>>21798 Do you have any specific examples of legitimate domains blocked by cloudflare or notable ddos attacks carried out by ddos mitigation companies?

>>21839 >blocked by cloudflare They don't have to block you. They just have to deny you service. They're a (((private company))) after all. It just so happens if they deny you service, your cost of operating a web site goes way up. See Kiwi Farms, 8kun, Anglin, ... >ddos attacks carried out by ddos mitigation companies? Krebs used to report on these a lot before he took up screeching about politics full time https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/01/ddos-mitigation-firm-founder-admits-to-ddos/ For small time companies it's so common it almost goes without comment.

>>21694 >Can you be more specific about the intended use, preferred size, and budget? Use is an old lady who takes tons of pics and video of family and events. It basically needs to handle someone who's not great at photography. The simpler the better, probably. She currently uses a Moto G that's a year or two old, but I don't know the exact model. Size, preferably compact, but the main goal is to avoid something unwieldy. I don't think it'll be worth having a giant lens, red dot sight, and underslung grenade launcher. I just don't even know what counts for compact these days, but a sizable screen would be a plus since eyesight is getting worse. Budget. It's for my mom so I don't mind splurging a bit, but like everything else, I don't even know the prices these go for right now. You're right, most people use phones these days so I've paid zero attention to dedicated cameras. I'd like to spend maybe a few hundred bucks, but if they cost more, they cost more. >In general, the well-established camera companies (Nikon, Canon, etc.) do not play any stupid games with vendor lock-in or other bullshit. This is the main thing I wanted to know, thanks. I'm just trying to avoid the issue that TVs, entertainment centers, etc all seem to have. "Smart" shit, an app so your phone is the remote but when the servers go offline then your stuff doesn't work, that kind of thing.

>>21765 The first recommendation that comes to mind is an Olympus Pen, but that may be more complex than she wants. I haven't followed the non-interchangeable lens compact market in a long time, but I'm sure there are some good options. Ricoh and Sony have historically made some very good ones. If there's a good camera store in your area, probably your best bet is go and just see what's available.

>>17634 >scrolling As an addendum, this kind of resolved itself. The scrolling problem appeared in multiple other programs (but not all of them) and kind of resolved itself with another system update, and I have no idea how or why. I still hate bleeding edge linux distributions.

>>21932 >I'm on Linux running from source Try running the venv with different options for Qt before updating.

>>21952 >not those of the posters. Yes it did. The hacker simply chose not to make them public (officially).

>>21206 Yeah. I was being kind of hypocritical here, I guess. I'm technically using second display too, because I have a drawing pad. But at work, I have actually unplugged my second monitor. And replaced it with the PIP/PBP function of my main screen. (they recently outfitted us with ultrawide 1440p 34")

>>21221 I currently have 3x 1080p setup, and for me it seems to work perfectly, there's no scaling issues with applications (since some software or stuff don't scale well with higher PPI/DPIs), I just need the 1 or 3 monitors on top row for external sources, because then I could keep all monitors within my field of view. Problem is that directly behind the middle monitor there's no place on the table to attach clamp mount on the table (since there's some "side wall" under the table that prevents doing it, only with the 2 holes on the sides could do it with some long ass arms).

bump. If I buy a table clamp mount that's has long enough arm and is sturdy make, it should be good enough for one 23-24" monitor, right? That way I could have 1 monitor above my middle monitor, that would be used for game consoles and stuff.

>>21363 How do you deal with something so small?

>>21363 Update on mechanical/rubberdome stuff: Just now learned of ZealPC Clickiez switches which seem to actually do a decent job of replicating the sound and tactility of Alps in MX form. Unfortunately they're expensive as shit due to the creator trying to recoup the R&D costs of copying an ancient Chinese clone mechanism from the 90s. It would explain why most builds use them in 60% or TLK cases, despite most of them lacking the case size and depth to reverberate more like older keyboards. >>21573 Layers. Yurops and Asias had to do the same thing for non-latin characters and/or diacritics, and more to enter random Unicode characters. One can search up any 60% or smaller form factor for whichever macros and layer settings are used. Some Youtube geniuses would argue the Shift key or the Num/Scroll/Caps Lock keys are layers, but keyboards have had their function marked down for over 35 years by this point.

I don't really know anything about keyboards, but for a long time I've been wanting a keyboard that's "standardized." It might already exist, but basically when parts of my keyboard go bad, I don't know how to fix them, and I don't like switching between keyboards with different sizes etc. For example, I have this Fujitsu FKB4725 I saved from getting thrown out of an office cleanup. I like the size of it, but the backspace key is sticky. I don't remember what was wrong with it when I tried to fix it, but the point is that I don't know if I can just buy new parts to replace it. Not only that, when I switch between other keyboards I own (or laptops), the key spacing and size throws me off and I have to think a little harder about typing than I normally would. So if I have to replace keyboards in the future, I want to either have a model I know is just always going to be there, or have a standard so I can effectively do the same thing even if it's a different model/manufacturer. >Budget Low (but don't really care that much) >Location USA >Preferred switch type Don't care >Layout ANSI >Form factor 100% >Backlight No >Previous/current keyboards

>>17789 I'm using firefox, mostly because it's my smartphone browser of choice. I know it won't be around for much longer since google will have to cut their funding. I'll probably move to the least retarded chromium based alternative.

>>18138 been using it for many years exclusively. It's great for me as it just works, has all the features I need and good synch across devices

>>18877 NTA but the answer is that you can't "randomize" your fingerprint. The browser fingerprint is a function of how pages are downloaded and rendered. If you actually wanted to randomize it, you'd get unreadable fonts with random screen resolutions. Also change your browser & OS randomly because network stacks are also fingerprintable. So you can only modify values that aren't hardcoded and do not affect rendering, which affects a very limited number of bits in your fingerprint. As soon as your adversary tries to fuzzy match on it you're fucked.

>>21876 I am never moving to 11. Fuck that. People have been using unsupported OSes for ages. Right?

>>21829 Are there dark web public/private trackers?

>>21944 I'm not aware of any that are exclusive to the darknet; they are likely all available on the clearnet and may have a hidden service for Tor users.

>>21944 >>21953 There are but at least 70% are for pizza and you want to avoid them, though most are private trackers anyways by necessity, I dont remember what they're called but I remember at least two normal public trackers on the darkweb though and i2p has hundreds of them Torrents are inherently deanonymising though, and a perfect solution other than >with a wifi extender you can do anything hasn't been found

>Can someone actually explain, in layman's terms, what blockchain actually are? It's a ledger. On a bunch of people's computers at the same time. Spending money requires updating the ledger. Updating the ledger requires solving some cryptographic problems. When you help update the ledger, you get a small percentage of the money spent.

>>17895 >super passionate Cool, you mind answering a retard's question? Could blockchain be used to host something like a private server amongst friends? Think of a discord server for a group or a game server, like maybe 100 people or so, for the purpose of the question, invite only. Instead of everything being hosted on a server, could it be hosted on a small chain? Rather than having someone host, you just send your friends a link, through that they join the chain. Once on chain, and as long as they're online, they're helping to host. Get a few guys together and you no longer have a single point of failure. I mean, if cryptominers can run mostly undetectable on people's computers (the ones that sneak in with sketchy downloads, etc) couldn't a small blockchain run on very low-impact nodes? I guess it might work better as essentially proof of stake, but the "stake" would just be an assigned role as a trusted user on that server. I'm imagining a chat program where each server is deployed as its own chain. Is this already done with other tech? Am I just dumb as fuck and this is either not feasible or doesn't solve anything? I feel like I explained this like shit. lol

>>20184 Crypto will go mainstream when visa and MasterCard support on the fly currency conversion, while handling all the shitty technical quirks of Bitcoin. (Like your wallet ID changing after every transaction)

>>21844 How much less cancer? Do I not need a ffmpeg font folder added to the environment variables or a second timestamp for the subs in milliseconds seperate from the timestamps I'm already using for the video and audio?

>>21824 maybe try ffmpeg in wsl as a possible workaround. or even better, abandon wintardism altogether.

>>21853 See for yourself and report back.
