Buyers remorse Anonymous 11/22/2020 (Sun) 17:43:52 No. 1834 [Reply] >>5902>>9978
Holy shit this is slow. I never tried a "green" hard drive before and this is the last time I ever waste my time on these pieces of shit. Ever bought something only to regret it the very moment you started using it? If so what was it?

>>1834 (OP) >2 TB If that's all the capacity you need, then you should've bought an SSD instead. In my opinion.
>>1852 just be careful of shingled ones, because you'll regret again
>>1834 (OP) lol didn't you look up the specs first? almost everything "green" is a scam. I think I'd make an exception for some power supplies from like 10+ years ago where the "green" ones were a way to get something efficient enough to be quiet for office use even if you ran it somewhere kind of getting up toward its power rating. 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 (OP) 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.

>>9281 The important thing is not the usb, but the PCI devices group to which the usb is connected. I blocked the USB via the GRUB command line. modprobe.blacklist=xhci_pci modprobe.blacklist=ehci_pci usbcore.nousb=Y This time the PC presents itself as a different PCI device during boot up. Don't give advice to turn it off from bios because there is no "disable usb" option in bios.
Which command should we use?

>>1180 >Find a keyboard with an usb-c plug in your house. A year and a half late it may be, but the board I've been using for the past four or five years takes USB-C. The computer end is USB-A right now, but a replacement C-to-C cable would be cheap even if I'm still using this board a decade from now and I need to plug into a type C port. Don't tell me, are you using some Jew hardware with non-replaceable cables, so it needs to be thrown away and replaced entirely once the cable frays even if the actual hardware is still good?

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.

Each element in the string is basically an integer, not a pointer. >its just a string and not an array of structs. Technically you've never used an array of structs, only an array of pointers. Try to make a drawing of the memory layout to understand it properly if it's confusing. Then post it so that we can bully you.
>>8870 I mean, in the struct dirent **pages line I'm dereferencing a pointer twice. I suppose it'd be more explicit to say I'm "looking at a pointer that's looking at a pointer that's pointing into an array of structs", but is the pages array created by scandir() not an array of structs? The official literature is a little obtuse as to the structure of the memory segment that scandir() creates.

Using Secure Passwords - Tips and Tricks Anonymous 05/28/2022 (Sat) 20:54:15 No. 8560 [Reply] >>8767
You know the old sayings when it comes to password security. >Never use the same password twice >Choose hard passwords that use numbers, symbols, caps and lowercase >Never write down or store passwords in a way that could be compromised >Change passwords semi-regularly >Never reuse an old password These are great ideas from a technical standpoint, but they completely and totally ignore the human factor. A hard password is difficult to remember, let alone when you have ten of them for ten different sites. Without writing them down somewhere you're likely to forget them, and even more likely to forget the ones you change frequently. This sucks, so I'm going to share a couple tips and tricks I use for making and remembering secure passwords. These two tricks are Passphrases and Catches. >Passphrases A passphrase is like a password but it much easier to structure and remember. It can be any line or quote that is memorable to you for some reason, which you then modify in a rememberable way to make more secure. Let me show you some examples. Starting with a simple phrase like "the quick brown fox" from the famous example of "using every letter in the alphabet", you could easily make this into a very memorable, hard to break passphrase. The addition of one symbol in a particular spot, and capitalizing each word in the phrase other than the first, is a simple adjustment. As a rule, don't always capitalize the first letter of your password, and don't always put your symbols or punctuation at the end, because cracking programs often anticipate this. >the#QuickBrownFox is a seventeen character, secure password. For comparison, try remembering iQd#rgYtbaLsdevPG. The strength is comparable. >Catches

How about just slapping your hands on the keyboard, selecting a section that's 8-32 characters long, writing it down, and burning the paper after the 20th time you use it? And/or intentionally add characters that are absent from standard keyboards such as £, ¥, ü, ç, æ, ø, and so on.

Browser and Internet Privacy Thread Anonymous 08/13/2020 (Thu) 06:48:58 No. 984 [Reply] [Last]
A place to shill for your favorite browsers & addons. Learn how to protect yourself from the botnet. What are your favorite addons and browsing tricks to protect your privacy? Share them here so we can all be a little safer. Browsers Chrome Chrome is somehow still in the lead due to sheer momentum, despite even the dumbest lusers cracking jokes about memory usage. Google has continued to abuse their position as the largest website and browser to force non-standards compliant changes to the way rendering works, generally to their benefit. Should be avoided at all costs. They track everything you do in some way. Chromium Even "de-Google'd" it still phones home and tracks your every move. Plus it gives them market share to bully smaller browsers and websites into complying with their standards. Avoid. Firefox Mozilla is pretty cucked and it's running on Rust these days, but it's a decent compromise between the modernity of Chrome and the standards compliance of something like Pale Moon. It's the closest you can get to a proper browser that's also updated regularly. Addons are worse now that they use Google's "web extensions" API, which is a downgrade from the Mozilla API and no more secure. But the whole "Quantum" thing has it flying, and they are better about standards compliance than Chrome is, and usually only break away because Chrome gives them no choice. Pale Moon The Gentooman's preferred choice, although some sites just don't play nice with it anymore. The last real holdout of old Gecko rendering. Has a diverse ecosystem, but it's basically the remnants of Firefox from yesteryear repackaged. Not bad if you can stand many sites not playing nice.

How do i make mods for games? Anonymous 05/16/2022 (Mon) 22:28:15 No. 8459 [Reply] >>8523
Hello everyone i was wondering on how i could get started in modding video games and if there any guides out there thank you :)
2 posts and 1 image omitted.
>>8459 (OP) well if they dont provide a public API for people to modify the game behavior with then you'll have to get a binary analyzer tool like ghidra or IDA and start reverse engineering the program. Find out where & how it loads stuff, where important memory structs are allocated, how the game logic runs, etc. Then simply patch bytes in the original program to add your own behavior. You can also just try to decompile the entire thing and modify it like that, this is how most java programs are modded, but thats not such an easy process for native programs like this game but maybe its still possible idk never tried. I recommend watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7gBkVXuDSQ&list=PLpnX4b2uRf5-_aLRjuIpav2Zh45C4f2QH

>>7895 The same people that think design patterns that sidestep / mitigate OOP are elegant. programming instructors at the community college level tend to breed this counterproductive cargo-cult mentality, but it slowly crept into acadamia as well. To be fair, 'OOP' is the only word they can summon when trying to convey "modular design", "abstraction", "orthogonal design"; their heart is at least in the right place. For many its a rite of passage and they can't imagine any other paradigm, its basically the programming equivalent of circumcision. Its similiar to language teachers trying to get students talking in a formal / polite manner before learning to talk casually. OOP boils down to memorizing terminology, and testing can be done with multiple choice, text-book authors love it, colleges make shit tons of cash off it, etc.
