What's /g/'s opinion on Mental Outlaw? I've been a fan of his for a long long time, he's the one that made me privacy conscious and made me switch to Linux. I remember once reading in one of his comment sections that he was "bullied off /g/" by some guy, is this true? Also, if you're seeing this thread Kenny, hi!
>>107670858He has no idea what he's talking about.

>>107687859This is what happens to every channel once they get over 100,000k subs. They become a "company" a "brand." I get my tech content from sub 20k channels. At that level they're not bought and paid for yet.
>>107691515No one does. They can't. The software/OS world is fucked. Nothing works, nothing is reliable, everything is broken trash. This is because>Companies hire the D student programmers/engineers who are grossly incompetent, to save money >Companies hire quality and qualified developers/engineers who then have their hands tied by boomer executives who can't use their outlook without calling IT for help.Either way, modern tech is dogshit. Sometimes on purpose (planned obsolescence) or by sheer incompetence.I can walk you through how to install X, Y, and Z on your computer where I have zero problems, but you try it and run into a 1000 problems and brick your shitty system. Thus, no one can know what they're talking about.

Is Tails compromised?
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?
>>107690819GLOW
>>107690819>I'll start rebase at the last point PGP keys were on the sitewhat do you mean? what do they use if not PGP? SSH keys?
>>107690665>but never explain how or why.>>107690686Basically, that.Never lose sight of the fact it started as a US Navy SigInt project to provision plausible deniability. Giving someone else that sort of weapon isn't the sort of thing navies tend to like doing.Companies like Akamai Technologies operate a large percentage of the high speed nodes, giving them a unique insight complimented by a global sniffer network attached to backbones everywhere but north korea, and now china. Those telecoms backdoors being used for/by 'SaltTyphoon'? They're intended for Akamai.>>107691115>SSH keys?By which you mean x.509? PKCS-11?
Probably not

Will 2026 finally be the year of the RISC desktop?
>>10768894168k, Z80, PDP-11, VAX, S/370, and all the other processors people actually used were CISC too. The CISC philosophy makes more sense because the idea is that complicated parts should be done by the hardware, which makes software simpler and run faster. Look at some of the instructions z/Architecture (modern version of S/360 mainframes) has. IBM put those instructions in there because it's faster than doing it in software. Even a lot of RISCs have memory move instructions now, when in the 80s and 90s those would automatically make a processor CISC.
>>107692093Turns out the totality of US academia is really fucking sketchy, because they keep patenting anything they think is worth money while still selling it as free / open source and soliciting more grants.
>>107692457All those companies took fuckloads of government money too. The simple reality is whatever technical merit one arrangement had over another is totally overridden by government and banks picking winners and losers via access to capital. Appealing to the top level market is pointless because it's a completely different kind of market than it claims to be.In situations where people are allowed to choose what they want, RISC has a way of showing up a lot. Loongarch and RISC-V for instance.
>>107693179>The simple reality is whatever technical merit one arrangement had over another is totally overridden by government and banks picking winners and losers via access to capital.RISC has no technical merit. Intel tried killing x86 with RISC multiple times, with i860 and i960, and Itanium which follows the RISC philosophy, and IBM tried replacing the mainframe architecture with RISC multiple times too, first with the 801, then with POWER. All of that failed because the RISCs were technically inferior.>In situations where people are allowed to choose what they want, RISC has a way of showing up a lot. Loongarch and RISC-V for instance.Because RISC allows incompetent people to design computers. They don't have to do all the work that is required by traditional computer designs. For example, they don't have to support unaligned memory access or have multiplication or division instructions.

Installed this bad boy today locally on my laptop (i dont care about network wide adblocking), it's better than simply putting the public servers on control panel because i have this dashboard where i can view statistics and easily block sites with a toggle switch.>inb4 ublock is betterIt is better in some cases, but i dont like to use browser extensions.>inb4 shillim not, it's just comfy, anons

>>107691839Sorry if this is a retarded question, but can I use it to block non-browser ads on a phone? I don't mean just on local Wifi, but when using mobile data away from home as well. And can that be done with whatever free version they're offering? I don't know much about adblocking beyond using uBO, but afaik there's no way to make the browser extension cover other apps with built-in ads, which is where I think this would really show its usefulness.

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?

Does anyone know of a way of transcoding mp4 to an APNG without writing the cICP chunk to it?It's the default behavior of ffmpeg <6.0, but everything afterwards seems to always write this chunk, and that confuses some websites.Conversely, if there's no built-in way of skipping and/or removing it using ffmpeg, are there any third-party tools that can remove it from the end file?exiftool can't overwrite CICodePoints because that's a read-only tag it seems.AI suggests manually setting>-color_primaries>-color_trc>-colorspace>-color_rangeto "unknown", to the equivalent of sRGB and to all the other things, but while ffmpeg doesn't error out when those flags are provided, they never have any effect on the resulting file.

>>107692341sounds like you are the one coping also tell me why an American media would do such ranking
>>107692375True. The Burgers in this thread should take a pause and consider:Even though it has absolutely no concrete military might to speak of, the Netherlands is basically the ONLY country in the world which can tell the US "no" and have that result in the US reconsidering, to only then come crawling back with "ok, but what if we sweeten the pot?"Threats don't work on the Netherlands, because they're perfectly aware of the key position they're in, holding export control over ASML, as well as holding control over the Rotterdam port - which is basically *THE* entrypoint to mainland Europe bar none for consumer good and heavy industry imports, as well as one of the few places in the world offering oil refining services that can directly service US-bound super-tankers.Basically, if the US manages to piss off the Netherlands to a degree that they're going to cut ties, that will instantly mean no more chip fab exports (incl. servicing of existing equipment) to the US, and no more oil refining. It would KILL THE US ECONOMY DEAD.
