Repost.

Center button broke and fell out when I dropped it. Hitting the center does nothing, is there any way to salvage this?

Anyone else having to deal with an utterly broken captcha since a couple days? It's literally unuseable at this point for me, either it gives me impossible ones to solve (basically it marks out the browser client) or it gives me the green check mark and then the board software acts up saying i ""mistyped"" it

Only when i switch over to private mode can i even post normally

It's getting very tiresome at this point

What could i do against this without (!sic) resetting the profile (which i did just the other day) or anything like that

I have a single USB thumb drive and want to connect it to two computers at the same time. As far as I understand USB this should be impossible. But is there a device like pic related that can at least switch the connection between the two computers at the press of a button? Pic related is for keyboards and mice but it should work for storage too, right? I just want to transfer files directly because there is no network option available.

Please advise.

Are there any decent ac wireless routers out there that will allow me to upgrade the antennas? Can anyone recommend any replacement antennas that would work with ac?

First, to make it work you are not supposed to just hit it, you need to short two contacts in the middle.
Second, yes, you can order replacement and, well, replace it.

Is the Jow Forums archives dead?

>you need to short two contacts in the middle.
How do I do that?

It's called KVM and it does exactly that.

That hyperlordosis.

Having severe back issues by 40 is not an attractive feature.

You can't just connect a Cat5e cable to both PCs and transfer the data that way?

See two silvery circles, one inside the other? Take a flathead screwdriver or a piece of tinfoil and touch both at the same time. Congratulation, you just shorted a circuit!
Now, watch what are you doing: if you touch any other contact at the same time, you will burn your shit down. Contacts are silver or copper or brass-colored spots on PCB.

Why does he has three tits?

Thanks, I thought so.

Wiring is not the issue. I simply do not have permission to install software on the second computer, meaning I cannot install a file sharing server. However USB is enabled.

just get a couple usb ethernet adapters

Attached: a.png (443x227, 34K)

>here
But it only has three stars, user!

and to be clear, yes, you can do;
pc > usb eth > eth cable > usb eth > pc
without a router or switch
they show up as regular ethernet adapters, give them both a static ip like "10.1.1.1" and "10.1.1.2", then you can reach the other machine on it's IP to do regular windows file sharing, ftp, etc

You don't need a server to transfer files over a direct connection, nor do you need to install anything.
As long as you can assign each device a static IP in the same subnet and range, (and if on Windows, you have the ability to share a folder,) you can directly transfer data.

What're your guys' torrent client of choice?

I used to use uTorrent, but have since deleted it after finding out it was a Chinese botnet

it appears to be a story file for the TADS interactive fiction system
you need to look for an editor for that format
see tads.org/

I just want to open the gam. file so I can play the game

oh, just to use the file you'll need an interpreter
see ifwiki.org/index.php/Interpreter under the "TADS" column

Goddamn. I've started up computers with a screw driver and this never occurred to me. I'll just tape a small bit of foil down and I'm good. Thanks a ton user pretty happy right now.

Can anyone recommend a free proxy that isn't a virus/botnet pretty please? :3

Recently came into possession of a Dell optiplex 3050 micro. Is there any way I could get a graphics card running with it, be it internal or external. Doesn't have to be anything new, just would like to turn it into a dedicated warcraft machine, so even something thats 4years old or so will do!

No thunderbolt 3 connection available

Why does it seem like pointing devices are limited to a max of maybe nine buttons/inputs and then any additional buttons/inputs require manufacturer software to get working properly?

Can't these just be read as more mouse buttons by the given OS?

What’s so special about thinkpads?

>Dell optiplex 3050 micro
Nope. There is no PCIe slot at all.

They are:
>cheap and easily available, since businesses buy/replace them by the trainload
>durable and easy to repair, with a readily available teardown manual
>easy to run Linux on, compared to many laptops
>capable of using libreboot, for some models, giving you a free-down-to-the-firmware machine for much less than purism charges
>much more pleasant to type on than many recent laptops (again, some models)
>thick, black, and arousing

guys is there a name for games that are played in the console (I mean stdout console, not xbox or something), simply written games? Maybe not really a thing to ask on Jow Forums, but I don't know where else to ask and would like to play such game and maybe develop my own

text adventure? like Zork?

also, there's plenty of textmode games, but presumably you mean linemode games, that is, just lines of text, one after another, not pseudo-graphical text games like zzt

wow, both look cool, thanks

What's a simple text editor for Android that's not a bloated piece of shit?
I just want something like Notepad.

Is there a way to rip the local files that spotify downloads to your phone? They must be saved on my phone somewhere and I'm wondering if I can just get .mp3 or otherwise files from the software.

Break up tasks into tiny pieces and interleave them like Pulp Fiction did to not be boring. Also use something like org-mode to keep track of things and set goals.

I have a perl script for that, do you want it?

sure, though how do i use it? never used perl before

Are the current issues with Intel really that bad or are people just fanboying?

Save this as sorter.pl at the root of the D drive
You need to install perl (strawberryperl for windows, already installed for linux) and call it from console from the folder you want to sort like this: C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe D:\sorter.pl h

back where? I've been here 14 years, reddit boy.

Forgot the script:

how do I make linux inherit user permissions? I have 4775 mask on everything but when a some users write new data it gets set as 4755? I want group write because all the users are on the same group
I've read like 300 web pages and that's where I learned 2775 and 4775 etc but nothing seems to do it..

That's kinda sad

t. redditor

do you want permissions to be inherited by from the directory or be specific to the user

chmod u+s //set uid
setfacl -d -m g::rwx / //set group to rwx default
setfacl -d -m o::rx / //set other

I need to rip some CDs as MP3s, MP3s because I'm doing it for a friend who doesn't care about lossless archival, what program to use on windows?

i hope you dont mind open source software running on your proprietary brick
freac.org/

so I have to use ACL?
people said it could be done without it but maybe not. I'll enable it

can you describe a little bit more what your trying to do? i may have another answer

whats a good android to pc file sync program used at home over wifi? looking to quickly sync music videos to my phone from home computer. i think itunes does it but no thanks.

syncthing

syncthing works very well over LAN and WAN, it'll auto switch to whatever is the best. Unlike dropbox which sends shit to their server then back to your computers. syncthing won't use any internet at all if it doesn't have to

use

alright I'm going to try it.
I have
UUID=1b8ac891-0ef9-41dd-8ac7-a3ef1fb842b3 /storage ext4 defaults,relatime,rw 0 0

I just need to add "defaults,acl,relatime,rw" correct?

Awesome!! thanks guys I think that did it, so far so good!

I have one last question, I normally use:
ls -thal
I see it has a + sign, is there a good command that shows the same level of detail but also the ACL info?

Also is the
setfacl -d -m g::rwx / //set group to rwx default

recursive for every directory in that directory?

thanks again!

In cmus, how do I play the contents of an entire folder?
I press 5 to take me to the folder hierarchy, and it only plays one track at a time when I press space on the track. How do I make it so that it plays all of the tracks in the folder?

Seems like my iPod touch 5th gen has finally bitten the dust, after several years of laggy service.
I'm now looking for something to replace it. I liked the UI but I found its capacity (32GB) wanting because of my music collection expanding. Also, my headphones are Beyerdynamic Custom Studios (80 ohms). Any recommendations?

>install Violent- or Tampermonkey
>get 4chanX

>activate "Captcha Fixes" (only works with Tampermonkey right now)
No more fading tiles or unsolvable captchas. With captcha fixes you can also use your keyboard to solve it.

>only works with Tampermonkey right now
Nope, werks with violentmonkey too. It's Greasemonkey that can't do it.

weird mine plays them all by default
if you press 7 is the option there?

I think maybe "continue" is set to false for you

>recursive for every directory in that directory?

Anyone familiar with LaTeX and bibtex?

How do I prevent the new page? Everything is under a /chapter{Bibliography} which is also put on a single page.

What happened here? Should I be concerned

Did they finally fix it? Nice. Might switch back to Violentmonkey then.

How do I open an empty json file in python?

Reposting because I'm an idiot and fell asleep last night

I'm having some HDD problems.
See, I have both a SSD (as my primary drive) and a HDD (secondary ofc), but sometimes when I turn on my PC and try to open up anything stored in the HDD, it's awfully slow, it can take minutes to even open some Word document.
To fix the problem, I turn off PC, open the case and unplug/replug the SATA cable end going to the motherboard, more often than not it only takes doing that once to fix.
Anyone knows why this piece of shit does that? HDD is 1TB and not even half full.

HDD is a Seagate internal one.
Process manager shows no disk usage unless I start any operation, in which it spikes up to 98% or so
Tried with a different SATA port on the motherboard and a different SATA cable altogether, no dice.

are you the guy with the 80gb swap file?
