It should work fine with Wine, assuming RPG Maker XP is running in the same Wine prefix and no sandboxing shenanigans.
Alternatively if you're using X you may try xdotool. Here's an example on how to resize:
xdotool windowsize $(xdotool search --name "My window name") 1000 300
You can replace My window name with the name of your target window, 1000 with your desired width, and 300 with your desired height.

And if you're interested, all that extendtext.exe does is enumerate and loop through all the system's windows, filtering them by class #32770 and any of these names:
>"Script"
>"Show Text"
>"Comment"
>"Batch Text Entry"
then setting their size with SetWindowPos with a different width depending on the window name.

You really just need 2 SATA channels to run RAID-1 on, and USB for backup maybe. The RockPro64 handles all that no problem.
If you're running some kind of big operation, then you want to spread out the load across multiple systems anyway, to avoid a single point of failure (and preferably different physical locations).

I agree with the sentiment that you can use any computer to do anything, but that sounds like overkill. What are you using all that RAM and storage for? Don't get me wrong, I'm a massive hoarder myself, but I keep most of it in disconnected HDDs, on a shelf in another room. I use a RPi as a homeserver, and even though I didn't have to buy one as I already had an old desktop like that lying around, it's still nice to have a tiny computer that I can just keep inside a drawer and forget it's even there. Doesn't even need coolers too, so also no fan noise 24/7.

That shows that you either don't really care about the data OR are a masochist:
1. You have primitive if any backups/redundancy; you rarely use the drives.
2. You bother with manually doing backups; you're constantly running to the other room to get the drives.

Wrote jellyfin twice for some reason. But I actually meant syncthing which can draw a lot of ram. Especially since I use it to mirror the whole 14tb to an off site backup drive with a small SBC I have at my parents house.
I tried using both a raspberry pi and an a bit more powerful intel atom board before, but ransferring files over gigabit lan, the cpus proved to be a massive bottleneck, getting only 40mb/s out of the possible 140mb/s. If it's scanning syncthing at the same tine, it's over.
I might also set up nextcloud on it in the future, but right now syncthing and simple network filesystem suffices.

Could it be encrypted? The guide in >>14637 mentions it's possible, though in your case the encrypted partition would be the second one.
To make sure it is you can try viewing the filesystem image in a hex editor, then looking at its header to see if it's encrypted or not.
If it's not, then according to https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn/tn1150.html#VolumeHeader there should be at offset 1024 (decimal) first two bytes should contain the signature 'H+' for an HFS+ volume or 'HX' for an HFSX volume.
It also mentions that there should be a copy of its header before the last 512 bytes at end of the volume.

From that page:
>Every HFS Plus volume must have a volume header. The volume header contains sundry information about the volume, such as the date and time of the volume's creation and the number of files on the volume, as well as the location of the other key structures on the volume. The volume header is always located at 1024 bytes from the start of the volume.
>A copy of the volume header, known as the alternate volume header, is stored starting at 1024 bytes before the end of the volume. The first 1024 bytes of volume (before the volume header), and the last 512 bytes of the volume (after the alternate volume header) are reserved.
struct HFSPlusVolumeHeader {
    UInt16              signature;
    UInt16              version;
    // other fields omitted
};

The only differences between HDD brands are:
* ((( Seagate ))) is the least trustworthy brand. Avoid. Of course you can mitigate the risks with ZFS/RAID and frequent backups. But imo it's just better to buy Toshiba or Western Digital.
* Toshiba is cheap and good.
* Western Digital is good
* HGST was the best manufacturer until they got bought by Western Digital. Nowadays you can't find new HGST drives anymore.
* Don't even consider other HDD brands.

>and also about SATA to USB adapters?
They are good enough if you use the drive like external HDD but you should buy internal SATA3 expansion card.

I'm trying to figure out how I should set up my server.
My usage is using it for backup and archival purposes. I plan on putting all my media that I have on it (images, manga, pdfs/epubs and roms) and I was wondering how I should go about with things. The system this server would be running on is a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 gigs of RAM and attached is a 5TB storage device.

rsync is probably all you need to install on there, and every distro has a package for it.
https://rsync.samba.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync
If your desktop runs Windows, you can install Cygwin to allow running rsync, ssh, and shell scripts.
There are also various front-ends or backup products that use rsync under the hood. I've never used them, because rsync is simple enough if you can write basic shell scripts.
Some things to watch out for though:
Trailing / in paths is significant.
Don't use the --delete options, you probably don't want this.
Always use the -n (--dry-run) option first, to test your script.
You can run rsync on the server as a daemon, but you can also have it transfer the data over ssh instead. But in this case you'll probably want to copy your SSH public key to the server, to avoid needing to type in your password every time.

I personally use syncthing + btrfs snapshots for everything. Rsync also works very well and certainly is the more "minimalist" solution, but your computers always need to always be connected via ssh which becomes problematic if you want to have your stuff synced when you're leaving your house >implying 
For automatic snapshots I use the shell script btrbk. Runs periodically using cronjobs.

Yes, youre right, if he just wants to archive stuff that's the better option.
But imo the best solution would be btrfs send | receive, which does the same thing, but it can send multiple snapshots to another drive.
Snapshots are basically copies of whole filesystems that don't take up additional space, as long as the files aren't changed.
It's similar to hardlinks.
I use btrbk to do snapshots and then send them to another drive automatically.

I usually always suspend my computers. I usually update my kernel every 4 months or so and that's the only time I shutdown.
My server I leave running 24/7 with disabled spindown to preserve drive longevity.
I really depends on your use case. If you want to make backups every week or so, it would make sense to only start it up if you make a backup.
If you need to access the files every other day or so, it would make sense to disable spindown and always leave the server running since spinning down/up drives is quite straining on their longevity.

Nice, glad you recovered those files.
Looking back at >>14759:
Since fdisk recognized the type of the big partition (for you) along with its offset, and the recovery program you used found files with their names thus suggesting that metadata may be intact, then perhaps all that was left was figuring the right program and arguments to mount the partition.
Regardless, what matters is that you got the old man's stuff back.

But it's sold as "micro-atx" by various vendors. How come?
the other board is sold as "itx" and it has the exact same form factor except the one missing x1 pci-e slot.

(Same anon as a few posts above)
Moving files to the offline Windows PC using a USB stick is inconvenient and I thought of making a shared folder that I can access from my Linux PC. Usually you would do that on a LAN with a switch or a router (I would have to make it so the Windows PC can only access the LAN and not the internet, though), but I don't have a switch yet and I don't have an ethernet cable from the router going to my room either (I use a USB Wi-Fi dongle), so my only option is directly connecting the two PCs with an ethernet cable. When I try to share a folder on the Windows PC, though, it gives a vague error just saying that it's unable to share the folder (and yes, I enabled all the related settings in the control panel, etc). I suspect that this is because the direct connection is not working. Does anyone know what I should configure to make a direct ethernet connection between two PCs (Windows and Linux) work, and any way of testing it?

JavaScript doesn't always have to be deadly, even in terms of privacy, especially if you already use other protections. If you use uMatrix you can just have JS disabled by default and if a website is broken you try enabling specific scripts without enabling Googleflare tracking scripts etc. Treating all JS as something on the tier of a digital ID brain chip and discarding useful and anti-globohomo websites just because they require some form of JS is just fruitless dogmatic behavior (ie. taking a meme too far).

They usually have some API over HTTPS, because so called "apps" are usually little more than a webbrowser with the url bar hidden and hardcoded to open the social media's website. So you end up with shit like, having HTTP, then inside it running websocket, then inside some custom protocol, because that's the only thing you can do from a browser, and even if a phone app could do more, nobody bothers to develop a second protocol for them when they already have a "working" one (and if both written in javashit, they can just reuse the code).
Also no direct DB access, that would be a catastrophe. There was some freeware game where players could make and submit levels to some server. Turns out that server was a simple MySQL server, and the password for it was in the game and it directly executed the SQL queries against the servers. Needless to say, it only lasted until someone figured out it works like this and fucked up the DB.

Protip: on *BSD, the man pages tell you what hardware devices are supported, and to what level. FreeBSD also has a big FAQ that might have useful info in there too.
So you'll have to check out exactly what chipsets are on the mobo and search in those documentations on their website.
In general, older hardware will have better support. Until you get to really ancient stuff (they start removing those eventually).
If you can get the seller to show you a "dmesg" or whatever the equivalent is for Windows (device manager or whatever it's called), that would probably help you greatly.

Anon here. I found a larger former gayming computer on the same dumpster. Stood a week in the rain and someone threw a 20kg printer on it, but the lil nigger still works. Just had to swap GPU and Ram. GPU on pic just for testing. Will get a 1060 or something.
If you just want an unobstrusive small file server or something, I'd still recommend that smol Dell or similar office machine, but upgrades are gonna be harder since they have a low profile slot, will be harder to find GPUs in that format.
For example if you wanna run Jellyfin for your family, Haswell doesn't have HVEC transcoding. 
The CPU will quickly hit the wall and you'll see buffering. 
If you are looking to have hardware transcoding you should go for at least 7th gen intel which has a capable iGPU or get a Tower where you can just pop a modern GPU inside. Nvidia is recommended for transcoding.

I don't know about FreeBSD specifically but from my linux experience it's laptops you need to be careful of because they have weird components that are selected because they have low power consumption or have the right shape to fit inside the case but they only made 100 of them so nobody bothered writing *nix drivers for it and everything is soldered to the motherboard so you can't even replace the problematic component.

4 hours is pretty good. If you actually need more than that open it up and see if there is space/connections for an internal battery. I don't know about x230 but I have x250 and x260s with two batteries and they last all day.

Try passing -map 0:a:1: it should select the audio track at index 1 (starting from 0, therefore the second audio track) from the input file at index 0 (the first one, in this case video.mkv).
You may also have to pass the video track with -map 0:v.
The final command may look like this: ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0:v -map 0:a:1 -vf "subtitles='video.mkv':si=0" out.mp4

is proxmox somehow supplanting docker? seemingly appears in every jewtube video I come across nowadays.

Yes, you are missing the point. Proxmox deals with vm, docker is containers. Use a srarch engine if you don't get it. Also stop watching jewtube click bait nigger videos. Proxmox is used for clustering computers to make vm managemrnt easy. Imagine you are renting vps out to people, you don't want to have to manually launch vm on every single machine. And if you want to replace or add more machines, it's way easier. Docker (not swarm) isn't even about the same thing.

Honestly I've been running gentoo for around a year now and never had any major issues except for one or the other slot conflict that was easily resolved by just adding some number to the dependency in the corresponding portage config file.
I update my system maybe once a month and it just compiles everything through the night. the next day my dem is cozy warm and I have an updated system.
I created some alias for upgrading emerge with a ridicolous bdeps 1000 or something. So portage somehow figures all the depency problems out all by itself. No clue how exactly it does that.

I dunno. Found it on the dumpster. there was a harddrive installed, but it was awkwardly shoved int with those slot screws. I thought there might be a more elegant way and that it's missing some common rack mount or something. But I guess every case manufacturer does its own thing.

you didn't provide any specifics such as the distribution you're using. 
Look up Full Disk encryption. It's the most secure and easy way to encrypt systems, I think, as it prevents glowniggers from injecting shit into your kernel if they ever get ahold of your computer. ONLY SUPPORTS LUKS 1 though. IT WON'T BOOT WITH LUKS 2 - that caused me major headaches in the past. 
You need to point grub to the encrypted drive, so it can auto encrypt it.  There are several guides online. There's also quirks for every initramfs system to auto encrypt after grub has already encrypted the drive so you don't have to type in your password twice.

They usually enable ~amd64 in their make.conf, instead of enabling it just for the packages that need it. Sometimes using -O3 optimization will break some programs or it can produce slower binaries than -O2 or -Os (you need to benchmark if you want to be sure).

if you use uefi you still need a uefi partition - which glowniggers still could infiltrate - but not as easy as modifying the kernel I guess. 
If you don't use uefi you need a 3mb bios boot partition for grub.

>What technical advantages do consts provide over normal variables?
For the human it makes the code easier to reason about because you don't have to keep track of all the places a variable might be changed because it can't be changed. For the compiler it can do more aggressive optimizations when you promise the variable won't change.

NVME m.2 drives are naked pcbs, and are not really hotswapable. Exposing the port makes it easy for user to fuck up their hardware and data. Sata is hog swappable, but you also need to expose sata power input, which takes lot of space.

Sometimes the firmware update is self booting. You just dd it to a USB and boot and it does the update. If it is a windows executable then you might be able to get away with running it from Hiren's or Gandalf's.

>>15037
>why are internal drives stil not usable externally and vice versa?
It's the way the SATA/PCIe protocol works it needs to be initialized by the BIOS when the computer starts up you can't just plug an extra one in later. What USB harddrives do is they have their own little CPU that acts as a bridge between SATA and USB.

Thanks for that, anon. I now have another question for you guys.
To follow-up, steam cannot see my wheel for some reason, but it managed to find a thrustmaster shifter somehow.

here are my specs:

Distro - Void Linux
Wheel - thrustmaster TR300S GT 
Driver - hid-tmff2

Games that directly-support the wheel work great. but I have a few dumb janky unity car games that don't work well with anything but steam input, so I'd like to know if there's a program or something that can turn the input of the wheel into a virtual controller of some kind.

I found this: https://libreddit.bus-hit.me/r/linux_gaming/comments/17vipol/steam_virtual_controller/?rdt=65100
The problem is, this is beyond my level of expertise.

Do you guys know of any programs, command-line or otherwise that allows the creation of controller to controller input?

There aren't one. You have 2 options:
1) embrace the botnet and temporarily dual-boot Windoze. I recommend latest Windows Server/LTSC. But AtlasOS is another choice, if you trust the project (note that it doesn't have Windows Update),.
2) Windows 7, but apparently they backported the botnet code?

thanks for the link anyway, but trying it out, it doesn't seem to work. In fact, further-looking onwards and testing, it seems this program's features are more-centric to getting controllers to work in esoteric sims, not getting esoteric sim gear to look like a console controller

I think only if you use pukeaudio/pipewire.
Otherwise you have to set up snd_aloop, and config alsa to use that as a default output. But then you won't hear anything, so you also need a second device that will duplicate the sound output. I have the asoundrc for it somewhere, I'll find it if you need it, but it's anything but a oneliner.

        pcm "hw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=1,SUBDEV=0"

        period_size 1024
        buffer_size 4096

}

pcm.dup2 {
  type route
  slave.pcm {
    type multi
    slaves.a { pcm "dmix_loop"; channels 2; }
    slaves.b { pcm "dmix_whatever"; channels 2; }
    bindings.0 { slave a; channel 0; }

}

pcm.dup {
  type plug
  slave.pcm dup2

Change dmix_whatever to your normal sound card (but it must be a dmix). Then point your app at dup, and you can record from loopback and still listen to the output.

You have loopback, whatever is played into, for example hw:2,0,0 can be recorded from hw:2,1,0, or using that more generic notation, hw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=0,SUBDEV=0 and hw:CARD=Loopback,DEV=1,SUBDEV=0 is a pair

About my snippet, you want your browser to play from it, you need to replace pcm.dup with pcm.!default (and remove your current default) and dmix_whatever with dmixed (then restart your browser). But if you want that asym stuff to work to record sound, you'll likely have to move it up a few layers.

After further testing and autism this problem seems to transcend the boundaries of regular computing, for it occurs regardless of build system, Kernel or compiler version used.

RPCS3 crashes both GCC and Clang when trying to build the glslang source, Dolphin fucks up at zlib-ng on GCC and freesurround with Clang, pcsx2 used to die but now compiles with Clang-19 except its gay nigger dependencies including SDL2 don't so the build can't finish.
Even tried it using older GCC/Clang versions I'm fairly certain had no issue building these applications a few months back but they segfault as well, as does a fresh build of GCC 15 from the latest source.
Anything that uses autoconf doesn't encounter any compiler segfaults and the Yabause emulator which uses CMake also builds as expected.

How do I stop my Linux system (Arch if that matters) from completely freezing and requiring a hard reboot from presumably running out of RAM? This has been going for years and I've learned to just be very careful with RAM, but recently my computer has sometimes been freezing when I leave it alone for a few hours, even if I suspend it to RAM. My guess is that a program is leaking RAM without it being my fault, probably Pidgin.
So, what should I do? I don't remember shit like this happening on Windows. "Just don't use Pidgin, bro! Just have less browser tabs, dude! Just buuuuuuy more RAM, duderino!!" are not real solutions, are they...? And by the way, I do have SWAP.

What do I do when my Tor connection isn't working even after I restart the service multiple times, and it gives an error in the logs like "[WARN] Possible compression bomb; abandoning stream." and "[WARN] Detected possible compression bomb with input size = (redacted) and output size = (redacted)"?
This happened one time a month ago and it's now happening again. Somehow the Tor Browser (which I guess makes an ad-hoc circuit) works, though. And last time I was about to write a post about it here, but (what a ((( coinkydink )))) Tor started working again as soon as I started doing that, and I quit.

I only rely on invidious instances for browsing, and either download videos I want to watch later with yt-dlp, or stream them via mpv. Granted, yesterday yt-dlp didn't work, but all it took was a quick update, because I was 3 days behind the latest one. I also use invidious instances to subscribe to the RSS feeds of channels I follow, which means that even if an instance if shut down, I just have to replace the links in the config file of my news reader.

I'm assuming the issue is the power supply but I don't want to buy a new one only for the problem to persist so if you have any offers or need more inquiry do ask, I tried thinking of everything in the first part of this post. I also kept an eye on task manager seeking videos in mpv but I didn't see any increase in my hardware usage.

Lmao.
It sounds more like a cpu/ram/motherboard issue. I assume you don't have a dedicated gpu. If so, it maybe the problem. You mentioned that the computer crashes when your are seeking video, that means gpu maybe the problem.
Try isolating the problem by running Linux live, then seek all you want on mpv (with hwaccel) and watch dmesg as it happens. If it crashes, you may see useful messages that indicates which part is failing.
Alternatively, isolate the problem by hardware means. Borrow a working computer with same chipset and ram. Replaces parts with yours until problem occures.

I installed Linux on another drive and after seeking violently on mpv with hardware acceleration it didn't crash, I watched the task manager and htop and saw no abnormal activity, mpv flashed yellow and the PID was in the 5 digits. Now I'm thinking it has something to do with that install of Windows being bugged (has Windows ever installed correctly for anyone?) which is means something must've happened post-install (this install of Windows was done in September) as I think I would've seeked videos before then and had the computer crash. I'm just relieved that it seems to be an OS or OS-hardware problem.

Some other things to note:
>whenever the PC restarts and sometimes when it turns on I hear a surge, maybe the GPU or fan for the CPU; there's a light grinding sound that last for under a second.
>I could play intense games fine on it like Elden Ring (which I got from a Russian crack site and it crashed my PC once with, if I recall correctly, display errors, but this was before the current install) and Verdun for 10-100 hours.
>My mouse also multiclicks now and mice can cause hardware usage to spike can't they?
>There is some wiggle room in the power supply socket, and when replugging I forgot to switch the PC off so I heard electrical crackle.

While I realized I hadn't tried this on Linux, seeking through the scroll wheel immediately crashes it as I decided to do a fresh install of Windows on that drive I just installed Linux on updated drivers and all. Scrolling with another reinstall of the driver it seems that mpv crashes it as it can't keep up with speed it needs to generate images. There are spikes in power usage, disk usage (SATA SSD for the main drive), and some GPU usage. Could the HDMI not being 100% plugged due to it hitting a part of the case be the issue? This is a bizarre problem.

Try using memtest86+ to test your RAM. Most Linux installation CDs have it. If yours doesn't have it, you can download SystemRescue: https://www.system-rescue.org/

And just keep on using Linux? be sure to install the proprietary nvidia drivers if you have nvidia GPU. AMD and Intel GPUs don't need the proprietary drivers. Also, try updating your UEFI firmware, unless your PC crashes so often that doing it wouldn't be safe.

I'll run it some time this week but I think the issue might be the GPU. I went to take out the GPU and it was a little loose in the slot because of its own weight, reinstalling it seemed firmer and I had no issues with mpv, through the mouse wheel and arrow keys, until some hours later where it went back to crashing doing that. I decided to see if it was the GPU by running Unigine Superposition and it crashed twice in the loading screen, at 3GB~ and 1GB~ of VRAM. It is normal for GPUs to sag a little especially if they don't look warped right? I also rechecked the BIOS to see if the CPU and RAM were overclocked and they weren't. And the grinding sound was the disc drive while the fans spinning were just the GPU on startup.

I tried applying max settings a game from 15 years ago from the menu and the changes immediately crashed it, I decided to make changes one at a time and it didn't. I then played something on RPCS3 (CPU-intensive) and it crashed after a while. My CPU is a little rickety but I think it's narrowed down to RAM, GPU, and/or power supply. I just now, after my PC had been turned off for a considerable amount of time, tried seeking and it didn't crash so could that be a heat issue? If there's nothing wrong the RAM I think I'll have to take it to a shop as I don't  have any other parts to borrow.

Memtest86 came back with a pass after 13 tests and 4 passes. My computer lost audio and so I reinstalled the GPU driver and it's working again. Today I got no mpv crashes and I will now decide to test it again with the reinstalled driver: nothing happened, like this problem solved itself. I appreciate the 10+ posts chain of asking for help.

I recently bought a domain on Namecheap (first time buying a domain) but I have two issues, which I couldn't find any information on.

>The ICANN confirmation email doesn't work
I need to click on a link they send to confirm my email or else they suspend my domain. When I click on it, I get on a page with the following message:
<Unable to complete Registrant email address verification. We apologize, but we’re not able to verify the Registrant email address, as this verification link is no longer valid. What might have happened:
<The Registrant email address for your new domain(s) has already been verified. In this instance, your site(s) will already be scheduled to (re)activate automatically, usually within 24 - 48 hours.
<The link you clicked was generated over a week ago, and has now expired. If this is the case, the updates you made will have reverted to what they were previously and you will need to repeat the process again.
<You can see your Registrant email address by logging into your Namecheap Account and going to the Domain Management section. You can update this information at any time.
It still says on Namecheap that I need to verify my email address. And I tried resending the email a couple times, but the same thing still happens. My best guess is that it has something to do with me being on Tor and/or with providing fake personal information that I generated on a website but didn't check to be totally valid.

>Renewing the domain costs much more than expected
When I was looking to buy the domain, it was saying that the price is "$0.98/yr" and "Retail $1.78/yr", which I interpreted as it costing $0.98 for the first year and $1.78 for the following years.
But it also had a ominous message saying "Offer is applied automatically on login. Renews at $23.48/yr. Not applicable to premium domains." if you hovered over a "i" sign.
I managed to buy the domain for about 1 buck, but now when I click on "Renew" out of curiosity, the price it gives me is over 20 bucks, like in that message. Did those kikes scam me?

What can you personally suggest me? I bought this domain for a sort of very tiny online "business" that I'm just starting, but I'm not sure if having this domain as opposed to using a generic thing like Wordpress or Neocities is going to bring me over extra ~25 bucks a year to justify keeping it alive... and there's no clear way of testing that.

Are there any esoteric networking shenanigans needed in order to get F355 Challenge's Arcade release working in Flycast?
Being a multiboard game it requires a LAN link to another Naomi board or in this case a second emulator instance in order to work, looking through some forums this requires turning on Naomi support under network settings, enabling BBA emulation and setting one instance to act as a Server.
Unfortunately doing this only results in both instances failing to find one another and quitting after 15 seconds or so, I disabled UPnP because it errored out in the CLI and manually opened a UDP port on my firewall+put it in the emus with the same result.
I did get this to work a year ago with my PC in an airgapped state, but shutting down my active network connection via networkmanager also doesn't help.
Disabling network functionality in flycast results in the game freezing after failing to sync with a slave machine, which is also what happened when I first tried running it over a year ago.

I'd check the actual file types of lindberg and lindberg.so with file <file>. ldd might also be useful.
It might also be the case that the wrong linker (ld.so) is being used, but that's more doubtful.

I think the easiest solution would be to build it as a static binary with musl-libc (install musl-dev and use musl-gcc instead of gcc). Though it looks like you'll have to modify the Makefile, so perhaps not (I wonder why they build shared libraries here at all).

Make sure you're building lindbergh.so as 32 bit.

This may also cause some issues since the emulator writes patches on different games at hardcoded offsets, which includes Initial D Arcade Stage 4 Rev B (see src/lindbergh/patch.c:1095).
It could be a false-positive though if you edited the game's executable yourself.
>>15379
The emulator uses LD_PRELOAD with its own shared library to hook a bunch of functions, so you probably can't build it as a single static binary.
It could also depend on some glibc specific behavior when loading, though I haven't tested it.
>>15380
>does Jewbuntu as lindbergh-loader's reference distro still use it?
libcg's is a graphics API seemingly developed by Nvidia: https://developer.download.nvidia.com/cg/index.html
You can find it in the repository itself under the libs/ directory.
The emulator sets up LD_LIBRARY_PATH just to use it, except it's wrongfuly using lib instead of libs (at src/lindbergh/lindbergh.c:247), so you may have to do LD_LIBRARY_PATH=libs/ yourself for libcg.so to load.
Besides that, again make sure you're building lindbergh.so as 32 bit. You can use file lindbergh.so to check its architecture like >>15379 said. Maybe try building the emu with CMake too.
If all else fails maybe try strace-ing the emulator and make sense of its logs, or posting them here if you can't. Just make sure you don't leak anything you don't want from them.

The limit should be small anyway just because there's no reason to have a 1024 character long password.

You can measure a password scheme's security by getting the number of possible passwords.
e.g. random lowercase characters from a-z + numbers from 0 to 9 gives you an alphabet of 36 possible symbols, that elevated to the length of the password gives you the possible number of passwords. With 12 characters, you get 36 to the 12th power which is 2^62 passwords. This scheme is okay for autogenerated passwords used in a password manager, for passwords a human memorizes you can use Diceware. With a Diceware dictionary of 7776 words and a password length of 5, 7776 to the 5th power is about 2^64.

All you have to do now is calculate how quickly it's possible to bruteforce 2^62 or 2^64 different passwords. If you find that these password lenghts and their resulting security level are expensive enough that they're not bruteforceable, then you can figure out which of these 2 schemes produces passwords with the most characters and make sure you have just enough space to fit it. Definitely a password based on words is longer, if you assume all the words are 9 characters long, you get 45 characters for 5 words. You can round it up to the nearest power of 2 which is 64, and double it to 128 to give it some leeway. 128 could be a good password length limit for your website.

In a service, you should generally make limits enough to cover reasonable usecases but no more, you don't know how they'll be abused.

You guys forget that people may use unicode en passwords. A common phrase in chinese may be easy to figure out but still take four bytes per glyph. 128 bytes will probably be fine but if you limited it to 20 bytes you'd be really restrictive. Cause that's like one complex emoji. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 is 28 bytes long. Yes that's the english flag.

Similar with nicknames. For nicknames or whatever you coul count grapheme cluster and place an additional restriction based on that to prevent visually overly long names but don't be too restrictive with the amount of bytes. Other languges exist and you should provide at least four times the space as you'd use for ascii.

Alternatively, if you're fine with using a different program to extract subtitles then you can try ffmpeg.
First you need to use ffprobe (utility program that should come with ffmpeg) to find out in which stream your subtitle is and which format it's using.
For example:
# NOTE: most of ffprobe's output has been omitted for brevity

In the example above, there's multiple subtitle streams.
If you wanted to extract the English subtitle you'd pick stream 0:3.
Take note of its format too since you'll need it for the extracted subtitle's file extension. In this case the format is subrip and its corresponding extension is .srt
With that information you can now build and execute the extraction command:
ffmpeg -i movie.mkv -map 0:3 -c copy subtitle.srt
The noteworthy options here are:
>-map 0:3 -- this selects the previously chosen stream 0:3
>-c copy -- makes sure the stream is only copied to the output and not re-encoded, thus preserving the original subtitle format
Note that this operation may take some time depending on your disk speed and the size of the input file due to the way Matroska stores data.

If ffprobe shows it then you should be able to extract it, even if format is unknown to ffmpeg.
Another tool you may try specifically for Matroska is MKVToolNix: https://mkvtoolnix.download/ (or mkvtoolnix in your package manager)
Instead of ffprobe you'd use mkvinfo to get stream/track information, then mkvextract to extract tracks to files.
For example:
# Print information about the Matroska file
mkvinfo ./movie.mkv
# Extract the same subtitle stream used in the ffmpeg example in >>15426
mkvextract ./movie.mkv tracks 3:subtitles.srt
# You can specifiy multiple tracks to be extracted at the same time if you want
mkvextract ./movie.mkv tracks 1:audio.eac3 3:subtitles.srt 4:other_subtitles.srt
You should also know that none of these methods care about the format of the tracks being extracted.

Hey Nerds. I'm not particularly good with anything code/program related, but I've got about too damn many projects I need to work on. Several of them are in the Ren'Py game engine, but I have some serious tinfoil about the death of the Atom editor and the obviously forced usage of Visual Studio. I see it as Microsoft taking down a damn good indie product and siezing a backdoor copyright on Ren'Py and all the work the indie turds are doing.
Thus, I need help: I need an editor/IDE/something that works well with Ren'Py and Python 3, so I can codemonkey my bullshit. I'm currently using Linux Mint with the default Text Editor. I passed on Sublime and several others due to poor reviews and the Freemium gag, and the Ren'Py tutorials I get via YT are all 2022 era or poorly disguised panhandling. I have the disk space for emacs, but not by much. Just hoping for something Python 3 friendly, if not specific and maintained.

 I'm seeking feedback on my April Fool's prank, which may ruffle some feathers, so I need to be well-prepared
against doxxing. My plan is to create a fake persona that doesn't share my interests, someone who embodies the
character of a cocky, self-proclaimed dumb hacker with a penchant for leetspeak and Discord raids. People will
likely assume this individual is real, but in reality, I'll be controlling their online presence.

My top priority ideas are:

1. Utilize an Android virtual machine with spoofed GPS to create fake locations on social media platforms like
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tinder. This is my most valuable resource. Additionally, generate fake Google
Maps reviews of places I've never been to.
2. Rewrite all chat messages through ChatGPT in Tor to conceal my writing style. If that's not possible, I'll use
NeuralDaredevil-8B-abliterated locally on my PC.

Other ideas, listed from most useful to least:

* Upload photos or documents with fake metadata on 4chan and use Exiftool to edit them, ensuring the same serial
number across multiple images.
* Generate a bio using ElfQrin (elfqrin.com/fakeid.php) and Fakenamegenerator (fakenamegenerator.com).
* Censor my photo's face using AI-generated or other methods, storing the unedited version in metadata.
* Create a public Google Drive document as if I'm sharing it with someone but was too lazy to limit access to
their email alone.
* Provide private details on smaller networks, such as board readers and Craigslist forums. Less obscure sites
include Discord, Reddit, Hacker News, TikTok, dating platforms, and more.
* Delete or alter content after the Wayback Machine caches it to create suspicion.
* Block individuals who find information about my character on social media.
* Maintain unique misspellings, grammatical errors, phrases, or bios across multiple platforms.

Additional tactics:

* Share a single link with tracking parameters across various fake personal accounts, saying "Look, I made
Twitter/YouTube/Reddit/more mad." To make it more believable, post screenshots from my Android VM, as many apps
force tracking parameters. Note that Twitter's tracking parameter contains an encoded user ID.
* Obtain fake photos of my home from real estate listings or purchased property images.
* Rush comments with intentional misspellings using Gofbid to appear intimidated or angry when "my cover" is
blown.
* Claim I use VPNs and privacy software recommended by YouTubers and that I learned OPSEC in Discord.
* Make it seem like my haters found my fake personal email or phone number (public VoIP) through account recovery
or contact exploitation. Which sites allow using a phone number without confirmation?

Questions for further investigation:

* Can I obtain an abandoned account from an old data breach for my sock puppet?
* Are there alternative photo sources, such as Fiver or Vidi?

Regarding my OPSEC, it's largely based on OSINT Techniques 10th edition by Mike Bazzell:

* I'll create accounts at a public WiFi spot in my country or another to avoid VPN-blocking and use DOH if
necessary. Then, I'll access those accounts from home using the same Mullvad server.
* Use a high-entropy, randomly generated password for each account via KeepassXC.
* All activities will be conducted within an Ubuntu and Android virtual machine with no personal information or
activity.
* Employ TOR with JavaScript disabled whenever possible; if not, use LibreWolf without extensions.

I can see that your threat source is very big corporations or states. At that point, you may need to consider what the point of creating a fake persona is. The question is how much resource they need to figure out whether it is real or not, and how much they are willing to spend. Of course, the better the fake, the harder to break.
If your adversaries can't figure out it's a fake profile, then they can be misdirected into chasing a false end. You may even design traps if you are confident.
On the other hand, if they can eventually figure out that the profile is fake. It serves as a delay tactic, which you need to have a good use of the time it buys you. For example, escaping to an opposing country.
At your current state, I'd maintain my suggestion of buying fake accounts which were cultivated for this kind of scenario. Unless you really need that persona for your operation, it'd be the best way to go. Additionally, you may want to chain some fake accounts together to further mislead investigators.
Another thing, even when using Tor, there are a lot of other ways to track. Viewport size, css, browser features can all be used to fingerprint you. If possible, dispose the device and switch often.

No, since I'm not engaging in any illegal activities, I believe my primary concern is individuals with OSINT
skills who might recognize me in my pseudonymous form. Correct me if I'm mistaken, as this is new territory for
me, but I'm under the impression that, since all troll activities will take place within a virtual machine (VM),
it's less likely to be confused with my real identity. To further reduce fingerprintable metrics, I could turn off
JavaScript. Even if my VM has a unique signature and can be traced, they wouldn't uncover my true identity because
the metrics on my personal computer are distinct.

If my VM is compromised, there would be no personal information to find, and if any were present, it would be
deleted using BleachBit, followed by the creation of a new VM clone or transition to an alternative OS.

My operational security (opsec) in non-troll accounts involves the following:

Through an array of search tools (Sherlock,SocialScan, Holehe, WhatsMyName, Blackbird, Maigret, etc.) and by scouring all three major search engines, URL
searches, and email account recovery, I deleted approximately six accounts linked to my real identity. One of
these revealed a connection between my real name and username, but it remained unindexed by search engines and the
Wayback Machine, ensuring my privacy is preserved.

Although there are still some accounts that could be eliminated for a fresh start, I'm hesitant due to nostalgia
and fear of arousing suspicion should they disappear before my intended reveal.

I've taken further measures: I've disconnected all usernames from my private email and replaced them with an
alternate address, removed phone numbers in favor of authenticator apps, and updated all passwords to high-entropy
standards, stored securely within a KeepassXC database. My private account remains distinct from my online
persona.

I've also scrutinized the data leaked through services like Have I Been Pwned? (HIBP) and found it lacking in
severity, unable to link my private account to my username. Hudson Rock corroborated that my email isn't
associated with stealer logs.

Free people search engines proved ineffective due to my foreign status, precluding me from subscribing to paid
services for opt-out purposes.

I've additionally investigated archival sites like steamid.uk and uncovered no compromising information.

While I'm certain I've implemented many more measures, the specifics evade me. Suffice it to say that I've applied
every technique up to page 344 of OSINT Techniques 10th edition.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your input.

Well mc definitely won't work with web-related protocols. But for FTP and sftp (SSH) you can give the credentials the usual way: ftp://user:pass@host or put them in your $HOME/.netrc file. Otherwise it defaults to anonymous FTP. The man page has some examples. It makes reference to netrc or .netrc man page, which probably doesn't exist, but you can read the ftp man page instead. But if your Linux distro has shitty man pages (as most of them do) then it might not have an ftp man page either, and then you'll have to go to the OpenBSD site and read theirs. You might as well also just install OpenBSD while you're there, just to be sure. :)

I don't think you have to pull off your prank. It's just that you need to understand about how things work and how people can track you.
Your goal is to block all path that your adversary can tracm you. What it means by tracking you is associating the entity that was commiting the prank with your physical entity. They need information to track you.
When you commit your prank, you send messages, which contains data and metadata. Every single interaction exposes those data.
For data, clear all exif on images, randomize file name and file dates. Run them through losy compression. You are already using ai to remove writing style. But there can still be words or ideas that are unique to you.
For metadata, when you post things, how you post things, where (ip address) you post things. There are a lot of metadata and most tracking is done that way. You already have tor and browser covered. There isn't a lot more to be done, unless you go full cybercrime mode, where you have someone place a scripted device somewhere to run the thing and self destruct.

Really dumb things I'd love to do:
- Have an option that stops all focus-grabbing, except for purposeful clicking on a window or alt-tabbing. E.g., if I'm in a file folder, and open a game, and the game takes time to load, let it sit in the background. Do not interrupt me 5 minutes later when you've finally decided to load. Never allow stuff to grab my attention. Browser popups do not happen. If my PC is going to explode, let it, at least you didn't bug me about it.

git's default branch was master. GitHub and other git hosts conform to sjw niggerfuckery and have its own default branch changed to main. That probably happened at the same time as whitelist to allowlist and blacklist to blocklist. Then some git installations began to distrubute git with the default branch set to main.

Any notable drawbacks to having a RAID setup on your daily driver PC as opposed to a separate NAS?
If I want to have RAID on my PC with reliable ZFS and my system is Linux, should I run a FreeBSD VM which has direct access to the drives to simulate a NAS?
Replies: >>15683
No.15683 
>>15681
RAID 0 (stripe) is bad for reliability since any disk failure will destroy your filesystem.
RAID 1 (mirror) is good for reliability since as long as one disk is alive your filesystem remains intact.
RAID 10 (stripe of mirrors) is a good tradeoff. Never use RAID 01 (mirror of stripes), it's bad and pointless.
RAID 5/6/.. makes a better space/redundancy tradeoff than RAID 10 though it might have poor performance characteristics, since all disks will have to be accessed for all I/O. It is also harder to extend, if you ever get more disks.

RAID 0 write/read performance is up to the sum of all disks.
RAID 1 read performance is up to the sum of all disks. Write performance is the minimum of all disks.

Having a RAID setup on your PC is more convenient than a separate NAS. Unless you intend to have a lot of disks I'd just use the PC. 
You can use ZFS directly on Linux. If you already use Linux I wouldn't bother with FreeBSD, let alone a VM.

It is also possible to have "ZFS on root". I don't recommend it since it's prone to break.

(and of course, RAID != backup)

ZFS has bit rot protection. Meanwhile in conventional RAID, if you get corruption on one side, it gets copied to the other instead of getting detected and fixed.
No.15689 
>>15687
The main advantage is that filesystem + block layer are combined, whereas LVM only sees blocks and isn't aware of the filesystem.

LVM necessarily introduces some overhead to map block addresses (on top of the mapping done by the FS). ZFS doesn't need this.
ZFS has very efficient send/recv between datasets, since it know exactly which files have changed between any two snapshots.
If you lose some data on ZFS (due to lack of redundancy, bad luck or something else) you can see exactly which files are affected.
ZFS can do compression per record (which consist of multiple blocks) and also ensure records are written contiguously. LVM can only do compression per block at best since it isn't aware of the filesystems on top of it.

(From what I understand it is also possible for LVM to create a snapshot in the middle of a filesystem update, which might lead to inconsistency, but probably a non-issue with any robust FS).

Meanwhile the default filesystem in the FreeBSD installer is ZFS, so it should work better if you want to run a single OS with a single filesystem on a single device that you intend to use as a NAS. Which admittedly is not what anon wants to do.

If the person returns the phone to you, the most they can do is to take all its data and turn it into a way to further compromise systems the phone has access to.

Tor is  the only one that's actually private and usable. If you must use a VPN service, I suggest Mullvad (Proton VPN is okay if you use it for low-risk use-cases). You *could* also roll your own VPN (maybe buy a Chink VPS and set up Wireguard?).

would be cool to have a browser that opens tabs in a tree structure instead of linearly
im the kind of person that likes to open a shitload of tabs at the same time, but it gets real messy real fast
imagine browsing siteA and siteB
when you open links on siteA, they show up under siteA's tab (or sth like that) and don't mix up with links you opened from siteB
so links A1,A2,A3 are separate from B1,B2 and you know where you originally found them
so when you keep browsing, links A1A,A1B,A1C don't get mixed with A2A,A2B and so on
you could in theory deal with cyclic trees (aka regular graphs), but you don't really need to worry about this edge case, if you click the link to a page you already have open, it just opens it again in a new tab like normal

its already possible to organize things hierarchically with bookmarks, so i think the same capability should be extended to the pages i have open rather than just the ones i have saved

Using a VPN service means that your ISP is not seeing what you do. But glowies can instead send a letter to your VPN provider that makes them give all logs anyway.

To spell it out, I feel like I have to do Illuminati-level shit to find these places. Like the webring requires you somehow find out about zzzchan, trashchan, or alogs--and then the really good chans require you to link hunt in the nonindexed webring boards. The spiciest gemlogs don't get listed in CAPCOM, so you have to find people infuriated by the existence of those gemlogs, and like the burning of the Temple of Artemis, find out about them by proxy. Fringe substacks are a similar story, but more of an oeiginal source hunting trail where you have to dig 10 links deep like you're searching for the Holy Grail or Ark of the Covenant. Sites like Poal, InfoWars, Daily Stormer, Mises Institute, Zerohedge, Lew Rockwell, etc. you only get to know about by some oldfag namedropping them once every blue moon. They're all pretty famous sites, but my god does finding them really have to be such an initiation ritual every time?

This is true for some of them. Others get hidden by search engines and there is a whole gap of linking those sites, either by various algorithms on social media to hide them, or just because the opinions from those sites are not popular.
The lost in publicity somewhat protects the site from major attacks by the government and private hackers. If the site has user provided content, then moderation cost will be lower with less people.

To my knowledge, those sites don't use obscurity to gatekeep, they use maliciously applied rulesets. For example, smugli/a/'s Rule 11 being applied to posts when they look like they're written with the pedantry of Theodore Kaczynski.
Case in point, try finding this very zzzchan using Google without knowing about the name 'zzzchan.' What would you even search?
Anyways, to try to bring it back to the topic at hand, the only way around it I've found is by finding what I guess I would call...website review sites? Like the websitereview or peepaalu Neocities sites . However, then I'm left with how to even find _those_ websites.

A gemlog is a blog on the Gemini protocol. There are a few threads talking about it on the board rn, but I'm lazy. You have to install a special browser to view the sites like you have to get Tor Browser or I2P for those sites.
Substack is like if Neocities was a blogging platform, but normies used it.  E.g., https://armageddonprose.substack.com/ .
>>15997
A lot of them you can find by just looking at the boards listing of a particular chan instead of in the webring. For example, if you go to trashchan's board listing, you can find /comfy/ which is on the webring, but you can also find /l/, which isn't. There are also hidden boards, like wizchan's /elder/, but hidden boards are more of an in-joke thing most of the time that you find out by someone eventually posting about them after lurking for years.

Allchans, yeah. But usually when I search for just "chans" on Google, I get USAID prop slop news articles or a direct link to 4chan and maybe 8chan a few results down and that's it. It is like a Matryoshka doll because you really have to know which magic keyword to put in, and then go at least a few links in to find stuff. Also, allchans has its own issues. It used to be you really had to click through 20 chan links in its listing to find the nondead chans, as well as >>16009 's issue.

Very good question, I spent days researching it and reached the conclusiom that I can't do it easilly. It may be different for you.
If you are not going to host politicaly incorrect content and you don't mind having no control with no dynamic content, then github static page over tor with anonymous email (eg: cock.li) is good enough over tor.
If your use case requires any of the following, it will be much harder.
>domain name
>vps
>ddos protection
For opsec, getting a domain name limits you to a couple registries which allow monero and don't collect your data. You also need https certs to go along with it, let's encrypt makes things a bit easier.
vps, same thing. You need crypto and a provider that doesn't collect your data.
ddos protrection, you are pretty much toasted if you use cloudfuck when you host sensitive contents.
njal.la does most things, but it's very expensive. There are other providers, but I forget them.

Is it really that hard? You don't need a domain name registrar or a VPS provider to accept Monero if you can just exchange Monero for Bitcoin. As long as you do everything through Tor and make up fake billing information (and they don't require you to verify your identity) you're fine. Of course, it's better for a service to be more privacy conscious, but ultimately it may not be worth it if it's much more expensive, etc.
Personally I've bought a domain name with Namecheap but there are two things you should keep in mind. First is that they require you to verify your email address after you buy your domain or else they seize it, and that's NOT going to work UNLESS you click on the "Verify Email" button from an IP address corresponding to whatever country you registered your fake identity as. In that case, use an appropriate Tor exit node or route a proxy after Tor. Second is not necessarily related to Opsec, but Namecheap is nefarious for its Jewish scams and tactics. Their domain names are only cheap for the first year, so always check the renewal price unless you don't plan to keep the domain longer than a year. And this may apply to many other registrars.
As for email I used Protonmail. As much of a honeypot they are, it's fine to use it for purposes like this. They don't block Tor and you can use a burner email for verification. Just keep in mind that you should send some random email and wait 15 minutes before registering to anything with Protonmail or else Proton is going to flag your account as a bot account.
As for a VPS, I've gotten a Kyun VM. They're actually are privacy-conscious and not expensive. They even offer a 10% discount on Monero.
As for DDOS protection, I don't know, but I wouldn't use Cuckflare because it GLOWS and it RUINED THE INTERNET.

I got a letter in the mail from Wal-Mart today. Usually, I just throw junk mail away like anyone else, but it just had this suspicious aura, so I was intrigued. The contents is a letter with a check for $20 even. The letter states that there was some financial mishap on their end, so they owe me $20, so here's a check for $20. So, red flag 1:  free money with no strings attached.
Red flag two: I've never bought anything at Wal-Mart with card or check. I always make purchases in cash because I'm a fucking paranoid schizo. Their story doesn't add up.
Red flag three: they're using one of my proxy addresses (thank you J.J. Luna).
Red flag four: the check is signed by Wal-Mart's VP of finance. The fucking VP took time out of his day to sign a check.
Red flag five: the logo is a black and white copy paste of the Wal-Mart logo with lots of jpeg artifacts.
Red flag six: the check states that it has a watermark--it does not have a watermark.
I'm just...so intrigued because I've had plenty of people try to scam me before, but old school mail fraud? What is this, the 1960s? How does the scam even work? I feel like I'm talking to a criminal who just stepped out of a time machine from just after the war.
