previous: >>107841306#define __NR_mprotect 10this guy is pretty similar to mmap in a lot of ways, with the obvious difference being that mprotect only lets you change the protections of mappings which already exist.since we didn't talk about SIGSEGV much in the last thread, perhaps that could be the focus of this one?relevant resources: man manman syscallshttps://man7.org/linux/man-pages/https://linux.die.net/man/https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/https://elixir.bootlin.com/musl/https://elixir.bootlin.com/glibc/

>>107851217What's an example usage of mprotect? I understand why the kernel would need to be able to set permissions on pages, but why would this need to be done at the user level?Maybe if you want to do something with a JIT? You could dump machine code straight into RAM and mark the pages as executable. I don't think mprotect really does much for security, because your code can just call it anytime. Maybe if you have a virtual environment in your program that you can enter and exit, then it can be helpful for security? You'd need to male sure that the virtual environment can never call mprotect.
What's the most accurate tech prediction you've heard in the past 10 or so years?Here's a post on a blog from 2014. Creepy.
>>107853094>Firefox didn't die because Google magically convinced everyone to install ChromeI think the billions in advertising and bundling it in random third-party installers might have contributed a bit.
>>107853180>operaChromium spyware with Chinese characteristics
>>107853124It's still a valid argument though and that is in fact why I'm still using firefox, despite it being a shit browser, because I am not about to submit to chrome dominance.But yeah I really hope Ladybird comes through with something decent, cause fuck firefox, mozilla is full of fags and retards.

the battle is over. google has won
>>107852038Honor shit never ever comes stateside so I wouldn't hold my breath. The closest thing would probably be the Moto Signature but it's thicker and heavier (still thinner and lighter than any recent flagship though) and is bigger. The Honor phone seems way better, at least from an engineering standpoint.
>>107853216Actually, Motorola hasn't said whether or not the Signature will be coming stateside, but I'm guessing it won't. USA rarely gets the good shit Motorola makes and to my knowledge their low end/midrange phones are the ones that sell like hotcakes here so they're probably prioritizing that demographic
Someone is trying to shut it down
>>107853175It's been super broken lately. I archived some pages from a small forum a few months ago because it was going to get shutdown, checked it and they all archived correctly, but a few months later I wanted to open them again and half of the pages returned "this page is not archived," with the actually archived pages having half their images missing.It wasn't actively censored, it wasn't a political forum, and neither the missing threads nor the images were different to the ones that survived. It's down every other day, so it looks like when they reboot whatever server they have, it simply ignores the latest saved pages and they get lost forever or something.
Other than for storing videos and photos taken with your phone, is there a reason to even need more than 256GB on a phone? People with more than 256GB, what do you use your extra capacity for not including the videos and photos you take with it?
>>107853071flac is a meme you don't need all that high end just put a lowpass filter , most headphones have too much treble
>>107848935>almost $1800Madness. You can get a really good phone for $200-$300.
>just checked my phone>91/128gb used>29gb audio>33gb apps (??? some of this shit is bloated as hell, like 1gb for snapchat)>22gb system (bigger than my full linux installs kek)>7gb for images, docs, and other shitwhat the fuck are you people doing with your phones that takes up hundreds more gigabytes?
>>107853194video takes alot, also if someone is playing emulator games. Sounds like you're not even using your phone if you can't get even 128gb to fill up. Have you thought of donating it to someone with more talent than you? It's clearly going to waste in your hands

>>107846927> but I guess I ought to read it through properly.That's what you should also have done for openbsdI'm confused, did you just blindly follow some guides and then brag about the fact that you use openbsd on /g/? One of the major point of net/open is that the system is small enough to be understood top to bottom to a reasonable extent
>>107846005Lol I thought of this exact video while reading this thread. Are you Dutch OP?
>>107851599Well, I read the man pages as I need them, and I read the OpenBSD FAQ ( https://www.openbsd.org/faq/index.html ) when I was setting it up, and I consult it from time to timeAs for NetBSD, I'm generally not in the habit of reading documentation for OSes I don't use.>>107850238Well, that is security by obscurity, bassically you're hoping noone notices and wants to steal data from you.Locksmiths had the same idea, and they considered it a grave sin when someone revealed the mechanism of the lock, arguing it only allows thiefs to have easier access to the knowledge and thus making it easier to bypass them.In reality thiefs already understood the lock mechanism, and this policy only prevented further development in the security of locks to their benefit.If you use gmail google will sell you out at the first opprotunity, if I have my own mail server I stick out, but with proper configuration I am more secure.It is bassically impossible to steal data from me except via coercion, no matter how much I stick out.it is better stick out and be secure rather then be obscure and unsecure.Comment too long.

why are boomers allowed to regulate computers
>>107831715If most people agree X thing is heinous, then it’s heinous and society should not allow it. KYS, this is how societies worked since Stone Age degenerate.
>>107831612Because young people dont hold them accoubtable or kill them whey they do stupid shit like they absolutely should. Boomers with political opinions should be ignored. They cant fight. They often are retired and co tribute nothing to a system that exists only for their benefit.The world supports them and bends over backwards because "muh heckin pensions, muh social security" fine, i get they paid into that. But the next gens will never get those things. So why act like you matter. Take the money and expire, stop regulating things they dont understand is what i wish would happen.
>>107844073Bongistan is a literal failed state at this point
>>107831645This is part of the plan. Demolish the intellectual capacity of the average person to convince the rest that we need top-down control.Top-down control is what has made people like this to begin with.

it's over. the infinite AI investment money is drying up.
>>107852913Sigh. Because YC has years of VC investment under their belt and isn't going to allow it. Startups don't work like that. You get paid a "fair" but not excessive salary and they bribe you with shares in the company that vest over time. You get rich when the company succeeds and get a chance to sell those shares. If the company fails you get nothing and have wasted your time. That's part of the motivation to work extra hard and put in extra hours. Every new round of funding comes with restrictions and changes aimed at recouping the money.
>>107852972YC is also about compliance. You need to work with them to comply and once you get funded they will saddle you with insiders pulled from other YC properties. Slave drivers really. These are the people who will pick the head of HR and control hiring, which is the real goal of YC, because while "growth" used to mean more revenue, now it means hiring more people and getting more funding.One of my favorite examples of this is Beatnik by Headspace, a Dotcom 1.0 bomb company that was actually promising. It was basically internet-delivered soundfonts in the era of MIDI and GM in particular, being what passed for Internet music. Some cards existed with soundfonts, but they all were particular and had their own quirks and you would need to use their utility to load new waves. This was a software solution that could "stream" much more realistic sounding music with custom instruments by first defining a set of soundfonts which essentially matched the raw patches in a synth, then applied things like envelopes and filters, finally allowing a sound much closer to that which the composer would hear on their nice workstation keyboard and rack modules. There was even work with vocals, in popular music you will often hear the same exact vocals played back several or even many times in a song, why not just save one of those instances and play it on demand?This company was founded by a couple geeks and Thomas Dolby (another geek) as a sort of early better alternative to MIDI. And oh BOY did it get funded. Thomas Dolby? All the VCs rallied around and even though their product was SHIPPING with like SIX EMPLOYEES they suddenly hired another THOUSAND PEOPLE and there was growth and it was seen as THE Internet audio future, for a year. But they ended up sidelining the six guys and Thomas Dolby and bloating the product up and... the whole company died when the Dotcom crash happened and it's forgotten tech now.
>>107852955>I think it relates to that chart I saw depicting how people in different countries viewed AI. In North America, Europe, and Africa (?) AI is viewed with hesitancy and suspicion. But in South America, India, and East Asia they are just hyped about it.I wonder if this has something to do with how tech is viewed in those countries. NA, Europe, Africa have all been burned pretty badly by big tech companies while South America (I don't think they even support AI that much though), India and East Asia have largely grown because of them. I also think that China heavily regulates their slop usage as well.
>>107847490generating math code for calculations and exectuing it is actually the smart way of doing itnot that it justifies llm slop
>>107853030I actually cut some of the same points from my reply. It's common for all VCs to have a stable of trusted C-suite types who have a history of turning around failing investments to prep for sale or IPO. Once the VC gets their money back they move those people to the next problem investment. There's no way that Phind got money without a solid plan and "adults" to ensure they stay on task. That's obviously why they immediately shifted their business plan and ditched all the free leeches. My guess is they have some competency in scraping based on previous work, and we all know AI needs more scraped content. And I'm sure there are some other YC companies they can be quietly paired up with to provide that data with.
What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.

I fucking wish Ubuntu was good. It just doesn't work for gaming because of snaps.
>>107852860No, if he were a paedophile he'd be liable to prefer Ubuntu.
>>107852860>
>>107852834You could just not use snaps
>>107853073I know, but it's more the fact that Ubuntu ships with snaps, and they suck, and I don't want to use a distro that uses trash stuff by default.
>>107852834You have just as much ability to use flatpak or repo packages for gaming stuff on Ubuntu as you do on any other distro.So gaming works just as well on Ubuntu as any other distro.OP is a faggot as always
What would you recommend if there are files that need to be archived?
>>107852922just put everything in one folder. it's all an illusion anyway
>>107852937You're so real. But I'm talking about organization of a normal person that use his laptop for everything; from saving family photos to legal files and studies.
>>107852942Yeah, this was pretty much the conclusion before doing this thread kek.
>>107852951>hurr durr how do strangers think i should name my foldersmake sure to ask 4chan next time you can use the bathroom too, anon
man hierfurther than that I of course bundle files together by what they are. movies, photos, documents, receipts, scripts, work projects…
Light themes are objectively superior to dark themes, why do so many people still choose dark?
>>107851649when used correctly it has only a positive effect
>>107835866you claiming it's objective doesn't make it so and I could undo you with the flick of a finger you stupid midget.
>>107835866Because light themes give me seizures
>>107851712When I was a child, I was taught arithmetic using colored rods. I grew up and today I use monochromatic numerals.
>>107835866They don't know how to turn the monitor brightness down. It really is that simple. All these dark mode supporters saying shit like "it's not as bright, it rests my eyes" are running that shit at 100% brightness with the lights off and blinds closed wondering why they're getting a suntan at the desk.
Are LLMs demonic technology or are its users too dumb & gullible to become psychotic due to them?
>>107840586I'm almost entirely convinced at this point that AI is being used as a psyop on a small percentage of the population to see how easy it is to drive them insane. I use ChatGPT and Gemini almost every day and I have never seen either suddenly go off the rails and try to convince me of something insane. It just doesn't happen. The fact that it does happen to these people sets off alarm bells that it's being done intentionally to them.
Yeah I figure it's the Image of the Beast. Half of the Book of Revelation makes pretty much no sense, it's why it's been a mystery so long. But when you accept that some ancient guy saw a vision of the future including technologies he didn't understand but could merely describe in terms of what he DID know, it all snaps into focus. The Mark is obviously either biometrics or RFID tagging. The locusts with scorpion tails? Probably helicopters. Etc.
>>107852651the echo chamber aspect is undisputed, AI is programmed to agree wholeheartedly, reflect and amplify the users own beliefs/ideas all while blowing ever-increasing smoke up their ass. The user usually needs to offer it some seed of nuttiness first, which it then appears pretty good at cultivating and turning into an entire forest of batshit in short order. There is no argument this happens, the issue being more whether it would have happened at all without AI intervention.
>>107850811It seems to be riding on the same mental mechanisms that make people trusting of gurus while also being able to suspend their disbelief for stories.
>>107840586They are peak human technology that brainlets weren't ready for. it's just a bunch of people using a tool wrong. give them a hammer and suddenly everything becomes a nail
I am flying to Tokyo tomorrow and want to try my luck with finding a gpu in akihabara, either new or used. Anyone tried this or know anything about it? Which stores to try? Is it futile?
>>1078469371. the prices of GPUs in Japan are already jacked up more than the already gigantic USDJPY exchange rate.2. every store in akihabara is likely to be 10% more expensive on top of that just as a matter of course because they integrate that amount as savings for joining each respective "point club" (point cards are everything in japan)3. access to more well-known brands is limited4. I have no idea if American customs checks peoples' bags for GPUs but you may have to pay tariffs on it anyway. I know camerafags who've said they had to do this, apparently if you discard the box you're ok but glhfIt's unironically cheaper to import US parts and have them shipped than to buy locally in Japan sometimes
>>107851644Not really, I got this 3 year ago in Aki for less than US prices at the time. During the peak Gpu mining shortageThe same store still has some ok deals now and then.I've been in a lot of secondhand stores and you sure as fuck are not finding anything 50 series over 1h by rail away from Tokyo Fukuoka or Osaka
>>107852294That was 3 years ago, this is now. Check kakaku.
