The existence of competition has nothing to do with a company being a monopoly. Microsoft was considered a monopoly because they forced OEMs to sign agreements requiring them to only use windows on their computers.

And dozens upon dozens of lazy devs hard-coded their colors.

There are custom themes for Win11 that dark theme Win32 UI, and Microsoft could do the same. But because of those lazy devs they don't want to open up to the liability of some corposlave having issues using software from 1997 they need to use in dark mode because whoever wrote it back then didn't give a shit about respecting the Win32 API so we're stuck in the decades old Windows bodge parade. Bring your own dark theme! (warranty void if used)

If Microsoft has ANY SENSE, they build on the success of the .NET/C# team.

Develop a WinForms successor that is cross platform, Windows/Mac/Linux. Exportable to the web as well kind of like Avalonia. Simple drag and drop style native UI design with the ability to tweak and refine in the code. Make this a part of the transition to native UI.

This shit would do numbers and wreck the current landscape. Everyone is dead fucking tired of working on front end sloppo for even the smallest apps and internal tools. The OG WinForms was a gateway drug for getting into C# itself because it was so easy and streamlined to work with for any kind of basic app.

Can anyone give me some pointers on setting fallback order for USBs in efibootmgr?
I have a server that boots from a USB that is always plugged in, and what I would like is for the server - during boot - to check for another USB plugged into the front of the machine, and try to boot from that (a rescue USB that gets me SSH so I don't have to hook up a screen) and if it isn't there (which will be almost always) it boots from the USB in back.
What I'm not sure how to do is specify with efibootmgr which PCI hardware path is relevant to the boot entries I create. I know how to make them and order them, just not how to specify which USB I mean for each entry.
Anybody know how to do it?

I started on Fedora with KDE just recently. Never again, it was a coin toss whether it would boot normally or into emergency mode. I don't know if I broke something or if it's just like that
>>
>>108509878
My system is encryped. /boot could be encrypted with a passkey, but that is a pain to enter on a headless server. Keeping a keyfile in the same place as the thing is encrypts nullifies the use of encryption, so that's out too.
Keeping /boot on a USB means that I can physically remove the USB to make it completely secure. Because I can't protect it with encryption I can protect it physically.
I could boot from a networked boot on another computer too I suppose. I have considered it but this seemed simpler.

might wanna tell the class where you're based cause that's pretty important regarding the subject. some countries don't give a fuck, some do when it comes to early movie releases etc, some just don't. also VPN alone doesn't do much. at least host your own DNS resolver also to hide your activity from isp and by extension everyone else who asks for your data.

DHT is how you signal others what you have. Think of it as distributed map of content. Apparently lawyers pay someone to monitor it etc.

I personally never cared about IP leaks, so never figured that out. But probably it does.
Actually a long time ago I've been at some dark interwebz where obvious cops were posting csam and encouraged everyone to download torrents. Some epstein-tier dark shit. So every single time I scrolled down those forums,I would see someone chimping out about torrenting over i2p and dumping walls of text on this subj.
Funny to think about it, that's where I learned about opsec and privacy and such.
Afaik their endgame was wrapping traffic in i2p or something like that. In fact you can check out qBitTorrent client settings, they somehow managed to push their garbage all the way in there, right in the client. It kinda amazes me. Literally nobody but pedos use that shit. And it's in the TOP 1 TORRENT CLIENT. Man...

Anyways, all this clown show with i2p is only relevant if the tracker is not to be trusted, in other words, operated by cops etc. Call it adversary.
But when it's a regular and trusted private tracker, I know they require you to disable DHT and such, like in a secret club of some sort. So I assume if the torrent tracker is trusted, participants don't tell on each other and all have DHT and peer exchange disabled, then they can seed and torrent whatever the fuck they want till the end of times. Or so it seems.

>>108507959
Not an issue in Finland since an IP address cannot be used as a proof of identity. They basically try to get you to contact the law office and admit the """crime""" by hinting at a stronger penalty when you don't react to the letter. If you ignore the letter, they can't do anything.

You will also only risk getting a letter by torrenting garbage TV shows like Black Sails from TPB. It is not universal surveillance. The company doing it has a list of specific rights they are monitoring with honeypot torrents. You have to be completely tech illiterate to fall for it.

What are some dead programming languages and frameworks? This piece of shit is rightfully mocked on hacker news and reddit. I don’t understand how anybody could ever tolerate a dynamically typed language. Static types are necessary for a language being a useful engineering tool and not some entry level, poorly scaling baby crayons.

Private trackers are not secret clubs. They are exclusive clubs. They exist to create well seeded and properly curated selections of high quality media. Also to make freeloaders seethe and shill shitty Android apps that don't work without paying to pirate.

do people like authenticator apps?

i broke my phone and got locked out of my bank, steam, post office and other things.
everysingle one needed an authenticator or some app i didn't have access to anymore.

i had to take out my sim and plug it into another phone to end up using the sms verification stuff, if i didn't have another phone, i'd be screwed.

do people enjoy this? like are jobs made solely for this so they won't go away?
I'm honestly so lost why things need to be so complex now, where just not having a single device causes so many issues

Google Authenticator backs up to to your Google account nowadays. Aegis has a back up feature too that it will nag you about if you haven't backed up your data. You have to be a complete retard to have lost your auth app access.

No. They're still better than fucking email 2fa because if you lose your email address, you are locked out for life. You can't back up a gmail address, but you can back up your authenticator keys. Not with google authenticator though, I use aegis.

Most normie apps sell your data so at this point I think the best defense you could have is unironically writing your stuff in pencil on a sticky note or a real life notepad.
The average internet zoomer is afraid of leaving their house so anything in your physical house is safe. If the state busts into your house thats a different can of worms but they have backdoors etc anyway so whatever.
If I get hacked somehow then I'll worry about it then. Hasn't happened yet.

the one thing I like about msvc is that it just works with address sanitizer and vcpkg.
mingw gcc does not support address sanitizer, but clang does (llvm-mingw).
Clang-cl requires /MT /MTd for address sanitizer which is annoying (you don't need to rebuild vcpkg unless a library uses the C library).
Clang has ubsan (it does a lot of things) which is kind of neat since it converts __builtin_unreachable into an error unlike msvc's __assume(false).
In C /C++, Debug builds usually don't mean "Debug This". It just means "generate debug info".
Msvc has better sane Debug defaults in cmake / VS projects (RTC is similar~ to ubsan but asan is 100x more useful).
gcc/clang will not enable warnings by default...
Also you can avoid cmake by using VS projects and it works with vcpkg. And clang-cl works in VS.
Vcpkg is ideal for windows because it will copy DLL's for you (personally my issue with mingw is more C++ related, since in C you don't need any DLL's since mingw just uses msvc's C library. You could statically link BUT I like DLL's).
Also note that on mingw/linux, all your functions are public. You need -fvisibility=hidden, but now your debugger wont work at all with optimized code.
On MSVC (and clang-cl) you get no info on a "Release" build". So you can't even use a debugger. cmake's RelWithDebInfo is close enough but it should also have /OPT:REF to reduce size...
Also linux has a lot of thread debugging tools (valgrind/thread sanitizer), if you are not using threads, there is no point to using linux. Dr Memory is identical to valgrind (asan does not check uninitialized memory bugs, unlike valgrind/dr memory, but it's so slow).
Also asan on linux will detect leaks, which I find annoying since graphical libraries tend to create false positives.
One reason why msvc wont make a pdb file for a release, is probably because it will leak the full path (this is only an issue if you build in your desktop, but I like keeping asserts enabled on release).
