Previous thread:
I wonder what she smells like.
So I'm using KeePass 2 to manage my passwords on my desktop at home. I also have a laptop for travel, a desktop at work, and my Android phone.
I'd like to synchronize the databases between the different devices as easily as possible. My current plan is shown in the picture.
Is there an easier way to do this?
I am going to test this out later today and let you know how it worked out, but any input is appreciated. Any common pitfalls I should think about?

Hello Jow Forums
I'm working at a non-tech small company, and here everyone is using a fuckton of Excel spreadsheets to do everything.
I think we should be using a proper database.
We have things like purchase/billing histories, and I don't see how that can be managed using normal spreadsheets.
I am more or less dexterous with technology. I can learn SQL or whatever I need. What I don't know is how to actually implement it.
I know there is specialized software for doing these sorts of things (ERPs, ...) but they usually feel sluggish and tedious, they need training for the end-user and they can cost a lot of money.
I want to make something simple, that my workmates can use like they have always done with their shitty Excel spreadsheets. If possible, it should run on a server so that we also end the mail attachments madness.
Anyway to take photos and protect my phone from the cold?
I went hiking last year in Japan but my phone would shut off from the cold, I'd have to hold it in my jacket with a can of hot tea
The battery would dry as it got colder until it turns off, warming it with tea "charged" it up.
Same thing was happening to relative's iPhone

I'm trying to setup https for a web server on my home network. I'll never access it from outside. I'm getting an error similar to this on all browsers I've tried. I can simply ignore the error and procede to the website. My question is, when ignoring the error, am I still using/protected by https?

Extending: excel is good for accounting and math, but we are mostly registering information.
What was that website that had webms and images and you could choose a room to change the video. It had a github repo if i remember correctly but i can't seem to find it.
>Extending: excel is good for accounting and math, but we are mostly registering information.
Yeah, companies have been using it for that for 30 years.
Welcome to being a small business SysAdmin.
These companies had their backend built by boomers. It works. You won't be able to get them to change. That's why these companies reach a point where it's valuable to be bought out, and can all of the HR and Tech support depts.
>and can all
and shitcan all
If you didn't understand.
I'm not even a sysadmin. I do a different job, but for a some time I have been the unofficial "IT department". We don't have IT people in company, instead these "services" are externalised. It's a technological consulting agency that supposedly fills that function, but in reality people come to me when there are issues, and those fucker consultants are there for when someone needs to buy a new laptop.
Oh, and our accounting dep is using a "custom-made" (lol) software that the wankers sold to my company. And it is not even open-sourced to us. But I don't even want to think about that. If the boomer accountant is happy let her be.
I am concerned with the database thing because it affects my actual job.
Sorry for the rant.
Is there a website like Roku's front page, where you can search every streaming service for a show or movie?
How impossible is to reattach a memory chip? A dude is selling a 290X with an accelero xtreme IV, i just want the cooler and the dude is selling it for 35€. Maybe I could spend 40€ repairing it somehow and get a good card to gift.
best way to sort photos on linux?
They use a special process to attach them when manufactured, so you won't be able to solder each individual connection. Theoretically, you could put it in the perfect spot and maybe glue it down, but I wouldn't trust that.
attaching a BGA chip = hard
attaching a BGA with torn pads/traces = really hard
unless you live in a place with low wages, getting that fixed will be too expensive to be worth it, and who knows if that'll even fix it (how did that even happen in the first place?)
My guess is that he installed the cooler and after some time he wanted to replace thermal pads or compound and it was stuck there. I have removed some AMD CPU coolers and taking the CPU itself too in the past because the thermal paste was like fucking glue. I think I have seen people ripping off chips like those before. I guess I will use as a decoration as it WD a great card.
what are
semaphores
synchronization
mutex
eventfd
and esync in wine?
pls explain
can you have two non-sli/xfire gpu in the same computer and if so is there any advantage to having one good card and one shitty card?
Any good ways to browse Jow Forums on iPhone? By good I mean like Clover. TheChan isn't on the app store, Tetra is shit, Merlin sucks too
How do I fix corrupted TPM drivers where the TPM chip is leveraged by Bitlocker?
>Computer working absolutely fine
>Find a 256GB M.2 drive for cheap and think why not
>Install it
>Everything is fine
>Except now I get constant "USB controller out of resources" errors
Now for some background, my computer is installed in a testbed case, I didn't unplug a single thing to install the M.2 drive so I legitimately know without any doubt that I changed nothing, no USB cables were moved to other sockets/controllers.
This isn't a PCI lanes issue either, my GPU isn't having issues.
Any ideas?
You can, yes. I myself am using a 1050Ti as my main GPU, it does all the heavy lifting and drives my primary monitor and my Oculus Rift. Installed alongside that is a passive 710 GPU, it drives my second and third monitors and is is in charge of H264 recording. It's a small task to take from the 1050ti admittedly but it does so nonetheless. It's a cute little thing too.

is there a good window manager for W10 like dwm or openbox
You don't need a PC.
All drivers up-to-date?
Just think how your boomer workmates are going to interfacet with this database.
Are you going to go through all the new data making sure it was input correctly and there isnt a decimal error that states 1,000 instead of 1.000? Cause if you push it you're going to be responsible for all of it.
There wont be an "easy" interface that you can sell to them for this purpose
You will not get the boomers to change any software.
Deal with it
lay off cunt, im just asking since I made a dual boot with wangblows and I hate really cannot stand its awful window management and general layout
Eh

You could make a quick C# application with a sqlite database.
what was the name of that good android app for reading mangos
i use keepass xc (dx on android), and syncthing to keep the db's synced around
syncthing is two-way, so you can open and change on any machine, though you can opt to make one machine 'send only' if you prefer
After a couple of minutes (10-20 minutes or so) my monitors go black as there is no video signal. I have two monitors connected to a GTX1060 6GB and it's been fine up until today. I am using Windows 10 Pro.
Sound still plays and my computer is still responsive but I can't see anything as I am not getting any video signal. I took the HDMI cables out of my GPU when this happens and put them back in. When the video signal cuts off the sound cuts off and then the video cuts out. It returns and sound continues to play but I have no video signal. I have to restart my PC but it still happens. I also updated my Nvidia drivers to the latest one an hour ago.
This is a long shot, but here goes.
My PC keeps slowing down/locking up ~3 times a day. When it happens, I'll barely be able to do anything, and my music begins intermittently stuttering. It will pass after about a minute, and happen a few hours later usually. When it does happen, my RAM is usually at 7/8, with nothing else out of the ordinary. I've also run a memtest, chkdsk, and virus scans. What should I try next?
is this still relevant: g.sicp.me
so im trying to make a little script that will track time spent per session and in total on Jow Forums and try to spread it around the site.

How do I check whether a security camera is real, ideally without touching it?
I've seen places that are riddled with so many security cameras that it's really obvious they can't all be real. But I have no way of knowing which ones are real.

Anyone have a good ricing guide for a retard on mint? I just wanna be as aesthetic as some of the guys in the desktop threads.
Don't know if it can be applied to /sqt/, should have gone for /sci/ probably.
As soon as I start studying something rigorous, it makes me tremendously sleepy, I yawn and it becomes impossible to understand things. I fall down rapidly (in terms of learning).

Check the task manager processes, find offending process. Probably got one of those auto-update memory leaks via trustedinstaller.exe or some such.
It'll do that by default, if the format is available. If it's not, add to your youtube-dl.conf:
-f 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]'
--merge-output-format mp4
It'll get if, if it exists.

i have some bluetooth headphones and whenever they're connected to my win10 laptop and there is no sound playing they'll start disconnecting and reconnecting every 30 seconds or so and play the disconnect/reconnect noise each time until i do something that's playing sound, the headphones don't do this with my phone and it's only my laptop that's causing this, any ideas why?
Does slackware have a package manager? Like arch has pacman, gentoo has portage, debian has apt and so on.

What's the deal with OpenCL C++? When is it going to get support?
About the Adaway android app.
I intend to block a website but I don't know how trough this app. I know I can because that's what the app does, but somehow just adding the URL i want to block in the "Your lists" menu does not work.
Tried a workaround adding a website to a pastebin and linking the raw text with the "127.0.0.1 url.com" into the hostfiles section and doesn't work either.
I restarted of course, and I'm fully rooted.

Well, it supposedly blocks shit on the hosts file level, yet I still see ads whenever I use the YouTube app. As far as I'm concerned it's broken.
Your blocklists suck
If you know something tell me. I'd like to get rid of those ads.
Recently, I was not a faggot and set my router to only use the "n" standard for wifi, as opposed to mixed mode. Speed is considerably higher now.
My question is, why does it seem like the speed drops over time? How often should I restart the router to clear the cache?
Add better blocklists
Why does 4chanx randomly do this on /v/? I don't click these threads but they're "sticked" at the top of the catalog. Any way to disable it?

i am getting really fucking sick of skype. what is the best alternative for video calling?
unironically discord. there is nothing else worth checking out other than skype and discord for video calls.
freetards will claim jitsi is a valid alternative. it isn't.
Freetards use ring and its better then skype and discord
Cant even use fullscreen video and chat box on another monitor in skype anymore.
Fucking useless
I changed my internet settings to something recommended by some user for better viewing twitch stuff. That is: IPv4 208.67.222.222 and 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. Now, this is what my network says, but here I am posting. The fuck did I do?

That's what you get for doing things without understanding them, retard. Now you pay the price.
Is this the right way to install this RAM?
I mean my internet works though, and twitch doesn't load
Yes, turn on xmp too
Or i should say twitch doesn't give me loading screens, it loads and plays ok now. Just curious as to the specifics. I don't claim to be a computer brain, which is why I'm in the stupid question thread, and not the I know everything about technology thread
