, etc)

>Anything visual will benefit from having a dedicated GPU
That's actually a big misconception.

/g/ any tips on getting my reaction images under 1kb?
I've been resizing using imagemagick so the largest dimension is 150px as I believe that's the largest dimension a thumbnail can be on 4chan (OP thumbnail limit is 250px?)
For the simple black and white ones I can do +dither -colors 2 -type bilevel and that reduces them substantially (+dither helps a lot keeping it smooth/not speckled)
and also pngcrush -brute to compress them further. in near all the reaction images the png is smaller than gif
For coloured images it's much harder. When there's ~6 primary colors in an image I need to do -colors 9 or more just to get near-accurate colors and by that time it will always be at least 1.2kb
The reaction images I'm testing are cartoon/comic, I believe it would be too difficult/impossible with real human pictures as there would be too many colors + too much information lost on resizing+color removing to get a tiny file
To try make it easier I opened some of my reaction images in gimp and replaced all (for example) green colors to a single green, all blues to a single blue, etc. so there was only 6 colors and I think that helped but I tried so many different options I'm not sure if it's true. plus I put each single color in a new layer and went to colors > info > colorcube analysis and it said each layer was 'only one unique color' and so I had 6 layers with a unique color each and then I merge them all and suddenly it reports there's 20 unique colors.

>any tips on getting my reaction images under 1kb
Sorry, too autistic for me.
i think i remember you from /sqt/
do you actually have that many reaction images that the size is getting to be an issue?
jeez man, buy a new drive or something
>>51893032
>pngcrush
moron
use optipng or if you want maximum compression, zopflipng.
pngwolf + zopflipng can help too.
I want to learn programming for most likley making software and stuff. What language dose /g/ recommend for starting out
/g/ Forth recommends
>>51893030
The language in your picture is Javascript, you might start with that if you want to make websites. If you want to make desktop software it's strictly reserved for enterprise now, you wouldn't want to get into that.

ookla's final form of course.
ITT: We play bingo and discuss alternatives to the botnet.
You use Windows rather than Linux
You use MPC-HC with madVR rather than mpv
You use uTorrent 2.2.1 rather than qBittorrent
Chrome rather than Failfox
MeGUI rather than FFmpeg
QAAC rather than Opus
This is how you avoid the /g/ botnet.
>>51893014
How do you replace

>cisco
>xbox live
