So I use Wireshark and I'm good to go to check packets and what information is a program sending? Is there any kind of standard or thing I should be looking for?

>>107971788
New captchas killed some bots. I'm also assuming 4chan lost some users with the captcha bullshit because it literally doesn't let you make posts. No one likes to wait 5 minutes, redo captcha, rangeban... and be under these constant humiliation rituals only for your post to be rejected because the thread was archived while you were waiting.

>>107971841
It's not that simple unless you're very lucky.
Wireshark will show you the traffic, but most programs encrypt the data so you'll have no way of reading it. But you'll know that the program send something, which is useful in itself.
To decrypt the traffic you'll need a proxy and a Certification Authority, and the program you're studying needs to cooperate (respect the proxy setting) or you need to force all traffic through the proxy and hope that the program doesn't use certificate pinning, in which case it's game over.
The last option is to debug/disassemble the application and study how it works. This is the most difficult, unless the program is really simple and also doesn't include anti-tampering measures.

>>107971788
few real people are willing to put up with the new captcha, whilst it doesnt change anything for bots and trolls
the new captcha was cracked only 2 hours after its implementation

>>107971925
>>107971854
so all active 4chan posters were just mobile fags?
on PC you eventually get a captcha easier tha anything they've ever done before

>>107971949
I doubt it because I'm a phonefag right now. Using 4chan on the pc sucks, and the UI sucks balls, and I don't care what they say because many users are just contrarians.

The problem with 4chan is the retarded bans, rabgebans and that the western world decided to give internet access to millions of browns, and we have also more bots now. That's why posting quality has decreased.

In the retarded effort of gatekeeping so hard they have closed the door to genuine users while the spammers and trolls do not care because they are vermin that post online 24/7. Spammers can and will evade bans.

>>107971949
no, fewer people are willing to put up with the high risk - no reward nature of the current captcha
its not fun to post if your posts are rejected 9/10 times
effectively the captcha acts as a filter only for genuine posters, the spammers and bots have autosolvers

>>107971977
Ok but 99% of phone posters reset the cookie so they always get the annoying captcha.
On PC you usually end up having the cookie for weeks so you end up with the one where you merely use the periphereal vision to complete it while checking on your cat chewing something, 2 slides oftne or pick the different shape among 3.

The reality is that these people make bots or ip reset or have multiple proxy pages where they can post and troll again because this is a game to them.

While a normal user isn't gonna accept this continuing waste of time. A guy with a job and shit to do tries to post, waits 5 minutes, the captcha shits itself, the thread is archived because no one can post and reaches the page limit. This user says fuck it and goes to another page or does anything else. The page punishes occasional posters and rewards spammers.

Congratulations, you have dissuaded genuine posters from using the site while the 24/7 online autist programmer trolls keep doing what they do. And spamming and ill intentioned propaganda groups have no problem using your tax money to mass-but 4chan passes and spam. Great job

>>107972072

I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask but I feel like it's an easy fix and I'm too fucking stupid.

I have this little problem where whenever I want to save a picture from twitter/X, it always put me in my Rouge The Bat Folder, instead of putting me back on whatever last folder I saved a pic before.

It only happen on Twitter/X, nowhere else.

Is it really water in AIO water coolers?
I ask because I live in a cold place and keep my PC in a pretty cold part of my room. In theory it shouldn't get too far below 32. But i assume if the water in my AIO freezes solid, then melts, it will fuck everything, so, if it's really water I want to move my PC somewhere warmer.

>>107972697
It's not pure water, though I don't remember what it is exactly. Have you tried a quick search for this? It can't be very secret information.
If it somehow freezes, the danger is not going to be the melting it's going to be the expansion during freezing, which could likely burst the pipes or fuck up the pump and radiator. Where the fuck do you live that your room gets below freezing though wtf anon

>>107972278
Everything is bad.
Brave went really hard on shilling their weird crypto token back in the day, which made a lot of people annoyed. It also advertised a full privacy focus from the get-go, but at the start it was actually kind of mediocre, and they took some time in implementing proper privacy measures in the browser itself; AFAIK it's not actually all that bad nowadays.

The main issue with Brave is that it's still Chromium, thus contributing to the total Chromium hegemony. In practice this means, for example, that while they're maintaining manifest V2 support for now, they refused to promise to maintain it forever; which makes total sense from a business perspective ("forever" is a long time) and is a reasonable and honest answer - better than promising "forever" now and then u-turning in a few years, like what Mozilla did with suddenly removing their "we will never collect your data, that's a promise" statement from their FAQ. But it does clearly indicate that ultimately they're beholden to Google's whim to some degree, and if Google decides to kill some crucial adblocker features, all they have to do is make it really hard for anyone else to keep maintaining them (e.g. rearchitect core components for no reason to make the old code completely incompatible) and Brave will be forced to follow suit if they want to keep their Chromium core up to date with security patches.

It's not like there's any GOOD browser out there though. Firefox is in the complete shitter too. Firefox with tweaks is fine to use (Firefox forks like Librewolf are mostly placebo IMO), Brave is alright out of the box though.

The website is throttling/blocking your IP. In theory this should be a 400-class error (clientside issues) but they might be giving back a 500-class error (server side issue) as a sort of shadowban mechanism, "oh, it's not that you're banned it's just our server isn't working, don't bother trying to access us in other ways!".

It could also be some misconfigured proxy or geoblocking or load-balancing setup, aka a genuine error, but either way the point is your IP is being blocked. This is not super uncommon.

>>107975003
its a bit-for-bit copy of the drive, if it were encrypted with LUKS (for example) it will also copy the LUKS header and key.
You would need to run cryptsetup to open it before mounting.
It will also work for other partiton types and encryption setups, as long as the key is on the same drive that is being cloned.

After installing AdGuard I'm getting a lot of issues browsing sites in general.
For instance, pages straight-up wouldn't load (pic related, this one is forced by searching a nonexistent site but it happens to normal sites like duckduckgo or r*ddit), some elements wouldn't show up (media on Wikipedia), and other stuff. These all get fixed after refreshing once or twice, but it's so damn annoying whenever it happens.

At this point I'm considering ditching AdGuard altogether because I use PrivateBrowsing at all times so there's no sort of cookies or session tracking to be worried about, I'm never logged in to anything, and ads were never a nuisance for me so I never felt anything different having AdGuard on or not, besides YouTube ads being impossible to block.

Is there any fix or settings adjustment that I might be missing to prevent this?

You're not supposed to use the laptop keyboard, it's bad for your health.
>inb4 I'm only using it on the train
Unless you're the train driver, the keycaps should not get any sort of shine over a decade.

>>107974423
They have a monopoly on like 50% of web traffic (which probably works out to like 95% of traffic outside of google, amazon, and facebook) so they can do whatever they want
They also work fine for 99% of normiecattle users who have the latest google chrome with no privacy extensions or whatever, or on mobile phones with unrooted and tracker-filled OSes. So if they only work 80% of the time for the 1% of people actually using some privacy enabling shit, and only work 30% of the time for the 0.001% of people who actually have a decent schizo setup, they literally do not care

>>107975094
No. Suffer.
Maybe you can smooth them yourself or something. 3dprintfags sometimes use an acetone vapour chamber to smooth out ABS 3d prints. I don't know if that'll be good enough to actually shine the keycaps. Conversely it might be possible to somehow micro-sand them but I'm also not sure if you'l be able to get it even and not ruin the keycaps.

Your best bet is unironically just using an external keyboard. Redditors have even come up with ultrathin ergonomic travel keyboards that fit in your pocket and you can just plop them on top of the laptop keyboard when travelling, but really unless you're a literal nomad you can probably make do just fine with having a nice keyboard at home and/or at work.

I'm mainly worried about potential viruses and being less secure because I'm not going to have malware bytes anymore. I use lots of hentai sites and like to have the added protection. Is it worth it?

>>107975970
most of the time, on linux you will not be on the administrator account, malware without admin privileges is relatively easy to recover from
ideally you'd quarantine off your hentai escapades, aka don't use the same browser to bank with that you use to browse sketchy websites, even better if you switch user, and even better than that if you use a VM or different machine entirely. There is no USD cost to using linux so yeah I think it is worth it, but also I don't really go to random sites anymore, just pixiv, twitter, nhentai, sadpanda, gelbooru, danbooru, r34, /d/ and /h/.

>>107976160
>malware without admin privileges is relatively easy to recover from
I don't get this point of view. If you're an administrator of a time-sharing system in the 90s with fifty user accounts, then yeah, one of them getting malware or otherwise fucking up his user account is much less bad than root-level malware.
But in this day and age, if your single-user system is infected with user-level malware, they can
>exfiltrate all your files (crypto wallets, browser session cookies, password databases, personal documents with your dox)
>keylog you as long as it's running (i.e. until you discover it), getting any and all passwords you enter in the meantime
>encrypt your files and ransomware you
You don't need root for any of that. If you're infected by any remotely competent malware, you're fucked.

Now yes getting rid of user-level malware is slightly easier, but if your files are all lost to ransomware and your browser session cookies have been hijacked and your passwords keylogged, then whether I have to reinstall the OS or not is not going to be the main worry in my mind. In fact it's also rarely crystal clear whether the malware had root access or not, so reinstalling is probably always a good idea anyway.

>>107976160
Those are the same sites I use besides hentaifox mainly if I just get ublock origin on linux with firefox will I be mostly fine? I can switch between admin and normal users. Although I'd prefer to keep all my stuff under the same standard user instead of making another one just for hentai

>>107976275
Should I be worried about malware if I just use ublock and firefox? I do go on some hentai sites.....

>>107976403
If your browser is up to date then nah. Browsers take security very seriously and it's very rare that a significant security exploit is known in the wild and remains unpatched in a major browser. 0-days exist but random hentai sites are not going to be using them on random literally-who visitors.
But make sure your browser is actually up to date. If you avoid updating it for a while, or if you're on a linux distro with slow-to-update repositories and stuff, it's technically possible for some brand new exploit to become publicly known, and patched in existing browser versions, but you'd be stuck on an older one that's still vulnerable. Still, it's not very likely in most cases because usually security issues are not publicly disclosed until some time after browsers have had a chance to patch it, developing an exploit for a known issue also takes a while, and again random hentai sites are probably not at the bleeding edge of internet exploits.

Ublock also helps a lot since it probably blocks the overwhelming majority of shady third-party scripts, so you're pretty safe unless the hentai site itself wants to hack you (AND has bleeding edge exploits AND there's actually bleeding edge exploits available out there for a very recently discovered security flaw AND you're on a browser version outdated enough to be vulnerable to a publicly known security flaw).

I made an account with Indeed to look for a job. While I was logged in to it, I visited Glassdoor website, which I had never been to before, and it asked me to sync with my Indeed account. All I did was push one button to consent to this sync and suddenly the glassdoor website knew my name and email from Indeed.

How was this info passed between the websites? I am guessing this means if you visit websites while logged in to something else it might be possible for the other sites to see more info than what they are supposed to?

If it helps I am using the Brave browser on Arch Linux with scripting disabled. I realize this is a retarded question but I don't know shit about the internet.

Game development has been in the shitter for years what makes you think it's going to be any better with development in general going downhill now
In fact I think game development is particularly susceptible to AI, because bugs are somewhat acceptable in games and a lot of game development involves rapid prototyping to test out gameplay features so you can vibeslop your way through it. Not every game is like that and some are genuinely well-coded, or polished to be nearly bug-free, but a big chunk of the industry is honestly not going to suffer much of a drop in quality upon switching to vibecoding.

>>107977262

When I look in the event viewer, at the top I can see the critical error (the kernel power event unexpected shut down) and I can see the time stamp at which it took place.

Then in the next section directly below it I see the log. Is the only way to find what happened before and after it by manually scrolling through to check after sorting by date/time?

Sorry for the dumb question, this is the first time I've interacted with the event viewer. Also glad you were able to sort out your issue.

Anons, seriously, am I fucking retarded?
I've never had to mess with $PATH before, but i was doing the whole "krita as an AppImage" thing and since it's not on my $PATH, it won't launch from terminal when I type "krita". Tried to get it working, wasn't able to.
That's ok! I use an app launcher, but then, I tried to install hyprshot and I'm just getting my ass kicked. I've tried putting that fucking script on EVERY SINGLE ONE of the $PATH things. /usr/bin/, $HOME/.local/bin/, you fucking name it, it's there.
But the command "hyprshot" just refuses to fucking work. The script is working, using "bash hyprshot" and "/.hyprshot" works when I'm on the folder, but it simply doesn't appear at all on my path. When I do a "which hyprshot" it also says it isn't on my path folders when I FUCKING KNOW IT'S THERE BECAUSE I PUT IT THERE

And there's also another problem: what if I actually need to change stuff on my $PATH in the future? will I never be able to do this fucking thing? seriously, AM I RETARDED? Is this just absurdly easy and I'm just honest to god retarded? Because it seemed easy, drop the file, maybe make a symlink and bam, but I'm not being able to do this fucking thing.

Do you want just the data, or the complete page with styles and everything?
In python you'll need three libraries: requests (to connect to the website and get the page), beautifulsoup4 (to generate a data structure from the HTML), and sqlite3 (for the database where you store information).
For JS-heavy websites you may be better served by Selenium.
If you need the complete page, with styles and scripts and everything, just use `wget` and it'll do everything for you, including adapting the links and resource URLs to local ones.

Should I go 60k into debt for a cs degree in 2026, be honest?

ive just gotten a new nvidia shield and im having a bit of trouble with it
ive got a portable hard drive connected to the shield but when i try to move files to it over wifi from my laptop im only getting speeds of up to 20mbps
the hard drive and the wifi i have is capable of faster speeds
does anyone know what the issue might be and how to increase the transfer speeds?

>>107985102
What are your other choices?
I'll be honest, as a very well paid senior dev at a well-funded startup, I've been shielded from most of the issues with the economy so far. Layoffs didn't matter to me, chatgpt coming out didn't matter to me, inflation doesn't really change all that much in my day to day life, and even the progressive improvement of LLMs hasn't really had any impact on my job for the longest time.
But nowadays coding agents have gotten good enough that it is actually objectively better to pair-program with an agent and have it write most of the actual lines of code while you supervise and dictate the architecture. Junior dev jobs have been on the decline and now I honestly believe AI is pretty much at the level of replacing most juniors; there's some tradeoffs and in some ways a human junior will be better but in some ways a human junior will in fact be worse. And he will almost always be slower at whatever task you give him.
I'm now at the point of genuinely asking myself what my job will look like in a year or in three years, despite having been in a position so far to ignore pretty much all the issues with the CS job market, layoffs and muh AI up till very very recently.

I have no idea what the entry level job market is like right now or what it will be like in 3-4 years once you finish your degree. There's a very real chance it might be wiped out, and it will be impossible to start a career using a CS degree, and then we'll probably face a competency crisis as there's nobody to replace senior devs. We won't have AGI by then, but we might have good enough LLMs that make people think seniors can be replaced and instead just create endless slop, just plausible enough to implode the entire profession but not good enough to keep the digital world going.

Now is either the best or the worst time to get into CS. Probably the worst, honestly. I don't know of any good alternatives though. Go into maths?

Do opus. 128kbps is good enough for listening to pretty much anything, 80-96kbps is fine if you don't need high quality and want to save extra space.
mp3 will also be fine if you want to listen to it on old or esoteric devices with no opus support, but it's just going to be objectively worse at the same bitrates. 128kbps mp3 is going to be mostly fine though

Oh right I feed him." Till I reset the browser again.

Converting FLAC to 320kbps will already be a 80-90% filesize reduction, how much more do you need to save?

She does wanna jump in to the Linux side and is already hating W11 with her new laptop because of the bullshit it has. She "needs" W11 because her schoolwork requires Windows stuff like Solidworks for CAD work. They won't accept her work on something like FreeCAD or Blender.

2. Is there a 4chan thread gallery download plugin, or do I have to stick with Android and use something like Chance to do that? Or am I retarded about using 4chan X?

>>107990526
Why don't you just have Windows on one machine and Linux on the other? does she understand dual booting? having to restart to switch back and forth? Windows not supporting EXT4?
If she wants to trial linux that bad why not familiarize herself with WSL, I assume she already has the Windows machine.

So to convert them to 320 kbps I just:

NTA.
No, I haven't done what you're talking about specifically but I use ffmpeg all the time, it never automatically copies the input parameters, if you want something explicitly it is best to find the setting and specify it, otherwise it uses sane defaults that most people are fine with, if you're an audiophile you have to read the documentation and verify

i think this is pretty sane, but what if, instead of insert() on POST, it just queued them up on the server, and only inserted them when user clicks "confirm uploads" or "push changes"? should it write the csv at exactly that moment or does it not matter?
i dont THINK i'm going to have any more than one user but it's frustrating that i cant wrap my head around what i'd do if there had to be.
adding to this, insert() is actually supposed to use exif data. also a part of me wants to really minimize the role of the http server, have it JUST do uploads, and that's it. what if i really wanted to combine the sorting/processing and move them to the further back end? (is there a word for a back- back end? im imagining communicating further back with sockets?)

>>107991223
>constructs array `filenames` in same order as items in csv
why? when you use ssh or ftp the ls command generates a list of files in the directory at that moment,

What you're doing is building a playlist over HTTP, right?
Sounds sane, just keep in mind the corner cases, like: the user uploading two files with the same name; disconnecting half-way through the upload; adding, reordering, then deleting a file without saving the playlist.

Two files can have identical EXIF data, or no EXIF.

There's an import/synchronize function. I use it all of the time. On the old database, open KeepassX's/Keepass2 sync function from file -> merge with database (KeepassX) or synchronize with database (Keepass2). It drags all the missing entries into the old database.

Also next time, put that shit in a 7zip archive with a pretty good password and keep it in your email as a draft. They're not going to crack it within your lifetime and this sort of thing won't happen again. If you're paranoid about that, go to the home server thread and look into making some network storage that you can access anywhere.

Yes you cannot control the FLAC bitrate because it's lossless. It uses as much bitrate as is necessary to not lose information.

not that anon but you sound like you know what you're talking about so I have a question for you
I'm not a total music nerd but I can tell when there's a noticeable difference between low bitrate music and lossless and while I have a proper speaker at home, I almost always exclusively listen to music on headphones (wired) and bluetooth via airpods pro when outdoors
Now I have a bunch of lossless flacs on my home server that I reencoded to AAC so I can play them on my iPhone for when I'm outside. Do you have a recommended encoding setting to save space without compromising on quality?

>>107994396
>there's a noticeable difference between low bitrate music and lossless and while I have a proper speaker at home
>speaker at home
>so I can play them on my iPhone for when I'm outside
>when I'm outside
NTA, if you can't descern the difference as easily when outside, then try 96kbps opus, if you notice a difference then increase it to 128kbps, it is really up to your ear, to tell you what is perceptually lossless for you

>>107994396
I don't know the settings by heart, and it sounds like you have a good grasp of the concepts anyway. Just look up the options of the AAC encoder and look up what bitrates are considered good for AAC.
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC
A quick search shows people claiming 192k-224k AAC is approxmately equivalent to 320k mp3.

If you're going to go the AAC route with ffmpeg you should use libfdk_aac and make sure to set the cutoff correctly because it defaults to 14 or 15khz

the upper right textbox that say 'options' in the quick reply, can be used to sage. I used to double click it so I could easily fill it in but it's gone. even a single click doesn't show the option anymore. how can I get it back?
I know you can delete things from the list with the 'DEL' button, but I don't think I did that

try typing it in, it should be an e-mail field that your browser tries to autofill

I've done that many times, it doesn't come back
also sometimes I use a disposable mail and that does stay there. I think the specific word 'sage' doesn't come back

WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR WINDOWS TO MAINTAIN CONNECTION TO A PERSONAL HOTSPOT FROM AN ANDROID DEVICE?

>Have SIM card in Android smartphone.
>Network is superfast, no issues at all.
>Turn personal hotspot on, connect with any other Android smrtphone, no issues at all.
>Try to connect to the personal hotspot Wi-Fi from Windows 11.
>Pretends to be connected.
>No internet... no internet... disconnects from the network while the icon is still showing its connected.
>After 20 minutes, you can use it for maybe 2 minutes.
>Then immediately disconnects again for no reason.
There are no settings in Android that cause this, no battery savings, no automatic turning off. the piece of shit Windows 11 just pretends that the network is unavailable while the Android device is still doing the personal hotspot. Any time Windows is having trouble, you can instantly connect to the hotspot from any Android device. How many devices are connected make 0 difference. 0 devices connected = Windows refuses to connect, pretends the network is unreachable.

How does one conveniently make videos for 4chan with subtitles by using ffmpeg(on linux if that matters)?
I can now make clips without audio in two simple commands but to also add correct subs proved to be quite bothersome. I had to extract the srt from the source file and manually edit the time stamps of the srt for them to match the clip since I only managed to make this work ffmpeg -i video.avi -vf subtitles=subtitle.srt out.avi from here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HowToBurnSubtitlesIntoVideo
A workaround this issue is recording the screen but the output quality seems to suffer with that method. Tried looking in the archive first but I only found scripts that I couldn't use.

Realistically can mpv handle a lua script that balances out extreme colour grading? Like if you have a scene with a lot of whites that are more yellow that it ups the other colours to be more visible or to reduce the yellow? I don't know if it would turn out more bleak or over saturated? Does mpv or ffmpeg have a filter for changing colour balance?

should i extract exif immediately at POST or should the server limit itself to dumping uploads to the host and something else actually processes them?

Quick. Recommend me a 200$ laptop with decent battery life to get through a programming lecture (not a CS major) for university. I have an e7440 that I use with a genuine dell battery, but the battery took a shit, and I can't run it without having it plugged in. It doesn't make sense to buy another battery for a 12 year old machine, and I don't trust chink batteries on the thing because I'll be doing assignments on it and don't want it to explode.

I broke the ZIF connector off a laptop that connects the mainboard to the keyboard, touchpad, and power button. I don't have the skill nor equipment to SMD it back on. I tried to use Katpon tape, but there's not enough force to keep contact. I then tried taping a makeshift shim made of cardboard, but that didn't work either. Assuming reattaching the connector is completely off the table, is there anything else I can do to make sure there's enough contact between the pins when the laptop is reassemebled?

>>107999791
a newer CPU will support modern CPU instructions allowing you to do more with code, it will also have a more modern video encoder and decoder on its integrated GPU, incase you do web/watch lectures

you wont need more than 8GB most of the time, and that is plenty common on new and old machines, since you're just writing code, documents, and web browsing the speed of the RAM isn't that important

Used thinkpad. Something like a T480, or an early gen T14 AMD if you can find them for a good price. Though I don't know if the T14 series has easily replaceable batteries; I'm pretty sure the T480 does, maybe T490.
A used dell latitude or other business laptop is also probably fine. I don't know the good models off the top of my head, but basically your goal is to find the newest model that's available used at your budget.
It's not that hard to find a replacement battery, and chink batteries are usually just fine too.
Modern thinkpads are more locked down than before (e.g. soldered ram, non-modular battery). But everything is shit and they're still better than some cheapo consumer or gaymer laptop. True "good old thinkpads" are by now old enough that they're mostly collector's items.

Try to aim for 16GB ram. Yes it's probably possible to get away with 8, but I think at your budget you should be able to find used models with 16, and it's really much better even just for running the horrid garbage that are modern web browsers for modern web pages.

>>107999945
Probably not, solder doesn't just keep it in place it's also conductive, so builds a solid connection bridge regardless of the pad contact.
The equipment is a $20 soldering iron (pinecil will work fine, if you don't want to hunt aliexpress for random knockoff stations) and $5 worth of solder. And a $2 "practice board" from aliexpress if you want to.

I want to make a script that scans a subreddit for a keyword and alerts me as soon as possible when a new post with that keyword is posted, how do I do that now that their API is locked and I don't want to get my static IP banned by scraping

>>108002743
>API is locked
I have no idea what reddit does, can you unlock it somehow? Are there rate limits or is it completely unavailable to the public?

Anyway, use someone else's IP, or scrape very slowly. Depending how strict "as soon as possible" is and how fastt he subreddits are, you can do something like re-fetch the page once per minute or so. Now this would definitely not trigger any spamming alerts but it's vaguely possible they might have bot detection trigger if you're reliably loading the page once a minute every minute 24/7, again I have no idea how reddit works.
Try using a VPN or using a cheap VPS to host the script. I think reddit requires you to log in to be able to browse under a VPN, it would probably be the same with a datacenter IP from a VPS, but you can make a throwaway account and see how fast or slow you can scrape without getting hit.

Nope, it used to be public but they recently locked it behind individually approved requests that they just automatically mass reject or don't respond to at all

async/await specifically. even the premise is confusing. if some processes are IN SYNC, or SYNCHRONIZED, shouldnt that mean theyre happening in parallel? calling 2 functions "synchronously" though apparently refers to making 2 procedural calls normal_function(); normal_function();. also, in an async function, if you await 10 promises, those promises are executing in series. the function will not return until they are all resolved. it totally doesnt match what I thought it might be.

is the trick that you can "synchronously" call async functions and all of their awaits will seem to be resolving concurrently/in parallel?

If I were to make a partition fir /usr or /home, would it make switching between DE's easier? I know that the directories would still contain some settings for each DE, I'm just wondering if they would really fuck with things or if it would be easy to keep that from being a problem.
For context, i'm using Linux Mint with Cinnamon and wanted to see if XFCE would be better for gayming.

>>108004390
>IN SYNC, or SYNCHRONIZED, shouldnt that mean theyre happening in parallel?
No; if they're happening in parallel, that means they're free to run at whatever speed each of them runs. There's nothing synchronising them if they're running in parallel. From a multithreading point of view, they can interleave however they want, or one could execute entirely before the other even starts, or the other could do the same, etc. There are no guarantees, no synchronisation between their execution.
So when it's in parallel, it's asynchronous. "Synchronous" then refers to the opposite by elimination: synchronous things are those that run in the foreground of your current thread or function, blocking further execution until they finish. In a sense, you are synchronising with that block of code; it runs exactly at the point you call it, and then your following code runs exactly after the function finishes, i.e. it synchronises with the function's execution and all runs in an orderly sequential fashion.

>also, in an async function, if you await 10 promises, those promises are executing in series. the function will not return until they are all resolved. it totally doesnt match what I thought it might be.
"await" is a synchronisation point, it is specifically the primitive used to synchronise with something running asynchronously in the background. If you want all promises to run in parallel, then don't await them, or rather create all the promises first to make sure they are all running and then you can start calling await to synchronise with when they finish (once they are already running in parallel in the background). Most languages have helpers along the lines of "await_all" to make this more convenient when you have an array of promises.

The trick is that anything async runs in the background, and "await" is an explicit stopping point to synchronise with that background task and block until it finishes.

>>108004526
It shouldn't have any impact. Just install the different DEs. Are you using a display manager (e.g. SDDM, LightDM or similar)? If so it should let you select which one to launch on login. If you're using startx by hand, you can manually set up different scripts to start different sessions.

I just found out that the MXM format for GPUs was literally DESIGNED for use in laptops SPECIFICALLY to allow GPU upgrades, and that there are a MULTITUDE of these cards available and some of them are even quite recent! Like there's an RTX 4050 mxm card designed to be used in a laptop!?

So why the FUCK is it that the last laptop I've seen with upgradable graphics was a Dell Vostro 1700 equipped with a Core 2 Duo CPU and first released in 2007?! AND IT DIDN'T EVEN USE AN MXM BASED CONNECTOR??? You could choose between a GeForce 8400 GS or a GeForce 8600 GT and LITERALLY NO OTHER OPTIONS. And the ONLY difference between the two was that the 8600 had a whopping 256mb of VRAM instead of 128mb! You didn't even get extra compute cores!

Everyone you ask will tell you laptops went away from socketed CPUs ages ago and upgradeable GPUs even earlier. "You just can't upgrade a laptop CPU or GPU in the modern world because they solder everything to the mobo to make it thin and a little cheaper" and yes you can try to desolder a chip and swap it but not many people are comfortable with that. BUT WE HAVE THE FUCKING SOLUTION.

I don't give a FUCK how thick my laptop is! If it's not at LEAST 3/4 of an inch its wasting it's potential.

Most laptop platforms are bandwidth constrained and can't meaningfully support GPU upgrades outside specific niche cases. Also the problem of recycling cooling hardware and fixed electrical capabilities of a given laptop platform. It's everything difficult about desktop GPU upgrades but worse and the average customer is way dumber.

Referring to the new or old machines? I bought a new battery 2 years ago for the E7440 - an authentic dell battery. And I suspect that although it was a "new" and unused battery, it had been sitting on the shelf all those years and was still old, so it failed sooner than a truly new battery.
I appreciate the suggestion for the T480, and it looks up my alley. I will keep the 16GB of ram in mind.
