How bloated have you allowed your installation to become?
clean install a couple of days ago. trying to keep it as minimal as possible. I prefer to keep a C:\bin folder with my apps in rather than installing loads of things and restoring their configuration. Much easier to just copy and paste the folder.

My c:\bin
190 programs installed.

Thinkpads are making somewhat of a comeback

>thinkpads are dead
Since when?
The lenovo malware thing affected their consumer laptops, and no thinkpads, and it doesn't retroactively go backwards in time and affect products that already exist and it only affects you if you actually use the OS it comes with with not doing a clean install to clean the crap that comes with laptops AND if you're buying new which you shouldn't anyway

Lets you select multiple links, or check boxes and do things with them.
I use it to copy a bunch of links, and then I paste them into wget.

This is fucking worthless because by the time you blacklist malicious scripts you're already fucked.

good looking out. i was using Copy Link URL for this, but yours seems to be a little more capable.
My favorite so far.

I have that zebra: it's the best mechanical pencil imo

Zebra is a great brand love their pens. What is that middle pencil?

Does /g/ like 16:10? Also general monitor thread.
I like my 16:10 Dell. The added vertical space helps in everyday use tremendously.
>>46603209
Yes, but /g/ is so full of shilling and plebs wanting to feel good about their purchases that preferring 16:10 is now largely seen as an elitist position.
For workstations:
> 16:10 > 16:9 > 21:9 = 4:3, although 1200+2560+1200x1600 PLP with 2x 4:3s is god tier of last generation
People generally want more horizontal space, but they're ashamed they have to chop vertical space off to be able to afford larger monitors.
16:10 masterrace
but its sinking ship. I wonder if Dell is gonna release a 1600p mon or not
What's a good frontend for mpv? I need something to give to normalfag vlc users. MPV is just too strange and weird for them to use.
>where are the settings?
>how do I open file?
>I double clicked the .exe and the installer wouldn't run. Halp!
My file manager opens stuff by default in mpv and having the settings all in a single config file is much easier than navigating 20 fucking menus for shit.
just give them vlc, what do you care what they use?

What is a good book to learn C for people new to programming?

Oh, never mind. Bump limit.
>>46622462
Didn't see it, I usually ctrl f for /sqt/
It's 300+ so it'll hit bump limit soon either way

Are AMD APUs even relevant anymore /g/?
AMD has given us 28nm kaveri but it still seems like a better idea to just get a separate cpu and gpu.
I know Intel has the technology to make a killer APU but they would probably charge like $1,000 for such a chip so they are out of the question.
>>46623495
Intel BARELY keeps up with AMDs APUs and those chips that do cost ridiculous prices
>>46623495
Yes, they are relevant and pretty good in low budget builds.
The newer A10s can get 60fps in 1600x900 on BF4 in medium, easily over 120fps in CSGO, etc.
>>46623495
They're good in their budget. If i would have to make simple, everyday PC for light usage and some games, a6/a10 would be great idea.
Server thread.
What's sitting in your closet or basement?
What are you running?
Personally, I'm having issues with Transmission. It doesn't want to move completed torrents. Is it a problem with SickRAGE?
Oh, and I can't find a good UPnP software. Any recommendations? Tried MediaTomb, but it just made a mess of it.
>>46627529
Nobody? Really? Not ven to show off what you bought with your neetbux?
Color me surprised /g/. This is the first time I haven't seen you guys jump at the opportunity to wave your e-peens about.
>>46627601
>>46627529
don't bump so often.
I have a poweredge R610 but I plan on selling it and get something more flexible to use as a NAS since the 6x 2.5" drive slots are cancer in terms of storage. Not really sure what to buy though. Do I really need ecc memory for freenas?
No /bst/? Unacceptable!
Is it a battlestation if you don't game on it?
I mean why do you need 3 monitors to run LoL?

Why aren't you using Windows Server 2012 as OS, /g/?
>server tier performance
>supports up to 4 TB of internal memory
>up to 64 10-core processors = 640 cores
>no bloatware
>desktop is default interface
>boots way faster than any other windows
Because Windows is a terrible operating system, let alone server operating system.
wow thats a lot of ram how much ram do you have op?

How many of you have moved partially or completely away from 'cloud' providers? The last year I've been slowly itching my way away but curious who else has done this. The increase in privacy is nice but the tradeoff in usability seems huge.
>moved partially or completely away from 'cloud' providers
I've never used a "cloud" service
It's easy to avoid all of these. Some examples
>chrome
Firefox
>apple
literally anything else
>ghostery
ublock
>teamspeak
mumble
>utorrent
transmission
>android
don't use gapps
>foobar
cmus
>opera
firefox
>mirc
irssi
>netflix
torrents
>ubuntu
debian
>lastpass
keepassx
etc
What do you mean cloud providers? Even if you don't store "your" data on cloud servers, you're still reliant on them via centralized shit like google, etc.
>>46613393
That's great. What do you use instead for common tasks? (Email, file sync, etc.) Looking for alternatives to what I'm currently using.
