>>107731390>guidezo is leavingHow will I know now what pos to buy
editor herefirst of all, happy new year to all of you, heres to another year of iemgsecond, i have migrated the gazette to another host to keep the links consistent with the eq guidethird, and most importantly, i am now either in charge of (gazette and shopping guide) or actively involved in (eq guide) all three resources in the op. the gazette itself is by far the one that takes the most amount of work, but the shopping guide i am not sure how to go about it. the previous shopping guide anon did a good job of covering the whole market without a lot of bias, but i do not participate in the audio world much. i am considering options to either bring in willing anons, or have a system to vote and suggest changes to the guide either through github, discord, or anything really.anyways, all that to say that a few things have changed now. for whoever is baking next, please add the new gazette link. the shopping guide link can stay the same until a change is made, at which point we can swap to the new hosted one.https://iemgazette.pages.dev/and if anyone wants to contact me or eq guide anon, do it here or through our contact pages.
>>107742913crazy stuff, too bad nobody will ever read
my new year's resolution is to not read the eq guide. so far, so good.
>>107742913Thanks for your work and dedication to this general anon, I'm sure that most people including me read the gazette and the shopping guide, the only thing everybody ignores is the eq guide lol.
This shit glows like the sun.
When in 10-20 years everything will be cloud computing and nobody is going to own any hardware anymore Tor is going to be dead anyways.It will be impossible to do anything anonymous online since they can just watch what you do on their servers 24/7so enjoy it while it lasts and hoard as much as you can.or just go on Twitter and ask to trade lmao.
>>107738622Tor has some issues, but you can edit the torrc to mitigate most of them >only use RPKI ROV supporting guards (against the RAPTOR attack)>avoid German / Dutch / US / Swedish guard nodes>avoid OVH, Hetzner, Banhof, M247, 1st Amendment Encrypted Openness LLC (824 total relays!!) guard nodes>Optional: avoid guards hosted in Club de Berne / NATO / Fourteen eyes countries >avoid AS559, AS1205, AS786, (LITERAL government honeypots, check bgp.tools -> tags: Government / Academic) >Jurisdiction Analysis: 13.9% Five Eyes influence | 78.9% Fourteen Eyes ( https://metrics.nothingtohide.nl/misc/countries-by-bandwidth.html )this will probably avoid issues like picrel (Guard and Exit are the same entity, timing attack is trivial here) or >>107740256

>>107739002>>107742450Glowie level advice. >Best case:You>ISP>VPN>Tor>internetThis just hides from your ISP that you’re connecting to Tor. Your VPN service is now able to tell who you are + that you’re on Tor. Slower network and no additional overhead for feds if they’re after you. >Worst case if it’s misconfigured:You>ISP>Tor>VPN>internetYou now have all of the problems of slower networking PLUS all of your traffic has a common endpoint which is actually the point of Tor (anonymity). Now the feds can watch everything you connect to also, once again with no additional overhead. >The actual solutions:Use a fucking bridge or don’t connect from home. A bridge prevents your ISP from knowing you’re on Tor, connecting from a different network prevents you from being placed at the location where Tor was accessed.

Have you ever considered the possibility that some day normal consumer won't be able to afford a computer anymore?With GPU and RAM price increases, this nightmare scenario seems likely.Wireless Internet connections might also get so full of traffic that one day fast Internet will be a luxury as well.1. Give people cheap tech so they get dependent on it.2. When they're addicted, start ramping up the price + scarcity3. WinMe? I'm already learning ways to survive without technology. In a few years you might have to live without tech.

>>107739922I don't buy the "have no time" argument. Anyone who has the time to scroll through tiktok on a daily basis can use that time to learn the basics of something like hosting one's own services instead. The reality is that this kind of thought will never enter most people's minds to begin with.
I'm not going to "live" without anything. If there comes a point that my lifestyle is unsustainable because of the decisions of a bunch of old men in suits then I'm going to make sure I take down as many with me as I can before I die, and I'm sure I won't be the only one. The revolution will be a bloody one.

mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp
>>107739973>can you set ffmpeg to avoid making the "video" filesize way bigger than the sum of each image filesize?Yes and YES.I already done this to /a/, but since I'm not certain bald head of cartel I was canceled.>Original chapter in PNG ~ 30 MB>VP8 webm ~ 3 MBI have shit netbook and vp9 is tooo slow on my machine, but I assume doing two pass would reduce the size even further.And btw you can use ffmpeg to extract the frames one by one.Or actually use mpv as manga viewer.
>>107740786That's amazing, thanks anon. This looks even better than I thought! 3MB what the hell, I know it's not as pretty but for the filesize it's black magic.>since I'm not certain bald head of cartel I was canceled.qrd? Jannies didn't like it?
>>107740962For various reasons, this meant I can host most lots of manga with low resources and with some custom JS player, I can serve manga directly as webm.This made several cartels not happy, since it can "steal" traffic because each manga page is served on it's own url page, and that meant less revenue from ads.Also some puritans claimed started arguing about about using VP8 as lossy format compared to lossless PNG, which is weird since 90% were using lossy PNG or lossy JPG when serving the releases, with the exception of actual scanlators groups.And finally, some NPCs couldn't handle the fact using video format to read their mongolian black and white doujins.Honestly I don't care anymore, the old 4chan is long dead, most of the posts here are AI bots talking to each other the rest is NPC larping as oldfags.>Jannies didn't like itThe threads would get deleted, because technically it made posting entire manga volumes much much easier, that was during the peak DMCA scare.
>>107741463VP9 even supports lossless, but efficiency is significantly worse than PNG for black and white content like manga
>>107741681Yeah, but at high resolutions how much of details are you gonna lose?Honestly some lossy is fine for manga if text is readable.

>>107742223no, it's not. you can always find a way to use ram.
>>107742160I generally don't get why people in this thread regularly go out of their way to get a board without IPMI/equivalent only to then bitch a few threads later that they don't have remote management capabilities on a $100 board from aefuioaheuifiuahefiuahsodpamcsylonjfhiuhwaiughd llc. registered in Ching Chong Street 69, Shenzhen.I understand not wanting to spend 2k on a new supermicro board or any workstation board really but come the fuck on used and older gen server/workstation boards are dirt fucking cheap.

How do you stay motivated when you're trying to teach yourself something new? I'm envious of programmers but the fact trying to build my skills in the arena would involve taking myself to that with only myself and my own intellect to overcome the specific roadblocks I could encounter and that sort of thing feels unmotivating to me. You can go to a forum and ask a question, maybe, but people just flowing in and out and dropping an answer might not hit upon your issue or feel timely. I feel like I really need either someone to learn alongside with or someone actually willing to take the time to walk through what I'm fucking up on to feel like I can actually commit to personal growth.

>>107741790>The difference in vibe around computers and technology up until around 2005 cannot be understatedI'd extend that to the late 2000s, because of my zoomer bias and the fact that smartphone faggotry didn't start infecting PCs until around 2011/2012 with GNOME 3 and Windows 8, but yeah that's what I was getting at. Honestly, I've recently found myself questioning whether romanticizing historic computing culture is even justifiable anymore, since we're all witnessing the hellish aftermath of it - the rehashed 2010s /pol/shit from earlier in this thread is a good example - but Cheifet's death feels like a reminder that we need more stubborn autists to carry its torch now more than ever. I don't think I'll ever stop seething over the fact that this industry invested so much time and money into normalizing general-purpose computing in every home and (seemingly) trying to collectively enhance our human potential, just so they could throw it all away in favor of hawking Mossad spyware, smart toilets with ads, vibecoded webshit, and retarded chatbots that magically generate fake cheese pizza instead. What a complete and utter waste

>>107739824> Compositing is only an issue if you can't disable itOnce compositing becomes the norm, it changes how software is written, thus even if you can disable it, you can't really. Before compositing was a thing, software drew directly to the front buffer with accelerated drawing apis. This allowed for an unrivaled responsiveness. But now all software draws to offscreen buffers.
What is Steam's secret? Why is Steam so succesfull?
>>107742022Ok then let’s talk about Street Fighter 5 which was hated by everyone and there is enough evidence on Google search from 2023 to prove it. What is your dumb excuse now anon!

>>107729974Was the rest supposed to change what happened? What did happen, anyway?
>>107741958Unless you do lossless encoding (Which no one does, specially YT), uploading at 60 FPS doesn't double your filesize, and if it's just a slideshow, it should be pretty close since you're gonna re-use pretty much the same macroblocks. What surprises me is that 4K isn't a premium feature, I feel that YT could save a lot of money if they only allowed monetized channels to upload 4K, and only YT premium subs to watch it. Realistically speaking, given that most people watch on mobile, you wouldn't really have that much backlash
