>>107668365No point in using S8 where S9 does everything better, S9 was peak (maybe S10?) and then it went to shit

That is a tradeoff you'll have to consider.

I use Firefox with everything at default settings and it just werks. People really depend on a pack of scripts to use this site? What are you even doing? We scroll, write shit, and attach pictures. What else do you really need to accomplish those things?

I'm honestly glad all these artists who want to pollute their images with watermarks and other shit are getting BTFO. Not for AI reasons, but they somehow think that sharing things on the Internet means only they get to share and only for headpats for other people. You want to save the nice image they made? Fuck you, here's a giant watermark to ruin it. There are bad actors, but who the fuck cares?

>>107670445Ok? There are people of different backgrounds that are pro or anti AI, I ain't arguing against that. My point is the manner of speaking in the original twitter pic is made by people who pose as that kind of people. It's the kind of posts that someone from here would make.The problem is they're not subtle enough.

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?
>>107668404>also, isn't it fairly safe running a pirated game inside flatpak bottles/wine application since it's a sandboxed environment, regardless if it's a VM?flatpak uses bubblewrap which uses namespaces. safeness depends on how well it's sandboxed. never used flatpak more than once because I used to sandbox everything my own with bubblewrap / seccomp filters manually in the past on linux so I can't comment on that but I heard it's not so good.https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html#flatpakso, I recommend learning how to use bubblewrap. it's pretty easy when you know how to, but setting up an isolated network namespace and then forwarding packets with custom nft rules isn't as straightforward unless you script it.namespaces by themselves are relatively secure I think since they're the defacto sandboxing apis in linux and battletested by real software, as long as you make sure unprivileged user namespace creation permission is not set and you don't give exposure to more kernel apis by creating uid 0 inside user namespace (eventhough it's not real root, it can access more kernel code than a non-root user).the main problem is it won't be a perfectly good sandbox unless you run a headless program. you will have to give it gpu device node and xorg/wayland access to run it in native performance and it exposes many attack surface. Also networking with network namespaces exposes more attack surface than doing it with Xen netback/netfront. Even if you don't create any network device in the sandbox at all supposedly. it's why qubes or another type 1 hv approach is more secure, the isolation is more ground up. GUI on QubesOS is passed with their own libvchan based proxy that has smaller attack surface than even a setup with VNC over network running in a headless vm with virtual Xorg framebuffer. I stopped using vanilla Xen for that reason.

Seriously anyone still use older thinkpad in this day and age?I mean the hardware is obsolete now to do anything meaningful unless you just do simple text editing and very basic web site browsing.
Anyone having issues with the latest mesa driver (1:25.3.1-2) and kernel (6.18.2) on Intel HD Graphics 3000 ?I keep getting these weird glitches when using HWDec on mpv, and even firefox keep crashing.And after the last update moonshine doesn't even work anymore, and I just get blackscreen.

>>107665534>do you have any specific grievance?Other than limitation of maximum ram that can be solved with ssd and swap/pageThe old hardware (CPU/chipset) and constant worry it might drop from the bleeding edge distros and the no support for the bugs that comes from it.Also most of these can't be used for media consumption with the new constant format since there's no HW decoding.My X220 struggle with 4K HEVC, and AV1 is just not something it can do.I'm using it as jellyfin server.>>107667120Why lie? convertible is far superior to detachable.>>107670486>one touchscreen X seriesWhich one do you recommend?

>>107668301>>107668312Yes, i see how you're doing it.Don't know the Strawberry player but looks nice.I'm sure you can add genre and year also to be shown in the player's metadata list, but you already have it in the album folders name as it seems.
>>107668390it is like this for any band, genre and artist if you pirate entire discographies, you just use directories, everything is 2 clicks away
>>107668410Folderstructure wise, i have it very similar. The only difference is that i have not only the albums but also compilations demos, singles in the same artist folder lumpsummed without having separate subfolders for albums, singles and such.Since i have the tags filled in, the player can sort them this way.

why did the kurobaex guy fuck up the entire app?
>>107658491>Noit did though
Trying Kuroba Ex Beta rn, the captchas work fine and have apt descriotions but the search function for board is basically ctrl+f and not a filter like it used to be, sadge. That needs fixing, and my keyboard has like ⅓rd of a second of lag before it comes up in the search bar.
Honestly he's really based for coming back and working on it. A true hero.
Holy shit it works, it is a Christmas miracle.
