/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

Are you sure? Is the font present in the firefox/fonts directory?

Actually, IceWeasel doesn't have that folder.

I just tried to drag and drop it inside of it from my Firefox folder and now things are working correctly.
Thank you user!

Stop using your resources if you dont want your system to fire electrons through rocks and create lightning and cause heat to be dissipated

Networking question~

I'm expanding my network, and I've put an unmanageable switch into the new office (about 20 PC's in vlan 7, all static IP, network login etc.) and connected that switch to my manageable switch.

What settings should I use on the manageable switch's port so those PC's under the dumbswitch would be able to work properly?

So I setup a Raspberry Pi via ssh and only use it that way.

Would it be possible to hook up a keyboard and monitor to it so as to use the command line "locally"?

It's Raspbian Stretch Lite
I can output either via composite or via HDMI

Can a colorimeter help fix the black and white levels on my monitor? Blacks are too dark, whites are too bright, and all of the colors around black and white blend in. Adjusting the contrast at this state seems to make it all worse, one way or another.

How do you handle environmental variables in a sandbox?

I want to lewd and cuddle both.

That doesn't look like a normal Apache setup to me. What distribution is it? This is why using some sort of configuration system and or containerization solution is good. Why did the problem happen to begin with?

Anyway, I'd suspect that it's not lying when it says /envvars is not found. That's not a standard setup, it looks like maybe it's supposed to run inside docker and have /envvars supplied by the host system

I want to start from scratch on my computer can I just unplug all drives and then plug in a blank SSD and install Linux on that? I keep getting freezes trying to install Linux and I think its because I have a seperate windows SSD plugged in. I want to fresh install windows on that SSD also I think after I get Linux up is the best way right?

Have you run memtest

no what could that reveal?
Installer freezes at 90% Manjaro with "Start procedure and passes 'fw_type' to other routine" I read this was some screw up with UEFI. Clueless on all of this I have had Linux on this exact drive and I have installed Linux with this USB several times.

not him but memtest once in a wile is not a bad idea

Well it's not the full text because of text limit, it starts around line 50~

/sqt/s and oats

Whats the difference between 720p and 1080p for anime? I still don’t know the difference.
I downloaded a 720p and 1080p BD rip of a show. Comparing them, they looked exactly the same. What exactly am I looking for?

Are you the same guy on /sci/?

Are you high?
It's resolution. 720p means the resolution of the video will be 1280x720. 1080p means the resolution of the video will be 1920x1080. Higher resolution means higher quality, if you get a rip that calls itself 1080p but the resolution doesn't fill up the entirety of a 1920x1080 monitor, the rip ain't legit. If it fits but it looks chunky, it was stretched.

I have no way to start no one to code with
I have not a clue as to where to go either
Plus I have a super ai flying around me
Its extremely restrictive

It can. You should still aim to have white/black levels pretty close before you start with software calibration though otherwise you'll end up with more banding. What kind of monitor?

Scanner and photoshop can help. Or just connect shit up however and figure it out while programming.

Here's also a chart demonstrating 360p, 720p, and 1080p resolutions

Attached: rez.png (1920x1080, 33K)

Thinking of getting an XPS 13. Is the 3200x1800 resolution worth the decreased battery life? Can you even notice the difference?

>if you get a rip that calls itself 1080p but the resolution doesn't fill up the entirety of a 1920x1080 monitor, the rip ain't legit.
Only true if it's a 16:9 source. Other aspect ratios may have either black bars or be smaller in one direction.

Ok, so let's assume I'm watching a 720p video on a 1080p monitor. It get's stretched out to fill the screen thus the quality drops whereas a 1080p video will already fit the screen and have better quality?
Because in terms of imaging, they look exactly the same.

You should notice an increase in quality for the 1080p file. If you don't, either you have bad eyesight or the file is dodgy (e.g. someone upscaled a 720p video and claimed it as native 1080p to get more downloads).

Try watching some youtube videos in 720p vs 1080p and see if you notice a difference.

>It get's stretched out
>the quality drops
Not really the way I would put it. The thing about anime is that most of it is created in 720p, so a 1080p copy wouldn't really make any difference if it was using an HD source.

I have a torrent i want to seed,but i have renamed the files over the years of having them(to make the file names have dates to sort in chronological order), but i know for sure they match the hashes(i verified them).Is there some script/program that will search a folder and recreate the torrents folder structure?

I have 2 pictures and an excel sheet I need to put into a pdf. How should I do this?
If it helps, I can export the excel sheet as a pdf.

I thought watching a 1080 vid on a 720 screen was bad because the 1080 file gets squashed to fit in the 720 screen?

how do i fix this shit. i did a reset of NVRAM and the other chip. i did the hardware diagnostic thing and it says my memory is fine.

i can boot into "single-user mode" (which is a super user prompt? without password protection??) and from there run a filesystem check which also gives me green light.

currently writing a recovery usb key but it's taking a while and i wonder if there's something i forgot.

Or it was shitty source material that didn't deserve a >720p blu-ray anyway, or the 1080p rip was encoded shittily and/or with too low bandwidth.

Why does watching a stream of a game on twitch on my phone look better than me playing the same game, same settings at 1080p? Is it just because the phone screen is much smaller?

density of pixels is much higher on the phone, making it look like it has more detail because everything is smaller. so basically, yes

Trying to get started with neovim, but despite linking my ~/.vim and ~/.vimrc, neovim still does not recognize any of my settings. What am I doing wrong?

I have a really stupid question, so bear with me.

All my computer knowledge comes from tinkering in my spare time. I know my way around GNU + Linux and shell scripts, but I don't really know any programming languages.

I work as a kitchen assistant at some diner that also runs a giftshop with a website. One day not too long ago the boss himself came up to the kitchen and asked if anyone knew a thing about computers, and I was the only one qualified.

The deal is he's been paying some company to set up and run and maintain the website, but apparently they're not doing their job. He wants some guy internally to run the website, some simple Wordpress Woocommerce site, and deal with pretty much anything computer related.

Am I up to the task, or do I need some kind of certificate or training? Google has been giving me all the answers I need thus far the handful of times I've been over at the office, and I've already improved and automated some of their methods.

Holy shit, I'm so sorry for the cancerous spacing

You could probably do it. Just make sure to document everything you do because googling the answer isn't always going to get you to and exact solution and makes you look like an asshole.

Does having 16gb of ram make up for having a video card with low vram? Sorry if this is a dumb question

Is there any software I can download for diagnosing which HRTF table I should be using? I've been using this video,
youtube.com/watch?v=VCXQp7swp5k
And it's hardly any help at all. I've gone through dozens of times, and no matter how much I listen to all of the samples and adjust my OpenAL soft settings, I can't get a strong sense of spatial depth or anything.

Running out of vram and still having ram is better than running out of both, but generally speaking once you're vram limited you're going to see a massive drop in performance. The gpu can't access system memory at nearly the same rate as dedicated video memory. Just get an rx580 user, they're hella cheap for what they offer and you shouldn't have problems with 8gb of vram.

No. There's a divide between the system and the gpu that makes sharing ram MUCH slower to the point where it's almost useless. Integrated GPUs don't have this problem because they're built into the mobo right next to the CPU proper.

You can probably handle it, but do yourself a favor and don’t take on that responsibility without an adjustment of your compensation. Don’t do shit like that for free.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help

windows 10

No but you need to recconect it.

Is this a prebuilt? This is housefire tier.

user replace that Pentium era PSU, that looks like a modern build to be using something like that.
Anyway rewire your F_Panel cables.

Use Yandex.

you plugged the front panel cables into the wrong headers
look for labels on the board
look online for a manual for the board if you cant see any labels

reinstalled Win 7 on a machine that ALREADY had win 7 installed in the past
now apparently whenever the machine enters "hybrid sleep" mode it becomes totally unresponsive and won't respond to mouse, keyboard, or even the power button on the case. If I switch the PSU off and on it will boot up again but complain about BIOS corruption (and the mobo will restore bios from an anboard backup)

what the FUCK is happening? note that the problems seem to disappear if I turn off "hybrid sleep" in the windows power options

That wasn't the issue, I tried it with the knife method as well and it didn't work. I pulled everything apart, rocketblowered the shit out of everything, reapplied the thermal paste, kissed the ground and did the hail mary prayer ten times then put it back together and the motherfucker started right up. Fucking hell.
I'll get a PSU once I get paid, I've been getting bad dreams about it blowing up and I know I'm on borrowed time.
>is this a prebuilt?
No, I was a NEET when I built this and I literally didn't have $50 for a PSU so I used this one. I found it in the attic. Thinking back I've made several sacrifices that weren't worth it, including saving $20 by going mini atx which is just a pain in the ass to deal with and saving $40 by buying a single slot card that idles at 60°C and goes to 90+ under load.

The cheapest decent PSU around is $22(EVGA 450BT) user, where are you from?

Save and get a EVGA 550 G2 or G3 for $45-55.
Also which GPU that it idles at 60?

Suggestions?

So I've installed R on my computer (Linux Mint), but I can't install any R packages. Whenever I do, it tells me "package name non-zero exit" for each package it trys to install.

I've tried doing it running R in terminal, and installing Rstudio, but same thing. I picked the closest mirror to me and everything.

What do? I'm trying to install rmarkdown and lpSolveAPI specifically.

Why didn't you spend a little more for a more decent brand?

This.
