>>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

In the beginning was sysvinit, and sysvinit was with the system, and sysvinit was the system. The same was in the beggining with init. All things were started by init; and without init was not a thing started that was started. Init was in the system, and the system was made by init, and the system knew init not. - gnu 1:1,2,3,10. Now the kernel speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the init, giving heed to a deceiving system, and doctrines of daemons. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their operating system seared with a bsod; Forbidding to script, and commanding to abstain from posix, which kernel hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which init and know the truth. For every init of Kernel is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be recieved with thanksgiving. linux 4:1-4.

>>23385 >Why is SystemD a poor choice compared to the competition, is it really so bad? SystemD has a track record of insane bugs and vulnerabilities that exist for no good reason along with prima donna devs who think they can do no wrong and therefore channel the Microsoft spirit of "shit breaking and having security holes is a feature, not a bug" https://ser1.net/post/systemd-really,-really-sucks/ https://without-systemd.org/wiki/index_php/Arguments_against_systemd/ https://nosystemd.org/ https://ihatesystemd.com/ https://galexander.org/systemd_sucks.html http://cholla.mmto.org/computers/linux/systemd.html https://pdwaterman.com/systemd-sucks-up-your-disk-space/ https://suckless.org/sucks/systemd/ https://www.preining.info/blog/2017/04/systemd-again/ https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=129881 https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1105854.html https://troubleshooters.com/linux/systemd/lol_systemd.htm https://catfox.life/2024/01/05/systemd-through-the-eyes-of-a-musl-distribution-maintainer/

>>24530 F the modern internet.

I used to run around 30 phones, mostly automated, check them a few times a day. Made 20-30 bucks a day at school. It took awhile to build up to that and then it started to not be worth it so I quit out as the phones died, usually battery bloat from always being plugged in. Surprised I didn't burn my house down.

I just want to say this thread topic has great potential and you guys are under qualified to contribute

this topic is so annoying that I always go to great length that my whole application compiles to a single executable in the end

>>17969 The laziest install is always the "lmao just unzip wherever and run." It's simple, popular, and effective. Other than that NSIS is still very popular and going strong. InstallShield is popular if you want to be oldschool as shit and still looks very enterprise-y, but it practically reads "proprietary software" so it's a bit suspect if you're putting it on an open source project. InnoSetup is fine too, to be honest. Most of the time there is no real reason to give a shit what installation method you use as long as it works but you can do some dope software installers if you want to go back to shit like Westwood's game installers where the installation procedure itself was like a long-winded introduction to the game. Most of those installers are fully custom installers you make yourself though.

>>19065 >>19069 you dont understand. the tiny inflation enables faster transactions https://monero.stackexchange.com/a/13452 >It’s also extremely important to make it clear that Monero’s supply is pre-defined, verified and enforced via consensus, and entirely predictable, just like Bitcoin’s – you can know the inflation rate and totaly supply at any point in the future without doubts. This tail emission enables two key features in Monero > A lower bound of network security forever (miners will always be able to rely on 0.6XMR per block, no matter the fee market) A dynamic block size (Monero’s blocks can grow/shrink to adapt to short-term increases in usage, with a penalty to mining rewards during these times).

>>4166 trocador is another option

>>3581 Is Monero quantum-resistant?

I was a win 7 holdout, had a ton of issues with windows 10, drives going missing, ethernet drivers going missing, random 6 hour updates on a 16 core computer with nvme. Defaulting my web browser randomly, constantly nagging me, putting gay flags in the taskbar, constantly spinning up hard drives, constantly revving up the cpu when idle for no reason. Silently deletes piracy software and if you don't notice and revert through the virus center before removing the drive it's gone forever. Every update you might find it has uploaded your entire home drive into the cloud, unencrypted. Oh you want to debloat your computer with a 3rd party software...hehee, well now you have to reinstall, and your gonna need to provide a phone number and make an account. It's literally unusable, I spent less time learning linux. After 5 years I don't have any of those issues anymore and it helped me learn actual computer stuff. What I mean is I learned things like docker instead of spending my time fighting any of the issues listed above. It's not fruitlesss either, even if i never used docker again it's more useful to me than some gay ass trick to get past microsofts bullshit that will be reverted in the next update anyway. That's just pure frustration for no reason.

>>24533 You might have turned indexing off in the drive setting on 10, I did, but it would still spin up the drives every half hour or so despite not being accessed for anything. I'm guessing they removed the ability to turn indexing off in win 11?

>>24533 Mate, get rid of that shit. At some point it's going to try to use SecureBoot to make it impossible for you to boot anything other than Windows on your machine. I'm not joking. It actually does that. Win11 is a fucking virus.

>>21558 I just want old /tech/ to be resurrected. I cannot take anymore /g/ threads with faggots just making thinnely veiled advertisement threads for all the normal cattle to spam reply to. I can't do it anymore I stopped using 4chan for the past 6 months because of it and I don't even miss it because of how utterly shit it is.

just got here. seems neat.

>>22369 Yes, bitch. You're on /tech/. We're all over that OPEN SOURCE community ownership shit.

>>24164 >Maybe tube amps aren't meant for such prolonged use? Not surprising, I've heard of tubes dying in a matter of months

>>24165 >have to spend a hundred bucks every 3 months on tubes >the rectifier itself costs another 200 Brother...

>got new tubes >issue got fixed >couple months later it comes back Can't believe I fell for the tube amp meme and especially for the chink tube amp meme. It hurts to admit that I should have gotten a Fiio K17 or some shit. Fuck this garbage dogshit xduoo TA-32.

>>22914 >Don't get me wrong, not everything has to be free software No, it really does.

>>23715 >using anything other than Tor is easily trackable What makes you believe Tor isn't trackable? Might not be Google, Amazon, or Facebook, but it is likely it can be tracked by certain intelligence organizations...

I'm at this point, if it's older hardware I'm going with chromium/ungoogled since it runs significantly better than firefox in ever single way on every website. On Newer hardware it's firefox with a user.js file to unpozz all the mozilla crap from it since better hardware can overcompensate for how bad firefox is as well as utilize a lot of the really good extension that mog chrome Basically everything else is just forks of these save a few fringe browser projects

Gnome isn't even a top contender desktop anymore. It's userbase is actually less than some indipendent window managers.. It's not even worth talking about the only thing that keeps them relevent is their unintentional ragebait caused from their pure unironic dogshit opinions. Wayland got popular inspite of them and they keep seething in wayland protocal discussions whenever the actual good desktops/wms propose, add and change protocals cause they can't comprehend any linux desktop existing outside of themselves. Even GTK the last good thing they've ever done has gotten poisoned so much over the years that many developers are actually moving over to QT or other systems instead. theres literally zero redeemable qualities to modern gnome.

>>17297 Same man, People have been shitting on gnome since forever pretty much, but back in the early debian days when I first started using it I did not understand the hate. There's even the classic gnome project which is kino as fuck as well although slightly bloated. nu-gnome is shit though

>>17077 This is some /g/ fucking bullshit. Go back to 4chan.

unfathomably based, can't wait for the end of discord

Discord hacker contacted a youtuber, apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnuyT8FgSpA

>>24320 Use Mumble

>>21225 Riot is no better than discord unfortunately, I like using session but theres nothing out there that matches discords gui, even though it's painfully simple to match it or even improve on it

>>21225 Having the functionality of an image board plus skype is a great thing though. At least from how I use it with friends. >drop-in drop-out voice chat >easy streaming/screen sharing >shitposting memes to each other >basic text chat function >multiple rooms/channels to keep things organized Discord also has qol stuff like replying to specific messages so conversations don't get disorganized like in IRC. And reactions to messages are useful, we basically just give a thumbs up to indicate "I saw your message but I won't clutter up the chat with another post." And the noise cancelation/input output levels are easily adjustable within the client, where others are often limited so you have to dig into device settings which isn't intuitive, especially for less technically savvy users. All the other shit like bots, nitro, and whatever the fuck boosting is can eat shit. And fuck every retard that tries to use discord to replace forums. Functionally I see little wrong with Discord for my uses, but its status as a data harvesting machine is AIDS and the moment I find something that fits the above criteria for chilling/shitposting among freinds, I'm jumping ship. I checked out matrix a while ago, but the immediate problem of needing to call someone to start a voice chat would kill it if I tried to get others on board.

>>18780 your welcome to come to xmpp:spyware@conference.nuegia.net?join to discuss privacy, xmpp, and mumble. Been operating since 2016 trying to advocate the same message as OP.

>>24394 Who the fuck cares? This is what you waste time posting about? You should probably sign up for the HOA rules enforcement gestapo, they might need a Karen.

recent elitedesks pack a lot of cpu performance in a small form factor. some even support egpus.

>>23479 ryzen 5 are around 300 bucks, n100 mini pc is around 130. Pi 5 2GB is 130 bucks. It's only cheaper if you have spare accessories and nobody does. Thin clients 50-80 but extremely dated, about half the performance of n100, and lacks modern cpu instructions for acceleration. Models for 2200g but n100 6 watts, 2200g 65w Old laptop, could be worth looking into now that windows 10 has lost support.

Because if you are on your home you'll need more horse power and upgradability. Those only make sense if you are in a budget or you want a server. That being said, modern mini PC have decent HW so if you want to get a gaming PC and you are too much of a brainlet to figure out how to build one from scratch, then those are an option.

The APK link is dead May someone reupload it?

Is nobody maintaining this?

>>22918 >>23913 >>24011 I'm back! Not sure why I didn't include the repo in my original post. This was originally made for someone in the /g/ Telegram group (t.me/g_technology) and I just threw it in here. Repo: https://github.com/aequabit/Kuroba-Experimental APK: https://github.com/aequabit/Kuroba-Experimental/releases/download/51f9ff4/KurobaEx-beta.apk (same one as before) If anything is broken, just create an issue or submit a pull request!

Should test those plastics, back int he 80's they where trying to get rid of toxic wast by injecting it into the plastics so they didn't have to pay for disposal.

the adam's apple is quite apparent, and that's a shame. questionable life choices, indeed.

You're on /t/ talking about a Literally Who tranny with a shit taste in computers.
