Find out if the desktop computer you desire has included programs. You habit to know what they are. You dependence to know if it has a word processor or spreadsheet program that you will use. This is important to many for their work. Also, find out if the software included are full versions or demos. The demos expire after 30 or 90 days, which require you to buy the full versions yourself.

>You will currently not be able to access any v3 onion addresses, what is happening is unknown, but it is potentially a huge attack on the entire network. Earlier today I made a post outlining consequences I would be putting into place to deter markets from funding DDoS attacks against each other, as the potential to scale and completely kill every node on the network is a very real potential outcome. Now everything is down and I have no idea if this has sped up the process of this occurring or if it is even an attack at all, all I know is, this is big.

This allows v3 onion services to work even if the authorities fail to generate a consensus for more than 2 hours in a row. >>14580 That's true, but it's important to keep in mind that using Tor with anything other than the Tor Browser doesn't do much other than hide your IP for free and make your internet slower. If you want muh anonymity you need to have the same fingerprint as a lot of other people, which an official Tor browser does.
I do think it's kind of a shame that they chose Firefox to base it off of, but apparently they tried to get Jewgle to implement some stuff they would need in Chromium and failed.
>>14581 I'm not trying to hide my IP or be anonymous. I'm trying to bypass censorship and/or access onion sites that might have censored information. I frankly don't give a fuck if the feds know who I am. I'm not afraid of them, and if they fuck with me I'll kill them, because I got nothing to lose.
i would like to hear some real stories about tor usecases. theres nice talk about journalists and shit but all i see is a network that is primarily used for hiding drug markets and insane amounts of spamming on anything that has not yet blocked tor exits. never ever have i heard of cases where it is used for some "legit" purposes like by those journalists or chinese that are evading censorship. those are things that appear exclusively on the promo materials of the people who are behind this network.
and dont get me wrong, i have nothing against networks like this but there is lots of talk with absolutely no proof of it actually being used for the good things that the project people like to talk about
>>14584 This.
I only use TOR on imageboards and other dodgy websites where there's an actual risk of my IP being leaked/malicious assholes behind it (Just look at fucking 8chan for a shining example of the incompetence of the people running it and storing IPs for years). It does help if you don't want the owner of a website harassing you with your general geolocation or, if the person targeting you is sufficiently advanced, looking through DB breaches and comparing IPs.
Not to mention onion sites remind me of the old internet and having access to this normally hidden section yields some pretty interesting experiences and information.
>>14587 You aren't ever gonna hear people admitting to using TOR, especially not the public figures like Journalists or even government workers. Simply admitting to using it is a security risk, and if you're using it because of the country you're in, they won't be happy to learn about your activities. (China will make you disappear into the night, never to be seen again: Killed and ground into burger patties).

There is a criminal organization in Brazil using NSO Group's Pegasus to infect devices for hack for hire, to incite terrorism, blackmail people, produce illegal pornography and assist in assassinations. They also have other advanced malware, like UEFI implants and even persistent implants for Kindle and Raspberry Pi. Plus face/voice recognition on every camera and microphone they can get into, in public or private places.
Brazil won't do anything to stop them. Only the FBI, CIA and NSA can stop them.
There is also the possibility that they were engaged on the hack of Bezos' smartphone.
If you know of any security researcher who wants to reverse engineer the exploits they are using, I am more than willing to help them.
If you want a story about how they operate, I am willing to work with you to expose them.
So I used to swear by Thinkpads, and used to use Lenovos for a very long time. However, nowadays I have to second-guess any of my Thinkpad decisions.
Lately, all lenovos that I've been using (X and T series) seem to be super unreliable...physically. Things like the touchpad will start to wig out after some time (so I have to disable it in the firmware). I use the keyboard pretty often, and ever since IBM sold their Thinkpad line to lenovo, their keys tend to fall part from exhaustive usage. Touchscreen is also super unreliable after a year in that it will occasionally think that you're touching some part of the touchscreen.
If you're a heavy computer user, and don't want to be planning to buy a laptop once a year (Although, I think this is the average lifetime for a laptop). I'd really consider something else. If you're only browsing the web, you use an external mouse, and are okay with having to replace it in a bit. Then you're probably fine.
The big PC makers all have competent engineers and they occasionally will produce a good product, particularly for their top spec machine. For some reason people really latch onto this concept with Lenovo, but generally ignore other excellent pro grade hardware, notably from HP and Dell. I've worked with these three brands and have to say on average the HP are the best, followed by Dell, with Lenovo taking third.
You can certainly point to exceptions of this trend, and there's good and band from any group, but on average you'll pay more for less with Lenovo.
With all that shit talking out of the way, the idea that should be lauded is buying a top spec machine used rather than the walmart special garbage new. You can do this with practically any brand and come out ahead, especially when you figure that even if something needs to be replaced it won't break your budget.

Ok, people on here, help me. The pic is pretty unrelated, sorry for that, haven't found anything better on my pc, meh. I have been learning some programming and unix-stuff like 2 years ago, first I got into Soython, simply because it was the best option, at least in terms what I thought. Later I got into Webcringe, learning all kinds of JS-frameworks and PHP and later even Java. Recently I got into Common Lisp, C and proper Shell scripting. In these two years, I have written some tiny scripts, but nothing I would show something. I basically haven't done anything useful or something to be proud of so far. Am I really just too retarded? I am 14 atm, I know the rules, but this board is dead enough, as that I hope that it is ok for the mods, idk.
>>14493 >. People have lives outside of Imageboards and can't be here 24/7. BO wasn't around because rarely anybody posts here This.

it's cool that you even descended down the lisp/scheme route even. s-expression langs are good if you end up using emacs as you'll very quickly find yourself building small tools/code-snippets when customizing your editor. some modes of emacs are just uncomparably awesome when comparing to the other solutions that are out there.
nonetheless, it sounds like you're stuck on what to write that's useful so that you can further your experience. nowadays, everything is done through the http protocol, so it makes sense to write things that automate your interaction with it. C is starting to become an outdated language unless you need to be close to your processor or your target platform is not supported by the higher-level languages. If you want to go down the lower-level route, you can probably get more into kernel programming. For problems to solve in the lower-level space, consider tinkering around with kernel backdoors to start out.
As I mentioned, there's a lot of problems to solve within the spamming space, especially with the pervasiveness of social media. There's a number of platforms that are using APIs to allow users to collect information, but even you writing code to scrape a site for a particular user's comments which can useful to help tracking people down, or to manage a number of sockpuppet accounts has its own set of problems to solve.
Anything that automates yourself is exactly what coding is good for.

You need the quotes for it to work, but this is an acceptable method for searching for youtube videos from the terminal. I've also made a tool called ytsrx.sh that performs a search using youtube-dl from the command line behind torsocks. Forked from tubesearch. Available in the usual locations.
Once you download the webpage, search for video links like so:
$ grep "watch?v=" rc2014pg1.html

>>14525 The typing part isn't where the skill is. It's more about having deep knowledge about your computer, and being able to make it do whatever you want ALL BY YOURSELF. Today everyone relies on complicated, bloated, buggy OS, frameworks, libraries, compilers, and other grotesque frankenstein abominations. That means you are DEPENDENT on those to accomplish anything whatsoever. That means you can't actually program, much less use your computer without those. You simply don't have the necessary skills to live without them. Terry Davis tried to show you the way, but he failed. Now you're on your own, or rather just another slave to modern technology.
I have Tor Browser which runs its own Tor instance. I also have Tor explicitly installed on my Linux system. Should I start up and run the Tor service in addition to using the Tor Browser, even though I technically don't need to? Is this more secure and robust and, if so, why?

>>14153 Welp, I'm really scratching my head on this one.
1) The Mac gives me "Select CD-ROM Boot Type" error and while I keep reading 'lol, just hold 1 and press enter at the exact right time bro' I can't seem to press return at the correct time, the 1 bit works because it shows as the selection so at least in theory it should work. Will probably try this a hundred more times. 2) I can't seem to make a bootable usb from the guix iso, so installing on another system and just inserting the drive is a no. UNetbootin is normally a sure win but I'm getting nowhere.
>>14128 I am using Trisquel currently. It actually stalls for like 3-5 minutes every time I shutdown whilst it waits for all the systemd networking to hang itself. Not a comfy OS at all. Thankfully they switched to MATE though, because current GNOME is a fucking joke.
>>14155 Nah, it's a fairly common bug with no solutions. Besides, I hope to be transferring to the mac with guix and repurposing my desktop as an HTPC.
I'm at a stand still currently. The Mac must be in worse shape than I thought. I tried just using my current drive which is efi but no good. So I thought of trying a Mac osx install DVD, no good, still gives the bug. Basically, unless I can figure a way around this fucking bug, this thing is never going to boot anything.
Does anyone happen to know, is there anything different or special about the efi a Mac needs versus PC? I don't think so myself so I'm wondering if there is a problem with the drive cable in the Mac.
My other option is libreboot which would solve the disc bug but I need a r-pi or something to flash the board.

I'm on my OpenBSD computer running tor-browser from pkg_add in xenocara running fvwm. I've been running OpenBSD for about a week now, and it hasn't crashed yet. GNU/Linux on the other hand crashes 3-4 times per day forcing system restarts. I think I'll spend more time over on OpenBSD moving forward. I'll still be using Linux, because I have it set up where everything I use on a daily basis works (except for the crashing and lockups) and is at arm's reach, whereas OpenBSD has limitations for packages and drivers and leaves me without certain capacities. However for text based messaging (irssi, profanity, mutt, links2, etc) its probably the best all round platform to work off of / start with.
I don't trust the Linux ecosystem (Arch, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora Derivatives) or the Linux kernel anymore, and I want to work on old non-x86 hardware (Sparc, Alpha) when working on sensitive things. For watching TV on endstream, Linux is just fine, but for secure messaging it's not. I've lost interest in GNU/Linux... it's basically windows 98 tier in terms of stability and "Just trust me" in terms of security. My go forward plan is to migrate my servers to OpenBSD and proxy MS DOS or FreeDOS through an OpenBSD firewall/proxy/tor proxy machine.
I don't want multi-tasking on my main system. I only want to have to check 2-3 programs for issues and have 1 program active on stack memory (The program I'm currently using) not 200 process in the background. That's fine for a multi-user server, but doesn't make any sense for my security/privacy model. This means I will be mostly restricted to text mode applications, which is fine by me.
Winter Semester for school will be starting for me soon, so I'll be back to the grind again, bogged down by assignments, with limited time for development. I'll be spending my free time reading OpenBSD man pages and materials and doing system administration tasks. I'll be around but, as has been mentioned before, this board is unfortunately inactive and consists of more or less just me, and my occasional posts. If you guys want to start security threads about topics of interest to you feel free to do so.

To point out Grsecurity is violating a clause in the GPL, THE CENTRAL CLAUSE (share and share alike): is to be a mysoginist, woman-hating, girl loving, pedo.
So the FSF, SFConservancy, and LKML don't "go" there.
This is about which FOSS devs are making bank off of FOSS. There are TWO(2):
*Linus Trovalds *Bradly Spengler.
*Linus Trovalds is paid 1.3 million dollars per year likely under contract to forgoe the excercise a legal right he has: to sue violators of his copyright.
If he violated that agreement, (identified) third-party beneficiaries to that contract could attempt to seek to recovery of whatever liquidated damages are specified in that contract.
*Bradly Spengler simply adds a No-Redistribution clause to his linux-kernel patch. As he notes: the FSF and _SFConservancy_ all support him in this (it's 2020, he started doing it years ago, they have said nothing against him)

This is what drives the free-labour done. They then ban and delete any complaints about GPL violations, or stay silent and do not talk about them. The FSF and the Software Freedom Conservancy are the same, as Bradly Spengler notes:
>>LOL. " #GRSecurity violates both the Linux kernel's copyright and the #GCC #copyright by forbidding redistribution of the patches (in their Access Agreement): which are non-seperable derivative works...
The FSF and the SFConservancy and "Any Lawyer" believe that claiming that Grsecurity violates the GPL by restricting redistribution is a "unsupported bizzare claim" according to Bradly Spengler.
The FSF head does NOT use free software: he is an apple faggot. Same with the SFconservancy (who don't do anything anyway, much like the FSF).
The only thing they do is: 1) Effectively embezzle donations 2) Pay themselves 3) Pay women 4) Give terrible legal advice. 5) Ban anyone who discusses GPL enforcement.

>>14491 >but no one imposes them on me or publicly recommend taking this or that stance in any matter, let alone non-technical ones Why does that matter to you that much though? They can't really stop you from using it how you wish even if they want to.
>None of them is associated with any (((large corporation))). Same point as above. Also (assuming the language becomes successful) I'm pretty sure most corporate languages will split from the main branch.
While I will admit there are probably more sjws bitching in languages like Go and Rust, I don't think languages like C or Lisp are free from that either. Ada, pascal, and perl maybe, but that's because there are less things written in those languages for people to bitch about.
It's also a losing game in the long run since you're depending on SJWs being distracted by shiny new toys. The moment you have something very popular written in pascal you'll have SJWs interested in it.
>free of AIDS do you mean political shit you dislike or technical cruft? I'll admit I've heard good things about Ada (and pascal's probably fine), but
> Perl is a good dynamic scripting language that can do all that Python or Ruby can, and has a huge number of libraries. Perl is well known for having unreadable code. And considering python is a lot more popular it probably has more libraries.
>No need to give reasons for C and Lisp. I think C is good but I would really only use for shit that's simple and fast. Anything else would probably invite problems.
I've heard common lisp is fine, but again,
>They aren't good, however, to make dumbed-down software or easily integrate with botnets, which are the most common things in software today. The rest of the points were fair but I don't get this. Why wouldn't you want your software to be usable for others? If it's at the sake of functionality that's a problem, but you make it sound like software that's difficult to use is a good thing. If all I need to do is simple shit, even if I'm smart enough to figure out how to use your shit why would I waste time learning something that I could have done in much less time?
I don't care what the reason is there's only one serviceable implementation of these languages. I simply don't like using any kind of software where one particular group has leverage over everyone else. This wasn't so bad back in the 80's, because the software was so simple that if they tried to pull some shit, you could just write your own equivalent from scratch. But today most software is extremely complicated, and so are the toolchains. Which brings us to that other question: "Why wouldn't you want your software to be usable by others?" Well the answer is simple: I only care about my needs. Thus, I can choose whatever languages I wish and use any kind of interfaces that work best for me. Plus my code will never be distributed anywhere, as they're just projects I do for fun or to fulfill some personal needs. This might sound weird to you, but to me it's completely natural. When I was growing up and got to play with computers (early 80's), we didn't have Internet or even a modem (first time I used a modem was ~ 1992-93). You wrote stuff for the hell of it because it was fun, and then your code sat on cassette tapes, floppy disks, or sometimes even just a printout or written down by hand (because some computers I used back then didn't even have a storage device). Maybe times have changed, but I haven't. In fact, none of the modern software or games interests me whatsoever.
>>14496 >I don't think languages like C or Lisp are free from that either Lisp is full of faggots, but of a different kind, mostly harmless. Nothing in this world is free from the grips of Satan anon. Insanity is everywhere. There is a group called "Include CPP" whose goal is "a more welcoming and inclusive C++ community", organized by literal Jews and trannies. (How can that even work in practice, considering the nature of C++?) This is not on C++'s official website, not in the ISO Committee, not in any technical documents, not a CoC. It's not associated with the language itself, that's fine, just some mentally ill men and useful idiots doing their things. >there are less things written in those languages for people to bitch about >The moment you have something very popular written in pascal you'll have SJWs interested in it. They aren't popular because no (((large corporation))) sponsors, funds or endorses them. Ada or Pascal cannot become popular today. They don't save typing and don't allow you to use advanced Pajeet coding techniques such as doing everything as lambda expressions. They are not appropriate for the type of shit software that is made nowadays. >Why does that matter to you that much though? >do you mean political shit I mean political shit, regardless of what I dislike or like. Consider what would happen if for example PHP's website had "White Pride" banners on it, or some of its key people openly advocated Nazism in technical contexts. >Perl is well known for having unreadable code It's been part of an old culture. It was influenced by Shell script and uses lots of punctuation that can be hard to understand from the outside.

Linux is a meme operating system for meme people, literally everyone I know that considers themselves a "serious Linux user" is either completely retarded or just a living Reddit-Meme on legs with an extra bit of cancer on top. Why do freeshits think they're hot shit for using an unusable and unmaintainable piece of shit and getting on everyone's nerves with it?
>>14409 Oh wait, it looks like that libp11-kit is a freedesktop.org/gnome framework bullshit. No wonder Lynx is bloated now! They only make shitty bloated crap. I would eradicate all that junk off my computers if I could do it easily. Of course that's impossible because Firefox uses that junk.
Gotta be honest with ya, I hate the Archidiots who shove Loonix all over the place. They ruin it for everybody. Arch is a meme OS or at the very least something you use to tinker for fun.
For my own usage I would rather use Ubuntu or Debian since they're actually usable. Windows 10 is even worse, at least it works but the amount of shit it does by itself just makes everything slow down to a crawl. I would rather be able to use my machine than follow some retard thinking using monopolyOS is somehow beneficial to me.
Where does the idea come from that GUI's are "bloat" and exist for normalfags? I'm not going to poison this question with speculation, assumptions, or theories and will just wait for your perspectives.
>>14539 Before Win95 came along, pretty much everyone had the choice to use GUI or not. DOS computers with 640 KB or less were very common, and capable enough to do most office tasks, like word processing, spreadsheets, and whatnot.
My aunt had an old Amstrad PC1512 that she used through most of the 90's to do all her stuff, including Internet. This particular model had 512 KB RAM, two 5.25-inch floppy drives, and a 2400 baud modem. Also it had a nice dot matrix printer that she used to print letters, and (postal) mailing lists, and other stuff. This was a perfectly adequate setup for all her tasks, because--get this--everything including the Internet at the time was mostly text-oriented!
In fact, if you really wanted to, you could have just as well used an 8-bit computer for all that stuff back then. You didn't even need graphics at all, and most of the early CP/M computers that could run WordStar didn't have any graphics. Like, if you wrote a byte to the video memory, you'd get a character on the screen. And IBM PCs themselves didn't necessary have a graphics card either.
