Is it worth using in 2025? I just want to explore weird chatrooms and fuck around with people anonymously. Is hexchat a good place to start?
>>106489303Where did all the old heads go? When I was 13yrs old on irc in 00's there were lots. Can't say jobs or kids cause most of them had kids and a job. They probably have more time now then the majority of millennials do now.
>>106489343most people never gave a shit about there ip's or whatever even in the private tracker irc. it just doesnt matter. I still see people talking in private tracker ircs tho thats cool just not a lot. Last extremely fast irc that I was in was alt channel for a private tracker that was no rules and got deleted after awhile
>>106489370your ip address is "YOU" if you dont want to to take precautions so be it. desu the most active irc i ever connected to was a private video game tracker. was weird that more people were on irc chatting then playing video games the pirated.

Theoretically, can you completely de-India your computer by only using software without any Indian commits? Linus removed all Russian code from the Linux kernel, so something like this is certainly doable.What's a good base to start with for building a non-Indian OS under a free licence? Arch?

>>106488725Hmm, issues with mem? I have to quantize the LLM on 24gb, I've seen others run it through the repo code.
I'm thinking of upgrading from my dinosaur 2060.My option is either a 3060 or a 4070. All 12GB, of course. I want to do some WAN gens and actually use Flux or Chroma for once.Is a 4070 good enough for vids?
>>106489386even on a 3090 you get to wait 10+ minutes per video
>>106489406That's generous.
What is your DNS setup?
>>106479494How 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?
>>106488941What does what do?
>>106488941HTTPS 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.

>>106489066Two 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.

Does anyone here use Bootstrap Studio or something like it to build out the front end for websites.

>>106489202It's important to understand that this world is actual, literal hell.
>>106489202that's what happens when everything in the modern world is made by companies that only care about milking you for data so they can show their shareholders quarterly profits, as opposed to someone who actually cares about creating something they'd be proud of.
>>106489202what never had this issue but who uses gallery search
>>106489282no, that hasn't happened to me before>>106489322I 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 allI'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 workingI 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
>>106489322also 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

Gee, it's almost like AI is a bubble that will obliterate the American economy when it pops.
>>106488549As 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.

>>106486208>Have Europoors not come up with contingency plansThey 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.

>>106488654you 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)The rest, you can proceed normally as you would.
>>106488654>>106488689there 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.
>>106488654This is bait so when someone posts the 1000 line triangle example you can complain and say it's bloat. We are onto your tricks.
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 containerVulkan 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 systemjust 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.
What does /g/ think of optical media? I remember when everything was on CDs and I remember how obnoxious it was when they get scratched, but they still seem cool. I know that Bringus guy on YouTube hates optical media, but I'm not 100% sure why.Also check this out, some company is trying to make LTO tapes but optical instead of magnetic. I thought that was neat because it's like a real holotape.https://youtu.be/QTN8pc9_35M
>>106487421Why?
>>106485465It's the most reliable form of media storage there is, so it's definitely got that going for it.>muh disc rotPeople 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.
>>106485465My 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.

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."Basically tooth decay will be a thing of the past once this biotech is fully incorporated into dentistry products
>>106486604It basically isn't? Since it creates a layer on top of the enamel rather than repairing it
>>106486266Sounds like a good thing.Can't get food stuck inbetween teeth anymore.
>>106488436Not really.Your teeth slowly move and drift depending on factors such as how hard you grind them, inflammation and how much fluid you have in your sinuses
