Based on that most SBC computers (that use real ARM CPUs) are still barely able to do that, I don't think it's anywhere near. Maybe some old/retro OS designed for the microcomputers of the 80s/very early 90s could be made run on this with acceptable speed, but anything after that, not really.

<still limited by a 10-year-old celeron

Look here, listen, nigger. You asked and those are the answers I can think off of. Unfortunately in gay ass clown world with AMD laptops there are desktop replacements and there are budget chrome books, no in between (Inb4 someone claims intel kickbacks again).
I don’t think something exists in the vein you are looking for otherwise that isn’t chinkshit the Xiaomi with a 3060 ultraslim. The Cleveo oem stuff is from Taiwan and Dell has a few “professional” laptops I have had horrible experiences with.
Toshiba did make an AMD mid ranged laptop but I have never use used that one so no comments as to quality. I think it was 900 ish post tax.

Is there any computer that has multiple CPUs of different architectures? Like both an ARM and an x86 CPU. (Having an embedded ARM CPU in your SSD controller and the likes doesn't count, only if you can use both freely from your OS).
I know that Sony did it with some consoles (they included an extra MIPS CPU, for backward compatibility with PS1 games), but other than that?

>>11964
probably not in a way where they would both be accessible at the same time and share the same resources. the PS1 chip in the PS2 was exclusive, if you started playing a PS1 game i don't think it would use the PS2 chip at all until you restarted the console.

>>11965
I don't know about PS2, but in Vita, the ARM CPU definitely keeps running after you start a PS1/PSP game (and they use it to emulate the GPU, since they only included the CPU from PS1/PSP). And of course you can always pause/exit the game, and go back to the normal Vita UI.
Heck, there were some exploits for vita, where you had to load a modified savegame in a PSP game, and running in the emulator, using bugs in the game and the emulator they got code execution on the ARM cores.

>>11964
Sega Saturn.

>>11964
Also, the Nintendo DS.
The DS has 2 ARM CPUs, but each implements a different and incompatible version of ARM. One can't run the other's code.

>>11971
>Sega Saturn.
<CPU: 2× Hitachi SH-2 @ 28.6 MHz
Isn't that just a normal dual CPU setup?
>>11972
>Nintendo DS
<CPU: 67 MHz ARM946E-S, 33 MHz ARM7TDMI
Wouldn't code written for arm7 work on the arm9 core too?
I mean, some arm big.little CPUs do this, where the big and little cores implement different subset of instructions for ultimate mindfuck, but the base instruction set is the same, and as long as you don't use any instructions only supported by the big core, you're fine.

>>11973
The chips in the DS don't implement subsets of a common ARM version, they implement different versions. People say "ARM CPUs" out there, but in actuality ARM already has 9 incompatible generations of ISAs. This allows ARM to innovate and to clean up, and as a result, the latest ARM is a much better ISA than x64.

The ARM7TDMI CPU implements the ARMv3 ISA. The ARM946E-S CPU implements the ARMv5TE ISA. They can't run each other's code.


The Sega Saturn has "hardware acceleration" for sound, graphics, and more, but it predates the creation of chip designs specifically made for those tasks, so instead it has run off the mill CPUs for that, and you program them in their assemblies like any CPU. For instance, the Saturn's soundcard is actually a Motorola 68EC000, NetBSD still runs on machines that use that as the main CPU.

How do I fixed wine's font rendering for nipponese RPG2k3 games?
easyRPG renders text correctly but either can't play back nipponese .wav files or has trouble parsing the filenames for some reason while the RPG_RT.exe via wine doesn't.
The easyRPG website has an old guide for disabling font smoothing in Wine but it does nothing.
There's still the option of pulling out the ever-reliable Japanese Win98 VM, but that seems somewhat inappropriate for a game that first released in 2015.

>>11980
You probably already did it, but did you run wine with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 ?

>>11980
You'll definitely need some decent bitmap font, because from the screenshot it looks like it only supports 1 bit colors, and vector fonts without antialiasing look horrible. Pull the nip fonts from the nip win98 VM and put it into wine's fonts dir, that should help.

Perplexingly enough the MIDI playback in Win98 through Dosbox' MPU-401 sounds objectively superior to Fluidsynth for some reason in spite of using the same sf2, and Wine can't into fullscreen mode with RPG2k so I might as well play it the way it was never intended to.

In most cases downloading the appropriate CJK fonts with winetricks/your package manager and setting LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 in your CLI before running wine or the game, things like DirectX and other dependencies should work fine regardless of language.
In case the game has weird font autism grabbing a font off of an old Japanese Windows disk image can suffice in some cases, but if the game has deep set autism in the form of Shift-JIS character encoding then I have no clue as that locale seems objectively cursed outside of Windows with only ((( Red Hat ))) supposedly having a paywalled Enterprise solution no one's seemed to have any interest in pirating.
That said I do believe Wine does some internal conversion between SJIS and UTF-8, RPGツクール2000 for example came out during a time when SJIS was the dominant Nipponese character encoding standard yet it has no issue reading filenames and paths encoded in UTF-8 through Wine.

Any game with lolis in it that's not an explicit eroge or solely adult-oriented visual novel/hentai strategy autism affair.
Children in vidya and RL don't know many 漢字 so they sparingly use them, this can be helpful for learning when both a kid and an older or more knowledgeable Kanji-using character talk about the same subject.
As for individual games, off the back of my head there's 海底囚人's RPGM games which are perfectly family friendly affairs with moderate amounts of 漢字 usage where nothing bad happens.
RPGM games in general are plentiful and due to their toaster nature can be made to work even through unorthodox methods, however I don't know much beyond anything listed on one of the many charts passed around old 8chan as I primarily emulate 6th gen console games for that time period.

Unfortunately it's not that easy, unlike corefonts. microsoft didn't release CJK fonts for free, so you have the various winetricks fakejapanese_* fonts, but they're substituting the microsoft fonts with some random free fonts. Works in some cases, but many games have texts manually positioned, and if your replacement font is one pixel wider/taller/narrower/whatever, it can break down easily.
With older games you also have the problem that they expect bitmap fonts which these replacements lack, freetype will try to render some bitmaps in this case, but you'll end up with vomit like in >>11980.
>SJIS
Almost everyone other than win9x and apps written against the win9x ansi apis (which actually include 99% of nip software because they can't code) use unicode these days. Wine should handle the conversion fine (both for filenames and contents). You also have iconv -f sjis if you need to read a nip readme or something. Use LC_ALL=C 7z x to unpack non-unicode zip files and then fix the result with convmv

They're the same as their western versions gameplay wise, though the OG Nipponese Pokeman games actually released as Red and Green in February 1996 with Blue coming out in October of that year.
The Final Faggotry games while overrated don't objectively shit themselves until the Square-Enix ((( merger ))), past that point there's still a number of excellent-to-okay spinoff titles before it descends into autism and western poz during the 7th generation.
There's also the DQ games which didn't get natively ESG'd until recently, but I'm less familiar with those and if you don't like them either the SFC has such a massive load of JRPGs and SRPGs that were never released elsewhere you should be fine assuming you have a no-intro set like a civilized man.

One thing I forgot to mention is that RPGM versions past 2k3 can't into Midi playback in Wine for some reason even with an external Midi synth, but this can be nigger rigged by converting any midi files in the Audio folder of a game to ogg, then deleting the midis forcing the Game.exe to play back the ogg files.

>>12001
You can try winetricks directmusic gmdls, that fixed midi playback in a specific rpgm xp game for me, but at the same time it also broke mp3 playback, so yeah. If you go with the mid->ogg conversion way, be sure to also convert the mids in the RTP folder, some games love to reuse the standard music.
Here's a wine bugreport from 2007: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10791

>>12002
>winetricks directmusic gmdls
That used to work until the first Spectre/Meltdown patches hit the Kernel back in 2018.
Installing dmusic and gmdls does fix the fixme messages in CLI alluding to gmdls not being present, but there is no midi playback whatsoever though .wav and .mp3 playback remain unaffected on my end.
I wonder why?

Is it true that Pale Moon no longer accepts old Fire Fox add ons?
Is it true that Basilisk is basically Pale Moon, but with old Fire Fox add on support?

>>12156
Nope, it accepts old firefox addons again since tobin was booted from the project. (There might be some compatibility problems though)

Been thinking about this for a while, how can I host a web application while providing verifiability, to remove the need of trust?
For example, say I decide to host an omegle replacement. I claim no logs is collected and give link to source of hosted code. That doesn't mean I can't be honeypotting users.
Only thing I can think of is some sort of read-only access to the infrastructure of the host for visitors to verify if the host is trust worthy. The downside is potential security exposure, if any part of the system is vulnerable, it will be known and exploited fast.
Any other ideas? Or is this a fool's errand, as the underlying hardware can be compromised anyways and the only way is p2p?

>>12172
>read-only access to the infrastructure
Then put the honeypot into a router in front of your computer. Or if it's a VM, onto the host. Or create a copy of the whole shit, one with honeypot, and one with access. There are countless ways to fuck up your visitors. And even with p2p, you'll have glownodes sooner than later, and depending on how well your decentralized system is designed, feds will start scraping data as much as they can.

>>12173
You are right. Trust maybe the only way to do this.
Besides, even if the admin and operators aren't at fault, it would be very easy to end up like kiwi farms. I have a few services that I wanna host, but see no way of surviving on clearnet while keeping myself and visitors anonymous.

>read-only access to the infrastructure
This is evil bit tier nonsense. You ssh in and do md5sum /bin/bash it can give you any answer it wants. You have no way of verifying any information the server gives you with your "read-only access" so it's worthless.

The problem you are trying to solve is called remote attestation if you want to read more about it. The only solutions work by shifting the burden of trust from the server to a big vendor who uses a hardware backdoor to confirm the server is in the expect state (e.g. Google + TrustZone, Intel + ME, Dell + iDrac). But I'm guessing you don't trust any of these companies anyway.

TrustZone isn't a backdoor, doofus.

>>12180
To be honest, I'd trust a random anon from this site better than any of the companies you listed.

How the FUCK do I make Firefox NOT automatically put the cursor on the URL bar when I open a new tab? I am using this extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtab-ext/ to redirect the new tab page to my home page, and I do NOT want the URL bar to be automatically selected. And no, it's not the extension causing it, because when I disable it the URL bar still gets auto-selected on new tabs. Also, I don't have this problem on new windows.
I've heard this extension "New Tab Override" has an option to not automatically focus on the URL bar, but I cannot trust it.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
Look at this shit:
>This add-on needs to:
>Read and modify browser settings
>Access browsing history
>Access browser tabs
>This add-on may also ask to:
>Access your data for www.soeren-hentzschel.at
That extension probably sends all your browser history to "Soeren Hentzschel" or whatever.
So, what should I do if I want new tabs to not automatically place the cursor on the URL bar on Firefox?

>>12183
Nigger don't use firefox. Chromium isn't as bad or as googled as the current furshit browser.

>>12181
>TrustZone
it is a backdoor. ARM licenses their TrustZone technology to AMD. AMD's Platform Security Processor wouldn't be possible without ARM's TrustZone. ARM processors aren't any more secure than Intel or AMD.

>>12181
>TrustZone isn't a backdoor
It's a technology that can be used to implement backdoors if you want to be autistic about it. It allows the chip vendor to run code at the highest privilege level without you being able to observe what it's doing or stop it. It's like you are in a virtual machine and they control the hypervisor.

>>12188
But you're not forced to use ((( that ))) vendor. Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD (and probably others) doesn't even use TrustZone.
You could prabably even compile a custom Android or even patch it. Not sure how difficult that would be, but it's surely possible. The ARM doesn't care if you use TrustZone or not, it will run regardless.
However on any recent Intel or AMD, you've got no choice at all. Unless you're some badass hax0r who can figure out how to exploit the MINIX3 fork.

>>12190
>Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD (and probably others) doesn't even use TrustZone.
The vendor's bootloader will load the vendor's backdoor code into TrustZone before it hands over control to your open source OS. Once the backdoor is running nothing you do afterwards matters. No you can't write your own bootloader for proprietary hardware with no datasheets.

>>12191
What ARM hardware where the boot loader does that?

>>12192
>What ARM hardware where the boot loader does that?
Every smartphone anything that does DRM. The bootloader has to lockdown TrustZone before loading any untrusted OS / firmware this isn't rocket science my dude.

>>12208
Neither of them show anything really concerning, although your temps seem pretty hot, 50C is often said to be the upper limit before you start getting issues. Vendor implementations for most stats are proprietary so there's only a few you can really interpret, usually that's stuff to do with sector reallocation, for example some people will toss a drive when any of those related values increase. Have you run the available SMART tests? For instance you can do a full scan with smartctl -t long <drive>

>>12208
If you suspect a disk is failing, dmesg may give you more useful info when it happens.
Start copying data regardless.

>>12211
>pretty hot
Hmm, interesting, even the CPU is only around 42C outside of some spikes. Do I need HDD fans now?
>smartctl -t long <drive>
You mean this?
Extended self-test routine
recommended polling time:        (1341) minutes.
>>12212
Nothing in the dmesg. I didn't get any read error or things like that, one drive just started to make some weird noises sometimes when seeking a lot, and since it's a raid, both of them are used at the same time, so I couldn't easily pinpoint which one is the wrong.

>>12213
>Do I need HDD fans now?
Not usually but the temps might be because there isn't sufficient airflow to the drive bay area.
>You mean this?
Yeah, it runs in the background so you just need to check the stats again after the completion time.

That's insane, how big is the drive anon? Hope you don't get a power cut.

>>12214
>how big is the drive anon? Hope you don't get a power cut.

Actually, there's going to be some fuckery with the power tomorrow morning, so I guess I'll wait until it ends before starting this test.

Can wine run nip opengl 4.4 software yet or is linux still shit?

>>12216
You have to try it, it's a hit or miss, especially with nip software because no one can in that fucking country code and everything is held together with duct-tape and things break if your computer is not in the nip timezone or your username contains non full width characters or your ip address consists of less than 14 characters or the combined size of your registry is not between 13.5MB and 28.69MB or whatever. Anyway, try running it with LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8. You might also need japanese fonts, winetricks list-all | grep fakejapanese for some options, but generally it's better if you copy the CJK fonts from a real wangblows install, because these free replacement fonts suck.
Opengl is usually not a problem since all wine has to do is to forward the GL calls simply to your linux's opengl implementation. Vulkan is also ok, directx is where problems start, you should definitely check out dxvk, it usually gives you better results except with very old games.

>>12217
>everything is held together with duct-tape
What's the deal with nip games being so flimsy?

>>12218
Dunno, too much autism, horrible teaching, no-one knows any language other than nip so they never realize what they're doing is considered bullshit by the 99% of the world, they never test their software outside the default nip windows settings setup. Once I saw a part of a nip C++ quiz, and the correct answer for "what is the size of a pointer" wasn't "it depends on the CPU architecture"...

So I manage to setup an auto screensaver shortcut for vidya, but I want to know if it possible to save the name of the active window in the picture title.
This is what I'm using to take the screenshot.
sh -c 'xfce4-screenshooter -w -s "$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/S$(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S").png"'

>>12220
You can try xdotool getactivewindow getwindowname to get the title of the currently selected window, but if it's a fullscreen window, it's possible that it won't have a name (since it's not visible anyway). You can try something like ps -p $(xdotool getactivewindow getwindowpid) -o comm= to get the name of the executable instead.

>>12220
>sh -c 'xfce4-screenshooter -w -s "$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/$(ps -p $(xdotool getactivewindow getwindowpid) -o comm=)_$(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S").png"'Like this?

>>12222
Yeah? Did you try it?

>>12223
It doesn't work, it does make the screenshot, but the space where the name is suppose to be is blank and only prints out the date.

>>12224
Hmm, something failed. Does xdotool getactivewindow getwindowpid spits out something? Is it a valid pid? Also a good idea to redirect stderr to somewhere because normally you can't see errors when running a gui program (do something like exec 2>/tmp/some_file; at the beginning of your shell script, i.e. sh -c 'exec 2>/tmp/some_file; xfce4-screenshooter ...')

>>12225
The error is "sh: line 1: xdotool: command not found"

>>12229
Then install xdotool, duh.

>>12215
Okay, I've ran the test, no errors reported. Also rearranged the HDDs in the case, so now they're no longer next to each other. The toshiba is now 36C, the WD is 48-49C. I also had some weird ATA errors in dmesg, but after I replaced the SATA cable they're gone (at least, for now).

>>12230
Good to know the temps improved, you might want to configure smartd and schedule automatic tests to keep an eye on things.

>>12222
can just use $! idiot

>>12231
I rechecked them now after running for a couple hours with high disk activity, toshiba is 39C, WD is 51C. Isn't the WD still a bit hot? Especially now that there isn't anything hot near it.

>>12232
How is that going to help him? The shell executed by the keybinding will surely be different than whatever started the vidya (if its started from a gui shortcut, you might have no shell at all).

>>12233
>Isn't the WD still a bit hot? Especially now that there isn't anything hot near it.
The only other thing I can think of is the breather hole being covered, or maybe WD just tends to run hotter? If you can reasonably get more airflow over it that probably wouldn't be a bad idea, though drives running at really low temps (like 25 below continuously or something) is also bad for longevity.

>>12234
Dunno, for the toshiba smartctl says
Min/Max recommended Temperature:      5/55 Celsius
while for WD it says
Min/Max recommended Temperature:      0/60 Celsius
Based on this it could be a bit hotter, but not 10+C.
I think the only way to get more airflow is to somehow install an extra fan (this is an old ass case with zero chassis fans, a lousy OEM fan on the CPU, and one in the PSU, so things can be definitely improved)

>though drives running at really low temps (like 25 below continuously or something) is also bad for longevity
I don't think that's a realistic scenario in my case.I had <25C for like 1 minute after turning on the computer, after it has been off for more than an hour.

>>12235
>this is an old ass case with zero chassis fans
Yeah that's probably why you had those initial temps before moving the drives.
>I don't think that's a realistic scenario in my case.
I think it's only a possibility with extreme cooling setups, a typical tower setup is unlikely to reach that kind of thermal efficiency.

>>12230
>Then install xdotool, duh.
Thanks, anonkun, it is working.

Is it true that if I don't use a VPN but only use a secure DNS like dns.mullvad.net, my ISP will only know what websites I'm visiting but not the specific URLs?

Linux Mint Debian Edition has been always a dumpster fire for me. Install the standard Linux Mint Mate version or Xubuntu (or Debian with Xfce4 or Mate DE and upgrade to testing). If you don't want SystemD, I recommend Void Linux glibc version.

>should i just use plain debian over linux mint these days which one would give me more bloat?
Debian definitely has much less bloat than Mint or *Buntu. Also consider disabling suggested and recommended  packages (2 different things) in APT config.

In my experience, Cinnamon is the least stable major Linux DE. Mate and Xfce4 just works(Tm).

None to be honest. It's just a niche hobby thing now. I like some aspects of Plan9's design, though.

>>12246
Your ISP can see IP addresses, DNS requests to their DNS servers and the content of unencrypted connections. The only way they could attempt to identify which pages you visit on an encrypted website is by measuring page sizes, then comparing that with the amount of data you downloaded per request.

>>12246
If you want to see for yourself download a program called wireshark. It captures all the packets coming in and out of your machine. Whatever data you see in wireshark is what you isp can see.

Should I worry?

>>12255
Okay, I don't know what's going on. Turn off the computer, plug the HDD into a different port on the mobo, boot it -> it's even worse. Take out the HDD, connect it to some random usb<->sata converter I have lying around -> works fine. Put it back into the computer -> still ok. Still no error logged in smart. What is even dying now? Cable? But I already replaced it. Sata controller on the mobo? But the other disk works fine. The disk itself?

>>12255
>>12256
>READ FPDMA QUEUED
I had a drive with this problem before, either it's somewhere in the chain (cable, mobo, PSU) or the drive's PCB is going bad. Try running it from the USB converter for a while to see what happens, putting it in another machine could help rule out mobo problems.

>>12257
Been thinking about that, but I guess I'll need to get a new HDD first and copy the things over there before I can start experimenting with this one. As I said, it was running fine for a week, so it's not a "I change something and see the results in a few minutes" kind of thing.

>>12255
mobo sata controller is failing.
These things happen.
You could work around the problem by using an add-in card.
But you'll have to change out hardware because you're not going to fix that with software.

Anytime you start seeing:

It's either a cable or controller failure.

>>12259
I forgot about that one time that it was caused by slight corrosion on the sata connector.
Another thing you can try is to unplug it and plug it back in a bunch of times on both sides.
It probably won't work but it's free and easy.

Why is ZZZchan broken on Pale Moon (and some websites with more complex JavaShit aren't...)? How can I fix it?

>>12278
What's broken? It works fine on my machine(TM).

>websites with more complex JavaShit

Either by getting a browser based on recent chromium/gecko engine, or finding other websites which doesn't require all the latest html5 cancer.

>>12279
>What's broken?
Can't open settings, no post preview on hover, broken captcha.
Still happens even with all add-ons disabled.

>>12282
Did you disable javashit? Erase cache and try again? Anything logged into web console?

>>12284
Whatever, I guess I can use Pale Moon for browsing this site, and Librewolf when posting on a board that requires captcha.

Does anyone know if Google dorks actually work on Searx? The only operators I've got working reliably are site: and - (the NOT operator). I'm not sure other operators work or are even supported; for instance, I tried using & (logical AND) between two keywords but it matched the character literally (i.e. an ampersand highlighted in bold in the site's description) instead of matching only sites that have both keywords; I tried using wildcards too but it's the same situation.

>>12342
I think searx just forwards whatever you type into the search bar to the search provider. The problem is that if you have multiple search providers selected, it's possible that they'll interpret them differently.
Also, I think in jewgle you need to use AND (in uppercase) to get and, not &, but I could be mistaken.

>>12344
>The problem is that if you have multiple search providers selected, it's possible that they'll interpret them differently
Google results also match the ampersand as a literal character.
>I think in jewgle you need to use AND (in uppercase) to get and, not &, but I could be mistaken
I tried AND as well, but it matches the literal word.

>>12345 checked
What about "A" "B"?

Is there any browser other than Chromium/Firefucks shit or Palemoon that has an add-on or feature like uMatrix that lets you block site elements and unblock them at your will?

>>12378
I haven't seen any webkit-based browsers with webextensions support. I would love to have uBlock Origin working on Luakit, but nothing so far.

>>12358
Quotes have always worked for me (though they display far fewer results than plain keywords), even if I'm quoting a single keyword.

I want to save an image but I can't download it normally. The download link breaks without tons of headers and JS bloat (meaning downthemall and the like won't work), and there's 50 layers of further JS bloat to prevent selecting the image and downloading it normally which would fix the header problem. I'm able to turn the hex into a file once it goes to cache but getting the right image on cache can be extremely finicky. Taking a screenshot is also an option but it's not ideal for jpegs. 
Is there a way to tell your browser to take an already loaded image and save it to disk without redownloading the image from the source?

>>12397
Maybe developer console -> network tab -> image -> preview -> right click -> save. Or just right click on the request, copy as curl, and you'll end up with a long ass curl command line with all the cookies and headers you need. Or copy image as data uri and manually decode the base64. Or copy all as har, and you'll end up with a big ass JSON with every request, you just have to base64 decode the response. Or go to the inspector, find the image, and you'll be usually be able to get the image out of it somehow in the right-click menu. The available options and exact menu locations differ slightly between browsers.

>>12398
>console -> network tab -> image -> preview -> right click -> save
>go to the inspector, find the image, and you'll be usually be able to get the image out of it somehow in the right-click menu
That doesn't work, it just tries to redownload the image url, which doesn't work if the url isn't publicly accessible. 
>Or copy image as data uri and manually decode the base64.
But that works. It's surprising how that's somehow the least clunky way to get files that already are in your browser out of the browser.

If I have a video that wasn't downloaded sequentially (e.g. torrents) and has some empty spots in the file but is still able to be decoded into video and have some parts of it play. Is there a way to tell ffmpeg to automatically discard the trash data and take all processable video segments and concatenate them into a single file or save them into multiple files? 
The  -err_detect ignore_err flag just spits out the video as is without removing the invalid/missing frames.

>>12420
Try playing the file (in mpv or similar) and write down the timestamps where each "chunk" starts and ends, then using ffmpeg trim the video at the timestamps you wrote without re-encoding (-c:v copy)... That might be what you need.

>>12421
I know that's an option, I was looking for something more automated though.

>>12420
Wouldn't simply running it through ffmpeg with only -c copy accomplish what you want?

>>12424
No, -c copy copies everything including invalid frames and blank intervals.

>>12397
Speaking of saving images and JS bloat, there are some image hosts (e.g. pomf) that have a weird "adblockkey" value in the HTML header and all of them require JS. I tried >>12398 's method but the site makes no image requests, only HTML ones, and the HTML file has no body. What'd you do in that case?

>>12427
>pomf
Isn't pomf dead?

>>12428
Some instances are alive, like https://pomf.io
Regardless I'm not able to download anything from there without enabling JS.

>>12420
You can have ffmpeg copy every frame to pictures, skipping corrupted, then encode the pictures together.
Can you upload a sample video for testing?

>>12432
The files I have are too big, but here's an example I got from nyaa. It's a broken video file like this, minus the subs. 
It has enough data to be readable but lots of broken frames between segments. I want an automated way to just extract the parts mpv can read.

That doesn't work unless spoken aloud. At least use special characters or something like a dictionary would. What do they call it?

I might've asked a similar question here before, but are there any good tablet laptops for artfaggotry (which preferably have open source support), or should I just search for a cheap standalone graphics tablet?
I tried using a Thinkpad x220t, and while it can get the job done for image editing, the stylus accuracy isn't that good.

>>12470
Can this work with like stable diffusion to generate pictures as well?

>>12473
No, you need different models for image generation...

>>12474
Got it. I was hoping there would be like an all in one sort of model. I found a few online but they all cost money to get the full functionality. I was hoping to find something like that, but not spend money cause I’m broke.

>>12480
What do you mean by all in one model? Do you mean text to image and text? When does the model know it should make an image?

Prompt to generative AI, output page by page prompt for stable diffusion plus dialogue. Problem is stuffing dialogue to bubbles.

Pay pajeets peanuts to do it (just like you pay them to solve captchas)

>>12481
Well, you could use a text to text and a text to image model, feed the same prompt to both, and hope they spit out something that's not completely unrelated. But if you want to run them on your own HW, you'll probably only be able to run them sequentially, not parallel, due to their insane memory requirements.

I want to invest in an MP3 player.  May I have some recommendations?
Mandatory:
>20+ battery life
>SD card storage
Non-mandatory (But would appreciate):
>Extended functionality (playlists, favorites, etc.)
>Charging (It can be battery powered too I guess, and that is technically better for an outage or when I'm outside in the woods)
>Rootable. (In case I want to change the firmware)

If you don't mind me asking, why do you not like QT? Too modern and minimalist? Can't you alter the CSS a bit in those applications.
I heard of stardict but I never used it.

>>12485
>why do you not like QT?
I think his problem is the HTML/webshit part, not the QT, and given that most dictionaries are made in HTML these days, it will be hard to get rid of. Stardict is also HTML. (I have some very rudimentary script that removes HTML from sdcv output for use inside emacs, but it's far from ideal)

>>12486
Okay, I was thinking he meant that the simplistic UI of Qt looks like webshit but I didn't know that dictionaries are made in HTML.
I'm not very technically inclined but why is that a bad thing? Is it aesthetics?

>>12487
Qt WebEngine is an entire Chromium based browser running inside an already incredibly bloated framework.

And of course once again this very thread proving my point that most that opensource projects tends to attracts the worst of the worst like this particular chinesium furfag who happened to insert himself at the perfect opportunity like a real whiny artist would in an albeit covert manner.

To think that tyson tan was behind all this (now deleted) loli artwork genuinely baffles me on why the CCP hasnt bothered taking this particular guy out for further questioning.

I guess those people are the ones who wrote the UNIX Hater's Handbook, so you should probably read that to understand their POV.
I didn't read the book, because I hate everything except for 8-bit computers. So I don't care about their mainframes or Lisp machines or whatnot.

I want to build a cloud at home. Basically a way for different devices to sync stuff, but only in the local network. The cloud needs to have redundancy to store files like family photos. What software and hardware do I need?

I was thinking a NAS with two hard drive slots and running some cloud software should do the trick. TrueNAS as the OS, NextCloud as the cloud software. As for the hardware, I need something in a small form factor, like those Synology NAS devices there were being shilled a while ago, but without the proprietary OS. I know a NAS is just a computer with a special OS, but I don't really want have a bulky PC tower taking up space when a small bock inside a closet is what I really need.

Does any of this even make sense or am I off in my assumptions?

>>12518
I just use syncthing to sync the important stuff between my computers, there you have automatic redundancy. NextCloud's sync was utter crap when I checked it, but it was 5+ years ago, not sure if things improved since then, but with syncthing you don't need a central always-on computer.
I also have a NAS-like box with btrfs raid-1, plus I regularly backup important stuff to an external HDD. Don't know anything about small form PCs, I just have a regular PC (with a 4-port ethernet card, so it also works as a router) in the corner...

>>12518
Do you want a central place to store stuff or different devices to sync stuff?

>>12521
A central place to store stuff.

>>12520
The issue with syncing through syncthing is that it keeps devices in sync, but the entire process is limited to the weakest link of the mesh. What I mean is, supposed I want a place to store all my photos. If there are more photos in total than there is space on a device (e.g. phone), then syncing won't do my any good.

>>12523
You can make multiple folders and only share certain folders with certain devices. Also there are sync filters. For my phone I have a folder and I only sync that one folder to my phone, plus some sync filter so I don't download all photos to my notebook.
But of course, any kind of syncing solution will have problems if you want to sync more shit than the free disk space you have. Alternatively if you only want to store shit at one place, just set up a network drive (and a wireguard VPN if you need to access it from outside your LAN).

>>12523
That is different from syncing stuff. Anything can do, ftp, samba, nfs, sshfs.

Anons I have a strange problem with RetroArch on GNU/Linux.

One fine day in early December I git pulled and recompiled as usual, but accidentally forgot to test the binary before make installing.
The binary I installed ran, but upon launching any core with any shader the shader compilation would fail with a bunch of [/code] [ERROR] [slang]: Invalid #pragma parameter line: "#pragma parameter crt_gamma "Simulated CRT Gamma" 2.5 1.0 5.0 0.025".[/code] in the verbose CLI output.
After trying a bunch of random shaders and cores I figured some Tranny had dilated itself again and reverted the git repo to some mid-November commit which was around the time I'd last compiled RA which at that point had no problem compiling and displaying slang shaders, but perplexingly enough the "new" builds still had the same issue.
I then tried GNOME's wayland desktop and got the same result, but on KDE and GNOME's X11 session the shaders compiled and displayed just fine.
Now I normally would just the X11 session to emulate my Vidya, but unfortunately RetroArch's VSync on KDE X11 is unusable on Cores that utilize CD-ROM images, it crackles and syncs like ass and it the case of PSX cores also tanks performance for no reason while on Wayland those cores with shaders VSynced perfectly.
It works on GNOME X11 but GNOME is hideous.
Glancing over the slang and GLSL specs a bit the #pragma parameter lines in the shader files seem to be within spec, I considered some problem with a dependency but my last update of spirv-tools, spirv-cross and libglslang (which I suspect to be culprits but don't know) then was sometime in October back when RA ran just fine.

I don't have the shekels to buy a real CRT and don't have enough computer to run Flycast at 1080p with 32-layer OIT for proper grafics, what do?
Have since updated KWin, amdgpu, spirv and my Kernel but the issue still persists, though 1 in 10 boots it decides to just werk and compile shaders with no issue.
Happens on both the glcore and vulkan driver backends, plain GLSL shaders under gl are also broken with some FBO issue but I haven't used that backend since the glcore merger.

How much AIDS (read: telemetry) are in:
>Windows 7
>Tiny10
>Windows 10 AME
>Ubuntu
compared to each other?

>>12529
>Windows 7
Full blown telemetry was added in later updates, prior to that I think it was mostly limited to activation checks.
>Tiny10
Proprietary mod that could have anything hidden inside, still has features like Defender which have telemetry.
>Windows 10 AME
Open source mod so you can see the changes being made, tries to remove as much as possible but since it's still Windows 10 there may be lingering spyware.
>Ubuntu
Has had a couple controversies in the past relating to data collection, since it's FOSS you can disable or remove things you don't want and be 100% sure that they're gone.

I need a Windows VM for Windows programming, all I need is to be able to run MSYS2 and MSVC. Which has lower hardware reqs, ReviOS or Ameliorated?

ReviOS has a page with the memory usage: https://revi.cc/docs/faq/before/requirements/
AME doesn't seem to.

Also, how do I get the MSVC compiler, linker, and headers with the least crap attached to them? I test programs against them from MSYS2, so I don't care about VSCode.

>>12531
Use what they put in Windows containers. It will be the smallest possible Windows distro. Or just cross compile.
>Get MSVC
https://github.com/microsoft/vs-dockerfiles/blob/main/native-desktop/Dockerfile
>>12529
Windows is rotten to the core, doesn't help nearly all program you will use on Windows are closed-source.
Ubuntu is miles better than that, but it is infested with systemdick and freedesktop crap.

>>12526
It is hard to debug this specific problem as I don't use RetroArch myself. Perhaps you upgraded other related programs when you recompiled RetroArch?
If you can get more logs, I may be able to suggest things.

>>12537
>Perhaps you upgraded other related programs when you recompiled RetroArch?
The only thing that got updated was RA's git repo, I didn't update my system at all from October to a few days ago.

There's a few more lines after that feat. the same #pragma parameter error and a session satistics summary RA prints everytime it exits, but it exceeds the per-post character limit.

>>12540
I looked into the source. Can you recompile with debug symbols and run with gdb, break at
//gfx/drivers_shader/glslang_util_cxx.cpp
127             int ret = sscanf(
128                   line, "#pragma parameter %63s \"%63[^\"]\" %f %f %f %f",
129                   id, desc, &initial, &minimum, &maximum, &step);
?
Run the line and check ret, it will tell you why it thinks the number of parameters are incorrect.
This problem has nothing to do with other dependencies, so upgrading or downgrading your system shouldn't change things.

>>12571
ret returns the current function immediately. That's why you don't see errors. This probably broke subsequent shader compilation.
You should set the breakpoint, list the code when it's triggered. Then, "next" and "print ret". If ret is 5 or 6, then "cont". Otherwise report the number and see what's wrong.

>>12526
I unfortunately don't have an answer for you but I'm going to need some sauce on this game.

Is it true that C can brick your hardware? I think I heard that from a tutorial I was watching and it made me use Go instead.

>>12587

>>12587
The short answer is no. Programs in general, regardless of the language they were written in, operate within the limits imposed on them by the OS. Truly dangerous actions are not permitted so you can't brick your hardware...
You can brick your software though, for example if you write a program that wipes hard drives, but even that has to go through the OS first (sudo / run as admin).

>>12587
Well, there were some uefi crap motherboards that could be bricked by writing crap to efivarfs on linux... But you could do that from a shell script too, you didn't need C for that.
>made me use Go instead
You're a fucking stupid nigger gorilla. Enjoy your jewgle telemetry.

>>12587
Any language can brick your hardware. All you need is hardware with some flaw that can cause it to break and the API to access it. 

SoCs these days all have something called GPIO pins which can be made to send any signal at any voltage (within some limits) by software so companies can connect any hardware they want using them. It's not uncommon for companies to wire up hardware to the GPIO pins that breaks if you set the pins to maximum voltage. Software can very much break hardware in the present day.

The guy who ported OpenBSD to Octeon says he fried several RAM kits while writing a driver to set the voltage because on those machines it's done by the OS and not the firmware, and the hardware in charge of this uses a unique voltage unit he had to figure out.

>>12587
>a guy who has enough free time to create youtube tutorials has no idea what he's talking about
Color me surprised.

>>12589
There was a time when systemd managed to brick hardware from userspace
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2402

>>12602
Systemd doesn't run in userspace thought.

>>12607
Fortunately it's not a kernel module (yet), so it runs in userspace. All you need to do is mount -t efivarfs none /somewhere as root to reproduce what systemd did (or still does, I didn't check).

>>12608
Systemd(init) is in the userspace but optionally you can use the systemd-boot to start it as the bootloader.
I can't test it as i don't use systemd.

>>12609
But that's a bootloader, that should be gone from the memory as soon as linux boots.

Just wanna play some PS2, but nope: pcsx2: error while loading shared libraries: libfmt.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
my fucking meme OS is ruining my day again. (slackware) 
Does this mean the library is not the right version or that for some reason some path is not properly set or whatever?
Pls help, anon

>>12625
Use which pcsx2 to find the path to the pcxs2 binary.
Use ldd /path/to/pcsx2 to find all the libraries it needs and where it expects to find them.
Wherever it thinks libfmt.so.9 is is probably not there.
You can do find /usr -name libfmt.so.9 to find where it really is and then copy it to the path pxsc2 expects. That would be the most ghetto way to fix it.

If it already does exist in the path that ldd says pcsx2 is looking for it then it is a more complicated problem like you suggest but try that first.

If you get tired of debugging it then you can cheat by installing pcsx2 via flatpak

>>12610
>But that's a bootloader, that should be gone from the memory as soon as linux boots.
A malicious/incompetent bootloader can do more damage to hardware than anything running in userspace (which is the point of this subthread >>12587).

>>12626
Thanks for the great response. This board never disappoints. 
Now regarding the issue:         libfmt.so.9 => not found 
is all I'm getting. It doesn't really say where it expects the library. Most of the libraries are in /usr/lib64, some are in /lib64 I created a symlink from the libfmt.so file that exists in /usr/lib64 to /lib64, then tried copying it, but still no success :(

>>12628
it still says
>ldd /path/to/pcsx2
after copying the library

I changed to slackware in the first place because Artix wasn't hipster enough. Now am moving my machines back since I don't have time for that shit. Artix just works

>Use ldd /path/to/pcsx2 to find all the libraries it needs and where it expects to find them.
ldd shows where it will load the library from, not where it expects to find the libraries.
>>12628
>>12636
Is this because you have libfmt.so.10 installed? You might need to figure out how to install an older version. If you can find the correct version of the library then you can export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/library/dir then run ldd to confirm that the correct library will be loaded, then run the program.

>>12637
Yep. Successfully compiled an older version of fmt.
Couldn't figure out how to download older slackbuilds from that site https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/commit/libraries/fmt?h=15.0&id=ef9767b019e7c084ba8eec4c645ec1cbacaa817e&context=3&ignorews=0&dt=1 (I thought there had to be some archive or something?) so I had to manually edit the correct version number in the fmt.SlackBuild script and download the appropriate sources.  
I just remembered that I did the same thing a while ago. 
The maintainer hasn't upgraded the PCSX SlackBuild for over a year. And I'm too dumb/lazy to fix it. I remember already trying half a dozen versions of pcsx2 that would compile with those outdated libraries. What am I doing with my life.
Fuck I'll never use anything but rolling release again, tough I gotta say it's kinda worth the ride when some stupid shit finally works after hours of torture, not being able to do basic shit.

>>12638
I deleted my /tmp folder so I lost all my builds. Would have saved me some trouble if I could have just installed that compiled fmt, but whatever

>>12638
flatpak is the best way of getting the latest version without waiting for maintainers or building it yourself.

>>12640
flatpak doesn't integrate well into the rest of the system and in this case doesn't work at all

>>12642
>flatpak doesn't integrate well into the rest of the system
What do you need it to "integrate" into?

>in this case doesn't work at all

In Chrome, at least, you can get around the HSTS error by typing this with the focus on the error page:

thisisunsafe

No spaces, no quotes.  It will load the page as HTTP only, with the angry red text in the address bar.  This seems to have been created as a workaround for the devs to use in testing and left in.

It works in some Chrome-derived browsers like Chromium but I haven't tested it in Edge, or any of the others.  I'm not sure how you get around the HSTS error in Firefox.

Half the time, of course, when I do this, I can see the page.  The other half of the time it gives a different message, "this instance has been rate limited, try again later."  It always eventually works but sometimes it takes a few hours or even a day or two to reset.  Sometimes I get to see the spicy post,   By the time I can get through, sometimes it says "this tweet not found."  It's annoying, but not annoying enough for me to be willing to make a Twatter account and dox myself to the crazies who work there.

I'm unaquainted with web security/hosting but how much can it be accounted for from the user's filesystem? If I have a site that I only intend for me to post stuff on, and I mount the partition containing the data for the site as read-only: is it secure (unless my entire computer is somehow compromised)? If not, then why? What about a filesystem which itself is inherently read-only; such as squashfs.

Are there any privileges I am missing? Or is the solution more complex?

I'm scared as fuck and I don't know what to do. I can't tell which other system config change could have led to this, but it directly correlated with me running this cracked installer.
I didn't have any logging enabled and also didn't enable snapshotting for the home partition, so can't roll back to before that happened.
