Yeah. Well I made a seperate package.unmask file for ncurses. 
With the suggested safety measure to disable all other packages in the repo, I also had to unmask these dependencies in a package.unmask file: games-util/steam-meta
games-util/steam-launcher
games-util/steam-client-meta
games-util/game-device-udev-rules
and likewise accept the ~amd64 keyword for them in package.accept_keywords:   GNU nano 7.2                                       steam

Just searched for random videos about gentoo on jewtube and on the top were of course your typical anime hipster faggots and that 4chan nigger with his obnoxious wojack thumbnails who lately pops up in my recommendations.

I'm running Linux Mint on a wifi connection and at what seems to be a little over every 60 seconds my connection speed drops to zero for a brief time, killing any DLs ongoing and causing "ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED" errors in browser if I happen to be opening a new page at the time. The connection stays connected (video streaming will keep going). This error does not effect any other machine in my house, it happens across two USB wireless adapters (which use different drivers. One BrosTrend the other Panda Wireless) on the same machine but not when the same machine is using a phone tethering. Any idea what's going on?

Try disabling IPv6 in network manager. You can edit it by clicking on the nm-applet control panel and selecting "edit connections".
Maybe try the other suggestions from this article:

Thanks. Seems to have worked. I constantly hear PulseAudio is a trashfire, which explains why its defaults were so retarded (assuming everything is a laptop and shut down soundplay after a few seconds of inactivity) and needed to be manually edited.

It's true that some dorks install Gentoo just to get nerd creds. They probably don't even select any USE flags themselves, they just copy+paste the Wiki and blindly copy everything. There are really some valid reasons why Gentoo is such a great distro, for example, you can disable stuff to remove some bloat (or stuff you don't need or even want) and you can easily apply custom patches or you can have a Linux system where most programs are statically linked (if you want to). And the USE flags and Portage automates most stuff. I'm not aware of any other distro or OS that allows these and that is as convenient as Gentoo/Portage (if you don't count Funtoo, but I have tried both and Gentoo > Funtoo).

The only good one is Mullvad.

>Maybe that's the better method. 
It is, if you don't need IPv6. Just add ipv6.disable=1 to your Linux kernel cmdline parameters (in /etc/default/grub).
>>10133
>There are really some valid reasons why Gentoo is such a great distro
The main thing that made gentoo good was the hardened project. But now grsec is private and all the toolchain hardening has been upstreamed to gcc. Learning is the only other good reason to use gentoo, if you want to get into tech as a profession then learning the ins and outs of essentially rolling your own distro will teach you a lot. Hacking on your own ebuilds in an overlay will also teach you about how different software projects are built and distributed if you are interested in software development.

The only one I can somewhat recommend is BuyVM. I think smuglo.li is still running on that, as long you don't host anything blatantly illegal they don't really care.

Some reflections on my experience thus far:
I think I already learned a lot I wouln't have learned on other distros. 
It certainly teaches patience and reading up on things yourself, although anons here also have been a great help.
 I certainly am not afraid of making my own custom kernels anymore after setting up the manual kernel from scratch.
Another useful aspect is I had some problems with my hardware on Arch and those are now gone,  now that I have individually selected every firmware component and kernel option needed.

I try to keep useflags to a minimum.

The control over licenses is also very useful and the ability to make exceptions for individual packages.
The eselect repos are more secure over the AUR and give me a sense of better security, that I can strictly discriminate what I want to have from those repos.

As far as I'm concerned another great feature of portage is that it can install several versions of the same package, avoiding a lot of dependency conflicts.

Overall I'm happy that I can finally maxx out my hardware and it is a pleasure to see how quickly packages are compiling my Ryzen 3600. Librewolf took under half an hour.

I guess its mostly placebo, also because I haven't used this PC in a long time, but everything feels much cleaner and incredibly snappy. Programs open in a matter of uSeconds.
I guess it would be more noticable on slower systems. 
I've seen some fag install gentoo on a 486 and running programs including a web browser on X. Might try that on my K6.
Though ofc. with the downside that compiling is a pain on such slow systems. 
Maybe there's a way to have another PC compile the packages.

Its always important to keep notes. With those portage quirks now obvious to me I think I could install, I think I could install a full system in a matter of hours.

A friend recommended me ITLDC. He made several OpenVPN servers with that.
Any experience with it?
>BuyVM 
Prices are better than on ITLDC, though if I get uptime as a downside, I don't really think it's worth it - at least for my matrix project.

I will definetely consider making a VPN server with that. The cheapest option having unlimited bandwith is unbeatable as far as I'm concerned.
That would far outdo anything Mullvad could provide, right?

How can I auto decrypt multiple drives upon bootup on Gentoo OpenRC?
Just putting the additional drive in my crypttab doesn't work.
It works creating a script in /etc/local.d but it will get decrypted AFTER fstab tries to mount the partitions and also I would like to think there should be a much cleaner, elegant solution.
Ok, it's called dmcrypt on OpenRC.
Weird that crypttab did work in conjunction with dracut using the auto root decrypt on my full disk encrypted system

>3.89
Sorry for the late reply, what I was trying to say is that your dependencies in emerge is not able select which NSS version. Something is pulling NSS 3.79.4 in your current system, but the available version requested by librewolf is 3.89 and it doesn't know which to choose (likely because you are using an overlay). 99% of the time you can fix this by just upgrading to the latest version.
Try passing this:
emerge --ask --oneshot =dev-libs/nss-3.89
and emerge librewolf again.

I have been thinking about getting a drawing tablet so I could get rid of the endless amounts of paper I print out and have no place to store. I'm not an artist, so I don't need a high end one, but searching the internets for things like these become more tiring every day with the insane amount of paid shills, plus the insane amount of retards using linux these days, so I'd like to ask you anons if any of you have any experience with them. What I'd like:
>hdmi + usb, connect to computer as a secondary screen
>pen + touch screen (so I can even use it without the pen if I don't have to draw)
>linux support
And by linux support, I mean normal support, not that binary garbage (aka botnet) some chink tablets have. Also preferably without OpenTabletDriver (who the fuck though writing driver a in .net is a good idea? And it also requires gtk3. Why does a driver need a gui, it's supposed to be just a config file with some variables, only retarded windows niggers have these preconception of every fucking thing needing a fucking gui for no fucking reason. And if you decide to write a fucking gui at least don't use the fucking worst widget toolkit in the whole fucking universe for fucks sake).

You have an rx 380  with Gentoo right? Try setting in kernel or boot args for dpm to be 1 or 0, it's a bit fucked since they set it one way and then inverted the choice.
Also, kernel version, your graphics settings, and is your AMD GPU drivers built into the kernel?
>>10180
Yes, it's r9 380x

AMDGPU is built as module. I'll build it directly into the kernel. Should work since I have dracut configured to include firmware in the initramfs, right?

amdgpu.dpm=1 ?
>>10181
Ok found this https://www.mikejonesey.co.uk/linux/amdgpu-linux-driver-parameters
Won't this toast my GPU then if it can't dynamically throttle down clockspeed?

The arch wiki also suggested this kernel paramter for another error message that I don't know is related to this issue: 
amdgpu.vm_update_mode=3
>>10181
Built the kernel, disabled dpm, let's see if this fixed it.
>>10181
Just remember if you build amdgpu into the kernel, the firmware blobs must be included as well (see Gentoo wiki page)
Also, what is your performance governor? Performance seems to have issues at times with the old cgn cards (and has shit drivers for these... I know because Polaris has been an eternal shitshow). Use ondemand or conservative.
I think it's just dpm=1 (try 0 as well) since 4.xx kernel.
Another thing to check, are you using multiple outputs (like 2x HDMI etc)? That causes issues and has not been fixed since 4.14....
What is your kernel version?
>AMDGPU built as a module
That's fine. No need to build in initramfs, that's if you build it into the kernel. I was asking if the old ati module is not being built, or if it is, blacklisted.
> amdgpu.vm_update_mode=3

A tip: you generally want to use set -eu in scripts because you probably want to stop when you encounter errors. Adding also set o pipefail  makes the script fail if one of the piped commands fails (you don't want to use this always). Also, use shellcheck (unfortunately, it's the only way to make shell scripts less annoying to write).


If you want to enable tap to click permanently, the correct way to do it is to use xorg.conf.d:
language: bash
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/43-touchpad.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "MyTouchpad"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "3"
EndSection

I got this config from a web search result because I use libinput(4) driver on my laptop. I have this in my config:
language: bash
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/43-touchpad.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "MyTouchpad"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Driver "libinput"
    Option "Tapping" "on"
    Option "ScrollMethod" "edge"
EndSection

You can mount with autodefrag, but that can have horrible impact on the performance of bigger sqlite databases, and maybe disk images, so I stopped doing that. Alternatively there is btrfs fi defrag to manually defragment a file, but  its effectiveness greatly degrades as soon as you start having snapshots/COW copies of that file. You can also try nodatacow to prevent the issue in the first place, but that interacts with snapshots in a non-obvious manner: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/285763/taking-snapshots-of-a-btrfs-volume-mounted-with-nodatacow
In the end, COW and data deduplication generally leads to higher fragmentation. If you try to defragment it, you'll end up with higher disk usage (but less fragmentation). I also recommend getting btdu, which can show you how much space is lost due to broken up extents.
One alternative that I use is to use LVM2 and create separate LVs for the VMs. They won't fragment, but also you won't be able to snapshot them together with the btrfs subvolume. (Look` into lvm thin if you need thin provisioning/better snapshotting support).

I forgot to write down the account and password for my router, and I'm essentially locked out. I have salvaged all that I needed from my ~/.i2p and ~/.i2pd folders, completely erased them, erased the old install, and installed the latest version of i2p from the website.

No matter what the fuck I do, i2p still asks for an account and password. The only source about resetting passwords is a six-year-old reddit post that is outdated as fuck, and FUCKING NOTHING on the i2p forums.

You might also want to check your suspend settings (maybe initramfs is fucked). I don't use suspend or hibernate. check also that in the kernel AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT is unset (try passing kernel parameter mem_encrypt=off)
What was your dracut parameters? Try passing the module "resume" explicitly or  using genkernel's initramfs since it seems to be more stable for me.
I suggest you browse the gentoo wiki/irc/forum, otherwise. Like I said the Volcanic Island cards really seem to get the short end of the code quality stick. Your card might just be fucked and on the way out too.

Have you disabled SMT (Inlel calls it Hyper-Threading) in UEFI or Linux? Some motherboards don't support suspending on RAM if you disable it. If you are talking about suspending on disk, you need to make sure to set Linux kernel cmdline resume partition param.

I got an idea.

You can (optionally) run Alpine Linux off RAM and store changes on a SD card or flash drive (you need to do this manually). Alpine can be installed on disk, too. The only caveat with running Alpine as your desktop/laptop OS is that proprietary software doesn't work with musl. But GZDoom works, Chromium/Firefox works, and so on.  I recommend that you use stable release first but you can upgrade to edge (-current) if you want to. I ran Alpine Linux edge as my only desktop OS for like 2 months.

What you mean by that? Are you talking about Alpine Linux? Or, do you mean that you want to play video games on a server PC that's doing $other_stuff at the same time or do you mean that you want to run games inside Docker containers? You can use nice/renice to make processes more nice to other processes (i.e. change their priority). If you are talking about Alpine... I used to run it as a daily driver for a couple of months and it works (provided that you don't need proprietary software because non-free software expect that you use Glibc. For example, GZDoom just works on Alpine, as do most other FLOSS games.). If you meant that you want to run proprietary programs inside Docker, then the performance penalty is smaller vs. using a full-blown VM but I have never used Docker like that. Either way, you want a lot of RAM (except, if you meant Alpine Linux without VMs or containers.). I think it's easier to run sever stuff inside containers and play your video games outside of containers.

This is what I do for my flash drives but I used similar method on my old PC for making a Fat32 partition for sharing stuff between windows and Linux.
I'm on Void Linux and I have gparted version 1.5.0.
1. open terminal emu
2. sudo gparted
3. select device from the drop down menu (first make sure it's not mounted, umount it if it is. you can use lsblk to check it).
4. (optional) If you want to nuke everything: menubar => device => create new partition table => GPT for partitions that are larger than 1TB, otherwise use MBR/MS-DOS.
  Or shrink/delete a partition.
Note: You should use Windows disk management GUI for shrinking NTFS partitions because I heard that there is an edge case that wasn't properly handled years ago.
5. Right click on the free space and select New.
6. select FAT32 as the file system format and press add.
7. press Apply from toolbar (green check mark)
8. Done.

You can alternatively use cgdisk (gpt-fdisk) or cfdisk on terminal. Then use mkfs.??? /dev/sd?n (change ? to correct letter and n to correct partition num) to format your partition (check the output of lsblk first). You want to set the partition type to 0B or 0C aka "FAT32 win95 LBA" or something similar (on GPT HDD, Botnet 10 used partition type 0700 for NTFS but pls use Windows tools for making the NTFS partition but use gparted to nuke or delete partition(s).).

>Details on docker daily driver.

Short answer - Steam does not play well with WMs on my system. I was wondering if using docker would keep steam and games not related to steam more stable, secure, and private while the host end I could edit what I want in regards to the WM/DE. Your link to "Gui in docker containers" is actually extremely relevant to my interests.

Long answer - Steam does not like it when I change from mainline DE (XFCE, KDE, etc) to just a straight WM. Depending on the WM I switch to, it will cause some form of badness that makes me unable to play vidya. Because of this, I've been using XFCE, but otherwise I'd prefer to use as little overhead on the WM/DE side of things within reason, but I keep going back to XFCE.

Don't get me wrong, XFCE is a perfectly-good DE, and it's light relative to all the bullshit on the market, but I wanted to "use as little overhead as I can" with my DE/WM, and thus, thought of keeping steam, other vidya, browsing, and anything GUI-related in a docker container that contains all the shit that steam needs to function at best (within the limitations of valve's programming).

What I was expecting, is that I could set up a docker container using say, either ubuntu, linux mint, or steamOS's (as a last resort) files, set up steam, and theoretically, be able to play vidya with as little problems as possible on a linux setup, while retaining the low drag of having just a WM on the X side of things.

The link you posted has shed quite a bit of light on what I am to expect when it comes to docker containers. What I want is a balance between the security of my system and the convenience of just being able to get shit running in a few clicks. With my current system, VMs are either too slow, or too clunky for me, so I've been using jails otherwise.

From your link, it shows that using docker with the first method doesn't stop spying at all, and I'd need to look more up on VNC before I'd decide if it's worth going through the trouble setting it up.

Either way, thanks, and if this helps, I hope to know what you think on this.

Not him and I don't know if launching games are related to steam. If you want to run steam in its own de, you only need to run an xephyr or xpra session. If you want more security, you can mount the xephyr or spra socket to a container.

I'm using Void Linux as well but version 1.4.0 of GParted.
>This is what I do for my flash drives
Thanks, that worked (for FAT32). But I think there's a problem when resizing partitions:
<burn ISO to flash drive using Rufus on Windows
<result is one FAT32 partition readable by Windows
<shrink partition and add a second one, also FAT32, using GParted on Linux
<second partition is unreadable by Windows
<attempting to "change drive letter" of second partition using disk mgmt on Windows results in an error (pic related)
<attempting to format second partition also results in an error
So I took your advice:
>use gparted to nuke or delete partition(s)
And did the following:
<delete second partition using GParted on Linux
<unallocated space is now properly shown in disk mgmt on Windows
<however can't re-create second partition on Windows, all the "New ... Volume" options are grayed out
So the bottom line is GParted can't properly handle NTFS nor FAT32 partitions. Other than simply formatting an entire disk as one partition, GParted is useless and produces unusable disks.
Is there a different GUI program that actually works? I'd prefer something on Linux so I can live-boot it and use it on the go where Windows is unavailable.

>use Windows disk management GUI for shrinking NTFS partitions because I heard that there is an edge case
Now that you mention it, I believe I experienced this problem some time ago... I formatted and multi-partitioned a new disk on a new PC in preparation to install Windows 10, where all the partitions were NTFS. But during the W10 setup I could neither format nor install on any of said partitions, despite the setup recognizing each one of them.

That's not true. But there is (or at least was) NTFS edge case that wasn't properly handled by gparted. The reason for that is likely the fact that NTFS is proprietary FS. I have used gparted extensively for creating and resizing FAT32 partitions and it has always just worked (it has worked fine for shrinking NTFS partitions, too. But I wasn't aware of the unsupported edge case, back then. I can't recommend using gparted for NTFS anymore, though.). The only thing that's not fully supported is working with NTFS partitions.

>Is there a different GUI program that actually works? 
I have no idea why it is not working for you but I have used gparted for the whole time I have been on Linux (10 years) and it has never failed me. gparted is the only partition editor GUI that doesn't suck.

If you've done any distro hopping you might have noticed when you try to open or save a file with a popular app like firefox, the file picker window looks completely different if it is a GTK based desktop or QT one.

The desktop portal service is like a proxy that the app connects to when it needs a file picker dialogue and it figures out which one to use instead of the apps themselves worrying about it.

So I would check if the xdg-desktop-portal service is running or crashed or isn't installed. That could be the issue. You can also try installing a different one (either xdg-desktop-portal-gtk or xdg-desktop-portal-kde).

Personally I think everything about GTK3 styling is ridiculous and gives me eye cancer so I replace the gtk one with the kde one and even though I'm running xfce I get sane looking QT file pickers in all my apps which is nice.


The "portal" and FileChooser stuff is a proxy service. When you want to save a file in the browser it connects to this

On the other side the JewU, or "the west" as a whole is barely any better, actively genociding its own populations by controlled mass immigration and all the anti white policies. I just think the two are a different kind of evil with the CCP not really concerning us as europeans that much yet. 
Which is the lesser evil is up to you.

I myself have bought a lot of chinkshit in the past, mainly electronic components which has gotten a bit on my consience as well recently with all the scamdemic shit and the role CCP has played in the whole affair. 
As such being a tea addict, for my own consience I started ordering from Taiwan mostly.
 
On the topic of electronics though the other guy is right, just buying used shit is the best way to be independent from the globalized economy. Otherwise you can check out suppliers like Digikey or mouser. 
They stock european made electronic components. Sometimes the components are even cheaper than AliExpress - with the new EU tax - with the added bonus that you can be sure it's not relabeled bogshit. 
You'll have to plan in advance and order in bigger quantities though, since shipping is quite expensive.

DNS is normally resolved on the client, so you need to edit the client's hosts file, not the server's one.

(Unless you use some kind of deep packet inspection, like this, but I never tried it: https://github.com/Lochnair/xt_tls), or set up a DNS server on the server, but in that case you still need to point resolv.conf at the server's IP.

Well, since you have a hosts file, probably the easiest is to set up dnsmasq (you only need to enable dns server, not dhcp/tftp/whatever else it supports), point it to the downloaded hosts file, then point your clients to the DNS server. You can actually even use this without wireguard, if you want.
>>10363
If he's just trying to censor himself the easiest thing is to install privoxy and put all the websites you don't like into the blockfile. Then you configure your browser to use privoxy as a http proxy and you're done.

You only need something more complicated if you're trying to man in the middle someone else's connection without their knowledge or approval.

If you don't care about accounts, just use onshape.
If you want to experience pain, use any of the open source tools (freecad, openscad, etc)
If you want to make this more than a hobby, get solidworks.

By the looks of it, you're using tinkercad like you would any proper parametric cad software so it should be fast for you to learn onshape and solidworks.

I have been unsuccessfully trying the whole day now to get this fuckshit to work now.
Anon. I'm asking again, because you've always been able to help me.

I have this unusual setup:
>openwrt
>connects to public wifi instead of WAN
>all traffic goes through a wireguard server

I want to run transmission on openwrt and it should pass through the wireguard vpn just like everything else, but it won't connect at all.

I tried all kinds of port forwards and shit, but I don't really know what I'm doing. 
I have the feeling that I'm just missing something essential here. 
Any idea?
>>10444
this tutorial doesn't even mention anything about port forwards etc.
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/downloading_and_filesharing/transmission

I would have posted about how you should learn why port forwarding is used. But you got trips and I am in mood.
If I read it correctly, you have a wireguard peer as vpn server somewhere on the internet. You need to setup port forward on the wireguard server instead of openwrt.

I have opened the port on the firewall. But I guess this is something different again? A google search brought up this https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/vpn/wireguard/rules.html
Though it's too late now. Will bother with this tommorow.

Also if I run qbittorrent on my computer connecting to the fritzbox it works without a problem, so that's what made me doubt it's got something to do with port forwarding.

The reason why bin packages may have bad performance is that they may have been built without LTO.

It's running in a VM with 3D acceleration disabled because they broke it. Disabling the rainbow animation was the first thing I did when it was added, it's not relevant.

I already tried disabling compositing, HW acceleration and toggling a bunch of chrome flags but can't find anything that makes any difference.

Keep your /home, and make sure in the new install you have the same username and uid. /var and /etc are also places where system-wide settings/data might be stored, but you shouldn't blindly copy it over (especially /etc).
Unless you're really short on space, I recommend you do the install on a new partition/disk, so if the shit hits the fan you can still go back or grab the important files.

Nigger, if you are doing a serious configuration on a router, do it in the mother fucking command line. This requires you to login into root from your router through ssh, and from there you can know what the fuck was going by typing dmesg. Treat it as like your second linux computer. It's a same fucking shit. Right now I would suggest you to start it all over again by deleting your current vpn configuration and redo it from squere one. If you ever install any opkg pakages that is related to vpn, delete those too and reinstall it fresh back again.

Or maybe it was never in documents but I could have sworn it was supposed to be. That aside I'm just not having a good time so far. I wasted many hours setting up stuff other than this then realized I was losing control. Gimp, vlc (and it's dvd breaking thing), dolphin, mednafen, mupen64+-QT, etc, but also copied lots of files over. I've turned it off and on lots, so inb4 that, and of course I updated it before installing stuff. It's lubuntu 18 rather than 20ish though, I read 20ish is more broken and I used to trust this OS in an emergency but never REALLY tried to use it much until now. I basically did not do much to it but suddenly, and I do recall it happening before, this wifi applet bullshit? How do I even open it without the icon? manually it looks overly.... manual, to add a network. There's no searching when I go through the start menu looking thing. Network connections is not it and Network is not it either. It's just a pain. You should not NEED that icon and using nm-applet to make it show up temporarily is just plain broken.

Your T430 will have no problems with running a 64-bit OS.
>I figured post 18.04 was soullessly developed
The main motivation for distros (especially desktop oriented) dropping 32-bit support is that the number of 32-bit only machines still in use is very small, the maintainer time and server space for providing a 32-bit version and packages just isn't worth it anymore. Fortunately some distros still support 32-bit only machines, in particular those aimed for really old computers.
>But how fast is it going to break?
The main issue is that you won't get any security patches or software updates, since those will mostly come from your distro repositories. Unlike in proprietary software, updates for open source programs are genuine improvements more often than not (only a few exceptions come to mind and some of those are down to personal preference), problems do get fixed over time and useful features are added.

Imagine using an outdated OS that no longer gets any updates (while you can get an OS that's at least on par with the features and still gets updates, and you can download it for free).

If you need a 32-bit OS, get Debian or Devuan. Use expert install option, so you can choose the DE yourself during the install, or use aptitude or tasksel after installation (but they don't remove the old DE, IIRC). If you are going to install Devuan, I highly recommend choosing OpenRC during the installation.  If you don't want Debian/Devuan, try Void Linux. It's very comfy (it also has a TUI installer).

Wine works 90% of half the time after you spend 3 days debugging shit and wasting time that you could have spent just using the software, for each individual application. Playonlinux makes wine work slightly more often for considerably more bloat. 
Alternatively you could just use linux software instead, but if you're considering windows in the first place odds are the alternatives you have are just inferior copies which are not only lack multiple critical features, but are also bloated, prone to crashing when using their limited features, hardcoded to use systemd for no logical reason, and have a COC.

I'm trying to download the videos from this site but it somehow resisted every tactic I know of. 
Seems the way it works is it redirects you to another server that only gives you the video if you have the correct headers(?) but that site also has some JS bloat to kill the page if you open the page inspector. I even tried some third party addons but I only got one that could find the links (but hides them internally) and it required a third party tool to download the videos. 
Currently I've given up and I'm using the russian link to download it at 100kb/s but here's the link if anyone wants to try.

>Screen recording
OBS Studio (GUI, main focus is live streaming with offline recording capabilities, most features & community)
SimpleScreenRecorder (GUI, focused on recording, easy to use but the most niche)
FFmpeg (CLI, swiss army knife of video programs, screen capture not a primary focus but lots of documentation and generally useful)
>Video editing
Olive 0.12 (GUI, hardware accelerated with OpenGL effects, most similar to tools like Adobe Premiere with major rewrite in the works)
Cinelerra GG (GUI, multi threaded with an FFmpeg backend, lots of features and not slow either but the UI is like nothing else out there so it has a learning curve)
Blender VSE (GUI, single threaded, not speedy but solid like you would expect from Blender)

You've tried yt-dlp obviously.

If you stream a video in your browser and open up the developer tools you will see something like this in the Network tab
>foo.m3u8
>bar1.ts
>bar2.ts
>bar3.ts
>foo.m3u8
>bar1.ts
>bar2.ts
>bar3.ts
>....
The .ts files are the actual video+audio chopped up into like 10 second chunks.
The .m3u8 file is a playlist file, that tells the video player what the next few .ts files to download are and in what order to play them.

So first things first grab the .m3u8 file and look inside. That will give you the URLs for the .ts files. Normally they are just numbed 1,2,3... etc. So one thing to try is just increment the number yourself and download all the .ts files for this stream with wget.

If it's a live stream they might only let you download the last 10 minutes or so. Once you have all the .ts files (or as many as you can get) you can join them all together into a .mp4 file using ffmpeg.

The nuclear option if the server won't let you download the .ts files with wget. Run mitmdump, add the fake SSL certificate to firefox, and just play the video in firefox. Mitmdump will record all the bytes flowing through firefox into a big file. Then you can parse out the video data into .ts files and then glue them into a .mp4 video with ffmpeg like above.

Open the inspector network tab, start playing a video, grab the m3u8 link and then run:

If it's still 403 you can right click the m3u8 in the firefox inspector network tab -> Copy Value -> Copy Request Headers to find the right referer (sic).

Now that the dust has settled are goto statements le good or le bad?
>>10740
You should generally le shy away from them, but in some cases they can be le useful like when getting out of very deeply nested le loops.
>>10740
Fine as long you don't overuse them, but it also depends on the language. For example in C they are frequently used to jump to common cleanup code in case of errors, while in languages with deterministic destructors/finally blocks/etc you'll rarely use them.
Replies: >>10743
>>10740
Goto is just a jump like any conditional, function call, or loop. There's nothing special about them. You shouldn't use gotos when other forms of jump are neater, otherwise use them. This is mostly in the way that is typical of C written by Unix hackers as >>10742 described.

Wut? You know that every control structure will be lowered to something like if (...) goto ...; when compiling your code, right? CPUs only have conditional jump.
Replies: >>10749
>>10745
I remember reading a post a long time ago where the use of goto in certain cases caused the compiler to fuck up and generate code that wasn't as fast as the equivalent without goto. I can't find it right now though, and it seems it's not an issue for modern c/c++ compilers.
Replies: >>10753 >>10754
>>10749
yeah the optimizer not the compiler, has more to do with what jumping in general does to cpu performance with the main focus of the optimizer being optimizing stupid branching or structure jumps in a way thats better for the cpu like grouping them as close as possible to make them short jumps instead of long jumps that require a different code segment to be loaded and messes with prefetching, goto doesnt have any jump pattern to it theres nothing to discern from it, optimizers just look for patterns so it gimps the optimizers ability to use common tricks for the patterned jump like unrolling the for statements or making jump tables with switch and if/else trees, or just getting rid of trivial branching like things that are just a cmov or some stupid arithmetic you can do with the cmp flags without having to jump
Replies: >>10754 >>10756
>>10749
Well, I'd say it's probably not an issue with modern compilers. Older compilers, sure, but they suck at optimizing many things.
I mean, just look at the LLVM IR, it has no loops, only jumps. The optimizer will build a CFG out of it and operate on the resulting graph, i.e. there should be absolutely no difference between a code using goto and the equivalent code not using it, (Of course, if you produce an irreducible CFG using gotos, that can hurt things, as then you're creating graphs that are impossible to create using structured programming. But in that case, it's not trivial what is the equivalent code using structured programming, and its speed could easily vary a lot in both directions.)
>>10753
Using goto doesn't inhibit any optimizations. Nothing stops a compiler from changing a goto into a cmov or turning a series of if-else into a jump table or reordering the basic blocks, but in practice there might be differences. switches will be usually turned into jump tables, but a series of if-else is usually not. But as I mentioned above, if you have a graph, most of these differences disappear after a few trivial optimizations (you need to turn if (foo) goto bar; into a single conditional jump, and not if (!foo) goto after_if; goto bar; after_if:, but afterwards they're the same). So yeah, there might be differences, optimizers usually have arbitrary limits when they stop optimizing, and if you happen to just push it over the limit with an extra goto it can hurt, but that should be a pretty rare edge case.
In any case, you should write your code for readability, and only mess with such low level optimizations when you really need it!
>>10753
>optimizing stupid branching or structure jumps in a way thats better for the cpu like grouping them as close as possible to make them short jumps instead of long jumps that require a different code segment to be loaded and messes with prefetching
You're talking like it's the 1980s. The stuff you're saying applies to the 8086 and C compilers of the era. 

The 8086 had an instruction prefetcher, it fetched the next instruction into a circular buffer continuously and jumping invalidated it. Today's processors cache blocks of bytes and not the list of instructions to run, jumps don't flush the cache. 

The 8086 had a short jump instruction that could jump an offset that was a signed 8-bit integer, if the code you wanted to jump to was too far, you had to use a long jump which was slower. Today, x64 still has short jumps, but a short jump on x64 is 32 bits, you probably don't have more than 2GiBs of code inside a function. 

Back in the day what statement you used mattered because the compiler was actually looking at your C code and not some sort of IR, so less used constructs got less attention from compiler developers. Today, everything becomes a conditional or unconditional jump in the IR of the optimizer of a modern compiler (basically just GCC and Clang) and goto doesn't generate unusually worse code, just remember that compilers can't reimagine your code, they only try to produce the best assembly of the C you gave them.
Replies: >>10757 >>10758

Reminds me of old BASIC interpreters, where interpreters didn't turn your code into bytecode, but they were executing the actual source code, re-parsing each line every time they got executed. So if you wanted to speed up your code, you had to delete unnecessary spaces, shorten your variable names, and whatever else that would make your code completely unreadable.

Replies: >>10759

Nah, that's not happening. First that would mean the exe file itself would have to be > 2GiB, second compilers no longer like to store code and data at the same place, third the texture is needed by the GPU anyway, and they're usually not *that* stupid to hardcode it into the exe (for one, that's actually harder to do than writing a function that calls fread), two game code and assets are usually done by different departments, so they would just make their own life much harder if they would do that).

AUR distributes binaries compiled by randoms, can have malware, also no guarantee those package won't break the system when installed to it.
Has systemd. Generally takes all the RedHat jewniggercock.
The maintainer-side part of package management system is probably the least automated of all distros, they have to handle library versions and who depends on them manually for instance, so it's prone to human error. Arch in general has absolutely 0 quality control, so its packages are constantly breaking.

>Ubuntu
Also has systemd and generally takes all the RedHat jewniggercock. Has ads in /etc/motd. Is migrating to Snap. Has telemetry.


Remember that a Linux distribution is little more than a set of obligatory packages, a package manager, a repository, and what they require of those packages. i.e. Alpine mandates your libc has to be musl, Debian mandates your init has to be systemd, most distros have a "base" meta package with a set of packages that is the minimum you have to have installed. Debian doesn't build packages with non-executable memory on non-x64, gentoo hardened musl uses the strong stack protector for everything (by default anyway), etc. It's in those details that you're going to find out why a specific distro sucks.

I kind of underestimate how slow it is to do backup through conventional file copying method using file manager. There's no compression optimization in "cp" which is why it is slow as hell.

Last time I've read from some anon post. It was practically slower than binary. It creates overhead because of extra information process from trinary.
>>11011
they do exist theyre just stupid, you get an extra bit thats it, instead of using two transistors you can just use one its just more complicated without any exclusive benefit, weve always been able to just add more transistors so why bother, that extra bit per transistor is a pathetic reward for how much more complicated things become and circuits are inherently binary anyway, its either on or off, ie. high or low voltage which is the principle of how semiconductors work which is the principle of how transistors work which is the principle of how computers work, once you start asking for a voltage profile thats hi/mid/lo youre just over complicating your components and youll need different kinds, and more expensive, transistors since the classic basicbitch mosfets used for literally everything become useless fast when going above the threshold voltage which is the only way youre going to get a third state with off/on/you-fucked-up-turn-me-off-before-my-threshold-degrades-to-zero 

only exception are quantum computers which are naturally ternary because qubits, or whatever they call their stupid phantasm, has three orientations so already base 3

As for Abiword, I kind of like it. For someone who doesn't want a full package bloat from libreoffice and only just want to write nothing but documents, Abiword would serve you well on that. The only problem I had from it was that some of the options were pretty hard to find especially it you're not used to it. The option that you probably looking for is there, is just that you need to pay extra attention on the UI menu.

What is a good protocol to chat with others? There's tox that's pretty secure over tor, but as far as I can tell you can't use it from more than one device and doesn't work if the other peer is not online. IRC is basically the same except you also have to trust the server admin. Matrix can be used from multiple devices and works even if the other person is offline, but encryption support is very flaky, and without that you have to trust both your and the other user's home server's admin (and group chat is a different layer of nightmare, where every metadata about you gets synced to every server that participates in the room). Not sure how well it works over tor.
And of course there are shitloads of proprietary botnet protocols, but I don't want to touch any of them.

XFCE is almost as fat as KDE is, and I'm having problems trying to hook up with a new WM.

-- I don't get along with tiling managers. 
-- I don't want a multi-workspace setup, I just need a way to minimize windows and easily switch between these windows
-- I wanted to use WindowMaker, but it has a ten-year-old bug with steam that makes it unable to move windows around, and that's a deal breaker for me
-- I've been playing with FVWM, but there are some annoying inconsistencies with window functionality that is driving me bonkers, certain programs and functionality won't "stay" when I click on it at times. That and the multi-workspace setup just screws with me.
-- performance is paramount to eye candy, my desktop is old, but not old-enough to where modern software can't run on it, and I want as little drag as I can on the GUI side.

Use LXQt or LXDE (LXDE is lighter) if you want a desktop environment (or just a session manager, everything else can be easily disabled). Default window manager is Openbox, though you can easily change it. 

I use PekWM at the moment, because every tiling window manager was having issues fullscreening certain things, and PekWM is configurable enough that I can make things spawn in the right place if I want to, so it's not too bad. It also tabs (so does Fluxbox), which combined with everything else make it fine enough as a Notion/Ratpoison replacement. Workspaces can be easily removed (though the thing that annoyed you in FVWM may have been viewports, not workspaces). 

If you don't care about tabs (having multiple windows per frame), you can just stick with Openbox, and you're pretty guaranteed to not have issues (though you can simply not use that feature, in the other ones). I remember FVWM having issues fullscreening games, so, maybe the older floaters aren't ideal for that. Anyway, keep in mind that only Fluxbox comes with a functioning bar, out of the box. So, you may want lxpanel, or something else, with something like Openbox.

Maybe try JWM, it's one of the lightest window managers around but has a surprising amount of functionality. You get your standard features like keybindings, menus and window rules, plus a customizable panel which is able to swallow other applications. The only thing that would improve it for me is IceWM-style pixmap theming but that's just an aesthetics thing.

Yes but it's also a bit weird (I can't remember the details). Here is a good article:  https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/complete-guide-mastering-eshell
If you just want to use GNU Emacs as your terminal emulator, use M-x ansi-term  (or term)
Another shell that might interest you is Scheme shell called scsh: https://github.com/scheme/scsh
I have also tried using clisp (the common lisp implementation) as my shell. I followed these instructions: https://clisp.sourceforge.io/clash.html  || https://www.cliki.net/CLISP-Shell (better),  but it wasn't exactly "ergonomic".

Depends on what you expect from it. Eshell has access to both Emacs and shell commands (so it's a shell, but it also works kinda like M-x, and it also uses Emacs' own versions of some commands, like less), but it can't run most interactive commands. You can do that in vterm, which is the best (best performance) more conventional terminal emulator in Emacs, though it's a package, not built-in (and you also need multi-vterm to run multiple). But I wouldn't recommend using any of them except when you really need Emacs integration, because there's no real benefit in doing it otherwise. Other terminal emulators will just perform better. My favorite is Roxterm (it's the best for reasons that most people would not notice or care about), but repos don't have it anymore, so it has to be built from source. It has no sixel support like mlterm does, but that's more of a novelty than something to actually use all the time, and funnily enough, despite being the multi-lingual terminal, it doesn't work super well with an IME because for whatever reason using that option blocks your inputs for a moment when you open it, which is very annoying.

I did the whole "using Emacs for everything" thing in the past (including EXWM), and concluded that it's not the best of ideas, and that you should only use it for what it's better at than anything else. I use it for org, Sly, general programming, and RSS. Also have a custom emacsclient.desktop, with two different actions that I use. One for just spawning a new window from the daemon, and one for using it in a notepad kind of role, from graphical file managers. It opens the file in a new frame, and the buffer itself is killed when the frame is closed.

I tried most of the old window managers, and basically twm just werks for me, and it already comes with Xorg, so that's what I settled on. It helps a lot that the configuration is real simple and has just a single .twmrc file to hand edit. I don't like complicated fancy stuff. Fvwm is more powerful, but the config file is a hell. Mwm doesn't really add any benefits for me.

I should work, but there is a caveat: some games are programmed stupidly and expect a very specific screen resolution, instead of probing for the current screen resolution and scaling to it. This isn't  a problem in X, because games can just run in a window of whatever size. But the tty (at least with /dev/fb0, dunno about /dev/drm0) has a fixed resolution that's set at boot time. On some video cards this can be changed with the fbset command, but that doesn't work with my hardware. So on those stupid games, I have to make sure to configure them for 640x480 (that's what I set my framebuffer for at boot). This can usually be done with CLI parameters and/or editing the game's config file. It's often better to  run a game in X first, so it creates the config file, and sometimes the game has a built-in menu for graphics settings, so you just change it there.
But some games run at only a fixed resolution and I have to edit the code and set it to 640x480 (unless it needs higher resolution, then forget it). Sometimes a little bit of padding is required, if games was programmed for e.g. 640x400 (that's the case for opentyrian).
Now some games are programmed very, very stupidly, and they don't care if the screen isn't correct resolution. They'll just fucking leeeroooy jeeennnkiiiinnns and corrupt your display and then you have to use the Alt-SysRq to kill it. Only problem is is, although the stupid program is killed (and the shell as well, so you get dumpted back to a login prompt) the screen still remains corrupted, at least on my hardware. However, it's still possible to type blindly, and thus login and the run startx or another graphics program that unfucks the video registers. So then it's time to configure that game another way, or change the code, or just forget about it.
Things were ironically much easier when svgalib was the de-facto graphics library for the tty, and when CRTs where the most common display. Because there it would scale to whatever resolution, no problem. I used to run linuxsdoom at the game's native resolution (320x200 upscaled to 320x240 internally). Well my LCD doesn't scale down that low, and anyway fbset doesn't work here. So now I just use Chocolate Doom and it works almost the same, expect it's using extra CPU cycles to upscale the game 2x, instead of just letting the CRT handle it.

My computer is a 32-bit ARM SBC, so it's not very fast. Like all recent ARMs, there's a GPU in this SoC, but the way they packaged the drivers is insane. Well the kernel part is fine, but they also split it into a userspace library, and this never quite worked 100% of the time for me. Sometimes, for no good reason, a program would complain it can't find the OpenGL driver, and would fall back onto Mesa, which is incredibly slow on this hardware. Since I couldn't pinpoint the exact source of the problem, I decided to simplify as much as possible so that everything can be done in software mode. This isn't as fast as hardware OpenGL, but it's much faster than Mesa emulated OpenGL. And more to the point: for the kind of games I'm interested in, software rendering is more than enough, because that's how they were originally written decades ago, before OpenGL became common.
So I boot the system to 640x480 because it's a standard VGA resolution that many old games and emulators support, and doesn't require this relatively slow CPU (by modern standards) to upscale much, or sometimes not at all. For example, pic is Chocolate Duke3D. It runs fine here natively at 640x480. As it should, because it used to run fine on a much slower 486DX/66 with 16 MB RAM, with just a plain SVGA card.
You can also use setfont or loadfont to change the text, but the default8x16.psf at this resolution gives me 80x30 text, which is sufficient for me in most cases.

I mean, I have an RPi 2 laying around somewhere, I tried to connect it to my TV and play some videos, but unless the video is in one of the 3 formats supported by the HW decoder, don't expect to play any video having a resolution larger than 32x32. Also tried to use it for other shit, but then I tried to compile a c file and it took like 2 minutes (when on my desktop it's <1 second). It also doesn't help that the only distro that works on that shit is their snowflake debian variation, which somehow managed to make debian even more insufferable. (I had gentoo on it (mostly by cross-compiling shit to it), but I haven't been able to update the bootloader/kernel on it for two years, because with firmware/newer kernel versions it doesn't boot, and I never been in the mood to fuck around for three days to figure out what its problem is. Newer versions of mpv are also broken, there's two graphics stack, which are completely incompatible with each other, and you can't have both at the same time because you need differently uboot config, etc.).

I can actually afford any computer on the market, but don't want to waste money on modern botnet, and don't want to fund/encourage the production of such hardware. This is the one I chose because it's new enough to be practical (I can get all the shit done I need to), and old enough it's not full of management engine, speculative exection, and the endless x86 bugs (for more info on these, read the papers by Christopher Domas). I didn't go with RPi because it's got that Broadcom video chip that boots before the CPU does, and I don't trust Broadcom very much. ;^)
It can play 480p videos fine with ffmpeg, no OpenGL drivers are needed here. But larger videos that need to be downscaled play back slow. The situation is a little better in X, because there I can use mpv, which does use some of the hardware features for video decoding. But 480p is good enough, and so I always run "youtube-dl -f 18" if I want to watch a video (which isn't very often).
This A20 board was actually more expensive than most others, because it has 2 GB RAM, a dedicated, native SATA bus (not routed through USB like some other boards), and a real VGA port that works well with the old 5:4 LCDs people are trying to get rid of for a few bucks. That's not exactly 4:3 but it's close enough that I can't notice the difference when playing the games and emulators.
Prior to this I used to have some old i386 Thinkpad laptops. I ran various Linux and BSD on those. But although the hardware was capable of 1024x768, I would run the display at 800x600 because that's what I was used to with a 14-inch screen, going back all the way to the 90's. Yeah, sometimes it's useful to have more text on the screen, but like I said you can load different fonts. And if you're not running the tty at 640x480 like I am, you'll already have much larger text consoles. So I don't see this as a big problem. In the 90's there was a program called SVGATextMode to allow more than 80x25 screens, but most BIOS also natively supported bigger text modes like 80x50, sometimes even 132 column modes.

First, when I was in grade 10, I  happened to have a crush on a girl, I was new to social media at the time so she introduced me to it, mainly Instagram, so she asked me to open an Instagram account and download a follower app from the play store on my device to track unfollowers which I thought was useful then

 Second, during late 2018, i got a text which was a weird link by my crush on Instagram and she asked me to click on it, download and install the apk but before doing this she asked me to unlock and open developer options and enable oem unlocking(maybe some more things?, Any theory which I may have done to cause this to happen?) 
There was no sign of the app after installing it 
The app was a known malware(trojan/rootkit ig) and I had to press install anyway because she was insisting me to (The name of the malware had around 3 words, some of them including the word love and girl (I think)
She then told me to delete the apkand then told me not to mess with my  phone (like root it and flash) and forget that it happened 

Later she got to know and told me to never use greenify, VPNs and swipe typing again 
I also told her that I kept some secrets in my phone that I wasnt ready to share,she asked me whether I had stored my secrets in a said space and I said yes and she then stole my phone 
She also did a sim swap with my consent, i even sent my digital identification card to her and (even my fingerprints I think) (I didn't know at the time that it could get this bad and was naive so please ignore this part)

As the year went on I realised that whatever I talked about(my interests) with my friends(some personal) became the talk around the students of the same grade which was strange but ok (maybe my friends were mad)

A year Iater i realised the follower app was also a spy app in because of the unknown logins I saw (crush used it to spy on me and reacted when I removed it) (imo this is redundant to the real malware and prolly used before getting full access if I'm not wrong) and I uninstalled it

A year later I realised the situation was getting worse as I lost contact with my friends and my interests were still being talked about and shared(updated version) so I decided that it may be the apk from before that was doing it and did some surfing and decided to factory reset the phone to close it
Then the sim started getting disabled so I told the complained about the sim swap they said ok but idk for sure, (ik that I could use sim lock but it's cumbersome)

But no, the malware still persisted as my personal media still got circulated and my search history became my enemy(keylogger) (i was slowly realising what I had done) I got to know she knew was I catching on
so after that I kept changing passwords she then logged me out of my password manager (which had all my accounts) and later she even called me to ask if I had a new phone when I stopped using it for sometime

My phone is not rooted and I haven't flashed it 
Then now the only option that was left was to flash it, i took the phone to a repair shop and he flashed it with a stock image without unlocking the bootloader using mi flash tool and now I thought it was finally gone but it wasn't the symptoms persisted and my google account, no backup and  new accounts for everything which was made from scratch only on the phone and told no one after reflashing and a factory reset, it was still getting logins by a Linux laptop (chrome) which is her ( and then it went of prolly due to the malwares features 
I tried to detect it first by using all avs but no luck I tried phone hardening,uad, tried using mobile verification toolkit( its complex), tried factory reset (from recovery also and the settings) and flashed it without unlocking the bootloader
Also is it really necessary to unlock the boot loader?
Some tell that it's needed to unlock bootloader while others don't
And also it can prevent me from posting on some sites(I used a different device and it checked out)
(I know I could buy a new phone but I want a solution) 
Please help me out here as I'm looking for ways to detect and remove it, how it functions, what is it and where I can find more information on this
Also any theories about what could have happened in case I missed it are welcome
Any suggestions which I can use which I may have missed?

Lynx, Links, Links 2, it's all good. But  the font rendering in graphical mode for Links 2 isn't so great at 640x480. It's a big difference from 800x600 (looks much nicer there). Maybe a better option would be w3m, since it uses the nicer console fonts but still shows images without needing an external image viewer.

If they don't have access to the parent folder it's fine. But chmod -R u+rwx should do it most times. Also, permission checking is skipped for root users, so that might be an other option if you do not want to do anything fancy with the files. On linux you can try unshare -r to become root without becoming root...
>>11274
>is it a bad idea to chmod -R 777 
Yes. Use 644 or something.

Looking on ebay, it seems exceptionally hard to obtain somewhat decent hardware for an acceptable price in that country - most offers ship from the US - while in my first world country there are all kinds of offices throwing out ~6 year old office PCs for cheap.

Perhaps any third world anon here have an idea?

Usually one of the cheapest ways to get hardware in the third world is to buy it abroad and then hide it in your luggage while going into the country.

But it's really cool, though. When you configure GNU Emacs, you are literally re-programming the editor, and you are using the same language (elisp) that's used to write most of the core editor functionality. This means that you can edit the .emacs config file and then EVAL-BUFFER and it just works (the config file IS a elisp program). Or you can open elisp evaluation buffer (by default Emacs starts with *scratch* buffer) and you can change the config (you can use SETQ or whatever) and then you can just press C-j to eval it. One of the great things about having a fully dynamic text editor is all of this just works. All of this also applies to Squeak (Smalltalk) and StumpWM as well (it's an extended clone of Ratpoison that's written and configured in Common Lisp).
>https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/index.html

Side-Note: in addition to writing elisp code, you can also record a keyboard macro to automate repetitive text editing tasks: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Keyboard-Macros.html 
tl;dr use F3 to start recording macro and then press F4 to end it. After this, you can use F4 to apply the last macro, You can also edit the keyboard macro as plain text with EDIT-LAST-KBD-MACRO.

Does WINE know to not bother scanning for case-sensitive files in a case-insensitive file system?
Context: https://wiki.winehq.org/Case_Insensitive_Filenames
One of the primary differences between Unix and NT file systems is that file systems traditionally associated with Unix-based operating systems are case-sensitive. This creates a problem for devs who wish to emulate programs designed for case-insensitive file systems in a case-sensitive file system, since this necessitates scanning for every possible case-sensitive permutation of a file name. A solution is to run emulated programs, through emulators such as WINE, in a case-insensitive file system. However, I have no idea if WINE is calibrated to skip the process of scanning for case-sensitive files when the file system it is scanning is case-insensitive. Otherwise, setting up a case-insensitive file system for Windows programs, such as NTFS, kinda defeats the point.
Replies: >>11655 >>11657
>>11654
>this necessitates scanning for every possible case-sensitive permutation of a file name

It doesn't though, all you have to do is a case insensitive comparison of the filenames. If WINE actually does what you describe, it's broken.

The correct way would be to use the scandir() function on each directory in the path, with a comparison function that matches filenames case insensitively, recursing into each directory in the path, until you open the basename of the path.

Slower than simply using open() on the given filename, but I bet doing this on your typical Unix is still faster than not doing it on Windows. I'm curious about what WINE does now, not enough to browse the source code.
Replies: >>11656
>>11655
whatever, the point still stands, it's still an extra step--scandir() is probably very resource consuming--and if, by some easy mistake, there are two directories that share the same case-insensitive name, then WINE would have to scandir() both directories.
Replies: >>11657
>>11654
Wine first tries to open the path as-is, and only if it gets an error it tries to scan directories along the path, so looking up existing files on a case insensitive FS shouldn't incur any directory scanning.
But if you need to prove that a file doesn't exist, well in that case it will still scan. It could avoid the scan if wine would know about case insensitive FS, but it doesn't.
>>11656
>scandir() is probably very resource consuming
It is, but after the first time checking a file in a directory, the linux kernel will cache the directory in the memory, so subsequent scans shouldn't be that slow. And given how horribly inefficient the whole FS implementation on wangblows is, I wouldn't be surprised if most cases wine would be still faster, even with all that extra directory scanning.
Replies: >>11665
>>11657
So basically you're saying that the problem with WINE scanning case-insensitive file systems is proving a file DOES NOT exist?
So when you try to find files in a case-insensitive file system on Linux the case-insensitive file system will automatically correct for capitalization, no recursive scanning on WINE's end necessary?
Replies: >>11666
>>11665
>case-insensitive file system will automatically correct for capitalization
Yes, that's why it is a case-insensitive fs. (They'll likely have the B-trees made on lowercased/casefolded filenames or something like that, so all lookups will be case-insensitive automatically).
Back to wine, it can't really check for case-insensitive filesystems, since the Linux kernel doesn't really have that notion, it's only an implementation detail of some FS. Yes, it could check the mounted FS type, but that would require updating every time a new case-insensitive FS is added to the linux kernel. And you also have FUSE.
Plus an other problem, case-insensitivity is simple as long all you care about English. If you add internationalization to the mix, things get messy pretty fast. Unicode changes its case-folding algorithm with every new version, which is something you can't really do with FS (unless you want shit like two names are considered different by version n, then by n+1 if you consider them the same, you could end up with two files with the same name in a directory.) Also fun stuff, i and I are the same character in every language, except Turkish, where i and İ are the same characters (and you have ı as a pair of I). Or German, uppercase ß is generally SS. Should they be the same in filenames too? All this shit means that there can be subtle differences between different case-insensitive filesystems.

I've been pointed to trying out protontricks, but I've looked into it and protontricks requires installing winetricks, which requires WINE--too much stuff when I already have Valve's sandboxed version of WINE on my hard drive. There's gotta be a way to do this without having to fucking install five different fucking versions of WINE. I don't know why it doesn't just use one sandboxed c-drive per steamlibrary instead for every goddamned game.
Out of curiosity I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to run the installer through Steam as a "non-Steam game" and it accessed a c-drive which I'm pretty sure is the c-drive for proton itself; I don't know why it has a separate c-drive, that seems even more inefficient from an amateur computer programmer's perspective, but maybe that's just a template?
Whatever, I have to do this manually, but there's gotta be a way to just run the exes.

Simple. Just use the same wine prefix.
>I tried to run the installer through Steam
Pirate the game and use Lutris. No fucking idea how Steam works. I stopped using Steam while I was still using Windows.
Apparently the kiwifarms had a hardware error and all four of their NVME raid drives failed at once.  Jersh in his retard autisim just says they were in raid format and failed.

I am curious as to what everyone thinks of this failure was? Troons/CIA messing with him? Too dumb to setup raid properly? Or his forum is shit just like IN. Apparently he stated that the reaction emojis may have caused the crash... to which someone suggested he git gud at sql.

RAID can mean multiple things. You can set up raid for redundancy with copies or parity drives, or you can set raid for partitioned data which makes things faster by splitting data across drives but kills everything if any drive dies. 
If that's the Josh I'm thinking of there's a non zero probability he fucked up and went with partition raid only without any redundancy.

That reminds me, RAID is also not a backup system like some people mistakenly believe. It's possible the retard overwrote information on all drives without proper backups.

lmao Jersh has so many enemies even his storage is conspiring against him.
I've archived the links for everyone to laugh at in case the farms goes down again. Ghostarchive giving me some issues today though. Pardon the plebbit spacing.
Some farmer with his autism seemed to have tracked down the exact model lol. Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN620?

Have an archive of his "postmortem" analysis.
>The Kiwi Farms went down at approximately 5:30am EU. The database locked up unexpectedly and the site became unavailable.
>@CrunkLord420 correctly identified it was a disk issue, so I called in the two guys who help me manage our storage array ("raid"). 
>They diagnosed that all four enterprise raid NVMe harddrives had failed simultaneously, which wiped out the entire database and all forum software. I verified we had a fresh copy of the backup and a recent-ish backup of the actual software.
>I had two options moving forward:
>1) Pull out remote hands on a US Saturday night and have them determine if the drives can be salvaged and overnight parts to fix whatever has actually broken, or
>2) Completely reinstall the entire forum on a different raid until we can do #1 and then move it later.
>I decided to go with #2 as the faster but more laborious option, which is why we've had data rollback.
>This is was very close to a total nightmare scenario where the server would be completely destroyed. I've reinstalled the Kiwi Farms so much at this point that I know the procedure very well, and it only took about 7 hours, where most of that was just waiting on the database to import over 120,000,000 post stickers.
>Anyways, sorry, we're back up. Let me know if there's any weirdness. I'll get chat up in a bit.

>Made an account to clarify things. I'm the dude that helps Null with this stuff when he needs it. No, I don't monitor the server cause it's Null's. But maybe I'll setup some stuff for Null to monitor stuff including drive health.
>The storage on the server use ZFS pools. The SATA SSD array (SNEED Pool) bypasses the RAID Controller and is entirely JBOD passthrough.
>The 4 x NVMe drives are U.2 drives in the front and are in FEED ZFS Pool. The backplane handles SATA, SAS, and U.2. U.2 has it's own area for those drives and connects to the motherboard with a OCuLink cable to a JNVMe header.
>The 4 x 1.6TB WD Ultrastar DC SN620 NVMe U.2 drives disappeared from the server last night. But before that, the kernel reported write errors to one of them.
>There are a few reasons this could have happened, from most likely to less likely:
>- BIOS/UEFI Firmware stopped communicating with the NVMe drives. This happened with a certain BIOS setting when it was initially setup
>- The drives actually died from the workload. Unlikely considering these can handle 1.7 Drive Writes per day. But very feasible. >These are 2nd hand enterprise drives
>- The backplane/JNVMe headers exploded. Super unlikely
>The drives are likely still alive, and the server's firmware probably took a shit.
>We need to inspect the server's BIOS settings or possibly even update the firmware. Then we can determine if the drives are toast or useless.
>There was no foul play at hand here. At best a firmware bug, at worse, the drives sudoku'd.
Lmao nigga doesn't even monitor his server? I'd have a 24hr camera pointed at it in case it got gayopped by troons-in-waiting with explosives mounted to it just in case.

His dumbass is trying to find someone to sue dong jones (tangential to this thread). I await the shitshow that is.
Completely unrelated, but does anyone have any experience with running a MIPS/RISC-V based SOC for a NAS or router? I'm thinking of picking up a chinkware one and seeing how it performs. Just watch me find dozens of hardware backdoors planted by the chink glows instead of CIA ones.

This.
After I uninstalled openjdk and all its dependencies my computer stopped skipping the grub boot menu. There's no reason for this, it still boots fine, but it still won't skip the grub menu, even if the GRUB_TIMEOUT is set to 0.

These are the packages I removed? Could these be the cause?

I don't think brickface is dumb enough to pay for DDOS with his own cards but you never know.

I'm not trying to flame but I had a lot of trouble with Fedora when I used it. It was a while ago (during Fedora 19-22) but the issue was that Fedora (more accurately Yum/DNF) would nuke GRUB when I tried to upgrade to next release (keep in mind that the only officially supported way to upgrade was to (re)install the new release form iso, back then). Also, Rawhide never worked for me for the same reason. I suggest you try either Arch Linux or Void Linux (depending on whether you want SystemD or not). Debian testing is also okay for PC use-case (Debian stable is excellent for servers but not very good for desktops or laptops). Arch Linux has archinstall installer now (I can recommend using it) but I heard that EndeavourOS is also fine, if you are looking for a easy-to use distro that's based on Arch.

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

can you stop and just ignore everything that you hear if its coming from a fucking nigger, complete idiot this has been possible since fucking forever idiot, you draw and design the ic layout and send it to a foundry which prints it out, this is literally how intel made their shit until 2000 and how their designs got stolen by competitors every time like cyrix which were just tards working at the ibm foundry that intel sent their designs to
also this is totally useless for homelame, you can buy a 6502 for $5 what fucking idiot is going to waste their time with this just to make a knockoff of something that you can already buy for peanuts, you want a processor buy a processor like holly shit

Is there another way to access the archive.org files that's not via the WWW? Like some other simpler protocol that doesn't suck? Gopher comes to mind. FTP would even work, I guess.

All of them are http or WWW if you are comparing with Gopher and ftp. Not sure what you are on.

Unfortunately IA's no-JS capabilities have deteriorated over the years and the lite version (actually a recent addition) has been timing out for the past couple of months. Chances are they aren't even aware that it's broken, if you contact [email protected] that might get them to do something. Alternatively I believe felinks has some sort of JS support, maybe that will work?

Kek, it's been broken that long, huh. Yeah I saw "lite version" and thought hey that's new! I also know they have .torrent files but they're on the broken web server. xD
