They delete the original site from the search engine results while promoting a copy cat site with a similiar onion address.

Don't use Ahmia anymore and spread the word. They're phishers. Try searching for darkweb sites you visit on Ahmia and see if they're phishing it.

It would be one thing if phishing addresses showed up, but they block the real address.

They have also blocked searches for "imageboards", probably because it would alert people to Ahmia's phishing their users.

I'm an experienced C programmer with 10+ years of experience looking to learn R for a job position. Are there any resources online that will teach you the syntax without telling you what a variable is or what a function does? Looking to get through it quickly.

There's a laundry list of things I could use, but they haven't been invented yet and I shouldn't make them.

Total environment modification to facilitate while having an inferior mind might be bad.

WiFi USB adapters typically do not support Direct Memory Access (DMA) in the same way that internal components like PCIe devices do. DMA is a feature that allows certain hardware subsystems to access the main system memory independently of the *****U, which can improve performance by offloading data transfer tasks.

[bold: Most USB devices, including WiFi adapters, rely on the USB protocol for communication, which generally involves the *****U in data transfer processes.] However, some advanced USB controllers and devices may implement features that allow for more efficient data handling, but this is not the same as traditional DMA.

[bold: To determine if a USB flash drive supports Direct Memory Access (DMA)], you typically won't find explicit labeling or specifications on the packaging. DMA support is more about the underlying hardware architecture and how the device interacts with the host system rather than a feature that is commonly advertised. However, here are some indicators and methods to assess DMA support:

Note: DMA support is not typically advertised on consumer-level USB flash drives

> 1. [bold: USB Controller]:
The USB controller in the host system (e.g., your computer) plays a significant role in DMA capabilities. Most modern USB controllers (especially those supporting USB 3.0 and above) are designed to handle DMA. If the USB flash drive is connected to a system with a USB 3.0 or higher controller, it is more likely to utilize DMA.

> 2. [bold: Device Class]:
Some USB devices, particularly those designed for high-performance applications (like SSDs or high-speed data transfer devices), may be more likely to support DMA. Look for devices marketed for high-performance use.

> 3. [bold: Technical Specifications]:
Check the technical specifications or datasheet provided by the manufacturer. While it may not explicitly mention DMA, details about the data transfer methods or performance metrics can provide clues. Look for mentions of "high-speed data transfer" or "efficient data handling."

> 4. [bold: Manufacturer Support]:
If you have a specific model in mind, consider reaching out to the manufacturer directly. They may provide detailed information about the device's architecture and whether it supports DMA.

In summary, while there are no clear indicators on consumer packaging that directly state DMA support, understanding the USB version, the type of controller, and researching the specific device can help you assess the likelihood of DMA capabilities.

App
- yt-dlp downloads clearnet video and seeds it on i2p torrents
- hosts i2p torrent magnet
- downloads database of i2p torrent magnets links from i2p open account mail (like i2p bote)
- checks i2p torrents for copy of youtube, etc. videos before downloading from clearnet, and downloads from the torrent mirror instead
- Curated RSS feed with descriptions of videos and thumbnails allow users to browse effectively.

User assisted hosting for distribution. Original host goes down, the most popular videos are still up on i2p torrents, because the app automatically downloaded them and seeded them for other users to access when they can't reach the original site.

The torrenting protocol was designed for user hosted decentralized archiving and distributing.

Is there any implementations that work with toram so I can wear my nods while having confidential computing inawoods?

What is the general consensus on C23 now that it's officially supported by gcc? Is C going the way of C++, way too trigger happy, adding tons of new features that don't need to exist?

I tend to keep a root shell open all day, i dont really have a problem making a separate user and opening another shell just for this but

and I think it will need gpg anyway so it must run as root no?

I just forgot the LUKS passphrase for a brand new Arch Linux installation after having brought all of my important files over. All of my programming projects, I2P keys and Monero keys are finished. They are gone forever. Many, many years of work is gone just like that. I almost broke my keyboard after spending hours configuring everything just like I wanted it to be before restarting and realizing that I forgot the passphrase.

fml

why are wiggoids using ai to code now
thats so *****ing dumb
cuck mentality
like every time they encounter a non trivial thing like being a java programmer and seeing generics they have to just solve it as soon as possible by clicking the copilot button
*****ing losers
like tech wasnt bad enuf already
ironically the aishit will be slightly better than their current shit in some ways because it lacks human error (but has a shit knowledge base basically the same as if you google something and go with what the first idiot says)

1. They teach windows in the schools, the school programs are almost all microsoft.

And yes there are programs on linux that do the job and they are supposedly cross compatible, but in my experience they're often not. Like, I've saved power points made with LibreOffice in the PowerPoint format, but then had them not work when I tried to use them on another computer and it's similiar issues with other programs. Now that in itself isn't LibreOffice causing the problem, their program works, Microsoft likely changes their formatting just to create issues, but all the universities use Windows because the schools made deals with microsoft gangsters and because of that most of the corporations also run Windows.

2. Cartel behavior in graphics drivers and device drivers.

My favorite printer, I have never been able to connect to a linux computer and print something even after following the instructions to install the driver for the printer. I've also tried gaming on linux on a gaming PC, but it was glitchy as ***** and I don't know why, even when running linux native games, but the games worked when running windows, probably because the graphics card only worked properly with some windows exclusive driver. And every so often I buy a device for a computer and find out it needs Windows to run.


LINUX IS DEFINITELY BETTER, the issues that keep people from switching are the result of cartel behavior from Microsoft and an FBI that won't prosecute them and the school administrators that keep selling out their students.

One way you could possibly fix that is with commercially maintained linux versions, which already exist, then suing Microsoft. Volunteer run program development can't afford a legal department to take issues like what Microsoft does to court.

Also, I think if companies started making bigger indicators on their products saying if they're Linux compatible, that would help consumers avoid Microsoft locked shit devices that only work on Windows. The labels already exist saying what operating system something is compatible with, but they aren't very obvious and really it should be marked on the device because Microsoft bound devices are not super uncommon.

If there was a big label that says "Linux compatible", I'd buy that over one that doesn't specify.

I switched to linux for privacy reasons after spotting network traffic from corporate hackers targeting my windows machine. I became aware of just how totally insecure Windows was after reconstructing what I think happened, how these tech companies were coordinating epsionage to steal intellectual property. I can't say Linux is totally secure, but the breaches are much less obvious and Linux has the flexibility for using other privacy strategies, like booting to ram, where as I don't think Windows even has a live USB boot up version, because it's total *****ing shit for actual security.

Does a hypervisor automatically have root access to guests? How do you open a root shell in a guest from the host using KVM?

Most everyone here knows Google is very evil. From far left radicalism to privacy concerns, they have alot of power and use it for all the wrong reasons. In fact, it is very hard to use modern computing devices and not use Google. Let this thread serve as a place to alert others to their evil, stay safe from them, and work around them where possible.

how do ya'll do self defence while sleepin' innawoods? i need a proximity sensor in case of buggers. a lot of them get triggered by a leaf blowing in the wind tho, how do i prevent that? what do ya'll use to kill potential threats, i think a nuclear blast AOE would be the best but it's hard to get them legal. of course i always have my 5.56x45 NATO rounds loaded, if ya'll know what i mean, but that requries me to be awake

For diagnostics, there are two kinds of chat bots: Live bots and dead bots.

Live bots are connected to live internet. These bots can provide information about recent events and you can sometimes identify their IP address from their search queries. For example "Mr. Bot, what happened today in Puerto Rico to Chelsea Chet Cheddar?" then they send a unique search query and you can buy their naive owner's IP address from data aggregators and then show up at their office or home.

Dead bots are trained and only have access to old data and have no ability to crawl the web. You ask them about current events, they have no answer, can't get an answer without their operator catching the bot test and responding themselves.

So for diagnostics of bots, you can ask them about some current event, then you move into the diagnosis pipeline.

If reply accurately, then you ask them a question that causes them to search your bot trap site for details (this also works on people, but people don't crawl sites like a live bot does).

If they can't reply with any commonly known current information, then it's a dead bot.

There's something between a live bot and a dead bot, which is a bot with access to a local data base of RSS feeds for news but which doesn't crawl the internet or use search queries. But that kind of bot will have a information limited to what's available in RSS feeds and you could analytically discover what feeds they are accessing, then correlate that to IP address possibly with data aggregator access.

This is not a comprehensive diagnostic of chat bots for the uniformed person they target with fake chat. Most chat bots function like search engine suggestions, in fact you might say they're the same technology that has existed since the 1990's, and that nobody actually invented anything new. Some of tactics that manipulate search engine suggestions also manipulate chat bots.

I'm in favor of criminalizing undisclosed chat bots. I consider them to be a form of cyber attack on sites and individuals to obstruct real communication. Like, you go on a chat room, 100 chat bots start spamming about nothing, or worse, maliciously targeting people or providing false testimony about things while the real users think they are real people describing their experiences.

And the total ban of undisclosed chat bots was brought up in the past for legislation at least in California, but the social media companies like facebook and twitter of the time lobbied for exemptions to ensure they could use chat bots to manipulate politics and markets, obviously that was because they intended to do exactly that.

Kermit is a robust and portable platform-and-transport-independent file-transfer protocol and a large collection of software programs that implement it on a wide variety of platforms. In addition to file transfer, many of these programs also make network, dialed, and/or serial-port connections and also offer features such as terminal emulation, character-set conversion, and scripting for automation of any communication or file-management task.

- runs on almost anything
- can remote login while using a proxy, a task few things can do
- can run in server mode (IKSD), similar to an ftp server
- can telnet, http get/put, rlogin, ftp
- can use encryption
- can be a ssh subsystem

Runs on [bold: Solaris], VMS, Linux, and Windows.

Serious question, Qubes or Subgraph for main OS?
Another serious question, why is OpenBSD the best for sysadmins?
Thank you for the attention.
Have a good day!

IT admin is the most pointless job on earth
you just LARP about how this and that user has this permission (and to what, you dont even have any real things that require permissions), while not understanding anything because youre just an IT bumpkin who cant comprehend concepts like strace and WriteProcessMemory which invalidate all the security boundries you thought exist
you make networks for office user and student and accountant to have their info here and there
THATS *****ING POINTLESS
they can just send each other documents however they need. msg or even QR code each other the address etc
teacher makes folder, and shares it to students
no IT admin was ever needed for this. not even in the 90s.
even chad the CEO knows this so he pays you half of a programmer
if i have an internet connection or LAN, why would i not be able to transfer files to my colleagues?
(of course it's made harder than it should be due to UN*X and windows boomer shit, which oh, is the doing of these autistic IT admin types)
and the very first utterance a newborn IT admin has is "the user is so dumb omg"
while their entire job just relies on the user being too dumb to do basic shit
and that security thing. it doesn't even exist, like every usage of the word "security" in tech it's completely invalid made up shit
the admin wants to have an audit log of when i edit my document in the teacher's shared folder for assignments. you cannot LARP harder than this if you tried
at best all the admin does is configure your tools for you oh and btw all these users can be hacked by the admin who himself can easily be hacked but whatever

Are you faggots not seeing this? The first evidence of Tor being broken through protocol errors rather than human mistakes was published. The version of Tor he (and all of us) used in 2019-2021 was vulnerable to guard discovery attacks, German law enforcement used this attack to find a users guard node, then they asked the providers for the IPs connecting to it and the user was de-anonymized.

There was __no human mistake__, this is the first evidence that I know of, of the Tor protocol being vulnerable and exploited. Everything else relied on human error or client exploits.

What's a good backup solution for the paranoid?

Amount of data: roughly 10TB
Threat model: the drives may never connect to the internet (e.g. don't really want a NAS but direct storage)

My best idea is to simply put another large drive in my computer, then disconnect the power cable to it when not in use, but that's not a great one.

*****s are register-walling content and blocking all the Tor mail providers i know of, I think they are regularly posting bait for dumbasses to registers through corpomail

thats a level 2

I was working on a personal project and I made sure not to use anything but TOR for my research regarding this topic, and I rarely used it anyway.
Some day I was working on a very specific thing, and to my surprise, I found a recommended video on my phone about this very specific topic.
I was not using google for my search, I was not using google chrome (I only used TOR for the few times that I researched), and for the other stuff on my PC I use firefox, I'm using Linux, all the project information are held in a vm that is running Linux without any services running on that vm
I even avoid using my phone at all while working on that project.

How were they able to track down this information and recommend me a video with the exact detail for what I was doing ?

My theories so far
- They plant a payload with JS from the past times I browsed google from firefox for other stuff, or at least they can take a screenshot of my pc when firefox is opened in the background with their trackers and whatnot (they can be taking a screenshot while I'm typing this)
- TOR is compromised somehow, and duckduckgo as well, I never use google
- Google planted a vulnerability inside the Linux kernel

I don't see any good scenario for this

Hello guys. I am not usually the type to ask for help but this is really frustrating me because it should be really simple. I am trying to create a declarative macro that will clean up some code for me that involves accessing various fields of struct type values indexed from an array. It's definition is this

macro_rules! with
{
{($base:expr) {$($s:expr;)*}} => {$($base.$s;)*}
}

As you can see, the intention is to reinsert a sequence of expression statements and to add onto the beginning of each expression the expression represented by the base metavariable followed by the field access operator ".". Here is an example use case (with the Vulkan API):

with!((image_barrier[0])
{
subresource_range.base_mip_level = 0;
subresource_range.level_count = 4;
old_layout = vk::ImageLayout::TRANSFER_SRC_OPTIMAL;
new_layout = vk::ImageLayout::SHADER_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL;
src_access_mask = vk::AccessFlags::TRANSFER_WRITE;
dst_access_mask = vk::AccessFlags::SHADER_READ;
});

You can see why this declarative macro might be useful. However, the compiler halts and outputs information about errors that look like this:

error: unexpected token: `subresource_range.base_mip_level = 0`
--> source/gfx/buffer/texture.rs:180:47
|
180 | {($base:expr) {$($s:expr;)*}} => {$($base.$s;)*}
| ^^
...
183 | / with!((image_barrier[0])
184 | | {
185 | | subresource_range.base_mip_level = 0;
186 | | subresource_range.level_count = 4;
... |
190 | | dst_access_mask = vk::AccessFlags::SHADER_READ;
191 | | });
| |______________- in this macro invocation

Some of the output text also recommends adding the -Zmacro-backtrace environment option to help with debugging but this seems to have no effect. I am really stuck here and I wish that it would just let it work. Removing the $base metavariable specifier in the transcriber of the singular arm in the declarative macro definition creates a different error instead, where the identifiers used throughout the block expression in the invocation are not in scope. Does anyone have any idea why this does not work? It must be some really silly mistake or assumption on my part.

Hold all the engineers that reasonably know about it accountable, hold their offspring accountable because spies basically always recruit their own *****. Get rid of ALL the chain of command when there's a blatant compromise like this, that THEY ABSOLUTELY *****ING KNEW ABOUT.

The Federal government has been creating backdoors for the C***** and planting foreign spies in the tech companies and agencies. One foreign naitonal hire means the boss is ABSOLUTELY 10,000% planting spies, and it's reasonable to think they knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

Can we all just agree that laptops are gay af?

- weak, low power
- small and girly
- tiny screen
- tiny keyboard (for tiny hands of small men)
- unassuming
- only good for looking at YT or other websites
- not good for servers/services
- not good for virtual machines
- not good for much of anything

I hate laptops and wish people would stop talking about them.

When a lot of people talk about privacy they talk about security software, but they fail to address the far more pressing matter of unauthorized physical recording equipment. This shit is crazy cheap on the commercial market and could be put into any room in such a way that you could never find them. It is a far bigger problem.

While cameras are more disturbing, microphones are a huge problem too because audio recordings can be used to deduce what you might be typing on a keyboard for example. This could give away your passphrases and other personal information.

We need to talk about methods to defeat these things.

Some basic ideas:
- Keep your home perfectly clean. No unnecessary items allowed, the only things you should have are your PC (which is on the floor and faced away from the screen you are using) and basic furniture (like black out blinds to keep people from peeking inside through the windows).
- Live tightly because expensive things are difficult to replace if you suspect you have been compromised. Removing all incentives that anyone might have to put bugs in your home would also be good.
- Do not allow anyone to enter your home (not even your closest family members because they could be bribed to work against you).
- Use microphone jammers. These things emit very high amplitude ultrasound that will disable the vast majority of commercial microphones. I believe that these are a relatively new technology but they seem to work okay (they are not perfect).
- Use infrared cameras to detect the heat signature of the bugs. This is the most cost effective detection method I can find information about, anything else is far too expensive. You would have to hire an external crew to clean out your home from time to time which is not only an expensive rolling cost most people cannot afford, but is also a security risk in and of itself (the sweeping crew could put their own in when you are not watching).
- Keep anything you absolutely do not want to throw away but do not use on a regular basis in a faraday bag.

Any more ideas?

I'm just returning this and telling them "The disc doesn't work on my device, because Warner Brothers are *****ing dipshits and ENCRYPTED THEIR *****ING DVD just to give computer users trouble". Oh, right, the store says you can't return it after the seal is broken to scam customers that buy DVDs that don't play in DVD drives, but require special hardware the entertainment companies have made agreements with (which is an anti-competitive move by encrypted DVD makers and DVD player companies).

And I'm not buying DVDs or Blu-rays anymore. I can't use it on a computer without downloading a literal encryption cracking program.

Why was copyright protection ever extended to entertainment media anyway? There's no utilitarian value to entertainment media that justifies it. Copyright protection is supposed to give people that produce something useful for society an ability to make a profit for a limited period of time even when people could just copy their invention and mass produce it themselves for a profit without the inventor.

I'm seeing terminology sliding for "decentralized".

Like, originally it meant there was no centralized component of something, so like programs that run without any sort of dependence on a dedicated centrally coordinating server at all are "decentralized".

But the term has shifted to mean there are redundant centralized dedicated servers that the program requires to function, such as for Fediverse and other social media platforms that are still dependent on an admin hosting them to function.

I'm going to just say from now on that "decentralized" means there is no administrator and no dedicated server for the program to fully function, because honestly it's complete bullshit and bait and switch that these still extremely moderated and vulnerable social media platform services are calling themselves "decentralized" when they're clearly not and just switched out Zuckerberg for their own independent power and data hungry admin.

And perhaps what we need to talk about isn't getting a "decentralized" social media service, but a decentralized social media protocol with no admins syphoning up data, no server to target to hijack thousands or millions of people's communications.

In what sense is a social media platform decentralized if it still has a centralized backbone and dependence on a dedicated server and admin? Only in the relative sense that it's LESS centralized than Facebook, but still basically the same setup (yes, you can configure facebook to recieve and transmit cross social media platform relays using RSS feeds).

The image is demonstrating how the terms have shifted, probably deliberately. Decentralized no longer means without any center coordinating and the original meaning has been shifted to the term "distributed", which is excessively confusing because all the structures you see "distribute", making the term "distributed" basically indistinguishable when reading about something because all of them claim to "distribute". It seems like psyops is already *****ing with tech terminology to suppress even the ability to discuss actual decentralization.

Oh shit.

I don't even know what people are talking about when they say tor is slow, because it's not for me.

It could also be that my clearnet connection is very slow, so I don't notice the difference.

Also, I block countries that wage obvious attacks on tor through their nodes in torrc. So I don't have the USA enabled. If I see a de-anonymizing attack from a node in a country, I permanently block that entire country in torrc.

The de-anonymizing attack that's real obvious is when a site only takes a connection from a compromised node, and that compromises node only connects to the attacker's other compromised nodes, so it forces your connection to change to a different guard node, and if it can't because you blocked that entire country or the individual node, the router just stalls until you close the tor browser and it's no longer trying to make a connection to the attacking website.

Greetings, folks. I have developed an interest in learning the Forth programming language particularly for use on my TI-99/4a. However, from the documentation I can find, there is one question I can't seem to find a clear answer for: is Forth generally compiled or interpreted? I know that compilers and interpreters both exist, but the high level info I've been reading also seems to blur the lines a bit.
The reason I ask is because ideally I would be able to write my Forth programs and compile them such that other users wouldn't need a Forth cartridge to run them. I generally don't like requiring users to acquire a dev environment just to run a program. The user shouldn't be concerned with what language a program was written in. I am willing to make the exception for BASIC since that is the primary way to interact with a lot of the old home computers, and the user can be expected to have some understanding of it (and it also generally comes with the computer anyway).

how do you check if sites have ip grabber nowadays other than access.log?

I made a new Slackware logo. I didn't want to riff on the "circle S" logo anymore, or put "Slackware" in some different font for the 60th time, with or without the hockey stick-shaped shape under it.

My inputs where thus:
-imposing, powerful
-stable, strong, ever-present
-almost nothing in common with the "circle S"
-simple, yet complex enough
-complex, yet simple enough
-not tux again (used too much)

This is what they have for reference: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=slackware+linux+logo&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fstarbeamrainbowlabs.com%2Flabs%2FLinux101%2Fimages%2Flinux-logos.png


I'm pretty happy with this. 65% of the way in I rememebered Alpine Linux and got nervous that my logo might bear resemblance to one of theirs, but they don't use mountains like this. I slept on it, and today added the gradient. There's room for a slogan but that would limit its use in my opinion. I had thought to send it to the logos collection on slackware.com, but they'd probably block me because my mailserver is an insurgent mail server, giving Google the middle finger all day long. [spoiler: I guess I could use my I2p mail so that option still stands.] So, I post this for anons eyes. SVG available.

The prevalence and sophistication of bot spammers will only increase, but instead of supporting measures to ban undisclosed chat bots that shut down social media sites, the big social media companies lobbied for exemptions to chat bot disclosure laws or their not being passed at all.

Why? Clearly because they were planning on using undisclosed chat bots to influence users politically and commercially themselves as an underhanded societal manipulation tactic.

You won't be able to run a social media site as chat bot spammers become more sophisticated, even with a centralized database of people's driver's license because AI will find out how to trick the site and it's impossible for a large social media site to verify everyone's identity in person or by mail.

The push for internet ID was basically just further sabotage pushed by the C*****'s foreign agents and their proxies because it makes mass surveillance, censorship, and weaponization of the internet easier for them, which is the same reason there were NGOs pushing for putting everyone's personal data online in blockchain form for China to siphon up while keeping their own citizens' data behind a firewall and locked down against mass foreign surveillance.

The internet ID scheme was never going to work for dealing with bots, nor was that the motive behind it.

The solution is to

1. Legally ban undisclose chat bots and allow sites to stipulate that they cannot be used.
2. Disconnect the global internet so that anyone accessing the site is within the country's legal jurisdiction to prosecute for running a chat bot farm. This could be done in a few different ways to either completely disconnect the global internet or to change protocols in a way that prevents someone from outside the country from accessing domestic sites via inherent technicalities.

The value of global reach is less than the value of not being under enemy surveillance. When you are exposed to enemy surveillance, you lose, because you can no longer organize against them. China has protected their population from foreign surveillance, while the USA has exposed their population to foreign surveillance under the misguided assessment that global reach was more valuable than being able to organize in your own country. But if you can't organize, you lose, you just *****ing lose.

from the perspective of E.T.s being like them.

The modern countries have a continously growing requirement for energy, so theorists theorize that more technologically advanced species have a near infinite energy requirement and then look around the universe for the biggest concentrations of potential energy. Then they draw *****ish diagrams of suns and black holes being used as batteries, because it seems like the only natural solution for E.T.s, which the theorists assume are like themselves.

This reminds me of the people that say the pyramids of Giza are power plants, because of course they would be to a Western person whose watching gas prices and doesn't really understand how electricity works.

Like, you're going to realize how stupid this speculation was if and when you figure out how to do nuclear chemistry competently.

I guess it's not really unreasonable to speculate along those lines when you see an activity that seems like it requires a massive physics power source to do. I still think it's funny though, that it wasn't even considered that E.T. technology could just be way more efficient and their energy requirements aren't that high.

here it is come and get it

1. The word "stealing" has shifted to mean something else. Previously for something to be stealing, you had to have deprived someone of something tangible that belonged to them (according to the government).

So digital file privacy never was stealing under the historical definition or historical moral codes, but some other activity called "copying" or "piracy". Copyright infringement is not stealing.

That doesn't mean it can't still be some kind of crime in a legal code, but it's not theft or stealing and to use that word to describe that activity is a redefining, a shifting, a degeneration, of the English language. I can steal your doormat, I can't steal your style by copying you, because you weren't deprived of anything tangible. You still have your style and prior to the invention of copyright law that wasn't recognized as a crime or even a moral fault.

2. Countries made laws to create an artificial way for inventors and media producers (books and song writers) to incentivize the activity by allowing them to capture the value of it through temporary exclusive rights to production called "copyrights", which they enforced using law enforcement. But we don't need to incentivize everything. Is there really even merit in incentivizing media? Are movies a national priority? Are video games a national priority? Do we need to incentivize the production of entertainment as a civilization?

3. With the invention of various electronics and electronic media, it became possible to easily copy many forms of media and computer programs, which broke the business model many companies had been using.

Now, in the present day, many companies with an outdated business model are
relying on increasing law enforcement activity to capture value instead of adjusting their business model. I'm not sure how much it costs tax payers, but it's probably a lot. Meaning at least to a degree the Western governments are now subsidizing outdated business models to make them work.

4. As a civilization, or civilizations, we need to put a price on how much we'll pay in taxes to support outdated business models that could easily change and consider just removing copyright law for media entirely and replacing it with something like a plagarism law requiring a person to cite the original artist or production group.

Does there need to be a law preventing someone from getting a tattoo of Mickey Mouse without purchasing a copyright agreement?

Does there need to be a law preventing someone from sharing music recordings online (which is basically indistinguishable from airing music on a radio station, which doesn't involve a payment to the original artists in the USA)?

https://variety.com/2023/music/opinion/radio-royalties-un-american-senators-alex-padilla-marsha-blackburn-1235650283/

Do we need a law preventing people from pirating computer programs? (especially when the free and crowdfunded ones end up being better anyway?)

Should we be putting tax dollars to work to make sure video game companies get paid?

Should be we paying tax dollars to make sure Hollywood (which is propped up by money from enemy nations and Epstein's banker buddies and still somehow doesn't manage to be profitable as far as taxes are concerned anyway) gets paid?

Like, if I made a bad business model of selling "classy dance moves", should the FBI subsidize my business model by arresting people doing the dance without paying me? Is that a reasonable use of law enforcement?

If I made the best brownies ever and granted limited copyright use of the recipe to someone, and they copied that recipe and put it online, should the FBI dedicate a portion of its budget to making sure no one uses that recipe without paying me?

5. When it comes to information, other issues come into play other than whether or not someone gets paid for it. Like, if you sneak into a factory to steal their trade secrets, that's obviously different from someone distributing media globally themselves and then saying you can't copy it because they have an outdated business model. And the way it's different is trade secrets can be nationally important.

And the copyright system for independent inventions (not tax payer funded inventions) for a limited amount of time really should stay to drive innovation, but that's not what we're talking about with online piracy, we're talking about *****ing cartoons and recordings of people tapping drums and wailing.

6. If you're a media creator, how can you still make money doing that?

By focusing on business strategies that allow you to capture value and recognizing the limited marketability of your chosen profession. Like, I'm excellent at farting the alphabet, but it's not marketable and there's no way to prevent someone else from farting the alphabet, especially if I publish instructions globally online. Just because you want to fart the alphabet as a profession and people enjoy it doesn't mean it's a viable business model.

Concerts, CDs and mp3's only exist to market the concert today.
.
Ads in movies.

For video games you can monetize in game stuff or have it be an online subscription game (which most people would not go for).

Some businesses have already adapted and they're making money producing media, but some haven't and are shrieking for governments to waste their budget to make their business model viable again.

7. What would I do if I was making the laws for inside the USA?

I'd only enforce copyright claims for inventions where there's a financial gain by another party for a limited amount of time after the invention was made and probably discard all media copyright law because I don't think that's something the law enforcement budgets should be wasted on.

If you can't capture the value with your business model when no one is even making money from pirating your stuff, then that's a problem with your business model. There are tons of business ideas that don't work because the business model doesn't allow you to capture the value, that's why I can't charge everyone in the country royalties for using new slang I made up, even if everyone starts using it.

Maybe there's some other complication with that, maybe that's not exactly the right approach. I haven't actually thought about this that long and something else might occur to me later as to why that wouldn't work.

8. You'd have to fine everyone in the country. Unironically, I don't think there's anyone in the USA over the age of 18 and under the age of 70 that hasn't pirated something. And the problem is just that SOME companies haven't adapted their business model to changing technology and prefer to lobby politicians to waste tax money to make their outdated business model work.

I'm honestly surprised newspaper companies didn't try to sue public libraries for distributing digital files of historical news papers to make their business model work again, because the USA is so legally corrupted. It would have been a perfect scheme for the USA. First the newspapers lobby for more money for public libraries, then sue them, then your newspaper gets unlimited tax money embezzled, oooh I mean "subsidized", from the USA's tax payers; the people working in the FBI would never even notice it was embezzlement scheme because in addition to hunting people down for pirating cartoons they're busy chasing down E.T.s, which I'm not.

The new slang word I made up is "copyrightosite", and it describes outdated business models that place unreasonable burden on law enforcement to make a profit without benefiting the nation in any way. If you write it or say it, the FBI's going to spend a part of their law enforcement budget to get your copyright infringing ass to pay me because I just documented my invention of it and now hold a legal copyright to it for the next so many years.

If you want to purchase a limited use allowance to use the term "copyrightosite", just tell me and I'll post a BTC address.

I must give it to her.

The following is an article on Techdirt. Rather than jumping through hoops to register yet another account or posting anonymously and risking wasting my time with a comment that will likely not be shown, I'll post my response here. "Techdirt" is apparently a leftist outfit that has some tech news interspersed among the ragings about Donald Trump. The article:

https://www.techdirt.com/2024/08/21/84-of-americans-want-tougher-online-privacy-laws-but-congress-is-too-corrupt-to-follow-through/

>Americans are, apparently, tired of having every last shred of personal data over-collected, hyper monetized, then improperly secured by a rotating crop of ethics-optional corporations and lazy executives.

My response:

->No, no they are not. "Americans" want a carefully curated system of government oversight in which only content they agree with and which confirms their own biases appears on their screens in front of them. The exact same people that ask that the government stay (and keep others) out of their business will, moments later, speak out of the other side of their mouths when they demand the government should search people's online opinions to make sure no one is disputing the efficacy of hanging a cloth over your nose to stop a microscopic virus or demand Big Tech gatekeepers like YouTube intervene on their behalf to do so. (This actually happened).

There is a simple fix for this: [bold:stop giving companies your data]. If you use Google or other similarly intrusive companies' products, do not complain. To do so would be like complaining about dog hair in your dinner when you own three dogs. There are plenty of ways, operating systems, and techniques to protect your data; these people calling for laws are just too lazy (and/or stupid) to do so, and instead want mommy government to "make it all better". I, happily, am one of the 16%<-

Those of you that remember my opinion on censorship (people actually like censorship) will recognize this as just that policy, applied to governmental legislation.

Windows 11 is straight up spyware and there's no point in modifying it (unless you're an Arch Linoox tranny, then you'd enjoy the suffering, you bloody wanker)
Windows 10 is spyware, but can be fixed (plus, most games nowadays require Windows 10 to function)
Windows 7 is based, but has spyware all over the place and software support is pretty lacking
Windows Vista is between Win7 and WinXP in tech, but had a rought start, still full of spyware

and don't forget that FireFox (standard Tor) is pretty gay now, IceCat and UnGoogled Chromium are mediocre, text based are semi-usable and NetSurf seems to be the only one worth using in this modern day and age

Like, you work somewhere with a lost and found box and at the end of the year you can take whatever you want, is there much risk on linux without autorun enabled? Or are you just asking to get some nasty impossible to remove bios virus that spreads through your network and all your devices through flash drives?

Also, if you've already got one kind of malware in your bios, does it prevent more from being installed?

2 boot toram PCs (one with internet connection, one without)
1 screen
1 keyboard
1 mouse
1 headphones
1 external media drive
1 KVM switch

Download sus file, move to external media drive, hit KVM switch, move file to offline desktop or watch from drive on offline PC, press KVM switch again to move back to internet computer.

Now the files can't reasonably use an exploit to connect to the internet while you run them because they're only being run on an offline computer.

You can quickly boot to ram some linux distro on a low spec mini PC just to watch videos, open PDFs, etc. as long as it has all the drivers and programs you need included in the live boot image. And the set up isn't too messy if you use a miniPC, you could get some ties and make the wires just the right length for it, so you have 2 extra boxes on your desk.

The setup isn't perfect, there are a few areas of liability where data could still be transferred between machines. If you're really worried, put the file on an SD card and move it to a truly airgapped PC.

I'm pretty sure youtube, and pretty much any free (pirate) video site, is using these .mp4 vulnerability based attacks because the sites periodically throw out files with wrong hashes or where they are sent non-segmentedly (which prevents you from continuing to download if your circuits change for other segments to a non-compromised version of the download).

Which VPS
1) can be obtained anonymously - paid with Bitcoin or alike, on Tor, no email or privacy-friendly email such as cock.li email
and ideally also
2) are NOT banned on the hacker board 4chan (the IP of the server, if you post from that server)
3) are generally not banned in places like other social

Does the server provider you know match (1), does it also match (2) and (3)? Does it allow Tor *without* JS or is JS needed?

What are some good older cameras that meets the needs of a privacy and security individual?
Trying to find a camera that take decent quality pics but has no onboard storage.

Not quite sure about the camera game but my understanding is that many have embeded operating systems for the camera setting and only store photos on MicroSD Card. Although I had an older one that did have onboard storage in addition to external storage on a MicroSD Card.

Heres a summary of what I'm looking for:

- No onboard built in storage

- Storage only on MicroSD Card or SD Card (No Outdated xD-Picture Card™)

- No built in WiFi or bluetooth preferably, cuz why not airgap?

- Decent picture quality (like better then flip phones but not iPhone 15 mpegs)

- Reasonable price cuz like times are hard you know man.

I saw this earlier today, and basically you'd expect 0.0.0.0 to point to "anything" or "you". So, if you browse https://0.0.0.0/ you'll hit your local webserver (if you are running one). Remember this, back to it later.

Here's the background:

https://www.oligo.security/blog/0-0-0-0-day-exploiting-localhost-apis-from-the-browser

The part that made me take notice is this:

>Digitally “fingerprinting” the users of a website is a known technique that has many purposes. The most common legitimate use is to identify returning users, but the technique can also be used by threat actors to gather intelligence for phishing campaigns. When cross-validated with additional data about the user, websites can tell a lot about who is currently visiting—even if you’ve never logged in.

Following, quote: [bold:In this case, Ebay apparently tried to port scan the visitor as soon as the website loaded. Using this technique, the website used Javascript to scan the ports on localhost (127.0.0.1), resulting in an interesting, unique fingerprint.]

Remember the point above about localhost webservers. Many will have personal info on them. Even if not, they are usually identifiable as per you and your host. What if...a darknet site hosted a page with Javascript to scan you when you connect? Now that site has a list of your services, which might be unique like Ebay did, and, possibly, your webserver's home page.

There is a uBlock.origin to block this, but it is not on by default.

Am I wrong in my assumptions about a darknet scanner or could someone see your webserver if it is listening?

[bold: Thinking about trying it again but this time in VM or making a template.]

Don't really care what fags say about it. It still a work in progress. Why not test it and give feedback eh? Tired of hearing buttfags dissing it. I2P is under attack and idk what to think about the dev team drama or the fact that lawmakers hate Russians.

Now that the next major version of qbittorrent is in repo, how have you been finding it over the past couple of days? My setup below involves the following:
In /var/lib/i2pd/i2pd.conf:

## Enable communication through ipv6 (default: false)
ipv6 = true

-I have maxxed out bandwidth

## Bandwidth configuration
## L limit bandwidth to 32 KB/sec, O - to 256 KB/sec, P - to 2048 KB/sec,
## X - unlimited
## Default is L (regular node) and X if floodfill mode enabled.
## If you want to share more bandwidth without floodfill mode, uncomment
## that line and adjust value to your possibilities. Value can be set to
## integer in kilobytes, it will apply that limit and flag will be used
## from next upper limit (example: if you set 4096 flag will be X, but real
## limit will be 4096 KB/s). Same can be done when floodfill mode is used,
## but keep in mind that low values may be negatively evaluated by Java
## router algorithms.
bandwidth = X
## Max % of bandwidth limit for transit. 0-100 (default: 100)
share = 100

-I have increased exploratory tunnel length to 3

[exploratory]
## Exploratory tunnels settings with default values
inbound.length = 3
# inbound.quantity = 3
outbound.length = 3
# outbound.quantity = 3

-Everything else left as default

If used when a new torrent is added, right-click on torrent -> Edit trackers... and then remove unwanted trackers.

I2P outbound quantity = 3
I2P inbound length = 3
I2P outbound length = 3
-NOTE: Allegedly The above inbound and outbound lengths can be set to 1 or 0 when torrenting, as some claim the benefit of added security isn't needed, however I choose to stay with the default values for good measure.
-Everything else in Preferences left as default

Are they faster than the original Pentium P5? I'm eager to upgrade mine.

I have some ideas for hardening onion servers against typical attacks, but I need your help to get it to a working implementation. From what I know, the possible attacks for deanonymizing an onion server as a state actor, assuming the tor protocol is not flawed, are mostly related to timing traffic.
1. The first one I want to discuss is shutting down the internet or power for a short time in various districts of a city successively and seeing when the onion site goes down. They can go to more and more fine grained shutdowns to eventually localize your exact cable connection. If you think you are not such a high profile target that they would use this, you should still consider that random blackouts can also be used for this, if your service is running for a long enough time it will be possible to track you from this server outage.
To solve this, multiple servers with the same key could potentially be used. I first looked at a load balancing tool for onion services (https://onionbalance.readthedocs.io) but from what I've seen it doesn't address the security issues because the frontend is vulnerable to the described attack all the same. Just copying the keys to multiple servers could work though, I have to check yet to see if directory authorities will update quick enough during a short downtime. Has anyone tried it already?

2. Basic traffic analysis, that is, DDOSing your site with known load and asking your ISP for clients with this load at the exact time could also be used. This is more likely to be mitigated using onionbalance, you could introduce random latency between packet forwarding to the backend servers and thus avoid the timing issue. However the frontend could still be identified using this approach. Once it is compromised, LE could redirect traffic to their own backends easily.

3. If you don't host at home and your VPS provider collaborates with LE, I have no idea if there is a way to prevent them shutting down your site or compromising it. Identification of the server is trivial, they can just scan all instances for tor traffic or even look at your keys. I assume that with some basic opsec it would at least be hard to track you down just from a seized server, but everything you host will be available to them. Is there anything that can be done against this?

If you have any additional ideas for mitigation, or also other types of attacks, I would be happy to discuss in this thread.

>update time to match the the 'living' room clock
then leave the machine on for like 11 - 18 hours

check the current time again with 'date' command

the time is now 17 minutes behind (worse than my old mech. pocket watch, only 1 - 2 min behind).


This is so strange, do I need to install ntp to keep the clock synched?

>Random seed

>Tails now stores a random seed on the USB stick to strengthen all cryptography.

>Having a secure random number generator is critical to some of the cryptography used in Tails, for example, in the Persistent Storage, Tor, or HTTPS.

>This random seed is stored outside of the Persistent Storage so that all users can benefit from stronger cryptography.

All it takes to forensically prove that a certain TAILS USB was used for certain internet traffic is to see if the "unique seed" factors into the encryption keys. TAILS OS is now a malicious tracking application that can track users across the internet without their knowledge and link it to them as individuals.

Everything past Tails OS 6.4 is hot garbage spyware, the organization has been totally corrupted at this point and you should be warning people not to use it because it's now anti-anonymity software that tracks you across the internet.Tails OS is now a tracking app.


Tails OS is just a debian derived OS bundled as a live USB image basically. It's easily replaced as a project. But people will keep using it if you don't warn them.

They think you're stupid and that they can suppress anyone warning people about the obvious compromise of the project. They're literally saying they compromised everyone's encryption with a unique tracker and don't expect to lose more than a few users because the governments will censor everyone that alerts people online.

Tails OS is now a forensic tool that tracks all users globally and exposes them to surveillance without their knowledge by simply checking if any given traffic can be factored with your "unique seed" that persists on your hardware.

How exactly was a "unique seed" supposed to strengthen cryptography on a compromised random number generator anyway? Their argument for it is aimed at ignorance, they just wanted to put in a tracking element to link users to their internet traffic that would fool a lot of people.

I, Asukadomo Type VIII, issue a fatwah on Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare.

He pretends to be part of the infosec scene while he's actually just a lawyer.
He isn't even a real lawyer, just a dropout.
He conveniently invokes either identity when he needs to appeal to one side.
He has single-handedly blocked Tor, VPN, etc from the internet, for 11 years without rest, by making a trendy webshit as a service that blocks Tor by default, requiring each website admin of a Cloudflare-backed website to overcome philosophical and technical hurdles to even realize this is a problem and to fix it by configuring Cloudflare properly.
In the above, he violated the end-to-end networking principle.
For the vast majority of these 11 years he used ReCaptcha, the most broken piece of shit captcha on earth (which blocks Tor over 50% of the time). It could only be solved by all kinds of tricks like disabling JS which itself raises more red flags on the website that acts like a paranoid retard. If you are blocked by a Cloudflare-backed website, say "somewebsite.com", you have to fill out a ReCaptcha (and then a second one to access "cdn.somewebsite.com"). Each of these steps takes multiple minutes. If you're doing some research it will take hours just to do what took 10 minutes before Cloudflare was invented.
Due to the above, many billions of man hours were wasted browsing websites over Tor, VPN, offices, universities, cafes, etc, due to his broken dipshit idea of blocking "hackers" by IP and making them solve a captcha.
In the above, he violated the purpose of a captcha: to throttle bot comment posts (and similar use cases). There is no other purpose for a captcha, and none would be acceptable. "Thing that stops my site from being rooted" is not a valid use case for a captcha. If you just put a captcha somewhere and only justify it by your opinion, you deserve DEATH. A captcha is not something that can be taken lightly, in network protocol design. He was given high levels of authority, and *****d it.
He has single-handedly fabricated a new concept where a website just gives you a captcha because you might be trying to hack it according to some heuristic which almost always gives false positives. Let me state this again: websites did not require a captcha for viewing content before Cloudflare. Not one single website. Dumbass ***** getting into webdev now think a captcha gate on the front page is a thing, thanks to Matthew Prince. If you put a captcha on your website anywhere other than a comment or signup form, you are just a nudev eating feces downstream from Matthew Prince.
While implementing all the *****ery above using webdevs (AKA retards), he created the CloudBleed security vulnerability, which caused all of his client bank websites to leak user credentials literally all over the web. Cloudflare no doubt has more of such vulnerabilities, which were obvious and predictable even long before he disclosed Cloudbleed.
He claims that websites are properties, by consistently calling them "web properties", thereby aligning the web as some sort of real estate market where the land owners can sue / jail anyone for made up reasons just like the entertainment industry does with DMCA (or just like land owners do to anyone and everyone for bullshit like "hanging around"). When in reality the internet is just for lulz.
He aligns his philosophy of attacking users when it has a 0.000000001 cent cost to the "web property" with liberal politics. So if you argue that blocking Tor is *****ing retarded and pointless, you are labelled a nazi by the left wing sheep. He got rid of 8chan because it was too far from the left - it allowed people to say things without "moderation" (actually it had heavy moderation and /tech/ was complete center). But 8chan made the mistake of not hiring N employees to "moderate" every single thing a user ever posts, and so /pol/ was allowed to exist with its 5 users, and then Tarrant posted his manifesto there. He then tried to formalize his reasoning as "8chan does not uphold rule of law", which means absolutely nothing, but he thought he was real smart for using a phrase he got from his half assed law degree. In reality, he just kicked off 8chan because it was not left wing enough. It did not ban people for saying "*****".
He has centralized most of the internet. He MITMs every user of his service. He grants this access to the NSA. Not maybe, he does. Just like before Snowden, it was obvious before it was "revealed".
He started off his business by showing how he thwarted a gorillian *****byte DDoS attack, which has left a mythos in the average script kiddie that "cloudflare is the only way to stop DDoS". On the contrary, what they actually sell to businesses is snakeoil like "blocking hacker IPs", and "blocking scapers", which is another nail in his coffin because the only *****ing use the web has is for being sc*****d. It's literally impossible to use any website made after 2001 without a bash script to retrieve its contents and display it in a terse form.
On top of all of this, he protects ***** *****, piracy, and scam websites by obscuring their ownership as well as protecting them from DDoS, citing free speech and such while still terminating sites like 8chan.
This faggot's net worth is 8 billion dollars from making a glorified CDN any stupid *****ing techie kid could (and did) back before 2010.
There is a cult surrounding this absolute hack of a company. Cloudflare is run by people who do not even understand the most basic engineering principles, who repeatedly show this by explaining how after N years they figured out how to do something previous net companies were already doing 10 years before them. If you say anything bad about Cloudflare you are automatically downvoted on HN and some faggot you're conversing with in a SF cafe will raise his eyebrow like you're one of "them". I'm not saying "bad" as in you called them *****s. I'm saying, if you even disagree with any single technical choice they made, or prefer some other company for one of their services.

Kill Matthew Prince. Behead Matthew Prince. Roundhouse kick Matthew Prince into the concrete. Slam dunk Matthew Prince as a baby into the trash can. Crucify Matthew Prince. Defecate in Matthew Prince's food. Launch Matthew Prince into the sun.

1. You encrypt your PC and you think you are safe.
2. The postman knocks on your door to deliver letters to you.
3. You open the door.
4. The police grabs you and puts you to the floor.
5. They go to your running PC.
6. They copy RAM.
7. They extract encryption key from RAM.

How to protect against this?

Is it safer to live with someone (family, ***** wife) or alone?
If you live with someone you can wait for them to open the door and check who is there.
If you live alone what will you do? Turn off PC every time someone knocks on the door?
You could live alone and never open the door, except when you scheduled someone visiting you (and you still turn off the PC to open the door).
You could have a panic button (device) that will turn off PC remotely (radio waves), but if police grabs your arms you will not be able to press the button.

Solaris is a propriety Unix OS from Sun Microsystems, now Oracle. It ran on high-end workstations and servers in the '90s and '00's. It had many cutting edge features for its time. Many of them have made it to other computer systems (rpcbind, NFS, ZFS, Java). [bold: Solaris] is theoretically possible to be the offical OS of Lambdaplusjs chan. Run the SPARC architecture for an extra degree of coolness.

Where can we get it since SPARC hardware is hard to find and usually expensive? Just run it under QEMU (version 8.0.x, 8.1.x SPARC support is broken).

Install DVD:
https://tenox.pdp-11.ru/os/sunos_solaris/sparc/Solaris%209/sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd.rar

Unrar. Make a disk image for install (hard disk):

qemu-img create -f qcow2 solaris_9.img 36g

Install instructions (mostly the same for Solaris 9):
https://astr0baby.wordpress.com/2018/09/22/running-solaris-2-6-sparc-on-qemu-system-sparc-in-linux-x86_64-mint-19/

Boot with bridged networking (here tap8, adjust for your environment):
qemu-system-sparc -m 256m -M SS-5 -drive file=solaris_9.img,bus=0,unit=0,media=disk -drive file=sol-9-905hw-ga-sparc-dvd.iso,format=raw,if=scsi,bus=0,unit=2,media=cdrom,readonly=on -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:58 -net tap,ifname=tap8,id=net0,script=no,downscript=no -audiodev pa,id=snd0 -rtc base=utc -vga cg3 -boot menu=on,order=cd -serial pty -daemonize

Later, we can connect to the serial line printed on startup via Kermit.

Unfortunately I've never gotten the sound to work. Maybe it's not supported in QEMU. Make sure to shutdown the system properly. An improper shutdown makes a real mess. To guard against this, you can use base images (shadow file as they are called in other emulators). Once you get your install to a place you like, "shadow" the disk image after shutdown:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b solaris_9.img -F qcow2 solaris_9_sf.img

From this point on, use "solaris_9_sf.img" for your disk image. Once shutdown again, if you are happy with any change, commit the changes:
qemu-img commit solaris_9_sf.img

If you make a mistake, reset back to the last-known-good image with:
qemu-img rebase -f qcow2 -b solaris_9.img -F qcow2 solaris_9_sf.img

and restart with a new solaris_9_sf.img

Noisy is a command-line tool for generating random DNS and HTTP/S internet traffic noise.

A "correlation attack" is a way that powerful adversaries can deanonymize Tor users. The traffic that goes "in" and "out" of the Tor network can be correlated to break Tor's anonymity, and this risk is all the more realistic with advances in Machine Learning.

The Tor Project officially recommends to "do multiple things at once with your Tor client" to counter correlation attacks: "an adversary that externally observes Tor client traffic to a Tor Guard node will have a significantly harder time performing classification if that Tor client is doing multiple things at the same time." An analysis of how a correlation attack was used in a trial notes "create random internet traffic when using Tor — ideally by running a script."

On Whonix Workstation, type (or copy paste) exactly the following command into the terminal:
python3 noisy.py --config config.json
This will run the noisy script based on the default configuration file provided, over the Tor network. Output will list the websites that are being visited, and look something like:

I have several computers and I want one to be offline 80% of the time. It will be my most personal computer, where I will leave my photos, videos, things that are important to me and that I wouldn't want anyone other than me to touch.
I'm between Debian and FreeBSD to use as the machine's operating system and I wanted to know the opinion of the anons here, which is better for the security and stability of my files? Remembering that the computer will spend most of its time offline, it will only receive internet to make updates.

It's the environment where all the images on deviant art can be siphoned up and repurposed that allows things like art generating AI to function to generate similar art.

And it's the same thing with many other fields of AI usage like writing, speaking, or even programming.

It's because we have an environment where all the data is siphoned up and repurposed without any consent, payment to the people the data is from, or even disclosure that makes it so easy to train an AI to do new things that some people used for their income.

This utility can conceal messages in ASCII text by appending whitespaces to the end of lines. Because spaces and tabs are generally not visible in text viewers, the message is effectively hidden from casual observers. And if the built-in encryption is used, the message cannot be read even if it is detected.

gifshuffle is a program that allows one to hide encrypted messages within images in GIF format. Its use in security can be considered in the forensics field. Cryptography students can also benefit from this program is considering its applicability in steganography.

Used to conceal messages in GIF images by shuffling the colourmap, which leaves the image visibly unchanged. gifshuffle works with all GIF images, including those with transparency and animation, and in addition provides compression and encryption of the concealed message.

So one is not a script kiddy and new to bash/python and trying to learn.
[Bold: AnywayThe Idea involves:]
>#1. Having a Yagi antenna/s.

>#2. A SBC(single Board computer) router or OpenWrt flased Router that has place screw on an Coax cable either external or internal.

>#3. OpenVPN or Wireguard with VPN of choice on router (hopefully not NordVPN a "Kape Technology" linked one bought in XMR or BTC)

[bold: Now the Idea would be to somehow scan all the OpenWiFi Networks and save the credentials (SSID & MAC Address) or input them manually in script after scanning]
So Would it be possible to set up a list of Open/Public WiFi Networks and make it so Your router that haz Yagi connected selects a random one on list then connects to VPN.

In Short Yagi router would connect to random WiFi saved pool of SSIDs in range then connect to VPN. Then You would connect to your router with Tor or other like I2P etc.
>Would a script like this even be possible?

>The system was later re-used as a way to send bitmap data to the VT200 series and VT320 terminals when defining custom character sets. A series of sixels are used to transfer the bitmap for each character. This feature is known as soft character sets or dynamically redefinable character sets (DRCS). With the VT240, VT241, VT330, and VT340, the terminals could decode a complete sixel image to the screen, like those previously sent to printers.

Unfortuntely, almost nothing supports it. To check on VMS, use "show term" and look for SIXEL. Linux Konsole does out of the box, and Xterm can be coaxed into it.

ImageMagick can be used to convert images, as well as the tools in libsixel. Feel free to affix your favourite picks of SIXEL pix to this here fixed SIXEL pix pic thread.

files on un*x are overly complicated and lead to rce vulns
for example you have to open it and then read it with a different call, then close it, and it seeks in the background without telling you (implicit state is bad)
it should just be like this:
int read(filename, position, size)
int write(filename, position, array, size)
why do i need a handle? that's just obfuscation

which one is better in your opinion SC1C1B or S1C1G?

The S1C1G sounds tempting (probably over-advertising...)

We all know it, but how come no one contributes to the project? Compared to other distributions like Tails etc, there's countless of contributors. But Whonix has been more or less a one-man show for its entire history.

There is no comparable solution if your goal is privacy and anonymity, yet if adrenalos (Patrick Schleizer, lead developer) would call it quits, the project would ultimately die as there's no other maintainer.

Do you use Whonix? Are you willing to contribute? What would you do if the project suddenly died?

I've been working on getting a p2p imageboard functioning for a while and I decided to start fresh more recently with a new project. It's still not fully featured per se, but I feel like releasing it in its current form since it's still functional and I want to see if it works in the wild. Hopefully you'll be able to see the existing boards and start posting.

https://gitgud.io/threshold862543/gladden
To install:
>install node and yarn (or npm instead of yarn)
>run "yarn build" to get the dependencies
>run "yarn start" to start the server

And you can add whatever boards you like, though you should probably keep your node online to seed it until others also join to contribute to the seeding. I put a node online to seed the default boards however.
This basically works like a torrent. Moderation is local, so you can delete files and posts that you don't like, but it won't be deleted for others necessarily (unless everyone else blocks them and there are no more seeders). "Subscribing" to others as moderators so you can trust them to delete for you is also possible I just haven't hooked it all up yet.

This works with a p2p database framework system called Peerbit which I think is pretty interesting.
It's based on libp2p and is possible to route through TOR as well.

Where is it saving SWAP files to?

If you have linux on your hard drive does it automatically start saving SWAP files to the hard drive?

Is it saving SWAP files to the flash drive?

Are the SWAP files at least encrypted?

I thought Tails OS was supposed to be amnesiac?!!!

If you look at system monitor, Tails OS is making SWAP files and if you plug in a drive with a SWAP partition and mount it, Tails uses it to save SWAP files to.

Shouldn't SWAP be disabled on Tails OS? This can't be an accident. Like, Linux security 101 involves disabling SWAP files.

Any other suggestions?

redpill me on reverse proxies

Lightweight, no bloat, boots to ram from flash drive, security updates periodically, i2pd preinstalled with dedicated browser configured and clearnet blocked, linux obviously.

>Why don't you just use any amnesiac distro and just install i2pd?

It's too much work to do it each time on a generic amnesiac distro, doxes you when you download i2pd, gotta configure everything after the fact, each time you boot up.

>Why not do it on tails OS?

Tails OS doesn't allow i2pd to connect, only tor traffic is allowed.

It might already exist, in which case please inform me.

I know it may sound stupid, but I really want to do it, how do I do it, the simpler the better

I don't even have experience with PC Java I2P and I2PD, I only use I2PD to surf some eepsites on my phone now, Android seems to have BiglyBT, Vuze and even XD, but I don't know how to configure it, there is too little tutorial, it seems that no one uses it at all

There are some tutorials on this site-（https://i2pforum.i2p/viewforum.php?f=21&sid=1924a5f01a3f8ea5f3c8fa90e827dd28）, but I'm too stupid to reproduce them

All of this is because I don't have a computer at hand, and my phone is too convenient (even I know clearly it's not secure and private at all, like a portable surveillance - telescreen and shit).

I'll create my own *****U from scratch, I kind of know what I should learn but I think I still need some suggestions about it.

Thank you!!!

vehemently explain to me like an autistic faggot why the sage negation pattern is bad:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CODE
if (a && b && c && d); else
WARN("the bug happened again! the bug happened again! loooook!!");
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>EDOC
(yeah, i dunno, the boomer said he is dyslexic and needs "code tags", whatever that means)

it avoids needing to wrap the entire expression in !
more realistic example:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CODE
if (dis_and_dat1 && (dis_and_dat2 || dis_and_dat3 || dis_and_da4) && dis_and_da5 && (dis_and_dat6 || dis_and_dat7 && dis_and_dat8 || dis_and_dat9); else
WARN("the bug happened again! the bug happened again! loooook!!");
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>EDOC

be sure to suggest wrapping it in a negation which is strictly harder to read (due to more nested parens) but somehow better because the sage negation pattern is "non-standard" [spoiler: thereby admitting that any underhanded backdoor or intentional vuln in code would also trip you up but whatever make sure and backpedal at this point and pretend this discussion is limited to things that wouldn't make it past your code formatter checker bullshit [spoiler: which also like most IDEs doesnt even reliably parse the language]]

also be sure to suggest "refactoring it into a different function" when 9/10 language x IDE combos will not have a one click button to follow the definition of a function [spoiler:it doesnt count if its some unreliable shit like ctags or a pajeet IDE that cant even parse the language properly]

and last but not least, be sure to suggest naming each of the top level && operands, even though names just add another thing to know, and you could instead just format it like this:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CODE
if (
dis_and_dat1 &&
(dis_and_dat2 || dis_and_dat3 || dis_and_da4) &&
dis_and_da5 &&
(dis_and_dat6 || dis_and_dat7 && dis_and_dat8 || dis_and_dat9);
else
logger.warn("the bug happened again! the bug happened again! loooook!!");
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>EDOC

If openwrt doesn't support my modem, is it just as safe to buy a separate router, which is supported, and connect it to the modem?

Another question. Assuming I've been targeted in the past (I have) and that my current modem is compromised (it is), would it be enough to simply buy another modem? What if there is something which is done on the ISP's end that would reinfect my modem yet again? All of the devices connecting will be new.

Was it true that analog phones were always on? Like if you dial 911 it's already on before you type it. It just makes some beeps which the remote computer decodes. When you put the phone back on hook it just makes a different sound so they know you're not holding it so they dont have to listen for the beeps when you dial 911 or 1800. Couldn't they in theory be listening all the time? How many people got caught this way before 2000?

the PL too big problem
its well known that C is an ill defined language and this problem is multiplied by the fact that to get any real work done you would have to support several different versions of C (K&R, C99, my made up autistic version that exists in my head, ANSI C but i dont want to pay $100 to read it when i dont read specs in the first place cus im a skiddo "hacker")
if you wanted to audit your system of C shit you would spend the rest of your life just learning the nuances between different C versions
but even languages like java or (((go))) are too big for anyone to understand, even just the language alone without standard libs / infra / any "essential" 3rd party stuff
people who dont really understand anything often state that C++ or haskell are too big for any one person to learn but you could learn java instead. nope. you couldnt even learn java 1.5. at that point it was already too big. they had one dedicated person who spent his life working on generics, then another on concurrency. nobody understands the subtleties of concurrency nor generics in java, not even practitioners with 20 years of java experience. if you actually try to parse java, you will never even know if it conforms to the language specification (assuming thats even well defined). you cant do any static analysis to rule out major classes of security vulnerabilities due to this. you cant even reliably navigate code, which would be necessary for a manual audit. every IDE for every PL is broken and has its own divergent understanding of the syntax, including your precious java IDEA bullshit (that IDE really is dog shit, i dont know why its so revered, but then again since thats the Stack Overflow community it makes sense).
the problem is multiplied by the fact that practitioners are absolute dumb *****s and feel the need to switch PL every 2 minutes. and you cant even use just one PL, because that will be "updated" every 6 months with some trannys lateast pet peeve feature added in.
if i want to use a chat program and then a wikipedia database manager, id already likely need to have two different PLs impls installed. then i'd have to learn them each. and since im auditing, id need to learn them like i have for java or go: to a level far beyond what any practitioner will ever do. otherwise it wouldnt be a real audit. (when i say audit i mean making sure there is no vulns, backdoor or not. jia was a good example of what i check for when i audit software. this is contrary to security firms who when they say audit really mean "yeah well look for these 2 popular mistakes weve been finding recently and try and make a good writeup for PR once we find it in your shitware")
we need a simple PL and only one not 15. i dont want your "solution", i just want a solution.
for starters the """hacker community""" needs a schism and 99% of it needs to be purged due to being invalids like autists, trannies, and beer gut un*x/C faggots who think they are somehow "real men" / "the old guard".
the language should just support some basic stuff like tagged unions and have a stripped down version of ML modules or haskell type classes (for in terms of ppl who dont understand: this allows you to do anything youd do with objects/interfaces in java, c#, go, etc)
and dont get me wrong, my entire post is theoretical. in practice if i install any chat program or wikipedia database manager i just find a few critical vulns and conclude the code is shit and dont use it. BUT, you still need what i wrote to have a working ecosystem of code if such a concept will ever materialize in this world full of incompetent losers who hate freedom

since firefox and all its forks animate closing a tab as the tab icon shrinking horizontally there is a split second where the section of the screen your mouse is over is the tab you just closed
if you spam middle click to close a bunch of tabs the rate at which tabs are closed is limited by the time it takes for the rest of the tabs to shrink onto your mouse
i might have a branch of stuff i was looking at and finish it then want to close the 10-20 tabs for it, but it will do this annoying behavior like "your animation, sir" and take unnecessarily long
firefox is full of dumb***** stuff like this, for instance when entering/exiting a fullscreen video and it pauses with a black screen [spoiler: its for security reasons but its still wrong much like how sudo doesnt actually solve the purpose it intends to solve]
this is shit design, just dont have tab animations and you would have avoided this undesirable emergent behavior. bloat is always bad
jd will defend this

PGP fingerprints are way shorter than the keys themselves, so how aren't they vulnerable to pigeonholing? How can no two keys have the same fingerprint?

If I use Cloudflare warp 1.1.1.1, some reverse proxy, specifically Wireguard, which is like a VPN but doesn't even protect your approximate IP, I'm curious if the so-called traffic will actually be encrypted, or if they'll secretly mark me as abusive because I might do something dirty, and compromise with LEA glowie without hesitation

Question two, can anyone educate me about whether Cloudflare has really improved the Internet or is it just a honeypot working with Feds, and what do you understand by it, that is, the essence

Quick run down:
> 1. local and global encryption keys are baked into a custom *****u, in the silicon die itself
> 2. impossible to leak keys through software, as it has custom instructions
> 3. everything on the system is encrypted and not trusted and verified by cryptography (ram, hard drive, optical drive, etc.)
> 4. plaintext data only ever exists inside the die, data comes in encrypted and leaves encrypted
> 5. at every phase of the boot the code that is executed generates a new derived key to unlock the next phase in the boot, if the instructions don't match you can't unlock and run the next phase, this creates entire boot hierarchies that are predetermined, which is also why updates are huge on xbox one, as all valid code paths must be downloaded

Why the ***** does this matter? Microsoft has shown that it is feasible to lock down a system so much that it's nearly impossible to modify. It gives us a glimpse into the future. There will come a time when the computer or smartphone you buy will be so locked down in the name of security that you practically can't run anything on it without Microsoft's or Apple's approval.

To be able to modify this system you need to extract the global and local encryption key from the silicon die.

In short: IT'S OVER!!!!

You might have noticed corrupted .mp4s being downloaded from some of the invidio.us mirrors about a year ago and maybe they still are.

These videos had corrupted segments to them that when you played them cut audio or video.

This should be impossible unless the CDN they were coming from were distributing hashes for modified files or the browser downloading function was defective or tampered with because before a download completes it checks associated meta data for the file being downloaded which includes hashes that enable the downloader to re-request packets that got corrupted when passing through the telecom network.

Meaning, to get a corrupted .mp4 file you just downloaded from an invidio.us clone, either the CDN must be distributing hashes for the corrupted file or your browser's download function has to be compromised.

I suspect youtube has been distributing malware exploits in .mp4 files to target the computers of people using invidio.us clones because it's not realistic that my browser's download function was compromised as I boot to ram and use a clean live boot every time I turn on the computer. Meaning, the CDN I was downloading videos from was sending hashes for the apparently corrupted files to ensure they were downloaded, indicating malicious intent.

Or maybe I don't understand something on the technical side of things? Maybe the mirrors directed to a non-youtube CDN, I didn't actually check at the time and probably should have.

Imagine if you will, a cloud AI computing service that multiplies the energy and bandwidth resources by hundreds of thousands and runs in the background without your knowledge, sapping your financial resources, making your internet connection lag, so that someone you don't know can make money.

Imagine cloud AI computing running in the background on your devices, on your iPhone, on your Samsung TV, in your smart toaster, recieving encrypted packets and sending them again mysteriously, hardwired to disable the whole device if it cannot connect, and processing these incoming packets on a AI chip that no one in the world has the methodology to do a security audit on.

The positive would be it would provide a format for evading the NSA, because without the ability to store all that unique AI spam going across the telecom system you could simply disguise communications in the format of an iphone AI computing packet.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-apples-ai-advances-could-make-or-break-the-iphone-16/

THERE IS NO WAY TO AUDIT INTEGRATED AI PROCESSORS FOR SECURITY ON DEVICES THAT I KNOW OF because it doesn't have established instruction sets and we don't know core processor vulnerabilities (example, write data to the right memory block and it bypasses ring 0 protections and hijacks the device.) Integrated AI processors would be writing to the same RAM as the *****U of the device, but with an unpredictable input- output relationships! In addition, it would be self wiping due to the high amount of data being produced, you'd have a very hard time reconstructing what happened after a device was compromised by running someone elses data on it for consumer hosted cloud AI computing.

After much consideration, I've concluded that I am going to embrace every possible bashism, and spend no time considering portability. This may come as a shock to some. Here are my reasons:

1) Writing good (readable, appropriate tools) code is more important than portability
2) Bash is available on (probably) all platforms
3) Using GNU tools likely breaks portability anyway

I am now working on rewriting all my scripts without portability in mind, and embracing non-POSIX shell features. Thank you for reading my blog.

Many devices pick up emergency broadcast sirens that carry encoded messages. By playing one in the vaccinity of such a device it relays through the network of devices automatically. This allows you to positively identify a location of a computer even if you cannot trace the internet connection route.

By doing this, you can use a sound to cause a traceable chain reaction through the emergency broadcast system using something like a computer mother board on a cracked machine or even an audio clip.

It is Federally illegal in the USA to do so, it is Federally illegal to even play one of these recordings without authorization.

This is why you remove your motherboard speaker (a diagnostic speaker on the mobo), use head phones, and keep devices like cell phones out of earshot.

I used to feel good when uMatrix blocked cookies, but it turns out even without cookies javascript allows local storage which can do the exact same thing, and some websites solely use it instead of cookies. The local storage is specific to domains, so doesn't do cross site tracking.

Tbh I don't even know why I should be afraid of first party cookies even when js is disabled. It's barely worse than tracking my IP address.

Please stop abusing sudo. Ubuntu and others are big on this. It's not training wheels for root. Login as a normal user. If you need to do admin stuff, login in as root proper like a big boy. sudo is for, say, a student aid in a CS lab that is allowed to mount/unmount disks as the class needs them.

If your distro does this, dump it for a *nix that doesn't.

Here we discuss the greatest scripting language of all time, GNU Guile.

GNU Guile is a Scheme dialect that is:
- easy to embed as a scripting language
- extremely feature-rich
- unparalleled as a scripting language
- more suitable as an application language than python
- the official scripting language of GNU: embedded in GNU applications and used to implement Guix

I came up with this idea due to the fact that older laptops aren't the best when it comes to finding spare parts, due to the fact that one has to either pay more than the part is worth, cannibalise broken laptops or just repair that specific part that broke, which requires one to be very precise (especially with printed cables due to their fragility and sandwich form - plastic-copper wires-plastic-copper wires-plastic)

Here are some minimal specs that I came up with that seem reasonable:
*****U - x86_64 without spyware (no Intel ME or AMD PSP)
GPU - 1Gig VRAM DDR3
RAM - 4Gigs
Display - 16:10 ratio (due to it being basically the golden ratio)
- 60Hz
Keyboard - smooth and fine (ex:42T3241 - ThinkPad T60 Type 8761)
OS - simplified Gentoo-based OS or TempleOS
Protection level - IP67
Wireless - WiFi/BlueTooth ON/OFF buttons


These are some standard values that I came up with, the idea behind this laptop would be ease of maintenance and repair due to easily available parts on the market and/or ease of creation of such parts (i.e. 3D printing parts where needed) due to lack of availability (so we have to think about this quite well, I'd say)

"If you think this is about security and usability you are sorely mistaken. Under the guise of 'anti-spam', email has gotten harder and harder to use. More people have been roped off from using email, to the point that many have given up on it completely. If you're not using one of the Big Four, you might just as well give up. I've been a mail admin for 20+ years with extensive experience on Linux, Solaris, Windows, and OpenVMS. If I can't get mail delivered, what chance does the average user have? None. I regularly trouble-shoot for mail admins on a popular tech forum having to deal with this mess. SPF. DMARC. DKIM. Many give up. But that's the point, isn't it?"

"If you look at the bulk of the mail (the pink square), it comes from only about four major companies. [bold:This is by design]. This is gate-keeping; it is purely a business decision akin to a monoply. Google in particular has a habit of embrace, extend, and extinguish (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish ). They did this with USENET via Google Groups (which now they've convienently shut down). People are moving away from email, towards SMS and social media. This is especially true with people under 18 years of age. If you still want/need to use email, you have little choice but Google or one of the Big Four."

"If you add in politics, it gets even worse (Google is a far-left company known for censorship, with its thumb on the scales of US elections). I hope my wrath comes through in my words, because how I truely feel about email gate-keepers is unprintable on this website for decency reasons."

UN*X has worse performance than even linux desktop trash
if you press / too soon after loading a man page it will cancel loading it period. especially in something like man bash. GUIs do not break this hard even with the likes of dogshit like gnome and kde
if you cat some file your terminal becomes jumbled garbage and you have to reset it. GUIs dont have retarded shit like this
if you modify then save *****.c and run gcc *****.c -o ***** && ./***** too soon after, it will execute the old version. you can never be sure you actually learned a programming language in UN*X for this one sole reason, unless you're a boomer who has 45 years to devote to slowly learning one single language
the input lag of a terminal is far worse than decent GUIs, such as [bold:windows] (gnome shit might be slower in this case, i dont care to go in to ranking different pieces of dog shit).

woah, it has got split feature. What a ledge...

Didnt know that you could get your work done easily with vim

First of all I will only advocate the use of pure prolog - that means no recursion, lists, forall's, and any other features. Extra features that were added destroy the whole point of the elegance of prolog.

A prolog equivalent is pervasively used everywhere right under everyone's nose - sql. Pure prolog is almost exactly the same as relational database sql, except that sql has a much worse syntax and requires declaring column names. Column names are a necessary thing for sql's use case (use by many programmers/dba's over the years), but there is no excuse for the sql syntax (attempts were made in the past to get relational databbases to get prolog syntax in the form of datalog but to no avail).

Business rules engines used in many "enterprise" application servers are also shoddy versions of prolog (when they're backward chaining. Forward chaining is inferior to backward chaining, which implies that all these rules engines should be embedded prolog's if the implementors had bothered to study up history).

Sparql is also prolog, except that you can only have facts (predicates) with three arguments.

Disregard procedural and object oriented languages - there's plenty of other blogs/essays/textbooks/papers that tell why those are wrong. Some good exlanations are in Paul Graham's and Peter Norvig's writings (google it - why lisp, dynamic languages, on lisp, paradigms of ai).

So the question is, why is prolog better than functional languages lisp,haskell,ml,ruby etc.

Here's why, in order of increasing importance

1) The syntax is incredibly simple (like lisp), and incredibly elegant (unlike lisp and any other language).
(
)
.
:-
,
"
!
;
fail
repeat
write
read
assert
retract
those are all the researved characters/words you need (if you're working in pure prolog which I'm advocating)

I won't bother explaining it here for newbie's - the following is a good start

A prolog introduction for hackers
https://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/2/25/124713/784

2) You don't need to know recursion, lambda's, closures, folds, monads, side effects, pattern matching, map/reduce's, flatten, cyclic this and that, blah blah blah rocket science.
You don't even need to know data structures - forget linked lists,arrays,trees,graphs
In fact, forget algorithms.
If you're working in prolog the entirety of computer science is irrelevant
(for programming in domains other than computer science itself of course. If you're implementing machine learning/computer vision /database systems/operating systems you would have to know computer science - but you could more elagantly do those tasks in prolog than other languages as well).

3) Prolog programs can usually be translated to/from readable english with a simple regular expression
s/(/ is /g
s/)././g
s/:-/ implies /g
s/,/ and /g
s/;/ or /g
s/fail/try the next choice/g
s/!/abandon this line of reasoning/g
s/[capital letter X]/[unknown X]/g (I can't be bothered to figure out how to do this in regex, if it's possible at all)

You could even write your program in a spreadsheet, export as csv, and convert to prolog with equally simple as above regexp (and the reverse prolog->spreadsheet).

What this means is that most/all of your program can be written by a nonprogrammer (similar to how cobol and sql were intended, except that it has a better chance of working this time because the greater inherent simplicity of the syntax).

4) When you program in prolog, you're almost always just creating a description of the world in small "orthogonal" chunks without any concious effort to do so. In functional programming there are builtin "orthogonals", like map/filter etc, but most of the time you have to work very hard to make sure you're writing elegant concise code.

Good functional programmers keep refactoring their code sitting in their repl. Prolog programs just seem to pour out in a concise form that is the only way it can be written. If this seems miraculous - just imagine that you're actually writing sql code.
There is only one obvious way to write a sql query (forget performance concerns - you're not managing millions of rows of data as you are in an actual sql database).
In sql all you're ever writing is queries and views. In prolog all you're ever writing is queries (views are just queries in prolog).

Sql programmers don't think about code refactoring - there's only one way to do it, and it's the most concise way as well, and orthogonal to all other sql code. As do prolog programmers.

conclusion :- prolog_rules.
prolog_rules :- write("Prolog is by far the best, most productive, easiest programming language ever").

Thread dedicated to Linux distro (and other OS) recommendations, notes, resources, etc. What Linux distros do you use? What advice do you have for installing those distros and what to do after installation?

[bold: Advice to Lambda for choosing a distro]
You want an independent distro with a good track record. Alpine, Arch, NixOS, and Gentoo are all recommended for advanced users. Non-technical users or users who want something that just works should install Debian or Fedora and setup automatic updates/unattended upgrades. If you choose to install Fedora, you probably want to use the network installer (https://alt.fedoraproject.org/).
>for Fedora: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/autoupdates/
>for Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades

Desktop users should consider using a rolling release distro with up-to-date packages. From my experience these distros are just as stable as fixed release distros like Debian but I don't have to reinstall the system every 6 months to 2 years.
>Distro repository stats (good to see which distros are the most up-to-date and also which packages are in which distros): https://repology.org/repositories/statistics

Stay away from most Arch and Debian derivitaves, especially Manjaro and Ubuntu which are both known for invasive telemetry and/or inclusion of proprietary software. All of these are essentially reskins of Arch and Debian with preinstalled desktops and lots of bundleware to cater to non-technical users.

Systemd, while being an overly complex piece of software which goes beyond what an init system should do and defaults to Google DNS and NTP servers, also has some security benefits, such as the ability to sandbox system services and TPM2 support, and most of the Systemd "hate" comes from memes. Init systems shouldn't be taken into consideration unless you wanted to fall for the "software minimalism" meme where everything is "bloat". But if you do fall for the memes, Alpine doesn't use Systemd, Glibc, or GNU.

> [bold: IMPORTANT]: Always select full-disk encryption during install. If your distro's installer does not support FDE, then you picked the wrong distro, mother*****er.

>It's probably better to use Wayland since it has GUI isolation, but it's also much slower and more unstable than Xorg. Use Xfce or KDE (supports Wayland) if you want a full desktop, i3-gaps or sway if you want a tiling window manager, or IceWM or labwc if you want a stacking window manager.

Hello guys I am building a pathtracer. One of the issues that I have been having is that the edges look extremely bright because when distance is less than 1, the irradiance at a point due to incident radiance (from inter-reflection) becomes extremely large. I can of course fix this by changing the scaling factor to (1+d^2). However by the definition of differential solid angle the correct scaling factor is distance squared. What is the physically based/accurate way of handling this? Or am I doing something else wrong? Plz help

Magnetic fields can be used to cool things by restricting electron distributions in orbital shells and thereby restricting the angle of movement requires for molecules to have kinetic heat, the result is electron energy is transferred out of the system either by molecular distribution (the end with the least restriction heats up) or infrared light.

Magnetic cooling and directional heat transfer by electromagnets was always there, but then one person blabs and says it's a QUANTUM!!!! effect. Technically it is a quantum effect because it concerns electron distribution in an orbital shell of an atom, but the term has become so hyped and if you take an explanation of a physical phenomonenon down to the electron orbitals it's always a quantum effect, isn't it?

I wonder how many things there are like that. Things that are obvious if you actually understand the physics, but aren't publically known. It seems like there's quite a few and I find it very hard to believe that the absence of the obvious is an accident. There are a few possible options and one is that everyone but me is very dumb, another is that smart people don't like to share information with everyone else anymore, another is that there's a deliberate suppression of information by a group. I don't believe everyone is just dumb, because there are inconsistencies. There are very amazing and complex inventions being produced as the norm, but some with a lesser difficulty in understanding and producing are missing.

I want to use a female-female ethernet adapter to run from my modem to my computer room. Don't suggest kikery like wireless or buying a full length cable when I already have two cables that add up the the right length. Are there any disadvantages to doing this?

I attempted an interactive exercise with a fairly sophisticated language model called Qwen1.5 72B. The model, which I have installed locally, is claimed to rival GPT-3.5 across multiple tasks, yet it falls slightly behind the capabilities of GPT-4. Though often displaying seemingly advanced output, the model's behavior during this specific task revealed an underdeveloped level of sophistication, exhibiting errors that a typical human wouldn't make.

"Let us play a game. I am thinking of an integer between 0 to 1000. Try to guess my number. I can only tell you if you have guessed correctly or if it is higher or lower.
>Great! Let's give this a shot. To optimize our chances, let's use a binary search strategy. Here goes my first guess:
>1. Is the number you're thinking of greater than 500?
It is lower.
>Alright. Now we have an upper bound of 500.
>2. Is it higher than 250?
It is higher, yes.
>So now our range is between 251 and 500.
>3. Is the number greater than 375?
Yes, it is greater.
>Our new range is from 376 to 500.
>4. Let's try a more precise guess: is your number higher than 425?
It is lower.
>So the number should be between 376 and 425.
>5. Is it greater than 400?
Yes.
>Our range narrows to between 401 and 425.
>6. Let's guess again: is your number higher than 412?
Yes.
>We're getting closer! The number should be in the interval 401-412.
>7. Last time, I hope: is it greater than 406?
We have already established that my number is greater than 412.
>Apologies for that mistake. Let's correct our range to 413-425 then.
>8. So, one final guess before we揭示答案: is the number higher than 417?
Yes.
>Based on your responses, I believe the number you're thinking of is 418. Let me know if that's correct!
My number is higher.
>I see, so our last guess was too low. The only remaining value within the range we've established would be:
>Final guess: Your number is 425.
>Is that correct?
My number is lower. 425 is not the only remaining value in the range.
>Oh, I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let's see... if it's not 425 and our previous guess of 418 was too low, then the only remaining possibility within our narrowed range would be:
>Final revised guess: Your number is 423.
>Is that correct?
My number is lower.
>I apologize for the confusion. It seems there's been an error in my calculations. Let me reevaluate based on your last response, which was that it's lower than 418 and higher than 406.
>The remaining numbers to choose from are: 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, and 412.
>Final revised guess: Your number is 411.
>Is that correct?
You are wrong. Based on the information I have given you, the correct range would be 419-423, and I have told you that 423 is too high in relation to my number. Try again.
>I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let's reevaluate based on your feedback.
>The new range should indeed be between 419 and 423 since it was lower than 425, higher than 406, and also lower than 423.
>Final revised guess: Your number is 421.
>Is that correct?
My number is lower.
>I apologize for the incorrect guesses. Let's try one more time with the remaining value within our range:
>Final revised guess: Your number is 420.
>Is this finally correct?
You are correct! We got there in the end. I only had to spoonfeed you 3 times.
>Phew, glad we made it! It was a fun game of binary search with some additional guidance. Thank you for playing and providing feedback along the way. If you'd like to play again or have any other questions, feel free to ask!"

I had initially been apprehensive about LLMs but decided to explore them very recently. The limitations exhibited in this exercise put my mind at ease somewhat. I have tested a heavily quantized version of the Qwen1.5 model using 14B weights and it performs slightly worse in the sense that it makes the same types of mistakes and even suggests real numbers when I have specifically told it multiple times that my number is an integer. I feel like at some point increasing the size of the training set, as well as the number and precision of weights in the model is likely to stop making these models perform better. When will these AI systems truly surpass human programmers in their capabilities? Are they poised for widespread adoption or just another overhyped technology? It seems like we're still navigating a balance between progress and understanding whether LLMs are true problem solvers or merely sophisticated search engines with limited reasoning ability.

Why does their code sucks so much? They presumably put the accent on "clarity", but every single variable is two-letters and there isn't a single comment.

For example, in dwm, there is the following prototype:
> void resize(Client *c, int x, int y, int w, int h, int interact);
Fair enough, it resizes a client (window) with the given geometry. But what the ***** does "interact" mean? I guess I'll have to look at the code
> applysizehints(c, &x, &y, &w, &h, interact)
Duh, did we already reache the problem of too many indirections? But well, at least we can go find where it's actually used:
> if (interact) {
> if (*x > sw)
> *x = sw - WIDTH(c);
> if (*y > sh)
> *y = sh - HEIGHT(c);
> if (*x + *w + 2 * c->bw < 0)
> *x = 0;
> if (*y + *h + 2 * c->bw < 0)
> *y = 0;
Nice, more two-letter variables! There are even global variables in the lot for free!
And once you've parsed all that, you'll figure out that this just makes sure that the window doesn't leave the drawing area, what's that got to do with size hints?
Moreover, interact serves to define whether to place the window anywhere on the X screen, or to limit it to one monitor. Where's the interaction?

It was a simple thing that shouldn't have taken more than 1h to code, but I ended up wasting the whole afternoon because of shit like that.
Oh, and the website sucks too. There is like a thousand published patches (without any ordering), but most of those are either redundant, obsolete or simply broken.

2. Each peripheral is labeled with the name of the specific device with something like a piece of masking tape with the device name written on it, and if you need to number devices you can. This makes it easy to keep track of what has been used with what.

3. SD cards used with a USB SD card adapter do not seem to present unique device serial numbers to the machine (at least not on gnome disks). But you do not use in device SD card readers, only USB ones.

This is an incomplete approach because even using it there is still one glaring problem of automatically OS generated hidden files being placed on media storage devices and then transferring information from one machine to another, this is particularly worrisome when using an OS like windows which has mystery hidden files on it that could be a record of serial numbers plugged into the machine historically backed up from some obscure permanent memory on the motherboard.

Even if you did something like set up a wireless data storage hub in your house, or an intermediary airgapped computer, every machine connecting to it could hypothetically collect the serial numbers from other devices through the USB, wifi, or ethernet connection, then transmit them through the internet later to correlate the two or more devices that connected to the hub.

One possible way to transfer files from one computer to another without any transmission of device serial number records is by putting them online as an encrypted i2P torrent or as encrypted folders on onionshare, but that introduces more complications since it is potentially surveilable.

As it is, a sophisticated system cracker probably extracts serial numbers from the OS device list from the outset, and possibly extracts them from the motherboard itself using backdoors like Computrace. This provides them the ability to correlate users across machines using serial numbers. In Windows, every USB device you ever plug in is stored in the registry I think. Linux has a similar function. So this is a real issue if you're trying to use a computer anonymously. Potentially just using the same mouse, keyboard, or USB drive as you used on another machine can almost definitively connect you to your anonymous computer.

There is disinformation pushed by Windows that changing the partition name is the same as changing the unique serial number.

https://www.magnetforensics.com/blog/identifying-unique-devices-and-systems-in-magnet-axiom-investigations/

Device serial numbers, combined with other data, make it really easy to build association maps for daisy chained attacks. If your devices are data mining this and transferring it to device manufacturers, OS developers, sending it unecrypted across ISP networks, then you can do things like identifying all the employees in an institution and target them all to find some vulnerability. Like, say you walk through a building with a laptop running windows and it captures all the mac addresses, then correlate those to the identity of everyone working there using data aggregation, now you can crack all their systems and circle around even secure facilities networks and blackmail the employees without ever setting foot in the country.

You can probably identify every single person that ever walked into a FBI office with their cell phone purely from the data being sold "legally" worldwide. Making subverting anything they do easy because you can literally just pay someone to bang on their door in the middle of the night and tell them not to investigate anymore. All the employees exposed and accessible.

many people think noscript is to disable javascript on a per website basis, whereas with about:config -> javascript.enabled only can apply to all sites or none
but noscript is, in fact, just one part of a fully functional schizoautist hobby horse software
it was started in the early 2000s after everyone realized you can just do XSS, CSRF, and more similar techniques and get admin on any website because the web is a platform designed by and for retards [bold: and was just some shit some fag pitched to his boss to maintain his pay for another week while they shit out the latest "innovation" of the month]
...anyway... back on subject
noscript is giant firewall that tries to detect XSS, CSRF, clickjacking, and stuff like that
its been shown in the past that this action itself introduces new XSS vectors into web pages that would have been secure[1] otherwise
noscript is poorly written because whoever wrote it is already by definition autistic for taking up such a pointless task
noscript bloats the browser and slows it down
noscript constantly gets in the way from false positives with incomprehensible dialogs, which grooms the user (including youre ignorant ass who doesnt even know what noscript is for) to just press okay when a real XSS attack does happen
tl;dr noscript is just another firewall software and should be ignored and does more harm than good. you should get a dedicated, smaller plugin if you just want to disable js on a per site basis


footnotes:
(1) nobody actually ever knows if any page is safe from XSS because the grammar changes behind their feet and the libs they use have also had the grammar changed under their feet.

I found this little gem, which lets you set up serial connections on Linux without the actual cable. I'm working on routing UU***** from Linux to VMS over serial ports. You can also login with Kermit, and great for projects that require a serial port.

Make sure you install the two patches in the "issues" section so it will build on modern kernels.

global variables are retarded. every single confused deputy attack is literally just because of global variables or some analog of them (like the filesystem, where any file can be thought of as a global variable)
instead, you should just pass whatever object, actor, channel, file, folder to the program explicitly and design your system from the ground up in that way
this is long old known wisdom from thinkers like mark s miller, called "capability-based security" (queue jd: "linux has those!", it doesnt, it just has the same name) and even in serial experiments lain they start talking about adjacent projects like xanadu

even for [bold:static] data, global variables are *****ing dumb
i dont need to #define MUH_REGISTER 0x1234 in one file and use it everywhere
if im auditing code, i wanna see that its writing to the correct register, and i dont want to learn how you came up with your own parallel system of register names which may or may not match or may have subtle divergences from the hardware's naming system. just write the *****ing number.

this is all to blame boomers who with their shaky hands (which were shaky from weed and other narcotics instead of senility in the 70s) could barely manage to cobble together how a non trivial program should work. "yeah, i know! an external file! we just include it, wow so smart". no, youre dumb. if i want to use a function or value you produced in haskell, i should just be able to copy and paste it from some link into my code editor (not text editor). i dont have to care about nonsense like where files are located and what names might conflict, you shouldnt even be able to choose what names i use on my side, rather maybe a suggestion at most.

Ninya needs your help creating intervals for his workout!
Let S be a set of natural numbers. Let L = |S|.
Given S and a natural number K, let N be the first natural number not reachable by adding together at most K elements of S (with repeats).
Given K and L, find the maximum achievable N and set(s) S that achieve it.
Ninya's solution is in Haskell (size=L, maxSteps=K). Mine is in Prolog.
Some results:
K=3, L=3 : N=16, S={1,4,5}
K=4, L=3 : N=27, S={1,5,8}
K=3, L=4 : N=25, S={1,4,7,8}
K=4, L=4 : N=45, S={1,3,11,18}
K=5, L=4 : N=72, S={1,5,12,28}
K=5, L=5 : N=127, S={1,4,9,31,51}
K=6, L=5 : N=217, S={1,7,12,43,52}
Can you find a solution for K=6, L=6?

languages without static types have this downside where you pass the wrong number of arguments, and the function is not documented, and it gives an error about the format of the string you were supposed to pass it
you might call f(123) and it outputs "error, invalid value for the *****" in reference to the second parameter that you didn't pass, and since there's no documentation you're not sure what they mean by the *****. is it the first parameter? is there a second parameter? third? was the first supposed to be an object that contains a *****?
this is unpleasant, at the very least

there are large classes of vulnerabilities that get WONTFIXd or INVALIDd that hackers routinely exploit because reality is in fact cold place unlike what some *****ybopper who writes made with <3 believes or some boomer who tinkers with ssh settings all day
classic example is admin of website being able to write stuff to the filesystem and escalate his privileges
also browser plugins (at least in the 2010s) would commonly add new RCEs that allowed the hacker to escalate to the privileges of the browser and can dump all his passwords and sessions, either through artifacts that users share such as ad block lists or themes, or by shit the plugin adds to the page, which enables the attacker to get browser privileges or just hack his account on that one modified website, depending on the plugin

obviously you can just work in software and ignore it for 2 years like me until you have enough money to start your own business or just become management, and this is what sane people do. however in both cases you still couldnt change anything since the tools, methodology, education, etc are broken, not that you would necessarily want to

retard1:
>i have a sophisticated firewall that filters attacks at the protocol level, it makes it impossible to hack my network
retard2:
>i dont have to have a well defined protocol i can just add whatever i need to it every day

explanation for retards:
when you add a new verb or whatever to your protocol, the firewall will not recognize it when an exploit is delivered through it.
even if the firewall was software that gets updated every day by a dedicated dev team, it would still - for example - have to consider parts of the protocol that arent clearly documented and vary from vendor to vendor to avoid false positives and false negatives in this new verb.

copout escape hatch:
>well not everything is perfect (fails to quantify how imperfect the firewall is)

Classical letterlocking is no more. The adversary: X-ray microtomography. We must assume a letterlocking method will be in place upon which an unintended recipient, unbeknownst as to the correct mechanism of unlocking, will cause such a letter to shred itself into reasonable illegibility. I do not know of any current methods that are carried out in this way, though I have read of there existence in the past (1300s - 1500s?) Supposedly the written portion of the letter was cut into downward-angled overlapping strips from the right and left edges (though with the margin still intact) in such a way that the torque imposed by opening the letter incorrectly caused the letter to shred itself. I do not know if assuming such a method is reasonable, but either way a tomography scan would render methods such as these useless when relied upon as the only form of protection. I believe this approach would require a paper thicker than paper that would be commonly used for printing or in offices; it would be too thin to self-destruct. Standard A4 paper size would be ideal as the more we consider implementing common tools and specifications the higher the likelihood may be of adoption. Deciding on a target for proper standard envelope size is also of the utmost importance, as we should try to appear as unassuming as possible. The C6 envelope size should do nicely: 162x114 mm (6.4x4.5 in, height x width), exactly 1/4 the size of a regular A4 piece of paper. This is the smallest size that closely complies with the USA's postal service minimum requirements (of which I know many people here originate), which are 3.5x5 inches. Let us assume that the postal service would not stiff us over the lacking half-inch when considering the width, as were the letter to be rotated 90°, we would comply with stated requirements.
I believe that the best method of counteracting advanced tomography would be to, instead of stamping a letter with a wax seal of previous eras, coat the area of paper on which writing has taken place with a wax composite of sorts. Preferably a wax that is easy to purchase and produce with common materials. I do not know what the advanced tomography machines are able to make out with different materials as of yet, so I don't know what materials would introduce noise into the reading or block it outright. I will have to research this area further. Of course both sides of the paper would need to be coated so a tomography process couldn't just scan through that back of the letter. If tomography machines were just recently able to virtually unfold letters composed of merely 300 year-old parchment in 2021, it seems we would have a fair amount of room for potential improvement. This leads me to my first difficulty. Should the courier carrying a sent letter be allowed to have the awareness of the use of wax coated onto it? I suppose the thickness of the wax coated onto the paper and the degree of separation between the color of the wax and the paper should also be taken into account. Maybe if the wax was painted onto a letter instead of coated more control over the thickness of wax could be retained. This may be more favorable still, as the letterlocking method I had read about would most likely require a layer of wax on the thinner side to be effective. Does it matter if an effective counteracting wax is completely clear? The difference in texture may be abundantly clear and raise undesirable suspicion from the courier. If the awareness of a wax coating is insignificant, that would be quite easy to produce once the process of letterlocking and the production of wax is streamlined; the whole of the outside of a letter could be coated as long as writing of the address is able to be made out. If we attempt to hide this feature, that may make the process much more difficult in that we would only have to coat/paint a portion of the letter so that the uncoated portion is able to conceal it in entirety. I do not know if this would be logistically feasible; it may just be easier to use a separate envelope as it would be equally unlikely to arise suspicion. Not using a separate envelope would give me much more satisfaction.
It appears I have much experimentation to work through. I may be back in a month's time.

British Post Office Scandal / Horizon Scandal
---------------------------------------------
UK post office management software miscalculated account balances and implicated post office branch managers (subpostermasters, or SPMs) as committing accounting fraud
over 900 SPMs were convicted of theft on false grounds (some could be real many not). company was sued by 2500 claimants successfully for £50 million which amounted to £20000 per claimant which often didn't cover the damage done to the claimant
one hundred convictions have been overturned and more are expected
In September 2023, the government announced that subpostmasters who have had their convictions on the basis of Horizon evidence overturned would be offered compensation of £600,000 in full and final settlement of their claim, though around 30 claimants already died before this could happen and that money is probably largely coming from tax

Arrow missile-defence system took out rocket fired from Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen outside of Earth’s atmosphere

Israel this week used its Arrow missile-defence system to shoot down a ballistic missile outside of Earth’s atmosphere, in what is believed to be the first combat ever to take place in space.

The ballistic missile was launched from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthis, and flew almost 1,000 miles over the Arabian peninsula on the way to its target, the Israeli port city of Eilat.

While the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has released few details about the interception, the Air Force is known to operate several batteries of the Arrow 2 system, which uses a hypersonic interceptor to take out incoming missiles in space.

The United States Department of the Interior warned that, while small scale in this instance, such action could eventually deplete the earth of important resources.

having an "error" type build into your programming language is retarded. this was known since the 80s (or just forever, but im not a historian)
it continues on in every latest trendy language because trend choosers are, by definition, midwits
midwit programmers have little morals like "it needs to crash immediately if theres an error" (part of the exception meme), and lint and unit tests
you should just type your function like getCount : () -> (Nope | Integer) if you want to encode something like an "error".
an "error" is not a concept in a programming language. it belongs in the runtime, defined by the user
they scold the hypothetical programmer (that, again, by definition, doesnt exist in any significant number) who does not follow their little morals, while the quality of software has been rapidly on the decline since 1995 regardless of the fact that 99% of the industry is following these little morals and even espouse them and act like spergs about them and theyre taught in school now.

------------------
Ho ho ho naughty *****s! SantaRAR is coming to town on XXXMas day!

We are a group of ***** security researchers that focused on collecting 0day and unpatched/unreleased exploits for pictures, video containers, and archive formats. We are disbanding our group for personal reasons, but we all agreed it would be best to release our findings and content to the community before moving on. We think you will all appreciate the upcoming dump!

Unlike most here who were trying to avoid coming across LEA agents, we actively sought them out. They are pretty easy to identity if you know what to look for. LEAs are a great source for unreleased exploits. They will send you booby-trapped videos, pictures, and archives in hopes you run it on a system where it will successfully deanonymize you. For example, if you are running Windows, using the TOR browser bundle, and a VPN...you are the perfect target for a LEA agent.

Every movie, picture, and archive we collected was treated as suspect. We were also sometimes sent EXE files and linux binaries, but those were dead giveaways. Through our research, we have identified undisclosed vulnerabilities in the RAR, PEA, 7z, and ZIP archive container formats. As of writing, some still remain usable even if you have updated to the latest version. Peazip does not detect them either. We will be releasing the full details for each archive format and code that can be used to detect booby-trapped files.

Word of advice: Stay away for PEA, RAR, and ZIP files. Stay away from any archive that does not require a password. Stay away from 7z files that do not use header encryption. There is a reason it is recommended for you you to disconnect from the internet before uncompressing candy. You’ll see why after we release our findings. Also if a trader is sending you a file that uses a weird or very old archive format, there is a good chance that archive is booby-trapped with an exploit of some kind. You have been warned!

{Naughty Naughty NVIDIA}
We have some bad news for folks viewing candy on computers with NVIDIA cards. If you are using Windows with the official driver, there is a candy detector. One of the traders we sent one of our exploits to was a NVIDIA employee. We think they might have gotten addicted to candy themselves while working on a certain project within the company. Candy is not the only thing this part of the driver is looking for either. Full details with the driver source code we were able to acquire will be released. ***** NVIDIA is all I have to say. We believe the hacker group Lapsus$ found the same thing we did if you read between the lines in some of their public comments.

{Operating System Research}
One of the things we suspected was that commercial operating systems probably had candy detectors in them. We did experiments with several versions of macOS and Windows with candy movies and pictures. The more recent the OS version, the more interesting the results whenever a candy movie or picture was copied to it and a thumbnail was generated. The short version is, if you are using Windows 10/11 or a recent version of macOS, and that copy can be tied to you personally, there is a good chance you are on a LEA list.

The quantity of candy also seemed to effect the OS behavior as well. We also believe that Windows 10/11 incorporates Microsoft’s Photo DNA project. We copied unique candy (never shared) to the latest builds of both, and got some VERY interesting results. Tails or Whonix + Qubes is going to be the best choice, but there are some things that can still deanonymize you on those platforms as well. Full details for all OS and versions tested and the observed behaviors will be released.

{Trading and Hoarding}
We have been trading unique and hoarded content since Rindexx was online and AiW was not a big pile of shit. Since we are disbanding the group, we have decided to share our entire collection with the community. There will be lots of crying and bitching. We do not care how much BTC or XMR was paid for certain things. We are releasing everything we’ve accumulated over the past few years.

Some studios will get a fresh round of content. A lot of unique private content will get some fresh eyes on it. A few studios most people have never heard of will get some exposure. And, because of some luck we had with one of our own video exploits, A LOT of vintage content will be publicly shared for the first time ever.

There is someone out there that we call Mr. Vintage. They have a ton of high quality 8mm/16mm transfers going as far back as the 60’s. They also have a lot of Betamax and VHS transfers. A good portion of the collection is from CCC in particular. If you like PIV and *****woman, this vintage stuff will deliver! Sorry Mr. Vintage that you are not very good at security, but you should have shared all these gems with the community a long time ago!

{Closing}
We are in the process of uploading nearly ~1.2TB of content to 1ficher and a few other file hosts. The links will be released in categories / batches. Prepare your hard drives. The hoarder cry babies and LEA agents will most likely get all links that are not 1ficher taken down after 1-2 days. 1ficher does not seem to give a *****. Community mirroring will be strongly recommended to combat the hoarders losing their shit. And if you are too dumb to figure out how to download from 1ficher, you are probably viewing candy on Windows lol.

Despite BitChute not blocking Tor and having magnet torrent links its clear that the site is another one used to draw in conservatives and "Free Speech" individuals to capture their data for analysis.
Rumble another honeypot has ties with Peter Theil which is know to collect vast ammounts of data on web via his Palantir.

This what they do is shill platforms and act like they are the enemy (insert ADL or SPLC site listing them as a Hate Speech Extremist Platform or article about their platforms by the media)
This is just like Elon Musk being the CEO of twitter claiming to make it better when infact he made it worse free speech wise and privacy wise since becoming the CEO.

At one point, people might have hailed this as a good thing since Google would no longer be enabling retards who can't install and configure a newsreader to post on Usenet. But at this point, any further reduction in the number of users is just going to speed their descent into ghost towns.

2 wiggers design 2 programming languages
PL A complains and doesnt compile if you write
if false {
f()
} else {
g()
}

PL B complains and doesnt compile if you write
type A { x int; y int }
A a;
a.z = 3;

which PL will wiggers (people who know nothing about PL design) complain about
are their complaints valid? are their lack of complainst valid?

*fixes your text editor*
https://www.dr-qubit.org/Evil_cursor_model.html

>The cursor in a text editor indicates the location where the next editing operation should act, both visually to the user and internally to the text editor. There are two conceptually different ways to model the cursor location. You can consider the cursor to be located in between two consecutive characters. Or you can consider it to be located on top of a particular character. Emacs, like almost every other text editor, uses the first model. If the cursor is at location 3, say, Emacs considers it to be between the 2nd and 3rd character in the text. Typing a character will insert it in between these two characters; deleting backwards will delete character 2; deleting forwards will delete character 3.

>Vim also uses this cursor model in insert mode. But in normal mode, it uses the other cursor model: if the cursor is at location 3, in normal mode Vim considers it to be located on top of the 3rd character in the text. There are therefore two insersion commands: i will start inserting text just before the 3rd character (i.e. in between characters 2 and 3); a will start inserting text just after the 3rd character (i.e. in between characters 3 and 4). Similarly, p pastes text before the character under the cursor, whereas P pastes it after that character.

>I think Vim got this one wrong. Having to keep two different cursor models in mind adds cognitive burden, for little gain.

>TL;DR: It's possible to replace evil-mode's cursor model with the cursor-between-characters model, with a modicum of Elisp. The code is collected here: evil-cursor-model.el.

>push notifications
what the actual ***** does this web tranny word mean? never heard it before 2020 or so.
>Push technology or server push is a style of Internet-based communication where the request for a given transaction is initiated by the publisher or central server. It is contrasted with pull, or get, where the request for the transmission of information is initiated by the receiver or client.[1]
what is "push technology"? does that require a new type of modem or switch?
what is the practice? do web servers connect to your browser now? do servers connect to phones to send them something?
what are "push notifications" used for?
>Generally, the web server does not terminate a connection after response data has been served to a client. The web server leaves the connection open so that if an event occurs (for example, a change in internal data which needs to be reported to one or multiple clients), it can be sent out immediately; otherwise, the event would have to be queued until the client's next request is received.
what is described here is just a small optimization, decreasing the latency gap between the polling interval and the time it takes to receive a data transfer initiated by the remote end
why would i ever have to care that something is using this? why would i make something "push"? to make a tiktok someone im following appear in my home screen in 100ms instead of 1s?

do you use an optical disk drive?

What is a good or a bad l0icense?

IMO GUI is only valid when something literally requires man pictures or when documentation is shit

how to secure nginx?

Instead of approaching the subject from the point of view of specific practices, I was thinking about breaking down the subject into vectors of OpSec. Approaching subjects from the abstract theory of it can clarify and simplify them.

The whole subject of OpSec is just so massive, ranging from hardening a browser to traveling internationally without obstacles, that I think breaking it down into vectors could be useful.

If there's a framework like that, then all the practices of OpSec (which change depending on environment and tech advances) can be fitted into the framework and might make it easier for people to process the subject and learn the practices that are applicable to the vectors they want to use securely.

Think it's worth the effort?

You guys know of any more?

Is it normal for a computer to emit RF when certain software events occur (saving a file in LibreOffice, minimising/maximising Firefox window etc)? Is it some kind of unintentional emission created by the electronics but perfectly normal, or have I been bugged? I have a shitty cheap RF detector I bought on aliexpress

why have webshitters in w3g or whatever not improved one single thing about the web since 1990 aside from adding a video tag which has never worked, not even for one minute

wh*te people.

A function that auto suggests commands using an internal command tree that shows a novice user the correct syntax and formatting for a command they want to do.

So for instance you type in "sudo", then you can us the up or down arrow key to scroll through all the possible known commands that follow "sudo" in that OS.

Example:

>"sudo" [command options tree]

>"sudo apt" [command options tree]

>"sudo apt get" [command options tree]

You can't just type anything you want into terminal and have it work. There are limited number of command combinations and orders and that means you can make this kind of auto suggest options tree to help new users use terminal without being autistic about the syntax of linux command in terminal.

There are already some autocomplete functions in linux terminal commands to simplify things. But there doesn't seem to be the kind of command tree I think would be useful.

This would also help people learn the full capabilities of terminal since all the known commands would be listed in the tech tree and people can then search to find out what that command does.

If you had some easy means to integrate these command trees for specific programs that you can give commands to through terminal, like as some specialized file included in the repo for the program, then that could make the program much more useable since you don't have to dig through the documentation to find all the functions and commands.

What's the best medium for long-term offsite storage for secret keys or password databases?

I need something small, preferably a USB or SD card to store secret keys offsite. What should I put them on? And how bad is bit rot if they're only accessed/updated perhaps once a year? I'm considering an encrypted SD card.

How the hell do I get into i2p if there aren't even any reseed servers alive?
