If I were to install another OS for a triple boot (Arch), will that cause problems with the grub? My main concern with the grub is that it's the Kali grub (which has it's own image, and for some reason I was told to install Kali last due to supposed grub issues), so I dont know if modifying my grub will disrupt Kali in any way
So if I try to install normally, let me know if any of this sounds wrong
>gparted, create new empty partition for Arch
>begin Arch install in newly created /sda4
>creat filesystem and whatnot
>skip swap partition because I already have one, I can add it to the fstab later
>grub should automatically update, listing the other 2 OS's I already have on there
>I can now choose between Arch, Kali, and Kubuntu at grub selection
Also I remember reading something about my "main OS" should be Arch, what does that mean? Does that mean changing the grub order to have Arch as #1?
Henry Stewart
I have no clue what your setup is like but if it's recommended to install Kali last because of grub issues, what you could do is install Arch but don't install grub inside Arch, reboot into Kali, and from there update grub to make it pick up the new Arch install.
That way you'll still be using the Kali-installed grub.

I created an alt steam account for reasons, but I'd like to be able to do shit on it like trade (for example, with my main account). Which means I need to get a working instance of the steam 2FA.
I'm already using my phone for my main account, so what's the best way to go around verifying my second account? First I'll need a phone number; if necessary I can get a shitty PaYG sim card and stick it into a burner phone to receive SMS, that's fine. But does Steam Guard work with SMS only, or do they require the app? Because then I would probably need to use an android emulator. Is it possible to somehow register a sim with an emulator?
Any advice appreciated, this whole thing is annoying.

Yeah yeah I know, it's pretty much the only botnet I use so cut me some slack.

Not my fault nobody made a thread until the old one was like page 9 or something
Carson Butler
Is the S8 GM950u finally able to be rooted?
Angel Ross
it's your fault for not having a 20TiB folder full of shotas for such occasions
Cameron King
what if I want to switch to the Arch grub though? the Kali grub has this obnoxious Kali image that shows up every time even when I usually just go down to Kubuntu anyways
Mason Cox
also, if I want to test this installation process on a VM, is it possible to have a partitioned VHD? When I start the VM is it possible to boot into a BIOS? I've never tried this functionality before because all my VM's run single OS's

How can you secure an HDD without a bracket?
I know that my 2.5" SSDs can just hang out since they're without moving parts but the case, but the project I'm currently doing doesn't have any 3.5" mounting options.
Are there any racks or mounts that I can purchase and mount myself to the chassis?
Joseph Scott
I was playing a game and using a controller, but my comp went to sleep because there was no keyboard or mouse input. How do I prevent this from happening again? Win7

unironically use LEGO
Michael Miller

Explain further
John Cruz
i used lego to adapt my SSD to a disc drive shelf. it actually fits so good that i didn't need any screws
Dominic Cook
Ah, for SSDs.
My problem is for actual 3.5" HDDs since my largest internal SSD is only 500GB
Ryan Price
can i completely cover my internet activity locally by using a google chrome that is installed in a veracrypt container and dismounting it after im done browsing?
Christian King
what's the difference? just make it a bit bigger so a HDD will fit
Wyatt Hughes
Fuck it, I'll try it tomorrow.
Justin Moore
remember that you need those flat smooth LEGOs or it won't fit perfectly
Jason Nguyen

Why do media encodings exist? Why do we need to decode them with a media player and then send them to a monitor/soundcard? I've been told before this is for compression, but .wav is a audio encoding format which is completely uncompressed, so what's the deal there?
Blake Ross
it will still cache stuff in your system catalogs
Daniel Peterson
is there a way to redirect that to the container or a browser that dont do it?
Henry Myers
i know that FF cans. chrome might be too closed/propietary for that. however i think that using symbolic links might do the trick but i can't gurantee that
Ian Allen
If I had a Windows VM running on a FreeBSD server, could I conceivably remote desktop into it for gaming when I want to?
Chase Scott
not a huge fan of ff but will give it a try. thanks user
Elijah Morris
No

i googled a bit and symlinks seem to be a valid option so

Is having my NAT "open" for gaming showing the outside world how many devices are in my network? Am I at risk?
Oliver Powell
Will blocking digicert, letsencrypt, etc. in behind-the-scene content in uMatrix prevent https from working correctly? I don't understand behind-the-scene much, apart from the fact that it's some kind of connection that's different from the others.

Is the best File manager/browser on Android still ES? If not, what should I get and why?
Wyatt King
Why doesn't YouTube's sort by date filter work? This shit is seriously pissing me off; it's not just the occasional sponsored video between more recent ones -- this shit is all whack.
Henry Campbell
Nevermind, I see that it's intentional due to the NZ shit. They should just remove the filters for now if that's the case.
Brayden Rodriguez
so I did some research and apparently there's no issue with the Kali grub. So if I install Arch normally with the bootloader, it should replace the Kali bootloader and I'll be able to select from all 3 OS's on the grub menu, yes?
Wyatt Richardson
Fastest Android browser?
Angel Green
Does anyone here use Substratum? Recently found out about it, and looking to try different themes to spice up my phone's look.
Jack Ramirez
can i get a virus from saving an image of Jow Forums?
Gabriel Jones
Only if you use Microsoft Windows. Yes, there was a flaw in Windows once where opening/saving any image will infect your PC.
Connor Taylor
i would say no but you can't tell what hiro embeds in his commercials nowdays

What is the best torrent to use that Baka BT allows? 3.3.1 utorrent?
Luke James

Sebastian Nguyen
rtorrent
>i'm not a Jow Forumsentooman
qbittorrent, deluge, transmission. in this order
Adrian Morgan
I do not currently use it, but I have used it previously for a few years. It works pretty well for the most part and it will automatically unapply themes if they're causing any apps to crash.
fastest is anything based on webkit, so chrome, chromium, brave, bromite, etc.
Keep as a backup device
Jason Cook
my questions are here, i need 2 tiny tan resistors but dont know what they're called. i also know next to nothing about soldering.
Wyatt Foster
I'm downloading qbittorent 4.1.5 now. Wish me luck.
Easton Watson
Well this didn't work. It hangs at "retrieving metadata" forever. How am I supposed to do selective downloads with this?. Utorrent didn't have this problem.
Caleb Garcia
Wait, I retried and now it works.
Ryder Moore
I'm upgrading to a 2TB WD Gold hard drive from a WD Green 500GB piece of shit, what's the best way to clone my drive without having to reinstall windows?
Brandon James
Jesus Christ. DON'T switch from a HDD to another HDD. Use an SSD for the OS and the HDD for storage.
Owen Baker
Too expensive, I'm fine with an HDD for now.
Just want to know how to clone the drive.
Mason Gomez
A 128gb SSD is cheap as fuck and they even come in m.2 form factors, which HDDs can never be. My current set upp is a 128gb M.2 sata SSD with like 3 HDDs and another 128gb SDD in the 2.5 form factor.
No, I won't tell you how to clone the drives. You need to get an SAD for your OS.
James Peterson
>SAD
Meant to say SSD.
Kevin Gutierrez
Help I'm clueless about home network
I have a server, pc, printer. I want high speed transfer between the PC and Server + ability to print. I also have wireless devices and am not sure whether to use the gateway device as a secondary wireless router or buy an access point.
Would this work? What revisions would you make? The ISP lets me bridge but I'm not sure if I want this or not.
Evan Lee
I know exactly where that OP image is from. Sneaky little bugger, you.

So Office Word is capable to keeping the original formatting of code when you paste it, is there a way I can do the same with LibreOffice Writer?

It depends on the size.
It depends on where you're copying from.

What Blu-Ray drive should I get? Don't care about 4K, but I've heard that it's become a bitch to rip stuff because of firmware updates.

Which themes did you use?
Michael Bailey
Oh, and my current monitor is a 20 inch.
Jaxson Murphy
recommend me a 24 inch 144hz monitor under $450 AUD
Jayden Hernandez
Just browse sites for one you like and wait until you can get it on sale.
Kayden Evans
would it be weird to go to korean church as a white dude to try and get a traditional korean gf
Benjamin Hill
That's really weird.
Jack Lewis
Is there a website with a listing of all phone models that also has a search function to sift out shitty features such as notches, rounded screen corners, lack of headphone jack, irremovable battery, no memory expansion and the likes? I'm currently on a hunt for a new phone and I want to have a normal one that doesn't have stupid shit attached to it.
Levi Ward
I like this one, but there's no filter for rounded edges and none for no notches, only with.
geizhals.eu
you need to click show all filters if you want to see them all.
Elijah Young
I want to make a personal app that records my cars mileage. Should i use room database for this or is sqlite api enough?

It's entirely a personal preference on how you want to work.

Thanks, though.

I finally got Win7 to work on my pc through UEFI. Now the problem is that my PC doesn't recognize the other HDDs and drives. How do I solve that?
Xavier Harris
I’m trying to pirate DOA5 skidrow release with all costumes. Malwarebytes reported a trojan for the exe and shortcut. Some other users reported a virus warning as well. However, this is the same shit I got on every damn torrent from various websites and they are all from trusted users and still up.
Does this sound like a false positive? Or should I stay the fuck away?
Ian Johnson
Oh fugg I seriously didn't expect anyone at all to recognise it
Robert Scott
why not just put a profile on a ramdisk? that's what i do when i want to fire up a temporary, blank browser
mkdir /tmp/paletemp; firejail --private=/tmp/paletemp/ palemoon -no-remote
(swap "palemoon" for firefox or compatible, it works the same)
Joseph Ortiz
install GNU+Linux
Logan Mitchell
Are they showing up in disk management? What about diskpart?
Henry Stewart
If you mean if BIOS recognizes them then yes.
Leo Perez
1200 ≠ 1080
And yes. Nobody should be doing anything on less than 1080 in present year, unless you really dig budget phones.
Jackson Rivera
Wasn't that literally a decade and a half ago?
Nathaniel Sanders
>cover my internet activity
>by using a google chrome
Juan Ortiz
I asked nothing about your bios.
Cooper Johnson
Yeah, could be, I'm a pleb and this is a /sqt/, sorry about my misunderstanding. Maybe you could clarify what you meant with 'diskpart', and no they're not showing up in disk management, I think.
Anyway, the other drives aren't being recognized in UEFI, and the SSD on which my system is won't load in legacy, which is obviously a problem, because it hinders me from installing my main board's and other drivers. Not to mention my HDDs.
Brody Ross
how did you find this website?
Aiden Kelly
What are you doing in an /sqt/, not expecting stupid people?
Liam Hernandez
what are you talking about? this is the serious question thread

Jason Bennett
RX590 or RTX2060?
Benjamin Hall
That's like $150 and two tiers difference. What rez/refresh are you going for?
Jacob Ward
I was just looking at the ASUS ones as they are 15% off, so those two are the same price.
Mostly looking for an upgrade for VR as I still have a shitty 970
Jaxson Thomas
OK, no they dont show up in the disc manager.
Easton Collins
They should never be the same price. How much is the 2060? There are better options in between them. Also what processor are you sitting on?
