How much does this even do, privacy wise? Even if your ISP can't see your DNS traffic, they'll still see your HTTP traffic, right?
>>

What does what do?
>>
>>106488941
HTTPS alone does not cover DNS. You need to use DoT or DoH. That being said just about every modern browser uses DoH and if your operating system has secure dns setup it'll defer to that.

But if your concern is your ISP / Cloudflare / Google / (Whatever DoH resolver you use) snooping on you then DoH does not fix that. DoH only prevents 3rd party observers seeing what you're doing, the endpoint (ISP, Cloudflare, etc) will still see your DNS request... as they need to in order to resolve it.

So it's a matter of "who do I trust more". Your ISP (They keep logs for police if subpoenaed, I forget how long but they do). Cloudflare, Google, etc. (Spoiler: Most probably keep logs for legal reasons).

Also yes, if you go to a http website your ISP, and everyone else, can snoop on it. Also even with https they can snoop on the IP destination. If you really care about full coverage for both https/http/dns you need a VPN. If you're a schizo you can probably find a VPN in some shithole that won't cooperate with the US. If you're not schizo it just gives a tiny peace of mind, but if the VPN provider keeps logs don't be surprised if they (the feds) can reconstruct what you did. Realistically if you're in that much shit you have lots of other things to worry about imo.

Two major uk isps are keeping all dns queries but won't say why. It's a good idea to consider a secure dns these days. At the very least you should all be putting dns on max protection with a custom dns in your browser settings.

I do, because I have so many fucking files any other app I've tried turns my phone into the demon core trying to index it all

I'm not a faggot OP so I'll say I managed to fix it by resetting all app permissions (maybe just need to reset all files access) and restarting my phone again, it took a while but now it seems like the gallery indexed everything properly again and the search is working
I don't know why this shit randomly breaks all the fucking time, I know I have literally hundreds of thousands of files but fuck you restarting my phone shouldn't just make it stop working entirely

also I use gallery search because when I download images from threads it makes a folder for that specific thread, so if a thread is titled properly I can just search (series name) or whatever and the gallery will show every image IN those folders instead of just the folders

As long as you understand what it is, and thereby its limitations, its ok. How many times do/did we see boilerplate mentioned on /g/. That's what's going to going away. Its like any other tool that amplifies human capability.

Musing right now, think about all the languages and frameworks that get created to manage the boilerplate itself. Maybe with AI tooling that is seen to be unnecessary.

Is this a bubble? Of course it is! So what? Just because the .com bubble popped doesn't mean the internet disappeared or that technical progress stopped. Modern hardware is immensely more powerful than in 2000 - and really that progress lead to this bubble being possible.

>Have Europoors not come up with contingency plans
They have but never implemented them because every time EU tries to get little bit away from US, US then smacks them back into submission. Recently EU was talking about spending trillions building local military manufacturing, but then Trump got a deal where he forced EU to only buy US military equipment and also pay 4% worth of EU GDP for US LNG. Not a single European I know likes it, because instead of making our own equipment we will have to buy extremely overpriced junk from US that is 90% manufactured in China anyway, and then also risk US not following article 5. You can’t make contingency plan for US fucking up when they keep behaving like this and trying to put everyone else down. The only reason why China has yet not completely beaten US in AI is because US put the chip ban on China which only bought them less then a decade time before China invents their own NVIDIA chips.

you should replace SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL with SDL_WINDOW_VULKAN to tell sdl that you wish to use vulkan and remove all the OpenGL related stuff(basically, anything with _GL* in the name)

there are only a handful of Vulkan related calls https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/CategoryVulkan
and as per the docs,
> Use SDL_Vulkan_GetInstanceExtensions() to get platform-specific bits for creating a VkInstance, then SDL_Vulkan_GetVkGetInstanceProcAddr() to get the appropriate function for querying Vulkan entry points. Then SDL_Vulkan_CreateSurface() will get you the final pieces you need to prepare for rendering into an SDL_Window with Vulkan.
is all you gotta do.

How do I create and manage these so called “handles” for bindless resources? I know people fancy unordered_map but all my stuff meshes, textures, materials are in vectors and needs to be in such container for Vulkan purposes (mainly textures). I import a gltf on startup but obviously deleting and changing things would break everything without some kind of handle system to properly guide resources to each other.
>>
>>106488968
>all my stuff meshes, textures, materials are in vectors and needs to be in such container
Vulkan resource handles are mostly uint64_t values.
Your graphics drivers implicitly creates and maintains the memory for your resource via a dispatch table that is present within a dispatchable handle. That is why we need to pass a dispatchable handle like VkInstance or VkDevice everytime we deal with their respective non-dispatchable handle for creation, destruction and all other operations. We do not have control over this memory.
We only need to bother with how our application manages the raw bytes of texture images or buffer data. That's the only thing within our control.
>deleting and changing things would break everything without some kind of handle system
just rely on tress for it.
N-ary tree are very easy to implement and use as a scene graph. You can just allocate and deallocate memory recursively for your resources in the scene graph when you add or remove a node.
Don't think of it as an handle system. Its not good for performance. Our graphics drivers already maintain a dispatch table, it is not optimal but works well as a generalized solution and we do not have to resort to such means for our application as well.

It's the most reliable form of media storage there is, so it's definitely got that going for it.
>muh disc rot
People just being this hearsay bullshit up, nobody has seen it. If the disc was properly made, it won't happen.
The problem is storage size, a dvd is 4gb, this is nothing current day. But really important stuff being backed up onto dvd is not a bad idea.
>>
>>106485465
My only gripe with CDs is that it's not a very quick way to install things or for fast data retrieval.
It's still relevant to me enough that I put a Blu-Ray drive in my computer, and a memory card hub.
What I don't understand is why did OEM and PC part manufacturers remove SD/microSD ports off of laptops and computer cases? It can be expensive finding a good USB 3.0 SD card adapter that doesn't cook your card to death.
It's easier to find something modern with a random DVD-ROM drive these days than it is to find something with internal SD card slots.

Figured i'd make a thread on actual technology rather than consumer slop.

>Keratin extracted from sheep wool has been found to help protect human teeth. It could be coming to your dentist’s office soon.
>After applying the keratin film to a tooth sample, the scientists found that it formed an ordered, strong and crystal-like coating similar to biological enamel when it came in contact with minerals in saliva. Over the course of a month, the coating attracted calcium and phosphate ions, building up a hard, protective layer over the tooth.
>"We are entering an exciting era where biotechnology allows us to not just treat symptoms but restore biological function using the body's own materials," Elsharkawy said. "With further development and the right industry partnerships, we may soon be growing stronger, healthier smiles from something as simple as a haircut."

Is it worth getting a Silicone Valley job if they just work you to the bone?

Pratik Pandey was found face-down in the early hours of August 20 in Mountain View, California, inside the Microsoft campus, The Palo Alto Daily Post reported.

An initial report from the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner seen by the outlet indicated that the 35-year-old suffered a heart attack.

His uncle, Manoj Pandey, recalled Pratik as being a bright, hardworking young man but said he was known for staying at work well into the night.

Pandey told the outlet that the tech giant and other firms need to be aware of the dangers of overworking and helping employees deal with stress and pressure.

He told the Daily Post: 'That will probably save a life. It's a lot of pain for the family when a loved one passes away.'
