Welcome to /tech/ THE RULES: 1. Please spoiler all porn and gore 2. Talk about something actually related to /tech/nology 3. Have fun! Required reading http://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm Beginner Info If you would like to try out GNU/Linux because of https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html, you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine (preferably using KVM or Oracle VirtualBox for newfriends). 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything (keep in mind that the performance of live distros might be very different than from distro that was booted from your HDD, as most distros are loaded in RAM and don't include the proprietary drivers for NVIDIA GPUs or up-to-date Mesa libraries in their isos). 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows (make sure to install Windows first, as it can "replace" GRUB or other UNIX bootloaders, and troubleshooting of Windows replacing your bootloader of choice might be painful for people that just started learning about the Linux kernel) 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux (you really shouldn't do this, if you don't know what you're putting yourself into, see: https://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.the.desktop.current.html).

The fact you cannot post on 4chan literally by any other means than a regular IP address is proof Anonymous 10/05/2024 (Sat) 13:42:15 No.3604 [Reply]

It's a motherfucking honeypot. I even was able to post briefly on my nameless vpn for about a week before it was blocked. Even if I don't get "Your IP has been rangebanned due to abuse" I will either get a 429 or "connection error" after hitting submit for a comment. They know you're attemping to circumvent your regular IP, there is no way to fucking use that site anonymously. Before any faggots come in saying there is without saying how go fuck yourself deep in your asshole.

FOSS SJW Blacklist Anonymous 09/22/2019 (Sun) 07:25:12 No.219 [Reply] [Last]

The recent shitstorm about Stallman revealed more bad actors within the Linux/FOSS community and as developers and users we should fight to regain the civilization we built with our blood and tears from the encroachment of destructive "cancel culture" madmen.

We need to start by making of list of organizations and projects that are thoroughly infested with the rot. Avoid contributing effort and support to them and eventually they will crumble inwards as internecine group politics is no replacement for hard technical knowhow.

I'll start by listing a few:

Red Hat/IBM (Fedora, Centos)
Debian
Ubuntu
GNOME
PulseAudio (Red Hat/IBM)
SystemD (Red Hat/IBM)
LibreOffice
Mozilla

Is there any legitimacy to this claim that OpenMandriva's President is stating they are anti-DIE, or is it simply more posturing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1AWos_zm6o I can't find anything explicitly stating this on their site: https://www.openmandriva.org/ cf. the likes of AntiX, which is blatantly clear about the fact they are swalloping all the pozz.

jmp has a relay to wider phone protocol, meaning the possibility of xmpp taking over is real. I think it's one of the most interesting services to date.

>>3594 >tor is a honeypot. Simply not true. But you have to understand the nature of the protocol, recognize the communities -- both good & evil -- surrounding it's use, and plan accordingly. For the sweet spot of it's proper use, it simply can't be beat.

>>3595 I agree. The NSA already has everything on the internet recorded. We need something new, at the very least they will have to spend billions more on cracking the alternative. Something decentralized and encrypted by design, like crypto but for regular internet. If bitcoin and other crypto can't be cracked, then that's what the new internet should be.

Anonymous 10/07/2024 (Mon) 21:06:10 No.3614

>>3595 I'm shocked nobody mentioned I2P. That's what I2P is. It's like Tor but internal only, everyone is a node by default, and you can torrent. If you mean low level connections between computers stuff, that's what the Yggdrasil Network is. IP addresses are replaced by keys you control that can be represented as IPv6 addresses. You connect bunch of computers and the network automatically forms. It works just fine over the current Internet too. i2pd, an implementation of I2P directly supports Ygg mesh networking. So if you had to start a network like you describe from scratch, Ygg+I2P can do it already now.

I'm also dumping a list of darknet chans. Since small chans come and go, nomad anons must keep a chans.txt fresh so we never become lost. Reply if you know other chans. Since Tor users can't post files, I made a tiny I2P torrent with the text file. An opportunity for you to try: 9bd4e1ec015ec5632c84f6e168bd046d4a2ec7a3

literally no reason to use an encrypted email service unless your end user is also using that service, even then protonmail can still read your messages and has cooperated with law enforcement. If you want true privacy you need to be anonymous. Use a burner email on a vpn or tor, use pgp in that even if you're trying to go super crazy.

Recently I noticed slashdot was still around. But they have taken away the ability to create new accounts. So it is just a one way advertising platform that doesn’t want your input. Maybe the people still posting there are mostly robots.

>>3451 I used to be on a shitload of mailing lists. Over the past ten years every last one of them shut down. Some of them moved to Faceberg or Twatter, some of them just... never sent me anything else again. I am not making an account so that I can get tracked every time I want to read an article about powder metallurgy, or a waifu sex story, or whatever I'm in the mood for that day.
