How would one go about setting up a machine to talk on Kik over TOR without compromising anonymity? I'm sure others would be curious about Telegram and similar chat apps. Simply put, with all the surveillance capitalism and in particular, data hoarding practices by China and other threat actors, how does one reduce ones risk profile while still being able to enjoy their time online?

Hello everyone, stop using Discord and step over to the superior alternative already! Stallman disapproves of Discord and nobody should use this proprietary botnet for anything related to technology or programming. Since the old /g/ room on Matrix with 400 members died I made a new one. It's not on matrix.org for security and privacy reasons. #friends:catgirl.cloud

I found an interesting look site which interviews people asking them what hardware/software they use for their life/work/projects. There are some interesting people on there like Bram Moolenaar (https://usesthis.com/interviews/bram.moolenaar/), this lady who has some godtier taste (https://usesthis.com/interviews/alice.maz/), and plenty of faggots. Maybe you'll find some interesting work setups or you can share your Windows 10 + Beats by Dre. setup.

Why the fuck do you engineers draw diagrams in the most confusing way possible? Is it to keep us retards out? How exactly is this circular shit working because my hodgepodge in Turing Complete hasn't illuminated much

Let's all love Lain

why haven't you used nntpchan? NNTPChan (previously known as overchan) is a decentralized imageboard that uses the NNTP protocol (network-news transfer protocol) to synchronize content between many different servers. It utilizes cryptographically signed posts to perform optional/opt-in decentralized moderation https://github.com/konamicode9/nntpchan

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.

I want to create a game more or less from scratch just for the learning experience and fun. I was wondering why I hear everywhere that OpenGL seems pretty much dead and that nowadays, someone interested should concentrate on Vulkan right from the start? But I also hear that it's crazy confusing even for devs with a ton of OpenGL and Direct3D knowledge... What's really the payoff? All hardware supports OpenGL and it gives more than enough performance if you don't want peak AAA graphics. I don't want to use Direct3D because I'd also like to try to port it to my Android phone and I'm using Linux on my PC.

Can any of you fellas confirm any of this shit? It gets pretty crazy. Seroquel, Olanzapine, but then again...

Currently working making a React web app, and would love to also learn about Web hosting and avoid using Vercel or Netlify, any good recommendation for a free tier VPS to try out my app ?

stupid question, but i have this huge torrent that i have been seeding for 2 years and want to share. but i dont have the original torrent file anymore. is there a way to recreate it quickly or do i have to buffer it for an hour in the create torrent option of qbittorrent? and if i do will it still be in the same seedpool as the previous torrent? like will people that have seeded my current torrent be able to seed for people on the one i make now?

What's up with websites that try to push you to their shitty mobile apps that don't have all the features of the website? Lookin at you, GitHub

Is anyone else's Chat GPT cringey? Why is mine so fuckin cringey?

ok heello everyone im autistic and i think i look cool but i will be investing xrp for the 20th when trumpietrump take office

Wait 900 seconds, do the captcha, it gives me the tick to indicate that it's verified successfully, makes me wait 900 seconds again. What the actual fuck? how does anyone even use cuckchan anymore? how has this shithole not been completely abandoned at this point?

I mostly wanted to make this ask if there is a good internet database for old computer hardware. But also to genuinely know if you anons would ne intrested in this thread added on emulation too because that's one of the few experiences with older computers Do you also anons have any old or even retro to vintage computers?
