I first thought this had to be some sort of mistake, then I read their official statement.
Apparently these guys have made it their goal to destroy the Open Source movement. Take a look at all the projects they have hijacked. Just imagine they replace all those (so far) legit installers with their own malware-bundled ones.
This is outright disgusting.
Edit: It looks like the modified installer has been removed. I really hope they'll release another statement addressing this major fuckup.
The licensing is actually rather confused. The LICENSE file says MIT, but the code is actually a binary blob (compiled Java class files), not open source. That's... not incorrect, but strange. MIT does not forbid decompilation/reverse engineering, so not providing source is rather pointless.
Then he's providing an API to make and get the actual triggers that the SDK uses... but triggers are really just lists of positive and negative FFT bins (I decompiled the code) to trigger on. So there's nothing stopping anyone from making their own trigger audio and using the principle behind the code without the API and without paying for usage, unless the technology is patented.
This is confusing. If the intent is to provide a demo of the technology and charge for usage, why is it released under a license that allows decompilation and allows anyone to use it for free, and furthermore, why bill it as open source software licensed under the MIT license? If the intent is actually to release the technology for free for anyone to use, why is it a binary blob which requires an API and has concepts like trial quota built into it?
Edit: incidentally, the FFT implementation is this public-domain one, and the code that uses it has at least two random variable names in Spanish (but Google has no hits for them), which makes me wonder if OP really wrote it all or had someone else help.
>For experimental purposes, we inserted a vulnerability into this utility. To do so, we first copied fqzcomp from https://sourceforge.net/projects/fqzcomp/ and inserted a vulnerability into version 4.6 of its source code; a function that processes and compresses DNA reads individually, using a fixed-size buffer to store the compressed data
...
>We ran the target program in a simplified computing environment and disabled common security features. Specifically, we disabled stack canaries and ASLR, and we marked the stack as executable.
"Yeah we can totally take over a computer while sequencing dna, given that we modify the program and the computer specifically to allow us to do so."
I'm just starting out, trying to learn, and I'm learning quite a lot from Metasploitable. It's an intentionally vulnerable Linux server, which hosts two intentionally vulnerable web apps.
You can target the server itself, I experimented a bit with metasploit, but now I'm mainly focusing on the web app vulnerabilities.
dynamic range compression? Windows has it as an option built in I think.
It was a while ago and can't check right now but I think I had some success using MPC-BE which has a similar function, so at least when watching movies it would compress the range (I had a PC hooked up to TV/Surround Sound)
I still have a couple of projects lingering on at SourceForge.
However, I just learned that you cannot easily delete them. I have therefore opened a ticket to do so.
Here's a link to open the ticket
Screenshot of my ticket. (There are two, but the other one is substantially the same, for a different project.)

Chrome has this irritating habit of flagging all exe's that Google hasn't web-crawled yet as malicious, and I just switched the download URLs from Sourceforge to self-hosted about a day ago and even though I submitted the links Google hasn't stopped flagging it yet.

What's this about breakage? I'd like to hear more after I get done dealing with another one of my non-GNOME gtk programs breaking because a GNOME dev decided nobody used that feature anyway so let's make breaking-changes in a minor version bump. But at least it's not another gtk update breaking my themes, right?
Snark and jokes aside, I really did get bitten by that stupid bug, and the roxterm dev abandoned the project over it plus some other similar issues with Gtk development. If you aren't writing a GNOME app, Gtk devs don't give a fuck; it's the GNOME ToolKit in everything but name now.
Mines-perfect is what I was playing when I was going through my Minesweeper phase.
If I remember right, I think the best options from a masochistic sense are "lucky" and "Murphy's law" together. Both of these, as one of my friends would say, move the battleships. "Lucky" moves the battleships so that if you are required to guess then it makes sure you guess safely. "Murphy's law" moves the battleships so that if you are not required to guess but you do anyway, you land on a bomb.
As a creator of a build system let me offer some reasons why creating a DSL might make sense over raw Make.
- Make syntax is awful, hard to write, hard to read and really hard to debug when things go wrong
- Make is slow and, more importantly, impossible to optimize
- Make language is Turing-complete, which makes it really, really hard to reason about, and thus things like IDE refactoring support and the like tricky to write, which is why they don't exist
- The subset of Make that all Make implementations agree with (GNU Make, BSD Make, NMake, etc) is small and thus multiplatform support is hard
- Building is not just compiling code, it is also about configuring the source (e.g. Autoconf) and so on, and writing this functionality in plain Make would just be an exercise in masochism
- Makefiles written by different people can behave completely differently because no structure is enforced (Should you run tests with make test, make tests, make check, make distcheck or something else? Do you need to run make all before you do that? Et cetera.)

The shitty Sourceforge that was injecting malware was owned by "Slashdot Media" , which was owned by DHI/DICE.
BIZX bought Slashdot Media from DHI/DICE on January 28th 2016 - http://www.sdbj.com/news/2016/jan/28/slashdot-media-acquired-bizx-undisclosed-price/
And brought in new management which got rid of the malware on February 9th 2016 - https://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-acquisition-and-future-plans/
Making such a change barely a week after taking over an organisation shows what their priorities are and should get them at least the benefit of doubt that they do wish to change things.
The library that the developer used to make it (Valkyrie) is an open source project of his written in FreePascal.
IIRC, DoomRL was made to show off his library.
> All BE is, is MPC with a skin.
Why even spread such lies like this when MPC-BE is open source and people can just check? MPC-BE has had more active development than MPC-HC for years.
/u/The-Choo-Choo-Shoe Please see here https://sourceforge.net/p/mpcbe/code/commit_browser instead of propaganda.
Guarantee you came to Bitcoin in 2015 or later, probably 2016, and so weren't around to see the enormous impact the described individuals each had on the community.
You might have noticed that Satoshi doesn't even show up on that graph, anywhere. How is that possible when he wrote the first version of Bitcoin? Answer: Until mid 2015, the Bitcoin repository was called Bitcoin QT (later rebranded to Bitcoin Core) and was originally hosted on sourceforge. That means the original big contributors don't appear on the Github graph that you have taken as gospel like the clueless noob you are.
Also consider the following contributions:
Satoshi: Singlehandedly wrote the first version of Bitcoin. Doesn't even appear on your precious contributors graph because he left before they migrated the Bitcoin repo to Github. You going to tell me he contributed nothing?
Gavin: Was the lead dev for years and years, as well as STILL being the 4th largest contributor on the GitHub graph despite more than a year of total inactivity.
Mike Hearn: Wrote BitcoinJ which was instrumental in MultiBit and thus the pioneering of lightweight clients.
Jeff Garzik: Wrote CPUminer, the original software allowing community members to join the mining network.
This is on top of the fact that these guys (excepting Satoshi, who is anonymous) were all doing huge amounts of work on the conference circuit - public speaking about Bitcoin, posting to the dev mailing list, keeping the community informed, engaged in /r/Bitcoin back when it was good etc. etc. etc.
Sit down and start taking notes instead of thinking that one year in Bitcoin makes you an infallible expert.
Shit title. It's not a virus, because it's not self-replicating. And this is very old news. This is Sourceforge's DevShare program, to which the Filezilla developers voluntarily opted-in. The developers receive a share of the revenue.
You can click a 'decline' button if you don't want the extra stuff, and you can also download a version of the installer without the extra junk bundled if you go directly to the Filezilla site.
For everyone using Chrome on Windows that is seeing a malicious download warning, see this comment I made here:
Here are the same files, with same MD5 sums, hosted on Sourceforge which won't generate the warning:
} else if (l > 2 && s[l - 2] == '/' && s[l - 1] == Star) { char t = s[l - 2];
s[l - 2] = 0; if (!checkrmall(s)) uremnode(args, node); s[l - 2] = t; }
strlen("/*") == 2, seems like a pretty big oversight. I should probably fix that and send them a PR.
The rules are pretty simple: https://sourceforge.net/p/proguard/code/ci/default/tree/src/proguard/optimize/evaluation/SimpleEnumClassChecker.java
If you have a non-default constructor or have any non-private, non-static fields or methods then it doesn't apply.
Use MobaXTerm, ~~Xming~~, Portable VcXsrv, or install Xorg via Cygwin. The first two can be installed as "portable apps" and run from a thumbdrive or your Desktop folder.
Edit Since I guess Xming is now crap, I changed my recommendation there.
PSA from the developer mailing list:
>The beta will expire on 21 October. When it expires, your contacts and messages will be lost. The expiry period is designed to limit the impact of any security issues and allow us to make incompatible changes before the 1.0 release.
So be ready to start your social graph from scratch after the beta ends.
There's no package, so you have to build it. It's not that bad, you need to build Open Motif from ports and then build CDE. I followed this guide to the letter and it works great: https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/FreeBSDBuild/
"https://sourceforge.net/p/desmume/code/5345/log/?path=/trunk/desmume/src/windows/winpcap.h
https://sourceforge.net/p/desmume/code/3602/tree/trunk/desmume/src/windows/winpcap.h
r3602 zeromus renamed one of the pcap imports to something that doesn't exist (pcap_sendpacket -> pcap_send), which wasn't mentioned at all in the commit message.
r3636 was me thinking that there were pcap versions that actually had pcap_send.
r3639 was zeromus confirming that pcap_send doesn't exist and that he was just silently trying to sabotage code."
Ok, so this is what they do now: https://sourceforge.net/mirror/
Legally I guess they are not infringing on anything. They just duplicate open source software, and bundle it with their malware installers. That's horrible, but you can probably not forbid it.
Edit: At least here you have an indicator from the ".mirror" appendix and a little info box on the top right. More severe is this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/ - Audacity was originally hosted on SourceForge, so probably there are still many many links pointing to this location. But who will see that this is now "Brought to you by: sf-editor-1"?

SourceForge nuked their malware installers so unless the Hibernate developers put malware into their own installers then there should not be any.
It should also be noted that SourceForge was bought by another company which quickly reversed course on the previous owner's misdeeds.

Seems like a corner case to me.
The reply from sourceforge is beyond idiotic...

I wallpaper'd my bathroom with these things. Nowadays, after you get so many (I think it's 6) your ISP might drop you, but you're not going to court.
Do remember that you not getting sued is at the discretion of the copyright holder, though. I cannot in good conscience encourage anyone to break the law, but I can point out that enforcement is by bots that initiate or join the torrent swarm, then note the IP addresses of other members of the swarm and forward those IPs to the ISP, who knows which user account is assigned to which IP. I can also point out that PeerGuardian blocks known IPs of copyright-enforcement bots and that VPNs will make it impossible for them to determine your IP address if you do connect to a bot by accident.
ShareX was named as ZScreen before and was released on 2007-08-24: https://sourceforge.net/p/zscreen/news/2007/08/zscreen-10-has-been-released/
But later I was started new project named ZUploader. ZUploader first version was released on 2010-03-28. It was initially just supporting uploading files but later slowly it keep getting every feature from ZScreen including screen capturing but all features was rewritten from scratch to be better coded. Mainly because when developing ZScreen my coding knowledge was not good enough. So rewriting with better knowledge would result better program.
Later we thought it should have new name because it is not just uploader anymore and also is capable of screen capturing. On 2012-06-09 ZUploader was named as ShareX and was replaced ZScreen fully.
For some reason this reddit will NOT let me post a regular text post. Anyway, here is the text.
My friend and I ran into this bug after 6 hours of straight campaigning and found a fix that allowed us to keep the save file rather than restarting. Hopefully it works for anyone else that has been unfortunate enough to run into this bug.
Before you potentially corrupt your save, copy paste it to a safe place, just in case.
1) This step will make it easy to find out exactly where the problem is. Start your game, and write down the number (42949672xx) of turns that your lord will be wounded.
2) Download SaveParser and start https://sourceforge.net/projects/saveparser/
3) Open the save file. It should be under C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer\save_games_multiplayer if you were playing with a friend. If not, it should simply be under C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Warhammer\save_games
4) Go to Tools->SaveViewer and when that opens go to Tools-> scan for values. Type in the number you wrote down under step #1 and 'scan'. When you get a result, leave it alone and go back to the original SaveParser window that you first opened.
5) Go to Tools->EditSF as dialog
6) From there, find the value that you searched for previously. (step #4's result) Keep expanding the lists until you find that absurd 4 billion number, and replace it with a 1. There will be some big numbers in there, so make sure you change the right one. It should be 2 fields above the lord's name.
7) If you were playing with a friend, send him the save file and have him copy/paste it to his saves folder (the one mentioned in #3)
8) That's all. I hope it works for you as well as it did for us.
edit: It's been a long day. I don't think I can edit the title, but it is supposed to be 4 billion, not trillion.
Quasar
Quasar is an addon which grabs moves and TV show information from IMDB and TVDB and presents it along with a search feature. Quasar connect to different torrent websites which are used to grab all of the streams back into Quasar. The biggest torrent sites in the world are supported, meaning you can pick your favourite torrent site and find a working stream from there, just like you would if you were to download a torrent.

>There's something I'm not getting here, right?
Yup!
Practically speaking, faxing works like this:
- You message a fax bot (either Easyfax or Faustbot) with the monster you want to get
- The bot looks through its network of whitelisted clans and finds the one that has the monster you want in its fax machine.
- The bot goes to that clan and "receives a fax" to get a copy of that monster.
- The bot goes to your clan and loads that monster into the machine.
- The bot messages you to let you know that its done this (and refuses any fax requests from your clan for the next minute or so to be sure your monster doesn't get overwritten before you can grab it).
- You go to your clan's fax machine and receive the fax that the bot loaded for you
So you don't need to use the portable copier yourself at all, and you don't need to pay anything. However, you should know that the fax machine is not in Standard.
You can request a fax of just about any ascension-relevant enemy in the game, as well as a bunch of other enemies, especially limited-availability ones that folks want in order to fill out their monster Manuel.
You can see FaustBot's list here and EasyFax's list here. The lists are mostly the same; the main difference is the way the bots work on the backend, such that if one encounters a problem and stops working, it's likely the other won't have the same issue and will be able to keep working.
We also would've had it years ago if Canonical actually put out some ROMs or build instructions instead of keeping all their work in-house.
Motorola did release their implementation, though, at least to some extent.
Because at the time, anyone with a ruler and a chart of the transaction rate of bitcoin could have predicted that 1MB blocks would not be big enough for 2017. That was with the assumption of course that bitcoin adoption would increase, as we all hoped it would. Well guess what, adoption did increase and 1MB blocks have become too small. We could easily have done something about that 2.5 years ago by eliminating the 1MB block size limit, a limit implemented by Satoshi to protect against a spam attack way back in 2010 when the average block was about 10 kilobyte in size. 2.5 years now people have been calling for this limit to be removed, the last 2 of which theymos (supermoderator of this subreddit) declared any and all discussion about this verboten. For 2.5 years, the people in control of the main bitcoin repository have refused to increase the bitcoin transaction capacity limit the way satoshi himself thought it should be, opting instead to delay while condoning the censorship theymos did on their behalf. Eventually, the delay became "wait until SegWit is done", and when SegWit finally was done around november 2016, they had lost so much community goodwill due to their behavior in this debate that they couldn't even get it activated anymore.
I wouldn't trust any company to "manage" my books. Make MP3 backup copies and screw audible and their DRM.
- Download the Enhanced version of the audio.
- Download AAX to MP3 - Audible AAX to MP3 Converter
- Run the app. It's in German but it's stupid simple: Durchensuchen means OPEN
- Open the file (\Audible\Downloads) then just use "Umwandeln" to convert it to mp3. It puts the mp3 in the same folder.
- Done.
Thats the sound from his CRT TV.
Pro tip for Windows users: get Equalizer APO, install it, run the editor/configuration, drop down the slider for the 16khz range.
My layman's understanding is that what you're hearing is the result of the cathode ray tube moving the electron beam across the screen to display the image. The speed at which it does this is the scan frequency, which is something like 15,700 times per second(hz). Not everyone can hear the sound, it's pretty close to the top end of human's audible range.
You can listen to different frequencies here if you're curious. Here's a direct link to the 16744hz audio. I just noticed that the description for that sound even says Approximately the tone that a typical CRT television emits while running.
Quick steps:
Get a linux ISO; here's a link to the Ubuntu ISO, which is a popular linux: ubuntu
Get a Windows program that can burn the ISO to a usb stick. This is the one I use, it's really simple to use: UsbWriter
Get a USB drive that is at least 2GB and has nothing you care about on it (it's going to get wiped) and plug it in.
Burn the USB drive with the ISO using the UsbWriter
Restart the computer with the USB drive plugged in
the installer will guide you from there
The Ubuntu forums are a friendly place to ask for help, so don't be shy
edit: forgot to also plug /r/linux4noobs . Great place to ask if you've got questions

Mods and third party extenders.
You can still find and use a lot of the mods for morrowind to change whatever items you want to look better. Animations are admitedly janky but they're honestly not that distracting to me. The world in morrowind is so complex and interesting that the graphics barely bother me. Then again I also play dwarf fortress. The fact of the matter is that while playing it again for the millionth time I stumbled on a breadcrumb in the world I had never found before on happenstance and after all these years the game is still interesting. I have a lot of hours into skyrim too but for all its' graphics and voice acting it can't match morrowind's content.
Edit: The jump spell is awesome put it back in the game pls.
I hardly use the webgui myself since I use Transmission Remote GUI. The main reason is that I hate how massive in size each entry is. Basically it's love the client hate the interface personally and just personally speaking yours doesn't solve it either for me not that the design isn't nice though.
Before buying another headphone try to play with an equalizer and boost low frequency.
> I want my eardrums to rattle
You might want that now, but it's not a really good idea... Be careful your ears are very fragile. You really don't want tinitus or hyperacusis, believe me.
You can get the most recent release, which is a year old, from Sourceforge. It works very well. Can't really say there's anything wrong with it to warrant a new version.

Equalizer APO
https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/
Then down this UI extension for it
https://sourceforge.net/projects/peace-equalizer-apo-extension/
I use this combo myself and it's perfect way to balance out various cans weak or strong points. I generally keep my EQ balanced with minor bass and high tweaks. I mostly use this to prevent clipping (there is a check mark for that on peace UI)
Because one day you'll convert this save to EU3 and the extra cash will be handy there?
Not that I have ulterior motives in suggesting this idea, at all. :-D
Right at the bottom of the download page it says all other versions available on sourceforge. Click the link. Click filebot.
That brings you here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot/files/filebot/
Download whichever version you want. They're still being updated.
To add to this, certain ROM extensions don't work (I'm looking at you .ecm). To convert them into usable formats use unecm.exe
Once you download unecm.exe, you have to drag the .ecm file ONTO the unecm.exe executable. This will trigger a command line prompt which will automatically convert the .ecm file into a more usable .bin file.
Part 2
If your rom file didn't come with a .cue file, you have two options; write your own .cue or use a .cue file generator.
Option 1 Open notepad and type the following:
FILE "******" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
(replace **** with the exact filename of the .bin file you're creating the .cue file for)
Save the notepad document as a .cue file using the exact same filename (minus the .bin) of the bin file you're looking to create a .cue for.
Option 2 Download cuegen from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cuegen/
Zstd is a compression method, not a container format, I believe.
So you could use the 7z format, and have it use zstd compression. There's a version of 7zip which has this (https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd), but mainline 7zip doesn't want to add it (https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/a7e4f3f3/)
This has been posted on various subreddits like /r/linux and /r/technology already, thought it belonged here too.

>P.S. I see a lot of FUD about ElectronCash but I have yet to see any evidence the developers are hiding malicious code in the binaries and even if they are you can sign tx's offline
I'd be willing to pay a bounty for an independent audit along with a youtube video that proves there is no malicious code in the binaries. Since it is built with pyinstaller, it should be able to be decompiled with tools like this:
Why not use a free and open source program that does the same thing instead?
Idk what you've got, but I have a Corsair headset that has a volume issue where the low volumes (10-20%) are almost too loud, and anything above is deafening. To fix this so that the numbers would be more reasonable to me, I downloaded a program, the name of which I'll add when I get home, that basically reduces volume by X decibels. I have it set to -16 db, and now I can keep my volume in normal ranges (40-80%, varies). Maybe irrelevant to you, but I post this on the off chance it helps.
EDIT: I'm home, and the program I use is called Equalizer APO and it looks like it can do a lot, but for this it is as simple as running "Configurator.exe" to select your audio device, and then either editing "Config.txt" in the "config" folder or running "Editor.exe" to do the same (plus maybe more). Hope this helps, everyone!
You might want to consider putting a very small sleep in that while loop. As it is, you're busy waiting which is using a bunch of resources on a resource constrained system. Even something like time.sleep(0.01) would do a lot to reduce resource consumption.
Alternatively, you could write a callback function and dispense with the while loop entirely. Here's a really nice post detailing how to do that.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/runassystem/
Run as system instead. Do this ONLY WHEN NEEDED and ONLY ON APPLICATIONS YOU 100% TRUST!!!. This runs it as if it were a driver or the OS itself. If you run Windows Explorer as system, it's entirely possible to delete the Windows folder.
this sounds kinda sorrow to amd. there are already freeware solutions for RAMdisk software available that have no limitations. https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/
19$ for a RamDisk tool. please tell me this is a fake. This cant be a serious offer from AMD.
I'd compare it little bit to Mass Effect, actually.
The first game was just a turn based strategy game with a good backstory and real-time combat. You'd take turns moving different types of ships around a star map, taking control of new territories, building colonies and mines and such, and then if you encountered enemy forces you'd fight.
What's actually important is the 2nd game, which was way bigger, and is very much beloved. The creators rather nicely released the source code online in 2002, and a fanmade HD remake is freely available. I highly recommend it, it's great.
This one has a much bigger storyline with RPG elements, more types of ships, a huge sandboxy starmap to explore, and a lot of interacting with alien races.
You get a ship you can customize, explore tons of planets by driving around the surface looking for goodies, can gain allies and enemies of the various races by saying and doing the right things, build a custom armada of the ships whose designs you have acquired, unlock new tech, etc.
Pretty advanced for a game from 1992, and while it may be a little primitive today, I still find it fun. I especially approve of the story, which is surprisingly intricate, and can go from epic space opera, to comedy, to surprisingly creepy depending on what aliens you are talking to. There's a lot of backstory to discover, and some of it is just really good sci-fi.
You can use program FRAPS Bench Viewer. It automatically creats a graph and calculates 1% and 0.1% lows. It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/dR09fc3.png
Probably a hostile takeover by those upstart kids at IceWM...
But more seriously, CDE still have a Sourceforge page, with code updates a year or so ago (which for a project that old counts as recent, I guess). I'd ask there, since CDEbian doesn't appear to be maintained by anyone from Debian itself, and I doubt you'd find many users here.

You have the basics of V-Sync essentially correct. I'd note that most monitors actually run at 59.9 Hz.
Now, the problem with doing FPS analysis with Afterburner is that your sampling resolution is per-second, when a 60 FPS game would send 60 frames to the monitor, meaning you're converting up to 60 datapoints down to a single datapoint.
To see a true metric of "stuttering", you'll want to use OCAT. Use "Single Application" and select your Fallout 4 exe file, then launch the game using OCAT. When you're ready to start recording performance, hit F11 (default key, can rebind) and it'll record data for every single frame and store it in My Document \ OCAT.
I went through the basics of how to analyse the data using Google Sheets (would be similar for Excel) in another comment.
I believe that FRAPS and FRAFS can do similar per-frame analysis, but I've never personally done it that way. If you've got any further questions, shoot me a PM.
Github is certainly "trendy", but SF has this issue:

Too late! I'm already spending the evening writing a blog system along the same lines and trying to keep it under 200 lines of code! Looks like it's gonna work! :) I'm a thief! You hear that? A thief!!!

I'm fairly sure that's pihole looking for updates.
You'll find all those names as SourceForge mirror providers
They are all resolving for me. They just aren't meant to be used as the website, and redirect you to sourceforge.net
A lot of ad-blocker lists are stored and maintained there. So access to those addresses is reasonable.
The homeassistant thingy seems to have a presence on sourceforge as well
Try looking for mention of those addresses on your systems.
grep -r "dl.sourceforge.net" /etc/
I always mess up grepping, so maybe check if that command is correct; that is coming from the top of my head.

Physically destroying a hard works too.
Paperwork and documents: shred, put it in a big trash can and then fill with water and household products. Good luck piecing that back together. Or just dump all your documents into a trash can full of bleach. Have a spy lair? Drink plenty of coffee? Pour coffee on and in everything. Plenty of ways to do shit quickly.
As an alternative Rikaisama also supports saving words, and has a real-time import feature to make anki flashcards from the selected word. There's also support for EPWING dictionaries.
With Bash on Windows you can run pretty much every single command line program that Ubuntu has in its repos. For any GUI based programs you can combine it with Xming to use all of them as well.

Surprisingly, yes. There was a change of ownership and the new owner realized that there was only one way to save what little brand value was left of Sourceforge. They killed off the program where Sourceforge provided adware bundling services for projects almost immediately, then they started actively hunting down various bad behavior caused by others on their site.
They started scanning projects for adware bundled by the uploaders and showing warnings on infested ones, started reviewing the ads to keep them free from crap (surprisingly difficult, because ad exchanges love to show fake download buttons on download sites and you don't get to vet the individual ads beforehand) etc. They even got FileZilla to serve a clean version on Sourceforge (the non-sourceforge version is adware-bundled by the original author).
I'd say the new owners are genuinely trying to restore the name of SourceForge, and while it may be too late for that, they seem unlikely to inject or tolerate crapware. Read this AMA if you're interested.
Oh, FFS, just write at the end if there is a patch or not - and if there is one link to it. I see the value of a blogpost like this for vulnerability researchers, but 95% of the people reading that post scroll to the end for a solution.
I guess 7-zip fixed this with 16.02. as this was released at the same day as the above blogpost. Unfortunately the discussion here (https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/3097bf8b/) also doesn't mention if this is fixed in 16.02, and the changelog as well (http://www.7-zip.org/history.txt).
Absolutely fantastic work from a fantastic team.
When I was 13 I got on the ReactOS forum and asked if they needed help writing wireless drivers. I had just figured out how to write choose-your-own-adventure software and I figured drivers were probably a cake-walk in comparison to reading from stdin.
In spite of an embarrassing post where I tried to sound like a real-deal programmer, someone named "EmuandCo" (or was it Andrew?) spent HOURS over the summer teaching me how to go about writing windows drivers.
In a years time I knew enough to modify an existing driver's source code to support promiscuous mode (a much darker time for wireless chipsets)
I love you guys!!!!

Make a bootable Ubuntu disc on CD/USB, boot on it and use GParted to make a new /boot partition. Make it Fat32, 512 MB big, label it /boot and put a 'boot' flag on it.
Then you make a bootable Boot Repair Disk and use the automatic boot repair function to reinstall the Grub bootloader.

Found your culprit. The author even has a page on his website about scummy people who fork his project, and repackage it with bloatware/spyware. I'd be surprised if he was himself.
It almost feels like we need a new GPL, that forbids distributing malware products alongside releases to users. Not sure how you could word that legally though.

First thing you should try is to disable any kind of enhancement that could mess with your sound. That will give you the natural sound intended by the manufacturer, given that your source device is powerful enough to drive the headphone and there is no issue with dampening.
If you don't like the "stock sound" you may want go give Equalizer APO with Peace GUI a try. It is by far the most potent and elaborate system wide equalizer you can get for free.
- An official post by SourceForge confirms the takeover.
- GIMP has release a statement on their website.
burn-in for the most part is basically all mental and not something actually backed up with measurements (innerfidelity article).
highly suggest you keep listening to the zs6 and see if you can tolerate the highs and sibilance from the mids.
if you can't get around the sound signature:
- equalize the sound to your preference (Equalizer APO, PeaceUI)
- try burn-in anyways (doesn't hurt to try, placebo might do something)
- return the zs6's to the seller
You're more 4-5 years too late, the HB scene was underdeveloped and unreliable in the past xD
1) Yes. I imagine a powered device would be better for large capacity drives, but I'm sure 32gb and less is just fine.
2) Transfer games with Wii Backup Manager, avoid using the highly oudated WBFS Manager. Transfer your games with Wii Backup Manager to a FAT 32 or NTFS drive; WBFS Manager is completely outdated. Transfer your backups, in .wbfs and .iso format, to a USB stick with Wii Backup Manager.
3) The guide isn't dead. It is outdated but it still works. I can provide you a very short guide here:
Install Letterbomb with this guide. SD Card required. You can now use the Homebrew Channel, and you can indeed run HBC apps off of a USB stick.
Install cIOS with this guide.
Transfer Wii backups to your HDD with Wii Backup Manager
Play them with USB Loader GX. Make sure you know how to place Homebrew Channel apps in your SD Card.
For Gamecube games, even easier: place the backup inside a "games" subfolder inside either your SD Card or USB stick, and then load up Nintendont.
EDIT: Fixed post!
Hey there, ScreenBloom dev here.
There are a couple of things that will factor into your performance, and you can absolutely get it down to nearly 1:1 response time provided you have the right hardware/network setup.
First, as I mentioned, the hardware. ScreenBloom will run on pretty much anything but you're going to have the best results on a relatively modern quad-core system. For instance, the CPU on my 2014 MacBook pro just can't crunch the data as fast as my desktop PC, so it lags behind it no matter what settings you pick.
Secondly, network. I don't have a lot of insight into this area but I know if you've got a crappy connection/your router has some funky settings you could possibly have degraded SB performance.
Now, for the major stuff that you have direct control over:
Number of displays. I added multi-monitor support a few updates ago, and while this is a great feature - the more displays present on your system, the more data SB has to parse and thus the slower it'll be. If you want the absolute best ScreenBloom performance in a game or a movie, I'd suggest turning off the displays that aren't being used. Windows 10 makes this a very simple process, and I've even found a nice little app that makes it even easier: Monitor Profile Switcher
Finally, the number of lights being addressed is a factor. Each light you select to be addressed by ScreenBloom adds a whole bunch more commands the Hue bridge has to process, so naturally the fewer there are the faster it'll be.
Those are the main ones as far as I can tell. Perhaps others in the community have stumbled upon their own tweaks. Also, don't forget to set a small update buffer if you're experiencing large delays in between updates, perhaps your bridge is being overloaded.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Firstly, there's 3 well-known networking technologies where Modbus is used: RS232, RS485 (you'll hear the term Modbus/RTU for this) and Ethernet via TCP/IP (you'll hear the term Modbus/TCP for this) So find out what your devices use first. From there, you can buy a USB converters for all of the above if needed. If you're then looking to test polling slaves, I recommend QModMaster which supports all types of network interfaces
Download a copy of Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) and copy it onto a CD/DVD/USB-Stick. Boot your PC from it and then either follow the instructions or just type 'autonuke' if you want to erase all content from all drives.
rather than trying to work on the device from inside the infected windows install, try booting a xubuntu memory stick, a program called unetbootin will download the appropriate linux image and apply it to your memory stick
you can mount the hard drive manually and move the files you want to an external drive, being careful not to copy any of the illegal images
after that, DBAN the laptop
here is a guide on how to identify the assigned device and mount a hard drive in linux https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-mount-partition-with-ntfs-file-system-and-read-write-access most of the time linux boot sticks will not autodetect and mount the system hard drive, so refer to that guide.
however your external hard drive probably WILL autodetect, if not, you will need to repeat the procedure
It's understandable, not everyone has the time and desire to keep up with the minutia of system security and maintenance!
What you should keep in mind though is that nowadays––especially on Windows 10––there is much, much less need to use third party shenanigans to micro-manage everything like there used to be in the days of XP and pre-XP. That is to say, despite the flaws, Windows actually does a much better job in recent years managing itself, cleaning up junk, the registry, defragmenting on the fly and so on.
The "replacements" for most people should really just be: * Use Windows Defender, it actually does a very respectable job and has minimal overhead compared to almost all the major "security" suites * Supplement with free Malwarebytes for the more minor stuff that can slip through the cracks * Use Chrome or Firefox with uBlock Origin to avoid ad-injected malware * "Clean" your system with the actual Windows maintenance tools! The "Disk Cleanup" utility in your drive properties does a pretty thorough job, but few people bother to actually use it.
Most of the "registry cleanup" crap CCleaner and similar packages do is placebo at best, and detrimental to your system at worst. In the rare cases where you really, genuinely have corrupted registry entries causing problems, <em>use the actual Windows utility designed to fix it!</em>
The only things missed by all that are some odds and ends like bloated SXS install folders which can on rare occasion be missed by Disk Cleanup due to update mismatches. That sort of thing is extremely easy to manage yourself if you like, but there are some simple tools like Patchcleaner to do it for you.
Some people either can't hear it(it's at the high end of the audible range) or their listening device isn't emitting it.
Copy+paste of an older comment of mine:
Thats the sound from his CRT TV.
Pro tip for Windows users: get Equalizer APO, install it, run the editor/configuration, drop down the slider for the 16khz range.
My layman's understanding is that what you're hearing is the result of the cathode ray tube moving the electron beam across the screen to display the image. The speed at which it does this is the scan frequency, which is something like 15,700 times per second(hz). Not everyone can hear the sound, it's pretty close to the top end of human's audible range.
You can listen to different frequencies here if you're curious. Here's a direct link to the 16744hz audio. I just noticed that the description for that sound even says Approximately the tone that a typical CRT television emits while running.
I always mention Ur-Quan Masters for these questions. Originally 'Star Control 2', then the creators released the source code ~2001, and it got the 'HD' makeover a few years ago.
The story is left to unravel as you progress, but even for such a dated game (25 years!), it's easy to get sucked into 'just one more system' exploration/revelation.
Basically:

Speaking as a pastor: there's only ONE in the Audience, and HE already thinks your voice is wonderful, so you don't need to get "better". Just make music in your heart, and that's just fine by the Lord.
Speaking as a musician: making music with your voice is a matter of muscle memory. You learn what a particular note feels like, so that you can hit it consistently. And to learn THAT skill takes practice.
This might sound like an odd suggestion, but there are karaoke games that detect pitch as you sing, so that you can learn what middle C feels like. This will help you train your voice.
You might want to try a program like GNU Solfege, to help train your ear and voice: https://sourceforge.net/projects/solfege
Download Filebot. Open the program, drag your movies/Tv shows into the left panel, click Match->TheTVDb/ImDb and then click Rename. Super easy and renaming is compatible with Plex.
See the downloads in the last 10 years for octave-forge for example, which is a popular distribution. I'm not seeing any significant downward trend.
It's true that Python and R are eating into MATLAB's market share, but that doesn't mean Octave itself is losing ground. On the contrary, if MATLAB's no longer seen as important as it used to be to justify the licensing cost, Octave can be a better short-term alternative than replacing all the legacy code/curricula/textbooks that depend on it.
Take also into account the fact that Octave didn't come with a built-in GUI until 2015. I assume that in the last two years it must have attracted a good amount of new users who were seeing that as a barrier.
