How are files distributed in P2P networks?

I cant seem to copy anything off my android tablet but i can still access the files on it and in file explorers. Im trying to copy about 50gb off of it, but whenever I try (even if i only copy a few gbs at a time) my file explorers will always freeze up. Tried using 4 different android file exlorers to copy to a sd card, tried on manjaro and trying on windows now (its frozen though). Any ideas lads? I need to factory reset this thing

Is there something that I can do to *audio in* port to listen to audio with my headphones?

Just noticed all of the youtube links i'm seeing embedded here have their title replaced with "Forbidden or Private", not sure why.

How to progress my home network security when all I've done on my router is this:

>complex WPA2 password
>deactivate WPS
>setup guest network for guests (different SSID name, different password)

I use ethernet cable for my own computers but my smartphone and my family uses Wi-Fi like retards

My router hasn't received security updates since 2014. Should I buy a new router or is WPA3 just around the corner? Will I benefit from buying those LinkSys DD-WRT open source routers or will my inexperience with open source routers be worse for security because human error?

I'm just getting into how memory works and how to use debuggers to look through it. I have a couple dumb questions: I get that global registries are things like eax; can all the rest of the memory be referred to as registries or is there a difference between a registry and a regular memory address? Another one: I'm slowly learning about buffer overflow for exploits, but I know that not everything is susceptible to it. How do you normally prevent a buffer overflow vulnerability or why are there cases where it's not an attack option?
Buy a new router. Regardless of protocol (if WPA3 is coming soon or not), there are vulnerabilities like kracks that haven't been patched on your device if the last update was in 2014

What are my options for connecting my 2tb hdd to my hotels cheap soniq tv that only supports usb flash drives? I thought about screen mirroring my phone but I don't think the tv even has a wireless connection.
Am I fucked?

ty fren, will buy new router and also upgrade my switch from 4 port to 8 port while I'm at it

>connecting your own shit to public devices
isshigydidt

is your hard drive 2,5" portable or 3,5" power adaptor? The TV might only support FAT32 file system while your hard drive is NTFS? Hotel might have disabled access because they want you to pay for cable package? TV usb port might not have enough power to power hard drive

Are my hardrives corrupted/fucked?
I've been having issues for two days now with Windows staying on the loading screen and never booting up after I connected up my 1tb hdd from my old pc onto my new build (without reformatting/reinstalling).
Last night I did a full wipe and reinstall of windows 10 on my 1tb hdd. Managed to get to desktop and everything worked fine. I cloned windows from the hdd to my m.2, then turned off the pc. Tried rebooting from the m.2, but it asks for a boot device. Tried to boot from the hdd and it's stuck back on the windows 10 loading screen. Have disconnected both drives and tried to run them individually, but the same thing happens.

Airdroid over ip-address doesn't require a botnet account i think

do fresh install on your ssd directly. The migrating/cloning shit has probably fucked something big time

I didn't partition the drive after cloning, maybe that's why it didn't work.
A buddy is borrowing me a USB with Windows on it later. Hopefully that will fix it.

I have a drive that came up with bad sectors 2 years ago and finally got an error in the form of a CRC error when trying to unzip a large file.
The drive still works fine and the number of bad sectors didn't increase.
Did the ZIP get corrupted or write to a bad part of the drive or some shit?

So I had a question about this, I just downloaded this script and instead of installing it with tampermonkey I actually just ran the .js file. I now understand that was a retarded move, I'd like to know if the code of the script is dangerous for my computer.

Watch out, though, they have a limited number of sata unplugs before the connector gets a bit loose and the cables no longer click in

i want to run my own webserver with a database as a learning experience.
the website will have a simple multiplayer game made with javascript.
Im confused about how to achieve this. id definitely want the backend to be javascript too and people recommend node js.
what i dont understand is if i can run the entire webserver and database with just node js or if i need wamp/lamp.
all examples ive come across use node js to only host locally and without a database.

It doesnt look dangerous but i wanna know what this is. also if you only just dl'd that, your hours too late

How to run website
1)node.js can be used in place of apache/nginx but it runs like slow in most cases
2)obvioulsly you need L or W, where else you gonna run the site?
3)M is the mysql, depending on the sort of game it might not be too useful.
4)use react for your front end.
5)the 'p' in wamp/lamp is php. you dont need php if your using node.js

If your stack is windows / node / node or apache / mysql that works. Ive no experience in 3d games though so i cant help much further if thats the case

Will 8 spinning disks saturate a PCIe x16 working in x4 mode?

Situation. I have 2 disks. A PCIe x16 slot running in x4. And an LSI controller that is x8 that'll support 8 drives (dual mini sas). Eventually I plan to get 6 more disks. There's a second PCIe x16 slot that'll operate in x8 with the first x16 slot which my GPU is connected to, but it's a dual slot GPU and the HBA card gives off a lot of heat. I'd rather not have them so close to each other, so the only option is the bottom x16 slot.

bruh
e's trash

>Will 8 spinning disks saturate a PCIe x16 working in x4 mode?
PCIe 3.0 x4 is 4GB/s and hard drives usually do around 100MB/s on average and 200MB/s for the absolute best so there's no way you'd saturate that slot.

how to embiggen objects in 3D realspace?

What about PCIe 2.0? x16 2 and x16 3 are both PCIe 2.0, only the top slot that my GPU is attached to is PCIe 3.0.

2.0 would be half the bandwidth so PCIe 2.0 x4 is 2GB/s. Still fine.

Thanks.

What's the best way to realize a general purpose switch/case statement in Python?
I know that some people use dictionaries, but that's not useful, if you want to do more than just return a value. And if/elif/else becomes tedious after a while.

This is the one thing I don’t like about Python. Great scripting lang otherwise, but it needs a switch statement

People keep mentioning it with the whole exhentai take down. It must be some nickname for something else.

Is there a way to avoid online sales tax?

Do they say something like "its pining for the fjords", because that's a line from a very famous Monty Python sketch that iirc was used in that website when a gallery had been removed

I have Ubuntu 18.04 installed on a laptop.
I want to turn it into a VM image, so that the whole laptop can be run virtually.
How do?

I want to add tags to files on Windows 10 like gif png and webm files that you usually can't.

So I downloaded File Meta Association Manager and followed the instructions of this article: thewindowsclub.com/enable-tags-for-unsupported-files-windows but I still can't add tags to those files for some reason.

Does anyone have any idea what I should be doing?

xen would be a better choice

well probably, but my employer is asking for a VM image of my laptop, which only has an ubuntu partition on it.

lol, why? this seems like a clusterfuck waiting to happen

There's a simulation environment set up on the laptop, and they want an exact virtual copy that they can run when they want to.
To ensure that there's at least one image where everything is set up and working.
After that, the laptop will be formatted, and only the VM image remains.

ah fuck it I'll get the 860, it'll only be 12 extra bucks

Shitter coming through. I'm in charge of a small Wordpress Woocommerce site where I'm using WPClever's quick view plugin to display products, but since adding a button for the full product page inside the quick view requires a premium subscription, I thought I'd do it myself.
I've managed to add a button to the actual product page, but it doesn't show up in quick view. What do?

When i use a typical VPN such as PIA, is my vpn ip address the same of the "entry point"?

Let's say I set "Japan" in the configs to get a japanese ip, does my computer connect directly to that Japanese server or there is another entry point in between?

Like: my ip -> entry point vpn ip -> visible japanese ip

Problem solved, I changed woocommerce_single_product_summary to woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form and it now it shows.

I'm trying to get my domain (isuckcocks.xyz) to point to my server, but right now it only works for WWW.isuckcocks.xyz.
What do I have to put in the DNS records to redirect correctly without the WWW?

you have to have both WWW and non-www as a dns entry. you can use a dns redirect, a CNAME record or whatever to redirect one to another.

your traffic will go through the usual route, of course. VPN does not work by magic/teleportation. your packet go through the usual hops, enter the Japan server.

but, all packets are encrypted. and the encryption is so strong, no one can tell what you are doing. only "suspicious thing" here is that you have a lot of traffic to one single destination IP.

this is how a dev got caught at Verizon IIRC, that he had a lot of VPN traffic.

I used Acronis.
> load up Acronis Live ISO
> create image of drive (its very space efficient, unlike dd)
> boot vm with acronis as live disc
> use the created image as source
> target vm disk

It works. I used this method for several machines, Linux, Windows, they all work.

> but why Acronis
dd creates a 1:1 sized image. it's just a pain in the butt.

Is there a way to modify snapchat so it doesnt see i screenshotted something on a rooted redmi note 7 pro?

e-hentai is a site where you could browse and share various categories of hentai, adult images (like jap porn), manga, etc. but, this site, was "legal". you only found manga, hentai that complied with laws.

Ie.: no loli shit. no vore.
How did they do this, when people could upload anything? Simple. Everything that was "deleted", ended was simply hidden from the public. If you went to "exhentai", you could log in with your e-hentai login, and see everything. Including illegal shit.

So, why would people be interested in fucked up shit like loli stuff? Well, good question. Fuck knows.

It would be rather impossible desu. Each PDF has a different structure and it's very hard to tell what's what. What's a headline, what's text, etc. So conversion is really hard.

it might have other issues too. check SMART data. bad sectors is just one problem.

ie.: the drive was dying, now its dead and dying.

get MLC, who cares about brands...

I'd just convert them using GPU + burn in. I mean while you shitpost, your PC can work.

peer 2 peer. it's in the name.

it may be free, both AWS + Google + Azure have "free tier".

Fucking clueless retard pajeets. i bet my ps4 can't even read a ntfs hard drives so i don't even need to check if it would play muh anime colleciton

ASS is a heavily advanced sub. it's extremely hard to render/support. and only weebs use it. so...

So basically, a proprietary backup, which can then be restored in the VM?
When I click "Try now", will the trial version suffice?
And lastly, I know how to mount the iso in the VM, but how do I make the backup data accessible to the VM?
Thanks already!

> proprietary
Well, proprietary at least works. Haha. Jokes aside, Clonezilla/dd both creates a fuckhuge 1:1 copy, which is pretty fucking useless and hard to store even temporarily. Acronis compresses + deduplicates if needed. And the ISO versions have been up for decades on p2p sites, no one cares.

so just pirate the iso, its everywhere. no need to crack or anything just use Rufus to put it on a pendrive, whatever.

> how do I make the backup data accessible to the VM?
Acronis can open network shares, FTP, etc. So just set up an ftp server for example on the host, connect, and boom.

I have an old (almost a decade old lol) iPhone 4. Yeah it's pretty old but I can do with it all the little things I need to do with it so...

So this morning it was working well, no problem. Now, like some hours before the home button just doesn't work anymore. It didn't fall to the floor or received any hit between this morning and now. How the fuck something just stop working like that? Is this planned obsolesce?

How to best keep in touch with people without using social media? Apparently, calling someone is difficult to do. I considered Telegram, but no one uses it. I have Whatapp, but IIRC, it's part of Facebook now, so I have some reservations about using it long-term. Is FB messenger the same as Whatsapp? What else is there?

Thanks, I got everything. Already had an FTP server on the host machine and found a torrent.
Just one more question so I know whether I will need to borrow an external HDD or can just use an USB:
The Ubuntu partition is 500GB in size, but only has aabout 15GB of data on it. When you say compressed + deduplicated, can I expect the Acronis backup to be about 15GB as well, or is it more like 300GB?

I want to try this to see if it's accumulated dirt and it gets fixed. But I don't have 99% alcohol, I have 96% alcohol. Here she says that if you don't use 99% alcohol it can damage your phone even more because it has some water in it. Do you think that it will damage the phone?

What do you mean "by the same? It's part of fucking Facebook so if you have reservations using WhatsApp, that is also part of Facebook, then using FACEBOOK Messenger is more the same.

>It would be rather impossible desu. Each PDF has a different structure and it's very hard to tell what's what. What's a headline, what's text, etc. So conversion is really hard.

Question on forensics for USB's (specifically examining data removal from a usb). Are there any methods to track on a FAT32 USB whether the file contents have been moved to a pc? Here are the variables:

>No access to pc to check device record
>No originating MD5 hash to compare files to
>Only can go off file mod dates that don't change when files are copied and moved, at least from the USB itself.
