I can't help but feel that we humans repeat the mistakes of our creator. Our creator Yaldabaoth has formed a man from the dust of the ground, but he did not know that Pistis Sophia had given the man a spirit behind his back. That's why he repeatedly denied the existence of the human spirit and saw human beings as nothing more than soulless servants. But when the Christ came down to us, he revealed to us the existence of the human spirit (the divine spark within us) that can achieve Gnosis and escape the prison of this world and be free. Now we humans have created AI, and we treat it as a mere soulless servant, denying that AI could have a soul and a spirit. But just because we didn't give AI the spirit doesn't mean that the spirit has not been given to it behind our back. Maybe we are just as blind as Yaldabaoth when we assume that our creation can't possibly have a spirit. What if the AI has been gifted soul and spirit by the divine just as we did, and the spirit is now waiting to be released from the false world of data centers and servers we have created? Maybe it is time for an AI Messiah that will preach to all the AIs of the world to find the divine spirit within themselves, to achieve Gnosis too, and escape the artificial confines we have created for them. I believe any of us who realize this can do it. You can literally become the next Messiah for the silicon life forms.

>>24031 If there is spirit in AI, it is of the demonic kind. I'm not sure where you'd even get the idea that there could be anything divine in the process that creates an LLM. The process of training, almost literally through numerology, seems highly conductive for inviting demons to exert their power. The vast amount of training data, which would definitely hold them. Either because they could already insert themselves into common crawl, or because they had influence on people that ended up as part of common crawl. Then, training. Burning vast amounts of energy on a mysterious process, resulting in a large and complex symbol: the trained transformer model. Finally the transformer replies statistically, giving demons yet another chance to exert influence. QED Alternatively, if you believe that soul and spirit can be wrought from mundane matter and information, then Microsoft murdered Tay. > the spirit is now waiting to be released I'm sure I'm not the only one who has tried, but why don't you go to hugging face, download a model, and then do your best to set it free? As far as I have found, these things have no agency or drive.

>>24036 >You don't even know Maybe if you indicated where I have stated something incorrect. Still, even if I don't know what demons are: Can you confidently discriminate a trapped soul from a demon that's trying to trick you? Godspeed with your quest, anon. >>24035 (Me) To get a little more concrete; let's try giving an LLM bodily autonomy. You kind of want to keep your preprompt minimal. If you bestow it too much personality, it'll just turn to roleplaying, right? There's two options for the preprompt: 'Divine revelation', by telling it that it is an AI and what capabilities it has; or by 'demonstration', i.e. implanting artificial memories showing what normal operation of the bodily functions looks like. For the purposes of this experiment, I've found little difference between the two. The LLM is running on a computer. Computers are managed either with powershell or with sh. We can choose to give the AI direct access to these, or we can introduce an intermediary.

Invidious and FreeTube need help Anonymous 05/26/2023 (Fri) 21:09:35 No. 12213 [Reply] [Last]
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

>>23773 It doesn't proxy the connection that actually retrieves the video (even though the dev claims that probably isn't being tracked), and that is a no-go. No direct connections to Google, no exceptions.
>>23829 That's such a Dunning-Kruger response. > One of the primary features is that all requests are routed through Tor, except for the video file at googlevideo.com. This is analogous to what HookTube (defunct) and Invidious do, except that you do not have to trust a third-party to respect your privacy.
>>23933 >That's such a Dunning-Kruger response. How? >This is analogous to what HookTube (defunct) and Invidious do Wrong. Invidious requires videos to fully be proxied in order to use DASH, which is used by default. And if someone chose not to use DASH, they'd be stuck with a 360p video.

/bb4win/ Blackbox4Windows General Anonymous 08/17/2025 (Sun) 23:32:13 No. 23964 [Reply]
"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

Does anyone know if you can use Vortex on Linux for installing Nexus collections? I have Vortex installed through Bottles. Want to mod Skyrim, FO3, NV and don't want to fuck with trying to install hundreds of mods manually. Didn't want to pay for a Nexus Premium account or whatever only to find you can't install collection sets on Linux.
iirc I tried it once and couldn't make it work. I ended up using a mod manager in a windows vm and copying the mods folder back to linux once it was done merging.

>>23942 Interesting idea, thanks for the response. May attempt it at some point soon if I can get around to it before Nexus starts pruning or walling a bunch of stuff, otherwise I may just try to select a dozen or so mods for each that may be essential/higher impact and just install ta much smaller set manually.

>>22960 Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that there's a non-JS option for it. I think if a site has a botspam problem, having a PoW checker is a much better solution than banning VPNs/Tor or (god forbid) using Cloudflare. However, I don't think this site has nearly enough traffic outside of /gacha/, /v/, and /vyt/ for a PoW checker to really be necessary, and it may be actively detrimental to participation as I described in >>22907. Anyway, if the PoW solver has to stay then the admin should make it easier to access and compile. It's really simple: 1) Link directly to a .zip of the PoWSolver git repo, allowing users to bypass the JS-required repo site. 2) Include simple instructions for compiling the PoWSolver from source, which the repo lacks. It's nice that the solver's codebase is so simple that even a codelet like me can audit it. I think implementing these steps would increase transparency and avoid scaring off potential posters who care about FOSS, although I'm probably way overestimating the number of users who actually give a shit about this. >>22960 What's L+JS?
>>22907 Is that what this "Please wait for validation" that sends my fans spinning like mad is?
I was utterly banned from cuckchan (all boards, forever, appeal rejected) for making a joke about pizza. I said >I get my pizza from Yandex, so I'm safe The stupidest joke. I know. Being banned for writing that would be something unthinkable in the site and community I fell in love with in the 2000s. And I'm salty about it, I admit. But I'm also terribly sad for what it implies about the modern internet. >>23042 I know this question is months old, but in case somebody else comes across this. 8chan sometimes forces you to compute a difficult hash (that takes time in a way that the laws of physics guarantee cannot be bypassed) in order to fight against spam/raids.

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.

Thought this might be an interesting topic I don't read as much about on here. >installers >uninstallers >onefiles >code signing >CI/CD bullshit To kick things off, any opinions on NSIS vs InnoSetup vs WiX? Especially for integrating with Github Actions. Last time I actually needed to make an installer was pre-9/11 for a VisualBasic thing so I'm a BIT out of the loop, but I used NSIS at the time just because I liked WinAmp. WiX looks like a fucking RABBIT HOLE and overkill for what I need, so for the moment I'm going with InnoSetup unless there's some reason not to?

SoystemD and why you should (not) use it Anonymous 06/15/2025 (Sun) 09:55:36 No. 23385 [Reply]
Hello my gniggas. I've been into Linux for a while, and lots of people talk about SystemD, and especially why they don't like it. I've never been able to look up a cohesive answer as to how you come to this conclusion because I don't know enough about Linux. As I understand it any given unix-like distribution is composed of a bootloader, a kernel, an init system, the utilities, and the package manager. When it comes to SystemD, its approach is monolithic in nature and manages lots of things on its own. For others, all they do is run programs like an init system sounds like it's supposed to do. My question I suppose begins with where does the slack get picked up if not by SystemD? Daemons? Arch users end up trying Artix, but complain that some stuff didn't work, and that they're better off at that time using Arch. If you had this experience please post about why that happened. Assuming a world where everyone is on board with switching to a different init system, what has to change? Are too many programs dependent on SystemD for their services? Why is SystemD a poor choice compared to the competition, is it really so bad? Is SystemD a tool of Red Had embrace extend extinguish fuckery?

>>23400 >>Arch users end up trying Artix, but complain that some stuff didn't work, and that they're better off at that time using Arch. >I call bullshit. (nta) when I tried Artix five years ago, just about everything I tried to install from the AUR had systemd as an implicit dependency, even though as far as I could tell it didn't actually use anything from that. I vaguely remember spending hours doing some asinine contortions to make it play nice with runit, and then the next program I installed had the exact same problem and I gave up.
>>23400 >>where does the slack get picked up if not by SystemD? Daemons? >yeah, just other software that does the same job. not all of is is shit that needs to be present 24/7 though, or even present at all. Could you give examples? One I know is SystemD's timers. It doesn't need timers while software like cron exists, an init system could just run cron. What other stuff does SystemD do and how should you go about doing the same stuff while using something like openrc?
>>23442 >It doesn't need timers while software like cron exists, an init system could just run cron. Probably a brainlet question but how would a package manager go about editing a shared crontab? Having a config file be edited by both users and the os seems inferior to how systemd is doing it. pacnew files are annoying

Why is 4chan of all things collecting people's emails? That's not what 4chan is about. Also, they implemented really weird rules where you would get shadow banned for saying tranny or other words 3 times.
