>>89673 was full. Ask your simple questions in this thread.

Hello Kashire how are you doing lately

>>92095 Pretty good, just insanely busy (work1; work 2; work3; life; etc). Thank you for asking, I hope you are well.

>>92058 Alright. I'll do that, then. 'Tarted question here, and probably obvious, but I'm on Arch, and I have my /home and root folder partitioned separately. Can I keep /home or just start from scratch? If not, what can I take from my /home folder. >>92059 >I wonder if you're simply a young chap so you don't understand the concept of them being too busy to handle little busters being little busters all over interwebz-9000 every time any of them downloads some 1945 schematic, though. Wat. I wouldn't describe myself as "young" anymore, but I am not old, for certain. >Been there when I was a kid too. Drinking mugs of coffee tends to stimulate my sense including the amygdala which does this to me too. Had to cut down on listening to action music due to that. I don't drink coffee. It gives me the soykafs. I don't require substances to function in life. >>92060 Already deleted it. Not re-downloading it. Guides? For?

>>92098 >Can I keep /home or just start from scratch? If not, what can I take from my /home folder. you can keep your home folder as is. idk what youre doing (reinstalling arch or installing another distro) but when partitioning just set your /home partition as the /home mountpoint and dont format it (duh) and youll be good (make sure you/the installer doesnt format it haha that would suck T-T) itll just work, my old /home went through 3 distros and 2 laptops

if you take a file and hexdump that file can I recreate that original file by echo said hex data to new file? How can i recreate a file from hex data?

>>92101 used xxd(1) https://linux.die.net/man/1/xxd

>>92096 woah kashire? nice to see you're still around and alive. i hope you eventually get some rest or something >>92098 when i reinstalled arch i just copied everything from /home to another drive to be sure and then copied it back. but there's nothing important for the system iirc it's just user files.

y do autists have special mice that break in 100th the time of a normal walmart mouse (feet, mousepad, buttons), have broken flickering leds all over them with have broken colors (always just bright blue light), and sensitivity problems + weird things that only a moron would come up with like like line snapping tl;dr why are autists like a skateboarder who has no legs

Is there any way to watch/download youtube videos using tor? invidios and yt-dlp are not working for me currently, no matter how many circuits I try

>>92135 Still looking for a solution. I have just been trying yt-dlp over and over again and it does eventually work but takes like 30 tries, much too slow to be practical tdl () { x=0; until torsocks -i yt-dlp "$@"; do ((++x>=10)) && break; done }

>>92094 what DNS server do you guys use / recommend? I was using Quad9, but it's really unreliable, pages dont load , open or are slow. I'd like to use DNS over TLS. ty

Lain wants to find a simple desktop program to quickly edit screen recordings into the Webm format, along with easy cropping. Years ago it was "Webm for Retards" but that seems dead. Now there's HandBrake for easy encoding, but the cropping there is really cumbersome. Do you have any recommendations?

I never thought it would actually happen for some reason, but has anyone else started to suspect genuine LLM-made posts/replies on 4chan? Here is an example where I believe I may have found some: https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/108944398/ The thread OP was created by me. Admittedly it is not very high-quality, and getting replies with things like "fuarrrk off retard" has always been a part of how imageboards work. But what concerns me here is that I don't believe a human (or even a schizo human) could have written several of the replies to that thread. The anger is unprompted, and there are multiple posts seemingly made by the same entity. From what I understand, most real people who make replies like that typically just sage & never come back. It struck me as very unusual for it keep going AND start "fights" with other posters in the thread. This has happened before on /g/, and a few months ago it was far more obvious... as 0-reply threads would get a detailed response (chock-full of em dashes, far more than a person would use) within a few minutes. It lasted for a few days and then seemingly ended. I don't have many examples on hand, but here are some that I remember: https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/107265916/#107266028 https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/107264690/#107265102 https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/107264997/#107265070 Sorry if this is stupid, I don't know where else I'd post this. I haven't use Lainchan in years.

>>92222 Hey, it's nothing new, unfortunately. It was successfully achieved as far as three years ago (search YT: "GPT-4chan: This is the worst AI ever" by Yannic Kilcher). Anyone interested could pull way more sophisticated setup in modern day with much more involved LLMs from paid subscriptions.

>>92222 People have been spamming LLM crap on altchans for years now. It very quickly became a tool to sabotage discussion on small communities.

How long does it take to get good enough at Linux to run a botnet and be unstoppable/untraceable and instantly hack through any physical / remote security devices?

>>92222 happens all the time even here. the retards who just copy paste from chatgpt.com are piss easy to tell, but presumably more sophisticated bots exist that simply blend in

>>92249 You can ask it to write in whatever style, to avoid em dashes, etc. You can go much deeper than that but most users are too lazy even for basics.

>>92222 Know about "Mining The Chans"? https://crestresearch.ac.uk/resources/mining-the-chans/ Recommendation #4: Innovative tactics "Given the limitations of traditional tools, more out-of-the-box tactics should be considered. One such tactic would aim at gradually making these boards less interesting for their users. One way to achieve this would be to regularly post content that looks genuine (using the right language, imagery, etc.) yet is meaningless – this would dilute the message of these boards and make their threads uninteresting, thereby reducing their attractiveness and sense of community. Recent developments in artificial intelligence enabling researchers to automatically generate credible extremist sentences make such a tactic cheap and easy to implement."

>>92253 They would be to large extent meaningless and uninteresting anyway because most people don't care about every theme and topic any imageboard covers. And the same is true even for a single board. The fact that we're interested in different topics doesn't necessarily mean I'm soykaftiying your precious lain on purpose. But there are hoards of schizos everywhere that would just spam any thread that triggered them for silly reasons like it's existential war.

>>92240 you just need to look like this https://stackoverflow.com/users/7580275/realhanno

>>92222 Haven't used 4chan in a while but I do remember these kinds of AIslop posts >This has happened before on /g/, and a few months ago it was far more obvious... as 0-reply threads would get a detailed response (chock-full of em dashes, far more than a person would use) within a few minutes. It lasted for a few days and then seemingly ended. I don't have many examples on hand, but here are some that I remember: Sharty kids with project FAE maybe. >>92253 I do think this played a part, but IMO the jannies not doing quality control with poopdickschizo types and 4chan's cultural shift into being for brewing soykaf only were more influential for the site's current state; didn't help that jannies would repeatedly kill off smaller hobby boards. Also these days you don't need dedicated orgs to soykaf up a site like 4chan as other lainanons have said.

>>92263 > Also these days you don't need dedicated orgs to soykaf up a site like 4chan as other lainanons have said i think you do need orgs for that end. people would warn to not soykaf up 4chan because its already soykaf. they say "you're pissing into an ocean of piss". what these orgs are doing isn't candid pissing, but rather they're spraying sterile fetish play piss instead, watering down the rancid piss pool and posing as a fellow pisser. i dont think it's easy to do that in a way that gets the chans bored or less extremist instead of irritated or inflamed. it'd be a lot easier, and more effective, with the logistics, software and LLM toolz that make up an organization engaged in this kind of faux piss operation

Hey lainons. So, I found these motherboards lying on the street, and they looked pretty good, so I picked them up. I connected both to the power and they seem to work; an LED turns on. The only thing is that I don't have a CPU fan, just the PSU. I don't know much about hardware, so sorry for my ignorance. What do you think? Do you think I could get them to work? (I don't care if they're slow). Is it viable? If it's not, what can I do? I was thinking that if I can't do anything to make them work, I could recycle their parts for personal projects, like circuits.

>> 92303 Visuals isn't enough to determine if it's functional. You'll need to get a heatsink and see if it posts (does it get you to BIOS). You might be able to try it without a heatsink but it's most likely going to turn itself off.

>>92303 Try to find the model name for these boards! an LED alone doesn't mean that it may fully work per say. It might be lighting up to represent an error code, like with a blinking pattern that is covered in the manual. cool that it can still receive power! if you find a suitable cpu and ram for it, and it happens to fully work, you'll have a pc or two to toy with :) >>92306 >You might be able to try it without a heatsink but it's most likely going to turn itself off. i mean. you CAN run a pc without a heatsink for a good while before it shuts down. usually for troubleshooting. just that you won't be able to do heavy loads without a heatsink.

>>92306 >>92310 Ok, so a heatsink is very important. Thanks! I've been looking for them, and I've found some that are more or less cheap. Recommendations about which one is the correct one? I was thinking that a generic one is fine. >>92306 >an LED alone doesn't mean that it may fully work per say. It might be lighting up to represent an error code, like with a blinking pattern that is covered in the manual. I see. In this case, the LED is not blinking or anything, just a nice solid green.

>> 92320 You will need to make sure that it's for the cpu socket. Here's the manual for 1 of them. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/548736/Asus-H61m-C.html?page=19#manual Which is a LGA1155 socket. Not sure on the other one. If the heat sink doesn't have thermal paste preapplied then make sure you get some thermal paste as well. Clean the CPU surface with isopropyl alcohol before you apply it. The board might not boot successfully if it expects certain RAM slots to be filled. There's typically a message that says something about the RAM not being in the right slot, sometimes the board will have an arrow pointing at the slots that need to be filled first. Check the manual for that type of information.

>Which is a LGA1155 socket. Not sure on the other one. The three types are BGA (Ball Grid Array which is soldered on) , Land Grid Array, and Pin Grid Array. If its not LGA it is usually PGA which is found in older Intel IMO then AMD but both had them. The ASUS makes sense to be LGA. >The board might not boot successfully if it expects certain RAM slots to be filled. There's typically a message that says something about the RAM not being in the right slot, sometimes the board will have an arrow pointing at the slots that need to be filled first. Check the manual for that type of information. Not computer will POST without RAM ever meaning no display and you will hear beeps or lights blinking.

At completely random times, for no apparent reason, my laptop suddenly becomes *EXTREMELY* slow (imagine something running at 5 seconds-per-frame), and simultaneously the fans start running *EXTREMELY* loud. When this happens I have no other choice than to forcefully shut down the laptop by holding the power button. Only one time it thankfully returned normal by itself after about 1 minute, so I opened ksystemlog to find the problem, but I don't know what to make of it, I'm not even sure if I captured the correct time span. What can I do about it, and should I be worried?

>>92334 systemd seems to be starting the oom-killer before you press the power button, maybe your laptop does not have enough ram? i had a similar problem where the computer would hang when i was running a compile job and i would have to shut it down, that's when i realised that i had not made a swap partition, maybe that's what you are facing?

It looks like there is a messed up upgrade script. Try executing "apt list --upgradable", and running "apt upgrade" (as root) manually to see where the issue could come from.

>>92335 The issue is deeper than that. apt shouldn't need 12GB of RAM

>>92335 SYSTEMD ATTACKS AGAIN!

>>92336 try executing "apt-get remove --force-yes systemd"

Does anybody have a good recommendation for a force file deleting program? Something that can just wipe data and mark it as empty regardless of things like permissions or self-locking features?

>>92383 a microwave should do the trick

/dev/mmcblk2 (14190 MiB, 1024B blocks) somehow always has a different hash. Not mounted. Smaller dumps are fine, like the first 1 GiB. Is it a big deal? Is my dump safe to use? Wasted 1.5*8 hours dumping and hashing. Will try some dd options.

>>92390 Found a pattern. I guess it's sectors, not blocks, whatever. Sector 0: complete match until... 64 KiB area at sector 2097168 (2G+16K in): noise in dump, zeros on target. Following 64 KiB: complete match - noise in both. Following 64 KiB: noise in dump, zeros on target. And so on a few times that I've confirmed so far. The dump is more continuous, it may be more correct. Otherwise where did the data come from?

>>92383 >>92387 is joking but destroying a drive will do the trick. or using a magnet if you're using hdds. in software though, if you're on linux (which you should be wink wink nudge nudge), I think you can just do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX sdX would be whatever file is associated to the drive you want to zero out no idea for windows or mac.

whycome ^Z in vim doesn't background in insert mode?

>>92413 i ran pkill --signal SIGTSTP vim, which is what ^Z usually does, and it didn't type ^Z so likely it just configures terminal to get raw input in insert mode. go play around with ncurses. >https://tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/init.html >raw() and cbreak() >The difference between these two functions is in the way control characters like suspend (CTRL-Z), interrupt and quit (CTRL-C) are passed to the program. In the raw() mode these characters are directly passed to the program without generating a signal. 5 minutes of googling, jeez

>>92396 Sdelete is the windows program for overwrites.

did google remove the RSS from youtube yesterday? Error retrieving https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCuvSqzfO_LV_QzHdmEj84SQ: 404 Not Found

>>92536 Haven't been able to use pootube's RSS feed since a long time. Alternatively you can use inv.nadeko.net which has a RSS feed feature.

>>92539 >>92536 I think youtube rss goes down sometimes, give it a day or two and it should be back.

>>92539 i'll look into it. >>92540 oh i never noticed. thanks for the info

>>92536 I successfully pulled from several youtube RSS feeds today so they work for me. One thing I will say is that when I add a new channel's RSS feed to the list it sometimes takes several days before it works and stops giving errors. It's very confusing because other times it will work immediately.

How should I organize folders for my projects? How do I separare platform-specific folders (such as Shotcut projects) from drafts and programming projects? Also, how do I manage templates?

>>92690 depends on the software involved for example, i keep my Blender .blend file and all its assets in the same folder the exported .glb goes in my larger Godot project. sometimes it's better to keep drafts in another folder entirely from the actual project it's a difficult question to answer for you. if you're working with a team and your folders are in a shared server, work with them to decide how best to make everything accessible to everyone who needs accessing. if you're working alone, organize your folders in whatever way minimizes YOUR key strokes/mouse clicks and cognitive fatigue.

whycome my background jobs all just died? $ bc <<<obase=16\;ibase=16\;$((11111111a+ffffffffff)) bash: 11111111a: value too great for base (error token is "11111111a") [1] Hangup ./important_task_1 [2]- Hangup ./important_task_2 -f 33 --skip=40 [3]+ Hangup ./important_task_3 -b /etc/important -zkidvv $ jobs $

when is it a security vulnerability (aside from dos) if you can't handle network traffic fast enough

i just found out that it only happens with huponexit shopt -s huponexit for f in `seq 1 10`; do sleep 99999& done cat<<<$((11111111a))

>>92690 >How should I organize folders for my projects? kinda by vibes. whatever you feel you understand. here, let's take shotcut for example. personally, i have a folder for general assets, drafts, and finished projects. in the drafts folder, drafts are separated by their own folder. it is also where i would store the video/audio files specific to that project. finished projects don't really need any seperation for me. It is where i just dump my exported bideos, but if you want you could move the related files into the finished folder. might break some links / get missing path errors in the project, though if you just move it with no modifications. >how do I manage templates I'd just chuck em in the general assets folder in my case with shotcut.

>>92709 its cus bash is retarded and un*x is retarded, fellow laindomo. u r using software made by a cross eyed malding retard with autism that nobody would ever take srsly if it wasnt forced upon them look at this dumb fuk file manager called Caja it even has a standardized way 2 show hidden files CTRL+H BUT it still doesnt show files ending with ~ if u go in settings ul see "show backup files" unchecked, which is the one ud have wanted all cus 2 garbage programs consider ~ to be "backup files". ofc seeing "backup files" i hav no idea what that could mean and wouldnt even look at the option normally imagine croppin urself out of cp u just made in a folder with 30 images then krita leaves the originals there as pic1.jpg~ pic2.jpg~ "for ur convenience" (and caja does not display them by default) and u never learn that those files stay there then u zip or tar the folder and post it on the internet this is classic example of un*x fuarrrkjobs in action: 2 parties do things in dumbass ways (caja hiding files ending with ~, krita creating backup files in some scheme nobody cares about and will never use), and teh result is broken dogshit. ofc un*x is 4 autistic glitterboys who like to delude themselves that their smart 4 spending more time learning pointless soykaf than others (this will b whoever replies 2 my post). file ending in ~ is like a microlanguage like basic regex that autists will jack themselves off 4 spending the time learning while they have spent 8 years learning such things and still dont have a job

>basic regex btw i mean that soykaf where u have to escape ( but not [ and + but not *

hello anons! My stupid country is implementing a central IMEI control system for all smartphones. What can I do to prepare and protect my data from unwanted glowie spyware in the future? I kinda don't want the government to find out about my guro folder.

>>92880 Don't use a smartphone or use a dumb phone if you're forced to. What country?

>>92882 >Don't use a smartphone or use a dumb phone if you're forced to. So there is no real way to bypass this eh? >What country? a post-soviet soykafhole

>>92880 >central IMEI control system for all smartphones what does that mean? did they make it so telecoms have to share IMEI data with the government continously or is it an app you have to install that has invasive permissions? or something else entirely

>>92884 If you're lucky your country has operational phone booths still around and you can realistically get rid of a portable phone entirely. Whatever IMEI soykaf they want to do, every modern law enforcement has the ability to track the position of your phone by triangulation of cell towers. The only good phone is the one that stays at home, namely: the landline.

>>92905 Look up "russia imei lock-in" or something, guess that's what they're talking about. >>92880 Ideally, you put what you don't want glowies to see on a separate device/environment. Read somewhere here on identity separation http://opbible7nans45sg33cbyeiwqmlp5fu7lklu6jd6f3mivrjeqadco5yd.onion/opsec/index.html Russian apps in particular snoop around a lot, looking for VPNs & god knows what else. When I got rid of them all, some of their sites mysteriously turned into 403s and captcha loops, without proxy.

>>92905 nationwide IMEI registry system is what I meant. A centralized database where all devices must be registered and linked to a user and a SIM number, otherwise they'll have no network connection. It can open unprecedented possibilities for surveillance and tracking. >>92906 >If you're lucky your country has operational phone booths aside from chosen few, I haven't seen any in years. >The only good phone is the one that stays at home, namely: the landline. yes but I can't save my anime on a landline :") >>92907 thank you anon, will read and educate myself. Yes, the New Russian Firewall is becoming brutal

>>92911 >yes but I can't save my anime on a landline :") To quote the late Lynch (RIP)

>>92912 A bit off topic but I am not really the artsy type to say the least. I don't really care for authentic art experience, I just want for things to werk (without being tracked and spied on).

>>92094 Which OS is aryanest?

why arent i able to compile their code? is my OS corrupt because of dual boot? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1088622/how-do-i-create-an-array-of-strings-in-c int main(){ char (*a[2])[14]; a[0]="blah"; a[1]="hmm"; return 3; } $ gcc test.c test.c: In function ‘main’: test.c:3:13: error: assignment to ‘char (*)[14]’ from incompatible pointer type ‘char *’ [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] 3 | a[0]="blah"; | ^ test.c:4:13: error: assignment to ‘char (*)[14]’ from incompatible pointer type ‘char *’ [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] 4 | a[1]="hmm"; | ^

>>92983 this would be the correct code: int main() { char *a[2]; a[0] = "blah"; a[1] = "hmm"; /* print array */ printf("%s\n%s\n", a[0], a[1]); return 0; } your char *a[2][14] makes an array of 14 arrays of strings. you then try to allocate strings to a[X] which are arrays of strings. if you want to make an array of strings of n length "char *a[n];" is enough. if you want to make an array of strings of variable length, "char **a;" is okay, but you will need to allocate memory (malloc() and derivatives) for the string each time. for example, in every C program that accepts arguments, you will see something like this: int main(int argv, char **argc) { ... or this: int main(int argv, char *argc[]) { ... argc is an array of strings: the array of arguments you put after the program (for example, cat -v file, argc[0] would be "cat", argc[1] would be "-v" and argc[2] would be "file"); *argc[] and **argc[] are both ways to indicate an array of strings.

>>92984 malloc() is needed to allocate memory for the array, made an error. also i mixed argc with argv, and at the last line **argv, not **argv[].

Today I figured I was going to try and fix an old CRT monitor I have (I have zero experience with these). It was only displaying a single colour channel and I figured it would be easy enough. I removed the carcass, grounded the flyback and cleaned everything with pressurized isopropyl alcohol. I figured I had to mess with the neck board (I think it's called) which was fixed inside an iron cage. To do that, I loosened the cage with a soldering iron. I connected the flyback again and turned it on, but now it's hissing very loudly and not displaying anything at all. I can't figure out what I did wrong.

Is there a non-soykaf resource (preferably a book) to learn simple yet secure web development ? I like the Odin project but they use npm and the fact that themselves pull so many different resources from different websites is making the ADHD worse. They also heavily rely on google. I want to teach myself to make websites for personal use but i am also interested in making some for local government agencies and i am not sure if that's a separate field from the data mining ad ridden experience that other resources seem to prep you for.

>>93042 > simple yet secure web development Imo, if you want to do web dev as a focus instead of security research, you mostly should just pick a good technology stack and trust it and its best practices. Security is way too much of a serious business to be a side dish. You will have to understand all the low level details of protocols, operating systems, system calls responsible for threading, etc. Although, there are some high level basics that everybody should know, like SQL injections for example.

so.... did he do it, or is he going to? Has something happened? <https://deadeclipse666.blogspot.com/2026/05/july-14th.html>

>>93045 check his most recent post. He moved on to a self-hosted site. https://blog.projectnightcrawler.dev/ he released a new PoC called LegacyHive. It seems to still work with the new july patch lol.

>>93049 >>93045 You know, I was thinking about this guy a few days ago. I had an experience a few months ago (honestly I can't tell at all when this was...) where I was stalking this Microsoft's security engineer, and ended up in their twitter. It was a mtf trans btw. Anyway, I was stalking him for a few days, until somewhere at midnight (east coast time) they started to complain about how Microsoft is retarded and that they got fired. I don't recall the details exactly, but he was very clear about how a lot of security in MS is done through obscurity, and that he hoped they'd implode or something like that. The next day all the messages were gone, and I just treated all of this as "he was clearly mentally unstable for being fired, exposed some random soykaf, and regretted later". I didn't really make this connection at ALL until a few days ago. I mean, to be fair, I am not even sure if I should be making this post, as if it's truly that guy, from this information it'd be trivial to track him. Oh well, I wanted to share this info nonetheless... I can definitely gather more data if I go through some months of browsing history later.

>>93052 >I mean, to be fair, I am not even sure if I should be making this post, as if it's truly that guy, from this information it'd be trivial to track him. in your experience, do these kinds of corny obvious manipulation tricks usually work on people? you're about as subtle as a scooby doo villain, do you realize that?

>>93063 Care to elaborate or are you just gonna say soykaf and leave? Is this some kind of troll attempt or what?

>>93052 Probably the wrong guy. The researcher of that blog is specifically mad that he found a bunch of 0days, disclosed them on their bounty program, and never got payed a cent. I doubt he was an employee to begin with. >I am not even sure if I should be making this post I mean, hey. if we can create a Banksy out of this guy, I think that would make for a pretty cool urban legend.

>>93044 >you mostly should just pick a good technology stack and trust it and its best practices. Make sense, thanks! I think I'll go the ruby on rails route for the back-end, i used php years ago but ruby seems interesting.

What do you think about Memdeklaro? https://memdeklaro.org

Was installing linux for productivity all just a cope

>>93654 yep, but I guess it's not a very cool opinion to have on a technology board.

>>93601 It looks like one big LARP. Lotta things I agree with but it ain't seriously happening soon. >>93654 to be honest you gotta ride with it or die trying for productivity. I'll cheer on anyone trying to cross the skill gap, but if you just want to get soykaf done winbloats Is fine.

>>93654 Anyone who tells you they're "more productive" on Linux is bullshitting you. For all the annoyances Windows 11 comes with, all you have to do to install and run a program is double click an installer and then run the executable. And 999 times out of 1000, it will just work. On Linux a lot of soykaf is improperly packaged by your distro maintainers. Take OBS for example. The Archlinux package comes broken by default. So does the Ubuntu package. Only the Flatpak version works 100% because it's first-party, but if you don't already know that you're fuarrrked. The way desktop Linux works right now simply doesn't respect your time. You as a user are expected to know how to troubleshoot hyper-particular problems in software projects that you aren't a maintainer of in order to fix basic things that should work out of the box. An operating system is a platform for installing and running software. To be a good platform for installing and running software, it needs to have as little friction in doing that as possible. It should not be something you need to actively babysit. Diehard Linux users never understand this basic concept.

>>93740 >You as a user are expected to know how to troubleshoot hyper-particular problems in software projects that you aren't a maintainer of in order to fix basic things that should work out of the box Not only software, but hardware, too. I had to troubleshoot an odd problem in which bluetooth did not work. I assumed that it was software related, but after a while I decided to check if the hardware was even recognized. turns out it didn't even show up. I had to hard reset the laptop and unplug and plug the batteries. Turns out it was electric static messing with the receiver. Could have happened with any OS, but I assumed it was a bad update that happened for a while, before checking other avenues.

>>93740 >>93743 This is true, but still better than being goycattle viced by glowniggers on windows. Overcoming the problem you describe would require lot of things to be unified and uniformised, which would require a central organization that decides things that other must follow. And the moment such an organization would born, jews would already try to take it over, ane very probably succeed sooner or later. Being soykafty protects linux from being even soykaftier. It's in a local minimum on the quality curve that prevents it from falling into a global minimum that is being turned into epstein-coalition goycattle prison-system software.

>>93740 Yes, that is true and that is exactly what I want for myself, however, the "non-technical Linux" niche also exists since at least mid 2000s. Imo the best "Linux for commoners" of modern day is Bazzite: 1. Immutable and very hard to break 2. Updates are done the absolute peak non-intrusive way: a new system image is silently downloaded in background and silently works from the next boot and can't fuarrrk up anything because you can't even install anything in a way that makes updates able to break it 3. The main way to install anything is flatpaks, and the default app store - Bazaar - is 100% flatpaks 4. Still leaves some escape hatches for user to try becoming poweruser and prepare themselves for real Linux before hopping to their next distro: rpm-ostree, distroboxes, custom base images, etc

>>93740 >Anyone who tells you they're "more productive" on Linux is bullshitting you. I completely agree with this statements but your supporting arguments seem weak at best. >all you have to do to install and run a program is double click an installer and then run the executable. And 999 times out of 1000, it will just work. Consumption is not production. Whether or not the IT guy has a fun time installing a software stack 13 levels deep for the MechQ team has nothing whatsoever to do with translating AFD markups to fully modeled HVAC projects. And he does not, in fact, have a fun time, he does not get to "just double click on an installer," if things have come to the point where he has to go to the employee's desk to click on anything at all then the first things he will double click on will be inside the Event Viewer and RegEdit. Linux does not aid productivity because it does not operate production stacks, not because operating production stacks is made tenuous and ponderous with bugs. Windows 10 was quite difficult to manage for meaningful mechanical design production because that "999 times out of 1000" is a profound overestimate for production software, and the necessary steps to ensure remote license access and other real world production necessities for instance are far more finicky than running an installer. (Before anyone says "what about freeCAD" -- don't be fuarrrking retarded, AutoCAD is the smallest part of an AutoCAD design stack, even if it was a full replacement-in-kind for ACAD it would not be replacement-in-kind because the -kind is not "a precision drawing/modeling application," it is "an application which runs all 13 requisite CAD plugin modules and engineering calc apps."). >Take OBS for example. The Archlinux package comes broken by default. >You as a user are expected to know how to troubleshoot hyper-particular problems in software projects that you aren't a maintainer of in order to fix basic things that should work out of the box. Happened a lot during the transition from AutoCAD 2018 to 2020. It was really funny watching small eng shops that thought they could downsize their support teams during covid just plain fuarrrking close. Dunno how it worked in other production environments but personally my gravy train from that party only ended in '23.

>>93740 The poor developer experience is often overlooked. As a platform you're trying to target, Linux is terrible. I tried to make an AppImage for my Flutter application. Worked perfectly fine on my Fedora install. After release, I immediately get a report from an Arch user about a missing dependency required for tray icon support "libayatana-appindicator". Flatpaks are too complicated, require too much work, and depend on server infrastructure. I don't want to rely on any third party to distribute my software, whether that's Flathub or package maintainers. Compiling software though is a waste of user's time and resources. It's unreasonable to expect end users to do that. As a developer, I want a platform that makes things easy for me and end users, so I can just focus on application logic. A good app format would be inseparable from a specific OS, and make no attempt at being more universal.

moooom! they throw meaningless npc buzzwords like "productivity" to bait the goys again! (the bait worked, because of course it did, it works every single time)

>>93740 Windows as a DE is like kicking dead whales down the beach for multitasking. And a distro like Ubuntu is far more usable out of the box compared to a default Windows 11 install. YMMV based on your specific software needs but whenever I have to use Windows for a basic task my productivity slows to a crawl.

Hello everynyan, how are you I am fine thank you! I am looking into having my own hardware wallet to store crypto. Mainly monero with some other mishmash as the need shows itself. I will be frank, in this area I am quite stupid, so I do apologize in advance if this is a question answered quite simply. The current options I have found are: Trezor Cypherrock Keystone And then there was another corpo who got their stuff backdoored, so for now i put them away. Currently as I see it Trezor seems the most sensical in both security and ease of use. For me Trezor 5 or 3 look the most attractive. With 3rd look the least soykaffy of the bunch. Would love to hear some advice on the topic, if you had experience it would be nice to hear aswell!

Decided to create a new post for this, because discussion on physical wallets quite big imo>>93884

What would be my best option if I wanted a human readable daily driver stack (OS + user space). By "readable" I mean a stack where the total amount of code isn't overwhelming. The only features I really need are opengl support and a media player (mp3, m4a, ogg, flac, mp4, webm). A web browser with at least basic html/css rendering would be nice but I can live without it, and the same goes for ext3 read support.

>>93751 Society is goymaxxed.

I don't know if I should ask here or ask /sec/, but is F-Droid still good to use? I found this article about F-Droid having security issues. But I am pretty skeptical about it since it recommends to use Google Play as an alternative which has had straight up malware uploaded on it that got millions of downloads. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/ This is also a stance that the GrapheneOS developers hold, and given some of the soykaf I've seen on them, I honestly don't know how much I would trust them. They seem like a bunch of Google dicksuckers. Obtanium is recommended as an alternative, but it just looks like it pulls random APK's from git repos. Accrescent is in alpha, and I can't even see what's in the store.

>>93953 This is the only thing that rings the bell for me, but it's far from fully satisfying your request: https://suckless.org/philosophy/

>>93953 OpenBSD, XLibre, ST (terminal), DWM (wm), MOC (music), Lynx (text browser) Surf (graphical browser) This is almost certainly the simplest stack to use if you're not going to program all your own soykaf.

>>93960 >if you're not going to program all your own soykaf I already do, to some extent, that's why I only need opengl support >OpenBSD I was thinking of BSDs but... isn't openbsd the most bloated one? I don't care about the security stuff >XLibre I'm comfortable without x11, but if I needed it, I would probably go for this https://git.dec05eba.com/phoenix/about/ it says not to run it on bare metal but I'm confident I could make it run on anything with egl, and it isn't a xorg fork, so (at least right now) the codebase is small enough that I can read it. and I think it's just a matter of time before the xlibre guy turns his fork into slop >ST >DWM >Surf >MOC they are fine but moc depends on ncurses (and ffmpeg if you want support for most formats), st and dwm depend on x11, and surf also depends on webkit. they are minimalist only in the sense that the complexity and ugliness has been offloaded to dependencies

>>93962 >OpenBSD 2 bloated No, OpenBSD is the least bloated. NetBSD is probably similar. It's a common misconception that OpenBSD is all about security, OpenBSD is all about simplicity. Security is just a big, visible benefit of simplicity for the end user. >XLibre will become slop In that case you can use an older version of it... If you're asking for X minimalism that's probably the best answer. Yes, moc depends on ncurses and ffmpeg, basically all music players will depend on ffmpeg genius. If not at runtime, then at compile-time. Of course st and dwm depend on having an X server, why the fuarrrk would you need a window manager or a terminal emulator without an X server? I suppose if you want a tty window manager tmux is for you. And you are right that webkit is a clusterfuck but other "minimalist" browsers are almost always a bigger clusterfuck. If you are asking for code readability suckless.org is about as good as it is going to get. None of these options are going to satisfy what you want completely but they're far and away the best I can recommend considering you didn't mention your hardware, desired OS'es, or anything else that you wanted out of it. I would be interested to see what you come up with if you go forward.

>>93963 Nta, but why music players need ffmpeg? It's not a job for music player to convert between formats. I don't think the last dozen music players I tried depended on ffmpeg in any way.

>>93964 Reading data like artwork from several different container types is one that comes to mind

>>93965 Imo everything regarding metadata would better be read by lightweight statically linked library of the language player is being developed in. If you want pure unix way that much, there probably is some cli tool for metadata only. Using ffmpeg is way too overkill for such a small simple thing.

>>93963 >If you're asking for X minimalism that's probably the best answer I'm not convinced, again, right now my best option for x11 seems to be https://git.dec05eba.com/phoenix/about/ it's smaller and I actually understand the code, it isn't perfect, but the point is that I can read it and see the mistakes myself. yes, I would have to port it to whatever I end up using, but that's also the case for xlibre (which depends on linux) >In that case you can use an older version of it well, the fork right now looks a lot like the upstream, the guy has said he plans on cutting down the amount of code, but it is work in progress. so the old versions are bloated and the newer versions are probably going to be slop. and it goes deeper than that, I don't trust a programmer willing to use ai, and I have the vague memory of the project becoming high-profile because of some controversy. there are plenty of people that have forked xorg or implemented their own x11 server without making trouble (https://wiki.osdev.org/Projects) so... >basically all music players will depend on ffmpeg that's false, I can think of counter-examples. if you really feel like you have to say something, just say that you don't know of any media player that doesn't use ffmpeg >st and dwm depend on having an X server >why the fuarrrk would you need a window manager or a terminal emulator without an X server both terminals and window managers predate the x11 protocol. look at that osdev list if you want modern examples of window managers and terminals that don't depend on x11 or the linux kernel. again, you don't have to get angry, you don't even have to reply, just say you don't know right now it just feels like you're "marketing" xlibre and "suckless" soykaf and then lashing out when anyone points out that writing a thin wrapper around a big dependency doesn't make things minimal >If you are asking for code readability suckless.org I have read suckless code and it's pretty bad. it took me less time to write my own window manager than to figure out wtf dwm was doing. a x11 wm doesn't need to be that cryptic >desired OS'es >or anything else that you wanted out of it >>>/tech/93953 >OS + user space >The only features I really need are opengl support and a media player now lets do some reading comprehension: I didn't specify a OS because I'm asking for a OS, and I said what I want it for: opengl and media. once I have the software stack I can start looking for hardware that works with it

Alright. I am in need of a laptop for university. I don't really need it for much other than using Windows specific software that unfortunately can not be avoided because only one professor teaches the class. This software will be used in-class, unfortunately, and running a VM is not possible for this software. I am an upper-level EE student. I want to dualboot this laptop with some GNU/Linux distro for coding and anything important and Windows for whatever soykafware I can't get around using. Also for Word, too. I use Word on a VM on my work desktop, but it's an old hand-me-down Optiplex, (10+ years old.) and the VM has been running super fuarrrking slow to the point that the rest of my machine is unusable. I need to research why that is, but it's been falling to the wayside in favor of work, club bullshit, and assignments I have no idea what my budget should be. I am a jewass and want to only pay like 200$ or something. Not sure if I should be paying more. I looked into some of the used Thinkpads, but I think I'd have to use a chink battery, and I don't want to do that on a laptop with important information in the instance the battery decides to explode or some soykaf like that. My current laptop is an E7440, but it's slow as tits even with Debian minimal on it, and the battery is fuarrrked, so I can no longer use it without plugging it in. That was a nightmare the semester I had to take a programming class. I think having a good battery life is going to be important. I was looking into the frameworks, but those look expensive as soykaf, and I don't know if they're any good. I was thinking of a budget of 500-700$? I don't know. Does anyone have any ideas?

>>93982 It probably depends on where you live, but here there are plenty of decent second-hand laptops for the equivalent of 200$. Don't get a thinkpad though, they are a meme and overpriced. Just get whatever you find that is in decent condition.

>>93983 >Don't get a thinkpad though, they are a meme and overpriced. Original lainon here. That's what I've always thought, and that's why I've always bought dell latitudes because they don't have the meme tax. If I wanted to buy new, then what kind of budget should I have? Also, for used laptops, what about the battery? some of them aren't made anymore, or if they come with one, they're iffy sometimes. that can be a bit of a roulette.

>>93975 >I'm not convinced, again, right now my best option for x11 seems to be https://git.dec05eba.com/phoenix/about/ it's smaller and I actually understand the code. Well, okay. If you think that's best for you. I was suggesting something that might work with less hassle (and doesn't tell you not to run it on real hardware :p) >that's false, I can think of counter-examples. if you really feel like you have to say something, just say that you don't know of any media player that doesn't use ffmpeg. >doesn't provide any Saying you can think of counterexamples is pointless if you won't name one. But yes, obviously I know that not *all* media players depend on ffmpeg. That's why I said "basically all" instead of "all media players depend on ffmpeg." As you say, reading comprehension? >both terminals and window managers predate the x11 protocol. Again, I think everybody knows this (and I have to imagine you could have deduced that I know this), I just assumed you weren't using W or Wayland, or something terribly far off the beaten path, given that you're asking randos on a forum. >I have read suckless code and it's pretty bad. it took me less time to write my own window manager than to figure out wtf dwm was doing. Well, that's fine, but again, why ask for suggestions if that's your attitude? And I have to say I agree with you in regards to Surf's being based on webkitgtk is really just an offloading of clusterfuck. Honestly, it gives me some trouble sometimes (although I am using it right now) If you're really as leet of a programmer as you seem to think you are, then more likely than not, nobody here will tell you anything useful, because there are numerous setups that you can make work. If you really have the capability to write your own window manager and drivers (that support opengl) then that's by far your best option.

>>93999 Nta, but Quod Libet, Clementine & Strawberry don't depend on ffmpeg. Termusic only needs it if you want to use yt-dlp integration, as a transitive dependency.

>>93999 >if you won't name one >obviously I know that not *all* >>genius then I don't need to name examples >nobody here will tell you anything useful plenty of people here have given me useful advice in the past on more esoteric questions >drivers (that support opengl) that's the problem, and why I was asking for things that already come with opengl. writing a window manager on x11 is not hard or "leet" it's unfortunate that programmers have been pushed into thinking that they shouldn't write anything and use libraries for everything, but a lot of impressive-sounding technologies are actually quite easy to implement and then tailor to your needs >>94003 apparently clementine and strawberry use gstreamer instead of ffmpeg. gstreamer uses third party codecs like https://github.com/cisco/openh264 that's interesting, I will look it up, thank you!

>>94005 > gstreamer instead of ffmpeg I only now looked it up and realized ffmpeg can be used for streaming itself, now it doesn't look that weird for music player to depend on it.

>>93957 Does anyone have any ideas on this? I still don't have any apps installed on my new phone outside of what's on stock.

>kde neon >huh, that's weird, pkcon is holding back packages i can install with apt >sudo apt upgrade-full >wreck my pc >boot from previous kernel >plasmashell won't start help

>>94024 >sudo apt upgrade-full Next time do btrfs snapshot before that. They work like purely functional languages so that actual copies are only created when files change, which means that if your update modifies 100 files, the whole snapshot only takes space equal to the summed size of previous versions of these 100 files.

>>94024 Save your homedir and reinstall. Linux distributions have the big advantage of being easy and quick to install.

>>94026 what the hell did you just say... >>94029 i kinda knew it could come to this. well... now my question becomes: how much do i have to worry about store-bought USB nowadays? won't the chinese put weird firmware viruses in them to spy on my gay porn?

>>94030 > what the hell did you just say... When you use btrfs as your filesystem, you can "save game" before update and then "load game" if anything goes wrong, and it will use exactly as much disk space as needed, because it doesn't just mindlessly copy everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-on-write

>>94031 i've been reading up on btrfs and it just sounds unreliable and dangerous. bad chances with data recovery and prone to heavy fragmentation... i've been using ext4 so far, but even that is not great...

>>94035 This is nonsensical, it's less safe than backing up data to external device, because if your whole btrfs drive dies due to hardware failure, those snapshots obviously also die. But that's all the "extra" danger there is, compared to copying it regular way elsewhere. It also can self-heal in case of bit flips from cosmic rays and self-defragment automagically. Not by default though, only if you use RAID1 or dup profile. Read more.

>>94037 https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Status.html

>>94038 > https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/su4y9s/comment/hx8wzdu/ > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/IOPR2R3SCKOFUCKPLMS4MDD5664SGQFR/ And that's from over 5 years ago, it got a lot of work and improvements since then. If you can find anything bad on it, please share links.

>>94039 not him, but the fedora guy talking about fedora isn't a reliable source: his job is to do damage control for the company. I'm pretty sure btrfs isn't the only filesystem with copy on write. and that entire approach is misguided to begin with: just have the user data and the os on different partitions. that's how it has always been done, that way your migration won't depend on filesystem internals

>>94037 >automagically well if a youtuber says it... i'm just not used to anything but e4, so i'm not sure if there's anything i dislike. the standard "i'm used to it, it works, scared to change" approach. i live in fear so btrfs really autodefragments? will it be slower? my resources are low.

>>94042 > just have the user data and the os on different partitions And what exactly does that solve? With snapshots you literally rollback to the previous state in a single command. You won't need to reinstall your OS from scratch to that system partition if update fails. You won't need to configure it from scratch, install system software from scratch, services, fstab, etc. You will literally get the exact state with any tiny customizations and every little nuance of file metadata as it was at that exact moment of snapshot.

>>94042 the btrfs cow upgrade also doesn't depend on filesystem internals and you can easily script the rollback system. I'd have to think about it but the only issue I can think about which surely could be scripted away is how btrfs subvols will interact with the boot partition.

>>94052 The only real issue I've found so far is that fragmentation becomes heavy with certain kinds of large files that are very often overwritten by software that works with them, particularly vm and db volumes. The solution to this is to simply manually exclude them from COW altogether by doing something like "chattr +C /home/user/vms".

>>94052 > how btrfs subvols will interact with the boot partition I did research a bit, surely it would be problematic to rollback on a live broken system. And the workflow seems to be very simple: > btrfs subvolume snapshot / /.snapshots/pre-update > ... update ... > ... broken state ... > mv /.snapshots/pre-update /@_rollback > btrfs subvolume set-default <subvolid-of-@_rollback> / > (subvolid can be found with "btrfs subvolume list /") After that set-default, reboot and it will boot into the state of system captured at snapshot.

>>94155 Any old and classic CS field? Graphs, automatons, computational complexity, etc. Type theory, formal methods and automated/constructive theorem proving are somewhat warm imo, they were rather hot before AI boom, but now they faded to background.

>>94156 What about something less theoretical?

how can i turn my dekstop into a wii looking one?

Casual note: looking for simple online utilities people use for address/IP checks.

Casual note from browsing: looking for lightweight online utilities. Any favorites that are actually useful day to day? (7)

>>94248 >>94251 I just type "my ip" or "dns lookup" or "online port checker" into DDG every time I need something like that. I end up on the same bunch of sites but I never cared enough to bookmark them because it's too easy to find in search anyway.

what the fucк is this bullshiт? fucк you

>>94263 The bullshi cable is known as a modified MicroUSB It was supposed to be used in smartphones. Sadly, I only remember seeing 1 (one) celly with such a port in my life - as opposed to several USB HDD caddies

What's the best way to organize shell scripts used for cron jobs? In a hypothetical ~/.scripts directory?

>>94263 my dad has a hard drive and it uses this type of cable. this is a modified micro usb cable

I always called it "micro usb 3". That said, it's a lot better than full-size USB 3 type-B. WTF is that soykafstain?

is going FULL dwm/suckless schizo worth it? spent about a few hours yesterday installing and configuring the system and its a pain in the ass as a hyprland user. What other suckless (Or any other minimalist software) software should i install ?

>>94510 >spent about a few hours yesterday installing and configuring the system >and its a pain in the ass >What other suckless (Or any other minimalist software) software should i install ? None. The only people who find using a window manager 'impressive' are nincompoops, but that's not the point. The point is using your computer in a way that satisfies your goals. suckless blow a lot of hot air. The fact that are proud of not using config files shows they don't value the right things.

>>94511 Seconded. Suckless is people who take the tongue in cheek "worse is better" and disprove it by believing it. Their attitude of smug inferiority is astonishing, especially their apparent worship of masochist supremacy. If that somehow sounds appealing, knock yourself out (you will be concussed).

writing secure code is like jazz improvisation. if u try hard n pay attn u can go and go w/o ever losing

Is TRIM still necessary given the garbage collection routines on modern SSDs?

>>94678 It is neceasary because disks don't know what sectors are currently disused. The other algorithms come about from Trim & from partial writes.

>>92135 >Is there any way to watch/download youtube videos using tor? I think the only solution is to change circuit. For me 90% of them work. To download video from youtube i personally use ogmp3 com. Lately they added mp4.

That lame cicada copycat thread got nuked lol. I've been digging into this charity organization. Weird. Pretended having thousands of donors. But has low online activity, 1 video at 12 views. Email address from a very dead organization. Used for a shiddy riddle about tablets and code. Smelled like a scam and a badly ran game to be honest. All I can say is keep an eye open for that scam. It may show up again here or elsewhere online.

is irc even worth it these days? It seems like there are better and more active protocals out there so why would i use irc over xmpp or matrix? IF irc is worth it please recommend me some good networks. And tell me is the lainchan one any good?

>>94760 >And tell me is the lainchan one any good? no, they're all a bunch of raging homosexuals
