How to add more space to a partition for linux?

How's your partitioning?
Try Gparted.

/boot 50GB /home 27GB /root
Literally cucked myself with low storage. I would give gparted a try but i'm just wondering if there's anyway to add more storage to the partitions in windows since I dual boot. Running out of space unfortunately.

Oops I meant /root 50

can a nas encrypt partitions on an hdd and share it with a password using smb2/3? I only used smb1 on a rebranded chink router so far so I don't really know what a nas can do

Hey gents, so I finally decided to start learning C. I recently ran up Codeblocks and started a console project and am currently using the GNUCC Compiler.
#include

main()

{
printf("hello, world\n");
printf("hello, world");
}


So when I run it up, it only displays the first hello world or printf.
When I copy the same code and try it on a website debugger, it shows the two printfs.
I can't understand whats going on. Please help.

>wangblows

not even kidding

Because of all the background processes wangblows runs.

It could be a ton of things. Try running an fflush(1) between the two prints. Also, that's void main() right?

I tried along with return 0, still same.

What is the difference between a http and a socks proxy?

Not the most efficient way, but you could copy the content in excel, set /, (, and ) as separator characters, and end up with original, English, and French title in 3 separate columns
Then you simply do a concatenate according to your needs

How do CPU's physically process machine code?

Your force lightning in to a rock and make it do complex math

how does it do this though, I understand there are billions of tiny electrical switches in the CPU, but how do they actually work?

On a scale of Antarctica to Chernobyl, how hot is this build going to get?

>Intel i3 4150 @ 3.5GHz
>EVGA GTX 960
>SeaSonic 850W PSU
>Noctua NH-L9i CPU heatsink

CPU and heatsink are directly underneath the PSU with a couple centimeters of clearence between the two. The only real exhaust in the case is from the PSU fan in the back.

Will attach pic to next post

Holy crap. I've never seen such a singularly overpowered PSU in a build.

You should have led with that pic. That is... and unfortunate combination you go there. I could easily see heat throttling on that card, and a non zero chance of the system shutting down on hot days. I would have gone for one of the compact models built for that kind of case.

i'm surprised you could get it down to 1.5gb at all

That case is gonna fuck your thermals, stop being a jew and get a shitty $10 case with better air flow. While you're at it, you may as well get a more efficient PSU, there is no way this system is drawing more than 230-250 watts.

Reposting from /hpg/

Got some open back headphones, and a mod mic.
Due to low power from my motherboard, I have to boost the gain quite substantially. (100% volume, +30dB)
That gets my voice to a audible level, but playing some music in a discord call, my friends could hear my music playing through the mic.

Enabling "noise suppression" and "acoustic echo cancellation" cuts out a fair amount of the noise pollution, but still beyond what I consider acceptable.

On top of that, enabling either one of these settings makes the microphone quality sound awful, like a wal mart gaymer headset mic.

Not the best comparison, I'm aware. But it does give a general idea of the "muffle" it introduces.

I'm going to be getting a pretty basic usb audio interface in the mail before long as I believe my low volume is due to the above stated phantom power issue, but I can't see how this would help with noise pollution.

Is stupid to match a 2600x plus 1060 with a 550w psu?

The other day on a soft reboot two *.bat files ran on my Win10 computer.

Is there any way to find out what the hell they were or what happened?

Basically there were two cmd/dos windows that popped up for half a second behind an email program that is scheduled to run on startup. They haven't been before or since and I have no idea what they were, or were attached to.

What do?

Anons please help. I'm doing a clean reinstall of my Windows 10. Having backed up everything I needed, and booted from a USB flash, I have come to the partition part.
There are 3 partitions. One partition of the system 500 MB, one of 1 TB and the last one which is an OEM and around 540 MB.

My question is: I will delete every partition and make them anew. Should I also delete the OEM one?
All 3 of them have occupied space, especially the 1 TB one.

Thanks.

Windows 7 task bar has these options for icons:
>Always combine, hide labels
>Combine when full
>Never combine
How can I get a "Combine when full, hide labels"?

what is the OEM of your computer?
What were your drives and what was on them?
Dell and others will have recovery shit in that 540MB, the 500MB is a Win10 reserved partition for bootmanager.

Pretty sure you can just eviscerate both of them, but don't be surprised when the 500mb one comes back on install.

you've been ratted user

>in some places
such as?

I'd just delete them all and let windows do it's thing as far as partitioning is concerned. also for installing all the software you use fairly quickly and easily, look into chocolatey

I use an external usb plug (110v to USB phone charger) to power my headset, the audio jacks are the only thing plugged into my case. Don't know if that helps but it's something to try eliminating the power problem.

Certain web pages, for example in play-pokemonshowdown-com,
the chat is now being rendered in grayscale AA and the rest of the page is still on subpixel,
the developer reportingly didn't change anything.

While installing win10, delete them all, and make the new partitions there. Leave 500mb for system partition windows will create it automatically.

Attached: iVqZI3Y.jpg (606x391, 40K)

So:
1) Delete them all
2) Create the minimum Win10 500 MB system partition
3) Create a second one with the rest of the space

Isn't the OEM in case of a system recovery? Do I need it?
Again, thanks.

ok I got as far as Remote Access Trojan but I can't find anything. Going through processes and installed programs now.

>OEM in case of a system recovery?
it's like Dell specific files. if you'er using Dell disks (or whatever) to recover then you need it. If you're using your own version of win10 then you shouln't need it.

I'm working on a data structure in Java and had a quick question; I need to take in arbitrarily typed key-value pairs and put them in buckets. I planned on using hashing and modulus to put them in the right place, but I'm concerned about collisions/false positives. Should I store the original, unhashed key in addition to the value in the structure for verification purposes? Does that create a lot of overhead?

If I load up a RPi with personal python scripts and plug it in at the office so it'll run 24/7 and someone found out, would it be bad?

What are the odds they'd find it?

pretty nice idea though thanks mate i will try to make it work!

Anyone?

physical or on screen keyboard? if physical then time for a different phone, if onscreen try a different keyboard app?

>What are the odds they'd find it?
Make it so it connect after work hours, spoofing someone else's MAC address.
This would minimize the odds, what will you be using it for?

For C++ I recommend C++: The Complete Reference by Herbert Schildt.
Don't take it as the holy bible on all parts of the language as he's a notorious hack, but for learning the fundamentals of both C and C++ it's fantastic. Very well worded.

and stick to just C++ since you can't tell the others apart

do they have a beginners' Posting in Tibetan Noodle Macramé Forums class?

there probably isn't, but some random string seems like it might be. just encode it as something else then try turning that back to webm. if that doesn't work try changing your settings for the webm encode for that one file.

I get that with copy/pasta images directly from the web. no idea why but resaving them usually fixes it.

in todays job market where virtually everyone has a degree of some sort, an associates isn't really worth much. I'd say go for your certs instead. but honestly the electrician thing would be the better route. you'll be making about the same or more money as you would in i.t. you'll be earning longer, and you won't have to pay for college. if you take the long view and think about retirement some day that seems the best route to me. when I was younger I made good money but was stupid with it and didn't worry about the future, so now that I can't work disability is all I've got to rely on

its a felony that i can have reduced to a misdemeanor in 3 years i'm only 22 though so i'm pretty bummed about this going on my record. So i'm very concerned about my future
what do you mean by earning longer?

Is the NT140WHM-N41 (v8.0) panel compatible with the Lenovo T440? If not, where can I find a list of compatible screens?

okay, thank you. I will probably redo that one webm again.

I mean that the time you would spend in college is time you could spend as a paid apprentice through the electricians union if you qualify. so not only would you not have to pay for college but you'd be getting paid for work during that time, and paid fairly well
