Imageboards? (5)

1 Name: Anonymous Dexter : 2009-01-16 18:02 ID:IirWKnh0

Hey, I want to make my own imageboard. How would I go about doing this? I've looked around, but can't find a place that hosts them.

2 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-01-17 05:40 ID:Heaven

> can't find a place that hosts them.

you can't find a hosting company that supports CGI? wow. you are an idiot. please get off my internet.

It's easy. First choose an engine. For an instance: wakaba (Perl/CGI) or Kusaba (PHP/MySQL). Then choose a host that provides these services (depending on type of engine) and doesn't have a limit per file (or it's >500KB).

When you find one, please, post it here. I search for Perl/CGI with large enough limit for my personal files.

But there is one more question. Do you REALLY need your own imageboard? If it's for some special purpose - it's O'K. If you want to be like famous imageboard owner's name here, then forget about it: there are too much of these small pounds with a few user, that hope to become popular. You'd better stick to one of existing ones. Become an elitist with secure trip or something like that.ww

Wakaba Error (4)

1 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-05 23:49 ID:c/j9JoOS

The perl test script worked, but I keep getting this error when I try to install wakaba

"Software error:

Unknown error
Compilation failed in require at /home/brovanil/public_html/chan/wakaba.pl line 17.

Anyone know how to fix this?

OLD iPod to USB cables; still sold? (3)

1 Name: curious : 2009-06-26 18:52 ID:5F9MzrGC

Do they still make the old "big" iPod type connector cables with a USB connection?
I only can find my firewire type one and it doesn't connect to my new computer (a non Mac).

Do they still sell older generation cables at Best Buy, Walmart, etc?

2 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-27 11:59 ID:Ae0oam2W

Why would you need one? Afaik old and new connectors are exactly the same, only size differs. At least my 5Gen iPod works just fine with my iTouch's small cable.

Shooting down a satellite in space (57)

1 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2008-07-10 18:20 ID:EtabIP3S

I think this falls under tech support.

I hate a certain satellite TV company and I to shoot down/fuck up their satellite so they go out of business. How would it be best to make it non-operational if I can shoot it out of the sky.

I was thinking about a high powered laser to blind the receivers but are their better ideas?

48 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2008-10-08 09:34 ID:NpCVnzak

Use a multi-stage rocket w/ a shrapnel warhead.
Most likely it will disable it. The primary problem would be
having an accurate enough guidance system.

49 Name: 4c0st0s5!9ZG178OTIU : 2009-03-16 04:21 ID:4/9qnDKp

Might I recommend using a rock and slingshot? Those things can get some air. If all else fails, call cust. support and ask them for a cost effective way to take out their sat.

50 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-03-18 19:37 ID:zRYyb5vQ

the fbi is (possibly) watching you right now.

Alternatively, tell China it's spying on them.

If you're lucky, we'll all get another belt of space debris.

52 Name: 4c0st0s5 : 2009-03-28 18:48 ID:4/9qnDKp

Or tell North Korea it is our new laser equipped attack satellite.
They'll use their new nuke to blow it up, and you will have it destroyed. Everybody wins!(except for the sat company)

53 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-04-01 17:56 ID:i+7SPKHN

>>52
because a nuke won't disrupt any other of that 10000+ satellites up there.
not to mention the EMP that would be generated...

54 Name: 4c0st0s5 : 2009-04-10 18:27 ID:4/9qnDKp

I didn't see anything about keeping the rest of the satellites from being harmed.

55 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-04-12 05:48 ID:Heaven

1 MW laser, mounted on a satellite.

56 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-04-17 05:17 ID:kPbze6Ns

>>53
there is already enough emp and other shit from the sun and stuff, so they actually should be protected enough from it and possibly won't get really harmed.

57 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-23 19:22 ID:dE/O5l32

Best Usenet Provider (2)

1 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-21 07:55 ID:svzJuXpz

I want to reap the benefits of alt.bin.*. My ISP (Verizon) doesn't offer access to anything outside of the big 8. So, my question:

What is the best usenet provider? Price, retention, anonymity (not that I'm not planning on Dling CP or anything, but it would be nice if I didn't wind up with a provider that runs off to the authorities if I download movies or warez). And while I'm at it, what's the best application for browsing? Or does your provider come with its own?

In case you couldn't tell, I'm new to this shit. I throw myself at your mercy. Thanks for the help.

2 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-22 20:33 ID:MbWpdXji

astraweb has been good to me

I've had their retention go back to ~350 days

I pay for the 3 month plan but there is some $11 special if you know where to look (I forgot the link)

ATI/Sapphire X1900; differences? (2)

1 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-04 20:12 ID:bC02otHc

I've been wanting to buy a new PC for a while, mostly for gaming purposes, and I wanted to buy an ATI Radeon X1900 graphics card for it, since I heard that it was a good choice for newer games like Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed, Street Fighter IV, etc.

But unfortunately this card is much to expensive at 400+ Euros. Then I saw the Sapphire RADEON X1900 XT card at another site with prices ranging from 150-200 Euros, considerably cheaper.

So my question is, where's the difference? Are both the same? I also saw other "RADEON X1900" cards, but with slightly different names; are those different, too?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

2 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-13 17:08 ID:6cmDs1cu

Forget those and get an HD4770, it's an awesome card.

Athlon 2600XP and MSI K7N2 DELTA ILSR Wrong speed (2)

1 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-05-20 02:35 ID:giQqfsrE

So i have a processor which it's board is Green and it has the words AXDA2600DKV4D Z446506H42821 KQYHA0431GPMW and 27493 on one side of it.

I figured it was a Barton 2600 that can run at 1.9 GHZ but i'm only getting 1.15 GHZ.

Whenever i try changing the Multiplier to 166 X 15.5 it always seems to turn itself off even before it gets to windows.

I've also tried changing the FSB/Ram Ratio to 1:1

Changing the core Voltage to 1.65

Upgrade my firmware to version W6570NMS.780 (Latest one)

Ran it at lower multipliers and it still does the same thing.

Post too long. Click to view the whole post or the thread page.

2 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-07 10:13 ID:UmekGy/V

166x15.5? No wonder its shutting off. 166x11.5 is the proper FSB and multi for a barton codenamed Athlon XP 2600+

Allso, Download CPU-Z(Google it) Before you do anything more, Its likely you could have damaged it, Especially if its the wrong line of Processor.

Allso check that your heatsink is making good contact, Some socket A motherboards have a saftey to shut the PC off if the CPU reaches a predetermined tempature to prevent the chip from cooking.

[Tech question] A possible virus that falsely "reformats" your computer? [Curious] (3)

1 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-01-30 09:43 ID:xWTUetCD

Not on this computer but another. It's some weird thing that supposedly caused a program to not work like it should have, but then it got progressively worse. Not only did the program itself start messing up, but supposedly the entire computer looked like it was restarting and then it acted like it was a blank slate, with only internet explorer and the recycle bin with every other file on the desktop being completely absent. After turning off and turning on a number of times, everything supposedly went back to normal. However the case is still very suspicious to say the least. I want to say that hopefully everything is simply just having trouble due to the recent cold and possible power effects, but I'm worried that it might be far worse. Any ideas on what the hell is going on?

2 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-02-04 06:18 ID:zlHTzRcX

maybe some windows recovery function or boot on windows safe mode.

but if you are too scared or want to be on the safe side, just format and reinstall your pc.

3 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-07 10:00 ID:GWhcLNj4

Agreed. I had this problem on one of my PCs, SHortly after that most of my data became corrupted, I ended up loosing everything on that drive. Thought for me it turned out to be bad ram. as the machine(Same HDD) runs perfectly fine and stable.

H264 and how to use it on a 32 bit OS (XP acer aspire) (4)

1 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-05-30 09:46 ID:ccSTGKqN

So,
I am finally trying to make the switch over to h.24 and know its an upgraded audio video encoding schema which is a major jump up from its brother H.261 and the subsidaries (I cant recall them right)

But I guess I just do not know how the heck I am supposed to get h.24 running on my computer (tried with GOM and vlc with mixed results)

I am wondering then, do you need a 64 bit processor or if any, what kind of hardware or even software would be needed? Any help or even a rundown more on h.264 would be appreciated. I still watch my vids in .avi afterall

2 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-05-30 18:04 ID:Heaven

what is h.24? and why aren't you using mplayer?

3 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-05 01:22 ID:I1ODw6W3

VLC is actually by far one of the more horrible video players.

I recommend you just uninstall all codecs you got, then google for CCCP and install that, it's pretty much all codecs in one package to work with media player classic. Works better then VLC.

Only thing that package doesn't cover is real player crap. Real player is horrible quality and low resolution anyway, only chinese ppl use em nowadays.

4 Name: 4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r : 2009-06-05 03:30 ID:Kb3YBZfW

No, you don't need to go 64-bit to play or encode H.264. (which is only for video, not audio if you want to be pedantic)

I can even play some H.264 encoded files on an old Pentium III here (Unix, mplayer). I guess any CPU sold in the last 2 years or so should be able to handle it as long as you don't need to play extremely high resolution files. But I dunno.

Don't know what players are good on Windows nowadays but mplayer, VLC and MP Classic have worked for me in the past.
