>>107690537It's nice for movies too.
>>107690556I don't like gaming headphones though, they're the worst of both worlds. They have both shit mics, shit audio and are unilaterally built like shit and I don't really play any games that benefit from high base anyway.

It's escalating hard. We WILL win this fight.
>>107688396The 'man behind the curtain' in A.I. is always a billionaire who just doesn't want to pay wagies anymore.All other disruptive technologies have brought some common good forth, and A.I. is an outlier in that regard. Nobody wants it, it improves on nothing already being made, and is being completely jammed down on the huddled masses for the sole pursuit of greater profits. I think it's a winnable fight because the benefit is so narrowly limited, but we shall see in the years ahead.

>>107690083It all depends what the faulty hardware is doing. Firing spurious IRQs, DMAing to the wrong place, or talking over another device on the bus (pre PCIe of course since that's point to point) are almost certain to cause a crash. Simply going into unexpected states can confuse the driver, which may trigger a panic because hardware is not behaving as it should.SATA disconnecting is specifically handled by Linux, as part of SATA hot plug. Even if the board or port don't support hot plug, it will support hot unplug. It just might not recognize it without a reboot if it connects again.You should really want a RAM stick dying to cause a panic, not a reboot. A panic might give some clue why it crashed, a hard reboot usually leaves no traces, but of course the lower RAM count isn't hard to notice. Though if the panic handler tries to write to the dead stick, it'll cause an exception inside the final exception handler, and on x86 that triggers a reset.
>>107690298
>>107690316>You should really want a RAM stick dying to cause a panic, not a reboot.maybei remember it was a reboot but i might be wrongi remember i couldnt find my last session in dmesg logs so maybe thats why i assumed?it could also be that the stick died before ive turned my PC on and then after ive loaded with only 4 Gb of RAM OOM killer just fucking wasted everything on sight or something but that would be a very weird thing to happen
>>107690366It most likely just triggered faults inside of interrupt handlers repeatedly until the CPU reset.
XP looked and felt like it was made for grandmas.Interesting to read ITT that there was criticism for it way back, because I only ever read people creaming over how good it was.Gods, so many things were ugly before like 2006 (winamp, web forums, consumer electronics).
How do we stop AI slop from increasing the price of RAM?
It's bizarre that Americans are okay with footing the bill for this buildout that's mostly going to be used by a bunch of bored thirdies to flood the internet with slop.

>>107689340The thing on top knocked over is a pi 4 with a PoE hat. I want each of the Lenovos to have a few pi 4s to mess around with SLURM - so ideally I'd start with 2 thinkcentres with 2 pi4s each and do kind of a 2-tier distributed or parallel-distributed thing going on.My issue is probably that I haven't set up a DHCP server on one and am retarded but I'm also running into the issue that I'm not using a wired internet connection - I'm going off my parent's wifi.Basically I'm retarded but where there is a will there is a way.
>>107689484Set a static ip on all of the ports make it 10.0.0.0, or 192.168.1.0. Whichever one your main network isn't. They should be able to communicate if you set them up on the same network like that. I've only done it with two computers, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with more computers and a switch.

Is Tails compromised?
>>107690513No it’s not you schizo retard
>>107690574Literally just ignore them. These retards always claim TOR is compromised, but never explain how or why.
>>107690665nta but it's pretty simple to compromise a network if you are the network
>>107690214Schizo talk but the moment I saw the corpo jew artstyle they use on their main page years ago I just knew it was a CIA honeypot
Devs by own admission dont know how to use pgp anymore. They also go against the grain of the Tor Project and include ublock origin in TBB when that is stupidly fucking retardedIt isn't compromised in the sense its ran by feds, its compromised in the sense its ran by morons who unironically have no background or experience or respect for what tails is supposed to be or who the target audiance is fof a real, secure, system, they even go out of their way to make fun of the so called "privacy enthusiast", while trying at the same time trying to cite that the main usage of Tor is by domestic violence victims, like some 20 year old woman is going to boot up tails to avoid the network stalking on her boyfriend's wifi network. Just asininely insane stupid motherfuckers. The document on their wiki is called personas. It's stupid. The privacy enthusiast autist is the one who has no life but yet has the time to devot to making the product good, don't alienate him/her, and further, dont alienate anyone from Tor.I second the suggestion to use whonix, also of note is QubesOS, as well as Knoppix, perhaps also you might find a virtual machine to fit your threat model. I might start a fork of tails, but nobody wants to trust the new guy. But honestly this might have just pissed me off enough. I'll start rebase at the last point PGP keys were on the site, cherry pick up to master, remove ublock origin, match TBB to stock tor browser exactly by default, with heavy encouragment to set javascript.enabled to false, maybe add toggle to disable WASM, maybe add option to disable SVG, harden the network stack, ship a hardened genkernel. Does /g/ like this idea?
Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release. The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.What do we do afterwards?

What is the /g/ consensus on password managers? How much safer are they to use than using a handful of "smart" passwords for everything?
>>107690654Also, even from a pure usability viewpoint. Literally no one is able to remember where they stored the randomly named file for services they use twice a year. My password manager has almost 300 entries, most of which I use maybe a couple of times a year.
tl;dr: if it's local and not synced to Da Cloud™ you are probably fine. Using a well-generated password every time is always good opsec, even if you are storing the passwords in some storage scheme that could be cracked.Also learn to use a tool like age or gnupg because then you can store sensitive stuff more complex than passwords.
>>107690317>of "smart" passwords for everything?Yeah see >>107690468 your giga-ultra-secure password doesn't matter when half of websites store passwords in plaintext because they were s lapped together in an afternoon or vibe-coded. As such, multiple unique strong passwords stored offline and encrypted at rest is ideal.
>>107690654Using a password manager will not save you if computer is compromisedIt centralized all the data in a here:thing type way, if PC owned = fuckedGoal is to be "what a clusterfuck, fuck this" for anyone who does get into the systemThere is no better solution to passwords than either doing what i said or doing diceware and keeping it on pen and paper. For crypto specifically, I recommend a trezor that stays disconnectsd from any networked computer.
Option 1:>write down the passwords (safe against digital attacks)>leave a part of the password away (if your passwords get stolen, you have time to change them)Option 2:>Use Keepass (locally stored password manager, allowing you to make very diverse passwords)>use a keyfile in addition to your password (so it's harder to steal by keyloggers)
why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks
>>107640288Yeah, unfortunately, they brigade against you if you aren't on their teams, that's why all of the "updoots" sites are a cesspit, they tag team in ways totally against our culture.
