My laptop occasionally have a video card failure BSOD, and I assume it is because the video card is taking in a load of energy, and my house's electric grid is fucked, so it cannot supply enough energy and the video card dies for a second. This usually happens during lighting storms when the lights are (slightly) blinking.

Would buying a nobreak fix the issue? I am researching nobreaks, but there are so many different types and those things are actually expensive.

TLDR: Can a faulty electric grid cause BSOD? Would a nobreak stop the BSOD?

Programming question:
Is there a way to find all the memory you've malloc'd in a program? Without storing that information manually.

I'm trying to create useful tools to debug memory, and it would be very helpful if I could loop through all the mallocs I've made. But there's all kinds of complications with storing a list of them myself (e.g. a memory corruption bug may corrupt the list itself).

>>1202

>>1204
I think Valgrind can print a list of the mallocs it intercepted with symbol names.

Is compression pointless?

How can I best write a wget command to download one zzzchan thread with its media, and nothing else?
This is what I have currently:
`
wget -P somefolder -N -nd -k -r -l 1 -E https://zzzchan.xyz/v/thread/39204.html
`
It only downloads thumbnails, but also downloads the html pages of the index,catalog,captcha...etc which I don't want, and I can't reject html files because then wget doesn't download anything.

>>1219
Short answer: depends on the data. If there's isn't redundancy or repeated patterns then the data simply cannot be compressed.

>>1220
Ok so triple backticks no longer work... Here's the command again:
wget -P somefolder -N -nd -k -r -l 1 -E https://zzzchan.xyz/v/thread/39204.html

>>1220
>Short answer: depends on the data. If there's isn't redundancy or repeated patterns then the data simply cannot be compressed.
Is there a knowable list of media types and how compressible they generally are or is it just random? Like are images worth compressing into archives but webms less so, or vice versa?

>>1220
>How can I best write a wget command to download one zzzchan thread with its media, and nothing else?
Have you tried https://gitgud.io/Codexx/channel_changer
I don't know if you can specify just the media rather than also the content of the threads too though.

>>1222
It's not like that... Most formats are already compressed by nature, including videos and images. Generally speaking nobody distributes raw uncompressed media, so there's no point in attempting to compress the media you have (i.e. jpegs and webms).
What you could compress is plain text / source code / webpages, "project" files of most programs, fonts, 3D models, some programs/binaries, and a few games.

>>1223
It seems to only scrape entire boards, or maybe I'm just retarded. I'll open an issue and report back.

So why are many movie torrents contained in 7zip archives?

>>1226
They're not though... I dunno what torrents you're downloading but they either achieve poor compression with the 7zip archive almost equaling the video file in size, or the video format had poor compression to begin with that 7zip compression is necessary.

Do any anons know of any headphones like Apple earpods (not airpods)? I got a pair from someone for free and they were great. They sound fine and even though they are hard plastic, they are incredibly comfortable because of how they sit in your ear, to the point where I forget I have them on. The issue is that they eventually broke, like every wired component Apple makes. I even bought a fake pair from a store near me just to hold me over and they were just as good, but I've given up on those because they always end up breaking somehow.
I'm not sure what that form factor is called, but I've tried other headphones of that sitting in the ear type in the past. They've never been as comfortable (to the point of pain) and/or they have shit audio quality. I'm not really an audiophile so I was looking at IEMs through several guides but they look like earbuds and I've had trouble with those in the past in regards to comfort as well.

they function as batteries and surge protectors. if your power is blinking out for a few seconds then a UPS will keep everything running as if nothing happened. I have one for my home server and there have been more than a few occasions where the power cut out for a few seconds but it kept it running without a hitch. the UPS for my server is at least 20 years old, you can just replace the battery every few years when it stops holding a charge. however after enough time the lead acid battery explodes and could damage the unit itself, so you'd have to buy a whole new one if that happens. it's unlikely to cause that much damage though.

Tor sporadically connects directly to the guard and other IP address xometimes through a different port (same for both but not 9150), is this normal or should I set my pc on fire?

Other than being more of a pain, is there any downside to loading functions at runtime from a dynamic library with dlopen/LoadLibrary, compared to statically linking the library?

For example maybe there's some runtime cost (not counting the initial loading of the functions) to calling function pointers like that? Or maybe they're identical and only differ in the fact that one is more manual. I can't really find any meaningful explanation to what the difference is beneath the surface.

>>1244
By statically linking, do you mean static libraries, or using normal shared objects but just linking it with -lfoo so you don't have to manually dlopen them?
Because if you have normal static libraries, nothing will beat them. Especially with LTO, when the compiler can just inline functions into your code from the library.
For shared objects, though, loading them with dlsym and storing the pointer is usually faster than letting the linker do it (in case of shared objects, the compiler/linker usually creates a stub, and normal code calls the stub, and the stub calls the actual function in the shared object)
See here for more details: https://nullprogram.com/blog/2018/05/27/
But on the other hand, as soon as your function does anything non trivial, it doesn't matter much

>>1246
>By statically linking, do you mean ... using normal shared objects but just linking it with -lfoo so you don't have to manually dlopen them
That's what I meant.

>For shared objects, though, loading them with dlsym and storing the pointer is usually faster than letting the linker do it
I'm pretty surprised to hear this. I prefer this method because it helps avoiding bloated as fuck headers that slow down compile times, you have more control regarding error handling in case the library is missing or something inside it is missing, and it increases consistency in case modifications in the dynamic libraries are expected. But if it's also faster to call functions that way, then I'm seeing nothing but downsides to using the "normal" method.

>>1237

(like https://www[DOT]apc[DOT]com/shop/us/en/products/APC-Essential-SurgeArrest-6-Outlet-with-Ethernet-Protection-120V/P-P6N) But keep in mind that if the power goes down, the thunderbolt protection thingies don't help; you need a UPS for that → >>1240

Linkers And Loaders book: https://www.iecc.com/linker/


tl;dr
As far as I understand, dynamic linking allows you to "Extend" programs using dlopen (heh), save disk space/memory and just update the library without recompiling (which doesn't always work)...
...But on the other hand, dynamic linking causes more runtime overhead,  especially if using (((lazy binding)))  and dynamic linking can be a security hazard (but then again you could argue that static linking is also a security hazard...) , if you load a library that glows in dark.

>>1248
If you use a luminescent library then you're fucked no matter what.

True, but if the binary is statically linked, bill gates can't trick you into loading illuminati code by getting you to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or can he?)

I've never seen numbers from the current century for this claim, all I ever see is the stuff about X11 libraries, which is a problem with X11 being terribly designed. I wonder if this is just one of these things that get constantly repeated until everybody believes they're true because "obviously" they're "well-known".

>>1253
Just look at go, where they don't have dynamic linking and a fucking hello world program is 50 MB because they static link the whole world into it.

do you think data center HDD's would have that technology if it were prone to failure?

This may be a retarded question, but are there any good laptops for gaming?

>>1262
If you watch videos that compare gaming laptops with their desktop alternatives it should shed a light on why laptop GPU's are such a meme. I believe a laptop RTX 3080 for example performs at the level of a 2070 desktop GPU, and within those laptops there are a lot of SKU variance depending on the cooling solution being used, meaning one GPU can potentially perform 50% faster in another laptop despite being the same silicon.

You're essentially paying a premium for a GPU that will perform at a fraction of the FPS of its desktop equivalent. And it's also now locked into that package so if any other component breaks your expensive laptop gaming GPU can potentially become worthless because the motherboard shit the bed or something.

Gaming laptops are a lot better than they were 10 years ago, but generally speaking it's almost always more advisable to avoid them. But that will depend entirely on your lifestyle and use case. There could be a certain scenario where it's simply the best option available to you even if it's a shit option.

Is HOIC still a practical DDoS tool today? I know you would still need a few hundred people using it simultaneously for it to be effective, but have Cuckflare and other anti-DDoS services circumvented its attack methods? Or is, by nature, impossible to block 100%?

>>1264
Services like cloudflare (when configured and used properly) can absorb more DDoS than the largest known botnets are capable of, large attacks will only cause temporary outages as their infrastructure starts mitigating the flood. Many hosting providers also have their own layers of DDoS protection on top of this. Tools like HOIC are basically useless these days, and DDoS by botnet is usually targeting unprotected/improperly configured targets. They also tend to be going after lower level infrastructure, which can cause much larger issues but also affect sites they arent targeting specifically.

Is there ever a reason to buy a dedicated external hard drive instead of just buying HDD's and using SATA to USB adapters?

No. I also just use a SATA to USB adapter.

I did some research and for whatever reason external HDD's are pretty consistently cheaper than internal ones so it kind of flipped the thought process on its head.

I don't know the ins-and-outs of the entire thing, but it's more reliable to split a single large file into several smaller parts and distribute it.

my main 8TB HDD was an external that I just ripped out of the enclosure. Voided the warranty, obviously, but it was about $30 cheaper than just buying an internal one even though they're both the fucking same. If it breaks, the last thing you'd care about is the warranty anyways, since you just want your data back which they are not going to cover. Always keep your shit backed up across 3+ different drives.

Is the entire fucking universe built on Windows? Every single one of my IT courses has been Windows-focused and only mentions Linux in passing and rarely (if ever) explores it any deeper. I don't give a fuck about Windows Update or group policy or domain controllers or whatever the fuck they use, I want to learn more about bash and the kernel and how Linux is by design immune to 90% of security bullshit. The only time we actually went over Linux was in my eCommerce course, and after two weeks the professor backed out because the entire rest of the class couldn't figure out how to set up an Ubuntu live USB or install Apache.

>I don't give a fuck about Windows Update or group policy or domain controllers or whatever the fuck they use, I want to learn more about bash and the kernel
Then you learn about iptables, unix permissions and unix utilities. They still achieve the same things as their counterparts on Windows do.
>and how Linux is by design immune to 90% of security bullshit.
Linux isn't immune to anything. You don't just install Linux and are safe. Of course it isn't targeted as much by malware because Windows is used more, but it's really common on servers and they get hacked all the time. In the end it comes down to configuration and using your brain. Both operating systems can be very secure if configured the right way and very insecure if they aren't.
Of course they are different from each in many ways but they are nowhere near as different as you're trying to imply. Your way of thinking is a sign of inexperience more than anything. Unix isn't some axiom of computing that teaches you everything and Windows isn't some kind of alien technology.

But to answer your question, you could just try but you'd risk damaging your HDD even more. If it is a HDD failure and not some filesystem shit like in my case. I once managed to back up an entire 1TB USB drive when it was dying. If you can image the drive with dd or something like that it will be bootable. If you copy all the files on Linux it probably will fuck the windows ACLs. I almost tried that but had little hope rsync would actually preserve these.

Does the resource overhead of a GUI on a server compared to a CLI-only one really impact performance? Is it really worth memorizing a billion commands just to save a few megs of RAM?

>>1401
Yes. GUI increases possible attack surface, takes up resources and maybe bad for automation if some config is done via the GUI. There are also search engines, so remembering stuff isn't that important.

I want to play a Win10 game on my Win7 computer. I could nuke my second drive and multiboot, but I would prefer to run it in a VM with GPU passthrough. Problem is, KVM is exclusive to Linux because of kernal integration (Google did port it to Windows without integration, but it's apparently tailored for the Android SDK emulator), and I can't use HAXM because I'm on AMD hardware. Is there some way for me to do this stupid thing with what I currently have?

Don't worry about machine details, these are the last step of optimization, and you're worrying about it before even having a program.
In practice, chances are your compiler will figure out the range the array index goes through and pick the fastest type that fits the bill behind your back. To help it do its job in this regard, remember to properly declare functions and file scope variables static. This helps the compiler with proving ranges.
There is also another important mantra to go by, "never trade clarity for performance". It's even possible that reducing the clarity of your program will make you unable to reason about it at a higher level and keep you from making decisions that actually improve performance like picking the proper algorithm.

Use either int or size_t depending on the situation. For instance, poll() returns an int count of file descriptors, so just go with int in your iterator.
If you're going to iterate over something with so much state you'd never be able to store more than INT_MAX instances of it, go for int, this is part of why file descriptors are int.
When you're iterating over a buffer of some sort, always go for size_t. 
When in doubt, stick to size_t. You can't go wrong with size_t iterators.

Things like that are universal whether it's Windows or Linux. How did you install youtube-dl? To be available as soon as you launch cmd from prompt, it needs to be located inside a specified path. "Windows path environment variable" search query will give you more information. I'm assuming yours isn't there and is just stored somewhere as a portable version. To launch it, just navigate there with the command prompt and do what you've been told already.

>>1545
Depends on your configuration and level of customization.
Research known problems for software you use on the upgraded system.
Either do that or learn about your system to gain enough knowledge to solve problems after upgrade.
Upgrading is usually safe.
Downside of not is either security, bugs, features or future dependencies. Not a good idea to go with. If you want to install something later on, it will depend on newer software which all your software may depend on and cause a great headache. You better do it when you are not in a rush (now, given you have taken the time to make a post), rather than when you really have to.

Hello tech. I'm a humongous retard who still uses wangblows 10, and today it feels twice as slow as yesterday along with what I assume is the stock fan revving on and off in rapid cycles. To remedy the latter issue, I went into the BIOS and told the fans to run at full power constantly, which seems to be working in an okay fashion; the fan still cycles, but not nearly as often as it was. But, computer still feels extremely slow for whatever reason. (I had no such problems with the stock fan yesterday either, and computer had all dust cleaned out of it probably about 2 weeks ago.) 
Is there a solution? Do I need to finally make the leap, nuke wangblows, and work on learning a linux distro? What would you do?

>>1589
Upgrade to Windows 7.

>>1590
Never even crossed my mind to do that. I'll have to look into it, thank you, it probably would be a vast improvement over this garbage OS. Looks like the stock fan has at least quieted down now, at least I haven't heard it rev on and then off again for some time now. Computer doesn't feel as slow as it did earlier, maybe I just downloaded a rootkit somehow and it's all done installing or something.

>>1589
Install Gentoo

>>1589
> Do I need to finally make the leap, nuke wangblows, and work on learning a linux distro? What would you do?
You could try if the fans work properly when you boot a Linux LiveCD (which can be a USB flash drive) This way you can verify whether it is a software problem or hardware problem (aka broken fan). A LiveCD (or LiveUSB) can be used to boot the system without installing Linux to your HDD/SSD. If Linux didn't work properly either, then you should probably try to update the BIOS or replace the fan.

1. Download for example this distro: https://xubuntu.org/
2. Then use Rufus (https://rufus.ie) to create a LiveUSB.  Note that Rufus nukes the USB flash drive before it writes the distro .iso file on it.
3. Plug in the flash drive and reboot your PC
4. Press the relevant key to access the boot menu or BIOS settings and select your flash drive as the boot device.

If you don't like XFCE (the desktop environment that Xubuntu uses), you could try Kubuntu (which uses KDE instead of XFCE)
Screenshots (you can also find videos on YouTube):
> Xubuntu: https://xubuntu.org/screenshots/
> Kubuntu: https://kubuntu.org/feature-tour/
(I couldn't find screenshots page for Kubuntu. The KDE project website has screenshots, though: https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/ and https://kde.org/screenshots/)

>>1591
> Computer doesn't feel as slow as it did earlier,
I wonder if it could be because the BIOS or OS throttles the CPU down because of the temps (caused by the fans that don't work correctly)

> maybe I just downloaded a rootkit somehow and it's all done installing or something.

Ah, thank you. Fans have quieted down again now, thankfully, but I'm definitely saving this post for when I'm ready to switch over to Linux finally. My computer was uhhh running slow because I put it into power saver mode based on some retard advice on google for dealing with the fans. After I switched it back to normal it's running as good as it had been. They're weird, because they do their cycling for a short duration and then they become quiet again for a while, then cycle again for a short duration and so on. 
I'll have to look into switching to xubuntu this weekend, with some freed up time.

>>1603
You're probably better off experimenting with distributions and desktop environments in virtual machines before installing linux on bare metal.

What is a good way to archive a lot of data (tens of terabytes) relatively cheaply? You can get tape cartridges cheaply, but drives are fucking expensive. DVDs are small as shit and only last a few years, I don't think blueray is much better either and still pretty small. So anything else, except buying shitloads of overpriced HDDs?

>>1623
External HDDs are usually cheaper than internal ones but are the same design. You can just smash open the plastic casing and take the drive out. Some of them do have proprietary connectors though, I think WD does that but not Seagate.

>>1623
You can't beat tapes in terms of storage per dollar. Try looking for a used drive on ebay or chinkland. At tens of terabytes level, storage per dollar is the most important, unless you need hot access to the data.

>>1626
Is there anyone who knows how this shit works? I mean most of them are sas, but I'm currently out of non PCIe x1 slots on my mobo and most PCIe SAS controllers require x4+, and there are like 28 incompatible connector types for sas because why not, and the same for the 38 trillion different tape formats. Also ebay is full of these enclosures without a drive for $200+ and I fail to see their purpose. Also there are those RDX things where the drive is cheap but the tapes are ridiculously expensive.
So, any TL;DR guide for retards?

I want to archive thread with images here, how would I do this? 
gallery-dl doesn't seem to work.

Windows is occasionally giving me the "request failed due to a fatal hardware" error. It's like a drive is just disconnected for a split second and then instantly comes back.  Over time this has happened on many different drives, so I doubt it's a bad cable or drive. What's the most likely, is my SATA controller fucked, is my power supply (500W) too weak or dying or is it not actually a hardware error but a Windows bug? Not sure if it ever happened under Linux and not sure if I could even tell because the way I know Linux I/O it would probably just block for a few seconds and then continue as usual.

Look in dmesg for sata errors. As you said, linux usually retries random IO errors a few times before giving up, so a drive that gives random errors might appear to work correctly.
My case is worse, sometimes my notebook starts throwing I/O errors, and the ssd becomes completely unusable until I turn the whole machine off and on (a reset is not enough). I just can't pinpoint whether my SSD or SATA controller is fucked, because this sucker use some kind of non-standard size mini sata, that they used for something like 1 year before everyone jumped to M2, and I don't want to buy a new ssd with this snowflake form-factor just to figure out that the SATA controller is actually dying.

Some time last year this article was written: https://justine.lol/ape.html (archived: https://archive.ph/4yqR3 )
It basically says that command line programs written for Windows can also run on Linux with a tiny emulator, provided the architecture is x86_64. The topic is out of my field of knowledge, however I wanted to ask if there's any potential in this? Can the emulator be expanded upon to replace Wine in any capacity?
I couldn't get the emulator to work by the way

>>1647
It's not exactly an emulator (that emulator should be only required if you run it on non-x86 from what I understood), you have to recompile the program from source (and maybe change it a bit), and it emulates the linux syscall interfaces on other OSes (like windows), and not the other way round, so it's more like cygwin/msys, and not wine.
Wine is a hueg software, if you want to support every idiosyncrasy wangblows has, that's going to be a long and tedious task (even without any gui support). You might be able to write a little emulator that can run hello world complexity apps, but if you want to run real windows apps, expect to spend 10+ years on it.

>>1643
Searx is objectively one of the best choice of search engines, maybe the best. All other search engines are non-free, with the unfortunate exception of Yacy, which would be the best solution if everyone starts using it today. Searx is foss, you can host it yourself. It solves the search result problem not by throwing bucks on crawlers and infra. It did it by being a meta search engine, so you get to get the results of many non-free search engine and mitigate their bias. It provides a level of anonymity if many people use the same instance or jump between them, even searching through Tor won't be as efficient because of biased non-free search algorithms. At this point, Searx is Install Gentoo level of "meme", and they are not really memes,

thats basically just another wine
c code already runs on unix, the problem is only the code using windows dlls and libraries which could easily be replaced with unix compatible ones if ( !!! IF !!!!  ) the devs showed their source code

thats why 99% of programs work in wine after just emulating windows style directories, just having a C:/ directory is enough to get most programs to work, this has nothing to do with compatibility its purely the dev hardcoding windows into the program the changes required would be minimal in most cases, its the same with windows libraries, there are unix versions that provide identical functions and could easily be substituted but no one gives a shit and so the only way around it is to either decompile the binary and manually find and edit the broken code or emulate the windows environment, 
both of these 'solutions' are for a problem that shouldnt even exist in the first place

why does C feel like the only language that is real
like you can actually visualize the instructions that it gets compiled into very clearly, you know what gets initialized and what gets allocated and how it will be done and in what order, its such a clean language and lets you build things the way you want them to be, even after compiler optimization it still behaves exactly the way the code says it should

every other language is like a black box, you have no idea what the fuck is going on after compilation its like youre telling an ai what you want as code instead of actually writing  the code, it feels fake and unnatural if that makes sense, writing in C feels like programming, everything else just feels like, I dont know, not programming

>>1700
C provides less abstraction and forces the programmer to deal with more low level problems. The further the programmer is from the bare metal, the more difficult it is to imagine what the compiled code looks like.

>>1700
Because C was made as an abstraction of Assembly, while other languages are made as abstractions of programming itself.

  v: 3.2 Mesa 21.2.0-devel (git-48d48fbf3c) 
I used Parabola Linux and I happened to fix the problem partially. In order to fix fbdev, I have to like create a custom 20-fbdev.conf file in /usr/X11/xorg.conf.d/ which I found the manual information hidden in fbdev package. Some other shits are still broken, for instance when I entered "xrandr -q" in terminal, it only shows one currently use resolution mode:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1366 x 768, current 1366 x 768, maximum 1366 x 768
default connected 1366x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
There used to have a list of low resolution modes where I could switch into any of them in monitor setting(e.g 1028x720 854x480 ect). How do I get those old list back?

>>1711
Some ancient amd card, they can suck. But can't you use the radeon driver? That ought to work better than some generic vesa shit that knows nothing about your card, and maybe you'll even have opengl and not just some software renderer shit. Maybe.
And if it's a laptop, your display probably doesn't support any other resolution besides 1366x768, the gpu has to do the scaling, which can be borked depending on the driver.

Decided I'd give it a try. It caused my entire OS to crash; more specifically, it lagged so hard I thought it had froze, then the screen went black after about a minute, with the cursor still working. I've never had anything like that happen to me before. I'll probably look more into it tomorrow, but I figured I'd just share an update before turning in.

If you are using the radeon driver, you shouldn't be using fbdev.

For some reasons out of windows 7, 8.1 and 10, windows 7 is the one using the most of my battery despite how much I tried to fix it. All three of them I used debloat script but windows 7 sucked so much more power compared to the other two. Let it also be known that if it wasn't for the script then windows 7 and windows 10 would be around the same level. Maybe I need to use more than one script to fully optimize my battery life on 7?

My boot drive is a mess and I'm trying to figure out how to unfuck it without making it unbootable. Right now there are three partitions on it: an 8MB unknown partition that I assume has GRUB on it, ~280GB of unallocated space because I'm a retard, a 5.6GB boot partition that I'm not sure what it is exactly, and the rest of the drive has my OS on it. Also, even though the disk is GPT I don't see anything indicating it's EFI and therefore it only boots with the CSM enabled. Questions:
>What is the difference between the 8MB and the 5.6GB partitions? I assume one has GRUB and the other has some other significance in booting but I'm not sure.

How do you keep your Linux machines secure? I have lots of pdfs from the eye but for all I know they could have viruses. Also how can I tell if I'm infected seeing as there aren't really any AV solutions for Linux?

>>1779
>I have lots of pdfs from the eye but for all I know they could have viruses.
Open them in a VM. But I think it's unlikely a pdf will have a virus, and even more unlikely that your pdf reader will be able to be exploited by the virus if one exists. I think the latest state level pdf virus required people opening it to enable macros or something to execute scripts which is how NK hacked a bunch of SK state actors. So essentially your PDF reader has to have a vulnerability that allows scripts from a PDF to be executed freely for the file to do anything malicious. And that's unlikely to be the case if you're using a standard FOSS reader that's kept up to date.

Images can also contain viruses, but those viruses can generally only be executed if there's a flaw in the image viewing software you're using to open the image. At least this is my understanding.
>Also how can I tell if I'm infected seeing as there aren't really any AV solutions for Linux?
Clamtk/CalmAV is anti-virus for linux. If you want some extra peace of mind you can scan shit with it to see if it detects any known viruses.

>>1777
what bush? The one near your mom's crotch?

>>1772
>Also, even though the disk is GPT I don't see anything indicating it's EFI
Linux allows you to use GPT even if you boot it in BIOS/compatibility mode

>What is the difference between the 8MB and the 5.6GB partitions?
Honestly that question can be only answered by you because you installed the OS. The 8 MB partition might be used for EFI ESP but it's really tiny (the recommended size is 550 MB) You can check it by mounting the 8 MB partition: sudo mount --options=ro /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/mountpoint

>5.6GB boot 
That's where Linux kernel and the initramfs are usually stored. It should be around 256 MiB - 550 MiB

>Can I delete one or the other and realign the partitions to use the rest of the drive?
>Delete
Yes, if you reinstall it

>realign
I assume you mean resize? Yes, gparted can resize a partition but the partition can't be in use. You need to boot from a LiveCD and then resize it from the LiveCD environment.

>Is there anything I can do to make it boot without using the CSM?
Reinstall OS and create EFI ESP (ie. mount the EFI ESP partition to /boot/efi directory)

You don't need to reinstall it. But you are looking at a lot of rw on your nvme drive.
Verify your drive is in GPT, not in MBR. (As root, parted, then print)
If it's in GPT, you are in luck. Otherwise, you will have to repartition the drive.
Assuming it is in GPT, because unallocated space is larger than /, you can create a small /boot (fat32) then create a partition at least as big as your /. Then dd from that to your new big partition. Delete the old /, expand new / to cover all space.
Edit fstab, install grub(in efi mode)/efistub.

If it's in MBR, get another drive as a buffer for your data. dd to an img to it. Repartition in GPT, create /boot and dd the image back, then expand partition, edit fstab and install bootloader.
You can sha512 the partition to make sure the data is the same.

I just wanted to post this picture.

>>1816
LOL I didn't know that... No, wait... I did.

How do I upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 7?

>>1820
Install Gentoo

>>1821
Ok and that's it?

So how do I get started with building my own PC from the ground up? 
The two things I really need from it are:
 * being sealed (watercooler or something) due to my room being constantly dusty and dust having fucked my last 3 computers over the years 
 * being small so I can stuff it in a backpack when taking a plane (rather than trusting the baggage container not to break my pc in two), I see that are very small pc casings, but I also assume that a lot of care selecting the parts will be needed to ensure stuff will fit.
So first thing I did was google "build computer" and got myself a link to a website that lists parts and whatnot, but soon I figured I have no idea how watercooling works and plenty of parts are probably not compatible with it.
I am not in a rush so I want to get it right, thus, I came asking for help.

I will be liquidating my bitcoins for this, so although price is not a big of a concern, I still want cost efficient parts.
I also want to know anons opinions about buying parts nowadays, considering crazy inflation is about to hit the US.

>>1824
"Watercooling" doesn't make your computer any more "sealed". Watercooling is just the act of moving heat away from components faster so the heat can travel to a radiator where a fan exhausts or intakes air. The airflow of the case doesn't really change. And there isn't that much performance increase from watercooling either, especially not for games.
>being small so I can stuff it in a backpack when taking a plane (rather than trusting the baggage container not to break my pc in two), I see that are very small pc casings, but I also assume that a lot of care selecting the parts will be needed to ensure stuff will fit.
This is more of a reason to go with some sort of AIO liquid cooler over a tower cooler because they can fit in more niche form factors, generally speaking.
>I am not in a rush so I want to get it right, thus, I came asking for help.
Building a PC for the first time while not incredibly difficult is daunting. Building a small form factor PC is doing it on hard mode since even veteran PC builders will run into issues with part compatibility and unexpected clearance issues.

You're probably best off watching various jewtube guides and taking at least a few weeks to research and get a fundamental grasp on how everything works. If you don't know what something is then look up a primer on jewtube to learn the concept.

>>1824
>searching "build pc guide" - the post
>get it right
The only way to get it right is to do your own researches and questioning all sources.

I was under the impression that you could put the water cooler radiator outside of the casing, so that no air ever needs to get inside, and thus no dust could ever get inside either.

>>1825
>And there isn't that much performance increase from watercooling either, especially not for games.
What's watercooling good for then? I kinda always wanted to try it, but I have a feeling that other than "looking cool", it doesn't really have any advantage over standard air cooling, but it's a lot more hassle.

>>1827
That sounds quite niche. I don't think I've seen cases that do that.
>>1828
Custom water cooling is just a way for people with too much money and time to waste both of them. Liquid AIO's are allegedly better for "portable" systems you might move around a lot since the weight of the CPU cooler is more distributed and won't do some crazy shit like sheer off the motherboard like a big tower cooler might with enough jarring strain, but that's quite specific. Liquid AIOs have the issue of more failure points like pumps, leaks (rare), or evaporation that occurs after 5+ years making them work very poorly eventually.

How do i make ls files in a way  that prints subdirs without grouping them when doing  ~/* ? I tried everything in man ls and all the time ls does this:

$ ls docs/*

/home/user/docs/vids:

ls -1d ~/docs/*/*/*kind of shitty but it works. I wish there's a better command than this.

>>1835
I tried using printf, it works far faster than ls(at least in this case) , i will post again if i find a more elegant solution

printf '%s\n' ~/docs/* ~/docs/*/*

You could also try find: find ~/docs -maxdepth 2

Clam antivirus is meant to be used on your Linux servers (primarily mail servers) to scan files that are going to be opened on a Windows machine. To answer the antivirus question, the architecture of Linux makes this very hard and you're basically at the mercy of your own skills at configuring the firewall and sandboxing the software you install (ignoring the gigantic blind spot of all the old as shit Linux modules you have running if you aren't compiling it yourself).

>>1824
Do you trust the baggage handlers with your monitor? It sounds like you just need a laptop and put in place some measures against dust, such as a dust filter over the openings where the air goes in and out. Same filter would work on a regular PC case, just don't be a lazy shit and clean it regularly. If you really do need a desktop PC, an option at keeping it small would be to buy a smaller motherboard, a mini case and a CPU with a decent built-in GPU. Watercooling is painful to maintain, if I had to go that route I'd just submerge everything in mineral oil.

>>1834
Just sort as >>1837 suggested, Unix tools are better off combined than looking for an obscure flag to do everything with one program.

>>1839
> It sounds like you just need a laptop and put in place some measures against dust
I do have a laptop right now, every year it starts to showering me with BSOD (most likely) caused by dust in my videocard, even though every single air entrance got a dust filter, it becomes an ancient city of motherboard every year.
Hence why I want to make a fully sealed computer this time, impossible for dust to get in at all, my first idea was watercooling, since I think I can completely seal the computer casing if the videocard and processor are watercooled.

>>1841
Alternatively, depending on how much performance you need out of your machine, look into toughbooks.

>>1841
The keyword to search with is "fanless laptop/mini-itx". Look that shit up.

>>1841
If you really want it fully sealed your best bet is likely going to be a water cooled system that uses an aqueduct external radiator, you will need to seal the case yourself though, I don't think there is a case that does that out of the box.
It might be a good idea to have an internal radiator with fans in order to also get rid of the general heat components give off.

>>1779
It terms of software I use firejail, not sure to how much it'd stand up to but it at least keeps unbehaved software in check.

Do ARM64 cpu have botnet like intel ME or PSP? I would like to have one of these if it has the attributes that respect my freedom as a real personal computer without botnet. I don't mind if its a bit low powered version like snapdragon as long it play can play touhou at 60fps on linux.

>>1845
>snapdragon
>low powered
Snapdragon has one of the fastest arm processor, also one with the most botnet.
There is Trustzone already in Cortex-A53, one of the first arm64 microarch. A better bet is something like sunxi a20.
Unless your touhou is compiled for ARM/ARM64, emulating x86 would be extremely slow.

>>1836
So, anything on A20 cortex is fine? That's sound like 1.5 ghz dual potato core cpu. This thing also run on fanless. Would it be durable enough to crank up 1.5 ghz cpu speed consistantly?

>>1847

>>1848
It is a potato @ 1GHz, but the Hz doesn't matter at all when performance per hz is so low. At most it can be console/thin client for something bigger, they are cheap and good enough as free as in freedom rasberry pi alternatives. Your other choices are
>most recent librebooted x86

In any case, playing touhou (assuming there aren't ports/sources) limits you to librebooted x86 machines. Unless qemu+kvm on Talos 2 Power9 seems cheap to you.

I'm just kind of salty right now because I can't rander the game smoothly at decent speed. Never thought the rendering requirement for this game is quite demanding for my shitty AMD RS880M laptop. My kernel is forcing the computer to rander on LLVM pipe backend which could be the case why the performance is so shit. Also, I might need to require using this package for randering opetimization https://github.com/LunarG/LunarGLASS which is a pain the ass to compile. I can't figure out why I'm getting revision.h file missing error.

I'm looking to burn Silent Hill onto a cd for my PS1, where do I get a copy of the iso, each place I usually go have a bin file and the cue.

>>1854
A cue file describes how the data in bin maps onto a disc, what is stopping you from using that to burn your CD? Something like PowerISO should be able to do it.

>>1854
Can't you just use cdrdao to write the bin+cue to the disk? IIRC iso only supports a single track but it has been more than 10 years since I last written a CD so my memory might not be correct...

>>1855
>>1856
Ah alright, I did not know how to do it with those 2 files. Thanks

>>1856
With cdrdao, how do you write those files?

>>1857
Never mind I got it

>>1856
I lied, I'm getting an error where it is saying that the bin file does not exist, do you have any idea how to fix this?

>>1860
cat whatever.cue and look for the bin file name. It was probably made by some botnet user and fucked up character casing.

>>1861
FILE "Silent Hill (USA).bin" BINARY
    TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
        INDEX 01 00:00:00
does this mean that it is looking for the file in the root dir?

>>1862
Unless cdrdao is retarded, it should look next to the cue file. If it's retarded, in the current directory. If all else fails, strace it.

>>1861
Ok, now I got it, I placed it in my home dir and it worked

how to isolate bad blocks on a cheap/probably illegal usb that doesnt have SMART ?? 
in short, been using a live usb for over a year now as a desktop (couldnt bother installing ) and now its finally broken internally and Im getting squashfs read errors so obviously  the usb has some bad blocks on it 
but everytime I run badblocks or e2fsck -c or even -cc the usb disconnects after the first bad block is touched and fucks up the test so I cant  get a list of all the bad blocks
obviously this is something wrong with the usbs microcontroller otherwise it wouldnt disconnect and give an I/O error instead, its somehow keeping track of bad blocks but doesnt relocate or destroy them
I tried dding with zeros to force rellocation but nothing changed, seems like some kind of intentional planned obsolesces, the usb is 99.99% fine though, its full of shit and nothing is corrupted its just impossible to run a live OS on it because the usb disconnects everytime a bad block is touched

I look for jobs on stackoverflow, "4 languages" is being gentle.
They want you to know Go, Scala, that "C/C++" that you never know if it's one or the other or both or undefined behavior, Javascript, Python, Bash, a million DSLs for whatever tools they use, and fuck knows what else.

For some reason normalfags have taken the saying "use the right tool for the right job" as a suggestion to use all the tools that are horrible for any job at the same time, and for wasting their lives learning many bad tools that all do the same thing, instead of learning the techniques to put a good tool to use. 
They will make the utmost effort to ensure you associate that saying with irony.

>>1930
if you know one you basically know them all, knowing how to build hist is whats important not what syntax you memorized 
most people can probably learn a new language on the fly and it would take a week max to adjust to a new language
and Im sure 99% of people do not ever write freestyle, theyre mostly constantly referring to the developer manual 
unless youre entering some kind of timed competition theres no reason to """""'master""""" any specific language

if you can Hello World in a specific language on the spot, then put it on your CV, and if you get hired only then actually learn what you need to and adjust to that language

Is there any cool cheap chink shit you can recommend me? I'm been wanting to buy something for a while but cant find anything worthwhile.

LMAO, how do you do compiler optimization with java as like how you'd do with gcc on c code? Don't tell me you can't..lololol.

>>1947
Rewrite the program in a compiled language with an optimizing compiler and execute it from Java.
What else do you expect, poo? Java is compiled to bytecode, which is interpreted by the piece of shit jvm. How can you even "optimize" for an architecture, when you don't even know which one when you compile? Sure you can optimize away dead code and stuff, but that's the most you can do. If you want performance, look elsewhere.

jvm implementations use just in time compilation, this has been the case for about 20 years.

>>1947
That's like asking where the cross-platform VM for C code is, anon. The tradeoff to using Java as compared to C is the JVM, which transforms the program you wrote into bytecode optimized for the platform it's supposed to run on. Higher level abstractions and all that shit. The price of this is no manual optimization. Well, you can do it in theory. Simply learn JVM's opcodes and dive in with a disassembler. But in an absolute majority of cases this golfing will not lead anywhere and might even make things worse.
