I'm looknig for a name of an application, it was big on /b/ in like 2007, it was an image scrambler that could scramble parts of an image, but then could be undone by others in the same program, does anyone know what this was called or similar programs?
Need a cloud backup solution. Requirements:
* About 3TB of space
* User-friendly clients for Windows, OSX, and Android
* Linux client (doesn't need to be user friendly)
* Automated and incremental (I don't really need revision support but that would be neat I suppose)
* Client allows easy rate limiting of the upload
* Preferably supports encryption and doesn't store the key server-side; I.E restores should only be possible if I can provide a keyfile
* Hopefully reasonably cheap
Shill me, /g/! Referral links are fine if the service meets the above requirements.

The easiest would probably be to setup owncloud.
It can run on almost anything, a VPS or something you own in your house with dynamic dns.
Use letsencrypt to get a certificate and you can just download the desktop client and log in.
The default encryption is server side but you can get your own solution if you want.
If this is too much, syncthing is a bit easier although it is not good for mobile.

The best way is to get something from the trash heap with a USB port, see if it still boots, wipe the HDD, and start from there. To do that, jewgle is your friend (for now).Hell, most people in IT/sysadmin just google it half the time, anyway. For Linux, try dickin around with Mint first. Tear it apart and if you fuck it up too bad, the worst that can happen is you've lost something you got for nothing.

Windows installations handle new hardware not very gracefully. If you simply replace the HDD, Windows will probably boot and install a bunch of new drivers and more or less work. However, expect freezes and bluescreens down the line.

Hi folks, do you know what could be causing a bad_alloc error in this snippet?std::vector<Tripleta> mergesort(std::vector<Tripleta> vec) {
float n = vec.size();

if (n == 1)
res = vec;
else {
std::vector<Tripleta> izq (vec.begin(), vec.begin()+floor(n/2)-1);

I had this idea for a simple torrent server which, through i2p, simply goes through and downloads random torrents from various sites and simply seeds it until a certain ratio is reached, like 2.0.
Some problems would arise with the queue. Some torrents are easier to share than others, and if you have a queue full of torrents nobody wants to download shit will simply stall.
How would I go about this?
Case:
>Dell Latitude D830, Core2Duo, x86
>Windows XP Home
>used only for browsing, e-mail, shops / auctions, etc
>it also has printer, some Brother installed to it
>it used Kaspersky AV at some point, but it got expired
>it's not actually that mobile, making it more stationary.
- This is the current machine my parents are using and they are actually fine with it as they spend on it <5 hour weekly.
- They asked me if I could manage with extending license for it (they are able to pay, as they are satisfied with it).
- My concern is that AV might not be enough if OS itself is not updated with security updates (patch tuesday).
WAT DO?
- Uprage OS. I see that Windows 7 has support until 2020. What stores could I look for in order to obtain keys?
- Alternative: Buy some old laptop with OEM license? Besides /g/'s beloved thinkpads, what other models would You recommend?
- 2nd alternative: Rather than laptop, purchase some small PC form factor (IPX ?) What motherboard would You recommend. Integrated graphics and wireless card would be handy.
I'm actually prone to last alternative. Since it is stationary, it would be better to obtain normal machine.
>>52493195
>if you have a queue full of torrents nobody wants to download shit will simply stall.
Did you also consider what if you have a queue full of torrents no one has to seed?
Both should be easily solvable by checking the amount of seeders and leechers a torrent has
>>52493239
Ideally this should be monitored such that torrents which nobody wants to download gets seeded iff there are leechers there.
As for torrents that doesn't need to be seeded (because it's already healthy) I suppose they should only be downloaded if their health deteriorates or something.

Easiest thing for a home network is to just use a decent router which will act as the gateway as well as switch unless you need more ports in which case you can just add in an additional switch connected to the router.
Having a dedicated gateway server is overkill for home networks unless you just want to set one up to dick around with it and learn.
And yes, the gateway server can handle other tasks, depending on the hardware and what you want to do with it.

>>52495164
Does the VPN work in a browser? I use Cyberghost and had the same issue if any of these options were enabled:
>Prevent online tracking
>Protection against malicious websites
>Ad-Blocker
>>52495194
It has also the option to open directory. Not only open file.
It has set of methods to figure out paging.

A neighbor of mine had their car broken into last night, and that pushed me over the edge to want to buy security cameras. I rely on firearms to defend my family and property, but having cameras couldn't hurt.
Can someone please recommend where I should research security cameras for home use? Indoor/Outdoor, storage, controllers, etc. Any advice is welcome.

>>52495171
Well, say I wanted to use a VPN for all of my traffic. Would setting the VPN connection on the gateway route all Internet traffic from my network through the VPN?
>>52495282
And what do you expect to do with those cameras? Stay up all night watching the screen just in case someone shows up and tries any shit? Chances are you won't be there or you won't be awake when it happens.
Invest in the security of the car itself instead.
>>52495227
Thanks, it works great. Fucking Trovi came with it, though.
>>52495507
What this guy said. Instead of spending a lot on cameras and disk space, look into protecting the car instead. MagnaVolt is one of the better car protection plans out there.
>>52495507
>>52495582
what about motion detection?
>>52495604
Yeh, motion detector cameras with floodlights is what I would use if you wanted to protect the house. But look into Magnavolt if you're looking to just protect the car, since you can protect the house with your guns.
Not sure where to post this :/

Upgrading from an old build, I recently bought a new motherboard that supports 3.0 USB ports. However, the default front ports of my case are 2.0 (and obviously they are not blue). I don't have a 3.0 device to test if they are running at full speed. How can I know if they are?

Does Outlook 2016 have any advantages compared to Thunderbird?
Strictly personal use.
>>52496082
>not the mobo.
Thats the first problem
>>52496155
Do you find any of the features in thunderbird to be differnt to outlook, to which you would want those features outlook does not have?
>>52496175
I figured, but there's no cable that allows me to connect it to the mobo. Should I just connect that fan to the mobo and run the others from the fan controller?
>>52496238
How are you connecting to the fan controller?
Molex or 3/4 pin

but without java i can't install my skyrim waifu mods desu
>>52496405
try the offline installer instead.
>>52496569
thats what im using though
i seriously googled the shit out of this problem and tried everything. clearing registry and temp directory, uninstalling windows updates, using javara to get rid of old files, even manually uninstalling the previous jre with the command prompt
>>52496405
>>try to reinstall
You have to delete all the shit in AppData before you do this
>>52496621
did that
>>52496614
I dont know man. I tried installing Java through their website a few weeks ago and it crashed my computer, like 4 times. I gave up and downloaded the offline installer and had no issues.
All for Sonic Episode 4, which was garbage. I refunded that and uninstalled Java. Never again.

Have you tried just using the case fan on the controller and see if it even picks it up then?
I dont think its a wattage problem because all the fans come on
>>52489548
thank you based /g/ods for this thread. I have a stupid problem.
I cloned my hard drive a while back (over a year) when i put an SSD into my laptop. Clone appeared to work, I swapped the SSD in and put the HDD in my second bay. made sure OS was booting from the SSD, etc. Performance jumped, seemed like all was going well.
Most times when I start my laptop it does a quick "repairing drive errors" thing while loading windows, but I've never found any evidence of problems in actual use. Funnily enough it seems to have stopped doing that as of roughly a month or two ago but again no difference in actual performance.
I decided to leave the C (now F) partition of my old HDD untouched just in case all hell broke loose with the new one. mostly because I'm not sure how I'd recover windows if I lost my SSD, and desu I'm not sure if something on the old partition is needed to keep my system runnng/authenticated/whatever Of course now it's way out of date and I have no idea what the consequences of using it would be. But that's not the issue, my SSD is still running fine.
However, I finally decided I want to format my F partition on the old HDD that had OS, program files, all the good shit. Went to do it and it said it was currently in use. What the fuck is it being used for. Just as a poor man's test I went to the file location for any running programs and they're all on the SSD, so what exactly is running on the old HDD, is there any issue if i format it?
Thanks in advance. Will monitor in case I've been unclear about anything. The whole preamble was just because I have the sneaking suspicion I did something wrong when i first installed the thing.
>>52496650
Try to search if it left dead keys in the registry and see if it makes sense to delete them.
>>52496805
did it with ccleaner senpai
ccleaner found a bunch of java stuff and fixed it for my dumbass
>>52496707
The only thing I am using on the controller are the front and rear case fans. CPU fan is hooked up to the mobo. I will plug in only the rear fan and see what happens.
How do you reset a window's position in win7? I just removed a screen (it was a dual-screen setup) and there's just one program now that when I open it doesn't show up on the only active desktop, yet when I use Alt+Tab I see that it's open and working. Can I force it to stay centred?
>>52496796
Boot in to safe mode and see if you can format it.
Or
Get a live usb and go in and format
>>52496405
yeah you gotta remove it manually after uninstalling it from control panel.. you used control panel right? just deleting the folder won't help.
>>52496919
whatchu want me to do with the USB, just copy it again in case shit goes wrong? I never use any sort of external backup and am super unfamiliar.
And what would it mean if it works in safe mode. I mean, it gives me the option to format anyways. It's not that I physically can't, it's that idk if it's safe and idk why stuff is in use

he meant a liveusb as in a stickt hat has linux on it, but from the sounds of it that'd be over your head right now, so just grab easeus partition master, there's a free version for home use. if the partition is in use or otherwise busy when you try to format it with easeus it will tell you one or more operations require a reboot and ask to reboot,

So I have a stupid question.
I've become increasingly worried about leaving emails up on webmail. I'd like to use an email clinet(I looked through the read before ask lists and picked Sylpheed as an on-device email client, on the basis that it's name is cool). What I want to do is download all my emails from my differing email accounts, delete the ones I don't care about, then delete them on webmail as well.(I'd rather waste the time and space downloading them as the webmail interface is shit). How do I do this? Does /sqt/ endorse another email client that might be better? If I download the email to my computer, can is till retrieve images for that email later?

Are there any good safari style reader add ons for Firefox?
>>52496982
Are you wanting to backup the hdd data?
Or just format it?
USB would be getting the program GParted and putting it on the usb. All it is is a program that formats and makes partitions.So no extra things you need to learn to do it.Just point and click
If it says it is busy something is using it.Safe mode dosent startup but the basics. So most likely you could format it there
>>52497007
then I can only think that the installer is damaged, do this, redownload it but while it's downloading right click in firefox on the download bar, copy the url of the file, then go to burnbit.com and make a torrent of it (hopefully burnbit accepts the url), then download the torrent and sync it (force re-check) with the file you finished downloading, if the file is good then it should tell you 100% complete, otherwise 99% or whatever depending on the damaged part size, if it's damaged then start the torrent and it should correctly replace the damaged part for you. Try installing again.
>>52497082

Can /g/ recommend me a good keyring pendrive?
This one has caught my eye.
Good points:
- Its so fucking fast. That's good for big files and for liveUSB ( which I use a lot)
- So big you feel powerful using it
Bad points:
- It's so big you probably can't use contiguous usb ports
I'm still not sure if the Lumia 640s that you find cheap are compatible with Orange 4G, please help me.
>>52497202
I always thought keyring drives were a dumbass idea, you either have to take it off the ring to use it or have the weight of your keys pulling down on it all the time you're using it, which will likely lead to early death. instead of putting it on your keyring, run a lanyard through it and wear it around yo neck
>>52497202
You dont need 32gb.
Get a 16 for like 8 bucks and put a lanyard on it
16gb is more then enough to put 10 distros live boot on
>>52497115
I don't care about backup because in theory the partition I'm formatting is just a copy of my old C drive circa last year. It had mostly program files to begin with. Everything I need to save is either updated on the SSD, or copied already by me to the other partition of my HDD (manual backup ftw). I no longer care about keeping a copy of my OS because the SSD hasn't completely tanked so whatever.
I just want to format it for the sake of clearing up space (and now because I'm worried its continued existence might be messing with my system since its still running things) and was surprised that any part of it was in use when i tried to do that. I could have ignored the warning and formatted it anyways, but i wondered if maybe for some reason some part of the OS or program files were still being actively used instead of the SSD version, meaning idk what would happen if i just deleted them all. I basically want to know what's running off that partition, why it's running off that one and not the SSD, or if it's just totally safe and not worth worrying about. i don't want to format it only to find that something messed up in the cloning and now my windows is screwed. If that makes sense. Just being cautious.

I need an IDE that :
-is a good for C & C++ projects
-have a good auto completion. Not some baby spoon feeding like visual studio, but something decent.
-have a minimal UI if possible, to have mainly the code and not some shitty button I don't care about.
-is free as in freedom
I used codeblocks for a while, but god know why it became shit. I really like the default & minimal UI, the auto completion is good, but on both my computers it crash, bugs and gives me the feeling I should hang myself or throw my computer through the window
I'm just going back to vim for now but I don't like the auto completion on it with plugins, and I'm not a wizard yet to feel comfortable programming with it.
I really don't need a lot of features.

nothing needed, once you clone a disk drive, they are have the same content, so don't worry about that.

you would be using it normally, but windows update & other softwares should ask you to update
have you tried to unplug your hdd and run your ssd alone without the HDD ?
Whatever. When it says your HDD is currently in used, I think it's probably just that it's mounted by windows (of your SSD) automatically and it just tells you to fuck off because of that.
