What happened to this forgotten technology? You could see guys like this in every mall
It definitely turned into a cringe thing to wear pretty quickly. There was a stereotype about it. I'm surprised you'd ask about this but also forget that.

Should use vidlii it's like old YouTube just needs more people using it. I'm probs gonna make an account on it and odysee I'll probs upload to YouTube as well but link then in.
>>107838364But if you go in fresh it doesn't assault you with garbage. And even after use it will still (mostly) pull from a recommendation algorithm that it thinks will keep you watching. If you don't click on crap it's a lot less likely to show you crap. Though how long that lasts is another question.
>>107838231>>107838307When did this algorithm shit take over, anyway? I've only ever used the subscriptions feed on youtube, and last time I had a twitter account (10+ years ago) it was common sense to just find people to follow and use the feed that actually shows every single one of their tweets sans replies.But now apparently people use the slop feed (in both) that SOMETIMES shows shit from people you're subscribed to if it finds it worth showing to you specifically. How did it get to this point?
people are starting to forget that Windows actually was good a long time ago, it has been 13 long years
>>107838139it's the same kernel, bye bye
>>107820326>13 years since Windows was goodLook, I like 98 as much as the next guy but you have to admit that XP is simply better.
>>107820326For it's time. Good for it's time. Wouldn't be good now days though.
>>107825501strawmanthe kernel isn't what's wrong with 11, and the system isn't just the kernel
>>107821060As someone who started with Win 95, 7 was easily the best of the series. My personal soulful favorite was ME toughever.
I have two external drives, one 20tb seagate HDD and one 2tb SDD that was scavenged from a laptop and put in housing. I want to preserve their data best I can. What is the easiest way to scrub the data to prevent bitrot/the data loss SSD is known for? Is there an application that makes it easy, or do I just have to do it with powershell?
Powershell or shell scripting is probably the easiest to maintain parity between 2 sets of data. But the crux of the problem is your source of truth is 1 drive. While magnetic media doesn't bitrot to the degree solid state does, it you want a minimum of protection from it you will need 4 drives.If you have 1 drive, you loose2 drives you can mirror, but you don't have a source of truth cause one drive can fail.3 drives you will have a source of truth as long as all 3 keep working, when 1 fails though you can introduce bitrot while rebuilding. 4 drives will give you 100% protection assuming no more than 1 drive fails at a time, and more than 2 drives don't fail at the same time(that would cause array failure).On top of that you need to run a copy on write file system, ZFS or BTRFS ideally in raidz2. Last item to look into on your file storage system would be error correcting RAM. This will protect data in transit.

>>107835973No, the way swap files work the kernel pretty much requires a contiguous region to read/write from. It treats it exactly the same as it'd treat a partition. In ancient versions of Linux things worked differently but that hasn't been true for a very long time so anyone repeating that myth is mistaken.

Why is /g/ so one-shotted by the 100% fallacy that they can't see the usefulness of AI?Because it's not 100% perfect, AI is completely useless.Are you all just so terrified of AI taking your jobs that you're stuck in a state of delusion, wishful thinking, and desperation?
>>107837095as for diffusion models, i generally see them as worthless, they often have the uncanny valley effect or something akin to that and as such is seen as soulless, there's also copyright issues (which involve every creative aspect and even coding as code is often of a particular license i.e. gpl) and artist protests which are their own cans of worms.
>>107837095>>107837159which brings me back to the first argument of people misusing ai to do things for them, generally speaking vibe'd things are known to be generally of lower quality than hand made things, like, as i've mentioned earlier, code and art, as well as other things such as essays and other forms of writing.

I have a wav file given to me by a cousin some time before 2000. I do not remember where the wave file is from. A movie or TV show or what.I cannot ask my cousin because he committed suicide several years ago.It's about 3 sentences long with a cartoony spaceship sound effect in the background.the voice is somewhat cartoony sounding.googleing any quote from the file turns up only me.So I decide to give AI a go at it.upload the file to gemini cuz whatever.ask it to identify the source.With absolute certainty and confidence it tells me it's from a game called Destiny.Awesome great.Comment too long.

I'm trying to recover data from a Windows 98 PC, and I would like to back up the hard drive (which appears to be failing). I can still read data intermittently, and it sounds like it keeps doing repetitive seeking before it gives me data read errors and general drive read failures. The computer doesn't even detect the drive half the time, and it won't boot from that drive at all.I would like to try and boot from a Linux recovery distro and see what I can do, namely clone the failing drive before doing anything else, but the optical drive doesn't appear to be plug-and-play (I can't boot off of it because the optical drive only works after drivers are already loaded), and I couldn't get a USB stick to work, so it seems like the only option left is to boot from a 1.44MB floppy disk and get the computer to clone the hard drive itself. I've added another drive, and that one works flawlessly, so it seems only the master drive is bad.It's actually harder to get a straight answer on which linux distros you can boot from a floppy disk than I would've thought. It doesn't even matter if it has to be an old version, people are saying the wrong version number is capable of doing so (like with RIPLinuX, so I don't know which ridiculous version to use), and I'd prefer one centered on data recovery anyway.It's a "Proteva Pro Series" PC, I guess. (Not pictured.) It doesn't sound very distinct, but apparently they thought it was distinct enough to brand it that way.
>>107838501>Bit much of a luddite wouldn't you say?Nah.>You must be a dinosaur if you want to play Rollercoaster Tycoon to recreate the good ol' days, uncI, uh... Yes.
>>107838452you could boot into an ms-dos environment too using a boot disk then use clonezilla by launching it from a disc if there is a setup script that will execute from that shell provided by booting from floppy. since the computer doesn't boot from CD, there's things like IDE to USB converters which can be used to plug the win98 drive into the other computer.
>>107838240Floppy? https://github.com/w84death/floppinuxMost likely you're just best off removing the drive and using ddrescue or sth on a modern computer.
>>107838276>ddrescueThis is the correct response. You need to use ddrescue to clone this drive as fully as possible to new media. Only then can you start thinking about repairing the filesystem or using something like testdisk to scan for known filetypes. I've used ddrescue multiple times to pull data from storage that was failing. So many other tools assume your storage is healthy & will crash the moment your SATA/USB/etc link drops out. ddrescue just picks up from the log file & keeps copying.
>>107838366You keep grinding at a failing drive you're going to kill it for good.Get the IDE-USB adapter OR find a computer that has IDE + SATA or whatever OR try installing an OS to another drive on that 1999 computer.Meanwhile chill (the drive, as in put it in a ziploc bag in the freezer) until you're ready to do the data rescue, sometimes that works on drives from that era.

>>107836442Once you have it all, you have nothing, back when I was a kid I used to be obsessed with computers and upgrading from one shitty GPU to another shitty GPU felt massive and adding more ram unlocked new possibilities, now that I have a pretty beefy PC, I don't feel like upgrading because it runs everything I want, I literally don't care about new hardware because it doesn't offer me anything, modern games are all shitty slop not worth playing, modern windows is a bloated clusterfuck made by jeets and modern hardware is a joke, an expensive joke thanks to AI, crypto and manchildren
