I like how a stick of RAM costs 2000 bucks now.Thank you, anons. Thank you for this shit.I guess I will never build another computer. But that's they you guys planned it. First you make people dependent on tech, then you remove the tech.also fuck you with the new, more tedious captcha.Everything goes in the wrong direction. Scan your face and pay 2k to post on 4chan am I right?

I hate nothing more than meeting with people i haven't seen for a couple years or month and they and up all staring at their smartphone screens instead of talking to each other.

We dont actually need smartphones - companies need us to use them.

I use QubesOS with detached boot partition on 2 duplicated USB drives with any data that rests on the SSD/HDDs being encrypted with LUKS2. Whonix gateway is proxied through a VPN qube to hide Tor IPs (can't hide communication patterns) without bridges since bridge IPs can be farmed. Sometimes Tor through I2P outproxy or vice-versa or with different anonymizing network overlays. Clients used for browsing are only opened in on-RAM ephemeral qubes with no access to permanent storage. Attack surface is quite minimum since no extra things added like USB mouse and no PV qubes (aside from sys-usb and sys-net) are used for launching HVM qubes with qemu stub domains unless very necessary and every other qube on the system gets shut down first to keep information leakage minimum. A veracrypt volume with hidden storage on a permanent qube for data storage and plausible deniability.what's your setup like?

>>107639976>>107639976Another emulator development tidbit that may interest you are illegal opcodes. This is mostly a 6502 specific thing AFAIK, but I think the 8086 may have some as well. You might know about their existence, but why they work is pretty interesting too. The 6502 (The CPU used in the NES) had a flawed instruction decoder. Instructions were decoded by looking up entries in a table of microcode depending on which bits of the opcode are on and off. Nothing wrong with that, but there's also nothing stopping you from using opcodes that mix properties of completely unrelated instructions. Some can be useful but most just jam the CPU. Even some official NES games used unofficial opcodes, for instance, Aladdin uses a SLO instruction which shifts the contents of a byte of memory left and then compares it against the accumulator register. Anyways, apparently some of these instructions are unstable and don't work the same way all of the time due to analog variance. A truly accurate NES emulator would have to emulate all the undocumented opcodes and then account for the hardware being used. Accuracy is a total nightmare.
>>107646927Also using these isn't generally reccomended since newer 6502 revisions used those slots for new, incompatible instructions

Linux is often sold as progress, but philosophically it feels like a step backward. The people who shaped the field at its best, Engelbart, Alan Kay, Licklider, were trying to make computers amplify human thought, not turn users into part time system administrators. Engelbart wanted integrated systems that helped people reason, collaborate, and build knowledge. Kay imagined the computer as a living medium, something you could understand, reshape, and learn from. Linux goes in the opposite direction. It inherits the Unix mindset where the system is a miserable little pile of loosely connected tools and the human is expected to glue them together through arcane commands and configuration files. Complexity is not reduced, it is pushed onto the user and normalized as a virtue. Instead of higher level concepts, Linux clings to decades old abstractions like everything being a file, text streams as universal interfaces, and shells as the main way to think. The result is a system no single person can fully understand, held together by conventions, folklore, and cargo cult practices. What makes this worse is the culture that formed around it. A common trait among Linux enthusiasts is a mix of resentment and shallow elitism, where struggling with the system is reframed as proof of intelligence or moral superiority. Difficulty becomes a badge of honor rather than a design failure. Many users overestimate their understanding, mastering a narrow set of commands and rituals while mistaking familiarity for depth. This Dunning–Kruger confidence feeds contempt for ordinary users and for systems that aim to be coherent and humane, as if usability were a flaw rather than the point. Instead of demanding better abstractions, the culture defends rough edges as character building. In that sense, Linux does not just fall short technically. It fosters an attitude that resists the ideals of clarity, empathy, and intellectual humility that the great figures of computing actually stood for.

five more weeks and i'm done with this shitanother teammate just left, and I feel bad for the guys who are staying behind, because they probably need to work... but this place is a fucking shit hole and i need to get out
how do i get a file out of a mac with crowdstrike?
>>107647233theyre just so much smarter and work so much harder than us. how do we keep up with these 90 iq geniuses?one thing is for certain, i sleep better at night knowing we're handing off so much digital infrastructure to these people.
why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks
>>107640805>"i program in a style very unique to myself and it throws people off"it just sounds like you write garbage-tier code. anyone can barf out spaghetti that kinda works, but that's not what people pay developers to do
>>107647276 when im actually able to execute what im trying to do its usually well recieved and optimized to a point where i can explain it to anyone without much issue. for example i recently made a rudimentary 3D renderer in a 2D engine and the entire thing was only like, 4 threads between 2 object types
>>107647419Code optimised (for performance) is not always good code for readability or maintainability or robustness for example.Now one thing that is true is that different areas have different requirements, and gamedev is often the type of programming that cares much less about traditional maintainability and much more about just pure optimisation and also writing it and getting it to work fast. This was especially true on older platforms and consoles were performance was at an extreme premium (and is somewhat less true today on modern engines). So if you're writing game code for esoteric or retro engines then fair enough, it's gonna be weird and that's fine.For almost anything else though the requirements are usually different. For a user-facing or desktop application, making the code easy to read, understand and expand with new features is much more important. For a business application, the biggest importance might be correctness, so making the code verbose, explicit in all its preconditions and invariants, and heavily testable. Etc. "Weird" code is usually considered trash code in those environments.If you're a gamedev it changes the context a lot compared to the above.

>>107646431Unironically the first 2-3 years of undergrad courses can largely be replaced with AI. This was also one of the purposes of community colleges, to act as cheaper feeders for four year institutions. However colleges are a business so obviously there is no incentive to accept transfer credits any more than is necessary to maximize profits.
