So, how's my build guys? The heatsink is over two 16GB-3200mhz T-Force VulcanZ kits and contacts a Ryzen 3700x processor. My GPU (GTX 1050ti) is running around 25c in this thing and the chip's at 33c when idling and stays around the 45c-60c range doing basic tasks or playing vidya. I'm unsure how it'll hold up in a heavy workload...

Although not entirely in the spirit of /t/, let's talk a bit about this typesetting tool. What do you use it for? Do you like using it? Encountering any problems? What program do you use? I mainly use it for my academic reports, since it works very well with formulae and chemical reactions. Anything else would be an abstract horror, so to say. I have been using TeXworks+JabRef, and have mostly been satisfied with the results - except for the occasional hiccup like the formula above. The only drawback is that there is not a proper dark theme, so it gets a little straining on the eyes sometimes.

>>10288 >>What program do you use? >Yeah that was the entry level hump trying to get over so I could compile it and look at the results before passing the next version along. I'm as much a copy editor as an idea man for what we should be writing. There is - TEXmacs https://www.texmacs.org/ - vim - emacs has tex-mode Really any text editor will do. For the proprietary vener-lock-in web-app feel maybe <https://www.overleaf.com/>.They do have good documentation for beginners.
>>10298 lol the emacs tex mode sucks as much unwashed cock as most of its other modes, and that's after you try to write hooks in your .emacs or .xemacs or ~/.emacs/.xmacstab or whatever to just force it in to text mode. Yes I do know ML and I don't care. They can't even keep anything consistent between emacs and xemacs, but you wind up falling between either than and vim, and I'll give you an earful about it not being part of a standard distribution DESPITE ALL THIS OTHER BULL SHIT I DIDN'T NEED OR WANT TO KNOW ABOUT but it's the compilation thing. I'ts kind of like making your own .deb or .rpm. I like how you can just trade it around as a pure text file, but you have to do some digging for the right incantation to turn it in to the final product, and that's important if your chart wound up on the wrong page, or if you have to edit down your list of citations to fit it in to the number of pages you paid for.

The 08chan and Zeronet Problem Anonymous 03/15/2021 (Mon) 19:36:10 No. 2951 [Reply]
An idea sort of came together toward the problems of zeronet moderation and a possible solution for another go at something similar. What about crypto wallets? I think using XMR or similarly private coin wallet address as your identifier instead of how you pretty much gave up your privacy to be tracked on 08chan as an initial identifier to track trash glowniggers and commies posting CP and other such trash to ruin it for everyone else. You'd still be tracked but only to the point of your wallet. I'm sure someone a bit more OpSec fresh than me could come up with an infographic to set that up securely even.

>>2951 I think that would be a cool,but not to replace image-boards,but rather as another way of communicating online. >>2974 I think pseudo-anonymous websites would be cool, this sites when they get big get misleading and just annoying.In popular sites like 4-chan people don't say be B in response to A ,they say D ,Z and C in a ironic way.I've seen people who respond the most retard responses they can think of only to degenerate the conversation. With this system you wouldn't have glowniggers spying you,but could also differentiate the users.You wouldn't talk to your grandma the same way you talk to a friend , so the same online you wouldn't talk to a newfag the same way you would talk to someone who specializes on the board topic. This wouldn't replace the imageboards,because this is not their intent.Their intent is to have meaningful conversations or discussions,while imageboard would be for laughs and idiot posting. >>2975 Agreed bans are stupid >>6314 >>6360 >>6497 Can't you see there is a solution,different boards,(or pseudo-anonymous forum as I mentioned),with different owners.Maybe in one they accept what you hate maybe in others no.The idea is that there is a free-market of ideas and sites in which the user chooses the best one instead of being imposed.
>>3004 >A booru would fit IPFS naturally, though. I would love an IPFS booru. It could be hosted entirely by volunteers meaning that there would be no need for invasive, hard-to-block ads (I'm looking at you Gelbooru) to pay for hosting. If dynamic content is hard, then how would it be possible to add and delete pictures, as well as comment underneath them though? OrbitDB is able to allow multiple users to add to the database. Would it use something like that? The only problem is how would you pass the search query in the URL? AFAIK there's no way to do that yet, but I think it should be possible to pass parameters to client-side code running in the browser rather than server-side. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
>>3229 I knew about 8chan, only wondered if there was anything else to it. Well, thanks for clarifying.

Misuse of Israeli Surveillance Tech for Massive Violation of Human Rights Anonymous 03/16/2021 (Tue) 09:15:14 No. 2961 [Reply]
There is a criminal organization in Brazil using NSO Group's Pegasus to infect devices for hack for hire, to incite terrorism, blackmail people, produce illegal pornography and assist in assassinations. They also have other advanced malware, like UEFI implants and even persistent implants for Kindle and Raspberry Pi. Plus face/voice recognition on every camera and microphone they can get into, in public or private places. Brazil won't do anything to stop them. Only the FBI, CIA and NSA can stop them. There is also the possibility that they were engaged on the hack of Bezos' smartphone. If you know of any security researcher who wants to reverse engineer the exploits they are using, I am more than willing to help them. If you want a story about how they operate, I am willing to work with you to expose them.

Don't know if it's the right place to post, so give me directions to plebbit if it isn't. So i was testing why the hell my comments were disappearing from public view.

Before you could at least make a correction in comment, but as of right now, system doesn't allow you to comment anywhere. Here would be some examples.

Password Managers Anonymous 06/01/2021 (Tue) 17:14:56 No. 4278 [Reply]
Ok it's time to get a password manager. It has to be open source, free and without any cloud crap because I trust nobody. Which PM do you anons use? Which KeepAss is better? There's the OG, X and XC now. Is there any way to extend my PM to android manually without any company getting their hands on my database? Let's discuss.
28 posts and 6 images omitted.
I don't even know what the fuck a password manager is. Aren't they supposed to be secret? I just tie them down to whatever thoughts I associate with the account and once in a while make a note that I accidentally used the wrong thought or transposed the numbers or whatever. One of my old bosses used an encrypted like fucking word document or whatever his shit was because he was too boomer to remember all his passwords and was advised by the IT staff that the document encryption was more powerful than all his passwords so he might as well put them all in one place. (But why even have different passwords at that point lol). This laptop happens to be locked not just by a particular japanese movie that represents my state of mind while buying it, but also altered based on the buttons that don't work until it's booted up and I can remap the keyboard. Good luck with that h40rz :^)
>>5704 not having to manage and "glue together" - as you say it - separate applications is still a valid point of his. also: if you'll tell me "but it's not that hard" I'll tell you "there's more things to go wrong along the way too though". Nice if it works for you though and the tinkering spirit is cool too.

Lithium Ion Batteries Anonymous 11/27/2021 (Sat) 19:48:57 No. 6405 [Reply]
I fucking have lithium ion batteries so fucking much. Every god damn device on the fucking planet now has some stupid fucking soldered in lithium ion battery instead of just letting me slot in my own batteries. So now whenever I buy something as stupid as fucking small electric screwdriver I have to account for the fact that when I leave it on the shelf for a couple years and pick the thing up the cheap chink shit battery inside it will have killed itself and made the thing fucking useless. I can't even count the number of times I've picked up an electronic device with one of these useless fucking things inside them only to discover it died and is now a fucking paperweight unless I go onto ebay and comb through a bunch of shitty batteries to find the bizarre form factor they used in that specific device only to have to fucking rip the entire thing down and solder in an entirely new battery to use a basic fucking electronic. Why the fuck can't retards just let me use replaceable standardize batteries in devices. I DON'T WANT TO RECHARGE MY SHIT WITH A USB CABLE JUST LET ME PUT BATTERIES INTO THE FUCKING DEVICES.

>>9353 I don't like the consumerist part of keyboardfags either, but even this thing could have a case made for it. I guess it's that last 20% of the project taking 40-60% of the time for it to look "professional" and they can't be arsed. Besides that: I hate the obsession with keycaps and switches to the exclusion of actually bothering with the important concepts: key arrangements, height-profiles - maybe even a completely new input system of which they keyboard is only a fraction. Left doesn't look very usable, good luck doing your inputs on that keyboard, I'd much rather have a "chunky smartphone" that I can hook up a keyboard to and maybe some kind of chorded interface/case for mobile use And maybe a touchscreen too, but now it's almost just a smatphone (albeit being properly built and servicable and open and also just running "mainline linux" instead of the fetid dumpster fire that is android would make a huge difference already, even if it's just a differently constrained smartphone.

Other than that pretty much no except for a cheap laptop I bought last year while I was too drunk to try the keyboard and it had all fucking weird keys in the wrong places and proceeded to piss me off until I accidentally kicked it off the bed while I was even more drunk and the screen shattered.

Almost every normalfaggot internet service requiring working, hard to change, much more personally identifiable than plain IP address, phone number to register. And to periodically provide as "random checks" to keep working and not lock you out of your data without prior warning is normal and widely accepted business practice in Muttland as of 2020's. Requiring ID card or SSN to register for such services would be literal commiefascism and would never fly in Muttland, normalfags in revolt. How did it get this absurdly cucked in Land of the Free.

Fuck phone numbers. There was a time about 20 years ago when people thought it would not be needed in a few years, after evertything went online. It was a sign of early adopter to not have boomercell any more. Now it has become a pseudo-ID card to tie your real identity to your normalfag online activities, and de facto requirement that sure as fuck isn't going anywhere. At least I still live in a region where anonymous prepaid is still allowed, for now (outside US). Do americans have anonymous prepaids / burner phones any more? It's a tiny proportion of countries that allow it by now. Vast majority requires you to present real life ID to activate a prepaid subscription.
>>7473 It's illegal to use SSN for identification. Use a TID (tax ID) instead. 2FA is fundamentally less secure. Ask for a wireless FOB thing so it's not connected to your goyphone, or at least buy a burner goyphone that you never use anyway because goyphones are utter trash, and then send them the bill for it.
>>9876 Depends how much you care about exactly how anonymous it is. I bought one in cash the other week. Didn't even need a prepaid debit card. But what do I use it for? If your'e watching the pings and the nature of the traffic, then it's not hard to figure out who am and where I am when. Will it impact my life? Not really. It's just another layer to get through for an average jack in a world where most likely nobody would care enough. I guess I accidentally used it as a wifi hotspot for porn once, so they'll find out what kind of shameful stuff I wanked to once if they dig out all the DNS logs or whatever. Otherwise it's just going to corroborate the rest of my tracked activity, including logs of my car's license plates and patterns of fraudulent activity to do with who I am and where I live.

Take precautions against secret usb implants Anonymous 08/13/2022 (Sat) 08:26:27 No. 9259 [Reply]
I am using Linux operating system. My computer is not connected to the internet , I formatted it and changed the bios firmware and hard disk firmware. However, the program opens by itself, the mouse cursor moves by itself, and sometimes the system's default audio service is turned off. When I examine it with the Wireshark program, an interrupt signal comes from the usb ports, even though there is no device plugged into the usb ports. The interrupt signal comes from linux's default idle hardware. I have a hidden implant in my computer that looks like the NSA ANT COTTONMOUTH tool. Wireshark logs https://easyupload.io/eqrfr6 This hidden usb implant can easily bypass all antivirus and security software by introducing itself as a hidden system process by overflowing the kernel, regardless of linux or windows operating system, during computer startup. On computers that cannot exceed the kernel security, it introduces itself as a different hardware and takes over the control of the system via memory buffer overflow by overloading the interrupt. No antivirus and security software can detect this situation. This hidden usb implant is not simple usb keyboard like ruber ducky and usb ninja. For this reason, do not recommend simple and useless scripts such as "usb guard". This implant is an advanced usb spying implant similar to NSA COTTONMOUTH. My request from the linux community is to develop a security module for the linux operating system against hidden usb implants.

Don't give advice to turn it off from bios because there is no "disable usb" option in bios.

Let's Learn C Together, Imageboard Style Anonymous 05/02/2022 (Mon) 02:31:22 No. 8314 [Reply] [Last]
So I'm recently getting back into writing code again after a multi-year break. I used to be pretty proficient at BASIC and Visual Basic, BASH scripting, and I dabbled in Perl and PHP. Recently I've decided I want to learn C and git gud at it, but going through lessons and tutorials alone is boring when you have no feedback. There's already a dedicated programming thread, but I think there's enough here to warrant a standalone thread where we go through things together. We'll be using two resources. >C: How to Program - an in-depth textbook >The C Programming Language - long considered the beginner's bible for C >Why bother with C when C++ is a thing? C++ is basically object-oriented C, or C with classes. While C++ is a very useful language C is often more immediately applicable to simple, no-bullshit programs that do useful things. C is simpler, with less weeds to get lost in and is thus quicker to learn. And if you are good at C, then it's just a short hop to learning C++. We learn C to walk before we run. Since I'm a newbie too I'll post useful things I learn and code examples I write ITT for anons to play with, and explain the things I learn both for your benefit and to help me remember them better. If you want to join me, start off by reading The C Programming Language cover-to-cover. If something seems confusing, cross reference it in C: How to Program for a different perspective. Here we go.
