These kinds of import restrictions are aimed at bulk shipments. They can't screen the tidal wave of parcels from Asia so the unit you buy off of Banggood will probably arrive. Also they're all shit so buy whatever.

Well tar.bz2 is just an archive, so we won't know what's actually inside without you telling us.
Some are just the actual program inside, or if you downloaded the source you'll will have to compile it. The basic steps are just to (pwd must be inside the folder)
./configure
make
make install
Will work in a pinch, but it might not be set up the way you want, it's just the standard build. When you build from source there might be options you'd want to disable/enable. Just compiling without knowing shouldn't be standard procedure.
Also doing it that way won't actually make a "package" that is installed, won't be listed with the rest of installed packages. Probably are tools to make a package as the build process, but they are distribution-particular so no idea what it'd be under Manjaro.

Best option would be to keep to things available through your package manager as much as possible unless you reallly need a newer version or program that isn't on there.

Also if you're gonna into Linux it'd probably be a good idea to get into the habit of actually googling things first, both cause stuff like this has already been asked by every other beginner, and you won't have to wait around for answers.
"install tar.bz2 manjaro" on google gets you loads of different variations of the same answer.

Have a practice run by figuring out how you make a package from source under Manjaro.

Can get a receiver with wireless speakers. If you don't have a receiver, it will make all the difference with sound. Wired or wireless. Thrift stores may surprise you
with pretty new equipment for very cheap. I got one that works off Itunes, I-phone
playlists. Haven't used it but the receiver is I think 2 3 years old and was $30 bucks. It is still in production in the audio video home theater system market.
So it is around $400 500 bucks new, somewhere around there. You need a wireless usb to use it for a wireless connection that is unique to the receiver.

At times you may come across wired speakers that work with a particular model
that you need a receiver that can decode newer format signals. Wired you may find people have cut off the special connections thing it would work with their receiver, to find their receiver cannot process the signal correctly. As well, wireless speakers, some high-end, all you need is the receiver that can accommodate the speakers, and maybe need to order special connectors, if wired to make a connection.

what all do i need to keep my identity as obscured as possible online? Ive been tryna not to jump into this stupid. if i :
>factory reset my computer
>edit my device's MAC address
>use socks
>use hide.me
>keep vpn shit running constantly if its online
>never log into anything attatched to my real identity on the device
is that enough?
is it still unsafe to use my own wifi/ethernet with all that?

my device is a macbook air
i know i will have to create a new apple ID to set it up when i reset it, any advice on the best method of doing so? should i just create a new hotmail acc thru a vpn?

i also have a old iphone 4 (never registered to me) i was gonna use in conjunction with it and just buy a burner SIM for after clearing it out with phoneclean and jailbreaking it. But im worried that even the burner SIM is a bad idea to have linked to the macbook air in any way cos it will still still be location specific. should i make a tertiary apple ID for the phone if i want to use it too? i was hoping to avoid doing so cos it would make everything more difficult than if i could just link them.

i have a handful of other windows computers i can use if i need but i don't wanna doom them to a life of secrecy

this is babby's first post so im sorry its prob been made 100 times

I think you can on mac computers, but routers, some will allow you to do that. If you get anthers mac address by coincidence if may cause some issues. Use an old router and change the mac a bit using that mac address. I guess ne could use hardware mac addresses just as well.

On a mac, one would change a MAC address if browsing, whatever, wireless.
On a home router, internet, it would make little difference. Some travel with routers, where they could change the MAC on these. Not much more complicated.

Compliments to a router ot basic internet connection is, dnscrypt or other dns encryption. Otherwise you have your dns queries in the US for how long, 3 years was the law. Reality, why have your ISP, hold a DNS request for a period of time,
when you are just browsing recipes, sports, etc. Actually, ISPS, servers seem to get overloaded and slow to resolve ip addresses. Maybe because they have to store DNS queries by law, by default.

I have a quite large collection of porn in high quality that takes up a lot of space, and recently I got to thinking it´s actually kinda unnecessary cause most of them there are just certain segments and part it is I´m saving them for.
But I´m also horrified at the thought of losing quality from my permanent stash by cutting in a video editor and re-encoding. Is there a way to cut without a re-encode? Since there is no shifting or manipulation really, only trimming the fat.

Or am I overly worried of quality loss? Is there a way to make sure it stays pretty much intact?

Your shitty porn videos aren't Tigole encodes of blu rays. The quality is already going to be low. You can try trimming and copying with ffmpeg or you could just re-encode with a reasonable bitrate and look at the result.

Use ffmpeg, that you compiled yourself preferably, and turn all those huge resolution wmv's, flv's into mp4 or mkv, you can save tons of space without losing quality at all (for any sort of video) with the right ffmpeg command for you.

If you don't use linux or can't compile, use Avidemux or Handbrake to make the files smaller without losing quality, it's possible but look it up yourself. You can also still use Virtualdub (with all the plugins and shit it's still pretty good) to do that, turn videos into x265 mp4's, that's the best compression method possible, all possible to do with ffmpeg, avidemux and virtualdub, not sure about handbrake, it only wants to save files as m4u (which is weird) or mkv's.

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2017/10/big-canadian-isp-is-actually-asking-the-canadian-government-for-internet-censorship/

Anybody noticed anything ? Would using a different DNS than the default ones prevent this? I'm already using a different one because Bell sucks and are behind the times in other ways, no DNSSEC dns servers etc. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 seemed great for a while but them going after nazichan is the kind of first potshot in a possible trend.

Having to use 4 search engines nowadays to really find shit and not torrents, I'm on my private trackers and it'll stay that way. But it's getting hard to find just regular websites/blogs that are not anything extremist, some can be political..but, we're already taking it in the ass from corporatism, now the state? In Canada? Yeah the story is from late 2017...looks like the Liberals likely ignored Bell. There's already a list of banned websites in Canada, but it's like 30-40 of them and the kind most people would be fine with it, plus some online casinos...that's a state business here and they don't take kindly to that up here...I don't want to become like China because the US is already doing it. ffs

Those mofos have monopoly on fibre internet...although, I have options, some small ISP's now offer TV and gigabit cable, no symmetric uploading, I'd go with their 740/125 plan which is much faster on the download side (I got 300/300 FTTH) but 125 up sucks, I upload a shit-ton to my VPS so...that's a downside, but if Bell can have all ISP's modify their behaviour so that we end up like in the UK where only tiny ISP's offer uncensored internet by default, the others they gotta ask for porn to be "enabled", that gets one on a list that's for sure, especially if there's kids in the house or Australia's China-style firewall...

So, anything strange to other canucks 'round here?

Oh, I get it now, you're hosted on your own Bell connection. I wonder, is that modem a HH3000? Because here, we were on Bell Aliant Fibre before Bell Canada took it over, and we have FTTH...there's the ONT that they installed in the house, I had to destroy my "inside the wall" aquarium because they could only bring the cable from the phone pole in that one place, then that ONT is connected to the router/modem HH2000....I hear it's pretty easy with pfSense to get rid of the HH3000, but one can't use their own modem or mess around much at all with the fibre to ONT to modem HH2000 setup preferred by Bell Aliant, forgot to list em, since one of the big selling points, since we don't really know them, they were new when it came to outside maritime provinces, that they were NOT Bell Canada, well that lasted barely a year.

Good to know. But you also got rid of the toxic sludge that even our /pol/ over here was removed, since a good while. Better off to keep it this way for a while I'd say and this place will be safe. Good news then.

iphone 6 was dropped, screen decimated, and then ripped away from the rest of the phone in anger. I bought and installed a new screen today equipped with everything I need, except now the touch screen function is not working properly. It was working fine for the most part the first hour or so after I hooked the new screen up, but the touch screen function has been getting progressively worse throughout the day. The touch function is still there, but just barely. The only way I can use the phone at all is by doing a hard reset, then upon respring the touch function *sometimes* works, but only for about 10-30 seconds and then it's gone.

I'd just like to know if the phone is even salvageable. From searching google and youtube I see for most iphones the situation is more black or white; they either have touch functionality or none at all. I'm hoping it's just the screen I bought and I can just buy another... Got it on amazon for what ti's worth.

and yes I have uninstalled the screen and reinstalled it 10 times, makes no difference. I unhooked everything in the whole phone, battery etc. whatever else is in there. I basically took the whole phone apart and put it back together. Many wonderful and exotic things in exchange for helpful advice here ~

Basically if a person is affected by nearby electric equipment or where stuff is plugged in an outlet, are these waves coming from the wall socket and through the extension adapter as well. Can these waves be minimized as in the B example by plugging in a 20m long extension cord in a wall socket from another room. Will the EMF waves only come from that wall socket or will it also be in the cord? by analyzing the picture you know what i want to accomplish / figure out so how would you go about plugging something in while minimizing the radiation?

Anon,
You seem to think that wi-fi sends out radiation as a byproduct of what it does. This is a misconception. This radiation it sends out is actually what it uses to connect to and communicate with other devices. Think of the connection between a router and your computer or phone as an invisible wire. If you keep the router from sending out its radiation, you're in effect cutting the invisible wire. Your router would be useless.
I'm sorry you're having trouble with this. I hope you figure it out.

After 9 years my PS3 slim is finally acting up, it has three beeps and red lights which means it's got issues with overheating. I suspect the HDD is on its last legs because it got really slow, just look at that time requiring to copy a PS1 game to the HDD. I was like "wow that CD speed is crazy slow", so I tried playing MGS2 for PS2 (not HD Edition) when the PS3 shut itself off, just before some really scary sounds coming from what I suspect was HDD. I tried backing up my saves but it's so slow I halted it as HDD was making those dying sounds again. It could be the power unit is dusty and clogged up but I think the HDD is the culprit here, hence asking the question here instead on video games board.

So most likely the HDD is dead and I want to replace it but for the love of fuck can't decide which one. Toshiba L200, P300, WD Blue or HGST Travelstar (specifically Z7K500) all 1TB. Please tell me your experiences or recommendations if you have.

Any decently fast 7200RPM HDD with a good deal of cache.

Switched out the 500 gig stock HDD in a ps3 slim I recently got with a 250 GB WD Scorpio Black (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) from my old laptop. Less space, but much, much faster than the stock one (5400RPM and 8meg cache if I recall).

Better yet if you want to invest a bit more - drop in an SSD. It makes loading super fast, and a decent 250-500 GB SSD can be obtained pretty cheaply nowadays...

Of course they do, but not because of technicalities but because the programmers who did the work did so last decade and it wasn't updated since. Flash is beyond superfluous at this point. For better or worse (mostly the worse, but compared to stuff like Flash or Java applets, the better), HTML has become fixated as a multimedia medium rather than a text medium with light image/sound capabilities. At the same time, the actual programming part for the web was finally elevated above shit level in the last couple years, making Javascript on par with Actionscript (the lang used for flash), and because JS is still kinda shit we have now TypeScript which is Actionscript on steroids and actually good.
