Program me like one of your french codes

I haven't used it personally, but it looks like the widestring crate might help you - https://crates.io/crates/widestring. With that crate, based on the docs you would do
use widestring::{U16CString, U16CStr}; // Constructing a UTF-16 string from a Rust &str is straight forward. This creates an owned U16String let s = U16CString::from_str("Whatever regular Rust string you want to send").unwrap(); // If you need a pointer to it to use for FFI, I believe you would use let ptr: *const u16 = s.as_ptr(); // *const u16 is equivalent to the C type *wchar_t (as long as wchar_t is UTF-16) // If you're given *wchar_t (call it p), you can convert it into an &U16CStr (nb not an owned U16CString) using let s = unsafe { U16CStr::from_ptr_str(p) }; // Be careful with lifetimes, because the lifetime of the returned value will be unchecked.  

Yep, just plug it into the right side and it'll be fine.

I'm sorry but this is completely wrong. Kali is designed for penetration testing, not for security of your own system (arguably the exact opposite). Furthermore it's not intended to be installed on a normal system, it should only be used as a live environment to carry around.
 
@SupersonicSaint most normal Linux distributions will be equally secure, however you will need to do some serious configuration if you're truly intent on maximizing security. Start with Fedora and SELinux.
 
Whonix is a Linux distro just like the others, the website suggests to run it in a virtual machine though so you'd have to use another distribution as a base. I don't think you actually need all this stuff though. Using Tor correctly on a Linux system is already good enough to hide your browsing habits.

I haven't thought about velcro. That's a pretty good idea and I might do that.

If you do decide to mount directly to the PSU, make sure you're not having any part of the Exposed PCB touching the PSU. Just in case  
 
Couldnt you also just velcro it to the other side of the front panel?
 

If it was my Project, I would mount the HDD to the air flow holes ore drill new holes there. (maybe add some padding to minimise vibration)
 
Or doublesided Tape on the PSU ^^

Just a general reference for "how much wattage do I need" questions that are filling the forum. Check these and you'll have a general idea of where to start for shopping for a power supply, and questions can be diverted from "how many watts do I need" to a much more specific "what power supply should I get within my budget that will power a system that needs XXX watts"
 
Briefing on buying a quality power supply:
 
Shopping for a power supply is not all about wattage. As much as your mind or people might make it seem like so, it's not. It's about multiple factors, however the most important things are the quality of the PSU and the amps on the 12V rail. Not just watts. This is why the question of "how many watts of a PSU do I need" is becoming drowned out nowadays, because it's no longer a large variable
 
Info on PSU quality:
 
Info on PSU 12V rail amps:
 
On with the numbers!
Again, These numbers are established assuming you are using a quality power supply. The overclocks are also based on heavy overclocking, including overvolting. 
 
 
Another way you could get a rough estimate on your own, is take the TDP of the CPU + GPU(s) and add 100W for other components. This should give you a rough estimate of the maximum power draw your PC will require at stock clock speeds.
 
Use these numbers when shopping for a power supply, but if you're not sure of specifically what model to get, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking! Create a thread in this section that contains your location (country is fine), preferred store or retailer (if any), and your budget. Our community members will be happy to assist you find a good quality power supply that will be quiet, efficient, and reliable. 
 
Hope this reference guide was of help to you if you're looking to get a new PSU to upgrade or for a build. If there's anything that you feel can be added to this, or if you have any questions then let myself know. This thread is a work in progress and I'll do my best to keep working on it so leave suggestions!   Thanks for looking!

too bad barely anyone reads threads like these

I haven't had any issues with the non-free Nvidia driver. Nouveau had a couple of issues for me though.
Debian-based distributions tend to have outdated software. With Debian you can upgrade to Sid(unstable) but your computer may or may not survive the upgrade. For this reason I don't really recommend Debian for people anymore but for whatever reason I can't stop using it myself.

you're welcome for the fix
 
but that's not Manjaro's fault. it's because Linux is focused on stability and running the AMDGPU driver is less stable than Radeon, but for Windows games you need to because DXVK requires it...

Honestly if you are a beginner, rolling release distros are not ideal. You may want to stick with something like Ubuntu for a while and then if you want move to a rolling release take a look at Arch. It has a big community behind and the best documentation you can get.
 
Also you can get MATE up and running on any distribution if that's what you want.
 
BUT having said that, if you really want a ready to go rolling release distro with MATE take a look at Manjaro.

Research papers written in 2006 warned about it and Intel disregarded it. They have been known for a long time Intel didn't give a shit 

Try getting your hands on Packet Tracer and a few IOS files. IIRC it's behind a paywall. It's been a long while since I did my CCNA.
GNS3 is also an alternative.

HDDs these days last around 5 years with a good use
 
i think you got a little unlucky, WD (and Hitachi because they're now part of it) aren't bad from what I've seen, some simply lose trust in them after a failed one
 
that's why people should read professional reviews, not user reviews

If the kernel is the King of the machine, that makes systemd the Queen of Linux. The reason people don't like systemd is because it controls everything without being the kernel. Personally, I don't see a problem with it, but it can be a single point of failure at times. For example, if you told systemd to log several gigabytes of information, you'd have a real pickle on your hands because you may not have that much memory. That's right! The system daemon ignores standard memory allocation in favor of something that may try to reserve more RAM than you actually own! I believe that it may be patched now but it used to be fun to cause computers to crash by sneaking a small prank application on your friend's computer just to watch the whole thing come to a screeching halt. In short, there's nothing wrong with systemd other than its ability to become the reactor on the first Death Star.

C# is basically the code that 99.99% of all EXE files use (from my knowledge anyways, I am not really a Windows user)
 
(EDIT: I am massively wrong, I am just stupid)

In contrary to what @PeterBocan suggested, I'd suggest you get into concepts of Programming first, that'll allow you to adopt quickly, there's really not the "one language to rule them all". It's about being able use what suits your task best. If you understand the basic concepts you'll have an easier time to get into what ever you need. Sometimes you'll find yourself in a position where you either have to solve issues really complicated or just use a framework in another language, the latter is the (personally) preferred solution.
 
This is based on how I got into Programming
 
I started programming with Turbo Pascal, it's a structured non Object Orientated Programming language that really encourages you to think about your program and structure, you don't have really complicated brackets or spacings, you simply start with `begin` and `end`.

Following up I'd suggest a Strongly Typed OOP language like C#, this helps you understand typing and what issues can arise with that and once you've got the basics down in C# you'll find that you're going to have an easy time to get into most languages like Python, Java, JS or alike.
 
Maybe have a look at some Assembly or CIL(Common Intermediate Language) 
 
Critical in all of this is just to really understand the concepts and less the syntax itself, finding and learning syntax is the easiest part. Learning the concepts (encapsulation for example) is what really grinds your gear.
 
As a basic overview for what would be interesting to learn:
- HTML, JavaScript, PHP for websites and webapps (concept: MVC)
- C# (unity, webapps and alike with ASP.NET, which is c# based. concept OOP, MVC)
- Java (pretty much the same as C# except unity)
- C++ (complex system close language, concept: OOP)
- C (very close to the hardware layer, concept: structured)
- Python (very versatile and popular Scripting language, like java very cross plattform compatible since it's not compiled but interpreted)
 
If you have any questions left feel free to ask.
 
Best of luck in your journey.

What specific questions you have? I can answer something basics about the language but if you have questions regarding the usage of specific libraries, it is best to read up Oracle doc. 

Be aware of the security impact.
https://www.trustwave.com/en-us/resources/blogs/spiderlabs-blog/cve-2018-1000136-electron-nodeintegration-bypass/
 
Electron - being based on the Chromium engine - requires regular updates of your codebase. Chances are that you won't distribute them because "it works".

Since nobody has mentioned this yet, there's a site that asks you questions and recommends distributions to you: https://distrochooser.de/en.

I'd worry much more about being cache friendly if you need performance.

If someone offered you $1000 for nothing would you take it?
 
I don't see why anyone would continue to use a less efficient operating system that spies on you and tries to cram 3rd party apps on your system through the OS (look up the Candy crush application through windows explorer if you don't believe me) and push its own inferior web browsing service if there was an alternative that supported all programs windows uses.

In a heartbeat. I already have for my non-gaming and non-work PCs.
