I submitted to having messenger shit to communicate with relatives, but even if it has native linux package you can't use it without smartphone.
So any lightweight android emulators that will run on 15 year old laptop?
Also places to get .apk, as I haven't touched android in really long time.

>>4732
>Also places to get .apk

If you have a working emulator, you can also try aurora store, at least it downloads directly from jewgle instead of random mirrors that may or may not fuck with the apks.

>>4732
Any emulator is going to be shit on your 15 years old laptop. Get the cheapest second hand phone you can find or tell your relatives to fuck off with their botnet shit. Also fdroid.

If you want to host a chan, you need to get a VPS and install a chan software (JSchan, for example).
If you want to make your own web site, you need to learn HTML and CSS:

>https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS
>w3fools https://www.w3schools.com/html/

>>4742
what the fug

>>2 (OP) 
There have been rumors of Russia plugging their side of the internet completely out of the world system, requiring all services hosted in Russia to only connect to other Russian ips. Apparently there is also a counter move to force ICANN to make all domain names for Russian websites expire.
My questions are thus
1) How feasible could either be
2) If either came true could Russian servers still be accessible using proxies or a VPN
3) Assuming they cannot, what could the alternatives be to reach said websites?

>>4748
>1) How feasible could either be
The internet exists because you ask a service above you how to reach another address and then you ask a service above you (could be the same, could be a different one) to then forward a message until it gets to that address. 
If any top level decides "fuck this area" they could just answer any requests with "the address is unreachable". If any critical point in the chain decides "fuck this area" they could simply ignore all requests, thus making that address physically unreachable. It could be as low as ISPs refusing to send requests to russian address, up to high level domains blacklisting slavs. 
Once physical connections are severed you would need a new connection (e.g. some guy on the border making a server that connects the isolated slav internet via a slav router to the isolated non-slav internet via a non-slav router), but if it gets to that point you'll most likely get agencies from around the world actively seeking those connections to take them down.
It's completely realistic from a technical standpoint, the real question is how easy it is to make those authorities cave in.

>>4748
>2) If either came true could Russian servers still be accessible using proxies or a VPN
If it's the Russians, they can tell their ISPs to not let anything from the outside in, and in that case you're pretty much doomed. If the west wants to cut Russia, depending on how well they do it, you might still find a VPN in a neutral country and route your packets there. But if ICANN revokes all Russian IPs and start assigning it to others, even neutral countries can't do much.
>3) Assuming they cannot, what could the alternatives be to reach said websites?
Wireless radio, parachuting USB drives on the other side of the border, avian carriers, etc. None of it is really practical, if the authorities are willing to enforce isolation. Look at best korea or the state of the eastern bloc while the iron curtain still existed.

>>4751
Imagine pigeon piracy with microsd cards, it would be really funny.

>>4748
>>4750 is right about the final (software) solution. The Internet boils down to BGP between big players. They just need to agree to remove Russia network from the backbone. Packages won't be reachable then. Depend on how retarded the ((( politicians ))) are, they may just play with ICANN shit, which only affect name resolution. This doesn't affect packet routing between Russia and the rest of the world. That just means you can't get to *.ru because your DNS don't tell you their IP. OpenNIC or Russian DNS providers which have the backup will do that job, or they can just query Russian DNS providers. This only affect normalfags who are still on ISP/jewgle DNS.
>>4751
Satellites and any computer sitting in between Russia network and other network can route packages between them. I doubt it would be available for general public. But it is not difficult to implement, just tell your computer to route packets to that gateway for Russian IP block and that computer need to have that routing information from Russia and outside.
This assume they don't cut undersea cables and shoot down satellites.

>OpenNIC or Russian DNS
I'm already using both a primary and a fallback OpenNIC DNS, actually, but I have to switch them every so often due to the main servers going offline.
Speaking of DNS servers, is there a way to have more than a single fallback DNS active? Basically, in the event that the primary and the fallback ones go down, I'd really like to use yet another one immediately rather than having to change them all the time.

Additionally, are there any other good ones other than OpenNIC? I'm sorry if the questions sound kind of retarded, I have a very surface level understanding of deeper aspects of the web.

There are some here and there, but OpenNIC seems to be the best clearnet solution for now. If routing doesn't get cut off, Russian onions are still reachable.

Any tips on how to start in the open hardware scene? I want to create some open hardware similar to a raspberry pi using linux and having a small form factor, I want to make my own hardware and software so I and others don't have to deal with CIA niggers anymore, im inspired by terry in order to create something great and schizo tier for all fags to enjoy and possibly get people into computers. How much money do you think it would take to start a business centered around fully open sourced hardware and software in todays market? Do I need to take out a loan or some other kike shit like ((( investors ))) or can I do it solo with NEET money?

>>4942
>make my own hardware
Define "make" and "hardware". Making chips is effectively impossible unless you're full of dosh and I don't think microprocessors have schematics available since you can't even repair one and they don't want their OC copied. 
If you're fine with just the advanced computer lego that is soldering you could design and buy microprocessors (or microcontrollers if you want to start small), design a PCB, put some stuff on it like memory and I/O, maybe make drivers or try to use the arduino ones to program it if you want to plug it into a PC, and whatever else. You could "easily" make a low powered computer like an arduino, except more expensive as you would lack economy of scale and chinese slave labor.

>>4943
>microprocessors have schematics available
Well, there's OpenSparc and OpenRisc where you have verilog/vhdl. But making a chip from it is a different business. You can try FPGAs and soft cores, but in that case you 1) need an FPGA instead and 2) it's still fucking expensive compared to just buying some microchip. (But at least it's affordable even for common men).

>>4942
Pretty sure people design digitally  a PCB, buy parts in bulk from alibaba (you're forced to buy in bulk), and have to be polymaths and or be a team of people like next thing co was.

Just carry your own 500ml syringe and spray your own butt with it. Also, bathrooms need motion detecting soap machines, water faucets of course too, and those hand blower things. Just wash off the 500ml syringe afterwards. If thin it just takes two hands, one to aim and or hold it and one to push the water out so it shoots down there. I recommend hovering over the toilet by squating on it, that's more sanitary anyway, shoes touching the toilet only. If it splashes though that is an issue with how stupid toilets are designed. A waste of water, they should be holes with trap doors that lead directly to the sewer.

any tips on what to get for a small form factor linux PC? I want to emulate PS3/Xbox360/wii games as well as playing open source PC games like postal or quake. any good distros for non steam gaming or should i just stick with gentoo?

>>4095
You probably passed the seek flag after the input file and not before.
If you pass it after, it decodes the file until the specific spot.

Make sure you do this:
ffmpeg -ss 03:00:00 -t 10 -i file.mp4 out.webm

And not:
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -ss 03:00:00 -t 10 out.webm

>>4956
>emulate PS3
All I can tell you is that I think you need a good cpu if you want to emulate PS3 games from my time trying to do so myself. PS2 can get by with a modern budget performance cpu. Nintendo machines should be pretty easy to emulate but don't quote me on that. I just remember not having trouble playing them on a shitty office computer as a kid. People emulate them on their phones nowadays. Wii could be a different case as I don't have experience emulating that system.
>Xbox360
Is there even an emulator for that? I get a bunch of clickbaity results when I search for it. If it does exist, I would assume the system requirements would be similar to those required to emulate PS3 well.
>gentoo
Anon...
I would try Pop_OS. Maybe someone else can talk about their experience with it if they've tried it since I haven't myself yet. I keep running into it on jewtube when checking out Linux tutorials for getting certain games to work. I think it's basically just Ubuntu with wine and other stuff installed though.

>>4956
You should stick with gentoo.

>>4956

Gentoo is the most sane distro. But if you don't want to build your packages, install Artix (arch but without systemd) or Debian (it has systemd, unfortunately).

>>4958
>Pop_OS
I wouldn't use it. Just install Gentoo, Artix or Debian (these distros are more flexible than Pop_OS or Ubuntu. Also, I would avoid GNOME). There are some other good distros as well, like Guix, Slackware (you want to use https://slackbuilds.org/), CRUX... see >>530
Just pick a good distro and install the WM you want to use.

>I think it's basically just Ubuntu
Pop_OS is a derivative of Ubuntu that's made by the System76 company. Honestly, why not just install real Debian or Xubuntu, instead? (or some other distro) I would also avoid Pop_OS because it uses GNOME with their own extensions.

I'd advise against it personally. I've used it for about half a year, and the amount of issues I had overcome with each update wasn't a pleasant experience. Not to mention that a lot of their packages simply don't work at all (like the stubby-runit package). Also, their package building team is slower than Arch's, so you will have to deal with outdated packages for a bit longer.
If you want Arch, then just stick with the vanilla one.

>>4961
>Debian (it has systemd, unfortunately)
You have Devuan though (similar to how you have Artix which is a systemd-less Arch).

Why the fuck is that a feature?

>>4991
One difference is that if you have multiple inputs, -ss after the inputs will apply to all of them, while -ss before an input will only apply to that input. Of course, this doesn't explain the braindead behavior.
Another guess, some streams are not seekable and you have no option but decode everything under the position you want. Of course, ffmpeg should just detect this and only fall back to the inefficient method when needed.

If windows 11 is so much more bloated than previous versions of windows, how comes I don't notice a difference with the same machine and game fps comparison on yt have the same if not better on windows 11?

>>5002
Because you're comparing it with windows 10 and windows 10 is just as bloated.

>>4991
Because ffmpeg devs fucked up.

If you try to burn subtitles onto the video (for posting to imageboards as they seem to categorically forbid softsubs), you need to specify -ss after the input video, or it seeks to say 10 minutes into the video, but reads the subs from the start.
Very janky.

SystemD already has that functionality:

https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/systemd/systemctl.1.en.html

If you want to suspend to disk (hibernate), you also need swap partition or a swap file (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap_space If you create a swap file, make sure to set the correct file permissions!) Ideally you have more swap than how much RAM you have if you want to hibernate (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_much_swap_do_I_need.3F)
Note: you don't need to have swap if you don't want to suspend to disk (hibernate). However some disagree: https://chrisdown.name/2018/01/02/in-defence-of-swap.html (author of that article is working at Facebook ((( Meta ))) and belongs to the SystemD camp).

How to make sure that my drive is done writing before I dismount it on Linux? I'm trying to copy over a bunch of stuff from an old drive but I'm worried I won't be able to tell if it's complete or not before I pull it out and I don't really know how I would be able to tell besides manually checking every single file. I'm copying to and from an HDD connected with sata cables but I've had trouble with flashdrives before in this regard. Can I just unmount it in my file manager and be ok? It usually takes several minutes for flash drives to unmount if I copied over a lot of stuff but the HDD in this case unmounts instantly.

>>5056
sync command, point it at the drive's device in /dev/.

>>5052
Only ath9k has open source firmware, all newer needs blobs.

>>5056
>How to make sure that my drive is done writing before I dismount it on Linux?
From my experience Linux under KDE alerts and prevents you from umounting a partition/device if any program aside from the file manager/terminal is accessing said partition/device, plus if you're just going to copy stuff shouldn't any utilities you'd be using for that have progress bars?
You could also look at the indicator LED on your computer.

>the HDD in this case unmounts instantly.
If it does that it's either dying or your SATA connector is dirty/cable is shit, check your SMART logs with smartctl in any case.

>>5055
>Aaand?
And stuff not working is just a symptom of nothing but your own technical incompetence.

>>5056
>It usually takes several minutes for flash drives to unmount if I copied over a lot of stuff but the HDD in this case unmounts instantly.
That's because flash drives are much slower. Because of the physics of how they work you can't just turn 1's into 0's you need to reset the flash into a 3rd state before it can be changed again which takes time. And it can only be done in blocks so even if you only change 1 byte in a text file the drive needs to reset a whole block and copy data + your change to it.

>>5057
In theory sync is what umount does behind the scenes anyway.

It was known that some models of ath devices have hardware problems that overheats and misbehaves. If that's what he is talking about.

>>5061
>i shall pose as a different user to rescue my ego from being wrong on an anymoous imageboard
What are you doing.

>>5060
I've experienced Linux write to an unmounted flash drive for hours. I don't trust it.
Also, POSIX is deliberately subtly worded to allow such behavior. Writing files doesn't mean the files are written to the storage device, only that they appear so to any program in the system. Ideally, programs should call fsync() before closing FDs.

>>5081
>I've experienced Linux write to an unmounted flash drive for hours.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing the codec to play mp4's, probably because I installed Windows N edition. I have no idea how because I installed MPC-BE and K-lite. Anyone know where I can get it?
I think it's the H.264 codec. I went to optional features in windows settings and there's nothing there that could do the trick.

It didn't work when I used MPC but I actually just tried VLC for old time's sake and that works. But I still can't get mp4's to play in browser which is annoying. I also can't play those gay html5 video players that try to keep you from easily downloading the video but jewtube works just fine which I assumed was html5. Invidious instances don't work however.

>>5089
Did you try disabling hardware acceleration?
Firefox' built-in ffmpeg library usually works fine for most mp4s, if it can't play simple h.264 it's usually the fault of a shitty HWdec/GPU driver.

Anyone have any good resources on learning how to code? I want to make some open source clones of existing games for linux so I can finally play good games without fucking around with wine and other software so that it just werks. I want to become john carmack tier able to pump out good games at a steady rate with reasonable quality, there are already FOSS versions of doom and quake but what other FPS could I make FOSS versions of? I have a few in mind but no idea on how to properly execute them.

>>5119
>How to learn to program?
First, you need to pick a language. I recommend picking a high-level language (Ruby, Lua, etc. I recommend a language with an interactive REPL. You could perhaps even start with Golang?), get a good book (and perhaps a video series) and just start writing little programs. Start by copying each code example, once you get it working start modifying the examples. Do all exercises. If you want to program games, you need to know math (at least high school math/precalculus. There is a book called "Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell" by George F. Simmons. In addition to math, you need to know basic physics as well. The easiest way to make a game is to use Lua+Love2d (aka Löve) or Godot (harder than Löve). After those, the next easiest would be to use Unity. Also, when you have working (small) programs, use the /sdg/ thread. The reason why you want to learn a high-level language first, is that high-level languages are easier and you get immediate feedback and results.

If you have zero programming experience, you could also start with HTML+CSS: https://www.w3schools.com/html/ (W3Fools) and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn
W3Schools is only good for learning HTML+CSS, the rest of the tutorials are awful crap. You can host your site at NeoCities (https://neocities.org/) for free. But do not learn JavaScript or PHP as your first language. JabbaShit and PHP are inconsistent . You also need to get a good text editor, like NeoVim, GNU Emacs, or VSCodium (VScode is a botnet). The best way to make the choice is to try both of the editors and see which one you like better. Go trough the tutorial (C = ctrl, Meta (or M) = Alt, Super = windows key.):
< Gnu Emacs: Start emacs and type C-h t
< NeoVim: Start nvim and type :Tutor

I would also advice you to install GNU/Linux but you are probably using it already. But still If you want to brush up your GNU/Linux skills, read The Linux Command Line book: https://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php  Also visit the distro thread >>530
I also recommend that you use some kind of version control software, like Git or Fossil:
Git (more popular): https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 and https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials
Fossil: https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/quickstart.wiki

I recommend you learn a high-level language first. I recommend Lua since you can embed Lua into your C/C program. If you want to program a game engine, the popular choice is C. However, be warned: C is really complex language. I recommend learning C before you learn C. Actually, you don't have to learn C++ because you can use whatever language you want. For learning C, K&R is a popular choice but the problem with K&R is that it just gives you the quick rundown of the C programming language and it skips some important stuff. For this reason, I recommend you read C Primer Plus, 6th edition by Prata instead. You can find some helpful resources at https://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/Main_Page 
For learning C get "Programming: Principles and Practice Using C", 2nd edition by Bjarne Stroustrup. (aka PPP2).  "C++ Primer", 5th Edition by Stanley B. Lippman; Josée Lajoie; Barbara E. Moo is also a good book.
If you want a book that teaches you how a computer works, read Programming from the Ground Up: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pgubook Finally, you need to learn data structures and algorithms. An Anon recommended Introduction to Algorithms (aka CLRS) and  MIT OpenCourseware videos on algorithms and data structures. Alternatively, you can read Skiena's The Algorithm Design Manual and the lectures : https://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~skiena/373/videos/

>>5119
I personally think the best way to learn programming is to fuck yourself repeatedly. Choose a language and try to make increasingly harder stuff with it, from a hello world to whatever autistic project you have. 
Also, unironically reap SICP on the side.

This might be overly autistic, but given a malicious ISP that wanted to fuck with you in specific, how would you be able to validate any information without physical access to the source? 
Even with hashes and using something like PGP and reversing the keys you would be reliant on that first information, and there would be no way to validate that.

>>5145
Go and connect to some free wifi. Download some VPN software and use a provider that supports proper encryption. If you're really paranoid, repeat this for multiple wifi networks and compare the files/certs you get.

It's more of an autistic hypothetical than paranoia. 
Like how would you work around it if you were somehow forced to use that network.

>>5145
Get the first information somewhere else. CD, usb drives, sd card, qr code, whatever. You have one key that you trust and you can build your web of trust. Better yet, get that information now because ISP starts targeting you.

>>5147
Well, every currently known secure communication mechanism require some kind of shared secret beforehand, that needs to transmitted in a "secure channel". If you can only use one network and nothing else, you're pretty fucked from a theoretical standpoint.

HOME came preinstalled on this laptop and i already have my business 21h2 USB ready but i have no idea how to get the OEM bloat and useful software back when using the windows.old method and yes i already have backup
im not sure if the drivers had an installer since mine had very specific hardware features and want to keep using it
i could extract the files on the usmmt.ppkg just fine with 7zip but i have no idea how to apply OEM related registry tweaks and values which were originally there

mine is already activated by default with legitimate key all i needed to do was insert PRO key to trick it with fake upgrade then let the system updoot itself and put the original OEM key back where it belongs the features will remain unlocked as far as i can tell

Any emacs pros here?
Enabling wcheck-mode in a fundamental buffer used to highlight texts between "s with font-lock-string-face with emacs 27.2. However after updating to emacs 28.1 it no longer does this. I haven't changed anything in my config (and if I launch emacs 27 it still works), and from a quick look wcheck doesn't even mention this as a feature, so I'm not even sure where should I look. (And wcheck was installed from elpa, so I'm using the same wcheck version in both 27 and 28, so it's not even a wcheck change). Any ideas?

>>5182
not a pro. If wcheck wasn't changed, the change should be in emacs. wcheck says it highlights front-lock-string-faces. It is possible that emacs stopped setting quoted text as font-lock-string-face. Solution is something like this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7155528/change-face-of-plain-text-between-double-quotation-marks-in-emacs

>>5182
also, make sure you put your customizations after (custom-set-variables ...) and (custom-set-faces ...) (the latter is more important)

>>5196
I don't think emacs set font-lock-string-face before, because it didn't highlight the text until I enabled wcheck-mode in the old version.
But anyway, this is weird, maybe a bug in emacs?
If I run M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer, it ends up highlighting the strings, but according to the documentation it shouldn't do anything, since I have font-lock-mode enabled:
>Fontify the current buffer the way the function ‘font-lock-mode’ would.
But if I enter new text, it remains in the default face until I run font-lock-fontify-buffer again.
Unless I disable and enable font-lock-mode, because after it works. But if I simply disable and enable font-lock-mode without running font-lock-fontify-buffer before, it doesn't work either.

You should also tell whether you can actually program, and whether you know C but want a book on a specific topic. But here are some books:
> K&R 
But it is outdated, and, FYI, it's written for people can already program. By "outdated" I mean it doesn't cover (important) C99 or any later revisions. K&R doesn't even mention that some standard library functions are not safe. (use strncpy or strlcpy instead of strcpy. Also, you need to always check whatever a function returns, because (for example) a malloc or a fork can fail).

>C Primer Plus by Prata
It's up-to-date but the writing style can be a bit verbose...

>C Programming: A Modern Approach
Really good book. Read this after K&R or C Primer Plus.

>Hacking: The Art of Exploitation
This book is a good book, too. It teaches you the basics of various things, including sockets and cryptography.

>use strncpy
Don't use strncpy, it's as unsecure as strcpy if you're not careful. If you don't have strlcpy, either write your own, use snprintf, or make sure you do proper bounds checking before calling strcpy.

>>5241
>you need to always check whatever a function returns, because a malloc can fail
What is "the" popper way to do error handling? Wrapping everything in if blocks is insane. I found several common ways, but don't know which is the best.
>fail-fast if clauses
Bad because of multiple exit path and missing clean up
>goto error
I found this in kernel sources, don't know if this is a good idea. But this makes the function big and hard to read.
What is your way of doing this?

>>5245
>But this makes the function big and hard to read.
What? This is what makes it smaller, that you don't have to copy the clean-up logic at every exit point.
There's also the brutal call abort()/exit() if something unexpected fails. Used by e.g. glib when malloc fails, so calling g_malloc will guarantee to return a valid pointer, or kill your program if it can't. Depending on your use case it might or might not be ok.
But that's about what you can get in C, you'd need for example C++ and its destructors to hide this boilerplate from your code.

>>5244
This is good advice. Some people have a misconception that they just need to replace strcpy with strncpy and they are done.


>>5245
The post was triggering a word filter for whatever reason.
https://pst.moe/paste/awoanc

>>5247 (test copy pasting)
>triggering a word filter
You should always remember to do something like this:
possible language: c++, relevance: 28
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define LEN 8

int
main(void) {
  int* ptr = (int*) calloc(LEN, sizeof(int));
  if(ptr) {
    puts("success");
    //do_stuff();
  } else {
    fprintf(stderr, "malloc failed. aborting..." );
    abort();
  }
 
  for(unsigned int i = 0; i <= LEN; i++) {
    printf("index: %d is %d\n", i , ptr[i]);
  }

  free(ptr);
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

>What is "the" popper way to do error handling? 
I'm not honestly sure. Either abort() as >>5246 said, or try to malloc first a small amount of memory and remalloc more once you are running out of space.

>goto
goto statements, in general, should be used to jump only a short distance, like this:https://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/Goto
Or: https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/MEM12-C.+Consider+using+a+goto+chain+when+leaving+a+function+on+error+when+using+and+releasing+resources
You should also read the classic article by Dijkstra: http://www.u.arizona.edu/~rubinson/copyright_violations/Go_To_Considered_Harmful.html

>>5248
>try to malloc first a small amount of memory and remalloc more once you are running out of space
Unless you're trying to write a resizable array implementation (aka std::vector in c++), I'm not sure what are you trying to accomplish.
Also, handling failed malloc is a bit icky, because there are OSes like Linux which does memory overcommit which means even if malloc returns successfully, it doesn't mean that there's actual memory available for you. (This is somewhat required if you want fork to work with processes that use a lot of memory).

>>5248
God that's some truly horrible C++nigger C. You passed an unsigned int to a signed int printf conversion specifier and you have a buffer overread because your loop says "i <= LEN" and not "i < LEN". 

Then there's the bad C style that doesn't have any bug here but creates brittle code that's going to be a big source of breakage in the future. The unneeded C-style cast in calloc()'s return value hides compiler warnings. 
size_t is the type for measuring objects because it's the type that's large enough to hold the size of the biggest object possible, int will wrap around if the object behind *ptr grows too large. The original TrackMania stores the size of VRAM inside an int, I couldn't play that on my GTX 780 (3072MiB VRAM) because it thinks the card has -1GiB of memory and refuses to run.

Here's a more C-like C:
language: c
int
main(void)
{
    int *ptr;
    size_t ptrlen;
    size_t i;
    ptrlen = 8;
    if ((ptr = calloc(ptrlen, sizeof(*ptr))) == NULL)
        err(1, "calloc");
    
    for (i = 0; i < ptrlen; i++)
        printf("index %zu is %d\n", i, ptr[i]);
    
    free(ptr);
    exit(0);
}

>err() is nonstandard
Don't care, use a compatibility library if the program is ever ported to a platform that doesn't have it.
>why exit instead of returning?
You can call main() in C. That would be a pretty stupid thing to do but I like when the program's semantics are strict, so there's no return.
>write C89 for portability
I'd rather leave 1989 safe and sound back in 1989. If the program is ever ported to a C89-only compiler (it won't be), then a compat library with a printf that accepts a size_t is the way to go.

>>5254
If you don't care about c89, then why do you put all variable declarations at the beginning of the function?

>>5257
It makes it easy to look up all the local variables used by the function and remember their types and names. Their declarations are also deliberately placed in the order of use.

The ffmpeg wiki is mostly just an infodump of everything you can do and how to do it. It doesn't go in depth into the pros and cons of certain options and doesn't give you any special tips besides using 2-pass.

how do you hide empty CDROMS on windows? i have some rarely used virtual drives installed it does bother me slightly on the file explorer and the drive letter is always occupied (on virtual disks i can just unmount and it disappears on explorer easily)

>>5299 >>5300 >>5301
go to the ffmpeg thread my comment got moved there >>128 also i might actually need this since im trying to make some webms 4chan 4MB compatible (fuck moot btw)

>>5302
Use a search engine, the first fucking result of "hide empty CDROMS on windows".

>>5303 (i can technically remove it easily by disabling the winarchiver virtual drive but connecting and disconnecting over again might cause the win7 kernel to shit itself)
this is what i actually searched first but the hide empty drives checkbox did not work gonna try the registry tweak later (for vbox i manage to solve it easily by removing the virtual cdrom)

on-topic question related to networking (this definitely sounds silly but im just asking this in advance when i get a light notebook/ rooted tablet for travelling)
can you encrypt the network with your own key on openvpn and then send it to a public vpn server then the home server decrypts the connection before sending it to the internet within my bare home IP address
bottom line basically i wanna double tunnel my connection and send it back home since nord is pozzed and make it appear is if my long distance device was just locally connected to wifi/lan so i could easily access my pc and send the wake on lan packets (my x88 box might get repurposed just for this since its always on and autoboots whenever i plug the 5v charger)

on the home server can you have 2 openvpn instances running simultaneously? i wanna try out nordvpn and expressvpn for a month even though they are backdoored (a high speed networking bridge is all that really matters to me and the host will use bare IP without VPN)
so basically i want to use nordvpn on the one VM group and expressvpn on the other VM group both VPNs must run in the host and cannot be disabled or configured by the guest in any way. do i need a router VM or can i just do this all on my host?

second question but is there a way to get my celeron craptop server to boot from SDcard (the card is not detected in BIOS but linux detects is just fine as a mmcblk device indicating that the BIOS driver is gone or the device is ignored on bootup)
looking at the PCB there is a unoccupied EMMC slot indicating that card support is there but somehow turned off the bios there is also a tiny sata port header (can confirm using lspci) with missing socket there is also a type-c plug which is missing next to the micro hdmi
bottom line is there some kind of EFI bootloader app that i can run on the flash drive then boot it into the SDcard then unplug the usb afterwards (similar to uefi-ntfs)
the usb is bulky and i need that spare drive back and when i plug other things into the spare usb hub port the whole thing malfunctions and crashes so i just wanna run the OS from the card since ubuntu is very light and i still get 6gb of free space after install
>just use a card reader
while it works fine the point is i need to free up one of the USB ports so it will no longer depend on the hub and use the built in reader which is based off realtek (there is also a intel SDhost reader there after checking lspci)
>inb4 google it
same old generic partition manager scams also it says that this is dependent on the bios meaning not all devices are supported (strangely mine can boot on uefi usbs without the fat32 partition but the lenovo cant detect ntfs bootloaders in the bios)

last question but can the m.2 sata port be used for eGPU pci risers? does it use the same PCI standard? or do i need strictly NVME port on the device (there was a guy who tried booting the steam deck on external gpu by using the ssd port)

You can extract every single frame and convert to something else with ffmpeg.

>>5342
If you don't mind using the command line there's ImageMagick but it only deals with images, so you'll need Ffmpeg alongside it...
1. Convert an animated webp into multiple png frames:
convert -coalesce INPUT.webp OUTPUT%05d.png
2. Combine all png frames into a video (assuming rgb video which is lossless but huge):
ffmpeg -r FPS -start_number 0 -i OUTPUT%05d.png -r FPS -c:v libx264rgb -crf 0 OUTPUT.mp4

If you want to know the FPS of the original webp, run:
identify -verbose INPUT.webp
and look for the word Delay which will be in the format NxM, to get the FPS calculate M/N (M divided by N). Hope this helps.

>>4860 >>4861 thanks for the hint i figured it out myself afterwards (managed to install ddrescue on my ubuntu test VM they even have graph viewer which is nice will do this to celeron pc later)
will i risk corrupting the data stream if i use crappy but fully functional USB HUB? what if accidentally nudge the port a bit any CRC correction or other safety measures?
are power delivery issues a problem? since generic phone charger does not work with the hub (the celeron only has 1 usb3.0 and one usb2.0 and the charger is 12V 2A and it stayed strong for 20 days uptime just testing it)
should i do this on my legion instead since mine has 4 full usb3.0 ports and the charger is rather strong (on liveCD since it should work just fine unless there is a bug in the ubuntu settings like sleep/wake which they havent fixed in 21.04)

hmm maybe i could use dynamic VMDK/VDI disk instead of formatting the device? this way i dont need to make sparse file instead the disk slowly expands (will i end up corrupting the virtual drive if i use this method)

should i replace my empty ext4 partition with BTRFS instead? i heard its really stable as long as you don't do RAID setups the sparse fie ruins it maybe i should just use the built in zstd compression instead of using losetup just for safety reasons (ill just zip them afterwards when transferring to new disk)

alright /g/ im think im going nuts i have a strong urge to disassemble my device and replace the micron 512gb nvme with a cheap m.2 128gb sata SSD (from the repair store)
should i do it? its getting a bit full (the original drive is healthy but i wanna experiment with linux using a budget disk since USB is unreliable even if i dont nudge the drive)
i dont have time to backup my files so ill just use a new drive and i just keep delaying it with my adhd (this also disables self healing bios which may be needed for custom mod)
if nothing else works i will go back to windows by reinserting the drive in the second slot and dual booting it (should i give up on vfio altogether? i feel hopeless since my bios is a bit bugged but perfectly stable)
perhaps i can use this SSD for experimenting with other OS and see which one has better vGPU support (like windows 11 for GPU-P if vgpu unlock fails spectacularly on ubuntu)

i just want try jewbuntu for a short time since the liveCD isn't enough and i may need a persistent installation (is it a good idea /g/ i want an honest opinion? since you seem to be experts at cli programs)
i wanna keep the capacity small so i dont end up doing jack shit even if i did i could easily ddrescue/clonezilla the SSD and start over from scratch and preserve 4tb HDD space
should i disable dGPU in the bios (if the option is there) for successful splitting? and then send the command to re enable it when the hypervisor is ready
is the SR-IOV option required for vGPU? its not in my bios settings even though mine is unlocked (and a bit buggy) i double checked it
is there a developer manual/documentation for the AMD bios firmware? there are lots of unknown settings there and googling does not yield useful results
did some searching it looks like you can see if a device supports SR-IOV by checking [capabilities] using lspci and adding -vvvvv parameter (not sure if this is accurate or reliable)

Yes. BTRFS is a better fs than Ext4 in almost every way, so go ahead. Don't forget to set your fstab entries from realtime to noatime once you install your distro on it.

If you don't have a reason to switch, then no. BTRFS used to have some stability issues some years ago, but I don't know how stable it is today.

How come there isn't a single lossy video coded that can properly handle static images.

>>5412
What do you mean by handling static images? vp9 and h.265 both save space when it is dealing with still images.

>>5413
They still frequently update the image even with minimum framerate and the like. 
vp9 is particularly bad because of how webms work, with mp4 codecs being slightly better but still having considerable overhead.

It's a still image, should take much less time to do.

The question is backwards. How come there aren't any imageboard engines besides jschan that can properly process music files with artwork attached to them? Making webms out of static pictures was always a hack workaround for retarded website coding.

Linuxfag here, I have two 1920x1200 monitors. Wanted to play some old vidya in wine, but fullscreen in unusably buggy, but found some xrandr command to upscale the whole monitor nicely:
https://tanalin.com/en/articles/integer-scaling/
xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --scale 0.5x0.5 --filter nearest
Except in this case the right monitor stays at +1920+0, and I have a large invisible space between the two monitors. --right-of doesn't work either, I think it just ignores the scale, but xrandr --output DVI-D-1 --pos 960x0 fixes the problem, except that now I can't move my mouse from the right monitor to the left on the lower half of the screen (I guess because there's nothing there, but it's pretty annoying). Interestingly with --pos 961x0, I can move my mouse to the left, it's just I'll have an another invisible area.
The ideal setup would be to just snap the mouse to the bounds of the left monitor when I want to mouse to the left instead of just blocking the movement. Is it possible somehow?
(The actual ideal solution would be to just upscale the game window and nothing else, but that looks impossible. I mean someone found a way using xvnc and a vnc viewer that supports scaling, but I'm sure that would kill graphics performance...)

Jschan already supports music with artwork, but not on all IBs. For example it works here but not on anon cafe.

>>5470
Does WINE_FULLSCREEN_INTEGER_SCALING=1 work?

>>5471
Anoncafe doesn't use jschan...
>>5473
Isn't that for fullscreen only? And as far as I know, it's only supported by proton, not vanilla wine.

>>5474
Tried this https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope?
Fixing the xrandr problem would be tedious.

>>5475
Doesn't work on nvidia (especially not on the legacy drivers, that are not going to receive updates, even if nvidia fixes their shit)

>>5476
https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/issues/151#issuecomment-1078750218
They're "working on it"™

>>5477
Yes, but they need support from the nvidia driver, and I doubt they'll care about adding it to legacy drivers (I have a GT640, which is like a 10 years old card at this point. I should really get a new card, but fuck the GPU prices...)

>>5478
>Yes, but they need support from the nvidia driver
They're getting it. If you'd open the link you would've known.

>>5479
It doesn't mention 470 drivers will get it. Also,
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142
unless they regard it as a critical bug (which I doubt), there won't be anything.

>>5476
>having nvidiot gpu
That aside, fixing xrandr is the only option for now. Paste output of xrandr --verbose after you enable integer scaling.

I haven't been able to get it to work, but try panning one of the other screen. This may allow mouse movement to the other screen without invisible space.

>>5483
>panning
Uh, I tried it in the past, and I think it's even more annoying than my current setup.
Also, in the meantime I tried xpra because I already use it for remote desktop and it supports scaling, but unfortunately it adds so much lag even on localhost that it's unusable for anything except maybe board/turn based games where reaction time never matters.

>>5484
I meant the panning trick where the panning size is the scaled screen. Since panning allows mouse wrap, a no-op panning should do the trick without visual difference. But I could get it to work.

>>5486
couldn't*

Okay, I got tired of nothing working correctly, and hacked around the Xephyr source, until I had something that somewhat works. Expects your host X to have 32bpp graphics and glamor doesn't work, and inside you only have llvmpipe and no real opengl, but for the 2d game I'm trying to run it looks enough. Change the SCALE in hostx.h if you want a non 2x scale. And fuck X developers for being lazy bitch asses.

Is it possible to use JDownloader2 without X and without needing a gay myjdownloader account?

>>5495
>JDownloader2
I don't know but you could try to use aria2c+yt-dlp+gallery-dl+gdown+megatools.

>>5497
>mega
I wish people would use that and not random obscure shit that throws recaptcha at you and throttles downloads to 100 KiB/s without paying

>>5498
Mega throttles as well and cuts off your download the moment you hit their limit. MegaBasterd gets around it only if you have a VPN and by automating the process somewhat. MediaFire has been my goto "slap it up there for now" fileshare and I have never had an issue with it. They even gave me 50GB of free storage just because I had an account before they did their big pricing changeover.

>>5499
megatools over tor

>>5498
I'd much rather some shitty site that throttles my connection but actually lets me download it over mega. They just come up with bullshit to try and make you pay all the time. Their latest top jew scam even broke jdownloader for large files.

>>5499
But at least you can circumvent said limit by changing the IP, and at least you can download with normal speeds until it. Even though, yeah, they can pull some jew tactics with huge files.

this might sound silly but what is the fastest VPN out there? i dont care if its glowniggered or datamining like nordvpn speed and latency is all that really matters for me
i will encrypt the network on my rooted phone myself before sending it to the target server i need the VPN as a bridge when i travel and there are lots of new ISPs and eccentric router configurations on the hotel network sometimes i might use 4g too
bottom line i need a reliable internet pathway and a vpn that supports lots of obscure and thirdworld countries all data is sent back to the home network as if my device were connected locally
gonna use it to autobackup /trv/ photos and control my workstation VM from there which one do you recommend? any cheap options or do i need to use expensive solutions? is wireguard better than traditional openvpn?

thanks gonna check that out

what would be the best ideal program to edit/design/program .efi/bootmgr files (second pic unrelated) (i wont use a hex editor i have no idea how assembly works)
the newest version of sergei strelec has a fully functional bootloader however the fancy boot screen colors are gone how can i put this feature back without causing errors? it looks really nice (swapping the files for the old loader works fine but they changed lots of stuff under the hood and i want minimal bugs)
also how do you modify .wims and still make it fully bootable? i wanna fix and translate the russian version since they added a bit of extra stuff in there (RIP the site is down for a week can anyone QRD 2022 killed another victim)

Redpill me on SSDs. Are they worth it, or are they just a cringe and gay Reddit meme? What if I use them only for the OS so that it would be MUH FAST, and store most of my files on HDDs?

>>5552
These days, I'd say unless you have a lot of data, just get an SSD, since they're not that expensive and much faster compared to HDDs (even if you only have SATA and not M.2). If you're worried about losing your data, make backups. If you have a lot of data, get an SSD for the OS and the things you access often, and use HDD for data where speed doesn't matter but use a lot of space (torrent folder, backups, your anime collection, etc).

>>5552
Yes. SSD is the single most cost efficient upgrade any computer with hdd can get. They are more expensive, have less storage space and shorter life. But even the cheapest ssd from a known brand is a lot faster then a hdd for running programs and the os.
They are busy putting ssds in shit laptops with pentium cpus and they still managed to run botnet 11, pricing over 200.

>>5552
>Are they worth it, 
No.
If you want to save money when building a PC, you should use a HDD and buy (or reuse) a cheaper keyboard. Honestly, I would get more RAM or save some money by using HDDs only.

>What if I use them only for the OS so that it would be MUH FAST, and store most of my files on HDDs?
If you get a SSD, then you should do that. Honestly, I would just buy 1-2 HDDs. a SSD will improve load/save times.

>>5552
Way faster but less durable and more expensive. 
Get one for your OS and vidya with large loading times. Just keep the files that are rewritten often (like saves) in a HDD just in case.

>>5552
SSDs are a stopgap measure against bad software.
A HDD can read at 200MiB/s. There's no excuse for your entire OS and all the programs in it not being loaded into RAM in a second. The only reason it happens is bad software.
The real fix is to boycott bad software. Soon, a 3GiB/s SSD won't be fast enough either because the issue wasn't fixed at the source.

>>5558
The issue is not throughput but seek/response time. You are right about bad software, but unless you can fit all software into your ram, seek time is currently the biggest bottleneck for responsiveness.

looking for conflicting packages...

Oh great! What does this suppose to mean? it's in the community repo. Why isn't it safe from infringing freedom.

>>5552
I bought an SSD, moved my root partition there and updating 500 packages now only takes 3 minutes as opposed to 40 so I'd say they're worth it.
My HDD is also way faster now that the seeker doesn't have to zigzag between root and home anymore.

I have been interested in technology my whole life and went to college for a B.S. in Information Systems. During my first summer break I worked for what you would call a MSP and learned more there than I really did for the rest of my college years. When the scamdemic hit and we got kicked off campus I switched to hybrid/online classes and worked with the MSP full-time. Last year I got a new job as essentially a grunt tech guy for an enterprise network that pays much better compared to my last job and simultaneously learning within the first few weeks that my previous MSP was a complete idiot and I have no idea how he’s still in business. I graduated last week, but I am feeling conflicted with what I really want to do with my life.
Basically, I want to be gamedev but I still want to learn more about InfoSys, however I am not sure that I can do both at once. I have been learning Godot and GDScript as well as Linux sysadmin, Docker, Postgres, etc.. My job has potential for advancement, but it's a 99.9% Microsoft system that is hybrid on-site/Azure and to tell the truth I really couldn't care less about M$ and their systems. I want to learn more about Linux but this job does not have a place for a Linux guy. Additionally, the position I am in right now pays well and has plenty of downtime that I have been using to study for certs and learn about game development. Ideally, I would like to stay in this job for a while and learn all I can for my personal benefit while putting money away, then eventually branching out into doing my own thing with game development, hiring others, and setting up and managing my own indie dev studio. How feasible would something like this be? What are the biggest issues I am going to encounter?

>>5570
The biggest issues you are going to encounter is hating what you like. Gamedev seems good but wageslaving that is hell unless you are a turbo rainbow faggot. Sysadmin can be relaxing if the company hits the sweet spot of ignorance. Not too stupid to withhold authority, make shit purchases and enforce retarded policies. Not too smart to know sysadmin can be fully automated and you simple sit there all day fapping to hanime and creeping on stacy.
No matter what, work for yourself. Do something that you personally want. If you need to work for money, try to save as much time as possible for yourself, work remote and automate your work. Your ultimate goal should be buying the most amount of time for yourself, whatever that is for, maybe working on your farm, designing next generation gas chamber and cremator, choosing a slave in third world country, work for yourself.

>>5552
SSDs for things you want to open quickly. HDDs for mass storage. Remember that SSDs are a little less privacy-friendly because they have hardware that turns off sections of the SSD if it's faulty. That means you can't access those sections with software, so deleted things might not actually be deleted.

>>5579
>they have hardware that turns off sections of the SSD if it's faulty
And so does any HDD made in the last 20 years. If you don't want your data to be recoverable, encrypt the disk.

>>5580
SSD encryption takes special consideration on trim: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Specialties#Discard/TRIM_support_for_solid_state_drives_(SSD)
Without trim, ssd life span is shortened. With trim, security can be compromised.

>>5579
>a little less privacy-friendly because they have hardware that turns off sections of the SSD if it's faulty. That means you can't access those sections with software, so deleted things might not actually be deleted.
This is also an issue with HDD, it's just that on HDD you can (temporarily) unset the bad sectors and still have access over sectors marked as "bad" or are inaccessible (keep in mind these may be false positives and the files on that sectors are probably still intact, hence the creation of such tool).
HDDs with bad sector (assuming without encryption) is a privacy issue (if it contains personal files or your credentials), although there's ways to still access or unlock those easily, the problem is SSDs would have multiple copies everywhere assuming you have QLC SSD that means the files are mirrored 4x on each "cell" or even 8x or 16x depending on the TBW rating (some do double the capacity for reliability or keep a shadow/clone somewhere) while its proprietary and diverse implementations make it worse than HDD but all SSD/SSHD/HDD do leak your stuff (this also includes SD cards and other traditional storage mediums, no one really knows what the firmware does when it has its own CPU).

>>5552
SSD (SATA) do get different performance boosts on certain file operations however they can be just as slow as the trusty HDD.
The problem is modern SMR HDD can be slower than a slow SSD since it would have to rewrite the sectors for every overlap (despite being marketed now as 200MB/s+ they fare worse than the average 160MB/s of SATA3 HDDs).

On "ssd.userbenchmark" website, SSDs marketed as "up to 520MB/s" by manufacturer only work around 210MB/s with typical real world use.
HDDs (assuming CMR) are always gonna be 150-200MB/s so if you're getting the cheap SSDs, you might as well just spend it on a trusty 3.5" HDD and enjoy seeding/downloading torrents (torrents can kill SSDs due to fragments and write/read operations exhausting the TBW while also the firmware balancing the "cells" exhausts the TBW too but silently).

My recommendation is to do your research and align your SSD partitions. This is also a thing with HDDs and I got faster cache (theoretically write-) performance when I aligned my HDDs
Alignment calculator I use https://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/157

The thing is SSDs that are 120/240GB are somewhat terrible since their alignments are weird, it's probably a better idea to look for 128/256GB (multiples of 128) SSDs since they can be aligned properly BUT it's still terrible, maybe it's worth investing if you're someone who does renders or needs fast file system but it's typically terrible for torrents and if you happen to leave them unused for 6 months you'll probably lose your files (HDDs don't). Also, avoid SATA SSD if possible and just go NVMe since the SATA SSDs are priced worse than NVMe ones although I don't really recommend SSD ever unless you're getting datacenter MLC/SLC SSD (NVMe).

>What if I use them only for the OS so that it would be MUH FAST
That's fine too but I'd just use it for /swap, hibernation, /boot/ but then keep in mind it's not that reliable despite the marketing and shillings, the SSD tech itself (TLC and above) already prove that SSDs are unreliable and has to mirror the bits to 3 or more chips due to its unreliable nature of bits flipping themselves and the firmware having to guess the bits during access (however not a problem with SLC/MLC SSDs).

>>5586
>not a problem with MLC SSDs
They just layered more sophisticated firmware on top of them, it is a problem with the MLC NAND raw flash chips.

you can always find the "windows loader" and "kms pico" although the sources/mirrors of legit copy are hard to find, I have it but I don't think it's a clean copy since I probably swapped it with the fake one at some point. Every other sources are infected. windows loader works for anything up to win 7 (except enterprise versions but oddly I think works on server version). kms pico also unlocks office.
both works although there's an issue with windows update service, I typically recommend disabling it for privacy and security reasons but if you do it would shit itself and leak memory causing your ram to get full for no good reason (other than trigger telemetry due to "bug" report) and recently they also now warn users who use these so I just don't recommend updates.
>intel XE
keep in mind this would lock you into using windows 10+ since that's the only OS that probably has the drivers otherwise you need to install the .cab drivers during installation for older versions, I don't recommend new windows, I've never even touched windows 10 since I daily drive loonix now.
>RDP
it glows and you should avoid it (either way you can't completely disable it, t. tried to debloat windows before it was "cool" and I am one of those who found the telemetry/customerexperience bullshit.

SLC are far more reliable but the materials are either unavailable or they just all agreed (Phoebus cartel 2.0) to put storage a notch down.
Pic for brevity.

When they use "sampling distribution" to determine the bit (SSD), there is ABSOLUTELY something TERRIBLY wrong.
Another one of those "engineering problem solved by firmware" like with the MCAS to that plane, "let's make the firmware solve the engineering issue (economics/profit)", same with SMR drives, firmware does more thing (rewrite all overlap, and weird sector) in exchange of using the same or less amounts of platter, at the cost of worse performance and reliability, or maybe, it's the profit. I say boycott these hardware.

is there a way to control/enable the simple white keyboard backlight at will by poking the i2c/gpio/serial without pressing anything at all?
i have wires soldered to the keyboard LEDs what command do i use to determine sensors/pins involved whenever i press fn+space i dont have an arduino so im using this broken throwaway pc in the meantime the system is managed using remote desktop and ssh also what program do i use to send the webcam mic audio over the network since anydesk sucks
when i run lspci why is there so many UART and i2c connectors on my celeron what are those for? how do i probe this stuff? i dont notice hidden solder points on the board

>>4117 https://archive.is/4j9nj
nope its not just me on the legion xubuntu 22.04 i also get this graphical error on the task manager weird also i never managed to disable that SGX thing but it didnt really matter since the system is still stable on ubuntu though there is a bit of latency when using anydesk but this is normal
(for some reason they still hasn't fixed the lock screen bug yet even if i set it to always on the screen still turns off after 30 minutes and i have to press some buttons just to keep using anydesk very inconvenient especially when im outside)

>>5387
i heard ext4 has rather limited compression support besides the partition is empty anyway btrfs supports this naitively but you have to mount via command line rather than file manager (strangely gsmartcontrol cant detect my drive on linux but it works fine on winPE)

noatime = "Don't log the time when the file was accessed.

>realtime
I don't know what "realtime" does, but there is a option called relatime that "updates the access time only if the previous access time was earlier than the current modify or change time."
>https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fstab#atime_options

is there an invidious like 4chan frontend?

>>5605
No, but there archive sites that have ghost posting enabled. Also, there is/was an userscript called 4chanX. Also, add the ((( ekansovi ))) et. al. to ublock origin. There are also some android apps (like Clover), but I don't know which one werks.

Do anyone know something like org-mode's time clocking that's not stuck in the 18th century and has seconds (or better) precision (or at least not that pajeet tier code that org-mode is copy-pasting the same fucking regex all over the place and assuming that a time has no components other than hours and minutes)? No fancy UI or cloud garbage, just shove the start-end times and durations into a text file.

How do I push for more cpu frequency points without crashing? Like there is a limit right now that I couldn't overclock anymore without crashing.

>>5609
What do you mean by time clocking? If you want any special date, man 1 date
No homo.
>>5617
Increase voltage, tons of tutorials online.

>>5618
Something that records start and end time of some activity and calculates the total time spent doing something. Yeah, I could do something like date >> random_file every time, and throw together some script to calculate the time differences, I just hoped someone already made that.

>>5609
So you want to print the time to a text file in a certain format and you also use Emacs? Then it's very easy to do. Do M-1 M-! and then run date and see what happens. That's inconvenient, though, so I recommend making a new function, and you can do that using only shell-command because it takes an output buffer as an optional argument, so you can just use the (current-buffer) function as the argument. If you don't like the default output of date either, read the man page and change it.

(defun shell-to-buffer ()
    (interactive)
    "Runs a shell command and prints the output to the current buffer."
    (shell-command "date" (current-buffer)))
(global-set-key (kbd "s-t") 'shell-to-buffer)

Change the binding to whatever you want, if you even want one. Maybe there's a better way, but this is what I would do. You could even change this to run the selection in a buffer as a shell command. Maybe I should do that, I have played with Acme a bit recently and it's pretty interesting.

>>5618
Already max voltage bozo, what else can I do?

>>5623
It was supposed to be date-to-buffer, not shell-to-buffer. But you get the idea.

Actually not just the date, but intervals like org does in pic related. And parsing back dates is a major pita.

>>5624
Get another CPU/chipset, hardware hacks and unlocked bios. These are very model specific. Also keep an eye on temperature, if you are at max voltage, it's gonna be hot.

>>5626
I don't use those features at all, so I can't give you exactly what you want, but if the info documentation for time in org-mode doesn't help you change that, you're just going to have to implement it yourself.

>And parsing back dates is a major pita.
Personally I would rather do that than figure out how to modify anything made by another human being. Technology is such a complicated mess that it's easier for me to reinvent it from scratch than to try to understand it, even when I have no idea how to do that either.

what linux sound alternatives are there to pulseaudio and how would i install them? and would removing avahi cause any issues? i want my PC to be free of the german megalomaniac's claws.

>>5609
Write your own program that calls clock_gettime in C.

>>5644
Alsa. If you don't need per application volume control and switching audio device on the fly.
I don't have any other bullshit installed.

>>5650
You can also try pipewire if you need those features. It's also bullshit, but still a bit better than pulseaudio.

>>5644
Pipewire or ALSA. Void Linux also has support for sndio. ALSA is pain to configure and Pipewire is (supposed to be) just a better version of Pukeaudio. 
>https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pipewire
>https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire (also read this if you are on Gentoo or if you don't use Systemd)

>>5667
>ALSA is pain to configure
Took me a few days to figure at the start. Most of that is due to piss poor docs, once you get to know it, it's not that bad. Check the example configurations came with the libraries.

PipeWire has lower latency and more features than PulseAudio, but PW does have worse audio quality and performance than PA does. Install PA, listen to a song, then uninstall it, and install PW. Now do another listening test with the same song. If you can't notice a difference, then stick with PW.
