an inspiron 8000 started at $5,000 in 2000. it wasnt a gaming laptop or anything special, just a consumer laptop. And these are 2000 dollars, thats about $9500 today

$3500 today will buy you the flagship of custom brands like eurocom and sager. prices could quadruple, and i wouldnt care, the market is so saturated that mfgs are creating fake crisis, they cant make a buck off of budget equipment because the budget market is dominated by used shit. you really dont know how good you have it right now

Something like this is actually possible.

Hoard all your old computers and laptops. Even stuff like a Core Duo from 2006 is worth holding on to. Even a shitty AMD E2-1800 is worth keeping.

They're shit old computers, but at least they work, and at least they're open enough that you can install Linux or bsd and do some real computing with them.
In the future where you're only allowed some shitty locked down smartphone or ipad or thin client piece of shit, these old computers will be your only chance to be the owner of your own computing destiny.

Is there an experiment like this:
https://gist.github.com/Artefact2/b5f810600771265fc1e39442288e8ec9
But done for larger models? (Ideally one for 20-30B range, and another for 100+)

NTA but Grok definitely does nsfw, it just seems sporadic & varies depending on the day. It feels like the devs are constantly going back & forth between wanting to be the one AI platform that openly encourages gooning, and not wanting to get sued into oblivion.

There's a thing going on on twitter the last few days of women complaining that guys are using Grok to make pictures of them in bikinis, so I wouldn't be suprised if it gets lobotomized again soon.

is there a way in KDE / plasma to make windows remain centered properly when their dimensions change, ie when scrolling through images? currently it uses the top-left of the window as the basis for the position which results in the window resizing partially offscreen when it loads a larger image.
yes i've tried setting a window rule default position for qimgv to the top left, which does mitigate the problem, but i want the window to remain centered on my screen. also related, is there a way to make the mouse scroll only the active window and not the hovered one? i find that behavior extremely annyoing.

Is this a problem with 4chanX or what? I keep getting this "no valid captcha" bullshit if I try to submit posts when it says "no verification required" (as it was normal before the new captcha change), niggas really can't stop making the site worse

>PVH qubes don't use QEMU. Also KVM is not used in QubesOS at all. QEMU is used for stub device domains for HVM qubes or sys-usb / sys-network / other pci device qubes (which are all HVM
I see, I didn't know/remember that (I haven't used Qubes in about a decade).
still, you have multiple points where your data passes through. doesn't mean you can easily obtain data or compromise everything, but the attack area is not small.

>that's up to you as a user to compartmentalize your system according to your threat model
sure, but the Qubes team could do a lot more, like ship hardened VMs or ways to automate the hardening mitigation measures on install.
that's one of the main criticisms against Qubes. isolation on itself does little, and does even less when you don't harden shit...

>the only connection is Xen backend drivers and yes they're included in the TCB.
notifications and command messaging are also communications. do you think there can't be vulns there?

>I don't know what that even is. I think you're just making shit up.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>107743163
Using Qubes without taking advantage of its compartmentalization feature is just retarded. Qubes have passwordless sudo and are relatively unhardened by default compared to a standard Linux installation, so doing everything in one Qube can actually be worse than just using typical Linux from a security standpoint. If you're not compartmentalizing, then you're doing Qubes wrong. At the very least, you should keep your passwords stored in an offline vault instead of keeping them in an AppVM which connects to the internet.

>>107743850
>still, you have multiple points where your data passes through.
no such major points where a data passes like you're thinking of (QEMU process on top of Xen etc.). Default qubes are PVH, which is paravirtualized mode with CPU virtualization extensions. The guest kernel natively runs on top of the Xen with paravirtualized interfaces. No QEMU process or such thing. There's stub domains with QEMU processes for HVM qubes but those are also VMs as well (except less secure since those are PV instead of PVH). I do not recommend running HVM qubes out of the neccessary sys-net / sys-usb and others.

If you mean sys-net -> sys-firewall -> ** -> app-vm network chain, the data is passed through xen netback/netfront. that's one thing that needs to be scrutinized (other than the Xen internal thingies). Proxy chains do not decrease the security. The attack surface is smaller than most other setups.

>sure, but the Qubes team could do a lot more, like ship hardened VMs or ways to automate the hardening mitigation measures on install.
Qubes' threat model assumes the guest OS is compromised. The trust boundry is between the VMs, not inside the VM. But it doesn't stop you from using hardened guests. In fact, the downloadable templates include Kicksecure which is same as Whonix but for desktop usage.

to ship with Kicksecure by default instead of one of the most used Linux distros (Debian, Fedora) makes very little sense because guest OS's security is not the project's main goal. They do not guarantee it. This is how an actual threat modeling is done, instead of throwing random things at the kitchen sink.

>isolation on itself does little
that's the whole point of the project. if you're not going to benefit from compartmentalization or deliberately avoid it then there's no reason to install Qubes OS to begin with.

>>107744793
cont.

>notifications and command messaging are also communications. do you think there can't be vulns there?
actually... yes. I completely forgot about event channels, xenstore and grant tables since I haven't been using vanilla xen for quite some time too. They are the one of the most dense in amount of vulnerabilities. as I said here >>107742330 Xen isn't the pinnacle of type-1 hypervisor design. But it's still a hypervisor after all and its vulnerabilities are only compared to other hypervisors. see https://github.com/hardenedlinux/grsecurity-101-tutorials/blob/master/virt_security.md#avoid-xen-if-you-can

>Qubes gives you root by default, so it's not like an attacker needs that shit to steal data, but even if you modified the VMs to ask for root, an attacker could compromise your browser.
again that's not a part of the Qubes' threat model. An attacker inside an untrusted VM has no access to your browser. You're not supposed to do sketchy things inside your trusted VMs, like opening a random PDF file. Qubes actually has default dropdown entries for opening files in file-manager inside a disposable VM. It even has a document sanitizer which literally takes photos of the documents by opening them in a disposable VM and sending the pixel data over a channel to be reconstructed into a document again.

>it's ok to think you are protected by isolation. keep thinking Qubes will save you from getting pwned
What even is the argument here aside from the things I already answered? Why would isolation not work?

>>107743986
>Qubes have passwordless sudo and are relatively unhardened by default compared to a standard Linux installation, so doing everything in one Qube can actually be worse than just using typical Linux from a security standpoint
that might be correct if you're using just one qube with paswordless root.
>If you're not compartmentalizing, then you're doing Qubes wrong.
it's not a matter of right or wrong. you claimed it offered no extra value, which I disagreed with explanation.
