This is a thread for releases, bug reports, and other discussion for the hydrus network software. The hydrus network client is a file-management application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large file collections. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. If they wish, users can easily share tags anonymously through a public server. Everything is free, no ads, and privacy is the first concern. If you have 10,000+ files and cannot find anything, hydrus might help! I am the hydrus developer. I am continually working on the software and try to put out a new release every Wednesday by 8pm EST. Past hydrus imageboard discussion, and these generals as they hit the post limit, are being archived at >>>/hydrus/ . Hydrus is powerful, complicated, and messy. It is not for everyone. If you would like to learn more, please check out the extensive help and getting started guide here: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/

What does /t/ think about GNOME?

Microsoft has been giving people every reason to abandon Windows since they first announced Recall. And now it's real. >proprietary AI >stores 50 fucking gigabytes of unfiltered screenshots, taken seconds apart >only on shitty snapdragon laptops, for now They've been shouting from the rooftops for over a YEAR that they intend to track your every move, but there are still countless millions of normie midwits using it, and still enough "learned" users for Windows generals to exist on /g/. It blows my mind. Anyone who knows Microsoft's history with user privacy and consent, and understands how much money they have in AI, knows exactly how this story will go. >Recall will be brought to gaming PCs because no one wants a snapdragon >Microsoft will quietly update the EULA to let them access the screenshots >pause to gauge public outrage

Since everyone hates discord let's share some alternatives. Of course discord compresses many functions and as such you'd need to use differente apps. For one on one chats, I think XMPP is cool but I have yet to convince my friends to use it. Matrix and telegram are too close to discord imho For short-term group chats, I have self-hosted mumble a couple times and it's pretty fun. There's also jitsi for giving you the rare screensharing. I haven't used much IRC because I don't like sitting on the computer. For long-term group chats of course there's forums and imageboards. Do you know any others?

I'm looking for a skilled mobile app reverse engineer who can work on either Android or iOS platforms. Please post your email address in the thread or ask for mine.

>One of Discord’s third-party customer service providers was compromised by an “unauthorized party,” the company says. The unauthorized party gained access to “information from a limited number of users who had contacted Discord through our Customer Support and/or Trust & Safety teams” and aimed to “extort a financial ransom from Discord.” The unauthorized party “did not gain access to Discord directly.” >Data potentially accessed by the hack includes things like names, usernames, emails, and the last four digits of credit card numbers. The unauthorized party also accessed a “small number” of images of government IDs from “users who had appealed an age determination.” Full credit card numbers and passwords were not impacted by the breach, Discord says. >The company is notifying impacted users now over email. If your ID might have been accessed, Discord will specify that. Discord also says it revoked the support provider’s access to Discord’s ticketing system, has notified data protection authorities, is working with law enforcement, and has reviewed “our threat detection systems and security controls for third-party support providers.” https://www.theverge.com/news/792032/discord-customer-service-data-breach-hack

Now that even normies know how many resources AI sucks, and that AI is probably trained on spying, what if we redpilled them about privacy by telling them it's for muh environment?

To anyone who knows how to code and how Internet browser video players work, Invidious and FreeTube need help fixing videojs-http-source-selector and videojs-quality-selector so they can use the latest version of VideoJS in their applications. VP9 and AV1 can't be used right now as VideoJS 7.x doesn't support WebM. Using Version 8 would fix this problem. Relevant links: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/2848 https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/videojs-http-source-selector https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/videojs-quality-selector https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/pull/3482

>Microsoft is cracking down on bypass methods that let Windows 11 installs use a local account, and avoid an internet requirement during the setup process. In a new Windows 11 test build released today, Microsoft says it’s removing known workarounds for creating local accounts as they can apparently cause issues during the setup process. >“We are removing known mechanisms for creating a local account in the Windows Setup experience (OOBE),” says Amanda Langowski, the lead for the Windows Insider Program. “While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use.” >The changes mean Windows 11 users will need to complete the OOBE screens with an internet connection and Microsoft account in future versions of the OS. >Microsoft already removed the “bypassnro” workaround earlier this year, and today’s changes also disable the “start ms-cxh:localonly” command that Windows 11 users discovered after Microsoft’s previous changes. Using this command now resets the OOBE process and it fails to bypass the Microsoft account requirement. https://www.theverge.com/news/793579/microsoft-windows-11-local-account-bypass-workaround-changes

Anyone been able to brows 8chan on dillo browser? Maybe dillo-plus? I been trying to get them to work by enabling cookies but it doesn't work. I get stuck on pic related. I try to go back and it goes back to the confirm page but also when I get to pic related I tried to input 8chan domain to hopefully get to the page but alas, once again I am asked to confirm I am over 18.

"Blackbox" is a unix shell, and "Bb4Win" is a from-scratch clone of that unix shell but for Windows. But fucking nobody uses either of them. The thread is also for niggas who use other gaysexsplorer-replacing alternate shells like Cairo, or SharpEnviro, but ESPECIALLY bb4win. I want to proselytize bb4win and get more people to use it. It's SUPER lightweight, especially bbLean which I'm running. There's also xoblite which is still getting updated but it's fat and ugly. In the first image you can see my CPU usage is next to fucking nothing on my 3.4ghz shitbox when idle. It's all in a ONE MEGABITE PACKAGE. Out of the box you get virtual desktops, it's own AutoHotKey-like plugin called bbKeys which you can do a lot with. There are a few small catches, though. There's a bit of a learning curve, and it looks ugly out of the box. You have to spend some time making it cool. You also have to dig in the waybackmachine a lot because most of the resources and discussion for it are DEAD AND MURDERED by the cia. You can at least still find it on sourceforge, where it's very useful manual also is. boxshots.org is also somehow still alive, and people still post their desktops on there. Also, I'm working on a revival site. It's called 'boxedreality' and it will have a proper archive of useful forum threads, plugin downloads, guides and other cool things. And unlike it's only competitor, boxshots, it won't be a fucking static site where you wait for the mods to manually put your posts in the .html Thank you for time

Someone regularly makes anti-protonmail, pro-tutamail threads on /g/. Bottom reply is likely OP samefag. https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/106744406/

Every now and then some piece of software gets made that tries to make things simpler and easier to use. Every few years one of those projects gets adopted in droves and becomes the hot new developer meme and retards who shouldn't be let within 5 miles of a production server start shitting out endless amounts "clever solutions" with it because it's the only tool they know. Then other shitters come in, copy paste the first piece of spit and gum they see and call it working code. Eventually you end up with an environment where you have a handful of good projects drowning in a sea of pajeetcode. In the 2010s that was node.js. Frontend devs writing critical backend code in javashit because it's the only language they know, and then writing entire applications to run inside a chromium instance because it's so much easier than using a GUI toolkit. Today, that tool is docker. Wanna run a static webserver? Here, use ten thrown together dockerimages. Wanna compile software? Use this custom dockerimage, we don't support anything else. Check out this cool new software! Oh, you want to run it? Just run the official dockerimage so you can start the program! Docker is "lightweight". Downloading 2 GB of images to get the libraries you need for running your 50 lines of python code is way less bloated than that sparse 3 GB qcow2 image you can run anywhere. The venv is only 250 MB? Who cares lol. Docker is "secure" so of course there's no problem when your dockerfile exposes two dozen ports to your entire network. How else could your 15 different images running on the same fucking machine possibly communicate with each other? Installing docker images is easy. Simply pick out the one official image on docker-hub from the millions of repositories with malware grafted onto them. Be sure to audit every single dockerfile to make sure all the devs did the same! Docker is easy. When something breaks you can docker compose down and rebuild your container. Cross your fingers that it works. It's still broken? Then you can docker exec -it sh and troubleshoot your image from withing. Whoops, you used a minimal image that doesn't have sh. You can just make your own less minimal image that includes sh. It's easy. Docker is the perfect development environment. Installing dependencies is as easy as adding them to your dockerfile. But why bother making your own when you can blindly copy paste dockerfile code you found on someone's blog? Now you have your dependencies working but oh no! Your VSCode linter doesn't know about your dependencies! Do you properly reconfigure your setup? Why bother thinking when you can – get this – install all your dependencies locally! Now you can experience the joys of running docker at the same time as the joys of dependency management just so your editor can tell you you misspelled np.random! Better make sure your build system doesn't use your local libraries anywhere! And that's not all. You want to use a modified library for your build? Then you can just rebuild your entire docker image with your library added in. And never before could you use several versions of the same library in the same build process. Cmake? Never heard of it! Docker is the future! >but I NEED it for muh servers Look at this John Netflix who's serving 200 users across the ENTIRE city. Better set up Kubernetes so you can maintain your single fucking machine just as easily as you could 2.5 servers with no k8s. >b-but muh pipelines Yeah, go continuously integrate that single user desktop only application you're working on you fucking faggot.
