Hey, odd question. I'm running windows seven still, and a little bit ago something weird happened to all my media files. It used to be that when I explored my files in a window set to "group by type" it would segregate all the media files into their specific categories (such as .mp3, .avi, .webm, etc.) But now in both my desktop HD and my external HDs, all the files in the same folder are just grouped together into one mass collection off all media files. It's only doing this for things that I've associated with VLC media player. All my image files are still categorized separates into .gif .png etc.

Why did this happen? Is this just my life now or is there a way to correct this? I can't figure out how to phrase this question in a way that returns useful google results

Sometimes Windows Explorer will decide that files should be organized a certain way. Too many MP3s? Now it's a media folder organized by artist because fuck you that's why. You can force it to have whatever columns you want, but you can also look that up for yourself.

Okay, so, I've always been interested in hardware. I've tore down old machines, watched a billion and one build guides, and even tried, and failed, to build a machine out of scraps from a bin. But finally, I am ready to construct my own machine out of new parts! This is not only a first build, but a budget build. I gave myself a budget of 400 dollars, and ended up blowing that budget by 200. Hopefully not in vain. All the parts have been ordered, and the last one shipped today, so come Friday, I will have all the parts and all weekend to build, though there *are* a few things I've been wondering about.



Let's start with this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/diogenesofindy/saved/BYxvVn



This is everything I have ordered so far. I know I'm missing a GPU, but damn it, I just can't afford it. And I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but the prices are simply ridiculous, flat outrageous.



Out of curiosity, I threw that build up on another tech forum, and they said it was a great budget build, but if they were to do anything, they'd get an I3 8100, and the mobo to fit it. Making it this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/diogenesofindy/saved/v3wQVn



Now, if I were to return the mobo and cpu, I'd save a good 20 bucks, and the benchmark for the 8100 is 36 points better, according to http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-8100-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6300/3942vs3536



At this point I should say, I am currently using an old as hell dell inspiron 530S. I haven't ever cracked open the case, but ik it's packing an Intel pentium E2200 (the benchmark comparison is pitiful http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-Dual-E2200-vs-Intel-Core-i3-6300/m1712vs3536 )

It's also got <4 gigs of, what I assume, DDR2 ram, though, like I said, I haven't opened it since I got it second hand. I'm running Linux Mint's Sarah on it atm. The fossil can't even run undertale or minecraft even in their lowest settings, and the fan sounds like a helicopter taking off. Needless to say, I really don't want to use it for much longer. I'm honestly afraid it'll catch fire.



Basically, what I want to know is, is the performance boost between the two CPUs great enough for me to return the 6300 and mobo, wait for the refund, and then wait for the new parts? Or will is it so minor, I won't really notice it while I play MC and surf the interwebz? Whatcha think guise?

I remember the days of collecting all the old junk computers and fixing them up. I had a room full of computers. All almost useless. Sure I spread my data amongst them. Some were used for storing movies and what not. Some for old games. Real old games. But other than that I could only do basic stuff. But it is an important learning phase and the best way to learn to handle the parts and trouble shoot before spending lots of money. Lol there was one computer that would freeze up, and I would kick it and it would start to work again. Now I have several PCs and a visualization host.

What sort of small hacks have you thrown together to solve small problems?

> have a script that kills all my torrents when the VPN goes down. It just watches tun0 and then runs a killall on a couple programs when that dies.
> made some small modifications to screenkeys that says what some hotkeys do for recording some videos. So now it says "Ctrl-Z (Undo)" instead of just "Ctrl-Z".

I think we all throw together artless solutions like this, and I was just wondering what sorts of things other people get up to.

Does the client let you pick which adapter to use? Tixati does and you can pick the VPN client. If it disconnects your torrents all stop.

Building my own hyper-visor visualization host from scratch using Arch Linux and KVM. Currently have Windows 10 installed on an Msata card that is a pcie sata card being passed through to the container along with a 1080 ti gpu and a usb 3.0 card. I will make my host os clean and base it like qubes os and make remove it's network capability. I will have an openwrt server with the NIC passed through to it and use it to distribute internet amongst my VMs and also make my host update over one of those servers as-well since it doesn't have LAN. I will have multiple template VMs for different linux distros and then different snapshots for different purposes all using libvirt sandbox to only share the x session for the requested application instead of the entire Desktop Environment. All this and it will be a multi user host instead of a single user like qubes. A super computer for the family. Managing all vpns, cell phones, back ups and and anything else your family needs. Gaming, surveillance, weather, homework etc. I want virtual android and IOS nodes that your phone will interact with over 4G if your signal is adequate. So not quite a small every day hack, but a bunch of medium sized projects crammed into my life's dream. A super computer in every home.

That's super weird. I wonder if somethings borkt in the importer. This sort of thing used to happen to me before the linux version of the editor had a proper blender import.

I assume you tried importing an .fbx? If that doesn't work, my best advice is to reinstall unity... maybe something's just wrecked in your install.

What version of windows? Like does it have software that originally came with the computer.

Do a new clean install with an untouched windows. I have found Dell,
etc, help programs, maintaince programs, driver updaters, from the
manufacturer makes windows fail. As well, basic manufacturer
programs screw things up. If yes, find a clean copy of win7 pro
and install that. Laptop, get specific drivers from MS optional
updates. They should be the first optional updates, monitor etc.

The most sane distro is NixOS or GuixSD if you want absolute minimalism in terms of there's just one text file you have to edit, and it contains your entire system configuration. To understand it go on Google Scholar and look up NixOS or Guix papers esp the orig functional package management paper.

You can also use competing schedulers for the linux kernel if interested
http://www.users.on.net/~ckolivas/kernel/

And if you want really experimental minimalism then try the following
>Debian/Hurd
>Install Guix package manager
>Use NetBSD rumpkernels

This is about as experimental as you can currently get with a working amateur system to do crazy shit you never thought was possible.

There are no 13 inch MBPs or Macbooks with Core Duos. Whatever you bought, you got taken. 350+50 is 33% more than you said and 100% more than I paid for my gently used T430.

>There is actually a reason why used macbooks are pretty good: Often they aren't somebodies main machine and hence don't see heavy use.
Except that it isn't abuse that renders Macs unusable. It's design flaws, as comprehensively covered by noted scholar and gentleman Louis Rossman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUaJ8pDlxi8

Search "proxy lists: samair.ru that should bring up lists of sites. Try to search port 443, ssl, anonymous or elite proxies. SSL if the site uses ssl. Do "proxy test" to see if your IP is forwarded. If you get lucky with port:443 you can find proxies that are like encrypted, https, not just a request for a ssl site, but a proxy that is encrypted between you and the proxy you found. Socks proxies are good. If you pick proxies from like the middle east, if you find good ones they would last longer because nobody really wants to touch them. Transparent proxies may forward you IP on default port but port :443 may have client to host encryption that is encrypted but does not forward your Ip address. Forget what type of proxies did this by default atm. Using online proxy checkers, some, likely most harvest other peoples efforts finding a working proxy and
sell them or post them to promote their 'proxy list services.' Find a decent proxy switcher program to check proxies on your own. Ultimately find security type sites to see if the proxy
you have is SSL aware if you are visiting https sites, anf that it does not forward you real IP address. I crammed everything together but it's pretty basic. SSL proxies generally, just
request HTTPS sites route them to you without forwarding your IP address to the remote site, anonymous proxies may request SSL sites, I forget, but will not forward your IP. But may keep logs. Transparent proxies likely will forward you IP, know your own IP before you venture.

Eh, just stuff from the past. There are google proxies all over the place, why? I don't know.

Hope this kinda makes sense to anybody interested. It's late here so I just threw this together.

OpennDns, DnsCrypt. Proven better than ISPs servers. Faster browsing. Cannot log
sites you visit. Well difficult with opendns, basically impossible with dnscrypt.

Who needs government, that is what this is really all about, having ISPs by default record sites one visits by their IP address. Make their control less
capable by using encryption. Dns, Vpn, etc,

Too many drives to fit? Extra drives chilling out the back of the case seated on books

Too many fans? Added fan controller and gaffa taped fans in place (case has space of only one tiny fan...) and left the case wall off
