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).

da fuq happen to image boards? How Did We Get Here? 11/11/2025 (Tue) 11:38:48 No.3699 [Reply]

Seems like suddenly we're not allowed to talk about anything but memes and lolcow drama. Is this what image boards are for anymore? Is there nowhere one can JUST BE COMFY AND REAL, without having to embroil themselves in venomacidic middle-school popularity contests like Big Social? Is there nowhere online not full of either normalfaggots and normgroids and their niggerworship and troondicksucking and homosacredcows where roastiefoids can do no wrong and brainless consoomer-cattledom, OR the even worse retardautismal alternative: socially dysfunctional emotionally undisciplined mentally handicapped unironic politislop obsessors keyboard warrior transnazi cowardly bitches never shutting the fuck up about da j00z (but desert tribemonkey yeshua isnt a ded kike onna stick, somehow he doesnt count, herp durr; leta ignore all the Bible like no swearing etc by only focus on Leviticus gaybashing drooling donkey diarrhea, lets larp that wypipo wuz kangz DA tr00 israelites lelelele) and crying about much degeneresseh despite spamming drawn naked Japanese people and lolicon ecchi with somehow doesnt count as cheese pizza ("drawings aren't people hurr durr" "well then photos and videos aren't people either derpderp; pedoadjacents are so fucking cute in their mental gymnastics, their one and only exercise roflcoptar") unironic bootlicking collectivist hiveminded wannabe tyrants who never intend to follow the same arbitrary and capricious might makes right rules and laws they crave imposing upon everyone else because theyr e frightened little girls who need a sweaty leather daddy to bark orders at them their whole life (not gay at all lmao) due to extreme terror and dread of having to make your own decisions in life because youre a scare whimpering sniveling fagcunt who can't handle freedom and self-determination and anything that isnt bootlicking authority simping groupthink addiction is "lolbert" and by the way why aren't you wearing your mask antivaxxer? Is there anywhere in the whole wide world, not just online, where you can just be comfy and real without having to obey antiwhite judencommies wearing dangerhair and problemglasses and if youre even slightly right of Marx/Mao/Lenin/Stalin youre banhammered for hatespeech? Anywhere at all i can speak gamer words and its not a big deal or even a thing at all? Anyplace left that isnt an insular anticulture antisociety anticivilization of lobotomized cockroach farts with downs syndrome and alzheimers? Must I give up on communicating with other humans entirely? Must I surrender to complete hikki isolation because there is no longer a place for me to just be myself like image boards and other "geek" communities used to be before Second September and The Great Awokening? And you wonder why anonymous culture is dead, going over the top toxic intentionally Coldsteel edgelord niggetry in terror or le normiez until you push out all the good posters too, until all that is left is ASP malignant narcissistic spergerkwayne snobelitist shitpeople at the very bottom of social value and negative charisma contributing nothing but negativity and being a waste of space. Shitpeople like you. Good job.

>>3715 If the N word is so toxic, why do N use it? Answer: it's just another way to get the sheep used to the concept of privilege based on identity. Whitey can't say it, nigga bro can. The fact that the privilege is assigned to a formerly oppressed group (Africans have plundered Europe for centuries, but apparently the tally starts with American cotton fields, whatever) is even worse because you peddle also collective responsibility. The same concept that enabled nazi, commie, jewish, islamic atrocities.

I don't personally mind 'privilege based on identity'. After all White are statistically superior on practically ever metric -- on average -- above other races. I'm sure it was genetic selection based primarily on our environmental hardships (and our adaptations to them) over the past 40-50 thousand years. >tl;dr We've earned our 'specialness' in general. Untold millions of us died during these prehistoric struggles for survival. We deserve the benefits of that. First and foremost among these benefits being our freedom of association...we all have the right to be among our own people, alone, as we each see fit to. Access to White people is not a basic human right. Clearly this made up agenda about the 'nigger' word is a kike gayop intended to attack us , the Whites, by "validating" feral chimpouts by these subhumans at sounds coming out of one race's mouths. Yet another bioweapon attack against us all. ---

>>3728 I think that's facile. The truth is, we had anonymity and privacy in the dial-up Internet. Your modem would dial your ISP over the phone and there were not normally logs. It'd hand you a currenlty unused IP address and you were off to the races. This was back when the newsmedia had pages that accepted comments from the public and didn't require you to make an account and show ID and dox yourself before you could comment on the outrage of the day. You could go to Usenet with a pseudonym and speak truth to the whole (connected) world. But the normies didn't like it. The normies didn't like having to diddle with .ini files to get Trumpet Winsock to work so that Windows 3.1 could talk to the modem. They didn't like having to do stuff from a command line. They didn't like it a bit. It required too much abstract thought and it made their brains hurt. Thirty years ago, as now, only a tiny, tiny minority of people online had any interests in anything that you or I would consider important. They just wanted to gossip about muh sportsball and muh Hollywood and muh teevee. It wasn't hard at all for the Powers that Be, not all of whom wear a kippeh, to lead them by the nose away from the freedom and privacy they never really wanted in the first place. The normies love their little concrete pens. They get to gossip about muh sportsball and buy muh Funko Pops without ever having to do anything requiring more effort than turning on the magic box. They're as happy as pigs in shit. The government says "You have to show ID to talk on the Internet," and they nod along. Well, ya have to show ID to buy liquor, and ain't this just the same? We gotta do it for thuh childrenz! THUH CHILDRENZ! And this will protect ya from MUH TURRORISMS! Why don'tcha wanna show ID and dox yourself before you can criticize the government? Ya some kinda weirdo? All it took was a few little nudges. Nudge, nudge, nudge. It was just a few little subtle adjustments to the path the normies already chose. The problem ain't "the Jews," fren. It's us. It's all of us. It's all our fault.

No don't misunderstand me, I'm not attributing to these diseased gypsy morons the kind of wisdom needed to "Nudge, nudge, nudge" the world into their own damnation & destruction. Only their father the fallen angel Satan could do that. But the simple fact remains that they are his cheif shabbos golems to pull off just such a sequence over 100's of years and generation after generation of NPCs to follow along, willingly letting these demonic wretches put steel hooks through their jaws. >tl;dr There is no political solution.

>>3626 The US government CREATED IT in the first place, you dense motherfucker. TOR was created by the NSA as a tool for "dissidents" (read: CIA assets) in "repressive countries" (read: places that have our oil underneath them) to allow them to "communicate" (read: receive information from their handlers without getting pwned by a FARAJA black-bag team). 70%+ of TOR nodes belong to the NSA. They built it. All traffic on it passes through Fort Meade. All traffic on it is monitored. ALL OF IT. TOR is of the US Deep State's spook shops, by the US Deep State's spook shops, and for the US Deep State's spook shops. Any other uses to which it is put are strictly coincidental and orthogonal to its intended purpose. You want to use it for anything else? When using it behave as though the Feds were looking over your shoulder and taking notes, because they are. See also, Silk Road. If you insist upon being niggerlicious on government servers, don't be shocked at what happens next.

ded bord, but will ask anyway: Having trouble with an alias to auto-convert all webp's (into the folder I toss all my saved images into before manually moving them, if I ever do) into png's followed by deleting the original webp's: 'cd ~/Pictures/Memes/ && mogrify -format png *.webp && find . -name *.webp -type f -delete && cd ~' It USED to work, but for no discernible reason (don't remember exactly when this started) it no longer deletes the old webp's. It instead throws up errors like: >find: paths must precede expression: ?>`Screenshot_20251206-094014.webp' >find: possible unquoted pattern after predicate `-name'? Too tech illiterate to know how to proceed from here. Should I be using something other than find?

Anonymous 12/13/2025 (Sat) 11:48:39 No.3707

>>3706 >Should I be using something other than find? Near as I can tell the expression: find . -name *.webp is valid. AKA < worksonmybox(tm) I'd look for the problem in another part of the overall command. You can just look at the outputs (possibly filtering with grep) to check each step. As to why it doesn't work now, I dunno. Maybe an update broke something? Good luck.

Once upon a time you could easily only load a page and not the frame it's a part of. So easy, just a right-click. But now it's impossible to do a simple thing. Nothing in a traditional search engine tells me how to do it with modern browsers (of course, they're useless for finding information anymore) and my usually reliable method of using a chat AI... didn't work this time. I hate the modern Web, I hate modern Internet/computers/phones/digital/analog, I hate the antichrist.

I've had some luck by avoiding AI myself. Apple (of all companies) has my current support - older phones don't support Apple Intelligence and it's easy enough to turn Siri off. This is short reprieve as it's being used for coding, and every app will have it's own chatbot at some point too... But I'm thankful their failure to keep up has bought me some time. I've picked up a few non-tech hobbies because I'm not interested in funding this insanity, and rebalanced my 401K so it's not going to the "magnificent seven." Even if boycotts don't work I can say this nonsense wasn't my fault.
