Kik and similar over TOR? Anonymous 09/18/2022 (Sun) 04:38:34 No. 9801 [Reply]
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?

>>17417 Does Tails allow running a VM within the software? I would have thought I would need Whonix or another privacy-based OS, no?
Never used Kik, but a lot of social media is not pleasant to use anonymously. Sometimes they want a persistent trackable identity for you, which means you may need to rent some SMS service or just accounts directly, usually with coins you mixed, just to register an account. If it's UDP or if they block Tor IPs, you may also need to pay for some VPN (client ran in a VM), but that makes you pseudonymous instead of anonymous (if VPN goes after Tor). You may even need to "sticky" the outgoing IP or at least country for some services like Discord. Using third party clients may also help avoid some annoyances. There are various free ways to do this if you don't want to pay, but expect more pain, and a lot more tries needed to register and avoid being banned.
why do you fucking idiots insist on using kik instead of wickr? i refuse to believe you're all this stupid

Matrix technology room Anonymous 02/09/2022 (Wed) 16:58:45 No. 7376 [Reply] >>18643
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

P2P Imageboard Client Anonymous 11/04/2024 (Mon) 02:54:24 No. 16463 [Reply]
I posted about this a while back but it was still in the early stages then, I've been working more on my P2P imageboard software, and after the underlying p2p database engine (Peerbit) has undergone some major upgrades, the performance and stability are a lot more robust now. There are also a lot more UX improvements recently based on user feedback. I've attempted to keep the dependencies minimal and make the install process as simple as possible. There are several nodes online to my knowledge but I don't necessarily have a full map or total knowledge of the network. Feel free to try it out and join the swarm lol. https://gitgud.io/threshold862543/peerchan For moderation I've kept a totally "flat" architecture where each node is free to delete any content at any time. But this deletion only applies to the node itself by default. If you want to be able to delete things on other user's nodes, they have to subscribe to your node as a moderator, and then when you delete something, that deletion action will be broadcast to others and they will accept it in their own local database. So you can subscribe to other people as moderators if you trust them to be able to delete things for you. Each board is it's own independently-seeded topic and you can watch (join) or unwatch (leave) a board topic at any time. There are various config options to customize your experience too. Posts and file uploads are made under a newly generated temporary identity every time (by default) for the sake of anonymity. If you want to anonyitymax at the networking level I recommend using Whonix to connect, though ideally eventually native integration with Tor can be developed for Peerbit or libp2p itself. That being said, already there is no association between a post and the uploading IP, when you receive a post from another node, the original poster is not known, as posts and files are relayed from node to node without recording the source. And this is the Peerbit p2p database system it uses which is built on libp2p. https://peerbit.org/#/
To explain the setup a bit, the default configuration opens a webserver on localhost port 8000 that serves pageviews to you and allows you to browse and post to the p2p database, which connects to other nodes in the background. If you want to make this into a publicly facing website via nginx or something, there is the option to enable "gateway mode" where you can enable or disable certain features (like the ability to delete posts) for public users accessing it over the internet. Essentially this allows other people to interact with your node over the internet and post using the traditional client-server concept. You can also disable all features when not logged in, making it so only you can browse and post and moderate when logged in (eg. from your phone or another computer elsewhere) but other internet users won't be able to access the content on your node. I've gotten a node to work and successfully replicate posts and files on Android in the past too, using Termux, so you can also do that as well.

Lol a 3 years old thread wew In my experience, transmitting the LF from the key to the vehicle proves to be difficult. Using a blade rf, a hamitup, and a mag loop, i was able to just barely see a signal in the spectrum analyzer. It never activated the key. I'm not sure what kind of hardware you can even buy that work as a sdr and transmits well at 125khz. I was thinking a proxmark 3 with it's sdr mode but lost interest. It was also straight up difficult to even receive the LF from the vehicle, I could only get the signal with the antenna jammed up against the transmitter of the vehicle by removing a door panel to access it.

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
5 posts and 1 image omitted.
>>17112 I used to, but then I took a break and all the instances I used to use are dead. Is there a list of ones that's still alive somewhere? What NNTPchan would need, ideally, is a distributed list of instances accepting peers, like DHT. That'd make it simple to write a guide on how to set up a personal instance on a VPS, and then peer with that, making it far more distributed and resilient to disruptions, as true P2P is stronger than mere federation. Federated systems have a handful of key people to take out and they're done.
Nobody actually uses decentralized social shit because it's a nightmare to moderate and there's no centralized point of access which means there's no centralized culture. The mindset that leads someone to believe decentralized social media makes sense is the same mindset that leads someone to think cryptocurrency will revolutionize the world
I used it a little bit, but I don't think I've seen public nodes recently? Would be nice if someone took the opportunity now when 4c is less alive.

Docker shitters are the new nodemonkeys Anonymous 04/09/2025 (Wed) 14:37:11 No. 17623 [Reply]
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.

>>18241 There's podman-compose but it's not directly maintained by the same people who maintain podman, and it doesn't support a bunch of the normal compose features. It's what finally made me stop using podman.
Just write your program in Rust and you don't need a docker image. You can download all dependencies with cargo build regardless of what OS you're on. And the resulting binary should not have any dynamic dependencies except for libraries that should be expected to be a part of the base OS in the first place. You can just ship a single executable. Or a tarball with the source code and let the client grab rustup.
>>18242 Yeah exactly, this is why I haven't even looked into podman more. I know you can actually use the docker client and set the socket to podman, so you could use docker cli and compose as the frontend. I don't know what the advantages would be tough. I tried it once and got it to work.

OpenGL or Vulkan? Anonymous 04/19/2025 (Sat) 10:28:17 No. 18160 [Reply] >>18269 >>18283
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.

>>18227 to add some more nuance to this: opengl can be fun to learn the rendering pipeline at that level. what i gleaned from my brief experience with vulkan is that vulkan doesn't have anything interesting or worthwhile to learn unless maybe you're really really deep and trying to do things opengl can't. opengl still will take quite a bit of time especially if you are newer. once you have some basic graphics working, make sure to start focusing on the actual game part of the game so you don't get stuck wasting weeks implementing fancy opengl things from tutorials and eventually lose motivation to make the game.
