Has anyone investigated whether utilizing a VGA monitor with TOR creates a fingerprinting risk due to its uncommon video resolution? I've been thinking, what if I repurpose an old monitor without a polarizing filter for private TOR browsing?

>>/gacha/620535 Begin with programming. Its needed even if you'll go Linux engineer. I recommend Python since its the most popular language and also the easiest one to start. Once you'll be done with the basics and reach Object-Oriented level you need to decide which position you like the most: >Software developer >Linux Engineer First is divided into: >Videogame dev >Backend(Web services) dev >Frontend dev Python is primarily a backend language that also used the most in Linux(Ansible automatizations) that's why its the best language to start with! C# and C++ are more videogames oriented. >C# Unity Engine. The most popular freeware game engine uses it. >C++: Unreal Engine. C++ is also used in hardware development but then its mostly used as an "additional tool" basically it means you need to know something else, like physics, to be able to code Car Brains or Drones or whatever. IMO low level languages like C++ and Rust are only for nerds and its an almost impossible task to find a job as a C++ coder.

Piracy Guide Anonymous 07/06/2025 (Sun) 23:47:24 No. 23564 [Reply]
Can someone give me a semi-detailed guide on how to pirate from 1337x.to or fitgirl, i've had a hard time with them
I don't see how you could have trouble with fitgirl's site... the magnet links and torrent files seem pretty accessible. 1337 has been ramping up clickjacking, enough that it's unusable for unboiled frogs. Here's what I recommend: enable DHT in your torrent client and paste the infohash in the magnet link input; you'll still have to fight popups, but you'll manage to select the hash eventually. i.e. every 1337 torrent page has a text that looks like: Infohash: B764CFF84B53760C3D911582AF1CFAB584B2A77 The B7...77 text can be used instead of a magnet link.

Hydrus Network General #11 Anonymous Board volunteer 02/05/2025 (Wed) 22:34:45 No. 17183 [Reply] [Last]
This is a thread for releases, bug reports, and other discussion for the hydrus network software. The hydrus network client is an application written for Anon and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf/webm collections. It browses with tags instead of folders, a little like a booru on your desktop. Users can choose to download and share tags through a Public Tag Repository that now has more than 2 billion tag mappings, and advanced users may set up their own repositories just for themselves and friends. Everything is free and privacy is the first concern. Releases are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and it is now easy to run the program straight from source. 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 a powerful and complicated program, and 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/ Previous thread >>>/hydrus/22247

Why the fuck are people still using Windows? Anonymous 05/05/2025 (Mon) 18:43:25 No. 22308 [Reply] [Last]
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

My windows installation died today, getting random driver corruption errors, probably SSD issues but result is - dead OS Its the best opportunity to try Linux, every time I try it alongside Windows I just end up crawling back but now it could be different
>>23261 Poster of >>22473 here, I want to write a follow up. The GPU not showing up was not because of the meme distro. In fact, it's the same on CachyOS. Turns out that despite Linux reputation for reviving old hardware, the support for my old laptop's GPU doesn't fully exist. It kinda works. Launching a game, I can see it being used with amdgpu_top. But launching steam with the dedicated GPU option in plasma causes the steam window to flash a dark rectangle before immediately closing. I tried getting the proprietary driver, but I got an error saying my X server is too new for that driver. It's a shame. That just worked in windows, but I don't want to go back. Linux only uses 2GB of the 8GB ram on idle, wile windows doubles that to 4GB. Linux also don't randomly hogs CPU for compatibility telemetry or other random processes that don't do anything for the user. I hope I can use the data from amdgpu_top in the system monitor somehow, but I have to do more research.

Operation Download And Conquer Anonymous 10/02/2021 (Sat) 13:51:54 No. 5546 [Reply] [Last]
Given how majority of the internet's audio and video services are provided by Google, thanks to Youtube, the purpose of this operation is to loosen the death-grip that has taken hold. This process will only require that you have a steady internet connection and (Advisably) 100 GB of free space. Here is the process: Step 1 Download the latest versions of FFMpeg and Youtube-DL, and put all the programs into the same folder: http://ffmpeg.org/ https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/index.html Step 2 Create an account to any video sites that you wish to distribute videos on. Here are some of the more well-known alternatives, as well as some recommended sites: AfreecaTV: https://www.afreecatv.com/ Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/ BitTube: https://bittube.tv/ D.tube: https://d.tube/ Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/ LBRY: https://lbry.com/ NicoNico: https://www.nicovideo.jp/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/

>>16375 Another update to this. If you want to keep using the "latest" version of yt-dlp for Windows 7: https://github.com/nicolaasjan/yt-dlp/releases You have to install this version of Python 3.9: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-390rc1/
>>16396 >>16467 Just a follow-up on this, FC2 does now have all the videos that were formerly hosted on Veoh. So everything that you used to find on there can now be found on FC2.
YouTube has made a new change to their systems that alters how you download videos with yt-dlp Over the past couple days, I've noticed that some of the batch downloads of videos I've been yanking from JewTube do not collect the proper video title of the file being downloaded and instead have the file titled as "youtube video #XXX", with the "XXX" being whatever the watch URL is on JewTube. In addition, while it does collect the usual content, these downloads are now lacking the description file. Everything else operates properly. I've yet to extensively test what causes this to "trigger", but I think it's somehow related to the previous system that blocked downloads unless you fill out the YouTube captcha.

Suspicious of playit.gg: any alternatives on a managed network? Anonymous 06/29/2025 (Sun) 17:48:14 No. 23512 [Reply] >>23532
I am naturally suspicious of playit.gg, what issues exist with using playit.gg instead of port forwarding? Any better alternatives? What is "tunneling" via "port forwarding" in this context? From what little I understand regarding computer networking, I can't port-forward from my apartment complex as opposed to my previous one because my ISP uses a "managed network" where I connect via an indoor access point. There is no router that I can connect to that has a port I can open. I was talking with one of my friends about it who keeps blabbering about "just using playit.gg". I've never looked into it until now, but looking at the website an the bits and pieces of how it supposedly works, I'm suspicious about the speech & privacy concerns associated with a "free" service.

>>23461 (OP) >Do you guys lose interest in tech once it matures? What you're asking about is burnout, and it does happen to everyone. The best way to address it is to remove yourself from it for a while before you actually return and take an interest in it again. In regards to computers, there is still a lot of stuff that can be improved or worked on. However "no one" gives a shit about your project unless (1) you code it in Python, (2) you develop for Botnet 11, and/or (3) you develop for Linux. All of which are "dead ends", mind you. Outside of those areas, the sky's the limit in what hasn't been accomplished.

So, what's so bad about Tor? >it's a honeypot Not really, I have done extensive research into this and the only people caught on it were dumb fucks who made OpSec mistakes. Plus, the only people championing this point are schizos who use VPN services or set up their own VPN, or even just use their plain ISP-given IP address, all of which are way riskier than using Tor. If you're concerned about onion links being honeypots, then set up your own. It's one of the easiest things in the world to do. >it's slow Fair enough. >a lot of sites block it Yeah, and a lot of sites are fags anyways, a lot of sites are also using ReCatapha and require phone verification and use Cloudflare or AWS. Sites have been against privacy for a long time and are banning VPNs too. >it's operated by sjws&trannies Literally everything is now, including VPN services and ISPs, there is no escape unless you want to fully disconnect from the internet and live in a cabin in the woods, which considering people are still using this site, I don't see happening. Also, the directors are known privacy-advocates. >firefox Firefox is rapidly becoming a shit browser for privacy, yes, Chromium is worse, "Ungoogled" Chromium is still Chrome garbage, same with Brave, alternative Firefox builds are usually outdated, and Opera is blatantly spyware. Meanwhile, Tor usually strips out all the tracking that Firefox tries to push in new releases. >relays and nodes operated by governments Which is more of a reason to get more people using Tor so more people can set up nodes and relays aside from government interference. Not opening this to start an argument or a bash on how bad Tor is or just to simply praise Tor, I want a discussion, because most points about Tor being bad for privacy are easily debunked and usually only used by schizos and I want to ensure my personal privacy.

>>449 (OP) Tor is pretty useless. It still relies on BGP and that can be used to deanonymise you. BGP decides which entry node you use, so if the first and last node are controlled by the same people then you're fucked. Tor is Kaput
Perhaps finally I know someone having a middle-point of view on all this Tor is awesome, and really works so well you can do a lot even outside their recommended (official) Tor Browser >Chromium is worse, "Ungoogled" Chromium is still Chrome garbage I know this is unrelated to tor, but Chromium actually is slowly becoming more respectful than the own Mozilla Firefox. There's a lot of drama around "how Manifest V3 is cancer" when, ok MV3 may be pretty shitty, but it's also true that MV2 is a insecure clusterfuck that allow extensions to change their entire code remotely
>>23371 >Tor is pretty useless. Your argument about BGP and timing attacks, though valid, lacks relevance. You're assuming that there are entities that control enough tor nodes to conduct timing attacks, but overlooking that this doesn't matter. There are only a handfull of Tier 1 providers who control the entirety of the backbone of the internet. Every Tier 1 is tied into the Five Eyes+, and it is almost certain that the same is true for the Regional Tier 1's. The Tier 2's are probably all integrated, too; but even if it is only most of them, this too is irrelevant. The switches that manage the backbone and internet exchange points are made by a few manufacturers, maybe twelve to fifteen. These companies, such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Brocade, ZTE, Nokia, and Huawei to name a few, all have key relationships with governments and intellegence agencies around the world. They are integral parts of the government-industrial complex. Tracing packets would be a novice function to perform... Intellegence agenices monitoring tor nodes is irrelevant when they can literally monitor the entirety of the internet worldwide. The rub though is that tor must appear to be secure, at least from the point of view of normal people and from the majority of world governments. Tor is used by the intellegence comminity, too. It is both a secure way to exchange data and a way to monitor who is trading data with who. And while I believe the end-to-end encrytpgion is strong and hasn't been broken yet; but the raw traffic is being stored; and when quantum computing becomes capable, the encryption will be broken and stored data will be dissected. To that end, your drug deals, illicit conversations and trading of, um, whatever it is you're illicitly trading, etc. is not really of interest. I assume everything is logged; but they're only going to action things that have world dominance and world power related significance. Tor is not useless, though. It does what it was designed to do.

Advice for OpenBSD newparanoids? Anonymous 06/27/2025 (Fri) 01:58:02 No. 23463 [Reply]
Hello guys. I (and a couple of friends) recently switched from Linux to OpenBSD because we found it quite interesting. I'm a Lenovo Thinkpad user who used to Alpine Linux. I still loving this distro, but I wanted to give OpenBSD a try. So what would you /t/ nerds recommend to a OpenBSD newfag? I never used it (in a serious way) before. I saw OpenBSD have actually a Tor Browser port. I wonder which other Web Browser can I use here.

Tbh, first I wanted to install NetBSD as main OS on this Thinkpad here. And I actually installed it, but the experience was so goddamn awful. I was even unable to mount my Sandisk pendrive and recover my files (and yes, I used mount -t ext2fs like in the Manpages) So I'm now giving OpenBSD a try, and I'm actually having fun with it rn. It's awesome and does everything right. I installed LXQt as Desktop Environment, and now I installed Falkon to continue updating this thread (Falkon is pretty awesome btw). Now I'm trying to setup some Linux Virtual Machines "just in case". Do you anons have any recommendations at this point?

Still cannot comprehend why someone wouldn't use C99 instead. rust just sucks. On C you download the library and compile, and if you fuck up the memory allocation that's on you. In rust you have a whole package manager and a quirky syntax to lord over everyone between dilations about how much better and "memory safe" it is, when in reality it just tries to stop you from array out of bounds and that's it. Just stop being stupid. C isn't even fucking hard, that's a jew op. The Day of The Butter Sauce will come.
