Can I make qutebrowser automatically open all youtube link in mpv?

I always use alcohol pads, but I'm probably retarded.

Apparently Ubuntu comes with vim-tiny which, as far as I can tell, is a stripped-down version of vim which provides only vi functionality.

You can just install the full version of vim with
>sudo apt install vim

I don't know if vim-tiny should be uninstalled first.

First off, why do you want to do this because it sounds retarded.
Second off, there's a variety of ways to do it and it really depends on your usecase
right off the bat i can think of two
>two vectors of shared pointers
>one vector of normal objects and the other of reference wrappers/raw pointers
this one is basically a vector and a "vector view"

alternatively if you want to ensure that there are no duplicated intersections use sets instead of vectors

I'd like to know as well. My monitor is fairly new and I'd like to avoid fucking it up. I try not to touch it but dust and (since I'm not the only person in my house) smudges are inevitable.

I have a little microfiber cloth somewhere. Is that basically what I should use?

>go to the "I know what you torrent website"
>shows some of my recent downloads
>alongside some REALLY fucking shady stuff neither me or anyone who uses my internet could've downloaded

What the fuck, is the site intentionally scamming me into thinking my IP downloaded something it didn't (some of the details are missing which are present on the stuff that I actually downloaded) or have I been "hacked" in some way?

I think I looked at the same site. It showed nothing for my IP. I have no idea if it's trying to scam you but it seems unlikely.

Are you SURE that nobody who uses your internet connection downloaded something shady?

Could someone be using your WiFi without your knowledge? If your WiFi doesn't have a password then I would assume someone used it without your permission but I can't imagine anyone not having a WiFi password in 2019 so I'll assume that's not your problem.

Also, do you even have a static IP? If your IP is dynamic then... well, my networking knowledge is shit, but I assume that means someone else might have had your IP before you had it.

Did chrome update its address bar functions recently? For the past week or so, the things I type there have changed their suggestions completely. Normally I'd type a letter and press enter and be brought to a site I commonly use. But now all of a sudden, it's changed so that it'll google something I searched for once instead. I can't even get to google properly anymore. For years I've typed G and pressed enter to get there, but now when I do that it does a google search for "girl" even though I've never searched for just that word. What the hell is going on and how do I fix it?

Any good books for learning SQL?

It's a static IP, and I do have a password, but I live in a fairly sparsely inhabited area and the people who use my internet basically don't know how to use torrents at all. The site shows some of the stuff I downloaded and some harmless torrents I never did, but then a few really fucking damning things that make me think I'm way beyond the "on a list" level. My problem with what it's showing is that all the harmless torrents it shows (both the ones I did download and the ones I didn't) show a size of the download in gigabytes, except the few shady ones which show nothing, makes me think it's some sort hoax but I'm really worried regardless.

what 3.1 modem should I get?
looking between sb8200, mb8600, and cm1000.

wireless router recs would be appreciated too.

Also all the torrents I know I didn't download are grouped together and shown like they were downloaded in the same second of the same day

I remember getting the errors in my pic about a month or so ago, and even after disabling the network service flag, Jow Forums X was still not working properly for me. I figured maybe there was some sort of issue that still needed to be fixed on the development side, so I uninstalled it and used the native extension instead. I reinstalled Jow Forums X today and I'm still getting the same error. The page still doesn't refresh after I submit a post either, which is annoying.

Is there anything I can do to actually get this fixed? I just want this shit to work.

My apologies, I get "Connection error while posting. [More info]" after posting. Regardless, it isn't working as expected.

Lets say i have ATT as my mobile service provider.
Does everybody with ATT as their mobile service provider have the same IP address when it comes to using their data plan for browsing the web? Would only be in my state or area?
Reason is because I can’t post using it sometimes. At one point, “i” was banned for posting CP on a board I never use.

How can I register a Goygle account without giving out my phone number? Is there a free SMS verification service that actually works with it?

I have a network share that I want to be available to Android apps as file saving location. I used Android samba client and my share appears now in stock file explorer but it's impossible to designate it as saving path in any other app. wat do?

This is more of a philosophical question about windows 10 and life. Is it wrong to give up trying to fix it after it starts shitting itself and you ruled out hardware? Because it's suddenly giving me a lot of BSODs with "critical process died" and I have no idea what's causing them and I have absolutely no energy anymore to find out. I reinstalled because of BSODs last time and it was different errors.

At this point, I just pack my shit and go. This install is only 2 months old. I am fucking sick and tired.

You can have maybe a few thousand active users on a single IP before the ephemeral port situation gets sketchy.

Does the type of Ethernet cable effect ping at all? I have this very old lengthy red cable that I use to connect my computer to my router. Would getting a new cable give me better ping? For years in every multiplayer game I've played my ping has always been above 100. Will even getting a shorter cable have any effect on my ping?

Attached: 1547072925268.jpg (554x557, 38K)

A bad Ethernet cable can cause packet loss, but that's not the same thing. Are you running P2P software while you game? Maybe do a tracert to one of your game servers and see how long it takes to get off your ISP's network.

How can I tell if my network card is dead on my motherboard? I assume it is, but I want to make definitely sure before I RMA this piece of shit. I have both Linux and Windows partitions installed. Yesterday the net just went down, and now it doesn't even detect the LAN cable is plugged in...

try different cables and try the cable in another machine. if you get the same result, it's the cable. if it works in another machine your LAN port is dead. as for wifi, it'll either work or not.

Why don't you try win7 then? I'd do that, under the assumption Linux can't run the programs you need.
How are you sure it's not hardware?

Just installed W10 on my Dell XPS15 and my wifi isnt working. I installed a wifi driver from Dell’s website and it’s still no working. When i dualboot to ubuntu it works, however.

I need an adhesive ring to prevent further cracks in a disc.
rubberdisc.com/product-page/copy-of-copy-of-100-hub-protectors
I found these "hub protectors" but the smallest quantity is 50 for $25 and I don't want that many.
Are these known by another name? Can anyone suggest alternatives?

Yes, it's not that hard to repair the install with DISM. That should fix the BSODs assuming it's some sort of corruption issue.

How do you interpret this question? Both A and B register a broadcast receiver, but the question makes no mention of receivers. So I have no idea whether "registering a broadcast" refers to sending or receiving a broadcast

For whatever reason my wifi settings are not showing.

I moved to a new place and when I try to connect to the internet no wifi or airplane mode options are available, not even in settings.

I tried checking out my wireless driver but for whatever reason it is not there either. I decided to try downloading a new driver to install/update but when I used dxdiag it shows no motherboard information.

I don't no what to do here. Should I just reboot the fuck out of my machine?

I have an old Windows 7 installation on my SATA SSD, and I've recently installed Windows 10 on a new NVME SSD. I use the one-time boot menu to boot the UEFI W10 drive when I want, but whenever I restart/shutdown the computer and attempt to boot the legacy W7, it takes an abhorrent amount of time (and the computer usually reboots itself before it manages to get W7 going). This only happens when I'm booting into W7 after using W10- why is this?

Plz help.

>desktop gtx 1050 has 2gb of vram

The same way your CPU gained 400MB of RAM.

What to do when you have no professional references to list?

Have a decade experience in IT but I've been self-employed for the past three years (online retail/services) with no real interaction with clients, customers, vendors, etc. Never made any meaningful connections at previous employers. I'm way overqualified for most jobs I'm applying to but just have no references.

How do i know if i've the necessary skills to be a mid-level programmer? During college i had way more confidence than i've now, with 2 years of experience working in web dev (shitty area, i know). Dunno way... even though the problems aren't complex as the ones from college, i still get anxious at every request, in a way like "shitty, now i'll flop".
When do you gain confidence? Or when did you lost, if you had it previously.

A portfolio and applying to jobs that require an on-line test or white board test? But i guess you already know all of that.

I'm in systems/networking, not programming.

A lot of programs use a single core to do everything. And most of the time this is core 0.
Are there any utilities on W7 that can set the affinity of these singlethreaded programs such that it spreads them out evenly across all cores?

For instance, Firefox, explorer and Winamp are all single-threaded applications. Is there a program that can set the affinities of these to utilise cores 0, 1 and 2 respectively?

I imagine this would cut down on the number of scenarios where multiple applications are all fighting for CPU time on the same core.

What do you use to format SD cards? Formatting with Windows itself destroys anything I format and permanently reduces capacity to 100MB.

Alcohol based wipes + once it’s dry and clean use micro fibre cloth. That’s how I do it and works every time.

You probably had the 7 SSD attached while you did the 10 install. Never have any other drives attached when installing windows. It ties their bootloaders together and makes shit retarded.

Absolutely not.

So every time I go on Jow Forums, I can't load images on hover (says "File no longer exists(404)."), can't expand them, but I can open them in a new tab.
I'm on windows10 firefix with privacy badger which seems to be the culprit, specifically it's blocking is2.Jow Forums.org by default, but this is "new" behavior.
I wanted to know if this is something others are having/noticed or if I did something wrong on my end somewhere.

NTD interfaces to the fiber network, this routes your local LAN. You can connect straight to your active UNI-D, but obviously that will only be one device, no WLAN etc.

Probably. Update it.

If we're talking about "iknowwhatyoudownload" dot dom, then in my experience it's been accurate for me. Quite hilarious too to be able to jump around to other similar IP addresses (grouped geographically) to see what bizarre porn my neighbours are downloading.

I just checked now and it's listing three torrent that I did downloading, one of which I didn't complete. I don't see anything bizarre listed or anything that I don't think I downloaded. I disabled my addblock for a moment and didn't see any ads, I thought that perhaps you were a victim of someone trying to sell VPN's.

All I can think of is that someone somehow connected to your network via wifi, or somebody somehow spoofed your IP address when downloading those files.

Take a screenshot of the downloads it's listed for you, conceal any private info, and let us see what it looks like.

There's something going on with my network, for some reason the bestaudio stream won't load unless I'm using a vpn
Weird stuff

You haven't been hacked. When you download a torrent you connect to a peer network and your ip is visible to the peers. This website monitors public trackers and logs what IPs connect to them and what torrents they're downloading.
I think you can get around it by reporting a different IP to the tracker. I have this in my qbittorrent preferences (bottom line) and nothing I've downloaded is showing up on that website for me.

Here's a screenshot, the OPM episode at the end is the only thing I've actually downloaded, the rest of the torrents I've never heard of, they all apparently happened at the same second, and the torrents highlighted in red are about the worst thing you can imagine, I censored the titles in order not to be associated with the shit even through some hypothetical OCR surveillance of Jow Forums or the archives (the red ones also don't have the sizes shown for some reason). I also censored the innocuous looking stuff I'm too afraid to Google at this point. I have User Account Control turned on for every attempt to load a magnet link so this makes it even more confounding to me, none of it ever appeared on my devices in any way as far as I'm aware.

I just don't want this shit I have nothing to do with associated with me, and to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. I don't know what to do, ignore it and hope nothing comes of it, revamp my entire home network/security and all the devices, ask my ISP what to do (they're a small local company) although I fear it would only make it worse.

If the red stuff is CP or something, write an email to yourself detailing that you have NEVER downloaded this stuff, and that you've just discovered this page today. Use that for any future legal protection. I would NOT go approaching your ISP or police or anything like that, because that will only entangle you with people who might want to come after you who otherwise wouldn't. (Watch the video lecture "don't talk to police" on youtube). Make a clear record for yourself, though, that you've discovered this now, never downloaded it, and anything that could corroborate this (such as being asleep or away during the time of download), email it to yourself so that the date and time are recorded in an objective manner, and don't share the email with anyone unless it's absolutely necessary.

My idea would be that if police genuinely suspected you of being involved in this shit, they would simply get ISP records and then get a court order\warrant to search your computers. This anons explanation seems to make a lot of sense In future you could get a remote seedbox and just download directly to that, but if spoofing has taken place, that wouldn't necessarily stop this happening in future if is correct.

The reality is that anyone could CLAIM anything about you, and put up pseudo-logs, and it looks worse when it's combined with stuff you might actually download - but claiming is a different thing to proving.

Is there a way to search for keywords in several PDF files at once in Linux mint?

Is the 1440p actually 2K or not?

Okay, thanks, I'll write the email for future reference, and avoid bringing it up with anyone unless necessary. I'll keep monitoring the page to see if any further incidents happen, would inquiring about an IP change with my ISP without giving a reason be a smart idea or would it only worsen things? I live in a fairly small country and I've personally never heard of police or an ISP taking action against something like this but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened, I fear that getting implicated into this in any way would ruin my reputation regardless of how innocent I am. I genuinely appreciate the help, thanks.

You could ask your ISP, but I think ISP's can often be funny about asking for static IP address changes, so they might ask you a reason, and they'll probably charge a small fee. Search their website to look for options. You could ask, but have some excuse ready at hand and don't mention the torrenting thing.

I think the problem with that site is that it's Russian or something, so contacting them to complain might not achieve much. Maybe you could try emailing them from gmail or something (to obscure your IP address) and ask if they'll remove entries that aren't accurate. Again, this in itself might cause issues.

Personally I would just ignore it unless somebody else claimed to have seen it. It's unfortunate but there doesn't seem to be much you can do, other than get a remote seedbox and don't torrent from that IP address again. I do believe that the records are 'wiped' after a certain period (might be 6 months?), because it doesn't show many of my older downloads that I know it showed in the past. So if you start using a remote seedbox, then nobody will be able to stop things they know you'd download, which would at least make it harder for people to believe that it was actually you who downloaded the red torrents.

youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE

wait about 10 hours of using the same IP address and frequently using google services (like google search or youtube) and try then
they do let you sign up without a number but it works on a risk system and you have to wait for your IP address to enter the 'good' pool (the method i described isnt the only way, i dont know the details, but that way has worked for me numerous times)

If the ping is 100ms from you to the router you have problems yes, from your touer to the internet then obviously the cable isn't part of the equation
