Welcome to the 4chan /g/ Usenet General Thread!>What is /usenet/?Open standard protocols still exist and are what the internet was built on (http, irc, rss, ftp, etc). Not owned by corpos, not under govt control, and are accessible to anyone with an internet connection. They simply exist to be built upon and enjoyed by all.Some, like FTP are outdated and insecure. Others, like rss, irc, http, usenet are still glorious and wonderful open standards. Join us and discuss such topics on one such protocol: NNTP, aka usenet.>WTF IS USENETLiterally it means the Users Network. It’s an open protocol for posting and reading messages, organized by newsgroups. It's entirely decentralized, no single server, impossible to take down.Today it is split between, binaries and text. The binaries part is what it’s known for today: piracy. The text part is forgotten and abandoned, until now.>WHY POST ON USENETIt's open protocol, you can use any client you want or build you own. No costs, no subscriptions, no money. You can sign up through your ISP, or through eternal-september.org. Then you just need to install a client.>THIS IS OLDER THAN MY DAD.

This would've probably be successful if there was just a single client that was usable but after 12 years of development there is not a single client with reliable call, screenshare with audio, self deleting messages or even goddamn stickers. I thought this was supposed to be free and open with every possible configuration and addon possible. What the fuck are they cooking?
>>106978944Did that matrix p2p thing they talked big about years ever go anywhere in a practical/useable manner or did they can it?
>>106981646it didn't go anywhere. just like the homeserver implementation in go.

>>106981293Nice, that's exactly what I like. I'm probably gonna use Softears UCs since I usually use them, though I'm tempted to irresponsibly shell out for UTs. I hear the stem may be kind of long, so maybe they'll have good seal without needing foams/etc? I suppose I'll see whenever I get them.
>>106981321out of many ear tips, coincidentally i use softears uc with mine. but you can order tips after trying what you have on hand

>>106981331Nice, I imagine I'll like them too, then. What filter tube things do you use? I've heard good stuff about the L/Light ones. In any case, I'll have to post a picture when I get the chance after they arrive, hopefully this month.
>>106981261I demoed them multiple times and didn't like them at all. Shouty mids, anemic bass and harsh treble without any special detail retrieval.There was a stabbing peak in the treble, not sure if it will be possible to completely get rid of with EQ without fucking up the resolution completely. Tanchjim just like KZ follows the inverse value law - the cheaper the pos, the better it sounds. Bnnuy is good.

When you guys want to replicate a AI picture, do you use the same platform as the original?Like, a cool picture made with Automatic1111. Sometimes, it's kinda "hard" to replicate it on Comfyui or SwarmUI.
>>106981495Do you really need to 1:1 reproduce the pic you've seen? I mostly look at artist tags/loras and rarely at some unusual tags, that's it
Microsoft Teams, is one of the worst things in my life, I hate it so fucking much, but the world forces it down my throat
>>106974416Works fine for me
>>106974319Just let me use Zoom.It's not even that this is a lock-in we're forced to use. It's not. Zoom is SO MUCH BETTER and has so many features and I can participate in meetings without even being at my computer or even installing an app. I can participate in a meeting with hundreds of people just by dialing a phone number, and it lets me mute, it lets me hang up, raise hand, it's fantastic.I can even sign in to a meeting on Zoom to get video and use my superior audio device to my PC known as my phone. Which lets me stand up and walk away from a meeting while still participating in the meeting.Why can't Teams do that?
>>106974319I've never used it. Have you tried not being an office cuck?
>>106974389this piece of shit like any web browser is an entire virtual operating system in itself, what do you expect

They also updated Gimp and now if I merge down to one layer and copy all it gives me this shit rather than the properly cropped version (where it increases image size to fit all layers perfectly and adds padding to do so). Cropping doesn't do shit unless you export the file.Why the fuck would you do this?
Are there any decent kitchen knives on aliex?I believe I had seen something somewhere
>>106981673Yes but I can't spoonfeed you because the listings change all the time, so what worked for me won't necessarily work for you.Read the guide and the /ck/ guide linked in it to get some basics about knife stuff if you don't know those already, then look for one of the decent factories selling VG10 damascus steel (which means vg10 core with a cheaper cladding). Outperforms expensive german knives for a fraction of the price.
What can realistically be done about this?
>>106981689chromium requires a lower opengl version to work than firefox which makes it faster on old garbage
>>106969965the creator is a low iq moron that used ai to generate huge swathes of code in the project
>>106969951Chrome was originally safari (webkit) at which point Apple contributed most if the code.Google wrote chrome to make it “run on more platforms” and ended up making it run on less that webkit had.Google is not a technology company.
>>106981012The problem is that they’ve continually been adding shit to javascript including subtle inner behaviours for fingerprinting and other malfeasance making it very very difficult to duplicate.
>>106981567He lied on that interview. Changed the story on the DJ Vlad interview.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ktBRSBxi9qcskip to 8 minutes if you hate this faggot. "They would provide me with rough on a regular basis" is basically investing in and owning fucking mines. "Well we just handshook and that's how they did things there" so if that's the equivalent as paperwork there then why fucking mention it. Dude is incapable of not attempting to obfuscate his life, that's how skeezy this fuck is. Ultimately not my problem though.
Why does POSIX make trannies seethe?
>>106977454Rust's rejection of invalid UTF-8 in the string type is catering to brainlets, it saves you if you're clueless about validation but normally it just introduces pointless scanning and failure modes where there should be none. For example if you're working with data in some "legacy" encoding, you now either get a panic or a bunch of U+FFFD instead of something that you can at least convert back to UTF-8. Data destroyed, give up. In contrast a well written C tool for *nix that only handles ASCII also automatically handles UTF-8, but it'll also work with EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, GBK, etc. assuming it doesn't touch the clusterfuck that is wchar_t.The actual bug in POSIX paths is that they accept newlines which breaks sh, in fact the committee is working on this.
>>106981215>no "everything is a file" braincanceryeah in windows you have have "everything is a handle, and every type of object has a unique set of dogshit functions to retrieve handles"
>>106981677>oh you want to obtain information about process #5934?>no worries, just open /PROC/PID/5934/whatever and then parse the text contents of that file into binary form that you can actually uselinux is so braindamaged it's not even funny.>Information exists as binary data inside the kernel>Due to retarded "unix" philosophy, it gets converted into text and put into a fake "file" in the imaginary filesystem>Then you have to read out the contents of that "file" and parse it back into a binary formyeah nah that sounds so dumb, most retarded and bad design for an OS ever made.

>>106975802>what actually matters when selecting audio devices.your fucking room anon. that's what matters most when choosing gear.I know some architect, built himself a nice house, got some expensive audio setup which he didn't install in the end because he designed the space like shit for audio. some minimalist hard floor shit and the echo was horrendous, and no way of treat the room for audio, like at all

>>106981472The Commodore64 is what true personal computing should had become --the model of the User/Programmer, to define our relationship with computers exactly as a function of "to use this computer you necessarily have to program it". Why do I need to setup permissions on my computer if I'm the sole user? Why do I need to set myself as sudoer? Effectively, Loonix people are deluded that Mainframe wannabes can be personal operating systems.I know there's a very good reason for permissions and there's a very good reason why the C64 model didn't take hold: not everyone is a programmer and people actually need safeguards not to segfault themselves every day, but come the fuck on.
