Best open source proxy server?

Looking to implement some sort of tracking software for a local non-profit. Trying to make sure all employees are doing what they're supposed to, not doing what they're not supposed to, etc. (We're trying not to be "big brother", but we're pretty sure there is a problem and need to either rule...

Can I delete these hidden partitions and resize the boot partition?

Thank you, Insert_Nickname. I could start another thread if necessary, but do you (or anyone else) know of a way to *extract* the current Windows registration key? Everything I've Googled so far says it's either not possible or maybe the guy who installed Win 10 on this computer used some sort...

Can I delete these hidden partitions and resize the boot partition?

A buddy of mine who works in IT asked his co-workers. One of them said that partitions 5-8 could "probably" be safely deleted and re-combined, but advised leaving 1-4 intact. I left the big partition go. I used GParted to delete 6-8. But it wouldn't let me "expand" partition #5 to include the...

Can I delete these hidden partitions and resize the boot partition?

I am using GParted. It is an older laptop (Lenovo Z580) that a friend wiped and installed Windows 10 on for me. As you can probably tell by the screenshot, the only drives that show up in Windows Explorer are the 417 GB "Boot" drive and a 25GB partition (also marked as "primary"). I know it's...

Question USB-C flash drive won't fit in my smart phone when it has the case on

Just bought a cool flash drive that has dual USB 3.1 and USB-C jacks. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XC1WGQR/ BUT... when I have the case on my Galaxy Note 9, the jack won't fit into the slot. Do they sell "USB-C extenders"? Like the short headphone dongles that comes with some phone cases...

Question Recommendations for low-profile graphics card for Quake Champions?

Thanks, Stuka87. If you have any other suggestions, they would be welcomed as well, but in the meantime, I'll start looking on eBay, etc. for a 1050Ti.

Question Recommendations for low-profile graphics card for Quake Champions?

Getting a good deal on an HP Elitedesk 800 Link and it looks like it's going to come with an on-board Intel HD 530, which is the minimum required for Quake Champions. The card would have to be low-profile. Minimum Graphics: AMD R7 240 GB / Nvidia GT 730 2GB / Intel HD 530 Recommended Graphics...

Lock picking?

My son is not interested in pursuing a life of crime, but thought it would be interesting to learn how to pick locks. Anyone have any advice other than getting professionally-trained by a licensed locksmith?

Where to ask questions about Google API & embedding? Here?

When I tried to find a Google Help forum, the only reference I could find from Google itself was a statement that basically said "go to StackExchange and use their support forum." Is that true? That's the only place to get help? Can I ask here? (I don't see why not). We already have a Google...

Linksys WRT54g and "OpenMesh" network?

Linksys WRT54g and "OpenMesh" network?

I have no idea if "Openmesh" is a good product or not. My buddy works for a non-profit and they use that for their wifi. He is getting a weak signal, so I gave him an old Linksys WRT54g, thinking he could flash it with dd-wrt, tomato, etc. and have a repeater. He said he doesn't think that...

GPS solutions for Europe?

How do you "force" Google maps to download to the device? It did it for the area in which I live, but it did it all by itself, and I don't know when it did it...

GPS solutions for Europe?

We have an old TomTom XXL w/ USA maps. It looks like there are at least 5 different map packages for Europe that cost at least $60-$75 each. We *could* just use our smart phones and Google maps, etc., but we're not sure how much it will cost to buy SIM cards over there or how difficult it would...

Selling a domain name... need to find out what it's worth

I have a domain name and a standing offer from an established company. (I'd rather not post the website name here but will gladly send it via PM) There are a lot of websites that give you estimates on the value, but they're all over the board... anywhere from $10 to $4,000. Are there web...

Simple, robust, yet free WYSIWYG Web site editor?

I have two non-profit websites that I've "inherited". One used an archaic piece of software called "Kompozer" and the other was just recently put together using Weebly, then exported to the web server. I'd like to find a program that can handle single pages but also be able to handle navigation...
