In windows in firefox the URL delimiter(?) was /, meaning if in the URL bar there was a website www.website.com/one/two/three/four if I pressed ctrl left it would put the cursor www.website.com/one/two/three/|four there and again /|three... etc etc but on linux the delimiter is a space so pressing ctrl left would take me from far right to |www.website...
Does anyone know how I can change that?
thanks

I was reading a sci-fi series of low-medium popularity and it kind of occurred to me that a lot of concepts used there would make a really great strategy game. If I decided to make such a thing, obviously staying far away from any trademarked terms and changing things slightly so that it isn't EXACTLY like the books, but still anyone who read them could probably tell that conceptually there are a lot of similarities in premise, could I potentially open myself up to litigation by distributing it?

I mean it would be tiny scale thing that would probably only be played by a handful of people anyway, but still best to know if I am exposing myself to risk beforehand.

depends on the model, check the manuals for those you are interested in.
Usually you will find hybrid devices use an SSD already, albeit a slow cheap one usually on M.2 since it reduces physical size (gotta get that thin tablet feeling)

Biggest issues I can expect are underclocked processors to reduce heat, less serviceable and you generally find the wireless on them is underpowered resulting in half the speed of a laptop variant and a piss-poor range

Having a Brix myself these things are silent and also come with VESA mount and screws so easy to wallmount or even mount on the back of any VESA capable monitor/TV so you can hide it out of the way.

How come nowadays it's so easy to install a legit version of OSX on normal PC hardware?

Since it's also free now and performs much better than it used to, how does Apple not somehow crack down on this? They don't directly support hardware they don't sell themselves, but they sure haven't stopped anyone from using anything different, have they?

Where are you receiving emails from? Generally if you have a webmail provider (Gmail, hotmail, ISP) they will have the option enabled by default to not delete any mails from their servers, even if you delete it on the client.

1) You check for emails, receive mail A+B
2) You delete mail B on client, webmail provider does not delete mail B on server
3) You check for emails, receive mail B again

You need to log into the provider's webmail interface and change the options so the server does not retain emails once downloaded/deleted

All variants of the R7 need a 450W PSU and a 6-pin connector.
All variants of the 6900 series excluding the 6990 need 1 or more 6pins and a 500W+ Power Supply so no reason your system would be unable to power it.

I am taking a guess from the Speccy details you are running a 6950. While it is an old care the comparisons show that aside from some power efficiency you will see little performance gain and you may even see a drop in performance.

are they all on the same local network?
If you want something that already exists then you are stuck with full monitoring software applications that are either expensive/have limited trials (Solarwinds)
Or you use an open-source tool, stick it on a Linux box and read up how to use it. Nagios would do the trick and would also tell you the state of drive capacity, memory, etc.

Otherwise you are scripting it yourself

the site is gpuboss.
The card you want depends on your needs and budget, are you trying to play the latest and greatest games where optimisation does not apply?

I don't know the prices where you are but an R7 370 where I am is ~£120
If you jump up to an R9 380 that takes the price up to £160 (2GB mode) or £170 (4GB model), I would recommend the 4GB for a bit more longevity.

I'm sitting on an R9 280X which sits on the previous generation but is pretty much just below the 380 performance wise. I can comfortably run stuff like XCOM2 on high though.

Power requirements jump up though so check your Power Supply has a second 6-pin or a spare molex (most cards come with a molex-6pin adapter that I have seen).
Recommended Power Supply is a 550W though my 280X is recommended at 600W and I'm sitting on a 500W PSU

Avast is decent if you leave it in gaming mode.
>>
>>53518478
Ok something like Nagios can still work for this. I speak only of Nagios as that's the only one I have touched.

What you can do is have a client installed on the systems being monitored (nsclient++) and have them configured to report their status to the Nagios server.
On your end you can view a web dashboard on Nagios that will list the status of all the systems or if they have not communicated for a while.

This all requires that the Nagios server can be reached from the clients either by having the Nagios server using a publicly available address or utilising VPN tunnels.

Does your work provided Outlook Web access of any kind? If you delete an email on there does it still reappear later?
It could be some odd data retention policy in place.

As for your ISP's email, is this then happening on multiple email accounts? Apologies for that setting change, some allow you to only sync deletions.
If you contact your ISP I'm sure they can restore all mail to their server, generally even deleted items can be restored on a mail server within 30days.
>>
>>53518341
If you're already sitting on a 6950, you might as well just save up a little extra cash and get something you'll see a big difference in.

dunno if this is the right thread or board for that matter but here goes:
Anyone has some knowledge with turing machines?
We gotta write a turing machine with 1 state that is able to transform binary to decimal, example:
the number 12 (it is written backwards)
__0011~~
and the output should be
__12..~~
_ and ~ are just blank spaces, and the empty binary number should be filled with a placeholder, the machinestarts on the first number on the left and has to end on the first ~

My problem is I don't see how I can generate more numbers ( I need to be able to output 1,2,3,4,5,6 and so on) with what's given, especially with only one state, since if I modify a 1, every 1 will be modified accordingly regardless the position.
Since it has to end on the first ~, I reckon you write the placeholder going right, but as I said, no idea on how to generate more numbers.

Any help would be appreciated

If I go EFI way, it install great but after reboot Void prompt me to a "emergency terminal" where almost nothing works.

I tried forums a little but nothing came up. What should I research or to try?

Windows file and printer sharing was turned on in your PC.
All he had to do was type \\yourpcname\c$\users\yourname
then proceed to do whatever he liked with anything on your desktop, documents, videos, dropbox, onedrive, etc.

Either turn that off or if you really want a poor excuse to install Linux then it won't have that enabled and has a different file structure

I'm supposed to use one "capful" of a certain chemical in my hot tub, but the bottle has two things I might consider a "cap", there is the small cap that actually encloses the chemical, and then a secondary much larger one that covers the top that snaps on.

Is there a type of program or even "torrent" that whenever there is a new episode released (example: Anime) it automatically downloads it in the background
>>
>>53519713
RSS.
>>
>>53519713
Many popular torrent clients have such a feature. uTorrent and qBittorrent have RSS auto-downloading built in for example. So you just need to find a tracker with a good RSS feed to fetch your torrents from and you're set.
>>
>>53519718
This

You can usually set up torrent programs with rss feed iirc

>>53519750

>>
>>53519750
In bittorrent terms the tracker is the central server that keeps track of everyone in the swarm and helps get you in contact with other peers. "Tracker" is also used more generally to refer to websites that index torrent files (and usually run the other kind of tracker for hosted torrents as well) which is where you'd expect to find your RSS feed.

A seeder is just another guy in the swarm with a complete copy of the data you want.
>>
>>53519777
thanks anon
>>
>>53519777
> complete or incomplete*

Ftfy sempai
>>
>>53519842
Doesn't the traditional definition of a seeder imply they have a fully copy of the files in the torrent, and stick around to share them with other people? You can upload if you haven't downloaded everything yet, but you're not considered a "seed" by the tracker or clients or anything.

I bought a modem without realizing it was wireless and I have a wired router.
Is there any way to make a wireless modem connect to an older linksys wired router?

Am I forced to buy a wireless router?
>>
>>53519891
It doesn't have any ethernet ports at all? I thought most wireless stuff still had that shit to fall back on.
>>
>>53519891
You could always send it back to Amazon for a refund, less 15% or so restocking fee.
>>
>>53519931
No, it only has a port for the dsl phone line.

I forgot to mention I have DSL, if that matters

Should I just try to return the thing?

Are wireless connections less reliable even if the proximity between modem and router is very close?
Like 4 feet
>>
>>53519950
I'd just return it. Being forced to use wireless no matter what would be a huge inconvenience in my eyes, always prefer wired connections when I'm doing anything serious with it.
>>
>>53519943
I could do this if there isn't an easy way to make it work.
Also what are your opinions on wireless connections of this type vs Ethernet cables?
See:>>53519950
>>
>>53519964
My opinion is they tend to be slower and prone to lag and random connection dropouts, though of course this also depends on the physical setup of the devices, and also I haven't actually used WiFi as my main internet source in many years so maybe recent devices are better.
>>
>>53519891

Hey /g/

Since i am connected to this crappy wifi in some indian hotel, i get randomly redirected from time to time to pages like the one in the pic. Heres the url that led to that 'promotion':

It sounds like your router is not configured properly. Can't help much since I don't know what kind it is and don't have time for that bullshit anyway, but see if you can reset it somehow or if it came with a settings disc just run that or something.

>>53520127
The router is redirecting some of your traffic to malicious, shady shit.

Obviously since the thing is clearly set up to fuck you over you should assume everything you do will be logged and viewable by whoever set the thing up if they care enough.
>>
>>53520087
>not lurking nuff
>pajeet? I'm no indian fag
>>
>>53520139
You want the WAN facing side to have the same MAC as your PC. It probably won't let you change the LAN MAC.
>>
>>53520181
Could I run the router's easy setup software and it fix that problem?
Or is it a manual only type fix
>>
>>53520145
Thx mate, that's an answer i appreciate.
So network (or even isp?) was redirecting? I think the owners of the hotel don't have a clue. It's a shame how many hotels don't even change the router's default credentials (though that one did change them).

Sup /sqt/ I'm a poorfag but want to upgrade my shit a bit.

Planning to buy an i5-6500 and an MSI entry level motherboard and some ram basically. My old power supply units are 350W and 400W. I'll be getting a case and a power supply (500W) for $56 but I'd rather reuse. I can reuse the old ones just fine but I might add a 950 in a month or two and that's some 70-110W under load... might not cut it. So I'm wondering... is there a way to sort of use two power supplies at once??? Like connect them together somehow through an adapter or just plug them both in the motherboard if it supports such a thing? Haven't heard of this but I'm wondering f it's possible is all.

Why add another layer of abstraction between you and your data?

Plus, any changes you make in Gmail using the internet interface is available everywhere.

You can use Thunderbird if you like but there's no reason unless you have a particular need of functionality that it offers.

Do you?

GNU sits on the kernel and is the operating system. Distros build upon this and add to it.

Something like Debian is GNU/Linux/Other Stuff.

Technically, you could call something like a Fedora installation Mozilla/KDE/Apache/X.org/GNU/Linux

they just remove the temporary extraction folder and temporary webp file from /tmp, they're unneeded after the script has completed, so they're removed
those lines aren't critical, but they do prevent 'leftovers' (since they're in /tmp, they will be removed by the os next reboot though)

chmod u+x changes the file permissions to add execute rights, so it can be run directly (./program)
