Assuming that tough times are ahead, what is the best way to insure I have the internet no matter what?
>>107614575>saarlinkSorry, couldn't resist
>>107611186>what is the best way to insure I have the internet no matter what?You can't. Shit can go down so fast not even Bulgaria will have its fastest Internet in Europe.But if someone has Wi-Fi, you can sniff packets and whatnot. AFAIK, it's called monitor mode and there's a list of chips capable of it.But seriously, do invest in an offline database. Personal NAS, M-Disks, hell, even printed stuff is better than no stuff at all.
>>107614575You can get starlink "standby" service for $5 a month.10x-20x faster than dailup!
>>107611186'net will be the first thing to go out when SHTF, you should horde any kind of data you find useful. Also look up mesh network, the more people use it the better
>>107611186I remember this Brazilian mutt who became obsessed with this thing.
So I decided to protect my Linux system with Secure Boot. I've generated own certificates, didn't add Microsoft keys because I thought I don't need them since I'm using Linux in a single boot configuration. I signed bootloader, kernel image, enrolled keys and everything went smooth so far. After a while I decided to try loading Arch Linux live image, and surprisingly it loaded, only in BIOS mode. I figured out that it's some compatibility option that allows legacy boot records to load on modern systems. "Well, it's better to turn it off to enhance security" I thought. And this is when shit hit the fan. After disabling CSM I couldn't boot into UEFI firmware yet my Linux system was booting just fine. What the fuck? TURNS OUT things such firmware and UEFI GPU drivers have to be signed by secure-boot accepted keys AS WELL, and this GPU ROM is only signed by Microsoft key.So, if I don't want to dump my GPU ROM, evaluate it hash and write it to db and do such retarded nonsense every time I upgrade my GPU I have to add Microsoft key, literally allowing any Microsoft distribution to run on my machine. Furthermore, no GPU developer can write a ROM without asking for Microsoft permission, even if they never intended to make drivers for Windows.Why didn't any antimonopoly service such as FTC fucked them over? It's basically a definition of monopolistic behavior.
is GPU firmware a different thing from ROM?
>>107614339
>>107614339Remember the political shitstorm after Crowdstrike left businesses up shit-creak for a day?Remember the outrage over Windows 11 disqualifying hardware that was still perfectly fine because of muh-TPM?Imagine what will happen if one innocent morning in 2026 millions of consumers and small businesses are pushed a Windows Update that has the new keys in the bootloader, where they fall victim to Microsoft's shit-code arbitrarily failing to enroll those keys in the mobo; and subsequently their machines refusing to start.Remember - disabling Secureboot isn't an option; Windows 11 requires it enabled. Won't start without it.But you can't enable it, because the UEFI doesn't acknowledge the key the bootloader is signed with.And you cannot receive any automated patches onto your Windows system to fix it - because Windows WILL NOT BOOT.
>>107614521YesGPU firmware is located in linux-firmware packages and loaded later on boot into GPU itself so kernel driver can interact with GPUGPU ROM or GPU UEFI drivers are loaded with the firmware and used to display things like UEFI BIOS user interface, boot splash etc. Without loading GPU ROM you basically can't interact with BIOS at all!
>>107614613you dont need windows or any os whatsoever for automated patch thanks to vPro/AMT or whatever that's called but I assume there's not many businesses using those enterprise grade pcs, at least in the outside of the west. Also I didnt understand where you were saying you need Windows to boot up to change secure boot/UEFI settings
What would it take to manufacture CRTs on a commercial scale again in 2026 and the years to come?Would it be more viable to buy existing IP/patent rights from the companies that used to be the leaders back in the day, or to re-develop the technology from scratch using modern means?
>>107614020> finicky pieces of shit that would stop working if they were hit with a stiff breezeAbsolute blasphemous nonsense. CRTs are incredibly resilient and can take a serious beating. Show me a single flat lcd monitor that can take a full power punch.
>>107614020>You don't see CRTs being made anymore not because nobody liked CRTs, they quit being made because they are fragile, finicky pieces of shit that would stop working if they were hit with a stiff breeze.desu, the fragility plays a part in it. I've seen people use the arguments about washing machines, cookers, stoves, fridges etc being produced overseas. That it's not logistics chains that are stopping CRT from coming back, but those devices really are a lot less fragile, and the trend has been that you sell loss leaders that are a piece of shit because if price kept up with quality; then logistical costs would be skewed. There's more to that on that those appliances are sold on the basis that they're modern conveniences and it's what allows wages to be so low, globally.However with TV's and fragility, that logistical chain and effort disintegrated because there could be a cheaper, lighter, smaller alternative. Don't really compete 1:1, but logistically, you're looking at somewhere between 6-10x more units that you can ship, and they're easier to pack too. Still fragile but nowhere near as much packing required.If you've got people who buy $200 and $300 flat screens, you cannot compete with that on a CRT. Even for high end displays, it's less of a pain in the ass.I love CRTs but whether it's under capitalism or environmentalism. The logistics of shipping for a display are the killer, companies want to make profit, they're bound to it. It's not the same as shipping flat pack furniture, beds or an oven. That furniture, those appliances, need to be the size they are. Those delivery costs at the end point scale too compared to the amazon piss bottle wagie delivering a 65" to your door.A display or TV, for someone whether they're poor or whether they're just a normalfag who likes minimalist space and large screens, they're not going to pay 6-10x the price.
Hatred of crt's is a reliable indicator of non-white ancestry.

K1rakishou woke up from his deep slumber and fixed the captcha today after a 15 month coma.Only fixed in the KurobaEx beta builds, no updated real release yet.v1.3.35.5-betaIt's nice to have a working captcha again but some of the UI changes in this beta build are a bit weird.

DE, distro, filesystem.what gets you the most reliable daily driver that never breaks no matter what day, time or hora of the year? even if it has been on 24 horas straight.
>>107614426also on arch i don't use any meme hipster filesystems like zfs or btrfs, it's just ext4 inside of luks
>>107614426windows and macos probably could hold up much longer than the linux if you can disable the automatics updoots, because you can still install and update 3rd party software (outside of appimages and such) on it without restart unlike loonix where you must updoot all at once to install sometime and it eventually can't do some things due to kernel update
>>107614443i don't know about mint, i use mxbeen using the same install for cca five years now, literally never had a single problem even for a second and it works as well as it did the first dayin fact it's so good i skipped 2 major versions and just can't be bothered to upgrade from 21

Dumb people are going to be dumb.I have an acquaintance who I've gotten into two AI arguments with. She's a firm anti AI person, despite never having used it. She tried to tell me how AI works, even though I've literally made machine learning programs before, and also tried to tell me that it's "SLAVE LABOR!" But in the same breath she also says "AI is just a word guesser."I kept trying to calmly explain to her how AI actually works, but she called me a "techno machine God worshipper". I left after that.Dumb people are going to be dumb.It's really too bad everyone has an equal voice on the internet. It gives these dumbasses way too much weight.

So what's the deal with everyone hating on Rust? The usual points people bring up are: >wokism >tranny language >made by jews >it's a cult Disregarding the aforementioned points, can you tell me actual reasons for why a safe(r) programming language like Rust shouldn't be adopted more widely?

>>107602516It's overkill for many applications. A lot of desktop software in particular is written in C/C++ for historical reasons and not because it actually needs C/C++/Rust levels of performance. You could take a 2x time and memory hit for a GC'd language and nobody would even notice. It would still be running circles around all the electron shit people are writing these days.

>>107613932Yeah Microsoft's tools are really silly with that, sometimes I've added a single innocuous word somewhere and it gets hard blocked. Would be nice if we could see how the chat tool rewrites your prompts before sending it forward, at least that's how it works as far as I understand. Like some chatbot takes your prompt, rewrites it in its own way and then the image generator takes the chatbot's prompt to make something
>>107613356I prefer it over the alternatives as it's the only (free) one that gives actual PNG outputs now... flowith, like felo, is giving me renamed (subsampled) JPEGs at pointless 100 quality.It's doing it a lot now anyway, so I was almost thinking that the issue was the usage of artist names or something similar... but an old (solo) prompt worked just fine. It's really the woman being close to woman thing even in a very vanilla, non-sexual, way...
