still having the boot issue from >>3416 , system doesn't see my SSD as a boot drive but i can still go into an EFI shell and browse/boot off of it. I've tried running update-grub a few times but that hasn't changed anything.

Hey guys I was wondering if a board on making an imageboard would be a good idea? I'm not very into /tech/ stuff but I thought the knowledge would be good to have in case this site goes down.

>>3497
You need to manually tell your UEFI about the .efi file.
Use efibootmgr on Linux.

The UEFI only automatically detects .efi files if they're on external storage and inside an ESP partition with a /efi/boot/bootx64.efi file (there are a few other names too), it's mandated by the standard.

Sometimes I can't access specific websites or subdomains. For example, occasionally I cannot access *.booru.org sites (booru.org itself works) and earlier today I couldn't access archive.is and its various urls. By rapidly switching between DNS servers I could kind of make some of the urls work, but they would quickly stop working but continue working if I tried accessing them through Tor. As of now, the problem has seemingly disappeared upon rebooting and I'm not sure if this affects other computers in the house.
Is there anything in my Linux installation that could be causing this? Is my ISP fucking with me? I recently installed dnscrypt but these problems predate it.

>>3517
For all I know, it could also be some weird hardware issue. No matter what OS is on this machine, as of late I seem to go through wifi cards unusually fast before they all develop the same problem (my wifi simply stops working until I reboot), no matter what brand or chipset they are, and now there's this. Maybe it's time I replace this piece of shit.

>>3518
have you tried updating the BIOS/UEFI firmware? Does OpenNIC DNS work?

>>3517
Post /etc/resolv.conf. What OS? Which dhcp client?
>inb4 systemd-resolved
Also check if your ISP is hijacking your DNS port traffic

>>3519
>Have you tried updating the BIOS/UEFI firmware?
For that I'd either have to install Windows again or follow one of several methods to create a HP recovery drive, which arbitrarily work or don't work depending on what specific HP computer you have, and I'd rather not fuck up my BIOS right now.
>Does OpenNIC DNS work?
I've included two OpenNIC DNS servers in my dnscrypt-proxy.toml config file.
>>3520
As of now, it's this because dnscrypt-proxy is handling DNS:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
options edns0
Previously it was this:
# Generated by dhcpcd from wlp6s0.dhcp
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 192.168.0.1
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
>Which dhcp client?
My dhcp client is dhcpcd and I am free of systemd.
>Also check if your ISP is hijacking your DNS port traffic
Not sure how I'd test for or find that specifically, but I ran dnstraceroute with the --expert flag and it didn't flag shit.

>>3517
What's the error? If it can't resolve the domain, there's some fuckery going on with the DNS, if connection refused/timeout/lost/etc the there is some problem with the connection to the site. If you can check with a different device on the same network.
Also if you use OpenNIC check the server list, some of their servers are pretty shit and stop working randomly.
If nothing helps run wireshark in the background, then look at the capture after a failure.

>>3521
Isolate the problem. Disable dhcpcd's resolv.conf hook and use the two main opennic dns (182.121...., type it in resolv.conf) for a while. See if it happens again. Also make sure the browser you are using doesn't rat you out and use its own dns server.

>>3521
I've used dnscrypt-proxy in the past and it has a tendency to start answering with SERVFAIL if it receives too many answers at once. Happens often to me because I have a torrent client accessing loads of tracker domains all the time. It's a long standing bug.

dnsmasq with stubby works well.
unbound breaks if your connection isn't perfect.
unwind is the only good DNS resolver I've used.

>I fixed it, turns out github not being accessible was an internet explorer issue and downloading chromium fixed that. No idea why I can't ping it

>>2994

a few minutes behind or in future can make websites shat.
>>3020
next time try to use "ip neigh" and see if someone's poisoning your dns if your gateway IP is shown with a zero mac or a device that isn't what your gateway mac is (possibly from a malicious client/hacker).

otherwise try to ping your isp provided dns, or other mainstream dns and check online "is it down" services to find out if it's just your isp.
opennic is notorious for having some occasional fuck ups and downtimes, if you use linux you can set multiple dns on the settings but it does not guarantee that it will pick the live dns (happened to me before why I stopped using oppenic)

How would you reencode this video to be as visually lossless as possible but at a lower size? 
I tried reencoding it with ffmpeg's default mp4 codec can't remember if it's 265 in the newer versions but with a crf of 20 it was already over twice the size and had some quality loss, so I'm not sure I could get it lower even with options.

>>3549
>with a crf of 20 it was already over twice the size and had some quality loss
There will always be quality loss unless you do a "true" lossless encode (i.e. crf 0). Try a lossless H.264 encode and check the file size, if that's not satisfactory try a two-pass lossless VP9 encode.

>>3551
Lossless coding will be almost surely be much larger than the original, even if it's some shit wmv, and lossy recoding will be... well, lossy. Try to play around with the settings until you find something acceptable, but don't expect miracles.

>>3551
>some quality loss
I meant noticeable quality loss. 
I don't care for 1:1 frame integrity. I want to know if it's possible to reencode that video such that the file size is smaller and there's no human noticeable quality loss, or if that video is specific is just too fucky. 
>webm 
I don't think that sort of video would work with webm, but I'll give it a try.

>>3553
If you want webm, use VP9. H264/265 won't work with webm and VP9 is better than VP8.

>>3553
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP9
Set quality to best, calculate your ideal bitrate or size then do two pass.

[Hide] (27.1MB, 1280x720, 01:03)

>>3554
I tried it. It looks pretty good. There's some slight encoding blur in a few intermediary frames but I'll take it for the size and format. 
I remember webm being a shit for videos with artifacts, I wonder if that was just a problem with VP8 or if the movement being mostly centralized helped ameliorate that.

>>3557
Aw shit I forgot the audio. Thank god -c:v copy exists.

>>3557
Actually even codecs evolve, even when they're constrained to a specific format, so it's possible that a VP9 codec today produces better result than it did say 5 years ago when things were more immature. But yeah, the content matters too, I once compressed 5 minutes of full HD video into 12MB webm with acceptable quality... because it was a recording of a VN, which is basically a slideshow. Try the same with a video with a lot of fast moving action, 720p and 50MB where it stopped looking complete garbage.

>>3517
First of all this problem could be browser specific.
Chrome, Firefox, Gecko-based, Blink-based, all of them have different interactions and may break website, also setting up the OCSP checking and verification can break a website.
>what breaks it

Here's the factors:
>DNS is down
recurring issue with opennic
>System Clock is wrong
you need to sync with a NTP provider, few minutes or seconds may break dns requests but it still depends on browser. Bad browsers will let you browse even if your clock is out of sync and this is bad.
You need your clock synced. Dual booting windows can fuck up timezones and your rtc clock so avoid that if possible. Wrong dates due to dual booting win/linux is also unhealthy for file systems since the dates will collide and may potentially break your file system if you hibernated linux, booted up windows which modified timezone/clock, and resumed linux. 
>you've been blocked
right, this is pretty uncommon but some sites block you literally
either you're in a pubic blocklist or did something stupid like portscan.
using "tor browser" user agent can also get you locked out of certain sites with automated management or because the same user agent had "abused" the website so they now block the same pattern or it's a local ddos protection
>dnssec fails https://rootcanary.org/test.html
of course this only works if you had set up dnssec,
using multiple dns providers will provide weird/mixed results from the test above which is unsafe to do and is not encouraged to do.
also, failing access over website means your dns might be forged by your either your ISP, infected router, or an infected browser (look up Superfish) that's why tor/vpn may work but everything else don't BUT this may also fail if your DNS configuration or provider is actually not working.

You can also test your dns, sometimes an ISP router or your local browser might provide a custom DNS when it fails that's why you might still be able to browse sites from other browsers but what actually happened in that scenario was your dnssec actually had failed completely and browsers that still worked may have been using a fallback.

>>3521
>>>Is there anything in my Linux installation that could be causing this? Is my ISP fucking with me? I recently installed dnscrypt but these problems predate it.
>>>I've included two OpenNIC DNS servers in my dnscrypt-proxy.toml config file.
Looks like the problem. OpenNIC at least have 80% reliability or even 50% from my experience, it's only usable if you use multiple of them but from a privacy/anti-tracking standpoint it is a bad practice as it will show web services a unique DNS fingerprint.
>dnscrypt-proxy is handling DNS
This is bad since it might break other requests like NTP time updates and what you should do is have dnscrypt running over the router and not over your system, since you don't have systemd I can recommend you to do a #ntpd -gq and if it fails it means your system clock might be wrong all along and your DNS is broken.

>chink drawing tablet only works wirelessly, but battery is shot to hell
>open it up to see what it takes

The closest I could find was https://www.ebay.com/itm/333393872830 , but nothing really beyond that. It's 2.5x1.5x0.25 inches and has a three prong connector (two ground). I've searched the GB code whateverthefuckitis and it's some chink standard. The manufacturer has already told me they don't send out replacement batteries, so I'm on my own. Any idea where I could get a replacement?

>>3578
i'm finding a few similar batteries but they all only have one ground rail. is that second ground really important?

>>3578
>>3579
Maybe a data sheet for the battery would explain it? If you can find a battery with the same pin out, voltage, and size, you will probably be ok. The third wire is usually for a thermistor, but it is odd being the same color.

>>3579
Get a meter and see what is going on between the wires. Try to power with a dc power supply of the right voltage/adjustable, if it works you can stick a dc-dc converter on any battery and call it a day.

Where do I get dirt cheap thinkpad? I can't find one that is both good and cheap, they are either sold out or too expensive for its own good. I did find one x60 for $100 but when I see guys like Luke Smith boasting that he got 4 thinkpads for $50 I lost all hope. No way I'm paying that much for one machine, not to mention the additional shipping cost that I might have to pay. I live in some third world shit hole though. Maybe I have to scout some Facebook group for used laptop in general and maybe find a thinkpad eventually? Give me some hints to find dirt cheap old thinkpad please.

>>3582
Local irl second hand market, eg craiglist, garage sells. Faggots like Luke Smith got the word out and bumped the price even higher. Supply only ever decreases but every nerd larper wants one. It's too late. Got a T400 for a hundred bucks a while ago and that was the cheapest near me.
What are you doing with it? It doesn't have to be thinkpad if you are not planning to libreboot.

>>3582
In general:
>t4xx, t5xx
Means laptop workstations with 14 and 15 inch screens respectively.
The xx increases with multiples of ten with every new version eg: t410 - t420 - t430 - etc
>X2xx
12 inch screen and overall a very portable design. xx as above. There are also versions with an "s" at the end (X220s) meaning usually some improvements on the base model.

You can easily find an x220 or t410 on ebay sub $100. x60 is pretty old and has been memed too hard. t5xx is usually pricier because people are anchored on a 15 inch screen. Imho the 14 inch is much better and in case you have never used one of the x series with the 12 inch screens, you should definitely buy one, best laptop I've ever owned.

Having said that, if you are looking for modern processors (such as i7) prices have gone up. Early 2020 I got one below 300 and one year later average price was 20% - 30% more, X2xx were still reasonably priced though.


>Luke Smith
I don't understand what people find in him. I know he has a lot of people following him but he seems severely mentally deficient.

>>3582
Luke and the /g/ memes made the prices go up by a lot, so don't expect any price that he mentioned to still be a possibility. Also, if there aren't as many of them in your country, then it makes sense that they are more expensive, if people still know that they are valuable. I bought mine earlier this year and paid a typical eBay price, because I wanted a laptop and my intention is for this one to be the last, and ThinkPads are not going to get any cheaper because technology will only become more invasive, crappy and evil. Anyway, you can consider looking for other computers as well and see if you get lucky. Panasonic's Toughbooks are huge and probably bulletproof, so you can one as a shield or to crack someone's skull in half. Maybe look into Toshiba Tecras. I'm not sure how comparable they are to the ThinkPads, but they have trackpoints and look kinda similar, and I have only heard people mention them a few times. Still, it's probably not nearly as easy to find parts for those if you need them. The Dell Latitude is also a thing, but they don't have real keyboards, so they are more like current laptops.

Are there any good programs that allow you to treat use microphone as an oscilloscope and view the waves with a trigger?

I don't use qtox very often, but an earlier version didn't give you the option to go into settings until after you created a profile and logged in. Then you could change to socks5 proxy over Tor. I'm assuming that the default ID had already broadcasted user IP to the DHT network. So after changing the settings, I close program, restart, create a new profile and log in. That new profile is using Tor from it's first contact with the network. No real IP info is ever attached to that ID.

But the latest version I have changed behavior. I still can't go into the network settings and proxy the connection until after I create a default ID, log in, etc. But now, if I close the program and restart, create a new ID and log in, it still connects without the proxy settings. I have to go back in and change it again. But if I log out and log in with the default ID, the proxy settings are still saved and it connects to Tor. This change in behavior seems suspicious to me or maybe I'm being too paranoid. 

What do you think?

>>3614
Suspicious or not, I do not know. But I know being a paranoid should led you to knowledge and comprehension of your own tools. That is why you choose free and open source beyond all else. Which should also led you to https://github.com/qTox/qTox/commit/31fec7488f74dc2fe38f0a8515b415c21f3e2109. It seems you are susposed to launch qTox with commandline options for proxy configs.
Read source and use commandline.

>>3615
I used 

qtox -I off -U off -L off -P SOCKS5:127.0.0.1:9050

and it apparently worked, but when I logged in and went to the advanced settings page, the proxy settings were still blank. Is there any way to test that my connection is going through Tor?

exiftool handles metadata that doesn't require to you go full schizo. If you do, there's still hypothetical metadata because of imperfections, noticable image quality difference or artifacts camera hardware or image editing software might leave.

>>3630
So, just screenshot the image and save as new file for each time you share or transmit it. Unique fingerprint every time = no discernible pattern of usage. Just make sure you practice good OPSec in anonymity and transmission and you're all set.
Easy peasy.

I have an lto5 HP tape drive that was probably pulled from a tape library. Apparently there is a "security" setting that the drive needs to be authenticated with an encryption key manager library even when it is not using encryption.

I've used some low level tools such as sg3_utils to find the relevant bits in the "security protocol in/out" pages but they don't seem to be changeable through the scsi interface. Sdparm can only change specific variables of mode sense (mode pages) that are not relevant to this problem.

Also tried to flash another firmware, in case it'd reset the settings, but couldn't find one that is compatible. They've put the firmware behind a paywall on the official site ffs.

I'm planing to open the drive and look for an undocumented way to factory reset the drive.

Looking for other suggestions on how to solve the problem.

>>3644
Not sure what your model is. Try page 204 of https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21419_04/en/LTO5_Vol3_E5b/LTO5_Vol3_E5b.pdf .

>>3647
Those are the references that I am using and I've been able get these return pages (frames) with sg3_utils and find the relevant bits. I'm pretty sure that I need to change the "Parameters Control" bit in page 203 and potentially "CFG_P" in page 202.

But I've got no idea how to actually change them.
>The SECURITY PROTOCOL OUT command is used to configure the data security parameters for the I_T nexus in the device server and on the tape.

I'm pretty sure that this doesn't provide any way to change the values.

Pic related, I can construct and send this, but how to pass the values that I need to change?

Not sure. I am looking at other commands as examples. My guess is put the offset of the property in Inc_512 and the value in 6-9.

Also, here's what I've been doing.
Pic1 is the command that I run and the output. The hex after the /dev/sg5 corresponds to the "command descriptor block" from pic 2 to get the "Data Encryption Capabilities page".

The fifth byte from the output 0x0a corresponds to the field containing the CFG_P value.
0x0a = 00001010b which means that CFG_P = 10b

Page 15/16 of manual. You should make sure all ACI signals tied high, whatever that means.

>>3668
whoever wrote that struct needs to learn programming anew

>>3669
Probably will try but I'm pretty sure that it is not only checking for presence but actually tries to communicate with the library.
Next step is to make a connector that goes into the rs-242 port, used for ADT and ACL, and then use an arduino to implement the adt-2 protocol.
Both ADT and ACL are protocols to communicate with the drive and configure it. It is the way a library interacts with the drive. ACl is proprietary though and I haven't been able to find the specification whereas for ADT there is a reference.

>>3672
The manual says the drive will think it is not connected with a library if all ACI signals are tied high. Implementing a library may not be necessary.
>The drive knows it is in a library or other ‘managed’ environment since one of the signal lines on the Automation Interface will be tied down.
>If a drive is removed from the library, it will not have the ACI signal tied low ...

>>3673
Well yeah, I'm gonna test it before I write the whole interface but the initial error was about inability to authenticate with a library even though encryption was turned off.
It may allow you to change the settings through the scsi interface if it just detects presence of a library though.
Just building the connector and connecting VCC and GND should do it.

How does H265 fare against VP9 for real life videos?

>>3694
Search around and found some research papers. There isn't a clear winner, check it out yourself.
For a specific resolution and bitrate, encode some video and do a blind test.

>>3694
If you don't care about your video playing in browser, the h265 is just more convenient as you can limit bitrate unlike vp9 where the only working dial is -crf and -qmax.

>>3698
That was the case 6 years ago, VBR works fine now in libvpx.
>>3694
vp9 works a little better for smooth footage, but if it gets grainy or sharp h265 takes a significant lead.

Is there a way to buy cheap equipment just to transmit simple, short morse code message over radio? I don't want to become a HAM or CB operator. I just want to be able to send simple messages over a distance without the need for the internet, cellular network or a big, expensive and complex HAM rig.  Is it possible?

>>3700
I should add that I know you can do this with simple two-way radios, but I was thinking of sending over larger distances than what a two-way radio, even GMRS would normally allow.

>>3700
>I don't want to become a HAM or CB operator. 
Why? It's pretty easy to get a ham license, and a CB license doesn't require an exam (but CB is too limited tbh).

>or a big, expensive and complex HAM rig.
You don't need anything fancy for CW (commonly called "morse code"). You could even get a DIY  kit. Another option is to get a used rig. You want to get a directional antenna (like Yagi-Uda antenna. See, ARRL Antenna Book. ARRL also has a book about CW.)

Yes but it's illegal without a license.

One of the computers on a local network is running Tor. I'm trying to proxy a phone app to use the sock5 port on that computer, but it's not working. I've got the address and port right and the service is running fine.

I had a weird problem. On windows, all chromium browsers boot up in a second, but when you type shit to the search box and press enter, it takes around 15 seconds or so for it to load properly. Not a problem on firefox, 1 second to boot up, and instant search found when press enter. Not a problem on linux however, both kinds of browsers work fine. My spec is an old laptop with i3 and chink ssd.

>>3729
Chromium does the same for me on Linux too, sometimes (usually shortly after startup) it becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds. I have no idea what is this shit doing, since it usually has 0% CPU and 0% disk io during this, blame the pajeets at google.

>>3728
Have you set the following somewhere?

## Tor opens a socks proxy on port 9050 by default -- even if you don't
## configure one below. Set "SocksPort 0" if you plan to run Tor only
## as a relay, and not make any local application connections yourself.
#SocksPort 9050 # Default: Bind to localhost:9050 for local connections.
#SocksPort 192.168.0.1:9100 # Bind to this adddress:port too.
SocksPort 0.0.0.0:9050 <-----------------------THIS

## Entry policies to allow/deny SOCKS requests based on IP address.
## First entry that matches wins. If no SocksPolicy is set, we accept
## all (and only) requests that reach a SocksPort. Untrusted users who
## can access your SocksPort may be able to learn about the connections
## you make.
#SocksPolicy accept 192.168.0.0/16
#SocksPolicy reject *
SocksPolicy accept 192.168.56.0/24 <--------------------Something similar to THIS

There is a torrc file in tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc where some configuration needs to be done. You might be able to set the options through the graphical interface too.

>>3731
>0.0.0.0:9050
Isn't that a security risk? Isn't it better to enumerate the precise address of the device running Tor? 
>SocksPolicy accept 192.168.56.0/24
Again, wouldn't it be better (for security) to enumerate the device wanting to access the service instead of authorizing any and all devices on the network?

>Tor browser
torrc files is on /proc so I don't think it can be manually edited. It's probably better to just configure Tor browser to use an independent Tor service, so that two Tor services don't need to be run simultaneously, one for the browser and one for the network device wanting to proxy through.

>>3735
> Isn't it better to enumerate the precise address of the device running Tor? 
Well yeah but in this case we are talking about the case that the host has multiple IP addresses, for instance two nic devices, essentially a router. Usually you're gonna have only one and you can just go with the wildcard to at least test if everything works as intended. 

>Again, wouldn't it be better (for security) to enumerate the device
That's why I wrote "similar to this".

Personally I've never used it like this. Back when I was testing different secure oriented configurations I used something similar to a whonix setup where I'd ssh port forward from one machine to the other.

>torrc files is on /proc 
>It's probably better to just configure Tor browser to use an independent Tor service
I don't know how you installed. I was referring to the zip you can download from the official site. Of course it's better to run it as a service.

Why doesn't Tor support udp?

I don't have access to my gaming PC three days a week and I was given this PC from 2008 recently. What's a decent cheap graphics card I could buy and put in it to play my games? Most of them are 2D indie games/visual novels and 3D titles from the late 2000s/early 2010s. My most demanding games would be the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Nier Replicant and all the 3D Final Fantasy games. I was thinking of a 970 but would I need to also buy a new motherboard and CPU? What should I do? Pic related are my specs

That cpu will play visuals novels and some 2000/2010s games but spyro reignited and nier are out of the question. 
A 970 would be good enough but prices are fucked

>spyro reignited and nier are out of the question
And nothing of value was lost.

>>3749
The original Nier is good. It's a shame the remake was on squenix's hands.

>>3745
If you can afford one at current inflated prices, a 970 is good enough, yep. It will work fine with the current motherboard and CPU.
What you should be concerned about in such an old PC, is the PSU. You should make sure the power supply supports a 970 (proper wattage and auxiliary connectors). Some 970s can also be quite long and you should make sure they will fit in the case.

If you really have no idea what you're doing (as it appears to be the case from your questions and posting phone pictures instead of proper screenshots), maybe something like a 960 or a 1050ti are a safer (and cheaper) purchase. The 970 will be heavily bottlenecked by that CPU anyways.

Can somebody help a retard to install a .py script for gimp.
1) get file with .py extension.
2) Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Plug-Ins and see the folder/path listed. ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins
3) Copy/Move the .py file from step 1 to one of one of those folders.
4) make file executable
5) Restart GIMP.
6) And now plug-in is active for use.
I have tried everything except for restarting linux. And the only time I had success with installing a gimp plugin was with AUR, but I'm not on arch based distro currently.
Tried to execute them in shell, and got '/usr/bin/env: ‘python3\r’: No such file or directory'
Apparently plugins were edited in winglows and I had to use dos2unix to get them 'working'.
Now they look for gimpfu and still don't work in gimp.

Oh and a thing I wanted to install: https://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=386
This site is impressively bloated for a site about free software.

>>3876
Does your gimp support python plugins to begin with? I think 2.10 is still stuck with python2 and distros are nuking python2 support for some time now. If your plugin needs python3 (based on the error message), I think it also need the development version of gimp, 2.99 or something, with the awful gtk3 interface.

There's a linker flag to ignore duplicate symbols (-Wl,-z,muldefs), and given debian's tendency to patch everything into oblivion, I wouldn't be surprised if they did something stupid again to accept incorrect code. Or maybe just the gcc update breaking things (gcc unfortunately has shittons of extensions and it's easy to accidentally depend on one)
Anyway to fix, put extern in front of the variable declaration in the header (so something like extern void (*debug)(char*, ...)), and in one .c file (probably debug.c), put the definition (just what you have in the header now).

I deleted the post because I got it working immediately after, but immediately ran into a whole host of other issues. Tons of functions not being correctly imported, both the program's own and built-in math ones like log10. The log10 was fixed by moving the -lm flag to a different position in one of the makefiles, but that was the only one it fixed, and if the solutions to the rest of the incorrectly-imported functions are equally inscrutable, then I'm probably fucked.

>>3882
Damn, I was close. I actually got a good chunk of it working and thought it'd be smooth sailing for the rest. The way the code is structured has one makefile calling a couple dozen others for various modules, and I got the first few working by moving  $(LDFLAGS) to the end of the line when the module's makefile calls gcc, and that change in order fixed it. But then I ran into a couple makefiles that set LDFLAGS but don't explicitly use it, and don't have an equivalent line to the ones I changed in the other modules.

I think one of the ram slot in my mobo has some issue. If I stick one stick in that place it would crash my windows and even bootable usb. The error is usually something unrelated like missing critical windows file and shit, but using the other slot would fix it. However putting sticks in both slots and the bios still recognised them all, just that I couldnt boot. Maybe upgrade the mobo bios, but I couldnt find anything like that for my model. What do? Linux doesn't fix anything by the way.

actually im talking about vgpu_unlock it says on reddit that you can split your budget geforce gpu without needing enterprise GRID shit by swapping the IDs theres even a guide on this on levelonetechs
i also nabbed a leaked copy of the grid drivers (for use with linux)
though im not sure if my 1650ti is strong enough for this or if i need RTX card
after a bit more digging around i saw a post of a successful GTX1080 splitting hyper-v
nvidia recently announced that they will officially support traditional pcie passthrough but not sr-iov which is a bit dissapointing since i dont want my cracked games to load malicious Vbios with the jellyfish rootkit on my gpu when i return it to linux

The manjaro developers ((( (((forgot))) ))) to renew their SSL cert 2 years in a row. Either they are incompetent or they don't care (or both). Their official ISOs sometimes won't work.
And the whole design of Manjaro is not sane:
they take packages from Arch and """make sure that they are stable""" (i.e. they don't push the updates to their users). But because Arch is, by design, a bleeding edge distro that frequently has packages that contain bugs. Which is why it is not sane to use Arch as basis for """stable""" distro (which Manjaro claims to be). This is also the reason why you should update Arch at least weekly, if not more frequently.

I also found an interesting article https://itsfoss.com/libreoffice-freeoffice-manjaro-linux/ which proves that the distro itself is cucked:
>In the last week of July, Manjaro Linux suddenly decided to drop the popular open source productivity suite LibreOffice in favor of Softmaker’s FreeOffice.
>FreeOffice is free of cost but not open source. It is the limited version of Softmaker’s premium office suite.
The Manjaro developers formed a company, but I don't know if there is something suspicious about it (https://itsfoss.com/manjaro-linux-business-formation/).

As far as I know, Manjaro comes with an AUR helper. A beginner who doesn't know how to use Linux or bash should not use AUR. Anyone can submit a package to AUR, which means you absolutely have to review the PKGBUILD script (you are giving the author of the package ROOT access to your computer!) And there are much better AUR helpers. Instead, use rua or aurutils:
>https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rua/ (rusted but good)
>https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aurutils/
Finally, ((( (((Manjaro))) ))) doesn't really offer anything new. Noobs should just install some flavor of Ubuntu (But not vanilla Ubuntu because GNOME sucks) or someone should set up Debian stable with unattended upgrades for them. A power user should just install Arch/Artix, Gentoo, Alpine or Void. If you know the basics of sh and GNU+Lunix, you can easily install Arch or Artix, see >>3474

My network connection to my ISP is ipv4 only but can I set up my internal network to use ipv6 (for more potential address space)? If so, could you link me to a beginner's guide?

>>3908
search ipv6 dhcp YOUR_ROUTER_MODEL_AND_VENDOR

>>3908
You can, but there's not much sense, since if you want to use the internet, you'll still need to give your clients IPv4 addresses, so IPv6 would be only usable for local network. And IPv6 is so fucking overcomplicated, it's just not worth it.
If you need more IP, just set up 10.0.0.0/8 as your LAN, that should give you some 16 million IP addresses. (Unless you have to VPN somewhere that uses the same subnet. There's also 172.16.0.0/12 which is probably less often used but still has about a million addresses)

What's a good, lightweight i686 distro that works on older laptops? Last time I tried AntiX but I don't want to support a distro that is run so blatantly-political.

I looked at Artix, but it's Amd64 only. I don't have the patience right now to install gentoo or arch, I just want a simple workstation that I can use and run a few wine programs on it.

>>3911
Gentoo is your only option in the future, no one is building i686 binaries anymore.
But for now https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/18.04/release/

>>3912
Well, gentoo is your option as long as compilers and libraries/programs don't drop support for x86. I think it's already pretty much impossible to get a newer java working on x86 because they dropped x86 support from their JIT.
Also you might want to look into cross compiling/distcc, because building a full gentoo system on an old laptop will take ages (if it will succeed at all, because some programs need ridiculous amounts of ram to compile).

>>3911
>What's a good, lightweight i686 distro that works on older laptops? 
Alpine (download Alpine Standard) or Debian testing (Use netinst .iso and remember to do a "expert installation" and don't select any package sets. Also, disable recommended and suggested packages in apt config)

I was going to install a fresh OS and while Debian has worked well for me so far, I decided to look elsewhere. Partially because a project that has a "diversity team" doesn't exactly evoke confidence in its competence or ethics and partially just for the sake of curiosity.
So I tried Fedora and I was not impressed. The GUI is ugly and phone-like, they call everything an "app" and it comes with nosebook/jewgle/etc sharing bullshit. I thought Fedora was supposed to be more anal about FOSS? I've heard that Microsoft has been pulling some CIA shit on both Debian and Fedora but at least the former never tried to pander to corporate whores when I installed it.

So to any enlightened atheists here: Is it better than it looks?
And how much can I trust any distro to be  free of spyware, sabotage and other corporate kikery these days?

>>3915
>Is Fedora better than it looks?
No.
rpm/dnf is better than apt, but otherwise Debian is better. If you want to be sure that you have 100 % free software, install Gentoo or Guix. Also >>>/tech/2

Go look up non-systemd distros and install one, except Devuan and Artix because removing systemd is not enough to make Debian or Arch not garbage.

>>3911
Install NetBSD or OpenBSD at that point, Linux is too backwards these days to run on 32 bit.

So say, I want to use a program but I want to isolate from my system while it's running or starting up.

I've been looking into chroot, and it had me thinking. What if I could write a script where when I run the script, the process will change users, chroot to that user's home directory, and that user will not even be able to touch anything except what I specifically designate.

The idea is to keep threats on the web from snooping into my other files. What do you guys think of the feasibility of such a thing?

>>3920
Docker, LXC, VM

Install Gentoo.

>>3920
Chroot isn't a security mechanism and the most secure isolation is a separate machine. Otherwise, look into containers and VMs. Docker is a joke.

>>3925
>Docker is a joke.
Why?

>>3925
Chroot is a security mechanism, but it only protects the filesystem and nothing else (in particular, you have to make sure the user inside can't get root and you don't fuck up the /proc mount). Containers are chroots extended to also secure other contexts (isolate IPC, network, pids, user ids, etc). While docker might be overhyped, it provides an easy framework to set up a container with mostly safe defaults.
VM is better, because with containers, an attacker only has to find a bug in the kernel to get out, with VM (provided you don't run the shit as root inside) the attacker has to find a bug in the kernel, the hypervisor, and if you're running the VM as a separate limited user on a different kernel, also in that kernel.
Getting a completely separate machine is only worth it if you're making it completely airgapped, and possibly on a non-nigger platform (no intel, amd bullshit, but on some as deniggered as possible open hw).

>>3927
A niggered separate machine works if it is disconnected with no radio capability, ideally in a faraday cage. And only transfer data in a single direction.

>>3927
Alright. Here's a few other questions.

1. Jails like firejail, and flashpeak are functionally containers similar to docker, right? If not, what's the difference?

2. Last time I tried VMs through qemu, I got my gpu passed through to a Win-7 machine along with a KVM switch. My problem was, loading vidya was slow, and USB controllers just DIDN'T fucking pass through no matter what I tried. 

3. What's your opinion on Xen and VMWare as hypervisors?

>>3928
Neat idea, but not feasible for my setup right now.

>>3929
elaboration to question 2: I'm aware that passing through a whole partition to a VM would make things faster, but I'd have to look more up on how exactly to do that.

Are there tools in existence that can detect jpeg images saved as other formats?

>>3931
>what is a search engine
>>3929
>1
They are all a bit different, you need to read and search a bit to know. Not sure about flashpeak, firejail uses namespace and Docker uses namespace and cgroups. In terms of isolation, they are similar, you should try them out and see which works best.
>2
>loading vidya was slow
Either: your computer is too slow, or you didn't enable all possible accelerations
>USB controllers just DIDN'T fucking pass
What did you do to pass it? Did you do what https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/QEMU#Pass-through_host_USB_device said?
>3
They are type 1 hypervisors, are you only going to run many VM?
>VMWare
non-free shit

>>3929
>firejail, docker
They use the same underlying technology (namespaces, cgroups, seccomp), so yeah they're similar, their use-case is different though. Docker is designed to download and execute a full linux system inside a container with zero configuration, while nsjail only really concerns itself with the sandboxing part. Nsjail is a bit more bare-bones, especially if you want a seccomp sandbox too, but it allows you to just run a normally installed program by for example giving access to /usr, /lib, etc. but nothing in your home. Of course, this means a bit worse isolation, but on the other hand you don't have to download 19373 different linux installations.
>win7, usb passthrough
Did you perhaps try to pass through USB3? I had problems with that (even passing through an USB2 device to an emulated USB2 port, if the computer had an USB3 port, it fucked itself up).
I'm not sure what's the status now, I stopped using win7 because it has no UEFI support and fighting with vgaarb is a fucking nightmare. At worst, get a PCI usb card, and pass through the whole PCI device.
>xen
Never tried
>vmware
Used before virtualbox got normal snapshot support. It works, especially if you try to emulate some proprietary wangblows/mac shit and you want normal GPU performance without passthrough, but even in that case I'd more likely recommend virtualbox these days, if qemu is somewhy not ok.
But please note that KVM and virtualbox (and I think vmware too) are incompatible, which means if you run a VM in qemu, you can't start one in virtualbox.

>>3932
>>3933
>Did you perhaps try to pass through USB3? I had problems with that (even passing through an USB2 device to an emulated USB2 port, if the computer had an USB3 port, it fucked itself up).
Oh fuck, that might've been the problem. my case has a few fucked-up USB ports and the most-usable ones were USB3, so that might've been the problem.
>They are type 1 hypervisors, are you only going to run many VM?
I plan to run at most, probably 2 or three Containers/VMs at once.

 I also have been unironically installing Gentoo in a VM to try it out. I've been getting the itch to switch, but I want to make sure I can get particular shit running with it. As such, I have one more question to go with this:

What are some ight-as-fuck WMs that has the ability to switch screen workspaces like most DEs? If I'm gonna go back to VMs, I might as well have something I can switch on a whim, and keep a full-enough screen.

>>3934
>ight as fuck
That's what I get for not proofreading. I meant 'light as fuck'.

>>3934
You are asking for a VM viewer to do the job of a DE/WM. Customize your DE to switch between programs easily or use a WM with such function (eg: i3, dwm)
>at most 2-3 Containers/VMs
qemu + kvm is enough

A couple weeks ago I created a free account on Freedom Hosting Reloaded. I'm trying to create a shared folder accessible via browser, but if you navigate to myaddress.onion/www/foo it responds with a 403 Forbidden error, even though the folder and file permissions are 755
What do?

>>3964 
By "shared" I don't mean visitors would have write privledges, just access, but that's already implied by the 755 permission.
Also, the path is 'address.onion/foo' not 'address.onion/www/foo' not that it probably matters.

>>3964
Check the permissions on the parent folders too, if the http server doesn't have at least execute access to them, it won't be able to read anything inside them.

>>3966
I set 777 on everything and it's still not working. If someone wants to create an account and test it, here's the address:

>>3966 
I just had to create a index.html with a tree listing.
However the configure their server disallows displaying a folder without an index.html or .php

>>3968
Can't you upload a .htaccess? Some hosts allow it. If not, you'll have to either generate the index files somehow or find some php script to do the listing.
Also, don't set your folders to 777, in that case anyone on that server can edit anything in your folders.

>>3969 
I can upload any kind of file, but I haven't tested .htaccess to see if it works. This account is mainly just for experimentation, but I'm probably not going to bother with too complex a set up. If you try testing it, let us know how it works, though and thanks for your advice.

The more Scheme implementations I try the more I'm convinced they all suck. And the language's limitations create this awful vendor lock-in situation where you have to use your implementation's extensions which slows down the process of trying out all the implementations to find out which don't suck because you have to relearn stuff every time and nobody wants to do that.
It also splits the community heavily.

That's the problem with Schemes, yes. There's a huge standard that then gets partially implemented in a bunch of dialects, as opposed to Common Lisp. Use that perhaps?

>I just wanted a good higher level language to accompany my C.
Good for what? Almost all script languages have decent C FFI. Python, Lua, Tcl. There are even compiled languages that have good C integration like Nim.

Where can I find a template or guide to Qemu VM scripts? I heard that libvirt and programs associated with it are needlessly bloated, so I'd rather have a reference to do my own scripts rather than something that could cause problems on my system.

>>3977
>Almost all script languages have decent C FFI. Python, Lua, Tcl

I want to make good software, not shit on the street. 
The LISP dialects and particularly Scheme which is the one I've tried have the best syntax I've ever seen and the functional programming paradigm as well as the fact that the Scheme standard has a phrase that proves its designers actually tried to make a good language baked into it interested me.
 
Quote from R7RS:
>Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary.
This is the exact opposite of nu-languages. This phrase alone proves the designers of Scheme are among the few language designers who actually know what makes a good programming language, it's not that what the phrase describes is the only thing that matters, but the phrase shows they have the right mindset.

The implementations on the other hand are completely rotten.

I think I'll just forget high level languages for now and stick to C and until R7RS-large comes out and hope it has more or less the same functionality as POSIX, maybe by then I'll know compilers and interpreters.

>>3984
This may sound very stupid, but what about making a language you want on top of C? Does that fix your high level language problem without having to write your own asm compiler? You can even implement LISP on C.

>>3985
I don't think I can create a better language than Scheme and I don't know enough to implement a transpiler, nor do I want to implement one. At most I'd compile to a backend like QBE.

>guide to Qemu VM scripts?
You want to create a correct (i.e. one that works) command-line to run the VM and just paste it in a .sh file. Try finding an existing script and adapt it to your needs. Also, Archwiki, Gentoo wiki and Qemu docs have some tips:
> https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/Options

Example:
language: bash
# Get the installation .iso file
aria2c 'https://archive.org/download/TempleOS_ISO_Archive/TempleOSCDV5.03.ISO'

# Create a virtual HDD:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 TOS_disk.qcow2 3G

# Run the VM and install TOS
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda TOS_disk.qcow2 -machine kernel_irqchip=off -smp cores=2 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 2048M -rtc base=localtime -soundhw pcspk -cdrom TempleOSCDV5.03.ISO -boot d

# Run the VM
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda TOS_disk.qcow2 -machine kernel_irqchip=off -smp cores=2 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 4096M -rtc base=localtime -soundhw pcspk -boot c

>>3993
this.

>>3994
Just tested the example Qemu script. It seems you have to remove -machine kernel_irqchip=off to get it working (you don't need the setting anyway).

>>3984
>The implementations on the other hand are completely rotten.
The implementations are rotten because the language is minimal to the point of uselessness. Just learn Common Lisp.

i just prepared my other hard drive which OS should i deploy to it

windows 10 21h1 (is 21h2 better or worse)
or windows 2016 (is 2019 faster for VMs)
which version of windows is best for hyper-v and GPU-P (not DDA)
im reluctant to try out linux because of the CoC bullshit but they said sr-iov is faster

is it possible to use both vmware and hyper-v at the same time it says here that vmware has a special mode for this would be nice if i could run vbox as well (on eightforums some guy managed to run both)

>>4031

If you're that worried about it, use something like OpenBSD. That is, if you don't mind zero hardware and software support. Otherwise you're still 1000x better with linux that wangblows, just avoid distros like jewbuntu or manjaro.

>CoC
Still waiting to see examples of how CoC has a direct negative impact upon code. INB4, unqualified diversity hires. I get that, but what I'm talking about is a situation where a driver or something would not be allowed to function properly because CoC said that mean words are bad or whatever. Seriously, any examples of this?
Also, why not weaponize code of conduct in our interests? Take Firefox as an example and how it can be argued that it has become a woke botnet. Why not bombard Mozilla foundation with sentiment like the following?
>I am an oppressed Uyghur behind the great firewall of China and the fact that Mozilla's Firefox utilizes Google and leaks metadata puts my life at risk.
>I am a gay rights activist in Iran and the metadata leaking from Mozilla's Firefox puts my life at risk.
>I am a transexual latinx fighting for social and economic equality in my South American shithole and the integrated advertising in Firefox allows for a personality profile to be kept on me in insecure databases that could fall into the wrong hands.
Sane people could hijack the discourse and repurpose it or, at the least, have fun shitposting and potentially watch Mozilla squirm trying to address a potential PR problem.

>>4043
you go first, open some issues on GitHub and let us know how it goes

>>4043
Obviously the CoC doesn't immediately shit up the code, it's the indirect effects that are the problem. CoCs are an entry vector for useless parasites who push out competent contributors because they didn't suck tranny cock fervently enough and tie up the already scarce resources in pointless wokefaggotry like outreach programs.
>Also, why not weaponize code of conduct in our interests?
Because the rules are a misdirection. CoCs are deliberately vague so that everything you try can be deflected whereas everything they want can be justified under it.

>>4043
Do you mean direct negative impacts? There are probably none. CoCks mean more mouthbreathing HR retard types can crawl into open source repositories and shit them up like they have been doing to corporations. Unfortunately, unlike globocorpo, not only do regular devs not have the money and resources to tard wrangle these people, they are also pathologically altruistic nerds and receptive to the poz to begin with. Not all of them, mind you. Just look at the seething sqlite has produced by adopting a very simple CoC-like that boils down to "be nice". It was simple, inoffensive and straight to the point; meaning no liability can worm its way in under the guise of enforcing it.

>Also, why not weaponize code of conduct in our interests?
Terms of conduct only apply to contributors. This is why the ogre tranny Corey Ehmke also calls it the "contributor's covenant". Good for driving productive people out, giving yourself a nice slice of money/clout for doing nothing of value and not much else.

>This post is and it's contents have been written under a copyleft +NIGGER license.
The only good idea. GPL forbids additional freedom limit clauses, but MIT & BSD will do just fine.

>>4043
>how CoC has a direct negative impact upon code.
- CoCk can be used to bully and harass developers. Want to get "#metoo'd"?? Want to get censored for nothing??
- CoCk endangers the freedoms of contributors and possibly the users as well.
- CoCk is simply just BS. CoCks add no value whatsoever. People behave like adults without a CoCk.
- CoCks are added by complete outsiders (to the project).

Is there a way to get rid of the gay integrated search engine shit in Firefox? Maybe an older version of Firefox that doesn't have it? I've tried using ungoogled Chromium as an alternative to Firefox but adblocking is broken and I get weird performance like these anons >>3729 >>3730

>>3937
I dunno. Maybe Java is fugged? Try to uninstall and reinstall it. I don't know if it makes a difference but you can try something like BCUninstaller to remove registry entries and extra shit left behind. Just make sure to double check what the program wants to delete after the initial uninstall.
There are minecraft files in one of the user appdata folders (local, roaming, etc. Can't remember which one). You can try to delete those if uninstalling leaves them behind still. Just make sure to back up saves, screenshots, etc. if whoever was playing it actively played it before it started shitting the bed
You could also try installing Mineshafter and see if that works. You could at least see if the problem with the legit launcher.

>>4068
>Is there a way to get rid of the gay integrated search engine shit in Firefox?
Not sure what you're talking about, but try Librewolf.

>>4068
Preferences, search in search bar, remove search bar from interface.

>>4069
>Not sure what you're talking about
If you enter something into the address bar that isn't a url, it will automatically search using a search engine. You can remove the add-ons that come with Firefox that allow it to search with different search engines EXCEPT one because reasons. So this feature is always there and working as intended.
>try Librewolf
It doesn't seem to solve the problem but I'll keep giving it a spin anyhow. Thanks anon.
>>4070
Thanks, but I tried that. The address bar still functions as a search bar either way unfortunately.

>>4071
Tried this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1292155 ?
I was going to ask you to look this up, but you are trying to remove search... idk what to say

>>4071
Then I don't understand why did you try chromium, unless you enter a completely valid url, it will search for it. Firefox at least doesn't search for things that almost looks like an url, but you mistyped one character in it.
Anyway, in mememoon, and maybe in firefox, unless they decided to remote it because you know that's not how gulag's chrome works, about:config -> keyword.enabled and double-click to set it to false. It'll just paste .com to the end of whatever you enter, so I'm not sure whether it's an improvement or not.

>>4072
In old firefox versions (and maybe even mozilla, I don't remember anymore) you had a separate url bar and a search bar, and in the url bar you could only enter an url, you couldn't use it for searching. Sometimes later they decided to allow searching from the url bar too, and even later they removed the (now) unnecessary search bar. If you ask me, a single bar is much more productive (less inputs and 99% of time it does the right thing and when not you can just prefix it with ? to have it search), but apparently some users prefer the old behavior.
Either that, or we have a weird anon who never wants to search for anything on the internet at all.

>>4071
Arkenfox's user.js for Firefox has that disabled by default. The value is called "keyword.enabled", so search it up in about:config and disable it.

Why do almost all apps nowadays store their settings in the dconf file instead of inside .config? It's like I'm back on Windows with the massive registry.

>>4079
Because you use too much gtk3/gnome3 garbage.

while chinese companies tend to have rather similar tactics when it comes to money one thing for sure is that they morally oppose lgbt even if means most of their consumers will hate them for it so they decided to steer clear from woke politics just to be on the safe side
in other words they are the lesser of all evils (MSI is known to censor critisism on their gaming laptops and gigabyte is has crappy motherboards and timebomb PSU)
TL;DR if a company is woke and supports lgbt chances are they are deeply corrupt inside and done lots of unethical practices (take a look at pfizer and merck)

>>4105
I have always thought the main reason some people evolved to like animals is because before abrahamic religions if you were attracted to some animal or a monster and draw art based on animal/human relations you were seen as a great artist because animals were seen as gods. This didn't stop with abrahamic religions tho, it just slowed down. Greatest example of this is probably black bull raping Europa which if you asked the artists depicts Turks killing europeans but Turks are correlated with wolfs, not bulls, expecially not black bulls. I am pretty sure people that drew these fucked a lot and had kids thanks to the fame it gave them. This is just the art side, if you talked about fucking a wolf in a pagan religion you would be seen as godlike, if you deleted fucking animals and monsters from myth all the legends would be gone. Just imagine how much pussy these deranged schizos fucked thanks to their monstergirl fetish.

well i guess you are right there is no cure for this but hopefully atleast we can limit their power so they dont make to to presidential postions
look i know this is complicated but the only reason i hate furries in person because they see hummanity as inferior shit species the moment you pick human character on thier RP session you are guaranteed to get yourself banned in no time
furries are known to secretly hate humans the same way LGBTwitter is heterophobic its like an itch to them similarly to how jews are loxist towards whites
if they want to film themselves fucking non consenting animals or other sick fucks they should atleast have the decency to keep the footage to themselves
for some reason i have the urge to collect thier art samples and put it in a VM for scientific research purposes even though im a furry hater (and no before you ask i fap to generic pornhub shit)

well to be fair pretty much all alternatives are pozzed beyond repair also windows has better memory management and kernel compared to linux
basically i want the least broken OS even if it means i have to embrace the CoC (since my lenovo bios is probably coded by trannies anyway)
(back then when i was using ubuntu my system crashed a lot on win7 stability wasn't an issue)
if linux were to one day break itself i will have no idea how to track down and fix the error windows just seems more stable at this point also the community is rather chill meanwhile ubuntu is full of elitist deviantart users who rice furry themes on their system

>>4047 >>4046 >>4045
a little offtopic but im gonna play the devils advocate for a bit hopefully thats not a bannable offense
if i were to make my own project and add my own CoC but this time i were to put

what will happen? will the trannies still somehow make their way in

>>4042
xbox pride is one thing but holy shit i didnt realize it was THAT bad they even had edge themes for that shit (i had to check from my vm so i don't accidentally install aids)

>get out
i just wanted to to try it out one last time since my install is a bit borked im setting up a gaming laptop and some of the drivers aren't gonna work on linux and by prepare i didnt really wipe my drive i just copied my config since and moved all user data to C:/ since i don't wanna deal with duplicate files
>dolby surround dosen't support linux
>you cant get a vantage like control panel on linux
>you can't run vbox vmware and kvm in tandem on linux
TL;DR i wanna use my pc as intended unless i somehow become an expert on non systemD distros

on a serious note which windows OS do i use is server pozzed as well? personally the only reason i use linux is solely becuase of GPU passthorugh but windows now supports it as well so i no longer need different filesystems on my backup drive
sorry for the veery late reply i was gone that that time with my other PC on didnt expect so many replies

is 21h2 better than 21h1 (on the ISO) (is 21h2 too new and unstable) i am unsure on which iso to pick (some apps debrilately refuse to run on windows server unless you pay for license)
will my chances of sucessfull passthrough be higher if i install server 2019 instead of 21h2? (2016 only supports DDA not GPU-P)
anyways which edition should i choose to maximize all features [home or pro or workstation or enterprise edition] i can't pick

if i install win10 pro trial/evaluation key and install the home OEM key that i originally have will the pro features re-lock themselves?
(installing hyper-v on home borks my system) i don't wanna deal with cracks and KMS tools which beats the purpose of VMs in the first place
also i heard that pro users get stable updates while the home users test unstable tranny coded shit
what the hell does N mean on the windows edition is it different?
gonna ask this in advance but is there a way to backup the windows.old folder without errors (or create diskimage but exclude the user data folders)
or better yet is there a way to extract the UWP APPX files and programs inside the usmt.ppkg and install them manually one by one

>>4105
Format your post better if you want a chance a bored anon even skim through your wall of shit.
>artix can't do VIFO
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GPU_passthrough_with_libvirt_qemu_kvm#VFIO
If gentoo can do it, artix can do it. You don't even need libvirt if you launch the vm via qemu directly.
What was the error message?

What are some good torrent sites?

guys i think i fucked up big time how do i fix this i dont want to put my cheap celeron to waste

i didnt realize i could screw up my bios so badly just by running stuff as root
i thought a single reset can fix it fine boy is sure am dead wrong
how the fuck do i reset efivars without screwing my system
it says there that sometimes its better to leave SGX off if unused

>>4087
any luck? i need to unlock the bios since it refuses to boot from sdcard

unrelated but on my legion after i used the unlocker tool on win raid my bios is still unlocked even after i flashed new firmware for some reason (its supposed to revert itself to default)

>>4117
Try looking for manuals for motherboard/laptop to reset bios. Otherwise, install stock bios again with whatever method recommended. If they need windows, try installing Windows on a separated drive and transfer it there.

>>4120
the laptop has a generic chinglish instructions manual no drivers software support website
searching for [zscmall bios update] yields no useful results whatsoever nada just unrelated things

well im fucked am i? any way to extract the bios or some shit? maybe someone can patch it for me
maybe there is a tool for linux to extract the UEFI from the chip and patch/flash it again? sorry for the late reply

>>4110
>whats the error message
back then when i used to do this on windows 7 i get permission related errors winrar due to the file structure
in the end i made a ADI backup of my C drive (D and E are excluded)

i formatted my other flash drive to deploy windows installer
all of my files have been backed up and the original copies have been moved to C:/mystuff to prevent the installer from touching it since i will use the windows.old method

>inb4 stick to arch
look i wanna give win10 one more try since my OS is damaged (i hope its not hardware related)
if that fails im gonna make diskimage and install ubuntu (since artix is too hard and lacking support despite the tranny BS)

anyways what should i pick on tbrgadguard (i havent downloaded the ISOs yet)
win10 21h1 or 21h2 (is 21h2 too early/unstable/broken?)
server 2016 or 2019 (goddamit i should have never mentioned the CoC bullshit on my other post)

>>4127
Can you take out the CMOS battery? Sometimes, taking out the battery will reset the UEFI settings (mostly on very early laptops with UEFI support)

>look i wanna give win10 one more try
>since artix is too hard
Dual-boot.
Even Terry thought that dual-booting is a good idea: "I would prefer one machine that dual booted your primary-networked operating system and had a partition for a native boot of TempleOS. If it is two machines, I have a bad feeling."
Also, Artix is actually easy: >>>/tech/4081 >>>/tech/4129 and vanilla Ubuntu sucks (at least install Debian and upgrade to testing release) You can ask advice ITT or on the distro thread.

>and lacking support
What?
