What's the dumbest thing you ever did to your computer anons? Obviously we all know much better now, but I know you've got a story tucked away somewhere about that time you deleted system32 because that nice internet man told you it would make your computer run faster. Or that time you removed the french language pack after getting your shiny new Ubuntu install up and running. Hit me with 'em, let's have a laugh and relive the days when we had to get the family PC running again before dad got back from work.
>>107681970posted my face numerous times on 4chan and discord when i was growing up. still need to get those selfies out of the archive but theyre probably in some LLM training data already . a smart LLM could easily dox me and find an insane amount of embarrassing things ive said/done online
Gave my Bitwarden password to a friend because I was planning on committing suicide, decided not to, and 2 years later got one of my accounts stolen by that same friend after we'd fallen out because I forgot I did that.Also accidentally installed a virus because I blindly trusted the first google result for an obscure printer software. Not proud of either of those.
>>107682032I did this with WoW on a site that was, on the surface, a clone of their WotLK beta test application site. Some chink scammer used my account to do some farming, sold some mats I wanted to sell anyway, and had gotten me gkicked. By the time I recovered my account after waking up that evening (lol), there was a little more gold in it than when I had logged off last and I had to get a new ginvite. I don't know how I fell for that site, I have never been gotten by anything like that before or since, and the opportunities have been in the hundreds probably.
>>107682032this, many kids grew up and got fucked by the steam fishing shit. i knew it was a bad idea as well, deep down inside you feel it, but you ignore the danger (probably due to lack of exposure). I learned a valuable lesson that day, hopefully I don't need to learn another.

how much slop is acceptable /g/?
>>107680919>totalnuka cola mfr decides to have ai manage the plants. ai finds insufficient quantity of cola for next month, overabundance of nuka. decides make 50% nuka beverage - which kills the enjoyer. demand drops due to population decrease, continued nuka shipments cause increase in overabundance, ai raises nuka content to 100%. maybe some shit like that
>>107680732it can't possibly be any worse than enjeetification of software over the last ~15 years
>>107680957This, it's just the way it worked before. Nothing changed.Pay a jeet 200 rupees a month = 100% slop Pay a jeet $ 300K a month = 0% slopJust don't be poor

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?

On the topic of privacy. What browser should I use?I've noticed that the content of random pages, even 4chan pages, and the things I type anywhere in the web browser are being tracked. Youtube shows me recommendation based on that. It's disturbing and it wasn't like that before.I'm using Firefox right now with strict protection and ublock. Should I switch to librewolf? I don't understand why doesn't arch have it in the default repositories.

>>107674569they have to soder those chips directly next to the processor, it's expensive. you get what you pay for.
>>107678733they can't lose billions of dollars every year forever, they also need to build nuclear power plants or there will be not enough electricity to power up gigawatt manhattan-sized data centers they are building right now. the majority of ai users are indians and they don't want to pay $200 every month for an ai subscription.the ai bubble burst is going to happen

Why is it considered unethical to download first and last pieces first?
>>107673437I always turn on first and last and sequential if I'm downloading video
>>107673437It's perfectly ethicalJust like seeding to a 0.0 ratio unless there's five people sitting there leeching and you're the only one who has the data, in which case I'll seed for an extended time to make up for my sins against filesharing
>>107673437I do that, I also do sequential downloads for my animu. If the swarm is healthy it'll work out, if not, or majority counts have some custom client that doesn't let me do that, then it will download randomly anyway.BitTorrent is quite durable as a protocol.
>>107673437it's not. ethically, all that matters if share ratio >1.0.
>>107673437First and last allows for file format metadata to be available as soon as possible, as that's usually where formats store it. I'll say that it was more useful in the past with slow connections, where you could get very limited quick previews of media files before downloading the rest of it.>considered unethicalBy whom?

Get a kneeling chair or another kind without a backrest. The whole paradigm of the chair in the OP image is for fat husky americans named Robert
