Users can read your IP by connecting to you on Skype. Is there any VoIP service that doens't have this flaw?

why do stallman and fsf use '.org'?

they are an orginization

>that doens't have this flaw?
Can you explain me how it's a flaw in the first place ?
Also, if you're using skype, privacy isn't your primary concern I guess ?

the ones that add some latency due to relaying.

i believe SIP is not p2p

I want to make phonecalls from a mobile device without being geographically traceable.

How to enable 32 bit mode in x86 assembly?

>ones that add some latency due to relaying
thank you. what does this mean?

>I believe SIP is not p2p
So if it isn't p2p, then it doesn't make my IP available to other users?

Is there any mouse similar to the Logitech G700 in button layout and features? Specifically I'd like wireless with wired charging over USB, dual-mode scroll wheel (mechanical toggle clicky or frictionless scrolling as needed) is pretty nice, similar number of buttons (this thing has four on left side, three top left corner, normal three click actions, left/right wheel tilt, and one on the far back that I never use since it's positioned uncomfortably, all the rest I use constantly and bind useful functions for whatever program I'm using really)

not possible, at least not in any way that /sqt/ will be able to help you with. mobile devices always know where you are.

Here's the button layout along with default key mappings I use for reference, of course changes based on applications in different profiles or AHK keybinds sometimes (since I think AHK's context sensitivity is sometimes more responsive than Logitech's auto-profile switcher so I often prefer to use that over making a new profile)

if the call is peer to peer (p2p), it means that you connect to the other party directly, exposing each other's IP. if the call is not p2p it means that your voice will travel through a relay server and then to your destination (this is what you're asking for). if the call is going through a delay there may be more latency.

i think i was wrong about sip being peer to peer, sorry.

thinking about it, i'm not sure about skype being p2p or not either, some years ago some people published that microsoft moved the skype protocol from p2p to client server. you could use skype over a vpn.

Thanks but someone is helping me here far as I can tell.

If I use a VoIP that doesn't give away my IP to peers (not sure if that is a contradiction or not), then the only people who will be able to trace me are fags who have my phone number.

>VPN
>client server, not p2p
Thanks, man. Do you think Google will take it from here, or is there anything else I should know?

My left Apple inc. earbud keeps making a farting sound in my ear. How do I end this problem? Has anyone here experienced this problem?

i'm not really sure what spy games are you playing, but the only way to make sure that your location will not be traceable is to use a vpn with a killswitch, meaning that your connection will drop if your vpn drops, instead of exposing anything. you will need to pay for a vpn.

Alright, I don't know if I should ask this here or maybe on /mu/ or even Jow Forums but what's a good alternative to Itunes? I just don't want to use their shitty services anymore but don't know another good program to replace it with.

do you want to replace the local player or the streaming platform? macos or windows?

So I have a virtual keyboard (composer).
fucker starts acting up, all E and Bb keys stop working after E4, I;m going to try cleaning with compressed air right now but since it affects all octaves after of E/Bb I'm thinking it's something else.

I'm using Windows and I use Itunes as a local player/store atm. That's what I want to replace. I don't really stream music. I just use it right now for storage and to buy music from time to time, although I'm starting to just go to sites like bandcamp more and more and buying it straight from the source.

A killswitch. Thanks for that bit of info. Apparently Private Internet Access (TM) has a killswitch, but some users have problems with it.

Update: cleaning with compressed air did not help

check out musicbee (freeware), foobar (freeware), clementine (free software) or musikcube (free software) are some options that i know of. there are many more.

I created a few different accounts on Discord the previous week. It began to ask for mobile verification to proceed using the account. And now it outright denies the mobile number exists. So I'm locked out from creating new accounts.

There is no additional information. Just "Your phone number is invalid".

Anyone have any suggestions how to solve or bypass this problem?

I don't have much respect for Discord. I'm mostly there for light trolling. Incidentally what disposable email addresses do Discord accept?

Let's say you have an image with text overlaid on top of it, and then the same image without the text, is it possible to subtract the background image leaving only the text? How would you go about doing so?

Want to do so for batch processing a bunch of images for OCR purposes. Thought it might work somehow fucking with transparency/inversion or whatever but I can't get it quite right.

I have the same problem and the same router, but in my case, the problem was due to a port being damaged, and detected activity even if there was no cable connected and this did not respond, repair it by shorting the port and so it works correctly , Do not you have any problem with a port?

For each pixel put abs( color1 - color2 ) on black bg and normalize result image afterwards. Thats if images are exactly the same apart from text. Otherwise you will need to do size and offset corrections first.

It's also happening on my phone connected to the home network.
But I can access the site if I switch to mobile data on all browsers (ff/chrome).

Any recs for a new (free) active AV? On Win 10, Windows Defender is too shit and I was using Avast but that's been progressively becoming bloatware over the past few years and when it decided to up and flag my KMS and MS Toolkits as viruses and refuse to accept exceptions for them last night I decided to say fuck it and uninstalled. I've heard good things about Kaspersky in recent years, is their product still good? Please no AVG rec, used them some years back before I found Avast and they were pretty terrible.

by who ? the software ? you can eleminate any proprietary software.
The other people ? framatalk.org/

Try out MSE.

no but I have done some
it's shit

Yeah, people are retarded, but do something you like. Life shouldn't be that painful.

Try it, maybe you'll like it

MSE is pretty shit too, I thought? It was installed on some work PCs on a site I used to run some years back and it was always missing viruses or malware that a combination of Avast and Malwarebytes (Avast active, Malware scan only when something's screwy) would turn up. But that was 2014, Avast was still somewhat decent then.

You really don't need to run an active antivirus if you're smart with adblockers, although it is nice to have something like Malwarebtyes in case something fucks up. Hopefully someone else can input something about the quality of MSE.

a hot chick logged onto WoW with my laptop and now i have her email. What can i do with this to get her nudes. She is the type of person to have nudes

Well I do have ADP, UMatrix, and uBlock running on my browser, but it's good to have something active just in case. I do like my porn after all and I do sometimes end up in sketchy sites if I'm looking for rare music or something. Then again according to the virus chest last time I had a file with a real virus (i.e. likely not a false positive) was late 2017 and before that nothing. Well Kaspersky offers a free version now so I'm going to try that for now, but thanks for the responses.If anyone knows something better though please still let me know.

I suggest you drop ADP (redundant with the other ones you have) and pick up NanoDefender for uBO.

Send her your nudes, then she will have nudes. They will be the same nudes you have, therefore you have her nudes.

how do i backtrace it to acess the mainframe of her nudes

Alright I'll check out NanoDefender, thanks man

I'm trying to download something.
Every single download link is dead.
So best thing I can do is go to a streaming site, inspect element and find the source and download (save as) from there. However every time I try the file isn't even the correct file nor is it even the correct size (2kb usually).
How do I download something from the source?
This is the file I want to download:

just really small freelance work that can be done in less than a week for about 1-2hrs/day (i.e. after work hours and on weekends). Just checked on freelancer and upwork, most of the posts i usually see take 1 or more months to complete.

Nowadays I only have a few tabs open in Firefox, but something makes the fan act up. As in, the CPU fan goes into overdrive as if it's being overclocked when it isn't. CPU usage, physical memory, and CPU temperature are rather low yet it's only when I close Firefox does it calm down.

I doubt it's normal, but is it? I don't like having to close Firefox because who knows if it'll restore my tabs (Quantum doesn't have an answer to Session Manager as far as I know).

I'm trying to delete a folder but keep getting this message. I am the sole user of the PC and am listed as an Administrator, but I cannot delete this folder. Windows 10 btw.
Anybody know how to solve this?

Attached: access denied.jpg (446x249, 24K)

Even if you're listed as administrator sometimes you need to run as administrator to get admin privileges. You could either take ownership of the folder and then delete or try to run an elevated command prompt and delete using the command line, either one should work

>take ownership of the folder
Won't even let me do that.
I've tried logging in as the built-in administrator and it's no longer showing the Admin symbol next to the Delete option, but I'm still getting the same error as initially.
I don't know if it's relevant, but this is AVG, an antivirus software which I'm getting rid of because of its intrusiveness and the strain it was putting on my PC when running in the background.

So I'm a moron and tried to print a pdf with personal information on a public computer (the document had my name and SS; it was on the public computer at the hotel I work at). I had the pdf saved on a USB stick. I'm almost positive I only opened it and didn't actually save it to the computer. It automatically opened in Microsoft's web browser (either Edge or explorer). I then printed the document. Is there anything I should do to the system to ensure the information / file is destroyed?
