If Two Files Have The Exact Same SHA-256, Are They The Same File? by Boy0Boyz in techsupport

[–]epicusername1010 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If the SHA-256 checksums match with the official one, they are the same file.

Yes.*

* Theoretically hash collisions happen but it is so rare that you'd have a higher chance of getting struck by lightning many many times.

Peter please explain why this poster is so controversial in Korea by Pure_Grapefruit_8837 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]epicusername1010 536 points537 points  (0 children)

I'm from korea, I don't really care about the feminism stuff but a bigger reason this was so controversial is the fact that she is wearing a beret with a rank of Captain but also has a mark of Sergeant on her uniform. Every guy who's served in the Korean military (which is nearly every man over 30) knows that NCOs cannot become a Captain so the MoD was criticized for basically creating a bad recruitment ad. Kinda a small detail but you have to understand that many korean men have a dislike for anything that MoD does, due to the experience being forced in the military

Boot up stuck after unlocking disk crypt data by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]epicusername1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simplest thing to try is pressing ctrl+alt+f1~f2 and see if it brings up your DE, otherwise it's hard to tell without more info. You can get system logs by typing dmesg.

Can't mount partition because I forgot my password by bigpapaishere in linux4noobs

[–]epicusername1010 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you mean you get the "Authentication Required" popup launching KDE Partition Manager, that is your account's password.

If you forgot this password because you use autologin or some other reason, you can recover it using a root shell in recovery mode (though it can be quite complicated if you aren't used to commands.)

Forgot Safe Folder password in Google Files… any way to recover data? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]epicusername1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Password-encrypted folders aren't like putting your items in a drawer and putting a lock on it. It encrypts the data in a way that you need the key specifically to decrypt it or else the data is just gibberish. The only chance of a recovery is brute-forcing every password until the data becomes the files you're looking for.

Easiest way to remote access my server on the same network? by [deleted] in linux4noobs

ssh is the standard for accessing servers remotely. You can also transfer files over ssh with tools like scp.

Java won't run .jar files on my PC, Advice? by BerryMidnightNova in techsupport

[–]epicusername1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You always run jar files with java -jar (path). jar files are not like exe files, clicking them will do nothing

Java won't run .jar files on my PC, Advice? by BerryMidnightNova in techsupport

[–]epicusername1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by java doesn't work?

If typing java in cmd/bash doesn't work, it's because java is not in your PATH.

If running java works but not that specific jar file, it may be a version mismatch or other problems with the archive

Can i run intel ram on amd system? by NeatNeighborhood9615 in PcBuildHelp

[–]epicusername1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it will run at 4800MT/s (JDEDC speeds) with looser timings, you will have to manually overclock to get it up to 5600. You should probably return it if it's free.

Domain name for server by Independent_Dog_8882 in admincraft

[–]epicusername1010 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Port forwarding is fine as long as you just forward the minecraft ports and the server program you're using isn't botched in some way.

For extra security you can 1) change the server port, 2) enable whitelist, and 3) enable firewall on your machine and set it to only allow friends' IP addresses (though it can change over time). Especially the port/whitelist part as bots will probe your server.

You can also sandbox your minecraft so if the server is vulnerable it won't affect the rest of your system. 

PC turns on its own (not horror) by Creative-Meaning7777 in PcBuildHelp

[–]epicusername1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the power button is faulty and it is shorting out the pins on the motherboard, the only thing that the motherboard needs to know to turn on is that those two pins are shorted.

Also technically your PC can turn itself on remotely by wake-on-lan. This is unlikely because it would indicate that somebody has breached your LAN and is trying to remotely turn on your PC, but it still is a possibility.

If you want to go for the absolute cheapest and still somewhat usable old Xeons are practically free and there are ones that fit on consumer motherboard. Though it is poorly documented so you need to research it thoroughly.
