Linus himself as said that if BSD wasn't in the legal situation it was in the early 90s he would have never made his kernel. What do you think the world would be like if BSD was being used for supercomputers and android and /g/ rather than linux? Would Free/Open/Dragonfly/NetBSD still exist or would eveyone just be using 4.3BSD/386BSD?

READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Set a static ip on all of the ports make it 10.0.0.0, or 192.168.1.0. Whichever one your main network isn't. They should be able to communicate if you set them up on the same network like that. I've only done it with two computers, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with more computers and a switch.

Wishful thinking. Well at the current prices at least I've come to appreciate and love the RAM that I have.

>>107689484
>>107689708
Static IPs like 10.10.0.1/24, 10.10.0.2/24 etc. should reach each other with the switch, for internet connection they'd need to have some route the parents wifi network and have the wifi router as default gateway.

We're at the point where Lenovo has removed the 7-row layout, swapped fn/ctrl, changed the lid shape, removed the roll-cage, removed socketed CPUs, removed the lid latch, started soldering memory, started soldering wifi, dropped the combination NVME/2.5" bay, and dropped RJ45.
And every fucking step of the way, going right back to posting on /prog/, I've watched thinkpad posters go through the "old good, new bad (until it's cheap on ebay)" cycle annually.

"Empty" likely means no components but the footprints and solder points exist.
DRAM packages are standardized per JEDEC specifications.
You can design and order PCBs meant specifically for DDR4/DDR5 and solder any available DRAM

Russians actually have some RAM chips production. But it stuck on DDR4 level.

They have developed their own chips for DDR5 (DDR5 К1661PП1BЯ), but it's not in production yet.

Actually while I was making this post, I've searched info on these chips. Turned out, they've used some RockChip chips instead of developing fully their own.

When do you decide to buy a new laptop if you know the next year there will be a better one and the year afterwards an even better one? Why don't you wait next year for the better models? When do you put the cutout?
When do you decide that "okay, the model this year is the one I'm buying and I will totally not regret my decision when newer models are released." Because it never ends.

Buy a laptop when there's a meaningful improvement. The people who bought M1 Macbooks, for example, didn't regret it.

Update only when you need to. If your laptop does everything you need, keep using it.

i buy one when i need one, and i dont bother buying one new or having anxiety about them being faster next year. in 2020 i had a thinkpad R60 with xp on it, everyone started pushing zoom and teams with lots of remote desktops, aws, etc that wasnt going to work with XP. I installed 7 but it was getting pretty slow and the battery finally died. I could have bought a new laptop right there in august of 2021, spent thousands of dollars, and be practically where i am now. I looked at a bunch of benchmarks, 8th gen was the first major performance increase since ivy bridge, 9th gen didnt do much, 10th gen was a bit better but also new and expensive. I bought a latitude 5400 for somewhere around $300 and this year web browsers are starting to lag on it a lot. I go look again, 11th gen, iris Xe, its attractive, but they're all quad cores, 12th gen is way better. I look at those laptops, and price out 13th gen too, 13th is significantly more expensive without being much faster, but in this case alone the 7640 is a much better chassis than a 7530, I'll be buying one i like for about $350-400 and use it for another 3-5 years. I can bitch about how its not my problem web developers are retards making needlessly bloated horse shit and be right all day and it wont fix my problem. computers are a subscription service and you have to weed through loads of shit to pay less

What is the /g/ consensus on password managers? How much safer are they to use than using a handful of "smart" passwords for everything?
14 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107690654
Using a password manager will not save you if computer is compromised
It centralized all the data in a here:thing type way, if PC owned = fucked
Goal is to be "what a clusterfuck, fuck this" for anyone who does get into the system

There is no better solution to passwords than either doing what i said or doing diceware and keeping it on pen and paper. For crypto specifically, I recommend a trezor that stays disconnectsd from any networked computer.
>>
Option 1:
>write down the passwords (safe against digital attacks)
>leave a part of the password away (if your passwords get stolen, you have time to change them)

Option 2:
>Use Keepass (locally stored password manager, allowing you to make very diverse passwords)
>use a keyfile in addition to your password (so it's harder to steal by keyloggers)
>>
>>107690809
>Option 1
So I would make the password something like B00B13S
Then leave out the prefix B1G

Devs by own admission dont know how to use pgp anymore. They also go against the grain of the Tor Project and include ublock origin in TBB when that is stupidly fucking retarded

It isn't compromised in the sense its ran by feds, its compromised in the sense its ran by morons who unironically have no background or experience or respect for what tails is supposed to be or who the target audiance is fof a real, secure, system, they even go out of their way to make fun of the so called "privacy enthusiast", while trying at the same time trying to cite that the main usage of Tor is by domestic violence victims, like some 20 year old woman is going to boot up tails to avoid the network stalking on her boyfriend's wifi network. Just asininely insane stupid motherfuckers. The document on their wiki is called personas. It's stupid. The privacy enthusiast autist is the one who has no life but yet has the time to devot to making the product good, don't alienate him/her, and further, dont alienate anyone from Tor.

I second the suggestion to use whonix, also of note is QubesOS, as well as Knoppix, perhaps also you might find a virtual machine to fit your threat model.

I might start a fork of tails, but nobody wants to trust the new guy. But honestly this might have just pissed me off enough. I'll start rebase at the last point PGP keys were on the site, cherry pick up to master, remove ublock origin, match TBB to stock tor browser exactly by default, with heavy encouragment to set javascript.enabled to false, maybe add toggle to disable WASM, maybe add option to disable SVG, harden the network stack, ship a hardened genkernel. Does /g/ like this idea?

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
