>>107556840my opinions on Daniel.
>>107556827>No libreboot does not make your device any more secureExplain this one.
>>107556932no verified boot.You can't be certain that the firmware hasn't been tampered with.Also they completely like to ignore the existance of hardware root of trust because it's proprietary.Libreboot prioritizes freedom over security.GrapheneOS makes use of it because... it's actually a good thing in terms of security.Now there's a few attempts to create an open hardware root of trust by google called OpenTitan but I am not familiar with it.
>>107557239I always assumed libreboot had the same functionality as Heads. If I am understanding this correctly then is the threat level for libreboot only in case I think that state actors have manipulated me into going to a certain electronics store at a certain time to buy a certain laptop that they tampered with before I bought it? God I hate freetards.
>>107555323My god you're stupid.Micro g, Aurora, and F-Droid are all insecure sources for app installation - therefore they develop and distribute sandboxed Google play store as a secure alternative. They explain a bit more on their forum: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/4290-sandboxed-microg/11
I'm no Terry Davis, but I'm like him in that I get visions of code during manic episodes. The first one was in 2009, when I was a C student in Intro to Java. I got visions for an algorithm I didn't even know was code so I wrote it out as a formal Turing machine. I didn't know it was a steganography algorithm until a few months ago.One last thing- I think I'm actually retarded because I still can't get TempleOS to run on a virtual machine. See picrel
>>107555961Actually Terry Davis was kinda retarded as well because he thought his visions came from God. No retard, that's just your weird ass brain fucking with you. Trust me my brain does that shit to me all the time

Hooray! I figured out how to extract the binary data from a png as a string. Can't wait to start hiding shit in images and gifs. Steganography ftw
>>107554695yea its so unstable when you are dealing with files being used by other processes, otherwise HxD just works
in c++ that is just std::ifstream file(PATH, std::ios::binary);file.seekg(0, std::ios::end);std::string f(file.tellg(), '?');file.seekg(0, std::ios::beg);file.read(f.data(), f.size());

I'm overhauling my network soon. I'm still on the fence between /24 and /16 for my subnets. Currently thinking /24 since I don't need the space a /16 offers on any of my networks. I do however like how it's easier to read at a glance 10.10 or 10.11 instead 10.10.10 or 10.10.11. I only have nine networks that I plan on setting up at this point.
>>107556806/16 is the way10.subnet.type.nodealso, 10.1 is a pretty neat shorthand for 10.0.0.1
So I've discovered you can give raw disks to ZFS without creating partitions, by running zpool create on an intermediary loopback device instead. Only thing it didn't do, was set whole_disk to 1, not sure how much it matters, but there must be some workaround for that as well.Is it really as bad an idea to use disks in this way as the internet is making it out to be? Not having something that doesn't strictly need to be there, is quite pleasing to my autism.

I noticed that every time I try to train something or run stable diffusion, my 1060 reaches a temperature around 95deg, and everything slows down. If I keep using it, it actually shuts off my laptop immediately.Is this normal? I haven't opened or cleaned that laptop since I bought it in 2016, could doing some maintenance help? Extra info: It takes about one to two minutes to go from 60-70 degrees to 95 degrees, so it heats up rather quickly. But it takes over 10 minutes to fall back under 80 degrees. Maybe I should also set the fan speed manually to max?
>>10755012495 is pretty cool. Mine commonly gets above 200.
>>107554877What how>>107554877
>>107551829because software and hardware are intertwined. you will spend the rest of your life getting buttfucked by hardware issues (especially in networking) as you try to do more and more interesting things.
>>107550124Have you tried turning it on and off?>>107554877Cool. It doubles as a cheap heating and cooking alternative for your home.
>>107550124Unironically I wonder if you're troll. Laptops have awful, awful thermal headroom. If you're gonna do this, you probably want to just take out the whole thing out of the enclosure, at least the hot parts. Then you want to improve the cooling. A fan blowing hard on the parts might be good enough, but the best solution might be to install a desktop CPU heatsink type of thing, but will be risky because there is no attachment so it will be janky. You could also watercool, which would be the best solution, but this require proper DYI so I wont go there.You pretty much guaranteed to throttle over a longer period of time, so if possible undervolt/underclock your GPU and/or CPU.what you should actually do. Do some light maintenance and keep your laptop for study stuff, like one should(!). Then learn about computers. Then based on that put passive search queries on websites for parts. Wait for a good deal on old hardware. Pay around maybe less then 200 usd for good enough PC. Then also keep an eye out for people just unloading KGs of electronic shit, especially connectors. Congratz you now have what you need to tinker.

>>107552459>>107553560It's a personal journey, so it's kinda hard to tell what to look out for. Pick what you like, stick with it and git gud. Main thing I'd recommend is using a filesystem like Btrfs and making snapshots before any tinkering or updates - will help you avoid having to reinstall/fix when things will inevitably go wrong.
>>107557103There's an Mpv extension for Sponsor Block actually.
>>107557268Well multiple, rather I should add. If the one you're using isn't working then try a different one. It works the same way as the extension in the browser does (makes API call to sponsorblock to get sponsor segments and then skips them in the player) so if something is wrong then it's the Mpv extension.

remember when we had elitism on 4chan? like, imagine it's 2012-2016 again, but gamergate never happened, luggage lad never happened, moot still owned the site and never joined google, trump never ran for president, redditors were still too scared to visit 4chan, no "muh sekrit club" comments and posting the plural form of anime with an s would get you scolded off the site. well anyway. If that were the case, my reply would look something like this:>2024+1>not having a residential vpn/proxy>not having perfect JA3/JA4 TSL fingerprint spoofing that matches vpn/proxy origin device>not having thousands of browser profiles with farmed cookies and history for good google/captcha/antibot scores>shiggidydiggidymanwithbat.jpgbut since that's not the case, my entire post reads like AI induced and generated shizophrenia, and my actual reply is:yeah it sucks, same happens on youtube. but what's the actual reason? soundcloud doesnt have geo restricted content like youtube nor any reason I could think of to use a vpn. me thinks it's just to reduce cost by saving bandwith from all the bots streaming, as you can get a 1GB/s datacenter proxy for like 2$/month if you know where to look.

>openBSD is about technical innovation in leanness and securityOkay, we all know that cuck license trivially shuts this down, but let me add some salt to an deep gash of a wound1. Being contrarian to glibc with shitty 1960's quality C code isn't lean, efficient or innovative.2. Your stubborness to learn how to write modern, efficient "unreadable" code might be the reason why you don't understand that GPL is superior to your cuck license, what GPL and modern, efficient have in common is they have a lot of nuance and foresight of things to come.3. Nobody uses your toy OS so nobody, not even you know if your OS is actually secure or just that irrelevant.
Why is DJI so far ahead of everyone else in terms of quadcopter drone tech?: https://youtu.be/eHJLPAQuxz8?t=712
>>107557056>And not a single terrorist is using this for attacks in western countries?Yeah. Really makes you think isn't it? Maybe the intel services manage to catch potential terrorists before they can execute their plans. But even if drones are definitely the superior way right now to dispose of somebody without risking to get caught, for some reason no terrorist wants to use them. And it's not a capability problem, if you can build bombs you can build functional FPV drones no problem.
>>107557110every high schooler with good grades in chemistry could buy some dangerous stuff with drones. Just walk into a pharmacy and hardware store, buy the things you need put them into something easily breakable and put it onto a drone.I never was a conspiracy theory guy... but I can't believe that no terrorist is doing stuff like this. Instead they have shooting or bombings and always their ID cards in their pockets.
